Agenda Item #9
Title
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO DEED RESTRICTION
Description
On August 19, 2003 the School Board approved a Quit Claim Deed transferring ownership to Sarasota County of property on the north side of Hatton Street from Shade Avenue to School Avenue. The deed was for the purpose of construction and maintenance of a storm water improvement facility. The county now requests that the deed be amended to allow the county to lease the property to the Community Housing Trust for the construction of up to 14 "workforce" townhouses. This parcel would be part of a 40-unit complex extending across Shade Avenue toward Euclid Avenue. The project is supported by a $2.44 million grant from the State of Florida. The units will be available to school district employees, staff of other local governments, and to the general public. The development also includes a landscaped gateway at the corner of Hatton Street and Shade Avenue, plus a small community garden. Construction will begin by late this summer. The subject parcel is currently used to provide 50 parking spaces for Sarasota High School students; district and school staff are working to identify alternative parking options by August 2008.
Recommendation
That the School Board of Sarasota County amend the restriction to the Quit Claim Deed, instrument #2003194261, as presented.
