all to order our meeting with the turnbull creek preservation board. >> it's time for us to start our meeting. >> if you could please call the roll chair author and present vice chair weston PRESIDENT Member hartmann and welcome new members sullivan. >> PRESIDENT Thank you. >> let the record show that member werner is absent. >> that's the first item on our agenda is our public participation. I recognize those who have to bring something to our meeting. Anyone would like to speak. We ask that you simply give us your address and name. When you come up to the podium and you have three minutes. Would anybody like to address our board and discuss some ideas or things that you'd like to bring up to our attention? >> no one wants to talk to us. >> yeah. Hello. >> welcome, nick schultz. 1016 dylan circle. So dylan circle is a loop off of bay drive. So I just wanted to address without having all of the facts of the kayak launch just kind of wanted to express my personal concerns and the concerns of that I've discussed with my neighbors around us. First and foremost is the condition of the road both bay drive and dylan circle which would be somehow affected by increased traffic on bay drive. They're just going to be inhabitable to drive around dylan circle. So as it stands now me and evan is here and a couple of our other neighbors personally maintain the road at least from williams on the north side of bay from williams to the corner where bay turns around and dylan circle loops off of that. >> and then dylan circle itself I mean to the tune of probably $6,000 a year between the maybe three of us that contribute money and then four of us they contribute track to work. >> it's takes a lot to do especially in the rainy season right now. I mean it's it's in bad condition on the part that we're able to maintain. >> I don't think that from the corner of where bay and dylan meet on the east side down from there all the way down bay drive to where it meets pioneer trail. I don't think they have the means or the ability to maintain that road and so driving that road especially this time of year I mean it's there's probably three foot deep divisions and transitions in there. The other concern would be we have a increasing homeless population around there. We have. So I work I own to construction company so I leave early sometimes and come home late sometimes from work. And we've had a increasing amount of transit bicycle traffic up and down williams that we never had before. There's a on the corner of william owens and pioneer trail. There's a property there now that has a rv that seems like a permanent fixture now. And there's a lot of transient bicycle traffic in and out of that. I mean when I leave for work when I have a concrete pour at four in the morning is probably the busiest time for that bicycle traffic so you can gather from that if you will. >> and my concern would be if we put this park there that public access that would attract that same population in there. I know like in the river there's some homeless camps that kind of arise on the islands. They can be a little bit more secluded. My concern would be they would use that kayak launch to use as a home base to go from there out to the island and maybe make camp out there where they were. They would be on a uninterrupted more or it would be more difficult to get to them. So I think those are my major concerns and the foremost concern being the condition of the road. If we could answer the other questions and maybe figure out a way for the city or county to participate in that road maintenance, I don't think that I would have a huge problem with the kayak issue there but super. >> thank you. My concerns. >> all right. Thank you very much. Anyone else like to address the board? please state your name and your address please so that we have that for our records. >> when you get up to the microphone so that we have you on there. >> I am done. Paulette brewer 850 bay drive. Okay. >> I'm trying to keep up with what's already been one of my concerns is I bought property on that side of the road three houses south of where you are the flooding that happens and it doesn't have to be hurricane flooding. >> it can be we just just this last the northeaster that clogged up everything when they talk about the storm surge. >> everybody thinks the beach but this community experience a storm surge. >> we are like our own little environment when everybody else is in the 38 degrees in the morning and we're in the 28 degrees in the morning just we're just a pocket in that in includes the property you're on. >> but what I wanted to talk about was that every property owner on the creek side actually owns all the way to the middle of the main channel . >> the best map I've found of that is through the property appraiser's office on the on the online and it shows everybody's how far out and they actually have the island that they island or islands that they own have a property number that affixes to the main part of their property. >> so by doing this you're exposing them to I was me at one point them to people having access to their backyard. You know we all worry about our front yard but for them it's going to expose them in their backyard. Years ago I came home from work one day and two little girls on a canoe were out there trying to write my horse. I mean that's just things that happened. >> we had boat motors stolen out of the backyard. We've had things happen. So where your property is they have to cross a couple other properties to get out to a place. Has anybody been out there? >> mm hmm. Oh, so yeah, you have. >> have you been out there in the last month? Yeah. Oh my GOD. >> you've mentioned the road that that's a deterrent for people actually to be out there. >> but I really wanted to talk about how you're going to expose the people and it's not just down there but when you get up into the dillon circle area there on the main channel. >> so if the people make it to the main channel with their vessel there are right there at their back doors. >> I know it's public. I mean rick perry and rights and all that stuff and people have the right to use that stuff. >> but I don't know what what the solution is. And the other thing is that at low tide I wouldn't get in that water at all. >> so that's all I have to say. Thanks for anyone else would like to speak to us. This is if you'll state your name and your address for us. >> my name is everett brewer and I'm at 850 bay drive for over 30 years. This is two houses down from me. You just heard my wife. What are the concern about is on bay drive? >> we own to the center of the road and there's no government grading or anything like that. So by allowing these people to come in on private property, shouldn't we get some kind of relief for maintaining the road that they're tearing up and that's pretty much because we do on to the middle of the road. So they're driving on private property to get to the city for . >> thank you. Thank you. I thank you for coming. >> yeah, thanks for having us. Evan doyle live at 1001 039 dillon circle. I've lived out there for about 15 years. My wife has lived there for about 40 years on dillon circle so we've been there for a while. >> I echo everybody's concerns quality of the road potential increased criminal activity. And the one thing I can speak to is since I've been on dillon circle I've really tried to engage the city and the county to try to get some sort of assistance out there because we are very much on our own in terms of maintaining the property which I understand it's a private road but I think a lot of us have experienced very quick denial with any help and any assistance from the city or the county. And so I think we would certainly like to see some sort of assistance with the road. Most of us seem like we're not fully opposed to the idea of recreation although when this was originally voted on it wasn't billed as a recreational opportunity was billed as a conservation opportunity. So I'm not going to call it a bait and switch but certainly we're here for a different reason than what was initially intended. But as homeowners in this area and myself and nick again being a few of the people that help maintain the road, it's quickly getting to the point where we are financially not able to continue to maintain the road and certainly down the bay drive and it's it's getting worse and worse to the point where if I was on bay I'd be concerned about emergency services responses and things like that. So I think there's some work that can be done. I think there's a partnership opportunity here but we would certainly like to see the city step up and make it to where we as a community are benefiting as a result. >> terrific. Thank you. Is your property county or city? >> so I have both. I have a property that's in the county and I have a property that's in the city there. They're contiguous. Mm hmm. But we have one parcel that's agricultural where we keep our cows and then we the our home is is in the city and we've been in the city since 2015. >> and I actually did pass out something that has information on how to annex into the city because it's been a benefit to us. Our taxes have gone down. We've seen better services with the city in terms of law enforcement and then also just pulling permits and stuff like that. >> a lot easier to deal with the city than the county. Thank you. Great. Thank you. >> all right. Hi. Welcome. Hi. My name charlie collins 1059 dillon circle. >> I spoke to this gentleman here a couple of days ago and he was telling me that you will have more like 3 million left to buy properties. He also told me I'm not looking to buy our properties. Is that is that true? So you're not going to buy our properties? >> not unless you want to sell them. Okay. I'll sell it to you for the right price. I don't have a problem with that. but we have order and you have a park over there and I spoke to him about that. Why aren't you using that? Why don't you make that the long term? Why would you bring them in right in our neighborhood? >> I mean I don't understand that. Would you allow that? I don't think I would. You know I live on the corner down there at the point. Now here's another problem you're going to have to address and I hope maybe you address it or you all look at it. But the boats hall asked on that place I live on the corner. I now have a sandbar over here right out my sliding glass doors in the house because they come around here so fast they don't see the other people coming around that point and there's going to be a bad accident