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.

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.

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.

a. Existing drainage facilities shall not be modified so as to discharge
water to any coastal waters, either directly or through existing
drainage facilities. Existing drainage facilities shall not be
expanded in capacity or length except in conformance with
subsection 2[b] immediately following; however,modifications
may be made to existing facilities that will raise the groundwater
table or limit saltwater intrusion.
b. New drainage facilities shall release water in a manner
approximating the natural local surface flow regime,through a
spreader pond or performance equivalent structure or system,
either on-site or to a natural retention or filtration and flow area.
New drainage facilities shall also maintain a groundwater level
sufficient to protect wetland vegetation through the use of weirs or
performance equivalent structures or system. Said facilities shall
not retain, divert, or otherwise block or channel the naturally
occurring flows in a strand, slough or estuarine area.
c. New drainage facilities shall not discharge water into any coastal
waters whether directly or through existing drainage facilities.
d. This rule shall not apply to drainage facilities modified or
constructed in order to use land for agricultural purposes or to
convert land to such use.
3. Transportation
a. Transportation facilities which would retain, divert or otherwise
block surface water flows shall provide for the reestablishment of
sheet flow through the use of interceptor spreader systems or
performance equivalent structures and shall provide for the
passage of stream, strand, or slough waters through the use of
bridges, culverts,piling construction or performance equivalent
structures or systems.
b. Transportation facilities shall be constructed parallel to the local
surface flow, and shall maintain a historic ground level sufficient
to protect wetland vegetation through the use of weirs or
performance equivalent structures or systems and as feasible. the
flows in such works shall be released to natural retention filtration
and flows areas.
c. Transportation facility construction sites shall provide for siltation
and runoff control through the use of settling ponds, soil fixing or
performance equivalent structures or systems.
