She indicated that she was directed to obtain title to the parcel for use as open space of for mitigation. The former owner had researched options for use of the land; however, no part of the parcel was deemed buildable. Since there was no use for the parcel, the former owner allowed it to forfeit to the State. Ms. Anderson indicated that title to the parcel has been obtained.
