R-88-4C FILED BY/FOR: Charles L. Shumway of First Plaza Corporation of Naples, Inc. REQUESTING: A zoning change from RSF-1 to PUD "Hidden River" REPRESENTED BY: Ms. Ellen Goetz, Landscape Architect, advised that site plans had been modified; units were reduced to 55 total units; wetlands would be used as retention area as per NRMD jurisdic- tions, and water management plans would be incorporated. Also, that the lake had been decreased from 2 acres to 1. 4 acres, and a recreation center would be located adjacent to the lake. Ms. Stevens confirmed the previous statement, and added that the project ' s density had been changed from 3 . 9 to 3 . 7 units per acre. She noted that NRMD recommends approval of the revised site plan subject to the Stipulations of the original staff report, with Stipulations 5 6 and 7 incorporated into one stipulation. In response to Dr . Benedict, Ms. Stevens explained that Stipulation 8 was being rewritten and would also be included. MOTION: Made by Ms. Kurgis to approve Petition R-88-4C, with revised recommendations with Stipulation 5 reading: the site plan shall be modified to include designation of the wetland preserve retention area; Stipulation 8 shall also be included. Seconded by Mr. Cardillo. Carried 3/1. (Mr. Below opposed) . STIPULATIONS: 1. Petitioner shall be subject to Ordinance 75-21 (or the tree/vegetation removal ordinance in Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 1988 existence at the time of permitting) , requiring the acquisition of a tree removal permit prior to any land clearing. A site clearing plan shall be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Department for their review and sub- ject to approval prior to any work on the site. This plan may be submitted in phases to coincide with the development schedule. The site clearing plan shall clearly depict how the final site layout incorporates retained native vegeta- tion to the maximum extent possible and how roads, buildings, lakes, parking lots, and other facilities have been oriented to accommodate this goal. 2 . Native species shall be utilized, where available, to the maximum extent possible in the site landscaping design. A landscaping plan will be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division for their review and sub- ject to their approval. This plan will depict the incorporation of native species and their mix with other species, if any. The goal of site landscaping shall be the re-creation of native vegetation and habitat characteristics lost on the site during construction or due to past activities. 3 . All exotic plants, as defined in the County Code, shall be removed during each phase of construction from development areas, open space areas, and preserve areas. Following site deve- lopment, a maintenance program shall be imple- mented to prevent reinvasion of the site by such exotic species. This plan, which will describe control techniques and inspection intervals, shall be filed with and subject to approval by the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division. 4 . If, during the course of site clearing, excava- tion, or other constructional activities, an archaeological or historical site, artifact, or other indicator is discovered, all development at that location shall be immediately stopped and the Natural Resources Management Department or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action in regard to its salvageability. The Natural Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 1988 Resources Management Department will respond to .-. any such notification in a timely and efficient manner so as to provide only a minimal interrup- tion to any constructional activities. 5. The wetland area designated by the petitioner on the revised site plan (south of the lake) shall be preserved and incorporated into the water management. plans of the development as a dry retention site. This area shall be fenced off prior to development of the parcel to avoid unnecessary damage to the wetlands habitat. 6. Littoral zones of the lake shall maintain a slope of 4: 1 to a depth of 4 feet. The slope of lake shores adjacent to wetland areas shall be more gradual (preferably 10: 1) . All littoral zones shall be revegetated with native aquatic species, and the encroachment of exotic vegeta- tion in these areas shall be controlled. ***** PETITION NO. R-88-10-C FILED BY/FOR: Dr . John A. McCoy, trustee, Health Care .-. Associates REQUESTING: A zoning a change from A-2 •& RSF-3 to PUD Surrey Place Convalescent Center REPRESENTED BY: _ George Hermansonn of Hole, Montes, & Associates Inc. COMMENTS: A representative from Hole Montes, & Associates Inc. , stated that the subject site is approxi- mately 14 . 28 acres located south of Immokalee Road. He described the area as having pine flatwoods; Brazilian pepper , Xeric scrub; scrub live oak, wire grass, etc. He also stated that a man-made pond was located on site. He noted that the staff report had been reviewed and agreed with the stipulations listed and also with the preservation of the oak impacted areas which would result in the relocation of the parking area . Ms. Stevens concurred with the aforementioned description of the site but emphasized that NRMD' s main concern was the maintenance of the .-� Page 4 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 1988 oaks on site through habitat preservation and .-. the transplanting of individual trees . She noted that NRMD recommends approval, with the four standard stipulations along with two additional stipulations which require the preservation of the oak habitat and the transplanting of oak to landscaped or conservation area . In response to- the question about the fencing off the construction area, Ms. Stevens advised that due to past, difficulties inpreservation areas, a fence or barricade was required. Dr . Benedict expressed his preference to the wording of line two of Stipulation #6 and said it should read: - the petitioner , where feasible, will maintain the other xeric oak habitat. MOTION: Made by Dr. Benedict to recommend approval of Petition R-88-10C, subject to the following stipulations; Stipulation 6 modified as pre- viously stated and with the addition of STIPULATION 7. Seconded by Mr. Below. Carried unanimously. 1. Petitioner shall be subject to Ordinance 75-21 (or tree/vegetation removal ordinance in existence at the time of permitting) , requiring the acquisition of a tree removal permit prior to any land clearing. A site clearing plan shall be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Departmert for their review and subject to approval prior to any work on the site. This plan may be submitted in phases to coincide with the development schedule. The site clearing plan shall clearly depict how the final site layout incorporates retained native vegetation to the maximum extent possible and how roads, buildings, lakes, parking lots, and other facilities have been oriented to accommodate this goal. 2. Native species shall be utilized, where available, to the maximum extent possible in the site landscaping design. A landscaping plan will be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division for their review and sub- ject to their approval. Page 5 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 1988 This plan will depict the incorporation of native species and their mix with other species, if any. The goal of site landscaping shall be the recreation of native vegetation and habitat characteristics lost on the site during construction or due to past activities. 