Agenda 09/14/2021 Item #16K12 (Stipulated Final Judgment for VBR Ext. Project #60168)09/14/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Stipulated Final Judgment in the amount of $117,500 plus
$29,939.96 in statutory attorney and experts’ fees and costs for the taking of Parcel 1120FEE
required for the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project No. 60168.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation for the taking of Parcel 1120FEE required for the
construction of the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project No. 60168.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 22, 2020, the Board authorized, via Resolution No. 2020-175, the
condemnation of Parcel 1120FEE for the construction of roadway, drainage and utility improvements
required for the expansion and extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road from Collier Boulevard to east of 16th
Street NE and Massey Street from Vanderbilt Beach Road to south of Mockingbird Drive. The fee simple
acquisition area consists of a strip taking along the rear, northerly boundary of the property and is
approximately 0.42 acres in extent. The parent tract is improved with one single-family home and
associated site improvements owned by Enrique Miranda and contains 2.5 acres of gross land area, which
will be reduced to 2.08 acres after the acquisition. An aerial photograph of the subject property is
attached. The County’s appraiser estimated full compensation at $56,400 including severance damages,
which was adjusted to $76,400 by the Transportation Engineering Division’s Review Appraiser to account
for additional severance damages and increases in property values since the date of the appraisal. The
property owner’s initial demand was $165,500 plus attorney’s fees and expert fees and costs. The parties
participated in informal negotiations and reached an agreement. The attached Stipulated Final Judgment
reflects a negotiated compensation amount of $117,500 plus $23,199 in statutory attorney’s fees,
$6,499.46 in expert fees and costs, and $241.50 in supplemental attorney’s fees for a total of $147,439.96.
The Transportation Engineering Division recommends approval of this Stipulated Final Judgment since a
better result is not anticipated at trial. Upon approval, the County Attorney’s Office will file the Joint
Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment with the Circuit Court.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County is entitled to a credit of $56,400 for its deposit of the good faith
estimate of value. Funds for the balance of $91,209.96 which includes the Clerk’s $170.00 deposit fee,
are available in the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project Capital Fund, Project 60168. The primary
funding source for the acquisition is impact fees. Should impact fees not be sufficient within the project,
the secondary funding source will be gas taxes.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board approval. - CMG
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached Joint Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment and
authorize the payment of funds as stated herein.
