• Comprehensive Plan Acquisition Commitment <br />Conservation Policy 6.3 of the County Comprehensive Plan commits <br />the County to acquire a minimum of 100 acres of coastal/tropical <br />vegetative community for conservation purposes. -The Cairns property <br />would essentially fulfill this policy by conserving close to 100 <br />acres of maritime hammock and coastal strand. .The project also <br />furthers objectives in the County comprehensive plan relating to <br />open space, historic resources, and endangered species habitat <br />protection. The purchase would also serve to maintain low <br />development density on the north barrier island from the standpoint <br />of hurricane evacuation concerns. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />Cairns property purchase contract by agreeing to exercise its <br />purchase option, contingent on the State's approval to exercise the <br />option. Staff also recommends that the Board authorize staff to <br />proceed with property closing tasks in coordination with the State, <br />and authorize the Board Chairman to execute any documents <br />associated with the closing. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />•General map of project <br />•LAAC meeting minutes <br />*Purchase Option Contract&Ca) <br />[Appraisals are available for review in the County Planning Office] <br />To avoid confusion, Director Keating pointed out that this <br />proposed acquisition is only part of Cairns -Irwin tract on the LAAO <br />list. The difference is that two Cairn parcels, totalling <br />approximately 104 acres, are being proposed for acquisition today, <br />but not the 8 -acre Irwin tract. Negotiations are continuing on the <br />Irwin tract. -.Director Keating referred to the property outline on <br />page 130 for clarification. <br />March 19, 1996 <br />L_ <br />1154 <br />Macke? 3 112 Ac. <br />TAS kWVA!b VAyA , * S,470, J10 <br />fthheas <br />0/0 w„*14E wL t ww <br />Y .y <br />zv/�L <br />C.R. 510 <br />\ <br />•i e%OS1cs t B t• <br />\ <br />® ca•a�yAropa� xrw� <br />\ � <br />1�4 CokriRl. �f/A.iyDY.F. <br />P <br />\ <br />_� PPylV4Mf GALL :7 <br />I6 kl.• \ <br />9, <br />y Z <br />Mq{R2.
