Section 32, Township 46 South,Range 29 East
Mr. Bishof stated he has spoken with a consultant on the project.
The presenters were sworn in.
Heidi Williams of Q. Grady Minor and Assoc. noted that this application is a
continuation from the April 2, 2008 meeting. She provided a brief review of the
proposal noting the unresolved issue was the status of the determination of native
vegetation. Staff has visited the site and a resolution has been reached and a
memorandum provided to the Council members from Susan Mason to the
Environmental Advisory Council dated 4/21/2008 which outlines the agreement.
A small portion of the vegetation has been considered native vegetation and Staff
has allowed this area to be mitigated offsite and the PUD documents have been
revised accordingly.
2
May 7, 2008
Marco Espinar stated that the Petitioner is in the process of permitting the
Project with the South Florida Water Management District.
Mr. Jacobsen requested a list of the names of the owners, or Board of Directors
of the Petitioner Corporations(Florida Non Profit Services, Inc and the
Empowerment Alliance of Southwest Florida Community Development
Corporation).
Heidi Williams stated a written list of the Directors of the Florida Non Profit
Services, Inc. has been supplied to the Council.
Dottie Cook of the Empowerment Alliance stated the Board Members from
Immokalee are Ski Olesky, Silvia Puente and Marie Adame, and from Hendry
County, Frederick Small, Nardina Simmons, Roberta Silva and Genevia Boyd.
Mr. Penniman noted there were no Staff comments from Environmental Impact
Statement#3.
Susan Mason, Principal Environmental Specialist stated that Claudia
Piotrowicz is not present today as she is no longer employed by the County;
however, Claudia did review EIS #3, and found it not to be significantly different
from EIS #2. Based on this review, there was no updated Staff Report prepared.
A memorandum from her, (Susan Mason) to the Environmental Council dated
4/21/2008 was prepared based on meetings with the applicant which outlines the
recommendations by Staff.
She stated Staff recommends approval of PUDZ -- 2007 -12581 Esperanza Plaza
PUDZ based on the following recommendations provided in the memorandum:
A. A Florida Black Bear management plan shall be provided to the County
Manager or Designee during the SDP or plat review process.
B. The site currently contains +/- 1.26 acres of native vegetation (0.52 +/- acres
of upland and +/- 0.73 acres of wetland native vegetation onsite); a minimum
of 25%, 0.32 acres, must be preserved. For the 0.13 acre portion of the upland
vegetation, the applicant will donate an equivalent off-site preserve to be
accepted by public agency or contribute a monetary payment to Conservation
Collier equivalent to the average per-acre value found in an appraisal of the
entire site, multiplied by the number of acres to be preserved off-site, plus 15
percent of that amount as an endowment for management of off-site land. The
appraisal shall be based on the fair market value of the land as if the desired
zoning is in place. Twenty-five percent of the 0.73 acres wetland native
vegetation will be preserved and appropriately managed off site at an
approved mitigation bank. All preservation must be accomplished prior to
SDP/PPL approval. This off-site preservation may be utilized as part of the
required off-site mitigation as part of the Environment Resource Permit.
3
May 7, 2008
C. The subject property was used for agricultural purposes and incurred clearing
for which no permit can be located; in order for clearing to be considered
legal and re-creation of vegetation removed not be required an after-the-fact
clearing fee will be paid for the clearing of approximately 23.6 acres prior to
approval for the SDP or PPL relevant acreage.
Heidi Williams noted that the Petitioner is in agreement with these stipulations.
Mr. Sorrell moved to approve the Petition (Planned Unit Development Rezone
No. PUDZ-2007-AR-1251 -Esperanza Plaza PUDZ) subject to the Staff
stipulations. Second by Mr. Bishof. Carried unanimously 8-0.
B. Rezone No. RZ-2007-AR-12044 (per CCPC Chair)
Immokalee LLC RZ
Section 9, Township 47 South,Range 29 East
The presenters were sworn in.
Sean Malarkey of Coastal Engineering Consultant, Inc. requested a
continuance of this item until later in the meeting.
Mr. Jacobsen moved to revise the agenda to hear item VI. C before VI. B.
Second by Mr. Lehmann. Carried unanimously 8-0.
C. Conditional Use No. CU-2006-AR-10805
Hogan Island Quarry CU
Sections 9,10,15,16,21, & 22,Township 47 South, Range 28 East
Mr. Penniman disclosed that he spoke with Nicole Ryan regarding the project
and had an incidental conversation with Tom Jones of Barron Collier Companies
where this issue did not come up.
The presenters were sworn in.
John Passidomo of Cheffy,Passidomo, Wilson and Johnson, LLP
representing the Petitioner provided an overview of the project noting that the
applicant is Barron Collier Companies and Rinker Materials of Florida, Inc. The
Petition is for a Conditional Use Permit for an earth mining operation and related
processing of materials to be located 3/4 miles north of the Immokalee Road, Oil
Well Grade Road intersection. It is a 967 acre parcel located in the Rural Land
Steward ship Area. He noted that the lack of local supply of Florida Department
of Transportation(FDOT) grade aggregate rock in the region is placing economic
and environmental strains on construction of roadways within the region. He
provided excerpts from the FDOT Strategic Aggregate Review Task Force study
(Final Report) which reports that the supply is not adequate to meet the required
4
May 7, 2008
demand in the region. He also provided a map of FDOT approved borrow pits in
Collier County.
Mr. Penniman requested clarification if the document Mr. Passidomo was citing
is the Strategic Aggregate Review Task Force Final Report provided to the
Governor, President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives on February 1, 2008; if so, is under the impression that the report
indicated that there is sufficient aggregate supply available in the State of Florida
and the FDOT could not identify a deficit.
Mr. Passidomo noted that the findings in this report indicate that if the rock is
located 35 miles from the construction site, the related transportation costs are 7
times the costs of the aggregate.
Mr. Penniman noted that the issue is a matter of economic costs of the rock,not
supply.
Mr. Bishof requested a map of FDOT approved borrow pits in Lee County as
there may be pits closer to 1-75 than the one proposed herein.
Tracy Bryant, Cemex Community Relations Manager noted there were several
consensus and non-census findings that are contained in the FDOT Strategic
Aggregate Review Task Force Final Report. The findings were that the adequate
supply could not be identified at this point in time and the projection by FDOT for
2025 is that demand will outweigh supply for road construction projects currently
on the books. Further, identifying new sources is important as the permitting
process takes 5-7 years.
Mr. Penniman noted he is under the impression the Task Force has not "nailed
down" a specific deficit and in its conclusion did not feel there was a deficit in the
supply of aggregate.
Tracy Bryant stated that they found there was no deficit for current demands,
however there will be a deficit for future demands. She will provide the exact
document to the Council.
Mr. Passidomo continued his overview noting that a portion of the land is
currently in agricultural use which will remain active during and after the
excavation. The excavation area is approximately 700 acres and is located in the
Open Lands(lands of lower natural resource quality) of the Rural Lands
Stewardship Area and adjacent to Habitat Stewardship Areas. The project is
located approximately 2.5 miles from Corkscrew Sanctuary. He noted that within
a 2 mile circle of the site, there are approximately 6 residences.
He presented a document entitled "Hogan Quarry Stipulations" and attached
"Hogan Quarry Dust Control Plan"which are new voluntary stipulations provided
from the applicant.
5
May 7, 2008
Dr. Hushon noted that these stipulations contained differences from the original
submittal of the Petition(i.e. "There will be no onsite asphalt batch plant" as
originally proposed, etc.).
The following was noted regarding the voluntary stipulations:
• Regarding discontinuing of wells within the excavation area the stipulation
should state "Each well within the excavation area will be plugged pursuant
to state regulations below the excavation level prior to excavation in the
immediate area. "
• Regarding Blasting Activities, It should state "Blasting shall be limited to 1
charge per day, but no more than an average of 2 to 3 charges per week".
The Council noted that Staff should be provided a copy of the document "Hogan
Quarry Stipulations and attached "Hogan Quarry Dust Control Plan" for review
and comment.
Dr. Hushon noted that the project is in very close proximity to Corkscrew
Sanctuary for Wildlife Habitat Purposes, and recommended additional littoral
zones to accommodate wildlife habitat, especially wading birds.
Jeff Wright,Assistant County Attorney addressed the scope of Environmental
Advisory Council in the review process noting that this is the Conditional Use
Petition for a Change of Use phase of the process. At a later date, there will be an
Excavation Permit request which will also require approval by the Environmental
Advisory Council,
Emilio J. Robau, P.E. of RWA, Inc. provided a review of the technical aspects
of the application noting the following:
• There will be 700 acres of lakes upon completion of the excavation
• The existing operation is agricultural use, some of which will remain during
and after the mining
• The agricultural uses are bermed and isolated with the current water
discharged off site via a system of pumps
• The construction of the lakes will be coordinated with the agricultural uses
• There will be a tailings pond for processing of the rock
• There will no dewatering for excavation purposes
• Borings have been completed on the site determining the confining layer as
well as locations and depths of the rock
• During the mining activity, the excavation lakes will be interconnected, but
isolated from off site discharges to prevent sediments from exiting them
• Upon completion of the mining and the sediment settles in the lake,the
restoration plan will provide for a return to pre-agricultural historic
discharges and those necessary for the enhancement of the mitigation areas
• There are 5 isolated wetlands currently on site
6
May 7, 2008
Tim Hall of Turrell, Hall and Assoc. noted the 5 on-site isolated wetlands on
site are not jurisdictional wetlands; however the project will require Army Corp of
Engineers review because of the off-site mitigation proposed.
Tracy Bryant, Cemex Community Relations Manager provided the findings
from FDOT Strategic Aggregate Review Task Force and noted the following
consensus recommendations contained in the Final Report in the area of Issue#1,
Construction Aggregate Materials Management:
• An abundant supply of construction aggregate materials is critical to the
economy of the State
• Florida lacks a short or long term comprehensive vision which addresses
demand and supply(i.e. where are the deposit reserves and where will these
materials be needed as the State continues to grow)
• Develop the Strategic Aggregate Resource Assessment funded jointly by
the FDOT and Industry
• Encourage the use of recycled and reused construction aggregate materials
• Investigate and encourage the use of alternative materials substitution for
construction aggregate materials
• State and local governments should protect existing mines from the
incompatible land uses and in consideration of the infrastructure investment
associated with the plan for expansion
Mr. Penniman noted that the conclusion of the Task Force was for the State to
begin an assessment of the supply. The conclusions contained no contradiction to
assertion that there is adequate aggregate available at the current time, and
understood this was one of their findings.
Tracy Bryant noted this is a review of the findings and it was not one of the
findings that there is adequate aggregate supply currently existing.
Further there are only 3 certified FDOT sources in Collier County and the Lee
County reserves have been exhausted.
Mr. Penniman noted he would find a copy the document to make sure that he
and Tracy Bryant are reviewing the same document.
Tim Hall of Turrell Hall and Associates continued the presentation in the area
of the Environmental aspects noting the following:
• The site has 27 acres classified as native vegetation under the County
definition
• There are 11 acres of wetlands in 5 isolated areas jurisdictional according
to the State regulations, not Federal regulations. The Army Corp Public
notice has been issued
• All 11 acres of the wetlands are impacted and the project proposes
mitigation through enhancement of existing off site wetland areas and
creation of new wetland areas
7
May 7, 2008
• No telemetry documentation of Black Bear and Florida Panther on the
site, further, there is no physical evidence of Panthers utilizing the site,
however there may be Panther in the area
• Management plans for a myriad of species is being developed at this time
• Representatives of the Audubon society have reviewed the site and
recommended a concentration of the littoral areas as opposed to spreading
them throughout the site
• In relation to previously approved projects, the project exceeds the
amount of linear footage of littoral area created around the shoreline
Mr. Lehmann asked if there are any studies on the effects of blasting on Panther
Activity.
Tim Hall is not aware of any of these types of studies; however there have been
studies regarding gunfire effects on the Panther indicating that they move off the
tramways or roadways, however stay in the area. Further, thunderstorms that
occur in the Region may startle the Panthers more than blasting.
Break- 10:33AM
Re-convene- 10:48AM
Mr. Penniman stated that due to technical issues, he cannot obtain an immediate
copy of the FDOT Strategic Aggregate Review Task Force findings and he will
address the issue of supply and demand of aggregate construction materials at the
Planning Commission hearing.
John Passidomo submitted a copy of the Department of Army Corp of Engineers
Public Notice for Permit Application No. SAJ-2008-6l 5-ACR for the record.
Mark Stevens, registered Geologist and Engineer in the State of Florida
continued the presentation providing an overview on the soil borings noting the
following:
• 40 borings were conducted on the site to define the location of the confining
layer as well as locations of the rock (limestone)
• The confining layer of clay will not be disturbed with a portion of limestone
to remain on top of the confining layer
• The excavation depths will be refined as the excavation process proceeds
• The existing water table level will not be altered significantly during the
operation of mining, upon completion of the mining the water table will
return to its historic state
• The depths of the excavations on site may vary depending on the depths of
the confining layer, however the excavations will be no deeper than 40 feet
It was noted that the project will excavate approximately 44.5 million cubic yards
of material.
8
May 7, 2008
Jeff Rosenfeld,Sr. Hydrologist for MacVicar, Federico & Lamb, Inc.
continued the presentation regarding hydrology noting the following:
• The limestone is not characterized as highly permeable
• No dewatering is proposed in conjunction with the mining activity
• With regard to the excavation activity there will be 2 feet less drawdown's
on the wetlands in relation to the current agricultural activity
Dr. Williams asked for clarification on the impacts on wildlife with a 24 hour
operation in relation to lights and noise.
Tim Hall stated the operations area has been separated as much as possible from
Corkscrew Sanctuary and Camp Keais Strand. The 24 hour operation will require
the various Agencies to address light and noise impacts.
It was noted that the application today is for a change of land use and the
Petitioner will return with a future excavation permit request and more specific
details of the design will be available at that time including the reclamation plan.
Susan Mason, Sr. Environmental Specialist stated that the document "Hogan
Quarry Stipulations" and attached"Hogan Quarry Dust Control Plan"were
provided today and recommended any vote based on this document be postponed
until Staff has adequate time to review the document. She noted that any
stipulations imposed by the Council above and beyond normal Staff
recommendations should be included in the motion for enforcement purposes.
Willie Brown, Principal Planner stated that he is the project coordinator for the
Petition and the Staff report was based on the applicants Environmental Impact
Statement and application. The current application will need to be revised to
provide for elimination of the asphalt batch plant. He has not had a chance to
review the "Hogan Quarry Stipulation and attached Hogan Quarry Dust Control
Plan."
John Passidomo stated that the Petitioner has no objections to any of the
recommendations in the Staff Report, the Stipulations submitted by the Petitioner
are voluntary and in addition to the Staff recommendations. The Petitioner would
withdraw the voluntary stipulations if necessary for an approval today.
Speakers
Nicole Ryan of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida noting that the process
allows stipulations to be placed on the approval and recommends:
• A 300 foot buffer adjacent to all Habitat Stewardship Areas with no truck
traffic allowed within the buffer
• A daytime only operation
• The Petitioner provide funds for a wildlife crossing
9
May 7, 2008
John Passidomo stated that the Environmental Advisory Council should adopt
any stipulations they feel necessary. Further, in some areas with the littoral shelf,
the effective buffer will be approximately 600 feet; lighting and noise may be
addressed at the excavation permit request level; and if the Petitioner is creating
any wildlife impacts, they would be willing to pay their fair share for a wildlife
crossing.
A discussion ensued regarding the feasibility of allowing operation of the mine at
night, but limiting the time trucks may enter and/or exit the site to assist in
protecting wildlife on the roadway.
Tim Hall stated that alternative technologies are being reviewed(vehicle warning
systems for wildlife, etc.)
The Council requested, if possible,Mr. Hall provide any information regarding
these types of technologies, etc.) for their information.
Dr. Williams welcomed the additional stipulations provided by the Petitioner as
they help to address many questions regarding the operation.
Mr.Jacobsen moved to formulate wording of a motion to address potential
permit conditions and areas of concern.
A lengthy discussion occurred between the Council members, Staff and the
Petitioners representatives regarding potential wording of an approval, the
concept of outlining stipulations and concerns, the possible inclusion of the
additional stipulations submitted by the Petitioner today without Staff review, the
formality of a vote on a current application versus the requirement of submitting a
revised application, etc.
Mr. Penniman stated he was not in favor of a motion of this format with the
applicant submitting last minute stipulations without review by Staff. He noted
the Esperanza Petition was continued for 30 days pending Staff Review of last
minute submitted information (EIS #3). He noted the stipulations proposed by the
Petitioner are favorable; however it is a procedural issue for the Environmental
Advisory Council.
Willie Brown, Principal Planner stated that the Petitioner will be required to
submit a revised application reflecting the elimination of the asphalt batch plant.
John Passidomo noted that the issues addressed in the voluntary stipulations
would have been raised at the hearing today; the stipulations are an attempt to
address these issues in advance of questions that may have been posed by Council
members.
Following the discussion Mr. Jacobsen clarified the motion to the following.
10
May 7, 2008
Mr. Jacobsen moved to approve the current application (Conditional Use No. CU-
2006-AR-10805-Hogan Island Quarry CU) subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant adhere to the 4 Recommendations contained in the Staff Report
(Environmental Advisory Council Staff Report, Meeting of May 7, 2008, Page
11 of 13)
2. Elimination of the proposed Asphalt Batch Plant
3. That additional littoral shelves be placed along the lake shoreline adjacent to
OM#1 and#2 in addition to the 2 littoral shelves proposed.
4. Each well within the excavation area be plugged(below the excavation level
prior to excavation in the immediate area)
5. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service approve the project in accordance
with Section 7 or Section 10 prior to issuance of the mining permit by the
County.
In addition, the Environmental Advisory Council has concerns regarding the
following:
1. The scope of a 24 hour operation in relation to noise and lighting impacts
2. Traffic impacts
3. Possible funding of a wildlife crossing
4. Consideration of providing a 300 foot buffer adjacent to all Habitat
Stewardship Areas
Further, the Environmental Advisory Council recognizes the Petitioners voluntary
commitment to abide by the supplementary "Hogan Quarry Stipulations"submitted
by the Petitioner to the Council today.
Second by Dr. Williams. Motion carried 7-yes— 1 no. Mr. Penniman voted no.
Break- 12:20PM
Re-convene— 1:05PM
Mr. Penniman voiced concern over the long term implications of allowing applicants
to negotiate conditions during the deliberations of a motion amongst the Council
members.
Further, he was informed by a Staff member(Barbara Burgeson) that there is a rule
that if information is submitted by an Applicant that has not been reviewed by the
Staff,the item is to be postponed until Staff review.
He recommended that an item be placed on the next agenda to discuss what will be
accepted for late submitted documents in future hearings.
Summer Brown-Araque, Sr. Environmental Specialist stated the issue will be
placed on the next agenda.

