I CONSENT BCC Meeting July 13, 2021 Date: June 28 2021 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Parks & Recreation / Conservation Lands Department of General Services To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator Michael C. Zito, Assistant County Administrator Kevin Kirwin, Director Parks & Recreation From: Beth Powell, Asst. Director Parks & Conservation Resources Subject: Approval of State Sovereignty Submerged Lands Fee Waived Lease 5 -Year Renewal for the Archie Smith Fish House DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS In January 2007, the Board of County Commissioners acquired the historic Archie Smith Fish House under the County's environmental lands program. The subject waterfront property consists of approximately 1. 15 acres located north of the intersection of Jackson Street and Indian River Drive in the City of Sebastian. The property includes a dock and icehouse extending over sovereign submerged lands of the Indian River Lagoon. Because the submerged lands are state sovereign lands, the County executed a sovereignty submerged lands lease with the State (Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund) in conjunction with the property acquisition. The State submerged land lease is now up for renewal. To that end, attached is a copy of the 5 -year lease renewal document for the Board's approval consideration. As reflected in the lease renewal (and in the previous lease), the lease is for a docking facility with a non -water dependent historical fish house/shed to be used for mooring of recreational vessels. The lease renewal is a "fee waived" lease, which reflects public use and forgoes an annual lease fee that would otherwise be charged by the State. Although there is no annual lease fee associated with the proposed five-year renewal, there is a "one-time" administrative processing fee of $692.31 charged by the State for the five-year lease renewal. 115
