We realize that a utopian situation may be desirabie by some, but the net result in improvement of •he natural environment would be negligible. It appears that.the present zoning ordinance provides very adequate protection for our environment in regard1 to all shorelaild construction since the ordinance has been in effect·. :•: In regard to· existing in- stallations prior to the enforc:ement of this. ordinance, a proposed change of this magnitude would not solve these possible problems-- that already exist. · · •· <:·/ Again we think1,:that it would be a grave:::error to reclassify our rivers and· streams to a NaturM-:l Environment Classification since · . any advantages would be greatly out-weighed by the disadvant_ages ~- We trust the Board_of-Commissionerstwill<,not act-in haste and·due consideration will be given to our request to leave our rivers and streams in the General D~velopnient Classification. '· We therefore would like to go on record as·opposing any proposed changes re•classifying our rivers and streams toNatural Environment. Yours truly, /S/Anthony o. Johnson Pres.
