Re: Louis Halpern . Owner of Lots 4, 5 and 6
Block 220, First Addition to the City
of Okeechobee
Dear Mr. Dunham:
I am attorney for Mr. Louis Halpern, the owner of
the above described property. I have before me a carbon
copy of your letter dated March 29, 1956, addressed to
Mrs. Lorena Spivey, City Clerk of Okeechobee, Florida.
In view of the Board of Adjustment's feeling that
if an application were filed stating a specific use that the
applicant desired placed on the property, the request
should then be granted, even though there is no apparent
authority in the ordinance for Fronting such request, I have
been instructed by my client to request a usage of the
property for a filling station-motel combination.
Prior to the enactment of the ordinance, the property
owned by Mr. Halpern was "Commercial" and I believe you
and your Board will agree that its primary usage continues
to remain commercial in character.
I would therefore appreciate your Board's granting
Mr. fla1perns request and advising at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

OKEECHOBEE, FLA.
March 29, 1956
Dear Mrs. Spivey:
Pursuant to the request filed by Mr. Louis Halpern to
place a non - conforming use in an area zoned for residential
purposes only, the Board of Adjustments met on March 29,
1956, to consider same.
Under the zoning ordinance, as recently adopted by the City
Council of Okeechobee, this ordinance allows extensions on
buildings that were of a non - conforming use within six months
of the passage of the act, provided application is made to
extend such non-conforming use. There is nothing in the
ordinance which will allow a non - conforming use to be placed
on property within the sixmonth period, when at the time of
the passage of the act, the property was not being used for
any non - conforming purpose.
The Board of Adjustments, in all fairness to those filing;
application, felt that if an application was filed within
six months of the passage of the act stating a specific use
that the applicant desired placed on the property, the re-
quest should then be granted, even though there is no appar-
ent authority in the ordinance for granting such request.
Accordingly, if Mr. Halpern will advise either the Clerk of
the City of Okeechobee, or the Board of Adjustments of the
specific use intended, the Board of Adjustments will take
same under advisement.
Very truly yours,
Audley %unham, Chairman
Board of Adjustment

First Addition to the City of Okeechobee, Florida,
I have before me a copy of the recently enacted

been zoned for residential use only. Mr. Halpern's pro-
perty is located on South Parrott Avenue and immediately

mercial usage. Please be so kind as to advise of the time

Re: Louis Halpern - Owner of

Dear Mr, Durrance:
This is to edvise that I represent Louis Halpern
of l-aim beach, Florida, tne owner of the ebovedescrIbed property
in the Gity of Okeechobee, Florida.
On August 9, 1955, in snswer to an inquiry by my
client, your City Clerk Lorena 41vey, wrote r. halpern as
follows:
"At present there is no zoning ordinencein
the City of Okeechobee, therefore lots 4, 5
and 6, block 220, First Addition to the City
of Okeechobee located on ;outh Parrott Avenue,
may be used as a buoinees location previded
buildine permit application meets the pproved
specifications of the City Council."
Recently, Mr. Halpern received a hand-wrftten note
from your City Clerk pointing out that as of November 21,
1955, the above-described property has been re-zoned for
strictly residential-one family residences only. Mr. Halpern
advises me that he received no notice whatsoever of eny hearing,
which might have been held by the City Council of the City of
Okeechobee, or any Zoninc Board under its jurisdiction, and feels
thet the re-zoning of his property, which was previously zoned
for commercial purposes, is tantamount to the deprivation of
property without due process, contrary to the Constitution of
the State of Florida and of the United fAetes of Anerica.
I am writing you at this time and formally requesting
that appropriate action be taken by the Gity Council or Zoning
Board of the City of Okeechobee to reinstate Mr. Halpern's
property to its previous zoning category, and beg to advise that
if this cannot be accomplished within a reasonable length of
time, suitable proceedtngs will be taken in Court to enforce Mr.
Halpern's righ.
