Pr— FEB 16 198 BOOK70 FACE 850 Attorney Hendrix advised that he is here today just to put the matter on the table, provide information, and solicit input; anything in terms of a concrete proposal would have to wait for a vote from the membership. Chairman Scurlock believed what he is asking today is some direction from the Commission as to whether we are willing to allow staff to spend some time working with the Country Club on this possibility to see if it could be mutually beneficial. He had no problem with that request and believed possibly there could be some mutual benefits, but his real concern was that we not do anything that in any way would inhibit us moving forward expeditiously with the expansion of the Boulevard. Commissioner Bird stated that if the construction of the "Boulevard does create this enclave, if we do acquire it, if it can be part of our mitigation plan, and if the drainage concerns of Country Club Point can be addressed so that area is not impacted and all the environmental concerns and permits can be handled; then, he would be in favor of pursuing this with the Vero Beach Country Club with the thought that it does not hold up the construction program of the Boulevard. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, to instruct staff to work with the Vero Beach Country Club to investigate the feasibility of their proposal based on the concerns stated above. Commissioner Bowman inquired about a time schedule, and Chairman Scurlock believed that basically Public Works Director Davis would move full ahead with the permitting of the Boulevard, and it would be up to Attorney Hendrix and his group to work with Director Davis to see if something can be presented to the Commission. This could occur either before or after the Boulevard is built. 32
