• • <br />on January 16, 2002. At that time the Committee felt that an amendment to the LAAC <br />Guide would be necessary in order for the land to qualify for LAAC purchase. The <br />amendment would be to include historically or archeologically significant lands. The <br />Committee supported the purchase of the land but not the use of bond funds. Staff is now <br />asking for direction on whether or not to proceed with the purchase and what funding should <br />be used. <br />Naomi Wolf, The Trust For Public Lands, South Florida Office, 7900 Red Road, <br />South Miami, stated that they have a lot of experience in these areas and have staff available <br />in Tallahassee to work with Florida Communities Trust. TFPL will commit to working very <br />closely with the County to secure grants to help offset the purchase costs. <br />Chairman Stanbridge stated that the Guide does not reflect the current categories, <br />most of which occurred at the State level. She felt that the minimum criteria requested <br />should be added to the Guide. <br />Commissioner Macht noted that at the LAAC meeting discussion was held that there <br />are no native plants on this site and there is only a very minimal archeological site. The <br />historical site is the one that contains Paul Kroegel's house which is being sold as a <br />commercial piece of property. He believed the value of this property is diminished by not <br />including the other 2 parcels. <br />Mr. DeBlois stated that staff would obtain an appraisal through the normal process <br />to use as a basis for the value of the land. <br />Commissioner Macht was concerned that this property would not be a significant <br />parcel unless it were attached to at least one other piece of the entire property. <br />JANUARY 22, 2002 <br />-45- <br />7 <br />toS <br />
