Summary:
This action allows for the sale of a fee-owned parcel located at 21 and 113 Oscar Hill Road.
Background Information:
In preparation for new development, it was discovered that The Landings constructed a building on the parcel in 2003. The forty-foot wide parcel is located under a building at the Tarpon Marina located on the north side of the Anclote River.
An independent appraisal of the property estimates the market value to be $6,700.00. In accordance with the Board approved Real Estate Procedures, all County departments were queried regarding the necessity of acquiring said property; thereby determining that all departments were in agreeance.
In accordance with Florida State Statutes Chapter 125.35(2), “when the Board of County Commissioners finds that a parcel of real property is of insufficient size and shape to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be constructed on the property or when the Board of County Commissioners finds that the value of a parcel of real property is $15,000 or less, as determined by a fee appraiser designated by the Board or as determined by the County Property Appraiser, and when, due to the size, shape, location, and value of the parcel, it is determined by the Board that the parcel is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners, the Board may effect a private sale of the parcel.”
Fiscal Impact:
Projected Revenue - $6,700.00 to be deposited into the General Fund. This revenue was not anticipated during the development of the FY20 Budget.
