ITEM BACKGROUND: The acquisition is proposed to protect property rights, to reduce density, and to reduce the County's potential liability for takings suits. This property is one of those proposed to be purchased under the County's density reduction initiative. At the request of County staff, the Monroe County Land Authority (MCLA) negotiated the proposed agreement on the Board's behalf pursuant to an interlocal agreement between MCLA and the County. The subject property consists of an 8,946 square foot lot on Prince Road on Big Pine Key. The property is designated Tier 2 - Transition and Sprawl Area, is zoned Improved Subdivision - Masonry, and is in a mowed condition. The property owner has agreed to sell the property for the price of $45,000.00. The estimated closing costs for this transaction will be approximately $1,144.25. Staff has yet to determine how best to maintain the unimproved lot. Options include staff mowing it, hiring a contractor to mow the lot, or paying the property owners association's $125.00 annual fee that is used to mow unimproved lots and fund other association purposes. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The Board budgeted funds for purchases which are intended to reduce density and to reduce the County's potential exposure to property rights' related lawsuits through voluntary purchases. The Board has approved the purchase of other properties in this subdivision.
