Agenda 05/24/2022 Item #16B 2 (CRA 30 day notice of intent for the sell/lease of 1.96 acre property in Immokalee)05/24/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board (CRA), direct staff to give at least 30 days public notice of its intent
to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer approximately 1.96 acres of CRA-owned property at the corner
of South 9th Street and W. Main Street in the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area, and
invite proposals from, and make all pertinent information available to, private redevelopers or any
persons interested in undertaking to redevelop or rehabilitate this parcel.
OBJECTIVE: To potentially dispose of a vacant lot in Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area
(ICRA) to further implement the redevelopment plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 23, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Collier
County Community Redevelopment Agency Board (CRA), approved the purchase of a vacant lot at the
corner of South 9th Street and Boston Avenue to create a public plaza as identified in the 2010 Public
Realm Plan. The Plan identified a 1st Steet Plaza and a 9th Street Plaza. The cost to purchase the lot was
$232,500 plus closing cost. Funds were provided from the Immokalee CRA reserves. The cost to remove
an existing tower and fence and maintain the property over the past 12 years is estimated at $73,640.
While the CRA did complete the 1st Street Plaza (Zocalo Park) in 2014, the 9th Street Plaza has not been
implemented due to funding limitations and other priorities. In 2015, the CRA reviewed a request from
Save-A-Lot to do a land swap for the Main Street frontage of the CRA property. However, that proposal
did not materialize. No formal request for proposals to sell the property have been issued.
In May 2021, Catholic Charities submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) and draft concept plan to purchase the
CRA property to complete the assembly of approximately 7 acres at the corner of Ninth and Main Street
in downtown Immokalee. The concept plan includes a mix of uses including an urgent care facility;
improved social services; community meeting room; administrative offices; retail space; and affordable
housing.
At the June 16, 2021, the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board (Advisory Board) meeting,
the LOI was presented along with the concept plan. Representatives from Catholic Charities provided an
overview of the project. Topics of concern included selling price and commitment that the development
would occur. After discussion, the Advisory Board voted unanimously (8-0) to direct staff to continue
the conversation with Catholic Charities.
On October 15, 2021, Catholic Charities provided a follow-up letter and an appraisal of the property. At
the October 20,2021 Advisory Board meeting, Catholic Charities provided an overview of the proposed
project and shared the appraised amount of $420,000. After discussion, Catholic Charities volunteered to
update the conceptual plan based on comments received. The Advisory Board requested a community
meeting be held to get more input on the proposal. The Advisory Board voted unanimously (8-0) to table
the discussion for a future meeting.
On January 26, 2022, a community meeting was held to discuss the future use of the CRA property.
Catholic Charities presented the updated concept plan which includes a health clinic; community center
which will include soup kitchen, thrift store, office space, community meeting rooms, and classroom
space; retail space for startup businesses; and an affordable market rate housing component. They noted
the changes in the site plan to accommodate the comments for community members and clarified that all
services will be available to the entire community. Total Project cost is estimated at $25 million. Phase 1
is estimated at $11.6 million. Catholic Charities noted they are already receivi ng donations for this
16.B.2
Packet Pg. 911
05/24/2022
project, and they have the ability to raise the additional capital needed once they have secured the land.
Catholic Charities also noted they would agree to a reverter clause if the Phase 1 development wasn’t
completed within an agreed upon time frame and would update their appraisal.
Based on input received from the public meeting and the Advisory Board, Catholic Charities provided an
updated LOI on March 22, 2022. The LOI was reviewed by the Advisory Board on March 23, 2022.
Concerns were raised regarding the CRA’s right of first refusal to purchase the property back at market
value. A motion was made to recommend acceptance of the LOI. The motion passed 6 to 3. After
discussion, Catholic Charities clarified that if the development did not occur within five-years the CRA
would have the first right of refusal to purchase back the property from Catholic Charities at the original
purchase price as would be determined in the Purchase Agreement. A revised letter was provided with
the updated language dated March 23, 2022. The Advisory Board voted unanimously (8-0) to recommend
acceptance of the Letter of Intent.
Before the Board can consider the Letter of Intent, Florida Statutes Section 163.380(3)(a) requires the
following process:
Prior to disposition of any real property or interest therein in a community redevelopment area, any
county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency shall give public notice of such disposition by
publication in a newspaper having a general circulation in the community, at least 30 days prior to the
execution of any contract to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer real property and, prior to the delivery of
any instrument of conveyance with respect thereto under the provisions of this section, invi te proposals
from, and make all pertinent information available to, private redevelopers or any persons interested in
undertaking to redevelop or rehabilitate a community redevelopment area or any part thereof. Such
notice shall identify the area or portion thereof and shall state that proposals must be made by those
interested within 30 days after the date of publication of the notice and that such further information as is
available may be obtained at such office as is designated in the notice. The county , municipality, or
community redevelopment agency shall consider all such redevelopment or rehabilitation proposals and
the financial and legal ability of the persons making such proposals to carry them out; and the county,
municipality, or community redevelopment agency may negotiate with any persons for proposals for the
purchase, lease, or other transfer of any real property acquired by it in the community redevelopment
area. The county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency may accept such proposal as it
deems to be in the public interest and in furtherance of the purposes of this part. Except in the case of a
governing body acting as the agency, as provided in s. 163.357, a notification of intention to accept such
proposal must be filed with the governing body not less than 30 days prior to any such acceptance.
Thereafter, the county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency may execute such contract in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (1) and deliver deeds, leases, and other instruments and
take all steps necessary to effectuate such contract.
As a result of this notice, the County may receive other proposals from Developers interested in this
parcel. Staff will bring all submitted proposals to the Board, along with the Letter of Intent, for the
Board’s consideration. The Advisory Board will have an opportunity to review and provide
recommendations to Board prior to the Board’s consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated cost to advertise is $1,200. Funds are available in Immokalee CRA Fund
186.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None at this time. The property may need to be rezoned based
on the successful proposal.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to

form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Community

9th Street and W. Main Street in the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area, and invite proposals

Carroll & Carroll 5
ESTATE APPRAISED
The estate appraised is the Fee Simple Absolute. For appraisal purposes Fee Simple
Absolute is synonymous with Fee Simple.
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, published 2015 by the Appraisal
Institute, defines Fee Simple Estate as:
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
We consider easements, but only to the extent that they are known to us. Appraisal of the
fee simple means that an improved property is vacant and available to be put to its highest
and best use.

