The Program was active in acquisition between 2003 and 2011, under the terms of the referendum. Between 2011 and 2016, the Program was in management mode. In On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-establishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. This Initial Criteria Screening Report (ICSR) has been prepared for the Conservation Collier Program in its 101" acquisition cycle to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. It provides objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. That is the sole purpose for this report and it is not meant for any other use. This property was categorized as an "A" List property (Exhibit R) on July 10, 2018, by the Board of County Commissioners. This report makes use of data layers from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory and University of Florida Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP4). CLIP4 is a collection of spatial data that identify statewide priorities for a broad range of natural resources in Florida. It was developed through a collaborative effort between the Florida Areas Natural Inventory (FNAI), the University of Florida GeoPlan Center and Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It is used in the Florida Forever Program to evaluate properties for acquisition. CLIP4 is organized into a set of core natural resource data layers which are representative of 5 resource categories: biodiversity, landscapes, surface water, groundwater and marine. The first 3 categories have also been combined into the Aggregated layer, which identifies 5 priority levels for natural resource conservation. Not all CLIP4 Layers were used in this report. Those used include: • Biodiversity • Surface Water Priorities • Landscape Integrity • Priority Natural Communities • Potential Habitat Richness (Vertebrates) • Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas • Aggregated Conservation Priorities Following the first section, which looks more closely at initial criteria, additional sections address potential for appropriate public use, assessment of management needs and costs, potential for matching funds, and a summary of the secondary screening criteria. I. Summary of Property Information The purpose of this section is to provide information concerning the subject property to describe how the property meets each Program criteria in its various physical characteristics and to provide other general property information.

A value of the parcel was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. Each is based on the principal of substitution that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the rights in acquiring a particular real property than the cost of acquiring, without undue delay, an equally desirable one. Three properties were selected for comparison, each with similar site characteristics, utility availability, zoning classification and road access. No inspection was made of the property or comparables used in this report and the Real Estate Services Department staff relied upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, two appraisals are required. Estimated Assessed Value: * Property Acreage Assessed Value Parcel "a" 289.57 $759,458 Parcel "b" 111.08 $670,859 Total 400.65 $1,430,317 * The Assessed Value is based off of the current use of the property. Estimated Market Value: ** "ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE" IS SOLELY AN ESTIMATE OF VALUE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON BY ANY ENTITY. Property Acreage Estimated Value Range Parcel "a" 289.57 $3,683,700 Parcel "b" 111.08 $1,116,300 Total 400.65 $4,207,000 The Estimated Market Value was based on the entire acreage at $10,500 per acre. The adjusted per acre range of value for the subject property is $7,000 to $14,000 for an average of $10,500 per acre. The landfill area is approximately 16 acres. Instead of pulling the 16 acres out of the valuation, the average per acre value is used, being $10,500 per acre with the land fill area included, little or no value is given to this area. * Property Appraiser's Website ** Collier County Real Estate Services Department Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. Parcel a. is zoned Agricultural with a Mobile Home Overlay. Parcel b. is zoned Estates. Additionally, a portion of both are within a Special Treatment/Wellfield Protection Zone.

Statement for satisfying Initial Screening Criteria, Including Biological and Hydrological Characteristics The purpose of this section is to provide a closer look at how the property meets initial criteria. Conservation Collier Program staff conducted a site visit previously on October 30, 2017 and December 18, 2017; and recently on April 29, 2021. MEETS INITIAL SCREENING CRITERIA 1. Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(a) YES i. Hardwood hammocks YES ii. Xeric oak scrub No iii. Coastal strand No iv. Native beach No v. Xeric pine No vi. Riverine Oak No vii. High marsh (saline) No viii. Tidal freshwater marsh No ix. Other native habitats YES FLUCCS Communities mapped include: 4110 Pine flatwoods, 6170 Mixed wetland hardwoods, 6172 Mixed wetland hardwoods -shrubs, 6210 Cypress, 6216 Cypress -mixed hardwoods, 6300 Mixed wetland forest, and 6410 Freshwater marsh Vegetative Communities: Staff used two methods to determine native plant communities present: review of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) electronic databases for Department of Transportation's Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms (FLUCCS) and field verification of same. The electronic database identified in order of dominance: FLUCCS Acres 4110 — Pine flatwoods 127 6170— Mixed wetland hardwoods 68 6210 — Cypress 25 6172 — Mixed wetland hardwoods -shrubs 23 6410 — Freshwater marsh 9 6216 — Cypress -mixed hardwoods 5 6300— Mixed wetland forest 1 Also identified were 16 acres of Landfill identified as 3100 Dry prairie; and 5 acres of 4224 Brazilian pepper. The following native plant communities were observed: FLUCCS 4110 - Pine Flatwoods 6170 - Mixed wetland hardwoods 6410 — Freshwater marsh 6210 — Cypress 6172 - Mixed wetland hardwoods -shrubs 4260—Tropical hardwood hammock Page 10 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 There was no real hard demarcation between habitats. They blended into one another with most areas indicative of an ecotone between wetland and upland habitats. Pine flatwoods appeared to be transitioning into hardwood areas, likely due to lack of fire. The tropical hardwood hammock observed had a canopy of mostly cabbage palms with scattered mature live oaks and strangler fig. The midstory contained many tropical plant species. The Pine flatwoods area has been selectively logged of pine on the Sanitation property "parcel a" since last review of this property occurred in 2018. The owner advised they plan to treat exotics that have come in as a result of the logging and clean up debris and/or rutting in the staging areas resulting from the logging effort. Exotic treatment is scheduled for middle to late September, weather permitting. Staff will complete a visit of the property in late October after the treatment. Staff will update the Advisory Committee of the site visit findings at their subsequent meeting and ahead of the ranking of the Cycle list. Characterization of Plant Communities present: Ground Cover: Pine flatwood: Groundcover consisted primarily of swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum), woodwardia fern (Woodwardia virginica), sword fern (Nephrolepis sp.), bracken fern (Pteridium acquilinum), sleepy morning (Waltheria indica), chocolate weed (Melochia cordifolia), beauty berry (Callicarpa americana), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), wild coffee (Psychotiria nervosa and P. sulznerii), coral bean (Erythrina herbecea), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), False buttonweed (Spermacoce remota), southern dewberry (Rubus trivialis), frostweed (Verbesena virginica), Spanish bayonet (Yucca aloifolia) with scattered toothpetal (Habernaria odontopetala) and monk orchids (Oeceoclades maculata), with various grasses and forbs.

