Brouwer and Sheila Scroggins for density reduction purposes for the price of$99,999. ITEM BACKGROUND: This acquisition is proposed pursuant to BOCC Resolution 128-2022 (the Less Than Fee Acquisition Program) to protect property rights, to reduce density, and to reduce the County's potential liability for takings suits. The subject property is a 15,000 square foot site located at 29433 Flying Cloud Avenue on the bay side of Big Pine Key and is developed with one dwelling unit. Lot 25 is developed with a house. Lot 24 is a vacant, pea rock, canal front lot. The less than fee interest being purchased by the County will combine the site into a single Unified Parcel and will: • Limit the total density of the Unified Parcel to one residential dwelling unit • Retire all other density and prohibit the transfer of density off site • Prohibit new accessory structures providing habitable space • Not prohibit accessory uses and non-habitable accessory structures • Not prohibit additions to the lawfully established existing residential unit The Sellers have executed the attached purchase agreement requiring a restrictive covenant to be recorded in the public records imposing the above restrictions. The purchase price for the less than fee interest is the program's maximum of$99,999. This purchase price is based on the $187,500 current market land value for Lot 24 listed on the Monroe County Property Appraiser's website. The estimated closing costs for this transaction will be approximately $1,500. 1377 PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The Board established and modified the Less Than Fee program though the adoption of Resolutions: 06/20/18 - 175-2018, 12/19/18 - 438-2018, 02/19/20 - 063-2020, and 04/20/22 - 128-2022 which repealed and replaced the previous resolutions.

The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as findings of fact by the Board. Section 2.

The MCLA is authorized to make offers to purchase the right to build a separate residential unit on the subject property at the most recent "Market Land Value" indicated on the Monroe County Property Appraiser's website in exchange for the retirement of that development right and execution of a title restriction, unity of title instrument, and other documents prepared by the County Attorney and/or MCLA legal counsel which are necessary to implement this program subject to the limitation that no purchase shall be made for more than $99,999 without an appraisal, in a form that is acceptable to the County, which is paid for by the property owner. In the event an otherwise eligible vacant parcel of property has been combined for tax purposes only by the Property Appraiser into a single parcel with another lot with a residential principal structure on it, MCLA staff is Page 4 of 5 1403 authorized to use the market land value from a comparable vacant lot in the vicinity as the basis for the offer to purchase the remaining, unused development rights. Section 7. This resolution shall take effect upon adoption and the additional criteria may be applied to applications already submitted for consideration. Section 8. Each agreement is subject to final approval by the Board, which retains the discretion to reject each transaction and/or otherwise modify this program.