Carroll & Carroll 6
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
In United States tax law, the definition of Fair Market Value is found in the United States
Supreme Court decision in the Cartwright case:
The fair market value is the price at which the property would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell
and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
United States v. Cartwright, 411 U. S. 546, 93 S. Ct. 1713, 1716-17, 36 L. Ed. 2d 528, 73-1 U.S.
Tax Case. (CCH) ¶ 12,926 (1973) (quoting from U.S. Treasury regulations relating to Federal
estate taxes, at 26 C.F.R. sec. 20.2031-1(b)).
ASSUMED EXPOSURE TIME
The reasonable exposure time is assumed to have already occurred as of the appraisal
effective date. The assumed reasonable exposure time was between 6 and 9 months.

AREA INFORMATION
COLLIER COUNTY ANALYSIS
An analysis of geography, transportation, population, employment, income, and education
for Collier County is performed using data provided by Site to Do Business, Florida Office
of Economic & Demographic, United States Department of Labor, all recognized source(s).
GEOGRAPHY
Collier County is the most southerly county on Florida's west coast offering mainland
coastal development. Collier County is west of Ft. Lauderdale and south of Tampa. With
2,025 square miles of land area, it is the largest county in Florida. About 63% of the land
area is in public ownership, is set aside for environmental preservation, or is scheduled for
public land acquisition.
The region enjoys a climate that is classified as subtropical. Summers are relatively mild,
and winters are usually frost free. A hard freeze is a rarity. The climate, especially in winter,
is one that attracts and is enjoyable to most people.
The geography of the area runs generally northwest and southeast as indicated by the trend
of the coastline. Beaches extend from the northern county line south to Cape Romano and
then, as the coastline trends further to the southeast, beaches give over to mangrove islands
and swamps. Moving northeastward from the beaches, elevations increase very slowly.
Most of the county is less than 15 feet above mean sea level. Although changes in elevation

are gradual, they are well defined by variations in vegetation. Much of the county is, or was
once, wetland. The once plentiful marine resources are largely depleted, but still provide
good sport fishing.
Population centers include the coastal communities of Naples, Marco Island and
Everglades/Chokoloskee. Immokalee, the single large interior community, is in north
Collier County and is the agricultural center of the region.
POPULATION
“The social forces studied by appraisers primarily relate to population characteristics. The
demographic composition of the population reveals the potential demand for real estate,
which makes the proper analysis and interpretation of demographic trends important in an
appraiser’s analysis.” The total population, it's composition by age and gender, and the rate
of household formation and dissolution strongly influence real property values. (The
Appraisal of Real Estate 14th Edition)
Collier County’s population has continued to increase year after year. The population has
increased 9.24% as of 2020 from 2016. The population forecasts through 2025 calls for a
continued steady growth cycle with an estimated 8.93% population growth from 2020 to
2025.

Collier County for years has been one of the nations’ fastest growing counties, historically
outperforming the state. Population increases began in 2010, trending once again towards
outperforming the state. Strong growth is expected at 5 to 10% annually through 2025.
Collier County is a popular retirement destination. As of 2020, 55.6% of the County’s
residents are over the age of 45. The 2025 forecasts depict an aging community with 56.2%
of the population 45 years of age or older.

business, financial and other services. Trade, transportation, & utilities along with
government jobs account for 27.9% of the County’s employees. Industries such as natural

Carroll & Carroll 11
The unemployment rate in Collier County exceeded the state average by a slight margin in
the years 2009 and 2010. The unemployment rate then declined through 2016 as the
economy improved and, until recently, Collier County’s unemployment rates decreased
more rapidly the state.
INCOME
Collier County’s per capita income and median household income levels are higher than
state statistics. The most substantial difference between Collier County and the state is the
large percentage difference in household incomes above $100,000 where Collier County
exceeds the state by over 9%. Collier County's percentage household incomes ranging from
$25,000 to $99,999 mirror that of the state but is significantly lower in the percentage of
household incomes under $25,000. Income levels vary greatly within different areas of
Collier County, and so, will be discussed in greater detail in the Market Area descriptions.
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation system reflects local geography, population densities and the primary
motivators of tourism, service industry employment, the construction industry, agriculture,
and leisure activities.
ROADS
The earliest roads were coastal, extending from north to south in the early twentieth century
with the first settlers. Principal among these is US-41, commonly referred to as the Tamiami
Trail because it was built to connect Tampa and Miami. Where it passes through the coastal
community US-41 is a four or six lane divided highway with landscaped medians, curb and
16.B.2.c

