ID# 2025-4692
Executive Summary
*** This Item to be heard at 11:00 AM ***
Recommendation to accept a status update on the Barron Collier Companies’ revised property exchange proposal for
approximately 292 acres of County-owned property at Camp Keais for an equally sized property at Silver Strand along
with a 57-acre tract at Silver Strand; to authorize a land allocation plan defining a County operational use, including
future utility and infrastructure needs; and for future conveyance to designated non-profit stakeholders (Collier County
Agricultural & Fair Exposition, Inc., Swamp Buggy, Inc., and Collier County Junior Deputies League) and to authorize
the negotiation of sales contracts for future Board consideration, with notice of the proposed property exchange to be
advertised in accordance with Section 125.37, Florida Statutes.
OBJECTIVE: To provide a status update on the proposed exchange of approximately 292 acres of County-owned
property at Camp Keais (the “Camp Keais Parcel”) for equally sized Barron Collier Companies’ (“Barron Collier”)
property at Silver Strand (the “Silver Strand Parcel”), and to seek direction regarding implementation of a land
allocation plan and negotiation of future sales contracts.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On August 27, 2024 (Item 11B), the Board of County Commissioners (“the Board”) directed the County Manager to
investigate the desirability of exchanging the Camp Keais Parcel (a portion of the Camp Keais property) for the Silver
Strand Parcel. The 1,046.19-acre Camp Keais was purchased by the County in 2021 for $13,600,470 or $13,000 per acre
plus closing costs. The property was acquired as a core campus for the County Fairgrounds, essential public services
such as workforce housing, hurricane debris management, and horticultural processing to effectively satisfy the County’s
immediate and future needs and related operations, and is currently the subject of County land allocation efforts to define
long-term public and stakeholder uses. Stakeholders are Collier County Agricultural & Fair Exposition, Inc., Swamp
Buggy, Inc., and Collier County Junior Deputies League (“Junior Deputies”).
The original proposal contemplated an exchange of approximately 439 acres of County-owned property for an equally
sized Silver Strand parcel. Following appraisal review and further discussions, Barron Collier has now proposed a
smaller exchange involving approximately 292-acre parcels, along with the County’s potential purchase of an additional
57 acres at Silver Strand. The updated proposal, summarized in the attached Letter of Intent dated September 17, 2025,
reflects these changes. An aerial map included in the backup to the item titled Silver Strand Swap/Purchase Parcels
depicts the boundaries of the portions of property the County would acquire, totaling approximately 349 acres. A
second map titled Silver Strand Swap/Purchase Parcels with Original Parcel depicts the original configuration of the
swap parcel with the new configuration and the added purchase parcels. The property, if acquired, would be reserved for
future operational use and other long-term infrastructure. The exchange provides a public benefit by positioning the
County to own property near existing public facilities at Silver Strand. This location may offer practical advantages for
future public use and allows the County to manage its real estate holdings more efficiently over time. Additionally, and
as will appear below, the market value of the Silver Strand Parcel is $803,000 higher than the Camp Keais Parcel.
The Letter of Intent includes land use restrictions and future cooperation to manage drainage, land management, and
access. The proposal also deals with a potential purchase by the County of additional land at Silver Strand. A Phase 1
Environmental Assessment was completed for the 439-acre Silver Strand parcel as originally configured. In light of
concerns regarding possible soil contamination, a Limited Soil Sampling Report was requested and furnished. This
report identified no soil impacts that required further assessment. No other concerns requiring further assessment were
noted. While the revised Silver Strand Parcel is substantially smaller than the parcel originally proposed, approximately
90.59 acres of the revised parcel were not included in the environmental assessment. Additionally, 43.58 acres of the
property proposed for purchase have not been assessed. Two appraisal firms currently under contract with the County,
namely RKL Appraisal and Consulting (“RKL”) and Carrol & Carrol Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants (“Carroll &
Carroll”) were jointly hired by the County and Barron Collier to appraise the two 439-acre parcels as originally
configured. Their opinions of unit value, as of the effective date of January 8, 2025, along with the corresponding
calculated market values for the revised swap parcels, are set forth in the following table:

Carroll & Carroll $22,000 $6,424,000
RKL $24,000 $7,008,000
Average $23,000 $6,716,000
These appraisals reflect a difference of $803,000 between the average estimated market values of the two revised swap
parcels, with the Silver Strand Parcel having the higher market value. These appraisal reports have been updated at
Barron Collier's cost, with the understanding that any future agreement brought to the Board for consideration will
provide for the County's reimbursement of these costs. The updated reports reflect the revised parcel configurations and
acreages, including a single recalculated unit value for the 349-acre Silver Strand swap and purchase parcels and a
separate unit value for the 292-acre Camp Keais Parcel. If approved, staff will publish a notice of intent to exchange for
the Silver Strand Parcel, in accordance with Section 125.37, Florida Statutes, through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and
Comptroller’s official public notice website. After publication, a property exchange agreement and resolution will be
brought back to the Board. The agreement will include provisions dealing with the purchase of the additional 57 acres.
The most recent appraisals, received in December 2025, indicate higher per-acre values for both parcels compared to
prior estimates. Based on these updated analyses, the revised average market value for the Camp Keais Parcel is
$6,497,000, while the Silver Strand Parcel is $7,592,000. These updated market values reflect a difference of
$1,095,000 between the two parcels. While these updated figures provide additional context, they do not necessarily
imply any change to the proposed values outlined in the Letter of Intent. Their updated opinions of unit value, as of
December 2025, along with the corresponding calculated market values for the revised swap parcels, are set forth in the
following table:

As the land allocation planning for Camp Keais progresses, portions of the property are anticipated to remain under
County ownership for public use, while defined areas may be reserved or conveyed to partner entities consistent with
Board direction.
On May 27, 2025 (Item 11C), the Board considered and approved the Collier County Agricultural & Fair Exposition,
Inc. (Fair Board) Letter of Interest to purchase land at the Camp Keais for the relocation of the Collier County
Fairgrounds. Since that time, Real Property Management has been working with the Fair Board on a draft sales contract,
and negotiations are underway. Once the allocation plan is finalized for the Fair Board and other Camp Keais
stakeholders, a sales contract for each stakeholder will be presented to the Board for consideration. The proposed per-
acre value for all stakeholder conveyances is based on the County’s historical acquisition cost of $13,045.48 per acre
(inclusive of closing costs). Public solicitation and competitive bidding are not required for this transfer, as Section
125.38, Florida Statutes, permits the County to convey property directly to a not-for-profit entity serving a public
purpose.
To assist in reviewing the land allocation plan, the table below summarizes the approximate acreage currently utilized
Page 3783 of 14062

by each stakeholder, along with the acreage proposed under the land allocation plan. The Public Utilities Department has
not previously been assigned a designated site and is therefore shown as N/A for current use.

Implementation of the allocation plan may require future applications for lot splits, subdivision plats, or lot line
adjustments to align property boundaries with the plan. These adjustments are also necessary for preparing accurate legal
descriptions, which are a prerequisite to developing the purchase and sale agreements. These applications may be
initiated either by the County or by the applicable stakeholder, depending on what is most practical and consistent with
the terms negotiated in each sales contract.
The County holds a lease with Winget Mill Composting, LLC, a private entity that provides mulching services and
debris staging for Collier County in the event of hurricanes or other emergency events. A portion of the leased area at
Camp Keais overlaps with the proposed Public Utilities and Fair Board sites. Winget has indicated a willingness to
release that portion from the lease boundary. If this item is approved, staff will evaluate alternative areas within Camp
Keais and negotiate a lease boundary adjustment with Winget for future Board consideration. The lease expires October
17, 2027, and if all extension options are exercised, it would terminate in 2042. The lease also includes a 60-day
bilateral termination provision that may be exercised by either party for any reason.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to plan and build public infrastructure and
facilities to effectively, efficiently, and sustainably meet the needs of our community.

FISCAL IMPACT: All due diligence costs thus far have been paid by Barron Collier, who will continue to be
requested to pay for all future costs relating to the proposed land exchange. The Camp Keais property is financed
through the Series 202B Taxable Note. The final payment on the note is October 1, 2029. The current principal and
interest balance attributable to the Camp Keais property is approximately $9.6m. There is no fiscal impact associated
Page 3784 of 14062
1/13/2026
Item # 11.B
ID# 2025-4692
with the ongoing land allocation efforts or proposed land exchange and purchase from Barron Collier. Should any sales
contracts be approved and closings occur, the County will recover its historical acquisition cost and all costs associated
with each conveyance, including any applicable interest or financing changes under the taxable note.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The proposed property exchange and allocation plan is consistent with the
Collier County Growth Management Plan, including the Future Land Use, Housing, Conservation, Recreation, and
Open Space Elements. Together, these actions promote the efficient use and distribution of public lands, support
coordinated infrastructure and utility planning, preserve natural resources, and provide opportunities for future public
and stakeholder recreation consistent with the County’s long-term growth objectives. It should be noted that the zoning
designation for both properties, Agricultural/Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay, will not be affected by the proposed
swap. Any proposed land use changes must be consistent with the Future Land Use Designation or will require an
amendment to the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues at this time
and requires a majority vote for Board action. –JAK
RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Board:
1. Accept the proposed land allocation plan for Camp Keais.
2. Approve the property exchange of approximately 292 acres at Camp Keais for an equally sized parcel at
Silver Strand, including the related purchase of additional Silver Strand property at a purchase price to be negotiated,
and authorize preparation of all necessary contracts to implement the allocation plan, property exchange and purchase,
to be brought back for Board consideration at a future meeting in accordance with Sections 125.37 and 125.38, Florida
Statutes.
3. Authorize the application for any required lot splits, subdivision plats, or lot line adjustments necessary to
implement the approved allocation plan and property exchange.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert Bosch
Real Property Manager
RE: Master Planning Efforts – Camp Keais and Silver Strand Properties
Dear Mr. Bosch,
Facilities Management provides the following information to support your efforts
related to the proposed exchange involving the Camp Keais property and the Silver
Strand property. The purpose of this correspondence is solely to present operational and
financial context from a planning and development perspective.
Facilities Management is currently engaged in a master planning effort for the
approximately 1,000-acre Camp Keais property to prepare the site for multiple potential
public uses, including potential locations for the Collier County Fairgrounds, the Swamp
Buggy races, and other uses directed by the Board of County Commissioners following
acquisition. We understand that adjacent property owners to the east have expressed
concerns regarding certain potential uses and have proposed a possible exchange
involving approximately 439 acres of the Silver Strand property located roughly five miles
to the north.
The firm contracted to support the Camp Keais master planning effort has
estimated that conducting a parallel planning and zoning effort for both properties would
result in approximately $126,000 in additional consulting costs. This estimate reflects the
need to duplicate tasks such as conceptual site planning, zoning analysis, utility
coordination, and preparation for potential subdivision, lease, or sale. Concurrent
planning efforts also require increased County staff time for interdepartmental
coordination, project management, and public engagement.
In addition to the planning and zoning workstreams, both properties carry a range
of typical project development considerations that would need to be evaluated and
managed independently for each site through the planning process. These include
environmental and conservation reviews, listed species assessments, wetland
considerations, geotechnical evaluations, transportation and access analysis, and
confirmation and management of any existing encumbrances, easements, or regulatory
obligations. The timing and scope of these efforts may differ between the two properties
and would likely require coordination with multiple internal and external agencies.
Page 3794 of 14062
Differences between the two sites in their proximity to and access to utilities and
service providers may also influence development planning. Both properties may require
future coordination with utility providers regarding potable water, sewer, electric, fiber,
and other infrastructure needs. Any required extensions, improvements, or service
connections would need to be assessed separately for each property.
The Silver Strand property includes additional considerations related to water
management. The property is currently associated with South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) permits 11-00261-S, 11-00263-W, and 11-00817-W, and it requires the
joint development of a water management plan with Baron Collier Companies, the
adjacent property owner, subject to SFWMD approval.
Additional analysis may include environmental, geotechnical, transportation, land
use, and utility evaluations to fully understand the development opportunities and
constraints at the additional site. These items are not evaluated within this
correspondence but are noted here for awareness as part of the overall planning context.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information. Please let us know if
further clarification or technical details are needed.
Sincerely,
Tony Barone

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Ave Maria Utility Company is a privately owned and operated potable water and sewer
plant located within Ave Maria. This would be the best option for the subject property
obtaining water and sewer service, but there are no agreements to connect. Capacity was
not verified by Barron Collier Companies. Collier County requested that the same
assumptions be used for utilities as were employed in the appraisal prepared for the 2021
purchase of the Parent Tract from Barron Collier Companies. For the purpose of this
appraisal, I have assumed the Parent Tract, the Swap Parcel, and the Remainder Property
will have access to utilities from Ave Maria Utility Company.

Carroll & Carroll 8
SCOPE OF WORK
All applicable approaches to value were developed and the value conclusion reflects all
known information about the subject property, market conditions, and available data.
The scope of work was:
• Reviewed aerial photographs, land use plans, the Land Development Code, the
Proposed Parcel Boundaries, a Phase I Environmental Assessment, Limited Soil
Sampling Report, and other documentation.
• Reviewed how the property relates to its neighborhood and to the broader market area
in development of an opinion of highest and best use.
• Researched vacant land comparable sales, listings, and pending sales.
• Developed the sales comparison approach following a Before-and-After methodology.
• Estimated the fair market value of the parent tract before and after the proposed land
swap.
• Prepared an appraisal report summarizing the appraisal assignment, the property
appraised, the application of the appraisal methodology, and the logical support for the
value conclusion.
Sources of market data included local and regional MLS systems, CoStar, LoopNet, public
records, and interviews with real estate brokers.

Carroll & Carroll 9
ESTATE APPRAISED
The estate appraised is the Fee Simple Absolute. For appraisal purposes Fee Simple
Absolute is synonymous with Fee Simple.
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Seventh Edition, published 2022 by the Appraisal
Institute, defines Fee Simple Estate as:
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
We consider easements, but only to the extent that they are known to us. Appraisal of the
fee simple means that an improved property is vacant and available to be put to its highest
and best use.

Carroll & Carroll 10
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
In United States tax law, the definition of Fair Market Value is found in the United States
Supreme Court decision in the Cartwright case:
The fair market value is the price at which the property would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell
and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
United States v. Cartwright, 411 U. S. 546, 93 S. Ct. 1713, 1716-17, 36 L. Ed. 2d 528, 73-1 U.S.
Tax Case. (CCH) ¶ 12,926 (1973) (quoting from U.S. Treasury regulations relating to Federal
estate taxes, at 26 C.F.R. sec. 20.2031-1(b)).
ASSUMED EXPOSURE TIME
The reasonable exposure time is assumed to have already occurred as of the appraisal
effective date. The assumed reasonable exposure time was between 9 and 12 months.

AREA INFORMATION
COLLIER COUNTY ANALYSIS
An analysis of geography, transportation, population, employment, income, and education
for Collier County is performed using data provided by Site to Do Business, Florida Office
of Economic & Demographic, United States Department of Labor, all recognized source(s).
GEOGRAPHY
Collier County is the most southerly county on Florida's west coast offering mainland
coastal development. Collier County is west of Ft. Lauderdale and south of Tampa. With
2,025 square miles of land area, it is the largest county in Florida. About 63% of the land
area is in public ownership, is set aside for environmental preservation, or is scheduled for
public land acquisition.
The region enjoys a climate that is classified as subtropical. Summers are relatively mild,
and winters are usually frost free. A hard freeze is a rarity. The climate, especially in winter,
is one that attracts and is enjoyable to most people.
The geography of the area runs generally northwest and southeast as indicated by the trend
of the coastline. Beaches extend from the northern county line south to Cape Romano and
then, as the coastline trends further to the southeast, beaches give over to mangrove islands
and swamps. Moving northeastward from the beaches, elevations increase very slowly.
Most of the county is less than 15 feet above mean sea level. Although changes in elevation
Page 3809 of 14062
6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 12
are gradual, they are well defined by variations in vegetation. Much of the county is, or was
once, wetland. The once plentiful marine resources are largely depleted, but still provide
good sport fishing.
Population centers include the coastal communities of Naples, Marco Island and
Everglades/Chokoloskee. Immokalee, the single large interior community, is in north
Collier County and is the agricultural center of the region.
POPULATION
“The social forces studied by appraisers primarily relate to population characteristics. The
demographic composition of the population reveals the potential demand for real estate,
which makes the proper analysis and interpretation of demographic trends important in an
appraiser’s analysis.” The total population, it's composition by age and gender, and the rate
of household formation and dissolution strongly influence real property values. (The
Appraisal of Real Estate 14th Edition)
Collier County’s population has continued to increase year after year. The population has
increased only 0.1% as of 2022 from 2020. The population forecasts through 2027 calls for a
continued steady growth cycle with an estimated 4.4% population growth from 2022 to
2027.
Page 3810 of 14062
6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 13
Collier County is a popular retirement destination. As of 2022, 55.9% of the County’s
residents are over the age of 45. The 2027 forecasts depict an aging community with 56.5%
of the population 45 years of age or older.
EMPLOYMENT
Collier County is a largely service based economy with 32.1% of the employees in the
leisure, hospitality, education, and health service industries and 26% in professional,
business, financial and other services. Trade, transportation, & utilities along with
government jobs account for 36.4% of the County’s employees. Industries such as natural
resources/mining, construction, and manufacturing make up only 5.5% of the market.

6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 14
The unemployment rate in Collier County exceeded the state average by a slight margin in the
years 2015 and 2016. The unemployment rate then declined through 2020 as the economy
improved and, until recently, Collier County’s unemployment rates decreased more rapidly
than the state.

INCOME
Collier County’s per capita income and median household income levels are higher than
state statistics. The most substantial difference between Collier County and the state is the
large percentage difference in household incomes above $100,000 where Collier County
exceeds the state by over 12%. Collier County's percentage household incomes ranging
from $25,000 to $74,999 is slightly lower than the percentage of household incomes in the
state, only mirroring that of the state at $75,000 to $99,000, and from there exceeding the
percentage of the state. Income levels vary greatly within different areas of Collier County,
and so will be discussed in greater detail in the Market Area descriptions.
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation system reflects local geography, population densities and the primary
motivators of tourism, service industry employment, the construction industry, agriculture,
and leisure activities.
ROADS
The earliest roads were coastal, extending from north to south in the early twentieth century
with the first settlers. Principal among these is US-41, commonly referred to as the Tamiami
Trail because it was built to connect Tampa and Miami. Where it passes through the coastal
community US-41 is a four or six lane divided highway with landscaped medians, curb and
gutter, streetlights and often with concrete sidewalks. The Trail is the principal coastal
arterial and one that defines several important boundaries. Often there is a noticeable land
value difference east and west of US-41 because the affluent coastal population prefers to
shop and trade close to home. As the highway turns southeast from downtown Naples
toward Miami the Trail defines the boundary of the coastal management zone which affects
development densities and storm evacuation requirements. The eastern segment of US -41
is a designated national scenic highway popular with tourists, especially during the winter
season as they seek adventure in the Everglades.
A system of asphalt surfaced arterials, major collectors, minor collectors, and neighborhood
streets extend into the urban area east and west from US-41. North-south arterials and
major collectors are established about one mile apart. From west to east, these include
Goodlette-Frank Road, Airport-Pulling Road, Livingston Road, Santa Barbara Boulevard
and Collier Boulevard. The east-west grid is spaced about two miles apart; from north to
south being Immokalee Road (CR-864), Vanderbilt Beach Road (CR-862), Pine Ridge Road
(CR-896), Golden Gate Parkway (CR-886), Radio Road (CR-856), Davis Boulevard (SR-84),
and Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR-864). Within the urban area all of these are at least 4
lane divided highways.
East of Collier Boulevard the road system reflects the economies of scale of Golden Gate
Estates subdivision (the Estates) where 102 square miles of rural subdivision is supported
by a grid system of paved and unpaved 2 lane streets, with 2 and 4 lane asphalt surfaced
Page 3813 of 14062
6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 16
major collectors. Golden Gate Boulevard, a 4-lane divided road for five of its eleven miles
east of CR-951, is the principal east-west collector. Everglades Boulevard (2 lane and
asphalt surfaced) is the north-south major collector extending south from Immokalee Road
14 miles to the grade separation at I-75 where it continues into the Picayune Strand State
Forest. Most of the neighborhood streets in Golden Gate Estates are asphalt. Collier
County is planning to extend east-west collectors through the Estates along the alignment of
Vanderbilt Beach Road and somewhere south of Golden Gate Boulevard. A north-south
connection is also planned from the eastern terminus of White Boulevard (Pine Ridge Road)
north to Golden Gate Boulevard.
Interstate highway 75 (I-75) was extended from north to south through Collier County in
the mid-1980s along a flood-proof route about five miles inland. Directly east of the City of
Naples I-75 joins the original alignment of State Road 84 (Alligator Alley) connecting with
Florida's east coast at Ft. Lauderdale. The coastal community I-75 interchanges are spaced
three to four miles apart at Immokalee Road (CR-864), Pine Ridge Road (CR-896), Golden
Gate Parkway (CR-886), and at Collier Boulevard/Davis Boulevard (CR-951/SR-84). Twenty-
one miles east of the coastal community is an interchange at State Road 29; the last
interchange in Collier County. Collier County and the FDOT continue to study the
feasibility of an interchange at Everglades Boulevard.
The advent of I-75 signaled a change in the relationship of Collier County to the rest of
Florida and the United States. While US-41 was the only north-south arterial, Collier
County was dominated by the conservative mid-western influences of seasonal residents
and somewhat isolated from the larger urban areas of Florida. After the late 1980s, road
access to Collier was made much more convenient to the northeast via connections with I -4
and I-95. This had the effect of broadening Collier’s market exposure and it stimulated
growth. The extension of I-75 south into Dade County promoted better access for European
tourists and made Collier County transient lodging attractive for east coast weekenders.
Strategic connections exist where Collier Boulevard and CR-92 extend south and west from
US-41 providing access to the City of Marco Island from the greater Naples area and from
Florida's east coast, respectively. State Road 29 connects the southwest Florida agricultural
center of Immokalee with points north, with the Naples coastal community via CR-846,
with the Ft. Myers coastal community via SR-82, and with US-41 at Everglades City which
is the western gateway to Everglades National Park and the 10,000 Islands region of
Collier's southwest coast.
The road transportation system is well planned, well maintained, and operating at
acceptable capacity. Ambitious road construction projects undertaken in anticipation of
growth projections and funded by impact fees have caught up with development. The road
system reflects Collier's position at the southerly limit of development on Florida's west
coast.

MASS TRANSIT
Collier Area Transit (CAT), operated by Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes
Department, provides inexpensive alternative transportation throughout the county linking
major employment centers of Naples with Marco Island and Immokalee. There are several
circulation routes with stops at the County government complex, hospitals, and major
shopping establishments. The system accommodates bicycle transport and personal items.
The same County department administers the Collier Area Para Transit system which
provides subsidized transportation services for the disabled and economically
disadvantaged.
This is a successful and growing system that connects people with jobs, essential services,
and shopping while reducing transportation costs and road congestion.
AIRPORTS
Collier County is supported by a system of five public airports. Southwest Florida
International Airport (RSW) is located in Lee County 25 miles north of Naples; a 45-minute
drive via I-75 from the Collier center of population. This facility serves the five county
southwest Florida regions offering domestic and international air carrier service. It is
modern, convenient, and has planned expansion to keep up with regional growth.
Naples Municipal Airport (APF) owned by the City of Naples and operated by the
independently constituted Naples Airport Authority which derives its revenue principally
from fuel sales. This small airport (about 1 sq. mi.) is located one mile east of downtown
Naples. It serves the coastal community and is especially convenient to affluent residents
who own private aircraft, to the corporate convention business of the large beachfront
hotels, and to essential services like mosquito control, Emergency Medical Services (EMS),
the Sheriff’s office, and private air ambulance services. The two paved runways (5/23 @
5,290’ and 14/32 @ 5,000’) will support jets including the G4 and Challenger series. Naples
airport is tower controlled and fully certified for commercial operations and is home to
several aircraft charter services and flight training schools. In 2005, Naples Municipal
Airport accommodated 163,434 aircraft operations, a record high. Annual operations
decreased by nearly 50% from 2005 to 2011. The total operations for 2020 were 104,479,
which is a 5.2% increase from the previous year. Due to its downtown location, Naples
airport has restricted operations of the noisiest jet aircraft and is at the leading edge of noise
abatement measures.
The Collier County Airport Authority owns and operates airports at Marco Island, in
Everglades City, and at Immokalee. These are primarily funded through fuel sales and
hangar leases. Marco Island Airport (MKY) is a very small (64.47 acres) general aviation
facility on the mainland four miles northeast of Marco Island. The single paved runway
(17/35 @ 5,000') will support light jet traffic. Hanger and ramp space is very limited. Fuel is
Page 3815 of 14062
6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 18
available. This airport is convenient to Marco Island residents and to the corporate
convention business of the Island hotels. Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) is one mile
east of Immokalee and 35 miles by road northeast of Naples. This 2 square mile airport has
two paved 5,000-foot runways (18/36 and 09/27) a third diagonal runway is now used as a
weekend drag racing strip. The airport is in the Florida Rural Enterprise Zone and a HUB
Empowerment Zone. A 60-acre zone in and around the airport is a designated Foreign
Trade Zone. To date, the economic potential of this airport is largely unrealized. However,
the field is active as a training destination for coastal-based flight schools, it hosts aerial
firefighting and crop-dusting operations, and it bases numerous private aircraft. The
Everglades Airpark (X01) is a light duty general aviation facility of 29.14 acres that is within
walking distance of downtown Everglades City. The single paved strip (15/33 @ 2,400')
supports itinerant coastal traffic and half a dozen-based aircraft. Fuel, a comfortable pilot
center and bicycles are available.
The aviation community Is well supported. The greater Naples area is the beneficiary of the
winter season influx of corporate executives and affluent individuals who can afford luxury
private jet travel.
MARINE TRANSPORTATION
There is no deep-water port and no commercial marine activity other than that associated
with commercial fishing, charter sport fishing, and the marine towing services that support
the pleasure boat industry. The controlling depth to the municipal dock in Naples Bay is six
feet at mean low water. The US Coast Guard maintains a dredged and well-marked
intracoastal waterway from the head of Naples Bay to Coon Key southeast of Marco Island.
Local geography requires vessels northbound from Naples to transit 30 miles of the Gulf of
Mexico before returning to the sheltered intracoastal system at Sanibel Island. According to
the Marine Industries Association of Collier County, as of early 2018 there were 57,685
registered vessels in Southwest Florida. In 2022, Florida registered over 1 million
recreational boats. Seasonally, excursions from Marco Island to Key West and from Ft.
Myers Beach to Key West are scheduled daily.
EDUCATION
The Collier County School District provides public education to about 47,000 students
encompassing grades K-12 and employs almost 7,000 people of which 3,200 are teachers.
The district has 51 public schools consisting of 31 elementary, 10 middle, 8 high schools, one
K-12 (Everglades City School), and 1 virtual school. There are also 12 alternative school
programs and two technical colleges, Lorenzo Walker Technical College, and Immokalee
Technical College, which offer short term and long-term training to adults and high school
students.
Between 2015 and 2020, the school district had an overall population growth of more than
6,000 students but recently student population growth has leveled off and slightly
Page 3816 of 14062
6893A Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 19
decreased. The student population is a diverse culture. 55% of students live in homes where
English is not the first language. Students come from 76 different countries of origin and
speak 104 different languages.
Collier County School District continues to receive an “A” grade by the State of Florida
Department of Education. The district and all schools are accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Council. Collier County is the leader in Florida in
educational technology. It is also a leader in advanced educational programs, offering dual
enrollment and Advance Placement courses, Cambridge Advanced International Certificate
of Education and Laureate diplomas. Career training is available through 32 career
academies.
In addition to the public-school system, there are numerous private schools throughout the
county. Approximately, 16% of all K-12 students in Collier County are educated in private
schools.
Collier County is also home to several colleges and accredited universities. Three colleges
have campuses in Collier County: Ave Maria University, Keiser University and Florida
Southwestern State College (formerly Edison Community College). Ave Maria University is
a private catholic university that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs
including a law school has around 1,245 students. Keiser University is a private university
that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs to over 17,990 students throughout
20 campuses in Florida and an online learning program. Florida Southwestern State College
with campuses in Naples, Punta Gorda, and Ft. Myers, offers both two-year and four-year
degree programs for 14,714 students. Formerly located in Naples, now in Fort Myers,
Hodges University is a private four-year college that offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees
in 20 disciplines for around 1,676 students. Nearby Florida Gulf Coast University (located
in southern Lee County) is one of the state's fastest growing institutions and home to over
16,000 students.
CONCLUSION
At the southerly limit of urban development on Florida's west coast, Collier County offers
the climate, natural resources, and sporting opportunities to support a superb retirement
community. The quality of infrastructure, schools, and social services is what one would
expect of such an area. We are experiencing a surge in new development projected to take
us through the next several years. In the long term, the attractions of the climate and
location, and the stability of fixed-account affluence promise continuing prosperity
although probably without the strong emphasis on new development.

