Agenda 01/11/2022 Item #16C 1 (Sale & Purchase Agreement under the Conservation Collier Land acquisition Program - Dessing)01/11/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase with Carol A. Dessing, for 1.14
acres under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program at a cost not to exceed $19,500.
(Conservation Collier Trust Fund 172)
OBJECTIVE: To purchase a 1.14-acre parcel within the Winchester Head Multi-Parcel Project from
Carol A. Dessing (Seller).
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 10, 2018, Agenda Item #11D, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) approved the Conservation Collier Cycle 9 - Active Acquisition List, (AAL). A multi-parcel
project included on the Cycle 9 - AAL and ranked in the “A” category was a portion of Unit 65 in Golden
Gate Estates (Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project). Staff has actively pursued acquiring parcels within
Unit 65.
History of Conservation Collier Acquisition Cycles within Winchester Head multi-parcel project
Approval by the Board to pursue properties within Winchester Head has changed over the years
depending on the property costs and availability of funds. On January 25, 2005, Agenda Item #10D, the
Board approved a Collier County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) recommended
Cycle 2 - AAL with changes, which included the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project, and directed staff
to actively pursue acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. On September
13, 2005, Agenda Item #16A34, the Board accepted CCLAAC’s recommendation to, due to rising
property costs, discontinue buying properties for the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project for ninety (90)
days. The Board later approved placing the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project on the “B” list of the
Cycle 3 and Cycle 4 - AALs on February 14, 2006, Agenda Item #10A, and January 23, 2007, Agenda
Item #10A, respectively. On May 22, 2007, Agenda Item #10F, the Board again approved activating the
Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project, with conditions, and it was placed on the “A” list on the current
AAL. Since then, the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project has remained on the “A” list on all
subsequent Board-approved AALs and the Program has continued to pursue the acquisition of properties
within the project.
Current Status of Acquisitions in Winchester Head and Proposed Acquisition
The Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project currently consists of one-hundred and fifteen (115) parcels and
a total of 158.67 acres. To date, Conservation Collier has acquired sixty-seven (67) parcels for a total of
93.56 acres, and the Collier Soil and Water Conservation District has acquired two (2) parce ls totaling
2.28 acres. One important reason for the selection of Winchester Head as a conservation target is that this
area functions to provide floodplain storage for surrounding home sites during high rainy season. These
types of depressional storage areas were included in the water management models for the Golden Gate
canal system done by the Big Cypress Basin, South Florida Water Management District, and are a
component of flood control for the area. Winchester Head has also been targeted for future w atershed
improvement projects in the County’s Watershed Management Plan. Additional program criteria that
would be satisfied by this acquisition include protection of surface and groundwater resources, protection
of wetland-dependent species habitat, and good potential for restoration.
Per the CCLAACs recommendation, an updated appraisal was obtained for the Winchester Head Project
parcels in June 2021. The appraisal was presented to CCLAAC at their July 12, 2021, meeting, at which
time they advised staff to move forward in sending offer letters to property owners within the Project. A
state-certified appraiser values this 1.14-acre parcel at $18,810 based on analyses on comparable sales
from wetland, not upland parcels, preferably within the Project boundaries. The appraisal dated June 2021
provided an averaged appraised value for parcels within the Project at $16,500 an acre.

with and supports Policy 1.3.1(e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier
County Growth Management Plan.

Purpose of Project: Environmental Conservation – Conservation Collier Program
Program Qualifications:
The Dessing parcel is within the Winchester Head multi-parcel project. Winchester Head
is an undeveloped depressional cypress head and marsh wetland located in NGGE in Units
62 and 65. Using aerial photographs, elevation data, soil maps and public input, a total of
115 parcels (158.67 acres) were identified as being important for acquisition. Selected
parcels include wetlands and small areas of upland buffers on parcels which are more than
half wetland. The entire project site is within North Golden Gate Estates, identified within
the Conservation Collier Ordinance (Ord. No. 2002-63, as amended) as a Target Protection
Area.
One important reason for the selection of Winchester Head as a conservation target is that
this area functions to provide floodplain storage for surrounding home sites during high
rainy season. These types of depressional storage areas were included in the water
management models for the Golden Gate canal system done by the Big Cypress Basin,
South Florida Water Management District and are a component of flood control for the
area. Winchester Head has also been targeted for future watershed improvement projects
(North Golden Gate Flowway Restoration Project) in the County’s Watershed
Management Plan. At this time, Conservation Collier owns 94 acres out of a total of 158.67
acres, or 59% of the project area.
Additional program criteria that would be satisfied by this acquisition include protection
of surface and ground water resources, protection of wetland dependent species habitat,
and good potential for restoration. This parcel is primarily cypress forest with a sparse
canopy of large trees, an understory of swamp fern, royal fern, and saw grass, with a low
midstory of coastal plain willow, dahoon holly, and button bush. There is a low infestation
of Brazilian pepper and old-world climbing fern. A paved public road (39th Ave NE)
provides access to the parcel and allows the property to be readily viewed.
Projected Management Activities:
Active management of the entire project area is not feasible until a significant contiguous
area can be acquired. While Winchester Head as a whole is relatively free of exotic plants,
ongoing control is done annually or as needed. Exotic maintenance should be minimal and
will be included in the management budget for the overall Winchester Head project. Most
of the project area for Winchester Head is wetlands, and trails are not feasible. A raised
boardwalk would be the best public access opportunity; however, this will not be
considered until sometime well into the future of the project when more parcels are
acquired. Nature photography and bird watching from roadways are two activities that can
occur at present. Currently, the three roads (37th, 39th, and 41st Streets NE) provide paved
access to the project area but the only parking is the road right-of-way. At present, a visitor
parking area is not available but could be constructed in the future. An educational kiosk
can be placed along one of the roads through the project containing information on
wetlands and on the preservation of the area. Signs can be placed at boundaries along the
roadways.
