Whiting The Roosevelt City Council was willing to work with David R. Palmer two months ago when he aaked them to allow hia huainesa to remain in an area zoned for residential uee, but tiie UJS. Securities and Exchange Commission isn't as generous.

Earfy lst week FBI agents reportedly searched the home at 763 So. State where Palmer had set up shop last spring and seized records ana equipment FBI officials declined comment on the investigation, but Thomas Melton, trial counsel for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed that Palmer had been served with a ceaae and desist order at his huainesa on Monday, Nov. 4. The order alleges that Palmers pristine water, open space, freedom from congestion and crime and other amenities will be maintained and preserved in an environment which provides for business, recreational, affordable housing; and educational opportunities. So what does all of this boil down to?

It also includes one year and five year plans for capital improvements for each component. The components are economic development, community development, and housing plan development.
