AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a contract to purchase a less than fee interest in Lots 4
and 6, A Subdivision of Part of Tract B First Addition to Knowlson Colony (PB 4-20) with parcel
numbers 00564820-000000 and 00564840-000000 for density reduction purposes.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This acquisition is proposed pursuant to BOCC Resolution 438-2018 (the
Less Than Fee Acquisition Program) to protect property rights, to reduce density, and to reduce the
County's potential liability for takings suits.
The subject property consists of two lots totaling 15,000 square feet on Atlantic Drive on the ocean
side of Key Largo off of County Road 905. The property is designated Tier 1 —Natural Area and is
zoned Improved Subdivision. Both lots have tropical hardwood hammock vegetation and no
accessory structures.
The Planning and Environmental Resources Department has confirmed the property has the potential
to be developed with two dwelling units and the Land Authority has prepared and negotiated the
proposed purchase contract on behalf of the BOCC. The property owners have agreed to retire the
development rights for dwelling units and detached habitable space on the property. The purchase
price for this less than fee interest is $90,000.00, which is the current market land value indicated on
the Monroe County Property Appraiser's website. The estimated closing costs for this transaction
will be approximately $1,250.00.
Once the proposed transaction closes, the Sellers will continue to own the lots and may use them in
conjuction with their existing house on their adjoining parcel but will be precluded from developing
the lots with a dwelling unit or other detached habitatable space.
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.