Exotic plants observed in these areas constituted approximately 35-40% and included Brazilian pepper, wedelia, shoebutton ardisia, Java plum, guava, strawberry guava, bishopwood, Ceasar's weed, climbing cassia, rosary pea, melaleuca, and one area of climbing fern. Cypress: Very little groundcover existed in cypress areas, except strap fern, leather fern and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Freshwater wetlands: Groundcover included swamp fern, duck potato (Sagittaria lancifolia), alligator flag (Thalia geniculate), Virginia buttonweed (Diodia virginiana), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), maidencane (Panicum hemitomum), false nettle, climbing aster (Aster Page 11 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 carolinianus), yellow -eyed grass (Xyris sp.), bladderwort (Utricularia sp.), fringe rush (Fimbristylis spp.), soft rush (Juncus sp.), willow (Salix sp.), and scattered cattails (Typha latifolia). Exotic plants observed constituted approximately 60% in some areas and much less in others and included torpedo grass, Brazilian pepper and melaleuca. Tropical hardwood hammock: Groundcover consisted mainly of ferns, wild coffee, poison ivy and vines. Midstory: Pine flatwood: The midstory in the drier areas generally included myrsine (Myrsine floridana), cabbage palm (Saba) palmetto), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), buckthorn (Sideroxylon sp.), and coral bean. Mixed wetland hardwood: The midstory here generally included cabbage palm and myrsine, with small amounts of persimmon, coral bean, bay, and dogwood scattered throughout. A few royal palms (Roystonea sp.) were also seen. Vines were an important part of the midstory, including fox grape (Vitis rotundifolia), Caloosa grape (Vitis shuttleworthii), and greenbriar (Smilax spp. ). Cypress: Cypress areas had little to no midstory but included some cabbage palm. Freshwater wetlands: The midstory here were sparse and generally included young red maple (Acer rubrum) and cabbage palms. Tropical hardwood hammock: The Midstory consisted of marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides), cabbage palm, hog plum (ximenia americana), red stopper (Eugenia rhombea), wild lime (Zanthoxylum fagara), satin leaf (Chrysophyllum oliviforme), bay (Persea sp.), white stopper (Eugenia axillaris), and strangler fig (Ficus aurea). A butterfly orchid (Encylia tampensis) was found in this area. Canopy: Pine flatwood: Canopy trees included slash pine (Pinus elliottii), cabbage palm, laurel oak (Quercus laurifoia), live oak (Quercus virginiana), red maple (Acer rubrum) and a cypress (spp?) Mixed wetland hardwood: Canopy trees here included cabbage palm, laurel oak, red maple, popash (Fraxinus caroliniana) and cypress (Taxodium distichum). Cypress: Cypress Freshwater wetlands: These areas had little canopy, but there were scattered cypress and popash. Tropical hardwood hammock: The canopy consisted of primarily cabbage palm, with scattered (large) live oak, strangler fig and a few royal palms (Roystonea regia). Page 12 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Statement for satisfaction of criteria 1: These data indicate that there are at least 5 relatively intact native habitats present where plants typical to the habitat exist, though exotic plant species are numerous and varied. Those areas given a FLUCCS of pine flatwoods had a canopy of pines, and many pine flatwood species were present; however, hardwoods (mostly laurel and live oaks) were creeping in, likely due to lack of fire. There was some evidence of fire, but it was very old. There were several types of hardwood - type habitats denoted in FLUCCS codes, but they appeared of similar character throughout, with cabbage palms and laurel oaks as the dominant tree species, with scattered red maples and cypress, until transitioning into deeper wetlands where cypress dominated.Tropical hardwood hammock, a priority habitat, was visited on 2/5/18, and tropical hardwood hammock species were observed. Species observed are noted in the characterization of plant communities above. 2. Does land offer significant human social values, such as equitable geographic distribution, appropriate access for nature -based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? Ord. 2002-63, sec.10 (10) YES Statement for satisfaction of criteria 2: The parcels are within the urban boundary for the town of Immokalee, slightly over 4 miles from Pepper Ranch Preserve, the closest Conservation Collier property (Figure 1). They are accessible from various points along paved roads, including Bethune Rd., South 5t" St., and Immokalee Road (South 15t St./CR 846), and from the unpaved Sanitation Road. The Bethune Road parcel (parcel b.) can be seen from a major public thoroughfare— Immokalee Road. There are pine flatwoods along Immokalee Road, so potentially, a small parking lot could be created here with trails accessing the rest of the parcels south of the slough, at least in dry season. To traverse the slough, a boardwalk would be necessary. The slough itself is an aesthetic feature in addition to being an important wetland feature. The historic Eustis Landfill was opened in 1947 and was closed in 1992. The County operated the landfill from 1980-1985 under a lease agreement with the current property owner. It closed in 1992, with 20 years of required permit monitoring finally completed in 2012. Groundwater samples obtained from Immokalee Water and Sewer failed to provide indications of contamination because they were downgradient and therefore in the wrong location. Therefore, it is recommended that further testing be completed prior to any potential acquisition of the property. Staff has been in discussions with Collier County Solid Waste and Pollution Control sections and will provide further details at the next Advisory Committee meeting. 3. Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control? Ord. 2002-63, sec.10 (1)(c) YES Page 13 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Figure S. Collier County Watershed Boundaries Wetland dependent plant species (OBL/ FACW) observed: OBL FACW Cypress (Taxodium distichum) Fringe rush (Fimbristylis sp.) Bay (Persea sp.)