gutter, streetlights and often with concrete sidewalks. The Trail is the principal coastal
arterial and one that defines several important boundaries. Often there is a noticeable land
value difference east and west of US-41 because the affluent coastal population prefers to
shop and trade close to home. As the highway turns southeast from downtown Naples
toward Miami the Trail defines the boundary of the coastal management zone which affects
development densities and storm evacuation requirements. The eastern segment of US -41
is a designated national scenic highway popular with tourists, especially during the winter
season as they seek adventure in the Everglades.
A system of asphalt surfaced arterials, major collectors, minor collectors, and neighborhood
streets extend into the urban area east and west from US-41. North-south arterials and
major collectors are established about one mile apart. From west to east, these include
Goodlette-Frank Road, Airport-Pulling Road, Livingston Road, Santa Barbara Boulevard
and Collier Boulevard. The east-west grid is spaced about two miles apart; from north to
south being Immokalee Road (CR-864), Vanderbilt Beach Road (CR-862), Pine Ridge Road
(CR-896), Golden Gate Parkway (CR-886), Radio Road (CR-856), Davis Boulevard (SR-84),
and Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR-864). Within the urban area all of these are at least 4
lane divided highways.
East of Collier Boulevard the road system reflects the economies of scale of Golden Gate
Estates subdivision (the Estates) where 102 square miles of rural subdivision is supported
by a grid system of paved and unpaved 2 lane streets, with 2 and 4 lane asphalt surfaced
major collectors. Golden Gate Boulevard, a 4-lane divided road for five of its eleven miles
east of CR-951, is the principal east-west collector. Everglades Boulevard (2 lane and
asphalt surfaced) is the north-south major collector extending south from Immokalee Road
14 miles to the grade separation at I-75 where it continues into the Picayune Strand State
Forest. Most of the neighborhood streets in Golden Gate Estates are asphalt. Collier
County is planning to extend east-west collectors through the Estates along the alignment of
Vanderbilt Beach Road and somewhere south of Golden Gate Boulevard. A north-south
connection is also planned from the eastern terminus of White Boulevard (Pine Ridge Road)
north to Golden Gate Boulevard.
Interstate highway 75 (I-75) was extended from north to south through Collier County in
the mid-1980s along a flood-proof route about five miles inland. Directly east of the City of
Naples I-75 joins the original alignment of State Road 84 (Alligator Alley) connecting with
Florida's east coast at Ft. Lauderdale. The coastal community I-75 interchanges are spaced
three to four miles apart at Immokalee Road (CR-864), Pine Ridge Road (CR-896), Golden
Gate Parkway (CR-886), and at Collier Boulevard/Davis Boulevard (CR-951/SR-84). Twenty-
one miles east of the coastal community is an interchange at State Road 29; the last
interchange in Collier County. Collier County and the FDOT continue to study the
feasibility of an interchange at Everglades Boulevard.

The advent of I-75 signaled a change in the relationship of Collier County to the rest of
Florida and the United States. While US-41 was the only north-south arterial, Collier
County was dominated by the conservative mid-western influences of seasonal residents
and somewhat isolated from the larger urban areas of Florida. After the late 1980s, road
access to Collier was made much more convenient to the northeast via connections with I -4
and I-95. This had the effect of broadening Collier's market exposure and it stimulated
growth. The extension of I-75 south into Dade County promoted better access for European
tourists and made Collier County transient lodging attractive for east coast weekenders.
Strategic connections exist where Collier Boulevard and CR-92 extend south and west from
US-41 providing access to the City of Marco Island from the greater Naples area and from
Florida's east coast, respectively. State Road 29 connects the southwest Florida agricultural
center of Immokalee with points north, with the Naples coastal community via CR-846,
with the Ft. Myers coastal community via SR-82, and with US-41 at Everglades City which
is the western gateway to Everglades National Park and the 10,000 Islands region of
Collier's southwest coast.
The road transportation system is well planned, well maintained, and operating at
acceptable capacity. Ambitious road construction projects undertaken in anticipation of
growth projections and funded by impact fees have caught up with development. The road
system reflects Collier's position at the southerly limit of development on Florida's west
coast.
MASS TRANSIT
Collier Area Transit (CAT), operated by Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes
Department, provides inexpensive alternative transportation throughout the county linking
major employment centers of Naples with Marco Island and Immokalee. There are several
circulation routes with stops at the County government complex, hospitals, and major
shopping establishments. The system accommodates bicycle transport and personal items.
The same County department administers the Collier Area Para Transit system which
provides subsidized transportation services for the disabled and economically
disadvantaged.
This is a successful and growing system that connects people with jobs, essential services,
and shopping while reducing transportation costs and road congestion.
AIRPORTS
Collier County is supported by a system of five public airports. Southwest Florida
International Airport (RSW) is located in Lee County 25 miles north of Naples; a 45-minute
drive via I-75 from the Collier center of population. This facility serves the five county
southwest Florida regions offering domestic and international air carrier service. It is
modern, convenient, and has planned expansion to keep up with regional growth.

Naples Municipal Airport (APF) owned by the City of Naples and operated by the
independently constituted Naples Airport Authority which derives its revenue principally
from fuel sales. This small airport (about 1 sq. mi.) is located one mile east of downtown
Naples. It serves the coastal community and is especially convenient to affluent residents
who own private aircraft, to the corporate convention business of the large beachfront
hotels, and to essential services like mosquito control, Emergency Medical Services (EMS),
the Sheriff's office, and private air ambulance services. The two paved runways (5/23 @
5,290' and 14/32 @ 5,000') will support jets including the G4 and Challenger series. Naples
airport is tower controlled and fully certified for commercial operations and is home to
several aircraft charter services and flight training schools. In 2005, Naples Municipal
Airport accommodated 163,434 aircraft operations, a record high. Annual operations
decreased by nearly 50% from 2005 to 2011. The total operations for 2020 were 104,479,
which is a 5.2% increase from the previous year. Due to its downtown location, Naples
airport has restricted operations of the noisiest jet aircraft and is at the leading edge of noise
abatement measures.
The Collier County Airport Authority owns and operates airports at Marco Island, in
Everglades City, and at Immokalee. These are primarily funded through fuel sales and
hangar leases. Marco Island Airport (MKY) is a very small (64.47 acres) general aviation
facility on the mainland four miles northeast of Marco Island. The single paved runway
(17/35 @ 5,000') will support light jet traffic. Hanger and ramp space is very limited. Fuel is
available. This airport is convenient to Marco Island residents and to the corporate
convention business of the Island hotels. Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) is one mile
east of Immokalee and 35 miles by road northeast of Naples. This 2 square mile airport has
two paved 5,000-foot runways (18/36 and 09/27) a third diagonal runway is now used as a
weekend drag racing strip. The airport is in a Florida Rural Enterprise Zone and a HUB
Empowerment Zone. A 60-acre zone in and around the airport is a designated Foreign
Trade Zone. To date, the economic potential of this airport is largely unrealized. However,
the field is active as a training destination for coastal-based flight schools, it hosts aerial
firefighting and crop-dusting operations, and it bases numerous private aircraft. The
Everglades Airpark (X01) is a light duty general aviation facility of 29.14 acres is within
walking distance of downtown Everglades City. The single paved strip (15/33 @ 2,400')
supports itinerant coastal traffic and half a dozen-based aircraft. Fuel, a comfortable pilot
center and bicycles are available.
The aviation community is well supported. The greater Naples area is the beneficiary the
winter season influx of corporate executives and affluent individuals who can afford luxury
private jet travel.

