-when Earring Point Groves, Inc. will request a zoning change <br />for one parcel from am -6, Multifamily Residential to Agri- <br />cultural; the other from RS -3, Single Family Residential <br />to Agricultural Zoning. <br />Earring Point Groves is exclusively AGRICULTURAL. When <br />the original zoning was established in the 1950's, Earring <br />Point Groves asked that all of their land be zoned agricul- <br />tural. This request was granted. <br />Since then, Earring Point Groves, Inc. has acquired <br />additional groves. The parcel south of the old Winter Beach <br />Bridge Road was in citrus when it was zoned Residential in <br />the 1950's; it is surrounded by citrus groves, planted in the <br />early 1930's, with the Indian River on the East. Other parcel <br />was, in the 1920's, about one-half in citrus and most of the <br />remainder in vegetables. Mr. Sibley was in poor health in the <br />1940's and the grove and field received very little care. When <br />we purchased the property from the Sibley family in 1970, the <br />grove was in very poor condition. <br />We request this change to the past and present use, <br />agriculture, in order not to be a "non -conforming" use. <br />Our family views ourselves as "caretakers of agricultural <br />land for future generations". <br />Sincerely, <br />(AN'Acka.LL <br />Joe W. Michael <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Ordinance 88-23, rezoning 76 acres from RM -6, RS -3 and <br />RS -1 to A-1. <br />39 <br />►JUN 711988 <br />BOOK 72 FRE 5.38 <br />
