Dear Mr. Bell:
Outlined below is a recap of the meeting held with you yesterday afternoon,
November 28th. Those in attendance in addition to yourself and me were
Commissioner Chris Craft, City of Fort Pierce Mayor Bob Benton, County
Attorney Dan McIntyre, Don Root, and Joseph Kirby and Ernest Higgins of
Meredith Realty, Inc.
The County showed you a copy of the Berth 1 and 2 Cargo Plans that were
submitted to the City of Fort Pierce by Michael Ravelo. You said that you had
never seen these plans and had no knowledge of them and therefore had not
approved them. You also said that you had not received the City comments
that were sent to you November 17th commenting on the plans. Therefore, the
plans may be withdrawn from consideration by the City and County after your
review, if it does not meet your vision.
Commissioner Craft offered to continue to meet with you and the City to
develop a plan for a mega yacht facility that would be consistent with the City's
County's, and public's vision for the Port. Mayor Benton agreed that the City
would work with the County. Commissioner Craft also offered to request
assistance from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to facilitate this
effort. He would request funding from the County to be matched with City
funding to do this study.
You stated that you have not agreed to anything at this time and everyone at
the meeting specified that no deals have been made.
In a good faith effort, the County formally requests that you withdraw your
Submerged Land Lease Application at this time for Berth 4.
