TITLE
Consideration of a Ballot Question for a General Obligation Bond for the Purchase of 1 Main
Street/Paradise Park
SUMMARY:
The Village of Tequesta has an opportunity to acquire 1 Main Street/Paradise Park, a key property
within the Tequesta Village Center, consisting of three parcels:
Parcel No. 60-43-40-30-47-002-0000
Parcel No. 60-43-40-30-47-001-0000
Parcel No. 60-43-40-30-47-003-0000
The properties have sat vacant since the early 2000s. The Village had an approved lease agreement
for the properties dating back to 2009, and the Village utilized the space as a park space. In 2021,
the properties went up for Sale, and the Village no longer had rights to the property. The Property
was sold in 2023.
In June 2021, the Village of Tequesta obtained an appraisal valuing the properties at $5,285,000 (see
attached), while the owner sought $6,000,000. A recent appraisal has increased the valuation to
$9,800,000 (see attached report). The new owner is willing to sell the properties to the Village for
$8,800,000. To finance this acquisition, the Village Council is proposing a General Obligation Bond of
"not to exceed" $9,000,000, subject to voter approval via ballot.
The placement of a referendum on the ballot for the March 2026 election, allowing voters to decide on
issuing a General Obligation Bond not toexceed $9million for the purchase of 1 Main
Street/Paradise Park. The bond validation process will follow the timeline outlined in the "General
Obligation Bond Validation" document, ensuring compliance with all legal and procedural
requirements.

Agenda Item #3.
Property Lease
In exchange for the owner holding the property for the voters to decide on the purchase of this
property through a referendum, the Village would lease the property from the owner to assist in
covering the owner's cost for taxes and insurance obligations. The term of the lease would be for 1
year at a cost of $125,000. The owner would apply half of the lease proceeds toward the purchase
price. The Village and Seller are still working out the details of the lease agreement language.
Parking Covenants (See attached memo)
Staff has met with the adjacent property owners (250 Tequesta Drive and 1 Main Street). The
owners provided and highlighted the parking agreements/requirements that should be considered for
this property.
250 Tequesta Drive requires that the owner of the parcels provide 21 spaces when the parcel
develops.
The owner of 1 Main Street entered into a sales agreement for the 3 parcels, requiring that the
property at 1 Main Street stay in compliance with the parking code. 1 Main Street currently
utilizes the parking lot (parcel 1 of 3) to remain in compliance.
The Owner of the 3 parcels would need to maintain a shared parking arrangement and provide
a minimum of 40 parking spaces to the 1 Main Street property.

FROM: Jay Hubsch, Community Development Director
DATE: 08/26/2025
SUBJECT: Parking Constraints at One Main Street
One Main Street Property – Parking Encumbrances and Considerations
The One Main Street property has a complex development history, including multiple parking
encumbrances benefitting adjacent properties. One key encumbrance involves the Tequesta
Corporate Center at 250 Tequesta Drive (Wells Fargo).Under a recorded parking easement
agreement, the owner of the vacant One Main Street parcels must provide 21 parking spaces
for Tequesta Corporate Center. These spaces are to be located along the westernmost portion
of the site in accordance with the site plan attached to the easement.
In 2023, the owner of the existing building at 1 Main Street (Parcel 4) sold the remaining three
undeveloped parcels to the current owner. The purchase contract included a covenant to
maintain compliance with Village parking regulations. Specifically, it states that the buyer “will
not make any submittals to any applicable governmental authorities that would result in Parcel
4 not being in compliance with applicable zoning codes and laws, including, but not limited to,
compliance with the parking requirements of the Village of Tequesta”.
Parcel 4’s existing building does not have sufficient on-site parking to meet current Village
code. It provides:
25 on-site spaces on Parcel 4;
12 additional spaces through an off-site parking agreement with the building
immediately to the east (former Bank of America site);
The balance of required spaces must be provided on the three undeveloped One Main
Street parcels.
While the exact number of code-required spaces for Parcel 4’s current uses has not yet been
confirmed, a conservative estimate isthat at least 40 additional spaces are needed on the
three undeveloped parcels to serve Parcel 4.
Page 251 of 430
Agenda Item #3.
Future Development and Shared Parking Opportunities
If the three undeveloped parcels are developed in the future (e.g., for residential, office, or
commercial use), there may be opportunities to implement shared parking strategies. For
example, daytime office uses could share spaces with residential uses that have peak demand
overnight, reducing the total number of exclusive spaces required.
Conversely, if the Village were to acquire the parcels for park or recreational use, the ability to
share parking would be more limited, since park facilities are typically utilized throughout the
day. In that scenario, the Village would need to provide or maintain approximately 40 parking
spaces exclusively for the businesses within Parcel 4 to maintain compliance with Village code
and the contractual obligations. These spaces would be in addition to the 21 spaces required
under the recorded easement for Tequesta Corporate Center. In total, the Village could be
responsible for providing at least 61 parking spaces on the three parcels if they are acquired.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA PARKLAND PURCHASE PRIORITY POLICY
Land Acquisition Framework and Criteria
Purchase Priority Policy, Parks Master Plan
The emphasis of these policies is working with a willing seller in acquiring lands.
The development of a sustainable recreation and open space system that adequately provides
for the current and projected recreational needs of the Village and enhances its built and natural
environment by providing active and passive recreation opportunities.
ACQUISITION FRAMEWORK
Figure 4-1 presents a generalized decision model for considering the acquisition of candidate
properties. It involves five steps. At any given step an individual property may be excluded from
consideration.
Step 1 - Acquisition Opportunity: The process begins with virtually anyone proposing a
parcel for acquisition, including an individual property owner. The general location,
assessor and land use information about the property, and the owner status as a willing
seller is documented. These considerations are further described in Section 1.1.
Step 2 - System Context: The potential acquisition is characterized relative to the
acquisition goals of the Village and partnership opportunities. These are further described
in Section 1.2.
Step 3 - Sustainability: A sustainability analysis is conducted to determine if the existing
Village Parks system can sustain the proposed acquisition. This analysis is further
described in Section 1.3.
Step 4 - Property Characteristics: Detailed information about the parcel is characterized
to determine if there are specific resources, access conditions, use opportunities,
liabilities, or other use constraints that would affect considerations about acquiring the
property. This characterization is further described in Section 1.4. As more detailed
information is obtained about a property, circumstances may come to light that warrant
further deliberation as to the viability of that acquisition vis-à-vis the System Context and
Step 5 - Acquisition Priority: The potential acquisition is evaluated and considered
relative to other potential acquisitions active at the time using specific priority criteria.
This analysis is further described in Sustainability considerations.
Encompassing all steps is the consideration of balancing the land acquisition costs with the
future value of the land in meeting the recreation needs of the Village. The Park Funds set aside
for acquisition can be considerable, yet they are limited.
1.1 Owner Considerations
If a property owner contacts the Village this indicates that there is a willing seller. An asking
price is requested. If the Village contacts the owner, and there is not interest on the part of the
owner to sell either property or an easement, the inquiry is terminated.

