EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REQUEST DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIISSIONF.RS RELATIVE TO APPLYING
FOR A PERMIT FROM THE STATE FOR REMOVAL OF VEGETATION AT TIGERT iIL BEACH
Objective: To obtain direction from the Board of County Commissioners
relative to a permit application for removal of vegetation at Tigertail Beach.
Considerations: On April 26, 1990, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
meet in special session to discuss alternatives for removal of vegetation at
Tigertail Beach. At prior meetings residents of Marco Island approached the
Parks arra Recreation Advisory Board for solutions to the regrowth of
vegetation at Tigertail Beach. PARAB requested a survey be performed of
existing conditions at the beach prior to making any recommendation to apply
for a permit to remove vegetation. The survey has been completed and is
attached for your review. Results of the survey were presented to PARAB at
the April 26th, 1990, meeting.
Two alternatives were presented for removal of the vegetation project; they
are as follows:
1. Cleaning pockets of vegetation totaling 50,000 square feet. This is
clearing of several semi-circular areas of vegetation near the mean high water
line, basically seaward of the dune crossovers and in heavily used areas by
beach patrons.
2. Cleaning of vegetation from mean high water line to a point 25' seaward of
the back dune vegetation line (shown on the April 1990 survey) . This is an
area of approximately 2,500 linear feet x 150' or approximately 375,000 square
feet. With this option, the dune crossovers would be extended 25' seaward.
Both these options may require the County to perform replanting of beach
vegetation in other areas of the beach. Also, a separate permit for raking of
the beach will have to be applied for to keep the areas clear of any regrowth
of vegetation.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended that a permit application
be submitted to the State with alternative # by a to vote.
Fiscal Impact: Cost of alternative #1 is approximately $3,000. Cost of
alternative #2 is approximately $12,000. These estimates are based on using
County staff to perform the work. Fluids have not been budgeted in FY 1989/90.
Growth Management: None

Recommendation: That the Board of Casty Commissioners provide direction
relative to submitting a permit to the State for removal of vegetation at
Tigertail Beach.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 24 April 1990
TO: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
FROM: Kevin O'Donnell, Public Services Administrators,
RE: Beach Parking Permit z
Periodically my office, and I know the Parks and Recreation
Department, receives inquiries from citizens about the possibility
of obtaining for a fee a annual County beach parking permit to be
accepted in lieu of the daily $1. 00 per vehicle charge. Due to
the various past problems we have had with any type of permit
4011) system, as previously discussed with this Board, staff has shyed
away from any type of permit concept.
However, this office is getting continual inquiries, particularly
in light of the recent publicity and action by PARAB in regards to
the dollar ($1. 00) charge. Therefore; since this is a new angle
at which to view the older problem of beach parking, I am going to
suggest that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board consider
whether or not you wish to have staff further explore this
possibility. This can be taken up at your May meeting.
Since I believe we could probably handle this item initially
through a short discussion process I am not going to have staff
prepare any extensive research on the matter.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact this office.

