Resolution No. 19-2011 designating real properties owned by RW Kirk Family LTD
Partnership located at 4710 South Washington Avenue, as a Florida Brownfield Area for
the purpose of rehabilitation, economic redevelopment, and environmental remediation;
directing the City Manager to notify the Department of Environmental Protection of said
designation.
City Manager Ryan advised the utilization of arsenic for weed control used along the
railroad right-of-way on this property created the ability to designate that area as a
Brownfield Area.
Mayor Tulley opened the public hearing.
Robert Kirk advised he was there to answer any questions
Member Burson asked what Mr. Kirk’s plan for the property.
Mr. Kirk advised that previously the property was used for retail and housing, but with
the economy as it was, it would not support that and he would wait to see what the
market would support at a future time. The property was an underdeveloped property
with the potential to have problems with contamination. The Brownfield designation
would give him the same advantage as Brownfields that were designated in the south part
of the County. Mr. Kirk expressed new people to the area look for those benefits and he
felt this would help in attracting them to the Titusville area.
Mayor Tulley closed the public hearing.