and one of these kayakers is going to eat it. >> so it's something needs to be looked at. I'm all about the roads. I quit doing the roads while ago because it's just too expensive and then everybody wants to ditch how you do the road so I don't do it. But kayakers, you need to look at law enforcement needs to come in there. >> I've never seen no law enforcement in there on the canals so I mean never unless there's an emergency or something like that a plane goes down or something like that. >> but those were my questions. I just need to know for sure because you know, you're one thing and then something else is done. >> so down the road they change their mind well, we want to do this well, we want to do that. >> you know, it's just like in an annex in and I because now I don't see the point but why not use the other park? >> I've why would you come into that neighborhood when you got it on order you got paved roads, daughter. And I'm definitely big on on the roads being fixed so those are my concerns. >> noted. Thank you. >> anyone else? Hello for having us. >> my name is john laureano live at 641 bay drive. >> I'd like to show you my phone. There's no gas around this. That's a coquina rock. That's about 700 pounds that last week somebody coming around the corner hit to knock that off its foundation. People are speeding going way too fast. We have forces down our street. >> you guys are right down our street. >> somebody is going to get killed. >> hopefully it's not one of your guys is kids. That's all I got to say. >> thank you for very often for that back. >> anyone else, any other any speakers and to . >> good afternoon. I'm tom copper and I live at 1069 golden circle. I actually lived at 1016 before i moved around the circle. >> you've got a few things that you got to keep in mind because if you are going to do that and you're going to have to help maintain the roads and everything else since I've lived out there we used to have hurricanes. You know what happens? You know I'm 40 some years. I have 44 years we've been out there and hurricanes used to be out here and they'd come through and maybe we'd get two feet of water. That's it. Now with all the developments that's been going on west of us, it all in coming into the creek itself and also from the sugar mill and down in the side where the bridges coming off the williams I can tell you what when I built this house I built it above the standards are supposed to be brought in 101 hundred truckloads or the large truckloads of shell and dirt and and everything to build the house and get it up way above the standards. Well, when I first built that house 20 some years ago, I lived on it before it a double wide. It would only come up maybe 2 or 3ft up in the creek on that side. And now like when he and ian came through in the last storm after that came through it was almost five feet high. Now another thing you got to take in consideration I'm on really the higher side but I'm on where the drain goes down past it and empties into the creek. Now if you're going to maintain these roads and everything else and you've got to be careful if you're going to build on them too because there is don't drive all the way it gets flooded over sometimes 4 or 5ft in different places. So that's something you keep in consideration also because you know, it's not like a regular area because you know it flooded clear all the way up into wayne avenue up by the golf course and such. >> it never used to do that. You know, it just we've just built so much and that used to be land and would absorb the water and everything else and now it's got no place to want to run that away and most of it from 44 and west of us it all runs towards the creek and it's just something taking consideration and I am also concerned about the safety for and different people coming into the area. >> if you do make that a kayak place and you just built a really nice one of us one just the other day that's that's a beautiful place and it's great fishing up in that area too. But you know just keep in mind that everything that you are going for that there's going to be a lot for you to bite off and and it's really a very unsafe for different issues. And thank you. Thank you. >> thank you. I did see someone else wanting to come up. Yes. >> good afternoon. >> thomas overstreet 19 64 jungle road. I have the 17 acres here that's just south of the larger parcel that you guys purchased back in about 2019 2020 I believe. You guys made an offer on my property. You previously purchased property on jungle road in between highway 44 seven and a half acres. It's right the tn turnbull creek. Three and a half acres of that seven is underwater and in the creek you guys paid $109,000 an acre for that $106,000 an acre. And then recently in JULY you purchased 1.65 acres directly across the street from my property for $200,000. That's $90,900 an acre. You guys made an offer a lowball offer on my property at $50,000 an acre and I'd like to sell the property to you but you've got to come up and pay a reasonable price for it. This property MAY solve all your problems. I'm directly across from that larger parcel that would give you access to the creek from my property. It's also set up like a park like setting. So if you guys want to consider I've submitted my offer to tony of a of a counteroffer and I haven't heard anything back. So I'm waiting to hear back from you if I don't hear anything. I do have developers have 17 acres as prime property people are calling me to buy it. I originally bought the property in 2015. I was going to set it up to have music festivals. I started a tree farm back in there and I'm wanting to be for the city use but again I have to sell it to the highest and best use. So if you guys don't want to do it then I don't have another choice and I'm not going to sell it to a lowball offer. So if you'll reconsider, I'm all ears. >> okay. Which parcels is that? Is it off? >> it's off of mission. No, sorry. Which was which parcel were 17 1964 jungle road. >> it's 117. Okay. >> there's an article on the front page of hometown news to my surprise that you guys wanted to buy my property. So you put that out there to try to quell everybody that's in here complaining about the properties that you're buying that you don't want to get serious about my property. >> why is that? >> thank you so much for your time and take a look at it. Thank you. Anyone else? >> I'm johnny dale. I live at 659 bay drive and I echo the same concerns as everybody that's been up here road maintenance park is built hypothetically. What is that going to bring into how much traffic? Where are they going to enter? >> I live off of pioneer side of bay drive and the road is in horrible shape on a regular basis even though we did have a guy that does drag it forth and I just put in $1,000 with the shell and it's gone from the last to rain so it's it's something that we I feel that we need to understand how the city is going to work on bay drive, what kind of traffic we can expect based on your guys's analysis because it's not going to be easy. I don't think and half of bay and dillon is in the city the other half is in the county so that proposes another issue. So we're not all in the city and I hopefully you guys can come up with a solution. Let us know what you're going to do sooner than later possible. >> thank you. Thank you . >> lisa hoffman 745 bay drive. My husband and I have a and our family have lived on bay drive for about two years now and we've seen the road get increasingly worse condition even just this year than it has been before. >> so I just want to reiterate what everyone else here has said which is the road is a major concern and bringing in more traffic on the road is just going to exacerbate that already poor condition of it as well as putting the increasing the maintenance burden on the private owners for public access to this property. So I think you know, from a pragmatic standpoint I'd like to know what the city can do to help bridge that gap and to help, you know, resolve the issue of the the road maintenance and also provide the owners on the road with a better understanding of what what the property's going to be used for and how it would be maintained. I wasn't even didn't even think about the concerns that people said about homeless people. But I think that's a valid one especially given that it's an isolated property in the midst of private property. And so there is an act currently there is no police presence out there because it's private property and so I think if if annexation is the way to get the road issue resolved and get the police enforcement that's needed to ensure everyone's safety, then we would like the city to take the lead on you know, on on those efforts and getting the property owners out there to have that opportunity to an extent so that all of these issues can be addressed together with, you know, a collaborative discussion on the use of the property. The other thing I'd like to add is you know, we have a son with special needs. My we are worried about, you know, being emergency services being able to get to us and my husband contacted the county about it and they said it's the city, it's the city's responsibility to maintain the road and to make sure that the the the vehicles can get to an emergency response can get to you and as it stands now, you know, we don't really have a clear answer from the city as to whether anything will be done. >> so we would like that information. Thank you. Are you are the nsp utilities? >> we are and we're on the city trash to the city picks up our trash. >> they don't pick up the recycling anymore but they did and we have utilities out there through the city. So yeah, I mean I feel like we're we're we're on city services but we're not getting the full benefit of the city is support and maintenance. >> so I think that's where we'd like and as you guys know this property is right in the middle of the city. I mean this isn't on the outskirts. This is at the very heart of new smyrna and so we just like you know, to have the same support and protections as the rest of the residents of the city do. >> thank you. Thank you . >> good afternoon. Steve gunter 140 temple street. I'm on the canal but my mother in law and her twin sister are 94 and they live right there on dillon circle and I'm their daily I got to say the term will creek land preservation should stay preservation. >> I think they need to take that property plan it out with a lot of florida indigenous plants put some more trees in there, let the wildlife come