MARINE TRANSPORTATION
There is no deep-water port and no commercial marine activity other than that associated
with commercial fishing, charter sport fishing, and the marine towing services that support
the pleasure boat industry. The controlling depth to the municipal dock in Naples Bay is six
feet at mean low water. The US Coast Guard maintains a dredged and well-marked
intracoastal waterway from the head of Naples Bay to Coon Key southeast of Marco Island.
Local geography requires vessels northbound from Naples to transit 30 miles of the Gulf of
Mexico before returning to the sheltered intracoastal system at Sanibel Island. According to
the Marine Industries Association of Collier County, as of early 2019 there were 22,749
registered vessels in Collier County. Seasonally, excursions from Marco Island to Key West
and from Ft. Myers Beach to Key West are scheduled daily.
EDUCATION
The Collier County School District provides public education to about 51,905 students
encompassing grades K-12. There are a total of 48 public schools consisting of 29
elementary, 10 middle, 8 high schools and one K-12 (Everglades City School). There are
also 12 alternative school programs. In addition to the public school system there are
numerous private schools scattered throughout the county. The Collier County School
District continues to receive a “B” grade by the State of Florida Department of Education.
By definition, an “A” or “B” grade delineates high performance. Between 2015 and 2020 the
school district had an overall population growth of more than 6,000 students.
Collier County is also home to several colleges and accredited universities. Three colleges
have campuses in Collier County: Ave Maria University, Hodges University and Florida
Southwestern State College (formerly Edison Community College). Ave Maria University is

a private catholic university that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs
including a law school has around 1,129 students. Florida Southwestern State College with
campuses in Naples, Punta Gorda, and Ft. Myers, offers both two-year and four-year degree
programs for 15,389 students, and Hodges University is a private four-year college that
offers bachelors and master’s degrees in 20 disciplines for around 1,676 students. Nearby
Florida Gulf Coast University (located in southern Lee County) is one of the state's fastest
growing institutions and home to over 15,373 students.
CONCLUSION
At the southerly limit of urban development on Florida's west coast, Collier County offers
the climate, natural resources, and sporting opportunities to support a superb retirement
community. The quality of infrastructure, schools, and social services is what one would
expect of such an area. We are experiencing a surge in new development projected to take
us through the next several years. In the long term, the attractions of the climate and
location, and the stability of fixed-account affluence promise continuing prosperity
although probably without the strong emphasis on new development.

MARKET AREA
Market Area is defined as:
“The geographic region from which a majority of demand comes, and in which the
majority of competition is located.” (The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal 6th Edition)
“A combination of factors – e.g., physical features, the demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics of the residents or tenants, the condition of the improvements (age,
upkeep, ownership, and vacancy rates), and land use trends.” (The Appraisal of Real
Estate, Fourteenth Edition)
A market area includes those surrounding land uses which impact the value of a property
and it can encompass one or more neighborhoods or districts. An appraiser focuses on the
market area in analyzing subject property value influences.
BOUNDARIES
Subject property is located within the Immokalee area. For appraisal purposes, the market
area boundaries are shown below:
➢ North Collier/Hendry County Line
➢ South Oil Well Road
➢ East Collier/Hendry County Line

Introduction
The property being appraised lies within the boundaries of the Immokalee Planning
Community which is a 26 square mile area centered on the unincorporated community of
Immokalee. Immokalee is in north central Collier County approximately 25 miles east of
the Gulf of Mexico, six miles south of the Collier County-Hendry County line and 18 miles
north of I-75. The Immokalee area is home to Lake Trafford, which is the largest lake in
Collier County encompassing 1,500 acres.
At the county's formation in 1923, Immokalee was the only non-coastal settlement. Today it
remains the only interior community of considerable size. Immokalee was fairly isolated
from the coastal area until the Immokalee Road (CR-846) was rebuilt and resurfaced in
1955-56. With major improvements to the transportation system, Immokalee became a
thriving center of ranching, farming, and lumbering.
Immokalee is the agricultural center of an area that includes parts of Collier, Lee, Glades
and Hendry counties. The economy is dominated by the agricultural industry which
employs over a third of the working population in ranching, truck farms and citrus. This
industry has made Immokalee the leading domestic producer of winter vegetables for the
United States. Most of the land and agricultural business is vested in a few large corporate-
owned enterprises.
Environmental Influences
This area is desired because of mild winter weather and easy access to miles of beaches.
The subtropical weather allows for year-round recreational opportunities. Boating and
swimming are popular activities and boating is supported for seasonal residents and
tourists by local marinas and charter boats. Bicycling, walking, and jogging are supported
by an extensive network of connected biking and walking paths. Collier County has more
golf courses per capita than most areas in the United States.
Development has occurred in such a way that the open-space and lush landscaping give
the appearance of a well-manicured, tropical paradise.
Governmental Influences
This market area is governed by Collier County Board of County Commissioners which
serves as chief legislative body and five constitutional officers: sheriff, clerk of courts, tax
collector, supervisor of elections, and property appraiser. County government is managed
by a strong county manager structure. Collier County provides services which range from
average to high quality. However, Collier County is known for being a difficult county for
building and development. The tax burden in Collier County is lower than the national
average.

