CCLAAC EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase for 1.59 acres under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, at a cost not to exceed $36,700 (Hofmann Trust). OBJECTIVE: Request approval of the attached Agreement for Sale and Purchase (Agreement) between the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and Adelaida Hofmann as Trustee of the Adelaida Hofmann Revocable Trust (Seller). CONSIDERATIONS: The Seller's property contains 1.59 acres and is located the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve located off Desoto Blvd. The property is within Golden Gate Estates, Unit 91. The Seller's property site is vacant, fully wooded majority cypress with 100% hydric slough soils present. The approved Conservation Collier Purchasing Policy (Resolution 2007-300) requires if the estimated value of the property is less than $500,000.00, one appraisal report will be obtained, and the Offer Amount will be equal to the appraised value. In accordance with the Purchasing Policy, the purchase price of $36,000 was based upon one (1) independent, state -certified general real estate appraisal firm. The total cost to obtain appraisals for the parcels in this area was $3,900. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of acquisition will not exceed $36,700 ($36,000 for the property, and approximately $700 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of documents). The funds will be withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Trust Fund (172). As of November 8, 2022, property costs for Conservation Collier properties, including this property and those under contract, total $112,030,447. Estimated costs of maintenance in perpetuity for this and all Cycle 10 A -list properties have been considered by the CCLAAC and have been incorporated into the Conservation Collier Long Term Financial Management Plan that will ensure management of all Conservation Collier Preserves in perpetuity. The average annual per acre maintenance cost for the first 5 years (initial maintenance costs) is $415/acre including exotic vegetation removal. After initial restoration, the average maintenance costs by Conservation Collier are approximately $150 per acre. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Fee simple acquisition of conservation lands is consistent with and supports Policy 1.3.1(e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. - RTT RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the CCLAAC: 1. Approve the attached Agreement; and 2. Recommend to the Board approval and authorization for the Chairman to execute the Agreement on behalf of the Board. PREPARED BY: Cindy M.

Potential access for nature -based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County This parcel offers access from 38th Ave SE off Desoto Blvd — a paved public road. This property could accommodate outdoor recreation, particularly due to the proximity to the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve. Opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control The parcel has many wetland dependent plant species and contains karst topography, which is a wetland indicator, despite soils that indicate that wetlands may also be seasonal. The parcel provides minimal water quality enhancement beyond accommodating sheet flow into the I-75 canal. Property enhances and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link, or habitat corridor The Hofmann Trust parcel expands the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve. This parcel, joined with many others, could also permanently protect a corridor between North Belle Meade and the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge. Zoning, Growth Management and Land Use Overlays: The parcel is within the Northern Golden Gate Estates. The zoning classification is Estates (E), a rural residential classification. There are no additional land use overlays applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of acquisition will not exceed $422,600 ($419,000 for the property, $900 for the appraisal, and approximately $2,700 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of documents). The funds will be withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Trust Fund (172). As of December 13, 2022, property costs for Conservation Collier properties, including this property and those under contract, total $112,119,747. Estimated costs of maintenance in perpetuity for this and all Cycle 10 A -list properties have been considered by the CCLAAC and have been incorporated into the Conservation Collier Long Term Financial Management Plan that will ensure management of all Conservation Collier Preserves in perpetuity. The average annual per acre maintenance cost for the first 5 years (initial maintenance costs) is $821/acre including exotic vegetation removal. After initial restoration, the average maintenance costs by Conservation Collier are approximately $150 per acre. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Fee simple acquisition of conservation lands is consistent with and supports Policy 1.3.1(e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient. - RTT RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the CCLAAC: 1. Approve the attached Agreement; and 2. Recommend to the Board approval and authorization for the Chairman to execute the Agreement on behalf of the Board. PREPARED BY: Cindy M.

The parcel contains the native tropical hardwood hammock plant community, and two listed plant species were observed on site. Multiple active gopher tortoise burrows exist within the parcel, and the parcel does contain burrowing owl habitat. This parcel is in the Urban Target Protection Area and has access from a public road and sidewalk. It provides wildlife viewing and greenspace in a neighborhood where nearly every lot is developed. The parcel is too small to accommodate trails but can be enjoyed from the sidewalk. Zoning, Growth Management and Land Use Overlays: The WISC parcel is zoned Residential Single-Family-3. The maximum building density is 3 units per gross acre. Projected Management Activities: Primary management activities will include control of exotic plant populations (which currently constitute less than 25% of plant cover) and creation and installation of signage. The parcel would be visible from a public road and sidewalk. No vehicular access onto the parcel would be recommended. A marked trail could possibly be created through portions of the parcel. This would only require trail posts and trail roping to keep visitors off gopher tortoise burrows. No trail installation would be required; trail markers and roping would be placed in the existing barren areas. The parcel is within walking distance of many residences and commercial parking lots. Creating parking within the parcel would not be recommended because of its small size, native vegetation, and wildlife utilization. If other parcels in the area are acquired along with this parcel, Conservation Collier will coordinate with the City of Marco Island regarding parking. Depending on location, the City of Marco Island has offered to assist in providing off-street parking on pervious material and the installation of signage consistent with the City's Land Development Codes.

Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 1. Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. 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 11th acquisition cycle (Quarter B) to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location and assessed value, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. 4 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Richard D.

Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 2.2 Summary of Assessed Value and Property Cost Estimates The interest being appraised is fee simple "as is" for the purchase of the site. A value of the parcels was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. It 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 relies upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusion is limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. If the Board of County Commissioners choose to acquire this property, an appraisal by an independent Real Estate Appraiser will be obtained at that time. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, one appraisal is required for the Brewer parcels, which has an initial valuation less than $500,000; 1 independent Real Estate Appraiser will value the subject property and that appraisal report will determine the actual value of the subject property. Table 3. Assessed & Estimated Value Property owner Address Acreage Assessed EstimatedValue* Value** Richard Brewer No address 14.78 $269,838 TBD * Assessed Value is obtained from the Property Appraiser's Website. The Assessed Value is based off the current use of the property. **The Estimated Market Value for the Brewer parcels will be obtained from the Collier County Real Estate Services Department prior to CCLAAC ranking in December 2022. 2.2.1 Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. The three parcels east of the Corkscrew Canal are zoned Estates, which allows for 1 unit per 2.25 acres. The one 4.09-acre parcel west of the Corkscrew Canal is zoned Agricultural, which allows for 1 unit per 5 acres.

Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 2.3 Initial Screening Criteria Satisfaction (Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10) Criteria 1: Native Habitats Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: 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 Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 1: Parcels contain Cypress, Mixed Hardwood Coniferous Swamp (Red Maple), and freshwater marsh. Criteria 2: Human Social Values 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? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 2: These parcels can be viewed from a public road and roosting swallow-tailed kites are visible from the road even though a condition of sale for the property is that there be no public access on property to protect roosting swallow-tailed kites. Criteria 3: Water Resources 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? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 3: These parcels contain hydric soils and wetland vegetation communities. Although the hydrology of the parcels has been affected by their proximity to the Corkscrew Canal, they do hold some water in portions during the wet season. The parcels also buffer the Corkscrew canal within their boundaries. 10 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D. Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 Criteria 4: Biological and Ecological Value Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 4: The parcels are adjacent to SFWMD Bird Rookery Swamp and are most likely utilized by the Florida panther. The parcels are an annual swallow- tailed kite pre -migration roost site. Criteria 5: Enhancement of Current Conservation Lands Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? Yes Is this property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? Yes Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 5: The parcels enhance the environmental value of current conservation lands by providing a buffer and ecological link to the adjacent CREW conservation lands managed by the South Florida Water Management District. The western- most parcel (00209681000) is within the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed Florida Forever Project Area; however, Conservation Collier funds will not significantly increase the rank or funding priority of the parcel for Florida Forever, and the small size of the parcel makes it undesirable for the state to pursue it for acquisition. 11 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Richard D.

Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Date: November 2, 2022 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities The property is primarily Mixed Hardwood Coniferous Swamp and Cypress. The dominant canopy trees are red maple (Acer rubrum) and cypress (Taxodium distichum). The midstory is comprised of cabbage palm (Saba) palmetto), groundsel tree (Baccharis halimifolia), myrsine (Myrsine cubana), and wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa). The understory is dominated by swamp fen (Telmatoblechnum serrulatum). Other species observed include: pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), alligator flag (Thalia geniculata), strangler fig (Ficus aurea), and red bay (Persea borbonia). The overall condition of the plant communities within the property is good with an estimated exotic plant coverage of 25%. Exotic plants were treated in place within the 5-acre parcel east of the canal. The dominant exotics noted were Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia) and old-world climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum); however, scattered Caesarweed (Urena lobata) and creeping signalgrass (Urochloa humidicola) were also present Table 4.

Swallow-tailed kites complete an annual 10,000-mile migration, flying from South America to reach winter nesting sites beginning in early February throughout mostly Florida, as well as limited portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Carolinas. Upon arrival to natural areas and nesting habitat within Collier County, swallow tailed kites select a mate, build a nest, lay 1-3 eggs and raise their young through to fledging. Swallow-tailed kites in Collier County primarily select nesting sites comprised of Florida slash pine or bald cypress adjacent to a mosaic of habitat types such as freshwater marshes and prairies that offer ample opportunities to forage and provide food for their young. Anecdotal observations of nest monitoring on Conservation Collier preserves indicates that swallow-tailed kites will select for the same nest tree or a nest tree in close proximity to a previous nesting site year after year. Following nesting and chick rearing, swallow tailed kites and their recently fledged young spend several weeks foraging and building up fat reserves in anticipation of the return migration flight to South America. Kites that are carrying out pre -migration fueling and foraging often travel to pre -migration communal roost sites where they congregate in large numbers and perch and rest throughout the evening before resuming their foraging activities. Once environmental and seasonal cues trigger migration, swallow- tailed kites throughout their range in the Southeastern US will begin the dangerous flight south, stopping at known roost sites along the way before crossing the Gulf of Mexico. Significance of a Roost Site The habitat within the Brewer parcels is used as a known pre -migratory roost site by the swallow-tailed kite. Communal roost sites are known locations where a few to a few thousand birds congregate and perch and rest each year prior to migration. Swallow-tailed kites are social in all aspects of their lives, unlike other raptors. Roost sites provide many things: safety in numbers, resting places and places of communication on where to find food the next day. During the pre -migratory prep time, kites use 16 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D. Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 each other to navigate to ephemeral food sources to bulk up on insects and put on the fat reserves they need to make the migration across the dangerous water crossing ahead. Migration is risky and difficult and having a known location to sleep, and rest is vital for their preparation. The known communally used roosting locations within FL are the network of safe places for kites in their most important time of their lives. Ongoing Research The Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI) in Gainesville, FL in a non-profit research -based organization founded in 1997 which focuses on applied ecological studies of rare and imperiled birds in the United States and Latin America. ARCI maintains a swallow-tailed kite sighting database and monitors populations annually at large, pre -migration roosts numbering in the thousands in Florida before the birds fly south to Brazil and Bolivia for the winter. Conservation Collier staff contacted ARCI researchers in September of 2021 for information related to the known swallow-tailed kite roost located within the Brewer application parcels as well as historical data of an additional roost site known as the Corkscrew site that may include numbers from the Brewer roost. The Corkscrew site has been monitored by ARCI as a swallow-tailed kite roost site since 1989, and the Brewer roost specifically has been monitored since 2005. ARCI researchers conduct aerial roost counts each year via a small - fixed wing plane and include the Brewer roost in their annual flight counts. ARCI staff also deploy GPS- equipped satellite transmitters on selected swallow-tailed kites throughout their range in the Southeastern United states. Swallow-tailed kites equipped with GPS transmitters provide researchers with up to eight location points per day and provide a map of utilization of nesting sites, foraging areas, roost sites, and migration tracks between the United States and South America. Ground counts, aerial monitoring, and gps transmitter observations of kite roost utilization provide researchers with opportunities to understand habitat needs and ranges, critical breeding areas, annual survival, and migration and wintering threats. Many of the kites tracked by ARCI to the Brewer roost are there for one night and the next day they often fly across the Gulf on their way to Mexico — the last resting night before a big, dangerous over water trip that is vital to their well-being before this risky part of their migration. Although it is quite possible that the Brewer roost site is also used by the local nesting kites (especially early in the post breeding/pre-migration time), ARCI GPS tracking data shows that birds throughout Florida and to the farthest stretches of the breeding population in northern South Carolina and even Louisiana have used the Brewer roost site before embarking on their flight to South America. According to Gina Kent (ARCI Senior Conservation Scientist), the Brewer roost site could be considered important on a kite range -wide scale. As the other larger kite roost sites in Florida are at their peak in late July, it is quite possible that there are mostly new, northern kites spending the night in the Brewer roost each night. It is also possible that some local, nearby breeding kites that 17 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

Table contains raw data received via e-mail from Gina Kent, ARCI Senior Conservation Scientist Table 6 represents counts from both the ground and a fixed wing plane of the number of kites utilizing the Brewer and Corkscrew roost during the pre -migration survey period. In addition to visual counts, ARCI has records of GPS-kite use of known roosts in FL since 2011. Many of the kites they track to the Brewer roost are there for one night and then move south. Thirteen GPS-kites have used the Brewer roost since 2011. Of kites that have used the roost they are from GA (n=1), SC (n=3), FL (n=8), and even LA (n=1). Many kites have spent time (1 to 30 nights) in other known (sometimes multiple) FL roosts before coming to the Brewer roost. A tagged kite from TM Carlton Reserve (70 miles away) went to the Brewer roost every year for 4 years (from 2017 to 2020), spending 1 to 4 nights. 18 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

Development Implications In email correspondence with Senior Conservation Scientist with ARCI, Gina Kent, it was noted that, "ARCI supports the purchase of this site for swallow-tailed kite roost protection." It was further elaborated that if the Brewer site were to be developed, this historic stopover resting location would be gone. If there were nesting kites on the property, there may not be habitat for them to nest in. Also, on the larger, broader scale, for many of the kites from the US population passing through this area, they no longer would have this known refuge to rest before they cross the ocean. They would have to find a new spot, perhaps one that is also unprotected, one prone to disturbance, or even predators like owls. 19 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

The parcels provide protection of habitat utilized by wetland dependent species such as listed wading birds like the little blue heron and wood stork. Low lying areas within the property hold water during the wet season and after significant rain events. The parcels are not within a wellfield protection zone. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Mapped soils include "Boca, Riviera, Limestone Substratum and Copeland Fine Sand, Depressional" — a hydric, very poorly drained soil that is associated with depressions, cypress swamps, and marshes - and "Holopaw Fine Sand"- a hydric, poorly drained soil that is associated with sloughs and poorly defined drainageways. 24 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

The parking area and trailhead are about 1.5 miles from the Brewer parcels, and the CREW Bird Rookery trails provide public access to natural communities that are representative of the same communities within the Brewer parcels. Visitors can also view the roosting swallow-tailed kites from Wilson Blvd. North and 47t" Ave. NW and fish in the Corkscrew Canal. 3.2.2 Accessibility The sale of these parcels is contingent upon approval of a restrictive covenant that would prohibit public access to preserve the property as an undisturbed sanctuary for roosting swallow-tailed kites; however, as stated in Section 3.2.1 above, parking and public access trails through representative habitat are available less than 2 miles away. 3.2.3 Aesthetic/Cultural Enhancement The parcels are visible from Wilson Blvd. North and 47th Ave. NW and would provide protection of the green -space aesthetic views along these roadways. Mature cypress and roosting swallow-tailed kites provide aesthetic/cultural enhancement to Collier County.

