ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD STAFF REPORT MEETING OF June 4, 1997 I. NAME OF PETITIONER/PROJECT: Petition No. : PUD-97-3 Petition Name: Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club Applicant/Developer: Ultimate Land Trust/ James R. Colosimo, Trustee Engineering Consultant: McAnly Engineering and Design, Inc . Environmental Consultant: Geza Wass de Czege, Southern Biomes, EIS- Environmental Information Services II . LOCATION: The subject property is located on the north and south sides of Immokalee Road, approximately three miles east of SR 951, in northern Collier County, Sections 17, 20, 29 & 30, Township 48 South, Range 27 East . __ . DESCRIPTION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: The surrounding land uses are a combination of rural estates, agriculture and a new Golf Course and Country Club being constructed by Bonita Bay. ZONING DESCRIPTION N - Estates Undeveloped S - Agriculture- Mobile Home Partially developed Overlay E - Estates Partially developed W - Agriculture/Mobile Home Partially developed Overlay PUD- Bonita Bay Golf and Country Club Under development EAB Staff Report May 7, 1997 "Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club" Petition No. PUD-97-3 image 2 IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Twin Eagles straddles Immokalee Road and its parallel canal . According to the Drainage Atlas for Collier County the northern portion sits in the Corkscrew Canal Basin, just east of the flow divide, so discharge for that portion would be to the east through the Corkscrew Canal . Southerly flows from Bird Rookery Swamp and Corkscrew Swamp to the north appear to pass around the west side of Twin Eagles. The portion of the project south of Immokalee Road drains into preserves that straddle Rock Road, this entire area is within the Cypress Canal Basin. The Curry Canal is the nearest positive discharge, but water would have to flow toward the south or east under Rock Road to get there. Plan of Record: Water Management: Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club, Conceptual Water Management Plan, by McAnly engineering and Design, Inc. , dated January 27, 1997 . Environmental: Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club Environmental Assessment Report North Tract (1114 . 55 Acres) South Tract (259 . 54 Acres) , dated March 24, 1997 . Prepared by Geza Wass de Czege, Southern Biomes, EIS- Environmental Information Services . Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club PUD document, prepared by McAnley Engineering and Design, Inc. V. STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: This project will be reviewed and permitted by the SFWMD. Environmental: The subject property consists of a total of 1374 acres of land divided into a northern half and a southern half by Immokalee EAB Staff Report May 7, 1997 "Twin Eagles Golf & Country Club" Petition No. PUD-97-3 age 3 Road. The majority of the impacts will be to the northern 1114 acres with two proposed 18 hole golf courses and 275 residential units. Proposed impacts to the southern 260 acres will be by development of horse pastures, stables, riding arenas, on site caretakers home and other recreational facilities . A formal Environmental Impact Statement as required by Collier County Land Development Code Section 3 . 8 was not submitted. Staff feels that the Assessment Report submitted, the consultants guided tour of the site, very thorough descriptions and answers to the impacts not addressed in the Report and subsequent conversations with the environmental consultant should allow this submittal to be considered complete. The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) may however wish to have the consultant submit additional information as an attachment to the Environmental Assessment Report submitted. This should not require additional review by the EAB, but should be filed with the official PUD file and the Environmental file at Community Development & Environmental Services Division. The environmental consultants Report excellently and thoroughly describes the site by FLUCCS code and gives detailed descriptions of the individual tracts of land broken down by North Tract and South Tract . Site development proposes approximately 19 acres of impacts to the 240 acres of wetlands on the north tract and about 3 acres of impacts to the 178 acres of wetland in the southern portion of the property. Special protection will be afforded the unique 2 . 7 acre Tropical Hammock with Simpson' s stopper located on the southern tract . Endangered species surveys were conducted by the consultant in the months of April and May, 1996 and January and February, 1997 . Eight (8) listed species were observed on the north tract and two (2) listed species were observed on the south tract . Those species seen on the north tract were the American alligator, Big Cypress fox squirrels, great egrets, tri-color herons, wood storks, white ibis, sand hill cranes and little blue herons . The species found on the south tract were gopher tortoise and Simpson' s stopper. Also of interest was the presence of wild turkey on site. Both the vegetation inventory and protected species locations are identified on the aerials provided with the report . All areas where these species were observed will be protected in preserves or conservation easements except for the small cattle pond where little blue heron and great egret were observed in the southern central portion of the northern tract .

STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: The water management system to serve this project will consist of three drainage basins . The northern two basins will discharge through separate control structures into the third basin which will ultimately discharge from the site through a third control structure to the Immokalee Road Canal . EAB Meeting June 4, 1997 PUD 97-8 Page 3 Each basin will contain a series of interconnected lakes . Runoff from the developed areas will be conveyed to the lakes by sheet flow, catch basins and culvert systems . Offsite flow from the Northbrooke Plaza PUD, to the south, will be routed through the project . Discharge from the site is limited to . 04 cfs/acre . This project will be permitted by the South Florida Water Management District . Environmental : The subject property consists of approximately 285 acres of land categorized by FLUCCS code as Pasture, Pine Flatwoods, Hydric Pine Flatwoods, Cypress, Wet Prairie, Canal and Borrow Pit . The Consultant identified 163 acres of wetlands (57 of which are borrow areas) and 122 acres of uplands on site . The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) commits to preservation of a minimum of 46 . 25 acres (25%) of native vegetation on site . A great majority of this will be accomplished by preserving the cypress wetlands and creating a smaller wetland marsh system. About 5 acres of uplands will be set aside in a preserve. The consultant did a thorough Threatened and Endangered Species (T&E) Survey concentrating on Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers and Big Cypress Fox Squirrels . None were observed on site or evidenced to be using the area for forage . A cumulative list of major flora and wildlife species observed on site is attached as Item #3 and Item #4 in the T&E Survey. The EIS attachment describes the property by FLUCCS code and expands on that with acreage and a vegetation inventory for each area. It also identifies the 6 soil types found on site by providing a copy of the soil survey map and the Collier County Soil Legend, revised 1/90 by Howard Yamataki . In a letter from William Stanton, Archeological Data Analyst for the Florida Master Site File, he stated that there were no recorded archaeological sites or historical structures on the subject property. n EAB Meeting June 4, 1997 PUD 97-8 Page 4 VI.
