Approval of March 12, 2012 minutes Mr. Curl moved to approve the minutes of the March 12, 2012 meeting as presented. Second by Mr. Tears. Carried unanimously 8 — 0. IV. Old Business A. Real Property Management update Alex Sulecki reported: • She received an email from An Trinh4, owner of a parcel in Unit 53 offering his property for sale to the Conservation Collier. • The asking price is $60,000 with an estimated market value of $17,000. • She made him aware of the directive of the Board of County Commissioners authorizing acquisitions only in the event of "a really good deal." • The term "a really good deal" has been interpreted as a property offered at a price below fair market value, thus the proposal does not qualify for acquisition. Committee discussion occurred noting it is their understanding acquisition of parcels within multi parcel projects could take place if the land was offered at a cost equal to, or below fair market value. The Committee requested Staff to clarify the direction given by the Board of County Commissioners regarding acquisition of properties in multi parcel projects. Mrs. Gibson arrived at 9: 06am B. Gordon River Greenway Project update Alex Sulecki provided the following documents: • "Florida Communities Trust - Declaration of Restrictive Covenants " executed by Collier County June 26, 2007. • "Summary Notes — Gordon River Park Stakeholders Meeting March 23, 2012 " • "Conservation Collier Boundary Survey Exhibit— Gordon River Greenway Park" prepared by Kimley -Horn and Assoc., Inc. dated January 2012. • The document "Sketch of Florida Communities Trust (FCT) parcels, Collier County Parks and Recreation" dated March 2012. She noted: 2 April 9, 2012 • There is a violation of the above referenced FCT Declaration and Restrictive Covenants on a parcel owned by the Parks and Recreation Department within the project. • To mitigate the violation, the County is proposing to encumber a Conservation Collier property within the project with the FCT Declarations of Restrictive Covenants. • The Outreach Subcommittee and Ordinance Policy and Rules Subcommittee discussed the proposed concept at a recent meeting. Mr. Pires provided an overview of the Subcommittee meetings where the mitigation concept was discussed. He expressed concern on encumbering the Conservation Collier parcel of land given the FCT did not provide any funding for acquisition of the property, and the property would be subject to any restrictions or penalties, including forfeiture should the restrictions be violated. Chairman Poteet noted other members of the Subcommittee agreed with this assessment, however in order to move the project forward in an expeditious manner, recommend the concept be approved. Additionally, Ms. Sulecki noted: • Staff has drafted a draft Inter - Departmental Agreement outlining the Parks and Recreation Department responsibilities for fulfilling monitoring or reporting requirements for Conservation Collier properties under the FCT declaration. • The Naples Airport Authority requested, but not required the funds they are contributing for exotics removal on the Conservation Collier parcel be expended this Fiscal Year. Staff is still evaluating the concept, as it will be more cost efficient to complete the activity on a project wide basis. • Permit processing is ongoing with construction anticipated to begin in September or October. The construction duration is estimated at one year. She requested the Committee provide a recommendation on encumbering the Conservation Collier property with the proposed FCT Declaration and Covenants. Sneaker Chris Curry, Executive Director, Collier County Airport Authority provided an update on the proposed Avigation Easement. Mr. Curl moved to recommend the County move forward with the proposed mitigation concept and encumber the Conservation Collier lands in question with the FCT Declarations and Restrictive Covenants. Second by Mr. Sterk. Mr. Dewrell moved amend the motion and add the condition the recommendation be subject to a satisfactory agreement being executed between the Parks and Recreation Department and Conservation Collier whereas the Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for any costs associated for the monitoring and reporting required under the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. 3 April 9, 2012 Second by Mr. Tears.
