OBJECTIVE: To settle full compensation for the taking of Parcel 1325FEE2 required for the construction of the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project No. 60249. CONSIDERATIONS: On July 9, 2024, the Board authorized, via Resolution No. 2024-135, the condemnation of Parcel 1325FEE2 for the construction of roadway, drainage and utility improvements required for the expansion and extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road from 16th Street NE to Everglades Blvd. The fee simple acquisition area consists of a strip taking along the rear, southerly boundary of the property and is approximately 0.47 acres in extent. The parent tract is improved with a single-family home and is owned by Raimar and Ramlet Vinent, and contains 2.42 acres of gross land area, which has been reduced to 1.95 acres after the acquisition. An aerial photograph of the subject property is attached. The County’s appraiser estimated full compensation at $69,100 including severance damages. The property owner’s initial demand was $268,885 plus attorney’s fees and expert fees and costs. The parties participated in mediation and reached an agreement. The attached Stipulated Final Judgment reflects a negotiated compensation amount of $165,000 plus $31,647 in statutory attorney’s fees, and $22,000 in expert fees and costs, for a total of $218,647. Staff recommends approval of this Stipulated Final Judgment since a better result is not anticipated at trial. Upon approval, the County Attorney’s Office will file the Joint Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment with the Circuit Court. This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors. FISCAL IMPACT: County is entitled to a credit of $69,100 for its good faith estimate of value. Funds for the balance of $149,717, which includes the Clerk’s $170.00 deposit fee, are available in the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project Capital Fund, Project 60249. The primary funding source for the acquisition of right of way is through Road Impact Fee District Funds (3090, 3091, 3092, 3093, 3094, 3095) in the Vanderbilt Beach Road from 16th to Everglades Project (60249). Should impact fees not be sufficient, the secondary funding source will be Road Construction Gas Tax Fund (3083) and Transportation Capital Fund (3081). GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. – SAA RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve the attached Joint Motion and Stipulated Final Judgment and authorize the payment of funds as stated herein.
