The electronic submittal of certified documents is provided for in Florida Statutes,the Florida Administrative Code, and the Electronic Signature Act of 1996. Utilizing the existing law, this memorandum outlines a combination of procedure and policy to facilitate the electronic submittal of said documents. The policies and procedures outlined herein convey the responsibilities of the County, as well as the surveyor, in submitting electronic documents to verify adequate integrity, security, confidentiality, and auditability (sic) of business transactions conducted using electronic commerce2, as well as ensure the documents contain the proper information, and verification of the electronic signature is provided for. Some of the policies outlined (i.e. "registration" of surveyor to participate) will not be mandatory, as acceptance of these documents is provided for by law, but will be encouraged to make certain the documents are received, reviewed, and approved with maximum efficiency, completion, and adherence to existing and new policy. For the purposes of this document, the definition of"electronic signature" will be consistent with The Electronic Signature Act of 1996 and is as follows, "any letters, characters, or symbols, manifested by electronic or similar means, executed or adopted by a party with an intent(sic)to authenticate a writing.„1,4 I Id.§4(4),1996 Fla.Laws at 838(codified at FLA STAT.§282.72(4)(Supp.1996)).

Prior to bringing the matters to the BCC, staff is seeking guidance and input from the Development Services Advisory Committee, I. Temporary directional signs for special events: During the Feb. 25, 2014 BCC meeting, the Board directed staff to address temporary event signage in the public rights-of-way. In response, Code Enforcement staff performed an intensive, County-wide sweep for illegal snipe signs. In addition, staff reviewed existing regulatory framework for issuance of permits for temporary signs in the public rights-of-way for special events. A. PROPOSED CHANGES: 1. Number/size: Updated temporary event ROW sign permit application to clarify that 2 large signs (max. 4' x 8') may be permitted in the ROW at the entrance to the event, and 6 additional smaller signs (max. 18" x 24") within a 5-mile radius of the event may be permitted for placement in the public right-of-way. 2. Appearance: The current form "recommends" blue signs with white lettering. The proposed new application states that this is a requirement. The prohibition on advertisements on these signs will stay in place. 3. Enforcement language: We have updated the enforcement language on the form to indicate that violations of the permit may subject the event sponsor to enforcement proceedings and related penalties. 4. Other notes: Other restrictions remain (e.g., signs cannot be too close together, cannot be in median, cannot be too close to road, etc.); TUP on-site signage unaffected. B. BCC APPROVALS NEEDED 1. Updated permit forms (application &permit): Consent agenda (ES only) 2. ROW Permitting fee schedule update: Consent agenda (ES and resolution) C. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed permit application 2. Updated Right-of-Way Permitting Fee Schedule (listing the$75 permit fee) II. Bonding in the public right-of-way: At the April 8, 2014 BCC meeting, the Board directed staff to address various aspects of permitting for improvements in public rights-of-way. Specifically, the Board directed staff to take appropriate action to address liability concerns for major projects for improvements in the public rights-of-way. Notably, the BCC-approved Right-of-Way Handbook already provides the "Transportation Services Division Administrator" with authority to require bonding of projects for improvements in the public rights-of-way. A. PROPOSED CHANGES: 1. Update Right-of-Way Handbook: A "cosmetic" update is needed, to reflect that the Growth Management Division Administrator (rather than Transportation Services Division Administrator) has authority to require posting of a performance bond. 2. Prepare/update standard bond forms: Existing forms (i.e., for bonds and CMA's, relating to subdivision improvements)can be used as a starting point, and would be updated consistent with subject matter(a model performance bond is attached), B. BCC APPROVALS NEEDED 1. Handbook update (cosmetic, to update Administrator authority to require bonds, and general cleanup): Consent agenda (ES and resolution) C. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed Right-of-Way Handbook updated language 2.

For ore information contact: Transportation Planning Department (239) 252-8192 I 2800 N. Horseshoe Drive, Naples, FL 34104 OVERVIEW OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COLLIER COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING DEPARTMENT Collier CountyTransportation Planning is a Department within the Growth Management Division.The Department plans for the current and future needs of transportation improvements to provide for the safe and convenient movement of people and goods throughout Collier County. For any planning or development application that involves new or altered development,the Transportation Planning Division is responsible for the review for land use changes, rezoning, and conditional uses of concurrency, access management,traffic impacts,roadway construction standards,pedestrian/bicycle facilities. ABOUT THIS GUIDEBOOK The Collier County Transportation Planning Department wants to provide the best possibleexperience during the review • process for each development project. The purpose of this "Transportation Planning Development Guidebook"is to provide development applicants and their professional practitioners with guidance for producing accurate and complete applications at the start of the project. This Guidebook highlights the primary transportation planning considerations for typical development projects, §' and how to address them. At the end of the Guidebook, you will find checklists that are designed to facilitate the practitioner's preparation and sufficiency review of the application prior to submittal. This is only a Guidebook,and not a legal document or ordinance. This document is a supplement to the County's Land Development Code, Administrative Code, and other standards, not a substitute. The considerations and checklists contained in this Guidebook are not all-inclusive and have only been provided to assist the Developer/Designer with the review and permitting process. All applicable Collier County and FDOT standards as appropriate should be followed. For more information,Transportation Planning Department resources and links to applicable Codes and , Manuals are available online at http://www.colliergov.net/index.aspx?page=123. The following pages are intended to provide you with an understanding of the primary topics that must be considered and addressed in most typical applications for development or redevelopment,followed by checklists for your use and submittal with your application. For further questions or information, please contact the Collier County Transportation Planning Department at(239) 252-8192. rb APPLICABILITY ° Generally, this Guidebook references they - > practices and processes that apply to planning -- '- '� - " -- and development applications for lands in the unincorporated area outside the City limits of Naples, Marco Island,and Everglades City. Occasionally, plans or development applications may cross jurisdictional I .y boundaries, or may be within a City but /g access a County-maintained road.Some of the guidance in this handbook may be applicable , t4,41 in such cases. iY • ffi3 What ou should know... ROADWAY CLASSIFICATIONS t Collier county's roadwaynetwork is com rised of State, County, Cit �,« Y p Y Y ��� , � �� i and privately maintained roadways. Roadways are generally classified ,,,,,,,:!),74,"- ' H a- s Arterial,Collector,or Local. ftp ��i D- uring your initial planning phase, it is important to identify the • jurisdiction governing the site's surrounding roadways because this • affects the permitting process and requirements. Also identify the .

ROADWAY CONCURRENCYi' Collier County's Concurrency Management System is intended to ensure that there is adequate roadway capacity available to serve current q.,4 ' f and future development. Transportation Concurrency is a measure of �� the capacity of the roadway system to support the adopted level of f ,,' 4,, service for vehicular traffic. Collier County evaluates concurrency at z- ,-1 j. ' time of application for site development plan, site development plan amendment, site improvement plan, and subdivision plat and plan ;4%y, � y• application. . Generally,concurrency is evaluated for each link significantly impacted , — ki ' by a proposed application. Collier County has two Transportation m.. , 4 ,c N , . _ l l',.''.1 Concurrency Management Areas (TCMAs) where growth related Wok impacts to transportation facilities are managed on an area-wide basis 'f4`A% rather than on a link-by-link basis. �� .; „,,,., 4 , Proportionate share payments may be used to mitigate impacts of a r - --am '' �4 '_ development on a deficient roadway link by more than a de minimis „„ i. r B` a- mount within a TCMA.

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY (TIS) ,4,••.: w The purpose of the traffic impact study (TIS) is to quantify the potential traffic impacts, 1 3S; evaluate compliance with the transportation concurrency requirements consistent with .. .. the comprehensive plan, and identify site-related operational deficiencies that impact ,, the health,safety and welfare of the traveling public.The TIS also analyzes access points, �i median openings and intersections significantly impacted by the development on the rok*' transportation system and identifies mitigation strategies to offset the impacts. v3;: Prior to conducting any study, practitioners are required to prepare a methodology ,-. ,y statement according to the Collier County 115 Guidelines and submit it for review and approval by County Transportation Planning Staff. The purpose of the methodology statement is to establish agreed upon methodologies and assumptions prior to the start of the study. A methodology meeting to review the statement is generally required. In such cases,a methodology meeting fee is required. TIS Guidelines are available at:http://www.colliergov.net/index.aspx?page=566 Please contact the Transportation Planning Department at(239)252-8192 to set up a methodology meeting. PROJECT CONNECTION POINTS A focal point of your site design should be the connection point(s) for the site. A connection is the driveway,street, P , ) P , roviding for the ri ht of h sical access to or from a ublic or private roadwaY Whether f I � your project is new development with new connection points or redevelopment, it is important to consider how the site connects to the public network with proper sight distances,pedestrian crossings,driveway throat length,lighting, and alternative interconnection opportunities. Depending on the roadway classification, number of lanes and traffic 'el„ , volumes, the site connection may require turn lanes. All new connection points and median modifications require a Collier County Right-of-Way permit and are subject the requirements of to Collier County Access Management , .-, Resolution 13-257,as amended. kiR Access Management °"" Access management is a set of techniques that state and local governments can use to control access to highways, major arterials,and other roadways.Access management includes several techniques that are designed to increase the capacity of these roads, manage congestion,and reduce crashes. The general separation requirements are provided in the table below.These minimum spacing standards may not be adequate if auxiliary lanes and storage is required.Single properties with frontages exceeding the minimum spacing criteria may not necessarily receive permits for the maximum number of possible connections. `.