An apple snail shell and an active crawfish burrow were found. Page 14 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Other Hydrologic indicators observed: Cypress knees, adventitious rooting on palms, watermarks on trees, and dark organic -rich soils were observed. Soils: Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990) and provided in order of dominance (Exhibit B). Fifty-six (56) % of soils are Upland types and 44% are depressional types. Soil Number and Name Acres Soil Type 37 Tuscawilla FS 131 Upland 25 Boca, Rivera, limestone sub and Copeland FS 109 Depressional 22 Chobee, Winder, and Gator 61 Depressional 29 Wabasso FS 43 Upland 20 Ft. Drum and Malabar high FS 27 Upland 38 Urban land-Matlacha-Boca complex 15 Upland 17 Basinger FS <1 Upland 7 Immokalee FS <1 Upland 34 Urban -Immokalee-Oldsmar, limestone sub, complex <1 Upland *Acres are approximate 400 ac* Aquifer recharge Potential: Aquifer recharge map data was developed by Fairbank, P. and S. Hohner in 1995 and published as Mapping recharge (infiltration and leakage) throughout the South Florida Water Management District, Technical publication 95-20 (DRE # 327), South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Florida. Lower Tamiami recharge Capacity: Recharge capacity is mapped at 0" to <7" annually. This indicates an area of low recharge and potential discharge of aquifer waters (Exhibit C). Surficial Aquifer Recharge Capacity: The surficial aquifer capacity is mapped as 31" to <43", which is a moderate recharge rate (Exhibit C). Wellfield Protection: The northern two-thirds of the parcel a. are within all 4 wellfield protection zones, and the northern half of parcel b. also has portions of all 4 wellfield protection zones, but it primarily is within the 20-year protection zone (Exhibit C). FEMA Flood map designation: The property is currently within Flood Zones AE, AH, and X. The slough and its adjacent wetland buffers (slightly over half of the property) are within AE Zone, which indicates an area subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event. Base flood elevations, mandatory flood insurance and floodplain management standards apply. Under half is within AH Zone, which indicates it is subject to inundation of by the 1-percent-annual- chance flood event where average depths are 1-3 feet, and where base flood elevations, flood insurance and floodplain management standards also apply. A 16-acre portion of the property, the landfill, is in Flood Zone X, which is outside the 500-year floodplain and where flood insurance is not required (Exhibit E). Page 15 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Statement for satisfaction of criteria 3: The properties are approximately half wetland and half upland, in a mosaic pattern with the slough and its associated wetlands covering the northern half of the properties. This slough flows from southeast to northwest and is bounded by forested uplands that buffer its water and wildlife from adjoining urban lands. The parcels are located within the core foraging areas of at least 4 wood stork colonies; it is within primary panther habitat; and it lies within the US Fish and Wildlife Service's consultation area for the Florida bonneted bat, all state and federally listed species that depend at least partly on wetlands. Wetland dependent plants and wildlife were observed on the properties during site visits. The slough is one of the primary overland sources of water to lake Trafford, and it accepts significant water flows that spill out onto adjoining forested lands as evidenced by water marks on cypress and other trees at above 2 feet. Cypress knees reaching 2 feet were observed. Half the soils are depressional (Exhibit 6), corresponding with the slough area in the north and isolated freshwater wetlands dotting the southern half. Surficial aquifer recharge (31" to <43") is moderate, and Lower Tamiami recharge (0 to <7") is minor (Exhibit C), however, the properties lie within all four wellfield protection zones for the Immokalee Water and Sewer wells and are protecting and serving to recharge them. All areas connected with the slough are within FEMA flood zone AE — an area prone to flooding. Residential areas surround the easternmost parcel (parcel b.) and the property is likely providing some level of flood control for those areas. The CLIP4 Surface Water Priorities map layer (Exhibit F) shows this area to be priority 4 out of 5, so statewide, the connection to Lake Trafford is not seen as a priority, but locally, this is an important waterway that feeds Lake Trafford. 4. Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(d) YES Listed Plant Species: The federal authority to protect land -based plant species is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and published in 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 23. Lists of protected plants can be viewed on-line at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/. The Florida state lists of protected plants are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) via chapter 513-40, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and can be found on their website. This list of at Page 16 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 The following listed plant species were observed: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS FDACS USFWS Common wild pine Tillandsia fasciculata E Northern needleleaf Tillandsia balbisiana T Florida royal palm Roystonea regia E Satin Leaf Chrysophyllum oliviforme T Red stopper Eugenia rhombea E E=Endangered, T=Threatened Listed Wildlife Species: Federal wildlife species protection is administered by the FWS with specific authority published in 50 CFR 17. Lists of protected wildlife can be viewed on-line at: https://www.fws.gov/endangered/. FWC maintains the Florida state list of protected wildlife in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, respectively, of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). A list of protected Florida wildlife species can be viewed on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website. Listed species observed include: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS FWC USFWS Osprey Pandion halialetus SSC SSC=Species of Special Concern Bird Rookery observed? No bird rookery was observed or is known. GIS mapped species and habitats: Utilizing both FWC telemetry (1981-2016) maps for Florida panthers, the CLIP4 Biodiversity (Exhibit 1), and Potential Habitat Richness (Exhibit J) GIS mapping layers, data shows that there are no panther telemetry points located on the property, and the two closest are from 2001 and 2012; however, it is likely that panthers do pass through the property. The CLIP4 biodiversity map has both properties categorized as Priority 1(highest). The CLIP4 Potential Habitat Richness maps the bulk of the property as having potential for 5-6 vertebrate species, with the slough area having potential for 7 vertebrate species. The southern portions of both properties have areas with potential for 2-4 vertebrate species. Non -listed species observed: A red -shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus), 2 red -bellied woodpeckers (Melanerpes carolinus), a downy woodpecker ( Picoides pubescens), 2 white ibis (Eudocimus albus), a snowy egret (Egretta thula), and a blue gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) were observed during the December 18, 2017 site visit. Page 17 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Some Potential State and Federal Listed Species: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS FWC USFWS American alligator Alligator Mississippiensis FT (S/A) T (S/A) Everglades snail kite Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus FE E Little blue heron Egretta caerulea ST American kestrel Falco sparverius paulus ST Florida bonneted bat Eumops floridanus FE E Wood stork Mycteria Americana FT T Everglades mink Neovison vison evergladensis ST Florida panther Puma concolor coryi FE E Eastern indigo snake Drymorchoncorais couperi FT T Everglades snail kite Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus FE E Statement for satisfaction of criteria 4: This property offers biological value for both upland and wetland species. In slough areas, according to the CLIP4 Potential Habitat Richness layer (Exhibit J), the habitat would support 7 vertebrate species. In other areas, the habitats would support 2 to 6 vertebrate species. The CLIP4 Biodiversity layer (Exhibit 1) shows the slough and its adjoining buffer lands to be the highest priority. While panthers have not been documented on the property, they likely use it to travel around the edges of Immokalee. Known wood stork colonies are close, and the wetlands likely provide foraging areas for them. The properties are within the consultation area for the Florida bonneted bat and could provide habitat. The properties are connected westward with Lake Trafford through the slough, which then connects to the 2,512- acre Pepper Ranch Preserve and 60,000 acres of CREW lands. South from Lake Trafford there is a landscape connection through the Camp Keais Strand and its SSAs with the 26,400 acre Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, the 85,000 acre Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve State Park and the 729,000-acre Big Cypress Preserve. Eastward, there is a connection through undeveloped lands to the 32,370 acre Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest, the 21,714-acre Dinner Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and additional privately protected lands. All in all, there is a connection with close to a million preserved acres. Restoration potential is high, but may be costly. Exotic removal is the primary means of restoration considered. The ecological quality is moderate at present, but with active habitat management could be much higher. Page 18 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 S. Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(e) YES Statement for satisfaction of criteria: The property is directly adjacent to a 7.5-acre conservation property owned by Collier County, received in mitigation for an adjacent residential development. It is connected through the Immokalee slough to Lake Trafford and its surrounding wetlands, and through them to close to 1,000,000 conserved acres, including the following conservation lands north of 1-75 (Figure 4): • Pepper Ranch Preserve — 2,512 acres • CREW and associated SFWMD lands — 60,000 acres • SSA lands — approximately 30,000 acres • Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge — 26,240 acres • Big Cypress National Park — 729,000 acres Is the property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? NO If yes, will use of Conservation Collier funds leverage a significantly higher rank or funding priority for the parcel? NO Page 19 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 III. Potential for Appropriate Use and Recommended Site Improvements Potential Uses as Defined in Ordinance No. 2002-67, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-65, section 5.9: Hiking: Hiking would be an appropriate use once trails were installed. There are currently no, or very faint, trails. Nature Photography: This would be an appropriate use once trails were installed. Bird -watching: This would be an appropriate use with trails and/or a boardwalk. Kayaking/Canoeing: It is not realistic to consider kayaking or canoeing within the slough itself as a public use, as the cypress forest is thick, but it is likely that a small kayak could traverse it in wet season. Swimming: There are likely alligators and venomous snakes present so this would not be an appropriate use. Hunting: This property is too small and close to the urban area for hunting to be a reasonable use. Fishing: This would not be an appropriate use as slough waters are not deep enough for sport fishing. Recommended Site Improvements: Access improvements, parking area and trails on the southern portions of the properties are recommended. Trails should avoid the slough except potentially a spot to view the wetlands. In the future, with funding, a boardwalk could be placed through the slough. Access: The parcel can be accessed from Bethune Road, 5t" St. South, and 1t" St. South. There is also access at Sanitation Road, however, there has been a security concern expressed by Immokalee Water and Sewer regarding public use of this lime rock road as it leads to sensitive areas. Additionally, the Immokalee Water and Sewer indicated they have an access easement over Sanitation Road and would need to continue to have this as it is their only access to section 8, where their spray fields are located. Page 20 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 IV. Assessment of Management Needs and Costs Management of this property will address the costs of exotic vegetation removal and control, and provide an estimate for funding needs for construction of a boardwalk to allow the public to have access to selected portions of the property. The following assessment addresses both the initial and recurring costs of management. These are very preliminary estimates; Ordinance No. 2002-67, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-65, requires a formal land management plan be developed for each property acquired by Conservation Collier. Exotic, Invasive Plants Present: Exotic, invasive species noted here are taken from the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (FLEPPC) 2016 List of Invasive Plant Species (Category I and Category 11). FLEPPC is an independent incorporated advisory council created to support the management of invasive exotic plants in Florida's natural areas by providing a forum for exchanging scientific, educational and technical information. Its members come primarily from public educational institutions and governmental agencies. Annual lists of invasive plant species published by this organization are used widely in the state of Florida for regulatory purposes. The current FLEPPC list (2016) can be viewed on-line at http://www.fleppc.org/list/list.htm. Category I plants are those which are altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives. This definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological damage caused. Category II invasive exotics have increased in abundance or frequency but have not yet altered Florida plant communities to the extent shown by Category species. These species may become Category I if ecological damage is demonstrated. Category I and II plants found on this parcel in order of observed abundance: Category I Common Name Scientific Name Brazilian pepper Schinus terebinthifolius Bishopwood Bischofia javanica Climbing cassia Senna pendula Guava Psidium guajava Strawberry guava Psidium cattleianum Caesar's weed Urena lobata Melaleuca Melaleuca quinquinerva Mimosa Albizia sp. (julibrissin or lebbeck) Air potato Dioscorea bulbifera Shoebutton ardesia Ardesia elliptica Napier grass Pennisetum purpureum Torpedo grass Panicum repens Java plum Sysygium cumini Arrowhead vine Syngonium podophyllum Australian pine Casuarina sp. Page 21 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Category II Common Name Scientific Name Bowstring hemp Sansevieria hyacinthoides Staff observations are that invasive exotic plants have a strong foothold in almost upland areas visited, but less so in wetland and slough areas. Property edges have significant Brazilian pepper, and there are some very large Brazilian pepper trees in internal areas as well. Adjacent to residential areas there is evidence of house and landscape plant escapes, as stands of bowstring hemp, bishop wood, banana (Musa sp.), and arrowhead vine were found. Exotic Vegetation Removal and Control An estimate of the cost for initial exotic removal and follow-up maintenance was determined based on actual costs for similar work at the Pepper Ranch Preserve. Based on the actual cost for initial exotic removal at Pepper Ranch Preserve ($820/ac), costs for the initial removal for 400 acres, killing exotics in place, would be $328,000. These costs could be significantly less as slough areas may not have much infestation. This is a high estimate. Estimated costs for follow-up maintenance, done anywhere from quarterly to annually are based on actual costs for follow-up exotic maintenance at Pepper Ranch Preserve ($169/ac) and are estimated at a total of $67,700 annually for 400 acres. These costs could be less if slough areas remain clean and could decrease overtime as the soil seed bank is depleted. Additionally, areas could be maintained on a rotating basis, reducing actual annual maintenance outlays, but reducing treatment for each section from annually to biennially. Public Parking Facility: The cost of design and construction of a shell or gravel parking lot to accommodate approximately 5 cars would be approximately $25,000. Additional costs would include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, permitting and any required land clearing. Public Access Trails: There were no maintained access trails observed. An aerial photo from 1940 (Source: Property Appraiser website) (Exhibit E) shows Sanitation Road and one or two other trails existed, but today, no other trails are obvious. Public access trails would need to be designed with an access point in mind and traverse upland portions of the property, or be seasonal. Clearing for trails would cost approximately $775/mile. A 1.6 mile trail as shown in Figure 2 would cost approximately $1,240 to install and about half that to maintain, or $390/mile at $625 for each maintenance event. Security and General Maintenance: A portion of the property is currently fenced, but the exact amount and areas of fencing are currently unknown. Fencing along residential areas might be advisable to prevent dumping, which was observed in these areas. Signs advising of a conservation area can be placed at intervals along boundaries (except within the slough) as necessary. Public use of Sanitation Road could become a security issue for Immokalee Water and Sewer as the road leads to sensitive areas. Currently, Immokalee Water and Sewer has an access easement over Sanitation Road, and maintains the road. It might be best not to bring the public Page 22 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 in that way, and allow the easement and maintenance to continue as it currently is, and use that road for land management purposes only. Table 2. Summary of Estimated Management Needs and Costs Management Element Initial Cost Annual Comments Recurring Costs These are high estimates, initial treatment will be the most expensive then follow-up maintenance on an annual basis will be needed. Exotics Control $240,000 $80,000 Additionally, actual costs could be much lower depending on whether slough areas are impacted or not, and if maintenance rotation is planned. Use of prescribed fire could reduce costs. Parking Facility $50,000 t.b.d Access Trails/Non ADA $5,000 $625 Based on a 1.6 mile trail. $15/LF for field fencing — from estimate provided to Conservation Collier for field fencing at Nancy Payton Preserve in Fencing/gates $88,400 $200 2017. Gates are approx. $800 each. This estimate anticipates fencing 1.12 miles with 4 gates, representing the portion along public roads. $800/LF Boardwalk t.b.d t.b.d Request owner to remove trash before Trash Removal t.b.d. t.b.d conveyance. Pack -in, Pack -out afterward. No trespassing signs must be no farther than 500 feet apart. Placing signs 500 Signs $4,000 t.b.d. feet apart along boundaries would take 53 signs, or $2,000. An entry sign costs approx. $2,000. Total $387,400 $68,525 t.b.d. To be determined; cost estimates have not been finalized.

