MONTHLY ACTIVITY REPORT
21
The MCLA receives recurring revenue for property acquisitions from two primary sources. Pursuant to section
380.0685, Florida Statutes, the Authority receives a park surcharge on admission and overnight occupancy at 0
state parks within the unincorporated area of Monroe County and pursuant to section 125.0108, Florida Statutes,
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.
a�
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 in past.
x
New, this fiscal year, MCLA has successfully worked with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) to allow MLCA to pre-acquire lands within Florida Forever and then resell the parcels to the State of
Florida. This process began in FY22 and this chart now demonstrates the"revenue"MCLA is receiving as FDEP
purchases the land from MCLA. The goal is for MCLA to sell $5 Million of land per year to FDEP, based on the
Stewardship Bill. This is explained in more detail in the report. CU
The following chart demonstrates the previous 10 years of park surcharge and tourist impact tax revenue for the a
MCLA with the addition of the FDEP resales. 0

MCLA Acquisitions—City of Marathon Contact: Mark Rosch 305-295-5180
The City of Marathon passed resolutions 2016-48 which requested the purchase of 432 parcels, mostly on the
Florida Forever list and they have agreed to maintain any purchase made by the MCLA within the City of Q1
Marathon if MCLA purchases them and the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection does not
purchase them after they are pre-acquired. They have also provided back up data and analysis of habitat, density,
and Transfer of Development Rights information for the 432 parcels. This is used for appraisals when pursuing 0
purchases.

MCLA Acquisitions—Village of Islamorada Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180
MCLA Executive Director, Christine Hurley met with the Islamorada Acquisition Advisory Committee, as well u
as the Village Manager and Planning Director to explain what is needed for the MCLA to purchase land within
Islamorada, similar to what MCLA does for Marathon. A resolution by the Village Council is needed,that outlines
the parcels the Village requests MCLA purchase. Those parcels less than $1 million, within Florida Forever are
a priority to assure MCLA cash flow is not an issue. MCLA staff would pursue purchases and work with DEP to 2
21
determine whether Florida Forever funds would be used to purchase any land that is pre-acquired by MCLA.

Density Reduction Acquisition Program 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
of retiring the associated density (Transferable Development Rights or TDRs).
c�
Since 2016, 23 properties were purchased through the end of FY 21 at a cost of$1,407,722. X
FY 22 Progress: One additional property in Tropical Bay Estates has been acquired at a cost of$51,256.
0
On October 19, 2022, the BOCC requested MCLA search for a density reduction property on Duck Key that
might be better suited for a Dog Park than the BOCC property at 104 Jamaica Street. On November 15, 2022,
staff presented a contract for the BOCC to purchase an alternate site (the Haggerty property). On November 15,
2022 the BOCC decided not to purchase this alternate site.

Code Compliance Foreclosure Properties Reuse Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180
0
The Monroe County Code Compliance Department forecloses on long term code liens through a process L
designated by the County Commission. After foreclosure, the land may be suitable for multiple uses within y
County Departments or may also be useful for conservation purposes or density reduction.It could also be eligible
for the resale program. Because the Land Authority manages several of these programs on behalf of the County,
recently the County Commission agreed through interlocal agreement to have the Land Authority coordinate the
review and use of these sites.

On October 19, 2022,the MCLA Governing Board accepted a donation from an on-going environmental clearing
violation by KRZ based on an approved settlement agreement between KRZ and Monroe County, which would .0a
result in the donation of properties to the Monroe County Land Authority.

Garden View Apartments — The City of Key West partnered with Key West Housing Authority (KWHA) and 0
they are building 103 units, utilizing Community Development Block Grant — Disaster (CDBG-DR) Florida 2
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) funding, as well as funding from MCLA for affordable housing -t
development. To date, MCLA has disbursed $2,000,000 and an additional $4,507,916 was given to the Key West 0
Housing Authority (KWHA), after receiving authorization from Key West Manager Patti McLauchlin to disburse
the funds. Key West also requested MCLA reserve $2,000,000 for potential future needs of the project. MCLA
Governing Board has not approved the latest request for the additional $2,000,000. 0
Peary Court—MCLA assisted in this project by providing $12 million to maintain affordable housing. Recently a
KWHA provided a report indicating that some of the units did not meet the MCLA affordability criteria. In other E
words,the family income exceeds the maximum allowed income. MCLA staff,working with legal counsel,wrote
a memorandum to Key West staff explaining non-compliance issue and correspondingly wrote a letter to the '
owner notifying him of the 4 non-compliant units and explaining that the leases of those 4 units should not be
renewed unless the families occupying the units meet the income requirements found in the Statues. MCLA staff

met with Peary Court owners and their attorney and they may be proposing a revision to the deed restriction that
allows them to use three new code provisions the City of Key West adopted into their most recent Land
Development Code. MCLA staff requested the property owners seek a resolution of support from the City of
Key West Commission related to this request, prior to it being brought to the MCLA Governing Board. N

