Stiles, Trustee REQUESTING: A PUD amendment to "Stiles Corporation" PUD. COMMENTS: Petition was administratively approved by NRMD. There were no comments regarding sub- "' ject petition. ***** PETITION NO: R-87-23C; Dr. Neno J. Spagna of Florida Urban Institute, Inc. , representing Hubschman Associates; requesting a zoning change from "E" to PUD Edenwood. COMMENTS: Dr . Proffitt advised that this petition was placed inadvertently on today' s agenda. ***** PETITION NO. R-88-3C/PU-88-8C FILED BY/FOR: Craig S . and Carole H. Smith REQUESTING: A zoning change from "A-2" to "RO" for recreational facilities, and a Provisional Use "0" for sports facilities. COMMENTS: Mr. Craig Smith of Naples Progressive Center , stated that he is requesting approval of sub- ject petition, noting that he has been in Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 meetings with Staff , and is in agreement with their guidelines. Mr. Edwards advised that the area has been heavily disturbed in the past , noting the pre- ponderance of Brazilian pepper on site. He stated that the presence of scattered slash pine, wax myrtle and palmetto could be used for landscaping, adding that the eastern edge of the parcel is comprised with wax myrtle, bald cypress and figs, and it appears that this eastern boundary is an extension of the "ST" zoned wetland. He further advised that a smaller wetland is located in the southern portion of the site, approximately 30 ' -70 ' north of Pine Ridge Road, and sawgrass is dominant in the western end of the wetland. Mr. Edwards stated that NRMD recommends appro- val of this petition, subject to the following 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. A site clearing plan shall be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Department for their review and subject to approval prior to any work on the site. This plan may be sub- mitted in phases to coincide with the develop- ment 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 subject 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 Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 the re-creation of native vegetation and habi- tat 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 development , a maintenance program shall be implemented to prevent reinvasion of the site by such exotic species. This plan, which will describe control techniques and inspec- tion intervals, shall be filed with and sub- ject to approval by the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division. 4 . If , during the course of site clearing, exca- vation, or other constructional activities, an archaeological or historical site, artifact , or other indicator is discovered, all develop- ment 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 salvageabi- lity. The Natural Resources Management Department will respond to any such notifica- tion in a timely and efficient manner so as to provide only a minimal interruption to any constructional activities. 5 . Petitioner shall incorporate the cypress area on the eastern border of the property into the water management plan as a retention area. This area, an extension of the "ST" zoned wetlands east of the parcel , shall be designated as a preserve area. Petitioner shall amend the site plans to accommodate this area, and shall also flag the wetland boundary before development occurs. Delineation of the boundary shall be submitted to NRMD for review. 6. Petitioner shall incorporate the smaller, ditch wetland into the water management plan as a retention area. Water flow shall be Page 4 • ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4 , 1988 directed into the wetland so as to improve its viability as a wetland. The area shall be designated as a preserve area. The driveway shall be placed over the eastern end of the ditch in a way so to minimize any adverse affects that construction would have on the wetland. In answer to Dr. Benedict , Mr. Craig responded that there will be culverts on the site to allow the water to flow. Dr. Benedict stated that there are a lot of exotics around the border of this site, noting that when the Community School went in, the exotics were moved out to restore that area, and questioned whether Mr. Craig would be willing to do this. Mr. Craig replied affir- matively. Dr. Benedict suggested that additional wording be added to Stipulation No. 5 , the second sen- tence: "This area, an extension of the "ST" zoned wetlands east of the parcel , shall be cleared of all exotics and designated as a preserve area. " He also suggested adding "dry" before "retention" in the first sentence of Stipulation No. 6 . MO_T_ION_: Made by Dr. Benedict to approve Petitions R-88-3C/PU-88-8C, subject to Staff Stipulations, and modifications which were made accordingly. Seconded by Mr. Below. Carried 5/0. ***** PETITION NO. R-88-4C FILED BY/FOR: Charles L. Shumway of First Plaza Corporation of Naples, Inc . REQUESTING: A rezone change from RSF-1 to PUD "Hidden River" COMMENTS: Ms. Ellin Goetz , Landscape Architect , advised that the proposed project will establish zero lot line, single-family housing with building sharing an adjacent property line. She stated that visits to the site during the rains of June, 1987 , revealed no signs of standing water . Page 5 • ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Mr . Gary Beardsley of Tropical Environmental Systems referred to his data packet , stating that the vegetation analysis should also include reference to cypress, adding that the property lies along a cypress area and extends to the north. He stated that the site is bounded on the north, south and east by a canal . He further advised that observations of the moss lines indicate that the site does