Summary

A representative of the Bob Myers Trust asked the board to allow a long-term lease or similar arrangement to address a small FEMA hazard mitigation tract that is surrounded by the trust's other properties; County Counselor Jake Conard recommended a lease that would transfer to future buyers.

Bert Kellum, representing the Bob Myers Trust, told the board that a small FEMA hazard mitigation property is landlocked inside larger parcels the trust owns and that potential buyers of the surrounding properties may be deterred by the isolated FEMA tract. Kellum said the trust expects to sell the surrounding properties and requested relief to reduce buyer concerns.

County Counselor Jake Conard recommended the board consider a long-term lease that would transfer to future buyers of the surrounding property, and said he could draft the necessary documents for the next meeting. The minutes record discussion of using a lease as a mechanism but do not show formal board action at this meeting.
