Agenda 11/12/2019 Item #10A (Conservation Collier Purchasse of Cypress Landings II)11/12/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to purchase the 37 acre SD Corporation/Cypress Landings II parcels under the
Conservation Collier program previously included in the cycle 9 Acquisition A List in the amount
of $1,580,000, which the owners have indicated they are willing to accept.
OBJECTIVE: To add environmentally diverse properties to the Conservation Collier land inventory.
CONSIDERATIONS: In July 2018, staff brought forward the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition
Advisory Committee’s (CCLAAC) cycle 9 land acquisition list to the Board. Subsequently, three
properties were purchased by Conservation Collier in the total amount of $1,598,500 while a fourth (the
Hack property) was not purchased when the owner was not willing to sell the property at the appraised
value.
The A list included several other properties that the Board did not direct staff to purchase at that time.
Among these were two parcels owned by SD Corporation of Naples Inc. and Cypress Landings II of
Naples LLC respectively that total 37.16 acres located in East Naples. These properties scored high in the
CCLAAC cycle nine evaluation process due to their diverse environmental nature.
I am recommending that the Board purchase these parcels under the Conservation Collier program.
FISCAL IMPACT: The appraised value of the parcels totals $1,580,000. Funds for this acquisition
would come from the Conservation Collier land acquisition fund. If Conservation Collier land
acquisitions proceed it is assumed that funding will be provided by a voter approved funding referendum
and that any maintenance reserve monies utilized for acquisition will be restored by the voter approved
funding or failing that, restored by General Fund sources.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Pursuant to the Board’s policy for acquisition of lands by the
Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program, Resolution No. 2007-300, the County may
purchase the two parcels for $1,580,000, the average of the two appraisals. The County’s in-
house real estate appraiser informed me that these two appraisals remain valid as reflective of the
current market value. Accordingly, this item is approved for form and legality and requires a
majority vote for Board approval. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioner purchase the aforementioned parcels
from SD Corporation of Naples Inc. and Cypress Landings II of Naples LLC in the total amount of
$1,580,000.

Parcel Name: SD Corp of Naples, Inc./Cypress Landings II of Naples LLC Acreage: 115.15 acres - 3 parcels offered as a package:
Target Protection Area: Urban Parcel 1 - 77.99 acres
Total Assessed Value: $2,793,072 Parcel 2 - 7.16 acres
Total Estimated Market Value: $6,479,000 Parcel 3 - 30 acres
Parcel 1 – 77.99 ac - $4,212,000 - $54,000/ac
Parcel 2 – 7.16 ac - $436,760 - $61,000/ac
Parcel 3 – 30 ac - $1, 830,000 - $61,000/ac
Highlights:
• Location: The parcels are in the Urban area, north of Rattlesnake Hammock Road between
Santa Barbara Blvd and CR 951 (Collier Blvd.).
• How many of the 6 Initial Screening Criteria were met: 5 out of 6 criteria were met,
some to a greater degree than others. These properties re not within another agency’s
acquisition boundary.
• Habitat: Remnants of at least 6 native habitats remain, though severely impacted by
exotics. Wetlands are in better shape than mesic areas. Parcel 1 is invaded by exotics as
much as 85%. Other areas at least 25%. There are 2 known archeological sites.
• Listed Plants: Bromeliads, Florida royal palm, Simpson’s stopper, marsh fern butterfly
orchid, bird’s nest fern.
• Listed Wildlife: Little blue heron. Non- listed species seen include red bellied woodpecker,
red-tailed hawk, killdeer, banded water snake, numerous birds.
• Water Resource Values: The parcels are 82% wetlands and contribute moderately to
recharge of the Surficial Aquifer System. The Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project
(LASIP) improvements regulate water locally to prevent flooding and drying out.
• Connectivity: Connected directly with the Serenity Park at NE corner, where a connective
trail is possible but requires a small bridge over the canal.
• Other Division Interest? The surrounding LASIP easement encompassing 10.9 acres was acquired
by the County in 2016 to construct storm water improvements to the Wing South/Sandy Lane
Interconnect segment of the LASIP (see map inset). It was acquired following an Order of
Taking and Board approved negotiated settlement of $1,200,000. The settlement was due to

the critical nature of the LASIP project and because a better result was not anticipated at trial. If the
Board elects to go forward with acquisition, the easement will be considered in the appraisal since it
limits the use of the property in those areas to drainage. No other interest is known.
