Glenn Schroeder of Fleming Grant Road informed the Board <br />that he owns Lot 17 of A.A.Berry Subdivision, and he felt if the <br />Board abandons this as requested, it will hinder his future <br />plans. His property is the piece directly adjacent and east of <br />the dump, and his present access is a narrow dirt path. <br />Fred Mensing of 129th St., Roseland, came before the Board <br />to speak of potential future industrial development in the area <br />and the importance of access. He noted that some ofthelots in <br />this area are very deep lots and there are some owners who would <br />like to subdivide. He further stated that he is involved with <br />people who are dealing with General Development Corp, on a large <br />piece of property in this area (possibly 50 acres) zoned industrial, <br />which they are offering at $40,000 an acre. Mr. Mensing stated <br />that the access to this property is from uncompleted Gibson'St., <br />for which there is an 100' R/W, and from 79th or 80th -Avenue to <br />Roseland Road, there is a 50' R/W. These streets were platted by <br />Florida Land Development Company in about 1913 when this was -St. <br />Lucie County, and it is quite confusing. Mr. Mensing went on to <br />discuss the possibility of the County trading off the railroad <br />crossing at Bay Street or Old Dixie for one in this area or <br />building a bridge to cross the railroad which Director Davis <br />estimated would cost from $70-90,000. He also brought up the <br />possibility of Gibson St. being a one-way street, and urged the <br />county to retain what has been there since 1913 unless they sell <br />it at its fair market value. Mr. Mensing felt the right-of-way <br />requested was something around 6001, not 295' and would give the <br />petitioner close to an acre of land at $40,000 an acre. <br />Jack Davis, commercial real estate consultant, came before <br />the Board representing the petitioner, Standish Crippen, Jr. He <br />explained that their feeling initially was that the road had not <br />been used and had no foreseeable use. Therefore, they applied <br />for the abandonment since they do want a railroad siding. Mr. <br />Davis noted they had talked to staff about access at Gibson St., <br />�" 81 <br />SEP <br />nu 65 V'D'U. 9l6 <br />
