Resolution 2016-029 RESOLUTION NO. 2016 - 29
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA,
FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT THE FLORIDA
COMMUNITIES TRUST ALLOWS COLLIER COUNTY TO
ENTER INTO A LONG TERM, RENEWABLE LEASE
WITH THE GOODLAND ARTS ALLIANCE FOR
COUNTY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 326 PETTIT DRIVE,
GOODLAND, FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, on November 30, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
approved an Agreement for Sale and Purchase with The Trust for Public Land for acquisition of
the 2.61-acre Mar-Good Resort in Goodland, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the Board also entered into a Grant Contract with the Florida Communities
Trust ("FCT") which provided for the reimbursement of seventy-five percent (75%) of the
purchase costs using a Florida Forever Program grant. As a condition of the grant, a Declaration
of Restrictive Covenants, in favor of FCT, was recorded in the Official Records of Collier
County, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the Goodland Arts Alliance has requested a long term, renewable lease with
Collier County for a portion of the property with the intent of restoring and using it as an artist
village; and
WHEREAS, although the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants describes the sale or
lease of any interest in the Project Site to a non-governmental person or organization as a
"disallowable activity," it does allow the FCT latitude to permit such an activity to a certain
extent; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to preserve, promote, and advance the cultural presence
in the Village of Goodland through art, history and education and considers the proposal made
by the Goodland Arts Alliance as a positive step in achieving this goal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Resolution shall serve as
a formal request to the Florida Communities Trust to allow a long term, renewable lease between
Collier County and the Goodland Arts Alliance for the use of this County-owned property.
