AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution of the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners establishing the monetary value of a single ROGO allocation system competition point
for purposes of payment by applicants in the ROGO system with a maximum of 2 points available per
application.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In March of 2006 the BOCC approved several ordinances that comprise the
Tier System which came into effect in October oflast year. Two of those ordinances 009-2006 & 011-
2006 include the available option to increase the point value within the competitive ROGO process by
providing fair compensation to the Monroe County Land Acquisition Fund. The ordinances establish
that the fair value shall be the value of one ROGO point as awarded through dedication of land. The
method for calculating the fair market value of a ROGO point for land dedication was determined by
using our Monroe County Geographic Information System (GIS) and Monroe County Property
Appraiser records. The finding was that the average fair market of a vacant, legally platted, privately
owned, buildable lot located in an Improved Subdivision or Urban Residential Mobile Home Land Use
District and designated Tier 1, eligible for dedication to the County for four points, to be $47,002.12.
This resolution will give an applicant in ROGO an option to purchase a maximum of 2 points for
$11,750.00 per point.

RE: ROGO Point Monetary Value
The intention of this memo is to provide additional clarification concerning the establishment of a
monetary value for ROGO points.
The BOCC approved the suite of ordinances that comprised the Tier System in March of 2006.
Two (2) of those ordinances changed the landscape of competition for both our Residential Rate
of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and our Non-Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (NROGO).
These two ordinances, 009-2006 & 011-2006, include the available option to increase your point
value within the competition by providing fair compensation to the Monroe County Land
Acquisition Fund. This is not the exact title of the fund utilized for land acquisition and
management. It is not my opinion that the authors intended a new fund to be created but rather
the monies contributed for this purpose be utilized to acquire land for conservation purposes.
The ordinances establish that the fair value shall be the value of one ROGO point as awarded
through dedication of land. To establish this value we consider the dedication potential for a
property which is vacant, legally platted, buildable, privately owned, lots within the improved
subdivision (IS) or the urban residential mobile home (URM) land use districts and designated
Tier 1. If a property such as this were dedicated under the Tier System the applicant would be
awarded four (4) points for each such lot donated. Therefore, to calculate the monetary value per
point we calculate the average fair market value for all such lots available for donation.
The average fair market value is found through the querying of the current Monroe County
Property Appraiser records matching with valid data from the Growth Management Division.
Using this method within a geographic information system (GIS) environment we can select the
specific parcels which meet the above criteria and determine the fair market value for each such
property in Monroe County. Utilizing this method we find that presently 871 such parcels exist
and have an average fair market value of $47,002.12. This indicates that the cost to donate one
such lot to Monroe County in return for four (4) additional points toward an application in ROGO
or NROGO is approximately $47,002.12. We can then conclude that the fair market value of one
(1) point is approximately $11,750.00.
The ordinances 009-2006 & 011-2006 require this value to be recalculated based on new data
each year and be reaffIrmed by the BOCC at that time.
