Agenda 06/25/2024 Item #11A (Agreement for Sale and Purchase - Conservation Collier Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve multi-parcel project area)06/25/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for Sale and Purchase under the Conservation Collier Land
Acquisition Program with 1) Richard E. Langell Jr., as Trustee of the Richard E. Langell Trust, dated April
5, 2007 (“Langell Tr.”), for a 2.81-acre parcel at a cost of $58,060 and 2) Martha Sardinas for a 2.34-acre
parcel at a cost of $53,820, for a total cost not to exceed $115,230 inclusive of closing costs.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To purchase two parcels totaling 5.15 acres within the Conservation Collier Dr. Robert H. Gore III
Preserve multi-parcel project area.
CONSIDERATIONS: On October 10, 2023, Agenda Item #11B, the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) recommended Cycle 12A
Active Acquisition List (AAL) and directed staff to actively pursue acquisition of the properties under the Program.
The Langell Tr. and Sardinas properties within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve multi-parcel project were
approved as A-list properties on the Cycle 12A AAL.
Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve: Potential public uses at Gore Preserve include hiking, nature photography, bird
watching, and environmental education. Hydrologic indicators such as karst topography, cypress knees, and
watermarks on buttressed cypress trees provide evidence of seasonal flooding. The mature cypress trees in the
preserve project indicate that the area has historically contained wetlands. The properties are within a historic
wetland area connecting east with the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge (FPNWR) via the old Ford Test
Track. The Gore Preserve and surrounding lands enhance the FPNWR by acting as a buffer and providing a
reasonably large-sized wild land addition north of I-75. Wildlife underpasses at the adjacent Faka-Union and
nearby Miller canals create an ecological link south under I-75 to the Picayune Strand State Forest. A little over two
miles to the west are the North Belle Meade Preserve and the North Belle Meade sending lands. The Gore Preserve
project is within the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Primary Panther habitat zone.
The project area contains protected species of plants, including giant sword fern, several listed bromeliads in the
Tillandsia genus, and five native orchid species. The project area contains Florida panthers, Florida black bears,
and numerous other wildlife. The observed habitat and location would also support the presence of Everglades
mink, tricolored heron, and little blue heron, all state-protected species.
In February 2024, staff contracted with two independent, state-certified general real estate appraisal firms to
appraise all parcels within the Gore Project area. The appraisals provided an average appraised value of $20,750 an
acre for parcels between 4.01 and 7.17 acres, based on comparable sales from wetland, not upland parcels. The cost
to obtain the appraisals was $4,900.
Langell Tr. - west off Desoto Blvd. S., Parcel 41504640006 on the south side of 38th Ave SE
o 2.81 acres (122,404 square feet) of vacant, unimproved land consisting of forested, mixed wetland
hardwoods and cypress with nearly 100% hydric, slough soils.
o An offer of $58,060 was made on March 8, 2024, and accepted on April 17, 2024. The purchase price
of $58,060 is 95% of the appraised value.
Sardinas - west of Desoto Blvd. S., Parcel 41504800008 on the north side of 38th Ave SE
o 2.34 acres (101,930 square feet) of vacant, unimproved land consisting of forested, mixed wetland
hardwoods with approximately 25% hydric, slough soils.
o An offer of $51,130 was made on March 8, 2024, and rejected. The negotiated purchase price of
$53,820 was accepted on April 1, 2024. The purchase price is the full appraised value.

These acquisitions are consistent with the Conservation Collier Purchasing Policy, Resolution No. 2023-10, which
allows the offer amount to be determined by staff but no more than the appraised value.
Pursuant to Ordinance 2024-17, Section 12(6), a Project Design Report (“PDR”) for each of these properties is
provided herewith.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds for these two land acquisitions will be withdrawn from the Conservation Collier
Trust Fund (1061). The two properties identified herein are comprised of a not to exceed acquisition cost of

As of June 25, 2024, the estimated property acquisition costs for Conservation Collier properties, including these
properties and those under contract, total $122,808,581. The funds for managing these parcels will be expended
from the Conservation Collier Maintenance Fund (1062). The initial maintenance costs are provided in the attached
PDRs. The total maintenance costs for these parcels for the first five years (initial maintenance costs) are estimated
at $10,090. After initial restoration, the estimated maintenance costs for these parcels will be approximately $1,290
annually.
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 a majority vote for
approval. - SAA

Location: GOLDEN GATE EST UNIT 91 S 180FT OF TR 53
Size: 2.81 acres
Purchase Price: $58,060
History of Project:
Purpose of Project: Environmental Conservation – Conservation Collier Program
Program Qualifications:
This parcel is within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III (Gore) Preserve multi-parcel project boundary.
The Langell Trust parcel was considered due to its proximity to an existing Conservation Collier
preserve. The Gore Preserve project area, which includes the Beckert parcel, met 5 out of 6 Initial
Screening Criteria identified in the Conservation Collier Ordinance, No. 2007-65, as amended,
including presence of native habitat, potential for nature-based recreational and educational
opportunities, protection of water resource values and wetland dependent species habitat, presence
of significant biological/ecological values, listed species habitat, connectivity, and restoration
potential.
The parcel offers access from Desoto Blvd. S. This property could accommodate outdoor
recreation, particularly due to the proximity to the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve. Potential public
uses include hiking, nature photography, bird watching, and environmental education.
The project area is approximately 75% wetlands, with the remaining 25% seasonal wetlands.
Significant areas of karst have been observed in the area. Karst is limestone terrain characterized
by sinkholes, caverns and underground streams, and is a wetland indicator. Plant communities
found on the property are consistent with mapped soils and provide habitat for wetland dependent
species. The project area is mapped by the South Florida Water Management District as
contributing 43’ to 56” annually of water to the Surficial Aquifer System and can be expected to
contribute to the attenuation of area flood waters. Hydrologic indicators such as karst topography,
cypress knees, and water marks on buttressed cypress trees provide evidence of seasonal flooding.

