Tim Myers wants to keep the peace and quiet in his neighborhood...and keep recreational vehicles out.

"They're not safe, traffic will increase, the noise, the road just isn't wide enough and safe enough," says Myers.

Myers and more than 300 of his neighbors are upset about a local developer's plan to build a six-acre R.V. park on Wilde Lake Boulevard in the Pine Forest community. Escambia County officials have approved the proposal, but Myers and his friends says they'll fight the issue for as long as it takes.

"We want the developer to not just band-aid the situation as far as the roads go," says Myers. "It needs to be widened and we also hope the park won't bring down our property values. There's a chance that could happen later down the road, especially if the R.V. park becomes a homestead park."

Developer Wyndell Williams did not return our phone calls. Meanwhile, the Escambia County Board of Adjustments will listen to Myers and his neighbors as they appeal the decision to approve the R.V. park. The meeting will be held Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. at the old Escambia County Courthouse in downtown Pensacola.
