Attorney Vitunac could not say. The federal government's <br />theory is that they want to expand parks and recreation oppor- <br />tunities, and if you are taking out something that had this <br />restriction on it, you cannot put it back on something that does <br />not actually replace it. <br />Administrator Balczun_felt that the overlying philosophy is <br />that the federal government and/or the State, or through the <br />State, provided us with money to buy lands to expand recreational <br />____opportunities. They provided the money on the theory that you <br />would not have otherwise purchased the land, and that is the rub <br />in this case. They could turn around and ask what other purpose <br />would we have bought this other property. <br />Attorney Vitunac referred to the following letter dated <br />11/5/86 concerning replacement of recreation properties: <br />State of Florida <br />: 43/ <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />DR.

The Land and Water <br />Conservation Fund Manual information which we sent with our August <br />14, 1986 letter was apparently too general and subject to <br />misinterpretation. We regret not providing more specific details. <br />APR 51988 <br />45 <br />!QM 71 Face 475 <br />
