DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Two sites listed by the County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC) for acquisition are the Korangy Tract on north Jungle Trail and the Fischer property on the south prong of St. Sebastian River ("Sebastian Creek"). Both of these sites have generally been approved for cost -share funding under the State Conservation and Recreational Lands (CARL) program. For each cost -share project under the -CARL program, a multi-party acquisition agreement is required between the County and the Division of State Lands (DSL). In fact, execution of a County/State multi-party acquisition agreement is a condition of closing the Korangy Tract purchase contract recently approved by the Board. Over the past few months, county staff has coordinated with DSL staff to finalize the wording of the referenced multi-party acquisition agreements. These agreements are based on a standard State format, with certain site-specific language. Staff requests that the Board approve the attached multi-party acquisition agreements relating to state cost -share acquisition of the Korangy Tract and the Fischer -Sebastian River Property LAAC sites. ANALYSIS Korangy Tract The eastern +15 acre parcel of the Korangy Tract is within the Archie Carr CARL project boundary, and is generally the portion of the Korangy LAAC site subject to the multi-party agreement. More specifically, 11.33 acres of the eastern parcel are landward of a water boundary line depicted on the certified boundary survey of the parcel, as approved by the DSL. These.11.33 Acres are the portion of the Korangy Tract that the State is agreeing to purchase. The Agreement provides that the County will assume responsibility for pre-acquisition tasks such as appraisal mapping, appraiser selection, and negotiations, all in accordance with State DSL procedures. During the course of these activities, which have already occurred, county staff coordinated with DSL staff to ensure that State procedures were satisfied. The Agreement also provides that the State will pay closing costs for that portion of the overall Korangy Tract within the Archie Carr CARL project boundary. "Closing costs" includes survey, environmental audit, title insurance and recording costs. Under the heading of "special conditions", the Agreement has a disclaimer that the State's purchase participation is contingent upon available State funding. However, given that the Archie Carr CARL project is ranked 3rd on the State CARL project list and has been funded under the FY 94/95 DSL acquisition work plan, non - participation by the State is remote. Fischer -Sebastian River Property The multi-party agreement relating to the Fischer -Sebastian River property is similar to the Korangy Tract agreement. A difference is that, since the total property is within the Sebastian Creek CARL project boundary, the State is agreeing to cost -share for the overall property. Accordingly, the State will pay 50% of the purchase price and the closing costs of the property. Due to May 16, 1995 11 BOOK 9 Q F; ;E 37 I
