Exchange Agreement/Determination REQUEST: Consideration of (1) a determination that, pursuant to rule (3)(b)1.c., F.A.C., an exchange of one parcel, totaling approximately 1.83 acres, of state-owned, nonconservation land in Leon County provides a greater benefit to the public than its retention in Board of Trustees ownership; and (2) approval of an exchange agreement to convey one parcel, totaling approximately 1.83 acres, of state-owned, non-conservation land in exchange for two parcels, totaling approximately 2.57 acres, from the Seminole Boosters, Inc., a Florida non profit corporation. VOTING REQUIREMENT FOR APPROVAL: Three votes COUNTY: Leon APPLICANT: Florida State University Board of Trustees (FSU) LOCATION: Section 35, Township 01 North, Range 01 West CONSIDERATION: Parcels-for-parcel, with the Seminole Boosters, Inc. (Boosters) to forego $35,000 in cash boot. A P P R A I S E D B Y Marr Ketcham Marr Brown EXCHANGE CLOSING PARCEL ACRES 05/22/14 05/22/14 01/25/15 01/27/15 VALUE DATE BOOSTERS Parcel $1,400,000 $1,500,000 N/A N/A $1,500, days after BOT approval Parcel N/A N/A $1,645,000 $1,575,000 $1,645, $3,145,000 BOT Parcel $3,110,000 $2,800,000 N/A N/A $3,110,000 STAFF REMARKS: Background In 1995, the Board of Trustees purchased the 1.83-acre parcel (Parcel 3) located at 619 South Woodward Avenue as part of FSU s campus expansion. Since 1995, Parcel 3 has become isolated from the main campus, separated by privately-held student housing to its north and bordered to the south and east by mixed use, retail, and commercial development, including College Town Phase 1. Parcel 3 is currently vacant and subleased to the Boosters pursuant to a 20-year lease, of which approximately 17 years remain.

2 Page Two Item 1, cont. In 1997, the Boosters purchased the 1.52-acre parcel (Parcel 1) located at 493 Stadium Drive. Since 1999, Parcel 1 has been leased to FSU for nominal rent of $1.00 per year. The lease provides for a year-to-year term with 18 automatic one-year renewal options. The renewal option period expires in Parcel 1 is currently used by FSU as a 5,000-square-foot training and organizational development facility, providing an accessible venue for specialized personnel, workplace, and organizational training. In 2015, the Boosters contracted to purchase a 1.05-acre parcel (Parcel 2) at the corner of Stadium Drive and Call Street adjacent to FSU s College of Medicine. Parcel 2 is improved with an 884- square-foot building. The building will be demolished and Parcel 2 will be converted, on an interim basis, to a parking lot until a future redevelopment program is established. Current Request FSU is requesting approval of an exchange that will allow FSU to expand its borders through the addition of contiguous acreage adjacent to FSU s existing campus. Parcel 1 will continue to be used as FSU s training and organizational development facility. Parcel 1 will be redeveloped for campus expansion as academic or academic support space. Parcel 2 is located at a highly strategic corner of campus. The intersection of Stadium Drive and Call Street is one of the primary gateways to the main campus and has seen significant redevelopment over the past several years. Since 2006, several new buildings have been constructed in this northwest corner of campus including the College of Medicine, Psychology Building, Biological Sciences Building, West Dining Hall, an expansion of the Stone Building, and a parking garage to support these new facilities. The northwest corner of campus has seen significant growth and FSU has advised that Parcel 2 is of critical importance to further its academic mission. The Boosters acquisition of Parcel 3 is important for its redevelopment projects. Parcel 3 is key and critical for the Boosters to begin Phase 2 of College Town. College Town Phase 1 is currently fully leased and this success supports further expansion. Parcel 3, in particular, will be used as an access road to link Collier Street to Gaines Street while still providing access to the proposed College Town Phase 2 parking garage facility that will provide 600 new spaces. Furthermore, College Town Phase 2 (an approximately $30 million project) will: (1) facilitate 174 new student beds and 24,000 square feet of new retail space to the area; (2) provide improved mobility for patrons and students to and from College Town and the University; and (3) create a significant number of jobs, both construction and permanent. The City of Tallahassee and the Tallahassee Community Redevelopment Agency support this exchange because the Boosters College Town Project set the vision for and has been instrumental in the revitalization of the Gaines Street/Madison Corridor, as it has attracted private investment and development in the area. The expansion of College Town will add further economic infrastructure for the Gaines Street/Madison Corridor and continue the momentum of the Gaines Street/Madison Corridor Redevelopment in Tallahassee. Furthermore, the College Town Project

