Agenda 10/28/2014 Item #16A1410/28/2014 16.A.14.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an easement agreement for the purchase of a Road Right -of -Way,
Drainage and Utility Easement (Parcel 173RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate
Boulevard from east of Wilson Boulevard to 20th Street East. Project No. 60040 (Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $2,600).
OBJECTIVE: To purchase an easement needed for the four -laning of Golden Gate Boulevard
from east of Wilson Boulevard to 20th Street East (the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is seeking to purchase a 5,250 square foot, more or less,
perpetual, non - exclusive Road Right -of -Way, Drainage and Utility Easement on the north side of
Golden Gate Boulevard (Parcel 173RDUE). Parcel 173RDUE is needed for .construction of the
Project and is part of the 2.34 acre unimproved parent tract owned by Sanda Spitzer Trust, by
virtue of that certain deed recorded in O. R. Book 3753, Page 1056, Public Records of Collier
County, Florida, (Property Owner).
The accompanying Appraisal prepared by Wilcox Appraisal Services, Inc. and dated July 2013
indicates the appraised value of Parcel 173RDUE is $1,200. However, this appraisal does not
account for the overall costs of obtaining the subject easement should the relationship between
the Property Owner and Collier County become adversarial and potential fees for court costs,
attorneys, appraisers and other experts be incurred.
Accordingly, staff is recommending that the Board of County Commissioners (the Board)
approve the accompanying agreement for the purchase of Parcel 173RDUE.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $2,600 ($2,500 purchase price for Parcel
173RDUE and approximately $100 recording fees) 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. 173RDUE 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.
