MAY 18 1983 <br />Brant, and Rene Van de Voorde to the <br />Parks and Recreation Committee as listed <br />above. <br />REPORT ON "SAVE OUR COAST" PROGRAM <br />Chairman Bird informed the Board that the Beach <br />Acquisition Committee needs some guidance from the <br />Commission. He reported that after publicizing as widely as <br />possible our interest in acquiring beachfront property, <br />about 30 pieces were submitted for consideration. The <br />committee, after analyzing all these on a comparable basis - <br />price per front foot, certain characteristics, any unique <br />features, etc. - and making a physical inspection of all <br />properties, went into negotiation on about 11 parcels and <br />are now at the point where they will meet tomorrow with the <br />final results of negotiations. They now need to know <br />whether the Commission wishes them to forward information on <br />all the 9 negotiated parcels or whether they wish the <br />committee to try to condense this list even further. <br />Chairman Bird continued that one factor still in the <br />gray area is the "Save Our Coast" Program. Although we <br />finally have made the list of properties that are being <br />submitted to the Governor for consideration, the problem is <br />to get the State appraisals of the Gordon Nutt property, <br />which is located south of Wabasso Beach Park, reviewed in <br />time to make the agenda of the Governor's June 9th meeting. <br />Mr. Nutt is becoming somewhat impatient for decision, and <br />although the Chairman felt it is a long shot to get it on <br />that agenda, he stated that every effort will be made. <br />Chairman Bird noted that we have been encouraged by the <br />Department of Natural Resources to submit additional parcels <br />to the "Save Our Coast" Program. The problem, however, is <br />that this is such a time consuming process, we need to <br />decide whether we might not be better off to move ahead and <br />87 <br />
