ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously authorized <br />payment to Lone Cabbage Trading Company in the amount of <br />$27,750 as requested, as recommended in the Memorandum. <br />REQUEST FOR PAYMENT AND AGREENMU ARE ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />13.A.1. CHAIRMAN MRCHT - SALE OF PROPERTY BY BOARD <br />OF TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND <br />OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO LOST TREE VILLAGE <br />CORPORATION <br />The Board reviewed the backup in the file which consisted of a Quitclaim Deed, a <br />memorandum of October 1, 1997, and copy of Resolution 97-146. <br />Chairman Macht asked Assistant County Attorney O'Brien to present this matter. <br />Assistant County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien reviewed the history of the Lost Tree <br />Village Corporation's (LTVC) acquisition of certain properties from the Board of Trustees <br />of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida ( the Governor and Cabinet). <br />The history dated back to May 1997 when LTVC came to the Board of County <br />Commissioners to try to have some land they owned on Wabasso Island developed into two <br />separate lots. In so doing, they donated approximately $18,000 to the Environmental <br />Learning Center for removal of exotics and clean up of the area, deeded 1.54 acres of <br />wetlands which became part of the ELC's leased property, and deeded a 60' right-of-way <br />to the County. In return, the County moved some property lines and cleared up some <br />question as to whether there was a reverter clause. In September of 1997, LTVC applied to <br />the Trustees to acquire a crescent-shaped piece of land (see backup page 1831) and that land <br />was deeded to them in 1998. Under Chapter 253 of the Florida Statutes, the Trustees have <br />the obligation to manage (and can legally sell) these lands. <br />In response to numerous questions of the Commissioners, Environmental Planning & <br />Code Enforcement Chief Roland M. DeBlois explained that the land they received from the <br />Trustees is accreted land landward of the mean -high water line and qualified (with the State) <br />as "surplus". He explained that County staff had been contacted by the State according to <br />the State's procedure. The procedure is to get a letter from the local government saying that <br />the proposed surplus would not contravene and would be consistent with the Comprehensive <br />JULY 279 1999 <br />87 <br />BOOK FAGUE l <br />