In an effort to restore the native plant communities on -site for the benefit of local wildlife, the property owner applied for and received a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Partners for Fish and Wildlife grant. The 5-acre parcel east of the canal received an initial and follow-up maintenance treatment for exotics. Vegetative structure and midstory density has been shown to be a component of swallow-tailed kite nesting site selection however limited research has been carried out to understand the site selection preferences for migratory roost sites. A portion of the parcel was targeted for exotics removal in gradual phases in order to monitor for and prevent possible impacts to the annual site selection and preference of roosting swallow-tailed kites and the 5-acre parcel selected for initial treatment testing represents the area with the lowest utilization by roosting kites and the lowest potential disturbance to the site. This parcel will require maintenance treatments, while the remaining parcels will require initial treatment, to be continued in a closely monitored phased approach to ensure no impacts are caused to the existing swallow-tailed kite roost. Few exotic plants appear to be present within the 4.09-acre parcel west of the Corkscrew canal. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire The parcels do not contain fire dependent communities, therefore prescribed fire would not be recommended. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security No site security issues appear to exist within the parcels beyond consideration for limiting trespass or other disturbance activity during the most sensitive months of the swallow-tailed kite roosting activity 3.3.3 Assistance Staff does not anticipate management assistance from other agencies but would continue to collaborate with the Avian Research Conservation Institute to collect count data on the regional significance of this roosting site and explore further monitoring opportunities. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use The three parcels east of the Corkscrew Canal are zoned Estates, which allows for 1 unit per 2.25 acres. The one 4.09-acre parcel west of the Corkscrew Canal is zoned Agricultural, which allows for 1 unit per 5 acres. The parcels directly north and south of the property as well as several parcels in the surrounding area are developed with single-family residences. 30 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

Acquisition Considerations Staff would like to bring the following items to the attention of the Advisory Committee during the review of this property. The following items may not have significantly affected the scoring but are worth noting. Audubon Florida and its Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary support acquisition and prohibition of onsite public access to protect the swallow-tailed kite pre -migration roost site. Additionally, the Avian Research and Conservation Institute supports the purchase of this site for swallow-tailed kite roost protection. 5.

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 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. This property would not be a good candidate for FCT funding. Florida Forever Program: Although these parcels are within a Florida Forever Program boundary, because of their size, the State will not pursue their acquisition. 33 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D.

Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 APPENDIX 1— Critical Lands and Water Identification Maps (CLIP) Definitions 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. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Prioritv Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best -available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote -sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Fieure 10. Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Ma 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. 43 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00209681000; 38601280000; 38601320106; 38601360001 Owner Names: Richard D. Brewer Date: November 2, 2022 Figure 11: CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones High priorities indicate high potential for recharge to an underlying aquifer system (typically the Floridan aquifer but could be intermediate or surficial aquifers in some portions of the state). The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section. 44 Conservation Collier Initial Criteria Screening Report Mcllvane Marsh Parcels Owner Names: Connection Investors Group LLC and Relevant Radio, Inc.

Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. 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 11th acquisition cycle (Quarter B) to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location and assessed value, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. 4 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 2.

Values of the parcels were estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. It 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 relies upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusion is limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. If the Board of County Commissioners choose to acquire these properties, appraisals by an independent Real Estate Appraiser will be obtained at that time. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, one appraisal is required for each parcel, which both having an initial valuation less than $500,000; 1 independent Real Estate Appraiser will value the each subject property and that appraisal report will determine the actual value of each subject property.

Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities Both parcels contain mangrove swamp, dominated by red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) and leather fern (Acrostichum danaeifolium) with some buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). The Relevant Radio parcel also contains salt marsh, which is dominated by various grasses and rushes. Exotic plant density appears to be 25% on both parcels. Brazilian pepper and Java plum are found along the roads on the Relevant Radio parcel. Old world climbing fern is expected in the mangroves of both parcels. No listed plant species were observed; however, it is highly probable that multiple Tillandsia species exist within both parcels. 14 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 1' 0 1 CONNECTION INVESTORS GROUP 0 LLC RELEVANT RADIO INC CLIP4 Priority Natural Communities Priority 1 (highest) Priority 2 Priority 3 Priority 4 CON - 11C,ATION 7LL" Ca er Couxty Figure 4 - CLIP4 Priority Noturol Communities 15 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 1' 0 0.1 CONNECTION INVESTORS GROUP LLC Land Cover I Mangrove Swamp CON ATION r� LL1ER �ARIT� y Figure 5o - Connection Investors Group FL Cooperative Land Cover Classification System Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 0.1 RELEVANT RADIO INC Land Cover Estuarine Mangrove Swamp Salt Marsh CONS-E R.

Both also provide protection from storm surge and buffer adjacent wetlands. Although neither parcel is adjacent to a designated Outstanding Water Body, both are within approximately 1,500 feet of Outstanding Florida Waters. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Both parcels contain hydric soils. Mapped soils show that "Wulfert Mucks, Frequently Flooded" - a very poorly drained soil found in tidal mangrove swamps — comprises 100% of the Connection Investors Group parcel and the southern three quarters of the Relevant Radio parcel. The northern quarter of the Relevant Radio parcel is comprised of "Estero and Peckish Soils, Frequently Flooded" — a very poorly drained soil associated with frequently flooded tidal marshes. 22 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 El CONNECTION INVESTORS GROUP 0 LLC RELEVANT RADIO INC Wellfield Protection Zones 1-YEAR 2-YEAR 5-YEAR 20-Y EAR CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority 1- HIGHEST Priority 2 Priority 3 Priority 4 Priority 5 Priority 6 Figure 11 - CLIP Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones 1 Coen Couxty 11 CURCIE RD CON E .

