Director Davis advised that Robert Nall, attorney for the property owner, is requesting that the County purchase the entire parent tract, which is approximately 11.91 acres for the appraised value of $162,320. County staff considered the counteroffer and found that there are some advantages to acquiring the entire parent tract. Those advantages would include the elimination of potential driveway connections along the west side of Indian River Boulevard.

There would be a fill section to the north of the bridge that would traverse the alignment along this property. It would not be up on pilings; it would be a filled section in that area. With regard to the water flow, there is a connection from that area to the Main Relief Canal. Commissioner Bowman asked if there would be a road connection under the road between that 6 acres on the west side of the road and the mitigated area (Impoundment No. 22) on the east side of the road.
