BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: August 21. 2002 Division: County Administrator Bulk Item: Yes _X_ No Department: AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a contract to purchase a conservation easement in Largo Sound Village subdivision and approval of resolution transferring funds. ITEM BACKGROUND: The Largo Sound Village Homeowners Association has been leasing Block 5, Lot 7, Largo Sound Village subdivision to provide community open space. The subject lot is zoned Improved Subdivision and the Board has directed staff to pursue the purchase of a conservation easement as a means of retiring the lot's residential development right. The lot was recently purchased for $32,000 by Largo Sound Village, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation formed by members of the homeowners association. Under the proposed contract, the County would purchase a conservation easement from Largo Sound Village, Incorporated for $16,000. The conservation easement would prohibit construction of dwelling units and enclosures, prohibit the transfer of development rights, and require the property to be maintained free of invasive exotic vegetation. Due to the property's zoning, a conditional use approval will be required should the property owner wish to construct park improvements. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On May 15,2002 the BOCC directed staff to pursue the purchase of a conservation easement on this property. CONTRACT I AGREEMENT CHANGES: None.
