    Background:

  • On May 16, 2019, the Board approved the 2018 Annual Report for the Jan K. Platt Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP). One of the approved ELAPP sites identified in the report is known as the Brooker Creek Buffer Preserve Addition, which includes lands east of the Brooker CreekBuffer Preserve site between Patterson and Boy Scout Roads. The 292-acre (more or less) parcel owned by Cee Bee's Groves, Inc, a Florida Corporation (Folios 1704.0000, 2594.0000, 2596.0000, 2596.0100, 2639.0000 2642.0000 & a portion of 1749.0000) is located between Boy Scout Road and Patterson Road,as shown on the attached sketches. This site is currently ranked as a "Class "A" approved ELAPP site. Under its revised ranking policy, the ELAPP Site Selection Team has recommended the site become an "Essential" approved ELAPP site in the next ELAPP Annual Report. In 2019, County staff contacted the real estate broker for the owner to initiate negotiations. The negotiated price of $5,030,000 is the average of the two appraisals (the lower appraised value is $4,790,000 and the higher is $5,270,000). Staff supports this purchase since: 1) it complies with the revised ELAPP Ranking and Acquisition Policy; 2) the parcel is one of the last large undeveloped tracts in this portion of the County; and 3) the contract to acquire this property is a contingency in a contract for the purchase of an adjoining 250 acres under a different ownership. Transactional requirements (survey, title insurance, and environmental site assessment) will not exceed $70,000. The contract has a provision for a prorated acreage adjustment up to ten acres at $17,285 per acre ($172,850 maximum increase/decrease). Staff is also authorized to execute documents required for the owners to have the transaction treated as a bargain sale pursuant to Section 170 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code and a Section 1031 exchange if requested by the Seller. Since the Seller has an orange grove business that they will be closing down as part of the sale, the contract provides for the terms and a $100,000 deposit for the owners to stay in possession of the property for up to six months to sell off assets and close operations. The contract provides for the maintenance, relocation and, if needed, removal of a modest memorial to a family member and a close business associate of the family. Capital management costs will not exceed $950,000 for: 1) restoration of 159 acres of disturbed uplands and 2) demolition of non-essential structures. Staff is exploring the potential of this property to provide mitigation for public projects which may reduce the ELAP Program'scost to restore the property.

Buyer shall review the Environmental Site Assessment for completeness, review reports on any additional testing, and determine if there are any unacceptable contaminations or exceptions. Such assessment will be conducted by a qualified expert in the field of environmental engineering, acceptable to Buyer. If the assessment and/or testing results reveal levels of hazardous waste, pollutants, or unacceptable contaminations or exceptions which Buyer, in its sole discretion, deems unacceptable, Buyer shall so notify Seller, in writing, within One Hundred Twenty (120) days of the Effective Date, and Seller shall have the option to either (a) correct the deficiencies to the satisfaction of Buyer; or (b) notify Buyer that Seller does not intend to do so. Seller shall notify Buyer, within Ten (10) days of receipt of the notice from Buyer, as to the option Seller will exercise and, if Seller fails to notify Buyer, then it will be deemed that Seller will proceed to correct the contamination referenced in the Environmental Site Assessment.

    In the event Seller notifies Buyer that Seller does not intend to resolve the deficiency to the

    satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer, at its sole discretion, shall have the option of (a) terminating this Contract, at which time the Deposit with accrued interest, if any, shall be returned to Buyer; or (b) accepting the Property in its current condition with no corrective action by Seller. Buyer will have Twenty (20) days in which to exercise this option and, if Buyer fails to notify Seller, then it will be deemed that Buyer has exercised the option to terminate this Contract.

    In the event Seller elects to proceed with corrective action, Seller shall have One Hundred Eighty (180) days, thereafter, to complete corrective action satisfactory to Buyer. It is agreed that the closing date, as provided in Paragraph 3 herein above, shall be extended to a date Twenty (20) days after the satisfactory completion of such corrective action. In the event Seller has not completed corrective action satisfactory to Buyer within the time provided, Buyer, at its sole discretion, shall have the option of (a) terminating this Contract, at which time the Deposit with accrued interest, if any, shall be returned to Buyer; or (b) accepting the Property with no further corrective action and closing in accordance with Paragraph 3. In the event of such termination, the Deposit with accrued interest, if any, paid under this

  • 7

    Contract by Buyer, shall be returned to Buyer immediately, upon demand, and thereupon, all rights and liabilities of the parties arising under this Contract shall terminate.