A locked gate at the south end of Curcie Road prohibits vehicular entrance to the Mcllvane Marsh area. The gate is shared by Collier Seminole State Park, the Ten Thousand Islands NWR, Rookery Bay NERR, and Conservation Collier. To protect the sensitive nature of lands managed by these agencies, which includes wading bird rookeries and nesting American crocodiles, public access is prohibited in the Mcllvane Marsh area. 3.2.2 Accessibility These parcels are not accessible to the public. 3.2.3 Aesthetic/Cultural Enhancement These parcels do not contain any noteworthy features that would make them aesthetically or culturally significant. 27 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 3.3 Restoration and Management 3.3.1 Vegetation Management 3.3.1.1 Invasive Vegetation Twenty-five percent of the parcels is covered with invasive vegetation — primarily Brazilian pepper and old-world climbing fern. A few stands of Java plum and Australian pine also exist within the Relevant Radio parcel. Brazilian pepper lines the berms within the property that facilitate access to the radio towers. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire These parcels contain wetlands that would not be part of a prescribed fire burn rotation. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security No site security issues appear to exist within the parcel. 3.3.3 Assistance Assistance from other agencies or organizations is not anticipated. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use These parcels are zoned Agricultura with a Future Land Use Designation of Conservation, which allows for 1 unit per 5 acres. 28 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 C CONNECTION INVESTORS GROUP LLC RELEVANT RADIO INC Zoning General A CON-ACSC/ST CON-ST PUD CON ATION LLIER Co ier Couxty �' Figure 15 —Zoning 29 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 1' 0 1 Miles CONNECTION INVESTORS GROUP LLC RELEVANT RADIO INC Future Land Use ® Agricultural / Rural Designation Conservation Designation RF-Neutral CON TION LLIER Co [3er Comity Figure 16 — Future Land Use 30 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 3.4.2 Development Plans The parcels are not currently planned for development. 4. Acquisition Considerations Staff would like to bring the following items to the attention of the Advisory Committee during the review of this property. The following items may not have significantly affected the scoring but are worth noting. The Relevant Radio parcel contains three separate radio towers accessible via manmade berms within the property and a tower maintenance building in the southeast corner of the property. The Seller indicated a willingness to proceed with one of the following options should the County pursue acquisition of the parcel. Option 1— Seller carves out and retains ownership of the southeast corner of the property, removes the 3 towers, and installs 1 new tower in the southeast corner where he retained ownership. Option 2 — Collier County leases back the towers and building to the Seller for a limited number of years in anticipation of removing both from the property at the end of the lease. Staff recommends Option 1 if the property is pursued for acquisition, because radio towers are not considered a compatible use on Conservation Collier lands.

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 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 advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on funding 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. Additional Funding Sources: There are no additional funding sources known at this time. 32 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 7.

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. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Prioritv Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best -available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote -sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Fieure 10. Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Ma 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. 46 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00775600007 and 00775160000 Owner Names: Connection Investors Group and Relevant Radio Date: November 2, 2022 Figure 11: CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones High priorities indicate high potential for recharge to an underlying aquifer system (typically the Floridan aquifer but could be intermediate or surficial aquifers in some portions of the state). The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section. 47 Conservation Collier Initial Criteria Screening Report Hoffman Parcels . y��y1"` 4f 1 d M� P ;. , A P� •' • °!

Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. 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 11th acquisition cycle (Quarter B) to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location and assessed value, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. 4 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman 2.

A value of the parcels was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. It 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 relies upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusion is limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. If the Board of County Commissioners chooses to acquire the property, an appraisal by an independent Real Estate Appraiser will be obtained at that time. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, one appraisal is required for the Hoffman parcels, which have an initial valuation less than $500,000; 1 independent Real Estate Appraiser will value the subject property and that appraisal report will determine the actual value of the subject property. Table 3. Assessed & Estimated Value Property owner Address Acreage Assessed EstimatedValue* Value** Roy Hoffman No address 15.0 $75,000 TBD * Assessed Value is obtained from the Property Appraiser's Website. The Assessed Value is based off the current use of the property. **The Estimated Market Value for the Hoffman parcels will be obtained from the Collier County Real Estate Services Department prior to CCLAAC ranking in December 2022. 2.2.1 Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. The parcels are zoned Agricultural but are Receiving Lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) and have a North Belle Meade Overlay. The maximum building density is 1 dwelling unit per acre with redemption of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) credits and 0.2 units per acre (1 unit per 5 acres) without redemption of TDR credits.

Criteria 3: Water Resources 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? NO Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 3: Although the parcels are within a 20-year wellfield protection zone, they contain no wetlands and contribute only minimally to aquifer recharge. 10 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Criteria 4: Biological and Ecological Value Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 Date: November 2, 2022 Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 4: The parcels and surrounding lands show heavy use by Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi). Florida black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus) and red -cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) have also been documented using adjacent parcels. The parcels themselves to not contain significant biological values, but in addition to surrounding undeveloped lands, they provide value. Criteria 5: Enhancement of Current Conservation Lands Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? NO Is this property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? NO Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 5: There are no known conservation lands adjacent to this parcel. It is surrounded by undeveloped land. 11 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Date: November 2, 2022 3. Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities Although the parcels are mapped as mesic flatwoods, improved pasture, and hydric pine flatwoods, they can best be described as disturbed Cabbage Palm with much of the understory cleared. The canopy consists almost entirely of cabbage palms (Saba) palmetto). There are occasional laurel oaks (Quercus laurifolia), but also dead snags that appear to have been oaks. Other plants observed in the midstory and groundcover include cabbage palm, various grasses, dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), golden polypody (Phlebodium aureum), and bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum). Exotic plants present at a density between 10%-15% and included primarily Caesarweed (Urena lobata) with some lantana (Lantana strigocamara), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia) and melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia). No listed plant species were observed. 12 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 Date: November 2, 2022 1' 0 0.2 Miles Q HOFFMAN, ROY CLIP4 Priority Natural Communities ?jrTIT - Ulb.

Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) telemetry points have been detected within the parcel while Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) telemetry points and red cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) observations have been documented within surrounding parcels. Although the parcels contain little biodiversity, their open understory is desirable to many Florida panther prey species and, coupled with the many acres of surrounding undeveloped land, would be desirable to a variety of different wildlife species including sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis) and crested caracara (Caracara plancus).

Acquisition Considerations Staff would like to bring the following items to the attention of the Advisory Committee during the review of this property. The following items may not have significantly affected the scoring but are worth noting. These properties could be within the alignment of the future Wilson Benfield Road Extension. If these properties are approved for the A -List, staff will take this information into consideration when planning amenities and public access on the site. Additionally, when applicable, language will be memorialized in the Purchase Agreements and related closing documents to ensure Collier County Transportation will be able to purchase a portion of the properties from Conservation Collier for future right-of-way, if and when needed, at the original per -acre acquisition cost. Additionally, there is a potential that adjacent lands surrounding these parcels will be mined. Without the surrounding lands, the significance of these parcels is diminished. 29 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Date: November 2, 2022 1 0 1 2 3 HOFFMAK ROY Cycle 10 Cycle 11A Cycle 11 B - Conservation Collier Preserve North2022 Central2022 South2022 CON EiNlATION CiiQLL1ER Figure 18 — Northern -most potential alignment for Wilson Benfield Road Extension 30 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 5.

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 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 advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on funding parcels already included on its ranked priority list. These parcels are 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. Additional Funding Sources: There are no additional funding sources known at this time. 31 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman 7.

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. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Prioritv Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best -available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote -sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Fieure 10 - Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Ma 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. 43 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Roy Hoffman Folio Numbers: 00326400009 and 00328120002 Figure 11- CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones Date: November 2, 2022 High priorities indicate high potential for recharge to an underlying aquifer system (typically the Floridan aquifer but could be intermediate or surficial aquifers in some portions of the state). The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section. 44 Conservation Collier Initial Criteria Screening Report Dredge Management Parcel 1 0 0.25 Miles Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Folio Number: 00742040001 Size: 18.73 Staff Report Date: November 2, 2022 Total Score: 244/400 200 160 5 92 80 80 67 80 10 50 3� 55 0 1 - Ecological 2 - Human 3 - Restoration 4 - Vulnerability Value Value and Management ■ Awarded Points 0 Possible Points Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Table of Contents Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Date: November 2, 2022 Tableof Contents......................................................................................................................................... 2 1.

Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. 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 11th acquisition cycle (Quarter B) to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location and assessed value, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. 4 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC 2.

Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 2.2 Summary of Assessed Value and Property Cost Estimates The interest being appraised is fee simple "as is" for the purchase of the sites. Values of the parcels were estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. It 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 relies upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusion is limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. If the Board of County Commissioners chooses to acquire this property, appraisals by independent Real Estate Appraisers will be obtained at that time. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, two appraisals are required for the Dredge Management parcel, which has an initial valuation greater than $500,000; 2 independent Real Estate Appraisers will value the subject property and the average of the two appraisal reports will determine the actual value of the subject property.

The parcel is also designated as an Outstanding Florida Water Body within the Rookery Bay NERR designation boundary. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Estero and Peckish, frequently flooded soils are found on the Dredge Management parcel. These nearly level and very poorly drained soils are found in flooded tidal marshes. Under natural conditions, the water table fluctuates with tidal action and seasonal rainfall. It is at or near the surface for long periods. These soils are frequently flooded. 19 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 Miles Q Dredge Manage rnent Associates LLC Wellfield Protection Zones 1-YEAR 2-YEAR 5-YEAR - - _- 20-YEAR CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge - Priority 1- HIGHEST - Priority 2 - Priority 3 Priority 4 Priority 5 Q Priority 6 Figure 11 - CLIP Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones Cofer Cmmty 20 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 Miles Dredge Management Associates LLC Soil Type DURBIN AND WULFERT MUCKS, FREQUENTLY FLOODED ESTERO AND PECKISH SOILS, FREQUENTLY FLOODED URBAN LAND Figure 12 - Collier County Soil Survey CON - 11C'ATION 7LL" Ca er Couxty 21 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 Miles Dredge Management Associates LLC LIDAR Value High : 104.644 Low :-4.11745 Figure 13 LIDAR Elevation Mop CONUMATION LLIER Co er County 22 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC ; fn Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Date: November 2, 2022 WIF =�. r r i r f!

This preserve could provide a unique seasonal wet -walk hike experience to visitors by trimming a narrow, marked visitor path in the vegetation in the dry season and providing some deeper water crossings for connectivity. This parcel is similar in sweeping views and plant community makeup to the existing Shell Island Preserve and has the potential for improved accessibility opportunities given the location off Port Au Prince Rd. 3.2.2 Accessibility A seasonally flooded walking trail could be installed on this parcel, with parking available along Port Au Prince Rd. 3.2.3 Aesthetic/Cultural Enhancement The parcels are visible from both Collier Blvd. and Port Au Prince Rd. Additionally, the marsh provides scenic vistas for visitors. 24 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 3.3 Restoration and Management 3.3.1 Vegetation Management 3.3.1.1 Invasive Vegetation Invasive vegetation is primarily found along property boundary adjacent to roadside swales, old growth melaleuca is present on the site in areas impacted by the filling of a historic canal through the center of the property. Melaleuca impacts —15% of the property, however native ground cover such as sawgrass is present beneath the canopy indicating that the site could be effectively restored through an initial exotics treatment where old growth trees are dropped and treated, and any new growth is managed through regular maintenance sweeps. This restoration technique has been utilized at Conservation Collier Preserves such as Mcllvane Marsh and Shell Island Preserve and has proven effective at creating dramatic improvement to a site's exotic load as well as aesthetics. Brazilian pepper and ear leaf acacia are present along the property boundary intermixed within the mangrove/buttonwood habitat as well as the higher elevation pine flatwoods along the raised berm. Invasive exotic plant coverage observed during the site visit indicated that the bulk of removal to achieve site restoration could be accomplished through an initial exotics removal treatment with annual to bi-annual maintenance treatments occurring at a reduced cost. The exotics removal needed to restore this site can be accomplished utilizing ground crews and treat in place techniques, similar to what is utilized to maintain the Conservation Collier Shell Island Preserve. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire This parcel contains some fire dependent communities, but prescribed fire would be unlikely due to its location adjacent to Collier Blvd. and Port au Prince Mobile Homes. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security While not apparent during the site visit, research into historic aerials of the site show this parcel has been targeted by off -road vehicles and incurred significant damage to the native vegetation in the past. This photo from 2009 shows the historic access and ORV damage to the parcel during the dry season. 25 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Date: November 2, 2022 Figure 15 - Historic ATV impact from 2010 Aeriol It appears the main access point is the backyard of a residence on Salinas Drive along the eastern boundary of the property. Security could be enhanced, and illegal off -road vehicle traffic reduced or eliminated by installing a barrier or fence along the eastern boundary of the preserve preventing unwanted access via Salinas Drive. 3.3.3 Assistance Assistance from other agencies or organizations is not anticipated. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use This parcel is zoned RSF-3, which allows for 3 residential single-family units per acre.

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 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 advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on funding 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. Additional Funding Sources: There are no additional funding sources known at this time. 29 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC 7.

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. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Prioritv Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best -available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote -sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Fieure 10. Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Ma 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. 46 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Date: November 2, 2022 Figure 11: CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones High priorities indicate high potential for recharge to an underlying aquifer system (typically the Floridan aquifer but could be intermediate or surficial aquifers in some portions of the state). The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section. 47 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Dredge Management Associates, LLC Folio Numbers: 00742040001 Date: November 2, 2022 APPENDIX 2 — Magdalener Environmental Assessment Conservation Collier Initial Criteria Screening Report English Trust 1 a 0.5 hnilac Owner Name: John Edwin English Trust Size: 59.01 acres Folio Number: 00053560005 Staff Report Date: November 2, 2022 Total Score: 220/400 200 160 150 100 95 80 78 80 80 50 0 1 - Ecological 2 - Human Value 3 - Restoration 4 - Vulnerability Value and Management 0 Awarded Points 0 Possible Points Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 Table of Contents Tableof Contents......................................................................................................................................... 2 1.

Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. 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 11th acquisition cycle (Quarter B) to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location and assessed value, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. 4 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust 2.

