�00K 109 <br />Environmental Chief Roland DeBlois reviewed the project and noted that the parcel <br />to the east is the Bermuda Club parcel. That portion of Jungle Trail is dedicated to passive <br />recreation and the owner has indicated they are not willing to sell the parcel and do not want <br />public access to the parcel. The parcel to the north is a larger piece which is mostly open- <br />water <br />penwater cove and mangrove wetlands. The Preuss parcel would be a "stand-alone" purchase. <br />However, Tom Collins has a backup contract on the Preuss parcel in case the County does <br />not purchase the parcel and has indicated that he would be willing to grant the County a <br />conservation easement over most of the property, which would expand the green space. The <br />Land Acquisition Advisory Committee discussed the matter and submitted the following <br />recommendation: <br />At the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee meeting on May 26, 1999 the following <br />motion was made: <br />ON MOTION by Mr. Swift, SECONDED by Mr. <br />Chesnutt the Committee unanimously recommended <br />(10-0) that the Board of County Commissioners table <br />any decision on the option agreement They <br />voted to - instruct staff W obtain a conservation <br />easement from the prospective buyer, Mr. Tom <br />Collins, in lieu of the county exercising the option. If,__ <br />however, such conservation' easement cannot be <br />mutually agreed upon, the option will be brought back <br />to the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee for <br />further discussion, prior 'to the Board deciding <br />whether to exercise the option. <br />JUNE 19 1999 <br />• -22- <br />• <br />
