Director Davis advised the status of the roads in that area and warned that paying <br />over $300,000 per acre for cleared pastureland would set a precedent for future land purchases. <br />The School Board had recently spent $95,000 per acre therefore $100,000 per acre for this <br />property could be justified. He asked whether the Board wanted to pay pre-development prices for <br />the land or platted lot prices. This property has not yet been platted. <br />County Administrator Baird stressed the importance of this decision regarding <br />setting a precedent for purchasing property in the future. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Neuberger, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation. (Deny the Developer’s Agreement) <br /> <br />th <br />Mark Brackett, <br /> 1915 34 Avenue, thought he had his preliminary PD (planned <br />development) approval. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that both preliminary and <br />conceptual PD approval had been given. Mr. Brackett now needs a land development permit and <br />before he can get that, he needs to satisfy conditions that would be covered in the Developer’s <br />Agreement. <br />Mr. Brackett <br /> advised that the issues with Sebastian River Drainage District have <br />been resolved. He recounted the discussion when the Board gave their prior approval concerning <br />this property and the County’s possible purchase of the lots; the development of those lots was <br />contingent on the Developer’s Agreement. His original design was not changed. He had agreed to <br />not sell the lots because the County might need to buy them in the future for widening CR 510. He <br />had submitted an offer to the County to purchase the lots approximately a year ago and claimed <br />that in 8 months the County made no counter offer until about 8 weeks ago. <br />County Administrator Baird took issue with Mr. Brackett’s last statement saying <br />Mr. Brackett <br />that he had been in negotiation meetings with Mr. Brackett but held to his statement. <br />December 6, 2005 33 <br /> <br />
