Chairman Eggert wondered whether some relief could be granted <br />Mr. Smith by treating the two parcels as though they were one. <br />Director Pinto cautioned that you have to be very cautious <br />with independent parcels even though they have the same owner, <br />because they can be sold separately. <br />Commissioner Macht thought the Board should give Mr. Smith <br />some relief. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed to <br />use the 150 -foot rule on Mr. Smith's property, <br />measuring the length of the property from east to <br />west. <br />Jerry Carlson, 2900 First Lane, came before the Board and <br />announced that his original assessment was over $20,000 because he <br />was assessed for the north and south ends of his property. He <br />stated that the north end was eliminated from the assessment, <br />reducing his assessment to about $11,000. However, he noted that <br />there is an easement at the south end of his property. In order to <br />have sufficient frontage to develop his property, he thought he <br />probably would have to purchase land near Citrus School from the <br />School Board. He added that the area is low-lying and might be <br />considered wetlands. <br />Chairman Eggert asked Mr. Carlson to describe the area that <br />appeared to have a lake on it, and Mr. Carlson confirmed that it is <br />a man-made lake with fish and turtles in it. To the south of the <br />lake is low-lying, frequently flooded land. <br />There was discussion regarding the ability of Mr. Carlson to <br />develop his property, and Director Pinto commented that Mr. Carlson <br />is being assessed only for two acres of his total 9.77 acres. <br />Attorney Vitunac emphasized that the issue is whether Mr. <br />Carlson receives utility service from 29th Avenue, but Mr. <br />Carlson's position is that the 29th Avenue access is of no use to <br />him because of the 30 -foot easement. <br />Commissioner Bird asked, and Director Keating confirmed that <br />even with the easement there is sufficient land to build one house <br />on the south two acres in the cul-de-sac at the end of 29th Avenue. <br />Discussion ensued, and Attorney Vitunac advised that Mr. <br />Carlson was being assessed for two acres starting from the southern <br />boundary line of his property and 29th Avenue and to the west. <br />04FA <br />�� o 1992 BOOK PA E & <br />
