the following described public land in Lake County, Florida, has been

Tallahassee Meridian
T. 19 S., R.26 E.,
Sec. 29, Lot H, Block 2.
The area described contains 2,945.3 sq. ft. or 0.068 acres, more
or less, in Lake County.
The city of Tavares owns approximately 6.66 acres on the shoreline
of Lake Dora in the same section. The city also owns portions of the
lake bottom of Lake Dora adjacent to the 6.66 acres of uplands. The
proposed site for conveyance is adjacent to the already established
Wooton Park. The park is currently utilized for recreation by city and
Lake County residents. Facilities available include a playground,
tennis courts, restrooms, boat ramp, walking trail, picnic area,
limited boat docking, and parking. The city desires to expand and
improve its current public amenities to include additional docking
facilities for boats and seaplanes by incorporating the land into the
existing park and converting it into boat trailer parking spaces.
Conveyance of the land to the city of Tavares is consistent with
the BLM Florida Resource Management Plan, dated June 21, 1995, and
would be in the public interest. Additional detailed information
pertaining to this application, including a plan of development and a
map depicting the public land, as well as environmental documents, are
available for review at the BLM-ES Jackson Field Office.
The city of Tavares has not applied for more than the 6,400-acre
limitation for recreation uses in a year and has submitted a statement
of compliance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). The city of
Tavares proposes to use the land for boat trailer parking spaces.
The city of Tavares has applied for a patent to the land under the
R&PP Act of 1926. The patent or lease, if issued, would be subject to
the following terms, conditions and reservations to the United States:
[[Page 10818]]
1. Provisions of the R&PP Act of 1926, as amended, and all
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, including, but
not limited to, those terms required by 43 CFR 2741.9;
2. Valid existing rights;
3. A reservation of all minerals by the United States, together
with the right to prospect, mine and remove the minerals;
4. Terms and conditions identified through the site specific
environmental analysis;
5. Any other rights or reservations that the authorized officer
deems appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of
Federal land and interest therein; and
6. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use,
occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land
described above will be segregated from all other forms of disposal or
appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining
laws, except for lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing
under the mineral leasing laws.
Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for boat trailer parking spaces.
Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the land is
physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the
future use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with state and
Federal programs.
Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of
development and the management plan, whether the BLM-ES followed proper
administrative procedures in reaching the decision to lease and later
convey under the R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly related to
the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information
from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM-ES State Director.
In the absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land
described in the notice will become effective May 10, 2010. The land
will not be conveyed until after the classification becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
