On June 16, 2004, the Board authorized staff to release Monroe County Land Authority's
deed restriction upon the developer's repayment of the loan. (Monroe County Land

MCLA deed restrictions that same month, after which the deed restrictions required by
the LDRs were imposed by Growth Management.)

the Board was sued by the owner/developer. On August 16, 2001 the Board approved the
$924,000 loan request. On December 17, 2003 the Board conceptually approved a
conversion to moderate income homeownership, subject to the developer providing
certain follow-up documentation. On February 18, 2004, the Board approved purchasing
the property and conveying same to Housing Authority, provided the Housing authority

The closing shall be scheduled to occur \\rithin seventy-five (75)
days from the effective date of the contract for the sale of the
unit, unless extended by the mutual agreement of the parties.

considered to have "closed." Lessor reserves, to itself and to its designees, all
legal and equitable rights it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that all
portions of the Demised Premises are used for the public purposes for which
they were intended.
d. Lessor shall be deemed reasonable in withholding its approval for any
proposed sale if the purchase terms and purchaser do not meet the

income qualified person, as defined by the Affordable Restrictions for

interests, respectively, are depreciated, damaged, or destroyed by the exercise of the right of
eminent domain. In this connection, if the condemnation is total, the parties agree that the

by the leasehold mortgagee, where leasehold mortgagee took title or ownership of or to any
or all of the Initial Lessee's interest in the Lease and/or any portion of the Demised

leasehold mortgagee shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of
performance relating to construction, marketing and transfer to Sublessees during the 120

assignee at any such sale or upon assignment of Initial Lessee's interest by the leasehold
mortgagee, that the purchaser or assignee of Initial Lessee's interest has assumed and
agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations ofInitial Lessee, including but not

the Lessor shall not sell, grant or convey to the Initial Lessee all or any portion of the

Initial Lessee, the Lessor and the Lessee agree that no such sale, grant or conveyance shall
create a merger of this Lease into a fee simple title to the Demised Premises. This
subparagraph (k) shall not be construed to prevent a sale, grant or conveyance of the
Lessor's fee simple title by the Lessor to any person, firm or corporation other than the
Initial Lessee, its successors, legal representatives and assigns, so long as this Lease is not
terminated.