3 . All exotic plants, as defined in the County Code, shall be removed during each phase of construction from development areas, open space areas, and preserve areas. Following site deve- lopment, a maintenance program shall be imple- mented to prevent reinvasion of the site by such exotic species. This plan, which will describe control techniques and inspection intervals, shall be filed with and subject to approval by the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division. 4. If, during the course of site clearing, excava- tion, or other constructional activities, an archaeological or historical site, artifact, or other indicator is discovered, all development at that location shall be immediately stopped and the Natural Resources Management Department notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the Natural Resources Management Department or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action in regard to its salva- geability. The Natural Resources Management Department will respond to any such notification in a timely and efficient manner so as to pro- vide only a minimal interruption to any constructional activities. 5. The oak habitat along the western boundary of the parcel shall be maintained as a conservation area. This will require the relocation of a pro- posed parking area. The boundary of this ha bitat shall be flagged by the petitioner, and subject to the review and approval of NRMD. This conservation area shall be so designated on a revised site plan. The area shall be fenced off prior to development activity. 6. Regarding the oaks located outside the conser- vation area designated according to Stipulation #5, the petitioner where feasible will maintain the other Xeric oak habitat. If development Page 6 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15,1988 prohibits preserving individual oak trees in place, the petitioner shall transplant these trees to landscape areas within the development, or to the conservation area. The petitioner shall work closely with NRMD during the Tree Removal permitting process to determine which trees may be successfully transplanted. 7. The same procedure for a gopher relocation (Florida Game and Fresh Water Commission) shall be followed in the event a gopher tortoise is found. ***** PETITION NO. STD-88-12.0 FILED BY/FOR: Shell Western E & P, Inc. REQUESTING: A special treatment permit for 40 . 2 miles of seismic- lines through various unnamed wetlands in the Area of Critical State Concern just north of Big Cypress National Preserve. REPRESENTED BY: T.A. Herbert and Associates COMMENTS: Dr . Tom Herbert of T. A. Herbert & Associates, agent for Shell Western referred to the map on the wall and briefly explained the sections . He noted that the work would be completed between the end of the summer to the early part of the fall. Mr . Below indicated that the water level in this part of the year was at its highest, but Mr . Herbert noted that the work was scheduled for this time. Mr . Herbert added that a follow- up of last year ' s work was in progress and documentation of the regrowth was being com- piled. In response to Mr . Below, Mr . Herbert advised that they were in compliance with Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) permit stipula- tions . Mr . Edwards noted that Staff concerns were two- fold. First, the destruction of vegetation and routing of soils would be more pronounced; wildlife behavior patterns would be disrupted due to increased activity. Secondly, the "larger picture" of cumulative impacts on the Page 7 • ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORYCOUNCIL JUNE 15 , 1988 wetlands and other habitats-, protected species , was- another major concern. In addition, this area has been proposed as a boundary exten- sion for the Big Cypress. National Preserve and the petitioner has agreed to submit. an Environmental Impact Statement detailing effects as related to Shell Western's site activities. He noted that Staff recommends approval and Shell Western is agreeable to the stipulations. In response to Dr .- Benedict, Mr . .Edwards • explained that the latest staff report is more in keeping with the petitioner ' s proposal. Mr . Hewitt of Shell Western, stated that he had met with Staff and the issues were discussed thoroughly, but he explained that Shell Western could not undertake oil-related activities in the area. He noted that the petition involved seismic activities. Responding to Dr . Cardillo, Dr . Proffitt explained that the habitats are very similar to that of the Preserves. Dr . Benedict asked about the colored lines on .� the map; Dr . Herbert reiterated that the "blue" had been completed; the activities were per- formed on a line-by-line basis with the assistance of DER observers.` He noted that they were now in the process of reviewing the area and vegetation has been observed. Mr . Birch advised that he had flown with Shell representatives and several photographs were taken; he said that he had inspected the site and impacts were minimal. He agreed with Dr . Benedict that the area should be checked again. Ms. Kurgis expressed concern about the animal life in the area and the helipcopter distur- bance in the area, however , Dr . Proffitt said that special precautions were dictated by Fish and Wildlife. Dr . Herbert explained that before the work is begun, permitting processes outline the areas to be avoided. He noted that their equipment is designed to work in this type of environment to Page 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15 , 1988 generate minimal impact. He reiterated that their operation has been done in compliance with all the State agencies , as well as the County, that have jurisdiction. MOTION: Made by Mr. Below to recommend a• •roval of Petition STD-88-12C with the referenced stipulations as indicated below. Seconded by Dr. Benedict. Carried 3/1. (Mr. Cardillo opposed) . STIPULATIONS: 1. Petitioner shall be subject to Ordinance 75-21 (or the tree/vegetation removal ordinance in existence at the time of permitting) , requiring the acquisition of a tree removal permit prior to any land clearing.

This plan, which will describe control techniques and inspection intervals, Page 9 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 1988 shall be filed with and subject to approval by ,.� the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division. 4. If, during the course of site clearing, excava- tion, or other constructional activities, an archaeological or historical site, artifact, or other indicator is discovered, all development at that location shall be immediately stopped and the Natural Resources Management Department notified.

