SALE OF SURPLUS LOTS IN FELLSMERE APPROVED - <br />LOTS 11 & 12, BLOCK 80, TOWN OF FELLSMERE - JAMES <br />GODFREY (tabled 8/17/99) <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of August 11, 1999: <br />Date: August 11, 1999 <br />To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />Thru: James E. Chandler, County Administrator <br />From: Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director cJ• <br />Subject: Surplus Lots - Fellsmere <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Currently, the County owns two lots in Fellsmere. The legal descriptions of the properties are Lots 11 & <br />12, Block 80 Town of Fellsmere. The County obtained these lots in 1972, due to delinquent taxes. Each <br />lot is 25 feet by 125 feet. <br />Mr. James Godfrey along with his son is an adjacent owner. He inquired into the possibility of acquiring <br />the lots. As a result, I reviewed the matter with the County Attorney's office relative to options should the <br />Board desire to liquidate the lots. Will Collins issued a memorandum outlining those basic options. The <br />County could opt to sell the property by offering them to the highest and best bidder following a prescribed <br />notice. A second method the County could choose would be to effect a private sale when the property is <br />valued at $5,000 or less. This means of sale can be utilized when due to size shape and location and value <br />the Board determines that the parcel is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners. <br />Mr. Godfrey has offered $1,400 for the two lots. I subsequently advised Mr. Godfrey that I was consulting <br />with the County Attorney's office as how to best dispose of the lots. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The lots are currently carried on the tax roll with a value of $2,760, which is almost twice the value offered <br />by Mr. Godfrey. I subsequently went to Fellsmere and drove up North Hickory Street where the lots are <br />located. They were occupied by debris and other items and appeared to be of minimal value to any other <br />Party - <br />SEPTEMBER 7,1999 <br />98 <br />
