• <br />to be responsible for negotiation and acquisition activities for the Oslo Riverfront South and Wabasso Scrub <br />Addition projects. (Since the North Sebastian C.A. Addition (Anstalt) property has already been acquired <br />by the County, this issue is not applicable.) <br />Project Plan Approval outlines County documents required prior to FCT disbursement of State funds, <br />including a statement of total project costs, a signed agreement for acquisition, and a management plan <br />consistent with the criteria and conditions within the Conceptual Approval Agreement. <br />Project Site Acquisition Requirements relate to State requirements regarding transfer of title procedures, <br />and allow the County to determine whether title goes to the County or to the State. Staffs position is that, <br />in the interest of local control, the County should opt to obtain full title to the subject properties. <br />Obligations as a Condition of Project Funding ensure that any use of project property once acquired will <br />be consistent with the adopted management plan, or, if changes are proposed, that FCT approval is first <br />obtained. <br />Obligations Relating to the Use of Bond Proceeds requires the County to notify FCT if any use of project <br />property is proposed that may affect State frond proceeds used in acquiring the property, with respect to legal <br />and tax consequences. <br />Disallowable Activities/Remedies provide that the County will cease any "disallowable activities" on the <br />project property upon written notification from the FCT, as applicable, and that the FCT will be held <br />harmless from all claims relating to disallowable activities. "Disallowable activities" are specifically listed <br />in the Agreement, and include the operation of concessions on the property, and "any use of the project site <br />by any person other than in such person's capacity as a member of the general public." <br />Site Specific Management Plan Conditions reflect information presented to FCT in the County's grant <br />applications, including revisions deemed appropriate by the FCT, relating to proposed site improvements <br />and use. Proposed improvements to the Oslo Riverfront South property include, boardwalks, nature trails, <br />and information signs. The other two sites, the Wabasso Scrub Addition and the North Sebastian C.A. <br />Addition (Anstalt) property, will be incorporated into existing Conservation Areas and thereby new facilities <br />will be minimal. Invasive exotic plant removal and resource management are proposed for each site, <br />consistent with county environmental lands program objectives. <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Conceptual Approval Agreements <br />for the herein described LAAC sites, including the Oslo Riverfront South and Wabasso Scrub Addition <br />Confidentiality Agreements. Staff also recommends that the Board authorize staff to coordinate with the <br />City of Sebastian for approval of the Wabasso Scrub Addition agreement(s). Moreover, staff recommends <br />that the Board opt to have the County be the responsible party for negotiation and acquisition activities, as <br />applicable, and also opt to retain full title to the properties. <br />Project location maps. <br />Conceptual Approval Agreement (CAA) for the Oslo Riverfront South LAAC site <br />(the Wabasso Scrub Addition and the North Sebastian C.A. Addition (Anstalt) CAAs are available for review in the <br />County Commission Office) <br />Confidentiality Agreements for the Oslo Riverfront South and Wabasso Scrub Addition sites. <br />December 21, 1999 <br />21 <br />0 <br />suQ�• Ii, Ir UE 1619 ^J <br />