Potential for Matching Funds The primary partnering agencies for conservation acquisitions, and those identified in the ordinance are the Florida Communities Trust (FCT), and The Florida Forever Program. The following highlights potential for partnering funds, as communicated by agency staff: Florida Communities Trust (FCT) - Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program: The FCT Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire conservation lands, urban open spaces, parks and greenways. Application for this program is typically made for pre -acquired sites up to two years from the time of acquisition. The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program assists the Department of Environmental Protection in helping communities meet the challenges of growth, supporting viable community development and protecting natural resources and open space. The program receives 21 percent Florida Forever appropriation. Florida Forever Program: Staff has been previously advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on parcels already included on its ranked priority list. This parcel is not inside a Florida Forever priority project boundary. Additionally, the Conservation Collier Program has not been successful in partnering with the Florida Forever Program due to conflicting acquisition policies and issues regarding joint title between the programs.

Summary of Secondary Screening Criteria Staff has scored property on the Secondary Criteria Screening Form and attached the scoring form as Exhibit H. A total score of 272 out of a possible 400 was achieved. The chart and graph below show a breakdown of the specific components of the score. Table 3.

Both parcels are within the wellfield protection zones for the Immokalee Water and Sewer wells and contribute to surficial aquifer recharge. The parcels contain and provide buffering for an identified flow way, the Immokalee slough, which connects with Lake Trafford. Wetlands exist onsite, including wet forested areas and freshwater marshes. Listed plant species were found onsite and the habitat would support listed, non -listed and wetland dependent species. Finally, the parcel appears to be able to be restored to high ecological function with minimal alteration beyond removal of invasive exotic plant species. Human Values/Aesthetics: 71 out of 100 possible points The parcel received a moderately high score as in has at least 3 access points from paved public roads and one access by a private lime rock road. Public uses of the parcel could include all land - based natural resource -based recreational and educational opportunities. Approximately one quarter of the parcel scan be seen directly from a public road. Additional points were achieved because the site contains outstanding aesthetic characteristics (the mature cypress in the slough). Vulnerability: 45 out of 100 possible points The upland portions of the parcels are vulnerable to development. Parcel a. is currently zoned Agricultural, with 1 unit per 5 acres, but parcel b. is currently zoned Estates, and could be developed at 1 unit per 2.25 acres. There is a ST Overlay for well field protection, but that is not a negative for residential development. Additionally, on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map (Exhibit D), parcel a. is shown as "Low Residential Subdistrict," and parcel b. is shown as "Neighborhood Center Subdistrict," indicting that uses could intensify in the future. Management: 58 out of 100 possible points A moderate score was achieved for management needs. According to Collier County Stormwater Management Planning, the Immokalee Slough vegetation needs to be thinned and culverts replaced as the flow in the slough needs to be improved. Staff did observe the culverts under the road are rusted. Stormwater Management staff advised that the culverts are on a list for replacement and has requested to be done in March 2022 during typical low water season. . Removal of exotic plant species is a significant need, and could be costly to achieve. For the most part, the properties are surrounded by managed and semi -managed urban and agricultural landscapes. This limits some exotics influence and elevates potential for invasion by others. There are some seed sources remaining in adjacent lands to the NW, where there is no removal requirement. Page 26 of 60 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00132960005 and 00133240009 Owner Name: Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP Date: August 2021 Parcel Size: While parcel size was not scored, the ordinance advises that based on comparative size, the larger of similar parcels is preferred. This parcel is similar to the SD Corp of Naples (115 acres) and Half Circle L Ranch (3,370 acres). Exhibit A.

The Program was active in acquisition between 2003 and 2011, under the terms of the referendum. Between 2011 and 2016, the Program was in management mode. In 2017, the Collier County Board reauthorized Conservation Collier to seek additional lands (2/14/17, Agenda Item 11B). On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-establishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. This Initial Criteria Screening Report (ICSR) has been prepared for the Conservation Collier Program in its 10th acquisition cycle to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. It provides objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. That is the sole purpose for this report and it is not meant for any other use. This report makes use of data layers from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory and University of Florida Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP4). CLIP4 is a collection of spatial data that identify statewide priorities for a broad range of natural resources in Florida. It was developed through a collaborative effort between the Florida Areas Natural Inventory (FNAI), the University of Florida GeoPlan Center and Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It is used in the Florida Forever Program to evaluate properties for acquisition. CLIP4 is organized into a set of core natural resource data layers which are representative of 5 resource categories: biodiversity, landscapes, surface water, groundwater and marine. The first 3 categories have also been combined into the Aggregated layer, which identifies 5 priority levels for natural resource conservation. Not all CLIP4 Layers were used in this report. Those used include: • Biodiversity • Surface Water Priorities • Landscape Integrity • Priority Natural Communities • Potential Habitat Richness (Vertebrates) • Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas • Aggregated Conservation Priorities Following the first section, which looks more closely at initial criteria, additional sections address potential for appropriate public use, assessment of management needs and costs, potential for matching funds, and a summary of the secondary screening criteria.

A value of the parcel was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. Each is based on the principal of substitution that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the rights in acquiring a particular real property than the cost of acquiring, without undue delay, an equally desirable one. Three properties were selected for comparison, each with similar site characteristics, utility availability, zoning classification and road access. No inspection was made of the property or comparables used in this report and the Real Estate Services Department staff relied upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, two appraisals are required. Assessed Value: * $711,900 estimated for 36 parcels *Assessed values have been estimated using the average of the values of the 36 parcels. The Assessed Value is based off of the current use of the property. Estimated Market Value: ** $1,262,000 The adjusted per acre range of value for the subject property is $3,200 to $5,000 per acre for sending lands in the North Belle Meade market area. ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE" IS SOLELY AN ESTIMATE OF VALUE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON BY ANY ENTITY. * Property Appraiser's Website ** Collier County Real Estate Services Department Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. This parcel is zoned Agricultural. It is within an established growth management and/or overlay — the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District. The implications for acquisition are potential removal of TDRs.

MEETS INITIAL SCREENING CRITERIA Yes Met 5 out of 6 1. Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: Ord. 2002-63, sec. 10 (1)(a) Yes i. Hardwood hammocks No ii. Xeric oak scrub No iii. Coastal strand No iv. Native beach No v. Xeric pine No vi. Riverine Oak No vii. High marsh (saline) No viii. Tidal freshwater marsh No ix. Other native habitats Yes Vegetative Communities: Staff used two methods to determine native plant communities present; review of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) electronic databases for Department of Transportation's Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms (FLUCCS) (1994/1995, Revised 2014) and field verification of same. FLUCCS: The electronic database identified: LANDCOVER ACRES 3100: Herbaceous (Dry Prairie) 32.78 3200: Shrub and Brushland 6.10 3300: Mixed Upland Nonforested 8.56 4110: Pine Flatwoods 22.47 6172: Mixed Shrubs 75.40 6200: Wetland Coniferous Forests 8.65 6210: Cypress 39.50 6250: Hydric Pine Flatwoods 36.53 6216: Cypress - Mixed Hardwoods 11.59 6410: Freshwater Marshes 14.15 Total acres 255.73 Page 10 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Owner Name: Hussev & Vejza The following native plant communities were observed: • 3210 Palmetto prairie • 3300 Mixed Upland Nonforested • 4110 Pine flatwoods • 4280 Cabbage Palm • 6240 Cypress/pine/cabbage palm Characterization of Plant Communities present: Folio #: 36 parcels Date: August 2021 The following was obtained from a site visit report done by Environmental Services staff. Site visit: May 23, 2017; Report dated July 13, 2017. The report was based off of information provided by Synecological Analysts environmental consultant. Palmetto prairie - This community is characterized by a very sparse S. Florida slash pine canopy. The shrub component includes Saw palmetto, with scattered Lyonia, Tarbush and Sumac. There are limited herbaceous components that included Bluestems, Wiregrass and Grape This community has few exotics. When exotics do occur, they are at the margins of this community and are essentially an edge effect. Pine Flatwoods - The tree canopy is strongly dominated by S. Florida slash pine. This canopy is intermittent, but there is a large component of mature pine. The understory is primarily Saw palmetto. These communities evolved with periodic fires. In the absence of fire, this community would evolve to hardwoods. Controlled burns are critical to maintaining this FLUCCS type in any preserve areas going forward. Cabbage palm - The dominance of this species has increased rapidly over time because of a combination of several environmental factors. The construction of large canals both north and south of HHH Ranch lowered the shallow water table that once supported both Cypress and hydric Slash pine/Cypress/Cabbage palm communities. The lower water table stressed the Slash pine and especially the Cypress trees. These areas are dominated by Cabbage palm in both the canopy and shrub strata. There is often Brazilian pepper found at the drip line of shrub strata Cabbage palm. In recent years, sprouts from smaller logged Cypress have become an increasing component in many of these areas, especially in the southern portions of HHH Ranch. If rainfall patters and amounts of recent years become the norm, the Cypress should increase in dominance in these areas. Cypress -Pine -Cabbage palm - This FLUCCS is the most extensive wetland community occurring on HHH Ranch. Herbaceous components include Swamp fern, Buttonbush, Wild coffee. Sawgrass is found at the margins or where the canopy is more open. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These data indicate that native plant communities exist on the parcels. Page 11 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Folio #: 36 parcels Owner Name: Hussev & Veza Date: Auzust 2021 2. Does land offer significant human social values, such as equitable geographic distribution, appropriate access for nature -based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? Ord. 2002-63, sec. 10 (1)(b) YES Statement for satisfaction of criteria: There is potential access in the future as there is currently no public right of way to access the properties. The County Manager's agency recently acquired the 960 acres to the west of the 252 acres. 3. Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(c) YES General Hydrologic Characteristics observed and description of adjacent upland /wetland buffers: The northern and western portions of the property consist more of the Hydric Pine Flatwoods, Cypress, and Mixed wetland areas. Wetland dependent plant species (OBL/ FACW) observed: Buttonbush (Cepholanthus occidentalis), Cypress (Taxodium distichum) Swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum), Red maple (Acer rubrum) Wetland dependent wildlife species observed: No wetland -dependent wildlife species were observed. Other Hydrologic indicators observed: Mature cypress trees are present on the properties; and cypress knees were observed. No surface water was observed at the time of the April 2021 site visit. However, standing water would be expected during the wet season. Soils: Soils data is from a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Collier County soils data comes from the United States Department of Agriculture and Natural Resource Conservation Service 1990 Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida. See Exhibit B. Soils Map. Aquifer recharge Potential: Aquifer recharge map data was developed by Fairbank, P. and S. Hohner in 1995 and published as Mapping recharge (infiltration and leakage) throughout the South Florida Water Management District, Technical publication 95-20 (DRE # 327), South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Florida. Page 12 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Folio #: 36 parcels Owner Name: Hussev & Veza Date: Auzust 2021 Lower Tamiami recharge Capacity:- 0"-<7" annually Surficial Aquifer Recharge Capacity: Surficial- 43' to <56" annually FEMA Flood map designation: The property is within AH Flood Zone. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: Wetland habitats exist on the property. Low recharge for Lower Tamiami Aquifer — 0 to < 7 inches annually; Moderate recharge for Surficial Aquifer — 43 to < 56 inches annually. 4. Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? Ord. 2002-63, sec.10 (1)(d) YES Listed Plant Species: The federal authority to protect land -based plant species is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and published in 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 23.