in there and take over nest, leave that shoreline so that all the marine habitat can be much healthier and as one gentleman and you guys have no control over but I plan on getting a hold of the f c w in those other marine departments because the boat traffic in there is horrendous and there's baby manatees and whatnot and they just use it as a playground and it's just destroying the bank along the terminal creek there. >> but if you plant that out and actually keep it preservation as your title claims, I think you'll make everybody a lot happier and that bay drive for sure right now because I was there yesterday and it it's like a motorcycle crash track or something yeah I mean you could even go down through there on a motorcycle it's so bad and surely if emergency had to respond they don't have a hard time coming off pioneer trail and going down that road. I suggest any of you try to drive down through there with your car right now and it's just you'd be bottoming out in areas so anyway please just keep it a preservation. >> thank you. Thank you. Anyone else seeing no one else out there that wants to speak to us today we will continue with our workshop topics. I'm going to point over to staff comments on any all right. The primary purpose of today is to get general feedback on what you want to see if anything on all the 250 acres that we've bought throughout terminal properties. >> so that's working all right . We'll stand at the podium and thanks tony . >> so before we open the floor for comments as to what you would like to see done on the other properties, we basically will brief history of the program how we got here and where we go from here. >> so let's turn to race properties which were between jungle road and pioneer trail. >> they were the primary impetus of getting the whole bond issue passed. 2016 developer came in, wanted to develop 400 lots on this property and everybody went up in arms and wanted to stop it. So there were many workshops and discussions on how to stop this development and the consensus was that the best way to do it would be for the city to purchase the property. >> so that evolved into a resolution and to create the bond referendum and basically as you can read on there the commission determined that the development of long term bull creek has the potential to pollut w the waters of the creek and downstream waters, eliminate wildlife habitat and natural areas . So the commission that resolution passed and it went on the board you know the election in NOVEMBER 2018 and it passed 75% to 25%. So the actual language of the bond referendum again was to protect the water quality by preventing pollution in turnbull creek and downstream waters and to preserve wildlife habitat and natural areas from development. The city would purchase properties with $15 million worth about. >> so not surprisingly the very first purchase that was made after the bond referendum passed was the turnbull trees properties and AUGUST 2019 and it was purchased in cooperation with the florida communities trust. They provided about 4.5 million out of the $9 million purchase price and as conditions of their contribution there were four things that they wanted to have done. They wanted to sign recognizing their contributions recreational facility is at least two recreational facilities such as picnicking wildlife observation on previously disturbed land water access. They wanted to provide a water access facility to an existing open water shoreline and they wanted trails at least a half mile on the bridge on the site . >> they also wanted the area linked land based to other land based recreation trails. They wanted connectivity to neighborhoods and interpretive signing and of course preserving and enhancing the locally significant strategic habitat conservation where possible they wanted water quality to not affect the surrounding areas and actually if possible to improve flooding issues developed and managed to ensure that any historical, cultural and archeological features are preserved. There are not really anything to speak of out there and to coordinate management with the adjacent highland park and for this to be part of an ecological corridor . >> so subsequent after closing the purchase the city went ahead and allowed the expansion of the holland golf this course into part of the property so that it's a legitimate full 18 hole course before it was I think nine and you had to play it twice from different tee boxes to get the 18 holes the city did build an observation platform on turnbull creek off of the multi-use trail. It is strictly observation and fishing and has no access to be able to get in the water and they established or maintained a roughly 690 foot hiking trail what I refer to as a lollipop and they installed the required signage. >> so in total since 2019 we have purchased 251.6 acres everything in red there are the properties that have been purchased through the bond referendum during all the workshops and everything leading up to the bond referendum I could find no discussions whatsoever about what to do with these properties after they were purchased. >> it was totally every question that I could find in response was dealing with how do we stop terminal trees? >> so because of that we have no clear guidance as to what to do with these properties. Now we bought them which is a big part of the purpose of this workshop today. So after we purchased the property we annexed them into the city. we changed the zoning which has been typically residential and or commercial to conservation and future land use to conservation and we are developing management plans for the properties which your feedback today will help us do so shane's with us today to discuss what can and cannot be done on conservation zoned land . All right, good afternoon. Shane corbin with development services. Tony's got a couple of slides here that aren't necessarily verbatim from the code as far as permitted uses and special exceptions but in general it's pretty accurate that these properties that are zoned conservation and can not be developed. You can you can have passive recreation, you can have parks, you can have trails and boardwalk and things of that nature but the only type of residential development that will ever be allowed on these would be for a park ranger and we don't have a park ranger with the city that we would build a house for on on any of these so really the the uses are extremely limited once we down zoning and then I don't know that we have an established process for or what if we did want to do something what would that process be and maybe that's something that we need to talk about. Maybe there needs to be a recommendation from you all to the city commission at which point then there's a debate at the city commission about whether to move forward with the project or not. You know, we don't think we've got that in place but maybe that's a maybe that's something we need to bring to the city commission to formalize so that there's a public process and people can make sure that they feel like they're informed, the neighbors know what's going on and things of that nature and I think that's all I've got to say about that. Okay . So a couple of basic land management concepts is land in florida cannot just be left alone as one of our members mentioned, he's been out of town for a couple of months . He came home and found his whole yard to be a jungle and natural lands are no different. You don't manage natural lands they turn into weed infested palmetto patches. Other plants get crowded out. You lose biodiversity and you lose wildlife habitat. >> and as with any areas not just natural areas the best way to discourage undesirable people from a piece of property is to make it easier for desirable people to be on the property so we're opening it up to all now. In general, what types of activities would you like to see on the acquired lands? >> okay with that thank you very much for that presentation. >> it kind of spells it out. >> I open it up to the board. Well we we need to maintain the lands ecologically get rid of the invasive species, get rid of the danger of fire, make sure that the water quality is as high as it can be. That's obviously the number one before we ever get to any kind of recreational uses and where we how are we going to pay for that and that's that's my number one priority is how do we protect the land that 75% of our citizens voted to protect awesome great town. I'll go ahead and take notes for this one. Maintenance of the property is a number one I am concerned about the fire hazard as you all are aware, florida sent us to the fire team to come in and cut some brake lines into some of these areas. I don't know did we go all the way up to bay drive into that section or not? >> how far did that fire break actually could? >> we did not the fire break was just along the west side of turnbull creek along basically linda road up to the building of the multi-use trail. Okay so it went from 44 south down berrimah they opened that one up right then it went north of 44 well we did the the former minton properties between 44 and jungle road okay and then we did from jungle road north to the multiuse trail but nothing further north than holland park nothing further north because north of that is the river on the west end of our property and that's the best fire break out there. Okay. >> randy, do you have anything to say about this? no. I like all of the ideas that you've just put on the table here on the slide. >> when we originally started talking about this, part of the things was also for educational uses. I thought we could partner with, you know, some of the either stetson or some of the other colleges to do some environmental classes, some you know, ecological classes, that sort of thing. So we've always had that in the back of our mind was to open it up for educational purposes. You know, even just school trips for kids, you know. So that was always something that we talked about, you know, when we started this whole project. So you know, there's a lot of things that we've done here but along with chip, you know, my concern is was the funding is going to come from and is the city going to continue to fund it because once you start you can't just stop. >> so all right. So funding for what maintenance funding for turning it into a park, funding for keeping the undergrowth down maintenance of the road. >> yeah. You have to manage the park, the property. I mean you're going to have to go in and you know, make sure that the dead trees are cleared