Agenda 01/28/2014 Item #16D101/28/2014 16.D.10.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Amended and Restated Access Easement Agreement with Headwaters
Development Limited Liability Limited Partnership, LLLP to provide for developer improvements to an
access roadway over County property associated with the Gordon River Greenway Project and authorize a
budget amendment recognizing revenue in the amount of $140,365.20; Project No. 80065.1
OBJECTIVE: To amend and restate an existing access easement agreement to provide for developer
improvements to an access roadway over County property.
CONSIDERATIONS: On December 10, 2013, under Agenda Item 17D, the Board approved the PUD
Ordinance for the Landings at Bear's Paw, which Ordinance stated in part that the developer, Headwaters
Development Limited Liability Limited Partnership, LLLP (Headwaters), should amend an existing
Access Easement with the County to clarify terms for maintenance, access, construction, etc. over and
within the easement area.
Headwaters is successor in interest to Caribbean Venture of Naples, LLC (CVN) who owned a parcel of
land adjacent to the eastern portion of the County's future Gordon River Greenway Park, and by virtue of
that ownership is the successor in interest to an existing easement previously granted over County
property. In 2006, an easement over the east 60 feet of Lot 97, Naples Improvement Company's Little
Farms Subdivision of the County's property was conveyed to CVN in that certain Right -of -Way
Easement Agreement ( "Existing ROW Easement ") granted from Collier County and dated August 7,
2006 and recorded on August 29, 2006 in OR Book 4097, at Page 0661, of the Public Records of Collier
County, Florida. The Existing ROW Easement was extended by that certain Access Easement Agreement
( "Existing Access Easement ") granted from Collier County and dated October 27, 2009 and recorded on
February 10, 2010 in OR Book 4535, at Page 2342, of the Public Records of Collier County, Florida. The
Existing Access Easement gives Headwaters an access connection on Golden Gate Parkway that is the
only legal road access to Headwaters property. The County and Headwaters coordinated through the
PUD process an arrangement to allow Headwaters to have a shared access through the County's property
to Golden Gate Parkway with certain terms. In exchange for an easement through the County's property,
Headwaters has agreed to document the required terms of the Existing Access Easement to include
maintenance and construction terms of the access roadway. Those terms include termination of the
agreement in the event the entire roadway corridor created by this Easement is not substantially
completed by Headwaters on or before February 8, 2016.
A location map is attached for reference.
FISCAL EWPACT: The total cost for recording the Amended and Restated Access Easement Agreement
will be paid by Headwaters. A budget amendment is needed to recognize a total of $140,365.20 as set
forth in Exhibit F, Section III.e. of the Landings at Bear's Paw PUD Ordinance 13-66 approved
December 10, 2013, Agenda Item 17D in the Gordon River Greenway Project 80065 budget within the
Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Fund 306
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority
vote for approval. - HFAC
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Gordon River Greenway Park and Naples Zoo located on
Collier County owned property are inventoried in the Collier County Growth Management. Plan. There is
no impact to the Growth Management Plan by entry into this Agreement or the conveyance of this
easement.
