SUBJECT:   Quit Claim Deed - Dean Property

Early in the summer we received a request from the office of Mark Ebelini, Esquire, for a Quit Claim Deed to release a record County Line Drainage District ("District") interest in the property of his client, Keith and Stephanie Dean. The Deans hold property in the vicinity of the District. In the course of financing, the Deans were advised by their title company that there is a recorded instrument purporting to create a 60' wide easement running north - south through their parcel held by the District for the purpose of constructing a roadway. There is no roadway at that location. In reviewing title, the grantor of the described easement (South Florida Citrus Industries, Inc.) does not appear to have ever owned the Deans' property and the title search likewise finds no easement grant to South Florida Citrus Industries, Inc. by any prior owner. A grant to the District by South Florida Citrus Industries, Inc. of an easement over that property is, therefore, ineffective. We have independently reviewed the record and have come to the same conclusion. Notwithstanding, there is a document of record purporting to establish a road easement. Mr. Ebelini, on behalf of the Deans, has asked the District to execute a Quit Claim Deed to clear title to the property. As it does not appear that the District in fact holds an easement, there is no harm to the District to execute a Quit Claim Deed as requested.

I have attached a form of Quit Claim Deed that we have reviewed with Mr. Ebelini.

First American Title Insurance Company Attention: Claims National Intake Center 1 First American Way
Santa Ana CA 92707

Re: First American Title Policy No. 5011412-2690221 Named Insured:   Keith Dean and Stephanie Dean
Property:	22301 N. River Road, Alva FL 33920 Dear Sir or Madam:
This firm represents Keith Dean and Stephanie Dean, owners of the above-referenced property and holders of the above-referenced owners' title insurance policy issued by First American Title Insurance Company. This letter constitutes a notice of claim under the title insurance policy. A copy of the policy and the deed prepared by First American Title Insurance Company are attached (Exhibits A and B). Two copies of a 2022 aerial photograph of the property from the Lee County Property Appraiser's website (with the property outlined in blue) is attached (composite Exhibit C).

During an informal meeting with Lee County staff after their purchase to discuss securing a land use approval on the property, my clients were apprised of a 60-foot-wide easement running north to south through their entire parcel held by the "County Line Drainage District" "for the purpose of constructing a roadway." As seen from the aerial photographs, there is no such 1roadway constructed on the property. I have attached a copy of a County GIS map which shows the recorded roadway easement (Exhibit D). My clients asked a local surveyor to plot the roadway easement, and a copy of that plat is attached (Exhibit E).	'
My research has revealed there are three documents recorded in the Official Records of Lee County whif h pertain to these County Line Drainage District easements and the subject

i'

easement. The prst is a "Declaration of Easement" dated September 21, 1966, executed by South Flori4a Citrus Industries, Inc. ("South Florida Citrus") recorded in Official Records Book 379, Page 96 of the Public Records of Lee County, Florida. South Florida Citrus was a Fl rida corporation created on November 30, 1960, and voluntary dissolved on December 2 , 2014. In the Declaration, South Florida Citrus claimed it was "presently the owner or wi l shortly become the owner ofland situate in Sections 1, 2, 3, 12, 13 and 14, Township 4 South, Range 27 East.n The Declaration further states that South Florida Citrus "intends o convey lands or portions thereof to third parties and in order to provide access to third arties through the lands to be sold and conveyed, does hereby declare the road easements .. to be a right-of-way over and through the properties conveyed for the purpose of ingr ss, egress and drainage." The Declaration then purports to provide notice to "all persons 'fho may become owners of said property ... that a right of way has been declared." Ho"'ever, this document does not create an easement within Section 14 itself (where the subject property lies), but creates easements in Sections I, 12 and 13 to the east and north of Se¢tion 14 (Exhibit F).
i
Next is a document executed by South Florida Citrus on June 21, 1967, recorded in Official
Records Book 15, Page 108, Public Records of Lee County, Florida. In this document, South Florida Citrus, claiming to be ''the owner or the holder of an interest in the property described hereinafter, ''granted transferred and conveyed unto County Line Drainage District, a public corporation established pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 298, Florida Statutes, by decree of the Circuit Court, a right of way for the purpose of constructing and maintaining dikes, canals and roads over and across the property described ... and does stipulate that said easements shall exist perpetually in favor of said County Line Drainage District, its successors, heirs and assigns." This document does describe the 60-foot-wide roadway easement within the subject property, continuing to the sections north of the subject property. (Exhibit G).

Finally, there is another "Declaration of Easement" executed by South Florida Citrus on September 24, 1967, and recorded in Official Records Book 427, Page 606 in which South Florida Citrus, again claiming to be the "the owner of the land described in the Exhibit attached" dedicates "said lands described . . . to subsequent purchasers for purposes of ingress and egress," it being clearly understood that any contract or deed hereinafter created by South Florida Citrus Industries, Inc. shall be subject to this Declaration. The attached Exhibit conveys the same roadway easement for the benefit of subsequent purchasers (Exhibit H).

I have performed a chain oftitle search of my clients' property prior their ownership back to a 1944 deed. South Florida Citrus does not appear to have ever owned my clients'

First American Title Insurance Company April 1, 2022

property. nor was I ever able to find any easement grant to South Florida Citrus by any prior owner. (Exhibit I)

The County Line Drainage District is still in existence, and I have attached a recorded Interlocal Agreement dated August of 20IO which provides some background information. I am also providing a current copy of the County Line Drainage District map (composite Exhibit J) and information about the District. As you will note, the subject property is not in the County Line Drainage District boundary. Also, the property to the north, also not in the County Line Drainage District, is presently owned by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and has been owned by the State since a conveyance to the formal Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District in 1963. There is no road extending through the SFWMD property where the roadway easement purports to extend north of my clients' property.

We look fmward to First American Title Insurance Company's immediate action on this encumbrance, including either removal of the easement by a deed from the District, by a quiet title action, or payment for the substantial diminution in value of the property with this easement remaining.

Please contact me upon your receipt of this correspondence to confirm receipt of the claim, and to discuss how First American plans to resolve this matter. We hope we can be of assistance.

Very truly yours,

KNOTT EBELINI HART

Subject: Crews Bank Lines of Credit for ECDD and CLDD

Kathleen,

The line of credit for $100,000 with Crews Bank and Trust for ECDD and CLDD have matured. To get new lines of credit established, I need a resolution approved in the next meeting that sates something to the nature of:

They would like to re‐establish a line of credit in the amount of $100,00 with Crews Bank and Trust and list who the signers will be for the line of credit.

We also need an address for the actual place of business for each district. It does not necessarily need to be a mailing address, but where the actual business of each district takes place.

Once this is completed, I will work with Crews to get the paperwork completed. When I spoke with the bank, they were able to look back as far as 2015 and see that the line of credit has not been used since at least then. The question that I ask, is it necessary to reestablish these lines of credit.

Thank you.