MARKET AREA
Market Area is defined as:
“The geographic region from which a majority of demand comes and in which the
majority of competition is located.” (The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal 7th Edition)
“A market area is defined in terms of the market for a specific category of real estate
and thus is the area in which alternative, similar properties effectively compete with the
subject property in the minds of probable, potential purchasers and users.” (The
Appraisal of Real Estate 15th Edition)
A market area includes those surrounding land uses which impact the value of a property
and it can encompass one or more neighborhoods or districts. An appraiser focuses on the
market area in analyzing subject property value influences.
BOUNDARIES
The subject property is located within the Immokalee area. For appraisal purposes, the
market area boundaries are shown below:
➢ North Collier/Hendry County Line
➢ South Oil Well Road
➢ East Collier/Hendry County Line
➢ West Collier/Lee County Line

Introduction
The property being appraised lies within the boundaries of the Immokalee Planning
Community which is a 26 square mile area centered on the unincorporated community of
Immokalee. Immokalee is in north central Collier County approximately 25 miles east of
the Gulf of Mexico, six miles south of the Collier County-Hendry County line and 18 miles
north of I-75. The Immokalee area is home to Lake Trafford, which is the largest lake in
Collier County encompassing 1,500 acres.
At the county's formation in 1923, Immokalee was the only non-coastal settlement. Today it
remains the only interior community of considerable size. Immokalee was fairly isolated
from the coastal area until the Immokalee Road (CR-846) was rebuilt and resurfaced in
1955-56. With major improvements to the transportation system, Immokalee became a
thriving center of ranching, farming, and lumbering.
Immokalee is the agricultural center of an area that includes parts of Collier, Lee, Glades
and Hendry counties. The economy is dominated by the agricultural industry which
employs over a third of the working population in ranching, truck farms and citrus. This
industry has made Immokalee the leading domestic producer of winter vegetables for the
United States. Most of the land and agricultural business is vested in a few large corporate-
owned enterprises.
Environmental Influences
This area is desired because of mild winter weather and easy access to miles of beaches.
The subtropical weather allows for year-round recreational opportunities. Boating and
swimming are popular activities and boating is supported for seasonal residents and
tourists by local marinas and charter boats. Bicycling, walking, and jogging are supported
by an extensive network of connected biking and walking paths. Collier County has more
golf courses per capita than most areas in the United States.
Development has occurred in such a way that the open-space and lush landscaping give
the appearance of a well-manicured, tropical paradise.
Governmental Influences
This market area is governed by Collier County Board of County Commissioners which
serves as chief legislative body and five constitutional officers: sheriff, clerk of courts, tax
collector, supervisor of elections, and property appraiser. County government is managed
by a strong county manager structure. Collier County provides services which range from
average to high quality. However, Collier County is known for being a difficult county for
building and development. The tax burden in Collier County is lower than the national
average.
Page 3819 of 14062
6893A Report Market Area
Carroll & Carroll 22
County government has zoning and comprehensive plan ordinances (Immokalee Area
Master Plan) designed to protect the character and values of property; to protect and
enhance economic development; and to maintain and enhance the attractive nature of the
area.
Public services include fire protection, solid waste disposal, potable water, sanitary sewer
service and storm water drainage. Public/private companies proved adequate services for
electricity, cable, and internet. Community support facilities such as schools, parks,
churches, shopping, and places of employment are all located within this market area.
Collier County Sheriff Department provides full range of services for Collier County.
This market area is served by several major roadways including Immokalee Road (CR 846),
State Road 29, State Road 82, and Oil Well Road.
Immokalee Road (CR 846) is a 6-lane, divided, east-west arterial highway connecting the
north coastal community with north, interior Collier County and ultimately with the
regional agricultural center of Immokalee. East of the I-75 interchange, Immokalee Road has
been widened to six lanes as far as the Orangetree subdivision at Oil Well Road. The
remaining ±16 miles to Immokalee are a two-lane asphalt road that is heavily traveled and
dangerous due to morning and evening rushes mixing with heavy truck traffic. The
extension of four lanes on to Immokalee is not in the current 5-year plan. This is the
County's northernmost relevant east/west arterial. Development along Immokalee Road is
clustered almost exclusively west of Collier Boulevard at the major intersection of Collier
Boulevard, Interstate I-75, Airport Road and Tamiami Trail. Development consists of
single/multi-family residential, as well as office and retail uses.
State Road 82 is two/four land arterial road extending from US-41/Cleveland Avenue in
Downtown Fort Myers and extending east 29 miles until it ends at State Road 29. The road
serves the City of Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and the Immokalee area. Development varies
from intense commercial development in the Fort Myers area to farmlands/wetlands as it
approaches State Road 29.
Oil Well Road is a primarily 4-lane east-west asphalt paved road extending east from
Immokalee Road approximately 10 miles to the entrance of Ave Maria. Development along
this road begins with a mixture of single-family residential near Immokalee Road and
gradually changes to open farmland.
State Road 29 is the principal highway through Immokalee. These two lanes, asphalt
surfaced, highway runs south from Immokalee to Everglades City in the Ten Thousand
Islands and north from Immokalee to La Belle in Hendry County. State Road 82 intersects
Page 3820 of 14062
6893A Report Market Area
Carroll & Carroll 23
State Road 29 north of Immokalee providing access into the City of Fort Myers. The state
road system leading into Immokalee is in good condition.
The Immokalee urban area traffic network is focused on Main Street (State Road 29) as it
passes from east to west through the center of town and then turns north toward LaBelle.
Immokalee Road (CR-846) from Naples enters south Immokalee, turns east joining Main
Street, then continues into the agricultural areas of Hendry County about 8 miles east of
Immokalee. Asphalt surfaced, 2-lane local collectors consist of New Market Road/Westclox,
a northwest-southeast neighborhood collector through the heart of the agricultural market
area and into the northwest residential neighborhoods, Immokalee Drive, an east-west
neighborhood collector serving developing residential districts west of SR-29 and Lake
Trafford Road, a medium collector connecting the northwest Immokalee commercial district
on SR-29 with residential neighborhoods and the Lake Trafford recreational area three miles
west. Local streets, sometimes asphalt paved and sometimes not, are typically laid out on a
grid pattern. Connectivity is fairly good, but the community remains segmented by the road
system.
Public transportation is provided by a county transit bus service.
Social Influences
The Immokalee market area ranges from planned developments to mostly undeveloped
land. This area remains as one of the last areas in Collier County with large tracts that are
developable. Most are still being used for agricultural purposes, but Collier County has
designated much of this land as Rural Lands Stewardship area, promoting future growth.
The purpose of this program is to encourage smart growth patterns in rural areas of the
county per the Growth Management Plan. Collier County’s objective is to create an
incentive-based land use overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier County Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, based on the principles of rural land stewardship. The
Stewardship Send Area (SSA) is used to issue designated Sending Area Stewardship credits
to property owners which may be used to entitle Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) which
can be in the form of self-contained planned urban developments in the RLSA. This area
has grown considerably in the past 10 years with the growth of Ave Maria.
US Census Bureau, Esri forecasts, 2024 population is 41,945 with a projected growth to
50,369 (20%% growth) by 2029, which will mainly be attributable to the growth and
development of Ave Maria and the proposed Towns and Villages along Oil Well Road. The
population also nearly doubles during the winter months in Immokalee due to agricultural
seasonality. This increase occurs during the winter when the harvest season for vegetables
and citrus is at its peak.
Page 3821 of 14062
6893A Report Market Area
Carroll & Carroll 24
The median age in the Immokalee market area is 33.2, significantly lower than the county

Economic Influences
This area’s income levels are considerably lower than the County’s average. The average
household income in 2024 was $91,977, which is approximately 32.1% lower than the
county’s average household income of $135,508. In the subject market area only 30.6% of
the households have annual incomes greater than $100,000, compared to the county figure
of 43.1%. On the other hand, 25.1% of households have average household incomes of less
than $35,000. The economy of rural Southwest Florida has been and continues to be based
primarily on agriculture, which has not kept pace with job growth and income levels
throughout the state of Florida. Rural Florida continues to have lower earned income,
higher unemployment, lower property values and fewer opportunities for employment.
The median home value in the market area is $408,613 which is considerably lower than the
County’s average home value of $604,707. However, the median home value has increased
substantially due to the overall market conditions and the amount of new residential
products in Ave Maria and Skysail. The total number of housing units in the market area is
12,513, of which, 64.6% are owner occupied, 35.4% renter occupied.
Development trends:
Residential
Residential development density varies from less than one unit per 10 acres in agricultural
districts, to as high as eight units per acre in the high-density residential areas in
Immokalee. The Immokalee area of housing diversity ranging from large ranch style homes
to low-income housing. In the immediate Immokalee area, the density of residential
development is relatively high and there are many substandard structures. Other parts of
the market area include acreage homesites and the planned development of Ave Maria. The
Town of Ave Maria is an entire town including a University. Ave Maria is accessible from
both Oil Well Road and Camp Keais Road. The campus and town are 30 miles from Naples
and just 10 miles from Immokalee. Ave Maria totals about 5,000 acres, of which nearly 20%
has been designated as the University campus. When completed, the Town will contain
some 11,000 residential dwellings in a wide variety of price ranges and neighborhoods.
Residential units include rental apartments, condominiums, starter homes, and estate
homes.
Over the past 10+ years there has been a residential boom in Ave Maria ranking it as the #18
Top Selling Master Planned Community in the United States. Ave Maria has sold more
than 5,200 new homes since the development first opened. For the year 2024, Ave Maria
reported 600 new home sales ranking it as the top development in Collier County. Ave
Maria currently has four national home builders including, Del Webb, CC Homes, Pulte
Homes, and Lennar. There are a total of 75 floor plans between the builders with prices
ranging from the high $200s to $800s.

The goal of the University is to become the major Catholic University in the south, with
some 5,000 graduate and undergraduate students. Also, within Ave Maria is the Arthrex
Commerce Park. Arthrex, Inc. is a world-renowned medical company. Their campus is
currently designed with a 355,870 square foot manufacturing facility with a 55,027 square
foot finishing building situated on a 35.88-acre site. Dialum, a Chilean based glass
manufacturer recently purchased a 10-acre site and plans to construct a 100,000 square foot
manufacturing facility within the park. The Arthrex Commerce Park will eventually
encompass 200 acres to accommodate future growth.
The newest residential development in the market area is SkySail, which is being developed
by Neal Communities. SkySail is a 1,500 single-family home community located on 642
acres located just east of Everglades Boulevard along Oil Well Road. The development has
13 different floor plans with prices starting in the mid-$400,000 to over $700,000.
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area of the market area (the Oil Well corridor) has many
residential developments in the planning stages. On the following pages are maps
depicting the proposed developments within the RLSA. The four largest projects are the
Town of Big Cypress, Rivergrass Village, Longwater Village, and Bellmar Village which will
include a total of 8,350 homes upon completion. Collier Enterprises has been obtaining
Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) designation for the Town and Villages and are selling
portions of the developments to national home builders Lennar, Taylor Morrison, and
Forestar. The developments will preserve approximately 10,000 acres of environmental
lands.
Located east of Camp Keais Road is the proposed Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve
being developed by Barron Collier Companies. Located on more than 2,000 acres, the
property will include 225 single family homes on 259.6 acres, an 18-hole golf course,
clubhouse, shooting clay amenities, archery, fishing lakes, and 20 member-only cottages.
Located to the north of the Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve is Horse Trails Village
(SRA) also being developed by Barron Collier. It will consist of 1,770 acres in size and is
located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Oil Well Road and SR 29. The Village
will consists of 2,900 dwelling units, 153,700 square feet of commercial uses and 29,000
square feet of civic, governmental, and institutional uses according to the pre-application
meeting.
The Oil Well corridor is one of the last remaining areas in Collier County with tracts of land
available for large scale developments. The road network and infrastructure are sufficient
to accommodate future growth and with the success of Ave Maria, development to the east
has become a proven concept.

Commercial
The majority of the commercial development in this area is located along Main Street/SR 29
and New Market Road. The newest development is located near the intersection of Lake
Trafford Road and SR 29. This is where the majority of the franchise restaurants and
national companies are located. Small commercial businesses support the majority of
neighborhood needs. Small retail shops are about 50% owner occupied family businesses.
Commercial businesses run the gamut from ethnic restaurants, grocery, hardware, clothing,
furniture, and auto parts. Most of the commercial buildings are over 40 years old and are
legally nonconforming with current development standards. Redevelopment would
require larger setbacks; hence, gentrification and routine maintenance has allowed
buildings to exist beyond their economic and physical life expectancy. Many of the larger
businesses in the market area are agriculturally related and function as produce packing
and shipping operations that operate primarily during harvest season. These large
agricultural businesses provide most of the employment.
Immokalee also has a large industrial component that is located on the east side of town
were processing plants, packing houses and similar agri-industrial uses are located. The
Public Facilities category is composed of the Immokalee Airport, the University of Florida
Page 3829 of 14062

Carroll & Carroll 32
Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS) experimental farm, the Seminole Indian
reservation, schools, and government facilities.
The Seminole Casino Immokalee is 24 hour/7 days a week casino located along east side of
Immokalee Road as you enter into Immokalee. Gaming at the casino includes blackjack,
high paying slots, and live-action poker. In 2009 the casino received a $22 million
renovation. The casino now contains 75,600 square feet and a 750-seat outdoor pavilion for
music performances was also added. The casino also includes the Seminole Casino Hotel
which offers 19 suites along with 80 deluxe rooms.

According to the business summary report, the services, retail trade, and agriculture/mining
industries lead the business sector. The agriculture industry dominates this area and the
above report might not take into account the number of part time/seasonal employees. The
agriculture economy is primarily based on a combination of commodity prices and crop
yields. In other words, if the farmers are making money, so will the local and regional
businesses. Farming is always uncertain and usually has a pattern of a few exceptional
years to more years of marginal profit or worse. Over time the lean and rich years appear to
average out to a steady economy. Agricultural labor is the driving force behind the market
area. During peak harvest season (Oct-May) the immediate area is inundated by Mexican,
Guatemalan, and Haitian migrant populations requiring close proximity to local
employment or local crew bus pick-up points for field harvesting.
The Collier County School Board operates four elementary schools, one middle school and
one high school. These schools are located within walking distance of most of the urban
area and are easily assessable by those who require transportation by school bus. Also
located in the neighborhood is the Immokalee Technical Center. The Immokalee Technical
Center is a three-story, 90,000 square foot state of the art career center, with technical

education programs for high school students and adults. The center offers programs in
industrial engineering, health services, business technology, and human services.
MARKET AREA LIFE CYCLE
Market areas often pass through a four-stage life cycle of growth, stability, decline, and
revitalization.
• Growth – A period during which the market area gains public favor and acceptance.
• Stability – A period of equilibrium without marked gains or losses
• Decline – A period of diminishing demand
• Revitalization – A period of renewal, redevelopment, modernization and increasing
demand.
There has been strong growth in the Immokalee residential real estate market, especially in
Ave Maria which continues to be the number one selling single-family community in the
Naples-Ft Myers. Well located commercial land in Immokalee has also increased, but other
segments of the commercial market including agricultural packing/distribution facilities
appear to have remained flat for at least the past five years. Developers are also taking
positions by purchasing large tracts of land throughout the market taking advantage of the
population growth and the density benefits of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay.
Overall, the market area is considered to be in a period of growth.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the Immokalee community is primarily supported by Immokalee’s agri-
business. The success of future commercial development depends on the vitality of Florida
agriculture in a global economy. The outlook for the foreseeable future is always uncertain
with the volatility of agricultural markets and legislation on international trade. Future
growth of gaming, Ave Maria, and the proposed developments along Oil Well Road will
help to stabilize and diversify Immokalee’s economy.
On the other hand, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area of the market area, will continue to
grow. The Oil Well corridor is one of the last remaining areas in Collier County with tracts
of land available for large scale developments. The road network and infrastructure are
sufficient to accommodate future growth and with the success of Ave Maria, development
to the east has become a proven concept.

FUTURE LAND USE
Ordinance or Plan Collier County Growth Management Plan
Future Land Use Designation Open Area of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay District.
The south 107 acres are also located within a Habitat
Stewardship Area (HSA).
Purpose of Designation The purpose of this program is to encourage smart
growth patterns in rural areas of the county per the
Growth Management Plan. Collier County’s
objective is to create an incentive-based land use
overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier
County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay,
based on the principles of rural land stewardship.
The Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) is used to issue
designated Sending Area Stewardship credits to
property owners which may be used to entitle
Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) which can be in
the form of self-contained planned urban
developments in the RLSA.
This future land use designation allows such uses as
agriculture and related uses, essential services,
residential (maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per
5 acres), parks and open space, earth mining, etc.
The subject is currently identified within the open
area. It could be eligible for the Stewardship
Receiving Area (SRA) designation. Open areas not
developed as SRA’s and not protected by easements
remain under baseline agricultural zoning rules,
allowing agricultural uses, potential conditional
uses, and residential development at 1 unit per 5
acres. SRA’s developed as a Town or Village could
obtain a residential density of 1 to 4 dwelling units
per gross acre and a Hamlet could obtain a
residential density of ½ to 2 dwelling units per gross
acre.
The Larger Parcel (1,048.97 acres) would be eligible
to become designated as a Town. Towns are the
Page 3841 of 14062
6893A Report Property Information
Carroll & Carroll 44
largest and most diverse form of SRA, with a full
range of housing types and mix of uses. Towns have
urban level services and infrastructure that support
development that is compact, mixed use, human
scale, and provides a balance of land uses to reduce
automobile trips and increase livability. Towns shall
be not less than 1,000 acres or more than 4,000 acres
and are comprised of several villages and/or
neighborhoods that have individual identity and
character. Towns shall have a mixed-use town center
that will serve as a focal point for community
facilities and support services. Towns shall be
designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle
circulation by including an interconnected sidewalk
and pathway system serving all residential
neighborhoods. Towns shall have at least one
community park with a minimum size of 200 square
feet per dwelling unit in the Town
The Camp Keais Parcel/Swap Parcel (439.00 acres)
would be eligible to become designated as a Village.
Villages are primarily residential communities with
a diversity of housing types and mix of uses
appropriate to the scale and character of the
particular village. Villages shall be not less than 100
acres or more than 1,000 acres. Villages are
comprised of residential neighborhoods and shall
include a mixed-use village center to serve as the
focal point for the community’s support services and
facilities. Villages shall be designed to encourage
pedestrian and bicycle circulation by including an
interconnected sidewalk and pathway system
serving all residential neighborhoods. Villages shall
have parks or public green spaces within
neighborhoods. Villages shall include neighborhood
scaled retail and office uses, in a ratio as provided in
Policy 4.15. Villages are an appropriate location for a
full range of schools. To the extent possible, schools
and parks shall be located adjacent to each other to
allow for the sharing of recreational facilities. Design
criteria for Villages shall be included in the LDC
Stewardship District. To ensure that SRA residents
Page 3842 of 14062
6893A Report Property Information
Carroll & Carroll 45
have such areas proximate to their homes, open
space shall also comprise a minimum of 35% of the
gross acreage of an individual SRA Town, Village, or
those CRDs exceeding 100 acres.
Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs) protect listed
animal and plant species and their habitats. HSAs
are delineated on the Overlay Map and contain
approximately 40,000 acres. HSAs are privately
owned agricultural areas, which include both areas
with natural characteristics that make them suitable
habitat for listed species and areas without these
characteristics. These latter areas are included
because they are located contiguous to habitat to
help form a continuum of landscape that can
augment habitat values. The Overlay provides an
incentive to permanently protect HSAs by the
creation and transfer of Credits, resulting in the
elimination of incompatible uses and the
establishment of protection measures described in
Group 1 Policies. Not all lands within the delineated
HSAs are comparable in terms of their habitat value;
therefore the index shall be used to differentiate
higher value (X) = Plan Amendment by Ordinance
No. 2003-43 on September 9, 2003 Future Land Use
Element as of Ordinance No. 2017-48 adopted
December 12, 2017 123 from lower value lands for
the purpose of Overlay implementation. Analysis of
the Index Map Series shows that HAS lands score
within a range of 0.6 to 2.2. There are approximately
13,800 acres of cleared agricultural fields located in
HSAs. The average Index score of HSA designated
lands is 1.3, however, the average index score of the
naturally vegetated areas within HSAs is 1.5.
Agriculture will continue to be a permitted use and
its supporting activities will continue to be
permitted as conditional uses within FSAs and
HSAs.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXES
By statute, real estate in Florida is assessed at 100% of fair market value as of January 1st
of the tax year. Since annual tax assessments are based on sales from previous years,
depending upon market trends, assessed values can fall on either side of the current
market value estimate. The tax assessment is usually not a reliable indicator of market
value.

TRANSACTIONAL HISTORY
Sales History The Parent Tract was acquired by Collier
County from Barron Collier Partnership,
LLLP on April 20, 2021, for a consideration of
$13,553,111 or $12,920 per gross acre as
recorded in Official Records Book 5931, Page
2913 of the Public Records of Collier County,
Florida. The sale was verified with Austin
Howell, representative of the seller, and he
said the property was never formally listed
for sale. Collier County approached the
seller and negotiated the price. I also verified
the sale with Roosevelt Leonard,
representative of Collier County. He also
confirmed all of the sale details.
Due to the age of the sale and the upward
trend of the market, it is no longer an
indicator of current market value.
There have been no other transactions or
transfers of ownership in the previous three
years.

Owner of Record Collier County
Size The size of the property is based on a boundary survey
conducted by Stantec and dated October 10, 2019.
1,048.97 gross acres
A total of 134.81 acres (13%) are considered/designated
wetlands and 107 acres are located within an HSA (Habitat
Stewardship Area) (10%) and the remaining 807.16 acres
(77%) can be used/developed.
Easements No easements that are identified on the boundary survey.
Shape Irregular
Frontage The property fronts for 9,288 feet along the south side of Oil
Well Road.
Access The subject property is provided full-service access from Oil
Well Road. There are currently two access points from Oil
Well Road. Overall, access is average.
Topography Based on my physical inspection, the property is generally
level and at or slightly below road grade.
Ground Cover The majority of the property is cleared farmland utilized for
various agricultural purposes including vegetable fields,
sod, compost, and cattle. The scattered vegetation consists
of Pine trees, Cabbage Palms, Palmettos, and exotic
vegetation including Brazilian Pepper.
There is approximately 134.81 acres of designated wetlands
scattered throughout the property based on South Florida
Water Management District FLUCCS maps. Vegetation in
the wetland areas consists of Cypress, trees, Pine trees,
Cabbage Palms, and Brazilian Pepper.
Utilities Electricity, telephone, and TV cable are available. There are
power lines extending north/south near the eastern
boundary of the property that will need to be relocated by
the buyer to provide electricity to the properties to the

south.
The property is currently serviced by well and septic.
Ave Maria Utility Company is a privately owned and
operated potable water and sewer plant located within Ave
Maria. This would be the best option for the subject
property obtaining water and sewer service, but there are
no agreements to connect. Capacity was not verified by
Barron Collier Companies. Collier County requested that
the same assumptions be used for utilities as were
employed in the appraisal prepared for the 2021 purchase of
the Parent Tract from Barron Collier Companies. For the
purpose of this appraisal, I have assumed the Parent Tract
and the Swap Parcel will have access to utilities from Ave
Maria Utility Company.
Surrounding Land Uses The subject is located in outlying Collier County, in an area
that is continuing to develop. Located to the northwest of
the intersection of Camp Keais Road and Oil Well Road is
the Ave Maria master planned community. Located to the
north and west is agricultural land. Located to the south of
the subject are 5,868.7 acres which have been designated
and are part of the Stewardship Sending Area Credit
Agreement (SSA-10).
Located to the east of the subject is The Collier Rod and Gun
Club at the Preserve being developed by Barron Collier
Companies. Located on more than 2,000 acres, the property
will include 225 single family homes on 259.6 acres, an 18-

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
DEFINITION
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 7th Edition, published 2022 by the Appraisal
Institute, defines Highest and Best Use as:
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the
highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility,
and maximum productivity.
METHOD
There are four criteria that must be met in order for a use to be the highest and best use for a
given property. The highest and best use must be:
• Legally permissible.
• Physically Possible.
• Financially feasible.
• Maximally productive.
Ordinarily these criteria are considered sequentially, each step narrowing the range of
alternative uses being considered.
ANALYSIS
SITE AS THOUGH VACANT
Legally Permissible: Collier County designates this property as “A-MHO-RLSAO” – Rural
Agricultural District including a Mobile Home Overlay and Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay with a Future Land Use of Open Area of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay. The current zoning allows a maximum density of one residential unit per five
acres. The zoning ordinance and future land use are consistent in identifying the property
for residential uses or varying types of ancillary agricultural uses. A maximum of 210
residential units (0.20 units per acre) could be developed under the current future land use.
Given its overall location, physical characteristics, and frontage along Oil Well Road, the
likelihood of obtaining an SRA designation (Town or Village) on the property to a
residential or mixed-use (residential and commercial) is possible. The subject is currently
identified within the open area and could be eligible for the Stewardship Receiving Area
(SRA) designation and potentially developed as a Town. A Town allows a density of 1 to 4
developable units per gross acre. Density can be increased beyond the base density through
the affordable workforce housing density bonus or through the density blending provision,
per RLSA policy 4.7 in the FLUE of the GMP. The density will need to be obtained by
purchasing Stewardship Credits.
Page 3859 of 14062
6893A Report Parent Tract
Carroll & Carroll 62
The south 107 acres are also located within a Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA). The Overlay
provides an incentive to permanently protect HSAs by the creation and transfer of Credits.
According to the Future Land Use Element, HSA’s land scores within a range of 0.6 to 2.2
based on the Index Map Series. There are approximately 13,800 acres of cleared agricultural
fields located in HSAs. The average Index score of HSA designated lands is 1.3, however,
the average index score of the naturally vegetated areas within HSAs is 1.5. Therefore 139.1
Stewardship Credits could be obtained from the HSA. Additional credits can also be
obtained from the Wetland areas on the property.
Physically Possible: The physical location, shape/size, topography, and access
characteristics suggest some type of low-density residential development or mixed-use
development incorporating commercial type uses as required by the SRA designation. The
size is large enough to support a variety of development plans and potentials. I have
assumed the property will have access to utilities from Ave Maria Utility Company.
Additional uses include some type of agricultural, cattle grazing and ranching, or hunting
type use.
Financially Feasible: The financial feasibility of residential development continues to be
good especially the new construction market. The success of new development east of
Immokalee Road including Ave Maria, The Ranch at Orange Blossom, and Skysail, argues
that development is financially feasible. However, there are a number of proposed
residential units along Oil Well Road that the subject property will be competing with. The
four largest projects are the Town of Big Cypress, Rivergrass Village, Longwater Village,
and Bellmar Village will include a total of 8,350 homes upon completion. The proposed
Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve will include 225 single family homes and Horse
Trails Village is proposed to have 2,900 residential units. These six projects total 11,475
units in addition to units still be sold at Ave Maria and Skysail. In order to be financially
feasible, the developer of the subject property will need to be creative and develop a
product that does not compete directly with the other proposed developments.
Commercial development is required to be included in the SRA Village or Town
designation, however until these communities mature, there are not enough residential
development/population to support commercial facilities. Commercial development is not
financially feasible.
Maximally Productive: The maximally productive use is that the property obtains the
Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) Village or Town designation and develop as a low
density residential or mixed-use development consistent with the SRA designation.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROACHES
Only the sales comparison approach is appropriate for this vacant parcel.

Carroll & Carroll 63
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
INTRODUCTION
In the sales comparison approach, the subject property is compared with similar properties
that have sold recently or for which listing prices or offering prices are known. Data from
generally similar properties is used, and comparisons are made to demonstrate a probable
price at which the subject property would sell if offered on the market. This approach is
particularly strong when comparable sales data is plentiful and there is good conformity
among properties in the neighborhood.
Following is the procedure to be followed in developing this approach:
1. Research the market to gather information on sales, listings, and offers to purchase
properties similar to the subject.
2. Verify the information as to factual accuracy and arm's-length market considerations.
3. Identify relevant units of comparison and develop a comparative analysis for each
unit.
4. Compare the subject with comparable sale properties using elements of comparison
and adjust the sale price of each comparable appropriately.
5. Reconcile the various value indicators produced from the analysis of comparables into
a single value indication or a range of values.
The outline above is developed in detail on the following pages.
SALES DATA
A search was made for sales of land comparable to the subject site. The intention was to
find comparable sales in similar locations that offer similar functional utility. Six closed
sales were identified as the best available for analysis.
I am aware of two other large tracts of land that are under contract to be purchased by
Collier County. Approximately 150.00 acres of land located along 20th Street SE is under
contract for $4,015,000 or $26,767 per acre. The land area is considerably smaller, and it is
located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (northern most parcel contains 40.00
acres and is designated Neutral and the remining 110.00 acres are designated Sending). I
typically don’t incorporate government purchases because they are not purchased for an
economic use. Also due to the zoning/future land use/highest and best use differences, I
did not include this sale.
Page 3861 of 14062
6893A Report Parent Tract
Carroll & Carroll 64
I am also aware of the pending sale of the Williams Reserve at Lake Trafford located east of
Lake Trafford along the south side of Lake Trafford Road. Collier County is under contract
to purchase the 2,247 acres for $20,770,000 or $9,243 per acre. Approximately 153 acres of
the property is entitled for the development of approximately 336 residential units. The
majority of the property is zoned A-MHO, but approximately 50% of the property is
considered wetlands. Although the property is located within RLSA, it has various zonings,
future land uses, and considerably inferior physical characteristics due to the large amount
of wetlands and therefore it was not included in the analysis.
Price per acre of gross land area was developed as the unit of comparison, since that is the
unit best suited to the analysis, and the one most often utilized by local buyers, seller, and
brokers of land similar to the subject parcel.
Comparable land sales data is given on the following pages. Each comparable is identified
by a number which will be used for reference throughout the report. Each comparable is
identified on the location map immediately following this page.

DISCUSSION OF ADJUSTMENTS
Usually, comparable sale properties are not exactly like the subject property. If a typical
buyer would perceive the difference to be significant, then adjustment(s) must be made to
the comparable sales so that in the end each offers a realistic indication of value for the
subject. Adjusting comparable sales is a two-step process.
First, adjustments are made so that all of the comparable sales meet the standard of a
“market” transaction as outlined in the definition of market value. Customarily, the first
group of adjustments is made before the comparables are reduced to a common unit of
comparison. Included at this stage are adjustments to bring historic sales current to the
appraisal effective date.
The second group of adjustments is made after an appropriate unit of comparison is chosen.
These adjustments account for physical differences like location, physical characteristics and
size. Sometimes adjustment is required for differences in the permitted land use (zoning) or
in the availability of public service (infrastructure). When the adjustment process is
complete, the unit value indications are reconciled and converted into an estimate of value
for the subject.
REAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CONVEYED
This adjustment category is intended to account for the interest, benefits, and rights
inherent in the ownership of real estate. This category reflects the impact on value caused
by the fee simple versus the leased fee interest or the contract rent as opposed to market
rent.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
This adjustment category is intended to account for a variety of factors that might affect
the purchase price.
• Comparable 6 sold for a below market price and required an adjustment for conditions
of sale. The property was listed for $6,900,000 and was on the market 45 days. The
price was discounted 20% due to the cash offer and quick closing. Based on other
recent sales of similar properties, Comparable 6 sold for approximately 40% below
market and was adjusted upward accordingly.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
This category of adjustment is intended to account for the positive or negative contribution
to value of building improvements included with the sale of the land. Buildings that made
a positive contribution to the sale price require a negative adjustment. Buildings that were
Page 3872 of 14062
6893A Report Parent Tract
Carroll & Carroll 75
demolished and removed require a positive adjustment to account for demolition costs
which are treated as part of the purchase price.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
FINANCING
Adjustments in this category are intended to account for unusual terms of financing that
are not considered equivalent to cash or conventional financing.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
MARKET CHANGE
This adjustment is intended to account for changes in value due to the ebb and flow of
market forces over time.
Land values in the market are appreciating due to the demand for large tracts of vacant
land in Florida. The buyers of the comparable sales include a mix of owner-users and land
speculators. I was unable to find any sale/resales or matched paired sales to extract
market change rates.
I also consulted the Lay of The Land 2023 Market Report which reported that the average
per acre sale price for 100–500-acre ranch and recreational land sales throughout the State
of Florida increased 9% from 2022 to 2023 or an average monthly change rate of 0.75%. On
the other hand, the 2023 transaction volume for the large acreage market (500+ acres)
contracted from 2022 to 2023 and the average price per acre decreased from $6,665 to
$5,588 or a decrease of 16%.
The sales utilized in the report range from less than a month to almost 24 months old.
Based on the trend of per acre sales prices and the demand for land along the Oil Well
corridor, I applied a market change rate of 0.50% per month or 6.00% annually.
LOCATION/ACCESS/EXPOSURE
This category of adjustment reflects the impact on value caused by the advantages or
disadvantages of a given location. Below is a table of various locational characteristics
that were taken into consideration to determine the locational differences between each
comparable.

