Commissioners Indian River County Court house Vero Beach, Florida 32960 RE: Request an Appeal of the Variance Board's Decision Dear Commissioners: This letter is to familarize you with the history of this property and what we would like to do with it. On May 7, 1920, Joseph Fink and his wife, Carrie Fink, bought -from Indian River Farms Company .11 and 6 hundredths acres of Tract 11, Section 28, Township 32 South, Range 39 East, as the same is designated on the last general plat of lands of the Indian River Farms Company, filed in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of St. Lucie County, Florida. On January 6, 1958, Carrie Fink, died and left the above described property to Joseph Fink, Jr., her son. It is Joseph Fink, Jr.'s wish to have his entire family live on this property. At the present time Joseph Fink, Jr., his wife Lorene, and their youngest son Robert Sheldon Fink, live in the house that.was built by his father when this property was first bought: His middle son, Johnny Fink, his wife Frances, and their two children live in a seperate house on the same property. Air. Joseph Fink, Jr. has conveyed a portion of said ..property to his eldest son Joseph Charles Fink and his wife, Kathy Fink on which they propose to build a home. This property is discribed as the North 64S feet of the East 12 of the West 11.06 Acres of Tract 11, Section 28, Township 32 South, Range 39 East. Less right-of-way for canal, and subject to a ,drainage easement along the {Vest 10 feet, together with the right of ingress and egress over the East 32 feet of the {Vest h of the West 11.06 Acres of Tract 11, Section 28, Township .32 South, Range 39 least and is the property in question. On November S, 1975, Joseph Fink, Jr. went before the Zoning Board to request a zoning; change -from LA11. to R1. The Zoning Board denied the 'request but 511111gested that a variance 11"Olt be obtained so that an additional honce would be built on the p.roper-t•y. . Dewey Walker, from the Zoning Department, recommended that Joseph Charles Fink appear before the Variance Board to request a variance to build a home. On March 13, 1978 this was done. The Variance Board denied this by a three to one vote. Their reason for this- denial was that they felt it was the Zoning Board's iob to change the zoning.. This property has been in the family .for approximately sixty years and never used for any purpose other than residential. We do not care if the zoning is changed or a variance is granted: All that we are requesting is that we be granted permission to build one additional home on this property so that the entire family may live on this property. Respectfully Submitted, 4 - Mr. $ Mrs. Joseph Charles Fink i song 1 34 PAGE 148 I
