Alternative 4 1 Comemuiicate with Ed Ansin, owner of the 76.93 acres at the riortheast 4 a-` corner of. 20th ° Avenue and Oslo Road, regarding the sale. of the �11 `26Y °' r'� property at the 'appraised value. Once a tentative ccntract`'for sale 41 is negotiated, staff would present. the contract to the Board for _ approval. Funding would be recommended at that time., probably from the. sale of the North Tracking Station Property, 5th Street SW property, or other funding as reconanended by staff. Approximately $154,000 is currently available in the Park Land Trust Fund for purchase of park property. It is possible that Mr. Ansin would agree to a sale contract whereby the county could purchase the property in two phases. The County Attorney's Office has indicated that this would be possible. The County would have a difficult time funding full development of the 76.93 acre site unless it were developed in stages. Alternative # 2 Delay canmmication with Mr. Ansin until. the appraisal of the North Tracking Station Property is complete.(approx. 2 weeks). This is not recommended since it is not certain that this property would be sold to purchase the Oslo Road/20th Avenue site. AND FUNDING It is recommended that Alternative 1 be approved and that the County staff begin negotiations with Mr. Ansin on a contract to purchase the 76.93 acre tract at Oslo road and 20th Avenue. No funding recommendation is applic- able at this time. l (Public Works Director Jim,,Davis advised that since the appraisals are completed on the property proposed for the County's South Regional Park,and since there is some uncertainty as to the desire of selling the North Tracking Station property, staff feels we should not wait for the appraisal on that property before beginning to communicate with Mr. Ansin to determine his willingness to sell. If he is willing to sell, staff recommends that 'we begin negotiating a contract and bring it back to the Board for approval and funding recommendations. (Chairman Scurlock noted that a possible funding source may be the franchise revenues received from the City of Vero Beach. Those revenues were anticipated month they came in at $70,000.