out and the underbrush is kept down, you know, so that the wildlife can flourish and then also, you know, access to to and from so has this board previous we reached out to the department of interior and seen if we can get grant matching as a municipality under the national park service they have a section that allows funding for things like this especially if it's conservation lands. I know you have mentioned previously that the department of agriculture turned into a no go but have we specifically looked under the department of interior? >> we have and we have a grants coordinator with the city whose sole job is finding grants so he's aware of all of them out there and we find new ones all the time but we turn them over to him. The matching funds are the toughest part. Yeah and especially depending on what happens on NOVEMBER 3rd. >> okay. So that has been something that's been pursued. Yes. Something else is that we qualify because the term mill creek is a nationally recognized historic site. We qualify for funding as a national park service so that helps with keeping maintenance on on the firebreaks and and clearing debris. It can also qualify us for signage and things to recognize the historic site as it is and also works with educational environmental educating people about what the term creek and foliage around it or for so pursuing more of the funding through national park service I think is should be a top priority for finding funding again adult depends on what happens after amendment three and as I pointed out the last two meetings we need to really focus on finding funding sources and not rely on general budget. Everybody's tapping that same general budget and matching funds. We'd be looking at multiple years out until we fall to the top and be able to get any natural matching funds out of general budget. We need to find private private funds for private investors, private businesses, individuals organizations that are willing to contribute to natural resources that could then be used as the matching funds for state federal grants. >> what are the benefits? This occurred already is in relation to cleaning the creek out for better water flow and for stormwater we probably have more areas that we need to to clean out and we have maintenance on a continuing basis. >> do we need to go further with a potential partnership with the county and the state regarding that? Is that something that we can look at in terms of of another partnership or even another workshop with the state with the county? I would definitely work and turn that over to public works. They've been pretty much responsible for the the creek cleaning and I know that y'all are getting ready to work on the railroad bridge area up there. They're getting ready. you mean fec is actually going to get in there and clean it? The epa, our public works. I'll let david explain. >> hi, david. Hello. Yeah, so we are moving forward right now. We did a we have a study that's been done for the turnbull trussell and the bridge and we are having a survey done once we get that complete then we can take that and start getting the proper permits. >> we've had preliminary discussions and all the different parties that we need are are in favor of it so we feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to get all the permitting but that's going to be the longest stage. But as soon as we get the surveys done that will dictate to us exactly the what project and how much we're going to remove what with what depth and whatnot. So we'll know a lot more as soon as they get those surveys back. >> okay. So is there is that going to be in coordination with abc because it was there? >> MS. It's it's going to be we're going to get approval to work in and around their tracks and they're not contributing and at this time not no the you know, the flood projection is are not great even the conservative ones and the new the new I-95 interchange pioneer is definitely going to create mrae traffic opportunities probably for stormwater. >> does that fit into anything that we're talking about right now in terms of bridge height? We're doing the bridge opening up the channel and all that. >> bringing up the bridge height definitely helps. >> it helps us get our get the machinery in there that we're going to need in order to do the cleaning and have our contractor do the cleaning in there so definitely helps with the bridge that was redone for us. >> I'm just wondering if anything that the state and the federal government are doing in terms of the I-95 interchange comes all the way out to where we're talking about if there's any benefit to us, I'd have to look a little more deeper into that to get I don't want to just speculate. >> good. But just in terms of traffic management when when this the federal government that is something that puts more traffic on a on a local road they have some obligation. >> absolutely and thank you. >> do we have any sort of estimate as to how much we think it's going to cost for just bas property maintenance for these properties we've acquired on an annual basis? >> we do know based on what the county does and such it runs about $50 an acre. It's going to be a little higher this first year because we have to buy equipment and stuff because we have nothing. We're starting from from zero. But yeah, we're and I am actually meeting with contractor on friday morning to look at some areas to start some restoring areas back to flatlands that have completely overgrown with onerous what areas it's the south part of turnbull creek. There was a fire that went through in 2022 and there's a nice firebreak around the whole thing that makes a great trail but the inside of that has grown back with sachs foot tall solar panels and cabbage palms so thick you can't walk through it. So if you look back in the 1940s aerials, 40s, early 50s that entire turn well the 90% of the turnbull trace property was flatlands and what we see now as a result of fire suppression over the last 80 years and that's the southern section yes that vernon road no the southern section of turnbull trace okay between there and jungle the invasive species removal once you do it the first time is there less maintenance after that? Unfortunately not. Not with brazilian pepper. Yeah. And I'm also talking with them on how they can help with exotic species. The best way to get rid of is are in pepper you know you can go in there in hand clear but that is ridiculously intensive is to just go in there with a forest rim culture and mulch it down to nothing mark the stems that you want to treat beforehand once you mulch it and treat them right away with herbicide and hopefully they don't come back no hopefully usda offers us some benefit in invasive species. Are we still in conversation with them? >> I am and they have absolutely nothing for us. Everything usda has is for private property owners, not for government entities. >> so if we're adjacent to private property that we could turn the private property owners on to we could for the adjacent properties. Yes. Okay. But they are again primarily looking at agricultural interest that is the usda and many of our properties that are adjacent to us are residential to maximum five acre but mostly smaller residential. Can I change the subject and point to this list that you have up there now of general ways we can use this land and it points out to me b leases I know that up on the north end there was a beekeeper, a commercial beekeeper who kept his beehives up there. He also maintained the property that he was on. I don't know that he had a lease with anyone other than the owner of the property and I think that was a relative. But is that a possibility that we can open up some of these areas for a beekeeper to bring in large amounts of beehives in this actually on the list there? >> I see that it is, yes. Because I wanted to see the looking for bee in a bee leases and also to contract out supplemental very during season rather than just having people out there picking them illegally you can actually contract it have somebody go out there and pay us so much a pound or flat rate for having the right to go out and harvest no, no not at the north area over by these big bay drive people and that would be ideal for your section because something that is one of my favorite crops that comes out of a bee hive it's a very useful honey and they sell a lot of it and it's one of the few crops left in that region that hasn't been developed out as the ones in state road 44. So that is a high priority in my list. Can you explain to me what two top lots are that would be just like small playgrounds whether we want to do anything like that on any of the properties most obviously would be the former minton property. You have residential area right there with no there are no park amenities you know in that neighborhood. It was built prior to that kind of stuff going in. So would we be interested in yow know the top lots are just like the little single structure with sliding kind of stuff not a great big complex and that would be I think allowable under a conservation scientific research monitoring that one also catches my eye because I know the marine discovery center has a very large group of volunteers and I know that they do these bird watching activities. They have groups that assemble together and go out and clear up shorelines and and do studies on fish out there and they also have a dog parks or adult camp where you go for a day and that's they serve lunch and they have everybody out in there and do some cleaning that would also be a good passive use for a lot of those lands that the terrible trees property or even further up that would be just getting with marine discovery center I talked with chad pretty frequently. >> I believe that there's enough land here that we could work with them as well as the one in daytona. That's another group that has a large amount of volunteers to do that. >> there's also a volunteer program that I've just found out about with the national park service again and the point is back to the national and the national park service because you know, eyey they have a lot of retirees that that's what they want to do spend some time learning some history, local history as well as not being able to get on a bus or a train to go somewhere . They want to do something locally that would be a real key place for them and is in that as well as far as hiking and hiking trails, I think we can work with what's already there with the highland park and volition county you know volition county echoes local