Agenda 10/28/2014 Item #16A1210/28/2014 16.A.12.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an easement agreement for the purchase of a Road Right -of -Way,
Drainage and Utility Easement (Parcel 255RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate
Boulevard from east of Wilson Boulevard to 20th Street East. Project No. 60040 (Fiscal Impact:
$3,100).
OBJECTIVE: To purchase an easement needed for the four - laning of Golden Gate Boulevard
from east of Wilson Boulevard to 201h Street East (the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is seeking to purchase a 1,500 square foot, more or less,
perpetual, non - exclusive Road Right -of -way, Drainage and Utility Easement. The improved
property is located on the north side of Golden Gate Boulevard E. Parcel 255RDUE is needed
for construction of the Project and is part of the 1.17 acre improved parent tract owned by Mr.
Roberto Torralbas (Property Owner).
The accompanying Appraisal Report prepared by Dan K. Richardson and dated April 2014
indicates the market value of Parcel 255RDUE is $820. However, the market value of the
subject property, an estimate in and of itself, is relatively insignificant in the context of the
overall cost of acquiring the necessary easement rights should the relationship between the
Property Owner and Collier County become adversarial, and attorneys, appraisers and other
experts are brought in to represent the owner.
The attached easement agreement reflects the "global settlement" amount for Parcel 255RDUE
of $3,000.
Accordingly, staff is recommending that the Board of County Commissioners (the Board)
approve this agreement for the purchase of Parcel 255RDUE.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $3,100 ($3,000 purchase price and recording fees of
approximately $100) will be paid from gas taxes and /or road impact fees. 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. The County currently
maintains Golden Gate Boulevard, so incremental maintenance costs ultimately related to the
improvements will be minimal compared to the overall benefits of project. Additional right -of-
way acquisitions are required which will add acreage to the mowing and garbage removal
maintenance at approximately $3,000 per year. Replacement of swales with closed drainage
(piping) has a useful life of approximately fifty years with recurring costs of periodic inspections
and system cleaning on a three to five year basis at an estimated cost of $5,000 per cycle. New
roadway construction has a maintenance curve of approximately 5 to 7 years before any
incremental costs are required for repairs or replacement. When the construction contract is
brought before the BCC for approval, the maintenance costs will be revised if necessary.
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: That the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County:
1. Approve the attached Easement Agreement and authorize its Chairman to execute same on
behalf of the Board;
2. Accept the conveyance of Parcel No. 255RDUE and authorize the County Manager, or his
designee, to record the conveyance instrument in the public records of Collier County,
Florida;
3. Authorize the payment of all costs and expenses necessary to close the transaction;
4. 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 agreement; and
5. Authorize any and all budget amendments required to carry out the collective will of the
Board.

referred to as the "Easement "); and
WHEREAS, Owner desires to convey the Easement to County for the stated
purposes, on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, County has agreed to compensate Owner for conveyance of the
Easement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the sum of Ten Dollars
($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby mutually acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:
1. All of the above RECITALS are true and correct and are hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully below, and all Exhibits referenced
herein are made a part of this Agreement.
Owner shall convey the Easement to County for the sum of:
$3,000.00
subject to the apportionment and distribution of proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 9 of
this Agreement (said transaction hereinafter referred to as the "Closing "). Said
payment to Owner, payable by County Warrant or funds wire transfer, shall be full
compensation for the Easement conveyed, including all landscaping, trees, shrubs,
improvements, and fixtures located thereon, and shall be in full and final settlement
of any damages resulting to Owner's remaining lands, costs to cure, including but not
limited to the cost to relocate the existing irrigation system and other improvements
(if any), and the cost to cut and cap irrigation lines (if any) extending into the
Easement, and to remove all sprinkler valves and related electrical wiring (if any),
and all other damages in connection with conveyance of said Easement to County,
including all attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs as provided for in Chapter
73, Florida Statutes.
Owner shall obtain from the holders of any liens, exceptions and /or qualifications

counsel and /or title company.
4. Both Owner and County agree that time is of the essence. Therefore, Closing shall
occur within ninety (90) days of the date of execution of this Agreement or within
thirty (30) days of County's receipt of all Closing Documents, whichever is the later.

in that amount shown on the Closing Statement as "Net Cash to the Seller."
5. Owner agrees to relocate any existing irrigation system located on the Easement

remainder property and its performance after relocation. Owner holds County
harmless for any and all possible damage to the irrigation system in the event owner
fails to relocate the irrigation system prior to construction of the project.
If Owner elects to retain improvements and /or landscaping ( "Improvements ") located
on the Easement (if any), the Owner is responsible for their retrieval prior to the
construction of the project without any further notification from County. Owner

Owner to salvage said improvements as long as their retrieval is performed before

This provision shall survive Closing and is not deemed satisfied by conveyance of
title.
