Agenda 02/27/2018 Item #16D 102/27/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase with Frank J. Celsnak and
Marlene J. Celsnak, as Trustees U/D/T (or U/A) dated 27 December 1991, for 2.73 acres under the
Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program at a cost not to exceed $16,250, and approve the
Chairman to sign when completed.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase a 2.73-acre parcel within the Red Maple Swamp Preserve Multi-parcel
Project from Frank J. Celsnak and Marlene J. Celsnak, as Trustees U/D/T (or U/A) dated 27 December
1991 (Seller).
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 27, 2004, Agenda Item# 10A, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC)
recommended Active Acquisition List (AAL), with changes, and directed staff to actively pursue
acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. On June 22, 2004, Agenda Item#
16A2, the Board confirmed their direction to staff authorizing staff to proceed with purchase contracts for
Golden Gate Estates, Unit 53 Multi Parcel Project now known as the Red Maple Swamp Preserve Multi -
parcel Project (Project), properties as they become available and to bring these contracts back to the
Board for final approval. On September 26, 2006, Agenda Item# 10G, the Board directed staff to
discontinue buying properties within the Project due to rising property costs. On January 29, 2008,
Agenda Item# 10F, the Board accepted CCLAAC’s recommended AAL reactivating and placing the
Project on the “A” list. On January 25, 2011, Agenda Item# 10B, the Board accepted CCLAAC’s
recommended Cycle 8 AAL, placing the Project on the “A” list. On December 13, 2016, the Board
reauthorized the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition program. On August 14, 2017, the CCLAAC
recommended staff to make offers to interested property owners within the Project.
The Project consists of 108 parcels and a total of 305.69 acres. To date, Conservation Collier has acquired
74 parcels consisting of a total of 207.70 acres. In addition to protecting wetlands and listed species
habitat, another important reason for the selection of Red Maple Swamp as a conservation target is that it
is connected on its north and west sides with the 60,000 acres Florida Forever Corkscrew Regional
Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) Project, which includes Corkscrew Marsh, Bird Rookery Swamp, Flint
Pen Strand, and Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Conservation Collier acquisitions within
NGGE Unit 53 would enhance, protect, and buffer these already conserved lands. The acquisition of lands
within Red Maple Swamp will also provide additional public access opportunities to the area including a
connection with adjoining Bird Rookery Swamp, where a 1,200-foot boardwalk has been built, and nearly
12 miles of hiking trails have been created by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Staff
will coordinate with SFWMD and neighboring communities when planning for public access to Red
Maple Swamplands.
Staff contracted with two independent, state-certified, general real estate appraisal firms to appraise all
parcels within the Project. The appraisers based their analyses on comparable sales from the wetland, not
upland parcels, preferably within the Project boundaries. The appraisals dated July 2017 provided an
averaged appraised value for parcels within the Project at $5,750 an acre. On October 9, 2017, the
CCLAAC recommended extending offers to owners who sent in applications in the Project. The cost to
obtain new appraisals was $4,900.
The Sellers’ property contains a total of 2.73 acres and is located within the Project. The land cost for the
2.73-acre parcel is $15,698. The Property Appraiser’s 2017 Tax Roll assessed value for this property is
$9,610.
The attached Agreement provides that should the County elect not to close this transaction for any reason,
16.D.1
Packet Pg. 880
02/27/2018
except for default by the Sellers, the County will pay the Sellers $78.49 in liquidated damages.
The CCLAAC approved this transaction on December 20, 2017, and voted to recommend Board approval
and execution of the attached Agreement.
Under Ordinance 2007-65, Section 13(8), a Project Design Report for the property is provided herewith.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of acquisition will not exceed $16,250 ($15,698 for the property and
approximately $552 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of documents). The funds will be
withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Trust Fund (172). As of December 20, 2017, property costs for
Conservation Collier properties, including this property and those under contract, total $104,329,667.
Estimated costs of maintenance in perpetuity have been considered by the CCLAAC and have been
incorporated into the Conservation Collier Long Term Financial Management Plan.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Fee simple acquisition of conservation lands is consistent with
and supports Policy 1.3.1(e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires majority
vote for approval. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To Approve the attached Agreement and accept the Warranty Deed once it has
been received and approved by the County Attorney’s Office; 2) Authorize the Chairman to execute the
Agreement and any and all other County Attorney’s Office approved documents related to this
transaction; 3) Authorize the County Manager or his designee to prepare related vouchers and Warrants
for payment; and 4) Direct the County Manager or his designee to proceed to acquire this parcel, to
follow all appropriate closing procedures, to record the deed and any and all necessary documents to
obtain clear title to this parcel, and to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure performance under the
Agreement.