(Continuation)
The presenters were sworn in.
Sean Malarkey of Coastal Engineering Consultant, Inc. provided a brief
overview of the project indicating the property is 9.33 acres located on the corner
of County Road 846 and School Road. It did not require previous EAC review
for a re-zone as the parcel is less than 10 acres. It was reviewed by the Planning
Commission and they referred it to the Environmental Advisory Council for
review based on the proximity of wetlands in the Lake Trafford area and Camp
Keais Strand and there was no concept plan for a preserve. He noted the
following:
• The preserve is now shown on the plans
• The zoning change is for residential multi-family use with a maximum
density of 15 units per acre
• 3.14 acres of the site is wetland located with the preserve to be located on
the southern portion of the property,the wetland in the northern portion
will be mitigated
• The project proposes 140 residential units in a 3 story building
Tammy Lyday, Sr. Biologist of Earth Balance provided an overview on the
Environmental aspects of the application noting the following:
• There is no evidence of listed species on site
• There is a couple of listed plant species scattered throughout the site
located in the preserve area
• The wetlands are Army Corp jurisdictional
• The nearest Panther telemetry data observations are 2 miles away
It was noted that the project lies on the northern fringe of one of the only areas
available for east/west Panther movement between the Okaloacoochee and Camp
Keais Sloughs.
Susan Mason stated that the application was referred to the Environmental
Advisory Council for review as the Planning Commission received the submittal
with no site plan, and there are wetlands of concern in the area and the Planning
Commission wanted to ensure preserve requirements were met, etc.
It has now been determined those wetlands are significantly away from the
property.
Sean Malarkey stated the Petitioner agrees with the recommendations contained
in the Staff Report.
Dr. Hushon moved to accept the Petition (Rezone No. RZ-2007-AR-12044,
Immokalee LLC RZ) as presented. Second by Mr. Jacobsen. Carried
unanimously 8-0.

