Harvey’s 2013 land acquisition from Ballin and Fink

What the record says#

• The deed names Marlene Ballin and Sidney Fink as grantors, described as the sole heirs of Blanche Fink, and Glenn C. Harvey as grantee. It is dated May 17 and recorded May 28, 2013.

  PDF page 1

• Page 1 bears handwritten consideration of $2,100,000 and a $14,700 deed documentary-stamp entry. Its operative consideration clause uses $10 and other valuable consideration; these are different fields on the same document.

  PDF page 1

• The description spans portions of Sections 34–35, Township 38 South, and Sections 2–4, Township 39 South, Range 34 East, bounded by State Road 78, the Structure 127 access road and Levee L-48. The later G. Harvey development agreement expressly references this deed’s book/page 307/943 in its exhibit.

• The deed contains title warranties subject to stated recorded matters and current taxes; page 2 carries the grantors’ executions and acknowledgments. These terms do not provide a present title opinion.

How to read this record#

This establishes a documented 2013 conveyance, not an exhaustive ownership chain, the original inception of development or an individual Lakefront home closing. Later road deductions, separate land strips and changed survey calls mean that historical and current acreage should not be equated without a survey.

The consideration is not a statement of Harvey’s net cash outlay or a current land value.

The November 1 follow-up leads folder supplied seventeen candidate PDFs with ninety-three pages. The download log marked identity and relevance pending; local checksum, page-stamp and source-page review retained sixteen instruments with eighty-six pages, including predecessor-land records, and excluded a seven-page SFWMD regional test-well bond from the Lakefront register. The original download log is preserved; normalized extraction indexes were generated locally. Selected Harvey, contractor and Lakefront legal-description searches expand the earlier name-search collection; they are not a complete title or court search. The supplied captures retain an October 28 verification cutoff.

Figures supported by this document#

• Lakefront’s land history includes a May 17, 2013 deed from Marlene Ballin and Sidney Fink to Glenn C. Harvey, recorded May 28. The predecessor Glenn Harvey Planned Development had planning documented by a June 29, 2017 traffic study and county approval in 2020, before the November 2021 developer acquisition. Signed Ordinance 2022-11 renamed and expanded it as Lakefront Estates on January 23, 2023.
• After review of both November 1 additions, the register contains 283 instruments: 282 available PDFs with 1,266 pages and one unavailable judgment represented only by its county index. The later leads folder adds sixteen instruments with eighty-six pages; one seven-page regional test-well bond is excluded from the project register.
• The May 17, 2013 deed from Marlene Ballin and Sidney Fink to Glenn C. Harvey bears handwritten consideration of $2,100,000 and $14,700 in deed documentary stamps; the supplied county index also lists $2,100,000.
