WINTER BEACH CEMETERY CONVERSION PROPOSAL County Administrator Jim Chandler made the following presentation: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: January 3, 1992 FILE: THRU: James E. Chandler County Administrator Winter Beach Cemetery SUBJECT: Conversion Proposal FRO Asst.to . Dowling County AdministratorREFERENCES: BACKGROUND During the May 14, 1991 regular commission meeting, the Board approved giving approximately 18 acres of Hobart Park ('valued at $200,000) to the Winter Beach Cemetery Association for cemetery expansion and, in turn, restricting the old 30 acre Oslo Road landfill (valued at $200,000) to perpetual recreational use. Appraisals and land surveys of both properties were completed and a formal' conversion proposal was submitted on August 5, 1991 to the Florida Department of Natural Resources (FDNR) for their review and approval. Af ter the FDNR reviewed the application, the department forwarded thd- materials to the National Park Service (NPS) in Atlanta for ultimate approval. The NPS verbally rejected the application during late November 1991 on the basis that the old landfill is not an appropriate site for recreation because of the potential liability of methane gas and other harmful by-products of closed landfills. The FDNR and the County are still waiting for a written rejection from the NPS Washington, D.C. headquarters. 63 I
