BOOK PAGE 679 <br />T. County Owned Land Swab <br />The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny <br />Dean dated October 25, 1994: <br />DATE: OCTOBER 25, 1994 - - <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: COUNTY OWNED LAND SWAP <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On October 4, 1994, the Board approved a land swap between Indian <br />River County and Timber Ridge, Inc. In accordance with Florida �1 _ <br />State Statue, the subject transaction was advertised and a <br />resolution is hereby attached as required by the law. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Timber Ridge, Inc. has agreed to pay for all cost associated with <br />surveys and paperwork. The County will pay for their own title <br />insurance. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends approval and requests authorization for the <br />Chairman to execute the attached resolution. <br />Donald Smith, resident of Timber Ridge, recounted that he and <br />his neighbors have been subjected to recent governmental actions <br />which were distasteful to them and which impacted on their <br />properties. He was concerned that the subject land swap could <br />bring about an enlargement of the transfer station operation. He <br />was given information that the County has no plan to enlarge the <br />transfer station, but he asked for assurance from the Board to <br />substantiate that information. Mr. Smith stated that he and his <br />neighbors use the trash transfer station, but they do not want that <br />operation moved closer to their area. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that we have absolutely no <br />plan to expand or enlarge or modify the Oslo transfer station. The <br />owner of- a 3.5 -acre parcel which abuts the transfer station <br />inquired whether we would be amenable to a swap of that parcel for <br />a parcel on the west side of Lateral J. The County has no need for <br />the property west of-.Lateral.J and the 3.5 -acre parcel added to the <br />site will square off the boundary. It was a simple land swap and <br />we have absolutely no plan to change that operation. <br />10 <br />November 1, 1994 <br />
