EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the placement of the remaining 5.11 acre Bembridge property
located on Santa Barbara Boulevard for sale at a price at or near market value, but not less
than $450,000.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approves the placement of
the remaining 5.11 acre parcel identified as Tract "A" of BembJidge PUD ("Property") for sale at
or near market value, based on recent appraisals, but not less than the amount required
reimbursing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) impact fees and the associated costs of
approximately $450,000.
CONSIDERATIONS: On December II, 2001, the Board approved the purchase of 7 acres by
EMS within the BembJidge PUD at a cost of $79,608/per acre which was paid from EMS Impact
Fees. An EMS station was subsequently built and occupies 1.89 acres. The minimum sale price
of $450,000 for the remaining 5.11 acres represents the proportionate per acre original purchase
price, plus out of pocket costs, included for purchase and potential sale, such as survey, title,
appraisal, publication. On March 28, )006, Agenda Item ION, the Board designated the
Property, purchased for the proposed Emergency Services Complex, as a site for the
development of affordable housing. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and brought
before the Board on May 27, 2008, Agenda Item lOB. Due to the glut of low cost housing
available in the County, the BCC declined to award the RFP.
Subsequently, Property was ear-marked in discussions between the County and the Shucart
family as potential partial payment toward a boat launch facility in Port of the Islands. On
October 14, 2008, Agenda Item lOA, Coastal Zone Management staff requested direction from
the Board to proceed with the purchase of a Port of the Islands Marina and boat launch facility,
with the Property being offered in partial trade at a value of $1.4 million. The Board directed
the issue be brought back. This item was brought back to the Board on November 18, 2008,
Agenda Item IOK, and the Property was no longer in consideration for partial funding of this
purchase. On October 27, 2009 the Board rejected the rezone of Property to accommodate a
recycling center, Agenda Item IOD.
In light of the foregoing, EMS staff is seeking approval to place the Property on the market, to be
sold at a fair market price, but not less than the amount required to reimburse EMS impact fees
and the associated costs of approximately $450,000 Because impact fees have dropped
dramatically over the past several years due to the slowdown in new construction, EMS has been
severely constrained in developing any needed facilities due to lack of funding and access to
reasonable commercial paper loans. The funds from this sale could be applied toward the
construction of a much needed facility at the Vanderbilt Road and Logan Boulevard site
purchased on March 28, 2006, Agenda Item ION. Alternatively, the proceeds of this sale could
be returned to the EMS Impact Fee Fund and utilized for debt service on existing loans.
FISCAL IMPACT: All proceeds from the sale of this property would be returned to the EMS
Impact Fee Fund 350.
_ LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Whether to sell the Property is a policy decision. Section
125.35, F.S., sets forth the legal prerequisites for the sale, At this juncture, the Board must first
