Brandenburg, County Attorney 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida Re: October 19, 1983 Esquire 32960 P014T OFFICE BOX 21-158 VERO BEACIL. FMRiD'� 32981-2.58" Ennessy Buick -Cadillac, Inc./Luria's Shopping Center Dear Mr. Brandenburg: This letter is to review circumstances and developments concerning the interest of my client, Ennessy Buick -Cadillac, Inc., and the owner of the property immediately south of the Luria's Shopping Center. My clients have an interest in the development of the Luria's Shopping Center and all property adjacent to it. Quite some time ago, my clients took every measure thought reasonable to place the county, all of its employees, its staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission on notice that they wan- ted to be heard on all matters concerning site plan application and approval for the Luria's Shopping Center, the adjoining mobile home section immediately to the north thereof, and the Russell Concrete Road between my clients' property and the Luria's property. In May, my client, Ennessy Buick -Cadillac, Inc, through its President, Mr. Pierce R. Ennessy, personally reviewed and made known its position concerning the Luria's property, with Mr. Bruce King. Basically, my clients wanted to know of any and all developments concerning the construction, approval, site plan approval and development of the above -referenced properties. My clients wanted to be heard and wanted their posi- tions to be known and made a part of any decision concerning development of those properties. Mr. King was aware of these requests and positions,and informed them that they would re- ceive actual and written notice of all matters and hearings to be held and brought before the Planning and Zoning Com- mission -on any site plan application, change or modification. Unbeknownst to my clients,the site plan application was apparently heard and approved on September 8, 1983. Although Mr. Ennessy called the Planning and Zoning Commission staff various times, and requested to be kept informed, and requested notice of all such hearings, he was never notified of the meeting and was therefore not allowed to present his concerns and position nor allowed to protect his company's interest in any manner. My clients have a considerable amount of money in- vested in their property, buildings and overall appearance thereof It is apparent that although they did everything within, reason to place the County on notice and thereafter relied on your em- ployees statements and representations that notice would be given, there never was any apparent input from or contact with, my clients. In other words, the County either ignored or overlooked their substantial concerns, matters, interests and welfare. •,. env 2193 39 " J
