ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD STAFF REPORT MEETING OF MAY 6, 1998 I. NAME OF PETITIONER/PROJECT: Petition No.: EX 59.636 Petition Name: Stan Weeks Homesite& Commercial Excavation Applicant/Developer: Stan Weeks Engineering Consultant: Stan Weeks Environmental Consultant: none II. LOCATION: The Subject Property is located on the South side of 66th Ave. N.E., approximately one(1) mile East of Everglades Blvd. The site is on the West bank of the Faka Union Canal, approximately 1 mile south of the canal's north terminus at Immokalee Road. The legal description is Tract 122 of Golden Gate Estates Unit 43, S 28,T 47 S,R 28 E,Collier County, Florida. III. DESCRIPTION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: ZONING DESCRIPTION N -Road&E 66th Ave. N.E. S - E Vacant E - Canal &E Faka Union Canal W - E Vacant IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Property Owner intends to excavate a 1.9 acre lake on 5.6 acres of"Estates"zoned property. The Lake will be a widening of the neighboring canal,which is owned and maintained by the SFWMD,who have no objection to the excavation. EAB Meeting May 6, 1998 EX. 59.636 Page 2 Plan of Record: Water Management: "A Lagoon for Stanley& Sandra Weeks"Tract 122,Unit 43, G.G. Estates, Dated 3/6/98 gBy Stan Weeks and Associates, Inc. Environmental: Same V. STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: Digging a 1.9 acre lake on 5.6 acres of Estates zoned property raises no substantial engineering issues at all. The cast mound from the original canal excavation indicates deep sand throughout the area. The old soils map of Collier County showed the area as Pompano fine sand, a designation that has been phased out. The new map shows the area as Immokalee fine sand. Both sands are described as "deep". Pompano f.s. was described as "poorly drained,but rapid internal drainage when freed from high water table."Immokalee f.s. still is described as having rapid internal drainage. The excavation of the Golden Gate canal system is most likely responsible for lowering the water table in the area. The proximity of the canal to this property means that the water table closely conforms to the canal elevation. Widening the canal by 100 feet for a length of 500 feet will only cause benefits to the aquatic population in periods of low water table elevation, and the increased depth will make maintenance of that portion of the canal unnecessary for longer periods of time. In all, staff likes the concept, and thinks that the finished product would be a more attractive house lot. The amount of fill hauled offsite (not used for house pad) is relatively small. EAB Meeting May 6, 1998 EX. 59.636 Page 3 Environmental: The site is the location of a previous violation. Clearing and hauling of material offsite was started without permits. The matter was resolved over a year ago. At present no violation exists. VI. RECOMMENDATIONS: Water Management& Environmental: That the E.A.B. approve EX 59.636 with the following stipulations: 1. The excavation shall be limited to a bottom elevation of 16 ft.below existing grade. 2. Off-site removal of material shall be subject to "Standard Conditions" imposed by the Transportation Services Division in document dated 5/24/88 (copy attached). 3. No blasting will be permitted unless issued a separate permit by Collier County Project n Plan Review, however,blasting appears to be unnecessary. 4. If trees are to be removed as a result of the excavating operation, a Tree Removal Permit, required by Ordinance No. 92-73,Division 3.9 shall be obtained from Collier County Project Plan Review before work shall commence. 5. A lake littoral zone may be created and planted if desired by the SFWMD. 6. All provisions of Collier County Ordinance No. 93-73,Division 3.5 shall be adhered to. 7. A 20 ft. maintenance easement dedicated to the SFWMD shall be provided around the perimeter of the lake. _EAB Meeting May 6, 1998 Z.X 59.636 Page 4 PREPARED BY: IAP /3 R 38 Stan Chrzanowski .E.

