• <br />Commissioner Adams stressed that the Commissioners cannot be involved in the <br />negotiations on the property. <br />Mr. Denton was encouraged by the suggestions and indicated his willingness to make <br />financial adjustments provided the community will receive some benefit. <br />Chairman Stanbridge invited Director Davis' comments. <br />Director Davis specified that the stormwater pond would not encompass the entire <br />15 acres. As a matter of fact, one of the purposes of buying the entire property was for the <br />County to do some mitigation that is required to offset some environmental impacts for the <br />CR512 project.. He stated that it was always his intent to have a conservation area in there, <br />particularly along the river. He displayed an elevation drawing on the overhead and <br />specified that more than half the property would be preserved. Mr. Denton had a great idea <br />and he was very much in favor of putting in nature trails which would need to come from <br />a different funding source. He pointed out it is still necessary to do some mitigation and <br />stormwater treatment but he was confident it could all come together. He was sorry that Mr. <br />Denton felt that the communication had broken down, but he felt that he had been patient <br />and cooperative with Mr. Denton over the two-year period. He had brought the issue to the <br />Board because of the fact that they could not reach agreement on a price. <br />Commissioner Ginn suggested Director Davis and Mr Denton get together. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested a time schedule to keep things moving so a decision <br />can be made. Commissioner Adams specified that the Board needed some justification to <br />approve a figure so much higher than the appraisal. <br />Director Davis and Mr Denton agreed that they would work toward having this <br />resolved by the first meeting in August. <br />• <br />July 9, 2002 <br />53 <br />4 s 160 <br />