• Comparable 1 is located along Bermont Road in Punta Gorda. This is a more remote
location with fewer proposed developments nearby. This location is inferior to the
subject and was adjusted upward 10%.
Comparables 4 and 6 are located along Oil Well Road, east of SR 29. These are more
remote and inferior locations with limited supporting population. Comparables 4 and
6 were adjusted upward 30% each.
Comparable 5 is located north of Immokalee along SR 29, not in the path of future
development. This is also an inferior location and was adjusted upward 30%.
UTILITIES/INFRASTRUCTURE
This category of adjustment references the availability and adequacy of the road system,
the public was distribution system and the public wastewater collection system of each
comparable property as that compares with the same services available to the subject
property.
• Access to utilities is a major factor for developers and land speculators when
considering sites to purchase. The subject is assumed to have access to utilities. All six
comparables do not have access to utilities and each was adjusted upward 20% for
their inferior features.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/LAND USE
This category of adjustment accounts for differences in the potential land uses
(Comprehensive Plan) or in the specific uses (Zoning) to which a property could be
developed. Differences in value between the subject property and comparable sales might
exist because their highest and best uses are different as a result of government regulation
through zoning and land use controls.
• The subject is zoned “A-MHO-RLSAO” – Rural Agricultural District including a Mobile
Home Overlay and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay with a Future Land Use of
Open Area and Habitat Stewardship Area of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
Overlay. The majority of the comparable sales included various Agricultural zonings,
which are similar to the subject.
Comparable 2 was zoned RPD and approved and entitled for a residential
development at the time of sale. Comparable 2 was adjusted downward 20% for its
superior zoning.

6893A Report Swap Parcel
Carroll & Carroll 78
SIZE/SHAPE
This category of adjustment addresses the effect on the marketability of a given property,
because its physical size/shape might limit the physical utility, or because the size and
term of the financial investment required of an investor/speculator is such that the unit
price is reduced.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This category of adjustment reflects the physical aspects of a property that impact its use
for development. Physical characteristics included land elevation, soil conditions,
drainage characteristics, threatened or endangered plant and animal species on the
property and the extent and density of covering vegetation.
• All six comparables had some amount of wetlands and therefore no adjustments were
warranted. Wetlands in the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay can be a benefit due to
the fact that you can create an SSA and extract the density and transfer the credits to an
upland/developable area.
The subject had a similar percentage of useable area as the comparable sales. Due to the
amount of difference no adjustment was warranted.

RECAPITULATION OF DATA
After making the adjustments discussed above, the comparable sales indicated the
following unit values:
Comparables Price Per Gross Acre
of Land Area
1 $20,778
2 $17,480
3 $24,019
4 $24,370
5 $16,538
6 $19,707
Average $20,482
Median $20,242
Weighted Avg. $20,565
RECONCILIATION OF DATA
To arrive at a conclusion regarding the value of the subject site, the comparable sales and
their indications of value should be weighted according to the quality of each as a value
indicator.
Comparable 1 is the strongest indicator of value. It is the most similar to the subject and the
most recent sale. Comparable 1 was weighted 30%.
Comparables 2, 3, 4, and 5 are good indicators of value and were weighted 15% each.
Due to the conditions surrounding Comparable 6 and the inferior characteristics, it was
weighted 10%.
The range of unit value indications is from $16,538 to $24,370 per acre with an average of
$20,482 per acre and a median of $20,242 per acre. The weighting process discussed above
indicates a unit value of $20,565 per acre.
Based on the range of Comparables, I concluded to a unit value of $20,500 per acre.
ESTIMATE OF VALUE – PARENT TRACT
$20,500 per gross acre results in an indication of value for the Parent Tract as of January 8,
2025, of $21,503,885 (1,048.97 acres x $20,500 per acre), which rounds to $21,500,000.

SITE DESCRIPTION – SWAP PARCEL
Legal Description I was not provided with a legal description for the subject
property. According to Lisa Barfield, Review Appraiser with
Collier County, a legal description has not been created and
will not be provided until further direction is given from the
Collier County Board of County Commissioners.
The Swap Parcel is a portion of the Parent Tract.
Property ID# A portion of 00227280108
Owner of Record Collier County
Size I was not provided with a boundary survey and therefore I
relied on the total acreage provided by the Collier County
Transportation Management Services Department and
Barron Collier Companies.
439.00 Gross Acres
There are approximately 102 acres (23.2%)
considered/designated wetlands and 107 acres are located
within an HSA (Habitat Stewardship Area) (24.4%) and the
remaining 230 acres (52.4%) can be used/developed.
Easements I was not provided with a boundary survey, and it is
unknown if any easements exist. For the purpose of this
appraisal, I have assumed that there are no easements that
negatively impact the development potential of the property.
Shape Irregular
Frontage The property fronts for approximately 2,020 feet along the
south side of Oil Well Road.
Access The subject property is provided full-service access from Oil
Well Road. There is currently one access point from Oil Well
Road. Overall, access is average.
Topography Based on my physical inspection, the property is generally
level and at or slightly below road grade.
Ground Cover The majority of the property is cleared farmland utilized for
various agricultural purposes including vegetable fields, sod,
compost, and cattle. The scattered vegetation consists of
Pine trees, Cabbage Palms, Palmettos, and exotic vegetation
including Brazilian Pepper.
There are approximately 102 acres (23.2%) of designated
Page 3882 of 14062
6893A Report Swap Parcel
Carroll & Carroll 85
wetlands scattered throughout the property based on the
information provided by Collier County and Barron Collier.
Vegetation in the wetland areas consists of Cypress, trees,
Pine trees, Cabbage Palms, and Brazilian Pepper.
Utilities Electricity, telephone, and TV cable are available. There are
power lines extending north/south near the eastern
boundary of the property that will need to be relocated by
the buyer to provide electricity to the properties to the south.
The property is currently serviced by well and septic.
Ave Maria Utility Company is a privately owned and
operated potable water and sewer plant located within Ave
Maria. This would be the best option for the subject property
obtaining water and sewer service, but there are no
agreements to connect. Capacity was not verified by Barron
Collier Companies. Collier County requested that the same
assumptions be used for utilities as were employed in the
appraisal prepared for the 2021 purchase of the Parent Tract
from Barron Collier Companies. For the purpose of this
appraisal, I have assumed the Parent Tract and the Swap
Parcel will have access to utilities from Ave Maria Utility
Company.
Surrounding Land Uses The subject is located in outlying Collier County, in an area
that is continuing to develop. Located to the northwest of
the intersection of Camp Keais Road and Oil Well Road is
the Ave Maria master planned community. Located to the
north is agricultural land and to the west is the remainder of
the Parent Tract. Located to the south of the subject are
5,868.7 acres which have been designated and are part of the
Stewardship Sending Area Credit Agreement (SSA-10).
Located to the east of the subject is The Collier Rod and Gun
Club at the Preserve being developed by Barron Collier
Companies. Located on more than 2,000 acres, the property
will include 225 single family homes on 259.6 acres, an 18-
hole golf course, clubhouse, shooting clay amenities, archery,
fishing lakes, and 20 member-only cottages.

Although the Swap Parcel has a considerably amount of
wetlands and 107 acres are covered by an HSA, the highest
and best use is that the property obtains the Stewardship
Receiving Area (SRA) Village designation and develop as a
low density residential or mixed-use development consistent
with the SRA designation.
Site Improvements Barbwire fencing and multiple gates. The site improvements
are in average condition.
Improvements None

VALUE OF THE SWAP PARCEL
The market value of the fee simple interest of the Parent Tract was previously estimated via
the Sales Comparison Approach to have a unit value of $20,500 per acre. Although it is
smaller in size compared to the Parent Tract, no size adjustment was warranted. The Swap
Parcel has the same highest and best use.
It does have a considerably higher percentage of wetlands/HSA (48%) encompassing the
property. In the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay wetlands and HSA’s can be a benefit
due to the fact that you can create an SSA on these portions and extract the density and
transfer the credits to an upland/developable area on the property. However, the useable
portion of the property is only 209 acres or 48% which will limit the amount of developable
units/density you can physically fit on the property.
I analyzed studies in our files to determine the percentage difference of properties with
approximately 25% wetlands vs properties with approximately 50% wetlands to determine
the difference/the required adjustment between the comparable sales and the Swap Parcel
(and also how it compares to the Parent Tract). Properties with 50% wetlands typically sell
for 8% to 23% less than properties with 25% wetlands. The subject will likely be at the
lower end of the range due to the fact that only the useable area will be utilized and there
will not be additional costs associated with mitigating the wetlands. Comparables 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6 were all adjusted downward 10% due to their superior amount of upland area. On
the following page is the sales grid for the Swap Parcel.

VALUE OF THE REMAINDER PROPERTY
After the land swap, the Remainder Property will be reduced to 609.97 acres (1,048.97 –
439.00).
Although it is smaller in size compared to the Parent Tract, no size adjustment was
warranted. The Remainder Property has the same highest and best use, but it has a lower
percentage of wetlands/higher percentage of useable area. The remainder property has a
higher percentage of useable area compared to the comparables and therefore all six
comparables required an upward adjustment of 5%, which is consistent with the percentage
differences for wetlands in my job files.

SEVERANCE DAMAGES
Severance damages are calculated as the negative difference between the value of the
remainder property, as part of the whole, and the value of the remainder property, as
severed. When the value of the remainder property, as severed, is less than the value of the
remainder property, as part of the whole, the difference is the actual measurement of the
damages to the remainder property. When the value of the remainder property, as severed,
is greater than the value of the remainder property, as part of the whole, the difference is
not damage but is considered a benefit. Severance damages are calculated below.
SEVERANCE DAMAGES TO THE REMAINDER PROPERTY
Value of the Whole/Parent Tract $21,500,000

6893B Report Scope of Work
Carroll & Carroll 4
SCOPE OF WORK
All applicable approaches to value were developed and the value conclusion reflects all
known information about the subject property, market conditions, and available data.
The scope of work was:
• Reviewed aerial photographs, land use plans, the Land Development Code, the
Proposed Parcel Boundaries, a Phase I Environmental Assessment, Limited Soil
Sampling Report, and other documentation.
• Reviewed how the property relates to its neighborhood and to the broader market area
in development of an opinion of highest and best use.
• Researched vacant land comparable sales, listings, and pending sales.
• Developed the sales comparison approach.
• Estimated the market value of the fee simple estate.
• Prepared an appraisal report summarizing the appraisal assignment, the property
appraised, the application of the appraisal methodology, and the logical support for the
value conclusion.
Sources of market data included local and regional MLS systems, CoStar, LoopNet, public
records, and interviews with real estate brokers.

Carroll & Carroll 5
ESTATE APPRAISED
The estate appraised is the Fee Simple Absolute. For appraisal purposes Fee Simple
Absolute is synonymous with Fee Simple.
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Seventh Edition, published 2022 by the Appraisal
Institute, defines Fee Simple Estate as:
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
We consider easements, but only to the extent that they are known to us. Appraisal of the
fee simple means that an improved property is vacant and available to be put to its highest
and best use.

6893B Report Definition of Market Value
Carroll & Carroll 6
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
In United States tax law, the definition of Fair Market Value is found in the United States
Supreme Court decision in the Cartwright case:
The fair market value is the price at which the property would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell
and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
United States v. Cartwright, 411 U. S. 546, 93 S. Ct. 1713, 1716-17, 36 L. Ed. 2d 528, 73-1 U.S.
Tax Case. (CCH) ¶ 12,926 (1973) (quoting from U.S. Treasury regulations relating to Federal
estate taxes, at 26 C.F.R. sec. 20.2031-1(b)).
ASSUMED EXPOSURE TIME
The reasonable exposure time is assumed to have already occurred as of the appraisal
effective date. The assumed reasonable exposure time was between 9 and 12 months.

6893B Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 7
AREA INFORMATION
COLLIER COUNTY ANALYSIS
An analysis of geography, transportation, population, employment, income, and education
for Collier County is performed using data provided by Site to Do Business, Florida Office
of Economic & Demographic, United States Department of Labor, all recognized source(s).
GEOGRAPHY
Collier County is the most southerly county on Florida's west coast offering mainland
coastal development. Collier County is west of Ft. Lauderdale and south of Tampa. With
2,025 square miles of land area, it is the largest county in Florida. About 63% of the land
area is in public ownership, is set aside for environmental preservation, or is scheduled for
public land acquisition.
The region enjoys a climate that is classified as subtropical. Summers are relatively mild,
and winters are usually frost free. A hard freeze is a rarity. The climate, especially in winter,
is one that attracts and is enjoyable to most people.
The geography of the area runs generally northwest and southeast as indicated by the trend
of the coastline. Beaches extend from the northern county line south to Cape Romano and
then, as the coastline trends further to the southeast, beaches give over to mangrove islands
and swamps. Moving northeastward from the beaches, elevations increase very slowly.
Most of the county is less than 15 feet above mean sea level. Although changes in elevation
Page 3925 of 14062
6893B Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 8
are gradual, they are well defined by variations in vegetation. Much of the county is, or was
once, wetland. The once plentiful marine resources are largely depleted, but still provide
good sport fishing.
Population centers include the coastal communities of Naples, Marco Island and
Everglades/Chokoloskee. Immokalee, the single large interior community, is in north
Collier County and is the agricultural center of the region.
POPULATION
“The social forces studied by appraisers primarily relate to population characteristics. The
demographic composition of the population reveals the potential demand for real estate,
which makes the proper analysis and interpretation of demographic trends important in an
appraiser’s analysis.” The total population, it's composition by age and gender, and the rate
of household formation and dissolution strongly influence real property values. (The
Appraisal of Real Estate 14th Edition)
Collier County’s population has continued to increase year after year. The population has
increased only 0.1% as of 2022 from 2020. The population forecasts through 2027 calls for a
continued steady growth cycle with an estimated 4.4% population growth from 2022 to
2027.

Collier County is a popular retirement destination. As of 2022, 55.9% of the County’s
residents are over the age of 45. The 2027 forecasts depict an aging community with 56.5%
of the population 45 years of age or older.
EMPLOYMENT
Collier County is a largely service based economy with 32.1% of the employees in the
leisure, hospitality, education, and health service industries and 26% in professional,
business, financial and other services. Trade, transportation, & utilities along with
government jobs account for 36.4% of the County’s employees. Industries such as natural
resources/mining, construction, and manufacturing make up only 5.5% of the market.

The unemployment rate in Collier County exceeded the state average by a slight margin in the
years 2015 and 2016. The unemployment rate then declined through 2020 as the economy
improved and, until recently, Collier County’s unemployment rates decreased more rapidly
than the state.

INCOME
Collier County’s per capita income and median household income levels are higher than
state statistics. The most substantial difference between Collier County and the state is the
large percentage difference in household incomes above $100,000 where Collier County
exceeds the state by over 12%. Collier County's percentage household incomes ranging
from $25,000 to $74,999 is slightly lower than the percentage of household incomes in the
state, only mirroring that of the state at $75,000 to $99,000, and from there exceeding the
percentage of the state. Income levels vary greatly within different areas of Collier County,
and so will be discussed in greater detail in the Market Area descriptions.
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation system reflects local geography, population densities and the primary
motivators of tourism, service industry employment, the construction industry, agriculture,
and leisure activities.
ROADS
The earliest roads were coastal, extending from north to south in the early twentieth century
with the first settlers. Principal among these is US-41, commonly referred to as the Tamiami
Trail because it was built to connect Tampa and Miami. Where it passes through the coastal
community US-41 is a four or six lane divided highway with landscaped medians, curb and
gutter, streetlights and often with concrete sidewalks. The Trail is the principal coastal
arterial and one that defines several important boundaries. Often there is a noticeable land
value difference east and west of US-41 because the affluent coastal population prefers to
shop and trade close to home. As the highway turns southeast from downtown Naples
toward Miami the Trail defines the boundary of the coastal management zone which affects
development densities and storm evacuation requirements. The eastern segment of US -41
is a designated national scenic highway popular with tourists, especially during the winter
season as they seek adventure in the Everglades.
A system of asphalt surfaced arterials, major collectors, minor collectors, and neighborhood
streets extend into the urban area east and west from US-41. North-south arterials and
major collectors are established about one mile apart. From west to east, these include
Goodlette-Frank Road, Airport-Pulling Road, Livingston Road, Santa Barbara Boulevard
and Collier Boulevard. The east-west grid is spaced about two miles apart; from north to
south being Immokalee Road (CR-864), Vanderbilt Beach Road (CR-862), Pine Ridge Road
(CR-896), Golden Gate Parkway (CR-886), Radio Road (CR-856), Davis Boulevard (SR-84),
and Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR-864). Within the urban area all of these are at least 4
lane divided highways.
East of Collier Boulevard the road system reflects the economies of scale of Golden Gate
Estates subdivision (the Estates) where 102 square miles of rural subdivision is supported
by a grid system of paved and unpaved 2 lane streets, with 2 and 4 lane asphalt surfaced
Page 3929 of 14062
6893B Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 12
major collectors. Golden Gate Boulevard, a 4-lane divided road for five of its eleven miles
east of CR-951, is the principal east-west collector. Everglades Boulevard (2 lane and
asphalt surfaced) is the north-south major collector extending south from Immokalee Road
14 miles to the grade separation at I-75 where it continues into the Picayune Strand State
Forest. Most of the neighborhood streets in Golden Gate Estates are asphalt. Collier
County is planning to extend east-west collectors through the Estates along the alignment of
Vanderbilt Beach Road and somewhere south of Golden Gate Boulevard. A north-south
connection is also planned from the eastern terminus of White Boulevard (Pine Ridge Road)
north to Golden Gate Boulevard.
Interstate highway 75 (I-75) was extended from north to south through Collier County in
the mid-1980s along a flood-proof route about five miles inland. Directly east of the City of
Naples I-75 joins the original alignment of State Road 84 (Alligator Alley) connecting with
Florida's east coast at Ft. Lauderdale. The coastal community I-75 interchanges are spaced
three to four miles apart at Immokalee Road (CR-864), Pine Ridge Road (CR-896), Golden
Gate Parkway (CR-886), and at Collier Boulevard/Davis Boulevard (CR-951/SR-84). Twenty-
one miles east of the coastal community is an interchange at State Road 29; the last
interchange in Collier County. Collier County and the FDOT continue to study the
feasibility of an interchange at Everglades Boulevard.
The advent of I-75 signaled a change in the relationship of Collier County to the rest of
Florida and the United States. While US-41 was the only north-south arterial, Collier
County was dominated by the conservative mid-western influences of seasonal residents
and somewhat isolated from the larger urban areas of Florida. After the late 1980s, road
access to Collier was made much more convenient to the northeast via connections with I -4
and I-95. This had the effect of broadening Collier’s market exposure and it stimulated
growth. The extension of I-75 south into Dade County promoted better access for European
tourists and made Collier County transient lodging attractive for east coast weekenders.
Strategic connections exist where Collier Boulevard and CR-92 extend south and west from
US-41 providing access to the City of Marco Island from the greater Naples area and from
Florida's east coast, respectively. State Road 29 connects the southwest Florida agricultural
center of Immokalee with points north, with the Naples coastal community via CR-846,
with the Ft. Myers coastal community via SR-82, and with US-41 at Everglades City which
is the western gateway to Everglades National Park and the 10,000 Islands region of
Collier's southwest coast.
The road transportation system is well planned, well maintained, and operating at
acceptable capacity. Ambitious road construction projects undertaken in anticipation of
growth projections and funded by impact fees have caught up with development. The road
system reflects Collier's position at the southerly limit of development on Florida's west
coast.

MASS TRANSIT
Collier Area Transit (CAT), operated by Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes
Department, provides inexpensive alternative transportation throughout the county linking
major employment centers of Naples with Marco Island and Immokalee. There are several
circulation routes with stops at the County government complex, hospitals, and major
shopping establishments. The system accommodates bicycle transport and personal items.
The same County department administers the Collier Area Para Transit system which
provides subsidized transportation services for the disabled and economically
disadvantaged.
This is a successful and growing system that connects people with jobs, essential services,
and shopping while reducing transportation costs and road congestion.
AIRPORTS
Collier County is supported by a system of five public airports. Southwest Florida
International Airport (RSW) is located in Lee County 25 miles north of Naples; a 45-minute
drive via I-75 from the Collier center of population. This facility serves the five county
southwest Florida regions offering domestic and international air carrier service. It is
modern, convenient, and has planned expansion to keep up with regional growth.
Naples Municipal Airport (APF) owned by the City of Naples and operated by the
independently constituted Naples Airport Authority which derives its revenue principally
from fuel sales. This small airport (about 1 sq. mi.) is located one mile east of downtown
Naples. It serves the coastal community and is especially convenient to affluent residents
who own private aircraft, to the corporate convention business of the large beachfront
hotels, and to essential services like mosquito control, Emergency Medical Services (EMS),
the Sheriff’s office, and private air ambulance services. The two paved runways (5/23 @
5,290’ and 14/32 @ 5,000’) will support jets including the G4 and Challenger series. Naples
airport is tower controlled and fully certified for commercial operations and is home to
several aircraft charter services and flight training schools. In 2005, Naples Municipal
Airport accommodated 163,434 aircraft operations, a record high. Annual operations
decreased by nearly 50% from 2005 to 2011. The total operations for 2020 were 104,479,
which is a 5.2% increase from the previous year. Due to its downtown location, Naples
airport has restricted operations of the noisiest jet aircraft and is at the leading edge of noise
abatement measures.
The Collier County Airport Authority owns and operates airports at Marco Island, in
Everglades City, and at Immokalee. These are primarily funded through fuel sales and
hangar leases. Marco Island Airport (MKY) is a very small (64.47 acres) general aviation
facility on the mainland four miles northeast of Marco Island. The single paved runway
(17/35 @ 5,000') will support light jet traffic. Hanger and ramp space is very limited. Fuel is
Page 3931 of 14062
6893B Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 14
available. This airport is convenient to Marco Island residents and to the corporate
convention business of the Island hotels. Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) is one mile
east of Immokalee and 35 miles by road northeast of Naples. This 2 square mile airport has
two paved 5,000-foot runways (18/36 and 09/27) a third diagonal runway is now used as a
weekend drag racing strip. The airport is in the Florida Rural Enterprise Zone and a HUB
Empowerment Zone. A 60-acre zone in and around the airport is a designated Foreign
Trade Zone. To date, the economic potential of this airport is largely unrealized. However,
the field is active as a training destination for coastal-based flight schools, it hosts aerial
firefighting and crop-dusting operations, and it bases numerous private aircraft. The
Everglades Airpark (X01) is a light duty general aviation facility of 29.14 acres that is within
walking distance of downtown Everglades City. The single paved strip (15/33 @ 2,400')
supports itinerant coastal traffic and half a dozen-based aircraft. Fuel, a comfortable pilot
center and bicycles are available.
The aviation community Is well supported. The greater Naples area is the beneficiary of the
winter season influx of corporate executives and affluent individuals who can afford luxury
private jet travel.
MARINE TRANSPORTATION
There is no deep-water port and no commercial marine activity other than that associated
with commercial fishing, charter sport fishing, and the marine towing services that support
the pleasure boat industry. The controlling depth to the municipal dock in Naples Bay is six
feet at mean low water. The US Coast Guard maintains a dredged and well-marked
intracoastal waterway from the head of Naples Bay to Coon Key southeast of Marco Island.
Local geography requires vessels northbound from Naples to transit 30 miles of the Gulf of
Mexico before returning to the sheltered intracoastal system at Sanibel Island. According to
the Marine Industries Association of Collier County, as of early 2018 there were 57,685
registered vessels in Southwest Florida. In 2022, Florida registered over 1 million
recreational boats. Seasonally, excursions from Marco Island to Key West and from Ft.
Myers Beach to Key West are scheduled daily.
EDUCATION
The Collier County School District provides public education to about 47,000 students
encompassing grades K-12 and employs almost 7,000 people of which 3,200 are teachers.
The district has 51 public schools consisting of 31 elementary, 10 middle, 8 high schools, one
K-12 (Everglades City School), and 1 virtual school. There are also 12 alternative school
programs and two technical colleges, Lorenzo Walker Technical College, and Immokalee
Technical College, which offer short term and long-term training to adults and high school
students.
Between 2015 and 2020, the school district had an overall population growth of more than
6,000 students but recently student population growth has leveled off and slightly
Page 3932 of 14062
6893B Report Area Analysis
Carroll & Carroll 15
decreased. The student population is a diverse culture. 55% of students live in homes where
English is not the first language. Students come from 76 different countries of origin and
speak 104 different languages.
Collier County School District continues to receive an “A” grade by the State of Florida
Department of Education. The district and all schools are accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Council. Collier County is the leader in Florida in
educational technology. It is also a leader in advanced educational programs, offering dual
enrollment and Advance Placement courses, Cambridge Advanced International Certificate
of Education and Laureate diplomas. Career training is available through 32 career
academies.
In addition to the public-school system, there are numerous private schools throughout the
county. Approximately, 16% of all K-12 students in Collier County are educated in private
schools.
Collier County is also home to several colleges and accredited universities. Three colleges
have campuses in Collier County: Ave Maria University, Keiser University and Florida
Southwestern State College (formerly Edison Community College). Ave Maria University is
a private catholic university that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs
including a law school has around 1,245 students. Keiser University is a private university
that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs to over 17,990 students throughout
20 campuses in Florida and an online learning program. Florida Southwestern State College
with campuses in Naples, Punta Gorda, and Ft. Myers, offers both two-year and four-year
degree programs for 14,714 students. Formerly located in Naples, now in Fort Myers,
Hodges University is a private four-year college that offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees
in 20 disciplines for around 1,676 students. Nearby Florida Gulf Coast University (located
in southern Lee County) is one of the state's fastest growing institutions and home to over
16,000 students.
CONCLUSION
At the southerly limit of urban development on Florida's west coast, Collier County offers
the climate, natural resources, and sporting opportunities to support a superb retirement
community. The quality of infrastructure, schools, and social services is what one would
expect of such an area. We are experiencing a surge in new development projected to take
us through the next several years. In the long term, the attractions of the climate and
location, and the stability of fixed-account affluence promise continuing prosperity
although probably without the strong emphasis on new development.

