CCLAAC –Mejia (WH 1.14 acres)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase for 1.14 acres within the Winchester Head Multi-
parcel Project under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, at a cost not to exceed
$14,800 (Mejia).
OBJECTIVE: Request approval of the attached Agreement for Sale and Purchase (Agreement) between
the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and Dalton Mejia (Seller).
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2005, Agenda Item 10D, the 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 16 A 34, 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 25, 2011, Agenda Item 10B, the Board accepted CCLAAC’s recommended Cycle 8
AAL, placing Winchester Head Multi-parcel 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 Winchester Head Multi -parcel
Project.
The Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project consists of 115 parcels and a total of 158.67 acres. To date,
Conservation Collier has acquired 46 parcels for a total of 64.19 acres, and the Collier Soil and Water
Conservation District has acquired 2 parcels totaling 2.28 acres.
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 is $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.
Pursuant to Ordinance 2007-65, Section 13(8), a Project Design Report for the property is provided
herewith.

$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

Cycle 9 Updates -April 9, 2018
BCP LLLP – Big Hammock Areas I and II – Valuation
under SSA – Area II
This property was value estimated considering the now-
existing SSA #13 over Area II, however, since the parcels
are not currently segregated out, the value was spread
over the entire 1,035-acre offering. The SSA credits for
the entire 7,414.0 lands under the SSA are 27,515.3, of
which 6,599.2 are considered Restoration Stewardship
Credits, and are not received until restoration activities
have been completed. They have not been completed.
The owners have indicated they may still want to
complete the restoration to gain the credits, which would
leave the parcel with initial restoration done, but
responsibility for ongoing maintenance is unclear. The
restoration map to the right shows in orange where these
places are to be. Note that parcel II includes a portion of
them. Once the credits are available for transfer, the
entire credit amount will allow the owner to entitle
3,439.4 acres for development within the RLSA. The
following uses have been removed from Area II under SSA
#13:
• Residential – single family, docks, golf courses
parks, playgrounds, ballfields
• General Conditional Uses (like family care facilities, transfer sites, veterinary clinic, zoo,
aquarium, churches etc.
• Earth Mining and Processing uses – excavation, extraction or earth mining, concrete plants
• Recreational Uses – gold courses, sports schools and camps, sporting and recreational camps
(confirming whether this applies to outdoor camping).
• Agriculture Group 1 – crops, horticulture, groves, nurseries
• Agricultural Support Uses – Farm labor housing, retail sale of ag products, retail plant nurseries,
packinghouses, reptile breeding, beekeeping.
Reminder: Please be aware that should the CCLAAC decide to recommend Area I or II separately,
easements will be required. If only Area I were to be acquired, the owners will require an easement
through Area I to get to Area II. If only Area II were to be acquired, Conservation collier would need to
acquire an easement from the owners through Area I to get to Area II.

IV. Old Business
None
V. New Business
A. Presentation – Darrell Land FWC Panther Team
Mr. Land provided an overview of Florida Panther data gathered over the past 30 +/- years by the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission which may aid the Committee in selecting
lands for acquisition. He noted:
The current panther population is estimated at 150 – 230 with approximately 5 percent of
the animals “tagged” for tracking.
The main cause of premature deaths is vehicle collisions and over the years fencing and
wildlife crossings have been installed which has been very successful in helping to address
the issue.
Although the North Belle Meade area has been identified as occupied panther habitat and
experienced breeding activity, over the long term as the Golden Gate area continues to
develop, the areas further inland will be more viable habitat for the animal.
Panther mitigation banks, a Federal program has been extremely successful in promoting
preservation of the species.
B. Presentation – Mike Bosi – Planning and Zoning Director
Mr. Bosi presented a PowerPoint on the County’s planning activities for the County. He noted:
The goals of the County’s future planning activities include creating a range of housing
opportunities and choices; creating walkable neighborhoods; encouraging community and
stakeholder collaboration and fostering distinct, attractive communities with a strong sense
of place.
The County is utilizing smart growth principles such as promoting equitable, cost effective
development decisions; creating opportunities for mixed land uses; promoting preservation
of open space, farmland and critical environmental areas; providing a variety of
transportation choices, etc.
The are currently 4 restudies of County plans ongoing (Golden Gate Area Master Plan,
Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, Immokalee Area Master Plan and the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area) and the County is reviewing issues such as the qualify of life, design
principles, economic vitality and adequate housing availability and transportation
opportunities in the areas.
The current “build out” population for the County is identified at 875,223 persons.

Under Committee discussion, the following was noted:
The Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (serving Collier, Hendry, Lee, Sarasota
and Glades County) conducts research to develop and maintain area wide goals, objectives,
and policies for the region.
One concern is the frequency those living in the eastern portion of the County will utilize
the beaches given the already limited supply of beach parking and access in the County.
The RLSA density is currently a maximum of 4 units per acre which the County hopes
developer utilize at the maximum to ensure the areas are economically viable and support
mixed uses in the areas.
Planning Staff believes the largest benefit of Conservation Collier’s program is assisting in
addressing the stormwater management and water quality issues in the North Golden Gate
Estates Area as opposed to any focusing on the environmentally sensitive RLSA areas
which will be protected through the program.
The County restudy of the 4 previously mentioned plans is anticipated to be completed
over the next 2 years.
The “build out” number projected is based on the remaining amount of developable land at
which time activities would transition to redevelopment of the properties (if needed).
The Immokalee area is not incorporated into the RLSA program as it is comprised of
primarily 6 major landowners and “self contained.” The area would contribute indirectly
as there are commercial/industrial development opportunities which may support the
RLSA developments.
K. Qualified Proposal Updates and Analysis Charts- cycle 9 (this item was heard after item B)
Ms. Sulecki presented the “Conservation Collier Cycle 9 – Qualified Proposal Updates 3-12-18”
and “Ranking Analysis Charts” for information purposes. She provided an update on the
properties considered for acquisition noting the Hussey property has been removed from the list
for consideration due to the owner making an offer to the County and the time needed to evaluate
it and the projected cost of the property being more than Conservation Collier has available.
Speaker
Rocky Scofield, landowner of the Half Circle L Ranch noted:
There is a Habitat Conservation Plan for the area, however they are not actively
participating in it at this point and would opt out if they receive a qualified offer for the
lands.
Florida Forever is interested in the western portions of the property (1,900 acres of the
3,300 acres total) and if the purchase comes to fruition they would be willing to sell the
remaining lands with the exception of the row crop areas to the County.
If Florida Forever does not acquire the property, all lands as noted above would be
available to the County.
They are willing to sell just the eastern 3 sections of the Okaloacoochee Slough – 1,920
acres.
The Committee requested Staff to provide a brief synopsis at the “ranking meeting” for the
acquisition options for the two proposals identified by Mr. Scofield.
C. ICSR Report – Barron Collier Partnership LLLP – Big Hammock
Ms. Sulecki presented the “Baron Collier Partnership, LLLP – Big Hammock Conservation
Collier Initial Criteria Screening Report” dated 1-8-18 for information purposes. She noted:

There are 2 parcels associated with the proposal and access to the properties would be an
issue if they are not purchased together, however the landowner would consider separating
the parcels.
The parcels are RLSA sending lands and the owner has removed development credits
which reducesthe price of the lands being offered to the County.
The owner is willing to fund restoration costs, and remove the restoration credits which
activity could occur at a later date.
