Agenda 12/13/2022 Item #11A (Cycle 11A Conservation Collier Active Acquistion List)12/13/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the Cycle 11A Conservation Collier Active Acquisition List (AAL), approve the revised Acquisition Cycle Ranking Schedule, and direct staff to pursue projects recommended within the A - Category in sequential order, funded by Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund (172). OBJECTIVE: To obtain Collier County Board of County Commissioners' (Board) approval to pursue Cycle 11A project acquisitions and to revise acquisition cycle rankings from quarterly to bi-annually. CONSIDERATION: On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Reestablishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. Pursuant to Section 11 of Conservation Collier Ordinance No. 2002-63, as amended the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) recommends qualified acquisition proposals for the Active Acquisition List (AAL) to the Board for approval. On August 3, 2022, the CCLAAC selected qualified acquisition proposals for inclusion on the AAL. The AAL includes the staff and CCLAAC recommendations (Attachment 1). The map provided as backup shows the location of all proposed Cycle 11A properties along with currently owned Conservation Collier properties (Attachment 2). The proposed AAL has been separated into three (3) categories, A, B, and C as required by Conservation Collier Ordinance (No. 2002-63, as amended) Section 11 which states: The Active Acquisition List shall separate proposals into three (3) categories, A (pursue acquisition), B (hold for re-ranking in the next cycle), and C (no interest in acquiring). The A-category parcels/projects shall be further categorized as 1 (high priority), 2 (medium priority), and 3 (low priority), in order to give County staff direction as to priority for acquisition tasks. On July 12, 2022, the Board authorized staff to acquire properties on a quarterly basis, rather than an annual basis, in order to expedite the acquisition process (Agenda Item #16D1); however, this expedited schedule has proven challenging to efficiently execute. Thus, staff recommends the Board approves a truncated acquisition ranking schedule for Cycle 11 and a bi-annual acquisition ranking schedule for Cycle 12 and all subsequent Acquisition Cycles (see Attachment 8 - Acquisition Cycle Ranking Schedule). Since the first quarter (Cycle 11A) deadline on June 21, 2022, staff has received eleven (11) additional applications as part of Cycle 11B, which will be ranked by the Board proposed for January 2023. The Cycle 11B applications total over 7,700 acres (see Attachment 9 - Cycle 11B Property Applications). Staff recommends the Board utilizes the B-list category when uncertain whether to pursue a property in Cycle 11A, since all B-list properties will be re- ranked in Cycle 11B. Staff prepared and presented property reports, called Initial Criteria Screening Reports (ICSR), to aid the CCLAAC in their evaluation of each property. Included in each ICSR was a scoring matrix, based on researched and observed data. The ICSRs have been posted on the Conservation Collier website: <https://www.colliercountyfl.gov/government/public-services/divisions/conservation-collier/acquisition> At the August 3, 2022, CCLAAC meeting, property ranking occurred after staff presented summaries of all properties and public comments. One (1) property contains notable issues that should be brought to the Board’s attention. This property is a B- category property from Cycle 10 that is being re-ranked in Cycle 11A: Sanitation & Bethune Road parcels - Barron Collier Partnership LLLP (B-category from Cycle 10) CCLAAC recommend this property for the B-List to be considered in the next acquisition cycle. Staff is recommending against this purchase. Public speakers and the Committee discussion during Cycle 10 included concerns about potential contamination from the landfill and adjacent Immokalee Water & Sewer Spray fields. 11.A Packet Pg. 254 12/13/2022 During Acquisition Cycle 9 in 2018, an environmental consultant performed a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and found two (2) Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC) on the subject property including localized household debris dumped on the edges and debris in the slough. Additionally, in January 2022 Collier County was provided with information from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been detected on the site in the area of the Immokalee Slough. The three locations sampled by FDEP within and surrounding the Bethune property yielded detections of PFAS compounds exceeding the 2022 EPA HA limits. If there is a desire to proceed with considering the purchase of this property a Phase 2 environmental study will be required. This study may have costs in excess of $50,000. The property owner removed the landfill from the application in November 2021. The adjacent historic 16-acre Eustis Landfill was opened in 1947 and closed in 1992. The County operated the landfill from 1980-1985 