Agenda 07/27/2010 Item #16A35Agenda Item No. 16A35 July 27, 2010 Page 1 of 11 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve an amendment to an casement agreement for the purchase of a road right -of -way, drainage and utility easement (Parcel No. 167RDUE) required for the expansion of Santa Barbara Boulevard from two lanes to four lanes between Copper Leaf Lane and Green Boulevard. (Phase II of Project No. 62081.) Estimated fiscal impact: None. OBJECTIVE: To amend an easement agreement for the purchase of Parcel 167RDUE, required for the expansion of Santa Barbara Boulevard, by extending the time for closing of the transaction up to and including October 29, 2010 and to provide for a further time extension, if required, to be approved by the County Manager or his designee. CONSIDERATIONS: On April 29, 2010, County entered into an easement agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Walls for the purchase of said Parcel 167RDUE. Paragraph 4 of the agreement provides that closing shall occur within ninety days of said date, i.e. by no later than July 28, 2010. Mr. and Mrs. Walls are obliged to provide to County, on or before the closing date, executed documents releasing two mortgage liens encumbering the parcel. Their attorney has experienced delays in obtaining these documents and has requested an extension until October 29, 2010 for the closing. Staff has no objection to this request as construction of this project is not scheduled in the five -year work program. The attached Amendment to Agreement provides for this extension of the closing deadline and includes authority for the County Manager or his designee to grant one additional extension not exceeding ninety days without further Board action. Unfortunately the banks holding these mortgages have been slow in responding to the request for release of their liens, and it is not inconceivable that an additional extension will be required. The remainder of the agreement remains in full force and effect. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional fiscal impact as a result of the proposed amendment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan and the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action. —JBW RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County approve the attached Amendment to Agreement and authorize its Chairman to execute same on behalf of the Board, once a properly executed agreement has been received from the property owners and reviewed and approved by the office of the County Attorney.
