(b), at no cost to the County, and authorize the Chairman to sign the Donation Agreement and staff to take all necessary actions to close. This is a follow-up item to Ordinance 15- 33,approved on June 9,2015,Agenda Item 9.B. OBJECTIVE: To propose a land and a management endowment to Conservation Collier as contemplated in the offsite vegetation retention provision of the Land Development Code. CONSIDERATIONS: A 2010 Land Development Code amendment, Section 3.05.07 H.l.f.i. (a) and(b), provides the option to developers to accomplish their required native vegetation retention offsite by donating lands and management endowment funds to the Conservation Collier Program. Global Properties of Naples, LLC, is the owner of a 2.73 acre parcel and is planning to convey this parcel located within the Red Maple Swamp Preserve in Golden Gate Estates, along with a management endowment, to the Conservation Collier Program as offsite preservation for 2.73 acres on the Vincentian Village PUD development (PL20130001767/CP-2013-10) under the above referenced LDC provision. The Vincentian PUD Ordinance 15-33, Exhibit F, Section II.B., which was approved on 9/9/15, Agenda Item 9.B.,allows up to 2.98 acres to be mitigated by off-site native vegetation preservation. The proposed donation parcel will be cleared of exotic vegetation prior to donation. The management endowment of$10,633.35 satisfies the LDC (Section 3.05.07 H.1.f.iii. (b))requirement that"The amount of payment shall be equal to 25 percent of the average cost of land in the Urban Designation or 25 percent of the average cost of land in all of the Designations, as applicable, as defined by the Future Land Use Element (FLUE), purchased by Collier County through the Conservation Collier Program." The average cost of land in all non-urban designations is $15,578 per acre; therefore the endowment is calculated at 25%of$15,578 ($3,985) X 2.73 for a total endowment amount of$10,633.35. This amount will cover exotic maintenance for approximately 7 years. The CCLAAC previously recommended acquisition of parcels within Red Maple Swamp Preserve, as all parcels in this project are on the 2011 A-List, which was approved at the January 25, 2011, Agenda Item No, 10B. Additionally, LDC Section 3.05.07, H.1.f. iii. (b) specifically allows donations within Golden Gate Estates Unit 53,aka Red Maple Swamp Preserve. Upon Board approval, the attached standard form Donation Agreement and a Warranty Deed will be prepared for the County Attorney's Office review and approval for execution by the Chair and recordation. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the County associated with acceptance of this property. The Collier County Property Appraiser values this parcel at $3,200 per acre or a total of $8,736. The $10,633.35 management endowment is expected to cover maintenance costs for 7 years. Because of its environmental condition, its location within the Red Maple Swamp Preserve boundary and the proposed management endowment, this 2.73 acre donation is not anticipated to increase the Red Maple Swamp Preserve project perpetual operations and maintenance costs in the near future. After endowment funds are depleted, and at least 70% of the project is acquired (currently at 67%), costs to manage the property are expected to be approximately$558 per acre or$1,524 per year. Packet Pg. 1422 16.D.4 10/25/2016 GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Fee simple acquisition of conservation lands is consistent with and supports Policy 1.3.1(e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAB RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the Board: 1) Approves and accepts a standard form Donation Agreement and Warranty Deed from Global Properties of Naples,LLC,a Florida limited liability company. 2)Authorizes the Chairman to execute the Donation Agreement with Global Properties of Naples, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and any and all other County Attorney's Office approved documents related to this transaction once they have been approved by the County Attorney's Office; 3)Authorizes staff to accept the land management endowment of$10,633.35 that is required by the LDC. 4) Directs the County Manager or his designee to proceed to acquire this parcel,to follow all appropriate closing procedures, to record the deed and any and all necessary documents to obtain clear title to this parcel,and to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure performance under the Agreement.