TO: Barbara Cacchione, Chief of Long Range Planning

ti FROM: Kevin O'Donnell, Public Services Administrator ,O
RE: Comment/Immokalee Comprehensive Plan
As a follow-up to our previous discussions I have had the
opportunity to review for the first time the recreation component
of the Immokalee Comprehensive Plan.
As I indicated, my major concern is under Policy V, 1. 2, dealing
4:1) with "neighborhood parks" .
Currently there is no standard in the Growth Management Plan of
the Parks and Recreation Element for neighborhood parks. That was
intentional since it was decided during the extensive review
process that the County Parks and Recreation Department would no
longer be active in the neighborhood park business, instead
concentrate its efforts in Community and Regional Parks. We would
retain the existing neighborhood parks that the County has and
will continue to program activities there; however, we would
simply not acquire any new ones.
Policy V, 1.2 states that neighborhood parks shall be in
designated neighborhood centers wherever feasible and shall be
accomplished by such methods, including "the County purchase of
land" . That would seem to put us on a collision course with what
the County Growth Management Plan specifies. Furthermore, I am
not sure of where the money would come from for such an expansion
of the "neighborhood park" because the impact fees that are being
collected for the Immokalee Community Park District can only be
spent for the Community Park facilities. However; many of the
facilities that one finds in a neighborhood park the County has
been placing in its Community Parks which is part of the reason
why we did not feel the public need to maintain a presence in the
neighborhood park business.
Policy V, 1. 1. Conceptually I agree that such a survey should be
done, particularly since the last one was probably done in the
•
CI)
1980-81 area when the master planning of the Community Parks was
undertaken. My question is, who in Collier County shall undertake
it. I particularly feel since the Public Services Division with
its Parks and Recreation Department has an Advisory Board that if
they are not going to be responsible for the surveying work itself
they need to play a major role in its formulation.
Currently as I have advised you the County and the School District
have already entered into an inter-local agreement that allows the
Parks and Recreation Department to use recreation facilities on
school sites once scheduling conflicts have been resolved with the
school and the County undertakes the appropriate maintenance of
such facilities.
. _ Again, with the advent of our Community Parks system that the
County owns, the bulk of our efforts have been over the last three
(3) years to program, fund and make capital expenditures in the
Community Park system. Although the relationship and utilization
of School owned facilities will undoubtedly always be there it is
being down played over that last few years, simply to afford the
• Deparment the ability to catch up with its facilities on its own
land.
I would also like to advise you that the Board of County
® Commissioners had approved a three (3) year rehabilitation program
to the Immokalee Middle School which the County is in the process
of acquiring from the School District in exchange for the Heath
Property. This would involve about $600, 000 in County funds that
would enhance the overall recreational facilities in the
Immokalee area above and beyond what was called for in the Growth
Management Plan, which is obviously the current level of service
standard the Department is adhereing to. This particular project
has been delayed due to the problems the School District has run
into in the financing of its new construction projects.
From an operational perspective small, little neighborhood sites
are not cost effective for the Department to maintain. Within the
Immokalee area there is a maintenance staff of six individuals,
.
inclusive of the Field Supervisor. The staff is responsible for
55. 5 acres of park property on seven (7) sites and seven (7) acres
of non-park County property on four (4) sites. The operational
expenses associated with maintaining a number of small
neighborhood park sites, particularly in areas with large green
areas requiring lawn mowing and landscaping, for instance, could
not be accomplished under the existing monetary and staffing
allocations for the area.
If there could be a way to take credit for that acreage into a
Community Park setting then perhaps impact fee money could be used
for some of those facilities, although I see that as a difficult
task because, in essence, we would be asking the Attorney's Office
to legally change the definition of a "neighborhood park" into a
riimum
CO
"community park" . It is my understanding that you were going to
contact the County Attorney's Office for clarification of this
matter.
The other goals and objectives within the element are compatible
with what the Department is currently providing and what is being
called for in the Growth Management Plan.
Should you have any further questions in this regard, feel free to
contact my office.

RECREATION
GOAL V:
Provide ample high quality and diverse recreational opportunities for all
Immokalee citizens in a cost efficient manner.
OBJECTIVE V 1 :
Collier County shall implement a park development program that results in a
system of parks and facilities convenient to all Immokalee residents, reflect
their recreational preference and offer recreational opportunities to all age
groups.
Policy V 1 . 1 :
By 1992, Collier County shall survey residents to assist in the development of
a recreation program that meets the needs and characteristics of the Immokalee
population.
Policy V 1 .2:
Have neighborhood parks sited in the designated neighborhood centers, whenever
feasible. This shall be accomplished through methods including the County
Adr
purchase of land, private sector land donations, or through an interlocal
agreement between Collier County and the. Collier County School Board.
TRANSPORTATION
GOAL VI:
The future land use pattern shall be supported by a road network that maintains
Immokalee's small-town character, yet achieves efficient traffic movement.
OBJECTIVE VI 1: The County shall provide for the safe and convenient movement
of pedestrians, motorized and non-motorized vehicles.
Policy VI 1.1 :
The County shall complete a transportation study for the Immokalee Urban
Designated Area by December 1992. Once completed and accepted by the Board of
County Commissioners, the Immokalee Master Plan shall be amended to incorporate
the transportation study. The study will review existing roadway conditions,
identify deficiencies and make recommendations considering all of the following:
