of the existing bulkhead lines as have heretofore been established as above <br />set forth and does herewith find and determine that all of the bulkhead lines <br />so established are in accordance with the bulkhead line criteria adopted by the <br />Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida and are <br />adequate and proper to protect the public interest and the adjacent or nearby <br />upland owners' property and the generaheconomy of the county with the follow- <br />ing exceptions: <br />(a) The bulkhead line change made by the Resolution of this <br />Board adopted September 6, 1962, affecting the area of this County in Sections <br />28 and 33, Township 30 South, Range 39 East, is, in the judgment and opinion <br />of this Board, established too far offshore.

This Board intends to pursue its efforts in this regard and <br />has received an offer of one of the upland owners, Robert P.

With respect to the areas described in subparagraphs (a) and <br />(b) of Paragraph 1 above, this Board does recommend that the Trustees of the <br />Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida offer to accept a conveyance <br />from the upland owners of the previously purchased submerged lands by paying <br />DEC 41968 -2- fJ°° NAri <br />Smith, Heath, Smith & O'Haire, Attorneys At Law, P.
