Commissioner Bird reviewed the history on the Howell/Chapman <br />tract, which is a 1500 ft. piece of oceanfront property located <br />between property already purchased by the State and the County. <br />This north beach complex is ranked 8th with the Governor and <br />Cabinet in the Save Our Coasts program and they are actively <br />pursuing the acquisition of these properties. After extensive <br />negotiations with the State, however, owner Jack Hunt has stated <br />he has no intention of selling the tract to the State, the County <br />or anyone else. <br />Commissioner Bird recommended that we put this into the <br />County Attorney's office to determine whether we have the ability <br />to file a condemnation suit on this property and our chances for <br />winning such a suit. This property has an estimated value of <br />$3 -million and since we don't have the money to buy it, we need <br />the money from the State. He wished to have Attorney Vitunac <br />look into what sort of a vehicle is needed to assure us that the <br />money will be available from the State if we are successful in <br />being able to buy the property. <br />11 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously requested <br />the County Attorney to report back to the Board on <br />our ability to file a condemnation suit to acquire <br />the Howell/Chapman tract. <br />DOCUMENTS TO BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD <br />A.
