I hereby request that this letter be read at that <br />meeting and that my request for an extension until January 15, 1981 of my <br />currently valid swimming pool permit be placed to a vote. <br />This permit is due to expire sometime this October or November and to finish <br />it before the permit runs out will place me in an extreme financial hardship. <br />I began work on this pool in.April of 1978. Due to a series of poorly timed <br />natural calamities (including but not just limited to the flooding of May, 1979 <br />and the hurricane of September, 1979) the concrete shell was not poured until <br />June this past summer. <br />I was laid -off from Piper this past March 28th after almost 5 years with them. <br />I tried to finish the pool before I started my new job, but it was all I could <br />do to finish the plumbing and excavation work before I had to leave. Being <br />laid -off has really put me under a financial strain. The house went up for <br />sale immediately when I was laid -off but has not sold yet. Supporting a home <br />up here in Ohio and trying to keep up the payments on the Vero Beach home is <br />taxing me greatly even with my wife working full time. On top of that, our <br />oldest daughter just began college. We felt it would be a sin to deny her <br />desire to go to college since she is nearly a straight "A" student. <br />The company I am working for now is shutting down between Christmas and New <br />Year's. We are planning to come down then and pour the deck around the pool, <br />set the tile ourselves (all to minimize the costs to finish -it), and then <br />contract for the plastering. If we'are not able to finish it according to <br />this plan by 1 January, 1981, extension of the permit to 15 January, 1981 <br />would give us the time necessary to have a contractor finish what we were <br />unable to finish, the little that that would be. <br />As a tax paying citizen, I believe 1 have the right to bring this request with <br />my reasons for the request directly to the county commissioners. Normally a <br />request. -such as this, I realize, would go through the Planning and Zoning <br />Department and then the Vero Beach Building Department, but I have been to <br />them so many times already and have had so many problems going that route that <br />I cannot bring myself to prevail upon them again. Hence my request to you. <br />I hope that you can find it in your hearts to grant me this extension until <br />15 January, 1981 because of the extreme hardship I am under. Thank you for <br />your consideration. <br />Very truly yours, r <br />Charles Edward Henkel, Jr.,/ <br />1, <br />cc: Johnny's Pools, 4365 25th Ave., Vero Beach <br />Mrs. Esther Rhymer, Vero Beach Building Department <br />_.
