JAN 8 1996 Boa 63 Fc, -E 203 <br />property. Price is not the problem; Mr. Hunt merely wishes to <br />give the oceanfront property to his two sons. Mr. Hunt, however, <br />did not close the door on the possibility of trading his property <br />for a comparable piece of beachfront. With the Board's <br />permission, Commissioner Bird wished to pursue finding a <br />comparable piece of property to trade with Mr. Hunt, because the <br />State has indicated that that they might buy an appropriate <br />parcel to trade with Mr. Hunt. If a trade cannot be negotiated, <br />we might have to consider taking the property by condemnation <br />-.- through eminent domain proceedings. <br />Continuing, Commissioner reported that on their recent trip <br />to Tallahassee, he and Attorney Barkett found that the Governor <br />and Cabinets have approved the purchase of the Number 11 Corp <br />property, which is 565 feet of additional oceanfront, for a <br />little in excess of $890,000. The Pfeifer property has been <br />dropped from the list. The State is very actively negotiating <br />for the Sirk property, but the seller wishes to sell the river <br />side of the tract along with the ocean frontage. The State has <br />asked us to consider finding a buyer for the western portion, and <br />if we can, they will purchase the oceanfront tract. Commissioner <br />Bird believed the adjacent property owner might have some <br />interest in acquiring the river portion and suggested he talk <br />with him about that possibility. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />authorized Commissioner Bird to find a suitable <br />piece of property to trade for the Howell & Chapman <br />property and to negotiate with the adjacent owner to <br />the Sirk property to buy the river portion of the <br />tract. <br />70 <br />
