On December 17, 2024, the Board approved a counteroffer that was received from the Respondents/property owners in that case to settle the eminent domain case in the amount of $72,240.00 inclusive of attorney's fees and costs. This was to be along with other non -monetary compensation sought by the Respondents/property owners of 20 loads of fill delivered to their property, three (3) driveway aprons from the new property line to the new edge of 66' Avenue, and a drainage easement that allowed the Respondents to drain from their property south to the Lateral R -14E Canal which is controlled by Sebastian River Drainage District. The court has entered a final judgment in this case enforcing the settlement agreement which includes all of the above-mentioned terms. The drainage easement needs to be approved and signed off by the Board so that it may be recorded in the public records of the County and therefore enabling the County to comply with the final judgement in this case.
