Title of Meeting: Proposed Land Acquisition, Surplus and/or Exchange Public Meeting

Name of Agency: South Florida Water Management District

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED:

• District staff shall provide information, and will hear public comments on the District land acquisitions listed below:
  • Acquisition of fee title land interests of Tract No. W9307-946, comprised of 5.0 acres, more or less, in the amount of $40,000 located within the District’s Pennsuco Wetlands Project, in Miami-Dade County.
• District staff shall provide information regarding the proposed surplus or exchange of land listed below:
  • C1100-041, Okeechobee County – This is a vacant agricultural property containing 44.15 acres, more or less, located on the north side of Hwy 710 in Section 4, Township 38 South, Range 36 East.
  • D0100-004, St. Lucie County – This is a former field station site containing 5.81 acres, more or less, located on the southwest corner of Ideal Holding Road and State Road 70. The site is improved with a 3,750 sq. ft. CBS/Metal building.

The proposed surplus/exchange of these parcels resulted from the due diligence following the land assessment process conducted in 2013 in which staff conducted a comprehensive and detailed look at the District’s land inventory to ensure that the present and future use of these lands will be utilized in the most effective manner to support the District’s core mission requirements, and to comply with other important state policy objectives.  Public input and comment will be received.  More information about the process is available at www.sfwmd.gov/landassessment.

• OB100-001, Collier County - This is a former field station site containing 1.46 acres, more or less, located at 6167 Janes Lane, in Naples, Florida. The site is improved with a 6,880 square foot warehouse and a 4,380 square foot office building, plus the supporting site improvements.

The proposed surplus/exchange of this parcel resulted from the construction of a replacement field station complex resulting in this site being no longer needed by the District as a maintenance facility.