Listed Species Locations — RCW Observations and Florida Panther Telemetry Potential Listed Species: The observed habitat and location would support the presence of the following listed species: Bonneted bat, Gopher Tortoise, Indigo Snake, Big Cypress Fox Squirrel, Wading birds, American Alligator Non -listed species: Many bird species including the Bobwhite quail observed Statement for satisfaction of criteria: FWC Species Richness Maps show potential for 5-10 species to utilize the properties including federally endangered Florida panther, red -cockaded woodpecker, Florida bonneted bat, and state -threatened Florida gopher tortoise and Big Cypress fox squirrel. Panther telemetry (from 1986-2020) shows consistent utilization of the site by radio -collared individuals, most recently a breeding female with kittens. FWC Panther road mortality data along Interstate 75 indicates there is movement of Florida panther between the property and the Picayune Strand State Forest, with the most recent road mortalities between the site and the state forest occurring in March 2020. The property is included within known historic nesting/foraging habitat for endangered red -cockaded woodpeckers. There has been agricultural clearing including logging of cypress and pine within the property. Site inspection indicates recruitment of young pines is occurring within the logged area. S. Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(e) YES Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These parcels contribute to an important wildlife corridor connecting species from the Florida Panther Refuge, Golden Gate Rural Estates, Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve, as well as the Picayune Strand State Forest and Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve to the south through wildlife underpasses under 1-75. Currently there is habitat connectivity between this site and the Conservation Collier Nancy Payton Preserve as evidenced by the home range map of radio - collared panther utilizing both sites several months apart. This property provides an ecological link to the northern range expansion goals of the Red -Cockaded Woodpecker Recovery Plan. is the property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? NO Page 14 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Owner Name: Hussev & Veza Folio #: 36 parcels Date: August 2021 III. Potential for Appropriate Use and Recommended Site Improvements Potential Uses as Defined in Ordinance No. 2002-67, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-65, section 5.9: Hiking: There is significant potential for hiking on this property. Many trails already exist through forest and pasture lands. Nature Photography: There is significant potential for nature photography on this parcel. In addition to the abundant wildlife present, the large size of the property provides natural vistas including pinelands, marshes, cypress strands and meadows. Birdwatching: Numerous species of birds are documented on the ranch, showing potential for the ranch to be a bird watching destination. Kayaking/Canoeing: A kayak/canoe launch could be possible into the canal adjacent to the parcel, though there is a legal question about recreational use of the canal system. If there is an interest in this use staff can research in the future. Swimming: Areas for this type of recreation do not exist on the property. Hunting: Hunting would not be a recommended use for this property. Fishing: Fishing would be possible from the bank of the canal adjacent to the parcel, however, see above "kayaking/canoeing" for discussion about access to the canal. If there is an interest in this use staff can research in the future. Recommended Site Improvements: There is an existing trail through portions of the property, however, use of this parcel for recreation should follow recommendations made in after an RCW nesting and foraging study. Development of a parking area could be accomplished in an existing cleared area. Depending on the future use of the 960 acres to the west acquired by Collier County, there is potential for connections between the properties. Staff will coordinate with County Manager's office on potential connections as the agency develops the plans for the 960 acres. Page 15 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Owner Name: Hussev & Veza Folio #: 36 parcels Date: Auzust 2021 IV. Assessment of Management Needs and Costs Management of this property will address the costs of exotic vegetation removal and control, the construction of a trail system to allow the public to have access to selected portions of the property, and, potentially, management of native vegetation to maintain suitable habitat for red cockaded woodpeckers. The following assessment addresses both the initial and recurring costs of management. These are very preliminary estimates; Ordinance No. 2002-67, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-65, requires a formal land management plan be developed for each property acquired by Conservation Collier. Exotic, Invasive Plants Present: Exotic, invasive species noted here are taken from the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (FLEPPC) 2009 List of Invasive Plant Species (Category I and Category 11). FLEPPC is an independent incorporated advisory council created to support the management of invasive exotic plants in Florida's natural areas by providing a forum for exchanging scientific, educational and technical information. Its members come primarily from public educational institutions and governmental agencies. Annual lists of invasive plant species published by this organization are used widely in the state of Florida for regulatory purposes. The current FLEPPC list (2009) can be viewed on-line at http://www.fleppc.org/list/list.htm. Category I plants are those that are altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives. This definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological damage caused. Category II invasive exotics have increased in abundance or frequency but have not yet altered Florida plant communities to the extent shown by Category I species. These species may become Category I if ecological damage is demonstrated. Category I & II Common Name Scientific Name Category Brazilian pepper Schinus terebinthifolius I Caesar's weed Urena lobata I Cogon grass Imperata cylindrica I False buttonweed Spermacoce verticillata II Lantana Lantana strigocamara Melaleuca Melaleuca quinquinerva I Staff observations are that less than 25% of the vegetative cover on this parcel consists of exotic invasive plants. Page 16 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Folio #: 36 parcels Owner Name: Hussev & Vejza Date: August 2021 Exotic Vegetation Removal and Control Based on the acreage involved, total initial removal costs would likely range from $100,000 - $125,000 for the parcel. Costs for follow-up maintenance, done anywhere from quarterly to annually have been estimated at between $100 and $450 per acre, per year. These costs would likely decrease over time as the soil seed bank is depleted. Restoration & Prescribed Burning: Staff would suggest restoration of logged areas. Would monitor as regrowth already appears to be occurring. May need to remove some cabbage palms for fuel reduction. Prescribed burning will need to be done a regular basis as is customary for the habitat types on the property. Public Parking Facility: The property would require an area for visitor parking. The cost of design and construction of a shell or gravel parking lot to accommodate approximately 10 cars would be approximately $25,000. Additional costs would include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, design, permitting and any required land clearing. Public Access Trails: Existing trails exist on the property due the previous logging. If further trail cutting is needed to create a loop, this could be accomplished with a contractor. Security and General Maintenance: Existing field fence on boundary is in good condition. If fencing is needed, a type of fencing that would be used to identify boundaries, yet allow wildlife free movement across it. Field fencing, similar to that used by FL DOT along 1-75 can be used. Cost including installation for this type of fencing as approx. $6.00 per foot. Gates are approximately $800.00. Signs can be placed at boundaries along public roads. Potential for trespass and poaching by ATV will need to be considered. Page 17 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Owner Name: Hussev & Vejza Table 3.

