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 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: Bennett 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. Possible access concerns or limits to uses within the property unknown at the time of estimation will be taken into consideration at time of appraisal. 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 Bennett 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** Bennett Family Trust No address 1.0 $39,000 $78,000 * 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 Bennett parcel will be obtained from the Collier County Real Estate Services Department before Board of County Commission ranking. 2.2.1 Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. The parcel is zoned Agricultural but is designated as Neutral Lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD), has a North Belle Meade Overlay, and is within Section 24 of Township 49, Range 26, which means its development standards are governed by the Collier County Growth Management Plan Future Land Use Element, as described within Section V.13.6. of the Future Land Use Designation Description Section. The maximum building density is 1 dwelling unit per 40 acres or 1 dwelling unit per lot or parcel of less than 40 acres. The 1.0-acres being offered to Conservation Collier. A residential dwelling could be developed within this parcel. Additionally, if developed, 90% of the slash pine trees shall be preserved, unless a Red -cockaded Woodpecker Habitat Management Plan is prepared, and it recommends a lesser amount. 9 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio No: 61731280002 Owner Names: Bennett Date: June 4, 2025 2.3 Initial Screening Criteria Satisfaction (Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 12) Criteria 1: CLIP Priority 1 Natural Community Does the property contain Upland Hardwood Forest, Scrub, Coastal Upland, Dry Prairie, or Upland Pine?

Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities Although the parcel is mapped as Hydric Pine Flatwoods and Tree Nurseries it can best be described as Mesic Pine Flatwoods. The canopy consists primarily of slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and mature earleaf acacia (Acacia auriculiformis). Several large slash pine snags also exist within the canopy. Other plants observed in the midstory and groundcover include earleaf acacia, bald -cypress (Taxodium distichum), cabbage palm (Saba) palmetto), American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), myrsine (Myrsine cubana), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and occasional sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) and swamp fern (Telmatoblechnum serrulatum). Earleaf acacia is known to have allelopathic properties, producing chemicals that can inhibit the growth of other plants. Muscadine and a thick, earleaf acacia leaf layer blanketed most of the site, while ery little ground cover was observed within much of the parcel Exotic plants were present at a density of approximately 75% and included primarily earleaf acacia and Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia). Ceasarweed (Urena lobata), rosary pea (Abrus precatorius) tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum), and carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) were also present.

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 Needs Plan list of the Metropolitan Planning Organization's Long Range Transportation Plan includes the Green Boulevard Extension (16th Ave SW), in phases, from 23rd St SW to Everglades Blvd. The subject parcel is located south of 16th Ave SW; however, the corridor alignment may shift, or there may be a need for support facilities such as drainage ponds. There could be potential impacts on this parcel depending on the final alignment. 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, if applicable, 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 or stormwater needs at the original per -acre acquisition cost. 32 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Bennett 5.

TOTAL $8,300/$350 6. 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. 33 Initial Criteria Screening Report Owner Names: Bennett 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. 44 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio No: 61731280002 Owner Names: Bennett Date: June 4, 2025 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. 45
