PUBLIC HEARING – PURCHASE OF THE DIAMOND TRACT <br />– ORCA SOUTH SITE UNDER THE COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENTAL LANDS PROGRAM (LAAC) – JCL <br />INVESTMENTS GROUP, INC. - FLORIDA COMMUNITIES <br />TRUST (FCT) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Environmental Chief Roland DeBlois stated this is a proposal to purchase the <br />Diamond Tract – ORCA South Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC) site with land <br />acquisition bond funds through Florida Community Trust (FCT). The estimated expenditure will <br />be approximately 1.4 million dollars. Staff supports the LAAC’s recommendation (11-4) for the <br />Board to approve the purchase and direct staff to apply for an FCT Grant in the Spring of 2006 for <br />a 50% reimbursement. Four members of the LAAC voted against the purchase because they felt <br />the purchase price was too high for wetlands. Although this property is mostly wetlands, staff sees <br />the possibility for building on the western portion. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br />November 15, 2005 17 <br /> <br />