    Seller acknowledges that Buyer, at the sole option of Buyer, may waive the requirement for an

    Environmental Site Assessment as detailed in this Paragraph 8. In the event Buyer waives the requirement for an Environmental Site Assessment, Buyer also waives any right to require Seller to resolve any matters relating to levels of hazardous waste, pollutants, or unacceptable contaminations or exceptions noted in the Environmental Site Assessment.

    10. EFFECTS OF DEFAULT:

    12. ESCROW AGENT:

    Escrow Agent agrees to hold, keep, and deliver the Deposit and all other sums, documents, instruments, and deeds of conveyance delivered pursuant hereto in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Contract. In the event Escrow Agent receives written notice from either party of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller resulting in any adverse claims and demands being made in connection with, or for, the monies, documents, instruments, and deeds of conveyance involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any such claims or demands so long as such disagreement may continue. In so refusing, Escrow Agent shall make no delivery or other disposition of any of the monies then held by it under terms of this Contract and, in so doing, Escrow Agent shall not become liable to anyone for such refusal. Buyer, to the extent allowed by law and subject to the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, and Seller, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent, from any and all reasonable costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegal fees that Escrow Agent may incur in its good faith compliance with the terms of this Contract, including, but not

  • 11

    limited to, any and all such costs, damages, and fees incurred in connection with the filing of an action in the nature of interpleader, by Escrow Agent. In the event of disagreement between Buyer and Seller, as provided herein above, however, this indemnification provision shall not extend to any acts of negligence, willful malfeasance, or omission on the part of Escrow Agent.

    Seller, Buyer, and Escrow Agent hereby certify that they are aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) coverage, whichever is applicable to this Contract, apply only to a maximum amount of $100,000 for each individual depositor. Seller and Buyer understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will it be held liable for, any loss occurring which arises from the fact that the amount of the above account may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor's accounts to exceed $100,000 and that the excess amount is not insured by the FDIC or FSLIC, whichever is applicable to this Contract. The Deposit will be held in a bank acceptable to Buyer, in an interest-bearing, money market account at the option and direction of Buyer. The accrued interest on the Deposit will be refunded to Buyer at the time of closing or as otherwise provided in this Contract.

    13. NOTICES:

ACREAGE ADJUSTMENT:

    The Purchase Price is based upon the Property containing Two Hundred Ninety-One (291) acres. The Purchase Price will be adjusted based on Seventeen Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars ($17,285) per acre on a prorated basis for any variation from Two Hundred Ninety-One (291) acres, as provided herein. The adjustment will be based on the survey prepared pursuant to Paragraph 7 and will include the open water associated with the non-sovereign water body commonly known as Buck Lake.

    Within Fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the survey, Buyer will provide Seller with Two (2)

    copies of the survey and the calculations for the adjustment to the Purchase Price. If there is more than a Ten (10) acre increase from the aforementioned acreage, Buyer reserves the right to terminate this Contract within Thirty (30) days of the receipt of the survey. If there is more than a Ten (10) acre decrease from the aforementioned acreage, Seller reserves the right to terminate this Contract within Thirty (30) days of the receipt of the survey from Buyer.

