Item 1 David G. & Rita Law Lease Revocation

DEFERRED FROM THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AGENDA

REQUEST: Authorization to revoke an existing 25-year sovereignty submerged land lease containing 30,296 square feet, more or less.

COUNTY: Collier
Lease No. 111536925
Lessee: David G. Law and Rita Law (d/b/a Goodland Bay Marina)

APPLICANT: Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)

LOCATION: Section 18, Township 52 South, Range 27 East, in Blue Hill Creek, Class II Waters, within the local jurisdiction of Collier County
Aquatic Preserve: Yes, Rookery Bay, Resource Protection Area III
Outstanding Florida Waters: Yes
Designated Manatee County: Yes, with an approved manatee protection plan
Manatee Aggregation Area: No
Manatee Protection Speed Zone: Yes, idle/slow speed zone

STAFF REMARKS: This request was presented for Board of Trustees' consideration on September 11, 2001, because of the lessee's flagrant and repetitive violations of the lessee's sovereignty submerged lands lease, Florida Statutes, and Florida Administrative Codes. At that meeting, the Board of Trustees deferred action on the DEP's request until November 14, 2001. That deferral was requested by DEP to provide DEP, the lessee, the lessee's agent, legal counsel and engineer additional time to enter into a Consent Final Judgment to resolve the lessee's violations.

The negotiations between the parties are not yet finalized, therefore staff is requesting deferral of this item until the November 27, 2001 Cabinet meeting.