A. Update members on projects
It was noted that Brooks Village will need to obtain an After-the-Fact Clearing
Permit. A complying applicant(violator) is required to pay 2 times the original
fee. If the violation is appealed to the Special Magistrate and it is upheld, the fee
is 4 times the original fee.
It was noted that the Rural Lands Stewardship Review Committee Review has
been extended 6 months.
It was noted the December 3rd, 2008 meeting will be held on Horseshoe Drive.
Chairman Hughes requested Staff provide new member Paul Lehmann with any
necessary maps.

Dr. Hushon noted that the Land Development Code Amendments will be reviewed at
the next meeting. Also, the Habitat Conservation Plan Advisory Committee
continues to move forward.
X. Staff Comments
None
XL Council Member Comments
Mr. Jacobsen noted an error in an April 22, 2008 Naples Daily News article which
stated the Environmental Advisory Council approved the Cape Romano Shoals Sand
Source Study. It was noted the EAC did not review this proposal.
Chairman Hughes recommended planning begin in the area of risk assessment for
the coastal areas in relation to (sea level) elevations of developments. It was noted
that some of these issues may be addressed in the new proposed flood zoning.
Chairman Hughes also stated as previously requested by the Environmental
Advisory Council, he sent a letter to the Board of County Commissioners regarding
reviewing various projects in the Rural Lands Stewardship Receiving Area.
The Council requested Jeff Wright, Assistant County Attorney provide an opinion if
County projects are exempt from Environmental Impact Statements and subsequent
reviews.
13
May 7, 2008
A discussion ensued regarding the format for the negotiation of permit conditions and
subsequent approvals or denials.
Jeff Wright, Assistant County Attorney re-iterated his recommendation from
previous meetings, that the Environmental Advisory Council link any denials to
specific provisions of the Land Development Code. He noted the process does allow
for a certain amount of permit condition negotiations with the Petitioners.
Chairman Hughes noted a Mission Statement may assist the Council in its
deliberation of issues.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was
adjourned by the order of the Chair at 2:04 PM.

HOGAN QUARRY DUST CONTROL PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to control the fugitive dust emissions for the new Hogan
Rock Quarry.
In order to control the fugitive dust the following measures have been implemented.
1. A tire wash system will be installed to wash dust from the wheels and underbody
of all haul trucks exiting the facility. This system directs water under pressure at
the wheels and the underside of each vehicle as it passes through.
In the event the tire wash system is inoperable, frequency for cleaning the
pavement in and around the scales and exit will be increased.
2. Haul roads will be watered once every two hours by means of a 777B Caterpillar
Water Truck(12,000 gallons)with water cannon.
In the event of this truck being inoperable, haul roads will be watered by the
Mack Water Truck every 2 hours. If the 777B is determined to be down for an
extended period of time then an additional water truck will be rented.
3. The yard, pavement in and around the scales and the quarry entranced will be
swept with a Massey Ferguson tractor with a broom attachment and sprayed
with a Mack Water Truck(2,000 gallons)with sprayer nozzles and hose.
4. The following areas will be swept: 50 yards east of the quarry entrance, the
acceleration lane, and 50 yards west of the acceleration lane.
If the above measures are not sufficient to control the fugitive dust, then the
frequency of items 2, 3, and 4 will be increased to bring the dust in control.

