Summary Explanation and Background:
The subject property is located in Section 7, Township 25 South, Range 37 East, on the west side of Newfound Harbor Drive in Merritt Island.
Natural Resources Management Department is undertaking a project known as Zone T Sykes Creek Septic to Sewer Conversion, in conjunction with Utility Services Department, to help improve the Indian River Lagoon water quality by reducing excess nutrient loading to the lagoon. Newfound Harbor Drive is located within Zone T, a project approved by the Board of County Commissioners in the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Project Plan. This project will consist of constructing an Air-Vac Pump Station, vacuum and force main lines, lift station and sewer service connections.
The Girl Scout property located at 2250 Newfound Harbor Drive was identified as an ideal location for an Air-Vac Pump Station site. The parcel owner agreed to sell a portion of their property to assist with the project.
Fair market value was established by calculating the required square footage by the dollar per square footage from the appraisal report of Callaway & Price, Inc. dated November 23, 2020. The required square footage is 6,594 square feet with an adjusted amount of $46,200.00. At the owner’s request, an Addendum was incorporated into the contract modifying the inspection and evidence of title paragraphs wherein, at the Buyer’s request for the Seller to remedy any defects discovered, the Seller may choose to reject the request and terminate the Contract. If this were to occur, the deposit money shall be retained by the Buyer. The attached Contract for Sale and Purchase, and Addendum represents acceptable terms with the Seller.
The User Department approves this request. The Save Our Indian River Lagoon Project Plan specifically identifies septic to sewer conversions as a key component to reducing pollutant loadings to the Indian River Lagoon.
This acquisition follows the policies and procedures as set forth in Administrative Order 37.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Upon execution by the Chair, Public Works Department will contact the Clerk’s office to make arrangements to pick up the original executed Contract for Sale and Purchase with Exhibit and original executed Addendum.