MARKET AREA
Market Area is defined as:
“The geographic region from which a majority of demand comes and in which the
majority of competition is located.” (The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal 7th Edition)
“A market area is defined in terms of the market for a specific category of real estate
and thus is the area in which alternative, similar properties effectively compete with the
subject property in the minds of probable, potential purchasers and users.” (The
Appraisal of Real Estate 15th Edition)
A market area includes those surrounding land uses which impact the value of a property
and it can encompass one or more neighborhoods or districts. An appraiser focuses on the
market area in analyzing subject property value influences.
BOUNDARIES
The subject property is located within the Immokalee area. For appraisal purposes, the
market area boundaries are shown below:
➢ North Collier/Hendry County Line
➢ South Oil Well Road
➢ East Collier/Hendry County Line
➢ West Collier/Lee County Line

Introduction
The property being appraised lies within the boundaries of the Immokalee Planning
Community which is a 26 square mile area centered on the unincorporated community of
Immokalee. Immokalee is in north central Collier County approximately 25 miles east of
the Gulf of Mexico, six miles south of the Collier County-Hendry County line and 18 miles
north of I-75. The Immokalee area is home to Lake Trafford, which is the largest lake in
Collier County encompassing 1,500 acres.
At the county's formation in 1923, Immokalee was the only non-coastal settlement. Today it
remains the only interior community of considerable size. Immokalee was fairly isolated
from the coastal area until the Immokalee Road (CR-846) was rebuilt and resurfaced in
1955-56. With major improvements to the transportation system, Immokalee became a
thriving center of ranching, farming, and lumbering.
Immokalee is the agricultural center of an area that includes parts of Collier, Lee, Glades
and Hendry counties. The economy is dominated by the agricultural industry which
employs over a third of the working population in ranching, truck farms and citrus. This
industry has made Immokalee the leading domestic producer of winter vegetables for the
United States. Most of the land and agricultural business is vested in a few large corporate-
owned enterprises.
Environmental Influences
This area is desired because of mild winter weather and easy access to miles of beaches.
The subtropical weather allows for year-round recreational opportunities. Boating and
swimming are popular activities and boating is supported for seasonal residents and
tourists by local marinas and charter boats. Bicycling, walking, and jogging are supported
by an extensive network of connected biking and walking paths. Collier County has more
golf courses per capita than most areas in the United States.
Development has occurred in such a way that the open-space and lush landscaping give
the appearance of a well-manicured, tropical paradise.
Governmental Influences
This market area is governed by Collier County Board of County Commissioners which
serves as chief legislative body and five constitutional officers: sheriff, clerk of courts, tax
collector, supervisor of elections, and property appraiser. County government is managed
by a strong county manager structure. Collier County provides services which range from
average to high quality. However, Collier County is known for being a difficult county for
building and development. The tax burden in Collier County is lower than the national
average.
Page 3935 of 14062
6893B Report Market Area
Carroll & Carroll 18
County government has zoning and comprehensive plan ordinances (Immokalee Area
Master Plan) designed to protect the character and values of property; to protect and
enhance economic development; and to maintain and enhance the attractive nature of the
area.
Public services include fire protection, solid waste disposal, potable water, sanitary sewer
service and storm water drainage. Public/private companies proved adequate services for
electricity, cable, and internet. Community support facilities such as schools, parks,
churches, shopping, and places of employment are all located within this market area.
Collier County Sheriff Department provides full range of services for Collier County.
This market area is served by several major roadways including Immokalee Road (CR 846),
State Road 29, State Road 82, and Oil Well Road.
Immokalee Road (CR 846) is a 6-lane, divided, east-west arterial highway connecting the
north coastal community with north, interior Collier County and ultimately with the
regional agricultural center of Immokalee. East of the I-75 interchange, Immokalee Road has
been widened to six lanes as far as the Orangetree subdivision at Oil Well Road. The
remaining ±16 miles to Immokalee are a two-lane asphalt road that is heavily traveled and
dangerous due to morning and evening rushes mixing with heavy truck traffic. The
extension of four lanes on to Immokalee is not in the current 5-year plan. This is the
County's northernmost relevant east/west arterial. Development along Immokalee Road is
clustered almost exclusively west of Collier Boulevard at the major intersection of Collier
Boulevard, Interstate I-75, Airport Road and Tamiami Trail. Development consists of
single/multi-family residential, as well as office and retail uses.
State Road 82 is two/four land arterial road extending from US-41/Cleveland Avenue in
Downtown Fort Myers and extending east 29 miles until it ends at State Road 29. The road
serves the City of Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and the Immokalee area. Development varies
from intense commercial development in the Fort Myers area to farmlands/wetlands as it
approaches State Road 29.
Oil Well Road is a primarily 4-lane east-west asphalt paved road extending east from
Immokalee Road approximately 10 miles to the entrance of Ave Maria. Development along
this road begins with a mixture of single-family residential near Immokalee Road and
gradually changes to open farmland.
State Road 29 is the principal highway through Immokalee. These two lanes, asphalt
surfaced, highway runs south from Immokalee to Everglades City in the Ten Thousand
Islands and north from Immokalee to La Belle in Hendry County. State Road 82 intersects
Page 3936 of 14062
6893B Report Market Area
Carroll & Carroll 19
State Road 29 north of Immokalee providing access into the City of Fort Myers. The state
road system leading into Immokalee is in good condition.
The Immokalee urban area traffic network is focused on Main Street (State Road 29) as it
passes from east to west through the center of town and then turns north toward LaBelle.
Immokalee Road (CR-846) from Naples enters south Immokalee, turns east joining Main
Street, then continues into the agricultural areas of Hendry County about 8 miles east of
Immokalee. Asphalt surfaced, 2-lane local collectors consist of New Market Road/Westclox,
a northwest-southeast neighborhood collector through the heart of the agricultural market
area and into the northwest residential neighborhoods, Immokalee Drive, an east-west
neighborhood collector serving developing residential districts west of SR-29 and Lake
Trafford Road, a medium collector connecting the northwest Immokalee commercial district
on SR-29 with residential neighborhoods and the Lake Trafford recreational area three miles
west. Local streets, sometimes asphalt paved and sometimes not, are typically laid out on a
grid pattern. Connectivity is fairly good, but the community remains segmented by the road
system.
Public transportation is provided by a county transit bus service.
Social Influences
The Immokalee market area ranges from planned developments to mostly undeveloped
land. This area remains as one of the last areas in Collier County with large tracts that are
developable. Most are still being used for agricultural purposes, but Collier County has
designated much of this land as Rural Lands Stewardship area, promoting future growth.
The purpose of this program is to encourage smart growth patterns in rural areas of the
county per the Growth Management Plan. Collier County’s objective is to create an
incentive-based land use overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier County Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, based on the principles of rural land stewardship. The
Stewardship Send Area (SSA) is used to issue designated Sending Area Stewardship credits
to property owners which may be used to entitle Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) which
can be in the form of self-contained planned urban developments in the RLSA. This area
has grown considerably in the past 10 years with the growth of Ave Maria.
US Census Bureau, Esri forecasts, 2024 population is 41,945 with a projected growth to
50,369 (20%% growth) by 2029, which will mainly be attributable to the growth and
development of Ave Maria and the proposed Towns and Villages along Oil Well Road. The
population also nearly doubles during the winter months in Immokalee due to agricultural
seasonality. This increase occurs during the winter when the harvest season for vegetables
and citrus is at its peak.
Page 3937 of 14062

Carroll & Carroll 20
The median age in the Immokalee market area is 33.2, significantly lower than the county
average of 53.7. Only 23.5% of the population is 55 and older and 39.8% are younger than
25.

Economic Influences
This area’s income levels are considerably lower than the County’s average. The average
household income in 2024 was $91,977, which is approximately 32.1% lower than the
county’s average household income of $135,508. In the subject market area only 30.6% of
the households have annual incomes greater than $100,000, compared to the county figure
of 43.1%. On the other hand, 25.1% of households have average household incomes of less
than $35,000. The economy of rural Southwest Florida has been and continues to be based
primarily on agriculture, which has not kept pace with job growth and income levels
throughout the state of Florida. Rural Florida continues to have lower earned income,
higher unemployment, lower property values and fewer opportunities for employment.
The median home value in the market area is $408,613 which is considerably lower than the
County’s average home value of $604,707. However, the median home value has increased
substantially due to the overall market conditions and the amount of new residential
products in Ave Maria and Skysail. The total number of housing units in the market area is
12,513, of which, 64.6% are owner occupied, 35.4% renter occupied.
Development trends:
Residential
Residential development density varies from less than one unit per 10 acres in agricultural
districts, to as high as eight units per acre in the high-density residential areas in
Immokalee. The Immokalee area of housing diversity ranging from large ranch style homes
to low-income housing. In the immediate Immokalee area, the density of residential
development is relatively high and there are many substandard structures. Other parts of
the market area include acreage homesites and the planned development of Ave Maria. The
Town of Ave Maria is an entire town including a University. Ave Maria is accessible from
both Oil Well Road and Camp Keais Road. The campus and town are 30 miles from Naples
and just 10 miles from Immokalee. Ave Maria totals about 5,000 acres, of which nearly 20%
has been designated as the University campus. When completed, the Town will contain
some 11,000 residential dwellings in a wide variety of price ranges and neighborhoods.
Residential units include rental apartments, condominiums, starter homes, and estate
homes.
Over the past 10+ years there has been a residential boom in Ave Maria ranking it as the #18
Top Selling Master Planned Community in the United States. Ave Maria has sold more
than 5,200 new homes since the development first opened. For the year 2024, Ave Maria
reported 600 new home sales ranking it as the top development in Collier County. Ave
Maria currently has four national home builders including, Del Webb, CC Homes, Pulte
Homes, and Lennar. There are a total of 75 floor plans between the builders with prices
ranging from the high $200s to $800s.
Page 3941 of 14062

Carroll & Carroll 24
The goal of the University is to become the major Catholic University in the south, with
some 5,000 graduate and undergraduate students. Also, within Ave Maria is the Arthrex
Commerce Park. Arthrex, Inc. is a world-renowned medical company. Their campus is
currently designed with a 355,870 square foot manufacturing facility with a 55,027 square
foot finishing building situated on a 35.88-acre site. Dialum, a Chilean based glass
manufacturer recently purchased a 10-acre site and plans to construct a 100,000 square foot
manufacturing facility within the park. The Arthrex Commerce Park will eventually
encompass 200 acres to accommodate future growth.
The newest residential development in the market area is SkySail, which is being developed
by Neal Communities. SkySail is a 1,500 single-family home community located on 642
acres located just east of Everglades Boulevard along Oil Well Road. The development has
13 different floor plans with prices starting in the mid-$400,000 to over $700,000.
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area of the market area (the Oil Well corridor) has many
residential developments in the planning stages. On the following pages are maps
depicting the proposed developments within the RLSA. The four largest projects are the
Town of Big Cypress, Rivergrass Village, Longwater Village, and Bellmar Village which will
include a total of 8,350 homes upon completion. Collier Enterprises has been obtaining
Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) designation for the Town and Villages and are selling
portions of the developments to national home builders Lennar, Taylor Morrison, and
Forestar. The developments will preserve approximately 10,000 acres of environmental
lands.
Located east of Camp Keais Road is the proposed Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve
being developed by Barron Collier Companies. Located on more than 2,000 acres, the
property will include 225 single family homes on 259.6 acres, an 18-hole golf course,
clubhouse, shooting clay amenities, archery, fishing lakes, and 20 member-only cottages.
Located to the north of the Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve is Horse Trails Village
(SRA) also being developed by Barron Collier. It will consist of 1,770 acres in size and is
located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Oil Well Road and SR 29. The Village
will consists of 2,900 dwelling units, 153,700 square feet of commercial uses and 29,000
square feet of civic, governmental, and institutional uses according to the pre-application
meeting.
The Oil Well corridor is one of the last remaining areas in Collier County with tracts of land
available for large scale developments. The road network and infrastructure are sufficient
to accommodate future growth and with the success of Ave Maria, development to the east
has become a proven concept.

Commercial
The majority of the commercial development in this area is located along Main Street/SR 29
and New Market Road. The newest development is located near the intersection of Lake
Trafford Road and SR 29. This is where the majority of the franchise restaurants and
national companies are located. Small commercial businesses support the majority of
neighborhood needs. Small retail shops are about 50% owner occupied family businesses.
Commercial businesses run the gamut from ethnic restaurants, grocery, hardware, clothing,
furniture, and auto parts. Most of the commercial buildings are over 40 years old and are
legally nonconforming with current development standards. Redevelopment would
require larger setbacks; hence, gentrification and routine maintenance has allowed
buildings to exist beyond their economic and physical life expectancy. Many of the larger
businesses in the market area are agriculturally related and function as produce packing
and shipping operations that operate primarily during harvest season. These large
agricultural businesses provide most of the employment.
Immokalee also has a large industrial component that is located on the east side of town
were processing plants, packing houses and similar agri-industrial uses are located. The
Public Facilities category is composed of the Immokalee Airport, the University of Florida

Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS) experimental farm, the Seminole Indian
reservation, schools, and government facilities.
The Seminole Casino Immokalee is 24 hour/7 days a week casino located along east side of
Immokalee Road as you enter into Immokalee. Gaming at the casino includes blackjack,
high paying slots, and live-action poker. In 2009 the casino received a $22 million
renovation. The casino now contains 75,600 square feet and a 750-seat outdoor pavilion for
music performances was also added. The casino also includes the Seminole Casino Hotel
which offers 19 suites along with 80 deluxe rooms.

According to the business summary report, the services, retail trade, and agriculture/mining
industries lead the business sector. The agriculture industry dominates this area and the
above report might not take into account the number of part time/seasonal employees. The
agriculture economy is primarily based on a combination of commodity prices and crop
yields. In other words, if the farmers are making money, so will the local and regional
businesses. Farming is always uncertain and usually has a pattern of a few exceptional
years to more years of marginal profit or worse. Over time the lean and rich years appear to
average out to a steady economy. Agricultural labor is the driving force behind the market
area. During peak harvest season (Oct-May) the immediate area is inundated by Mexican,
Guatemalan, and Haitian migrant populations requiring close proximity to local
employment or local crew bus pick-up points for field harvesting.
The Collier County School Board operates four elementary schools, one middle school and
one high school. These schools are located within walking distance of most of the urban
area and are easily assessable by those who require transportation by school bus. Also
located in the neighborhood is the Immokalee Technical Center. The Immokalee Technical
Center is a three-story, 90,000 square foot state of the art career center, with technical

education programs for high school students and adults. The center offers programs in
industrial engineering, health services, business technology, and human services.
MARKET AREA LIFE CYCLE
Market areas often pass through a four-stage life cycle of growth, stability, decline, and
revitalization.
• Growth – A period during which the market area gains public favor and acceptance.
• Stability – A period of equilibrium without marked gains or losses
• Decline – A period of diminishing demand
• Revitalization – A period of renewal, redevelopment, modernization and increasing
demand.
There has been strong growth in the Immokalee residential real estate market, especially in
Ave Maria which continues to be the number one selling single-family community in the
Naples-Ft Myers. Well located commercial land in Immokalee has also increased, but other
segments of the commercial market including agricultural packing/distribution facilities
appear to have remained flat for at least the past five years. Developers are also taking
positions by purchasing large tracts of land throughout the market taking advantage of the
population growth and the density benefits of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay.
Overall, the market area is considered to be in a period of growth.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the Immokalee community is primarily supported by Immokalee’s agri-
business. The success of future commercial development depends on the vitality of Florida
agriculture in a global economy. The outlook for the foreseeable future is always uncertain
with the volatility of agricultural markets and legislation on international trade. Future
growth of gaming, Ave Maria, and the proposed developments along Oil Well Road will
help to stabilize and diversify Immokalee’s economy.
On the other hand, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area of the market area, will continue to
grow. The Oil Well corridor is one of the last remaining areas in Collier County with tracts
of land available for large scale developments. The road network and infrastructure are
sufficient to accommodate future growth and with the success of Ave Maria, development
to the east has become a proven concept.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Address Immokalee Road
Immokalee, FL 34142
Legal Description I was not provided with a legal description for the subject
property. According to Lisa Barfield, Review Appraiser
with Collier County, a legal description has not been
created and will not be provided until further direction is
given from the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners.
Legal descriptions for the three parcels are included in the
addendum of the report.
Property ID# All of Parcel#00137760103 and a portion of 00137640003 and
00138120001
Owner of Record Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP and Silver Strand III, LLC
Size I was not provided with a boundary survey and therefore I
relied on the total acreage provided by the Collier County
Transportation Management Services Department and
Barron Collier Companies.
439.00 Gross Acres
Wetlands and waterbodies encompass approximately 69
acres or 15.7% of the property and therefore approximately
370 acres or 84.3% of the property can be used/developed.
Easements I was not provided with a boundary survey, and it is
unknown if any easements exist.
For the purpose of this appraisal, I have assumed that there
are no easements that negatively impact the development
potential of the property.
According to a letter from Barron Collier, they plan to create
an agreement to maintain any pumps or water management
berms within the subject property until Collier County
proceeds with development plans for the parcel and
necessary permit modifications are initiated. This
agreement should not negatively impact the property since
it will end once development commences.

Frontage The subject fronts for approximately 7,392 feet or 1.40 miles
along the east side if Immokalee Road and for
approximately 575 feet along the south side of Stockade
Road. The exposure is average to good.
Access The subject property is provided full-service access from
Immokalee Road with one access point. The subject can
also be accessed from Stockade Road. Overall, access is
average.
Topography Based on my physical inspection, the property is generally
level and at road grade.
Ground Cover The majority of the property is cleared and previously
operated as a citrus grove. The northwest corner of the
property is in its native state and covered in mostly
wetlands. There are also isolated wetlands scattered around
the property as well as an 18.00-acre manmade lake for
irrigating the citrus trees located near the southwest corner
of the property.
The wetlands and waterbodies encompass approximately 69
acres or 15.7% of the property and therefore approximately
370 acres or 84.3% of the property is useable.
Utilities The full range of public utilities including sewer, water,
electricity, telephone and TV cable are available. A
significant portion of the property (north 267 acres) is
located within the Immokalee Water Sewer District.
According to Gary C. Ferrante, PE, Team Leader with
Weston & Sampson, there is an existing 12” water main that
runs along Stockade Road. Adequate water capacity exists
to support a 1,068-unit development (267 acres x 4.00 units
per acre). There is also an existing small lift station and 4”
force main that serves the jail complex. Based on the flow
values calculated above for the proposed development, the
existing lift station and force main would not be able to
serve the proposed development. Therefore, a new larger
capacity lift station with a 12” force main would be
necessary to provide sewer service for the proposed
development. For the purposes of this appraisal I have
assumed that there is adequate capacity for development.
Surrounding Land Uses The subject is located in Collier County, approximately 1.50
miles south of Main Street within the town of Immokalee.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
Observed Contamination None
Noted Concerns None
Environmental Assessment
Available
Yes. I was provided with a Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment (ESA) for the Silver Strand III Swap
Parcel conducted by Earth Tech Environmental,
LLC and dated December 9, 2024.
The Earth Tech assessment revealed no Historic
Recognized Environmental Conditions (HREC’s)
and or Controlled REC’s in connection with the
subject property. One (1) Recognized
Environmental Condition (REC) in connection with
the Subject Property was identified associated with
the “likely” historic application of agricultural
chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, etc.) on the
Subject Property. Earth Tech Environmental
considers the risk level of this REC to be low and
recommendations may be further discussed based
on intended use of the Subject Property.
I was also provided with a Limited Soil Sampling
Report for the Silver Strand III Swap Parcel
conducted by Earth Tech Environmental, LLC and
dated January 16, 2025. A total of 9 soil samples
were taken. The MDL for three (3) organochlorine
pesticides analytes were above the FDEP SCTL for
leachability to groundwater due to laboratory
dilution. Earth Tech Environmental does not
believe the elevated MDLs in SS-3 represent soil
impacts on the Subject Property at that location.
Based on the laboratory data, Earth Tech
Environmental does not recommend any further
assessment.

NATURAL RESOURCE CONCERNS
Condition of subject The majority of the property is cleared and
previously operated as a citrus grove. I was not
provided with an informal wetland determination
report. Based on the information provided by
Collier County and Barron Collier Companies, the
northwest corner of the property is in its native
state and covered in mostly wetlands. There are
also isolated wetlands scattered around the
property as well as a manmade lake for irrigating
the citrus trees located near the southwest corner of
the property.
The wetlands and waterbodies encompass
approximately 69 acres or 15.7% of the property.
All plant and animal communities are of interest
and concern. To a greater or lesser degree
depending on the species and the quality of habitat
they occupy, plants and animals inhabiting the
property will invoke some level of scrutiny and will
result in some cost during the permitting process.
Natural Resource Audits Available No

FUTURE LAND USE
Ordinance or Plan Immokalee Area Master Plan and Collier County
Growth Management Plan
North 267.00 Acres
Future Land Use Designation The north approximately 267 acres are located
within the Immokalee Area Master Plan and
designated LR – Low Residential Subdistrict.
Purpose of Designation The purpose of this subdistrict is to provide for low
density residential development and supporting
uses. Mobile homes are allowed pursuant to the
provisions of IAMP Policy 5.1.4. Residential
densities are allowed as provided below, except for
properties within the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais
Strand System Overlay.
Base Density: Four (4) dwelling units per gross acre.
Maximum Density: Eight (8) dwelling units per
gross acre, inclusive of all density bonuses. Densities
above the base density can only be achieved through
available density bonuses.
South 172.00 Acres
Future Land Use Designation The south approximately 172 acres are located
within the Collier County Growth Management Plan
and are designated Open Area of the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area Overlay District.
Purpose of Designation The purpose of this program is to encourage smart
growth patterns in rural areas of the county per the
Growth Management Plan. Collier County’s
objective is to create an incentive-based land use
overlay system, herein referred to as the Collier
County Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay,
based on the principles of rural land stewardship.
The Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) is used to issue
designated Sending Area Stewardship credits to
property owners which may be used to entitle
Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA) which can be in
the form of self-contained planned urban
developments in the RLSA.
Page 3967 of 14062
6893B Report Property Information
Carroll & Carroll 50
This future land use designation allows such uses as
agriculture and related uses, essential services,
residential (maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per
5 acres), parks and open space, earth mining, etc.
The subject is currently identified within the open
area. It could be eligible for the Stewardship
Receiving Area (SRA) designation. Open areas not
developed as SRA’s and not protected by easements
remain under baseline agricultural zoning rules,
allowing agricultural uses, potential conditional
uses, and residential development at 1 unit per 5
acres. SRA’s developed as a Town or Village could
obtain a residential density of 1 to 4 dwelling units
per gross acre and a Hamlet could obtain a
residential density of ½ to 2 dwelling units per gross
acre.
The subject parcel (439.00 acres) would be eligible to
become designated as a Village. Villages are
primarily residential communities with a diversity
of housing types and mix of uses appropriate to the
scale and character of the particular village. Villages
shall be not less than 100 acres or more than 1,000
acres. Villages are comprised of residential
neighborhoods and shall include a mixed-use village
center to serve as the focal point for the community’s
support services and facilities. Villages shall be
designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle
circulation by including an interconnected sidewalk
and pathway system serving all residential
neighborhoods. Villages shall have parks or public
green spaces within neighborhoods. Villages shall
include neighborhood scaled retail and office uses,
in a ratio as provided in Policy 4.15. Villages are an
appropriate location for a full range of schools. To
the extent possible, schools and parks shall be
located adjacent to each other to allow for the
sharing of recreational facilities. Design criteria for
Villages shall be included in the LDC Stewardship
District. To ensure that SRA residents have such
areas proximate to their homes, open space shall also
Page 3968 of 14062

comprise a minimum of 35% of the gross acreage of
an individual SRA Town, Village, or those CRDs
exceeding 100 acres.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXES
By statute, real estate in Florida is assessed at 100% of fair market value as of January 1st
of the tax year. Since annual tax assessments are based on sales from previous years,
depending upon market trends, assessed values can fall on either side of the current
market value estimate. The tax assessment is usually not a reliable indicator of market
value.
Because there are portions of three separate parcels, I only included the land assessments
from the Collier County Property Appraiser. I did not include any 10% CAPs or
Agricultural Exemptions, when estimating the property taxes. The current millage rates
were applied to estimate the property taxes.
Parcel Tax ID All of Parcel#00137760103 and a portion of
00137640003 and 00138120001
Assessment and Tax Year 2024
Estimated Land Assessment $3,860,103
Improvement Assessment $0
Total Assessment $3,860,103
10% CAP N/A
AG Exemption N/A
Taxable Value $3,860,103
Total Estimated Taxes $49,640.92
Taxing Authority/Jurisdiction Collier County
The total assessment is $3,860,103 or $8,793 per gross acre of land area (based on 439.00
acres). The land assessment is within the range of other similar parcels. The assessment is
less than my estimate of market value.
As of the appraisal effective date the 2024 taxes have been paid.

6893B Report Highest and Best Use
Carroll & Carroll 61
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
DEFINITION
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 7th Edition, published 2022 by the Appraisal
Institute, defines Highest and Best Use as:
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the
highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility,
and maximum productivity.
METHOD
There are four criteria that must be met in order for a use to be the highest and best use for a
given property. The highest and best use must be:
• Legally permissible.
• Physically Possible.
• Financially feasible.
• Maximally productive.
Ordinarily these criteria are considered sequentially, each step narrowing the range of
alternative uses being considered.
ANALYSIS
SITE AS THOUGH VACANT
Legally Permissible: Collier County designates the north 267.00 acres as “A-MHO” – Rural
Agricultural District including a Mobile Home Overlay. A portion of the property is also
located within the Airport Overlay. The north approximately 267.00 acres are located within
the Immokalee Area Master Plan and designated LR – Low Residential Subdistrict.
The south 172.00 acres are zoned “A-MHO-RLSAO” – Rural Agricultural District including
a Mobile Home Overlay and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. They are located
within the Collier County Growth Management Plan and the 172.00 acres are designated
Open Area of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay District.
The current zoning allows a maximum density of 1.00 residential unit per 5.00 acres or a
total of 88 developable units. On the other hand, the 267.00 acres of Low Residential
Subdistrict (Future Land Use) has a base density of 4.00 units per acre. Therefore, if the
subject were rezoned it would be guaranteed a minimum of 1,068 units (267 acres x 4.00
units per acre). Assuming the remainder of the property has a base density of 1 unit per
5.00 acres or a total of 34 units, indicates a total of 1,102 units or an average density of 2.51
units per acre. A significant number of Stewardship Credits would need to be purchased in
the RLSAO in order to achieve a similar density.

6893B Report Highest and Best Use
Carroll & Carroll 62
Given its overall location, physical characteristics, access to utilities, and frontage along
Immokalee Road, the likelihood of rezoning the property to a Planned Unit Development or
obtaining an SRA designation on the property to a residential or mixed-use (residential and
commercial) is possible.
Physically Possible: The physical location, shape/size, topography, and access
characteristics suggest some type of low density residential development or mixed-use
development incorporating commercial type uses as required by the SRA designation. The
size is large enough to support a variety of development plans and potentials. The full
range of public utilities including sewer, water, electricity, telephone and TV cable are
available. A significant portion of the property (north 267 acres) is located within the
Immokalee Water Sewer District.
Financially Feasible: The financial feasibility of residential development continues to be
good especially the new construction market. The success of new development east of
Immokalee Road including Ave Maria, The Ranch at Orange Blossom, and Skysail, argues
that development is financially feasible. The location and price point of the subject property
should also be well received given its location and the lack of competition. Based on recent
closed sales and pending sales the price per unit developers are willing to pay for single-
family residential represents the highest and best use. Commercial development is required
to be included in the SRA Village or Town designation, however until these communities
mature, there are not enough residential development/population to support commercial
facilities. Commercial development is not financially feasible.
Maximally Productive: The maximally productive use is that the property either be
rezoned to a Planned Unit Development or obtain the Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA)
Village designation and develop as a low density residential or mixed-use development
consistent with the PUD or SRA designation.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROACHES
Only the sales comparison approach is appropriate for this vacant parcel.

6893B Report Sales Comparison Approach
Carroll & Carroll 64
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
INTRODUCTION
In the sales comparison approach, the subject property is compared with similar properties
that have sold recently or for which listing prices or offering prices are known. Data from
generally similar properties is used, and comparisons are made to demonstrate a probable
price at which the subject property would sell if offered on the market. This approach is
particularly strong when comparable sales data is plentiful and there is good conformity
among properties in the neighborhood.
Following is the procedure to be followed in developing this approach:
1. Research the market to gather information on sales, listings, and offers to purchase
properties similar to the subject.
2. Verify the information as to factual accuracy and arm's-length market considerations.
3. Identify relevant units of comparison and develop a comparative analysis for each
unit.
4. Compare the subject with comparable sale properties using elements of comparison
and adjust the sale price of each comparable appropriately.
5. Reconcile the various value indicators produced from the analysis of comparables into
a single value indication or a range of values.
The outline above is developed in detail on the following pages.
SALES DATA
A search was made for sales of land comparable to the subject site. The intention was to
find comparable sales in similar locations that offer similar functional utility. Six closed
sales were identified as the best available for analysis.
I am aware of two other large tracts of land that are under contract to be purchased by
Collier County. Approximately 150.00 acres of land located along 20th Street SE is under
contract for $4,015,000 or $26,767 per acre. The land area is considerably smaller, and it is
located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (northern most parcel contains 40.00
acres and is designated Neutral and the remining 110.00 acres are designated Sending). I
typically don’t incorporate government purchases because they are not purchased for an
economic use. Also due to the zoning/future land use/highest and best use differences, I
did not include this sale.
Page 3982 of 14062
6893B Report Sales Comparison Approach
Carroll & Carroll 65
I am also aware of the pending sale of the Williams Reserve at Lake Trafford located east of
Lake Trafford along the south side of Lake Trafford Road. Collier County is under contract
to purchase the 2,247 acres for $20,770,000 or $9,243 per acre. Approximately 153 acres of
the property is entitled for the development of approximately 336 residential units. The
majority of the property is zoned A-MHO, but approximately 50% of the property is
considered wetlands. Although the property is located within RLSA, it has various zonings,
future land uses, and considerably inferior physical characteristics due to the large amount
of wetlands and therefore it was not included in the analysis.
Price per acre of gross land area was developed as the unit of comparison, since that is the
unit best suited to the analysis, and the one most often utilized by local buyers, seller, and
brokers of land similar to the subject parcel.
Comparable land sales data is given on the following pages. Each comparable is identified
by a number which will be used for reference throughout the report. Each comparable is
identified on the location map immediately following this page.

DISCUSSION OF ADJUSTMENTS
Usually, comparable sale properties are not exactly like the subject property. If a typical
buyer would perceive the difference to be significant, then adjustment(s) must be made to
the comparable sales so that in the end each offers a realistic indication of value for the
subject. Adjusting comparable sales is a two-step process.
First, adjustments are made so that all of the comparable sales meet the standard of a
“market” transaction as outlined in the definition of market value. Customarily, the first
group of adjustments is made before the comparables are reduced to a common unit of
comparison. Included at this stage are adjustments to bring historic sales current to the
appraisal effective date.
The second group of adjustments is made after an appropriate unit of comparison is chosen.
These adjustments account for physical differences like location, physical characteristics and
size. Sometimes adjustment is required for differences in the permitted land use (zoning) or
in the availability of public service (infrastructure). When the adjustment process is
complete, the unit value indications are reconciled and converted into an estimate of value
for the subject.
REAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CONVEYED
This adjustment category is intended to account for the interest, benefits, and rights
inherent in the ownership of real estate. This category reflects the impact on value caused
by the fee simple versus the leased fee interest or the contract rent as opposed to market
rent.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
This adjustment category is intended to account for a variety of factors that might affect
the purchase price.
• Comparable 6 sold for a below market price and required an adjustment for conditions
of sale. The property was listed for $6,900,000 and was on the market 45 days. The
price was discounted 20% due to the cash offer and quick closing. Based on other
recent sales of similar properties, Comparable 6 sold for approximately 40% below
market and was adjusted upward accordingly.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
This category of adjustment is intended to account for the positive or negative contribution
to value of building improvements included with the sale of the land. Buildings that made
a positive contribution to the sale price require a negative adjustment. Buildings that were
Page 3993 of 14062
6893B Report Sales Comparison Approach
Carroll & Carroll 76
demolished and removed require a positive adjustment to account for demolition costs
which are treated as part of the purchase price.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
FINANCING
Adjustments in this category are intended to account for unusual terms of financing that
are not considered equivalent to cash or conventional financing.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
MARKET CHANGE
This adjustment is intended to account for changes in value due to the ebb and flow of
market forces over time.
Land values in the market are appreciating due to the demand for large tracts of vacant
land in Florida. The buyers of the comparable sales include a mix of owner-users and land
speculators. I was unable to find any sale/resales or matched paired sales to extract
market change rates.
I also consulted the Lay of The Land 2023 Market Report which reported that the average
per acre sale price for 100–500-acre ranch and recreational land sales throughout the State
of Florida increased 9% from 2022 to 2023 or an average monthly change rate of 0.75%. On
the other hand, the 2023 transaction volume for the large acreage market (500+ acres)
contracted from 2022 to 2023 and the average price per acre decreased from $6,665 to
$5,588 or a decrease of 16%.
The sales utilized in the report range from less than a month to almost 24 months old.
Based on the trend of per acre sales prices and the demand for land in the rural Collier
County area, I applied a market change rate of 0.50% per month or 6.00% annually.
LOCATION/ACCESS/EXPOSURE
This category of adjustment reflects the impact on value caused by the advantages or
disadvantages of a given location. Below is a table of various locational characteristics
that were taken into consideration to determine the locational differences between each
comparable.

