ATTORNEY THURLOW INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY DID FILE A <br />LETTER SOME TIME AGO SAYING THEY WERE WITHDRAWING THEIR PORTION OF THE <br />PLAT OF ENOS FROM THE DEDICATION MADE IN 1889. HE NOTED THAT THE WASON <br />FAMILY HAS HAD TITLE TO THEIR PROPERTY SINCE 1944 AND IN THE WARRANTY <br />DEED RECORDED TO MR. WASON IN 19441 NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE PLAT OF <br />ENOS, AND THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD AS A GOVERNMENT LOT, ATTORNEY THURLOW <br />CONTINUED THAT THEY FEEL SURE THAT THEIR TITLE IS 100% MARKETABLE UNDER <br />THE FLORIDA MARKETABLE TITLE ACT, BUT BY REASON OF THE FACT THAT THIS <br />OLD PLAT IS STILL ON THE RECORD BOOKS IN BREVARD COUNTY AND ALSO ST. <br />LUCIE COUNTY, IT CASTS A CLOUD ON THE TITLE. RATHER THAN GO TO A TIME <br />CONSUMING QUIET TITLE SUIT, THEY HAVE COME TO THE BOARD TO VACATE THE <br />PLAT. ATTORNEY THURLOW INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MR. SCHLITT, WHO IS THE <br />CONTRACT PURCHASER AND TRUSTEE FOR THE BUYER, IS WILLING TO DONATE TO <br />THE COUNTY A STRIP OF LAND 70' IN WIDTH EXTENDING FROM AIA TO THE OCEAN, <br />HIS CLIENTS ARE ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION OF ABANDONMENT AND WILL BE <br />WILLING TO CONDITION IT UPON THE GRANTING OF THE 70' TO THE COUNTY. <br />THIS WHOLE MATTER IS CONDITIONED UPON A DEAL CLOSING. IF THE RESOLUTION <br />IS ADOPTED, HIS CLIENTS WILL FULFILL THEIR CONTRACT WITH MR. SCHLITT <br />AND CONVEY THE PROPERTY TO HIM, AND MR. SCHLITT IMMEDIATELY WILL GIVE <br />A CONVEYANCE TO THE COUNTY. <br />MR. SCHLITT CONFIRMED ATTORNEY THURLOW'S STATEMENT. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED WHAT THEIR CLIENT'S OBJECTION WAS TO <br />CONVEYING THE STRIP PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, AND ATTORNEY THURLOW STATED <br />THEY WANTED TO BE SURE THEY HAD A DEAL BEFORE THEY MADE A CONVEYANCE. <br />DISCUSSION AROSE ABOUT HAVING THE CONVEYANCE OF THE 70' STRIP <br />BEING MADE SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND IT WAS FELT THIS COULD BE RESOLVED. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS QUESTIONED THE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF <br />THE 70' STRIP. <br />ATTORNEY THURLOW FELT IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE TO CONVEY THE <br />SOUTH 70' OF GOVERNMENT LOT 1, AND MR, SCHLITT STATED THAT THE PURCHASERS <br />OF THE PROPERTY ARE HAVING SOME STUDIES MADE AND THE STRIP WOULD <br />DEFINITELY BE EITHER AT THE NORTH OR SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY, RATHER <br />THAN IN THE MIDDLE. HE DID NOT FEEL IT MADE A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE <br />FROM THE COUNTY'S STANDPOINT. <br />
