CONSIDERATIONS: On December 10, 2013, under Agenda Item 17D, the Board approved the PUD Ordinance for the Landings at Bear's Paw, which Ordinance stated in part that the developer, Headwaters Development Limited Liability Limited Partnership, LLLP (Headwaters), should amend an existing Access Easement with the County to clarify terms for maintenance, access, construction, etc. over and within the easement area. Headwaters is successor in interest to Caribbean Venture of Naples, LLC (CVN) who owned a parcel of land adjacent to the eastern portion of the County's future Gordon River Greenway Park, and by virtue of that ownership is the successor in interest to an existing easement previously granted over County property. In 2006, an easement over the east 60 feet of Lot 97, Naples Improvement Company's Little Farms Subdivision of the County's property was conveyed to CVN in that certain Right -of -Way Easement Agreement ( "Existing ROW Easement ") granted from Collier County and dated August 7, 2006 and recorded on August 29, 2006 in OR Book 4097, at Page 0661, of the Public Records of Collier County, Florida. The Existing ROW Easement was extended by that certain Access Easement Agreement ( "Existing Access Easement ") granted from Collier County and dated October 27, 2009 and recorded on February 10, 2010 in OR Book 4535, at Page 2342, of the Public Records of Collier County, Florida. The Existing Access Easement gives Headwaters an access connection on Golden Gate Parkway that is the only legal road access to Headwaters property. The County and Headwaters coordinated through the PUD process an arrangement to allow Headwaters to have a shared access through the County's property to Golden Gate Parkway with certain terms. In exchange for an easement through the County's property, Headwaters has agreed to document the required terms of the Existing Access Easement to include maintenance and construction terms of the access roadway. Those terms include termination of the agreement in the event the entire roadway corridor created by this Easement is not substantially completed by Headwaters on or before February 8, 2016. A location map is attached for reference. FISCAL EWPACT: The total cost for recording the Amended and Restated Access Easement Agreement will be paid by Headwaters. A budget amendment is needed to recognize a total of $140,365.20 as set forth in Exhibit F, Section III.e. of the Landings at Bear's Paw PUD Ordinance 13-66 approved December 10, 2013, Agenda Item 17D in the Gordon River Greenway Project 80065 budget within the Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Fund 306 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for approval. - HFAC GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Gordon River Greenway Park and Naples Zoo located on Collier County owned property are inventoried in the Collier County Growth Management.
