RESOLUTION NO. /2--79
WHEREAS, on September 8, 1971, the Board of County
Commissioners of Indian River County passed a new Zoning Ordinance
for Indian River County, and
WHEREAS, the minimum lot size is 7, 000 square feet and
the minimum lot width is 70 feet for new residences in said ordinance,
and
WHEREAS, there are hundreds of property owners in Indian
River County who own lots in platted subdivisions which do not meet
the minimum standards for lot size and lot width, and
WHEREAS, these property owners have expressed a fear that
their lots may not be developed because of the lot size and lot width
requirements, and
WHEREAS, many rumors are circulating and there has been
much speculation about the requirements for septic tank permits, the
size of houses that can be built and the required lot sizes and widths,
and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners desires to
quell the rumors and speculation,
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED by the Board of County
Commissioners of Indian River County:
1. That notice is given that said Board does not establish
the minimum requirements for issuance of septic tank permits nor
does it issue septic tank permits. That the issuance of septic tank
permits is a function of the State of Florida and is administered by
the State of Florida through the Division of Health. That any inquiries
or grievances concerning septic tank permits should be directed to
the Division of Health.

"Any lot of record at the time of the adoption of this
ordinance which contains less lot area or width than
required in the district in which it is located may be
® used for a use permitted in such district. This pro-
vision shall not be construed to permit more than one
dwelling unit on a lot with less lot area per family
than required for the district in which such lot is
located.:
That it was the intent of the Board of County Commissioners in passing
said paragraph to allow the construction of at least one residence on
all nonconforming undersized lots that were of record (Platted Sub-
divisions) on September 8, 1971, and that the policy of the Board is in
conformity with that intent.
3. That the Tax Assessor, Tax Collector, Clerk of Court and
County Administrator be provided with sufficient copies of this Resolution
so that copies may be furnished to inquiring property owners.
