80751a84

BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

Port Mayaca Plantation is an agricultural development consisting of 108 lots with a minimum of 20 acres in four phases on approximately 2,352 acres located between US 441 and the Florida East Coast Railroad in the vicinity of Lake Okeechobee in western Martin County. Master site plan approval wasobtained on October 23, 2007. Final site plan approval for Phase I was obtained on January 8, 2008. Completion of Phase I was originally required by January 8, 2010, however two timetable extensions were obtained, extending the time for completion to January 8, 2015.

Plat approval for Phase I was obtained on February 26, 2008. Instead of completing the required infrastructure prior to recordation of the plat, pursuant to Section 4.913, Land Development Regulations, Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC, the developer of Phase I elected to enter into a Contract for Construction of Required Improvements (Contract) with Martin County. The Contract required completion of the infrastructure by February 26, 2010, and provided security in the amount of $3,285,847.00. A 2009 Amendment to the Contract extended the time for completion to January 8, 2013. A 2013 Second Amendment to the Contract extended the time for completion to January 8, 2015.

The security amount was based on the estimated costs of improvements and was to be held in a LIP (Loan in Process) account. The Pledge of LIP account is an exhibit to the Contract and was signed by Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC, and Mercantil Commercebank, N.A., the holder of the security. The pledge specifically acknowledged that the bank would not disperse any of the pledged monies without the written authorization of the County Engineer.

On December 19, 2014, Don Donaldson, County Engineer, wrote a letter to Mercantil Commercebank, requesting that the funds held in the LIP account be released to the County. On December 18, 2014, a similar letter was sent to Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC. Because these funds were not released to the County, the County moved to intervene in the foreclosure case involving Mercantil and Port Mayaca. When the County’s motion to intervene was denied, the County filed an appeal with the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Based upon the advice of outside counsel, the County dismissed its appeal. All parties were responsible for their own costs associated with that appeal. The County’s outside counsel costsfor the litigation to date are approximately $95,000.00.

Pursuant to a Confidential Settlement Agreement between Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC and Mercantil Commercebank, N.A that resulted in an agreed upon foreclosure sale, Port Mayaca Investments, LLC, (PMI) is now the owner of the property encompassing the Phase 1 area. PMI would like to complete the infrastructure improvements. In support of the request, PMI has offered to post a cash bond to insure the completion of the required improvements and to the pay the costs incurred by the County in reference to the County’s intervention in the foreclosure action between Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC, and Mercantil Commercebank, N.A.

Staff’s believes that consideration of PMI’s request to complete the infrastructure for Phase 1 is warranted in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The plat has been recorded and, accordingly, lots are available for sale to third parties. Implementation of PMI’s request may require an amendment to the existing Contract for Construction of Required Improvements or a new Contract between PMI and the County. Additional documents may also be required. Staff is continuing its

discussions with PMI in order to clarify the request and achieve the best possible outcome. Any documents requiring action by the Board will be provided by Supplemental Memorandum.

LEGAL SUFFICIENCY REVIEW:

This item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency to determine whether it is consistent with applicable law, has identified and addressed legal risks, and has developed strategies for legal defensibility.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS Move that the Board provide staff with alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATIONPort Mayaca Investments, LLC will pay the County for the legal costs that have been expended to ensure the required infrastructure is built. The amount of the reimbursement is approximately $95,000.

Re: Information for BOCC Agenda for April 19th

As of today, Port Mayaca Investments, LLC (“PMI”) is the new owner of the 836 acre partiallydeveloped property known as Port Mayaca Plantation in western Martin County (the“Property”).

The former owner of the Property, Port Mayaca Plantation, LLC, obtained site plan approvaland plat approval for 26 twenty-acre lots in Phase 1 and spent approximately $20 million inhard and soft land development cost to substantially complete the construction of roads,drainage, infrastructure, guard house and landscaping. When the real estate and financialmarkets crashed in 2008 construction ceased. This Phase 1 plat was recorded and secured witha LIP agreement. Years of litigation ensued with the construction lender that through mergers isnow known as Mercantil Commercebank (“Mercantil”). PMI now owns the Property as a resultof a Confidential Settlement Agreement between Port Mayaca Plantation and Mercantil thatresulted in an agreed upon foreclosure sale in which PMI is now the owner of the propertyencompassing the Phase 1 area.