• Comparable 2 is located along N. River Road with a higher supporting population and
average home value within a 3-mile radius and it has waterfrontage. This location is
superior to the subject and was adjusted downward 10%.
Comparable 3 is located along Palm Beach Boulevard. This is a superior location with
a higher supporting population and higher traffic counts. Comparable 3 also has a
considerably higher average home value. Comparable 3 was adjusted downward 10%
for its superior location.
Comparables 4 and 6 are located along Oil Well Road, east of SR 29. These are more
remote and inferior locations. Comparables 4 and 6 were adjusted upward 20% each.
Comparable 5 is located north of Immokalee along SR 29. This is also an inferior
location and was adjusted upward 20%.
UTILITIES/INFRASTRUCTURE
This category of adjustment references the availability and adequacy of the road system,
the public water distribution system and the public wastewater collection system of each
comparable property as that compares with the same services available to the subject
property.
• Access to utilities is a major factor for developers and land speculators when
considering sites to purchase. The subject is assumed to have access to utilities. All six
comparables do not have access to utilities and each was adjusted upward 20% for
their inferior features.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/LAND USE
This category of adjustment accounts for differences in the potential land uses
(Comprehensive Plan) or in the specific uses (Zoning) to which a property could be
developed. Differences in value between the subject property and comparable sales might
exist because their highest and best uses are different as a result of government regulation
through zoning and land use controls.
• The subject is zoned “A-MHO-RLSAO” – Rural Agricultural District including a Mobile
Home Overlay and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay with a Future Land Use of
LR – Low Residential Subdistrict on the north 267.00 acres and Open Area of the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Overlay on the south 172.00 acres. The majority of the
comparable sales included various Agricultural zonings, which are similar to the
subject, however the subject has a superior Future Land Use on the 267.00 aces. The
Low Residential Subdistrict has a base density of 4.00 units per acre. Therefore, if the
subject were rezoned it would be guaranteed a minimum of 1,068 units (267 acres x
Page 3996 of 14062
6893B Report Sales Comparison Approach
Carroll & Carroll 79
4.00 units per acre). Assuming the remainder of the property has a base density of 1
unit per 5.00 acres or a total of 34 units, indicates a total of 1,102 units or an average
density of 2.51 units per acre. It is unlikely that Comparables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 could
achieve as high of density, especially not within the RLSAO without purchasing a
significant number of Stewardship Credits. Overall, the subject’s Future Land Use is
superior to Comparables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and therefore all were adjusted upward
20%.
Comparable 2 was zoned RPD and approved and entitled for a residential
development at the time of sale. Comparable 2 was adjusted downward 20% for its
superior zoning. Overall, Comparable 2 received a net adjustment of 0%, the Future
Land Use and Zoning characteristics offset one another.
SIZE/SHAPE
This category of adjustment addresses the effect on the marketability of a given property,
because its physical size/shape might limit the physical utility, or because the size and
term of the financial investment required of an investor/speculator is such that the unit
price is reduced.
• None of the comparable sales required adjustment in this category.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This category of adjustment reflects the physical aspects of a property that impact its use
for development. Physical characteristics included land elevation, soil conditions,
drainage characteristics, threatened or endangered plant and animal species on the
property and the extent and density of covering vegetation.
• All six comparables had some amount of wetlands and therefore no adjustments were
warranted. Wetlands in the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay can be a benefit due to
the fact that you can create an SSA and extract the density and transfer the credits to an
upland/developable area.
The subject had a slightly higher percentage of useable area than the comparable sales.
Due to the amount of difference no adjustment was warranted.

RECAPITULATION OF DATA
After making the adjustments discussed above, the comparable sales indicated the

RECONCILIATION OF DATA
To arrive at a conclusion regarding the value of the subject site, the comparable sales and
their indications of value should be weighted according to the quality of each as a value
indicator.
Comparable 1 is the strongest indicator of value. It is the most similar to the subject and the
most recent sale. Comparable 1 was weighted 30%.
Comparables 2, 3, 4, and 5 are good indicators of value and were weighted 15% each.
Due to the conditions surrounding Comparable 6 and the inferior characteristics, it was
weighted 10%.
The range of unit value indications is from $17,641 to $26,020 per acre with an average of
$22,047 per acre and a median of $21,699 per acre. The weighting process discussed above
indicates a unit value of $22,148 per acre.
Based on the range of Comparables, I concluded to a unit value of $22,000 per acre.
ESTIMATE OF VALUE
$22,000 per gross acre results in an indication of value for the subject as of January 8, 2025,
of $9,658,000 (439.00 acres x $22,000 per acre), which rounds to $9,660,000.

Dear Ms. Barfield:
At your request, RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC has prepared the accompanying
appraisal for the above referenced property. The purpose of the appraisal is to determine
both the Market Value of the fee simple interest in the Camp Keais Parcel as well as the
sum of the loss in real estate and improvements (if any) to the larger parcel, known as the
Camp Keais Campus, along with any diminution in value to the remaining land and any
improvements as a result of the proposed land swap. The intended users for the
assignment are Collier County Board of County Commissioners (County) and Barron
Collier Companies (Barron Collier). The intended use of the appraisal is for negotiation
and decision-making purposes. We use the appraisal report option of Standards Rule 2-2
of USPAP to report the assignment results.
Please reference the appraisal scope section of this report for important information
regarding the scope of research and analysis for this appraisal, including property
identification, inspection, highest and best use analysis, and valuation methodology.
The accompanying appraisal conforms with the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.
The parent tract is an active agricultural parcel of land containing an area of 1,048.97
acres comprised of approximately 135 wetland acres and 914 upland acres. The site is
zoned Agriculture (A) within the Mobile Home Overlay (MHO). It is designated as Open
Lands within the Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO). The southeastern
portion of the site is located within a Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA). The part swapped
consists of the eastern 439.00 acres.

Based on the appraisal described in the accompanying report, subject to the Limiting
Conditions and Assumptions, Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
(if any), we have made the following value conclusion(s):
VALUE CONCLUSIONS
Appraisal Premise: Market Value, As Is
Interest Appraised: Fee Simple
Date of Value: January 8, 2025
Parent Parcel Before Swap: $22,550,000
Proposed Part Swapped: $9,440,000
Remainder Parcel: $13,110,000
Concluded Value per Acre: $21,500
The value conclusion(s) are subject to the following hypothetical conditions and extraordinary
conditions. These conditions may affect the assignment results.
Hypothetical Conditions: None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: In previous valuations of the subject parent tract, it was asserted
that Ave Maria Utilities, which currently services Ave Maria,
has excess capacity which could service the subject site.
Extension of utilities would increase the quality of the subject
property. Capacity was not verified by Barron Collier
Companies. The County requested that the same assumptions be
used for utilities as were employed in the appraisal prepared for
the 2021 purchase of the campus property from Barron Collier
Companies. We reserve the right to readdress valuation should
these assumptions be proven otherwise.

Commissioners (County) and Barron Collier Companies (Barron Collier). The intended
use is for negotiation and decision-making purposes. The appraisal is not intended for any
other use or user.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Market value definition used by agencies that regulate federally insured financial
institutions in the United States is defined by The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,
7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022) as:
The most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently
and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit
in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing
of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
▪ Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
▪ Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider
their best interests;
▪ A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
▪ Payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of
financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
▪ The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected
by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone
associated with the sale.”

DEFINITION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
Fee simple estate is defined as an: “Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other
interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of
taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.” (Source: The Dictionary of Real
Estate Appraisal, 7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022)

leases.
PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL, PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED, AND DATES
The purpose of the appraisal is to determine both the Market Value of the fee simple
interest in the Camp Keais Parcel as well as the sum of the loss in real estate and
improvements (if any) to the larger parcel, known as the Camp Keais Campus, along with
any diminution in value to the remaining land and any improvements as a result of the
proposed land swap. The effective date of the subject appraisal is January 8, 2025. The
date of inspection was January 8, 2025. The date of the report is March 13, 2025.
SCOPE OF WORK
The problem to be solved is to determine both the Market Value of the fee simple interest
in the Camp Keais Parcel as well as the sum of the loss in real estate and improvements
(if any) to the larger parcel, known as the Camp Keais Campus, along with any
diminution in value to the remaining land and any improvements as a result of the
proposed land swap.
SCOPE OF WORK
Report Type: This is an Appraisal Report as defined by Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice under
Standards Rule 2-2(a). This format provides a summary or
description of the appraisal process, subject and market
data and valuation analyses.
Property Identification: The parent tract has been identified by the legal description
and the assessors' parcel number. The part swapped has
been identified by a sketch dated October 16, 2024
provided by Barron Collier Companies.
Inspection: An on site inspection was made and photographs were
taken.
Market Area and Analysis of
Market Conditions:
A complete analysis of market conditions has been made.
The appraiser maintains and has access to comprehensive
databases for this market area and has reviewed the market
for sales and listings relevant to this analysis.
Highest and Best Use Analysis:
A complete as vacant highest and best use analysis for the
subject has been made. Physically possible, legally
permissible, and financially feasible uses were considered,
and the maximally productive use was concluded.
Valuation Analyses
Cost Approach:
A cost approach was not applied as the subject tract is
vacant land.
Sales Comparison Approach:
A sales approach was applied as typically this is the most
appropriate approach for the valuation of vacant land. This
approach is applicable to the subject because there is an
active market for similar properties and sufficient sales data
is available for analysis.
Page 4037 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL
Page 11
Income Approach:
An income approach was not applied as the subject is not
likely to generate rental income as vacant land.
Hypothetical Conditions: None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: In previous valuations of the subject parent tract, it was
asserted that Ave Maria Utilities, which currently services
Ave Maria, has excess capacity which could service the
subject site. Extension of utilities would increase the
quality of the subject property. Capacity was not verified by
Barron Collier Companies. The County requested that the
same assumptions be used for utilities as were employed in
the appraisal prepared for the 2021 purchase of the campus
property from Barron Collier Companies. We reserve the
right to readdress valuation should these assumptions be
proven otherwise.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
NATIONAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) released the following statement
on January 29, 2025. Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to
expand at a solid pace. The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent
months, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2
percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its
employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance. The economic outlook is
uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.
In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal
funds rate at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional
adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully
assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will
continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency
mortgage-backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting
maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to
monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The
Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if
risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's
assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on
labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and
international developments.
The following table details the economic forecasts of Federal Reserve Board members
and Federal Reserve Bank presidents as of September 2024. Real GDP is projected to
grow at a rate of 2.0% in 2024, a decrease from the March 2024 projection. The 2025 and
2026 projections of 2.0% remain the same. The unemployment projection increased to
4.4% from the 4.0% projection. The Core PCE inflation projection for 2024 decreased
from 2.8% in June 2024 to 2.6%.

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, noted in a January 2025 Economic Issues and
Home Sales Trends webinar that 2025 may be a better year for real estate, with more
inventory, more listings and more sales. Dr. Yun projects home sales rising 9% this year
and another 13% in 2026. He projects price growth to be more muted at 0% to 5%.
According to the Freddie Mac 2025 Outlook, although demand is expected to remain well
above average in 2025, vacancy is expected to increase to 6.2%. The below-average rent
growth of 2.2% and rising vacancy rates result in a forecast of gross rental income growth
of 2% for 2025.
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (NAREIT) 2025
Report, “there is a real possibility for an environment with both moderating interest rates
and robust economic growth, otherwise known as an economic soft landing.
Nevertheless, there are both lingering and emerging risks, including soft property
fundamentals in some sectors and higher interest rates reflecting fiscal imbalances.
Overall, in a world that will be marked by increasing and accelerating change, we see
opportunities for REITs in 2025.”
In the 2025 CBRE U.S. Real Estate Market Outlook, Dr. Richard Barkham, Global Chief
Economist and Head of Global Research, predicts that despite many uncertainties, “the
U.S. economy is poised for growth in 2025, driven by consumer spending, easing
financial conditions and productivity gains. While retail and data centers have been
supported by longer-term trends, all other real estate sectors will see the start of a new
cycle.” Even though the 10-year Treasury yield is projected to remain above 4%, Dr.
Barkham projects capitalization rates will compress slightly. Investors have the
opportunity to secure long-term returns that have not been available for many years.
According to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services annual Commercial Real Estate
Outlook for 2025, “the global economic recovery has been uneven across geographies,
and this will likely continue going forward.” Results from Deloitte’s 2025 commercial
real estate outlook survey give some indication that commercial real estate owners and
investors are hopeful that 2025 will emerge as a year of potential recovery over two years
of muted revenues and pullbacks in spending. After two consecutive years where most
survey respondents expected revenue declines, 88% of global respondents now report
Page 4040 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL FLORIDA ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Page 14
they expect their company’s revenues to increase going forward, a substantial shift from
the 60% who expected further declines last year. Moreover, 60% of respondents expect
growth to be in excess of 5% year over year.
According to the PwC Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2025, real estate investors and
developers should be poised for an upturn in industry trends as the post-pandemic
disruption abates and positive cyclical forces gain strength. “The Federal Reserve is
among the most important cyclical forces. Its pivot to reducing interest rates indicates a
peak for inflation and construction costs — and the pivot is helping real estate markets to
clear, boosting transaction activity. However, not all dealmakers are ready to jump in
with both feet. After all, rate cuts also indicate a slower economy and that could affect net
operating income (NOI) growth. The path to renewed vigor could take surprising
detours.”
According to J.P. Morgan Chase 2025 commercial real estate outlook, Following several
years of elevated inflation, muted growth and general uncertainty, commercial real estate
could be positioned for an upswing. “The industry is poised to be in a better place
compared to the last few years,” said Victor Calanog, Global Head of Research and
Strategy, Real Estate Private Markets at Manulife Investment Management. “It appears
that the landing will be relatively soft, so that should mean continued positive momentum
for economic activity, benefiting leasing and income drivers, including rents and
occupancies.” Overall, the outlook for the 2025 commercial real estate is positive. The
industrial sector remains the industry’s darling. Multifamily and retail continue to
perform well, although they do have vulnerabilities. In some markets, even office
vacancy rates are beginning to moderate.
FLORIDA ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida was home to four of the nation’s top five
fastest-growing metropolitan statistical areas and three of the top 10 that gained the
largest number of people from 2022 to 2023, reflecting continued population growth
across the South. U.S. migration patterns played a significant role in the South’s
population growth. Many people moved to this region, contributing to its overall positive
net domestic migration (more people moving in from the rest of the United States than
moving out to other parts of the United States). From 2022 to 2023, 28 of the top 30
metro areas with the highest positive domestic migration were in the South.
According to the Winter 2024 Florida Forecast prepared by the Institute for Economic
Competitiveness at the University of Central Florida, Florida’s economy, as measured by
real Gross State Product, will expand at an average annual rate of 2.5% from 2024 to
2027. Real Gross State Product will decelerate during the economic slowdown as growth
will slow to 3.3% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025, then accelerate to reach 2.5% by 2026 and
ease to 2.1% in 2027.
Payroll job growth in Florida will begin to gradually decelerate as the economy remains
at full employment. After year-over-year growth of 5.7% in 2022, payroll employment in
2023 was 3.4% but will slow to 2.0% in 2024 and drift lower to 0.6% by 2027.

Housing starts have felt the bitter chill of higher mortgage rates. Total starts were
193,500 in 2022—before higher mortgage rates and worries of a slowing economy
started a deceleration that will slow starts to 157,072 in 2027.
The unemployment rate fell to 2.7% in 2023. The slower economy will push the rate up
to 3.1% in 2024, and to 3.6% in 2025 before creeping to 3.8% in 2027.
COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Collier County has long been an attractive place to retire and it continues to be an area
that experiences a great deal of seasonal population increases. According to the Collier
County Comprehensive Planning Department, Collier County’s population increases up
to 25% between November and April due to seasonal residents and short-term
agricultural workers in the Immokalee area. The population increase creates a high
degree of seasonality within the retail, service, and hospitality sectors of Collier County’s
economy.
Collier County is located less than 150 miles from Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Miami,
Sarasota, and West Palm Beach as shown in the following table.

U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice
evaluated the country’s 150 most populous metropolitan areas based on affordability, job
prospects and desirability. The 2024 25 Best Places to Retire includes six Florida metro
areas with Daytona Beach the top Florida market at No. 8. Tampa is No. 12 overall while
Sarasota is No. 18. Naples is ranked 6th overall in the 2023-2024 Best Places to Live
report released by U.S. News & World Report and Sarasota is ranked 5th.
Naples ranks No. 1 in the annual U.S. News & World Report Best Places to Live in the
U.S. Sarasota, was ranked No. 11.
Employment
The local economy is largely dependent on the real estate market. Naples is one of the
wealthiest areas in Florida, and it has seen significant population and job growth over the
past several years. As migration from state to state has returned to pre-pandemic levels,
the Naples region has seen population and job growth slow over the past year.

According to the 1Q 2025 CoStar report, like many parts of Florida, population growth
has been a main driver for commercial real estate expansion over the past few years.
However, Collier County’s relative affordability compared to other areas in the state has
kept population trends muted.
Population growth peaked between 2021 and 2022 when the market added roughly
10,300 new residents. That dropped down to 6,800 new residents between 2022 and
2023, and that trend is expected to continue when the census releases more recent figures
in early 2025.
Healthcare is a driving force of Collier County’s economy and is the largest share of the
market's employment base. Many of the hospital systems are the largest employer in the
market. In addition, Arthrex, a medical device manufacturing company, has a large
presence in the market and employs nearly 4,000 people.

Employment
The annual Collier County rate peaked in 2010 at 11.6% and had declined steadily since
until the spike from the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020. Since the pandemic,
unemployment numbers have generally decreased as the economy continues to improve.

Page 19
As of December 2024, the unemployment rate for the State of Florida was 3.4%, down
from the peak in May 2020 of 14.3%. On a national level, the unemployment rate in
December 2024 was 4.1%, a decrease from the peak in April 2020 of 14.8%. Collier
County currently has a higher November rate, at 3.5%, than state levels and lower rate
than national levels.
The local economy is largely dependent on the real estate market. The following table
from the U.S. Department of Labor shows Naples/Immokalee/Marco Island employment
from 2014 through 2024. As shown, unemployment from the Covid-19 pandemic
affected the service and leisure and hospitality sectors the most. All sectors have regained
all lost jobs and have exceeded 2019 levels.

Naples - Immokalee - Marco Island
Collier County and the entire Southwest Florida Region is substantially dependent on the
real estate and construction sectors. Therefore, the area has been and should be more
susceptible to cyclical fluctuations that have occurred in other areas dominated by a
single industry. The Southwest Florida Economic Development Alliance reports key
employers in Southwest Florida (Collier, Lee and Charlotte County) from Biofuels,
healthcare, technology, apparel design, to sugar production are a driving force behind the
region’s success. The table below provides a few examples of some key employers in
Southwest Florida.

Tourist Tax Revenues
The following graph from the Southwest Florida Regional Economic Indicators January
2025 report prepared by Florida Gulf Coast University shows Collier, Lee, Charlotte,
Sarasota County’s tourist tax revenues. Seasonally-adjusted real tourist tax revenues for
the coastal counties slipped to $8.2 million in November 2024, up 13 percent from the
prior month and 1 percent over the November 2023 figure.
Collier County’s seasonally-adjusted real tourist tax revenues ascended to $4.0 million in
November 2024, a 17 percent increase from October 2024 and a 1 percent improvement
compared to the November 2023 figure.

Development
Growth continues to shift east with Ave Maria becoming the top-selling single-family
residential community in Collier County and was recently ranked as one of the Top 20
Selling Master-Planned Communities in the United States. It has maintained the top
ranking in the Naples-Fort Myers market for the past eight years. Ave Maria reported a
total of 600 new home sales in 2024 and 652 new home sales in 2023. It is the highest -
ranking community in all of Collier County. There are currently four residential builders
in Ave Maria, CC Homes, Del Webb Naples, Lennar and Pulte Homes. The grand
opening of The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria, a bundled golf community
by Lennar, was held on January 7, 2021. The Immokalee Road corridor between Naples
and Ave Maria is projected to see thousands of new homes developed in the next few
years. According to a June 2023 Naples Daily News article, Collier County
commissioners approved an increase in the town of Ave Maria by nearly 1,000 acres to
5,000 acres which doesn’t include the roughly 1,000-acre Ave Maria University campus
and other public benefits such as parks. According to David Genson, president of
development for Barron Collier Cos., while more single-family homes will be built, the
maximum number of residences won’t change, with the cap remaining at 11,000. With
the way the town was originally laid out, it would have supported about 8,400 units
without adding more land. The original plans called for 60% of the homes to be single-
family which will increase to more than 80%. Approximately 50% of the buyers are from
the east coast of Florida.

In January 2020, in what has been described as one of the most important votes for the
future of growth in Collier County, commissioners approved Rivergrass Village. The
village is the first of three planned 1,000-acre villages stretching from just north of Oil
Well Road to east of Golden Gate Boulevard East. Rivergrass Village will allow for up to
2,500 homes; 100,000 square feet of retail and office uses and a minium of 25,000 square
feet for civic government, and institutional buildings. Longwater Village will allow for
up to 2,600 homes; 65,000 square feet of retail and office space and 25,000 square feet
for civic government, and institutional buildings and Bellmar Village will allow for up to
2,750 homes; 85,000 square feet of retail and office space and 27,500 square feet for
civic government, and institutional buildings. In a near unanimous decision, the Collier
County Planning Commission agreed to recommend approval of Longwater in March
2021. The project has sparked controversy because the property sits in the
environmentally sensitive Rural Lands Stewardship Area, or RLSA. Commissioners
voted to approve the Longwater and Bellmar Villages on June 8, 2021. The
commissioners approved Brightshore, another rural village with thousands of proposed
homes in December 2022.
There are more than $1 billion in new luxury high-rise developments near the coast
including The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples (formerly known as One Naples) at the
northeast corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive as well as Pelican Bay
(Mystique completed in 2019) and Kalea Bay (Towers 100 and 200 are complete, Tower
300 was completed in December 2022, Tower 400 was completed in 2024 and Tower
500 is scheduled for completion in September 2026 in North Naples. New commercial
development is very active at the intersections of Collier Boulevard and US 41 East as
well as Collier Boulevard and Immokalee Road.
In its 3rd Quarter 2024 report, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight
(OFHEO) found that the Naples- Marco Island MSA had a 2.7% increase in home prices
(all-transactions including purchase and refinance mortgage) over the trailing 12 months.
Home prices (purchase-only) in the state of Florida increased 1.02% over the past year
(3Q 2023 - 3Q 2024) which was 49th in the nation.
The continuing care retirement community, Moorings Park, teamed with London Bay
Homes to develop an independent living development with 275 residences in 17
buildings. All of the buildings are six stories over parking. Grande Lake, will be built on
55 acres off Golden Gate Parkway, between Airport-Pulling and Livingston Roads.
Entrance fees start at $1.5 million and are 70% refundable. Construction on the first 47
units in three buildings commenced in December 2018 with completion in May 2020.
Arthrex, a medical device manufacturer and one of the county's largest employers,
completed construction of its latest expansion plan at its headquarters along Goodlette-
Frank Road in early 2020. The development includes a 300,000 square-foot, six-story
office complex with an auditorium, a four-story Innovation Hotel with approximately 160
rooms, a two-story wellness center, and a 3-acre park. The hotel hosts orthopedic
surgeons from the U.S. and around the world for medical education on the company's
devices and instruments. Arthrex has contracted with a Tampa-based company, Mainsail,
to manage all elements of the hotel operation, including employees.

NCH Healthcare partnered with New York-based Hospital for Hospital for Special
Surgery, known as HSS, to build a three-story, 80,000-square-foot hospital. HSS at NCH
will be a 15-bed acute-care addition on the hospital campus located along the north side
of Immokalee Road near the NCH North Naples campus between Health Park and
Medical Boulevards. The facility is expected to open to patients in early 2025.
Barron Collier Companies and Metro Development Group broke ground on Founders
Square, a 55-acre mixed-use development located on the southeast corner of Immokalee
Road and Collier Boulevard in January 2020. The development is anchored by The
Pointe, a collection of 10 separate restaurants and other retail tenants. It also includes a
400-unit Class A apartment community, known as The Haldeman; a 35,000 square foot
medical office building leased by Physicians Regional Medical Healthcare; and
StorQuest a 110,000 square foot self-storage facility.
Seed to Table, a new Oakes Farm grocery store at the northeast corner of Livingston and
Immokalee Roads in North Naples opened in December 2019. The former Albertson's
was completely gutted and consists of 77,000+ square foot store with sit-down dining, a
full-service bar, three bars for beer and wine, wine room with samples on tap, a wood-
fired brick oven for pizza, a raw bar, sushi bar, grilling area, coffee bar and stations
preparing fresh pasta, guacamole, cheese, cut vegetables, sandwiches, smoothies and
even homemade ice cream with indoor-outdoor seating.
Paradise Coast Sports Complex, is Collier County’s new $100 million Amateur Sports
Complex. The county hopes to become a destination for traveling youth sports teams and
amateur athletes. While the focus of the complex is athletics, with 20 fields between
soccer, baseball and softball, plus a 10,000-person championship stadium, the goal is to
get people to stay after the game is over with The Cove and The Factory. The Cove is a
bar and food truck area for patrons to relax, listen to live music and play a variety of yard
games (bag toss, oversized Connect Four and Jenga, plus ping pong). The Factory is an
outdoor workout facility focusing on functional fitness (similar to CrossFit) which is
available on a monthly membership basis. Additionally, the man-made lake next to The
Cove includes a 2/3 mile jogging loop with three workout stations. There is a climbing
wall for public use and a beach volleyball court.
Collier County Commissioners approved a $15 million economic development agreement
on June 22, 2021 for The Great Wolf Lodge. The Lodge is built on 20 acres of land along
City Gate Boulevard North and feature a 100,000 square foot indoor water park, 500-
room hotel, and 62,000 square feet of amenities and attractions. The resort opened in
September 2024 and has 600 full-time and part-time employees.
Investment Trends
The following CoStar data shows Collier County trends in the Multi-Family, Retail,
Office, and Industrial sectors as of the first quarter 2025.
According to the CoStar report, multifamily investment is down across Florida, and
Collier County is no exception, with limited trades over the past year.
Page 4051 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 25
There have been less than a handful of transactions over the past 12 months totaling $114
million in sales volume. The bulk of that occurred in one transaction in the final months
of 2024. Prior to that trade, less than $15 million had been transacted over the course of
the year.
Ohio-based PLK Communities purchased the 286-Mark Lane Apartments for $82
million, or $285,000 per unit. The 2022-built 4 Star complex was 80% at the time of sale
with a monthly average rent of $2,800. Multifamily fundamentals are challenged in the
Collier County market, which could keep transaction volumes down over the coming
quarters.
According to the CoStar Report, the Collier County retail sales volumes fell back in line
with historical norms in 2024, with Collier County ending the year with $170 million in
total sales volume. That was down from a three-year run of sales activity averaging
Page 4052 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 26
around $400 million annually. Further, the fourth quarter of 2024 was the first time in
five years that the market did not surpass $25 million in quarterly sales volume.
A significant portion of 2024's sales volume came from one sale. Benderson
Development purchased Carillon Place from SITE Centers in June for $55 million, or
$218/SF. The 250,000-SF Power Center was 92% leased at the time of sale and was
anchored by a Walmart grocery store, TJMaxx, and DSW. That transaction was the
exception and not the norm for Naples in 2024, as the average sale price was around $2.8
million when that sale was removed.
According to the CoStar Report, office investment activity picked up in the third quarter
of 2024 on the back of one of the few $20 million-plus trades over the past five years.
One trade in July was more than what the market recorded over the first six months of
Page 4053 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 27
2024. However, it is not abnormal for Collier County to see a few down quarters. In fact,
Collier County only recorded $1.5 million in 2024Q4. Sales are typically on the smaller
side, with an average sale price of just $1.5 million over the past year.
The largest trade this year was the $21.5 million, or $310/SF, acquisition of the Truist
Building along Laurel Oak Drive by Massachusetts-based Carruth Capital from American
National Insurance Company. The 68,000-SF, 3 Star office building was more than 90%
leased at the time of sale with tenants such as Truist Bank, BMO Harris Bank, and Collier
County government offices. The seller purchased the property in 2015 for $23.7 million,
or $350/SF, at a 6% cap rate.
According to the CoStar report, industrial activity stalled over the latter half of 2024 after
opening the year with two strong quarters. Collier County has been one of the most
consistent markets in Florida, with the region achieving over $80 million in total sales
Page 4054 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 28
volume for five consecutive years. In comparison, the market would typically only see
around $55 million pre-pandemic.
Over the past year, the market has recorded $106 million in total sales volume. Pricing
has remained more or less the same over the past several years, averaging around
$183/SF, as of the first quarter of 2025. Sales are typically on the smaller side, with an
average sale price of just under $2.5 million. Collier County is not reliant on institutional
investors, and as such, future investment volumes should be in line with current volumes.
Income
Personal income is a significant factor in determining the real estate demand in a given
market. The following table shows Collier County households by income from the
Page 4055 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 29
CCIM Site to do Business. Overall, Collier County has an average household income of
$135,508 and a per capita income of $57,867.
Conclusion
The long term economic outlook for Collier County is positive. The area lures people
from all over the country for tourism as well as retirement, with the beaches and weather
considered major demand drivers.
The projected growth in population and employment provide an economic base that
supports demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property.
These conditions have resulted in increasing property values and should stimulate
continued increases within the foreseeable future. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the
residential market had stabilized after several years of an expansion period, with
sustained growth in demand and increasing construction. Since the coronavirus
pandemic, residential demand increased significantly with record sales in 2020 and
continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and 2022. Inventory increased in
2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued increases in interest rates. Pricing
has generally stabilized and is projected to remain fairly stable through 2025.
According to the Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR), there was a record $18.2
billion in sales in Collier County during 2020. Demand eclipsed all expectations in 2021
with a 25.8% increase in overall sales in 2021 and a 20.3% increase in median closed
price (year over year). The 2024 Annual Market Report released by NABOR reported
total sales decreased 10.0% in 2024 and the overall median sales price incrased 1.7% to
$610,000 for the year. Single Family home prices increased 2.0% percent compared to
last year, and Condo home prices remained flat.
Generally, the commercial market lags the residential market. The significant residential
demand since the pandemic has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with
an increased demand for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decrease in the federal
funds rate, as well as the projected future decreases through 2025, are expected to further
stabilize the commercial market and potentially increase demand for both residential and
commercial property.
Finally, it is noted that Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 storm, made landfall in Southwest
Florida on September 28, 2022, and caused widespread wind and storm surge damage.