not have standing water . Ms. Stevens stated that the northern half of the property and parts of the southern portion support second-growth flatwoods , dominated by slash pine with diameters up to 10" , adding that understory vegetation includes holly, coco plum, Brazilian pepper, remnant cypress and a few cabbage palms. She indicated that a trail crosses the property from east to west and there are several vegetative communities south of this trail are within the flood terrace of the Rock Creek tributary and sup- port wetland indicator species. She advised that many of the cypress are buttressed and moss lines indicate levels of standing water during the wet season ranging from 0"-6" , and shallow depressions on the soil surface iden- tify areas of wet season pools of standing water . She noted understory and groundcover vegetation indicative of wetland conditions, i .e . wax myrtle, blechnum fern, pennywort and sawgrass. She added that upland vegetation includes wild coffee, scattered cabbage palm, and fox grape, which indicates the beginning of a transition of this habitat to a drier ecotype, and a lack of frequent fire effects. Ms . Stevens referred to the Staff Report , making reference to the U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service ' s definition of wetlands, and advised that the County designates this area as wetlands. Mr . Glenn Caudill of Anchor Engineering, in response to Ms . Kurgis, indicated that the lake on site is necessary to retain the runoff and is of typical size, 15% of the total site . Mr . Caudill stated that the water management wet season table indicates 5 ' ngvd, and Page 6 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Anchor ' s topo confirms that existing ground is 8 ' average and during the wet season, there will be roughly 3 ' from the existing ground to the wet season watertable, adding that he cannot believe there will be standing water on the site during the wet season, for any period of time. He advised that the site is less than 40 acres and without the lake or adequate amount of storage could result in the roads and house being 1 ' -2 ' higher, thus requiring additional fill which would kill the existing vegetation. Dr. Benedict indicated that he feels there will be extensive use of the site, with mini- mal setbacks and rear yards and precludes saving any natural features of the site. Mr. Caudill noted that he does realize that the site lacks creativity regarding the layout , adding that other options have been looked at , but due to the parameters of the drainage easement on three sides and trying to connect to the existing roads, these options are limited in meeting water management and economic criteria. Mr. Beardsley, in answer to Dr. Benedict , stated that with a development of this size, the developer has the ability to place deed restrictions on the property, to ensure that as much vegetation as possible will be saved. Chairman Cardillo questioned how much of the property will remain "untouched"? Ms. Goetz replied that the open space easement is the only portion of the site which will be totally untouched, adding that in the development of the individual lots, the type of building selected is one which would minimize disrup- tion of that particular lot . Mr . Charles Shumway indicated that the concept of this project is to create affordable housing for first time buyers, with beautiful vegetation preserved as much as possible, with costs in the high $70 ' s to low $80 ' s, and the topped price units consisting of 3 bedrooms and a den for $120,000 -$130, 000 . Page 7 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Ms. Kurgis suggested alternatives regarding saving the NRMD wetland by decreasing the size of the lake from 2% acres into a 1 acre lake and preserve the other 1% acre of the wetland and shift some of the lots down to the dry area. Mr . Beardsley replied that all options are being considered and the biggest issue is whether this feature has water for days on end, the "battle zone" would be shifted back to wetland and would favor the cypress and the wetland plants and stress the pines . Mr. Shumway referred to Stipulation No. 5 , stating that his consultants feel this is not a wetland area, and disagree with it . He added that if he is correct on No. 5 , Stipulation No. 6 is superfluous. With regard to Stipulation No . 7 , Mr . Shumway indicated he has a real problem, noting that he feels he has the right to go the Planning Commission and to make the same arguments and continue to the Board of County Commissioners . Planner Nadeau, in response to Dr . Snyder, advised that the current zoning on subject property is RSF-1 , and allows one dwelling unit per acre to be built . Dr . Snyder inquired as to the 5 ' mean high water level and questioned how much of the time the water was above the 5 ' and asked how it was calculated? Mr . Caudill replied that the elevation would exceed the 5 ' elevation during and after a rainfall event , but during the dry season the average elevation would drop down to 3 ' , and stated the calculations were made during the wet season with a hole being dug to determine the point at which the water infiltrates that hole and measure down from the existing ground. Planner Nadeau, in answer to Dr. Benedict , stated that current zoning of subject property allows for 15 single-family homes, adding that 60 dwelling units are proposed in this plan, which would be 3 . 