Potential for Matching Funds The primary partnering agencies for conservation acquisitions, and those identified in the ordinance are the Florida Communities Trust (FCT), and The Florida Forever Program. The following highlights potential for partnering funds, as communicated by agency staff: Florida Communities Trust (FCT) - Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program: The FCT Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire conservation lands, urban open spaces, parks and greenways. Application for this program is typically made for pre -acquired sites up to two years from the time of acquisition. The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program assists the Department of Environmental Protection in helping communities meet the challenges of growth, supporting viable community development and protecting natural resources and open space. The program receives 21 percent Florida Forever appropriation. Florida Forever Program: Staff has been previously advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on parcels already included on its ranked priority list. This parcel is not inside a Florida Forever priority project boundary. Additionally, the Conservation Collier Program has not been successful in partnering with the Florida Forever Program due to conflicting acquisition policies and issues regarding joint title between the programs.

Staff did observe Red Cockaded Woodpecker on site and there are two historic on the HHH Ranch 960 acres adjacent owned by Collier County. These parcels are also adjacent to parcels that have had development rights severed. Human Values/Aesthetics: 57 out of 100 possible points This site provides vista views of native SWFL landscapes including pine flatwood, wet prairie, and cabbage palm forest. Mature pines hosting nesting and foraging habitat for Red cockaded woodpecker exist along the property edges. The plant community makeup of the parcels indicates that spring and fall native wildflowers would grow in abundance and enhance the aesthetic character of the property seasonally. See pictures in report. Vulnerability: 0 out of 100 possible points This property is in Rural Fringe Mixed Use Overlay (RFMUO) Sending overlay with a Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA). LDC section 2.03.08.A provide the description of Sending Lands: RFMU sending lands are those lands that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species. RFMU sending lands are the principal target for preservation and conservation. Density may be transferred from RFMU sending lands as provided in section 2.03.07 D.4.c. All NRPAs within the RFMU district are also RFMU sending lands. Page 20 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Folio #: 36 parcels Owner Name: Hussev & Veza Date: August 2021 LDC section 2.03.08.13 provide the description of NRPAs: The purpose and intent of the Natural Resource Protection Area Overlay District (NRPA) is to: protect endangered or potentially endangered species by directing incompatible land uses away from their habitats; to identify large, connected, intact, and relatively unfragmented habitats, which may be important for these listed species; and to support State and Federal agencies' efforts to protect endangered or potentially endangered species and their habitats. NRPAs may include major wetland systems and regional flow - ways. These lands generally should be the focus of any federal, state, County, or private acquisition efforts. Accordingly, allowable land uses, vegetation preservation standards, development standards, and listed species protection criteria within NRPAs set forth herein are more restrictive than would otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district and shall to be applicable in addition to any standards that apply tin the underlying zoning district. Management: 65 out of 100 possible points Parcel could contain seasonably dry trails maintained through mowing; parcel will require initial installation of fire lines with machinery to be maintained annually along with routine maintenance treatment with herbicides to remove exotics. Parcel Size: 252+/- acres While parcel size was not scored, the ordinance advises that based on comparative size, the larger of similar parcels is preferred. This parcel is similar to the Robert H Gore III preserve which is 170 acres.

Species Richness Map (Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Map) This CLIP version 4.0 data layer is unchanged from CLIP v3.0. FWC Potential Habitat Richness. Because SHCAs do not address species richness, FWC also developed the potential habitat richness layer to identify areas of overlapping vertebrate species habitat. FWC created a statewide potential habitat model for each species included in their analysis. In some cases, only a portion of the potential habitat was ultimately designated as SHCA for each species. The Potential Habitat Richness layer includes the entire potential habitat model for each species and provides a count of the number of species habitat models occurring at each location. The highest number of focal species co-occurring at any location in the model is 13.

Habitat Priority The FNAIHAB model was designed to identify areas important for species habitat based on both species rarity and species richness. FNAI mapped occurrence -based potential habitat for 281 species of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, including aquatic species. Mapped habitat was classified as High, Medium, or Low Suitability for each species. For most species, suitable habitat was mapped only in the vicinity of known occurrences, so that if the state acquires lands based on these priorities they will be assured of protecting a known population of the species. Species were weighted by Global and State rarity rank. This CLIP v4.0 version of FNAIHAB uses a different species weighting system from the version used in the Florida Forever Conservation Needs Assessment. The Florida Forever version considers percent of each species' habitat protected on conservation lands in weighting species (higher weight given to species with more habitat on private lands, than for species with more habitat on conservation lands, all else being equal).

Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas For CLIP 4.0, the species priorities were updated based on current Global and State Ranks. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission originally identified strategic habitat conservation areas (SHCA) in the Commission report, "Closing the Gaps in Florida's Wildlife Habitat Conservation System" (Cox et al. 1994). The goal of the SHCA is to identify the minimum amount of land needed in Florida to ensure long-term survival of key components to Florida's biological diversity. In 2009, the SHCA underwent a significant revision based on a new suite of species, updated datasets, new datasets that did not exist when the original analysis was conducted, and improved analytical techniques including spatially explicit population viability analyses. A population risk assessment was conducted for 62 focal vertebrate species, of which 34 were shown to have additional protection needs in Florida. The SHCA identify important remaining habitat conservation needs on private lands for these 34 terrestrial vertebrates. The SHCA are prioritized based on global and state natural heritage ranks. Value 1= Priority 1 (Highest): State Rank 1 and Global Rank 1-3 Value 2 = Priority 2: State Rank 1 and Global Rank 4-5 or State Rank 2 and Global Rank 2-3 Value 3 = Priority 3: State Rank 2 and Global Rank 4-5 or State Rank 3 and Global Rank 3 Value 4 = Priority 4: State Rank 3 and Global Rank 4 Value 5 = Priority 5: State Rank 3 and Global Rank 5 or State Rank 4 and Global Rank 4 HHH Ranch initial Criteria Screening Report - CLIP Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas Legend HHH Ranch parcels cuaa Strategic Ha4itat Conservation Area. >. o z � 3 4 � 5 CON nTIDN LLIER er Caxn4y 0 0.65 1.3 Miles Page 29 of 41 Initial Criteria Screening Report HHH Ranch Owner Name: Hussev & Vejza Exhibit H.

Surface Water Priorities CLIP4 Map Developed by FNAI in consultation with water resource experts from the water management districts, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Division of Water Resource Management, DEP Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA), and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission we determined that this measure concerns the protection of surface waters that currently remain in good condition, as opposed to those in need of restoration. Restoration efforts are covered under other Florida Forever goals and measures. The types of surface water resources that are included as significant surface waters are shellfish harvesting areas, seagrass beds, Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs), National Wild and Scenic Rivers, springs, estuaries included in the National Estuary Program, and water bodies important for imperiled fish (Hoehn 1998).

Landscape Integrity CLIP4 Map The landscape integrity layer is comprised of two related landscape indices assessing ecological integrity based on land use intensity and patch size of natural communities and semi -natural land uses. The land use intensity index characterizes the intensity of land use across the state based on five general categories of natural, semi -natural (such as rangelands and plantation silviculture), improved pasture, agricultural/low-intensity development, and high intensity development. The patch size index combines the land use data with major roads data (such as 4 land or wider roads and high traffic roads) to identify contiguous patches of natural and semi -natural land cover and ranks them based on area. The combination of the land use intensity and patch size indices was created by adding the two together and dividing by two to create a non -weighted average of the two indices. Values of 10 represent areas with the highest potential ecological integrity based on these landscape indices and 1 represents the lowest ecological integrity. Please note that this index is intended to primarily characterize terrestrial ecosystems and therefore values for large water bodies are not considered significant. CLIP version 4.0 of this data layer is updated based on latest land cover data - the Cooperative Land Cover version 3.1.

The Program was active in acquisition between 2003 and 2011, under the terms of the referendum. Between 2011 and 2016, the Program was in management mode. In 2017, the Collier County Board reauthorized Conservation Collier to seek additional lands (2/14/17, Agenda Item 116). On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-establishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. This Initial Criteria Screening Report (ICSR) has been prepared for the Conservation Collier Program in its 10th acquisition cycle to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. It provides objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. That is the sole purpose for this report and it is not meant for any other use. This report makes use of data layers from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory and University of Florida Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP4). CLIP4 is a collection of spatial data that identify statewide priorities for a broad range of natural resources in Florida. It was developed through a collaborative effort between the Florida Areas Natural Inventory (FNAI), the University of Florida GeoPlan Center and Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It is used in the Florida Forever Program to evaluate properties for acquisition. CLIP4 is organized into a set of core natural resource data layers which are representative of 5 resource categories: biodiversity, landscapes, surface water, groundwater and marine. The first 3 categories have also been combined into the Aggregated layer, which identifies 5 priority levels for natural resource conservation. Not all CLIP4 Layers were used in this report. Those used include: • Biodiversity • Surface Water Priorities • Landscape Integrity • Priority Natural Communities • Potential Habitat Richness (Vertebrates) • Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas • Aggregated Conservation Priorities Following the first section, which looks more closely at initial criteria, additional sections address potential for appropriate public use, assessment of management needs and costs, potential for matching funds, and a summary of the secondary screening criteria.

