Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve the properties on the Conservation Collier Active Acquisition List (AAL) and direct staff to
pursue the projects recommended within the A-Category, funded by the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund
(1061).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval to pursue A-category
properties for acquisition.
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-
establishment 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.
Pursuant to prior Board direction to streamline the acquisition process, properties are now reviewed on an ongoing basis
rather than annual or bi-annual cycles. This new process started in April 2024 after the Board approved Ordinance No.
2002-63 revisions (BCC 3/26/2024, Agenda item 9.D.). Accordingly, the AAL provided includes all properties reviewed
by the CCLAAC in October, November, and December 2024.
On October 2, 2024, November 6, 2024, and December 4, 2024, the CCLAAC selected acquisition proposals for
inclusion in the AAL as follows:

A detailed summary of each property is attached to this item.
The AAL above includes the CCLAAC recommendations. The AAL attached as Attachment 1 to this item provides
detailed companion information about the properties on page 2, including whether the owner lives adjacent to the
subject property and estimated maintenance costs.
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 10, which states the Active Acquisition List shall separate proposals into
three (3) categories: A (pursue acquisition); B (hold for re-evaluation for one calendar year); and C (no interest in
acquiring).
Staff prepared and presented property reports, called Initial Criteria Screening Reports (ICSR), to aid the CCLAAC in
evaluating 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, the link of which is listed below.
During the CCLAAC meetings, property ranking occurred after staff presented all property summaries and after public
comments.
A-CATEGORY PROPERTY
Page 1708 of 6405
1/14/2025
Item # 16.A.14
ID# 2024-2242
• Wilson – 5.00 acres
This parcel is immediately adjacent on its north and south boundary to the Conservation Collier 296-acre North Belle
Meade Preserve within the Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District. Staff and the CCLAAC recommend this property for the
A-category as it would expand an existing preserve and provide habitat for the state-listed red-cockaded woodpecker
(RCW) and the federally listed Florida panther.
The Wilson property has an estimated value of $44,000 ($8,800 per acre).
B-CATEGORY PROPERTY
• Parang Trust – 2.73 acres
B-Category properties are not recommended for acquisition at this time and will be re-evaluated and ranked in one year.
C-CATEGORY PROPERTY
• 1063 Shadowlawn – 1.89 acres
C-Category properties are not recommended for acquisition and are proposed to be removed from the AAL. Property
owners may apply for consideration during a future cycle.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: On October 2, 2024, November 6, 2024, and December 4,
2024, the CCLAAC held a public meeting and ranked acquisition proposals for Board consideration. CCLAAC
recommends one property for a total of 5.00 acres for the “A” list category. The total projected acquisition cost for this
A-list category CCLAAC recommended property is $44,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total estimated cost of the property under consideration is $44,000. Funds in the amount of
$35,559,320 are available for land acquisitions within the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Fund (1061) in the
FY25 budget. Properties pending acquisition in Cycle 11B, 12B, and 2024 total approximately $26,350,520.
Funds for managing any lands acquired by the program are budgeted in the separate Conservation Collier Land
Management Fund (1062), funded via a transfer from 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: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board
action. - SAA
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve properties on the Conservation Collier Active Acquisition List (AAL), direct
staff to pursue the project recommended within the A-Category, and bring the Purchase Agreement to the Board for
review and approval.

•Acquisition Considerations:
o Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) has become quite rare in Collier County due to increased development. Property also has
high utilization by the Florida panther.
o LDC section 2.03.08.A describes that RFMU Sending Lands and are those lands that have the highest degree of environmental
value and sensitivity; and are the principal target for preservation and conservation.
o LDC section 2.03.08.B. states:
The purpose and intent of the Natural Resource Protection Area Overlay District (NRPA) is to: protect endangered or
potentially endangered species by directing incompatible land uses away from their habitats; to identify large, connected, intact,
and relatively unfragmented habitats, which may be important for these listed species; and to support State and Federal agencies'
efforts to protect endangered or potentially endangered species and their habitats. These lands generally should be the focus of
any federal, state, County, or private acquisition efforts.
