Agenda Packet
The Land Acquisition Advisory Committee met on November 5, 2025. Key discussions included the Village Council's decision not to allocate $1M for land acquisition. Updates were provided on several Monroe County Land Authority acquisitions: Samurai-Owned Property (owner not interested due to low offer), MM 87.5 Property (owner asking $1M, likely exceeds appraised value, recommended to wait for additional allocations), Smith Property (owner not responding, in discussions with Planning Department regarding land use change), and Van Sant Property (owner interested but dealing with private business, plans to discuss next steps in the new year). Potential land swaps with Monroe County involving 11 Village properties were also discussed. Anchorage Builders expressed interest in selling property in Venetian Shores, but the owner is no longer interested and may consider a land use change. The committee reviewed the Horsepens property, discussing potential purchase and FTC funding, with a requirement for a recreational area. A significant discussion focused on expanding the State Less-than-fee Program to include the Florida Keys, with a proposal to acquire 500 lots for approximately $5.6 million. This proposal was supported by the committee and recommended for presentation to the Village Council on December 9, 2025, and subsequent submission to the State Land Acquisition Council (ARC). The committee also reviewed and revised a letter to property owners on the Florida Forever list. The next meeting was scheduled for February 4, 2026.

B. Monroe County Land Authority Acquisitions Update
The Village of Islamorada's Land Acquisition Advisory Committee is reviewing potential land acquisitions and land swaps. Several properties are under discussion, including the Samurai-Owned Property, the MM 87.5 Property, the Smith Property, and the Van Sant Property next to CVS. The Village is also exploring land swaps with Monroe County, with 11 Village properties potentially involved. This item is currently under review, with further discussions planned. The scope of work could eventually involve property appraisals, negotiations, and potentially land development or site preparation if acquisitions proceed. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in real estate, appraisal, engineering, and potentially construction trades should monitor this process. Early engagement before final decisions and permits are made could offer a competitive advantage.

C. Anchorage Builders Potential Land Acquisition
The Village of Islamorada is considering a potential land acquisition initiative. This initiative involves exploring the purchase of property, possibly including up to 500 lots, with an estimated cost of $5.6 million. The goal is to expand conservation and recreational opportunities, potentially including public trails and amenities. The project is currently under review and has received support to be presented to the Village Council and potentially the State ARC for approval. If approved, this could involve site preparation, development of recreational areas, and related infrastructure work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early as plans develop, before bids and permits are finalized, to explore opportunities in site work, construction, and material supply.
