Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Directo <br />SUBJECT: Land Exchange - Indian River Farms Water Control District <br />And Indian River County <br />DATE: May 24, 2000 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />In 1995, The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and the <br />Supervisors of the Indian River Farm Water Control District <br />(IRFWCD) agreed to exchange two parcels of land. The County will, <br />by copy of the attached deed, transfer to the IRFWCD a 3.2 acre <br />parcel located at the 74`h Avenue/4`h Street shell pit for the <br />purpose of locating a maintenance shop for the District since their <br />current site at SR60/43z*a Avenue is in an urban area where <br />ingress/egress has been complicated by widening of 43d Avenue and <br />increased traffic. The County will receive from the District a <br />triangular parcel containing .094766± acres located along the north <br />of SR60 west of 43rd Avenue near the existing IRFWCD maintenance <br />office. The County can use all or a portion of this parcel to <br />acquire additional 43x" Avenue right of way at the northwest corner <br />of SR60/43rd Avenue by a future exchange. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Since this exchange was approved in 1995, staff is simply <br />implementing past Board action. Additional alternatives are not <br />presented. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FIINDINd <br />Staff recommends proceeding with the property exchange by <br />authorizing execution of a deed for the 3.2 acre parcel to IRFWCD <br />by the Chairman and acceptance of a deed for the .094766± acre <br />parcel from the IRFWCD. No funding is involved beyond the property <br />exchange. <br />JUNE 69 2000 <br />-66- <br />