intersection. Corkscrew Swamp surrounds the project site by the
north, northwest, and east. Camp Keais Strand is located to the
southeast of the project site. The proposed mitigation
properties are located in Section 16, Township 47 South, Range
28 East, Collier County, Florida.
Directions to the site are as follows : From Interstate 75 take
the Im.mokalee Road exit (exit #111) and travel east on Immokalee
Road approximately 19. 5 miles, at the Oil Well Grade Road travel
north until reaching project site. The project site is located
at the end of Oil Well Grade Road.
LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: Project Site:
Latitude 26°23' 15 . 00" North
Longitude 81°31' 02 . 22"West
Mitigation Site:
Latitude 26°23' 17 , 23" North
Longitude8l°30' 31 . 39" West
PROJECT PURPOSE:
Basic: The construction and operation activities associated
with sand and limestone mining.
Overall : The construction and operation activities associated
with a sand and limestone mining operation to take place in
Collier County, Florida.
PROPOSED WORK: The applicant requests a twenty-five (25) year
permit for the construction and operation activities for a
954 . 88 acre sand and limestone mine operation known as "Hogan
Island Quarry. " The project includes the following specific
elements :
Excavation: The mining activity proposes to excavate 727 .22
acres of sand and limestone resulting in approximately 1, 597, 327
cubic yards of material at a depth of 35 to 45 feet below the
existing grade. The excavation will be conducted in seven (7)
cells eventually resulting in one (1) contiguous lake.
Stormwater Management: A 38 acre perimeter stormwater
containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter
of developed portions of the project site. A 7 . 7 acre tailing
pond will also be constructed aiding in stormwater management
within the on-site processing area.
Processing Area & Access Roads: The Quarry property will
contain a 73. 6 acre aggregate processing area where material
will be stockpiled and processed. The processing area will
include a small office building a small maintenance shop,
storage facilities, parking areas, above ground storage fuel and
oil tanks with proper containments, and possible asphalt batch
plant. A system of 15. 7 acres of haul roads will be built
within the mining area and will extend to the proposed
processing facilities to the southern end of the property where
material will be excavated. Project plans also include a 3. 3
acre access road for the entrance into the conservation area,
and 158 acres of miscellaneous open space.
Impacts: The proposed project will require the disturbance to
approximately 73 . 23 acres of wetlands, 44 . 57 acres of other
surface waters and 881 . 65 acres of agriculture lands . Of the
73 . 23 acres of wetland impact, the proposal will permanently
impact 10 . 95 acres, of which 5. 11 acres are considered USACE
jurisdictional . Of the 44 . 57 acres of other surface waters, six
are USACE jurisdictional totaling 4 . 76 acres of impact .
4:)
2
Mitigation: As compensatory mitigation for the 5 . 11 acres of
jurisdictional wetland impacts, the applicant proposes the
preservation and enhancement of 45.24 acres. The conservation
area will encompass a 22. 77 acre and 9. 70 acre off-site parcels
and one 12.77 acre on-site parcel . The three (3) mitigation
areas will create one ( 1) contiguous 45.24 acre preserve system.
The preservation plan includes the enhancement and preservation
of 27 . 78 acres of wetlands and 17 . 46 acres of uplands . Wetland
creation, restoration and enhancement will be accomplished
through the removal of exotic and nuisance species, planting of
native species, grading the land at lower topography in wetland
creation areas, and the establishment of an upland/wetland
management plan.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The project site is a 954 . 88 acre pre-
existing agriculture area dominated by 866. 79 acres of pastures
and crop lands. The site consists of approximately 5 . 11 acres
of jurisdictional wetlands and 4 . 76 acres of jurisdictional
waters. The existing land uses or cover types for the project
site include the following 17 Florida Land Use, and Cover and
Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) codes: improved pasture,
unimproved pasture, woodland pasture, row crops, agriculture
facilities, disturbed palmetto prairie, disturbed pine
flatwoods, brazilian pepper, cabbage palm, drainage ditches,
scrub-shrub wetland mixed species, disturbed freshwater marsh,
disturbed willow marsh, disturbed wet prairie, previously
cleared lands, unpaved and unimproved roads and trails .
ENDANGERED SPECIES: The applicant has conducted wildlife
surveys on the project site. The applicant indicated that wood
storks (Mycteria americana) were observed within the project
limits during the August 2006 listed species survey. During the
species survey, no other listed species were observed within the
project limits . The U. S. Corps of Engineers (Corps) has
determined that the project "may affect, but is not likely to
adversely affect" the endangered wood stork (Mycteria americana)
with the inclusion of wetland mitigation for the loss of the
core foraging habitat .
The Corps has determined that the project "may affect" the
endangered Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) due to the
project location within the Panther Focus Area and the increased
vehicle traffic patterns consequential to the project purpose.
3
The Corps has determined that the project "may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect" the eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon
corais couperi. ) This determination is based on the absence of
gopher tortoise burrows within the project site, and the
compliance with the Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern
Indigo Snake.
By separate letter, the above determinations will be coordinated
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pursuant to Section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act . The Corps of Engineers is unaware of
any other threatened or endangered species concerns in the
project area.
NOTE: This public notice is being issued based on information
furnished by the applicant. This information has not been
verified. The jurisdictional line has not been verified.
AUTHORIZATION FROM OTHER AGENCIES: Water Quality Certification
may be required from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and/or one of the state Water Management Districts .
Comments regarding the application should be submitted in
writing to the District Engineer at the above address within 30
days from the date of this notice .

Immokalee LLC Rezone
EAC Summary
During the January 17, 2008 Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) meeting, the
CCPC recommended to forward petition RZ-2007-AR-12044 to the Environmental
Advisory Council (EAC) for review. In accordance with LDC Section 8.06.03.0
(Powers and Duties of the EAC), the EAC shall review any petition which requires
approval of the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) or the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) where staff receives a request from the Chairman of the EAC,
CCPC or the BCC for that petition to be reviewed by the EAC.
The Immokalee LLC rezone petition is a request to rezone the subject site from the
Estates (E) Zoning District to the Residential Multi-family (RMF-16) Zoning District for
a multi-family residential development with a maximum density of 15 units per acre, or
140 dwelling units on a 9.33 acre site. The subject property is presently vacant and
undeveloped, and has not been previously disturbed. Only the 6.42 acre uplands portion
of the site would be developed, and the remaining 2.91 acres of wetland area (marsh,
swamp, and drainage canals) would be preserved. The development standards for the
RMF-16 Zoning District are as follows:
• Maximum Zoned Building Heights: 75 feet
• Maximum Front Yard Setback: 1/2 SBH with a minimum of 30 feet.
In addition, a minimum of 140 parking spaces, or one space per unit plus visitor parking,
would be required for the proposed multi-family dwelling units.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning: The subject property is presently vacant and
undeveloped, and is within the Estates (E) Zoning District. North of the property is Farm
Worker's Village, a multi-family development, in the Village Residential Zoning District.
South of the property is vacant, undeveloped land in the Estates (E) Zoning District. East
of the property is vacant land, owned by Seminole Casino, in the Agricultural - Mobile
Home Overlay (A-MHO) Zoning District, and west of the property is Bethune Education
Center in the Estates (E) Zoning District.
Zoning Synopsis: As described in LDC Section 2.03.01(F), the purpose and intent of the
residential multiple-family-16 district "RMF-16" is to provide lands for medium to high
density multiple-family residences, generally surrounded by open space, located in close
proximity to public and commercial services, with direct or convenient access to arterial
and collector roads on the county major road network. This district corresponds to and
implements the urban mixed use land use designation on the future land use map of the
Collier County GMP. The maximum density shall not exceed 12 dwelling units per acre
in accordance with the Immokalee Area Master Plan, except as permitted by policies
contained in the future land use element pertaining to Residential In-fill Density Bonus
criteria. See GMP impact for details.
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary
May 7,2008
Page 2
Growth Management Plan Consistency: The subject 9.33 acre property, as identified
on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP), is
within the land use designation known as Neighborhood Center (NC) Subdistrict
(denoted as NC on the IAMP FLUM). The purpose of this land use classification is to
provide for centers of activity that serve the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. The
centers should contain a blended mix of neighborhood oriented uses such as day care
centers, parks, schools and governmental activities.
In accordance with the NC designation, Section 4. d., "non residential uses shall be at
least 20 percent of the size of the NC." The subject NC area is approximately 110 acres.
Currently, the NC includes two non-residential uses: the Career and Service Center of
Collier County (3.7 acres) and Bethune Education Center (10.4 acres). The existing non-
residential uses combined equate to 12.8 percent of the NC's size. As a result of the
existing non-residential uses, the aforementioned NC provision still requires at least eight
acres be available for future non-residential use.
The majority of the NC is zoned Estates (E), but there is a 4.5 acre parcel zoned Village
Residential (VR) in the northeast quadrant abutting County Road 846. Additionally, there
is a 2.8 acre parcel currently being utilized for residential purposes at the corner of
Bethune Road and County Road 846. In combination, the two existing properties account
for 7.3 acres and approximately 6.6 percent of the total NC. When the existing residential
properties and existing non residential uses are added together, they represent 19.4
percent of the NC. As a result, the 80.6 percent remaining area of the NC (88.7 acres)
demonstrates adequate development potential for achieving the requisite amount of non-
residential usage even when the proposed rezone is factored into the future development
scenario.
Pursuant to the NC designation, Section 4. e., "residential development within the
designated Neighborhood Centers shall permit a maximum density of twelve (12) units
per gross acre. Residential dwelling units shall be limited to multi-family structures and
less intensive units such as single-family and duplexes provided they are compatible with
the district."
The petitioner is proposing an exclusively multi-family-based residential development
which would be consistent with residential uses intended for the NC. From the density
perspective, the petitioner is requesting 15 units per acre based upon Residential In-fill
Bonus eligibility.
Section 2, Density Bonuses, d. Residential In-fill, of the TAMP, lists the following
additional criteria, "To encourage residential in-fill, three (3) residential dwelling units
per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met..."
Amomminow
•
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary
May 7,2008
Page 3
Residential In-fill eligibility criteria is as follows:
• "The project is 10 acres or less in size"—subject parcel is 9.33
acres
• "At the time of development, the project will be served by
central public water and sewer" — subject parcel is within the
Immokalee Water and Sewer District, which will provide
water and sewer service
• "The project is compatible with surrounding land uses" — see
page 7 for Zoning Analysis
• "The property in question has no common site development
plan with adjacent property" — there is no indication of any
common site development plans with contiguous properties
property appraiser records.
• "There is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels" —
Cthere is no common ownership among adjacent properties
• "The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of
the Residential In-fill Density Bonus and was created prior to
the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management Plan
on January 10, 1989" — according to the Collier County
Property Appraiser's Office, the respective parcel was created
in its current legal descriptive form on or about 1965.
Based upon the above analysis, the project is eligible for a maximum density of 15
dwelling units per acre (du/a).
Conclusion: Staff deems the subject RMF-16 rezone request consistent with the TAMP
based on the following findings.
• The site qualifies as a residential infill project which is eligible
for three additional dwelling units per acre.
• The IAMP allows 12 units per acre.
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary
May 7, 2008
Page 4
Therefore, staff recommends approval subject to the following:
• A density cap of 15 du/a shall be placed on the RMF-16
rezone request at the time of approval, and this density cap
shall be included in the rezone ordinance as RMF-16 (15)
Environmental Services Recommendation: The preserve selection as proposed on the
project master plan is consistent with the ranking and location requirements in the
Growth Management Plan.
The following items shall be required as part of the next development order:
1. A Preserve Management Plan shall be provided including a
replanting plan for the area of invasive exotic vegetation in the
preserve area.
2. A listed species update shall be required prior to the next
development order including panther and bear telemetry points.
3. Listed species management plans shall be required, including
Florida black bear and Big Cypress fox squirrel.
4. Mitigation for Florida panther impacts shall be approved by
USFWS - US Fish and Wildlife Service
Preservation requirements are based on the entire site of f 9 acres. 15% of the total site
is 1.4 acres and is shown on the site plan.

