Agenda 09/12/2017 Item #16A3209/12/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an easement agreement for the purchase of a road right-of-way,
drainage, and utility easement (Parcel 415RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate
Boulevard from east of Everglades Boulevard to east of Faka Union Canal (Project 60145).
Estimated Fiscal Impact: $14,100.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase an easement needed for the four-laning of Golden Gate Boulevard from east
of Everglades Boulevard to east of Faka Union Canal (the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is seeking to purchase a 3,075 square foot, more or less,
perpetual, non-exclusive Road Right-of-Way, Drainage and Utility Easement (Parcel 415RDUE). Parcel
415RDUE is part of a 2.81 acre parent tract owned by Mr. Julio Viltres, Mrs. Sonia Cabrera and Ms.
Arelys Cabrera (Property Owners).
The appraisal prepared by RKL Appraisal and Consulting on October 31, 2016, estimates the value of
Parcel 415RDUE at $4,200. 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 an amicably-negotiated settlement amount of
$13,900. Had the relationship between the Property Owners, their attorney and the County staff become
adversarial, it is very likely that other experts might have been brought in to manufacture an additional
claim for severance damages and the development of expensive curative measures; the property (Project
Parcel 415RDUE) 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 $14,100, being the aggregate settlement price of $13,900
and approximately $200 in recording fees, will be required. Funds are available in the Golden Gate Blvd
expansion 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;
. To accept the conveyance of Parcel 415RDUE and authorize the County Manager, or his designee, to

record the conveyance instrument in the public records of Collier County, Florida;
. To authorize the payment of all costs and expenses that Collier County is required to pay under the
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.