under a lease agreement with the current property owner. It closed in 1992, with twenty (20) years of required permit monitoring finally completed in 2012. Although the Eustis landfill met state closure requirements, the list of analytes monitored did not include pesticides, especially legacy pesticides such as Chlordane and DDT, that were commonly used before they were banned. Groundwater samples obtained from Immokalee Water and Sewer failed to provide indications of contamination, but they were downgradient and therefore in the wrong location for detecting contamination. Samples taken from the middle of the landfill in 2012 showed that the site met permit requirements. If there is a desire to proceed with considering the purchase of this property further groundwater and/or soil testing is recommended outside of the landfill. Immokalee Water and Sewer District (IWSD) does have concerns regarding the security of wells and ponds on the adjacent parcel accessed through the Barron Collier property at the south end of Sanitation Road. Therefore, staff has agreed that if the Program acquires the property, staff will coordinate with the IWSD to ensure the security of these areas. Since the last review of this property occurred in 2018, pine has been selectively logged from within the Pine Flatwoods area of the Sanitation property “parcel a” The owner advised they plan to treat the exotics that came in after the logging and clean up debris and/or rutting in the staging areas resulting from the logging effort. These areas will most likely need to be restored and have shown to already be more susceptible to exotic vegetation due to the disturbance. Parcel b. has considerable ongoing dumping on the property. Ongoing waste removal will be an additional cost. Here are summaries of the other properties on the Active Acquisition List which do not have specific issues of concern at this time, but warrant providing additional information: H C & J S Adams Trust This 4.34-acre parcel is recommended for the B-category by CCLAAC and staff as it is difficult to access and not likely to be developed; however, one public speaker was in favor of its acquisition because it is located within the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) Florida Forever Acquisition boundary. The property is located within the potential CR 951 Extension Project that was identified in the Colli er Metropolitan Planning Organization’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan. Currently, the property is not within the alignment area, but this could change in the future. If this property is approved for the A-List, staff will take this information into consideration when planning amenities and public access on the site. Additionally, language will be memorialized in the Purchase Agreement and related closing documents to ensure Collier County Transportation will be able to purchase a portion of the property from Conservation Collier for future right-of-way, if and when needed, at the original per-acre acquisition cost. Caracara Prairie Preserve Project - Starnes Staff and the CCLAAC recommend this property for the A-list. This 4.54-acre parcel is north of and immediately adjacent to the existing Conservation Collier Caracara Prairie Preserve. The acquisition would potentially provide closer access to the CREW parking lot for visitors to Caracara Prairie Preserve by making a potential pedestrian bridge connection from the parking lot to the larger preserve possible. CREW Land & Water Trust, a non-profit 11.A Packet Pg. 255 12/13/2022 conservation organization dedicated to the preservation and stewardship of the water resources and natural communities in and around the CREW, supports the acquisition of the Starnes parcel and has committed to contributing $10,000 towards its purchase. This property is in an area where roadway shoulder expansion may occur in the near future, and there is potential for Lee County to widen Corkscrew Road from 2 lanes to 4 lanes in the future. If this property is approved for the A-List, staff will take this information into consideration when planning amenities and public access on the site. Additionally, language will be memorialized in the Purchase Agreement and related closing documents to ensure Collier County Transportation will be able to purchase a portion of the property from Conservation Collier for future right-of-way, if and when needed, at the original per-acre acquisition cost. Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve Project (4 owners) Staff and the CCLAAC recommend these properties for the A-list. These four (4) parcels are located off Desoto Blvd. just north of I-75 in Golden Gate Estates. The addition of the four (4) parcels in the application would expand the existing 170-acre preserve by 5.72 acres. There is potential for an I-75 Interchange in this area, and the Perez parcel property is in an area where a roadway expansion may be needed in the near future. 