In addition to the funding received for the farm worker housing project, the Collier
County Housing Authority has been awarded grants and loans from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture to build units at Farm Worker Village in Immokalee.
Arrowhead Reserve is a 307.3 acre development of which 274 acres are located in the
Low Residential District on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Within this district,
15 acres are proposed for commercial use and the district permits 4 dwelling units per
acre or 1,245 units on 259 acres. The 15 acres of commercial land will be consistent with
C-2, C-3 and C-4 zoning and will be allowed a maximum of 130,000 square feet of
improvements. The amenities include 15 lakes, a community park with clubhouse and
pool, a second clubhouse and pool for the apartments, recreation trails, over 40 acres of
open space and preserve which creates a wildlife corridor. The community consists of
single family homes, town homes, and multi-family apartments. The decline in residential
supply has continued to increase the price of homes in Arrowhead Reserve. As of late
April 2021, pricing for a three-bedroom, two-bath home began at $199,900. The 150-
home community sold out in early 2022.
Phase One of the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County Bolch Campus in Immokalee
opened in October 2016 and consists of a 27,786 square foot youth center with
classrooms, game rooms, a teen center, a library, kitchen, and dance and art rooms. The
facility hosts an after-school program serving over 400 children. Construction for the
second and third phases consisting of a 14,000 square foot gymnasium and outdoor
pavilion; a 5,000 square foot swimming pool; a weight room; and an athletic field will be
completed by DeAngelis Diamond.
Additionally, a new business incubator is a major part of the Immokalee Area Master
Plan that will support an assembly area for tenants of a manufacturing incubator that
opened at the airport in 2009. In March 2017 Collier officials celebrated the start of
construction of a culinary accelerator for entrepreneurs. A vacant building at Immokalee
Regional Airport was transformed into a state-of-the-art food manufacturing plant. The
5,274 square foot facility includes a commercial-grade kitchen with ovens, grills, fryers, a
bakery, heat pasteurization, industrial-size mixing bowls and other cooking tools and
equipment. The state-funded $1.2 million center also includes areas for packaging,
labeling and shipping. The facility, which had been delayed for several months due to
unforeseen regulatory issues, opened in March 2018.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria earned the 18th spot on the prestigious list of 50 Top-Selling Master-Planned
Communities in the United States by prominent national real estate consulting agency,
John Burns Research and Consulting, in their 2024 annual report. The community
reported 600 new home sales in 2024, securing its position as the top-ranking

Outlook and Conclusions
The expected growth in Collier County should provide an economic base that supports
demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property. These
conditions should stimulate increases in general property values within the foreseeable
future.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the residential market had stabilized after several
years of an expansion period, with sustained growth in demand and increasing
construction. Since the coronavirus pandemic, residential demand increased significantly
with record sales in 2020 and continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and
2022. Inventory increased in 2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued
increases in interest rates. Pricing has generally stabilized and is projected to remain
fairly stable through 2025.
Generally, the commercial market lags the residential market. The significant residential
demand since the pandemic has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with
an increased demand for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decreases in the federal
funds rate, as well as the projected future decreases through 2025, are expected to further
stabilize the commercial market and potentially increase demand for both residential and
commercial property.

Flood Zone: The subject is located in an area mapped by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). The subject is located in FEMA
flood zone AE and AH. Both Zone AE and AH are classified as a
flood hazard area.
FEMA Map Number: 12021C 0270 H
FEMA Map Date: May 16, 2012
The subject is in a flood zone. The appraiser is not an expert in this
matter and is reporting data from FEMA maps.
Environmental Issues: A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was prepared by
Earth Tech Environmental, LLC on December 9, 2024. This
assessment has revealed no Historic Recognized Environmental
Conditions (HRECs) and/or Controlled RECs (CRECs) in
connection with the Subject Property. A review of previous reports
associated with the overall Camp Keais property in 2020, which
includes the Subject Property, did not reveal any significant concerns
associated with the Subject Property. A small area of diesel fuel
impacted soil was identified during a Phase II ESA associated with
an active AST located on the adjoining property to the west (Mulch
Processing Facility). Based on the information reviewed in the Phase
II ESA and the relative distance from the Subject Property, ETE does
not consider this to be a significant concern to the Subject Property.
Encumbrance / Easements: A current title report was not provided for the purpose of this
appraisal. We are not aware of any easement, restrictions, or
encumbrances that would adversely affect value. Therefore, our
valuation assumes the subject has a clear and marketable title with
no adverse easement, restrictions, or encumbrances.
Site Comments: The parent site includes 1,048.97 acres or 45,693,133 square feet. It
has frontage along Oil Well Road at 9,288± feet. The subject consists
of approximately 135± acres of wetlands (as estimated by a GIS
survey prepared by Barron Collier Companies). Per wetlands
mapper from the US Fish & Wildlife survey, the property includes

uses by accommodating traditional agricultural related
activities and facilities and support facilities. The
Mobile home Overlay (MHO) district is intended to
apply to those agricultural areas where a mixture of
housing types is found to be appropriate within the
district. It is intended that mobile homes allowed under
this section shall be erected only in the Rural
Agricultural district and only when the requirements
and procedures of this section are met.

Future Land Use Designation Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO) -
Open Lands. Includes 107.73 acres of the site is located
within a Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA).
The subject is identified as Open Lands within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
(RLSA). The subject southern border runs along the northern border of SSA 10.
The southeastern 107.73 acres of the site is located within a Habitat Stewardship Area
(HSA). The HSA are agricultural lands to be protected that are also habitat for listed
species, which can be designated as SSAs. The County has designated several Natural
Resource Protection Area (NRPA) overlays within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District.
Included in this designation is Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs) within the Rural Lands
Stewardship Overlay. Listed animal and plant species and their habitats shall be protected
Page 4066 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL SITE ANALYSIS - PARENT TRACT
Page 40
through the establishment of Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs), as SSAs within the
RLSA Overlay. HSAs are delineated on the Overlay Map and contain approximately
39,991 acres. HSAs are privately owned agricultural areas, which include both areas with
natural characteristics that make them suitable habitat for listed species and areas without
these characteristics. There are approximately 15,156 acres of cleared agricultural fields
located in HSAs. Agriculture will continue to be a permitted use and its supporting
activities will continue to be permitted as conditional uses within FSAs and HSAs,
pursuant to the Agriculture Group classifications.
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program was established under the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Its objective
is the creation of an incentive-based land use overlay system based on the principles of
rural land stewardship found in Florida Statutes, Section 163.3177(11), including
environmental preservation, agricultural preservation and smart growth development.
Through the RLSA program, Stewardship Sending Areas (SSAs) can be approved for
preservation purposes, creating credits to entitle Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRAs),
typically towns, villages, hamlets and compact rural developments (CRDs). The credit
system is designed to incentivize preservation of the most important environmental lands,
including large, connected wetland systems and significant habitat for listed species, by
awarding higher credit values for high value preservation areas.
Qualifying properties can increase their development density and expand permitted uses
through an application process as well as the transfer and receipt of Stewardship Credits.
The maximum permitted density under the Agricultural (A) zoning district is 1 dwelling
unit per 5 acres. Qualifying properties can apply through the RLSA application process to
increase residential development up to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre.
Attachment C on the following page shows the Stewardship Receiving Area
Characteristics.
The SRA designation is intended to encourage and facilitate uses that enable economic
prosperity and diversification of the economic base of the RLSA District, and encourage
development that utilizes creative land use planning techniques and facilitates a compact
form of development to accommodate population growth by the establishment of SRAs.
Stewardship Credits generated from SSAs are exchanged for additional residential or
non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis. Density and intensity within
the RLSA District shall not be increased beyond the Baseline Standards except through
the provisions of the Stewardship Credit System, the affordable housing density Bonus as
referenced in the density Rating System of the FLUE, and the density and intensity
blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan.

REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The real estate tax assessment of the subject is administered by Collier County. In 2008,
Florida voters amended the Constitution to give non-homestead property owners some
protection against increases in their annual property tax assessments. As amended, the
Florida Constitution now prohibits the assessment of certain non-homestead property
from increasing by more than 10% per year. The 10% cap applies to most types of
commercial property, including non-homestead residential property (i.e. apartments and
other rental property) and nonresidential property (i.e. commercial property and vacant
land). The cap was set to expire on January 1, 2019; however, in November 2018 Florida
voters amended the Constitution to make the cap permanent. The protection of the 10%
cap is lost when there is a change of ownership or control.
The property tax identification number and assessed value of the property for tax year
2024 are as follows:
The subject parcels are county owned and tax exempt. The tax assessment for subject
property is currently $13,333 per acre. Based on our valuation analysis, the subject’s
assessment appears low but reasonable.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use may be defined as:
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four
criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity. 1
▪ Physically possible for the land to accommodate the size and shape of the
ideal improvement.
▪ Legally permissible under the zoning regulations, building codes,
environmental regulations, and other restrictions that apply to the site. A
property use that is either currently allowed or most probably allowable.
▪ Financially feasible to generate sufficient income to support the use.
▪ Maximally productive, or capable of producing the highest value from
among the permissible, possible, and financially feasible uses.
Highest and Best Use As If Vacant
Physically Possible
The parent tract is 1,048.97 acres or 45,693,133 square feet with 9,288 feet of frontage
along Oil Well Road (Two laned primary arterial). The subject has level topography. The
subject consists of approximately 135± acres of wetlands (as estimated by a GIS survey
prepared by Barron Collier Companies). Per wetlands mapper from the US Fish &
Wildlife survey, the property includes 135.24± acres of Freshwater Forested/Shrub
wetlands. Additionally, there is a pond at 6.76 acres.
The subject's utilities are typical and adequate for the market area. Ave Maria Utilities
currently services Ave Maria and there is assumed to be excess capacity which could
service the subject site. Capacity was not verified by Barron Collier Companies. The
County requested that the same assumptions be used for utilities as were employed in the
appraisal prepared for the 2021 purchase of the campus property from Barron Collier
Companies. We reserve the right to readdress valuation should these assumptions be
proven otherwise. The parent site is irregular in shape.
The site is located in a FEMA flood zone AE and AH area per FEMA Flood Map
Number: 12021C 0270 H, dated May 16, 2012, which is classified as a flood hazard
area.
There are no known physical reasons that would unusually restrict development. The site
is considered to have a functional utility suitable for a variety of uses.

Legally Permissible
The subject site is zoned Rural Agricultural District within the Mobile Home Overlay
(MHO) ((A) within the Mobile Home Overlay (MHO)), which allows single family
homes, agricultural activities, family care facilities, schools, and conservation.
The purpose of the rural agricultural district is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral
and rural land uses by accommodating traditional agricultural related activities and
facilities and support facilities. The Mobile home Overlay (MHO) district is intended to
apply to those agricultural areas where a mixture of housing types is found to be
appropriate within the district. It is intended that mobile homes allowed under this section
shall be erected only in the Rural Agricultural district and only when the requirements
and procedures of this section are met.
The future land use is designated as Open Lands within the Rural Land Stewardship Area
Overlay (RLSAO). The southeastern portion of the site is located within a Habitat
Stewardship Area (HSA). The HSA are agricultural lands to be protected that are also
habitat for listed species, which can be designated as SSAs. In reviewing the
development of the nearby Collier Rod & Gun Club, it appears the HSA lands have been
incorporated for recreational uses including for sporting activities (archery and shooting)
and a golf course. Similar incorporation of the subject HSA as recreational use including
possible equestrian and polo fields similar to those in Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota
County would accentuate the value of the subject development tract and continue the
theme of the nearby Collier Rod & Gun Club.
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program was established under the Future
Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Its objective is the
creation of an incentive-based land use overlay system based on the principles of rural
land stewardship found in Florida Statutes, Section 163.3177(11), including
environmental preservation, agricultural preservation and smart growth development.
Through the RLSA program, Stewardship Sending Areas (SSAs) can be approved for

typically towns, villages, hamlets and compact rural developments (CRDs). The credit
system is designed to incentivize preservation of the most import environmental lands,
including large, connected wetland systems and significant habitat for listed species, by
awarding higher credit values for high value preservation areas.
Qualifying properties can increase their development density and expand permitted uses
through an application process as well as the transfer and receipt of Stewardship Credits.
The maximum permitted density under the Agricultural (A) zoning district is 1 dwelling
unit per 5 acres. Qualifying properties can apply through the RLSA application process to
increase residential development up to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre.
Recognizing the principle of conformity, we consider the prevailing land use patterns in
the area. Therefore, only agricultural type or recreational uses on the HSA lands or future
Page 4086 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Page 60
residential uses on open lands are given further consideration in determining the highest
and best use of the site, as if vacant.
Financially Feasible
Financial feasibility is an analysis of the ability of a property to generate sufficient
income to support the use, or a reasonable probability of producing a positive income
stream net of operating expenses, financial costs, and capital amortization.
The projected growth in population and employment provide an economic base that
supports demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property.
These conditions have resulted in increasing property values and should stimulate
continued increases within the foreseeable future. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the
residential market had stabilized after several years of an expansion period, with
sustained growth in demand and increasing construction. Since the coronavirus
pandemic, residential demand increased significantly with record sales in 2020 and
continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and 2022. Inventory increased in
2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued increases in interest rates. Pricing
has generally stabilized and is projected to remain fairly stable through 2025.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decreases in the federal
funds rate, as well as the projected future decreases through 2025, are expected to further
stabilize the commercial market and potentially increase demand for both residential and
commercial property.
On this basis, barring unforeseen changes in the market, only agricultural type or
recreational uses on the HSA lands or future residential uses on open lands that is
appropriately marketed and priced, should be received favorably by the market.
Maximally Productive
The maximally productive land use yields the highest value of the possible uses.
Agricultural and/or recreational uses (HSA Lands) and future residential development
consistent with the future land use is the only use that meets the tests of physically
possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible. Therefore, agricultural and/or
recreational uses (HSA lands) and future residential development consistent with the
future land use is concluded to be the maximally productive and highest and best use of
the site.
Highest and Best Use as Improved
No improvements with any significant contributory value are situated on the site.
Therefore, a highest and best analysis as improved is not applicable.
Most Probable Buyer
Considering the size, class, and location of the property, the most probable buyer is an
owner-user, investor or developer.

CAMP KEAIS PARCEL VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Page 61
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Three basic approaches may be used to arrive at an estimate of market value. They are:
1. The Cost Approach
2. The Sales Comparison Approach
3. The Income Approach
Cost Approach
The Cost Approach estimates the current cost to construct the existing structure including
an entrepreneurial incentive, depreciation, and the estimated land value. This approach is
particularly applicable when the improvements represent the highest and best use of the
land and are relatively new. It is also applicable when the property has unique or
specialized improvements for which there is little or no sales data from comparable
properties.
Sales Comparison Approach
The Sales Comparison Approach compares sales of similar properties with the subject
property. Each comparable sale is adjusted for its inferior or superior characteristics. The
values derived from the adjusted comparable sales form a range of value for the subject.
By process of correlation and analysis, a final indicated value is derived. This approach is
most reliable in an active market, and is least reliable when valuing a property for which
no direct comparable sales data is available.
Income Approach
The Income Approach converts the anticipated flow of future benefits (cash flows and
reversion) to a present value estimate through a capitalization and or a discounting
process. This approach generally reflects a typical investor’s perception of the
relationship between the potential income of a property and its market value.
Final Reconciliation
The appraisal process concludes with the Final Reconciliation of the values derived from
the approaches applied for a single estimate of market value. The reconciliation of the
approaches is based on an evaluation of the quantity and quality of the available data in
each approach. Furthermore, different properties require different means of analysis and
lend themselves to one approach over the others.
Page 4088 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Page 62
ANALYSES APPLIED
A cost analysis was considered and was not developed because the subject tract is vacant
land.
A sales comparison analysis was considered and was developed because typically this is
the most appropriate approach for the valuation of vacant land. This approach is
applicable to the subject because there is an active market for similar properties and
sufficient sales data is available for analysis.
An income analysis was considered and was not developed because the subject is not
likely to generate rental income as vacant land.
Page 4089 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Page 63
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach is based on the premise that a buyer would pay no more
for a specific property than the cost of obtaining a property with the same quality, utility,
and perceived benefits of ownership. It is based on the principles of supply and demand,
balance, substitution and externalities. The following steps describe the applied process
of the Sales Comparison Approach.
• The market in which the subject property competes is investigated; comparable
sales, contracts for sale and current offerings are reviewed.
• The most pertinent data is further analyzed and the quality of the transaction is
determined.
• The most meaningful unit of value for the subject property is determined.
• Each comparable sale is analyzed and where appropriate, adjusted to equate with
the subject property.
• The value indication of each comparable sale is analyzed and the data reconciled
for a final indication of value via the Sales Comparison Approach.
Land Comparables
We have researched six comparables for this analysis; these are documented on the
following pages followed by a location map and analysis grid. All sales have been
researched through numerous sources, inspected and verified by a party to the
transaction. For this analysis, we use the price per acre as the appropriate unit of
comparison because market participants typically compare sale prices and property
values on this basis.

adjustment could be supported for the improvements for the failed sports park; therefore,
none is made.
Comparable 4 included a small residence, mobile home and pole barn. No adjustment
could be supported; therefore, none is made.
Comparable 6 include several cabins. It was marketed at land value and no adjustment
was indicated.
Property Rights
All of the comparables transferred in fee simple interest; therefore, no adjustments for
property rights are required.
Financing
All of the comparable sales had market orientated financing or were cash transactions;
therefore, no adjustments for financing are required.
Conditions of Sale
All of the comparable sales were arm’s length transactions; therefore, no adjustments for
conditions of sale are required.
Comparable 6 is a pending sale. The price shown in the grid is the pending sale price. We
consider the property was exposed to the open market, but the seller decided to contract
with Collier County. This will be considered in reconciliation.

Economic Trends
The following graph developed from CoStar shows raw residential and agricultural land
sales in the Charlotte, Collier, Lee County marketplace since January 1, 2021. The survey
was limited to properties greater than 75 acres. Certain outliers were excluded including
developed subdivisions and multi-family lands.
The survey included 38 transactions. Prices per acre ranged from $1,718 to $149,745 per
acre and averaged $36,042 per acre. Properties ranged from 79 to 2,755 acres and
averaged 477 acres. The graph indicates an increasing trend in sales prices from January
2021 through the current date. However, it is noted this is unadjusted raw data and does
not relate directly to the subject.
The analyses and value opinion in this appraisal are based on the data available to the
appraiser at the time of the assignment and apply only as of the effective date indicated.
No analyses or opinions contained in this appraisal should be construed as predictions of
future market conditions or value. The significant residential demand since the pandemic
has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with an increased demand and
significant price increases for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
Additionally, we consider the rapid price increases during and just following the
pandemic. This period included significant population surge in all three counties which
increased demand for residential developments.
The subject tract is agricultural in current use with future residential potential. Based on
the previous analysis, we have applied a 15.0% annual adjustment though December 31,
2022 and a 5.0% annual adjustment from 2022 through the current date.

Location
The following table summarizes the population growth, average household income and
home values within a two mile radius.
Subject and Comparable 6 are located in Collier County. Comparables 1, 2 and 5 are
located in Lee County. Comparables 3 and 4 are located in Charlotte County.
The subject property is located east of Ave Maria on Oil Well Road. It is also located
adjacent to the west of the proposed Collier Rod & Gun Club. Utilities, water and sewer,
are reportedly to the west in Ave Maria at approximately 1.5 miles. It has the third lowest
population density but the with second highest household incomes and highest home
values. The nearby population density should increase with continued development of
Ave Maria.
Comparables 1 and 2 are in a future development corridor along Palm Beach Blvd/State
Road 80. Utilities are reportedly several miles west of these sites. The Alva area has half
the population density of subject but significantly higher household incomes and home
values.
Comparables 3 and 4 are rural in character with no available utilities nearby or
anticipated in the future. These comparables are agricultural in character although
Comparable 3 was once employed as a sports park.
Comparable 5 is in SE Lee County near the Corkscrew corridor at the Lee and Collier
border. This area is rural in character but long-term prognosis is for the extension of the
Corkscrew road corridor development occurring several miles to the west. There is no
near term availability of utilities.

Comparable 6 is located in the North Belle Meade near an area of Golden Gate
Estates/Rural Estates. While the North Belle Meade is sparsely populated with poor road
and trial access, the Estates area is generally subdivided into 1.14 to 2.25 acre tracts. Well
and septic is required in the North Belle Meade and the Estates. This area has the highest
population density due to its proximity to Greater Naples.
Subject and Comparables 1 through 4 are located on primary arterials.
In the evaluation of the sites, emphasis is given to subject’s nearby availability to utilities
and its proximity to Ave Maria and the proposed Collier Rod & Gun Club. All
comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.
Size
The following was developed with data from the trend analysis survey.
For this analysis, Comparables 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are adjusted for their smaller size.
Topography / Wetlands
The subject property overall includes a mixture of mostly pasture lands and mulch
processing area. It includes Fresh Emergent Wetlands, Freshwater Forested/Shrub
Wetlands and Freshwater Ponds.
Comparables 1 and 4 are crop lands with minimal to no wetlands exposure. Comparable
2 had significant vegetation and wetlands exposure. Comparable 3 had a mixture of
cleared, improved lands and moderate to heavy vegetation similar percentage wetlands to
subject. Comparable 5 was primarily crop land with a large percentage of wetlands
exposure. Comparable 6 had a mixture of cleared and moderate to heavy vegetation with
minimal wetlands.
All comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.

Configuration
Comparable 1 includes two non-contiguous parcels. Comparable 2 is bisected by an
FP&L line. Both are adjusted for accordingly.
No adjustment could be quantified for configuration differences for Comparables 3, 4, 5,

Zoning
All of the comparables are similar in terms of zoning; therefore, no adjustments are
required.
Flood Zone
The subject and Comparable 6 are located within impacted AH and or AE flood zones.
Comparable 3 is partially impacted by its A zone location but is mostly X zone.
Comparables 1, 2, 4 and 5 all have superior X zone locations.
All comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.
Other Transactions
Neal Communities recently received rezoning approval to develop a 1,099 home
development on 788 acres of mostly agricultural land, with 420 acres preserved under
conservation easements. The tracts with multiple ownerships are located north of the
Caloosahatchee River between North River Road and Duke Highway in Lee County. The
RPD plan calls for over 60% of the land be open space, with 420 acres preserved under
conservation easements. Conditions also call for the creation of 300 acres of rare and
unique upland habitat and the restoration or protection of an additional 20 acres, allowing
a density incentive for additional homes over and above the one per acre that is called for
in the county Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.
The property benefits from its proximity to nearby Babcock Ranch and nearby urban
areas in Lee County via I-75. Per William H. Rollins, JR. CCIM, ALC with LSI
Companies, the property will be serviced by its own utility plant. Although he is not
involved in the transaction, he offered that land prices would be between $27,000 to
$29,000± per acre. He noted that Neal Communities incurred the time and cost of
rezoning. We could not independently confirm Mr. Rollins’ information.

VALUATION ANALYSIS OF PART SWAPPED AND REMAINDER
PROPERTY
DESCRIPTION OF PART SWAPPED
The part swapped consists of primarily pasture lands and some moderate to heavy
vegetation. The future land use includes Open Lands within the Rural Lands Stewardship
Area (RLSA). The subject southern border runs along the northern border of SSA 10.
The southeastern 107.73 acres of the site is located within a Habitat Stewardship Area
(HSA). The HSA are agricultural lands to be protected that are also habitat for listed
species, which can be designated as SSAs.
Land Area: 439.00 acres; 19,122,840 square feet
Shape: Irregular
Proposed Improvements Taken: There are no improvements on the parent tract or the part
swapped.

CAMP KEAIS PARCEL VALUE ANALYSIS PROPOSED PART SWAPPED
Page 76
VALUE ANALYSIS PROPOSED PART SWAPPED
The market value of the fee simple interest of the parent tract was previously estimated
via the Sales Comparison Approach to have a unit value of $21,500 per acre. In valuing
the part swapped, we consider the tract is smaller than the parent tract which is a positive
influence on the value per acre. However, the part swapped is located further from the
future potential utility connections with Ave Maria, which is a negative influence on the
value per acre. We also consider the part swapped includes the 107.73 acres of protected
HSA lands, a negative influence. Finally, we consider the part swapped abuts sporting
land (HSA lands) in the proposed Collier Rod & Gun Club as well as other lands
controlled by Barron Collier Companies, a positive influence. The result is offsetting
positive and negative influences on value, or no net change in value per acre from the
parent tract.
As previously stated, the Proposed Part Swapped will be transferred in Fee Simple
Interest.
Fee simple estate is defined as an: “Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other
interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of
taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.” (Source: The Dictionary of Real
Estate Appraisal, 7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022)
Therefore, the Proposed Part Swapped includes 100% of the fee simple value. The
concluded value of the Proposed Part Swapped is shown in the following table.
The valuation of the remainder property, as part of the whole is shown in the following
table.

VALUATION ANALYSIS OF REMAINDER PROPERTY AS SEVERED
DESCRIPTION OF REMAINDER PROPERTY AS SEVERED
The remainder property will consist of 609.97000 acres or 26,570,293 square feet. The
remainder property will consist of a relatively similar shape as before the swap, since the
part swapped consists the eastern portion of the parent tract. The remainder property’s
overall access, easements, availability to utilities, topography, land use designation, and
zoning are unchanged.
The remainder property is located closer to Ave Maria utilities and has no HSA lands. It
does not abut the proposed Collier Rod & Gun Club. The property has similar frontages
along Oil Well Road as the part swapped.
REMAINDER PROPERTY, AFTER THE SWAP
Land Area: Total: 609.97000 acres; 26,570,293 square feet
Shape: The parent site is irregular in shape.
Road Frontage/Access:
The remainder property has average access with frontage
as follows:
• Oil Well Road (Two laned primary arterial): To be
determined
It is not a corner lot.
Improvements: The remainder parcel is undeveloped and vegetated.
Proposed Acquisition: The part swapped consists of the eastern 439.00 acres of
the parent tract.
Highest and Best Use
As Vacant
Agricultural and/or recreational uses (HSA Lands) and
future residential development consistent with the future
land use
VALUE ANALYSIS REMAINDER PROPERTY AS SEVERED
The Remainder Property will have a similar highest and best use as the parent parcel. In
the interim, both the remainder property and part swapped will likely remain agricultural;
however, the part swapped, located adjacent to the proposed Collier Rod & Gun Club
could benefit from the proximity to the new development. We previously estimated the
fee simple market value of the parent tract at $21,500 per acre. The remainder property
has both positive and negative influences on value which results in no net change in value
per acre from the parent tract. Therefore, we conclude to a final reconciled per acre
$21,500 for the remainder property.
The concluded value of the Remainder Property is shown in the following table.
Page 4104 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL SEVERANCE DAMAGES TO THE REMAINDER PROPERTY
Page 78
SEVERANCE DAMAGES TO THE REMAINDER PROPERTY
Severance damages are calculated as the negative difference between the value of the
remainder property, as part of the whole, and the value of the remainder property, as
severed. When the value of the remainder property, as severed, is less than the value of
the remainder property, as part of the whole, the difference is the actual measurement of
the damages to the remainder property. When the value of the remainder property, as
severed, is greater than the value of the remainder property, as part of the whole, the
difference is not damage but is considered a benefit. Severance damages are calculated in
the following table.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Based on the appraisal described in the accompanying report, subject to the Limiting
Conditions and Assumptions, Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
(if any), we have made the following value conclusion(s):
VALUE CONCLUSIONS
Appraisal Premise: Market Value, As Is
Interest Appraised: Fee Simple
Date of Value: January 8, 2025
Parent Parcel Before Swap: $22,550,000
Proposed Part Swapped: $9,440,000
Remainder Parcel: $13,110,000
Concluded Value per Acre: $21,500
The value conclusion(s) are subject to the following hypothetical conditions and extraordinary
conditions. These conditions may affect the assignment results.
Hypothetical Conditions: None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: In previous valuations of the subject parent tract, it was asserted
that Ave Maria Utilities, which currently services Ave Maria,
has excess capacity which could service the subject site.
Extension of utilities would increase the quality of the subject
property. Capacity was not verified by Barron Collier
Companies. The County requested that the same assumptions be
used for utilities as were employed in the appraisal prepared for
the 2021 purchase of the campus property from Barron Collier
Companies. We reserve the right to readdress valuation should
these assumptions be proven otherwise.

