DESCRIPTION

The County’s Land Donation Program allows property owners to donate property to the County for which there is a need or use by the County.  Representatives for the owners of a parcel of land contacted the County and offered to donate the property to the County.  The property identified as Parcel ID Number 253114-000000-032010 is a vacant parcel, containing approximately 38-acres, to the north Fort Meade which is bisected by the Peace River.  County staff reviewed the property and determined that there is a use for the property for conservation preservation due to its proximity to the Peace River which is an environmentally sensitive water resource.  The owner of the property, The Eduward C. Stuart Foundation, Incorporated, has executed a Warranty Deed to the County for the conveyance of the property.  Accepting and approving the deed for recording will allow the County to take ownership of the property being donated to be utilized for conservation preservation.