The Natural Resources Management Department will respond to any such notification in a timely and efficient manner so as to provide only a minimal interruption to any constructional activities. ***** NEW BUSINESS: Revised wording for Standard Stipulation #2 (Native Landscaping) Ms. Muldoon, Natural Resources Management, • stated that due to a continued problem with the wording of Stipulation #2, she was requesting a change. She noted that Stipulation #2 requires a submittal of landscape plans for all rezones, provisional uses and PUD' s. She noted that the Stipulation does not make any distinction bet- - ween landscape plans for single-family homes, multi-family dwellings, etc. and since single- family homeowners implement their own landscaping, the developer should not be required to submit a landscaping plan for them, she added. She noted that developers submit a typical landscaping plan with about 60o native vegetation which is the requirement for assessing the land. However , she stated there were two solutions to the problem, one was to incorporate wording into Stipulation #2 which would exempt the single-family homeowner , and secondly, require deed restrictions in the PUD stating that single-family homeowners must uti- lize landscaping plans under this restriction. She noted that the County Attorney had stated Page 10 . ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL JUNE 15 , 1988 that. this requirement could be incorpororated into the PUD because the County cannot require deed restrictions otherwise. Mr . Cardillo asked how this provision would affect the developers ' right to remove trees in residential lots? Ms. Muldoon responded that the developer could not remove trees on a residential lot. She noted that the PUD sta- tes that a developer must get a tree removal permit. Mr . Below noted there should be a stipulation which should make single-family buyers adhere to the same native vegetation landscaping plans-as a developer is required to submit . Dr . Benedict agreed that the single-family homeowner should have the same environmental awareness as a developer and should comply with the native vegetation landscaping plans. He recommended that the wording of Stipulation #2 include both the single-family homeowner and the developer; indicate deed restrictions and reflect that individual site permits be sent to NRMD. He noted that Staff should get together with Mr . Weigel to have appropriate modifi- cation wording for Stipulation #2 as previously indicated. ***** There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned by Order of the Chair .

'/ Natural Resources Specialist DATE: June 9, 1988 RE: Petition R-88-5C; Mr. Alan D. Reynolds of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soli , and Peek, Inc. , representing Show America Attractions, Inc. ; requesting a zoning change from C-3 to C-5 for a miniature golf course. Petitioner is requesting a zoning change from C 3 to C-5 for a 1 . 9 acre site, located between U. S. Route 41 , Outer Drive, and Thomasson Drive, for the construction of a miniature golf course. Such a use is permissible under the C-5 zoning classification (b. 1 . c) but not under the C-3 classification. The area has been greatly impacted in the past and is vegetatively dominated by a /�� graminoid ground cover with scattered slash pine (Pinus elligttii var. densa) . NRMD administratively approves petition R-88-5C subject to the four standard stipulations as adopted by the EAC on 4/1/87. ` 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. C. Edward Proffitt Director, Natural Resources Management FROM: James N. Burch Natural Resources Specialist DATE: 24 June 1988 RE: R-88-12C; William E. and Mary Ellen Stroble, requesting a zoning change from GC to RSF-3 for a single family residence. The property under consideration for rezone is a 0.24 acre tract on the southwest side of Forest Hills Boulevard 500 feet southwest of the intersection of Augusta Boulevard and Forest Hills Boulevard in Lely Golf Estates. The area is presently zoned for use as a golf course, but is apparently not functionally part of the existing course. The property appears to have been created with fill removed from the adjacent water management excavation. As filled and sodded residential upland, this tract is essentially without native edaphic or biological character. With this in consideration, the Natural Resources Management Department administratively approves petition R-8812C, subject to the four standard stipulations adopted by the Environmental Advisory Council on 4/1/87. 2 } #."."• MEMORANDUM[ TO: Dr .

Petitioner is requesting an amendment to allow two changes in the original PUD master plan. These changes are: /""" Itr tClient Pl�nt. Petitioner requests to relocate the interim treatment plant from the southwest corner of the property to the northwest corner. This change would place the treatment plant adjacent to Radio Road and will provide more efficient access to future county sewer lines, which will be accessed by Radio Road. The area is platted ultimately for multi-family residences. 2. Child Care Facility. Petitioner requests to provide this service as he plans to market the property to families. Such a facility, which is a permitted use (f ) under the PUD zoning classification, would satisfy the criterion for neighborhood commercial use.

Boggs of Bruce Green and Associates ` Inc . , representing Celebrity Golf Development ; requesting provisional use "C" of "C-4" for miniature golf. course. Considerations: The area under consideration for rezone is a 3.9 acre tract located on the northwest side of, and adjacent to U. S. 41 , about 1 . 3 miles south of the intersection of U. S. 41 and Rattlesnake Hammock Road . The rectangular site is surrounded on three sides e"" by commercial and residential development , and the fourth h ( southwestern) side borders Highway 41 . The proposed use of this area is a miniature golf course. The area was inspected on 24 June, 1988 by James N. Burch (NRMD) , and Mr . Joe Boggs , of Bruce Green and Associates, Inc . , Naples. This area appears to have been a low slash pine (Pi[us elliottii ) with palmetto (Serenoa repens) , and transitional pine/ cypress (Taxodium distichum) forest that has recently become stressed by the immediately surrounding development . The northern and eastern perimeters of the property are bordered by a drainage canal that feeds the Lely Canal north of the subject property. This drainage structure has apparently caused a decrease in ground water level in the surrounding properties, including the parcel in question. Non-native tree and shrub species, such as melaleuca (Melaleuca guinquenervie ) , acacia ( Acacia 1 _-° /'\ auriculaformis) , and Brazilian pepper ( Schinus terebinttiƒol ius ) are common among the native arborescents . Ground cover is nearly complete, consisting of various grass and weed species including bluestem (Andropoqon sp . ) muscadine grape (Vitis munsoniana ) , and pennyroyal (Piloblephis rigida) . The eastern part of the property has a lower elevation, and is more nearly dominated with cypress and other associated species , including occasional epiphytes. A small cypress habitat remnant in the southeastern corner of the lot has been proposed for use in the project ' s water management plans. NRMD recommends that the historic water level of this area be restored as part of storm water management designs for the project . The applicant ' s agent (Mr . J. Boggs) has related the owner ' s desire to produce a miniature golf facility that is comparatively environmentally compatible with the existing habitat . Conceptual plans include the use of minimal amounts of fill and the salvation of all possible canopy trees as landscape elements; understory and ground cover elements may also be saved whenever practical and possible. The petitioner is encouraged to follow plans similar to those that were related to NRMD , so that the project may retain as much native biological value as possible. With the above points under consideration, NRMD recommends approval of petition PU-88-l3Cr with the following stipulations: 1- 4. Standard stipulations as adopted by the EAC on 4/ 1/87. 5. Storm water management designs shall restore the historic. 2 ^_- / water levels in the remnant cypress habitat that is located in �� the northeastern corner of the property ; this area shall be maintained as a preserve . 6. Native epiphytes, such as air plants ( Tillandsi.Ja,. spp . ) o' orchids ( any ephytic members in the family Orchidaceae ) that exist in trees which must be cleared for development shell be relocated ioto compatible host trees within the cypress preserve a` ee .