9 dwelling units per acre. Page 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Mr . Ross MacIntosh of Investment Properties Corporation and representing the current owner of subject property, stated that there seems to be two opinions as to whether or not active wetlands exist . He noted that if it is believed that active wetlands do exist on the property, it must be realized that the water levels in the ditches, over extended periods of time, during the rainy season, are up above the ground level , but noted this is not occurring. Mr. Below stated that he feels subject project is of poor design and will heavily impact an area that is not impacted heavily by a lot of other residences. MOTION: Made by Ms. Kurgis to deny Petition R-88-4C on the bases that the wetlands should be incorported, the density is too high for the area and the wetlands should be preserved. Seconded by Dr. Snyder. Carried 5/0. ***** Recess 10:25 A.M. - Reconvened 10:35 A.M. ***** PETITION NO. R-87-4OC FILED BY/FOR: Q. Grady Minor of Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A. representing Woodfield Lakes Partnership, LTD REQUESTING: A zoning change from PUD to PUD for residential and commercial use. COMMENTS: Mr . Minor stated that Woodfield Lakes is located east on U. S . 41 and S .R. 951 and abuts the Marco Island water supply. He added that the site fronts on S .R. 951 , is 400 ' removed from U. S . 41 on the north side and the back line is the Henderson Creek Canal . He stated that the site consists of 74 acres and is zoned for 451 dwelling units. He noted that the petitioner ' s request is also for PUD for the same number of dwelling units but in a more traditional condominium style, two-story buildings, and they are also requesting 5 Page 9 • ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4 , 1988 acres of commercial zoning which abuts S.R. 951 that will be compatable with the County' s C-3 Zoning. He further stated it is proposed to perserve the "ST" area. Ms. Stevens advised that the site consists of widely spaced slash pines, saw palmetto, and cabbage palms, and various grasses dominate groundcover which provides an open canopy and very dry conditions. She noted that the northwest portion of the property is a cypress community, which extends across the width of the parcel , and includes several open grassy areas with a mixture of cypress , slash pine, palmetto, and cabbage palm. She stated that there are patches of fern, sawgrass, and lily throughout the southwest portion of the impacted cypress community and the NRMD con- siders this area a marginally functional wetland. She added that the southeastern half of the parcel supports several drier areas with mature oaks, some with 14" diame- ters, and should be incorporated into the landscape plans of this project . She advised that the NRMD recommends approval of subject petition with the following 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. A site clearing plan shall be submitted to the Natural Resources Management Department for their review and subject to approval prior to any work on the site . This plan may be sub- mitted in phases to coincide with the develop- ment 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 Page 10 • ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4 , 1988 Community Development Division for their review and subject 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 habi- tat 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 development , a maintenance program shall be implemented to prevent reinvasion of the site by such exotic species. This plan, which will describe control techniques and inspec- tion intervals , shall be filed with and sub- ject to approval by the Natural Resources Management Department and the Community Development Division. 4. If , during the course of site clearing, exca- vation, or other constructional activities, an archaeological or historical site, artifact , or other indicator is discovered, all develop- ment 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 salvageabi- lity. The Natural Resources Management Department will respond to any such notifica- tion in a timely and efficient manner so as to provide only a minimal interruption to any constructional activities. 5 . The boundaries of the "ST" preserve area shall be flagged by the petitioner , and subject to the review and approval of NRMD. The area shall be fenced off prior to development acti- vity. Only conservation-oriented uses, approved by NRMD, will be allowed in this pre- serve area. 6 . The petitioner shall consult the U.S . Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida State Page 11 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) concerning the possibility of their wetlands jurisdiction over some areas on site. 7 . In the Site Development Plan process, the petitioner shall make every effort to incor- porate mature oak trees in their existing locations into the project landscaping. This may require the relocation of buildings, parking areas, or other impervious surfaces to allow for the preservation of the trees. Oaks which cannot be accommodated as such, may be transplanted by knowledgeable personnel to other areas on site. 8 . Littoral zones of the lakes shall maintain a slope of 4 : 1 to a depth of 4 feet . All lit- toral zones shall be revegetated with native aquatic species, and the encroachment of exo- tic vegetation in these areas shall be controlled. Dr. Benedict questioned the mitigation of 1 acre altered to 34 acre mitigation, to which Mr . Grady replied it was at the request of the South Florida Water Management District . Ms. Stevens stated that she spoke with Dick Workman and he advised that in order to play it safe there should be some type of mitigation in areas he felt were wetlands. MOTION: Made by Dr. Benedict to recommend approval R-87-40C, subject above stipulations. Seconded by Mr. Below. Carried unanimously. ***** PETITION NO. STD-87-6C FILED BY/FOR: Shell