The mature cypress trees found on the property indicate that the area has historically contained
wetlands.
Invasive exotic plant species are present in significant amounts, up to 95% along the roadside and
approximately 50% interiorly. The primary invasive exotic plant is Brazilian pepper (Schinus
terebinthifolius), but others are likely also present.
The project area contains protected species of plants, including giant sword fern (Nephrolepis
biserrata) and several listed bromeliads in the Tillandsia genus. A neighbor and environmental
professional who is familiar with the property reported 5 native orchid species present within the
project area. The same neighbor has seen 5 panthers in the area since 2014 (including a panther
with kittens), dozens of Florida black bears (including females with cubs), and numerous other
wildlife. The observed habitat and location would support the presence of Everglades mink
(Neovison vison evergladensis), tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), and little blue heron (Egretta
caerulea), all state-protected species.
The property is within an historic wetland area that connects on the east with the Florida Panther
National Wildlife Refuge (FPNWR) via the old Ford Test Track. The Gore Preserve and
surrounding lands enhance the FPNWR by acting as a buffer and providing a reasonably large
sized wild land addition north of I-75. There are wildlife underpasses at the adjacent Faka Union
and nearby Miller canals creating an ecological link south under I-75 to the Picayune Strand State
Forest. A little over two miles to the west are the North Belle Meade sending lands. The Gore
project is within the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Primary Panther
habitat zone. The Langell Trust parcel expands the Gore Preserve. This parcel, joined with many
others, could 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.
Projected Management Activities: Projected management activities include the removal of
invasive plants, the development of a Land Management Plan, and continued development of
public access to selected portions of the preserve.

Sardinas Property
Date: May 2024
Property Owner: Martha Sardinas
Folio(s): 41504800008
Location: GOLDEN GATE EST UNIT 91 N 150FT OF TR 55
Size: 2.34 acres
Purchase Price: $53,820
History of Project:
Purpose of Project: Environmental Conservation – Conservation Collier Program
Program Qualifications:
This parcel is within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III (Gore) Preserve multi-parcel project boundary.
The Sardinas parcel was considered due to its proximity to an existing Conservation Collier
preserve. The Gore Preserve project area, which includes the Beckert parcel, met 5 out of 6 Initial
Screening Criteria identified in the Conservation Collier Ordinance, No. 2007-65, as amended,
including presence of native habitat, potential for nature-based recreational and educational
opportunities, protection of water resource values and wetland dependent species habitat, presence
of significant biological/ecological values, listed species habitat, connectivity, and restoration
potential.
The parcel offers access from Desoto Blvd. S. This property could accommodate outdoor
recreation, particularly due to the proximity to the Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve. Potential public
uses include hiking, nature photography, bird watching, and environmental education.
The project area is approximately 75% wetlands, with the remaining 25% seasonal wetlands.
Significant areas of karst have been observed in the area. Karst is limestone terrain characterized
by sinkholes, caverns and underground streams, and is a wetland indicator. Plant communities
found on the property are consistent with mapped soils and provide habitat for wetland dependent
species. The project area is mapped by the South Florida Water Management District as
contributing 43’ to 56” annually of water to the Surficial Aquifer System and can be expected to
contribute to the attenuation of area flood waters. Hydrologic indicators such as karst topography,
cypress knees, and water marks on buttressed cypress trees provide evidence of seasonal flooding.

The mature cypress trees found on the property indicate that the area has historically contained
wetlands.
Invasive exotic plant species are present in significant amounts, up to 95% along the roadside and
approximately 50% interiorly. The primary invasive exotic plant is Brazilian pepper (Schinus
terebinthifolius), but others are likely also present.
The project area contains protected species of plants, including giant sword fern (Nephrolepis
biserrata) and several listed bromeliads in the Tillandsia genus. A neighbor and environmental
professional who is familiar with the property reported 5 native orchid species present within the
project area. The same neighbor has seen 5 panthers in the area since 2014 (including a panther
with kittens), dozens of Florida black bears (including females with cubs), and numerous other
wildlife. The observed habitat and location would support the presence of Everglades mink
(Neovison vison evergladensis), tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), and little blue heron (Egretta
caerulea), all state-protected species.
The property is within an historic wetland area that connects on the east with the Florida Panther
National Wildlife Refuge (FPNWR) via the old Ford Test Track. The Gore Preserve and
surrounding lands enhance the FPNWR by acting as a buffer and providing a reasonably large
sized wild land addition north of I-75. There are wildlife underpasses at the adjacent Faka Union
and nearby Miller canals creating an ecological link south under I-75 to the Picayune Strand State
Forest. A little over two miles to the west are the North Belle Meade sending lands. The Gore
project is within the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Primary Panther
habitat zone. The Sardinas parcel expands the Gore Preserve. This parcel, joined with many others,
could 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.
Projected Management Activities: Projected management activities include the removal of
invasive plants, the development of a Land Management Plan, and continued development of
public access to selected portions of the preserve.