Conclusions: 1 . Dr. Roessler: a. Some increases in nutrient loading in the golf course lakes (especially 6) . b. Since BOD and nutrient concentrations do not correlate, the operation of the golf course has not significantly changed the normal patterns c. The golf course and retention lakes are protecting Clam Bay estuarine system from runoff. 2. NRMD additional conclusion: a. Some evidence exists for trends of increasing nitrogen, phosphorus, and even pH in certain freshwater stations. b. More importantly, there is some evidence for increased nitrogen in estuarine stations. It is not known if the additional nitrogen ( if it indeed exists) is coming from the Pelican Bay drainage system or not. However, the system deserves further monitoring to ensure the continued viability of the estuarine ecosystem. 3. NRMD technical report 87-2 (Clam Bay benthos and seagrass) found: a. Outer Clam Bay (near DS-9) has considerable seagrass (Haldoule wriqhtii ) in the summer months. b. The benthic infaunal community is surprisingly depauperate relative to Johnson Bay (similar sediment and grass habitat) , and to west coast seagrass/sand estuaries in general . It is not known if this is a natural condition, or was an atypical year , or if some other factor influenced the benthos. c. Wading birds and fish abound in the bay. RECOMMENDATIONS The NRMD recommends approval of the petition with the following stipulations: 1 - 4 Standard EAC stipulations 5. Clearing in the rough areas of the golf course will be held to the minimum amount practical to retain as much native habitat as possible. 6. Water quality monitoring will continue. However, staff recommends that Westinghouse and PBID explore with the regulatory agencies the possibility of dropping certain autocorrelated parameters (and maybe adding some pesticide or metal monitoring) .

Roessler Tropical Biolndustries, Inc. 9869 East Fern Street Miami , FL 33157 May 5, 1988 After a meeting with Walter Carter of Westinghouse Community of Naples and John Petty of the Pelican Bay Improvement District, I was supplied with a hard copy of data on water quality at 15 stations in the Pelican Bay Improvement District. Additionally, graphic analyses of each parameter plotted against time for each station and graphs of the minimum, maximum, average, median, and standard deviation of each parameter and station were provided together with a map of the collecting stations. The hard data was converted to IBM compatible disk storage with a scanning digitizer. Particular difficulty was encountered because one's (1) were sometimes read as l 's and exclamation points ( ! ) , but universal search and replacement routine ' s cleansed the data. Additional problems were encountered with fives and sixes and rarely with sixes and eights. This required thorough proofreading of all the data sets. The data sets were noted to be incomplete with blanks representing missing observations. The data was edited to supply a character (?) which served to reserve a space in the statistical routines and avoided interpretation as an observation of zero units. Correlation coefficients were computed using the Matrix Calculating Engine (MACE) , a statistical package copyrighted by (MACE) Inc. , Madison, Wisconsin. The methods used are: Correlation and Regression The coefficient of correlation between any two variables, j and k, is computed as the following sum: [xij - meanj/ ( (nj - 1) * stddevj)1/2] * [xik - meank/ ((nk - 1) * stddevk)1/2] where xij represents the ith observation in variable j and xik represents the ith observation in variable k 2 meant• and meank represent the means of variables j and k stddevj and stddevk represent the standard deviations of variables j and k The sum is computed over i = 1 to n j = nk pairs of observations; nj and nk represent, respectively, the number of observations in variable j for which there is a corresponding observation in variable k. The matrix of correlation coefficients is the standardized variance-covariance matrix needed by regression procedures. The least squares estimates are obtained directly by evaluating the well known matrix equation. b = (x'x)-1x'y The inverse is calculated using the Bauer-Reinsch modification of the Gauss-Jordan method. This algorithm performs an in situ inversion of a positive definite symmetric matrix. See Algorithm 9 in J. C. Nash, Compact Numerical Methods for Computers: Linear Algebra and Function Minimisation, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1979. The 'pairwise option was used to maximize the use of the data set despite the large number of missing data. If further interpretation or predictions are attempted this option should be seriously examined because of bias it might introduce to the multiple correlation coefficients or regression slopes and intercepts.- The simple correlation coefficients among the stations for each of the variables was calculated allowing comparisons of the degree of relatedness in the pattern and magnitude of changes in parameters such as temperature, pH, conductivity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and biochemical oxygen demand. Additionally, simple correlation coefficients among the parameters for observations at all stations were computed to indicate sets of parameters which exhibited similar trends in concentration and pattern. 