b. Easement Agreement for Wastewater Pipeline ? Hernando County, Weekiwachee Preserve Project SWF Parcel No. 15-773-190X In August of 2002, Hernando County Utilities Department (County) approached the District concerning the placement of a wastewater pipeline across District lands. Staff requests approval to convey an easement agreement allowing the County to locate the pipeline on District lands.

The County wishes to construct a new eight-inch sewer main across District lands in the Weekiwachee Preserve. The sewer main will facilitate the transfer of wastewater flows from the Hernando Beach service area to the Spring Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant. The County's decommissioning of the Hernando Beach treatment facility necessitates the transfer of these flows. The County has requested a 20-foot perpetual easement, which encompasses approximately 3.75 acres. The wastewater line will run east from Shoal Line Boulevard across disturbed areas (former mine) of the Preserve, then turn south along an existing road, and exit at the southern boundary at Osowaw Boulevard. A general location map showing the easement in relation to the Preserve is included in the board packet.

The District had the easement interest appraised by Todd Marr and Associates, and the easement value was established at $67,000. In lieu of cash payment, the County has supplied sewer and water service to the Springs Coast Environmental Education Center, located within the Preserve. The value of these services is $66,672. In addition to the previously mentioned services, the County has given the District a credit of $10,000 towards the future acquisition of County-owned property, resulting in total compensation of $76,672.

Pursuant to Section 373.056 Florida Statutes, the District may exchange lands with another governmental entity under such terms and conditions as the Governing Board considers appropriate. District staff has prepared an easement agreement with standard terms and conditions.

Staff Recommendation:

See Exhibit 2

Presenter: Will Miller, Land Use & Protection Manager Land Resources Department

c. Reimbursement for Multiple Parcel Acquisitions ? Annutteliga Hammock Project During the last quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 and the first two quarters of FY2005, three parcels comprising a total of approximately five and one-half acres were purchased as part of the District's Annutteliga Hammock project. To date, approximately 2,417 acres have been acquired within the project. A general location map of the project is included in the board packet as an exhibit to this item.

Purpose of Acquisition Acquisition of these parcels is consistent with the District's Florida Forever Work Plan, which specifically identifies the Annutteliga Hammock project for acquisition.

Acquisition of these lands will meet the following Florida Forever program goals: ? Enhance the coordination and completion of land acquisition projects ? Increase the protection of Florida's biodiversity at the species, natural community,

and landscape levels ? Protect, restore, and maintain the quality and natural functions of land, water, and

wetland systems of the state ? Increase natural resource-based public recreational and educational opportunities

These Florida Forever goals are consistent with the District's goals for water resource management.

Multiple Parcel Acquisitions In October of 1998, the Governing Board approved a process for acquiring multiple subdivision lots that allows staff to obtain appraisals and use District funds to purchase lots in an amount not to exceed the appraised value. The process requires staff to report back to the Basin and Governing Boards with a status report of the multiple parcel acquisitions and request approval of a resolution for reimbursement of District funds.

Property Description Location and Access ? The parcels acquired are located east of U.S. Highway 19, west of the Suncoast Parkway, south of U.S. Highway 98, and north of Centralia Road.

Utilities and/or Improvements ? There are no improvements on the property.

Zoning ? The property is primarily zoned Residential and Agricultural.

Summary of Appraisals and Value Comparisons In accordance with District policy, one appraisal was obtained for each parcel from Tolle Appraisal or Trigg Catlett and Associates, which was reviewed by Land Acquisition staff.

The appraisals meet the necessary legal or District requirements and contain the appraisers' factual data leading to the value conclusion.
