copy. To Whom It May Concern Christopher P. Schlitt 505 66th Avenue Vero Beach, F1. 32968 January 17, 1990 BOOK - l q 9 FADE �e On December 29, 1989, my wife and I purchased a lot in Pinetree Park, Lot 14 Block J Unit 2. The dimensions were 75' x 100'. I bought a print to fit the lot and had it surveyed. I then submitted my plans to the Indian River County Building Department. When I inquired about the septic tank, they asked me to have the lot cleared for the perk test, so I did. On my septic tank and well determined by the heighth of on January 5, 1990, and set and compaction test to January 3, 1990 I picked up permits. Since the fill is my tank, I ordered my fill up for grading, compacting, follow. On January 11,,1990 I was informed by Environmental 4 Health that someone had made a mistake when they t released my permits, and to stop construction. I r talked to Stan Bowling who informed me that the County_ needed 65 feet of my property to allow for the right o\ way for the Thoroughfare Plan. He mentioned that the County would probably have to buy the whole lot. I proceeded to inform Stan that there were several houses built within thes right of way in the past 24 months including one under construction at this present time. I contacted Jim Davis on the matter. He informed .me he was not taking the 65 feet needed, but 25 feet without compensation. When I explained to him that even if e just took 25 feet the.property would be unbuildable. He mentioned a variance to—allow—me=-to-=pu-t--my--septic------ .tank and drain field in the 25 feet. It makes no sense that I would be allowed to use the 25 feet in a variance for my septic tank and drain field if my entire property has to be bought and destroyed along with the other 15 or so houses that are my neighbors on Fourth Street in order to,accomodate the Thoroughfare Plan. I met with Jim Davis on January 14, 1990 and explained to him how long it has taken myAand I to come to this Close to owning our own home, -and how badly this will affect our finacial planning and progress. Although Mr. Davis has been as helpful as possible under the circumstances, I will not settle for less than full compensation of my purchase price and all expenses to this point, or permission to build on the property as I originally planned. I have contacted my attorney concerning this matter and I am prepared if necessary to enter into litigation.
