13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS <br />A. UNCONDITIONAL OFFER FOR PARCEL OF PROPERTY OWNED BY <br />MATTHEW AND HILDA HARBOURT 3675 66'H AVENUE, VERO <br />BEACH <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Commissioner Solari's Matters, <br />Item 14.E. Attorney DeBraal rejoined the Meeting at 1:20 p.m.) <br />Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal updated the Board on the subject <br />property and presented staff's recommendation for the Board to approve an unconditional offer <br />to purchase the necessary right-of-way from Mr. & Mrs. Harbourt at a price of $314,870.00, and <br />an unconditional offer to purchase the entire parcel for $603,750.00. <br />Attorney DeBraal responded to questions from the Board regarding the closeness <br />of the 3 -acre parcel to the corner of the house; the necessity for partial versus full take; what <br />would be done with the grove if we take the whole parcel; the usability of the property in light of <br />the take; and whether the owners have a preference for full versus partial take. <br />Commissioner Solari suggested that language be added to the recommendation <br />offering the option of other negotiations if the other party is interested. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan's idea was for us to buy the top square of the parcel, <br />where the yard is, and the remainder of the grove stays with the western parcel. <br />Attorney DeBraal said that was one possibility and another would be to give them <br />ingress/egress off of 37th Street, rather than 66th Avenue. <br />January 20, 2009 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED <br />by Vice Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously <br />21 <br />