or similar lending institution, subject to the follo\Ving requirements:
(a) The mortgagees) encumbering the Affordable Housing Unit shall not
exceed 95% of the maximum allowable sale price of the Affordable Housing Unit as
set forth in the Affordable Restrictions;
(b) Sublessees shall not be entitled to mortgage the leasehold interest in the
event the terms of the note, which is secured by the mortgage, may result in negative
amortization; and
(c) Except for those certain alternative methods allowed \Vith respect to
mortgage and note instruments in favor of institutional lenders as set forth below,
any instrument of conveyance, mortgage, note, lease, assignment, grant or other
disposition or encumbrance of any interest with respect to any portion of the
Demised Premises, shall contain the following required Notice of Restrictions in a
conspicuous location on the upper one-half of the first page of any such instrument,
in bold and typed capital letters greater than or equal to 14 point font:
NOTICE OF RESTRICTIONS
ANY INSTRUMENT OF CONVEYANCE, MORTGAGE, NOTE, LEASE,
ASSIGNMENT, GRANT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OR ENCUMBRANCE
OF ANY INTEREST OF ANY PORTION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES
WILL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL, USE, OCCUPANCY,
INCOME, MEANS, RESALE PRICE, RENTAL AND MORTGAGE
LIMITATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE SET FORTH
IN OFFICIAL RECORDS BOOK_, PAGE _ OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS
OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
An institutional lender financing a Sublessee's purchase or lease of an affordable unit
may, alternatively, \\'ith respect to its mortgage, note and/or rider instruments only,
prOvide the required "Notice of Restrictions" by recordinK an instrument
contem poraneously \vith the recording of its mortgage (but which may be separate
and apart from the mortgage instrument), in a form othenvise providing the notice
required in this section as long as that separate recorded instrument references the
property, borrower, lender and financing transaction (e.g. loan number) involved.
Any instrument of conveyance, mortgage, note, encumbrance, lease, assignment or
other disposition made without follO\'ving the procedures set forth herein shall be
void and confer no rights upon any third person, though such instruments may, in
some cases, be validated by fully correcting them according to procedures
established by Lessor, as determined in Lessor's sole reasonable discretion so as to
Page 27 of 39
ensure compliance with the public affordability purposes furthered by this Lease and
the Affordable Restrictions. Lessor's corrective procedures shall ensure compliance
with the public affordability purposes furthered by this Lease and the Affordable
Restrictions; and, shall, as a minimum, permit the correction of an institutional
lender's mortgage instruments to the full extent necessary to protect the Lender's
financial interest in any portion of the Demised Premises to the extent that such
financial interest does not exceed the allowable resale or rental value of such
encumbered portion under the Affordable Restrictions.
Cd) Sublessee shall present any proposed mortgage or other instrument to
and obtain \Hitten approval by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
vvithheld.
(e) In the event offoreclosure sale by a Sublessee's mortgagee or
the delivery of an assignment or other conveyance to a Sublessee's
mortgagee in lieu of foreclosure with respect to any real property subject
to the provisions of this Lease, said mortgagee, or the purchaser at
foreclosure, shall comply with the provisions of Article XII. No sale of
any affordable unit shall be permitted at an amount in excess of that
allowed under the Affordable Restrictions.
(f) The parties recognize that it would be contrary to the
fundamental affordable housing concept of this Lease and an incentive
to abuse Sublessee's authorization to encumber its leasehold interest
~ith a mortgage if Sublessee could realize more in loan or sale proceeds
than their permitted purchase or resale price as a result of any
transaction. Accordingly, Sublessee hereby irrevocably assigns to
Lessor (or the Monroe County Housing Authority or other Lessor
designee) any and all net proceeds from the sale of any interest in the
Demised Premises remaining after payment of costs of foreclosure and
satisfaction of the lien of any mortgage which would have otherwise
been payable to Sublessee, to the extent such net proceeds exceed the net
proceeds that Sublessee would have received had the interests been sold
pursuant to the Affordable Restrictions. Sublessee hereby authorizes
and instructs the mortgagee or any party conducting the closing of a sale
or transfer to pay the amount of said excess directly to I,essor. In the
event, for any reason, such excess proceeds are paid to Sublessee,
Sublessee hereby agrees to promptly pay the amount of such excess to
Lessor.
ARTICLE XVI

period of thirty (30) days or fails thereafter to proceed to the curing of such default with all
possible diligence.

the Lessor is empowered to take such action and to request reimbursement or restoration
from the Lessee as appropriate.

of such reletting, and hold Sublessee liable for any difference between the rent that would
have been payable under this Lease and the net rent for such period realized by Lessor, by
means of such reletting. However, such Lessor rights shall not abrogate a mortgagee's
rights to the extent those rights do not conflict with or injure Lessor's interests as
established under this Lease. Personal property left on the premises by a Sublessee may be
stored, sold, or disposed of by Lessor, and Lessor accepts no responsibility other than that
imposed by law. Any Sublease shall contain the following warning prominently set forth in
writing:

Lease) exceeds the amount agreed to be paid as rent for the Demised Premises for such
period of such re-Ietting.
Notwithstanding any such re-Ietting without termination, Lessor may at any
time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should Lessor at any
time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have,
Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages incurred by reason of such breach; including
the cost of recovering the Demised Premises, which amounts shall be immediately due and
payable from Lessee to Lessor.