3 Page Three Item 1, cont. is important for FSU because it provides further redevelopment of the still-existing blighted area adjacent to campus and provides direct support to the Madison Mile Vision, the vision established by FSU to link the existing University Center to the developing Arena District. Noticing Noticing, pursuant to section , F.S., is not required for conveyances that are less than five acres in size. Mineral Interests Both the Board of Trustees and Boosters will convey their respective lands without a reservation for phosphate, mineral, metal, and petroleum interests as provided by section , F.S. Comprehensive Plan The Department of Environmental Protection has determined that conveyances of land are not subject to the local government planning process. The acquisition of the Boosters Parcels 1 and 2 is consistent with section (17), F.S., the Public Facilities section of the State Comprehensive Plan. (See Attachment 1, Pages 1-45) RECOMMEND APPROVAL Item 2 XL Ranch Conservation Easement/DACS/Rural & Family Lands Protection Program REQUEST: Consideration of (1) an option agreement to acquire a 405-acre perpetual conservation easement over lands lying within the XL Ranch project of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) Florida Forest Service (FFS) Rural & Family Lands Protection Program (RFLPP) from XL Ranch Limited Partnership; and (2) designation of DACS/FFS as the monitoring agency.

This will be the fourteenth perpetual conservation easement proposed for acquisition. Once approved, a total of 8, acres will have been authorized for preservation under the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program. The XL Ranch Project is ranked in Tier One on the 2014 RFLPP Acquisition List. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Background The XL Ranch property has been owned and operated by brothers Layne and Cary Lightsey, of Lightsey Cattle Company, for over 20 years. Lightsey Cattle Company, based in Lake Wales, is made up of four separate ranches -- Tiger Lake Ranch and West Lake Wales Ranch in Polk County, the XL Ranch in Highlands County, and Brahma Island in Osceola County. The Lightseys also lease five other ranches where they raise cattle. The majority of these ranches currently hold acreage encumbered by conservation easements. For twelve generations the name Lightsey has been associated with cattle ranching. Since the 1850 s in Central Florida, there have been six generations who have worked the land, each passing down to the next not only their property, but also their values and traditions. The Lightseys are the recipients of the Commissioner of Agriculture s 2006 Agricultural-Environmental Leadership Award. This award has been presented annually since 1994 spotlighting environmentally innovative farming practices of the state s growers and ranchers. Property Description The 405-acre tract consists of improved pasture which supports the cow/calf operation conducted on the larger 3,232-acre ranch. The remaining 2,800 acres of XL Ranch are protected under The Nature Conservancy and the United States Department of Agriculture conservation easements. It is the overall intention of Lightsey Cattle Company to maintain the land in its current form and see that it remains of agricultural value for years to come. There is a small five-acre marsh located within the northern section of pasture, which is subject to grazing pressure. The Lightseys have sought to implement a wide range of measures to remove ditches, treat non-native invasive plants and animals, and restore more natural wetland systems on the properties they own.

Multiple species are present on the property including: burrowing owls, wood storks, alligators, migrating swallowtail kites, whitetail deer, turkey, and known occurrences of roaming Florida panther. The property has also become home to 12 radio-collared black bear, tracked by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which are known to forage and roam the ranch. Adjacent properties include the Archbold Biological Station and conservation easements held by The Nature Conservancy and the United States Department of Agriculture. In the South Florida Water Management District portion of the RFLPP property evaluation, XL Ranch was rated high for benefits and protection for Aquifer Recharge Areas.