Agenda Item #3.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA PARKLAND PURCHASE PRIORITY POLICY
1.2 System Context
To allow the Village to determine in a timely fashion if the particular property would benefit the
overall Park System , an early
determination is made about partnership opportunities and countywide significance.
Following the guidance presented in the Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Plan, land
acquisitions that collect over time provide a continuum of outdoor recreation opportunities for
the various demographics are important. Expanding and balancing today's spectrum of
recreation opportunities is benefited by partnerships that avoids the duplication of services and
helps maintain low cost.
1.3 Sustainability
When acquiring lands it is fair and reasonable to consider the general costs for staff, materials,
equipment and security that will have to be provided in the Department's annual operations
budget to operate and maintain the property at a selected standard, both in the undeveloped
and developed states. Lacking an operational partnership of some sort, if the effect of operating
the individual parcel may be burdensome relative to the ability of the Department to maintain
existing level-of-service standards for the whole park system, the acquisition must be
questioned.
1.4 Specific Property Characteristics
An analysis of the unique park purposes possible for a potential acquisition is made by
assessing the cultural, ecological and recreation attributes of each parcel.
Ownership and Property Characteristics
Criteria Definition
Value Asking value and identification of circumstances (all cash,
life estate, reinvestment advantage, charitable remainder

Acquisition Procedures
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Village parkland acquisition operates under a legal framework, drawing from multiple
federal, state, and local sources. Generally, the Village Council is vested with the
authority to acquire land o
territorial borders. This authority is found in the Village Charter Sec. 5.01 (11).
STEPS
A parcel evaluation is triggered by either the determination by the Department that the
property is needed or by the owner's contact to see if the Department is interested in
buying the property. If the evaluation results in the decision to purchase, the acquisition
procedure is begun. The specific actions taken to acquire follow the legal requirements
specified above and generally accepted professional standards for public real estate
practices. The time periods shown are approximate and may be affected by the
circumstances in an individual transaction.
The Village representative contacts the owner to determine willingness to consider sale

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA PARKLAND PURCHASE PRIORITY POLICY
Seller Options
The Village of Tequesta offers land owners the opportunity to
contribute to the community while realizing the financial benefits of
their holdings.
Sellers have many options when selling or donating land to Village
of Tequesta for park purposes. Listed below are options available
for sellers to consider. The suitable choice will depend on individual
preferences and needs. Sellers will want to consult their tax advisor,
accountant or estate planner for advice on which option fits their
individual situation.
The Village can work with potential sellers and/or donors to find a
mechanism for property transfer that will serve the public interest
while accommodating the needs of the property owner.
The following options are not intended to be all-inclusive. These are
some options that may be available for potential sellers or donors of
property.
The Village can pay the full purchase price in cash. Few buyers can

the right to keep certain rights and interests in the property for the life
of the seller or another person. For example, it may allow an elderly
family member to remain in the family home. The seller still realizes
financial benefits from the property. An owner may also keep a life
estate in a property and make a gift of land to the Village that
qualifies for a charitable deduction.
Gifts to the Village are eligible for tax deductions in the same way as
