| BACKGROUND: |
In 2004, through land acquisition, the Board began to implement a density reduction program recommended in the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) to combat the encroachment of residential and incompatible use on the military mission to Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP). This program promotes flexibility for NASP to adapt training missions to meet future needs. A primary funding source for these land acquisitions is the Defense Infrastructure Grant (DIG) program administered by Enterprise Florida. The DIG program provides no-match grants to assist in meeting the needs of Florida communities hosting defense industries, bases, and installations. Escambia County has participated in this program since 2007.
The subject parcels were three of seventeen parcels targeted in coordination with the Navy to meet the goal of reducing encroachment of residential and incompatible uses within the Airfield Influence Planning District (AIPD) for NASP. The three contiguous parcels are located at 613, 615, and 617 South Navy Boulevard.
These acquisitions are time sensitive due to the expiration of Defense Infrastructure Grant (DIG) funding on June 28, 2019. Staff intended to utilize Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program (REPI) grant funds to address the funding shortfall; however, the REPI contracts will not be ready for Board consideration until July 2019. To meet the grant expiration timeline, LOST III funding ($142,876) could bridge the gap until the REPI funds are received, which would then be reimbursed to the Local Options Sales Tax.
In order to obtain the Restrictive Easement value, the appraiser first had to provide a value of the overall real property. The value for the property located at 613 South Navy Boulevard is listed on page five of the appraisal. The value for the properties located at 615 and 617 South Navy Boulevard is also located on page five of the appraisal; however, that is the combined value of the two parcels since they are under the same ownership. These parcels are being bought individually and the per-lot value for each parcel is located at the bottom of page 42. |
