Item # 16.K.17
ID# 2025-5151
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a Stipulated Final Judgment in the amount of $83,000 plus $22,499 in statutory attorney
fees, expert fees, and costs for the taking of Parcel 1276FEE required for the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project
No. 60249.
OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation for the taking of Parcel 1276FEE 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 1276FEE 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, northernly boundary of the property and is approximately 0.17 acres in extent. The
parent tract is improved with a single-family home and associated improvements owned by Julie Macino. The parent
tract contains 1.14 acres of gross land area, which has been reduced to 0.97 acres after the acquisition. An aerial
photograph of the subject property is attached. The County’s appraiser estimated full compensation at $40,400
including severance damages. The property owners initial demand was $130,200 not including attorney’s fees and
costs. The parties participated in mediation and reached an agreement subject to approval by the Board of County
Commissioners. The attached Stipulated Final Judgment reflects a negotiated compensation amount of $83,000 plus
$14,058 in statutory attorney’s fees and $8,441 expert fees, for a total of $105,499.
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 $40,400 for its good faith estimate of value. Funds for the balance
of $65,099 are available in the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project Capital Fund, Project 60249. The primary
funding source for the acquisition of right of way is through Road Impact Fee District Funds (3090, 3091, 3092, 3093,
3094, 3095) in the Vanderbilt Beach Road from 16th to Everglades Project (60249). Should impact fees not be
sufficient, the secondary funding source will be Road Construction Gas Tax Fund (3083) and Transportation Capital
Fund (3081).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board
approval. – CMG
RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve the attached Joint Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment and authorize the
payment of funds as stated herein.

STIPULATED FINAL JUDGMENT AS TO PARCEL 1276FEE
THIS CAUSE, having come before this Court upon the Joint Motion made by Petitioner,
Collier County, Florida, and Respondent, Julie L. Macino, by and through counsel, for the entry
of a Stipulated Final Judgment as to Parcel 1276FEE for Project 60249, and it appearing to this
Court that proper notice was given to the parties having any equity, lien, title, or other interest in
or to the real property described therein, and the Court being otherwise fully advised in the
premises thereof, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1. Respondent, Julie L. Macino, shall recover from Petitioner, Collier County, Florida,
the total sum of Eighty-Three Thousand Dollars and No/100 ($83,000.00), for Parcel 1276FEE,
as full payment for the property interest taken, including business damages, if any, in connection
with said Parcel.
2. Respondent, Julie L. Macino, shall recover from Petitioner, Collier County, Florida,
the total sum of Fourteen Thousand Fifty-Eight Dollars and No/100 ($14,058.00), for all
Page 12109 of 14062
[25-CA-200/1987506/1]
attorney fees and attorney litigation costs in this case, including fees related to monetary and non-
monetary benefits.
3. Respondent, Julie L. Macino, shall recover from Petitioner, Collier County, Florida,
the total sum of Eight Thousand Four Hundred Forty-One Dollars and No/100 ($8,441.00),
for all expert fees and costs, associated with the acquisition of Parcel 1276FEE, and no other
expert fees or costs shall be paid in this matter.
4. Petitioner, Collier County, Florida, is entitled to a credit for the good faith estimate
of value previously deposited in the amount of Forty Thousand Four Hundred Dollars and
No/100 ($40,400.00), as payment for the acquisition of Parcel 1276FEE, at which time title to said
Parcel as described in Exhibit “A” vested in the name of Petitioner, Collier County, Florida.
5. Within thirty (30) days from the entry of this Order, Petitioner, Collier County,
Florida, shall pay the total sum of Sixty-Five Thousand Ninety-Nine Dollars and No/100
($65,099.00), representing the balance due for the acquisition of Parcel 1276FEE, by issuing a
check payable to Trust Account of Policastro Law Group, LLC, and mailing it to Anthony
Policastro, Esq., c/o Policastro Law Group, 1700 N McMullen Booth Rd Ste C5, Clearwater, FL

6. Collier County's initial construction of the subject project shall substantially

in the herein Final Judgment. No additional compensation shall be due to the Respondents for the

this action as to Parcel 1276FEE.
