DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The subject 1.25 acre parcel, located immediately east of Boxwood Estates subdivision at 14th Street S.W., is zoned RS -6 (Residen- tial Single -Family up to 6 units/acre), and is legally described as follows: ALL THAT PIECE, PARCEL, OR TRACT OF LAND SITUATE, LYING AND BEING IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, MORE PARTICU- LARLY DESCRIBED AS BEING THE SOUTH 1/2 OF THE SOUTHWEST 1/4 OF THE NORTHWEST 1/4 OF TRACT 9 IN SECTION 26, TOWNSHIP 33 SOUTH, RANGE 39 EAST, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT OF LANDS IN INDIAN RIVER FARMS COMPANY AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 2 AT PAGE 25 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA SUBJECT TO THE WEST 30 FEET FOR ROAD EASEMENT, ALSO DESCRIBED AS THE SOUTH 1/2 OF PARCEL 2, TRACT 9, VERO BEACH SUBURBAN ACRES. The parcel is a portion of a "metes and bounds" subdivision known as "Vero Beach Suburban Acres", which is located south of 13th Street S.W., east of 16th Court S.W. In the late '60's and early '70's, the Vero Beach Suburban Acres "developer" executed dozens of contracts for deed. The contracts specified a schedule of payments. Upon completion of the payments, a deed was to be created and recorded, transferring title to the purchaser and establishing a new lot, separate from the "parent" parcel. In effect, the entire Vero Beach Suburban Acres area (total of approximately 160 acres) is being subdivided into 1 and lir acre parcels. Although each tract is "accessed" via a grid system of ingress and egress easements that exist "on paper", no roadways, drainage facilities, or utilities actually exist to serve indi- vidual parcels. At no time has the County approved the lot layout or any aspect of the subdividing that has occurred over the past three years. The County was unaware of the subdividing until a few years ago, when the Tax Appraiser's Parcel Maps began depict- ing parcels "popping up" in the middle of large tracts, far removed from surrounding roads and drainage facilities. Staff has attempted to work with the present owner of.the parent parcels without result. Unbuildable parcels continue to be separated from the parent tract and transferred to individuals. The resulting subdivision is illegal, based upon the following staff findings: 1. lots are created upon the recordation of a deed specifying a particular parcel that is separate from the "parent parcel"; BAR 2 9 1988 22 BOOK FGE 379
