Wr=ghr: <br />c <br />DEC 1984 <br />RECEIVED <br />Adrainisl'atoes Orn" <br />As agent for Mr. Dan Powell we respectfully request that he be placed' on the <br />next available County Commission Agenda. This request is with regards to <br />the status of a metes and bounds division of 'property established by Mr. <br />Powell in March 1983, located on 4thAvenue S.W. and Algiers Rd, Section <br />25, Township 33 South, Range 39 East, Indian River Co. <br />Prior to affecting the metes and bounds subdivision, as previously stated, <br />Mr. Powell sought our assistance.to accomplish a division of the land in <br />question, by the least costly method. We inturn contacted the County's <br />Planning Department and Legal Staff to ascertain the County's policy <br />regarding the dividing of land fronting on public rights of way. Several <br />conversations with the County's legal staff affirmed that the position <br />of the county, under the existing ordinance of that time, was lots with proper <br />frontage consistant with zoning, on an existing public right of way, could <br />be created and sold by metes and bounds description without going through <br />the subdivision platting process. This policy was due to vague and riot <br />easily enforcable language of the existing ordinance. <br />With this information, Mr. Powell had his property, which has frontage on <br />two public rights of way, divided in 8 lots through metes and bounds ' <br />description and began to sell the parcels in March, 1983. Subsequently the <br />County adopted new Subdivision regulations in July, 1983 which are much more <br />specific about the requirements of the platting process. 11r. Powell still <br />has 5 lots to sell and wishes to have the County Commission confirm that the <br />properties which he had divided by metes and bounds prior to the adoption <br />of the present subdivision regulation is considered "Grandfathered In" with <br />the adoption of the new ordinance. Mr. Powell wishes to be able to sell <br />the remaining lots without,the confusion and disruption to the buyers <br />that will occur in observing the platting requirements which would be <br />imposed under the present regulations. <br />Thank you on behalf of Mr. Powell for your attention to this matter. <br />Should you have any question please contact my office. Please let me <br />know of the time and date when this matter will be on the County Commission <br />Agenda. <br />Sincerely, <br />CARTER ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Dana Howard <br />68 <br />
