EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an easement agreement for the purchase of a road right-of-way,
drainage, and utility easement (Parcel 395RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate
Boulevard from 20th Street East to east of Everglades Boulevard. (Project No. 60145.) Estimated
Fiscal Impact: $3,277.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase an easement required for the four-laning of Golden Gate Boulevard from
20'Street East to east of Everglades Boulevard(the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is seeking to purchase Parcel 395RDUE, a 25-foot wide
perpetual, non-exclusive Road Right-of-Way, drainage, and utility easement of approximately 1,875
square feet needed for construction of the Project. The easement is located on the north side of Golden
Gate Boulevard and situated along the road frontage of an unimproved parent tract owned by Mercedes
M. Gonzalez,fka Mercedes M. Lam.
The appraisal prepared by Carlson,Norris and Associates, Inc., on January 6, 2016, estimates the value of
Parcel 395RDUE at $700. The attached easement agreement for $3,250 is the result of amicable
negotiations with the owner. If Parcel 395RDUE is not acquired by negotiation, it will have to be
condemned and the County will be liable for payment of the owner's attorney's, appraiser's, and other
experts' fees and costs, which will far exceed the difference between the appraised value and the
negotiated purchase price. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve
the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of$3,277, being the purchase price of$3,250 and recording
fees of approximately $27, will be required. The primary funding source for the acquisition of Right-of-
Way is impact fees. Should impact fees not be sufficient within a particular project, the secondary
funding source will be gas taxes.
Incremental maintenance costs for Golden Gate Boulevard from 20th Street East to east of Everglades
Boulevard are estimated at $3,000 per year for mowing and garbage removal. The cost to maintain
stormwater management infrastructure will be approximately $5,000 on a three to five year basis. New
roadway construction has a maintenance curve of approximately five to seven years before any
incremental costs are required for repairs.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires a
majority vote for Board approval. -ERP
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with the Long Range
Transportation Plan and the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
. To approve the attached easement agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute same on behalf
of the Board;
. To accept the conveyance of Parcel 395RDUE and authorize the County Manager, or his designee,to
record the conveyance instruments in the public records of Collier County,Florida;
Packet Pg. 467

terms of the easement agreement to close the transaction;
. To authorize the County Manager or his designee to take the necessary measures to ensure the
County's performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the easement agreement; and
. To authorize any and all budget amendments that may be required to carry out the collective will of
the Board.
