ITEM BACKGROUND: This 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 a 7,840 square foot lot on Bimini Drive on Duck Key. The property is designated Tier 3 — Infill 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 $79,000.00. The estimated closing costs for this transaction will be approximately $1,339.75. Staff has yet to determine how to best maintain the property. Options include staff mowing it or hiring a contractor to mow it. 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.
