Agenda 12/09/2014 Item #16A 5 12/9/2014 16.A.5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to terminate an easement agreement, dated June 27, 2014, entered into between Collier County and Jose Luis Carballea for the purchase of a road right-of-way, drainage and utility easement (Parcel 234RDUE) required for the expansion of Golden Gate Boulevard from east of Wilson Boulevard to 20th Street East. (Project No. 60040). OBJECTIVE: To terminate an easement agreement for the purchase of an easement needed for the four-laning of Golden Gate Boulevard from east of Wilson Boulevard to 20th Street East ("the Project"). CONSIDERATIONS: On June 27, 2014, Collier County entered into an easement agreement ("the agreement") with Jose Luis Carballea (the owner). The agreement provided for the purchase of Parcel 234RDUE, a road right-of-way, drainage and utility easement required for construction of the Project. Paragraph 3 of the agreement obliges the owner to obtain executed instruments releasing two mortgages from or subordinating the mortgages to the interests of the County in Parcel 234RDUE. Neither the County nor the owner has been able to procure the requisite releases or subordinations. The second mortgagee has demanded that the entire proceeds of the closing be paid to it. The first mortgagee has been non-responsive and, because it has a superior interest, it is highly unlikely that it will agree to any portion of the proceeds being paid to the second mortgagee. On October 20, 2014, the owner was notified in writing that unless these mortgage releases or subordinations were furnished within 14 days, the agreement would be terminated. Staff recommends termination of the agreement to facilitate condemnation of this parcel in due course as it will not be possible to close this acquisition. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no Fiscal Impact associated with this item. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -ERP GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County terminate the easement agreement, dated June 27, 2014, and authorize the County Manager or his designee to furnish written notice of termination to the owner. Prepared by: Robert Bosch, Right-of-Way Coordinator, Transportation Engineering, GMD. Attachments: (1) Easement agreement dated June 27, 2014; (2) Letter dated October 20, 2014 to the owner.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby mutually acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows: 1. All of the above RECITALS are true and correct and are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully below, and all Exhibits referenced herein are made a part of this Agreement. 2. Owner shall convey the Easement to County for the sum of: $28,000.00 subject to the apportionment and distribution of proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 9 of this Agreement (said transaction hereinafter referred to as the "Closing"). Said payment to Owner, payable by County Warrant or funds wire transfer, shall be full compensation for the Easement conveyed, including (if applicable) all landscaping, trees, shrubs, improvements, and fixtures located thereon, and shall be in full and final settlement of any damages resulting to Owner's remaining lands, costs to cure, including but not limited to the cost to relocate the existing irrigation system and other improvements (if any), and the cost to cut and cap irrigation lines (if any) extending into the Easement, and to remove all sprinkler valves and related electrical wiring (if any), and all other damages in connection with conveyance of said Easement to Packet Page-915- �� 12/9/2014 16.A.5. Page 2 County, including all attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs as provided for in Chapter 73, Florida Statutes. 3. Owner shall obtain from the holders of any liens, exceptions and/or qualifications encumbering the Easement, the execution of such instruments which will remove, release or subordinate such encumbrances from the Easement upon their recording in the public records of Collier County, Florida. Prior to Closing and as soon after the execution of this Agreement as is possible, Owner shall provide County with a copy of any existing title insurance policy and the following documents and instruments properly executed, witnessed, and notarized where required, in a form acceptable to County (hereinafter referred to as "Closing Documents"): (a) Perpetual, Non-Exclusive Road Right-of-Way, Drainage and Utility Easement; (b) Instruments required to remove, release or subordinate any and all liens, exceptions and/or qualifications affecting County's enjoyment of the Easement; (c) Closing Statement; (d) Grantor's Non-Foreign, Taxpayer Identification and "Gap"Affidavit; (e) W-9 Form; and (f) Such evidence of authority and capacity of Owner and its representatives to execute and deliver this agreement and all other documents required to consummate this transaction, as reasonably determined by County, County's counsel and/or title company. 4. Both Owner and County agree that time is of the essence.

At Closing, payment shall be made to Owner in that amount shown on the Closing Statement as "Net Cash to the Seller." 5. Owner agrees to relocate any existing irrigation system located on the Easement including irrigation lines, electrical wiring and sprinkler valves, etc. (if any), prior to the construction of the project without any further notification from County. Owner assumes full responsibility for the relocation of the irrigation system (if any) on the remainder property and its performance after relocation.

(c) No party or person other than County has any right or option to acquire the Easement or any portion thereof. (d) Until the date fixed for Closing, so long as this Agreement remains in force and effect, Owner shall not encumber or convey any portion of the property underlying the Easement or any rights therein, nor enter into any agreements granting any person or entity any rights with respect to the Easement, without first obtaining the written consent of County to such conveyance, encumbrance, or agreement, which consent may be withheld by County for any reason whatsoever. (e) There are no maintenance, construction, advertising, management, leasing, employment, service or other contracts affecting the Easement. (f) Owner has no knowledge that there are any suits, actions or arbitration, administrative or other proceedings or governmental investigations or requirements, formal or informal, existing or pending or threatened which affect the Easement or which adversely affect Owner's ability to perform hereunder; nor is there any other charge or expense upon or related to the Easement which has not been disclosed to County in writing prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

This provision shall survive Closing and is not deemed satisfied by conveyance of title. 9. County shall pay all fees to record any curative instruments required to clear title, and all Easement instrument recording fees.

Paragraph 4 of the agreement provides that time is of the essence and that closing should occur within 90 days of execution of the agreement or within 30 days of Collier County's receipt of all closing, documents. In paragraph 6 of the agreement_ both parties agreed to do all things that may be required to give effect to the agreement immediately when such requirement is made known to them or they are requested to do so. whichever is the earlier. As you already know, we have been endeavoring to obtain partial releases or subordination, consent and joinders from Nationstar Mortgage and Real Time Resolutions, the two mortgagees who hold mortgages encumbering your property. On October 3, 2014 we received a telephone call from Jessica Runyon of Real Time Resolutions (telephone no. 214-438-5406), the holder of the second mortgage encumbering your property, informing us that Real Time Resolutions was not willing to release or subordinate their mortgage without payment of the full amount of the proceeds of the closing to them. Miss Runyon also informed us that they had made numerous attempts to contact you to discuss your arrear mortgage installments but that you were not Packet Page-922- • - ° , , WON, - - 12/9/2014 16.A.5. responding to their calls. As you know, we have requested on several occasions that you contact them to address the issue of your arrear installments. We cannot undertake to pay any portion of the proceeds of the closing to Real Time Resolutions without Nationstar Mortgage's consent. Thus far we have not had any response from Nationstar Mortgage, the first mortgagee, to our two separate written requests that they subordinate or release their mortgage. Note that even if Nationstar did respond, it is extremely unlikely that they would agree to all of the proceeds being paid to Real Time Resolutions as Nationstar Mortgage holds the first mortgage. Your failure to procure duly executed partial releases or subordinations, consents and joinders from Nationstar Mortgage and from Real Time Resolutions that, upon their recording will remove, release or subordinate foresaid mortgages from Project Parcel 234RDUE constitutes a material breach of the agreement. Please note that unless you remedy your breach by furnishing to us foresaid duly executed documents within 14 days from date hereof, Collier County will cancel the agreement.