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. HHH Ranch - Section 33 (4 owners) Staff and the CCLAAC recommend these properties for the A-list. These four (4) parcels totaling 26.5 acres are located within the same Section 33 where the 256-acre HHH Ranch property is being offered to Conservation Collier as part of Cycle 10; the purchase agreement is scheduled to be heard by the Board at an upcoming regularly scheduled meeting. The map in the property summary illustrates where the four (4) parcels are in relation to the 256-acre HHH Ranch property. 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 Agree ments 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. Marco Island Parcels (5 owners) Staff and the CCLAAC recommend these properties for the A-list. There are five (5) properties in different locations within the southeast portion of Marco Island. One of these properties, Agua Colina was on the B-category list from Cycle 10 and is now recommended by staff and CCLAAC for the A-category for Cycle 11. The 2.13-acre Annecy/Barfield property includes four (4) parcels zoned C-3 Commercial Intermediate and contains an active eagle nest, a very large gopher tortoise population (estimated 109 tortoises), and several burrowing owls despite very little native plant cover. Native plant restoration costs will be high. Commercial lots are highly desirable on Marco Island and therefore this property has an estimated value of $2,783,00 0, which is significantly higher than similar non-waterfront residential parcels. The 0.53-acre Chestnut parcel contains active gopher tortoise burrows and two Conservation Collier priority plant communities - coastal strand and maritime hammock. Very little restoration and management are necessary within the parcel as the plant communities are intact. The 0.5-acre S&B Properties parcel contains many active gopher tortoise burrows surrounded by developed single- family lots. 11.A Packet Pg. 256 12/13/2022 The 0.56-acre South Terra Corp property is adjacent to the Cycle 10 B-category Agua Colina parcel, which is now recommended for A-category. Both properties are waterfront and therefore have a considerably higher estimated value than non-waterfront properties. Both properties have a gopher tortoise population and are within a known archaeological site. The South Terra Corp estimated value of $1,975,000 is higher than the Agua Colina property's appraised value of $1,515,000 due to the larger water frontage. Also, there are known burial grounds on the Agua Colina property. Because of its proximity to Agua Colina, there is the potential for burials on the South Terra Corp parcel; however, an archaeological dig has not been conducted on the property. Several public speakers made comments in favor of acquiring the Marco Island properties during CCLAAC meetings where the properties were discussed. Leading up to the July 7, 2022, CCLAAC meeting staff received twenty-five (25) emails and seven (7) phone calls in support of the Annecy/Barfield properties (Attachment 5). Marco Island City Councilman Rich Blonna attended many meetings and has offered a partnership opportunity to assist with signage and pathway connections. The City of Marco Island has also offered to assist in providing off - street parking on pervious materials and the installation of signage consistent with the City’s Land Development Codes. Letters of support from the Marco Island City Council for the South Terra Corp and Annecy/Barfield properties are also provided (Attachment 6). The preservation of parcels on Marco Island would primarily be for resource protection as the parcels are too small and environmentally sensitive to install trails. The parcels could be viewed from the roadway. Northern Golden Gate Estates Scrub - Dombrowiski This 1.14-acre parcel is recommended for the B-category by CCLAAC and staff as this was the only application received in this Target Mailing Area. The property would be more desirable in the future if more parcels within this Area apply. Panther Walk Preserve Project (5 owners) Staff and the CCLAAC recommend these properties for the A-list. These five (5) parcels totaling 6.2 acres are within the Horsepen Strand. Some of the parcels are adjacent to the existing Panther Walk Preserve. Collier Count y Stormwater Management has expressed that this is an important area for preservation to provide natural water storage. Staff is in the process of acquiring several parcels over 30 acres and counting that were approved in Cycle 10. The Berman parcel property is in an area where a roadway expansion may be needed in the near future. If this property is approved for the A-List, staff will take this information into consideration when planning amenities and public access on the site. Additionally, language will be memorialized in the Purchase Agreement and related closing documents to ensure Collier County Transportation will be able to purchase a portion of the property from Conservation Collier for future right-of-way, if and when needed, at the original per-acre acquisition cost. Multi-parcel projects Staff and the CCLAAC recommend the Red Maple Swamp (North Golden Gate