Agenda 07/22/2008 Item #10DAgenda Item No. 10D July 22, 2008 Page 1 of 41 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to confirm direction for the County Manager or his designee, regarding the purchase of the Hamilton property, to consider an offer higher than the previously declined offer and to consider the existing structures on the property; recommendation for the Board to consider The Conservation Fund (TCF) to be an intermediary purchaser to the Hamilton sale; and recommendation for the Board to direct the County Manager or his designee to pursue a legally sufficient Agreement for Sale and Purchase with TCF and execute whatever document(s) are necessary for TCF to proceed with a North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) grant application on behalf of the Board after approval for legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office. OBJECTIVE: To have the Board direct the County Manager or his designee, in regard to purchase of the Hamilton property, to consider a higher offer than the previously declined offer and to consider and make recommendation on presence of existing structures; to have the Board approve using TCF, a national non - profit environmental organization, as an intermediary purchaser to the Hamilton sale and as a preparer of the NAWCA grant application; and to have the Board direct the County Manager or his designee to pursue a legally sufficient Agreement for Sale and Purchase with TCF and execute whatever document(s) are necessary for TCF to proceed with an NAWCA grant application on behalf of the Board after approval for legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office. CONSIDERATIONS: On January 23, 2007, Agenda Item 10A, the Board approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee ( CCLAAC) recommended Active Acquisition List for Cycle 4, with changes, and directed staff to actively pursue acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. One of the properties on this list was a parcel, approximately 194 acres with structures, owned by Joseph Hamilton. Two appraisals were prepared under the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy (Resolution No. 2003 -195) by appraisers on the County's approved vendor list and provided to the County on April 4, 2007. These appraisers and values are as follows: 1. Coastal Engineering - $1,700,000 2. Callaway and Price - $1,550,000 Pursuant to Resolution No. 2003 -195, an offer was made on April 9, 2007 for $1,625,000.00. On May 9, 2007, the County's offer was refused and the offer for the sale of the property was rescinded by the owner. At the September 11, 2007 Board meeting, the property owner petitioned the Board to reconsider the purchase. The Board discussed the item and advised that the property owner can resubmit the parcel to the CCLAAC for reconsideration. The CCLAAC was informed of the Board's direction at the October 8, 2007 CCLAAC meeting, and subsequently, at time of yearly ranking, recommended the Hamilton property be placed back on the A- portion of the Active Acquisition List. Pursuant to the revised Conservation Collier Purchase Policy (Resolution No. 2003 -195 was superseded by Resolution No. 2007 -300), once an offer has been made and refused, the offer is deemed to be expired. Subsequently, if after 6 months have elapsed and if the owner decided to re -offer the property for sale, new appraisals would be ordered at the expense of the property owner. Hamilton Executive Summary Agenda Item No. 10D July 22, 2008 Page 2 of 41 On January 29, 2008, Agenda Item 10F, the Board approved a Collier Conservation Land Acquisition Advisory Committee ( CCLAAC) recommended Active Acquisition List- Cycle 5, with changes, and directed staff to actively pursue acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. One of the properties on the Cycle 5 A -list was the Hamilton parcel. The property owner supplied the County with a check for the costs of the appraisals and in May 2008, County staff received two new appraisals. The appraisers and values are as follows: 1. Boyd, Schmidt & Brannum - $2,215,300 2. Real Property Analysts - $2,134,000 Due to current comparable sales, the values are higher than the year before. There are recent purchases by developers for mitigation land that were used as comparable values in the new appraisals. Pursuant to Conservation Collier Purchasing Policy, an offer based on the average of the two appraisals would be $2,174,650. The difference between this offer and our previous offer is $549,650 Additionally, TCF has recently proposed to assist the Board with this purchase by contracting with the owner for a slightly reduced value in return for speed and surety of transaction. TCF will purchase the Hamilton property. During that closing, TCF will simultaneously convey the Hamilton property to the Board. TCF will prepare and submit, at its sole cost, a $1 million NAWCA grant application on behalf of the Board. The Board will then purchase the Hamilton property for the current offer value of $2,174,650 from TCF with the potential of receiving the grant at no additional charge. The Board will not be responsible for TCF's pursuit of the grant application. Staff at TCF is familiar with the NAWCA grant requirements and feel they can assist the Board in achieving this award, at no risk or outlay for the Board. A legally sufficient Agreement for Sale and Purchase utilizing the County's standard contract, with revisions contemplating a simultaneous closing, will be brought back to the Board at a later date for the chairman's signature. NAWCA requires a partner letter be submitted with the grant application that indicates that if the grant is awarded, the matching partner (Board) will place a notice of grant agreement on the deed of land that is being used as match for the grant. The Cycle 4 and Cycle 5 incurred acquisitions of the Mcllvane Marsh properties, $1,968,500, will be used as additional match in order to maximize points awarded on the NAWCA grant application. Staff has been in contact with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) representatives who are interested in repurchasing the Hamilton property from Conservation Collier in the future to add it to the adjoining Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Such a transaction would be several years in the future. In the mean time, USFWS is interested in leasing the building from Conservation Collier to maintain a law enforcement presence on the property. At its June 9`h, 2008 public meeting, the CCLAAC made the following recommendations: • Inspect the Chickee building prior to closing and snake sure it is sound and valued appropriate to condition, • Leave asphalt paving as is, • Inspect docks and wooden walkways and if in sound condition, leave as is. Staff would add: If not in sound condition, remove at owner's expense, • Inspect and remove unpermitted septic system at owner's expense prior to closing or within an agreed -upon time frame after closing, • Leave the well as is, • Remove the "Wind Dancer Airboat Tours" sign prior to closing and include language in the contract to confirm the Code Enforcement Lien is paid prior to closing or from closing proceeds, Agenda Item No. 10D July 22, 2008 Page 3 of 41 • Require owners to remove the alligator pens within a specified time -frame (post acquisition). Options for the Board to consider include: • Making no offer for the Hamilton property, • Making an offer of $2,174,650 (in this case staff would prepare a NAWCA grant application) • Directing the County Manager or his designee to pursue a legally sufficient Agreement for Sale and Purchase with TCF as an intermediary purchaser and execute whatever document(s) are necessary for TCF to proceed with an NAWCA grant application on behalf of the Board after approval for legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office. (TCF's experience with NAWCA grants increases the chance of a grant award at no risk to the Board). FISCAL IMPACT: The average of the two appraisal values returned for the Hamilton property is $2,174,650. Additional costs incurred or expected are: • Phase 1 ESA — incurred - $6,664 — no concerns identified • Appraisals (2)— incurred - $10,200 (additional $15,950 paid by Hamilton for new appraisals) • Title search — expected - $8,500 • Recording— expected - $50 NAWCA grant funds of approximately $1 million dollars will be reimbursed to the Board if the NAWCA grant is received. 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: The Board may choose any of the above -three options as they are all legally sufficient. This item is legally sufficient for the Board's consideration. — JAB RECOMMENDATION: That the Board direct the County Manager or his designee to pursue a legally sufficient Agreement for Sale and Purchase with TCF to be an intermediary purchaser to the Hamilton sale, accept the CCLAAC's recommendations regarding existing structures, and execute whatever document(s) are necessary for TCF to proceed with an NAWCA grant application on behalf of the Board after approval for legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office.
