Public Works Director to make arrangements with the City <br />of Vero Beach Electric Department to extend the Indian <br />th <br />River Boulevard street light system between 37 Street and <br />th <br />45 Street, as recommended by staff. <br /> <br />11.I.2. BARBER STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY – POO-SEN CHU AND <br />KUEI-YING CHU – RELEASE CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE <br /> Public Works Director Jim Davis reviewed the background of this proposed right-of-way <br />purchase involved in the Barber Street widening project wherein the County is acting on behalf of <br />the City of Sebastian to collect traffic impact fees. This lot is in the middle of the block and was <br />originally listed at $30,000. We have now been informed that the asking price is $50,000. <br /> Commissioner Lowther questioned the status of the other lots involved, and Director Davis <br />stated that the County owns 3 lots to the west and 2 to the east of this particular lot. <br /> In response to further questioning, Director Davis noted that we only need 25 to 30 feet of <br />each lot to make the road improvements but there are restrictions which prevent us from buying <br />partial lots. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding additional lots still to be purchased and Director Davis <br />explained that the City of Sebastian Building and Zoning Code would declare the balance of the lots <br />unbuildable if the County only purchased the required 25 to 30 feet. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, <br />SECONDED by Chairman Ginn, to direct staff to explore <br />the possible purchase of only the required portions of the <br />remaining lots and to approve the purchase of the Chu lot <br />at a price of $50,000. <br /> <br />JUNE 15, 2004 14 <br /> <br />
