MONTHLY ACTIVITY REPORT— as of April 30, 2022
The MCLA receives recurring revenue for property acquisitions from two primary sources. Pursuant to section r
380.0685, Florida Statutes, the Authority receives a park surcharge on admission and overnight occupancy at L-
state parks within the unincorporated area of Monroe County and pursuant to section 125.0108, Florida Statutes 5
and sections 23-178 and 23-179, Monroe County Code, the Authority receives a 50% share of the 1% tourist
impact tax charged on lodging in the Keys.
In addition to these recurring revenues,the Authority has received land acquisition grants from the State of Florida
and the US Army Corps of Engineers. �i
The following chart demonstrates the previous 10 years of park surcharge and tourist impact tax revenue for they
MCLA. For decades the Key West revenue has exceeded the unincorporated County revenue.

Density Reduction Acquisition Program Staff Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180
The Density Reduction Program goal is to purchase lands that do not consist of significant habitat for the purpose
N
of retiring the associated density (Transferable Development Rights or TDRs).
Since 2016, 23 properties were purchased through the end of FY 21.

Less Than Fee Acquisition Program Staff Contact: Cynthia Guerra 305-453-8756 CU

The Less than Fee Program goal is to purchase Development Rights from owners of lots zoned IS, IS-M and
URM adjacent to the seller's primary residence. Property owners can continue to use the land for accessory �
structures permitted by county land use regulations, such as a pool, open yard, or garage.
Since 2016,the County has acquired 67 Less than Fee Development Rights from 67 lots through the end of FY21.
0
At the beginning of the current Fiscal Year, the Board authorized staff to resume the program, which had been
suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic. The application process was re-opened, and applications are being
received for new parcels proposed for the program. In the current reporting period ending April 30, 2022,MCLA '
has made purchase offers to four owners, representing a total of$210,077 in Less than Fee acquisitions for all
four contracts.

Community Development Block Grant/Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Voluntary Home Buyout
Program Staff Contact: Cynthia Guerra 305-453-8756
The Voluntary Home Buyout Program (VHBP) goal is to purchase property damaged by Hurricane Irma using a
$15 million grant from the State of Florida after Hurricane Irma, to eliminate future flood risk and assist
vulnerable populations in low-moderate income areas.
As of April 30, 2022, 79 VHBP applications have been received by staff and the County's consultants, Tetra 0
Tech. As of April 30, 23 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, the remaining 56 either w
voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. Based on current program participation and data, staff has
estimated the county will expend just over $7 million of the $15 million grant. Outreach for new participants 2
began in October 2021, and staff estimates an additional ten to fifteen purchase contracts would be needed to
exhaust the available grant funds. All grant activities need to be completed before the grant term ends on June 3,
2023. Since October 2021, we have received 16 new participant registrations, 11 of which were eligible to
continue.
0
The first nine VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in January, February and March of 2022, of
which four transactions closed in April 2022 and four closed in May 2022, expending a total of$4,636,398.89
for VHBP acquisitions to date. These eight transactions have retired eight development rights(market rate ROGO
Exemptions). All of the market rate ROGO Exemptions available from the VHBP transactions are being moved N
to the Administrative Relief pool for market rate allocations.

Florida Forever Program — Staff Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180
The State of Florida has made substantial investments in the Florida Keys purchasing conservation land pursuant
to the Florida Forever Program. This program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP). The State has established three Florida Forever projects in the Keys:
• North Key Largo Hammocks
• Coupon Bight/Key Deer
• Florida Keys Ecosystem
As the end of ROGO approaches, the State's long-standing acquisition efforts are essential to reduce future
liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned C>4,
CU
vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries.
0
The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum 1�
of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with 00.
a�
willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and in some cases pre-acquires conservation land 2
21
for resale to the State. Since July 1, 2016, with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill, DEP has spent
approximately $4,755,815, retiring 87.15 development rights as of April 30, 2022. 0
The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.
a�
The table below demonstrates the annual expenditures by DEP, since passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship 8
Bill through April 30, 2022:

U
Since the goal of DEP spending $5 million annually under the Stewardship Bill has not been achieved by the a
State making direct purchases from private sellers, Land Authority and DEP staff have been working to establish 20
a system where MCLA pre-acquires land in Florida Forever projects for resale to the State. As of April 30, 2022, .
the following is the list of pre-acquisition properties that MCLA has either purchased or has under contract to C
purchase:
• Radenhausen/Port Pine Heights 2nd Addition
• Messera Selman/Cutthroat Harbor Estates 2
• Carbonell/No Name Keys
• Ackert/Sugarloaf Key Acreage
• Koleda/Southern Pines, Kinercha, Sands CN
• Jattan/Sands
a�
• Silva/Crains
• Epifano/Crains
• CarawanHacker/Crains
If MCLA is able to sell these pre-acquisition properties to the State, it will enable DEP to spend approximately
$2.1 million.

Density Reduction Resale Program Staff Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180
The Monroe County Land Authority manages the County's density reduction efforts. When buildable lots are
N
acquired under the Density Reduction Program, they may be resold to homeowners of contiguous properties or
to Property Owner Associations, without the ability of the purchaser to ask for a Rate of Growth Ordinance
(ROGO) allocation to build a residential unit with all density stripped from the land.
0
To date, 11 parcels have been resold on Duck Key. They were originally acquired for$927,000 with development
rights. The County successfully resold them without development rights for$425,494, an average of$38.681 per
Transferrable Development Right(TDR). N
CU
The County Commission adopted an ordinance establishing a"Resale Program" on January 21, 2022. Following
the newly adopted ordinance, the BOCC adopted a resolution authorizing resale of 9 lots in Tropical Bay Estates '0
under this program. Staff issued direct bid notices to the contiguous property owners, as well as the Property 00.
Owner Association. Of the 9 lots, staff received 1 bid for one lot, 1 bid for a 2nd lot, and no bids for the remaining 2
7 lots. Both bids were approved by the BOCC on May 18, 2022. Staff will proceed to closing.
