The property was deeded by the Board of Trustees of the Internal <br />Improvement Trust Fund to Indian River County for recreational <br />purposes, with a subsequent amendment to allow the property to be <br />used for public educational purposes. <br />2. The 1987 lease between the County and the Pelican Island Audubon <br />Society provides that the property be used exclusively for an <br />environmental learning center and accessory uses thereto. The lease <br />also provides that the property will be used solely for the purpose of <br />maintaining and operating an environmental information center, and that <br />failure to comply would allow the county to declare a default in the <br />lease. <br />1091 9 ,�11 <br />:80% VI <br />July 19, 1994 <br />
