LAND AUTHORITY GOVERNING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 14, 2007 Division: Land Authority
Bulk Item: Yes No X Contact / Phone #: Mark Rosch / 295-5180
Agenda Item Wording: Approval to purchase Lot 2, Caribbean Heights on Key Largo for
conservation.
Item Background: This acquisition is proposed pursuant to BOCC Resolution 39-2004 (the 2004
partnership agreement between the County and the Florida Department of Community Affairs), which
calls for the Land Authority to purchase natural areas consisting of at least two acres of upland native
habitat located outside the County -designated Conservation and Natural Area. The Land Authority has
already purchased 2.31 acres within the subject natural area on the bayside of Key Largo at MM 98.
The property proposed for purchase today will protect an additional 0.18 acre of the site. The
property's zoning is Improved Subdivision (IS), the Tier designation is Tier 1, and the vegetation is
tropical hardwood hammock.
In 2005 the Land Authority entered into a contract to purchase the subject property for $22,500.
However the transaction failed to close due to a title defect and the contract expired. The sellers have
now agreed to conduct the legal work necessary to correct the title defect provided the purchase price
is increased to $25,000. The $2,500 price increase is intended to cover a portion of the anticipated
legal expenses the seller will incur correcting the defect. Staff is requesting Board approval of the new
$25,000 purchase price.
The Land Authority's standard purchase contract will be used in this transaction. The estimated closing
costs are included in the agenda packet spreadsheet.
Advisory Committee Action: On October 24, 2007 the Committee voted 3/0 to approve this item.
Previous Governing Board Action: On September 28, 2005 the Board approved purchasing the
subject property for $22,500.
Contract/Agreement Changes: This will be a new contract. Compared to the prior contract, the
purchase price will increase from $22,500 to $25,000.
Staff Recommendation: Approval.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 14, 2007

Bulk Item: Yes No X Contact / Phone #: Mark Rosch / 295-5180
Agenda Item Wording: Approval to purchase seven parcels on Key Largo, Big Pine Key, Little Torch
Key, and Summerland Key for conservation.
Item Background: This acquisition is proposed to protect natural resources. The subject properties
are all designated Tier 1 and located in environmentally sensitive areas. The total size of this
acquisition will be approximately 4.8 acres. See the attached property list for details on each parcel.

confirmed via a title search. In consideration of this apparent title defect, the sellers have agreed to sell
all seven parcels for 115% of the 2007 tax assessed value.
The Land Authority's standard purchase contract will be used in this transaction. The estimated closing
costs are included in the agenda packet spreadsheet.
Advisory Committee Action: On October 24, 2007 the Committee voted 3/0 to approve this item and
to waive the requirement for a recorded right of access to the Summerland Key parcel.

right of access to the Summerland Key parcel.
