BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: County Attorney's Office
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Paunece Scull (305) 295-3170
N/A
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a contract to purchase a less than fee interest in Block
5, Lots 21 and 22, Doctors Arm First Addition (PB 4-149) with parcel numbers 00311790-000000
and 00311800-000000 and a purchase price of$86,700 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 adjoining canal lots totaling 10,000 square feet on Ortega Lane
on the bay side of Big Pine Key near mile marker 31. Both lots are designated Tier 2 — Transition
and Sprawl Area and zoned Improved Subdivision. Lot 21 is a pea rock lot developed with
accessory structures. Lot 22 is a mowed lot with no structures.
The Planning and Environmental Resources Department has confirmed that each lot has the potential
to be developed with one dwelling unit and the Land Authority has prepared and negotiated the
proposed purchase contract on behalf of the BOCC. The property owner has 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 $86,700 ($43,350 per lot)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.
Once the proposed transaction closes, the Seller will continue to own the lots and may use them in
conjuction with his existing house on his 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.