A value of the parcel was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. Each is based on the principal of substitution that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the rights in acquiring a particular real property than the cost of acquiring, without undue delay, an equally desirable one. Three properties were selected for comparison, each with similar site characteristics, utility availability, zoning classification and road access. No inspection was made of the property or comparables used in this report and the Real Estate Services Department staff relied upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, two appraisals are required. Estimated Assessed Value: * Property owner Folio Acreage Assessed Value Popp 00217520001 19.4 $970,000 Erjavec 00214880003 4.92 $246,000 Eschuk 00217160005 4.78 $239,000 Total 29.1 $1,455,000 * Property Appraiser's Website The Assessed Value is based off the current use of the property. The Estimated Assessed Value for these properties is from the recently updated 2021 values. These values have increased significantly over 2020 Property Appraiser values. The Estimated Market Value for Popp was obtained from the Collier County Real Estate Services Department in late May. Due to the significant increase in Assessed Value, staff will request updated Estimated Market Value for all three properties and report back at the next Advisory Committee meeting. Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. It is within an established growth management and/or overlay — the Rural Fringe Mixed Use Overlay (RFMUO). This parcel is zoned Agricultural, RFMUO - Receiving.

Statement for satisfying Initial Screening Criteria, Including Biological and Hydrological Characteristics The purpose of this section is to provide a closer look at how the property meets initial criteria. Conservation Collier Program staff conducted a site visit on 7/14 (Popp), 8/6 (Erjavec), and 8/20 (Eschuk). MEETS INITIAL SCREENING CRITERIA- 1. Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(a) Yes i. Hardwood hammocks No ii. Xeric oak scrub No iii. Coastal strand No iv. Native beach No v. Xeric pine No vi. Riverine Oak No vii. High marsh (saline) No viii. Tidal freshwater marsh No ix. Other native habitats Yes Vegetative Communities: Staff used two methods to determine native plant communities present: review of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) electronic databases for Department of Transportation's Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms (FLUCCS) (1994/1995) and field verification of same. FLUCCS: The electronic database identified: Mixed wetland hardwoods, cypress, hydric pine flatwoods, cabbage palms, mixed shrubs, low -density single-family units The following native plant communities were observed: Mixed cypress, cabbage palm, and pine forest, as well as disturbed areas Characterization of Plant Communities present: Ground Cover: Dense mats of air potato in many of the drier areas. Transitional areas were dominated by swamp ferns and sword ferns. In wetter areas the ground cover was sparse. Midstory: Primarily Brazilian pepper and cabbage palm, myrsine, strangler fig, and wild coffee. Canopy: Primarily bald cypress and cabbage palms with scattered live oak, Java plum, and some large slash pines. A stand of willow is located along the western edge of the Eschuk parcel. *Invasive species were not a major component of the plant communities on the Erjavec parcel Statement for satisfaction of criteria: The vegetation present is like that of the adjoining Rivers Road Preserve during its pre -restoration state. These parcels contain habitat that is transitioning between wetland and upland and thus consists of species representative of both. Page 9 of 54 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00217520001, 00214880003, and 00217160005 Owner Name: Popp, Eschuk, and Erjavec Date: 911312021 2. Does land offer significant human social values, such as equitable geographic distribution, appropriate access for nature -based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(b) Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These parcels may be accessed via Rivers Road or Krape Road. These properties offer land -based opportunities for natural resource -based recreation consistent with the goals of this program, including but not limited to, environmental education, hiking, and nature photography. 3. Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(c) General Hydrologic Characteristics observed and description of adjacent upland /wetland buffers: The mixture of wetland hardwoods on each parcel indicates that surface water is present for at least a portion of the year. There is a deeper willow pond present on the Eschuk parcel that may retain water year-round.

Mature cypress trees are found throughout all three parcels. Areas with sparse ground cover indicate the presence of standing water for a portion of the year. Staff have detected standing water in comparable habitat on Rivers Road Preserve. Soils: The property is dominated by Riviera fine sand, limestone substratum. This nearly level, poorly drained soil is in sloughs and broad, poorly defined drainageways. The permeability of this soil is moderate to moderately rapid. The available water capacity is low. Under natural conditions, the seasonal high water table is within a depth of 12 inches for 3 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 12 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during Page 10 of 54 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00217520001, 00214880003, and 00217160005 Owner Name: Popp, Eschuk, and Erjavec Date: 911312021 extended dry periods. During periods of high rainfall, the soil is covered by shallow, slowly moving water for about 7 days. The natural vegetation consists of scattered areas of South Florida slash pine, cypress, cabbage palm, wax myrtle, sand cordgrass, gulf muhly, blue maidencane, South Florida bluestem, and chalky bluestem. This soil is poorly suited to cultivated crops because of the wetness and droughtiness. This soil has severe limitations for most urban uses because of the high water table. It has severe limitations for septic tank absorption fields because of wetness and poor filtration. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Aquifer recharge Potential: Aquifer recharge map data was developed by Fairbank, P. and S. Hohner in 1995 and published as Mapping recharge (infiltration and leakage) throughout the South Florida Water Management District, Technical publication 95-20 (DRE # 327), South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Florida. Lower Tamiami recharge Capacity: 21-102 inches Surficial Aquifer Recharge Capacity: 56 to 67 inches Wellfield Protection: No FEMA Flood map designation: The property is currently within Flood Zone AH, which indicates that the area is subject to inundation by 1-percent-annual-chance shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These parcels help protect wetland dependent vegetation, wildlife, and the underlying aquifer. The parcels lie in a flood zone and likely hold water that would be displaced if they were to be developed. 4. Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? Ord. 2002-63, Sec.10 (1)(d) Listed Plant Species: The federal authority to protect land -based plant species is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and published in 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 23. Lists of protected plants can be viewed on-line at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/.

There is a driveway and mowed parking area on the Erjavec parcel. IV. Assessment of Management Needs and Costs Management of this property will address the costs of exotic vegetation removal and control. The following assessment addresses both the initial and recurring costs of management. These are very preliminary estimates; Ordinance No. 2002-67, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-65, requires a formal land management plan be developed for each property acquired by Conservation Collier. Exotic, Invasive Plants Present: Exotic, invasive species noted here are taken from the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (FLEPPC) 2016 List of Invasive Plant Species (Category I and Category II). FLEPPC is an independent incorporated advisory council created to support the management of invasive exotic plants in Florida's natural areas by providing a forum for exchanging scientific, educational and technical information. Its members come primarily from public educational institutions and governmental agencies. Annual lists of invasive plant species published by this organization are used widely in the state of Florida for regulatory purposes. The current FLEPPC list (2019) can be viewed on-line at htto://buawoodcloud.ore/CDN/flennc/nlantlists/2019/2019 Plant List ABSOLUTE FINAL.ndf Category I plants are those which are altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives. This definition does not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological Page 14 of 54 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00217520001, 00214880003, and 00217160005 Owner Name: Popp, Eschuk, and Erjavec Date: 911312021 damage caused. Category II invasive exotics have increased in abundance or frequency but have not yet altered Florida plant communities to the extent shown by Category I species. These species may become Category I if ecological damage is demonstrated.

I chinese ladder brake fern Pteris vittata 11 elephant ear Xanthosoma sagittofolim II citrus Citrus sp. monk orchid Oeceoclades maculata queen palm Syagrus romanzoffiana royal poinciana Delonix regia Exotic Vegetation Removal and Control The cost for initial exotic treatment and follow-up maintenance treatments was estimated based on the cost of recent similar projects completed by companies under contract with Collier County and used frequently by Conservation Collier. -Based on this estimate, costs for the level of infestation observed to treat exotics would be $15,000. Costs for follow-up maintenance, done annually have been estimated at $200 per acre, per year for a total of $6000 for 30 acres. These costs could decrease over time as the soil seed bank is depleted. Public Parking Facility: Additional parking is not required. Public Access Trails: These parcels can accommodate approximately 1500ft trail which is estimated to cost $1500. Security and General Maintenance: Debris removal is estimated to cost between $5000-8000. There are two gated driveways on the Erjavec parcel. These gates may need some renovations to prevent unwanted access. This is estimated to cost $500-1000.

To be determined; cost estimates have not been finalized. V. Potential for Matching Funds The primary partnering agencies for conservation acquisitions, and those identified in the ordinance are the Florida Communities Trust (FCT), and The Florida Forever Program. The following highlights potential for partnering funds, as communicated by agency staff: Florida Communities Trust - Parks and Ooen Space Florida Forever Brant oroeram: The FCT Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire conservation lands, urban open spaces, parks and greenways. Application for this program is typically made for pre -acquired sites up to two years from the time of acquisition. The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program assists the Department of Environmental Protection in helping communities meet the challenges of growth, supporting viable community development and protecting natural resources and open space. The program receives 21 percent Florida Forever appropriation. Florida Forever Program: Staff has been advised that the Florida Forever Program has limited funds and is concentrating on parcels already included on its ranked priority list. This parcel is not inside a Florida Forever priority project boundary. Additionally, the Conservation Collier Program has not been successful in partnering with the Florida Forever Program due to conflicting acquisition policies and issues regarding joint title between the programs.