CAMP KEAIS PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 82
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This appraisal is based on the following assumptions, except as otherwise noted in the
report.
1. The title is marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
encroachments, easements and restrictions. The property is under responsible
ownership and competent management and is available for its highest and best
use.
2. There are no existing judgments or pending or threatened litigation that could
affect the value of the property.
3. There are no hidden or undisclosed conditions of the land or of the improvements
that would render the property more or less valuable. Furthermore, there is no
asbestos in the property.
4. The revenue stamps placed on any deed referenced herein to indicate the sale
price are in correct relation to the actual dollar amount of the transaction.
5. The property is in compliance with all applicable building, environmental, zoning,
and other federal, state and local laws, regulations and codes.
6. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, but no warranty is
given for its accuracy.
This appraisal is subject to the following limiting conditions, except as otherwise
noted in the report.
1. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents our opinion as to the value of
the property appraised.
2. The conclusions stated in our appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the
appraisal, and no representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events.
3. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including,
without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code) are anticipated.
4. No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction
with this appraisal, and we reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value
opinions based upon any subsequent environmental impact studies. If any
environmental impact statement is required by law, the appraisal assumes that
such statement will be favorable and will be approved by the appropriate
regulatory bodies.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we are not required to give testimony,
respond to any subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with
reference to the property without compensation relative to such additional
employment.
6. We have made no survey of the property and assume no responsibility in
connection with such matters. Any sketch or survey of the property included in
this report is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be
Page 4109 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 83
scaled accurately for size. The appraisal covers the property as described in this
report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are assumed to be correct.
7. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights, if
any, and we have assumed that the property is not subject to surface entry for the
exploration or removal of such materials, unless otherwise noted in our appraisal.
8. We accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields.
Such considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other
legal matters such as legal title, geologic considerations such as soils and seismic
stability, and civil, mechanical, electrical, structural and other engineering and
environmental matters.
9. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and
improvements applies only under the reported highest and best use of the
property. The allocations of value for land and improvements must not be used in
conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used. The appraisal
report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal report shall
be utilized separately or out of context.
10. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions
as to value, the identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal
Institute) shall be disseminated through advertising media, public relations media,
news media or any other means of communication (including without limitation
prospectuses, private offering memoranda and other offering material provided to
prospective investors) without the prior written consent of the person signing the
report.
11. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report, obtained from third-
party sources are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified.
12. Any income and expense estimates contained in the appraisal report are used only
for the purpose of estimating value and do not constitute predictions of future
operating results.
13. If the property is subject to one or more leases, any estimate of residual value
contained in the appraisal may be particularly affected by significant changes in
the condition of the economy, of the real estate industry, or of the appraised
property at the time these leases expire or otherwise terminate.
14. No consideration has been given to personal property located on the premises or
to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property; only the real property
has been considered.
15. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the value stated in our
appraisal; we have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will
occur.
16. The value found herein is subject to these and to any other assumptions or
conditions set forth in the body of this report but which may have been omitted
from this list of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions.
Page 4110 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 84
17. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates
and assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and
economic conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive
environment and other matters. Some estimates or assumptions, however,
inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may
occur; therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered by our analysis
will vary from our estimates, and the variations may be material.
18. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992.
We have not made a specific survey or analysis of any property to determine
whether the physical aspects of the improvements meet the ADA accessibility
guidelines. In as much as compliance matches each owner’s financial ability with
the cost to cure the non-conforming physical characteristics of a property, we
cannot comment on compliance to ADA. Given that compliance can change with
each owner’s financial ability to cure non-accessibility, the value of the subject
does not consider possible non-compliance. A specific study of both the owner’s
financial ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the
Department of Justice to determine compliance.
19. The appraisal report is prepared for the exclusive benefit of the Client, its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates. It may not be used or relied upon by any other party.
All parties who use or rely upon any information in the report without our written
consent do so at their own risk.
20. No studies have been provided to us indicating the presence or absence of
hazardous materials on the subject property or in the improvements, and our
valuation is predicated upon the assumption that the subject property is free and
clear of any environment hazards including, without limitation, hazardous wastes,
toxic substances and mold. No representations or warranties are made regarding
the environmental condition of the subject property and the person signing the
report shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist
or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such
conditions exist. Because we are not experts in the field of environmental
conditions, the appraisal report cannot be considered as an environmental
assessment of the subject property.
21. The person signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may
have noted in the appraisal report whether the subject property is located in an
identified Special Flood Hazard Area. We are not qualified to detect such areas
and therefore do not guarantee such determinations. The presence of flood plain
areas and/or wetlands may affect the value of the property, and the value
conclusion is predicated on the assumption that wetlands are non-existent or
minimal.
22. RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC is not a building or environmental inspector.
RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC does not guarantee that the subject property
is free of defects or environmental problems. Mold may be present in the subject
property and a professional inspection is recommended.
Page 4111 of 14062
CAMP KEAIS PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 85
23. The appraisal report and value conclusion for an appraisal assumes the
satisfactory completion of construction, repairs or alterations in a workmanlike
manner.
24. The intended use of the appraisal is stated in the General Information section of
the report. The use of the appraisal report by anyone other than the Client is
prohibited except as otherwise provided. Accordingly, the appraisal report is
addressed to and shall be solely for the Client’s use and benefit unless we provide
our prior written consent. We expressly reserve the unrestricted right to withhold
our consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report (or any part thereof
including, without limitation, conclusions of value and our identity), to any third
parties. Stated again for clarification, unless our prior written consent is obtained,
no third party may rely on the appraisal report (even if their reliance was
foreseeable).
25. All prospective value estimates presented in this report are estimates and forecasts
which are prospective in nature and are subject to considerable risk and
uncertainty. In addition to the contingencies noted in the preceding paragraph,
several events may occur that could substantially alter the outcome of our
estimates such as, but not limited to changes in the economy, interest rates, and
capitalization rates, behavior of consumers, investors and lenders, fire and other
physical destruction, changes in title or conveyances of easements and deed
restrictions, etc. It is assumed that conditions reasonably foreseeable at the present
time are consistent or similar with the future.

Ward. Future Land Use is Urban Community which allows up to 6 units per acre. Buyers are investors who relisted the property at
$9,000,000 with a long term view. The previous owner started a rezoning process; however, the application was withdrawn before its
completion. Previous discussion and submission to the county contemplated 694 residential units, 200,000 square feet of Commercial
Development, and a 150-key hotel. This plan made it quite a way through the rezoning process, and an extensive amount of engineering
work was completed. However, the application was ultimately withdrawn by a previous owner. The current owner is in the process of
rekindling this failed zoning to see the project through.

Dear Ms. Barfield:
At your request, RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC has prepared the accompanying
appraisal for the above referenced property. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate
the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property. The intended users for
the assignment are Collier County Board of County Commissioners (County) and Barron
Collier Companies (Barron Collier), and the intended use of the appraisal is for
negotiation and decision-making purposes. We use the appraisal report option of
Standards Rule 2-2 of USPAP to report the assignment results.
Please reference the appraisal scope section of this report for important information
regarding the scope of research and analysis for this appraisal, including property
identification, inspection, highest and best use analysis, and valuation methodology.
The accompanying appraisal conforms with the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.
The subject is a vacant agricultural parcel of land containing an area of 439.00 acres, or
19,122,840 square feet. It includes crop lands and former citrus groves. It is zoned Rural
Agricultural District within the Mobile Home Overlay (A-MHO). The northern 267±
acres are impacted by the Immokalee Urban community boundary with a Low
Residential Subdistrict (LR) future land use. The remaining southern 172± acres are in
the Collier County rural community area and are identified as Open Lands within the
Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA). Finally, the site consists of approximately 69±

Based on the appraisal described in the accompanying report, subject to the Limiting
Conditions and Assumptions, Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
(if any), we have made the following value conclusion(s):
VALUE CONCLUSIONS
Appraisal Premise Interest Appraised Date of Value Value Conclusion
Market Value, As Is Fee Simple January 8, 2025 $10,540,000
Concluded Value per Acre $24,000
The value conclusion(s) are subject to the following hypothetical conditions and extraordinary
conditions. These conditions may affect the assignment results.
Hypothetical Conditions: None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: There is reportedly a required easement agreement by Barron
Collier to maintain the pumps and berms at the Silver Strand III
parcel for the benefit of the South Florida Water Management
District. There will also most likely be a further reciprocation
agreement for drainage requirements once the parcel is
developed. We are unable to determine any impact on value;
therefore, we conclude the agreement will not affect value. We
reserve the right to readdress valuation should this assumption
be proven otherwise.

APPRAISAL SCOPE
According to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, it is the
appraiser’s responsibility to develop and report a scope of work that results in credible
results that are appropriate for the appraisal problem and intended user(s). Therefore, the
appraiser must identify and consider:
● the client and any other intended users;
● the intended use of the appraiser’s opinions and conclusions;
● the type and definition of value;
● the effective date of the appraiser’s opinions and conclusions;
● subject of the assignment and its relevant characteristics
● assignment conditions
● the expectations of parties who are regularly intended users for similar
assignments; and
● what an appraiser’s peer’s actions would be in performing the same or a similar
assignment.
CLIENT, INTENDED USER, AND INTENDED USE
The client and the intended user of the appraisal are Collier County Board of County
Commissioners (County) and Barron Collier Companies (Barron Collier). The intended
use is for negotiation and decision-making purposes. The appraisal is not intended for any
other use or user.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Market value definition used by agencies that regulate federally insured financial
institutions in the United States is defined by The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,
7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022) as:
The most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently
and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit
in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing
of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
▪ Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
▪ Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider
their best interests;
▪ A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
▪ Payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of
financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
▪ The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected
by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone
associated with the sale.”

DEFINITION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
Fee simple estate is defined as an: “Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other
interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of
taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.” (Source: The Dictionary of Real
Estate Appraisal, 7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022)
Leases
Ownership indicated that there are agricultural leases associated with the property. The
leases were not disclosed to these appraisers and ownership indicated that they are short
term. We reserve the right to readdress valuation upon disclosure of any long term leases.
PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL, PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED, AND DATES
The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in
the subject property. The effective date of the subject appraisal is January 8, 2025. The
date of inspection was January 8, 2025. The date of the report is March 14, 2025.
SCOPE OF WORK
The problem to be solved is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in the
subject property.
SCOPE OF WORK
Report Type: This is an Appraisal Report as defined by Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice under
Standards Rule 2-2(a). This format provides a summary or
description of the appraisal process, subject and market
data and valuation analyses.
Property Identification: The subject has been identified by a sketch dated October
16, 2024 provided by Barron Collier Companies.
Inspection: An on site inspection was made and photographs were
taken.
Market Area and Analysis of
Market Conditions:
A complete analysis of market conditions has been made.
The appraiser maintains and has access to comprehensive
databases for this market area and has reviewed the market
for sales and listings relevant to this analysis.
Highest and Best Use Analysis:
A complete as vacant highest and best use analysis for the
subject has been made. Physically possible, legally
permissible, and financially feasible uses were considered,
and the maximally productive use was concluded.
Valuation Analyses
Cost Approach:
A cost approach was not applied as there are no
improvements that contribute value to the property.
Page 4147 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL INTRODUCTION INFORMATION
Page 5
Sales Comparison Approach:
A sales approach was applied as typically this is the most
appropriate approach for the valuation of vacant land. This
approach is applicable to the subject because there is an
active market for similar properties and sufficient sales data
is available for analysis.
Income Approach:
An income approach was not applied as the subject is not
likely to generate rental income as vacant land.
Hypothetical Conditions:
None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: There is reportedly a required easement agreement by
Barron Collier to maintain the pumps and berms at the
Silver Strand III parcel for the benefit of the South Florida
Water Management District. There will also most likely be
a further reciprocation agreement for drainage requirements
once the parcel is developed. We are unable to determine
any impact on value; therefore, we conclude the agreement
will not affect value. We reserve the right to readdress
valuation should this assumption be proven otherwise.
Comments
The individual sections of the report detail the additional research, confirmation, and
analysis of relevant data.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
NATIONAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) released the following statement
on January 29, 2025. Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to
expand at a solid pace. The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent
months, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2
percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its
employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance. The economic outlook is
uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.
In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal
funds rate at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional
adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully
assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will
continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency
mortgage-backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting
maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to
monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The
Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if
risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's
assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on
labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and
international developments.
The following table details the economic forecasts of Federal Reserve Board members
and Federal Reserve Bank presidents as of September 2024. Real GDP is projected to
grow at a rate of 2.0% in 2024, a decrease from the March 2024 projection. The 2025 and
2026 projections of 2.0% remain the same. The unemployment projection increased to
4.4% from the 4.0% projection. The Core PCE inflation projection for 2024 decreased
from 2.8% in June 2024 to 2.6%.

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, noted in a January 2025 Economic Issues and
Home Sales Trends webinar that 2025 may be a better year for real estate, with more
inventory, more listings and more sales. Dr. Yun projects home sales rising 9% this year
and another 13% in 2026. He projects price growth to be more muted at 0% to 5%.
According to the Freddie Mac 2025 Outlook, although demand is expected to remain well
above average in 2025, vacancy is expected to increase to 6.2%. The below-average rent
growth of 2.2% and rising vacancy rates result in a forecast of gross rental income growth
of 2% for 2025.
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (NAREIT) 2025
Report, “there is a real possibility for an environment with both moderating interest rates
and robust economic growth, otherwise known as an economic soft landing.
Nevertheless, there are both lingering and emerging risks, including soft property
fundamentals in some sectors and higher interest rates reflecting fiscal imbalances.
Overall, in a world that will be marked by increasing and accelerating change, we see
opportunities for REITs in 2025.”
In the 2025 CBRE U.S. Real Estate Market Outlook, Dr. Richard Barkham, Global Chief
Economist and Head of Global Research, predicts that despite many uncertainties, “the
U.S. economy is poised for growth in 2025, driven by consumer spending, easing
financial conditions and productivity gains. While retail and data centers have been
supported by longer-term trends, all other real estate sectors will see the start of a new
cycle.” Even though the 10-year Treasury yield is projected to remain above 4%, Dr.
Barkham projects capitalization rates will compress slightly. Investors have the
opportunity to secure long-term returns that have not been available for many years.
According to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services annual Commercial Real Estate
Outlook for 2025, “the global economic recovery has been uneven across geographies,
and this will likely continue going forward.” Results from Deloitte’s 2025 commercial
real estate outlook survey give some indication that commercial real estate owners and
investors are hopeful that 2025 will emerge as a year of potential recovery over two years
of muted revenues and pullbacks in spending. After two consecutive years where most
survey respondents expected revenue declines, 88% of global respondents now report
Page 4150 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL FLORIDA ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Page 8
they expect their company’s revenues to increase going forward, a substantial shift from
the 60% who expected further declines last year. Moreover, 60% of respondents expect
growth to be in excess of 5% year over year.
According to the PwC Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2025, real estate investors and
developers should be poised for an upturn in industry trends as the post-pandemic
disruption abates and positive cyclical forces gain strength. “The Federal Reserve is
among the most important cyclical forces. Its pivot to reducing interest rates indicates a
peak for inflation and construction costs — and the pivot is helping real estate markets to
clear, boosting transaction activity. However, not all dealmakers are ready to jump in
with both feet. After all, rate cuts also indicate a slower economy and that could affect net
operating income (NOI) growth. The path to renewed vigor could take surprising
detours.”
According to J.P. Morgan Chase 2025 commercial real estate outlook, Following several
years of elevated inflation, muted growth and general uncertainty, commercial real estate
could be positioned for an upswing. “The industry is poised to be in a better place
compared to the last few years,” said Victor Calanog, Global Head of Research and
Strategy, Real Estate Private Markets at Manulife Investment Management. “It appears
that the landing will be relatively soft, so that should mean continued positive momentum
for economic activity, benefiting leasing and income drivers, including rents and
occupancies.” Overall, the outlook for the 2025 commercial real estate is positive. The
industrial sector remains the industry’s darling. Multifamily and retail continue to
perform well, although they do have vulnerabilities. In some markets, even office
vacancy rates are beginning to moderate.
FLORIDA ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida was home to four of the nation’s top five
fastest-growing metropolitan statistical areas and three of the top 10 that gained the
largest number of people from 2022 to 2023, reflecting continued population growth
across the South. U.S. migration patterns played a significant role in the South’s
population growth. Many people moved to this region, contributing to its overall positive
net domestic migration (more people moving in from the rest of the United States than
moving out to other parts of the United States). From 2022 to 2023, 28 of the top 30
metro areas with the highest positive domestic migration were in the South.
According to the Winter 2024 Florida Forecast prepared by the Institute for Economic
Competitiveness at the University of Central Florida, Florida’s economy, as measured by
real Gross State Product, will expand at an average annual rate of 2.5% from 2024 to
2027. Real Gross State Product will decelerate during the economic slowdown as growth
will slow to 3.3% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025, then accelerate to reach 2.5% by 2026 and
ease to 2.1% in 2027.
Payroll job growth in Florida will begin to gradually decelerate as the economy remains
at full employment. After year-over-year growth of 5.7% in 2022, payroll employment in
2023 was 3.4% but will slow to 2.0% in 2024 and drift lower to 0.6% by 2027.

Housing starts have felt the bitter chill of higher mortgage rates. Total starts were
193,500 in 2022—before higher mortgage rates and worries of a slowing economy
started a deceleration that will slow starts to 157,072 in 2027.
The unemployment rate fell to 2.7% in 2023. The slower economy will push the rate up
to 3.1% in 2024, and to 3.6% in 2025 before creeping to 3.8% in 2027.
COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Collier County has long been an attractive place to retire and it continues to be an area
that experiences a great deal of seasonal population increases. According to the Collier
County Comprehensive Planning Department, Collier County’s population increases up
to 25% between November and April due to seasonal residents and short-term
agricultural workers in the Immokalee area. The population increase creates a high
degree of seasonality within the retail, service, and hospitality sectors of Collier County’s
economy.
Collier County is located less than 150 miles from Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Miami,
Sarasota, and West Palm Beach as shown in the following table.

U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice
evaluated the country’s 150 most populous metropolitan areas based on affordability, job
prospects and desirability. The 2024 25 Best Places to Retire includes six Florida metro
areas with Daytona Beach the top Florida market at No. 8. Tampa is No. 12 overall while
Sarasota is No. 18. Naples is ranked 6th overall in the 2023-2024 Best Places to Live
report released by U.S. News & World Report and Sarasota is ranked 5th.
Naples ranks No. 1 in the annual U.S. News & World Report Best Places to Live in the
U.S. Sarasota, was ranked No. 11.
Employment
The local economy is largely dependent on the real estate market. Naples is one of the
wealthiest areas in Florida, and it has seen significant population and job growth over the
past several years. As migration from state to state has returned to pre-pandemic levels,
the Naples region has seen population and job growth slow over the past year.

According to the 1Q 2025 CoStar report, like many parts of Florida, population growth
has been a main driver for commercial real estate expansion over the past few years.
However, Collier County’s relative affordability compared to other areas in the state has
kept population trends muted.
Population growth peaked between 2021 and 2022 when the market added roughly
10,300 new residents. That dropped down to 6,800 new residents between 2022 and
2023, and that trend is expected to continue when the census releases more recent figures
in early 2025.
Healthcare is a driving force of Collier County’s economy and is the largest share of the
market's employment base. Many of the hospital systems are the largest employer in the
market. In addition, Arthrex, a medical device manufacturing company, has a large
presence in the market and employs nearly 4,000 people.

Employment
The annual Collier County rate peaked in 2010 at 11.6% and had declined steadily since
until the spike from the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020. Since the pandemic,
unemployment numbers have generally decreased as the economy continues to improve.
Page 4155 of 14062

As of December 2024, the unemployment rate for the State of Florida was 3.4%, down
from the peak in May 2020 of 14.3%. On a national level, the unemployment rate in
December 2024 was 4.1%, a decrease from the peak in April 2020 of 14.8%. Collier
County currently has a higher November rate, at 3.5%, than state levels and lower rate
than national levels.
The local economy is largely dependent on the real estate market. The following table
from the U.S. Department of Labor shows Naples/Immokalee/Marco Island employment
from 2014 through 2024. As shown, unemployment from the Covid-19 pandemic
affected the service and leisure and hospitality sectors the most. All sectors have regained
all lost jobs and have exceeded 2019 levels.

Naples - Immokalee - Marco Island
Collier County and the entire Southwest Florida Region is substantially dependent on the
real estate and construction sectors. Therefore, the area has been and should be more
susceptible to cyclical fluctuations that have occurred in other areas dominated by a
single industry. The Southwest Florida Economic Development Alliance reports key
employers in Southwest Florida (Collier, Lee and Charlotte County) from Biofuels,
healthcare, technology, apparel design, to sugar production are a driving force behind the
region’s success. The table below provides a few examples of some key employers in
Southwest Florida.

Development
Growth continues to shift east with Ave Maria becoming the top-selling single-family
residential community in Collier County and was recently ranked as one of the Top 20
Selling Master-Planned Communities in the United States. It has maintained the top
ranking in the Naples-Fort Myers market for the past eight years. Ave Maria reported a
total of 600 new home sales in 2024 and 652 new home sales in 2023. It is the highest -
ranking community in all of Collier County. There are currently four residential builders
in Ave Maria, CC Homes, Del Webb Naples, Lennar and Pulte Homes. The grand
opening of The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria, a bundled golf community
by Lennar, was held on January 7, 2021. The Immokalee Road corridor between Naples
and Ave Maria is projected to see thousands of new homes developed in the next few
years. According to a June 2023 Naples Daily News article, Collier County
commissioners approved an increase in the town of Ave Maria by nearly 1,000 acres to
5,000 acres which doesn’t include the roughly 1,000-acre Ave Maria University campus
and other public benefits such as parks. According to David Genson, president of
development for Barron Collier Cos., while more single-family homes will be built, the
maximum number of residences won’t change, with the cap remaining at 11,000. With
the way the town was originally laid out, it would have supported about 8,400 units
without adding more land. The original plans called for 60% of the homes to be single-
family which will increase to more than 80%. Approximately 50% of the buyers are from
the east coast of Florida.

In January 2020, in what has been described as one of the most important votes for the
future of growth in Collier County, commissioners approved Rivergrass Village. The
village is the first of three planned 1,000-acre villages stretching from just north of Oil
Well Road to east of Golden Gate Boulevard East. Rivergrass Village will allow for up to
2,500 homes; 100,000 square feet of retail and office uses and a minium of 25,000 square
feet for civic government, and institutional buildings. Longwater Village will allow for
up to 2,600 homes; 65,000 square feet of retail and office space and 25,000 square feet
for civic government, and institutional buildings and Bellmar Village will allow for up to
2,750 homes; 85,000 square feet of retail and office space and 27,500 square feet for
civic government, and institutional buildings. In a near unanimous decision, the Collier
County Planning Commission agreed to recommend approval of Longwater in March
2021. The project has sparked controversy because the property sits in the
environmentally sensitive Rural Lands Stewardship Area, or RLSA. Commissioners
voted to approve the Longwater and Bellmar Villages on June 8, 2021. The
commissioners approved Brightshore, another rural village with thousands of proposed
homes in December 2022.

Square, a 55-acre mixed-use development located on the southeast corner of Immokalee
Road and Collier Boulevard in January 2020. The development is anchored by The
Pointe, a collection of 10 separate restaurants and other retail tenants. It also includes a
400-unit Class A apartment community, known as The Haldeman; a 35,000 square foot
medical office building leased by Physicians Regional Medical Healthcare; and
StorQuest a 110,000 square foot self-storage facility.
Seed to Table, a new Oakes Farm grocery store at the northeast corner of Livingston and
Immokalee Roads in North Naples opened in December 2019. The former Albertson's
was completely gutted and consists of 77,000+ square foot store with sit-down dining, a
full-service bar, three bars for beer and wine, wine room with samples on tap, a wood-
fired brick oven for pizza, a raw bar, sushi bar, grilling area, coffee bar and stations
preparing fresh pasta, guacamole, cheese, cut vegetables, sandwiches, smoothies and
even homemade ice cream with indoor-outdoor seating.
Paradise Coast Sports Complex, is Collier County’s new $100 million Amateur Sports
Complex. The county hopes to become a destination for traveling youth sports teams and
amateur athletes. While the focus of the complex is athletics, with 20 fields between
soccer, baseball and softball, plus a 10,000-person championship stadium, the goal is to
get people to stay after the game is over with The Cove and The Factory. The Cove is a
bar and food truck area for patrons to relax, listen to live music and play a variety of yard
games (bag toss, oversized Connect Four and Jenga, plus ping pong). The Factory is an
outdoor workout facility focusing on functional fitness (similar to CrossFit) which is
available on a monthly membership basis. Additionally, the man-made lake next to The
Cove includes a 2/3 mile jogging loop with three workout stations. There is a climbing
wall for public use and a beach volleyball court.
Collier County Commissioners approved a $15 million economic development agreement
on June 22, 2021 for The Great Wolf Lodge. The Lodge is built on 20 acres of land along
City Gate Boulevard North and feature a 100,000 square foot indoor water park, 500-
room hotel, and 62,000 square feet of amenities and attractions. The resort opened in
September 2024 and has 600 full-time and part-time employees.
Investment Trends
The following CoStar data shows Collier County trends in the Multi-Family, Retail,
Office, and Industrial sectors as of the first quarter 2025.
According to the CoStar report, multifamily investment is down across Florida, and
Collier County is no exception, with limited trades over the past year.
Page 4161 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 19
There have been less than a handful of transactions over the past 12 months totaling $114
million in sales volume. The bulk of that occurred in one transaction in the final months
of 2024. Prior to that trade, less than $15 million had been transacted over the course of
the year.
Ohio-based PLK Communities purchased the 286-Mark Lane Apartments for $82
million, or $285,000 per unit. The 2022-built 4 Star complex was 80% at the time of sale
with a monthly average rent of $2,800. Multifamily fundamentals are challenged in the
Collier County market, which could keep transaction volumes down over the coming
quarters.
According to the CoStar Report, the Collier County retail sales volumes fell back in line
with historical norms in 2024, with Collier County ending the year with $170 million in
total sales volume. That was down from a three-year run of sales activity averaging
Page 4162 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 20
around $400 million annually. Further, the fourth quarter of 2024 was the first time in
five years that the market did not surpass $25 million in quarterly sales volume.
A significant portion of 2024's sales volume came from one sale. Benderson
Development purchased Carillon Place from SITE Centers in June for $55 million, or
$218/SF. The 250,000-SF Power Center was 92% leased at the time of sale and was
anchored by a Walmart grocery store, TJMaxx, and DSW. That transaction was the
exception and not the norm for Naples in 2024, as the average sale price was around $2.8
million when that sale was removed.
According to the CoStar Report, office investment activity picked up in the third quarter
of 2024 on the back of one of the few $20 million-plus trades over the past five years.
One trade in July was more than what the market recorded over the first six months of
Page 4163 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 21
2024. However, it is not abnormal for Collier County to see a few down quarters. In fact,
Collier County only recorded $1.5 million in 2024Q4. Sales are typically on the smaller
side, with an average sale price of just $1.5 million over the past year.
The largest trade this year was the $21.5 million, or $310/SF, acquisition of the Truist
Building along Laurel Oak Drive by Massachusetts-based Carruth Capital from American
National Insurance Company. The 68,000-SF, 3 Star office building was more than 90%
leased at the time of sale with tenants such as Truist Bank, BMO Harris Bank, and Collier
County government offices. The seller purchased the property in 2015 for $23.7 million,
or $350/SF, at a 6% cap rate.
According to the CoStar report, industrial activity stalled over the latter half of 2024 after
opening the year with two strong quarters. Collier County has been one of the most
consistent markets in Florida, with the region achieving over $80 million in total sales
Page 4164 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 22
volume for five consecutive years. In comparison, the market would typically only see
around $55 million pre-pandemic.
Over the past year, the market has recorded $106 million in total sales volume. Pricing
has remained more or less the same over the past several years, averaging around
$183/SF, as of the first quarter of 2025. Sales are typically on the smaller side, with an
average sale price of just under $2.5 million. Collier County is not reliant on institutional
investors, and as such, future investment volumes should be in line with current volumes.
Income
Personal income is a significant factor in determining the real estate demand in a given
market. The following table shows Collier County households by income from the
Page 4165 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Page 23
CCIM Site to do Business. Overall, Collier County has an average household income of
$135,508 and a per capita income of $57,867.
Conclusion
The long term economic outlook for Collier County is positive. The area lures people
from all over the country for tourism as well as retirement, with the beaches and weather
considered major demand drivers.
The projected growth in population and employment provide an economic base that
supports demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property.
These conditions have resulted in increasing property values and should stimulate
continued increases within the foreseeable future. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the
residential market had stabilized after several years of an expansion period, with
sustained growth in demand and increasing construction. Since the coronavirus
pandemic, residential demand increased significantly with record sales in 2020 and
continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and 2022. Inventory increased in
2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued increases in interest rates. Pricing
has generally stabilized and is projected to remain fairly stable through 2025.
According to the Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR), there was a record $18.2
billion in sales in Collier County during 2020. Demand eclipsed all expectations in 2021
with a 25.8% increase in overall sales in 2021 and a 20.3% increase in median closed
price (year over year). The 2024 Annual Market Report released by NABOR reported
total sales decreased 10.0% in 2024 and the overall median sales price incrased 1.7% to
$610,000 for the year. Single Family home prices increased 2.0% percent compared to
last year, and Condo home prices remained flat.
Generally, the commercial market lags the residential market. The significant residential
demand since the pandemic has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with
an increased demand for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decrease in the federal
funds rate, as well as the projected future decreases through 2025, are expected to further
stabilize the commercial market and potentially increase demand for both residential and
commercial property.
Finally, it is noted that Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 storm, made landfall in Southwest
Florida on September 28, 2022, and caused widespread wind and storm surge damage.

In addition to the funding received for the farm worker housing project, the Collier
County Housing Authority has been awarded grants and loans from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture to build units at Farm Worker Village in Immokalee.
Arrowhead Reserve is a 307.3 acre development of which 274 acres are located in the
Low Residential District on the Immokalee Future Land Use Map. Within this district,
15 acres are proposed for commercial use and the district permits 4 dwelling units per
acre or 1,245 units on 259 acres. The 15 acres of commercial land will be consistent with
C-2, C-3 and C-4 zoning and will be allowed a maximum of 130,000 square feet of
improvements. The amenities include 15 lakes, a community park with clubhouse and
pool, a second clubhouse and pool for the apartments, recreation trails, over 40 acres of
open space and preserve which creates a wildlife corridor. The community consists of
single family homes, town homes, and multi-family apartments. The decline in residential
supply has continued to increase the price of homes in Arrowhead Reserve. As of late
April 2021, pricing for a three-bedroom, two-bath home began at $199,900. The 150-
home community sold out in early 2022.
Phase One of the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County Bolch Campus in Immokalee
opened in October 2016 and consists of a 27,786 square foot youth center with
classrooms, game rooms, a teen center, a library, kitchen, and dance and art rooms. The
facility hosts an after-school program serving over 400 children. Construction for the
second and third phases consisting of a 14,000 square foot gymnasium and outdoor
pavilion; a 5,000 square foot swimming pool; a weight room; and an athletic field will be
completed by DeAngelis Diamond.
Additionally, a new business incubator is a major part of the Immokalee Area Master
Plan that will support an assembly area for tenants of a manufacturing incubator that
opened at the airport in 2009. In March 2017 Collier officials celebrated the start of
construction of a culinary accelerator for entrepreneurs. A vacant building at Immokalee
Regional Airport was transformed into a state-of-the-art food manufacturing plant. The
5,274 square foot facility includes a commercial-grade kitchen with ovens, grills, fryers, a
bakery, heat pasteurization, industrial-size mixing bowls and other cooking tools and
equipment. The state-funded $1.2 million center also includes areas for packaging,
labeling and shipping. The facility, which had been delayed for several months due to
unforeseen regulatory issues, opened in March 2018.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria earned the 18th spot on the prestigious list of 50 Top-Selling Master-Planned
Communities in the United States by prominent national real estate consulting agency,
John Burns Research and Consulting, in their 2024 annual report. The community
reported 600 new home sales in 2024, securing its position as the top-ranking
development in Collier County. There are currently 5,200 new homes sold in Ave Maria
with a total of 11,000 new homes anticipated at build out.