grants are still I believe available. >> I think they still are they are again matching funds for the issue and for the there are a good number of as we've discussed a good number of existing trails out on the terminal trace property especially the north part and they can easily be reopened and actually made legitimate trails again they will require about 900,000 to $1 million worth of boardwalks to make them for season trails. Right now they are dry season trails if you go out there like if you went out there this past JANUARY through MARCH you could walk the entire trail and keep your feet dry. By the end of MARCH your feet were getting wet. You go out there now you're getting up to the giggles. Go. I don't know. >> I'm like, oh, they have this water on park, not on our roads. >> what what do you want your opinion what do you think you can do? Can you get with the county and the city because you both own stuff out there and your tax on us I mean what are we doing with our roads? >> well if we're just I mean important thing for us, you know all this other stuff as well we don't care. We just want to know what we're doing on bay drive, what we're doing on dylan circle. >> if you go out there our street signs are not even any good but we get taxed for it but we don't have good street signs. We don't have stop signs proper stop signs all the trees are going to need to be trimmed back so that the fire trucks can get down our roads and I mean that's what I want to hear about and I just want to hear that now that you told me oh no, we're not going to buy yeah, you're good. >> you're good. You know we don't want your properties. I'm good with that. But I hear nothing about the roads and unfortunately most of that you talked about maybe getting a motivator in there and and take all the stuff, put it up in the center of roads and then it was up to us the boss right. That's what you had spoken to me about the the potential that at some point and if anything happens out there we can do that. The problem with it being a private drive with private road is we have no authority to be out there and regarding the signs and stuff even as far as signage because it's a private road it might be private and now you're not make it private. It is still it's crossed the line on private it's not private. It's public because now the public is coming in to the private roads. Officers cannot come on our roads unless we follow them on our roads. >> but now fwc should be maintaining the water the back of my yard. >> correct where I have I told you I have a sandbar. Okay. And on that sandbar every weekend there's plenty of people back in their boats that don't bother me. >> what bothers me is a speeding boats because they literally I've got videos of the boats going around the corner but I want to know about the road. >> what can we do about the road? What are your thoughts on the road? I know you had said something but I heard nothing else about the road and that is your main concern. >> unfortunately the roads are outside of the purview of this committee. >> it is where the purpose of this workshop is to get feedback on what we could do on these properties and what you would like to see. And as I've discussed with many of you at this point we're not doing anything out there on that property. It is going to be restored. It's going to be replanted. We've got a number of trees coming out there of wetland and up on the purpose for buying the property was ecological restoration and if we can do more to it more with it that is something that would have to be studied in the future and determine how many people would first determine the need for whether it justifies the cost and parking and all that stuff. >> so know about what you want to do right? Do the roads before you do it, not just do it. I mean we would like to be informed understand? >> and in a letter sent to us properly so everybody knows and everybody you've got time to come to the meetings or whatever they are especially when they're in the middle of day and you can't even find a parking lot in your parking lot that's pretty bad, you know? >> but I mean the roads are my main concern. I just like to know what they're going to do when they're going to do now are you only going to do it from binder trail to your lot? Are you going to try to maintain the whole area until we invite people onto that property, we've not going to be doing anything more than any other property owner along there. >> all right. All right. Thanks so but as good neighbors, if we if we're going to be good neighbors, we are going to be good neighbors. We're not going to be, you know, leaving you out in the in the in the area with that I mean we're going to be good stewards of the land we own near it and that's what you could count on and as far as the city notifying you of future plans to to help with maintenance, I'm sure the city is going to send out something to let you know. >> well, as long as they're no longer in a similar situation on page avenue and right now we're dealing with all these new sewer lines going in or drainage lines going in not sewer drainage lines and the dust is outrageous and the rebels are getting worse and you know, that's a private road and that's what we we kept it that way because we didn't want the thoroughfare going all the way through page so that's something you get to take up with the city because most of it's in the city. The city, you know, would would work with you to who do you get you know, how do you get them filled in? What do you do with it and I'm only kidding city council and it's over everybody. >> so the county and the city you know, they never need to pull their heads together and try to figure it out and all the trees that need to be trimmed both sides of the road and you know it really would pay y'all really good if you all drove out there right now and looked at the roads and looked at the streets. You know we maintain ours down here having them drag the roads so we from bay off of williams we're pretty good other than potholes but you go the other way and eventually they're going to start getting stuck. >> but it would pay her to come out there and really look and get an idea of what's going on. Sure there's not going to be anything happening for a little while. I mean for right now we just need to figure out where we are with the properties we've we've kept out of development which was the key in all of this just to keep these properties out of development and making this land available for public use eventually we didn't know where we were going to go with it three years ago the city gave us the options and what do we do next and that's where we're at now and it's taken since 2018 to get where we are today. >> so just because as long as we're informed that we no longer and we'll keep you informed, we will not then you're out a game plan or sure you know thank you. >> thank you. >> but if I could could I ask david to come back up for a minute? But thanks david. Could you enlighten us a little bit on what the process would be in order for to bring that road into the city's maintenance system in terms of like what would be needed to look like they are or typically my experience would be the road would have to bring be brought up to certain specifications by a private community before the city would accept it and then begin to maintain it. And we're talking probably several million dollars to bring that road up to it's going to take I mean going down there if you as as everyone in the audience have said if you if you drive through it, you can see the shape that it's in right now. So similar to what we would do when a county road gets turned over to the city, we asked the county that it's got to be brought up to a certain standard and then we will take it from there and maintain it from there through our isp a that we have an agreement with the county for for taking on different roads. A private road is is is a little different in terms of turning it over to the city it needs to have everyone on that road essentially needs to agree to turn it over to the city and as a pass through I think there's a couple of different resolutions and ordinances to kind of take over that road to I believe I'd have to double check. So don't quote me 100% on that but I think that's the what it would need to be done. >> and then as shane alluded to ,the road road would need to be brought up to a specific standard to for the city to maintain. >> but the residents have to approach the city first all in agreeance that they want to turn the road over to the city. Yes ma'am. That would that would make you make the residents on bay drive and the circle get together and produce a request to the city to relinquish private ownership of the road to the city for that to begin. >> is that correct? Yes, ma'am. Okay. They would have to deed the right away to the city. Correct. So everybody would have to go and deed it whatever portion they own create the city or right away for the city to do that. And then if it's over 50% it would be the cities. If not it's shared by the city and the county. It's a county road tecause most of that property is in the county. >> right. So even then then you'd have to get the county to come out and maintain it right if they needed it to the county. So yeah unless it would be annexed at all then yeah. So but the residents would have to request an fixation on the parcels that they are on for buried for bay drive. >> yeah they'd have to request the annexation and then and then deed that right away over to the city once they were annexed and to city they could all give up part of their private property the right of way and then at that point it could be maintained by so then it truly is a public road then it would be a public city road. >> yep. >> okay. So the audience heard that just making sure this is all public records that you guys understand that's what it would take to to fix the road under the city and what you'd have to do the procedure you'd have to do to get it fixed. >> I want to get it into the city to be fixed. >> okay. So that would be the residents have to have to form and and just like they said you'd have to deeded over to the city did your portion over to the city or to the county and so that it can get brought in just as he explained he knows the answers to these questions and can actually provide some guidance on you're like okay I need you to speak in the microphone if you're going to just a clarification I just want to cash in on that. >> sure. I think what would be helpful from the concerns you've