MAY 11990 JO BOCK 79 PGE Attorney Albrecht pointed out Parcels 1, 2 and 3, and noted that on the Sun Acres addition there is a dotted area that says "private road for use of Sun Acres property owners", and then below that it says, "not included". Right up from there is 12th Street and the major drainage canal, and right across the street from there is the Vero Beach Elementary School. This plat was platted in 1960 and those lines were on there. When the plat was dedicated and accepted by the County, the description was never in it. In 1962 there was a replat of one of the lots and that area was denoted, but again not included in the plat. In 1965 Frank Zorc took this parcel, and in the area between the last lot in Sun Acres addition, which is lot #7, and the easement, he simply sold off lots by metes and bounds and built homes. This was prior to the County's subdivision ordinance. In 1962 Colonel and Mrs. Tibbits purchased lot #1 and about two years later, the Zorc's sold the Tibbets lot #2. After Col. Tibbets passed away, Mrs. Tibbets sold lot #2 to her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Lee Hudgins, who now want to build a house there. One option for access would be to culvert and come across by the Vero Beach Elementary School, but that would be very expensive and very dangerous. Subsequently, Gwen Zorc and Frank Zorc deeded the property to the Hudgins because the road is not there, it has never been used, and it has never been accepted by the County. The first deed to the County in 1965 was deeded "to the public", but the only public that could be is the public in the unincorporated area of Indian"River County. By abandoning this road, the County is really disclaiming it, and it will allow the Hudgins to use the access out on to 11th Place instead of having to pursue a permit to come across from the school. Vice Chairman opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing. 34
