| Total | 0.1271 |
Some simple numbers:
| Total Harvest needed for total island build out (1.1"H" x 3) | 3.30 "H" |
| Total Harvest value in County "H" bank now (USFWS report) | 1.5736 |
| Total "H" yet needed for total build out | 1.726 |
If the Scenic Byways grant is $1,400,000.00 and pays for 0.1271 "H" (13.5% of what's needed for build out)
then the 1.726 yet needed, would cost $19,011,801.74 dollars
This makes the average BPK ROGO lot (.005"H") = $55,074.75
This makes the County's $7,500.00 per single family residence seem very good except for the fact that what property owner would
sell for less then 50K and the $7,500.00 per unit won't buy squat toward buying mitigating properties.
Using the number 153 (houses yet to build) x $7,500.00 = $1,147,500.00 and
47,000 SQ FT of commercial (max yet to build) @$7,500.00 per one thousand SQ FT. = $352,500.00
Now just who pays the remaining 20 million?? (give or take a couple million)
Can this be a solution??