heard here today would be for us to understand who at the city is responsible for this process and can a meeting or some type of communication be established with that person so that we can have a clear path of how we need to move forward in order to resolve the issue that you've heard so much about today. Can I turn that over to you to have sure we can set up a meeting with probably david, myself and city engineer but yeah, it's it's a long process. >> it's not something that would happen quickly. >> I understand that but I think the big issue is really going to be the cost to bring the road up to a standard to where it could be brought into our maintenance system that's going to be very expensive. >> okay. Well I think the what we're looking for is the plan of action and how do we move forward on this with the city so that we can understand what needs to be done in order to resolve the issue with the road and have the city take over the meet and some I mean I think that's really what everyone here is looking for. So that's why I'm asking for whoever or if I can get your contact information I'd just put it all in an email for you and lay it out step by step. >> think that happened that he even at that if if more than 50% of the land is not annexed into the city it's still a county road so you'd have to go through the whole same process with the county. >> but my understanding is that a 51% and extending the road the city takes over maintenance of the road. That's what I thought the in our local agreement was. So what's the well I guess what if you had 51% of the land owners annexed into the city then you could take the process of needing the right of away to the city for the road. >> okay. Road maintenance. Yeah. So it's a two step process and when was this 2000. I was the the city sent us invitation to jackson. >> yeah that's right and that they said yeah once you annexed in so annexing is the key there is the first step as you go to annex and you'll save money in anything I mean I did but I mean that's just me but we annex in and you get then you don't have to get into land going to sachs is 30 minutes to drive over and 30 minutes back it's an hour of your day and then we have to sit in that meeting so it's advantageous to be annexed into the city and I think we are just looking for who if we take that step and who is the appropriate person to work with that the city on the next started meeting with the engineering department and and this guy think I'm confused when we signed off for the public easement now we have to deed the property not your property just the road part I mean that's what I mean the easement now we have to read the we all signed back in the 80s and made that a public easement. So there is an easement even though but it's not in the next into the city unless unless you are already annexed. No I'm not. >> okay well then that's the that's the second part of that. So then say this house is annexed to that road is already gone to see that that's not computing with me the easement that you're talking about is an ingress egress utility drainage easement that all of the property owners along the road sign back in I think was 79 or something like that granting, you know, access to all the property owners and the public to use that road and but it is completely silent as far as maintenance entities or how maintenance has to be done on the on the easement it only grants them ingress, egress and the right to run utilities and such. Okay that was that clarified. Yeah okay. We have questioned all it it's our workshop. This is this is not a final it's it's still final but it's a workshop. No I get it and I understand that we're talking about a small part of a larger issue but obviously we're here and now that the city has really no intention to do anything with the property on bay drive for the time being and that it's still the homeowner's responsibility to maintain the road which I get. >> but I would also like to welcome you to our neighborhood as owners of property on bay drive. So therefore the expectations should be that you all now being owners of that property share in the responsibility of taking care of the road as it is currently our responsibility. >> so an inconvenient fact but again it's a great neighborhood. I'm glad you guys are now a part of it. And david, unfortunately you can leave the keys to the motor grader and we'll take care of it as you. But you know, again, like this is now your problem too. Sure. And we'll be okay. I just wanted to make sure that doesn't get glossed over while you know, the desire to not do anything I'm sure is there congratulations you bought property so now you get to take care of it. >> thank you. And we will we will do our part to be good neighbors. I'm sure you'll you'll see if we are part of it. We're a part of it. >> but I'm wondering what you think can happen to this land. This is what the workshop's about. Want your opinion from this last you see a picture of all the different things that can go on it. So I'm not for big even myself willing going off of that exactly it's going to take money to maintain these roads. >> the fact that you're doing it yourself it's coming in much cheaper than if you were to hire someone to come in with that kind of equipment and do this regularly. >> so then that leads us to what ralph was talking about of how are we going to fund this and how are we going to continue to fund this especially by not knowing quite where things are going to end up with the most recent ballot and what what can we do to look for funds? It sounds like we really need focus on things that are different than matching funds to be able to create more options with the land that has been acquired is that correct? >> that's true. Keep in mind that the tree protectionanrdinance was recently changed that allows us to tap into the tree fund for management of the land so our budget for this year for managing the properties is coming out of the tree budget and that's what we're getting equipment for and get out there and start trimming and the very first priority is maintenance. >> yes, that was my first question when we started this whole thing back in 2018 I believe it was public record where I said that what is perpetuity mean? I believe I asked it twice and we spent some time on that. >> we did okay. We did okay. I've heard a lot about the great things restoring term of green and that's all great but I haven't heard anything about funding the people that are adversely cost costing money private property owners, homeowners. I haven't heard anything about maybe money set aside to help the adverse conditions your

' . • EXHIBIT A Turnbull Creek Land Preservation Proiect Turnbull Creek is a part of the Turnbull Canal System that was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2007 and is an estuarine waterway located in the west side of the City of New Smyrna Beach. The flow in Turnbull Creek is to the north into Turnbull Bay. Turnbuli Creek terminates at its intersection with Spruce Creek. Spruce Creek flows east to the Halifax River approximately two miles north of Ponce Inlet. Due to Turnbull Creek's proximity to the Halifax River and Ponce Inlet, it is tidally influenced. State Road 44 ess~tially bisects the Turnbull Creek watershed and helps to delineate the transition of Turnbull Creek from an estuarine waterway. At this point in time, there are large swaths ofland that are undeveloped in this environmentally sensitive area, as can be seen in the picture below. The City has a unique opportunity to acquire this land in order to protect this watershed area. Preserving this land would help diminish the potential for polluting the waters of the Turnbull Creek, Turnbull Bay, Spruce C~k, Indian River, and Atlantic Ocean, and the destruction of wildlife and habitat areas from development. The goal of the project is to conserve as much land in this area as is feasible. 9

all to order our meeting with the turnbull creek preservation board. >> it's time for us to start our meeting. >> if you could please call the roll chair author and present vice chair weston PRESIDENT Member hartmann and welcome new members sullivan. >> PRESIDENT Thank you. >> let the record show that member werner is absent. >> that's the first item on our agenda is our public participation. I recognize those who have to bring something to our meeting. Anyone would like to speak. We ask that you simply give us your address and name. When you come up to the podium and you have three minutes. Would anybody like to address our board and discuss some ideas or things that you'd like to bring up to our attention? >> no one wants to talk to us. >> yeah. Hello. >> welcome, nick schultz. 1016 dylan circle. So dylan circle is a loop off of bay drive. So I just wanted to address without having all of the facts of the kayak launch just kind of wanted to express my personal concerns and the concerns of that I've discussed with my neighbors around us. First and foremost is the condition of the road both bay drive and dylan circle which would be somehow affected by increased traffic on bay drive. They're just going to be inhabitable to drive around dylan circle. So as it stands now me and evan is here and a couple of our other neighbors personally maintain the road at least from williams on the north side of bay from williams to the corner where bay turns around and dylan circle loops off of that. >> and then dylan circle itself I mean to the tune of probably $6,000 a year between the maybe three of us that contribute money and then four of us they contribute track to work. >> it's takes a lot to do especially in the rainy season right now. I mean it's it's in bad condition on the part that we're able to maintain. >> I don't think that from the corner of where bay and dylan meet on the east side down from there all the way down bay drive to where it meets pioneer trail. I don't think they have the means or the ability to maintain that road and so driving that road especially this time of year I mean it's there's probably three foot deep divisions and transitions in there. The other concern would be we have a increasing homeless population around there. We have. So I work I own to construction company so I leave early sometimes and come home late sometimes from work. And we've had a increasing amount of transit bicycle traffic up and down williams that we never had before. There's a on the corner of william owens and pioneer trail. There's a property there now that has a rv that seems like a permanent fixture now. And there's a lot of transient