Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final <br />A. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />June 21, 2022 <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION FOR THIS HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD. <br />10.A.1. 22-0499 Consideration of the Disposition of County Owned Surplus Properties for <br />Affordable Housing <br />Recommended action: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners review the list, make <br />any appropriate changes, and approve the resolution accepting the list of County <br />owned surplus properties that are appropriate for the provision of affordable <br />housing. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Section 125.379 Florida Statute <br />List Map and Aerial <br />Draft Resolution <br />[Clerks note: this Item was heard following Item 15.A. 1.] <br />Chief of Long -Range Planning John Stoll reviewed the information contained in his <br />memorandum dated June 8, 2022, regarding the disposition of the County -owned <br />surplus properties for affordable housing. He pointed out Section 125.379 (1) of <br />the Florida Statute required each county to prepare an inventory list of all real <br />property that it holds fee simple title that was appropriate for use as affordable <br />housing within its jurisdiction. Chief Stoll, through a PowerPoint presentation, <br />outlined the details of S.125.379 (1) F.S. and identified three (3) of the 541 <br />properties currently owned by the County on the list that were not designated for <br />any specific public use. Two of the parcels were single-family lots appropriate for <br />affordable housing and one was landlocked and not buildable. He informed the <br />Board the staff report had previously listed 4887 34th Avenue to be donated as <br />affordable housing. Upon further research, staff learned there was no legal access <br />and determined it would be best to sell the parcel and donate the proceeds to the <br />State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP). He mentioned the local non-profit <br />housing organizations interested in the three properties identified and staff <br />supported the donation of these aforementioned parcels. <br />In response to a question posed by Commissioner Moss, Chief Stoll stated the <br />determination of parcels available for affordable housing on the list was based on <br />the distribution to Utilities, Public Works for conservation land, stormwater <br />right-of-ways access, future stormwater and utility projects, and other entities <br />within the County on land exchanges, leaving 3 of the 541 available parcels for <br />affordable housing. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 8 <br />