The proposed lease will be subject to the terms and conditions applied to other aquaculture leases issued throughout the state for the same purposes, including the provision that the transfer or sale of the lease will not be approved during the first five years of the lease term. Agency Review FDACS has determined that the proposed lease and associated aquaculture activities will not result in adverse impacts to seagrasses, existing shellfish beds, natural reefs or other sensitive habitats. FDACS has reviewed the application for completeness and evaluated the business plan. Additionally, FDACS has coordinated the review of the applications with the Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Manatee County Board of County Commissioners, pursuant to rule , F.A.C., and has received no objections on the proposed lease and associated activities.

STAFF REMARKS: The lessees are requesting consideration by the Board of Trustees to modify the special lease conditions to allow use of the full water column, pursuant to section (1), F.S. The lessees plan to utilize water column racks or floating cages to position oysters in the most nutrient rich part of the water column, thereby eliminating predation by the commonly found bottom oyster predators, and making fouling of the cages and the oysters controllable. The leases are located in the Alligator Harbor Aquatic Preserve and the Alligator Harbor Aquaculture Use Zone (AUZ). Of the forty-six parcels in the AUZ, twenty-eight have been approved for modification to allow use of the full water column. The lessees are current submerged land leaseholders and aquaculture certificate of registration holders. They are compliant with the terms and conditions of their existing leases and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Aquaculture Best Management Practices. Agency Review FDACS has determined that the proposed modifications and associated aquaculture activities will not result in adverse impacts to seagrasses, existing shellfish beds, natural reefs or other sensitive habitats. FDACS has reviewed the applications for completeness and evaluated the business plans. Additionally, FDACS has coordinated the review of the applications with the Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Franklin County Board of County Commissioners (County), pursuant to rule , F.A.C.

11 Page Eleven Item 4, cont. The County expressed concern that the water column modifications may prohibit traditional uses of the water body by the recreational boating community. FDACS has communicated to the County that FDACS relies on the expertise of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to address the navigability of the state s waterways, in which the USCG reviewed the application for Alligator Harbor AUZ and issued a Private Aids to Navigation permit, authorizing signage and lighted markers which were installed along the perimeter of the AUZ to assist boat traffic. Additionally, FDACS relayed that there are 25-foot navigational easements separating each lease parcel in order to maintain access for boaters to traverse the AUZ. FDACS response was addressed at the January 6, 2015, Board of County Commissioner s meeting, and no further comments were received. A comment letter was also received from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding conditions for in-water work near manatees. Their suggestions are currently addressed in the Aquaculture Best Management Practices and copies of the conditions accompany all executed lease agreements. Special Conditions All existing standard lease conditions will remain unchanged, including the remainder of the lessees ten-year renewable terms. The lessees are proposing gear which is not covered under FDACS general permit and will require an Army Corps of Engineers permit. This requirement will also be a special lease condition. Public Interest The Florida Aquatic Preserve Act provides that no further sale, lease, or transfer of sovereignty submerged lands shall be approved within an aquatic preserve, unless the sale, lease, or transfer is in the public interest. The Aquatic Preserve Act specifically provides that aquaculture is in the public interest and aquaculture leases may be authorized in aquatic preserves [section (1)(b), F.S.] Accordingly, FDACS recommends that the Board of Trustees find that the leases are in the public interest, as set forth in statute. Noticing The proposed lease modifications were noticed pursuant to section , F.S., and only the above referenced comments from Franklin County and USFWS were received. Comprehensive Plan A consideration of the status of any local government comprehensive plan was not made for this item. FDACS has determined that the proposed action is not subject to the local government planning process. (See Attachment 4, Pages 1-18) RECOMMEND APPROVAL

Special Conditions All existing standard lease conditions will remain unchanged, including the remainder of the lessees ten-year renewable terms. The requirement to obtain a permit from the USCG for Private Aids to Navigation will be a special condition of the leases. Additionally, the lessees are proposing gear which is not covered under FDACS general permit and will require an Army Corps of Engineers permit. This requirement will also be a special lease condition.
