Committee did not vote to approve the 5-15-08 Sub-committee meeting minutes since none

the efforts to correctly define the building footprint and the more restrictive flood zone within
that footprint using the County's GIS. There was also a discussion on map accuracy. Duke
Vasey motioned to have the Chairman write a letter to the Property Appraiser to see if there
is any problem to placing the GIS-generated FEMA floodplain information on his web site.
The motion passed unanimously. Jim Turner offered to get the draft letter started. Staff is to
bring more information back at the next meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
1. Beach vegetation planting program and dune repair for 2008 Gary McAlpin discussed the
ongoing re-vegetation program primarily involved in planting of sea oats. Their emphasis is
to keep the dunes intact. The program started in 2005 with dune toe repair work. Duke
Vasey asked what was the baseline timeframe used for the dune restoration program to which
Mr. McAlpin replied that the base location of the dunes in 2005 was used as the starting point
for the program. The dune re-vegetation program started in 2006. They currently expend
$75,000 per year of Tourist Development Council funds on the re-vegetation program. The
plantings are spaced on 12"centers to develop a strong dune system. The program was
originally developed for beach preservation/renourishment, and not for flood prevention
purposes, although the two issues are related.
2. 2007 Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report—Robert Wiley briefly presented the
progress report proposed for submittal to the Board of County Commissioners on 7-22-08.
The report addresses the applicable goals and objectives contained in the Hazard Mitigation
Plan, and how well the action items from last year were accomplished. Phil Brougham
requested that we develop a flow chart for the Floodplain Management Plan action items. He
agreed to meet with Robert Wiley to develop the flow chart,including how information goes
before the Development Services Advisory Committee and the Collier County Planning
Commission. Duke Vasey motioned to recommend approval of the plan to the Board of
County Commissioners,Phil Brougham requested that the 2008 action plan items not be
colorized in the fmal document, and the motion was approved on an 11-1 vote.
3. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance amendments—Robert Wiley distributed copies of the
proposed ordinance which is basically a new document that updates the current ordinance
and adds proposed higher regulatory standards. Duke Vasey motioned to accept the
document just to get the discussion started. There was a lengthy discussion on the proposed
cumulative substantial improvement regulatory standard. Questions were raised about
calculating the value of a structure,permit requirements and fees for demolition and/or
elevating a structure to comply with current FEMA flood elevations, grants available through
FEMA,providing exclusions for certain improvements, addressing code violations,and
remediation. Pierre Bruno motioned to continue discussion on the item until the next
meeting, and the motion passed 7-1
4. Public Comments—Gary McAlpin and Kevin Dugan were members of the public in
attendance, and neither had any comment at this time.