A value of the parcel was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. It 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 relies upon information solely provided by program staff. The valuation conclusion is limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. If the Board of County Commissioners choose to acquire this property, an appraisal by an independent Real Estate Appraiser will be obtained at that time. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy, one appraisal is required for the English parcel, which has an initial valuation less than $500,000; 1 independent Real Estate Appraiser will value the subject property and that appraisal report will determine the actual value of the subject property. Table 3. Assessed & Estimated Value Property owner Address Acreage Assessed EstimatedValue* Value** John Edwin English Trust No address 59.01 $101,304 TBD * Assessed Value is obtained from the Property Appraiser's Website. The Assessed Value is based off the current use of the property. **The Estimated Market Value for the English parcel will be obtained from the Collier County Real Estate Services Department prior to CCLAAC ranking in December 2022. 2.2.1 Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. The parcel has a baseline zoning of A -MHO (Agricultural — Mobile Home Overlay), which allows for 1 unit per 5 acres. The parcel is also within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) with approximately 48 acres within a Flowway Stewardship Area (FSA) and the remainder in a 500 ft Buffer area. E Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 2.3 Initial Screening Criteria Satisfaction (Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10) Criteria 1: Native Habitats Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: 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 Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 1: Parcel contains Mixed Scrub Shrub Wetland, Mixed Wetland Hardwoods, and Cabbage Palm Hammock. Criteria 2: Human Social Values 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? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 2: This parcel is directly adjacent to the 2,512-acre Pepper Ranch Preserve and can be directly accessed from both Trafford Oaks Road and directly from the preserve along the southeastern boundary; however, Trafford Oaks Road is a private road with a security gate that would prohibit public access from that direction. Criteria 3: Water Resources 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? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 3: The parcel contains hydric soils and wetland vegetation communities. It holds water during the wet season. Acquisition of the parcel would protect the Corkscrew swamp and marsh complex and wetlands associated with Lake Trafford. The Corkscrew swamp and marsh complex provide recharge for the Lower Tamiami aquifer, a source of drinking water for many County and private wells east of County Road 951. 10 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Criteria 4: Biological and Ecological Value Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Date: November 2, 2022 Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? YES Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 4: The parcel is adjacent to Pepper Ranch Preserve. It can be assumed that the same important wildlife species documented on the preserve also utilize this property including the endangered Florida Panther, snail kite, wood stork, and black bear and multiple bird species. There is significant restoration potential for forested areas impacted by invasive exotic plants. Criteria 5: Enhancement of Current Conservation Lands Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? Yes Is this property within the boundary of another agency's acquisition project? Yes Statement for Satisfaction of Criteria 5: The parcel is adjacent to and would contribute to an important wildlife corridor through the adjacent Pepper Ranch Preserve and other state-owned conservation land. Preservation and restoration of this parcel would add to the conservation land buffer protecting the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW). This consists of over 60,000 acres of South Florida Water Management District lands. The CREW Marsh wetlands are also an ecological link and corridor into the Camp Keais Strand and other conservation lands to the south. The parcel is within the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed Florida Forever Project Area; however, Conservation Collier funds will not significantly increase the rank or funding priority of the parcel for Florida Forever, and the small size of the parcel makes it undesirable for the state to pursue it for acquisition. 11 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust 3. Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Date: November 2, 2022 The property is primarily Mixed Scrub Shrub Wetland, consisting of Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana) with scattered red maple (Acer rubrum) and pop ash (Fraxinus caroliniana), and little understory. It is mapped as marsh. Cabbage Palm Hammock is present in the middle of the property on the south side. The canopy in this area is primarily cabbage palm (Saba) palmetto) with some laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia). Midstory consists of myrsine (Myrsine cubana), shiny -leaf wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa), and red bay (Persea borbonia) with an occasional coral bean (Erythrina herbacea), wild lime (Zan thoxylum fagara), and dull -leaf wild coffee (Psychotria tenuifolia). Groundcover is primarily swamp fern (Telmatoblechnum serrulatum). Two distinct pockets of Mixed Wetland Hardwoods exist along the southeastern side of the parcel (mapped as Cypress/Tupelo and Cypress), as well as along the edges of the Mixed Scrub Shrub Wetland. The dominant canopy trees in the Mixed Wetland Hardwoods are red maple, pop ash, and an occasional cypress (Taxodium distichum). The midstory is relatively open with swamp fern and alligator flag (Thalia geniculata) in the groundcover. Other species observed include strangler fig (Ficus aurea), long strap fern (Campyloneurum phyllitidi), shoestring fern (Vittoria lineata), southern needleleaf (Tillandsia setacea), and Citrus sp. The overall condition of the plant communities within the property is good with an estimated exotic plant coverage of 10%. The dominant exotic noted is Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia) along the edges of Trafford Oaks Rd and Rosbough Way. Once inside the perimeter, Brazilian pepper is more scattered, and native plants dominate. Some Caesarweed (Urena lobata) and Peruvian primrosewillow (Ludwigia peruviana) are present, but not in large amounts. Table 4.

It can be assumed that the same important wildlife species documented on the adjacent Pepper Ranch also utilize these properties including the Everglades snail kite, wood stork, black bear and multiple bird species. Additionally, an American alligator was heard by County staff during the site visit, and a collared Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) was tracked on the property in 2019.

The parcel contains 100% wetlands, and it would provide habitat for wetland dependent species most of the year. A primary benefit to preserving the parcel in an undeveloped state would be additional protection of the Corkscrew swamp and marsh complex, and wetlands associated with Lake Trafford. The Corkscrew swamp and marsh complex provide recharge for the Lower Tamiami aquifer, a source of drinking water for many County and private wells east of County Road 951. Acquisition of this parcel would add to the protection of the quality of this water source by increasing the buffering of the Corkscrew slough from development and non -point source pollution. The property also provides natural flood protection. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Mapped soils include "Winder, Riviera, Limestone Substratum, and Chobee Soils, Depressional — a hydric, poorly drained soil that is associated with sloughs and cypress swamps - and "Riviera, Limestone Substratum — Copeland Fine Sand" - a hydric, very poorly drained soil that is associated with marshes. 19 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 1' 0 0.5 0 JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST Wellfield Protection Zones 1-YEAR 2-YEAR 5-YEAR _ _ = 20-YEAR CLIP4Aquifer Recharge Priority 1- HIGHEST Priority 2 Priority 3 Priority 4 Priority 5 G Priority 6 Figure 10 - CLIP Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones CON - 11C,ATION 7LL" Ca ev Couxty 20 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 0 0.5 JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST Soil Type l FT.

Preservation and restoration of these parcels would add to the conservation land buffer protecting the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW). This consists of over 60,000 acres of South Florida Water Management District lands. The CREW Marsh wetlands are also an ecological link and corridor into the Camp Keais Strand and other conservation lands to the south. sa-82 CORKSCREW RD F IMMOKAL`EE RD .42 r] J - CO - W — ❑ m G N ♦r �m — W z — w OIL WELL RD 11 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 - JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST - Conservation Collier Preserve Managed Conservation Areas Other Conservation Areas CC) N5r ATION CLLIER C�.O ev �ou72Ly -.` Figure 13 - Conservation Lands 23 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 3.2 Human Values 3.2.1 Recreation This parcel is adjacent to the 2,512-acre Pepper Ranch Preserve which provides multiple opportunities for passive public recreation. This parcel would increase the size of the Preserve. Fishing and passive recreation such as photography and wildlife viewing could be possible along the western boundary of the preserve if trails were installed within Pepper Ranch Preserve for access. 3.2.2 Accessibility The parcel can be accessed via Trafford Oaks Road, a private paved road. This road has a security gate that would limit public access but would allow access to the properties for management. The parcel can also be accessed directly from the Pepper Ranch Preserve along the southeastern boundary; however, an agricultural fence along the eastern boundary of Pepper Ranch Preserve would restrict public access. 3.2.3 Aesthetic/Cultural Enhancement The parcels are visible from Lake Trafford and provide views of mature red maple and pop ash. 3.3 Restoration and Management 3.3.1 Vegetation Management 3.3.1.1 Invasive Vegetation It appears that only approximately 10% of the property is covered with invasive vegetation — primarily Brazilian pepper with some scattered Caesarweed and Peruvian primrosewillow. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire The parcels do not contain fire dependent communities, therefore prescribed fire would not be recommended. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security No site security issues appear to exist within the parcels. 3.3.3 Assistance Staff does not anticipate management assistance from other agencies. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use The parcel has a baseline zoning of A -MHO (Agricultural — Mobile Home Overlay), which allows for 1 unit per 5 acres. The parcel is also within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) with approximately 48 acres within a Flowway Stewardship Area (FSA) and the remainder in a 500 ft Buffer area. 24 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 1 0 0.55 JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST Zoning General A-MHO-RLSAO A-M H 0- RLSAO-LTR-SSA-7 z� CONS-EiA,'AT I O N LLIER Coen County Figure 14 —Zoning 25 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust f ROSBOUGH WAY HUNTERS POINT RD [I] E- JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST RLSA Overlay 500 FT BUFFER FSA Figure 15 — RLSA Overlay Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Date: November 2, 2022 1114.7 CON ATION LLIER co err CoxHty Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 1 0 0.55 Q JOHN EDWIN ENGLISH TRUST Future Land Use Agricultural /Rural Mixed Use District/RLSA CON ATION LLIER OcAr C<,w"ty Figure 16 —Future Land Use 27 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Date: November 2, 2022 3.4.2 Development Plans The property is not currently planned for development. 4. Acquisition Considerations Staff would like to bring the following items to the attention of the Advisory Committee during the review of this property. The following items may not have significantly affected the scoring but are worth noting. Although airboats do traverse the western edge of the parcel, they remain within sovereign submerged lands and do not appear to encroach significantly into the parcel.

