Agenda 09/14/2021 Item #16K15 (Stipulated Final Judgment for VBR Ext. Project #60168)09/14/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Stipulated Final Judgment in the amount of $113,000 plus
$21,942.07 in statutory attorney and experts’ fees and costs for the taking of Parcel 1115FEE
required for the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project No. 60168.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation for the taking of Parcel 1115FEE 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 1115FEE 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, southerly boundary of the property and is
approximately 0.45 acres in extent. The parent tract is improved property with one single-family home
and associated site improvements owned by Gary and Kim Brinen and contains 2.73 acres of gross land
area, which will be reduced to 2.28 acres after the acquisition. An aerial photograph of the subject
property is attached. The County’s appraiser estimated full compensation at $76,300 including severance
damages, which was adjusted to $79,400 by the Transportation Engineering Division’s Review Appraiser
to account for increases in property prices since the date of the appraisal. The property owner’s initial
demand was $216,800 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 $113,000 plus $14,025 in statutory attorney’s fees and $7,917.07 in expert fees
and costs, for a total of $134,942.07.
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 $76,300 for its deposit of the good faith
estimate of value. Funds for the balance of $58,812.07, 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.
