NOV 13 1990 MG)E 902 process of buying the golf course there, and they are very concerned about the easement that was negotiated with DeBartolo on his property on the opposite side of the street to allow for the widening of the road without affecting the golf course property. The County has a commitment for 60' of the golf course property, and he wondered if there was any way the County could lift that and commit the opposite side of the road because if the mall doesn't go in and something else goes in, he assumed that means a renegotiation. Chairman Eggert confirmed that was correct. She further advised that as far as the Board is concerned, that property has returned to its original form and there is nothing we can do about the easement at this time. Commissioner Scurlock agreed, and further noted that Vista Plantation residents will be more at risk if a smaller project comes in because they have less room to maneuver. He also pointed out that there never was any deal arranged with the Drainage District regarding this R/W and their canal, and he does not know if the Drainage District is receptive to the idea. Mr. Duryea felt they would be sympathetic because they already have moved two lateral canals in the county - one at Bent Pine and one at Windsor - but it was pointed out that was a totally different drainage district. Frank Zorc wished to be allowed to speak. He wanted the record to show that Mr. Scurlock very much misinformed the public on the reasons Mr. Greco backed off from this mall. His main reason for backing off was not economics - it was the cost. Chairman Eggert believed economics is anything to do with money, and Mr. Zorc clarified that Mr. Greco told him it was not the state of the economy today that caused them to back off, but the cost. He contended that they are not backing off because the economy looks bad. Commissioner Scurlock stated that Mr. Greco certainly did tell him that is one of the reasons for their backing off. 26
