It was noted that Mr. Casselbeny is currently discussing with the Community Development Department possible annexation and rezoning ofthe subject parcel along with the rest ofthe Sherwood Forest mobile home community, which he owns and operates. Five options were presented to the City Commission for consideration. The first two options involved the joint conveyance of an outright property exchange of the subject parcel for City property. In the event of an exchange of property, Mr. Casselbeny would relocate the existing mobile homes at his expense, or place new mobile homes on the exchanged property if the existing mobile homes could not be moved. The third option proposed by Mr. Casselbeny would involve a cash purchase in the amount of$40,000 (net to the seller) ofthe subject property, which would include the annexation of the property. The fourth option presented was to take no action on the matter. The fifth option presented was to plant a hedge within the public right-of-way that would be maintained by the City that would buffer the mobile homes from the roadway.
