RESOLUTION NO. 339 -2003
A RESOLUTION BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, APPROVING THE REQUEST OF RICHARD AND
LINDA GRANGER TO EXCHANGE PRIVATELY OWNED LAND OF
CONSERVATION VALUE FOR LANDS DEDICATED TO THE COUNTY
FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES UNDER THE COUNTY'S RATE OF
GROWTH ORDINANCE AS PER RESOLUTION 179-2003.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has authority under Section 125.37,
Florida Statues, following proper notice, to exchange properties without going through bid
procedures, provided that in the opinion of the Board the property is no longer needed for public
purposes and it may be in the best interest of the County to exchange such property for other real
property which the county may desire to acquire for public purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Board passed Resolution 179-2003 which adopts guidelines for
approving any exchange of property dedicated to the County for conservation purposes under
ROGO; and
WHEREAS, Richard and Linda Granger who own Lot 14, Drs. Arm Subdivision
Addition No.3 on Big Pine Key has requested approval to exchange properties under Resolution
179-2003; and
WHEREAS, Lot 15 Drs. Arm Subdivision Addition No. 3 on Big Pine Key was
dedicated to the County for the purpose of gaining points in ROGO for Permit number 01-3-
1317 (hereafter referred to as the 'dedicated property'); and
WHEREAS, Richard and Linda Granger is requesting ownership of the dedicated
property in exchange for property they own known Lot V, Pine Key Acres and having Real
Estate ID # 00111070.022000 (hereafter referred to as the 'exchanged property'); and
WHEREAS, Staff finds that the guidelines set forth in Resolution 179-2003 have been
addressed as follows:
A. The exchanged property shall meet all the requirements for a dedicated lot or acre of
unplatted land under Section 9.5-122.3(5), Monroe County Code.
The applicant's exchanged property is located within the Key Deer National Refuge and
is also within the State CARL boundaries. The lot size is one acre and is zoned SR which
has an allocated density of 2 dwelling units per acre. The lot is buildable.
B. The exchanged property must be eligible to receive ROGO points for dedication
purposes equal to or greater than the points awarded to the dedicated property.
The dedicated lot is a single lot zoned IS and received 2 points for its dedication under
building permit 01-3-1317. The exchanged lot is one acre of unplatted buildable land
which would also receive 2 points if dedicated in ROGO.
C. The exchanged property shall be located on the same island.
Both the dedicated lot and the exchanged lot are located on Big Pine Key.
D. The exchanged property shall be within a designated Tier I area or areas designated
for public acquisition for conservation and resource protection purposes.
The exchanged property is located within a proposed Tier I area and areas designated for
public acquisition (CARL).
E. The "H" value of the exchanged property shall be equal to or greater than three (3)
times the "H" values for the dedicated property for any property exchanges on Big
Pine Key or No Name Key.
Because the property exchanges are on Big Pine Key this requirement applies. The "H"
value of the dedicated property is .0007 while the H value of the exchanged property is
.0085, more than three times the H of the dedicated lot. H values were determined using
the GIS data developed by URS Corp. as a part of the HCP process.
F. The dedicated property shall only be used for principal residential and residential
accessory uses.
The applicant has stated that they intend to use the lot for accessory uses to their principal
residence on Lot 14. The applicant will be required to aggregate lot 14 and the dedicated
property once the exchange is complete.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners finds that the exchange of the
dedicated lot for the proposed exchanged lot promotes conservation and resource protection and
smart growth in Monroe County; NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY that:
Section 1. The BOCC hereby approves the exchange of the dedicated property for the
exchange property.
Section 2. The BOCC directs the County Attorney's office to draft the appropriate legal
documentation to transfer the title of the dedicated property to Richard and Linda Granger and of
the exchanged property to Monroe County and authorizes the Mayor of Monroe County to sign
said documents.
Section 3. The exchanged lot shall be inspected by Code Enforcement and all trash and
debris shall be removed prior to dedication to the County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County
Florida, at the regular meeting of said Board held on the 20th day of August, 2003.
