Public Speakers
April Olson—Conservancy regarding the proposed Clam Pass Boardwalk
expansion. She read into record:
"For the record,my name is April Olson. I am here on behalf of the Conservancy
of Southwest Florida and our over 6,000 supporting families. I thank you for
allowing me to speak regarding this issue. The Conservancy has been one of
many vocal opponents to the proposed boardwalk expansion, as we feel it is
unnecessary and incompatible with the ecological resources contained in the Clam
Pass Park. Therefore, we were very encouraged by staff reaching out to the
Conservancy to discuss scaling back park improvements and asking for the
Conservancy input. Your Parks and Recreation staff indicated to the Conservancy
that they believe there are several non-controversial, or at least less-controversial,
park improvements that they would like to pursue;
1. Electrical work at the concessionaire on the beach
2. Parking lot repaving and some redesign
3. Kayak launch
4. Removal of derelict structures,
The Conservancy believes that focusing on these issues is a much better approach
to take. However,we do want to make sure that the manner in which these issues
are pursued incorporates the necessary environmental parameters. Your staff has
indicated they welcome our input on this, and we appreciate that opportunity.
What we mean by incorporating the necessary environmental parameters would
be consideration such as the following:
Electrical—we wanted to make sure that no heavy equipment would be brought in
to work under the boardwalk.
Parking lot—we wanted to make sure there is no footprint expansion or expansion
of impervious area, or that storm water was going directly into the mangroves or
lake. We suggest the County could make improvements even above and beyond
what the State would require(BMPs, etc.) in the new parking lot design.
Kayak launch—The Conservancy is not opposed to the idea of a kayak launch,
but its placement is critical, as it cannot be sited where it would shade sea grasses.
Removal of derelict structures—any work plan for the removal of the structures
should not include heavy equipment, and tortoise burrows should be marked in
the areas of gopher tortoise habitat before the work commences.
4
January 21, 2015
These are not all of the issues that need to be considered,but this is meant to give
you an idea of the types of ecological considerations that would need to be a part
of the project design. Again, your staff has proactively approached the
Conservancy, asking for our input on these issues and we appreciate their
reaching out to us and their decision not to pursue the more controversial
boardwalk expansion. Thank you."

(CIE),which provides programs to ensure implementation;and the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element,which provides guidance for highest and best land uses.
Collier County Parks and Recreation Page 8
An Evaluation and Appraisal Report(EAR)is submitted to the State of Florida Department of
Community Affairs every five years to ensure that the goals,objectives,and policies in the Growth
Management Plan are meeting the County's needs.
Occasionally the Department makes updates to facility-specific level of service standards(LOSS)
based on trends in recreation, recreationally offerings community-wide,and community input.
The Department may consider establishing a LOSS for pickle-ball courts,as this activity has been
in high demand from the community. Such changes in LOSS are considered annually as part of
the AUIR process.
The Department maintains a complete inventory of recreation programs and services and updates
it annually. Changes are made to programs offered based on participant feedback,market
research, trends in recreation, demographic shifts, and analysis of community-wide recreation
opportunities.

constraints rather than react to them. This plan will be reviewed and updated as needed by
department management staff annually in October.
