Hurr noted an agreement made by Mr. Dunn with the DNR over leasing of the Straley property. Gaff'ron said the agreement requires approval from all agencies before a lease could be entered into. Hun was concerned that an option could hold up the sale of the property. Jabbour said there was a possibility of one property being given up for another property sold. Jabbour had believed that the property was to be presented for sale on the open market after the completion of two appraisals and possibly going through the tax forfeiture process. Goetten said Dunn had commented at the LMCD meeting that he was reorganizing his docks. Commercial and residential use of the property was discussed. Hurr asked Mabusth about a developers proposal concerning redevelopment of the property located between Lakeside and North Shore Marinas. Mabusth said the proposal was very preliminary and would ask for direction when and if a more detailed proposal is received.
