Mr. O'Haue then questioned whether the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund <br />own all the bottom lands, and 1VIr. Poole responded that they do not. <br />Director Davis commented that all dock permit applicants used the same survey <br />referred to earlier, changing only the lot numbers. <br />Tom Brown, 2115 South A1A, stated he had been sworn, and indicated that his dock <br />was the 2' dock from the north. He stated that 6 or 7 commercial fishing boats had taken <br />refuge in the area during the last storm and they were long -line boats, 35 feet to 45 feet long. <br />Harold Olsen, 2085 South AIA, stated that he had been sworn and pointed out the <br />1' dock to the north as his. He stated that he had owned a 24 -foot Rampage inboard motor <br />boat and had accessed the deep water where the bridge now is. Prior to buying the property, <br />he sounded the whole bay and never found less than 3 feet of water. He now has an 18 -foot <br />Century skiff but had sold a 28 -foot Pursuit because he could not use it under the bridge. He <br />offered to let the County use some of his property for spoil material should the County elect <br />to dredge around the island. <br />County Attorney O'Brien pointed out that the affidavit of Mr. DeGrazia could be <br />considered by the Board but noted that there is no opportunity for cross-examination of Mr. <br />DeGrazia. He continued that the Board should consider all the facts available and noted that <br />when these people purchased their properties, ingress and egress were stated to be north of <br />No Name Island. Access through the area of the bridge might be more convenient but was <br />not a part of the permitting process. <br />DECEMBER 14, 1999 <br />-69- BOOK Ft �� <br />