CStandard Rezone Considerations (LDC Section 10.03.05.G.)
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
• 1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies and future land use map and the elements of the growth management plan.
The proposed change from the Estates zoning district to RMF-16 would be
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies and future land use map of the
growth management plan. The subject property is within Immokalee and guided
by the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The proposed zoning change would not only
meet the current objective of the Master Plan, but it would also meet the presently
proposed changes to the Plan.
The current Immokalee Future Land Use Map plans the subject property and
surrounding area as NC — Neighborhood Center. According to the Master Plan,
this category is eligible for up to twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. The
property is also eligible for an additional three (3) dwelling units per acre as a
residential infill. To qualify as residential infill the project must be ten (10) acres
or less in size, served by public sewer/water, abut at least one developed property,
owned independently of surrounding parcels, and created prior to the provision in
the Growth Management Plan. Based on these criteria, the project is eligible for
up to fifteen(15)units per acre.
The presently proposed changes to the Immokalee Future Land Use Map depict
the area as High Density Residential (>15 units/acre).
A multi-family residential project would provide a quality housing choice in the
area.
2. The existing land use pattern.
Much of the immediate surrounding area is currently undeveloped. There are
scattered developments in the area that include office development to the west, the
Bethune Education Center to the northwest, a farm workers village to the north,
and the Seminole Casino to the northeast.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby
districts.
This proposed project would provide the residential infill component that is
needed in the immediate area as part of the Neighborhood Center district.
According to the Master Plan, centers should contain a mix of neighborhood
oriented uses such as residential, day care, parks, schools, and governmental
activities.
According to the Neighborhood Center district, non-residential uses shall be at
least 20%of the size of the center. This Neighborhood Center is roughly 97 acres
in size. There are currently non-residential uses (school and governmental
offices) totaling approximately 10 acres within the Neighborhood Center. Total
developed land (including this proposed rezoning) within the center is
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
approximately 26 acres. Therefore, the current percentage of developed land in
•
the district that is non-residential is about 38%. Additionally, there will be
roughly 71 remaining acres in which to achieve a wide range of non-residential
uses.
Rezoning the subject parcel to allow multi-family uses will not adversely impact
the total desired mix of uses within the district.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing
conditions on the property for the proposed change.
N/A.
S. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed
amendment(rezone) necessary.
This area surrounding the proposed project is transitioning. Neighborhood
Centers planned in Immokalee are envisioned as mixed-use areas including
residential densities greater than is allowed by the existing Estates zoning.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed multi-family residential project would positively influence the area
and improve the neighborhood by providing additional quality housing choices.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or
create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because of
peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during
construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety.
The proposed rezone to RMF-16 would allow for a maximum density of 15 units
per acre for the property according to the Immokalee Area Master Plan. This
would equate to approximately 140 residential units on 9.33 acres. This density
increase to the area would not negatively impact or be deemed incompatible with
the surrounding area which fronts Immokalee Road (CR 846), a key transportation
corridor in the area.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The proposed multi-family residential project would manage all stormwater onsite
according to Collier County and South Florida Water Management District
regulations and would not adversely impact adjacent parcels.
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
The proposed multi-family residential project will be designed in accordance with
surrounding development and County LDC setback and buffer requirements.
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
10. Whether the proposed change will seriously affect property values in the adjacent
area.
It is anticipated that the proposed multi-family residential project would positively
influence the property values in the adjacent area.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development
of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
We believe this proposed Multi-family residential project would positively
influence the area as well as stimulate and improve the neighborhood.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
Granting this change would not constitute a special privilege. Granting this
change would bring the property is in conformance with the Immokalee Area
Master Plan and Future Land Use Map.
13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance
with existing zoning.
The existing zoning is incongruent with the envisioned Neighborhood Center that
focuses on a mix of neighborhood uses and residential densities to support them.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or
the county.
The proposed multi-family use will meet the intent of the Neighborhood Center
district, including the intended mix of uses and densities. The development will
be compatible with surroundings and provide an additional housing choice in the
area.
15. Whether it is impossible to find other adequate sites in the county for the proposed
use in districts already permitting such use.
The current Immokalee Area Master Plan designates this area as Neighborhood
Center with the need for addition residential and non-residential projects. In
addition, the presently proposed Master Plan changes for this area designate it as
High Density Residential. This proposed zoning change for the subject parcel
would allow for a multi-family residential project that would fulfill what is
envisioned in both the current and proposed plans.
16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration which
would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses
under the proposed zoning classification.
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
The site is currently wooded with a mix of wetland areas and upland areas. A
minimum of 15% of the native vegetation will be retained. The majority of
existing wetlands on the subject site will remain protected and unchanged. The
remaining upland portions of the site will be cleared for development as
necessary.
17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and
services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County growth
management plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance[Code ch. 106, art. IIJ, as amended.
There are more than adequate public facilities and capacities available to this site.
The proposed multi-family residential project would not compromise any current
levels of service already available.
According to letters received from utility providers, there exists sufficient capacity
to serve the proposed development.
18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the board of county commissioners
shall deem important in the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
The conventional rezone petition for the subject property meets the intent of the
Collier County Growth Management Plan and more specifically, the Immokalee
Area Master Plan. Development of the property will have no adverse impacts on
surrounding areas in terms of stormwater run-off, environmental impacts,
compatibility, or property values. The multi-family housing proposed will also
serve a need for additional quality housing in the community.
9. Deed Restrictions: The County is legally precluded from enforcing deed restrictions,
however, many communities have adopted such restrictions. You may wish to contact the
civic or property owners association in the area for which this use is being requested in
order to ascertain whether or not the request is affected by existing deed restrictions.
10. Previous land use petitions on the subject property: To your knowledge, has a public
hearing been held on this property within the last year? If so, what was the nature of that
hearing? NO

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide the results of the April 16, 2007 protected species
survey and environmental assessment for the 9.33 acre Immokalee site in accordance
with a rezoning application submitted for the subject parcel. The project site is bordered
by School Drive to the north, C.R. 846 to the east, and vacant land to the south and west
in Section 9,Township 47S, Range 29E, Collier County, Florida.
The purpose of the site visit was to conduct a habitat assessment of the site and conduct a
wildlife survey to identify the presence or absence of protected wildlife species,
specifically Big Cypress fox squirrel (Sciurus niger avicennia), red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), and gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus). In
addition, a protected plant species survey was conducted to determine the presence or
absence of protected plant species onsite.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The vegetative communities occurring on the 9.33-acre site were evaluated as potential
habitat for protected wildlife and plant species. The upland areas onsite were surveyed
for their potential to support the listed gopher tortoise and red-cockaded woodpecker. In
addition, Collier County staff has also requested the survey of the site for Big Cypress
fox squirrel. Upland and wetland habitats onsite were also surveyed for protected plant
species that may occur.
Site observations, in conjunction with the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida
(1998) and aerial photographs, were used to develop a map of the habitats on site
according to the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS)—
Figure 1. The following is a description of the habitats observed within the property