Collier Rod & Gun Club
Located on more than 2,000 acres, the Collier Rod & Gun Club will include single-
family seasonal residences and member-only rental cabins. Amenities will include a Kyle
Phillips-designed 18-hole masterpiece, sporting club for up to 300 members and an
extensive trail system designed around the natural terrain. The proposal includes 225
single-family homes, or "cabins," on about 260 acres. The walkable community includes
a 2.8-acre linear park, with commercial development capped at 5,000 square feet. "The
Homestead" would serve as a hub for goods and services, offering everything from a
general store and market garden to dining, fitness, wellness and environmental education.
The sports and recreational camp would offer fishing and archery, in addition to shooting
and golf.
Outlook and Conclusions
The expected growth in Collier County should provide an economic base that supports
demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property. These
conditions should stimulate increases in general property values within the foreseeable
future.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the residential market had stabilized after several
years of an expansion period, with sustained growth in demand and increasing
construction. Since the coronavirus pandemic, residential demand increased significantly
with record sales in 2020 and continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and
2022. Inventory increased in 2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued
increases in interest rates. Pricing has generally stabilized and is projected to remain
fairly stable through 2025.
Generally, the commercial market lags the residential market. The significant residential
demand since the pandemic has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with
an increased demand for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decreases in the federal

Environmental Condition (REC) in connection with the Subject
Property was identified associated with the “likely” historic
application of agricultural chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, etc.) on
the Subject Property. ETE considers the risk level of this REC to be
low and recommendations may be further discussed based on
intended use of the Subject Property (see Section 8.0 – Opinion, for
additional details). It includes six aboveground diesel storage tanks.
Encumbrance / Easements: A current title report was not provided for the purpose of this
appraisal. We are not aware of any easement, restrictions, or
encumbrances that would adversely affect value. Therefore, our
Page 4175 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL SITE ANALYSIS
Page 33
valuation assumes the subject has a clear and marketable title with
no adverse easement, restrictions, or encumbrances.
Site Comments: The site includes 439 acres or 19,122,840 square feet. It has
frontages along Immokalee Road (7,585± feet) and two separated
segments along Stockade Road (355± and 205± feet). In discussions
with the Immokalee Water and Sewer District, it was determined that
utility lines exist along Stockade Road for the service of the
Immokalee Jail. The adjacent Seminole Reservation operates their
own water and sewer utility. The subject consists of approximately
69± acres of wetlands (as estimated by a GIS survey prepared by
Barron Collier Companies). Per wetlands mapper from the US Fish
& Wildlife survey, the property includes 14.07± acres of Freshwater
Forested/Shrub wetlands, 17.11± acres of freshwater pond with the
remaining 37.82± acres being Freshwater Emergent wetlands. The
irrigation pond is constructed with dike wall and has irrigation canals
which serviced the former citrus grove. It is primarily located in an
AH flood zone with some AE exposure and minimal X zones.
Leases
Ownership indicated that there are agricultural leases associated with the property. The
leases were not disclosed to these appraisers and ownership indicated that they are short
term. We reserve the right to readdress valuation upon disclosure of any long term leases.
Utilities
The following was received from Gary Ferrante with Weston & Sampson regarding
availability of nearby utilities from Immokalee Water & Sewer.
“There is an existing 12” water main that runs along Stockade Road from
the South 9th Water Treatment Plant to SR 29. Based on the 267 acres
being developed at 4 units per acre, and each unit having an average water
demand of 300 gallons per day, results in an average flow rate of 222.5
gallons per minute. Using a peaking factor of 3.5, the peak flow rate
would be 778 gallons per minute. The existing 12” water main would have
sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development.”
“There is an existing small lift station and 4” force main that serves the jail
complex. Based on the flow values calculated above for the proposed
development, the existing lift station and force main would not be able to
serve the proposed development. Therefore, a new larger capacity lift
station with a 12” force main would be necessary to provide sewer service
for the proposed development. Typically, the developer would be
responsible for these improvements.”

Southern 172± acres
The subject is identified as Open Lands within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area
(RLSA).
The Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program was established under the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Its objective
is the creation of an incentive-based land use overlay system based on the principles of
rural land stewardship found in Florida Statutes, Section 163.3177(11), including
environmental preservation, agricultural preservation and smart growth development.
Through the RLSA program, Stewardship Sending Areas (SSAs) can be approved for
preservation purposes, creating credits to entitle Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRAs),
typically towns, villages, hamlets and compact rural developments (CRDs). The credit
system is designed to incentivize preservation of the most important environmental lands,
including large, connected wetland systems and significant habitat for listed species, by
awarding higher credit values for high value preservation areas.
Qualifying properties can increase their development density and expand permitted uses
through an application process as well as the transfer and receipt of Stewardship Credits.
The maximum permitted density under the Agricultural (A) zoning district is 1 dwelling
unit per 5 acres. Qualifying properties can apply through the RLSA application process to
increase residential development up to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre.
The SRA designation is intended to encourage and facilitate uses that enable economic
prosperity and diversification of the economic base of the RLSA District, and encourage
development that utilizes creative land use planning techniques and facilitates a compact
form of development to accommodate population growth by the establishment of SRAs.
Stewardship Credits generated from SSAs are exchanged for additional residential or
non-residential entitlements in an SRA on a per acre basis. Density and intensity within
the RLSA District shall not be increased beyond the Baseline Standards except through
the provisions of the Stewardship Credit System, the affordable housing density Bonus as
referenced in the density Rating System of the FLUE, and the density and intensity
blending provision of the Immokalee Area Master Plan.
The overall purpose and description of the Rural Stewardship program is defined in the
Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay found in the in the Future Land Use
Element. A Stewardship Credit system has been established that shall serve as the
primary basis for the protection of Flow way Stewardship Areas (FSAs), Habitat
Stewardship Areas (HSAs) and Water Retention Areas (WRAs). The RLSA Overlay also
contains policies that shall direct incompatible land uses away from FSAs, HSAs and
WRAs in order to protect wetlands, upland habitats and listed species within the RLSA.

REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The real estate tax assessment of the subject is administered by Collier County. In 2008,
Florida voters amended the Constitution to give non-homestead property owners some
protection against increases in their annual property tax assessments. As amended, the
Florida Constitution now prohibits the assessment of certain non-homestead property
from increasing by more than 10% per year. The 10% cap applies to most types of
commercial property, including non-homestead residential property (i.e. apartments and
other rental property) and nonresidential property (i.e. commercial property and vacant
land). The cap was set to expire on January 1, 2019; however, in November 2018 Florida
voters amended the Constitution to make the cap permanent. The protection of the 10%
cap is lost when there is a change of ownership or control.
The subject property includes portions of Folios 00137640003 and 00138120001 and all
of Folio 00137760103. The property tax identification number and assessed value of the

The 2023 and 2024 taxes have been paid. Folios 00137640003 and 00137760103 have an
millage rate at 13.3200. Folio 00138120001 has a millage rate at 12.1851. There are no
special assessments.
In reviewing the proportional share to the subject 439 acre parent tract, the tax
assessment for subject property is currently $1,288 per acre or $8,797 per acre excluding
the agricultural exemptions. Based on our valuation analysis, the subject’s assessment
appears low.

SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Page 58
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use may be defined as:
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four
criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity. 1
▪ Physically possible for the land to accommodate the size and shape of the
ideal improvement.
▪ Legally permissible under the zoning regulations, building codes,
environmental regulations, and other restrictions that apply to the site. A
property use that is either currently allowed or most probably allowable.
▪ Financially feasible to generate sufficient income to support the use.
▪ Maximally productive, or capable of producing the highest value from
among the permissible, possible, and financially feasible uses.
Highest and Best Use As Vacant
Physically Possible
The subject site is 439.00 acres or 19,122,840 square feet with 7,585± feet of frontage
along Immokalee Road / 1st Street (Two laned, primary arterial) and two segments at
355± and 205± feet along Stockade Road (two laned collector street). The physical
characteristics of the subject tract should reasonably accommodate any use that is not
restricted by its size.
The subject property is located on the outskirts of Immokalee. Utilities, water and sewer,
are just offsite to the north. The sewer lines will require upgrades for residential
development. The subject's utilities are typical and adequate for the market area. The site
is roughly flag shaped.
The site is located primarily in flood zone AH with some AE and minimal X area per
FEMA Flood Map Number: 12021C 0145 H, dated May 16, 2012. Zones AH and AE
are classified as a flood hazard area.
There are no known physical reasons that would unusually restrict development. The site
is considered to have a functional utility suitable for a variety of uses.
Legally Permissible
The subject site is zoned Rural Agricultural District within the Mobile Home Overlay
(MHO) (A-MHO), which allows single family homes, agricultural activities, family care
facilities, schools, and conservation.
1 The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal 7th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022)
Page 4201 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Page 59
The purpose of the rural agricultural district is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral
and rural land uses by accommodating traditional agricultural related activities and
facilities and support facilities. The (MHO) district is intended to apply to those
agricultural areas where a mixture of housing types is found to be appropriate within the
district. It is intended that mobile homes allowed under this section shall be erected only
in the Rural Agricultural district and only when the requirements and procedures of this
section are met.
The subject property includes two future land use designations. The northern sections at
267± acres are subject to the Immokalee Area Master Plan prepared by Collier County
Growth Management. The southern 172± acres is part of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan.
In the Immokalee Master Plan, the future land use is Low Residential Subdistrict (LR).
The purpose of this subdistrict is to provide for low density residential development and
supporting uses. Mobile homes are allowed pursuant to the provisions of IAMP Policy
5.1.4. Residential densities are allowed as provided below, except for properties within
the Lake Trafford/Camp Keais Strand System Overlay. Base density is four (4) dwelling
units per gross acre. Maximum density is eight (8) dwelling units per gross acre, inclusive
of all density bonuses. Densities above the base density can only be achieved through
available density bonuses.
For the Collier County area, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program was
established under the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan
(GMP). Its objective is the creation of an incentive-based land use overlay system based
on the principles of rural land stewardship found in Florida Statutes, Section
163.3177(11), including environmental preservation, agricultural preservation and smart
growth development.
Through the RLSA program, Stewardship Sending Areas (SSAs) can be approved for
preservation purposes, creating credits to entitle Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRAs),
typically towns, villages, hamlets and compact rural developments (CRDs). The credit
system is designed to incentivize preservation of the most import environmental lands,
including large, connected wetland systems and significant habitat for listed species, by
awarding higher credit values for high value preservation areas.
Qualifying properties can increase their development density and expand permitted uses
through an application process as well as the transfer and receipt of Stewardship Credits.
The maximum permitted density under the Agricultural (A) zoning district is 1 dwelling
unit per 5 acres. Qualifying properties can apply through the RLSA application process to
increase residential development up to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre.
Recognizing the principle of conformity, we consider the prevailing land use patterns in
the area. Therefore, only agricultural or future residential uses are given further
consideration in determining the highest and best use of the site, as if vacant.

Financially Feasible
Financial feasibility is an analysis of the ability of a property to generate sufficient
income to support the use, or a reasonable probability of producing a positive income
stream net of operating expenses, financial costs, and capital amortization.
The projected growth in population and employment provide an economic base that
supports demand for real estate in the subject neighborhood and for the subject property.
These conditions have resulted in increasing property values and should stimulate
continued increases within the foreseeable future. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the
residential market had stabilized after several years of an expansion period, with
sustained growth in demand and increasing construction. Since the coronavirus
pandemic, residential demand increased significantly with record sales in 2020 and
continued high demand but limited inventory in 2021 and 2022. Inventory increased in
2023 and 2024 as demand declined due to continued increases in interest rates. Pricing
has generally stabilized and is projected to remain fairly stable through 2025.
The recent 50 basis point decrease and subsequent 25 basis point decreases in the federal
funds rate, as well as the projected future decreases through 2025, are expected to further
stabilize the commercial market and potentially increase demand for both residential and
commercial property.
On this basis, barring unforeseen changes in the market, agricultural use with future
residential development of product that is appropriately marketed and priced, should be
received favorably by the market.
Maximally Productive
The maximally productive land use yields the highest value of the possible uses.
Agricultural use and future residential development consistent with both future land use
designations is the only use that meets the tests of physically possible, legally
permissible, and financially feasible. Therefore, agricultural use and future residential
development consistent with both future land use designations is concluded to be the
maximally productive and highest and best use of the site.
Highest and Best Use as Improved
No improvements are situated on the site. Therefore, a highest and best analysis as
improved is not applicable.
Most Probable Buyer
Considering the size, class, and location of the property, the most probable buyer is an
owner-user, investor or developer.

SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Page 61
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Three basic approaches may be used to arrive at an estimate of market value. They are:
1. The Cost Approach
2. The Sales Comparison Approach
3. The Income Approach
Cost Approach
The Cost Approach estimates the current cost to construct the existing structure including
an entrepreneurial incentive, depreciation, and the estimated land value. This approach is
particularly applicable when the improvements represent the highest and best use of the
land and are relatively new. It is also applicable when the property has unique or
specialized improvements for which there is little or no sales data from comparable
properties.
Sales Comparison Approach
The Sales Comparison Approach compares sales of similar properties with the subject
property. Each comparable sale is adjusted for its inferior or superior characteristics. The
values derived from the adjusted comparable sales form a range of value for the subject.
By process of correlation and analysis, a final indicated value is derived. This approach is
most reliable in an active market, and is least reliable when valuing a property for which
no direct comparable sales data is available.
Income Approach
The Income Approach converts the anticipated flow of future benefits (cash flows and
reversion) to a present value estimate through a capitalization and or a discounting
process. This approach generally reflects a typical investor’s perception of the
relationship between the potential income of a property and its market value.
Final Reconciliation
The appraisal process concludes with the Final Reconciliation of the values derived from
the approaches applied for a single estimate of market value. The reconciliation of the
approaches is based on an evaluation of the quantity and quality of the available data in
each approach. Furthermore, different properties require different means of analysis and
lend themselves to one approach over the others.

SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Page 62
ANALYSES APPLIED
A cost analysis was considered and was not developed because there are no
improvements that contribute value to the property.
A sales comparison analysis was considered and was developed because typically this is
the most appropriate approach for the valuation of vacant land. This approach is
applicable to the subject because there is an active market for similar properties and
sufficient sales data is available for analysis.
An income analysis was considered and was not developed because the subject is not
likely to generate rental income as vacant land.
Page 4205 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Page 63
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach is based on the premise that a buyer would pay no more
for a specific property than the cost of obtaining a property with the same quality, utility,
and perceived benefits of ownership. It is based on the principles of supply and demand,
balance, substitution and externalities. The following steps describe the applied process
of the Sales Comparison Approach.
• The market in which the subject property competes is investigated; comparable
sales, contracts for sale and current offerings are reviewed.
• The most pertinent data is further analyzed and the quality of the transaction is
determined.
• The most meaningful unit of value for the subject property is determined.
• Each comparable sale is analyzed and where appropriate, adjusted to equate with
the subject property.
• The value indication of each comparable sale is analyzed and the data reconciled
for a final indication of value via the Sales Comparison Approach.
Land Comparables
We have researched six comparables for this analysis; these are documented on the
following pages followed by a location map and analysis grid. All sales have been
researched through numerous sources, inspected and verified by a party to the
transaction. For this analysis, we use the price per acre as the appropriate unit of
comparison because market participants typically compare sale prices and property
values on this basis.

Comparable Land Sale Adjustments
Comparable 3 was a former sports park. It was marketed for a variety of uses. No
adjustment could be supported for the improvements for the failed sports park; therefore,
none is made.
Comparable 4 included a small residence, mobile home and pole barn. No adjustment
could be supported; therefore, none is made.
Comparable 6 include several cabins. It was marketed at land value and no adjustment
was indicated.
Property Rights
All of the comparables transferred in fee simple interest; therefore, no adjustments for
property rights are required.
Financing
All of the comparable sales had market orientated financing or were cash transactions;
therefore, no adjustments for financing are required.
Conditions of Sale
All of the comparable sales were arm’s length transactions; therefore, no adjustments for
conditions of sale are required.
Comparable 6 is a pending sale. The price shown in the grid is the pending sale price. We
consider the property was exposed to the open market, but the seller decided to contract
with Collier County. This will be considered in reconciliation.

Economic Trends
The following graph developed from CoStar shows raw residential and agricultural land
sales in the Charlotte, Collier, Lee County marketplace since January 1, 2021. The survey
was limited to properties greater than 75 acres. Certain outliers were excluded including
developed subdivisions and multi-family lands.
The survey included 38 transactions. Prices per acre ranged from $1,718 to $149,745 per
acre and averaged $36,042 per acre. Properties ranged from 79 to 2,755 acres and
averaged 477 acres. The graph indicates an increasing trend in sales prices from January
2021 through the current date. However, it is noted this is unadjusted raw data and does
not relate directly to the subject.
The analyses and value opinion in this appraisal are based on the data available to the
appraiser at the time of the assignment and apply only as of the effective date indicated.
No analyses or opinions contained in this appraisal should be construed as predictions of
future market conditions or value. The significant residential demand since the pandemic
has generally stabilized the commercial market overall with an increased demand and
significant price increases for the industrial sector and select retail and office properties.
Additionally, we consider the rapid price increases during and just following the
pandemic. This period included significant population surge in all three counties which
increased demand for residential developments.
The subject tract is agricultural in current use with future residential potential. Based on
the previous analysis, we have applied a 15.0% annual adjustment though December 31,
2022 and a 5.0% annual adjustment from 2022 through the current date.

Location
The following table summarizes the population growth, average household income and
home values within a two mile radius.
Subject and Comparable 6 are located in Collier County. Comparables 1, 2 and 5 are
located in Lee County. Comparables 3 and 4 are located in Charlotte County.
The subject property is located on the outskirts of Immokalee. Utilities, water and sewer,
are just offsite to the north. The sewer lines will require upgrades for residential
development. It has the second highest population density but the with significantly lower
household incomes and home values.
Comparables 1 and 2 are in a future development corridor along Palm Beach Blvd/State
Road 80. Utilities are reportedly several miles west of these sites. The Alva area has half
the population density of subject but significantly higher household incomes and home
values.
Comparables 3 and 4 are rural in character with no available utilities nearby or
anticipated in the future. These comparables are agricultural in character although
Comparable 3 was once employed as a sports park.
Comparable 5 is in SE Lee County near the Corkscrew corridor at the Lee and Collier
border. This area is rural in character but long-term prognosis is for the extension of the
Corkscrew road corridor development occurring several miles to the west. There is no
near term availability of utilities.
Comparable 6 is located in the North Belle Meade near an area of Golden Gate
Estates/Rural Estates. While the North Belle Meade is sparsely populated with poor road

and trial access, the Estates area is generally subdivided into 1.14 to 2.25 acre tracts. Well
and septic is required in the North Belle Meade and the Estates. This area has the highest
population density due to its proximity to Greater Naples.
Subject and Comparables 1 through 4 are located on primary arterials. In the evaluation
of the sites, emphasis is given to subject’s availability to utilities. We note that a cost
estimate for the extension of the sewer line was not made available to these appraisers.
All comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.
Size
The following was developed with data from the trend analysis survey.
Size and price per acre are typically inversely related; therefore Comparable 3 is adjusted
upward for its larger size while Comparables 2, 5, and 6 are adjusted downward for their
smaller size.
Topography / Wetlands
The subject property overall includes a mixture of mostly crop lands and a former citrus
grove. It includes Fresh Emergent Wetlands, Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetlands and
Freshwater Ponds.
Comparables 1 and 4 are crop lands with minimal to no wetlands exposure. Comparable
2 had significant vegetation and wetlands exposure. Comparable 3 had a mixture of
cleared, improved lands and moderate to heavy vegetation similar percentage wetlands to
subject. Comparable 5 was primarily crop land with a large percentage of wetlands
exposure. Comparable 6 had a mixture of cleared and moderate to heavy vegetation with
minimal wetlands.
All comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.

SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Page 73
Configuration
Comparable 1 includes two non-contiguous parcels. Comparable 2 is bisected by an
FP&L line. Both are adjusted for accordingly.
No adjustment could be quantified for configuration differences for Comparables 3, 4, 5,
and 6.
Zoning
All of the comparables are similar in terms of zoning.
The northern sections at 267± acres are subject to the Immokalee Area Master Plan
prepared by Collier County Growth Management. The southern 172± acres is part of the
Collier County Growth Management Plan.
In the Immokalee Master Plan, the future land use is Low Residential Subdistrict (LR).
Mobile homes are allowed pursuant to the provisions of IAMP Policy 5.1.4. Base density
is four (4) dwelling units per gross acre.
For the Collier County area, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program was
established under the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan
(GMP). The maximum permitted density under the Agricultural (A) zoning district is 1
dwelling unit per 5 acres. Qualifying properties can apply through the RLSA application
process to increase residential development up to a maximum of 4 dwelling units per
acre.
We have adjusted for the subject 267± acres which are located within the Low
Residential future land use designation.
Flood Zone
The subject and Comparable 6 are located within impacted AH and or AE flood zones.
Comparable 3 is partially impacted by its A zone location but is mostly X zone.
Comparables 1, 2, 4 and 5 all have superior X zone locations.
All comparables are evaluated and adjusted for accordingly.
Other Transactions
Neal Communities recently received rezoning approval to develop a 1,099 home
development on 788 acres of mostly agricultural land, with 420 acres preserved under
conservation easements. The tracts with multiple ownerships are located north of the
Caloosahatchee River between North River Road and Duke Highway in Lee County. The
RPD plan calls for over 60% of the land be open space, with 420 acres preserved under
conservation easements. Conditions also call for the creation of 300 acres of rare and
unique upland habitat and the restoration or protection of an additional 20 acres, allowing
a density incentive for additional homes over and above the one per acre that is called for
in the county Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.

The property benefits from its proximity to nearby Babcock Ranch and nearby urban
areas in Lee County via I-75. Per William H. Rollins, JR. CCIM, ALC with LSI
Companies, the property will be serviced by its own utility plant. Although he is not
involved in the transaction, he offered that land prices would be between $27,000 to
$29,000± per acre. He noted that Neal Communities incurred the time and cost of
rezoning. We could not independently confirm Mr. Rollins’ information.
Sales Comparison Approach Conclusion
All of the value indications have been considered. Comparables 1, 2 and 5 are in future
growth corridors similar to subject. Comparables 3 and 4 are located in rural areas that
will likely remain agricultural for the next 10 years. Comparable 6 is the only Collier
comparable. Finally, we again consider the northern 267± acres are located within the
Low Residential Subdistrict future land use designation. Based on the previous analysis,
we have reconciled to a per acre value of $24,000.

The process of reconciliation involves the analysis of each approach to value. The
quantity and quality of data applied the significance of each approach as it relates to
market behavior and defensibility of each approach are considered and weighed. Finally,
each is considered separately and comparatively with each other. As discussed
previously, we use only the sales comparison approach in developing an opinion of value
for the subject. The cost and income approaches are not applicable, and are not used.
FINAL VALUE CONCLUSION
Based on the data and analyses developed in this appraisal, we have reconciled to the
following value conclusion(s), as of January 8, 2025, subject to the Limiting Conditions
and Assumptions of this appraisal.
VALUE CONCLUSIONS
Appraisal Premise Interest Appraised Date of Value Value Conclusion
Market Value, As Is Fee Simple January 8, 2025 $10,540,000
Concluded Value per Acre $24,000
The value conclusion(s) are subject to the following hypothetical conditions and extraordinary
conditions. These conditions may affect the assignment results.
Hypothetical Conditions: None.
Extraordinary Assumptions: There is reportedly a required easement agreement by
Barron Collier to maintain the pumps and berms at the
Silver Strand III parcel for the benefit of the South Florida
Water Management District. There will also most likely be
a further reciprocation agreement for drainage
requirements once the parcel is developed. We are unable
to determine any impact on value; therefore, we conclude
the agreement will not affect value. We reserve the right to
readdress valuation should this assumption be proven
otherwise.
Exposure and Marketing Times
Exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal and is the
length of time the subject property would have been exposed for sale in the market had it
sold on the effective valuation date at the concluded market value. Marketing time is an
estimate of the amount of time it might take to sell a property at the estimated market
value immediately following the effective date of value.
Based on our review of recent sales transactions for similar properties and our analysis of
supply and demand in the local market it is our opinion that the probable marketing and
exposure time for the property is 12-16 months.

SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 78
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This appraisal is based on the following assumptions, except as otherwise noted in the
report.
1. The title is marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
encroachments, easements and restrictions. The property is under responsible
ownership and competent management and is available for its highest and best
use.
2. There are no existing judgments or pending or threatened litigation that could
affect the value of the property.
3. There are no hidden or undisclosed conditions of the land or of the improvements
that would render the property more or less valuable. Furthermore, there is no
asbestos in the property.
4. The revenue stamps placed on any deed referenced herein to indicate the sale
price are in correct relation to the actual dollar amount of the transaction.
5. The property is in compliance with all applicable building, environmental, zoning,
and other federal, state and local laws, regulations and codes.
6. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, but no warranty is
given for its accuracy.
This appraisal is subject to the following limiting conditions, except as otherwise
noted in the report.
1. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents our opinion as to the value of
the property appraised.
2. The conclusions stated in our appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the
appraisal, and no representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events.
3. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including,
without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code) are anticipated.
4. No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction
with this appraisal, and we reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value
opinions based upon any subsequent environmental impact studies. If any
environmental impact statement is required by law, the appraisal assumes that
such statement will be favorable and will be approved by the appropriate
regulatory bodies.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we are not required to give testimony,
respond to any subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with
reference to the property without compensation relative to such additional
employment.
6. We have made no survey of the property and assume no responsibility in
connection with such matters. Any sketch or survey of the property included in
this report is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be
Page 4221 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 79
scaled accurately for size. The appraisal covers the property as described in this
report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are assumed to be correct.
7. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights, if
any, and we have assumed that the property is not subject to surface entry for the
exploration or removal of such materials, unless otherwise noted in our appraisal.
8. We accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields.
Such considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other
legal matters such as legal title, geologic considerations such as soils and seismic
stability, and civil, mechanical, electrical, structural and other engineering and
environmental matters.
9. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and
improvements applies only under the reported highest and best use of the
property. The allocations of value for land and improvements must not be used in
conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used. The appraisal
report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal report shall
be utilized separately or out of context.
10. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions
as to value, the identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal
Institute) shall be disseminated through advertising media, public relations media,
news media or any other means of communication (including without limitation
prospectuses, private offering memoranda and other offering material provided to
prospective investors) without the prior written consent of the person signing the
report.
11. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report, obtained from third-
party sources are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified.
12. Any income and expense estimates contained in the appraisal report are used only
for the purpose of estimating value and do not constitute predictions of future
operating results.
13. If the property is subject to one or more leases, any estimate of residual value
contained in the appraisal may be particularly affected by significant changes in
the condition of the economy, of the real estate industry, or of the appraised
property at the time these leases expire or otherwise terminate.
14. No consideration has been given to personal property located on the premises or
to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property; only the real property
has been considered.
15. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the value stated in our
appraisal; we have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will
occur.
16. The value found herein is subject to these and to any other assumptions or
conditions set forth in the body of this report but which may have been omitted
from this list of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions.
Page 4222 of 14062
SILVER STRAND III SWAP PARCEL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Page 80
17. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates
and assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and
economic conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive
environment and other matters. Some estimates or assumptions, however,
inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may
occur; therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered by our analysis
will vary from our estimates, and the variations may be material.
18. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992.
We have not made a specific survey or analysis of any property to determine
whether the physical aspects of the improvements meet the ADA accessibility
guidelines. In as much as compliance matches each owner’s financial ability with
the cost to cure the non-conforming physical characteristics of a property, we
cannot comment on compliance to ADA. Given that compliance can change with
each owner’s financial ability to cure non-accessibility, the value of the subject
does not consider possible non-compliance. A specific study of both the owner’s
financial ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the
Department of Justice to determine compliance.
19. The appraisal report is prepared for the exclusive benefit of the Client, its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates. It may not be used or relied upon by any other party.
All parties who use or rely upon any information in the report without our written
consent do so at their own risk.
20. No studies have been provided to us indicating the presence or absence of
hazardous materials on the subject property or in the improvements, and our
valuation is predicated upon the assumption that the subject property is free and
clear of any environment hazards including, without limitation, hazardous wastes,
toxic substances and mold. No representations or warranties are made regarding
the environmental condition of the subject property and the person signing the
report shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist
or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such
conditions exist. Because we are not experts in the field of environmental
conditions, the appraisal report cannot be considered as an environmental
assessment of the subject property.
21. The person signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may
have noted in the appraisal report whether the subject property is located in an
identified Special Flood Hazard Area. We are not qualified to detect such areas
and therefore do not guarantee such determinations. The presence of flood plain
areas and/or wetlands may affect the value of the property, and the value
conclusion is predicated on the assumption that wetlands are non-existent or
minimal.
22. RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC is not a building or environmental inspector.
RKL Appraisal and Consulting, PLC does not guarantee that the subject property
is free of defects or environmental problems. Mold may be present in the subject
property and a professional inspection is recommended.

23. The appraisal report and value conclusion for an appraisal assumes the
satisfactory completion of construction, repairs or alterations in a workmanlike
manner.
24. The intended use of the appraisal is stated in the General Information section of
the report. The use of the appraisal report by anyone other than the Client is
prohibited except as otherwise provided. Accordingly, the appraisal report is
addressed to and shall be solely for the Client’s use and benefit unless we provide
our prior written consent. We expressly reserve the unrestricted right to withhold
our consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report (or any part thereof
including, without limitation, conclusions of value and our identity), to any third
parties. Stated again for clarification, unless our prior written consent is obtained,
no third party may rely on the appraisal report (even if their reliance was
foreseeable).
25. All prospective value estimates presented in this report are estimates and forecasts
which are prospective in nature and are subject to considerable risk and
uncertainty. In addition to the contingencies noted in the preceding paragraph,
several events may occur that could substantially alter the outcome of our
estimates such as, but not limited to changes in the economy, interest rates, and
capitalization rates, behavior of consumers, investors and lenders, fire and other
physical destruction, changes in title or conveyances of easements and deed
restrictions, etc. It is assumed that conditions reasonably foreseeable at the present
time are consistent or similar with the future.

bisected by east and west FPL easement at 100 feet. Water and sewer are approximately 5 miles west on State Road 80 from the site per Mr.
Ward. Future Land Use is Urban Community which allows up to 6 units per acre. Buyers are investors who relisted the property at
$9,000,000 with a long term view. The previous owner started a rezoning process; however, the application was withdrawn before its
completion. Previous discussion and submission to the county contemplated 694 residential units, 200,000 square feet of Commercial
Development, and a 150-key hotel. This plan made it quite a way through the rezoning process, and an extensive amount of engineering
work was completed. However, the application was ultimately withdrawn by a previous owner. The current owner is in the process of
rekindling this failed zoning to see the project through.

301800006, 299480004, 299680008, 299560005 and 299920001. It was marketed in bulk at $7,750,000.The parcels are included within the Rural
Fringe Mixed Use Overlay, designated as Neutral Land (114.63-acres) and Sending Land (40 acres). All parcels are part of the North Belle
Meade Overlay. The sale was approved at a 10/22/2024 meeting of the Collier County Board of Commissioners subject to a Phase 2
environmental assessment. Sale price was based on 100% of appraised value. Access to the parcels is via sand and gravel roads or trails.
Property has minimal wetlands. The sending lands were marketed for TDR use at 91.70 credits. Mr. Saluan noted that the north 40 acres
which was marketed individually at $5,000,000 was overpriced. He mentioned that there were several 'tire kickers' but no other significant
interest.