3 A priori knowledge of chemistry and ecology, coupled with the examination of the summary data for the period November 1981-February 1988 supplied by the Pelican Bay Improvement District would lead one to suspect the Lagoon would have high nutrients, high B.O.D. and low D.O. It might also be expected and indeed does exhibit far greater variance in most parameters. The Pelican Bay stations DS9, TS8, and TS7 are influenced by Gulf of Mexico water on flood tides and runoff on ebb tide especially in the rainy season. Thus conductivity and total dissolved solids have higher average concentration and higher variances than the more- upland development and golf course ponds. The "interceptor/bay hammock" stations DC13, F, PB13 and TS5 tend to have higher mean values and greater variances, but only TS5 is significantly higher than the upland stations. Apparently they are occasionally influenced by the estuarine waters of the Clam Bay system on extreme tides or storm events but are quickly flushed by upland runoff. Station PB11 , which tends to fall within the group of interceptor/bay-head stations based on conductivity, exhibited a high conductivity (37,000 micromhos/cm) in November 1981 and much lower values at all other times . It more appropriately should be considered fresh water in nature (see Figure 1). The mean temperature varies from 23.5 to 25.5 with no apparent cause except for the occurrence of missing observations in the data set and differences in depth of stations. The mean pH varied from a minimum of 6.8 to a maximum of 8.0. The Clam Bay stations are slightly more basic and better buffered due to the Gulf of Mexico influence (see Table 1 for a summary of the mean values of temperature, pH, TDS and nutrients). Several species of the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus were measured. Orthophosphate (that fraction believed most available to plant nutrition) appears to contribute the greatest percentage to the total phosphate pool .

Golf course lake G and upland lake DC13 show higher concentrations and more variability. The interceptor/bayhead stations seem normal to slightly high (see Figure 2) . The 1 relationship between mean total phosphorus concentration and variance indicates the distribution is not statistically normal , implying the use of parametric statistics without data transformation can lead to erroneous conclusions. The graphic analysis does strongly imply that occasional spikes in total phosphorus do occur (these may or may not be associated with fertilization or rainfall events) , but the phosphorus appears to be consumed or precipitated in situ and does not reach the Clam Bay system in excessive quantities. Nitrite contributes to the total nitrogen pool only at stations LAG and G. At all other stations it is found in quantities near the Ilower detection limit . Nitrate occurs in elevated mean concentrations (1.62 mg/1 ) at LAG, and varies from 0. 13 to .45 mg/1 — at all other freshwater stations. The Clam Bay stations only have 0.05-0.08 mg/1 . Ammonia follows a similar pattern , with a mean concentration of 1. 10 mg/1 at LAG and a range of 0.10-0.37 in freshwater stations and 0.08-0.09 mg/1 in Clam Bay. The Kjeldahl nitrogen (organic + nitrite + nitrate) shows similar patterns. The graph of total nitrogen (see Figure 3) indicates high concentrations and variance at the Lagoon, similar low concentrations (0.76-1.04 mg/1 ) at freshwater stations , somewhat higher values in the interceptor/bayhead stations (up to 1.62 mg/1 ) , and very low concentrations (0.39-0.50 mg/1 ) in Clam Bay. The biochemical oxygen demand, the total use of oxygen by bacteria, plants and animals should be related to ratio of photosynthesis to respiration, the availability of living and dead organic matter; availability of essential nutrients; relation between surface area and volume; and vertical mixing to supply dissolved oxygen from the atmosphere to meet the demand. • LA G- • r DS 9 -_ __ TS 8 . rti____L----- ,, TS All .

Total nitrogen (mg/l ) at stations in the Pelican Bay community, Naples, Florida. For legend see Figure 1. 9 The data (Figure 4) indicate a relatively high B.O.D. (5.2 mg/1 ) in — ,; the lagoon, somewhat elevated B.O.D. in the golf course ponds (1.9- 1 3.9 mg/1 ) over values (1.0-2.0) in the development lakes and higher (2.1-3.9 mg/1 ) values in the interceptor/bayhead and Clam Bay stations. Examination of the dissolved oxygen (Figure 5) data in contrast to the B.O.D. indicates only the interceptor/bayhead lakes have low (2.7-3.8 mg/1 ) mean concentrations. Thus it appears that while the golf course receives nutrients and has high B.O.D. the demand is met by photosynthesis and mixing in the shallow ponds coupled with maintenance to remove vegetation. The B.O.D. in the Clam Bay system does not stem from nutrient-induced plant growth but rather from detritus and respiration. Sufficient oxygen is supplied from tidal and density-induced mixing to maintain a healthy system. The interceptor/bayhead received nutrients, exhibits elevated B.O.D. and low dissolved oxygen. The nutrients and dead organic matter which was from the uplands into this sytem are assimilated by bacteria, marsh and swamp plants and the runoff through the mangroves into the Clam Bay system is altered to usable carbon and detritus food sources which do not overload the estuary. The interceptor waterway appears to function as proposed. In the following simple pairwise correlation coefficient data: 1. Station A Golf Course 2. Station B Golf Course 3.

