AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution for a reservation of sixteen (16) affordable
ROGO allocations, consisting of eight (8) median and eight (8) moderate income category allocations,
for Caya Place LLC on Big Pine Key on the eastern parcel (RE 00111078.000000) of property located
at 30641 US Highway I (aka Skeeter's Marine) until September 16, 2016.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The owner of the property, Richard C. Beal, has requested the reservation of
sixteen (16) affordable dwelling unit ROGO allocation awards. Since early 2008, Mr. Beal has
proposed development of "Cava Place" on Big Pine at a location commonly known as Skeeter's
Marine. He received a minor conditional use permit by Development Order 01-09 to develop the
affordable housing project with a condition to submit a building permit application by October 28,
2009. To date, the building permit application deadline has been extended five times. The first
extension granted 2 years from Senate Bill 360, the second extension granted 1 year from the County
Code, the third extension granted 2 years from House Bill 503, the fourth extension granted I year
from the County Code, and the current extension granted 1 year from the County Code. Thereby, the
current deadline(s) to submit a building permit application is October 28, 2016. All required
certificates of occupancy shall be procured within two (2) years of the date of issuance of an initial
building permit [approximately October 28, 2018].
The BOCC reserved 16 affordable housing ROGO allocations for Caya Place LLC in March 2008,
February 2009, March 2010 and January 2012. The reservation approved January 2012 expired May
19, 2012. Mr. Beal is requesting 16 affordable housing reservations. As of August 27, 2015, Mr. Beal
has not applied for Building Permits for the proposed employee/affordable housing. A one (1) year
reservation recommended contingent on the property owner acquiring building permits within this
period.
Currently at the beginning of ROGO Year 24 (July 14,2015-July 13, 2016) the Big Pine Key/No Name
Key sub -area has a total of 18 affordable housing allocation awards available (9 allocations for the very

Hello,
I have reached a tentative agreement with TriStar Development on my Big Pine Key Caya Place
project but they need a minimum of 20 allocations to submit to Florida Housing. With the
understanding that there are 16 currently available we would request borrowing forward to
obtain the other four.
I am in the final stages of purchasing the small parcel owned by FDOT which would allow a
100% density usage of 18 units on the eastern parcel ( my current DO 01-09 Parcel.)
To allow for the other 2 allocation, I propose a long term lease with TriStar and allow them to
build on my western parcel under a combined use on my 5keeter5 marine business.
It is also my understanding that Tri5tar would request the remaining total of allocations if the
BOCC would approve all to be borrowed forward.
Time is of the essence so what I propose is to enter into an simple agreement with the Monroe
County which i ask to be on the September's meeting agenda. Or -might a special meeting be
possible?
Again, time is of the essence so I ask that you please consider and approve of what I propose as
quickly as possible.
Thanking you in advance,
Richard

Subject: Sept. BOCC Agenda
Mayte ` ,
I reviewed the Sept. BOCC agenda and a couple things need to be addressed,
I ask that the allocations and "H"be tied to the time extension date of 10/28/2016. I still want
to request that. The timing for TriStar ,with regard to Florida Housings approval, might be very
close if we only have six months .
Also the first of next week I will have a letter from the house manufacturer stating his
intentions regarding the new code changes and time Hine. I would like it included in the
Commissioners information.
One other item that need to be corrected/addressed is;
At the BOCC meeting on May 16, 2012 when I was denied the extension for the "H" and
allocations, I had submitted for the permits the day before but was short the foundation
drawings by one day. The commission voted denial..... I only needed to add the foundation
drawings. I feel that the true story should be included in the record for this upcoming vote.
Do you still require my contract with TriStar?
