Agenda Item Number: D.3
Agenda Item Summary #5042
BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: County Attorney's Office
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Bob Shillinger (305) 292-3470
N/A
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of an option contract to purchase Block 22, Lots 1
through 4, Sands, Big Pine Key for affordable housing.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This acquisition is proposed as an affordable housing site in response to
-Hurricane Irma direction to acquire and redevelop trailer parks as workforce
housing.
The subject property currently has 16 trailer pads, of which 12 are leased to FEMA for post-
hurricane housing until January 7, 2019 and one is leased to a private party on a month-to-month
basis. The County has recognized the site as having the rights to build 13 permanent, market-rate,
ROGO-exempt units. The site consists of four adjoining lots totaling 20,000 square feet on Avenue
C on the bay side of Big Pine Key near mile marker 30. The property has a tier designation of Tier 1
Natural Area, a zoning designation of Improved Subdivision, and disturbed habitat conditions.
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact 50-year sea level rise projection is 14 to
26 inches by the year 2060. In the event of a 12-inch increase in sea level, estimates provided by the
South Florida Water Management District indicate approximately 1,370 square feet of this property
will have a 25.1% to 74.9% probability of being inundated.
For a non-refundable option fee of $10,000, the contract provides the County the option to purchase
the property for the price of $850,000. The option period is for one year (12/27/18 to 12/26/19) and
the County may exercise the purchase option at any time during the option period after FEMA has
completed its use of the property. The estimated closing costs for this transaction are listed in the
agenda documentation.
Staff proposes to submit an application for a Community Development Block Grant Disaster
Recovery (CDBG-DR) grant to fund the purchase and redevelopment of this site. In the event the
grant application is not successful, there is a companion resolution on the Land Authority agenda to
provide back-up acquisition funding.

RE: ROGO Exemption Request File #2017-R185 for property located at 31553 Avenue C, Big
Pine Key, legally described as Lot 4, Block 22, Sands Subdivision, Plat Book 1, Page 65,
Monroe County, Florida having Real Estate Number 00302680-000000
Mr. Ackiss:
You requested a determination as to whether one (1) residential dwelling unit(s) is exempt from the
Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) on the above-described premises.
Pursuant to Section 138-22 of the Monroe County Land Development Code, the redevelopment,
rehabilitation or replacement of any lawfully established dwelling unit or space that does not increase the
number of dwelling units above that which existed on the site prior to the redevelopment, rehabilitation
or replacement shall be exempt from the residential ROGO system.
For dwelling units that were established prior to the effective date of the ROGO and therefore did not
receive a ROGO allocation through the ROGO permit allocation system, the Monroe County Land
Development Code requires a body of evidence to support the existence of the dwelling unit on or about
July 13, 1992, the effective date of the original ROGO. Any Monroe County building permit(s) for the
original construction of the structure confirming the existence of the dwelling unit and its use(s) on or
about July 13, 1992 can stand as the only piece of evidence for a ROGO exemption.
If there are no building permit(s) for the original construction of the structure, in order to grant an
exemption, at least two of the following documents supporting the lawful existence of the dwelling unit
must be found:
Attachment: HowardsHavenLDRDLot4 (Block 22, Lots 1 through 4, Sands, Big Pine Key (Howard's Haven))
(1) Any other issued Monroe County building permit(s) supporting the existence of the structure(s) and
its use(s) on or about July 13, 1992:
The following table organizes relevant building permits by date issued:
Packet Pg. 1111
D.3.d
Permit No. Date Issued Description
25462 02-07-1972 Septic tank
26211 04-05-1972 100 amp service for trailer
B879 01-20-1976 Tie down existing mobile home
17102119 03-27-2017 Plumbing- sewer tie-in (one SFR)
County permits support the existence of the structure(s) and its residential use(s) on or about July 13,
1992.
(2) Documentation from the Monroe County Property Appraiser's Office indicating residential use on or
about July 13, 1992:
The Property Appraiser currently assesses the property under a property classification code of 02-
Mobile Home and their records indicate that a residential unit has been on the tax roll from 1982 to
2016. One (1) building, with a year built date of 1970, is currently attributed to the property. An
archived property record card includes a photo of a mobile home on the subject property dated 03-
23-1976.
indicates residential use on or about July 13, 1992.
(3) Aerial photographs (to confirm the number of structures, not the number or type of dwelling units)
and original dated photographs showing the structure(s) existed on or about July 13, 1992:
Aerial photography from 1975 to 2017 confirms the continuous existence of a structure on the
property. As a note, aerial photography can only confirm the number of structures, not the number of
dwelling units, in existence at any given time.
(4) Residential county directory entries on or about July 13, 1992:
Residential county directory entries were reviewed by Planning Department staff for the years 1991
and 1992. The 1991 or 1992 directory did not have
(5) Rental, occupancy or lease records on or about July 13, 1992, indicating the number, type and term
of the rental or occupancy:
No occupancy or lease records were provided by the applicant for review.
(6) State and/or county licenses on or about July 13, 1992, indicating the number and types of rental
units:
No state or county licenses were provided by the applicant for review.
(7) Documentation from the utility providers indicating the type of service (commercial or residential)
provided and the number of meters in existence on or about July 13, 1992:
Documentation from the utility providers indicating the type of service (commercial or residential)
and the number of meters in existence on or about July 13, 1992 was not provided for review.
(8) Similar supporting documentation not listed above as determined suitable by the planning director:
Attachment: HowardsHavenLDRDLot4 (Block 22, Lots 1 through 4, Sands, Big Pine Key (Howard's Haven))
Land Use (Zoning) District: From 1986 to present, the property is located within the Improved
Subdivision (IS) Zoning District, in which a detached residential dwelling unit is a permitted use. A
mobile home is not a permitted or conditional use within this Land Use District.
Packet Pg. 1112
D.3.d
1988 Monroe County Mobile Home Study: The 1988 Monroe County Mobile Home Study records
the existence of an RV on the property at that time as well as a unit marked Other.
Based on a review of the records, the Planning & Environmental Resources Department has determined
that one (1) dwelling unit is lawfully-established on the subject property and its replacement would
thereby be exempt from the ROGO permit allocation system.
If the exempted dwelling units are replaced, all existing accessory structures must also be demolished
unless written permission stating otherwise is provided by the Planning & Environmental Resources
Department. This letter does not provide any vesting to existing regulations and the replacement
dwelling units and any new accessory structures must be built in compliance with all applicable
regulations of the Monroe County Code and Comprehensive Plan at the time of development approval.
Furthermore, if the exempted dwelling units are not replaced, but substantially improved as defined in
the Monroe County Code, they must be brought into compliance with all applicable regulations.
If you have any questions regarding the contents of this letter or if I may further assist you, please feel
free to contact the Planning & Environmental Resources Department at (305) 289-2500.
Sincerely,
Devin Tolpin, Planner
