Dear Mrs. Longaker:
In re: SRD No. 42.
December 13, 1956
The purpose of this letter is to confirm my conversation with
you on Tuesday on inspection of your property.
You are advised that in connection with the items set forthin the
County's letter to you of November 1st concerning the moving of
your house, that the County understands that this moving involves
the following:
1. The County will fill a rear yard area to'the same height and
elevation as your present rear yard area.
2. In the course of the moving, the County will set the house back
to thv West approximately 25 feet and will clear and fill an add-
itional rear yard area of approximately 25 feet so that when your
house is moved back, the elevation of the land on which the house
is placed and the elevation of the rear yard area will be the same as
the elevation of the property where the house and rear yard is pre-
sently located.
3. Your row of palm trees are in the new right of way and they will
be taken out in the course of the road construction. Your two mag-
nolia buses are in the area of the new right of way and the County
will take them up and replant them. As we discussed, they are rather
old and it may be impossible to successfully transplant them, but
we will do our best.
Would you now please promptly sign the deed with two witnesses and a
notary and return it to me?
Sincerely yours,
Sherman N. Smith, Jr.

determined that it will be necessary to replace ;your septic tank
and it will be necessary to drill a new well, so the County will

would be in having these two items done and let you take care of
them.
