800 G3. PAGE 42 <br />DONATION OF OCEANFRONT PROPERTY (LIERS) <br />Chairman Lyons announced that he had been informed that <br />someone here has just given the County a very fine piece of <br />oceanfront property, and he would very much like to accept it. <br />Commissioner Bird reported that a few months ago he was <br />advised by Jeannette Lier that she and her husband owned a piece <br />of property adjacent to some the County recently acquired through <br />a bond issue for the acquisition of beachfront property, and she <br />wished to know if we would be interested in having their property <br />to add to our park. He continued that he informed her that we <br />would be both ecstatic and overwhelmed. <br />Attorney Vitunac informed the Board that the proposed <br />donation is in warranty deed form and does have some restric- <br />tions; it must be used as public beach without charge and can't <br />be given away to anyone else except for road right-of-way for <br />A -1-A. He stated that this property is worth at least $200,000 <br />and does adjoin one of the existing county parks. A Resolution <br />expressing the County's extreme thanks has been prepared as an <br />emergency item. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed the value on the marketplace is <br />considerably more than $200,000 and felt this is an extremely <br />generous offer by the Liers. <br />The Chairman noted that the Liers have been active in the <br />county as well as in their own community of Orchid, and he asked <br />that they stand up and be recognized so the Board could express <br />their thanks personally. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Resolution 85-139 accepting the Liers <br />generous donation of oceanfront property with <br />heartfelt thanks. <br />42 <br />
