Past water meeting, held before the IWA lifted its moratorium on new water connections on April 1,1978, were marked by audiences that nu«nt>ered substantially higher. George Tehney, chairman of the IWA nominating committee, placed the following names in nomination for the vacancies to be filled on the IWA Board: John Codk, for a two- year term; Joseph Winterrowd for a tpp^year term and Arthur Wykoff to finish the one-year unexpired term of Don Seymour, who resigned.

By DONALD MOODY A state plan to protect the sensitive wetlands, mangroves and islands of Florida's 1,350 mile long coastline faces an uphill struggle in the state Legislature this year in spite of strong support from Southwest Florida lawmakers. Lee County legislative delegation Chairman State Rep. Frank Mann CD- Fort Myers) said the coastal zone plan stands a good chance of passage in the House, but faces a tough battle in the Florida Senate this year. State Sen. Warren Henderson (R- Sarasota), a long-time conservationist in the Legislature, said the plan has his "complete support" but admitted there is strong opposition in the Senate to the plan. "I think most of the opposition centers on the delineation of the various coastal zone areas and the development restrictions of each of the defined zones," Henderson said. The proposed coastal zone plan sets up three classifications of coastal areas: Vital Areas, Conservation Areas and Development Areas. Vital Areas include all wildlife refuges, aquatic preserves, state and county parks and other environmentally sensitive areas which would be totally protected. Conservation Areas are sensitive beach areas and other coastal areas which would be subject to some specific building restrictions in con- formance with coastal setback codes. Development Areas are coastal areas subject to high intensity development. State Rep. Paul Nuckolls said he supports the coastal zone plan but has some doubts about the plan's restrictions on new industry and road building in Southwest Florida. "When the state planning people and Lee County are already subject to big developers are employing scare Reubin Askew's strong support of the appeared before the Tourism and coastal zone restrictions and beach tactics" to kill the plan, and "they have plan plus the fact that many of the Commerce Committee to talk about the setback codes," Mrs. Hawkins said, more influence on the state Senate side vested agricultural interests have coastal plan, they admitted that it "and these rules simply consolidate of the Legislature than the House." already forced some boundary changes could have an impact on some road- into a unified plan under the state "The real proKlem is clarifying the in the drafting of the plan to exclude building plans in Southwest Florida, Department of Environemental intent of this legislation so the people them will help its chances in the especially near rivers and wetlands," Regulation (DER)." know that this is not just land grab or Legislature^ Nuckolls said.
