Item # 17.13
ID# 2025-306
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve Petition VAC-PL20200001169, to disclaim, renounce, and vacate the County and the
Public interest in the Conservation Easement recorded in Official Record Book 4296, Page 1735, of the Public Records
of Collier County, Florida, located approximately 400-feet east of Industrial Boulevard, south of Mercantile Avenue, in
Section 36, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, Collier County, Florida.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt a Resolution to vacate the County and the public interest in the Conservation Easement as
recorded in Official Record Book 4296, page 1735 of the public records of Collier County, Florida, in Section 36,
Township 49 South, Range 25 East, Collier County, Florida, being more specifically shown in Exhibit "A."
CONSIDERATIONS: Petition VAC-PL20200001169 has been received, with a request to vacate the Conservation
Easement as recorded in Official Record Book 4296, page 1735 of the public records of Collier County, Florida in
Section 36, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, Collier County, Florida. According to the Collier County Property
Appraiser and a warranty deed recorded at O.R. Book 5356, page 1089, Oakes Farms, Inc. owns the real property
underlying the subject conservation easement.
The applicant proposes vacating a 0.13-acre conservation easement on a 1.36-acre property zoned Industrial. The
conservation easement was originally granted to the County in 2005 as a requirement of SDP AR-8752 and then
required preservation standards.
However, the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) was amended in 2014 (Ord. 2014-33) to exempt Industrial
zoned parcels with a native vegetation retention requirement of 2 acres or less from LDC preservation standards. Much
of the vegetation within the conservation easement was removed during the clean-up of the damage that occurred from
Hurricane Irma in September 2017. Per LDC 3.05.07.B.2.h, Industrial zoned parcels with native retention of 2 acres or
less are exempt from preserve standards, therefore there will be no public detriment from the vacation of this
conservation easement.
The vacation of the conservation easement will allow Oakes Farm, Inc. to expand the use of the site, offering benefits
for the economic well-being of the business and the public, serving the public interest.
The Development Review Division has reviewed this petition and found no reason for objection.
FISCAL IMPACT: Growth Management Community Development Department, Development Review Division staff
has collected a $2,000 "Petition to Vacate" fee from the petitioner. This fee covers the County's cost of recording and
processing the Petition.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management plan impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Petitioner requests the vacation of the conservation easement described in O.R. Book
4296, Page 1735, in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida. Pursuant to Resolution 2021-243 and Florida
Statutes sections 125.01 and 125.37, the Board may adopt resolutions to extinguish, vacate, abandon, discontinue, and
close any easements, or any portion thereof, granted to the County or public by any instrument recorded in the public
records of Collier County and to renounce and disclaim any right of the County and the public in and to any land in
connection therewith; when such interest is granted to the County or public by any instrument recorded in the public
records other than on a subdivision plat when the following criteria are met:
1. Public benefit is established, or no public detriment is established.
2. The Petitioner owns the fee simple title to the whole or that part of the parcel on which a public or County dedicated
easement is sought to be extinguished.
Moreover, this request to vacate a conservation easement is consistent with the County's vacation procedures under
Page 92 of 94
2/25/2025
Item # 17.13
ID# 2025-306
Resolution 2021-243 and section 704.06(4), Florida Statutes, which states that "A conservation easement may be
released by the holder of the easement to the holder of the fee even though the holder of the fee may not be a
governmental body or a charitable corporation or trust."
This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. —DDP
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the attached Resolution relating to Petition VAC-PL20200001169, which will
vacate the County and the Public interest in the Conservation Easement recorded in Official Record Book 4296, Page
1735, of the Public Records of Collier County, Florida, in Section 36, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, Collier
County, Florida, being more specifically shown in Exhibit "A", and direct the Clerk to the Board to record a certified
copy of the Resolution in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida.

WHEREAS, County staff subsequently worked with stakeholder groups,
community members, and advisory boards to develop and publicly vet the proposed
amendments (including the Development Services Advisory Committee and Planning
Commission), and on July 8, 2014, Agenda Item 9.A, the Board adopted Ordinance No.
14-33, implementing the 2013 prioritized list of LDC Amendments; and
WHEREAS, this LDC amendment added an exemption to the native vegetation

zoned parcels having a native vegetation retention requirement of 2 acres or less; and