The date noted is when CCLAAC last recommended the multi-parcel project for approval. U Purpose of Project: Environmental Conservation—Conservation Collier Program Program Qualifications: 0 The Red Maple Swamp multi-parcel project, which includes the 2.73-acre Vincentian U PUD donation parcel, is referenced within the Land Development Code (LDC) Section 3.05.07, H.1.f. iii. a. as an appropriate offsite location for land donations to satisfy developer preservation commitments. N Red Maple Swamp is an undeveloped Unit (Unit 53) within the North Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) incorporating 305.69 acres and 105 parcels. Conservation Collier has o acquired 74 parcels totaling 206.38 acres and currently owns 67% of lands within the project area. 0 Native habitat present over the whole unit is wetland hardwood forest, with a substantial portion of that being dominated by cypress and red maple swamp and the remainder by 3 native and exotic re-growth over a historic farm field (approximately 100 acres). This parcel is not within the old farm field area. Soils, hydrology and extant plant species E indicate that the entire unit is a seasonal wetland, with surface water present during rainy season and moist conditions remaining during dry season (excepting drought conditions when water tables may recede lower). The area contributes moderately to Lower Tamiami aquifer recharge. This particular parcel contains cypress, red maple, dahoon holly and popash in the canopy and wetland dependent and adapted plants in the midstory and on the ground. Exotic invasive plants Brazilian pepper and Japanese climbing fern make up anywhere from 35% to 45% of the vegetation, and exist throughout the parcel. o Listed wetland dependent birds, including wood storks, snowy egrets, ibis and little blue o herons have been observed during site visits to this area and the entire project area is n. directly adjacent to Priority One Panther Habitat, as designated by the Florida Fish and a) Wildlife Conservation Commission. Deer have been observed in the area and Florida Black bears are known to inhabit adjoining public lands. a In addition to protecting wetlands and listed species habitat, another important reason for o the selection of Red Maple Swamp as a conservation target is that it is connected on its E5 north and west sides with the 60,000 acre Florida Forever Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) Project, which includes Corkscrew Marsh, Bird Rookery Swamp, Flint Pen Strand and Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Through them, Red Maple Swamp (and this parcel) connects with the Pepper Ranch and Caracara Prairie '> Preserves, private mitigation lands and lands protected under the County's Rural Lands c Stewardship Program. Conservation Collier acquisitions within NGGE Unit 53 would enhance, protect, and buffer these already conserved lands. The acquisition of lands within Red Maple Swamp will also provide additional public access opportunities to the 2 Packet Pg. 1431 16.D.4.b area including a connection with adjoining Bird Rookery Swamp, where a 1,200-foot boardwalk has been built and nearly 12 miles of hiking trails have been created by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Staff will coordinate with SFWMD and neighboring communities when planning for public access to Red Maple Swamp lands. ti Projected Management Activities: Removal of exotic plants, construction of trails, parking and placement of fencing and signage are projected management activities. An Interim Management Plan (IMP) has been drafted and approved. A final management plan will be developed once enough U contiguous parcels have been acquired to make management actions cost effective. Currently, 50 contiguous acres on the west side of the preserve are under management for exotic plants. c This parcel contains approximately 35-45% exotic cover. It will be treated by the donors prior to acceptance. Control of exotics on this parcel, consisting of herbicide applications, Q will be ongoing from time of acceptance. The donated management endowment a proposed is $10,633.35 (2.73 acres x $3,895), which will cover exotic maintenance for approximately 7 years. After that time, exotic maintenance will be included in the management budget for the overall Red Maple Swamp project. In 2015, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to amend the current endowment funding formula to provide additional management funds for donated parcels. Staff has been working to do so, however, this donation comes at a time when the amendment has not been E completed, and existing, lower funding formulas are still in place. ET) Because of the seasonal wetland nature of the site, any future trails may be seasonal. A raised boardwalk would be the best public access opportunity, however, this will not be considered until sometime well into the future of the project when more parcels are acquired, if and when funds are identified. Nature photography and bird watching from roadways are two activities that can occur at present. After consideration of risks and c liability, it may be possible to allow school children to visit specific parcels as part of an N educational program about wetlands. Currently, 41St Ave NW, an unpaved limerock ce road, provides access and the only parking is along the road right-of-way. Minimal management activities, like regular visitation, inspection and trash removal are being a accomplished by staff and volunteers. 0 L a 73 0 cts 0 C C E 0 tE t4 r.+ 4 3 Packet Pg. 1432
