Natsch Lepper, Gregory C. Natsch, Patricia A. Natsch Eichholz, and Helen M. Natsch Markway for 1.59 acres under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, at a cost not to exceed $38,170. OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners for execution of the attached Agreement for Sale and Purchase (Agreement) between the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and Robert E. Natsch III, Laura A. Natsch Lepper, Gregory C. Natsch, Patricia A. Natsch Eichholz, and Helen M. Natsch Markway (Sellers). CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2005, Agenda Item 100, the Board approved a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) recommended Cycle II - Active Acquisition List, (AAL) with changes, and directed staff to actively pursue acquisition of the properties under the Conservation Collier Program. A multi-parcel project included on the Cycle II - AAL was a portion of Unit 65 in Golden Gate Estates (Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project). Staff has actively pursued acquiring parcels within Unit 65. However, on September 13, 2005, Agenda Item 16 A 34, the Board accepted CCLAAC's recommendation to, due to rising property costs, discontinue buying properties for the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project for 90 days. On February 14, 2006, Agenda Item 10A, the Board approved to place the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project on the "B" list of the Cycle III - AAL, and on January 23, 2007, Agenda Item 10A, the Board approved the Cycle IV - AAL, once again placing the Multi- - parcel Project on the "B" list. On May 22, 2007, Agenda Item 10F, the Board approved to reactivate the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project, with conditions, and it was placed on the "A" list on the current AAL The Winchester Head Multi Parcel Project consists of 115 parcels and a total of 167.74 acres. To date, Conservation Collier has acquired a total of 8.88 acres consisting of 7 parcels, and the Collier Soil and Water Conservation District has acquired 2 parcels totaling 2.28 acres. Staff sent out 106 offer letters based on the averaged appraised values and size of parcel, and to date, 26 have accepted our offers, 7 said they are not interested, and 11 made inquiries but have not committed. On October 23,2007. Agenda Items 16E1, 16E2, 16E3, 16E5, and 16E6 were approved by the Board authorizing the purchase of five (5) parcels within the Winchester Head Multi Parcel Project. On December 11,2007, Agenda Items 16E1, 16E2, 16E3, 16E4, 16E5, 16E6, 16E7, 16E8, 16E9, 16E10, 16E1', 16E13, 16E14, and 16E15 were approved by the Board authorizing the purchase of fourteen (14) additional parcels within the Winchester Head Multi Parcel Project. Staff contracted with two independent, state-certified, general real estate appraisers to appraise all parcels within the Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project who based their analysis on comparable sales from wetland, not upland parcels, preferably within the Winchester Head area. The averaged appraised value for 1.14 and 1.59 acre parcels is $23,000 an acre and parcels over 2 acres averaged $19,000 an acre. - The Sellers' property contains a total of 1.59 acres and is located in Golden Gate Estates, Unit 65 (Winchester Head Multi-parcel Project). The land cost for the 1.59 acre parcel is $36,570. The attached Agreement provides that should the County elect not to close this transaction for any reason, except for default by the Sellers, the County will pay the Sellers $182.85 in liquidated damages. The CCLAAC approved this transaction on December 10, 2007, and voted to recommend Board approval and execution of the attached Agreement. Pursuant to Ordinance 2007-65, Section 13(8), a Project Design Report for the property is provided herewith. The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of acquisition will not exceed $38,170 ($36,570 for the property, and approximately $1,600 for the title commitment, title policy, and recording of documents). The funds will be withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Trust Fund (172). As of December 10, 2007, property costs for Conservation Collier properties, including this property and those under contract, total $62,890,183 - GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Fee simple acquisition of conservation lands is consistent with and supports Policy 1.3.1 (e) in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Conservation Collier Ordinance (2007-65) provides a legal framework for property acquisition for the Conservation Collier Program. The process for acquiring this property falls within the legal framework of Ordinance 2007-65. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff is recommending that the Board of County Commissioners: 1) Approves the attached Agreement and accepts the Warranty Deed once it has been received and approved by the County Attorney's Office; 2) Authorizes the Chairman to execute the Agreement and any and all other County Attorney's Office approved documents related to this transaction; 3) Authorizes the County Manager or his designee to prepare related vouchers and Warrants for payment; and 4) Directs the County Manager or his designee to proceed to acquire this parcel, to follow all appropriate closing procedures, to record the deed and any and all necessary documents to obtain clear title to this parcel, and to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure performance under the Agreement.

The entire site is within North Golden Gate Estates, a target protection area. Three different roads, one of which is paved, can access the site and from these roads half of the propel1y can be viewed. The mature cypress and seasonally changing marsh enhance the aesthetic setting of Collier County. Using aerial photographs, elevation data, soil maps and public input, a total of 114 parcels (about 175 acres) were identified as being important for acquisition. One imp0l1ant reason for the nomination of Winchester Head is that this area functions to provide 1l00dplain storage for surrounding home sites during high rainy season. In fact, these types of depressional storage areas were included in the water management models for the Goldcn Gate canal system done by the Big Cypress Basin. South Florida Water Management District and are a component of floo<lioontrol for the area. Other criteria that would be satisfied by a purchase here include protcction of surface and ground water resources, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, good potential for restoration and low estimated management costs. Listed plant species were observed, while a listed wildlife species (Florida black bear) has been documented at the edgcs of the propel1y. During a March 2004 site visit, it was noted that there was significant standing water. that many birds are using the area, and that the wetland areas arc nearly fi'ee of invasive exotic plant life, indicat ing good ecological value. P,'oiected Mana!!ement Activities: Active management of this project would not be feasible until a signilicant contiguous arca could be acquired. Since the area is relatively free of exotic plants, minimal control eff0l1s consisting 0 I' herbicide applications on exotics at the edges of owned properties may be done until a larger area is acquired. Becausc of the wetland nature of the site. trails are not recommended. A raised boardwalk would be the best public access oppol1unit)'. however. this is not proposed until some time well into the future of the projcct when morc parcels are acquired. 1\ature photography and bird watching are two activities that can occur at present. Aller consideration of risks and liability, it may be possible to allow school children to visit specific parcels as part of an educational program about wetlands. Currently. the two roads (37th and 39'h Streets NE) provide access but the only parking is the road right-01~way. Until there are enough parcels acquired to provide a resource destination, a visitor parking area is not necessary, but this may be constructed in the future. Land Development Code changes have been made to allow construction of a parking area on parcels in Estates zoning. Also in the future. an educational kiosk could be placed along one of the roads through the project. It would contain information on wctlands and on the preservation of the area. Signs can be placed t d. I o7th d o()th S N\" M" I . .. I'k I at 10Lll1 ancs a ong _, an _, '. t.'./. 1111111U management actiVIties.
