Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a Stipulated Final Judgment in the amount of $125,000 plus $27,472 in statutory attorney
and experts’ fees and costs for the taking of Parcel 1287FEE required for the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project
No. 60249.
OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation for the taking of Parcel 1287FEE required for the construction of the
Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project No. 60249.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 9, 2024, the Board authorized, via Resolution No. 2024-135, the condemnation of
Parcel 1287FEE for the construction of roadway, drainage and utility improvements required for the expansion and
extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road from 16th Street NE to Everglades Blvd. The fee simple acquisition area consists
of a strip taking along the rear, southerly boundary of the property and is approximately 0.41 acres in extent. The parent
tract consists of a single-family home owned by Daniel and Shanine Fogle, and contains 2.73 acres of gross land area,
which has been reduced to 2.32 acres after the acquisition. An aerial photograph of the subject property is attached. The
County’s appraiser estimated full compensation at $64,900 including severance damages. The property owner’s initial
demand was $217,200 plus attorney’s fees and expert fees and costs. The parties participated in informal negotiations
and reached an agreement. The attached Stipulated Final Judgment reflects a negotiated compensation amount of
$125,000 plus $19,833 in statutory attorney’s fees, and $7,639 in expert fees and costs, for a total of $152,472.
Staff recommends approval of this Stipulated Final Judgment since a better result is not anticipated at trial. Upon
approval, the County Attorney’s Office will file the Joint Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment with the Circuit Court.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective transportation
system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors.
FISCAL IMPACT: County is entitled to a credit of $64,900 for its good faith estimate of value. Funds for the balance
of $87,742 which includes the Clerk’s $170.00 deposit fee, are available in the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension
