At the time that the property <br />turas purchased in .1973 it was purchased with the understand- <br />ing'and the purpose of having two separate building -lots. I <br />.,was advised by Mr. Drinkard at that time and by Mr. Robert <br />r Powhatan, who was the salesman on the transaction,- that the <br />property was bought for two building sites and in fact in <br />May of 1972 two complete sets of abstracts from the earliest <br />.:_public records to that date were prepared on the property. <br />-preliminary for dividing the property into two building - <br />sites. The property was divided into two sites when Mr. C. <br />D. Bowles, who was a builder, purchased the property from <br />'Alfred A. Ebert and Gladys E. Ebert, his wife, with the idea <br />of*•building two houses. It did not appear feasible at that <br />Time to do so and consequently the property was.sold to.Mr. <br />Nand Mrs. Drinkard.and closed in July of 1973. <br />"This property is located along Pelican Lane and I am <br />enclosing at this time photocopies of a portion of the Pro- <br />perty Appraiser's current maps which shows that this proper- <br />ty lies southerly of Wyn Cove Subdivision and northerly of. <br />.Smuggler's Cove Subdivision. As a matter of interest, that <br />.lou will note, there are approximately 26 parcels shown on <br />this particular tax map, two of which are large oceanfront <br />'-parcels, leaving.a total of approximately 24 parcels, that <br />18 of the parcels have lots of only 100 .feet on Pelican . <br />=Lane. Another thing that should"be noted is that Wyn Cove., <br />-•and Smuggler's Cove both have private drives and that there <br />is no difference between the three groups of property. <br />When Mr. Drinkard bought this property he was assured, <br />and it was the system of doing things.at the time he pur- <br />chased the property, that he could separate the properties <br />at'any time into two 100 foot building sites without any . <br />problems.. <br />Mr. Drinkard went to the County Administrator's office <br />to see about getting the property divided into two building <br />.sites at my suggestion and at that time he contacted Mr. <br />Jack Jennings, which gave him the indication that there, <br />would be no big problem with the County but the really.tre- <br />mendous problem lay with the State Board of Health. Copse- <br />--quently he made application with the help of Mr. Bob Jennings <br />` . to have the parcel subdivided into two lots, which required <br />a public hearing with the State Board of Health in Jackson- <br />ville and has now been approved after formal hearing. <br />eoo� 25 4A,E 12 <br />
