r- <br />BOOK 108 FAA70 <br />Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the matter for the Board and stated that the <br />two parties involved in the matter were present and would like to speak. <br />Michael O'Haire, 575 Highway AIA, explained the he had built his home and the <br />road in 1968 and has lived there ever since. He believed that the road is pretty much where <br />it has always been, but had never had it surveyed until the time of this application. His son <br />now wants to build a home on the property and he had informed Mr. Krovocheck that a home <br />would be built. He felt that the bottom line is that the County and the public have no interest <br />in the location of his road. The road is only 1/4 mile long and cannot have varied by much <br />as this was originally pasture land for horses. There are no other houses on the east bank of <br />the river. Possibly when the pasture was eliminated, the alignment of the road may have <br />changed somewhat and it was moved after Hurricane David, because of a dead banyan tree. <br />Mr. Krovocheck put a water meter on the side of the property and also keeps sprinklers <br />going, watering the road. Mr. Krovocheck has also already split his property. <br />Jack Krovocheck, 565 Highway AIA, owns the property abutting O'Haire's on the <br />south side. His concern was how Mr. O'Haire's development would impact his property. <br />Mr. O'Haire is asking for liberal interpretation of the regulations to avoid adding any type <br />of infrastructure. 5 years ago, Mr. Krovocheck subdivided his property and was required to <br />put in infrastructure and protection to the Indian River from pollutants, obtain the necessary <br />permits and pay of cost of $50,000 per lot. Mr. O'Haire's project will not have any of those <br />expenses if the Board allows this liberal interpretation and he believed it would be an unfair <br />advantage for Mr. O'Haire and would devalue Mr. Krovocheck's property. He asked the <br />Board to prevent any adverse effect to his property and believed that Mr. O'Haire's property <br />does not meet the criteria for the split. He believed the road has been relocated by Mr. <br />O'Haire without the proper permits. Mr. Krovocheck then asked the Board to hear his <br />engineer, Todd Smith. <br />Todd Smith, P.E., 440 11'h Lane SW, believed that exceptions to the regulations <br />should be treated very carefully. He felt that staff is asking for a liberal interpretation while <br />a lot split does away with the Board's control. He requested that the Board approve the 2nd <br />alternative and direct staff to revisit the ordinance if they believe it should be rewritten. <br />JANUARY 19, 1999 <br />-86- <br />i 0 <br />
