mately 150 persons were present in opposition. Mr. Gerard Bijwaard, President of
the Sugar Loaf Farms Civic Association, appeared in opposition citing traffic prob-
lems along 419, the fact that this proposed use of the land is inconsistent with tee

statement requesting the Supervisors to place a moratorium on rezoning requests on
419 until the County's new zoning ordinance is completed and legislation is enactec
whereby contractual zoning would be permitted. Mr. Harry Poindexter, a representa
