Agenda 04/08/2014 Item #16A154/8/2014 16.A.15. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to purchase approximately one acre of property situated between Piper Boulevard and the Cocohatchee Canal for the Palm River Park (Project No. 60184.) Fiscal Impact: S1,200. OBJECTIVE: To create a meandering concrete sidewalk and linear park with neighborhood - friendly landscaping and decorative features rather than repairing the asphalt sidewalk adjacent to the east -bound lane of Piper Boulevard. CONSIDERATIONS: Repairs are needed to the existing asphalt sidewalk adjacent to the east -bound lane of Piper Boulevard. Rather than undertake these repairs, however, it is being recommended that the County partner with a local developer, Wallace Homes of Southwest Florida. and the affected communivy of Palm River, represented by the Palm River Homeowners and Civic Association, and replace the existing asphalt sidewalk with a meandering concrete sidewalk, landscaped and decorated by the association and the developer. Horse Creek Partners, Ltd. owns Out Lot l of Unit 1, Palm River Estates as disclosed in Plat Book 3, Page 90 of the Public Records of Collier County. Said lot is adjacent to Out Lot 1 of Unit 4, Palm River Estates owned by Wallace Homes of Southwest Florida. The purchase of a portion of the property owned by Horse Creek Partners, Ltd. will allow for a continuous park area between Piper Boulevard and the Cocohatchee Canal from Palm River Boulevard to Cypress Way East. The sale price of the land is not related to its market value, but rather a "nominal value" (a dollar amount related to the cost of securing professional counsel regarding the risk associated with the transfer.) FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact for this item is estimated not to exceed $1.200. Annual maintenance costs for the park property are addressed in the executive summary for the Palm River Park Agreement between Collier County and Wallace Homes of Southwest Florida and the Palm River Homeowners and Civic Association approved by the Board at its March 25, 2014 meeting. Source of funds for this purchase is gas taxes. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item.
