PUBLIC HEARING — PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT BUTLER BAY ROAD County Attorney Novak stated that it is a Public Hearing; reporting that it has been advertised. Chairman Quinn opened the Public Hearing to public comment. Clifford Knauer, representing Lagoon Management Development appeared before the Board to discuss this project; stating that the developer would like to rebuild the bridge (on Butler Bay Road). He discussed several scenarios the developer is offering the County regarding Butler Bay Road and the bridge. Discussion followed regarding Butler Bay Road, public access and private property. County Attorney Novak stated that this is a Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing; requesting a motion of the Board to waive the Quasi- Judicial Hearing otherwise everyone will need to be swom-in to give testimony. Chairman Quinn called for any objection to waiving the Quasi-Judicial Hearing. There being none, Commissioner McCroan so moved to waive.

County Attorney Novak requested Mr. Knauer to state for the record that he has no objection. Mr. Knauer stated he has no objection (to waiving the Quasi-Judicial Hearing). Upon inquiry by a gentleman from the audience, County Attorney Novak summarized the process and meaning of waiving the Quasi-Judicial Hearing procedure. Chairman Quinn then called for additional public comment. There being none, the motion passed unanimously. Commissioner McCroan discussed his concerns regarding the road, bridge, and gating; requesting the County Attorney to explain the legal aspects of preventing this public area becoming private in the future. County Attorney Novak stated that currently it is a public right-of-way for the public to come up and down the roadway from U.S. Highway 98. The proposal, as he understands it, is that they will either abandon the entire right-of-way, but give a perpetual easement to the public with the developer being required to maintain the road and bridge improvements. He stated that if the County is so inclined to abandon the road, then the developer will be required to maintain it, record it (in the Official Records) in perpetuity the public access and any other concessions the private developer would offer the County, there never being a legal ability for them to place a gate at U.S. Highway 98 turning onto Butler Bay Road. County Attorney Novak further explained that his understanding is that the gate would be placed at the bridge, the County would abandon it from thereafter and there would not be an easement beyond the bridge, but the public would always have access up to the Butler Bay Bridge at the gate, together with any other concessions the developer might offer. Upon inquiry by County Administrator Hammond of whether there was a reason for the County to even convey the first part of the road and if the developer would be in agreement to abandon only the portion of road past the bridge, Mr. Knauer stated the developer would have no objection to that if the County would like to continue ownership and maintain the first section of the road up to the bridge He did stated that the developer's issue is that the road needs to be resurfaced and at some point, the developer would have to come to the Board to get approval to resurface the road (if the County maintains ownership). Upon inquiry by Commissioner McDaniel, County Administrator Hammond reported that the road (Butler Bay Road) is owned by the County and the property was annexed in the mid-2000 by the City (of Port St. Joe). He discussed making an arrangement, if the Board is so willing, that the developer resurface the road (Butler Bay Road) and replace the bridge, with the County maintaining the first part as County owned right-of-way that the developer will improve and the developer will gate it beyond the bridge. Following additional discussion, Chairman Quinn opened comment to the public. Doug Kelly, of Highland View appeared before the Board to inquire of the amount of parking spots the developer is offering. Mr. Knauer stated that six (6) are shown in the current plans. Mr. Kelly inquired about the space before the old Butler's Restaurant site. Chairman Quinn stated that the proposal is anything past the bridge will go to the developer. Upon inquiry by Commissioner McCroan, Mr. Kelly stated that he doesn't have a problem with what he (Mr. Knauer) said, but explained he would like to see the County keep an easement on the property right across the bridge so people could back up to the water and watch the fireworks, etc. Commissioner McCroan stated he is for keeping access for the public. Edward (Buddy) Wood, of Highland View appeared before the Board to report that he does not want to see any of the road go (abandoned); stating he would like to see the County keep the right-of-way all the way to the Butler property. He discussed his concems regarding the traffic in and out. Following discussion, 2930 Mr. Wood stated he is not for giving up this road (Butler Bay Road). Fred Pace, of Port St. Joe appeared before the Board to discuss the development in Destin and the construction within Gulf County; requesting the Board make decisions that are in the best interest of protecting waterfront access for residents. County Administrator Hammond reported that this development is a City of Port St. Joe development; stating the City of Port St. Joe allowed this massive density. He stated the issue before the Board today is not about the density, but whether the County keeps a 66" right-of-way to nowhere and replace the bridge and road at a $750,000.00 cost, with no legal access to the water except to the bridge, or does the County get some access from the developer; keeping the first % of the road and abandoning end (of the road). Mr. Pace stated the County could send a clear message to the City of Port St. Joe for future projects and if the Board sends a message of not abandoning this road today it will be impactful. Commissioner McCroan discussed his concerns regarding the development in Destin. Curtis Brown, representing Barefoot Cottages Homeowners Association appeared before the Board to discuss their concems regarding the abandonment of this road with key points being that they want to keep access to the Bay, would love to see it as a park, their desire for the road to remain a County road, and watershed concems. He inquired whether a pedestrian bridge was an option, with less concern for the cost to repair and maintain. County Attorney Novak summarized the developer's proposal, what the County would get in return, and the property owners legal right of access to their property. Stan Kreimer, of WindMark Beach appeared before the Board to discuss his concems regarding giving property away; stating that easements are not a magic solution to this, it is going to be a headache. He cautioned the County to be very careful, thoughtful, and prudent before the Board jumps at something that sounds attractive on the surface. County Administrator Hammond stated for the record that he does not know how much the developer paid for all this property, but the Butler piece, the small piece at the end sold for $4 million originally. He reported that the public has no access to water now except at the bridge. County Attorney Novak discussed the considerations of future expectations and obligations of ingress and egress as they consider what is being offered as a concession and what their obligation is going forward to opening that access back up. Attorney Novak reported that Larry Wagner, of WindMark Beach submitted a letter to the Board opposing the abandonment. Larry Wagner, of WindMark Beach appeared before the Board to state that he is not opposed to building or planning; discussing his concerns regarding the need for additional parking spaces, ample amount of space to turn around, trash pickup and restriction on hours. He discussed waiting on the City’s (of Port St. Joe) approval of the development before the County takes action. Discussion followed regarding the parking space and possible erosion concerns if the rip- rap was to be removed. Mr. Knauer stated that if the County retains the ownership of the 66' (feet) of right-of-way, then there would be a significate amount of parking all the way down the road without a problem; reporting the developer needs a bridge to build his property. He stated that providing the County public access, that the County does not possess now, would be a fair exchange for the developer to build the bridge, provide the access and the ability to gate his project. Following discussion regarding development plans, density and public access, Mr. Knauer reported that the developer has no plans to remove the rip-rap, if anything he will be adding to the shore protection. Edward (Buddy) Wood expressed his opinion that the County should keep the road and give the developer 3031 public access by moving the gate further down from the bridge. Chairman Quinn called for additional public comment. There being none, Chairman Quinn closed comment to the public. Chairman Quinn inquired of any emails; there were none. County Administrator Hammond stated the Board has one other option: Option 1 - do nothing, Option 2 - accept the offer or Option 3 - give it to the City (of Port St. Joe). Chairman Quinn inquired whether it would be possible to get some of that property on the other side (of the bridge). Mr. Knauer stated that he will go back to the developer with his inquiry, discussing concems of general liability and maintenance on the bridge with general public use. Commissioner McDaniel discussed a few items that need to be addressed; stating they can negotiate and come to a good middle ground. He discussed tabling this matter to review further. County Attorney Novak stated that the Board can table and advertise for a later date for a Public Hearing. After discussion by members of the Board, Commissioner Rich motioned to table. Commissioner McDaniel seconded the motion. Chairman Quinn called for public comment and emails. There being none, the motion passed unanimously. The meeting did recess at 10:39 a.m., E.T.