County government has zoning and comprehensive plan ordinances (Immokalee Area
Master Plan) designed to protect the character and values of property; to protect and
enhance economic development; and to maintain and enhance the attractive nature of the
area.
Public services include fire protection, solid waste disposal, potable water, sanitary sewer
service and storm water drainage. Public/private companies proved adequate services for
electricity, cable, and internet. Community support facilities such as schools, parks,
churches, shopping, and places of employment are all located within this market area.
Collier County Sheriff Department provides full range of services for Collier County.
According to the statistics listed by Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Collier
County crime index falls in the lowest 16% of all counties in Florida and crime rate has
decreased nine out of the past ten years. About 78% of all crime is either burglary or
larceny.
This market area is served by several major roadways including Immokalee Road (CR 846),
State Road 29, State Road 82, and Oil Well Road.
Immokalee Road (CR 846) is a 6-lane, divided, east-west arterial highway connecting the
north coastal community with north, interior Collier County and ultimately with the
regional agricultural center of Immokalee. East of the I-75 interchange, Immokalee Road has
been widened to six lanes as far as the Orangetree subdivision at Oil Well Road. The
remaining ±16 miles to Immokalee are a two-lane asphalt road that is heavily traveled and
dangerous due to morning and evening rushes mixing with heavy truck traffic. The
extension of four lanes on to Immokalee is not in the current 5-year plan. This is the
County's northernmost relevant east/west arterial. Development along Immokalee Road is
clustered almost exclusively west of Collier Boulevard at the major intersection of Collier
Boulevard, Interstate I-75, Airport Road and Tamiami Trail. Development consists of
single/multi-family residential, as well as office and retail uses.
State Road 82 is two/four land arterial road extending from US-41/Cleveland Avenue in
Downtown Fort Myers and extending east 29 miles until it ends at State Road 29. The road
serves the City of Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and the Immokalee area. Development varies
from intense commercial development in the Fort Myers area to farmlands/wetlands as it
approaches State Road 29.
Oil Well Road is a primarily 4-lane east-west asphalt paved road extending east from
Immokalee Road approximately 10 miles to the entrance of Ave Maria. Development along
this road begins with a mixture of single-family residential near Immokalee Road and
gradually changes to open farmland.

State Road 29 is the principal highway through Immokalee. This two lane, asphalt
surfaced, highway runs south from Immokalee to Everglades City in the Ten Thousand
Islands and north from Immokalee to La Belle in Hendry County. State Road 82 intersects
State Road 29 north of Immokalee providing access into the City of Fort Myers. The state
road system leading into Immokalee is in good condition.
The Immokalee urban area traffic network is focused on Main Street (State Road 29) as it
passes from east to west through the center of town and then turns north toward LaBelle.
Immokalee Road (CR-846) from Naples enters south Immokalee, turns east joining Main
Street, then continues into the agricultural areas of Hendry County about 8 miles east of
Immokalee. Asphalt surfaced, 2-lane local collectors consist of New Market Road/Westclox,
a northwest-southeast neighborhood collector through the heart of the agricultural market
area and into the northwest residential neighborhoods, Immokalee Drive, an east-west
neighborhood collector serving developing residential districts west of SR-29 and Lake
Trafford Road, a medium collector connecting the northwest Immokalee commercial district
on SR-29 with residential neighborhoods and the Lake Trafford recreational area three miles
west. Local streets, sometimes asphalt paved and sometimes not, are typically laid out on a
grid pattern. Connectivity is fairly good, but the community remains segmented by the road
system.
Public transportation is provided by a county transit bus service.
Social Influences
The Immokalee market area ranges from planned developments to mostly undeveloped
land. This area remains as one of the last areas in Collier County with large tracts that are
developable. Most are still being used for agricultural purposes, but Collier County has
designated much of this land as Rural Lands Stewardship area, promoting future growth.
The purpose of this program is to encourage smart growth patterns in rural areas of the
county per the Growth Management Plan. Collier County’s objective is to create an
incentive-based land use overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier County Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, based on the principles of rural land stewardship. The
Stewardship Send Area (SSA) is used to issue designated Sending Area Stewardship credits
to property owners which may be used to entitle Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) which
can be in the form of self-contained planned urban developments in the RLSA. This area
has grown considerably in the past 10 years with the growth of Ave Maria.
US Census Bureau, Esri forecasts, 2020 population is 34,886 with a projected growth to
37,492 (9.31% growth) by 2025, which will mainly be attributable to the growth and
development of Ave Maria. The population also nearly doubles during the winter months
in Immokalee due to agricultural seasonality. This increase occurs during the winter when
the harvest season for vegetables and citrus is at its peak.

Economic Influences
This area’s income levels are considerably lower than the County’s average. The average
household income in 2020 was $55,432 which is 48.9% less than the county average
$108,633. In the subject market area only 13.8% of the households have annual incomes
greater than $100,000, compared to the county figure of 35.1%. On the other hand, 46.3% of
households have average household incomes of less than $35,000. The economy of rural
Southwest Florida has been and continues to be based primarily on agriculture, which has
not kept pace with job growth and income levels throughout the state of Florida. Rural
Florida continues to have lower earned income, higher unemployment, lower property
values and fewer opportunities for employment.
The median home value is $204,790 which is less than the County’s median home value of
$369,596. Total number of housing units in the market area is 10,140, of which, 39.4% are
owner occupied, 45.2% renter occupied and 15.5% vacant. Vacancy includes seasonal
rentals.
Development trends:
Residential
Residential development density varies from less than one unit per 10 acres in agricultural
districts, to as high as eight units per acre in the high-density residential areas in
Immokalee. The Immokalee area of housing diversity ranging from large ranch style homes
to low-income housing. In the immediate Immokalee area, the density of residential
development is relatively high and there are many substandard structures. Other parts of
the market area include acreage homesites and the planned development of Ave Maria. The
Town of Ave Maria is an entire town including a University. Ave Maria is accessible from
both Oil Well Road and Camp Keais Road. The campus and town are 30 miles from Naples
and just 10 miles from Immokalee. Ave Maria totals about 5,000 acres, of which nearly 20%
has been designated as the University campus. When completed, the Town will contain
some 11,000 residential dwellings in a wide variety of price ranges and neighborhoods.
Residential units include rental apartments, condominiums, starter homes, and estate
homes.
Over the past 8+ years there has been a residential boom in Ave Maria ranking it as the
number one selling single-family community in the Naples-Ft Myers market. Ave Maria
has sold more than 3,000 new homes since the development first opened. As of March 2021,
Ave Maria had over 200 new home sales contracts since the first of the year which marked
the strongest year of sales since the development opened in 2007. Ave Maria currently has
four national home builders including, Del Webb, CC Homes, Pulte Homes, and Lennar.
There are a total of 75 floor plans between the builders with prices ranging from the low
$200s to over $500s.

