_I <br />JUN <br />BOOK 8�O <br />on <br />the property, <br />but the Planning & Zoning Commission has denied <br />their application and that will be coming to the Board sometime <br />in July. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that with the State, the County <br />and the Water District all interested in acquiring this property, <br />it would push it to a high priority list of some sort. That is <br />what he preferred to do, because he felt that if we are going to <br />do anything outside the overall land acquisition program that we <br />are trying to develop, we are going to have to get some funding <br />from some place other than Indian River County. <br />Mr. Hawkins, a gentleman from the audience, advised that <br />there is some private interest in participating with the public <br />on the property over a period of time as part of their on-going <br />process here locally, and Chairman Eggert asked that he get <br />together with Administrator Chandler on that interest. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, that the Board authorize <br />Administrator Chandler to go ahead and spend some time <br />and effort to analyze what funds are available and then <br />come back to the Board with options on what direction <br />to take. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird expressed his concern <br />about who is going to manage this property and maintain it in the <br />future, what we are going to use it for, and how much of it the <br />public will have access to. <br />Commissioner Bowman viewed the 66 acres of coastal hammock <br />as being used as a passive park with perhaps a jogging trail and <br />natural trails. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />60 <br />
