Staff recommends against pursuing SR‑13 North parcel because it’s already covered by conservation easement

Staff presented a pre‑application parcel north of Jack Bridal Island and told the board the site is landlocked, entirely wetland, and already protected under a recorded regulatory conservation easement. Because the property is already covered by regulatory preservation language and the likelihood of development is low, staff recommended the county not pursue further acquisition or a second review.

Board members agreed and no motion was made to advance the parcel; the board took no further action on this pre‑application at the meeting.
