PROPOSED AGREEMENT W/DNR TO VACATE DEED RESTRICTIONS AT SEBASTIAN INLET PARK Commissioner Bird reviewed his letter to the DNR and memo from Assistant County Attorney Brennan: Telephone: (305) 567-8000 October 17, 1988 BOARD OF .COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Mr. Tom Gardner Executive Director Department of Natural Resources - State of Florida Marjory Stoneman Douglas Building 3900 Commonwealth Blvd. Tallahassee, FL 32399 RE: SEBASTIAN INLET PARK - ENTRANCE FEES Dear Mr. Gardner: Suncom Telephone: 424-1011 Thank you for sending your Director of Communications, Mr. Randy Lewis to the public hearing held in Indian River County on October 11th regarding entrance fees at Sebastian Inlet Park. Mr. Lewis' presence was most helpful and instructive to all present. There was a split of opinion among the public as to whether Indian River County should release the deed restriction prohibiting entrance fees on the south side of the Sebastian Inlet. The County Commission designated me to negotiate with the Department of Natural Resources about the terms and conditions of any lifting of the deed restriction. As the Commission sees it we have four options, and they are listed below in order of preference: 1. Continue to allow Indian River County residents as well as all others to access the southside of the Sebastian Inlet State Park with no fee being imposed. Of course, given the best of all worlds this would be our preference, however, we recognize that with the maintenance expenditures at the park as pointed out by Mr. Lewis, this alternative will be difficult for the State. 2. Lifting the deed restriction in exchange for yearly free passes to the Sebastian Inlet State Park for all Indian River County residents. This might be accomplished through decals or otherwise. Charge entrance fees at the park, with all fees received segregated for use in improvements and maintenance at the Sebastian Inlet State Park. 61 FEB 1989 L 500K i6 F� L 61