CHANGE: Add exceptions to special treatment(ST) overlay section of the land development code for administrative approval by the development services director for oil and gas surveys and testing with only temporary site alterations and water management berms and structures for the protection and/or enhancement of ST areas as approved by the South Florida Water Management District. REASON: The proposed amendment will allow the development services director to administratively approve special treatment (ST) permits involving only minor site alterations. Proposed exceptions include site alterations which are either temporary in nature or required by the South Florida Water Management District. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: The proposed amendment will save staff time in n preparing staff reports and presenting petitions to the CCPC and BCC. The applicants will save time in obtaining special treatment(ST)permits. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: None affected. 2.2.24.8. Exceptions. Where land has an ST designation and the proposed alteration or development area contains 20 acres or less in gross area, and where no transfer of development rights are involved, the development services director may approve a site alteration plan or a site development plan. Prior to such approval, the development services director shall make a finding that the following conditions exist: -1,A The proposed site alteration or site development plan will not require any modification, with the exception of exotic vegetation removal, of the topography, drainage, flora, or fauna on the site. 2:b Single-family principal structure where the proposed site alteration or site development plan will not require any significant modification of topography, drainage, flora, or fauna on the site, or where the alteration involves the renovation or replacement of a n single family structure. Significant modification shall mean greater than ten percent of the site. 3,c. No pollutants will be discharged from the area that will degrade the air, water or soil below the levels existing at the time of application. d. Water management berms and structures (for the protection and/or enhancement of ST areas) which are of the minimum dimensions approved by the South Florida Water Management District. Oil and gas geophysical surveys and testing with only temporary site alterations and subject to applicable federal. state and county approvals.

The site shall be restored as required by federal, state and county permits within 90 days of the start of the project. All other site alteration or site development plan approvals of any size shall be as required in sections 2.2.24.4, 2.2.24.5, and 2.2.24.6. 2.2.24.8.LDC AMENDMENT/SL/md/H:MARIE'S LDC ORIGIN: Community Development&Environmental Services AUTHOR: Barbara S. Burgeson, ES II DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC PAGE: 3:130 LDC SECTION: 3.9.5.2.6. CHANGE: Language added to Section 3.9.5.2.6. to allow for an exception to the quantity and size of the replacement vegetation. REASON: To encourage property owners and managers to remove non-native plant species, which have invasive growth habits, by reducing the replacement size from caliper for caliper to a 1:1 ratio at the mitigation sizes listed in Section 3.9.5.5.4. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: None. 3.9.5.2.6. Protected vegetation proposed for removal is non-native. Replacement of non-native vegetation shall be with native vegetation of comparable caliper and area and shall be subject to the approval of the development services director or his/her designee. In the event that comparable caliper or diameter at breast height(DBH)vegetation is not available, smaller dbh trees that total the requisite caliper may be substituted. Under no circumstances will a tree or shrub less than the minimum size requirement for landscaping be accepted. (Exceptions will be granted for removal of non-native vegetation as listed in Sections 2.4.4.9-2.4.4.11. The replacement requirement for this vegetation shall be on a 1:1 basis. using the minimum mitigation size criteria listed under Section 3.9.5.5.4.) Replacement native vegetation shall be planted within 14 calendar days of removal. 3.9.5.2.6.LDC AMENDMENT/BSB/md/H:MARIE'S LDC ORIGIN: Community Development&Environmental Services AUTHOR: Barbara S. Burgeson, ES II and Robert J. Mulhere AICP,Planning Services Director DEPARTMENT: Planning Services LDC PAGE: 3:132 LDC SECTION: 3.9.5.5.5 CHANGE: Language changed in Section 3.9.5.5.5 to allow for Administrative and Board of County Commissioners exemptions to the preservation requirements in 3.9.5.5. REASON: To give exemptions to specifically identified property owners, so that they do not have to protect any required percentage of existing native vegetation. This is done in cases of extreme hardship such as the Naples Memorial Gardens Cemetery which is the only cemetery in Naples and needs to expand to the maximum extent possible,to service the residents. FISCAL & OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: None. RELATED CODES OR REGULATIONS: None. 3.9.5.5.5. Bonifide agriculture (as set forth in section 2.2.2.2.1.2) shall be exempt from the above preservation requirements provided that any new clearing of land for agriculture shall not be converted to nonagricultural development for at least ten years. .. . -= . = =. .. - _ .__ • . 2.6.24.