The goal of the University is to become the major Catholic University in the south, with
some 5,000 graduate and undergraduate students. Also, within Ave Maria is the Arthrex
Commerce Park. Arthrex, Inc. is a world-renowned medical company. The first phase of the
park consists of a 197,000 square foot manufacturing facility on 57 acres, opened in the
summer of 2013. The Arthrex Commerce Park will eventually encompass 200 acres to
accommodate future growth.
Commercial
The majority of the commercial development in this area is located along Main Street/SR 29
and New Market Road. The newest development is located near the intersection of Lake
Trafford Road and SR 29. This is where the majority of the franchise restaurants and
national companies are located. Small commercial businesses support the majority of
neighborhood needs. Small retail shops are about 50% owner occupied family businesses.
Commercial businesses run the gamut from ethnic restaurants, grocery, hardware, clothing,
furniture, and auto parts. Most of the commercial buildings are over 40 years old and are
legally nonconforming with current development standards. Redevelopment would
require larger setbacks; hence, gentrification and routine maintenance has allowed
buildings to exist beyond their economic and physical life expectancy. Many of the larger
businesses in the market area are agriculturally related and function as produce packing
and shipping operations that operate primarily during harvest season. These large
agricultural businesses provide most of the employment.
Immokalee also has a large industrial component that is located on the east side of town
were processing plants, packing houses and similar agri-industrial uses are located. The
Public Facilities category is composed of the Immokalee Airport, the University of Florida
Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS) experimental farm, the Seminole Indian
reservation, schools, and government facilities.
The Seminole Casino Immokalee is 24 hour/7 days a week casino located along east side of
Immokalee Road as you enter into Immokalee. Gaming at the casino includes blackjack,
high paying slots, and live-action poker. In 2009 the casino received a $22 million
renovation. The casino now contains 75,600 square feet and a 750-seat outdoor pavilion for
music performances was also added. The newest addition to The Seminole Casino
Immokalee is the Seminole Casino Hotel which offers 19 suites along with 80 deluxe rooms.

According to the business summary report, the service, retail trade, and agriculture/mining
industries lead the business sector. However, the agriculture industry does dominate this
area and the above report might not take into account the number of part time/seasonal
employees. The agriculture economy is primarily based on a combination of commodity
prices and crop yields. In other words, if the farmers are making money, so will the local
and regional businesses. Farming is always uncertain and usually has a pattern of a few
exceptional years to more years of marginal profit or worse. Over time the lean and rich
years appear to average out to a steady economy. Agricultural labor is the driving force
behind the market area. During peak harvest season (Oct-May) the immediate area is
inundated by Mexican, Guatemalan, and Haitian migrant populations requiring close
proximity to local employment or local crew bus pick-up points for field harvesting.
The Collier County School Board operates four elementary schools, one middle school and
one high school. These schools are located within walking distance of most of the urban
area and are easily assessable by those who require transportation by school bus. Also
located in the neighborhood is the Immokalee Technical Center. The Immokalee Technical

MARKET AREA LIFE CYCLE
Market areas often pass through a four-stage life cycle of growth, stability, decline, and
revitalization.
• Growth – A period during which the market area gains public favor and acceptance.
• Stability – A period of equilibrium without marked gains or losses
• Decline – A period of diminishing demand
• Revitalization – A period of renewal, redevelopment, modernization and increasing
demand.
There has been considerable recovery in the Immokalee residential real estate market,
especially in Ave Maria which continues to be the number one selling single-family
community in the Naples-Ft Myers. Well located commercial land in Immokalee has also
increased, but other segments of the commercial market including agricultural
packing/distribution facilities appear to have remained flat for at least the past five years.
Developers are also taking positions by purchasing large tracts of land throughout the
market taking advantage of the population growth and the density benefits of the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. Overall, the market area is considered to be in a period
of growth.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the Immokalee community is primarily supported by Immokalee’s agri-
business. The success of future commercial development depends on the vitality of Florida
agriculture in a global economy. The outlook for the foreseeable future is always uncertain
with the volatility of agricultural markets and legislation on international trade. Future
growth of gaming and Ave Maria will help to stabilize and diversify Immokalee’s economy.
On the other hand, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area of the market area, will continue to
grow. There are two large projects (Hyde Park Village and Rivergrass Village) currently in
the process of trying to obtain Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) designation. This is one
of the last remaining areas in Collier County with tracts of land available for large scale
developments. The road network and infrastructure are sufficient to accommodate future
growth and with the success of Ave Maria, development to the east has become a proven
concept. The affordability will also be one the main drivers for future growth.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXES
By statute, real estate in Florida is assessed at 100% of fair market value as of January 1st
of the tax year. Since annual tax assessments are based on sales from previous years,
depending upon market trends, assessed values can fall on either side of the current
market value estimate. The tax assessment is usually not a reliable indicator of market
value.
Parcel Tax ID 00122840009
Assessment and Tax Year 2021 (Preliminary)
Land Assessment $127,725
Improvement Assessment $0
Total Assessment $127,725
10% CAP ($53,959)
Taxable Value $73,766
Taxes (March Payment) $0 (Tax exempt government agency)
Taxing Authority/Jurisdiction Collier County
The land is assessed at $1.52 per square foot, which is consistent with the land
assessments along Main Street. The assessed value is significantly less than my estimate
of market value.
The 2021 preliminary assessment reflects a 2.26% increase from 2020. The taxable value
was $67,060 in 2020 and increased 90.46%. The taxable value can increase a maximum of
10% annually and therefore the 10% CAP was applied.

Carroll & Carroll 45
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
DEFINITION
For typical appraisal practice in the United States, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,
Sixth Edition, published 2015 by the Appraisal Institute, defines Highest and Best Use as:
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the
highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility,
and maximum productivity.
METHOD
There are four criteria that must be met in order for a use to be the highest and best use for a
given property. The highest and best use must be:
• Legally permissible.
• Physically Possible.
• Financially feasible.
• Maximally productive.
Ordinarily these criteria are considered sequentially, each step narrowing the range of
alternative uses being considered.
ANALYSIS
SITE AS THOUGH VACANT
Legally Permissible: The north 0.67 acres or 35% of the site is zoned “C-4-MSOSD” and the
remainder is zoned “RMF-6”. The Growth Management Plan identifies the subject within
the Commerce Center – Mixed Use Subdistrict. The zoning ordinance and Growth
Management Plan are consistent in identifying the property for a commercial type use or a
mixed use (commercial and residential). The site meets the minimum requirements for
development.
Physically Possible: The L-shape reduces the number of physically possible uses due to the
long narrow shape and the required setbacks being along an arterial road. The property is
large enough to support development and the public infrastructure necessary to support
development is available. The location, access, the size of the property, and the physical
characteristics suggest some type of residential, commercial, or institutional use.
Financially Feasible: The financial feasibility of current office development is doubtful.
Market rental rates have not yet returned to a feasible level. In most cases rental rates are
still below the level necessary to support development.

