13.A.3. CHAIRMAN CAROLINE D. GINN - REPORT ON TRIP <br />TO TALLAHASSEE TO A MEETING OF THE FLORIDA <br />COMMUNITIES TRUST GOVERNING BOARD <br />REGARDING LOST TREE ISLANDS <br />Chairman Ginn reported that she had appeared before the Governing Board regarding <br />Lost Tree Islands and she was very happy to have Vero Beach City Councilwoman Sandra <br />Bowden and Town of Indian River Shores Mayor Tom Cadden with her. They were able <br />to obtain an extra 25 points to boost the total to 155 for that property. She asked for <br />permission to appoint Assistant County Administrator Joe Baird to a team to negotiate with <br />Lost Tree and noted Mr. Baird's outstanding job on the LAAC bond issue, together with his <br />irreproachable character. <br />Commissioner Adams believed that would be overstepping the Board's authority. <br />The County Administrator will handle this matter and the Board does not need to get in the <br />middle of the action. <br />Commissioner Macht mentioned that the appraisals also need to be done. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating stated that the appraisals have not <br />been started due to several issues which need to be resolved regarding the development <br />regulations applicable to the property. A decision has been reached to have several <br />alternative appraisals prepared which would relate to not only current development <br />restrictions which are significantly severe but also to other options based on other <br />development scenarios which could affect the value of the property. <br />DECEMBER 4, 2001 <br />-118- <br />N s PG 0 <br />
