Land Authority AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a contract to purchase Tier 1 property for conservation — Block 37, Lot 6, Port Pine Heights 2nd Addition, Big Pine Key. ITEM BACKGROUND: This acquisition is proposed at the recommendation of and in consultation with the County Attorney to reduce the County's potential liability for takings suits and to provide ROGO Administrative Relief pursuant to Monroe County Commission Resolution 205A-2020. The acquisition will also protect the natural environment and provide mitigation land in support of the Big Pine Key Habitat Conservation Plan. The subject property consists of a 5,250 square foot lot on Blue Lagoon Street 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 vegetation consisting of disturbed upland with a mangrove fringe. The property is the last undeveloped lot in private ownership on the street. The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact sea level rise projection for the period from 2000 to 2070 is 21 to 54 inches. In the event of a 24-inch increase in sea level, estimates provided by the South Florida Water Management District indicate approximately 1,600 square feet of this property will have a 25.1% to 74.9% probability of being inundated. The property's mangrove fringe will require periodic trimming along the canal to maintain navigational access. The property qualifies for purchase under the Acquisition List because it is Tier 1. The property owner has agreed to sell the property for the price of $173,389.80. The estimated closing costs for this transaction are listed in the agenda documentation. ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACTION: On January 27, 2021 the Committee voted 4/1 to approve purchasing this property for the price of$173,389.80. PREVIOUS RELEVANT GOVERNING BOARD ACTION: The Board has approved the purchase of other conservation properties in this subdivision.