Estates Unit 53) and Winchester Head projects remain as A-List acquisition areas. Staff continues to acquire parcels in these areas. Addit ionally, these areas are identified in LDC section 3.05.07.H.1. to satisfy on-site preservation requirements off-site. In FY20 and FY21, off-site preserve donation funds were used to acquire parcels in these areas. In anticipation of funding in FY22, appraisals were obtained, and letters were sent to property owners in August and September of 2021. Within Red Maple Swamp, 236.26 acres have been acquired and 69.4 acres remain to be acquired. Within Winchester Head, 94.7 acres have been acquired, 2.28 acres are in the process of acquisition in FY22, and 61 acres remain to be acquired. Preserve expansion parcels Staff and the CCLAAC recommend the Panther Walk Preserve (North Golden Gate Estates Unit 42) and Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve (North Golden Gate Estates Units 91 and 92) expansion parcels remain as A-list properties and staff continues to acquire these parcels. The preserve expansion parcels identify specific parcels immediately adjacent to the existing Panther Walk and Dr. Robert H. Gore III Prese rves. If the specific parcels shown on the 11.A Packet Pg. 257 12/13/2022 Preserve expansion maps (Attachment 3) come available for sale and there is a remaining budget after A -list properties are acquired, then offers can be made on these parcels. The Preserve expansion parcel concept started during Cycle 10 and has been a good tool to acquire properties in these two (2) areas at an accelerated pace. Properties in the Preserve expansion areas are pre -approved as A- category which allows staff to obtain appraisals and move forward on ac quiring properties. Only parcels shown on Preserve expansion maps (Attachment 3) qualify. There is potential for roadway expansion within areas surrounding both the Panther Walk and the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserves. 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. ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: On August 3, 2022, the CCLAAC met in a public meeting and selected qualified acquisition proposals for Board consideration. CCLAAC recommends twenty (20) properties comprised of 47.75 acres, plus multi-parcel properties, for a total of 332 acres for the “A” list category in Cycle 11A. The acquisition cost for properties not within multi-parcel projects or preserve expansion areas is $7,800,500; the total projected acquisition cost for all A-list category CCLAAC recommended properties is $14,028,868. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff agrees with the AAL ranked by the CCLAAC (Attachment 1) except for the Sanitation & Bethune Road parcels. FISCAL IMPACT: The total estimated cost of all properties under consideration in Cycle 11A is $14,028,868; this includes the entirety of the multi-parcel projects and preserve expansion areas. Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund (172) adopted FY23 budget for land acquisition is $33,219,600 and includes $20,576,100 in new funding along with a carryforward of FY22 funding in the amount of $12,643,500. After the purchase of the outstanding Acquisition Cycle 10 properties remaining FY23 funding for land acquisition is estimated to be approximately $27 million. Additionally, CREW Land & Water Trust has committed to contributing $10,000 for the Starnes parcel, should it be acquired. Assuming availa ble cash is expended for the acquisition of properties, it is estimated, based on current FY22 revenues, that approximately $20 million would be available annually for land acquisition through FY31 if Cycles are completed sequentially. Approval of the attached AAL and direction to actively pursue the Cycle 11A CCLAAC recommended A-category projects will result in estimated acquisition costs (appraisals, title commitments, and surveys) of $78,000. Operating funds are available within the proposed FY23 Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund (172) budget for this expense. Funding for the management of any lands acquired by the program is budgeted in a separate Conservation Collier Land Management Fund (174), which is funded via a transfer of 25% of the net Conservation Collier ad valorem tax levy. 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: The Conservation Collier Ordinance (No. 2002-63, as amended), in Section 11, provides a legal framework for the development of the Active Acquisition List. The recommendation to acquire A- List properties on the Active Acquisition List falls within this legal framework. As such, this item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board action. -SAA RECOMMENDATION: To approve Cycle 11A Conservation Collier Active Acquisition List (AAL), approve the 11.A Packet Pg. 258 12/13/2022 revised Acquisition Cycle Ranking Schedule, and direct staff to pursue projects recommended within the A- Category in sequential order spending no more than $20.5 million within Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund (172).