UPLAND HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS
Pine Flatwoods/Brazilian Pepper-FLUCCS 411/422
Within this habitat, slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and Brazilian pepper (Schinus
terebinthifolius) are dominant. Subdominant species include saw palmetto (Serenoa
repens), saltbush(Baccharis halimifolia), myrsine (Myrsine sp.), wild coffee (Psychotria
spp.),wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), cedar(Juniperus spp.), and oak(Quercus spp.). The
groundcover is dominated by broom grass (Andropogon virginicus), catbrier(Smilax sp.),
blackberry (Rubus sp.), and bahia grass (Paspalum notatum), and other weedy species
occur as minor associations within this habitat. No protected wildlife species were
observed within this habitat, due to the invasive coverage by Brazilian pepper.
Brazilian Pepper—FLUCCS 422
The majority of the site is infested with Brazilian pepper. The Brazilian pepper forms
dense thickets throughout this habitat. No protected species were observed or are
expected within this habitat due to heavy shading.
Road—FLUCCS 810
A road runs along the northern boundary of the property.
WETLAND HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS
Ditch—FLUCCS 510
This habitat is an open water canal dominated by the exotic species, water lettuce (Pistia
stratiotes) and Brazilian pepper, in addition to willow (Salix caroliniana). This feature
was most likely excavated from wetlands and appears to be currently used as stormwater
drainage for the development to the north.
Disturbed Willow Marsh - FLUCCS 618-1
This habitat is dominated by willow and Brazilian pepper and is located along the fringes.
This marsh is connected to the freshwater herbaceous marsh and ditch to the north and
west.
Disturbed Cypress Swamp-FLUCCS 621-1
This habitat is a part of a larger cypress slough system that extends off site to the south
and east of the property. The vegetation is dominated by bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum). Red maple (Acer rubrum), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), swamp fern
(Blechnum serrulatum), and Brazilian pepper are subdominant. The habitat is good
quality with the exception of slight invasion of Brazilian pepper along the edge of the
wetland area.
Freshwater Marsh- FLUCCS 641
This habitat is dominated by maidencane (Panicum hemitomon). Additional species
observed in the marsh included alligator flag (Thalia geniculata), Virginia buttonweed
(Diodia virginiana), primrose willow (Ludwigia repens), and wax myrtle (Myrica
cerifera). There was approximately 4 feet of standing water in the wetland at the time of
the survey. This marsh is connected to the ditch that is to the west.

3.0 METHODOLOGY
A formal protected wildlife and plant survey was conducted on April 16, 2007 to
determine the presence or absence of protected wildlife species onsite and the general
location, density, and species of protected plants located within the project site. All
endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited plants found in Florida Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Services Chapter 5B-40.0055 Regulated Plant Index were
included in the survey. In addition, more mature slash pine and cypress trees were all
closely inspected for epiphytic species including Tillandsia sp. that could occur onsite.
Survey methods consisted of linear and meandering pedestrian transects throughout the
project area and species-specific survey methodology is described below.
GOPHER TORTOISE
Biologists located suitable gopher tortoise habitat during the preliminary field visits. A
formal 100% survey of suitable gopher tortoise habitat was completed for the parcel in
accordance with FWC guidelines.
BIG CYPRESS FOX SQUIRREL
Surveys were conducted within areas of the potential Big Cypress fox squirrel habitat.
Biologists surveyed for fox squirrels by meandering through all areas of suitable habitat.
Biologists stopped, looked, and listened at open locations that allowed visibility of
suitable habitat. Biologists looked for signs of fox squirrel activity, such as pinecone
remains,nests, scat, and tracks.
RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER
According to the Standardized State-Listed Animal Surveys Procedures obtained from
FWC, the red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically prefer habitats such as pinelands
with mature trees of an age of 60 years or more, habitats that have an open mid-story,and
areas where regular burns occur. Although a very limited amount of the project area
contains large pine trees, most of this habitat is not suitable for RCW nesting because of
the invasion of Brazilian pepper. The area was surveyed for RCW utilization during the
wildlife survey. All sides of suitable pine trees were checked for nest cavities, start holes,
or birds.
4.0 RESULTS/DISCUSSION
During the April 2007 protected species survey, no protected wildlife species or evidence
of protected wildlife species were observed onsite. As mentioned, protected wildlife
surveys focused on Big Cypress fox squirrel, red-cockaded woodpecker, and gopher
tortoise. No fox squirrel nests or day beds were observed in any of the slash pine or
cypress trees observed onsite. Similarly, no red-cockaded woodpecker nest cavities were
observed in any of the slash pine trees during the survey. In addition, no gopher tortoise
burrows were observed within any of the upland habitats observed onsite.
3
Several wading birds were observed during the survey, of which snowy egret, tri-colored
heron, and white ibis are listed by the FWC as Species of Special Concern. No wading
birds were observed roosting or nesting on site.
A review of the FWC eagle nest locator database shows that one known eagle nest is
located more than 4 miles east of the project site. No bald eagles were observed and no
nests were observed in the canopy on site or within the vicinity of the project boundary.
Therefore, there are no known bald eagle nests that affect the site.
Protected plant species were observed during the protected species survey (Table 1).
None of the identified plants are federally listed, one is listed as endangered in Florida,
and one is listed as threatened in Florida. All of the identified protected plant species are
epiphytic and are found on the slash pine, Brazilian pepper, and cypress tree within the
site. At the time of this survey, the locations of the plants observed were not flagged in
the field as these plants were dispersed throughout the habitats onsite. The exact
locations of these plants will be flagged and located using a Global Positioning System
(GPS) closer to the time of the proposed relocation to ensure the relocation of all plants
(new and existing)to the onsite preserve. Density of Tillandsia species varied throughout
the upland and wetland habitats onsite.
Table 1. Listed plant species observed during the April 2007 survey
Species Common Name State Status Federal Status
Tillandsia balbisiana Inflated wild-pine T -
Tillandsia utriculata Giant wild-pine E -
Tillandsia species present on the trees that will be cleared for development will be
relocated to suitable pine or cypress trees within the onsite preserve area prior to
construction. Relocation of the plants will be conducted by a professional with
experience in arboreal plant relocations. The long-term management of the onsite
preserve will ensure continued protection to these species upon relocation.
5.0 CONCLUSION
All endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited plants found in Florida
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Chapter 5B-40.0055 Regulated Plant
Index were included in the survey.
Specific protected wildlife species that were surveyed for include Big Cypress fox
squirrel nests and day beds, red-cockaded woodpecker nest cavities, and gopher tortoise
burrows. None of these protected wildlife species or evidence of these species were
observed during the survey.
Protected plant species observed within the habitats onsite were observed in limited
amounts. Tillandsia species were only observed to occur on more mature slash pine and
cypress trees. The density of protected plant species observed varied from low to
moderate to high within both upland and wetland habitats. No protected plant species
4
were observed on any Brazilian pepper trees onsite. Any listed species that may be
disturbed at the time of the proposed development will be relocated to suitable habitat
within the onsite preserve prior to the commencement of construction of the
development.

EAC Summary
During the January 17, 2008 Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) meeting, the
CCPC recommended to forward petition RZ-2007-AR-12044 to the Environmental
Advisory Council (EAC) for review. In accordance with LDC Section 8.06.03.0
(Powers and Duties of the EAC), the EAC shall review any petition which requires
approval of the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) or the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) where staff receives a request from the Chairman of the EAC,
CCPC or the BCC for that petition to be reviewed by the EAC.
The Immokalee LLC rezone petition is a request to rezone the subject site from the
Estates (E) Zoning District to the Residential Multi-family (RMF-16) Zoning District for
a multi-family residential development with a maximum density of 15 units per acre, or
140 dwelling units on a 9.33 acre site. The subject property is presently vacant and
undeveloped, and has not been previously disturbed. Only the 6.42 acre uplands portion
of the site would be developed, and the remaining 2.91 acres of wetland area (marsh,
swamp, and drainage canals) would be preserved. The development standards for the
RMF-16 Zoning District are as follows:
• Maximum Zoned Building Heights: 75 feet
• Maximum Front Yard Setback: 1/2 SBH with a minimum of 30 feet.
In addition, a minimum of 140 parking spaces, or one space per unit plus visitor parking,
would be required for the proposed multi-family dwelling units.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning: The subject property is presently vacant and
undeveloped, and is within the Estates (E) Zoning District. North of the property is Farm
Worker's Village, a multi-family development, in the Village Residential Zoning District.
South of the property is vacant, undeveloped land in the Estates (E) Zoning District. East
of the property is vacant land, owned by Seminole Casino, in the Agricultural - Mobile
Home Overlay (A-MHO) Zoning District, and west of the property is Bethune Education
Center in the Estates (E) Zoning District.
Zoning Synopsis: As described in LDC Section 2.03.01(F), the purpose and intent of the
residential multiple-family-16 district "RMF-16" is to provide lands for medium to high
density multiple-family residences, generally surrounded by open space, located in close
proximity to public and commercial services, with direct or convenient access to arterial
and collector roads on the county major road network. This district corresponds to and
implements the urban mixed use land use designation on the future land use map of the
Collier County GMP. The maximum density shall not exceed 12 dwelling units per acre
in accordance with the Immokalee Area Master Plan, except as permitted by policies
contained in the future Iand use element pertaining to Residential In-fill Density Bonus
criteria. See GMP impact for details.
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary

