RESOLUTION NO. 2006--122
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF THE COUNTY OF COLLIER, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
TARGET PROTECTION AREA MAILING STRATEGY FOR THE
CONSERVATION COLLIER LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM'S
FOURTH PROPERTY SELECTION CYCLE; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Collier County has recognized the need to plan for future growth and has
initiated a long-term program, known as Conservation Collier, to acquire, protect, restore and
manage environmentally sensitive lands in perpetuity and to provide public open space for the
benefit of present and future generations; and
WHEREAS, the Conservation Collier Program includes identification and protection of
Collier County's natural resources, including upland and wetland communities, native plant
communities, endemic species, endangered species habitat, water resources, and aesthetic or
other natural features; and
WHEREAS, protected lands include those that provide appropriate natural resource-
based recreational and educational opportunities, protect local water resources, provide flood
control; and
WHEREAS, the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance (hereafter referred to as
"Ordinance No. 2002-63" has described Target Protection Areas (TPAs); and
WHEREAS, Section 13 (1) of Ordinance No. 2002-63 provides that county staff will
send letters of inquiry to all property owners within these Target Protection Areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
SECTION I. Findings
It is found and declared that:
(A) The cost of a mailing of letters to all remammg property owners within all Target
Protection Areas will be approximately $40,000, as opposed to $60 for a proposed fourth
cycle mailing to criteria-based properties from identified Target Protection Areas and
other areas that meet program goals and criteria.
(B) Many undeveloped properties within Target Protection Areas are small lots within
established subdivisions and would not be appropriate for acquisition by Conservation
Collier.
(C) Using estimated rates of return of positive interest generated by property owner interest
letters in previous selection cycles, it has been determined that mailing approximately
145 interest letters will result in approximately 4 parcels for review and ranking on the
Active Acquisition List. Staff anticipates some additional number of owner and public
nominations as well.
(D) There has been an Outreach Subcommittee recommendation that was unanimously
approved by CCLAAC on April 10, 2006, endorsing a strategy for a targeted mailing
outreach effort. This strategy is to more specifically target lands that are likely to
contain high quality environmental resources and to enlarge lands already purchased.
(E) The CCLAAC is authorized by Ordinance No. 2002-63 to recommend an update to the
Target Protection Areas List and selection strategy to the Board of County
Commissioners to fulfill the purposes of the Conservation Collier Program.
(F) This resolution is adopted pursuant to applicable provisions of law.
SECTION II. Be it also resolved that Collier County Board of County Commissioners adopt
the following fourth-cycle Target Protection Areas mailing strategy:
1. Staff shall send approximately 145 interest inquiry letters to owners of undeveloped
properties within the following areas:
