Agenda 04/24/2018 Item #16D 204/24/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase with Dalton Mejia, for 1.14 acres
under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program at a cost not to exceed $14,800.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase a 1.14-acre parcel within the Winchester Head Multi-Parcel Project from
Dalton Mejia (Seller).
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2005, Agenda Item 10D, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC)
recommended Cycle II - Active Acquisition List, (AAL) with changes, and directed staff to actively
pursue acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. A multi-parcel project
included on the Cycle II - AAL was a portion of Unit 65 in Golden Gate Estates (Winchester Head Multi-
Parcel Project). Staff has actively pursued acquiring parcels within Unit 65. However, on September 13,
2005, Agenda Item 16A34, the Board accepted CCLAAC’s recommendation to, due to rising property
costs, discontinue buying properties for the Winchester Head Multi-Parcel Project for 90 days. On
February 14, 2006, Agenda Item 10A, the Board approved placing the Winchester Head Multi-Parcel
Project on the “B” list of the Cycle III - AAL, and on January 23, 2007, Agenda Item 10A, the Board
approved the Cycle IV - AAL, once again placing the Multi-Parcel Project on the “B” list. On May 22,
2007, Agenda Item 10F, the Board approved activating the Winchester Head Multi -Parcel Project, with
conditions, and it was placed on the “A” list on the current AAL. 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 Winchester Head Multi-Parcel Project consists of 115 parcels and a total of 158.67 acres. To date,
Conservation Collier has acquired 56 parcels for a total of 82.40 acres, and the Collier Soil and Water
Conservation District has acquired two (2) parcels totaling 2.28 acres. One important reason for the
selection of Winchester Head as a conservation target is that this area functions to provide floodplain
storage for surrounding home sites during the high rainy season. These types of depressional storage areas
were included in the water management models for the Golden Gate canal system done by the Big
Cypress Basin, South Florida Water Management District and are a component of flood control for the
area. Winchester Head has also been targeted for future watershed improvement projects (North Golden
Gate Flowway Restoration Project, TDR Program, and Mitigation Program) in the County’s Watershed
Management Plan. Additional program criteria that would be satisfied by this donation include protection
of surface and groundwater resources, protection of wetland-dependent species habitat, and good potential
for restoration.
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 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 $12,500 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 Seller’s property contains a total of 1.14 acres and is located within the Winchester Head Multi-
Parcel Project. The land cost for the 1.14-acre parcel is $14,250. The Property Appraiser’s 2017
Preliminary Tax Roll assessed value for this property is $15,134.

The attached Agreement provides that should the County elect not to close this transaction for any reason,
except for default by the Seller, the County will pay the Seller $71.25 in liquidated damages.
The CCLAAC approved this transaction on April 10, 2018, and voted to recommend Board approval and
execution of the attached Agreement.
Pursuant to 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 $14,800 ($14,250 for the property and
approximately $550 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of documents). The funds will be
withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Trust Fund (172) from funds that were donated to Conservation
Collier for acquisition and management under the offsite preservation option in the Land Development
Code. As of April 10, 2018, property costs for Conservation Collier properties, including this property
and those under contract, total $104,405,402. 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:
1) Approve the attached Agreement and accepts 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.

Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program
Project Design Report
Date: April 2018
Mejia parcel – Winchester Head
Property Owner: Dalton Mejia
Folio: 39955400001
Location: GOLDEN GATE EST UNIT 65 W 75FT OF E 180 FT OF TR 46
Size: 1.14 acres
Collier County Appraiser Value: $15,134
History of Project:
**It was determined that properties within North Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) Unit
53/Red Maple Swamp and Units 62 and 65/Winchester Head, which are both approved
donation areas in the LDC, do not need to be brought back to CCLAAC for additional
recommendation. The date noted is when CCLAAC most recently recommended utilizing
donation funds for acquisitions in this project area.
Purpose of Project: Environmental Conservation – Conservation Collier Program
Program Qualifications:
The Mejia parcel is within the Winchester Head multi-parcel project. Winchester Head is
an undeveloped depressional cypress head and marsh wetland located in NGGE in Units
Selected for the “A” category,

62 and 65. Using aerial photographs, elevation data, soil maps and public input, a total of
115 parcels (158.67 acres) were identified as being important for acquisition. Selected
parcels include wetlands and small areas of upland buffers on parcels which are more than
half wetland. This parcel is in the southwestern portion of the project area and is entirely
wetlands. The entire site is within North Golden Gate Estates, identified within the
Conservation Collier Ordinance (Ord. No. 2002-63, as amended) as a Target Protection
Area. Currently, Conservation Collier owns 82.40 acres out of a total of 158.67 acres, or
52% of the project area. Another 6.15 acres offered in 2017 and 2018, including this parcel,
are moving towards acquisition utilizing donation funds for acquisition.
One important reason for the selection of Winchester Head as a conservation target is that
this area functions to provide floodplain storage for surrounding home sites during high
rainy season. These types of depressional storage areas were included in the water
management models for the Golden Gate canal system done by the Big Cypress Basin,
South Florida Water Management District and are a component of flood control for the
area. Winchester Head has also been targeted for future watershed improvement projects
(North Golden Gate Flowway Restoration Project, TDR Program, and Mitigation Program)
in the County’s Watershed Management Plan.
Additional program criteria that would be satisfied by this acquisition include protection
of surface and ground water resources, protection of wetland dependent species habitat,
and good potential for restoration. This parcel contains native vegetation including
scattered cypress and freshwater marsh. A paved public road (37th Ave NE) provides
access to the parcel and allows the property to be readily viewed. The cypress and
seasonally changing marsh on this parcel enhance the aesthetic setting of Collier County.
Projected Management Activities:
Active management of the entire project area is not feasible until a significant contiguous
area can be acquired. While Winchester Head as a whole is relatively free of exotic plants,
ongoing control is being done annually on selected parcels (primarily donated ones) and
where large infestations of exotic plant species occur – a total of approximately 9 acres.
Exotic maintenance for this parcel should be minimal and will be included in the
management budget for the overall Winchester Head project. Most of the project area for
Winchester Head is wetlands, and trails are not feasible. 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. Nature photography and bird
watching from roadways are two activities that can occur at present. Currently, the two
roads (37th and 39th Streets NE) provide paved access to the project area but the only
parking is the road right-of-way. At present, a visitor parking area is not available but
could be constructed in the future as an appropriate adjacent upland parcel for a parking
area was received as a donation by Conservation Collier. An educational kiosk can be
placed along one of the roads through the project containing information on wetlands and
on the preservation of the area. Signs can be placed at boundaries along 37th and 39th St.
NE. Minimal management activities, like trash removal can be accomplished using both
contracted and volunteer labor.
