Letourneau with the Collier County Code Enforcement Department notes that we
had around 100 dock address cases and we achieved 100% compliance on
those. We had around 10 cases involving exotic vegetation encroaching over the
canal and all these were abated by either total removal or cutting back from the
canal. This area has a new supervisor, Ktichell Snow and a new investigator,
Shirley Garcia.
2. Haldeman's Landing boat dock extension update: At a CCPC hearing over the
summer, the CCPC had denied an application for a boat dock extension and the
petitioner submitted an appeal to the BCC. On October 28, 2014, the BCC
discussed the appeal submitted by the developer for this project and remanded it
back to the Hearing Examiner. The hearing date is November 20, 2014. The
CRA will email those on our email recipients list with the information.

is located just south of the old CRA offices and is vacant.

Commissioners) and changes were requested. At this time, the contract has
been denied but will be reheard at the next meeting on November 18, 2014.
7. CRA Disaster Recovery Initiative Grant Projects: The CRA has been awarded
over$200,000 to improve poor stormwater drainage conditions on Karen Drive

be complete in time for the next rainy season (summer 2015).
