JENNINGS, Administrator <br />ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT <br />APR 231975 <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />V JLY <br />Mr. Howard Pautzke <br />Zoning Inspector <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />VERO BEACH, FLORIDA . 32960 <br />April 22, 1975 <br />Dear Mr. Pautzke: <br />I have reviewed the Resolution affecting the limitation <br />on constructing beverage outlets within approximately 2,500 <br />feet of a school or church and find that, although our <br />particular situation appears to be in violation of the <br />intent of the' Resolution, it is not, in fact, a violation <br />as the Resolution 0.s worded. I cite primarily the reference <br />to measurements from the main entrance to the premises of <br />the liquor establishment and the nearest property line <br />which is approximately one-half to three-quarters of a <br />mile. If you measure pedestrian traffic on the public <br />thoroughfare from the location of the liquor establish- <br />ment to the school, it is closer to two miles distance. <br />Under this present situation, I had no alternative but <br />to give you an opinion that the request for zoning re- <br />garding the beverage license application should be <br />granted. <br />GGC,Jr/ph <br />Best regards, <br />GEONGE'G.