5838 Report Highest and Best Use
Carroll & Carroll 46
Retail has rebounded and there is little available for lease along the Main Street/N. 15th
Street corridor. We have seen some recently completed speculative retail buildings in
several places throughout the neighborhood. Most are being developed by owner-users or
for national tenants. For most retail product, rental rates are still not high enough to
support new construction.
Single-family residential development is financially feasible, but only at a minimal land
value.
There is a proposed 128-unit low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) apartment complex
being developed on Lake Trafford Road. This would be the first new multi-family
developed in Immokalee in the past 10+ years. The newer rental complexes are heavily
subsidized. Determining whether subsidized housing is financially feasible is beyond the
scope of the assignment. Non-subsidized apartments are clearly not financially feasible.
Condominium/townhome development is an unproven residential product in Immokalee
and is not financially feasible.
New development of a school or social institution is less likely to be as affected by issues of
financial feasibility because the entrepreneurial profit incentive requirement is not the same.
Thus, a social institution is likely to be one of the few viable users of a property like the
subject site. However, the cost to develop new is significantly higher than the cost to
acquire an existing building. This argues against the financial feasibility of current
development. Ultimately, the financial success of development of a school, church, social
institution, or fraternal club is dependent on its ability to capture and keep members,
participants, and contributors. That sort of research is beyond the scope of this appraisal.
The inefficiency of the long, narrow shape argues against development of the subject parcel
alone.
Maximally Productive: The highest and best use of the site, as though vacant, is that it be
held until such time as development is financially feasible or be developed with an office,
retail, or institutional use by an owner-user that doesn’t meet the test of financial feasibility.
It is also would be beneficial to be assembled with adjacent parcels.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROACHES
Only the sales comparison approach is appropriate for this vacant parcel.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
INTRODUCTION
In the sales comparison approach, the subject property is compared with similar properties
that have sold recently or for which listing prices or offering prices are known. Data from
generally similar properties is used, and comparisons are made to demonstrate a probable
price at which the subject property would sell if offered on the market. This approach is
particularly strong when comparable sales data is plentiful and there is good conformity
among properties in the neighborhood.
Following is the procedure to be followed in developing this approach:
1. Research the market to gather information on sales, listings, and offers to purchase
properties similar to the subject.
2. Verify the information as to factual accuracy and arm's-length market considerations.
3. Identify relevant units of comparison and develop a comparative analysis for each
unit.
4. Compare the subject with comparable sale properties using elements of comparison
and adjust the sale price of each comparable appropriately.
5. Reconcile the various value indicators produced from the analysis of comparables into
a single value indication or a range of values.
The outline above is developed in detail on the following pages.
SALES DATA
A search was made for sales of land comparable to the subject site. Seven closed sales and
were identified as the best available for analysis.
Price per square foot of land area was developed as the unit of comparison, since that is the
unit best suited to our analysis, and the one most often utilized by local buyers, seller, and
brokers of land similar to the subject site.
Comparable land sales data is given on the following pages. Each comparable is identified
by a number which will be used for reference throughout the report. Each comparable is
identified on the location map immediately following this page.

DISCUSSION OF ADJUSTMENTS
Usually, comparable sale properties are not exactly like the subject property. If a typical
buyer would perceive the difference to be significant, then adjustment(s) must be made to
the comparable sales so that in the end each offers a realistic indication of value for the
subject. Adjusting comparable sales is a two-step process.
First, adjustments are made so that all of the comparable sales meet the standard of a
“market” transaction as outlined in the definition of market value. Customarily, the first
group of adjustments is made before the comparables are reduced to a common unit of
comparison. Included at this stage are adjustments to bring historic sales current to the
appraisal effective date.
The second group of adjustments is made after an appropriate unit of comparison is chosen.
These adjustments account for physical differences like location, physical characteristics and
size. Sometimes adjustment is required for differences in the permitted land use (zoning) or
in the availability of public service (infrastructure). When the adjustment process is
complete, the unit value indications are reconciled and converted into an estimate of value
for the subject.
REAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CONVEYED
This adjustment category is intended to account for the interest, benefits, and rights
inherent in the ownership of real estate. This category reflects the impact on value caused
by the fee simple versus the leased fee interest or the contract rent as opposed to market
rent.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
This adjustment category is intended to account for a variety of factors that might affect
the purchase price.
• Comparable 4 was purchased by the adjacent owner for additional parking. The long
narrow shape greatly reduces the potential uses. It appears he paid a premium since
he is likely the only viable user. Comparable 4 was adjusted downward 15% for the
premium paid by the adjacent owner.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
This category of adjustment is intended to account for the positive or negative contribution
to value of building improvements included with the sale of the land. Buildings that made
a positive contribution to the sale price require a negative adjustment. Buildings that were
demolished and removed require a positive adjustment to account for demolition costs
which are treated as part of the purchase price.

• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
FINANCING
Adjustments in this category are intended to account for unusual terms of financing that
are not considered equivalent to cash or conventional financing.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
MARKET CHANGE
This adjustment is intended to account for changes in value due to the ebb and flow of
market forces over time.
• Market conditions make accurate measurement of this adjustment difficult. The land
market is composed of end users, so we are not seeing the pattern of
investor/speculator sale and resale that lends itself to good matched paired analysis.
Based on conversations with brokers active in the Immokalee market, they believe that
the commercial land market is stable. Comparables 1 and 2 are similar sites along N.
15th Street. Comparable 1 sold in July 2021 for $650,000 and Comparable 2 sold in April
2020 for $625,000. Analyzing the two sales on a whole dollar amount indicates a
market change rate of 0.27% per month over the 15-month period. I applied a market
change rate of 0.25% per month or 3.00% annually through the effective date.
LOCATION/ACCESS/EXPOSURE
This category of adjustment reflects the impact on value caused by the advantages or
disadvantages of a given location.
• Comparables 1, 2, and 3 are located along N. 15th Street, which is a superior location.
Comparable 2 is located near the intersection of N. 15th Street and Lake Trafford Road
and was adjusted downward 40%. Comparables 1 and 3 are located south of
Immokalee Drive. Comparable 1 is adjacent to McDonalds and was adjusted
downward 40% and Comparable 3 was adjusted downward 25% for its superior
location.
• Comparable 7 is an interior location along Eustis Avenue with no exposure along a
main arterial road. Comparable 7 was adjusted upward 50% for its inferior location.
UTILITIES/INFRASTRUCTURE
This category of adjustment references the availability and adequacy of the road system,
the public was distribution system and the public waste water collection system of each

5838 Report Sales Comparison Approach
Carroll & Carroll 59
comparable property as that compares with the same services available to the subject
property.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/LAND USE
This category of adjustment accounts for differences in the potential land uses
(Comprehensive Plan) or in the specific uses (Zoning) to which a property could be
developed. Differences in value between the subject property and comparable sales might
exist because their highest and best uses are different as a result of government regulation
through zoning and land use controls.
• Comparable 7 does not have any commercial zoning on the property. The residential
zoning is an inferior feature and Comparable 7 was adjusted upward 20%.
SIZE/SHAPE
This category of adjustment addresses the effect on the marketability of a given property,
because its physical size/shape might limit the physical utility, or because the size and
term of the financial investment required of an investor/speculator is such that the unit
price is reduced.
• There is scarce data to prove the size adjustment, but adequate experience to support
the opinion that small parcels often sell for higher unit values. This is because small
parcels are priced on a whole dollar basis and thus tend to compete well on a unit basis
because there is nothing less expensive to buy. Comparables 3 and 4 are significantly
smaller than the subject and each was adjusted downward 10%. Comparable 6 is
considerably larger and was adjusted upward 10%.
• The subject is a long, narrow, L-shaped parcel. Due to its irregular shape, Comparables
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 were adjusted downward 10% for their superior shapes.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This category of adjustment reflects the physical aspects of a property that impact its use
for development. Physical characteristics included land elevation, soil conditions,
drainage characteristics, threatened or endangered plant and animal species on the
property and the extent and density of covering vegetation.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.

RECAPITULATION OF DATA
After making the adjustments discussed above, the comparable sales indicated the
following unit values:
Comparables Price Per Sq. Ft.
of Land Area
1 $7.47
2 $7.15
3 $5.07
4 $6.78
5 $4.52
6 $4.55
7 $5.21
RECONCILIATION OF DATA
To arrive at a conclusion regarding the value of the subject, the comparable sales and their
indications of value should be weighted according to the quality of each as a value
indicator.
Comparables 5 and 6 are the strongest indicators of value and received the most
consideration and weight.
Comparable 3 is a recent sale and a good indicator of value. Comparable 3 received
considerable weight.
Comparables 1, 2, and 7 all required significant adjustments for location and received less
weight.
Comparable 4 was purchased by the adjacent owner and not a good indicator of value and
received minimal weight.
The range of unit value indications is from $4.52 to $7.47 per square foot. The arithmetic
mean of the seven comparables is $5.82 per square foot. The range of the three best sales
(Comparables 3, 5, and 6) is $4.52 to $5.07 per square foot and the average is $4.71 per
square foot. Based on the range of sales, I concluded to a unit value of $5.00 per square foot.
ESTIMATE OF VALUE
$5.00 per square foot results in an indication of value for the subject as of October 6, 2021 of
$420,715 (84,143 square feet x $5.00 per square foot), which rounds to $420,000.

D. General Commercial District (C-4). The general commercial district (C-4) is intended to provide for those
types of land uses that attract large segments of the population at the same time by virtue of scale, coupled
with the type of activity. The purpose and intent of the C-4 district is to provide the opportunity for the most
diverse types of commercial activities delivering goods and services, including entertainment and
recreational attractions, at a larger scale than the C-1 through C-3 districts. As such, all of the uses permitted
in the C-1 through C-3 districts are also permitted in the C-4 district. The outside storage of merchandise and
equipment is prohibited, except to the extent that it is associated with the commercial act ivity conducted on-
site such as, but not limited to, automobile sales, marine vessels, and the renting and leasing of equipment.
Activity centers are suitable locations for the uses permitted by the C -4 district because most activity centers
are located at the intersection of arterial roads. Therefore the uses in the C-4 district can most be sustained
by the transportation network of major roads. The C-4 district is permitted in accordance with the locational
criteria for uses and the goals, objectives, and policies as identified in the future land use element of the
Collier County GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in a district shall not exceed the
density permissible under the density rating system.

Catholic Charities has acquired the 4.5 acres of property adjacent on the West side of the Immokalee CRA
parcel on the corner of West Main Street and South 9th Street.
Catholic Charities seeks to acquire the CRA property (at market value) to develop a community campus that

Why? Because it will meet needs and because…as Cardinal Ferrell said:

RE: Letter of Intent to purchase 107 S 9th Street, Immokalee, FL property
Parcel No. 00122840009
Dear Debrah,
We respectfully submit this revised letter of intent to purchase the above referenced CRA
property as discussed during the January 26, 2022 meeting with Immokalee CRA Board and
members of the community.
As we stated during that meeting, Catholic Charities is amenable to including a reversionary
clause on the purchase giving the Immokalee CRA right of first refusal to purchase the property
back from Catholic Charities (at market value) should no reasonable development progress be
achieved by a certain time. Based on feedback and the scope of work for development, our
estimate is that a 5-year timeline would be favorable for both parties.
Also, for the current purchase of the property, Catholic Charities recognizes that the market
value for the property may need updated appraisals. Catholic Charities is willing to look at the
appraised values that were obtained and come to a mutually agreed upon established value.
We look forward to meeting with you, your staff, and the CRA Board to discuss next steps.
Please call me at 941-323-2639 or write me at eduardo.gloria@catholiccharitiesdov.org if you
have any questions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