The construction plan approval documents were previously extended through early 2015, butare currently lapsed. The South Florida Water Management District is valid until October of2016. The approved site engineering construction plan was created by CAPTEC Engineering Inc.and PMI has hired CAPTEC as the Engineer of Record to provide inspection services and providefinal certifications to Martin County after we complete the construction of the requiredinfrastructure to serve the community.

The original Martin County Contract for Construction of Required Improvements with PortMayaca Planation, LLC was secured by a Loan in Progress (LIP) agreement with Mercantil.Mercantil defaulted on the LIP agreement and litigation was instituted by Martin Countyagainst Mercantil. Martin County’s Engineer, Don Donaldson, P. E., reviewed the remainingwork to be completed for the LIP agreement during the litigation and recently reviewedCAPTEC’s estimate to complete the construction required to satisfy the Phase 1 plat approval.Mr. Donaldson agrees with CAPTEC’s Engineers Opinion of Probable Cost for the remaining siteimprovements of $1,247,844.55. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement PMI has beenrequested to work with Martin County to facilitate the issuance of a release of litigation andany liability of Mercantil under the terms of the “Security Pledge of LIP Account” dated April 24,2008. It is my understanding that Martin County has received a draft of proposed release fromMercantil’s attorneys.

Based on earlier meetings between myself, Joe Capra and County staff, PMI would like to workwith Martin County to accomplish the following:

1. Extend the Construction Approvals to allow completion of the Phase 1 platrequirements and any related Martin County permits for the Property for a period ofeighteen months from the date the extension is granted to complete the construction ofPort Mayaca Plantation Phase 1 Plat requirements.

2. Release Mercantil from the litigation and liability of Mercantil under the terms of the“Security Pledge of LIP Account” dated April 24, 2008.

3. In order to facilitate the above Port Mayaca Investments, LLC offers to:

· Pay Martin County’s estimated legal bills for its litigation against Mercantil in theamount of $95,000; and

· Post a cash bond with Martin County for the Engineers Opinion of Probable Cost for theremaining site improvements of $1,247,844.55. This bond would be paid out on a 60-day draw schedule based on the Engineering Department’s review of the percent ofcompletion.

4. In consideration of the items set forth in paragraph 3 above Martin County agrees tosimultaneously:

· Release and settle any and all claims, counterclaims, liabilities, damages, defenses,demands and causes of action that it has or may have against Mercantil Commercebank,N.A. concerning this Property;

· Cease any further action to vacate the Phase I Plat of Port Mayaca; and

· Enter into a new Contract for Construction of Required Improvements with Port MayacaInvestments, LLC as the developer and providing for an eighteen month time period to

Phase 1.

NOW THEREFORE, PMI and County agree as follows:

1. The Contract for Construction of Required Improvements, Amendment to

Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and Infrastructure and Second

list of required improvements and infrastructure is more particularly set forth in Exhibit

A, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

3. PMI shall supply the County with security in the form of a cash bond in the

c. The warranty security shall be held for the additional fifteen (15) months

from the date of the site acceptance by the County Engineer, at which time

the PMI’s Engineer shall request its release and the County Engineer will

“punchlist” items, are free of defects due to faulty field engineering,

construction, workmanship, or materials, the warranty security shall be

released by the County Engineer.

6. In the event the required improvements and infrastructure are not completed

thereof, including but not limited to, engineering, legal, and contingent costs.

Furthermore, it is agreed by the parties hereto that County shall be reimbursed from the

security provided for any damages, either direct or consequential, which the County may

sustain as a result of the failure of PMI to carry out and execute all of the provisions of

this Contract. County shall have the option to construct and install the required

improvements with County employees and equipment, or pursuant to public

advertisement and receipt of bids, in the event of PMI’s failure or refusal to do so in

construction and full completion of the improvements exceeds the amount of security

provided, such additional costs shall be paid by PMI on written demand by the County

Engineer.