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 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. This property would not be a good candidate for FCT funding. Florida Forever Program: Although this parcel is within a Florida Forever Program boundary, because of its size, the State will not pursue its acquisition. Additional Funding Sources: There is potential for partnership with the CREW Land and Water Trust to facilitate acquisition. 29 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust 7.

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. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Prioritv Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best -available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote -sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Fieure 9 - Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Ma 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. 39 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: John Edwin English Trust Folio Numbers: 00053560005 Date: November 2, 2022 Figure 10 - CLIP4 Aquifer Recharge Priority and Wellfield Protection Zones High priorities indicate high potential for recharge to an underlying aquifer system (typically the Floridan aquifer but could be intermediate or surficial aquifers in some portions of the state). The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section. 40 CON E-- ION C�OLL1 ER r r dim For Present-d Future Generations co�se��ar�o�coioesom Conservation Collier Preserves Public Access and Amenities Report Draft presented to Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee 9-19-2022 Table of Contents Exhibit 1: Map of Conservation Collier Preserves..............................................................................2 Introduction.......................................................................................................................................3 1.

The report includes two main sections: (1) Preserves Open to the Public and (2) Preserves Closed to the Public. Section 1 includes existing amenities on o pen preserves and further amenities proposed. Section 2 provides for existing preserves where public access would be compatible and proposed amenities that would facilitate the openingof public access. For more detailed information regarding preserve location and management, visit www.conservationcollier.com. Attachment 1, Preserve Amenities Spreadsheet includes all proposed amenities that have been reviewed by the Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee of the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee in 2021. All amenities listed on the spreadsheet are for purposes of long-term planning on the preserves. Amenities listed as Priority 1 are those to be proposed on the 5-year Capital Plan. Amenities listed as Priority 2 and 3 are proposed foreven more long-term planningand afterthe 10- year acquisition phase (2021-2031) is complete. As Conservation Collier approaches the end of the acquisition phase, the strategic planning for unaddressed largercapital projects such as boardwalks and restrooms will be evaluated based upon the preserves acquired.

Site Description: This 367.7-acre preserve is critical habitat for the endangered Florida panther. Undeveloped before the 1950s, the property was historically composed of pine flatwoods dotted with freshwater marshes. From the 1950s through the 1970s, portions of the property were cleared for agriculture; furrows used in row crop cultivation can still be seen within cleared areas. The dominant vegetation type on the preserve is prairie/pasture. Formerly agricultural fields, pastures have been improved with Bahia grass for cattle foraging butthey also contain many native grasses and forbs. Pastures also provide habitat for native species including the sandhill crane, crested caracara, and gopher tortoise. Depressional marshes are the second most extensive vegetation community at the preserve; these circular wetlands dot the landscape and can be easily identified on an aerial map. Flooded for most of the year, these marshes provide water and foraging habitat for wildlife year-round, except in times of severe drought. Many wetland -dependent bird species depend on the marshes to survive, including protected species like woodstork, limpkin, and snowy egret. Alligators are also commonly found within the marshes. Mesic pine flatwoods cover the re mainder of the preserve and provide habitat for the endangered Florida panther and its primary prey species, white tailed deer. Also present are the Florida black bear and invasive wild hogs. Public Amenities: This preserve offers a 2.5-mile loop hikingtrail, which connects with the adjoining CREW Cypress Dome Trails, and begins approximately 1 mile from the CREW Cypress Dome Trails parking area off Corkscrew Road. Currently, there is not direct access to the Caracara Prairie Preserve hiking trail. Recreational hunting opportunities are available at Caracara Prairie Preserve and managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) CREW Wildlife Environmental Area (CREW WEA). Proposed Amenities: After acquisition of the 5-acre parcel north of the preserve, install a bridge/trail from existing CREW parking lot to connect directly with the existing Caracara Preserve trail system. 7 Caracara Prairie Preserve Preserve Trails Preserve Boundary COf%kWAr ioN LLIER Co ev Couxty Cocohatchee Creek Preserve Click here for the Cocohatchee Creek Preserve website. Site Description: This 3.64-acre preserve was acquired because it contains one of the rare and unique vegetation communities the Conservation Collier Program seeks to protect - riverine oak - in addition to pine flatwood, oak scrub, and wetland dependentplant communities.The preserve is also home to several gopher tortoises, a species of special concern in the State of Florida. Prickly pear cactus, a food source for gopher tortoise, grows in the oak scrub area where a resident gopher tortoise can sometimes be seen browsing. Along the creek, leather ferns and swamp lilies grow among the sawgrass and sedges, where wetland dependent bird species forage. Acquisition of the preserve also protects lands that buffer the creek, which flows south, contributing ultimately to the Gordon River and Naples Bay watershed. Much of the creek watershed is already protected south of the Preserve; acquisition of this parcel increased existing protection. Public Amenities: Adjacent parking is located at the Veteran's Community Park, a short walk from the Preserve. Restroom and handicapped parking facilities are available at Veteran's Park. A shell trail winds approximately 700 feetthrough the Preserve taking visitors to a picnic area undershady oaks that line the Cocohatchee Creek. The portion of the trail leading to the picnic area is wheelchair accessible from the sidewalk along the east side of Veteran's Park Drive. Proposed Amenities: No further amenities are proposed at this time. However, the trail will need to be resurfaced within the next 5 years and the creek platform will eventually need repair. 9 0 0.175 Miles Cocohatchee Creek Preserve Preserve Trails Preserve Boundary AJp�re*: CO BY c ..ty 0.35 cowifIVATION cr LLIER 10 Dr. Robert H.

The 26,000-acre Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge provides contiguous habitat along the eastern boundary of the preserve, while to the south, the 78,000-acre Picayune Strand State Forest and 85,000- acre Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park provide opportunities forwildlife utilizingthe Gore Preserve to disperse throughout a contiguous network of conservation lands, via the wildlife underpasses beneath Interstate 75. As a result of this close network of managed wildlife habitat, the Gore Preserve lands record significant and consistent observationsof large, long ranging wild life species like the federally endangered Florida panther and Florida black bear. Public Amenities: Passive, nature -based recreational opportunities are available at the Gore Preserve in the form of hiking, biking, wildlife photography, guided hikes, birdwatching, and leashed dog walking. Currently, the preserve provides a 2-mile trail forvisitors that is one way in, one way out. Proposed Amenities: It may be desirable to add a second trail connection to the Gore Nature Education Center along the eastern portion of the property to greater facilitate a loop path for educational events and guided hikes. Also included in the conceptual plans is a parking area for visitors to the preserve. Currently, there are conceptual and alternate parking lot locations which will be finalized depending on future acquisitions. Future goals would be to install a 5-10 space parking area with access across the road right of way. The parking area would be surrounded by wildlife friendly fencing with trail access points and bollards. If a buffer is required, native vegetation will be planted that does not require additional irrigation. Also included in the conceptual trail enhancements are separate trail entrances for land management and emergency response vehicles that will be locked and gated and will allow for the construction of trailhead entrances for public visitors that facilitate access for hiking and biking but prevent access by off -road vehicles. A —500' boardwalk to the cypress dome on the SW corner of the property has been proposed for educational programs and ADA access.

