CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** The headline on Gary J. Paschang's letter about Virginia Beach city councilman Robert Dean, who is running for re-election, should have read No Dean for Council. Correction published Friday, May 3, 1996 on page A14 in THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT. ***************************************************************** DEAN FOR COUNCIL

I'm amused whenever I read a Robert Dean for council ad. He always says he's for the Comprehensive Plan, like he's for responsible government.

I'm the small guy. Last September I had a small rezoning proposal before the City Council completely in accord with the Comprehensive Plan. Fortunately, council passed it, but Dean led the opposition!

Then two months later the big guys arrive, a large well-known local developer with deep pockets. The company wanted to increase density on a large tract many times beyond what the Comprehensive Plan calls for and in direct violation of it. Their property, Upton Esttes, is two miles from mine in Ocean Lakes.

Guess who leads the way for the big developers - Robert Dean.

Makes you wonder why anyone should believe him. His ads should tell real truth.