MINOR CONDITIONAL USE DEVELOPMENT ORDER # 1-00
A DEVELOPMENT ORDER APPROVING THE MINOR
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST OF THE HERITAGE COMPANIES
AND MRT OF THE FLORIDA KEYS, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A 122-UNIT AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT KNOWN AS
TRADEWINDS HAMMOCKS, ON PROPERTY LOCATED ADJA-
CENT TO TRADEWINDS SHOPPING CENTER AND FURTHER
DESCRIBED AS LOTS 1 THROUGH 14, INCLUSIVE, BLOCK 4,

WHEREAS, The Heritage Companies and MRT of the Florida Keys, is the owner of real
property described as Lots 1 through 14, inclusive, Block 4, Industrial Acres Subdivision, and Tract
"E'f of Tradewlnds , Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida, Mile Marker 101.5 ; and
WHEREAS, The Heritage Companies and MRT of the Florida Keys applied for a Minor
Conditional Use approval for the construction of Tradewinds Hammocks, a 122-unit affordable
housing development in four buildings, with a 3,000 square foot clubhouse and a pool on property
rocated in the Urban Residential land use district; and
WHEREAS, the Development Review Committee (DRe) of Monroe County, Florida, in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.5-24 and 9.5-68 of the Monroe County Land
Development Regulations, met to review the request of The Heritage Companies and MRT of the
Florida Keys for approval of the Tradewinds Hammocks Minor Conditional Use application on
February 10, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Development Review Committee reviewed the following documents and
other information relevant to the Tradewinds Hammocks Minor Conditional Use request:
1. The application for a Minor Conditional Use dated January 3, 2000 including a site plan
prepared by Bender and Associates and dated December 28, 1999, revised January 31,
Page 1 of 7

