The following Petition was received from Merrill P. Barber. To: Board of County Commissioners Indian River County, Florida County Courthouse Vero Beach, Florida Gentlemen: In re: Section 58070-2102 State Road AIA, Indian River County. No doubt you recall and your minutes will show that in 1954 and again in 1956, the Board of County Commissioners officially went on record as agreeing to abandon the parts of State Road AlA not in the new right of way as to that part which approximately parallels the present right of way. This abandonment was to be done when new AlA was finished. Both the contractor on the job and the State Road Department have.agreed that this abandonment can be done now as to that part of the right of way in the City Limits of the City of Vero Beach. I am one of the property owners in this area and several of these property owners hope and expect to shortly make improvements which necessitate the abandonment now of the old right of way. I understand that the State Road Department has officially discalaimed this section of the Old Road to the County. I'therefore request that this Board now vacate, abolish, abandon and discontinue as a public road all that part of the right of way of the former State Road AIA, sometimes known as Ocean Drive from the North line of Bethel by the Sea Unit No. 2 Subdivision, according to plat recorded in Plat Book 3, page 32; in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Indian River County, Florida, and extending in a Northerly direction to the North line of Lot 8 of I.D. Jandreau°s Subdivision, according to plat recorded in Plat Book 3, page 41, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of St. Lucie County, Florida, the same being now situated in the City of Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida.
