Thanks Rocky,for your thoughtful reply. I've always appreciated
how you reach out and listen
to the citizens of our city.
First off, I thought those hi risers were in the neighboring
city Indian Harbor but maybe I
am mistaken,
Another area I want to discuss which I think is very important
to our city is reducing the amount
of community agitation. You may be aware that there are always
many in the community who get agitated with some new development. Last
year it was the helicopter and this year it is Cumberland Farms.
I have some ideas and I am sure other do, that I think may help.
One idea that I think would be inexpensive and easy for the city
to implement pertains
to the removal of specimen trees. Perhaps we can save the acorns
and seeds from these
trees for a seed bank. That way property owners can get free
seeds from the city to plant
on their grounds. This would result in smaller trees but the
same variety and species of
trees that grew here for hundreds of years and that were
removed.
Just thinking aloud with you here, what do you think of this
idea? But also the whole idea
of seeing how we can mitigate community agitation.

Ray, Thank you , I was able to open the site to
Satellite Beach, and review their progress
on Sea Level Rise. I don’t understand how all the new
high rise Condos were permitted
on the Ocean; east of A.1.A. with that strong an
Ordinance. I notice that their efforts
were to discourage; and later crossed out for areas in
the Costal High Hazard Area .
It is a challenge between the owners of the land who
want to build on their land; and
the Cities who try to protect the desires of their
residents. Thanks for finding me a link
that our City Computers would permit me to open Rocky

Dear Mayor, I looked around and found that our neighbor
city Satellite Beach also did their research and came up with some plans
and an ordinance. I thought you may find this interesting. Maybe some
pointers we can consider
too.

Hello Mayor Rocky,
Recently I saw a report on a climate change seminar that
Jeff Ratliff went to late last year. Did you get chance to review it? I
am glad to see our city take proactive steps in this direction as many
Florida communities are already involved with climate change adaption
policies.
I believe we should include this discussion topic on how
our city will be preparing for climate change at future meetings. I'd
like to send you links and article on this topic now and then as I will
be bringing it up at upcoming city council meetings and would welcome
your thoughts on it.
