Mrs. Carolyn Eggert Indian River County Commission Chair 1840 25th Street. Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Mrs. Eggert; September 16. 1997 P��3 KKK 10 1,20 PAGE 5..E I am coming before you and the other County Commissioners because I am frustrated and I need your help. Irregularities in code interpretation have occurred in my neighborhood benefiting our neighbor, Mr. William Jordan, at a great cost to our community. I have been worldng with County Staff for almost one year, who are unable to resolve any of these issues. I. Illegal non -conforming uses are allowed to Mr. Jordan on his property at 10596 US#1 and 105 Place. 2. We, as adjoining and abutting property owners, receive no notification from County Staff with regard to irregular decisions made regarding Mr. Jordan's property. 3. County Staff allows the continued use of illegal non -conforming mobile homes which Mr. Jordan removed and replaced in 1991. 4. The Code Enforcement Board made a decision to allow Commercial Auto Garage operations on Mr. Jordan's property, which had previously been residential and is still zoned R M6. Their decision was based on the written sworn statement of an elderly gentleman whose statements were not true. The Board allowed a new case to be initiated if new evidence were available. We have that evidence. We ask that a new case be initiated. The attached letter tells my story and outlines my arguments as to why we have been damaged as a result of irregularities in land uses allowed to Mr. Jordan. These uses appear to contradict the Land Use Regulations and Comprehensive Plan. I ask for your help in resolving these issues we have had to live with, unresolved for 6 1/2 years. Sincerely Connie Gates. Mrs. Carolyn Eggert Indian River County Commission Chair 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Mrs. Eggert; I have owned my property at 105 Place since 1986. This is a residential community of primarily senior citizens and older mobile homes.