Exotic Vegetation Removal and Restoration: The current owner has requested to perform the restoration including exotic vegetation removal after the sale to Conservation Collier to obtain the R2 Restoration Credits. Timeframe in which these activities are to take place is still to be determined. 2. Property Survey: The owner is offering parcels which include portions that are not legally segregated at present. The map of the project location is conceptual in nature. Therefore, staff has been advised by the Collier County Real Estate section to request that a Boundary Survey (signed & sealed) performed by a Professional Surveyor and Mapper be provided by the seller to depict the exact boundary of the property being offered to Conservation Collier. 3. Oil, Gas, Mineral Rights: Sale does not include OGMs. If the Board of County Commissioners desires a surface waiver, the Collier entities are willing to provide a surface waiver for 6% of the purchase price for their interest. 109 61 57 0 160 80 80 80 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 1 - Ecological Value 2 - Human Value 3 - Restoration and Management 4 - Vulnerability Total Score: 227/400 Awarded Points Possible Points 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 297 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Big Hammock Area II Cycle 11A 4. Stewardship Sending Area: The Advisory Committee and Board of County Commissioners should take into consideration that Area II is within SSA #13 with credits in escrow. Therefore, as part of the existing SSA Agreement, Area II would be protected from development and will be restored to obtain credits to entitle development elsewhere within the RLSA. The remaining uses on the property include: Agricultural Group 2 (unimproved pasture, grazing, livestock raising, etc); Conservation, Restoration, & Natural Resources. BCP would be required to maintain the SSA 13 restoration areas in perpetuity in accordance with the SSA Agreement. Information regarding SSA #13 (from Initial Criteria Screening Report presented to CCLAAC July 2021): The project achieved no points for vulnerability because its zoning classification favors conservation under the existing Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) Credit Agreement (Resolution 2009-302). The owner has voluntarily requested the land be designated as an SSA (#13). The owner will retain the Stewardship Credits (in escrow) and offer only surface rights to Conservation Collier, retaining the oil, gas, and mineral rights. The SSA agreement will remove the following six (6) Land Use Layers in order: Residential, General Conditional Uses, Earth Mining & Processing, Recreational, Agricultural Group 1, and Agricultural Support (see Exhibit T in ICSR.) The 730-acre portion of the SSA being offered to Conservation Collier equates to approximately 10% of the 7,417-acre SSA #13. The current owner has banked (placed in escrow) the Base Credits, Early Entry Credits, and R1 Restoration Credits in the amount of 20,916.1. The escrow includes the following credits for the entirety of SSA #13: Base Credits (12,999.3) Early Entry Credits (1,317.6) and R1 (restoration) Credits (6,599.2). At 8 Credits per acre, credits from the 730-acre portion of the SSA would entitle approximately 261 acres of future development. Additional R2 Restoration Credits (6,599.2) would be approved upon successful completion of the proposed restoration plan. The applicant has requested to perform the restoration including exotic vegetation removal on the property after the sale to Conservation Collier to obtain the R2 Restoration Credits. 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 298 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Big Hammock Area II Cycle 11A 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 299 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Big Hammock Area II Cycle 11A 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 300 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Big Hammock Area II Cycle 11A 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 301 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Cycle 11A Barron Collier Partnership LLLP – Sanitation and Bethune Rd Properties 1 Property Name: Sanitation & Bethune Rd Parcels Owner: Barron Collier Partnership LLLP Target Protection Area: Urban Acreage: 370 acres total; Parcel a. – 258 acres; Parcel b. – 112 acres (2 parcels offered as package) Estimated Market Value: $3,900,000 This is a Cycle 10 Board “B” ranked property Highlights: • Location: Located within the boundaries of the town of Immokalee on the southwest side west of the Casino along Bethune Road and Sanitation Road. • How many of the 6 Initial Screening Criteria were met: 5 out of 6 criteria met – Native habitat, Human Social Values, Water resource Values, Significant Biological Values, Enhance Current Environmental Lands. • Habitat: 7 distinct native habitats mapped – 6 directly observed.

Known wood stork colonies are close and properties are within foraging area. Within FWC primary panther habitat zone. • Water Resource Values: Properties approx. half wetland and half upland, includes Immokalee slough. Wetland dependent wildlife (birds, apple snails, crawfish) and plants noted. Likely is taking flood waters from surrounding developed residential lands. Surficial aquifer recharge area. Wellfield protection zone. • Connectivity: Connects westward through Immokalee slough with Pepper Ranch and 60,000 acres CREW lands and SSA lands. Landscape connection east to Okaloacoochee Slough & other major conservation lands. • Other Division interest (see report for details): Stormwater Management, Immokalee Water & Sewer, Transportation Right of Way, 15-foot wide cable easement • Access: There is access from public paved Immokalee Road, Bethune Road and South 5th St. • Management & Initial Estimated Costs: Initial exotics control est. at $240,000 plus parking $50,000, fencing/gates $88,400, Trails $5,000 & signs $4,000.