Summary of Secondary Screening Criteria Staff has scored property on the Secondary Criteria Screening Form and attached the scoring form as Exhibit H. A total score of 250 out of a possible 400 was achieved. The chart and graph below show a breakdown of the specific components of the score. Tabulation of Secondary Screening Criteria Total Score: 250 out of 400 possible points Ecological: 79 out of 100 possible points These parcels expand the Rivers Road Preserve which protects a wildlife corridor that connects the Golden Gate Estates to the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed. This corridor is utilized by a variety of animals including umbrella species such Florida panther and black bear. The parcels lie in a transitional zone between upland and wetland and provide habitat for a mixture of plant and animal species dependent on both. Human Values/Aesthetics: 62 out of 100 points The mature canopy, high density of epiphytes, and sparse understory will make for a shady, aesthetically appealing hiking experience for visitors. Vulnerability: 45 out of 100 possible points This area is rapidly developing, as the urban area expands eastward. These are highly desirable parcels as they are some of the last large plots near town. Although many species of plants and wildlife can thrive in low -density residential environments, undeveloped patches of habitat serve as crucial refugia. Management: 65 out of 100 possible points After initial debris and invasive plant removal these parcels should require minimal maintenance. The habitats on parcels do not require prescribed fire or hydrologic alterations. Annual maintenance will be the same as the adjoining preserve and include invasive treatments and trail mowing.

Surface Water Priorities CLIP4 Map Developed by FNAI in consultation with water resource experts from the water management districts, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Division of Water Resource Management, DEP Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA), and Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission we determined that this measure concerns the protection of surface waters that currently remain in good condition, as opposed to those in need of restoration. Restoration efforts are covered under other Florida Forever goals and measures. The types of surface water resources that are included as significant surface waters are shellfish harvesting areas, seagrass beds, Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs), National Wild and Scenic Rivers, springs, estuaries included in the National Estuary Program, and water bodies important for imperiled fish (Hoehn 1998).

Landscape Integrity CLIP4 Map The landscape integrity layer is comprised of two related landscape indices assessing ecological integrity based on land use intensity and patch size of natural communities and semi -natural land uses. The land use intensity index characterizes the intensity of land use across the state based on five general categories of natural, semi -natural (such as rangelands and plantation silviculture), improved pasture, agricultural/low-intensity development, and high intensity development. The patch size index combines the land use data with major roads data (such as 4 land or wider roads and high traffic roads) to identify contiguous patches of natural and semi -natural land cover and ranks them based on area. The combination of the land use intensity and patch size indices was created by adding the two together and dividing by two to create a non -weighted average of the two indices. Values of 10 represent areas with the highest potential ecological integrity based on these landscape indices and 1 represents the lowest ecological integrity. Please note that this index is intended to primarily characterize terrestrial ecosystems and therefore values for large water bodies are not considered significant. CLIP version 4.0 of this data layer is updated based on latest land cover data - the Cooperative Land Cover version 3.1.

Priority Natural Communities CLIP4 Map This data layer was created by FNAI specifically for the Florida Forever statewide environmental land acquisition program. It is intended to map natural communities that are under -represented on existing conservation lands. FNAI mapped the statewide range of 13 natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lake, upland pine, tropical hardwood hammock, upland hardwood forest, pine flatwoods, dry prairie, coastal uplands, and coastal wetlands. The CLIP 4.0 version of this data layer further prioritizes areas within each community type based on land use intensity and FNAI Potential Natural Areas priorities.

Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Map This CLIP version 4.0 data layer is unchanged from CLIP v3.0. FWC Potential Habitat Richness. Because SHCAs do not address species richness, FWC also developed the potential habitat richness layer to identify areas of overlapping vertebrate species habitat. FWC created a statewide potential habitat model for each species included in their analysis. In some cases, only a portion of the potential habitat was ultimately designated as SHCA for each species. The Potential Habitat Richness layer includes the entire potential habitat model for each species and provides a count of the number of species habitat models occurring at each location. The highest number of focal species co-occurring at any location in the model is 13.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission originally identified strategic habitat conservation areas (SHCA) in the Commission report, "Closing the Gaps in Florida's Wildlife Habitat Conservation System" (Cox et al. 1994). The goal of the SHCA is to identify the minimum amount of land needed in Florida to ensure long-term survival of key components to Florida's biological diversity. In 2009, the SHCA underwent a significant revision based on a new suite of species, updated datasets, new datasets that did not exist when the original analysis was conducted, and improved analytical techniques including spatially explicit population viability analyses. A population risk assessment was conducted for 62 focal vertebrate species, of which 34 were shown to have additional protection needs in Florida. The SHCA identify important remaining habitat conservation needs on private lands for these 34 terrestrial vertebrates. The SHCA are prioritized based on global and state natural heritage ranks. Value 1= Priority 1 (Highest): State Rank 1 and Global Rank 1-3 Value 2 = Priority 2: State Rank 1 and Global Rank 4-5 or State Rank 2 and Global Rank 2-3 Value 3 = Priority 3: State Rank 2 and Global Rank 4-5 or State Rank 3 and Global Rank 3 Value 4 = Priority 4: State Rank 3 and Global Rank 4 Value 5 = Priority 5: State Rank 3 and Global Rank 5 or State Rank 4 and Global Rank 4 Popp, Eschuk, and Erjavec Parcels Initial Criteria Screening Report - CLIP4 Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas Rivers Road Preset Popp, Eschuk, and Parcels Tertiary Roads CLIP4 Strategic Habita Conservation Areas 1K 0 1 2 M 3 4 5 CON gTIpN LLIER C.'.o er Coroixcy 0 0.4 0.8 (Niles Page 30 of 54 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 00217520001, 00214880003, and 00217160005 Owner Name: Popp, Eschuk, and Erjavec Date: 911312021 Exhibit N.

Applicant Supplemental Information Applicant Name: Kar m Allman Representation of Interests: Please explain your relationship with and business interests relating to the following topics. Environmental and Conservation: I have a Master's degree in Conservation Biology. My professional career has focused on the natural environment and conservation. I have experience working with a variety of Federally and State listed plant and animal species in southwest Florida, including gopher tortoise, beautiful pawpaw (Asimina pulchella), and scrub jays. As a land manager, I strive to maintain native plant communities, including those unique or uncommon on the landscape (e.g., palmetto prairie, wet prairie). Agricultural and Business: As an environmental analyst with the South Florida Water Management District, I reviewed Water Use and Environmental Resource Permit applications. I assessed the potential wetland and wildlife impacts of those applications. The types of projects reviewed included agricultural, residential, and commercial developments. I often met with the permit applicants/property owners and their consultants to discuss proposed projects or modifications to existing developments or agricultural operations. Educational: I participate in local outreach events as a Board member of the Florida Native Plant Society. As a natural areas coordinator with Lee County Conservation 2020, 1 work to educate local Home Owner Associations and other neighbors about adjacent preserve lands. General Civic and Citizen: I volunteer for local nonprofit groups, including the Florida Native Plant Society, Bonita Springs Community Band, and the Audubon Society, Individual Member Expertise Knowledge or Interest: Please elaborate on any experience, knowledge or interest you have in the following subjects. Ecology: Ecology is central to my career. As an Environmental Analyst with the South Florida Water Management District, I utilized my knowledge of wetland ecology to assess appropriate mitigation for wetland impacts associated with permit applications. In my current position with Lee County, I utilize ecological concepts to plan restoration projects for preserve land impacted by internal and external influences. Conservation: I have a Master's Degree in Conservation Biology and I am a Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS). During my career as a biologist/ecologist with government and non-profit organizations, I have worked to contribute to the conservation of natural resources in southwest Florida and elsewhere. Real Estate or an Acquisition: ® I was introduced to the process of land acquisition as a resource manager at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in 1999. 1 assisted in researching ownership of a mangrove island that the State was interested in acquiring. I currently work with the Lee County Lands department in recommending properties for potential acquisition that are adjacent to or near existing County preserve land. Land Appraisal: I review such documents as Environmental Site Assessments associated with the appraisal and acquisition of land for Lee County conservation lands program. Land Management: As a Natural Areas Coordinator for Lee County, I help manage over 30,000 acres of preserve land. I am a certified burn manager and a certified pesticide applicator for natural areas. I am familiar with integrated pest management and utilize multiple methods to minimize impacts of invasive plants and animals on preserve lands. I have helped plan and implement habitat restoration projects for both wetlands and uplands. Eco-Tourism: I support eco-tourism whenever I can in my travel plans for vacations. I am familiar with many different forms of'passive recreation' which leave a smaller footprint on the environment, including hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching. I help to maintain boardwalks, at -grade hiking trails, and other facilities associated with passive recreation on Lee County preserve lands. I have assisted in providing guided walks to the public on preserves. Environmental Education: Throughout my career, I have participated in various environmental education efforts for both children and adults. I have presented both in person and virtually, using such tools as PowerPoint, posters, and hands- on activities.