For legend see Figure 1. 12 Thus the comparison - row 1, column 1 - is the simple correlation coefficient of the concentration of a parameter at station A against itself. Row 2, column 1 compares station A and B -- row 15, column 14 compares DC13 with DS9 and row 15, column 15 compares DC 13 with itself. With 30-50 replicates, a correlation coefficient of 0.25-0.3 or higher is significant in a single comparison . Multiple comparisons, of course , are not valid and reduce the level of confidence requiring an r of .80 or .90 to indicate significance. Tables 2 through 14 provide the results of the analyses. As indicated by the comparison of the summary statistics (mean , variance, etc. ) and the expected seasonal dynamics, the temperature is strongly correlated at all stations . Seasonal effects are represented in all of the stations at about the same rate. The pH appears similar at all stations except the Lagoon station, which exhibits trends opposite from the other stations, but not significantly so. Similarities in conductivity and total dissolved solids are confounded by different sources of solutes and processes which concentrate or dilute them. Although few stations cluster together, the overlap indicates a rather loose association of all stations, except DS9 (separate in the conductivity analysis) and IF3 (separate in the total dissolved solids analysis) . Isolation and hypersalinity at DS9 and isolation and low solutes at IF3 cause seasonal patterns which are atypical . The golf course lakes fall within the seasonal patterns shown by other stations. Analysis of means and variances show the concentration of solutes to be low. The dissolved oxygen concentrations at all stations are related to one another, although the Lagoon, golf course stations B and E, and interceptor/bayhead station PB13 are less closely affiliated with the j common patterns shown elsewhere.

The interceptor/bayhead station (PB 13) and the development lake station F have the least affinity for others in the group. P613 is only similar to the Lagoon, while F is only directly related to another development lake (PB10). , 'Total phosphate concentration in the Lagoon is higher than at other stations and generally this station shows a negative relation to other stations. The golf course stations do not cluster. Station E appears unique. Station A also shows no similarity to other stations_ butbehaves in opposition to development lake IF3. Station G receives considerable phosphate and appears similar to the Lagoon. Golf course station B appears similar to other development, bayhead and estuarine stations. The relation between mean and variance (heterogeneity) , abundance of observations with low values (skewedness) and frequency of missing values confound interpretation. However, while it appears that phosphate sometimes occurs in high — quantities , the D.O. discussed above does not appear to be artificially depressed. Orthophosphate is weakly intercorrelated. The low concentrations, sporadic occurrence and frequency of observations at the limit of detection hinder interpretation. The golf course lakes tend to be similar to one another and to estuarine stations. They are also related to interceptor/bayhead development lake stations and the Lagoon. Station G has somewhat higher concentrations but similar patterns to other stations. PB10 forms an isolated case. The development lakes also tend to cluster and to have low even distributions of orthophosphate. Total nitrogen shows a great deal of similarity over the entire project. All stations are similar. Kjeldahl nitrogen, the principal contributor to the total nitrogen , also shows complete interrelationships. Ammonia concentrations are also highly inter- correlated , however the Lagoon behaves differently, as expected. 27 Station G also is only indirectly related to other stations through its correlation with estuarine station TS8 and golf course station E. Nitrite concentrations are uniformly low (level of detection) at the Clam Bay stations DS9, TS7, TS8, and the bayhead/mangrove station TS5. They show similarity with development lake PB11. Golf course lake G and development lake IF show similar patterns but different means. Development lake PB10 is low and unique in pattern. all of the other stations form a cluster with similar affinities and dissimilarity from the Clam Bay stations. Nitrates generally show a great deal of intercorrelation. The Lagoon is different from most other stations but the wide variety of patterns will interrelate it. Clam Pass station TS8 shows affiliation with the interceptor/bayhead station PB13 east of it. All other stations are related in a large cluster. Finally, Table 15 represents the simple correlation coefficients among each of the 13 physico-chemical water quality parameters. Each parameter was measured at 15 stations over a 68 month period. Thus there is the potential of 1020 replicate measures on the sets of 13 parameters. Missing data in any pair of parameters reduces the true replicates to approximately 750. A simple correlation coefficient of 0.1 between two items with 750 replicates would be significant at the 5 percent level and for the multiple sets of 13, the 5 percent level of significance would be approximately r = 0.25. In the following matrix of correlation coefficients the order of parameters is as follows: 1. Temperature (°C) 2. pH 3. Total dissolved solids (TDS) - mg/1 4. Conductivity - micromhos/cm 5. Dissolved oxygen - mg/1 6. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) - mg/1 28 7. Nitrite - mg/1 8. Nitrate - mg/1 9. Ammonia - mg/1 10. Kjeldahl nitrogen - mg/1 11. Total nitrogen - mg/1 12. Orthophosphate - mg/1 13. Total phosphate - mg/1 References to row and column in the correlation matrix (Table 15) indicate the parameters as identified above. - The summary Table 15 indicates TDS and conductivity are virtually identical in patterns. The nitrogen species are highly correlated with one another and with phosphates. The ortho and total phosphorus are virtually identical . The negative correlation between nutrients and total dissolved solids (conductivity) reflects the consistently low nutrients found in the Clam Bay system. 29 Table 15.

However, assimilation in these lakes and the interceptor/bayhead buffer zone has maintained 1 excellent quality in the Clam Bay system. Examination of the simple correlation coefficients for the chemical parameters generally show the patterns (mostly seasonal ) are similar in shape and direction. The Lagoon (LAG) and station G show indications of close affinity which may indicate close observation of lake G is necessary. The conductivity and total dissolved solids show a more confused picture which reflects the different sources of solutes to different water bodies. Runoff, tides And storm events coupled with evapotranspiration cause differing responses in estuarine stations, upland lakes and isolated ponds inland of the mangrove but subject to occasional salt water influence and subsequent evaporation. Low concentrations of nutrients in many stations indicate nearly identical patterns, especially in the Clam Bay system. This results from real concentrations being below detectable limits. The analysis of the relationships among variables confirms TDS and conductivity are equivalent. They also demonstrate strong affiliation among the various species of nitrogen with an implication that TKN (Kjeldahl ) can serve as an indicator of all of the other nitrogen monitoring. The close correlation of ortho and total phosphate also indicates one measure (ortho) would adequately describe events being monitored. The lack of correlation between BOD and nutrients and between D.O. and nutrients indicates the fertilizing and golf course operation has air 4 31 not significantly changed the normal patterns nor rates of change of these variables. In conclusion , the golf course and development retention lakes, coupled with the interceptor waterway, are protecting the Clam Bay system and further expansion of similar design is expected to function in the same manner assuring good water quality. • ---r"` A#a Gh m e n ._�- .— ---- .1I ti t t \I itt it 1 ik 1V.5\ till .1J:t 1 _ --_ __- .-iii0.\ 4 „ii, ,,,,,,_ a .. � ti • • ,ro . \A41"'.e ‘714.*<./°-'6IIiI .