Western E & P, Inc . REQUESTING : Permission for 96 miles of seismic lines through various wetlands in the Big Cypress National Preserve in Collier County. COMMENTS : Dr. Tom Herbert of T. A. Herbert & Associates, agent for Shell Western stated that Shell is Page 12 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 conducting work presently under a provisional "ST" , adding that there are 21 State and Federal inspectors on site with the crews, noting that all of the conditions and stipula- tions that have been placed on the operation by the National Park Service and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulations meet or exceed all of the conditions requested in the previous seismic applications. He indi- cated that Staff will visit the site this afternoon. He advised that the work is moving along very smoothly and quickly, with minimal impacts, and is being monitored by Federal and State observers, noting that one of the stipu- lations regarding the Federal Permit is that the Park Service shall agree to perform a con- tinuing survey that will extend for an addi- tional year to look at the longer term environmental impacts. He stated that por- table, much less impacted equipment is being used than was previously used. Dr . Proffitt advised that this is basically the same type of work as that in the original "ST" permit , adding that Staff is quite pleased with the low impacted equipment , etc. He inicated that 149 acres will be impacted, noting that some of this acreage is in Dade and Monroe Counties. He indicated that the accumulative impacts must be accounted for and also what the projected affects of another massive oil program will be. He advised that NRMD is recommending approval, subject to the same stipulations that were attached last summer . He noted that several under 20 acre "ST" Permits have been issued so that work could begin on the edge of parts of the Preserve. Dr. Herbert suggested that that the County adopt the Federal and State permit conditions as its guidelines, noting that they are quite stringent . Dr. Snyder stated that he is in agreement with Dr. Herbert ' s suggestion, but noted that NRMD' s Stipulation No. 2 should remain, as it is more specific to the County' s concerns. Dr. Benedict stated that Shell Western has made great efforts to deal with the potential Page 13 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 environmental impact of this project , but indicated he has concerns regarding going for- ward with further exploration which could lead to further drilling in other areas of the Big Cypress , prior to the approval of the Big Cypress Management Plan, and also the cumula- tive impacts, and indicated that for these reasons, he will be voting against approval . Dr . Herbert advised that based on the way that Shell operates, they will conduct seismic activity to determine if an area is perspec- tive, noting that many areas will be ruled out , thus taking the pressure off of many sen- sitive areas . He noted that Shell management understands the cumulative impacts and they are willing to work with the Park Service in preparing documentation for EIS ' s . Dr . Proffitt stated that through the studies Shell is making, information is being gathered that will be valuable to the County' s decision making in the future. Dr. Snyder advised that he is employed by the National Park Service, therefore, he will be abstaining from casting his vote regarding subject petition. MOTION: Made by Mr. Cardillo to deny Petition STD-87-6C. Seconded by Dr. Benedict. Carried 4/0 (Dr. Snyder abstained) . ***** ITEM: Addenda of Agenda - Extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road to S.R. 951 COMMENTS : Dr . Benedict stated that as the County' s Road Program continues to develop, he feels that the same concerns that are imposed on develo- pers, home owners, etc. should be incor- porated into the County' s proposals to ensure that : 1 . The minimal amount of wetlands are disturbed. 2 . There will be adequate mitigation. Page 14 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 Dr. Proffitt advised that Ms. Muldoon walked subject site when alignment of the roadway was taking place , and chose the line of the least impact , adding that Staff has suggested con- sultants which could be used for appropriate- ness . sssss ITEM: Action on EAC Policies and Scope COMMENTS : With reference to Page 1 , Paragraph 1 . 01 , Item #3 , Dr . Benedict stated that the "water manage- ment and" should be deleted. Dr. Proffitt agreed, advising that this was an oversight . Dr . Benedict suggested that a semi-colon be inserted after each category of expertise in Paragraph 1 . 02 . With regard to Paragraph 3 .04 4) "Administrative Approvals" , Dr. Benedict suggested replacing this with "List of Administratively Approved Projects" . Dr . Benedict stated that the first "and" in Paragraph 4. 01 B should be deleted. Dr . Benedict suggested adding the following to Paragraph 4 .02 , last sentence: . . . "projects in or in proximity to habitats of environmental concern or involving species of environmental concern. " Dr . Benedict questioned the format of the signature page (Page 10) , to which Dr . Proffitt replied that Attorney Weigel advised that the Policies and Scope will be adopted along with the Ordinance, and therefore, requires the signature page . MOTION: Made by Dr. Benedict to incoporate the changes as discussed above to the Policies and Scopes. Seconded by Dr. Snyder. Carried 5/0. Page 15 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 4, 1988 sssss There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned by Order of the Chair. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL John P.
