MAY2 6pw U Fkf,F POS <br />expand the existing beachfront. Most of the present park area on <br />the west side of SR AlA is environmentally sensitive. The Stanny <br />property has about 4.26 acres on the ocean and 6.31 acres on the <br />west of SR AlA. <br />Attorney Brandenburg noted that Mr. Stanny actually owns all <br />the way over to the island the County already owns. The <br />recommendation of the committee is to purchase the entire portion <br />from the ocean to the island and the asking price for the entire <br />parcel is $800,000. Mr. Stanny reduced his price on the <br />oceanside portion only. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that this works out to about <br />$2,096 a front foot, and Attorney Brandenburg explained that is <br />using the figure for the oceanside portion only; when you add the <br />west side, your per front foot cost goes up, but the price per <br />square foot goes down. <br />Commissioner Wodtke expressed concern about purchasing <br />property that was not actually beachfront, but Attorney <br />Brandenburg explained that because it is contiguous to the ocean <br />piece, there would be no problem. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the depth of the water on the <br />riverside portion.of_the Stanny property, and Community Services <br />Director Thomas stated that it was not very deep, but we would <br />have access to the deeper water where it was dredged. <br />Chairman Bird noted that the current beach frontage of Round <br />Island Park is about 310' and we would be doubling our frontage <br />with this acquisition. He explained that although some other <br />property was offered in this area, this was the only piece <br />contiguous to the park, and the committee did not see any <br />advantage in starting another small park in this area. <br />Administrator Wright reported that St. Lucie County may <br />obtain about 6,000' of beach frontage a half mile or so south of <br />this through the Save Our Coast Program. <br />N. <br />