T
2000, a landscaping plan prepared by the Craig Company and dated December 22, 1999,
revised January 31, 2000; and
2. The staff report prepared by Donny Lang, Planner, and Sandra Lee, Biologist, dated
February 10, 2000; and
3. A Vegetation Survey and Habitat Evaluation Indices (HEls) by Susan Sprunt of
Environmental Consulting Systems, Inc.; and
4. Comments by members of the Development Review Committee; and
WHEREAS, based upon the information and documentary evidence submitted, the
Development Review Committee adopted the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
1, Based on the application, we find that a conceptualdrainage plan was submitted and sent
to the County Engineer. The site plan has been revised, but no revised site drainage plan
has been submitted, The County Engineer has not reviewed or approved the conceptual
drainage plan. Therefore, we conclude that the project is not in compliance with Section
9.5~293 of the Monroe County Code; and
2, Based on the submittal, we find that the Habitat Evaluation Index (HEl) submitted for Tract
"E" was conducted under a previously used format. Therefore, we conclude that the HE!
submitted is not in compliance with Section 9.5~336 of the Monroe County Code; and
3. Based on the landscape plan submitted, we find that a transplantation list or detailed plan
was submitted on February 10, 2000, However, we have not had sufficient time to review
the plan. Therefore, we conclude that the project is not in compliance with section 9.5-344
of the Monroe County Code; and
4. Based on the submittal, we find the applicant has not provided any evidence from the
adjoining shopping center granting the affordable housing project to take access through
the shopping center property. Therefore, we conclude that the project is not in compliance
with Section 9.5-421 of the Monroe County Code; and
5. Based on comments from the Monroe County Traffic Consultant, we find that several
issues remain unresolved with the traffic study submitted, Therefore we conclude the traffic
study is not in compliance with Section 9.5--426 of the Monroe County Code; and
6. Based on the site plan, we find that clear site triangles are not shown at the intersection
where the driveway for the affordable housing joins the shopping center. Therefore, we
condude that the project is not in compliance with Section 9.5-427 of the Monroe County
Code; and
7, Based on the site plan, we find that the applicant has not provided for a safe and non~
motorized transportation system. The two cul~de-sacs have 40-foot radii. The County Fire
Marshal's office requires the cul-de-sacs to have 50-foot radii. In retaining the basketball
court and relocating it about 10 feet north, we find that the entire 10-foot minimum side
yard must be waived in order to construct a compliant cul-de-sac with a 50-foot radius on
the portion of the project taking access from Samson Road. We find that the 165-foot
portion of Buttonwood Lane running north/south currently has only a narrow dirt road.
Buttonwood Lane will need to be developed with a 40-foot right of way and all other
Monroe County standards, including those required by the Fire MarshaL We also find that
an ADA-compliant sidewalk system throughout the project linking each building would
Page 2 of7
Initial :r: Ilfr:!-
Tradewinds Hammocks D.O. #1-00
,.L ,/'
t3 L
serve to provide safe walking and bicycflng, This would require a waiver to the 10-foot
minimum side yard in the location connecting Industrial Acres to Tract "E". Therefore, we
find that the project as proposed is not in compliance with Goal 301 of the Comprehensive
Plan, but that the project (site plan) could be modified to comply with the required 50-foot
radius cul-de-sacs and the ADA-compliant sidewalk; and
8. Based on proposed rents, the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's HOME program, and
Monroe County's 1999 maximum income levels, we find that the proposed project
adequately addresses Goal 601 of the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, we
conclude that the project shall rent 20% of the units in the very-low category and rent 80%
of the units in the low category and will therefore comply with Goal 601 of the
Comprehensive Plan; and
9. Based on the letter of coordination from the FKAA, we find that a water main extension will
be required prior to providing water service to the proposed project. However, a ffnal
approval determination cannot be made until a complete set of plans has been approved
and submitted to Planning staff. Therefore, we conclude that compliance with Goal 701 of
the Comprehensive Plan has not yet been determined; and
10. Based on a letter of coordination from the Department of Health, we find that the proposed
sewage treatment plant and disposal system must comply with the minimum requirements
in effect at the time that an application is submitted. However, we note that the size of the
plant will require Department of Environmental Protection approval. Therefore, we
conclude that compliance with Goal 1001 of the Comprehensive Plan cannot be
determined at this time; and
11. Based on the submittal, we find that the applicant submitted a letter of coordination from
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on February 9, 2000, which is required by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). However, we have not had sufficient time to
review the letter. Therefore, we conclude that the project is not in compliance with the
conditional use requirement of submittal of a coordination Jetter or with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service as required by FEMA Regulation 44 C.F.R S 60.3(a)(2) which requires
screening of permit applications for compliance with the Endangered SpeCies Act; and
12. Based on the submittal, we find that the applicant has not received a road abandonment for
Troupe Road and Buttonwood Lane or an agreement with the adjoining shopping center for
their one-half interest in the abandoned Troupe Road. Therefore, we conclude that until all
of Troupe Road and one-half of Buttonwood Lane are acquired by the applicant, the project
does not comply with Section 9.5-64, Initiation, which states that an applicant for a
development permit shall be submitted by the owner, an agent authorized in writing to act
on the owner's behalf, or other person having a written contractual interest in the parcel of
land for development; and
13. Based on the site plan, we find that a proposed road through the wetland setback at the
southeast corner of the property, per DCA approval, is in violation of the required wetland
setbacks. Therefore, we conclude that this proposed road is not in compliance with the
Aprif 15, 1997 Intergovernmental Agreement to Sections 9.5~286, 288, and 345(m); and
14. Based on representation from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, we find that
the snail relocation permit (WX98048) has expired; and