Commissioner McCroan reported that Public Works has been doing a lot of work in Jones Homestead and Oak Grove regarding the ditches; discussing the heavy rainfall. Commissioners Farrell and Rich thanked Public Works for their efforts. Commissioner McCroan stated the Board needs to come up with away, equipment-wise, to clean out the culverts. WHITE CITY BOAT RAMP Commissioner McCroan asked if the County had a drawing (plans) of the layout for White City Boat Ramp improvements (Bid #1920-45); requesting a copy to review and to make the public aware. County Administrator Hammond reported that it (the improvements) will not block the boat ramp. Discussion followed regarding the ramps, the layout, and public access. CRIME STOPPERS Chairman Quinn called Jerry Tabott, of Crime Stoppers to appear before the Board . Mr. Tabbot was not present. 3132 ROOF REPAIR / SENIOR CITIZENS BUILDING Robert Farmer, Jr., of Port St. Joe appeared before the Board to discuss the need for a new roof for the Senior Citizens Building; stating this building is for the community. County Administrator Hammond reported that this building is a private entity, non-profit organization; stating that the County can give money, but it is not a County building as it is owned by Senior Citizens, LLC or Corporation. Mr. Farmer stated that he went to the Property Appraiser's Office and was told it did belong to the County. County Administrator Hammond stated that the land belongs to the County with a 99 year lease, but the building belongs to the Corporation. Upon inquiry by County Administrator Hammond regarding insurance on the building, Mr. Farmer stated that he was told there was no insurance on the building because the organization didn’t own the property. Following discussion, Chairman Quinn requested that Mr. Farmer submit the three quotes he has obtained for the roof repair to County Administration. Commissioner McDaniel discussed looking into this further to find a way to help. County Administrator Hammond stated that the Senior Citizens need to have insurance on this building; reiterating that this is not a County ‘owned building, only the property belongs to the County.

Chairman Quinn stated that the City (of Port St. Joe) plans to open this area up for affordable housing. Commissioner McCroan discussed his concerns regarding density: inquiring whether the County can put stipulations on it. County Administrator Hammond discussed annexation and the previous agreement in place. County Attorney Novak discussed the lack of information from the City regarding the final plans of the proposed annexed properties; stating that a Memorandum of Understanding is in place and the County can have stipulations. Chairman Quinn instructed County Attorney Novak to wait on sending the letter until they can have a sit- down discussion with the City of Port St. Joe; stating the Board needs to put stipulations on this property before agreeing to the proposed annexation. County Administrator Hammond discussed concerns regarding the time limit to object and whether the County can meet before the deadline. County Attorney Novak stated he would still ike the right to submit the letter to let the City of Port St. Joe know; adding a caveat that the County would still ike to meet with the Mayor, the Chairman and staff.
