DeBlois/ <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: November 8, 1999 <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Quit Claim Deed to Release County Interest in Ditch and Road <br />Rights -of -Way on the Carson Platt Estate Property, in Conjunction with Closing <br />It is requested that the information herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of <br />County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 16, 1999. <br />The Board of County Commissioners, at a public hearing on April 14, 1998, agreed to participate as a <br />cost -share partner with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the State <br />Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL) program to purchase the ±5,361 acre Carson platt Estate <br />property (located northwest of the C.R. 512/1-95 interchange). The purchase price of the property as <br />negotiated by the SJRWMD is $10,027,611.72. <br />At that April 14 meeting, the Board adopted Resolution 98-44, whereby the Board agreed to 33% cost - <br />share participation, contingent upon the County obtaining undivided title interest. However, on April 28, <br />1998, the Board revised its position and adopted Resolution 98-52 (see Attachment 4), whereby the <br />Board agreed to 25% cost -share participation, with the title interest issue to be pursued separately <br />through the State Land Acquisition and Management Advisory Council (LAMAC). On October 6, 1998, <br />the County enter into a participation agreement with the SJRWMD relating to closing of the purchase <br />(see Attachment 3). <br />Over the past year, closing of the Carson Platt Estate purchase has been delayed due to the seller having <br />to resolve tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service, and also due to the time needed for the <br />SJRWMD and State to complete a boundary survey of the property. The tax issue has since been <br />resolved and the survey completed, and closing is now scheduled to occur on Wednesday, November 17, <br />1999. <br />NOVEMBER 16, 1999 <br />-25- BOOK .