I.
Management District has not approved the conceptual drainage ptan. Therefore,
we conclude that the project is 110t in compliance with Section 95-293 of the
rvlonroe County Code; and
2.
Based on the submittal, we find that a transplantation list or detailed plan must be
submitted to statT Therefore, we conclude that the project is not in compliance
\\lith section 9.5-344 ofthe ilvlonroe County Code; and
3 Based on proposed rents, the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's HOME
program, and Monroe County's 1999 maximum income levels, we find that the
proposed project adequately addresses Goal 60] of the Y car 201 0 Comprehensive
Plan. Therefore, we conclude that the project shall rent 20% of the units in the
very-low category and rent 80% of the units in the low category and evil! theretore
comply with Goal 60 I of the Comprehensive Plan; and
4.
Based on the submittal, we find that the applicant has not received a road
abandonment for Troupe Road and Buttonwood Lane or an agreement with the
adjoining shopping center for their one-half interest in the abandoned Troupe
Road. Therefore, we conclude that until aJl of Troupe Road and one-half of
Button\vood Lane are acquired by the applicant, the project does not comply with
Section 9.5-64, Initiation, \\/hich states that an applicant for a development permit
shalt be submitted by the owner, an agent authorized in writing to act on the
owner's behalf, or other person having a written contractual interest in the parcel
of land for development; and
5.
Based on Development Order # I ~OO, we find that the proposed phased
development was approved with total open space in excess of environmental code
requirements. Based on the revised site plan submitted however, the applicant lS
unable to meet the the habitat open space requirelnents for moderate quality
hammock of Sections 95-343 & 9.5-345 within phase one without adjusting the
boundaries of phase one to include additional moderate quality hammock
Therefore, we conclude that the applicant must provide additional moderate
quality hammock within phase one by expanding the boundaries of phase one to
meet open space requirements within that phase.
6.
Based on the expansion of the phase one boundary to include additional
hammock, we find that the development pian for phase two will require revision
to ensure compliance with County Code. fherefore, we conclude that the site
plan for phase two must be revised through an amendment to the conditional LIse
order prior to the issuance of any bui fding permit fllr phase t\vo.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted the following fmdings of fact and conclusions
ofIaw:
1. Based on previous action by the Monroe County Planning Commission, Trade\Vinds Hammock
Phases I and II were approved via Development Order #1-00 (March 23, 2000). Based on
Planning Commission Resolution P44-01 (June 7, 2001), we find that prior to issuance of a
building pennit for Phase II, the applicant must receive approval for an Amendment to a Minor
Conditional Use; and
2. Based on the revised site plan submitted, the letter from Kimco Realty Corporation dated
6J04!02 and the Board of County Commissioners action of 5/15/02 approving the abandonment
of Troup Road, we find that Phase n will reduce the number of units from 56 to 52 therefore
meeting the density requirement per the Monroe County Code; and
3.
Based on the submitted plans and analysis by Environmental Resources Staft: strict adherence
to the open space requirements wiH preserve Disturbed Habitat at the expense of development
within more sensitive Low Quality Hammock. Therefore, we find that the County Biologist's

authorization for a deviation to allow more complete development within the Disturbed Habitat
is warranted; and
4.
Based on the submitted site plan the basketball court (required by law to remain in Phase I) has
been relocated \vithin Phase L Therefore, based on Momoe County Code Section 95-345, we
find that therelocatcd amenity meets the clustering requirements for Phase I: and
5.
Based on the submitted Level III Traffic Study prepared by Carter & Bmgess, Inc, and the
comments of the County's traffic consultant, we find that the proposed access to Phase II via
Troup Road must meet all Florida Department of Transportation requirements with regard to
connecting with north~bound US L Furthermore, based on the staff report submitted and the
testimony of the applicant we find that the applicant shall be responsible for constructing Troup
Road and for meeting all appropriate criteria set forth by the County Engineer. Therefore, we
conclude that an access permit for Troup Road must be received from the Florida Department
of Transportation; and
6.
Based on the comments of the County's traffic consultant, we find that a revised conceptual
plan for the intersection of Troup Road and US I indicating the appropriate clear sight triangles
must be submitted before compliance with Section 9.5-427 can be determined; and
7.
Based on the staff report and the site plan submitted, we find that the drainage plan (surface
water management) for Phase II must be approved by the South Florida Water Management
District as a modification to Permit 44-00294-P. We also find that the County Engineer must
also approve the plan; and
8.
Based on the submittal, we find that the proposed wastewater treatment plant permit for Phase
II is currently being processed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