    If either Buyer or Seller fails to exercise the option to terminate within such time, it will be deemed that they have waived their respective right to terminate the Contract pursuant to this Paragraph 14. If the option to terminate is timely exercised, then the Deposit with accrued interest, if any, shall be returned to Buyer and thereupon all rights and liabilities of the parties under this Contract shall terminate and neither party shall be entitled to any damages as a result of its termination. 15 EXTENDED POSSESSION PERIOD:

    Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be required to deliver possession of the Property for a period of up to One Hundred Fifty (150) days following the date of closing (the “Extended Possession Period”). During the Extended Possession Period, Seller shall comply with the terms and conditions (the “Terms of Extended Possession”) set forth in Exhibit “E”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Seller understands and agrees that the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) shall be withheld from the sale proceeds due to Seller at closing and placed in a non-interest bearing escrow with Buyer’s title insurance company in order to ensure Seller’s compliance with the Terms of Extended Possession. Seller further understands and agrees that a sum sufficient to cover the premium for the insurance coverage described in the Terms of Extended Possession shall also be withheld from Seller’s sale proceeds and utilized by Buyer’s title insurance company to pay for the cost of said insurance.

  • 13

    Seller will schedule a site inspection with Buyer at least Thirty (30) days prior to the end of Seller’s

    occupancy under the Extended Possession Period to inspect the Property to determine whether any remaining trash, equipment, personal property, junk, and/or agricultural materials, still needs to be removed from the Property. Seller, at the sole option of Seller, may harvest any fruit prior to the end of the Extended Possession Period. The Director of the Conservation and Environmental Lands Management Department shall have the authority to provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to ensure the proper administration of the escrowed funds. All provisions of this Contract (including but not limited to Exhibit “E”) relating to the extended occupancy of Seller) on the Property shall remain in full force and effect for a period of One (1) year following the closing on the sale of the Property to Buyer.

    During the term of the Contract, Buyer shall have the right to enter the North Shore House and Buck Lake Structures, as well as any associated structures, to confirm and photo document the condition of these structures should such information be needed in connection with any claim against Seller for damages pursuant to the Terms of Extended Possession. Buyer will provide a minimum notice of Three (3) business days prior to this inspection.

    16. BARGAIN SALE:

    Notwithstanding that the purchase price of the Property is Five Million Thirty Thousand Dollars ($5,030,000), subject to an acreage adjustment set forth in this Contract, Buyer and Seller agree that the fair market value of the Property is in excess of the Purchase Price, and that, accordingly, the transfer of the Property from Seller to Buyer may constitute a bargain sale to a charitable organization as described by Income Tax Regulations Sections 1.170A-4(c) and 1.1011. It is Seller’s intent that the transfer of the Property to Buyer constitute in part a charitable contribution, as defined in Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Buyer agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with and assist Seller in complying with IRS regulations necessary to cause the transaction to be treated as a bargain sale to a charitable organization. Buyer agrees to execute, as and when requested by Seller, an IRS form 8283 and other appropriate documentation required by the IRS, necessary to cause this transaction to be treated in part as a charitable contribution; provided that the execution of same will not, in the sole option of Buyer, affect Buyer's right, title, interest, and/or use of the Property or create any additional liabilities. Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any additional expenses in connection with its assistance to Seller in complying with said IRS regulations. 17. SECTION 1031 EXCHANGE:

    Seller may, in its entirety or a portion, consummate the sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (a) the closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Seller’s obligation under this Contract; (b) Seller shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Contract, or its rights under this Contract, to a qualified intermediary; (c) Buyer shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by Seller; and (d) Seller shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Buyer had

  • 14

    Seller not consummated the transaction through an Exchange. Buyer shall not by this Contract or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by Seller have its rights under this Contract affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that its Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code.

    16. FAMILY MEMORIAL:

    Seller and Buyer are entering into an “Agreement for Memorial Maintenance and Relocation Family Memorial” as provided in Exhibit “G” relating to a family memorial for Bill Burchenal and Les Dennison on the Property, designating the parties who will maintain the memorial, establishing the rights of Buyer regarding the memorial, and providing for access to the memorial. Seller acknowledges and affirms that (a) there is no commitment or representation on the part of Buyer regarding the naming or dedication of the natural open space park; and (b) any naming or dedication of the natural open space park by Buyer is at the sole option, discretion, and direction of Buyer.

