AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: September 21. 2005
Division: Land Authority
Bulk Item: Yes No X
Staff Contact Person: Mark Rosch
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, which calls for
the Land Authority to purchase natural areas consisting of at least two acres of upland native habitat
located outside the 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) and the vegetation is tropical hardwood hammock.
Following initial work to remove solid waste and exotic vegetation from the site, land stewardship needs
for this property are anticipated to be low.
The Executive Director has executed the Land Authority's standard purchase contract for this
transaction. The agenda packet spreadsheet lists the legal description, purchase price, and estimated
closing costs.
Advisory Committee Action: On August 24, 2005 the Committee voted 4/0 to approve this
acquisition.
Previous Governing Board Action: Sitting as the BOCC, the Board approved Resolution 39-2004 on
January 21, 2004.
Contract/Agreement Changes: None.