Program Qualifications:
The Red Maple Swamp multi-parcel project (AKA NGGE Unit 53), which includes the
2.73-acre Celsnak parcel, was first approved by the Board for acquisition as an “A” List
multi-parcel property in January 2005, and then confirmed again in January 2011.
Red Maple Swamp/NGGE Unit 53 is an undeveloped Unit within the North Golden Gate
Estates (NGGE) incorporating 305.69 acres and 105 parcels. Conservation Collier has
acquired 75 parcels totaling 209.11 acres and currently owns 68% of lands within the
project area.
Native wetland hardwood forest habitat is present over the whole unit, with a substantial
portion of that being dominated by cypress and red maple swamp and the remainder by
native and exotic re-growth over a historic farm field (approximately 100 acres) on the
western side of Unit 53. This parcel is not within the old farm field area as it is located on
the eastern side of Unit 53. Soils, hydrology and extant plant species indicate that the entire
unit is a seasonal wetland, with surface water present during rainy season and moist
conditions remaining during dry season (excepting drought conditions when water tables
may recede lower). The area contributes moderately to Lower Tamiami aquifer recharge.
This particular parcel of the multi-parcel project contains cypress, red maple, dahoon holly
and popash in the canopy and wetland dependent and adapted plants in the midstory and
on the ground. Exotic invasive plants Brazilian pepper and Japanese climbing fern make
up anywhere from 35% to 45% of the vegetation, and exist throughout the parcel.
Listed wetland dependent birds, including wood storks, snowy egrets, ibis and little blue
herons have been observed during site visits to this area. No listed wildlife species have
been observed; however, the entire unit is considered part of Primary Zone panther habitat
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Deer have been observed in the
area and Florida Black bears are known to inhabit adjoining public lands.
In addition to protecting wetlands and listed species habitat, another important reason for
the selection of Red Maple Swamp as a conservation target is that it is connected on its
north and west sides with the 60,000 acre Florida Forever Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem
Watershed (CREW) Project, which includes Corkscrew Marsh, Bird Rookery Swamp,
Flint Pen Strand and Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Through them, Red Maple
Swamp (and this parcel) connects with the Pepper Ranch and Caracara Prairie Preserves,
private mitigation lands and lands protected under the County’s Rural Lands Stewardship
Program. Conservation Collier acquisitions within NGGE Unit 53 would enhance, protect,
and buffer these already conserved lands.
The acquisition of lands within Red Maple Swamp will also provide additional public
access opportunities to the area including a connection with adjoining Bird Rookery
Swamp, where a 1,200-foot boardwalk has been built and nearly 12 miles of hiking trails
have been created by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Staff will
coordinate with SFWMD and neighboring communities when planning for public access
to Red Maple Swamp lands.

Regarding vulnerability, this area is zoned for single-family residences and although none
have been built to date, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection maps
NGGE Unit 53 as wetland for permitting purpose, permits could be requested at any time
and construction permitted with enough mitigation.
Projected Management Activities:
Removal of exotic plants, construction of trails, parking and placement of fencing and
signage are projected management activities. An Interim Management Plan (IMP) has
been drafted, approved and is updated every 2 years. A final management plan will be
developed once enough contiguous parcels have been acquired to make management
actions cost effective. Currently, 50 contiguous acres on the west side of the preserve are
under management for exotic plants.
This parcel contains approximately 35-45% exotic cover. Control of exotics on this parcel,
consisting of herbicide applications, will be initiated once a larger contiguous block of
parcels is acquired to include this one. Once exotic maintenance is started the parcel will
be included in the management budget for the overall Red Maple Swamp project.
Management funds will be taken from donated funds, currently in Reserves and totaling
$183,500, until depleted and then from the Land Management Fund (174).
Because of the seasonal wetland nature of the site, any future trails may be seasonal. A
raised boardwalk would be the best public access opportunity, however, this will not be
considered until sometime well into the future of the project when more parcels are
acquired, and if and when funds are identified. Nature photography and bird watching
from roadways are two activities that can occur at present. After consideration of risks and
liability, it may be possible to allow school children to visit specific parcels as part of an
educational program about wetlands. Currently, 41st Ave NW, an unpaved limerock road,
provides access and the only parking is along the road right-of-way. Minimal management
activities, like regular visitation, inspection and trash removal are currently being
accomplished by staff and volunteers.