Growth Management Plan Consistency: The subject 9.33 acre property, as identified
on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Immokalee Area Master Plan (IAMP), is
within the land use designation known as Neighborhood Center (NC) Subdistrict
(denoted as NC on the IAMP FLUM). The purpose of this land use classification is to
provide for centers of activity that serve the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. The
centers should contain a blended mix of neighborhood oriented uses such as day care
centers, parks, schools and governmental activities.
In accordance with the NC designation, Section 4. d., "non residential uses shall be at
least 20 percent of the size of the NC." The subject NC area is approximately 110 acres.
Currently, the NC includes two non-residential uses: the Career and Service Center of
Collier County (3.7 acres) and Bethune Education Center (10.4 acres). The existing non-
residential uses combined equate to 12.8 percent of the NC's size. As a result of the
existing non-residential uses, the aforementioned NC provision still requires at least eight
acres be available for future non-residential use.
The majority of the NC is zoned Estates (E), but there is a 4.5 acre parcel zoned Village
Residential (VR) in the northeast quadrant abutting County Road 846. Additionally, there
is a 2.8 acre parcel currently being utilized for residential purposes at the corner of
Bethune Road and County Road 846. In combination, the two existing properties account
for 7.3 acres and approximately 6.6 percent of the total NC. When the existing residential
properties and existing non residential uses are added together, they represent 19.4
percent of the NC. As a result, the 80.6 percent remaining area of the NC (88.7 acres)
demonstrates adequate development potential for achieving the requisite amount of non-
residential usage even when the proposed rezone is factored into the future development
scenario.
Pursuant to the NC designation, Section 4. e., "residential development within the
designated Neighborhood Centers shall permit a maximum density of twelve (12) units
per gross acre. Residential dwelling units shall be limited to multi-family structures and
less intensive units such as single-family and duplexes provided they are compatible with
the district."
The petitioner is proposing an exclusively multi-family-based residential development
which would be consistent with residential uses intended for the NC. From the density
perspective, the petitioner is requesting 15 units per acre based upon Residential In-fill
Bonus eligibility.
Section 2, Density Bonuses, d. Residential In-fill, of the LAMP, lists the following
additional criteria, "To encourage residential in-fill, three (3) residential dwelling units
per gross acre may be added if the following criteria are met..."
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary
May 7, 2008
Page 3
Residential In-fill eligibility criteria is as follows:
• "The project is 10 acres or less in size"—subject parcel is 9.33
acres
• "At the time of development, the project will be served by
central public water and sewer" — subject parcel is within the
Immokalee Water and Sewer District, which will provide
water and sewer service
• "The project is compatible with surrounding land uses" — see
page 7 for Zoning Analysis
• "The property in question has no common site development
plan with adjacent property" — there is no indication of any
common site development plans with contiguous properties
property appraiser records.
• "There is no common ownership with any adjacent parcels" —
there is no common ownership among adjacent properties
• "The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of
the Residential In-fill Density Bonus and was created prior to
the adoption of this provision in the Growth Management Plan
on January 10, 1989" — according to the Collier County
Property Appraiser's Office, the respective parcel was created
in its current legal descriptive form on or about 1965.
Based upon the above analysis, the project is eligible for a maximum density of 15
dwelling units per acre (du/a).
Conclusion: Staff deems the subject RMF-16 rezone request consistent with the TAMP
based on the following findings.
• The site qualifies as a residential infill project which is eligible
for three additional dwelling units per acre.
• The TAMP allows 12 units per acre.
Immokalee LLC Rezone EAC Summary
May 7, 2008
Page 4
Therefore, staff recommends approval subject to the following:
• A density cap of 15 du/a shall be placed on the RMF-16
rezone request at the time of approval, and this density cap
shall be included in the rezone ordinance as RMF-16 (15)
Environmental Services Recommendation: The preserve selection as proposed on the
project master plan is consistent with the ranking and location requirements in the
Growth Management Plan.
The following items shall be required as part of the next development order:
1. A Preserve Management Plan shall be provided including a
replanting plan for the area of invasive exotic vegetation in the
preserve area.
2. A listed species update shall be required prior to the next
development order including panther and bear telemetry points.
3. Listed species management plans shall be required, including
Florida black bear and Big Cypress fox squirrel.
4. Mitigation for Florida panther impacts shall be approved by
USFWS - US Fish and Wildlife Service
Preservation requirements are based on the entire site of± 9 acres. 15% of the total site
is 1.4 acres and is shown on the site plan.

Standard Rezone Considerations (LDC Section 10.03.05.G.)
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
Aimminsm.
1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies and future land use map and the elements of the growth management plan.
C
The proposed change from the Estates zoning district to RMF-16 would be
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies and future land use map of the
growth management plan. The subject property is within Immokalee and guided
by the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The proposed zoning change would not only
meet the current objective of the Master Plan, but it would also meet the presently
proposed changes to the Plan.
The current Immokalee Future Land Use Map plans the subject property and
surrounding area as NC — Neighborhood Center. According to the Master Plan,
this category is eligible for up to twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. The
property is also eligible for an additional three (3) dwelling units per acre as a
residential infill. To qualify as residential infill the project must be ten (10) acres
or less in size, served by public sewer/water, abut at least one developed property,
owned independently of surrounding parcels, and created prior to the provision in
the Growth Management Plan. Based on these criteria, the project is eligible for
up to fifteen(15)units per acre.
The presently proposed changes to the Immokalee Future Land Use Map depict
the area as High Density Residential (>15 units/acre).
A multi-family residential project would provide a quality housing choice in the
area.
2. The existing land use pattern.
Much of the immediate surrounding area is currently undeveloped. There are
scattered developments in the area that include office development to the west, the
Bethune Education Center to the northwest, a farm workers village to the north,
and the Seminole Casino to the northeast.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby
districts.
This proposed project would provide the residential infill component that is
needed in the immediate area as part of the Neighborhood Center district.
According to the Master Plan, centers should contain a mix of neighborhood
oriented uses such as residential, day care, parks, schools, and governmental
activities.
According to the Neighborhood Center district, non-residential uses shall be at
least 20% of the size of the center. This Neighborhood Center is roughly 97 acres
in size. There are currently non-residential uses (school and governmental
offices) totaling approximately 10 acres within the Neighborhood Center. Total
developed land (including this proposed rezoning) within the center is
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
approximately 26 acres. Therefore, the current percentage of developed land in
the district that is non-residential is about 38%. Additionally, there will be
roughly 71 remaining acres in which to achieve a wide range of non-residential
uses.
Rezoning the subject parcel to allow multi-family uses will not adversely impact
the total desired mix of uses within the district.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing
conditions on the property for the proposed change.
N/A.
S. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed
amendment (rezone)necessary.
This area surrounding the proposed project is transitioning. Neighborhood
Centers planned in Immokalee are envisioned as mixed-use areas including
residential densities greater than is allowed by the existing Estates zoning.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed multi-family residential project would positively influence the area
and improve the neighborhood by providing additional quality housing choices.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or
create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because of
peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during
construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety.
The proposed rezone to RMF-16 would allow for a maximum density of 15 units
per acre for the property according to the Immokalee Area Master Plan. This
would equate to approximately 140 residential units on 9.33 acres. This density
increase to the area would not negatively impact or be deemed incompatible with
the surrounding area which fronts Immokalee Road (CR 846), a key transportation
corridor in the area.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The proposed multi-family residential project would manage all stormwater onsite
according to Collier County and South Florida Water Management District
regulations and would not adversely impact adjacent parcels.
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
The proposed multi-family residential project will be designed in accordance with
surrounding development and County LDC setback and buffer requirements.
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-1112812006
• 10. Whether the proposed change will seriously affect property values in the adjacent
area.
It is anticipated that the proposed multi-family residential project would positively
influence the property values in the adjacent area.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development
of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
We believe this proposed multi-family residential project would positively
influence the area as well as stimulate and improve the neighborhood.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
Granting this change would not constitute a special privilege. Granting this
change would bring the property is in conformance with the Immokalee Area
Master Plan and Future Land Use Map.
13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance
with existing zoning.
The existing zoning is incongruent with the envisioned Neighborhood Center that
focuses on a mix of neighborhood uses and residential densities to support them.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or
the county.
The proposed multi-family use will meet the intent of the Neighborhood Center
district, including the intended mix of uses and densities. The development will
be compatible with surroundings and provide an additional housing choice in the
area.
15. Whether it is impossible to find other adequate sites in the county for the proposed
use in districts already permitting such use.
The current Immokalee Area Master Plan designates this area as Neighborhood
Center with the need for addition residential and non-residential projects. In
addition, the presently proposed Master Plan changes for this area designate it as
High Density Residential. This proposed zoning change for the subject parcel
would allow for a multi-family residential project that would fulfill what is
envisioned in both the current and proposed plans.
16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration which
would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses
under the proposed zoning classification.
APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR STANDARD REZONE-11/28/2006
The site is currently wooded with a mix of wetland areas and upland areas. A
minimum of 15% of the native vegetation will be retained. The majority of
existing wetlands on the subject site will remain protected and unchanged. The
remaining upland portions of the site will be cleared for development as
necessary.
17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and
services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County growth
management plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance[Code ch. 106, art. II], as amended.
There are more than adequate public facilities and capacities available to this site.
The proposed multi-family residential project would not compromise any current
levels of service already available.
According to letters received from utility providers,there exists sufficient capacity
to serve the proposed development.
18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the board of county commissioners
shall deem important in the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
The conventional rezone petition for the subject property meets the intent of the
Collier County Growth Management Plan and more specifically, the Immokalee
Area Master Plan. Development of the property will have no adverse impacts on
surrounding areas in terms of stormwater run-off, environmental impacts,
compatibility, or property values. The multi-family housing proposed will also
serve a need for additional quality housing in the community.
9. Deed Restrictions: The County is legally precluded from enforcing deed restrictions,
however, many communities have adopted such restrictions. You may wish to contact the
civic or property owners association in the area for which this use is being requested in
order to ascertain whether or not the request is affected by existing deed restrictions.
10. Previous land use petitions on the subject property: To your knowledge, has a public
hearing been held on this property within the last year? If so, what was the nature of that
hearing? NO
11. Additional Submittal requirements: In addition to this completed application, the
following shall be submitted in order for your application to be deemed sufficient, unless
otherwise waived during the pre-application meeting.
a. A copy of the pre-application meeting notes;
b. If this rezone is being requested for a specific use, provide fifteen (15) copies of a

