Agenda 12/11/2018 Item #11A12/11/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the County Manager to prepare a Memorandum of Understanding
with the Collier County Public School District outlining the terms of a potential land swap and joint
development project on a County-owned parcel located between Immokalee Road & 4th Avenue
Northeast; work with the adjacent private property owner for potential partnering to obtain access
to the existing traffic signal; conduct Neighborhood Information Meetings for input from residents
and bring back options for potential uses for the property at a future Board meeting.
OBJECTIVE: To provide a short history of the Randall curve property and its potential uses for
government services.
CONSIDERATIONS: The County-owned parcel, known as the 47-acre parcel or the Randall curve
property, originally consisted of 56.69-acres +/- per Plat Book 7, Page 84. However, in 2002 the
Transportation Division purchased 9.1-acres +/- for stormwater retention, resulting in a remainder of
47.57-acres +/-.
On August 17, 2004, County and School District representatives met to discuss the possibility of the
School District exchanging 25-acres +/- property located at Palmetto Ridge High School (School Parcel)
shown on the attached Exhibit B, for a similar size portion of the County-owned 47.57-acre +/- parcel
(County Parcel) located between Immokalee Road and 4th Street Northeast shown on the attached
Exhibit A.
The School District intended to utilize the County Parcel to construct and operate a bus garage,
maintenance facility, and warehouse to include parking, maintaining, fueling, washing, and administering
school buses, trucks, and other vehicles that service eastern Collier County. The County intended to
utilize the School Parcel to increase the foot-print of the proposed regional park to the North.
The remaining 22.57-acres +/- of the County Parcel was intended to be utilized by Collier County Road &
Bridge and Collier County Fleet Management to construct and operate a maintenance and repair facility,
equipment storage area, office buildings, stockpile area, parking, and related operations.
In March 2006, Q. Grady Minor prepared a site development plan for the proposed School District and
County Transportation improvements on the County-owned property. See attached Exhibit C. During
the next several months, Q. Grady Minor began preparation of the Conditional Use Permit Application as
the County Parcel is zoned Estates and the two intended uses are permitted, but as Conditional Uses. An
independent appraisal was obtained, and an Interlocal Agreement between the School District and the
County was drafted. The Conditional Use and the Interlocal Agreement were not finalized.
In 2006, one of the challenges was access onto Immokalee Road at the existing traff ic signal. Access at
this location might be feasible by exploring a potential partnership with an adjacent private property
owner as shown on Exhibit F.
On May 15, 2007, the proposed land swap project became inactive due to the recession, Parks &
Recreation’s inability to obtain suitable access from Oil Well Road, and water and sewer services not
being immediately available at the County Parcel.
The County and the School District are interested in revitalizing the land swap that would provide the
District with acreage for a School Bus Garage and related facilities (Exhibit B). In exchange, the District
would provide the County with acreage to increase pickleball parking at the East Naples Community Park
11.A

12/11/2018
(Exhibit D) as well as acreage at Palmetto Ridge High School (Exhibit E). The latter acreage would be
utilized to increase the foot-print of the regional park to the North and facilitate the interconnect between
the future Northeast utility facilities and the former Orangetree utility facilities, which are now owned and
operated by the Collier County Water-Sewer District. The County’s proposed operations at this location
would include facilities for Road & Bridge, Fleet Management, Collier Area Transit Bus parking &
administrative offices (Exhibit D). Once the School District’s foot-print is agreed upon, offsetting
acreage will be provided to the County by the District at the locations mentioned above. The parcels
involved will be transferred in fee.
FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues at this time, and requires majority vote for any Board action. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize the County Manager to prepare a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Collier County Public School District outlining the terms of a potential land swap
and joint development project on a County-owned parcel located between Immokalee Road & 4th Avenue
Northeast; work with the adjacent private property owner for potential partnering to obtain access to the
existing traffic signal; conduct Neighborhood Information Meetings for input from residents and bring
back options for potential uses for the property at a future Board meeting.

inability to obtain suitable access from Oil Well Road, and water and sewer services not being immediately

August 2017: Growth Management staff was tasked with coordinating with the various agencies a shared
use facility that would enhance government services to the Golden Gate Estates residents to include
facilities for Road & Bridge, Fleet Management, Collier Area Transit bus parking and office, School
District Bus Garage and associated facilities, relocation of North Collier Fire Control & Rescue District
station currently located at Immokalee Road & Randall Boulevard, and a future commercial component
along Immokalee Road.
December 11, 2018: The Board of County Commissioners will be provided a staff report and the
recommendation to authorize the County Manager to prepare a Memorandum of Understanding with the
School District outlining the land swap transaction, to work with the adjacent private property owner for
potential partnering to obtain access to the existing traffic signal, to conduct Neighborhood Information
Meetings for input from residents, and to bring back options for the Board to consider potential uses of the
property to a future Board meeting
