Item G5
LAND AUTHORITY GOVERNING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: March 16. 2005
Division: Land Authoritv
Bulk Item: Yes No X
Staff Contact Person: Mark Rosch
Agenda Item Wording: Approval of the 2005 Acquisition List.
Item Background: Each year the Land Authority Advisory Committee prepares an updated
Acquisition List. Although this process takes place on an annual basis, the list may be, and often is,
amended throughout the course of the year. The Advisory Committee has prepared the attached list
for 2005 after holding public meetings on the item on January 26, 2005 and February 23, 2005.
Per section 380.0667, Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commissioners, sitting as the Land
Authority Governing Board, "shall approve the list of acquisitions, in whole or in part, in the order of
priority recommended by the Advisory Committee."
The proposed list consists primarily of large projects carried forward from last year's list. The only
addition relative to last year's list is the Key West Botanical Garden. Deletions from last year's list
include Tradewinds Hammocks Phase II (the Land Authority's loan will be repaid); the Heron House,
Seacrest Apartments, Big Coppitt/US-1 affordable housing site, and Poinciana Apartments
(acquisitions completed); 64th Street affordable housing site in Marathon (unsuccessful negotiations
and wetland issues); and 406 Julia Street affordable housing site in Key West (unwilling seller).
The addition of property to the Acquisition List is a preliminary, non-binding step indicating the Board's
desire to pursue acquisition. Further Board action is required before entering into a purchase contract.
Advisory Committee Action: On February 23, 2005 the Committee voted 4/0 to approve and forward
the list to the Governing Board.