Spagna of Florida Urban Institute, Inc. , representing Anthony F. Jancigar; requesting a zoning change from A-2 and A-2 ST to PUD for interchange-related commercial uses. Considerations: The property under consideration for rezone is an 8. 87 acre rectangular parcel located on the south side of Pine Ridge Road (S. R. 896) , approximately 3/4 mile west of I 75 (818, T498, R26E) . Good Earth Drive (private road) and agriculturally-zoned land, some of which has an ST overlay, borders the property on the west. A borrow pit is located to the south. An undeveloped . i.0'm� parcel (rezoned as Pineridge Center PUD, R-86-22C) , similar in size and habitat to the subject property, is located to the east. The petitioner is requesting a rezoning of the -parcel from A-2 and A-2 ST to PUD ( "Pineridge Center West PUD" ) , for interchange- related commercial uses. The site was inspected by Andrea Stevens (NRMD) on June 23, 1988, accompanied by Neno Spagna of Florida Urban Institute, Inc. The parcel is at an average elevation of 10 feet, and soils on site have been identified as Arzell Fine Sand and Keri Fine Sand. Most of the property is fallow agricultural land, which was historically used for tomato farming and grazing. The northwest corner of the parcel has an ST overlay of the designated A-2 zoning. Bordering roadways (Pine Ridge Road and /Th Good Earth Drive) have disrupted historical water flow through . . ,--- m�on�w�m�.- ~~/ w Staff Report „.....\... -� EAC Meeting 7/6/88 Page 2 . this ST area, resulting in considerable lowering of the water table, and subsequent exotic invasion. Encroaching melaleuca (Mplalguc2 guingugngE ) has become dominant, and only scattered cypress (Taxgdiu[D distichum, 4" 6" DBHs) remain in the area. Slash pines (Pinus elligttii var. dense, 6" 10" DBHs) are becoming established in this northwestern corner, with understory and groundcover vegetation which includes Brazilian pepper (Schillgg tpEgbiEthifgliug.) , wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) , swamp fern (Blp.ohaqm �e.Erultum) , fox grape (yitis spp. ) , and various grasses. Outside the ST area, the habitat of the northern half of the �.N parcel is made up of a predominance of shrub layer vegetation. Two or three former hedge rows cross the property, and support a dense growth of saw palmetto (Ser.eng.1 EgEgri�) , with gallberry (Ilex glabc11) , wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) , and small cabbage Palms (S0bal PalMgttg) . Between these palmetto patches, the groundcover includes such pioneer species as fox grape (Vitis spp. ) , poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) , and greenbriar (SMila spp. ) . Infrequent occurrences of dahoon holly (Ilp . casg,ing) and saltbush (BacghaEig h�limifgli�) were noted. The southern half of the parcel supports an open canopy of slash pine (6"-10" DBHs) , with a scattering of small cypress (4"- 6" DBHs) . Small islands of palmetto make up the only shrub layer `~ vegetation in this area, with a groundcover dominated by various /-N, grasses, some pennyroyal (pilgblgahis rigid2) , and St. John' s —'~ `° „a - Staff Report "w"\ EAC Meeting //6/88 Page 3 Wort (Hypericum spp. ) . One inactive gopher tortoise burrow was found on the southern half of the parcel . Along the property boundaries abutting Good Earth Drive and Pine Ridge Road, Brazilian pepper is abundant . Lxotic infestation over the remainder of the parcel is limited to the melaleuca in the ST area. Recommendations: Although most of the parcel has been impacted by agricultural activities, and presently supports mostly pioneer species and second-growth communities, there is still ample opportunity for the petitioner to incorporate or transplant �� individual • trees into proposed landscape areas of the development. The NRMD recommends approval of petition R 88-11C, subject to the following stipulations: 1-4. Standard Stipulations 1-4, as adopted by the EAC on 4/1/87. S. The petitioner shall , where feasible, transplant native shrub and tree species such as wax myrtle, dahoon holly, and cabbage palm, into landscape areas of the development. 6. The necessary procedures for gopher tortoise relocation : (Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission) shall be „ followed in the event a gopher tortoise is found on site.

