I have two 2.5 acre parcels of undeveloped land in Volusia County, Florida for $6,000 each. They are 30 minutes south of Daytona Beach, between I-95 and US 1.  I have several posts about this property, but this one contains all the info and links in one place.  The properties can be seen from I-95, Lot 327 Section E and Lot 336 Section G are near Maytown Road (which is shown on some maps as Halifax Road), and shown here on this map in yellow.  The lots are land locked, so you would go through the process to apply for an easement to gain access and for use.  Adjoining neighbors have locks on the gates of the access roads.   The below is all the info I have on the property.

Parcel 8447-02-05-3270 and Parcel 8447-02-07-3360

My friend Tod McNeal emailed Zoning and here are their emails:

Greetings John,  Thank you so much for sending these links and information so quickly! Also want to thank you for educating me regards the term borrow pit (correct) vs burrow pit (incorrect), which one lot seems to abut as per the aerial map Andrea posted.

Secondly, I want to thank you for educating me that the word “vested” is equivalent to “grandfathered” layman’s language.

During our phone conversation, I mentioned that the aerial views seemed to indicate that there is no platted access to either lot from the existing road.  You indicated that that is not uncommon in Volusia County pertaining to rural lots and that to become a useable lot one would have to be deeded an easement as an essential element towards using the lots for building purposes in the future.

Also required, though still murky to me, is either some sort of proof (via a title company) that the lots are non conforming (as per some date, which I believe to be 1980 or 1981, where undersized, non-adjoining lots may be ‘vested’) regards the requirements respectively to have either 10 acres or 20 acres for buildability within the agricultural zoning classification.

John, I am wondering if a potential purchaser of either of these lots might be allowed to fence them to keep their horses or cows on but not build a house or other structure?

I guess broader question would be: What possible uses are allowed under the current zoning IF the issue of access can be resolved?

Thank you very much and happy holidays,
Tod

Per the above referenced parcels, they both appear to be nonconforming lots.  A nonconforming lot letter guide is attached that you may present to a Florida title company.  They will do research to see if the lots are vested at the current size or if they are not eligible for building permits.

For the zoning, please note the following:
Parcel 8447-02-07-3360: Forestry Resource (FR), 20 acres required
Parcel 8447-02-05-3270: Prime Agriculture (A-1), 10 acres required

Please demonstrate that both parcels have legal and physical access to the properties.

 The lots are land locked, so you would go through  the process to apply for an easement to gain access and for use.

 If you’re interested in purchasing these lots, email Andrea at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com.