    AGREEMENT FOR MEMORIAL MAINTENANCE AND RELOCATION

    This Agreement for Memorial Maintenance and Recognition (the “Agreement”) made and

    entered into this ____ day of ____________, 20__, by and between Cee Bee’s Groves, Inc., a Florida Corporation (the “Seller”), having a mailing address of _____________________________, together with [Name], [Name], and [Name] (the Descendants”), having a mailing address as provided herein, and HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (the "County"), having a mailing address of P.O. Box 1110, Tampa, Florida 33601. WHEREAS, the Seller has entered into a contract (the “Contract”) to sell the property described in Attachment “A” (the “Property”) to the County, and the County is acquiring the Property as a natural preserve with limited physical improvements (such as a parking area, picnic shelter, and trails); and

    WHEREAS, the Contract provided for the execution of this Agreement for the purpose of enabling the Seller to designate select individuals to maintain an existing permanent memorial for Bill Burchenal and Les Dennison (the “Memorial”), providing for access to the Memorial, and providing the County with the right to relocate or remove the Memorial if abandoned by the Seller; and

    WHEREAS, the Seller hereby designates William K. Burchenal, Adam B. Burchenal, and James

    Michael Dennison (the ‘Descendants’) as the parties authorized to maintain the Memorial along with limited rights of access to the Property, prior to the Property being opened to the public as a natural preserve; and WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to detail the rights and responsibilities of each party concerning the Memorial and to document these rights in the public records. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED by the parties hereto as follows:

    1) RECITALS: The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

    2) DESIGN AND CONTENT OF MEMORIAL: The existing Memorial consists of three (3) flat slab concrete benches, a brick monument about three (3) feet tall and less than two (2) feet wide by one and

  • 32

    a half (1 ½) feet deep, and a metal plaque bearing the names Bill Burchenal and Les Dennison, along with a shepherd’s hook to hold hanging plants, within an area approximately ten (10) feet by fifteen (15) feet wide bordered by railroad ties, with the interior covered by wooden mulch. .

    3) LOCATION OF MEMORIAL: The County and Descendants agree that the current location of the Memorial is shown on the sketch provided in Attachment “B” (the “Memorial Location Map”).

    4) MAINTENANCE: The Seller and Descendants acknowledge, affirm and agree that the Descendants will be responsible for maintenance of the Memorial.

    5) TEMPORARY REMOVAL OR RELOCATION: In the event that any desired restoration or other activity would require the temporary removal of the Memorial, the County will be solely responsible for the removal, storage, and reinstallation of the Memorial. The Descendants acknowledges that the County may delegate the responsibility for relocation to a third party, but that this does not relieve the County of these responsibilities. In the event it becomes necessary to relocate the Memorial, the County will make every reasonable effort to relocate the Memorial to a place as close as possible to its original location. The County will be responsible for any and all costs associated with this relocation. Upon relocation the County will record in the Public Records of Hillsborough County the relocation affidavit provided in Attachment “C”, stating that the Memorial has been relocated, and providing the longitude and latitude of the new location along with a new Memorial Location Map.

The Descendants acknowledge that any replacement Memorial will not be identical to the original Memorial. All reasonable efforts will be used to make the replacement Memorial as similar to the original as possible. Any and all insurance proceeds received by the County will be used to replace the Memorial. The County acknowledges that the Descendants, their heirs, successors or assigns, may replace the Memorial at their own cost. If the County, in the sole determination of the County, finds the Memorial to be (a) destroyed, damaged, degraded, defaced or (b) has not been maintained to the extent that it is an eyesore to the Property, and the County has notified the last known Authorized Representative to request that they and/or the Descendants replace, repair or maintain the Memorial without success, the County may proceed with notification of its intent to remove the Memorial. To remove the Memorial the County will notify the last known Authorized Representative and post a notice by the Memorial for a period not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days stating why the Memorial is being removed and providing a contact person at the County. If within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the notice to the last known Authorized Representative, none of the Descendants have contacted the County with a schedule to repair or replace the Memorial, the County will process a request for the governing board of the County to approve the removal of the Memorial. A document will be recorded in the Public Records of Hillsborough County (comparable to the relocation affidavit referenced in Attachment “C”) stating that the Memorial is being removed, why it is being removed, and confirming that the County has proceeded in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