Stephen, of Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc. , representing Marina South, Inc. ; requesting a zoning change from MHRP and RMF-6 to PUD for a planned multi-family residential development and yacht club. Cgrlidgr�tigr:Ig: The area under consideration is a rectangular parcel of 16. 5 acres located adjacent to Fern Street and the Windstar PUD. The parcel is bordered to the north by Windstar, to the east by Fern Street, and to the south by RMh 6 zoned land along Danford /-N. Avenue. The land to the west of the parcel , also owned by the petitioner, lies within the Naples city limits and is situated along the eastern shoreline of Naples Bay. This area, zoned for residential single family units, is also part of the proposed development (R25E, T50S, 823) (5. 0` NGVD) . A site visit was conducted on 20 June 1988 by Mr. Keith Edwards (NRMD) . The proposed development will be located on the site of the former Jackson Fish Camp, which was established in 1950. The camp provided fuel , docking, and marina facilities as well as lodging facilities in the form of cottages and mobile homes. One remaining cottage exists on an island within the Naples city limits. The parcel currently consists of heavily disturbed ,~� uplands and a boat basin with 72 boat slips. The boat slips, a permitted use under the MHRP zoning classification, were 1 ^ ..... ~~~ Staff Report EAC Meeting 7/06/88 | Page 2 constructed in 1986. The parcel has access to Naples Bay via an existing 900 foot channel having a 50 foot bottom width at elevation -8. 0' NSVD The existing channel configuration, consisting of north and south channels and a rounded inner basin in which a small island is located, was excavated in 1984. Entrance into the boat basin from Naples Bay is by the north channel only, as a low bridge spans the southern channel from the southern edge of the parcel to the small island located within the Naples city limits, on which the remaining cottage is situated. /Th. The area has been heavily disturbed in the past due to the existence of the fish camp and the latter channel excavation • activities. The upland area is mostly devoid of vegetation except for weedy, disturbance groundcover species. The few canopy specimens present consist of scattered slash pine (pinus plligttii var. densa) , cabbage palm (S,12:b0 pal[DRttg) , and australian pine (Casuarina eguisetifglia) . Three oak trees (Quprggs spp. ) are located in the northern half of the upland area. Red mangroves (Rhizophgra maggle) grow along the northern boundary of the property and the banks of the northern channel . Scattered palmettos (Ser:engg Eeppris) constitute the sparse understory layer, along with several brazilian peppers (Schinus terebinthifglius) . Weedy groundcover species form '-'• the majority of the vegetation on site. Dominant species in the groundcover include grape vine (yitis pAnsgniana) , coast 2 ~' ^ ~—N Staff Report EAC Meeting 7/06/88 Page 3 sandspur (Cenchrus incertus) , ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifglia) , railroad vine ( I[lgoea pga.:::g@.pcg var. brasiliensis) , dog fennel (Eqptgrium gpillifglium) , and assorted graminoids. | he small 1 island in the boat basin is also dominated by weedy groundcover species, such as ragweed, coast sandspur, and graminoids, and is lacking in any canopy or understory vegetation. A small vegetation island occurs along the eastern edge of the property near the entrance from Fern Street. Dominant species within this island include wax myrtle (Myricg, cerifera) , groundsel (Baccharis halimifglia) , brazilian pepper, and blechnum e^N fern (Blechnum �211:12 (4�) . A large cajeput (M0.gleLlc� guinguenervia) also grows in this area. The parcel is underlain by Immokalee and St. Lucie fine sands, as well as mangrove peat. A continuing concern is the water and sediment quality of the boat basin, channels, and adjacent areas of Naples Bay, since the area has been, and will most likely continue to be, used as a marina facility. Therefore, petitioner was required to perform, and submit the results of , sediment chemical analyses of the boat basin, both channels, and adjacent areas of Naples Bay contiguous to the project site. Sediment samples were taken from seven �''s points on February 2, 1988 (Figure 1 ) . Results are presented in Appendix 1 . The tests specifically looked at concentrations of 3 ~^, ^ ~-s, Staff Report / EAC Meeting 7/06/88 Page 4 | several heavy metals (aluminum, copper, and cadmium) , other metals associated with boat paints (mercury and organic tin) , and several biological factors (dissolved oxygen and total organic . carbon) . In addition, the tests monitored for the Environmental Protection Agency' s 610 compounds. The 610 designation refers to a gas chromatographic method for determining concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons that are the breakdown products of petroleum compounds. Interpretation of the results was done by Mr. Mac Hatcher of the Collier County Environmental Science and Pollution Control Department . According to Mr. Hatcher, both the heavy metal and boat paint metal concentrations e""s were within the limits set for clean estuaries. Results of the 610 gas chromatography determinations also showed hydrocarbon concentrations were within limits set for clean water. One of the compounds, benzo (A) anthracene, did show high levels in several of the test sites (3-/) . However, Mr. Hatcher stated that these results were probably caused by contaminants either in the samples or within the gas chromatograph, as benzo (A) anthracene was the only breakdown product to register amounts high enough to be detected by the chromatograph. It would be expected that at least several of the other compounds would be present if petroleum contamination of the sediments had actually occurred. ~+ . �~. Staff Report EAC Meeting 7/06/88 Page 5 ReggM1122nda.tignP: The uplands area has been extensively disturbed in the past ! . as evidenced by the preponderance of weedy herbaceous species on site. However, several native canopy species, such as slash pine, oak, cabbage palm, and wax myrtle, are present and should be included in the landscape plan. As stated previously, water and sediment quality of the boat basin and adjacent waters is a continuing concern. The PUD master plan specifically denies on site commercial marina activities, such as boat sales, maintenance, or painting. The existence of fuel facilities, though, are not mentioned as either permitted or prohibited /-\. structures. Mr. Jim Davis of Coastal Engineering Consultants stated his belief that, since these facilities are not specifically identified as permitted structures, they are prohibited. Omission of such activities will help to insure against the possibility of a petroleum leak and contamination of these waterways. Runoff from the boat basin island, which is planned to directly enter the boat basin, should not contain any petroleum contaminants since no part of the island will be paved nor vehicular traffic allowed. However, the use of fertilizers and other chemicals should be kept to a minimum on the island since the runoff would probably contain higher than normal nutrient levels. /-"N Considering the previously stated points, NRMD recommends approval of this petition with the following stipulations: 5 ��- ~ p� Staff Report EAC Meeting 7/06/88 Page 6 1-4.
