Conservation Collier preserve property located in Section 24, Township 49, Range 26,
Collier County. The property was originally offered to Conservation Collier in 2006 as
part of Cycle 4. It was placed on thc "'BOO list. In Cyclc 5, the property was automatically
re.-evaluated, which resulted in it being placed on the "COO list, primarily due to the
potential fl,r a road to be located (\11 the property. The owners resubmitted an application

subsequently approved fix a<,:'quisiti()l1 by the BO'lrd of Counly Commissioners in January
2000. Duc to lack of available funds, thc appraisal was delayed until November 2009.
An offer was made and accepted in February 2010.

realized, the County's Transportation Department would need to use the Exceptional
Benefits Ordinance (Ord. No. 2006-58) to acquire the lands. This process does not
guarantee approval to acquire conservation lands, and it is worth noting that should this
road become necessary, the Transportation Department would also need to use the
Exceptional Benefits process to acquire the adjoining Conservation Collier land for right-
of-way purposes.
A 2003 report by Southern Biomes, Inc. prepared for the Board of County
Commissioners and the Collier County Natural Resources Department titled North Belle
Meade Overlav Habitat Recoverv Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodvecker identified
lands including the Kirby parcel as important for RCW habitat. This report was used to
develop special vegetation retention regulations for Section 24 within the Transfer of
Development Rights (TDR) Program for the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMU).
As a result, Section 24, located within the North Belle Meade Overlay, was designated as
"Neutral" with additional vegetation protections added. Amendments to the Growth
Management Plan in 2007 based on this designation resulted in the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) finding the County to be in non-compliance over what it
considered inadequate Section 24 protections for RCWs. Since that time, the County,
DCA and Section 24 landowners have been involved in a settlement process, which has
not yet been completed but which will likely result in some combination of additional
requirements to protect RCW habitat. Acquisition of the Kirby parcel will provide an
additional level ofprotections for RCWs on the parcel.
Proiected Manal!:ement Activities:
Projected management activities will include removal of invasive exotic plants (which
are minimal), management of vegetation to benefit RCWs, possible development of a
small (less than 20 spaces) public parking lot, and development of an Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) fully accessible trail. Should the projected road not come to
fruition, a public rest room (under 500 square feet in size) may be considered for this
parcel to facilitate public visitation at the Nancy Payton Preserve.
