Committee flags mapping errors; questions 12.6-acre figure and shared 72-acre parcel
Summary
Committee members said parcel numbers in the conservation chapter do not match county mapping, questioned a 12.6-acre jurisdiction claim and examined a 72-acre parcel where Oak Hill is listed as a 33.3% owner with county and Saint John's, asking staff to verify records before finalizing the plan.
A committee member told colleagues the conservation chapter's acreage figures do not match county mapping and could not be located in the county's GSI system. "That 12.6, I don't think that exists," the member said after pulling parcel lists for the city.
Members spent significant time reviewing how shared partial ownership—one parcel was listed as 33.3% ownership of roughly 72 acres—should be counted in the city's open-space totals. The committee discussed whether the city could develop walkways or a boat ramp on the parcel after Saint John's completes a dredging project, but staff agreed to verify ownership records and partials with the county before any change to the plan.