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide the results of the April 16, 2007 protected species
survey and environmental assessment for the 9.33 acre Immokalee site in accordance
with a rezoning application submitted for the subject parcel. The project site is bordered
by School Drive to the north, C.R. 846 to the east, and vacant land to the south and west
in Section 9,Township 47S, Range 29E, Collier County, Florida.
The purpose of the site visit was to conduct a habitat assessment of the site and conduct a
wildlife survey to identify the presence or absence of protected wildlife species,
specifically Big Cypress fox squirrel (Sciurus niger avicennia), red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), and gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus). In
addition, a protected plant species survey was conducted to determine the presence or
absence of protected plant species onsite.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The vegetative communities occurring on the 9.33-acre site were evaluated as potential
habitat for protected wildlife and plant species. The upland areas onsite were surveyed
for their potential to support the listed gopher tortoise and red-cockaded woodpecker. In
addition, Collier County staff has also requested the survey of the site for Big Cypress
fox squirrel. Upland and wetland habitats onsite were also surveyed for protected plant
species that may occur.
Site observations, in conjunction with the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida
(1998) and aerial photographs, were used to develop a map of the habitats on site
according to the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System(FLUCCS)—
Figure 1. The following is a description of the habitats observed within the property

UPLAND HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS
Pine Flatwoods/Brazilian Pepper- FLUCCS 411/422
Within this habitat, slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and Brazilian pepper (Schinus
terebinthifolius) are dominant. Subdominant species include saw palmetto (Serenoa
repens), saltbush (Baccharis halimifolia), myrsine (Myrsine sp.), wild coffee(Psychotria
spp.),wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), cedar(Juniperus spp.), and oak(Quercus spp.). The
groundcover is dominated by broom grass(Andropogon virginicus), catbrier(Smilax sp.),
blackberry (Rubus sp.), and bahia grass (Paspalum notatum), and other weedy species
occur as minor associations within this habitat. No protected wildlife species were
observed within this habitat,due to the invasive coverage by Brazilian pepper.
Brazilian Pepper—FLUCCS 422
The majority of the site is infested with Brazilian pepper. The Brazilian pepper forms
dense thickets throughout this habitat. No protected species were observed or are
expected within this habitat due to heavy shading.
Road—FLUCCS 810
A road runs along the northern boundary of the property.
WETLAND HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS
Ditch—FLUCCS 510
This habitat is an open water canal dominated by the exotic species, water lettuce (Pistia
stratiotes) and Brazilian pepper, in addition to willow (Salix caroliniana). This feature
was most likely excavated from wetlands and appears to be currently used as stormwater
drainage for the development to the north.
Disturbed Willow Marsh- FLUCCS 618-1
This habitat is dominated by willow and Brazilian pepper and is located along the fringes.
This marsh is connected to the freshwater herbaceous marsh and ditch to the north and
west.
Disturbed Cypress Swamp-FLUCCS 621-1
This habitat is a part of a larger cypress slough system that extends off site to the south
and east of the property. The vegetation is dominated by bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum). Red maple (Acer rubrum), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), swamp fern
(Blechnum serrulatum), and Brazilian pepper are subdominant. The habitat is good
quality with the exception of slight invasion of Brazilian pepper along the edge of the
wetland area.
Freshwater Marsh - FLUCCS 641
This habitat is dominated by maidencane (Panicum hemitomon). Additional species
observed in the marsh included alligator flag (Thalia geniculata), Virginia buttonweed
(Diodia virginiana), primrose willow (Ludwigia repens), and wax myrtle (Myrica
cerifera). There was approximately 4 feet of standing water in the wetland at the time of
the survey. This marsh is connected to the ditch that is to the west.

Board member shall not serve at any meetings after his or her position becomes vacant
pursuant to this Ordinance.
F. The commencement of a legal challenge by a Board member as a plaintiff in a
lawsuit against Collier County shall constitute a conflict of interest with Collier County
and shall be deemed a tender of resignation from such Board. The County Board
member's position shall automatically be considered vacant and the Commission shall
promptly fill same pursuant to the provisions of Section Six, herein.
G. No member of any County Board, as defined herein, shall print or create, or

appointment is being made.
SECTION SEVEN: Term of Office.
A. Terms of office shall be staggered.
B. Terms of office for Board members shall be limited to two consecutive terms of
service on any one Board; provided, however, that appointment of a Board member to
an initial term of one year shall not be considered a "term of office"for purpose of the
limitations set forth in this Section, and such members shall be entitled to serve two
additional terms if so appointed.
C. Appointments to fill a vacancy for the remainder or balance of a term of office
shall be considered a term of office for the purpose of the limitations set forth in
Section Seven B, above, only if the remainder of the term to be served exceeds fifty
percent(50%) of the full term.
D. By unanimous vote of the Commission, the limitations set forth in Section
Seven B above may be waived.
E. Nothing set forth in this Section shall prohibit any individual from being
reappointed to a Board after a hiatus of two (2)years.
3
F. All members of Boards created by the Commission shall serve at the pleasure of
the Commission and may automatically be removed by a majority vote of the quorum of
the Commission.
SECTION EIGHT: Attendance Requirement.
It is the intent and strong desire of the Commission that there be full attendance of
advisory Board members at all meetings of the Boards, recognizing, however, that it
may be necessary for Board members to be absent from a meeting due to unusual or
emergency circumstances. Nevertheless, full attendance at Board meetings is
encouraged and necessary for the proper operation of the Boards and in furtherance
thereof the following requirements are established:
A. Any Board member who is absent for more than one-half of the Board's

of Section Six herein. The Board members shall not serve at any meetings after his or
her position is declared vacant by the Commission.
B. In the event that any Board member is absent from two consecutive meetings
without a satisfactory excuse acceptable to the Board chairperson, the Board
chairperson shall state such fact at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting and
shall thereafter notify, in writing, the Executive Manager to the Commission of the
Board member's failure to attend without a satisfactory excuse. The Commission shall
review the Board chairperson's notification at the Commission meeting and shall declare
the Board member's position to be vacant if the Commission concurs that the Board
member was absent from two consecutive Board meetings without a satisfactory
excuse, and shall promptly fill same pursuant to the provisions of Section Six herein.
The Board member shall not serve at any meetings after his or her position is declared
vacant.

Re: Environmental Advisory Council
Dear Mr. Hughes:
I am writing this letter in reference to a discussion by the Board of County Commissioners on
May 13, 2008, under agenda item 9G, regarding"powers and duties" of advisory board
members.
While we appreciate your willingness to volunteer your services and the tireless effort that you
put into the meetings, it has been brought to our attention that on several occasions, certain
committees have discussed and made recommendations that do not fall under the powers and
duties assigned to that particular committee. The purpose of this letter is to request that all
advisory committee members review both the Ordinance creating your committee, together with
the by-laws and guidelines adopted (if any) and adhere to the powers and duties assigned to your
committee.
On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, I would like to take this opportunity to
express our sincere gratitude for the fine work you have performed as a member of the
Environmental Advisory Council. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Cordially,