bicycle traffic in and out of that. I mean when I leave for work when I have a concrete pour at four in the morning is probably the busiest time for that bicycle traffic so you can gather from that if you will. >> and my concern would be if we put this park there that public access that would attract that same population in there. I know like in the river there's some homeless camps that kind of arise on the islands. They can be a little bit more secluded. My concern would be they would use that kayak launch to use as a home base to go from there out to the island and maybe make camp out there where they were. They would be on a uninterrupted more or it would be more difficult to get to them. So I think those are my major concerns and the foremost concern being the condition of the road. If we could answer the other questions and maybe figure out a way for the city or county to participate in that road maintenance, I don't think that I would have a huge problem with the kayak issue there but super. >> thank you. My concerns. >> all right. Thank you very much. Anyone else like to address the board? please state your name and your address please so that we have that for our records. >> when you get up to the microphone so that we have you on there. >> I am done. Paulette brewer 850 bay drive. Okay. >> I'm trying to keep up with what's already been one of my concerns is I bought property on that side of the road three houses south of where you are the flooding that happens and it doesn't have to be hurricane flooding. >> it can be we just just this last the northeaster that clogged up everything when they talk about the storm surge. >> everybody thinks the beach but this community experience a storm surge. >> we are like our own little environment when everybody else is in the 38 degrees in the morning and we're in the 28 degrees in the morning just we're just a pocket in that in includes the property you're on. >> but what I wanted to talk about was that every property owner on the creek side actually owns all the way to the middle of the main channel . >> the best map I've found of that is through the property appraiser's office on the on the online and it shows everybody's how far out and they actually have the island that they island or islands that they own have a property number that affixes to the main part of their property. >> so by doing this you're exposing them to I was me at one point them to people having access to their backyard. You know we all worry about our front yard but for them it's going to expose them in their backyard. Years ago I came home from work one day and two little girls on a canoe were out there trying to write my horse. I mean that's just things that happened. >> we had boat motors stolen out of the backyard. We've had things happen. So where your property is they have to cross a couple other properties to get out to a place. Has anybody been out there? >> mm hmm. Oh, so yeah, you have. >> have you been out there in the last month? Yeah. Oh my GOD. >> you've mentioned the road that that's a deterrent for people actually to be out there. >> but I really wanted to talk about how you're going to expose the people and it's not just down there but when you get up into the dillon circle area there on the main channel. >> so if the people make it to the main channel with their vessel there are right there at their back doors. >> I know it's public. I mean rick perry and rights and all that stuff and people have the right to use that stuff. >> but I don't know what what the solution is. And the other thing is that at low tide I wouldn't get in that water at all. >> so that's all I have to say. Thanks for anyone else would like to speak to us. This is if you'll state your name and your address for us. >> my name is everett brewer and I'm at 850 bay drive for over 30 years. This is two houses down from me. You just heard my wife. What are the concern about is on bay drive? >> we own to the center of the road and there's no government grading or anything like that. So by allowing these people to come in on private property, shouldn't we get some kind of relief for maintaining the road that they're tearing up and that's pretty much because we do on to the middle of the road. So they're driving on private property to get to the city for . >> thank you. Thank you. I thank you for coming. >> yeah, thanks for having us. Evan doyle live at 1001 039 dillon circle. I've lived out there for about 15 years. My wife has lived there for about 40 years on dillon circle so we've been there for a while. >> I echo everybody's concerns quality of the road potential increased criminal activity. And the one thing I can speak to is since I've been on dillon circle I've really tried to engage the city and the county to try to get some sort of assistance out there because we are very much on our own in terms of maintaining the property which I understand it's a private road but I think a lot of us have experienced very quick denial with any help and any assistance from the city or the county. And so I think we would certainly like to see some sort of assistance with the road. Most of us seem like we're not fully opposed to the idea of recreation although when this was originally voted on it wasn't billed as a recreational opportunity was billed as a conservation opportunity. So I'm not going to call it a bait and switch but certainly we're here for a different reason than what was initially intended. But as homeowners in this area and myself and nick again being a few of the people that help maintain the road, it's quickly getting to the point where we are financially not able to continue to maintain the road and certainly down the bay drive and it's it's getting worse and worse to the point where if I was on bay I'd be concerned about emergency services responses and things like that. So I think there's some work that can be done. I think there's a partnership opportunity here but we would certainly like to see the city step up and make it to where we as a community are benefiting as a result. >> terrific. Thank you. Is your property county or city? >> so I have both. I have a property that's in the county and I have a property that's in the city there. They're contiguous. Mm hmm. But we have one parcel that's agricultural where we keep our cows and then we the our home is is in the city and we've been in the city since 2015. >> and I actually did pass out something that has information on how to annex into the city because it's been a benefit to us. Our taxes have gone down. We've seen better services with the city in terms of law enforcement and then also just pulling permits and stuff like that. >> a lot easier to deal with the city than the county. Thank you. Great. Thank you. >> all right. Hi. Welcome. Hi. My name charlie collins 1059 dillon circle. >> I spoke to this gentleman here a couple of days ago and he was telling me that you will have more like 3 million left to buy properties. He also told me I'm not looking to buy our properties. Is that is that true? So you're not going to buy our properties? >> not unless you want to sell them. Okay. I'll sell it to you for the right price. I don't have a problem with that. but we have order and you have a park over there and I spoke to him about that. Why aren't you using that? Why don't you make that the long term? Why would you bring them in right in our neighborhood? >> I mean I don't understand that. Would you allow that? I don't think I would. You know I live on the corner down there at the point. Now here's another problem you're going to have to address and I hope maybe you address it or you all look at it. But the boats hall asked on that place I live on the corner. I now have a sandbar over here right out my sliding glass doors in the house because they come around here so fast they don't see the other people coming around that point and there's going to be a bad accident and one of these kayakers is going to eat it. >> so it's something needs to be looked at. I'm all about the roads. I quit doing the roads while ago because it's just too expensive and then everybody wants to ditch how you do the road so I don't do it. But kayakers, you need to look at law enforcement needs to come in there. >> I've never seen no law enforcement in there on the canals so I mean never unless there's an emergency or something like that a plane goes down or something like that. >> but those were my questions. I just need to know for sure because you know, you're one thing and then something else is done. >> so down the road they change their mind well, we want to do this well, we want to do that. >> you know, it's just like in an annex in and I because now I don't see the point but why not use the other park? >> I've why would you come into that neighborhood when you got it on order you got paved roads, daughter. And I'm definitely big on on the roads being fixed so those are my concerns. >> noted. Thank you. >> anyone else? Hello for having us. >> my name is john laureano live at 641 bay drive. >> I'd like to show you my phone. There's no gas around this. That's a coquina rock. That's about 700 pounds that last week somebody coming around the corner hit to knock that off its foundation. People are speeding going way too fast. We have forces down our street. >> you guys are right down our street. >> somebody is going to get killed. >> hopefully it's not one of your guys is kids. That's all I got to say. >> thank you for very often for that back. >> anyone else, any other any speakers and to . >> good afternoon. I'm tom copper and I live at 1069 golden circle. I actually lived at 1016 before i moved around the circle. >> you've got a few things that you got to keep in mind because if you are going to do that and you're going to have to help maintain the roads and everything else since I've lived out there we used to have hurricanes. You know what happens? You know I'm 40 some years. I have 44 years we've been out there and hurricanes used to be out here and they'd come through and maybe we'd get two feet of water. That's it. Now with all the developments that's been going on west of us, it all in coming into the creek itself and also from the sugar mill and down in the side where the bridges coming off the williams I can tell you what when I built this house I built it above the standards are supposed to be brought in 101 hundred truckloads or the large truckloads of shell and dirt and and everything to build the house and get it up way above the standards. Well, when I first built that house 20 some years ago, I