Site Description: The eastern 12.5 acres of the 50-acre property, owned by Conservation Collier, is comprised of natural wetlands. Upon purchase, the existing vegetation included towering cypress, pond apple, and mangroves, but it was heavily choked with invasive exotic plants, primarily Brazilian pepper and shoebutton ardisia. The restoration of this area served as mitigation for alterations that took place elsewhere on the property. The invasive exotic plant species were removed, and the wetland area was restored with native plants, including the flowering pickerel weed, swamp lily, sagittaria and canna lily that can be seen from the boardwalk. Native plants are identified by plaques posted along the boardwalk railing. Many of the plants are food and larval host plants forcolorful native butterflies. Native wildlife is also regularly spotted by visitors along the boardwalk. Frequent wildlife sightings include red shouldered hawks, a barred owl, pileated woodpeckers, green herons, great blue herons, little blue herons, great white herons, raccoons, gray squirrels, marsh rabbits, river otter, armadillos, alligators, turtles, snakes, and frogs. Public Amenities: There is vehicle access to the Park from both sides of Golden Gate Parkway with free public parking. Public restrooms are in the 2,500 square feet Exhibition Hall. A 3,500-foot boardwalk extends over the eastern side of the park and the portion belonging to Conservation Collier.

Native plant communities within the preserve include mangrove swamp, scrubby flatwoods, hardwood/coniferous/palm mixed, and mixed wetland hardwoods. The preserve isone part of the larger "Gordon RiverGreenwayProject,"which will be a 2-mile ecological and trail corridor centrally located within the Naples -Collier urban area. The Gordon River Greenway Preserve and the Gordon River Greenway Park, directlyto the north, are being designed, permitted,and constructed together as one County project. Public amenity features along the boardwalk will be consistent throughout the entire project. Certain aspects of the trail system, such as trail width, security lighting, and hours of operation will be determined by County officials, with input from the Conservation Collier Program, to ensure public safety and consistency throughout the project area. Public Amenities: Currently, there is over one mile of boardwalk and asphalt trail through the Conservation Collier boundary of the Greenway and has restroom and water fountain access. The boardwalk trail features a fishing pier for anglers and several rest/shade structures. Proposed Amenities: Boardwalk maintenance in the larger "Gordon River Greenway Project" has been scheduled, along with adding lighting along the unlit portion of the greenway. Interpretive and wayfinding signage has been recently installed throughout the trail system. 15 Ar 0 � � "low River Reach Logan Woods Preserve Click here for the Logan Woods Preserve website. Site Description: Before the lands around this 6.8-acre property were developed, they were part of a shallow seasonal slough, that carried surface water south and west during the rainy season and was dry the rest of the year. The vegetation community that existed at that time was cypress -pine -cabbage palm. When the surrounding lands were developed, they were filled and raised. As a result, this parcel accepted much of the area runoff and waters became ponded in the rainy season. This permanently changed the conditions of the vegetation community. Additionally, melaleuca and Brazilian pepper invaded and crowded out much of the existing native plants. With the exotics now removed, native understory and groundcover plant species have begun to regrow from seeds that had laid dormant for many years in the top layers of soil. Ferns now carpet the ground where the melaleuca grew thickly and pine seedlings, once deprived of the light they needed to grow, have begun to spring up. While the site will not return to its pre -development conditions due to the permanently changed hydrology, many of the native plants are reappearing. Visitors can see a wide variety of native upland and wetland plants at this small urban preserve. Raccoons, armadillo and many species of urban birds are also commonly seen here. Public Amenities: This preserve is accessible to the walking and biking public from both Logan Blvd and Pine Ridge Road. There is no public parking available. A 620 ft. trail extendsfrom Logan Blvd., where the preserve sign and bike rack are located, through the preserve to Pine Ridge Road.A picnictable and bench are located halfway through to provide walkers with resting spots within the preserve.

Immokalee fine sand underlies this part of the preserve. Common mesic pine flatwood species such as saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), and gallberry (Ilex glabra) are found in this portion of the preserve. Mesicflatwoods provide essential forested habitatfora variety of wildlife species including Neotropical migratory birds, wide-ranging large carnivores, mid -sized carnivores, ground -nesting vertebrates, tree -cavity dependent species, tree -nesting species and non -aquatic plant life. A freshwater marsh comprises approximately 22% of the preserve and is located primarily in the eastern, center portion. Freshwater marshes are often scattered among pine flatwoods communities and may therefore be referred to as flatwoods marshes. Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense), swamp lily (Crinum americanum), giant leather fern (Acrostichum danaeifolium), and native wetland grasses are found in freshwater marshes. Many animal species may be found within or around the perimeter of marshes. Invertebrates make up an important part of the food web and many avian species, especially wading birds, rely on the invertebrates as a primary food source. The freshwater marsh within the preserve makes up a small portion of the total area but is invaluable for the suite of species that may be found there.

Site Description: The Railhead Scrub Preserve is an approximately 135-acre natural area located in the northwest cornerof Collier County. This preserve is representative of several of the typical habitat types found in Collier County including seasonally flooded cypress, hydric flatwoods, pine flatwoods, and xeric oak scrub. This last habitat type is rapidly disappearing in Collier County due to its higher elevation and well drained soils, which make it ideal for development. For this reason, xeric oak scrub is a priority habitat for preservation in the Conservation Collier Program. This preserve contains one of the last few significant sized (approx. 50 acres) areas of xeric oak scrub in Collier County. Additionally, four hundred and nine (409) species of plants have been identified on the preserve site, including ten (10) species protected by the State of Florida. The unique soils and scrub habitat found at Railhead Scrub Preserve are some of the last remaining remnants of this once widespread land cover found throughout Collier County. Many species of wildlife have been recorded on the preserve. Twenty-seven species of birds have been documented, including those that are wetland dependent, migratory, and protected. A resident red-tailed hawk is often seen circling and calling in the scrub area and nearby nesting bald eagles can be heard calling from the flatwoods on the edge of the preserve. White-tailed deer are routinely spotted along with Florida black bear, bobcat, raccoon, marsh rabbit, and armadillo. The preserve also provides habitatto a significant and dense population of Florida gopher tortoise, a threatened species protected by the State of Florida. Public Amenities: Currently, there is not public access to this preserve, and it is considered a resource protection/restoration area. Proposed Amenities: The Veterans Memorial road extension will bisect the preserve and after it is built, public access will follow.

Site Description: Winchester Head is one of two multi -parcel projects undertaken by the Conservation Collier Program. The Winchester Head Project boundary encompasses 114 parcels totaling 157.53 acres. As of September 2020, 67 parcels or 94.5 acres (58%) have been acquired by Conservation Collier in a checkerboard fashion throughout the project area. Winchester Head is comprised of Mixed Wetland Hardwoods, Cypress, Pine, Cabbage Palm, and Freshwater Marsh. Compared to the 18-24 feet elevations of the lands surrounding Winchester Head, the natural depression of this cypress area, which sits at 15- 17 feet below sea level, combined with the presence of hydric, poorly drained soils allows for water to collect and slowly percolate into the ground. Thus, Winchester Head is ideal fo r obligate and facultative wetland plant and animal species. Evidence onsite and data from the Southwest Florida Amphibian Monitoring Network 1 indicate that Winchester Head is used by wetland dependent species. Although it contributes only minimally to aquifer recharge, the area is a depressional feature in the landscape that holds water during the rainy season, enhancing water quality and offering flood protection to adjacent lands. Public Amenities: Currently, there is not public access to this preserve, and it is considered a resource protection/restoration area.
