0 E C 211983 BOOK PACE An aerial map has been prepared to clearly depict the location of the lots and the current ownership and use of the property. The lots lie primarily in the path of Flamingo Drive and Eagle Drive. The nine lots colored in yellow with blue diagonal stripes are currently owned by the City of Vero Beach. The ten lots colored in yellow with red diagonal stripes are owned by the County, but are currently being used or will be needed by Vero Beach for road and/or utility purposes. The ten yellow lots that have a single green stripe down the center are owned by the County. There are underground utilities on these lots, but they could be sold to adjacent property owners subject to the retention of proper easements. The County sold one such lot'in 1979 to Anthony J. Bianco. A copy of the transaction is available from Ms. Forlani. The six lots colored in orange are owned by the County -and could be sold to the public as buildable lots. County Attorney Brandenburg suggests the proper proce- dure for disposal of the 35 lots is for the County to assign its interest in nineteen lots to the City. The City, in turn, would assign its interest in sixteen lots to the County. Mr. Brandenburg can explain the precise legal requirements of the proposed transactions. Many of the lots that would be owned by the City of Vero Beach are being used as road rights of way. The remaining lots will become road rights of way and all lots have utility easements. The City will undoubtedly retain ownership of all the lots. The County, on the other hand, can dispose of all sixteen of its lots, place the property on the tax rolls and the sale proceeds into its land acquisition and improvement account. It the Commission concurs with this proposal, I recommend the staff be authorized to prepare the necessary documents for Commission action. If you require additional information, please contact Tommy Thomas or me at your convenience. . Administrator Wright referred to a map on the wall showing approximately 30 lots on the beach, and explained that the City of Vero Beach and the County wound up owning some of these as a result of tax foreclosures back in the 1940s. In order to dispose of them, we have to assign our interest to the ones that the City will retain, and the City will do likewise with the ones the County will retain. He noted that the.majority of the City properties all have either utility easements or roads down the middle of them. The County might end up with 8 or 10 lots that could be sold to adjacent � property owners,. and there are possibly 5 or 6 = 45