Monroe County
12 Scattered Sites —Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA purchased 12 scattered sites, primarily
on Big Pine,with one site on Little Torch. These properties were submitted by Monroe County Housing Authority
(MCHA) for reimbursement of land acquisition funding through FHFC. MCHA also applied for construction
funding. The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and therefore, the MCLA approved CCN,
a resolution to forgive the total amount($1,353,989) of the land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for N
construction. Monroe County Land Authority staff requested an affordable ROGO allocation be reserved for one
of the scattered sites on Little Torch, so the market rate unit associated with the property can be turned back into E
the County for administrative relief. That was approved on the September BOCC agenda. The project was w
approved for funding by the FHFC Board in August 2022 with an extension for closing granted in October 2022,
which gives MCHA until March 5, 2023 to close on the grant funding. They are awaiting permits for the 12 sites. �

Howards Haven Trailer Park Redevelopment— 10 Units - Monroe County partnered with MCLA and MCLA
provided the funding for Monroe County to purchase the Howards Haven Trailer Park land on Big Pine Key.
This property was submitted by MCHA for reimbursement of land acquisition funding through FHFC. MCHA
also applied for construction funding. The cost of construction has increased since the grant applications and
therefore,the BOCC approved a resolution to forgive the total amount($2,000,000)of the Howards Haven/Conch
Key Trailer Park land acquisition grant so those funds can be used for construction. MCLA staff are continuing
to coordinate with MCHA for site work permitting. The project was approved for funding by the FHFC at the
October 28th Board meeting in Tallahassee. MCHA has 120 days from that date to close on the grant funds. 0

N
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 October 31, 2022, 80 VHBP applications have been received by staff and the County's consultants, Tetra
Tech. As of September 30, 2022, 11 of those VHBP applications were actively being processed, 10 sold their N
parcels to the County via VHBP, and the remaining 59 either voluntarily withdrew or were deemed ineligible. CCND
CN
Based on current program participation and data, and assuming the 11 parcels in process are acquired by the
County, staff has estimated the county will expend approximately $13 million of the $15 million grant on the
parcels with the remaining moneys being used for grant administration. Grant activities need to be completed by
the grant agreement deadline of June 3, 2023, or an extension to the grant agreement may be sought if needed.
0
As of October 31, 2022, ten VHBP purchase contracts were approved by BOCC in 2022. All of these transactions -C�
have closed, expending a total of$5,311,862.64 for VHBP acquisitions to date. The ten transactions have retired
ten development rights (market rate ROGO Exemptions). All of the market rate ROGO Exemptions available 2
21
from the VHBP transactions are being moved to the Administrative Relief Pool for market rate allocations. The
BOCC approved additional purchase contracts in October and November 2022 which total $2,616,500. Once 0
closed, these contracts will bring the total for VHBP acquisitions to over $7.9 million and transfer 4 additional Im
0

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 ti
liability. DEP should aggressively pursue land acquisition in the Keys because over 3,500 privately-owned 8
vacant, undeveloped parcels lie within the Florida Forever project boundaries. 0
2
The Land Authority is assisting in this effort by serving as a local partner with DEP, pursuant to a memorandum ":�
of agreement between DEP and the County. In this role, the Land Authority helps locate suitable properties with 0
willing sellers for DEP, obtains due diligence products for DEP, and pre-acquires conservation land for resale to W
21
the State. Since July 1, 2016,with the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Bill,DEP has spent approximately a
$6,466,789 and retired 120.7 development rights as of November 21, 2022. 0
zi
The goal is for DEP to spend $5 million annually on acquisition in the Florida Forever boundary.

Density Reduction Resale Program Contact: Christine Hurley 305-295-5180
The Monroe County Land Authority manages the County's density reduction efforts. When buildable lots are
acquired under the Density Reduction Program, they may be resold to homeowners of contiguous properties or 'CON
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. E

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 0
Transferrable Development Right(TDR). 1�

The County Commission adopted an ordinance establishing a"Resale Program" on January 21, 2022. Following 2
21
the newly adopted ordinance, the BOCC adopted a resolution authorizing resale of 9 lots in Tropical Bay Estates
under this program. Staff issued direct bid notices to the contiguous property owners, as well as the Property 0
Owner Association. Of the 9 lots, staff received 1 bid for one lot, 1 bid for a 2"d lot, and no bids for the remaining LM
7 lots. Both bids were approved by the BOCC on May 18, 2022. Staff have closed both sales.
The County Attorney assisted Mayor Rice with a discussion and direction item in August to determine whether a
site received by Code Compliance could be sold through the Resale Program in Duck Key, at the request of the
Duck Key Property Owners Association. The Board requested staff reach out to contiguous property owners to
obtain their interest in the property and to request their input about a potential dog park on the site. This has been W
completed and an agenda item is on the BOCC agenda for October outlining the results. The results of this was
presented to the BOCC and staff have been asked to look for an alternate site for a dog park, given the objections
of the dog park on the site under consideration. An alternative site was considered by the BOCC on 11/15/22 for
purchase in Duck Key for $170,000. The BOCC declined the purchase because of the cost.
