Re: Enos and Ora Lee Mitchell
Lots 2-7, Block 4 & Lots 19-21, Block 1, Hibiscus Park
Dear Mayor and Commissioners;
Land Use & Zoning Law

The purpose of this letter is to request the Board of County Commissioners
sponsor an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), the Zoning Map, and
the Tier Map for the above referenced lots. The FLUM would be amended from
Conservation to RM. The Zoning Map would be amended from Native to IS. And the
Tier Map would be amended from Tier I to Tier III.
Currently, Ordinance 028-2012 states that any private application which
proposes an increase in allocated density or intensity must be designated as Tier III
and have existing public facilities. Additionally any private application shall be
required to purchase and donate land to offset the proposed increase.
Enclosed is the pre-1986 zoning map showing the property was zoned RU-3,
which allowed single family homes on each of the lots. Also attached is a 1958
photograph that shows the lots were filled and disturbed as a result of the
excavation of the canal; a wetland delineation sketch prepared by Curtis Kruer, on
behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers; and County Permit No. C21076 to refill the
lots.
We have been advised that the County did not carefully review the habitat or
site conditions on these specific lots when it rezoned Blocks 1 and 4 to Native,
instead of IS.
It is interesting to note that Enos helped dig the canal soon after he moved
from Arkansas. He later purchased several lots, built a home, and started a family.
The Mitchells operated a successful septic tank business for years until recently,
when a central sewage system was built. The Mitchells are elderly and desperately
need the County's assistance in restoring these lots to buildable status.
Please schedule this matter for consideration by the Board at the very next
meeting.
Sincerely yours,
and ww Alt. J abin, & q.

Dear Steve;
Land Use & Zoning Law

This letter is a follow up to my letter of December 10, and your letter of
December, 2014.
To clarify, my clients are asking the Board of County Commissioners to
consider directing staff to process an amendment to the Future Land Use Map and
the Zoning Map for the above lots at the BOCC meeting in Key Largo on February
18 or 19, 2015.
We believe the BOCC should sponsor the amendment for two reasons. First,
it is unreasonable to require my clients to donate land as a condition of amending
the zoning maps. Second, it is the right thing to do.
Based on historical research, including the attachments (1958 & 1959 Aerial,
1985 Zoning Map, 1986 Existing Conditions Map - Disturbed w. Saltmarsh, 1987
Fill Permit, 2004 Flood Map AE8, it is my belief that a drafting error was made in
1986, when the County zoned the disturbed lots in Block 1 and 4, Native (NA)
instead of URM or Improved Subdivision.
According to § 130-39 the purpose of NA is: "... to establish areas that are
undisturbed with the exception of existing solid waste facilities, and because of
their sensitive environmental character should be preserved in their natural state."
Please confirm that the matter will be added to the agenda for the February
Key Largo, meeting.
Sincerely yours,
ffiubwta At. Jain, &q.
