The Board of County Commissioners, in regular session on March 21, 2017, executed a Memorandum of Agreement with FDOT related to the Northerly Segment of the St. Johns Heritage Parkway Project. The Agreement contained a graphic representation of various parcels to be acquired by the County and by FDOT. The parcel known as the Welchwood parcel was to be acquired by the County to meet the needs of both County and FDOT for floodplain compensation. FDOT requires the conveyance of an easement from the County that is sufficient to allow FDOT a flowage of an estimated 76.8 acre-feet floodplain volume, together with an access easement. The Perpetual Easements will fulfill the terms of the Agreement.
The Resolutions are pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida Statute authorizing the conveyance of County property.
The User Department is in agreeance with this request.
This acquisition follows the policies and procedures as set forth in Administrative Order 37.
