Agenda 06/22/2021 Item #16A12 (Agreement - Barron Canal Maintenance)06/22/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for the acquisition of a boat ramp, access and maintenance
easement (Parcel 102AME) to facilitate Collier County’s maintenance of the Barron Canal.
OBJECTIVE: To acquire a perpetual boat ramp, access and maintenance easement (Parcel 102AME)
over private property adjacent to the Barron Canal, for the construction of two boat ramps, fencing, and
ancillary improvements to facilitate the County’s scheduled maintenance of the Barron Canal.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County currently maintains the Barron Canal (also known as the Barron
Collier Canal, the SR 29 Canal, and the Everglades-Immokalee Canal), located along SR 29. For better
access to the Canal for purposes of performing scheduled maintenance, the County’s Road Maintenance
Division has identified adjacent private property upon which the County desires to construct two boat
ramps, fencing, and ancillary improvements, and for which an easement from the property owner will be
required. The property owner, Sunniland Family Limited Partnership, has agreed to donate Parcel
102AME to the County and has executed the proposed Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for miscellaneous closing and recording fees not to exceed $100 will be
required. Funds are available in Storm Water Fund (103), Stormwater Maintenance Cost Center
(172929). The Road Maintenance Division will be providing regular cycled maintenance to the proposed
easement area, including mowing, litter control, fence and ramp upkeep at an estimated cost of $3,000 per
fiscal year. These annual costs will be absorbed within the division's annual maintenance budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this
item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires a
majority vote for Board approval. - JAB