lived on it before it a double wide. It would only come up maybe 2 or 3ft up in the creek on that side. And now like when he and ian came through in the last storm after that came through it was almost five feet high. Now another thing you got to take in consideration I'm on really the higher side but I'm on where the drain goes down past it and empties into the creek. Now if you're going to maintain these roads and everything else and you've got to be careful if you're going to build on them too because there is don't drive all the way it gets flooded over sometimes 4 or 5ft in different places. So that's something you keep in consideration also because you know, it's not like a regular area because you know it flooded clear all the way up into wayne avenue up by the golf course and such. >> it never used to do that. You know, it just we've just built so much and that used to be land and would absorb the water and everything else and now it's got no place to want to run that away and most of it from 44 and west of us it all runs towards the creek and it's just something taking consideration and I am also concerned about the safety for and different people coming into the area. >> if you do make that a kayak place and you just built a really nice one of us one just the other day that's that's a beautiful place and it's great fishing up in that area too. But you know just keep in mind that everything that you are going for that there's going to be a lot for you to bite off and and it's really a very unsafe for different issues. And thank you. Thank you. >> thank you. I did see someone else wanting to come up. Yes. >> good afternoon. >> thomas overstreet 19 64 jungle road. I have the 17 acres here that's just south of the larger parcel that you guys purchased back in about 2019 2020 I believe. You guys made an offer on my property. You previously purchased property on jungle road in between highway 44 seven and a half acres. It's right the tn turnbull creek. Three and a half acres of that seven is underwater and in the creek you guys paid $109,000 an acre for that $106,000 an acre. And then recently in JULY you purchased 1.65 acres directly across the street from my property for $200,000. That's $90,900 an acre. You guys made an offer a lowball offer on my property at $50,000 an acre and I'd like to sell the property to you but you've got to come up and pay a reasonable price for it. This property MAY solve all your problems. I'm directly across from that larger parcel that would give you access to the creek from my property. It's also set up like a park like setting. So if you guys want to consider I've submitted my offer to tony of a of a counteroffer and I haven't heard anything back. So I'm waiting to hear back from you if I don't hear anything. I do have developers have 17 acres as prime property people are calling me to buy it. I originally bought the property in 2015. I was going to set it up to have music festivals. I started a tree farm back in there and I'm wanting to be for the city use but again I have to sell it to the highest and best use. So if you guys don't want to do it then I don't have another choice and I'm not going to sell it to a lowball offer. So if you'll reconsider, I'm all ears. >> okay. Which parcels is that? Is it off? >> it's off of mission. No, sorry. Which was which parcel were 17 1964 jungle road. >> it's 117. Okay. >> there's an article on the front page of hometown news to my surprise that you guys wanted to buy my property. So you put that out there to try to quell everybody that's in here complaining about the properties that you're buying that you don't want to get serious about my property. >> why is that? >> thank you so much for your time and take a look at it. Thank you. Anyone else? >> I'm johnny dale. I live at 659 bay drive and I echo the same concerns as everybody that's been up here road maintenance park is built hypothetically. What is that going to bring into how much traffic? Where are they going to enter? >> I live off of pioneer side of bay drive and the road is in horrible shape on a regular basis even though we did have a guy that does drag it forth and I just put in $1,000 with the shell and it's gone from the last to rain so it's it's something that we I feel that we need to understand how the city is going to work on bay drive, what kind of traffic we can expect based on your guys's analysis because it's not going to be easy. I don't think and half of bay and dillon is in the city the other half is in the county so that proposes another issue. So we're not all in the city and I hopefully you guys can come up with a solution. Let us know what you're going to do sooner than later possible. >> thank you. Thank you . >> lisa hoffman 745 bay drive. My husband and I have a and our family have lived on bay drive for about two years now and we've seen the road get increasingly worse condition even just this year than it has been before. >> so I just want to reiterate what everyone else here has said which is the road is a major concern and bringing in more traffic on the road is just going to exacerbate that already poor condition of it as well as putting the increasing the maintenance burden on the private owners for public access to this property. So I think you know, from a pragmatic standpoint I'd like to know what the city can do to help bridge that gap and to help, you know, resolve the issue of the the road maintenance and also provide the owners on the road with a better understanding of what what the property's going to be used for and how it would be maintained. I wasn't even didn't even think about the concerns that people said about homeless people. But I think that's a valid one especially given that it's an isolated property in the midst of private property. And so there is an act currently there is no police presence out there because it's private property and so I think if if annexation is the way to get the road issue resolved and get the police enforcement that's needed to ensure everyone's safety, then we would like the city to take the lead on you know, on on those efforts and getting the property owners out there to have that opportunity to an extent so that all of these issues can be addressed together with, you know, a collaborative discussion on the use of the property. The other thing I'd like to add is you know, we have a son with special needs. My we are worried about, you know, being emergency services being able to get to us and my husband contacted the county about it and they said it's the city, it's the city's responsibility to maintain the road and to make sure that the the the vehicles can get to an emergency response can get to you and as it stands now, you know, we don't really have a clear answer from the city as to whether anything will be done. >> so we would like that information. Thank you. Are you are the nsp utilities? >> we are and we're on the city trash to the city picks up our trash. >> they don't pick up the recycling anymore but they did and we have utilities out there through the city. So yeah, I mean I feel like we're we're we're on city services but we're not getting the full benefit of the city is support and maintenance. >> so I think that's where we'd like and as you guys know this property is right in the middle of the city. I mean this isn't on the outskirts. This is at the very heart of new smyrna and so we just like you know, to have the same support and protections as the rest of the residents of the city do. >> thank you. Thank you . >> good afternoon. Steve gunter 140 temple street. I'm on the canal but my mother in law and her twin sister are 94 and they live right there on dillon circle and I'm their daily I got to say the term will creek land preservation should stay preservation. >> I think they need to take that property plan it out with a lot of florida indigenous plants put some more trees in there, let the wildlife come in there and take over nest, leave that shoreline so that all the marine habitat can be much healthier and as one gentleman and you guys have no control over but I plan on getting a hold of the f c w in those other marine departments because the boat traffic in there is horrendous and there's baby manatees and whatnot and they just use it as a playground and it's just destroying the bank along the terminal creek there. >> but if you plant that out and actually keep it preservation as your title claims, I think you'll make everybody a lot happier and that bay drive for sure right now because I was there yesterday and it it's like a motorcycle crash track or something yeah I mean you could even go down through there on a motorcycle it's so bad and surely if emergency had to respond they don't have a hard time coming off pioneer trail and going down that road. I suggest any of you try to drive down through there with your car right now and it's just you'd be bottoming out in areas so anyway please just keep it a preservation. >> thank you. Thank you. Anyone else seeing no one else out there that wants to speak to us today we will continue with our workshop topics. I'm going to point over to staff comments on any all right. The primary purpose of today is to get general feedback on what you want to see if anything on all the 250 acres that we've bought throughout terminal properties. >> so that's working all right . We'll stand at the podium and thanks tony . >> so before we open the floor for comments as to what you would like to see done on the other properties, we basically will brief history of the program how we got here and where we go from here. >> so let's turn to race properties which were between jungle road and pioneer trail. >> they were the primary impetus of getting the whole bond issue passed. 2016 developer came in, wanted to develop 400 lots on this property and everybody went up in arms and wanted to stop it. So there were many workshops and discussions on how to stop this development and the consensus was that the best way to do it would be for the city to purchase the property. >> so that evolved into a resolution and to create the bond referendum and basically as you can read on there the commission determined that the development of long term bull creek has the potential to pollut w the waters of the creek and downstream waters, eliminate wildlife habitat and natural areas . So the commission that resolution passed and it went on the board you know the election in NOVEMBER 2018 and it passed 75% to 25%. So the actual language of the bond referendum again was to protect the water quality by preventing pollution
