Sarasota County walks away from $18.1M waterfront deal

A prime piece of waterfront property near Siesta Key will not become a Sarasota County park after all. Sarasota County will terminate its controversial $18.1 million contract to purchase the now-vacant Boatyard Village property on Stickney Point Road because the seller could not provide clear title. The Sarasota County Commission voted 3-2 on Nov. 4 to terminate the contract for the 2.04-acre waterfront property on Little Sarasota Bay, with commissioners Joe Neunder and Mark Smith in dissent. Without clear title to the property, and with looming fiscal constraints as the county deals with the impact of Amendment 3, Commissioner Teresa Mast and Commission Chairman Ron Cutsinger said they could not support moving forward with the purchase. “If we don’t have a clear title, then I’m not an interested party,” said Mast, who made the motion to terminate the contract. “I’m not interested in continuing any further discussions or any further options until there’s a clear title.” Cutsinger noted that when commissioners approved the contract May 5, they were unaware of a federal waterfront easement issue affecting the property. “I don’t want to be the one to try to buy something like this and still have uncertainties,” Cutsinger said.