It was in operation before current hazardous waste disposal regulations were in place; is unlined; and likely has direct contact with the aquifer. The County operated the landfill from 1980-1985 under a lease agreement with the current property owner. It closed in 1992, with 20 years of required permit monitoring finally completed in 2012. Although the Eustis landfill met state closure requirements, the list of analytes monitored didn’t include pesticides, especially legacy pesticides such as Chlordane and DDT, that were commonly used before they were banned. In addition, the well sampled for the final closure requirements may not have been representative as it may not have been downgradient of the groundwater flow which is known to fluctuate. Groundwater samples obtained from Immokalee Water and Sewer failed to provide indications of contamination because they were downgradient and therefore in the wrong location. Samples taken from the middle of the landfill in 2012 showed that the site met permit requirements. Therefore, further testing may be completed outside of the landfill within the area being offered for sale prior to any potential acquisition of the property. Such testing could include groundwater and/or soil testing; a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is being sought from a contracted third-party environmental consultant to determine required due diligence. Please note: The property owner has offered to remove the landfill and a 50-foot buffer from the sale. o Access: There is access at Sanitation Road, however, there has been a security concern expressed by Immokalee Water and Sewer regarding public use of this lime rock road as it leads to sensitive areas. Additionally, the Immokalee Water and Sewer indicated they have an access easement over Sanitation Road and would need to continue to have this as it is their only access to section 8, where their spray fields are located. An access point off of South 9th Street would be the only access point for visitors to access parcel a. Therefore, access to the south part of parcel a. would necessitate a boardwalk through the slough to take visitors to the southern end of the parcel. o Restoration: The Pine flatwoods area has been selectively logged of pine on the Sanitation property “parcel a” since last review of this property occurred in 2018. The owner advised they plan to treat exotics that have come in as a result of the logging and clean up debris and/or rutting in the staging areas resulting from the logging effort. These areas will most likely need to be restored and have shown to already be more susceptible to exotic vegetation due to the disturbance. o Dumping: Parcel b. has considerable ongoing dumping on the property. This will be an additional cost to have ongoing waste removal. 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 303 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Cycle 11A Barron Collier Partnership LLLP – Sanitation and Bethune Rd Properties 3 This exhibit was provided by the owner on 11-30-21 as an updated exhibit depicting removal of the landfill from the application boundary. 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 304 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active BCC Conservation Collier Property Summary Cycle 11A Barron Collier Partnership LLLP – Sanitation and Bethune Rd Properties 4 11.A.4 Packet Pg. 305 Attachment: 4 - Cycle 11A Property Summaries (23943 : Conservation Collier Cycle 11A Active 1 DrewKathlene From:Amy Krueger <amykrueger1@me.com> Sent:Tuesday, July 5, 2022 8:11 AM To:ConservationCollier Subject:Support for protection EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Good Morning Sirs or Madam: I have become aware of the situation of the land that is home to so much wildlife on Marco Island being For Sale. My family urges you people in decision making to please make the right decisions and keep that land for the city and not sold to developers. We have chased out so much wild life from our area that it is so important now especially to do what we can to keep this land for the Gopher turtles, burrowing owls and the American Eagles nesting there…..and for the future. We have owned a home on Marco Island since 1987 and we love that island and all the beautiful things it has to offer especially in nature. Thank you so very much.

Conservation Collier, I understand there is a possibility that you may purchase the land behind the big Publix on South Barfield Ave as part of the Conservation efforts. With all the development on Marco there are less and less places for our eagles, tortoises, etc. I think this purchase would support your mission well. To acquire, preserve, restore and maintain vital and significant threatened natural lands, forest, upland and wetland communities located in Collier County, for the benefit of present and future generations.

Hello, I am writing in support of Conservation Collier purchasing the parcels of land for sale behind the new Publix. My understanding is that these parcels are home to bald eagles, 190 gopher tortoise burrows, and burrowing owls.

Over the years, Conservation Collier has successfully acquired lands within the greater 60,000-acre Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) Project. This investment has continued to ensure flood mitigation, resource protection, habitat preservation for many protected species, and the provision of recreational opportunities for the public. The indicated parcel would enhance the ecological benefits listed above as it is adjacent to both Caracara Prairie Preserve and the CREW Cypress Domes trail system. Ecologically, acquisition of this parcel would benefit biodiversity conservation by ensuring habitat availability and enhancing regional connectivity within existing wildlife corridors. This parcel provides habitats for several listed species and offers nesting habitats for numerous migratory bird species. Acquisition of this parcel will also help enhance the hydrologic integrity of the greater CREW watershed. The CREW Land & Water Trust requests that this parcel receive high prioritization during your ranking process due to its ecological and hydrological significance. We are committed to contributing $10,000 for the acquisition of this nomination to show our support.
