Agenda 09/12/2017 Item #16A3109/12/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an easement agreement for the purchase of a road right-of-way,
drainage, and utility easement (Parcel 418RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate
Boulevard from east of Everglades Boulevard to east of the Faka Union Canal (Project 60145).
Estimated Fiscal Impact: $10,100.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase an easement needed for the four-laning of Golden Gate Boulevard from east
of Everglades Boulevard to east of the Faka Union Canal (the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is seeking to purchase a 4,515 square foot, more or less,
perpetual, non-exclusive Road Right-of-Way, Drainage and Utility Easement (Parcel 418RDUE). Parcel
418RDUE is “vacant” land and part of a 1.64 acre parent tract owned by Ramon and Teresita Barroso
(Property Owners). The unimproved property is located on the south side of Golden Gate Boulevard
between Everglades Boulevard and Desoto Boulevard.
The accompanying appraisal dated November 2016 prepared by R. Alan Wilcox, MAI, SRA, of Wilcox
Appraisal Services, Inc. estimated the current market value of Parcel 418RDUE to be $2,000. However,
this appraisal does not account for the overall costs of obtaining the subject easement should the
relationship between the Property Owners and Collier County become adversarial. The attached easement
agreement reflects a negotiated all-inclusive settlement amount of $10,000. Had the relationship between
the Property Owners, their attorney and the County staff become adversarial, it is very likel y that other
experts might have been brought in to manufacture an additional claim for severance damages and the
development of expensive curative measures; Parcel 418RDUE would have been taken by condemnation,
and the cost to acquire the right-of-way required for the construction of the project would have risen way
beyond the actual value of the right-of-way involved. Such costs would far exceed the difference
between the appraised value and the negotiated settlement price.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $10,100, being the aggregate settlement price of $10,000
and approximately $100 in recording fees, are available within the Golden Gate Blvd improvement
project (no. 60145). The primary funding source for the acquisition of right-of-way is impact fees.
Should impact fees be insufficient within a particular project, the secondary funding source will be gas
taxes.
Incremental maintenance costs for Golden Gate Boulevard from east of Everglades Boulevard to east of
the Faka Union Canal are estimated at $2,500 per year for mowing and garbage removal. The cost to
maintain stormwater management infrastructure will be approximately $4,000 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;
