PU-90-22 FILED BY/FOR: Richard L. Houghton Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1991 REQUESTING: A provisional use 3 (b) of A-i zoning district for a hunting camp REPRESENTED BY: Richard L. Houghton COMMENTS: Mr. Houghton explained this request is for a 16 ' x 20 ' ft . pre-constructed building on two and one half acres he owns in the Big Cypress National Preserve. He stated he is an exempt property owner . He stated the building was completed on July 15 , 1989, therefore, this is a permanent request after the fact . He concluded that he is in agreement with Staff ' s stipula- tions, including the removal of plumbing facili- ties in the bathroom if necessary. Mr . Addison questioned if this has been approved by the Parks Service, to which Mr . Houghton replied in the affirmative. MOTION: Made by Mr. Turrell, seconded by Mr. Addison and carried 5/0, to recommend approval ofPU-90-22, subject to Staff's Stipulations as follows: STIPULATIONS: 1 . The petitioner shall plant twelve trees to mitigate for the trees removed during construction. The trees shall be native species which will enhance the existing habitat for protected species, such as the liguus snails, observed during previous site visits. 2 . If the hunting camp is found not to be an accepted use as was stated in the letter from Mr. Fagergren of August 8 , 1990 to Mr. Houghton, the kitchen and bathroom shall be removed, and the building shall be used for storage or other acceptable use. 3 . Prior to issuance of Special Treatment (ST) development permits and/or removal permits, the petitioner shall obtain all applicable State and federal permits or approvals including the requirements of the Big Cypress Preserve as noted in Ordinance No. 82-2 , Section 9 . 1 and Ordinance No. 75-21 as amended. Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1991 ***** PETITION NO. R-90-27/SMP-90-31 FILED BY/FOR: Beau Keene of Evers, Neal and Purse, Inc . , representing Mr. Dan Peppers REQUESTING: A zoning change from A-2 to PUD "Waterford Estates" and Subdivision Master Plan approval REPRESENTED BY: Ms. Boylan, Environmental Consultant COMMENTS: Ms. Boylan stated there is one small identified . 43 acre wetland area on this 18-acre site. She said a . 63 acre mitigation plan has been agreed to in the northern area of the site which will be adjacent to one of the retention lakes and will be re-vegetated with appropriate aquatic plantings. She adder: this mitigation will be done in accordance with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) requirements. Ms. Boylan indicated a concern with Stipulation #1 concerning 6 : 1 lake slopes, because the greater the slope, the less room for mitigation area. She suggested that standard 4 : 1 slopes be required and stabilize the slopes in accordance with SFWMD criteria. It was the consensus to strike the last two sen- tences in Stipulation #1 . Dr . Martin commented that although there are significant road improvements proposed along one edge of the subject property, it is not currently paved and is extremely dusty. He suggested that, due to the few but existing residences in the area, the petitioner enforce his own proposal to keep the road watered down during the dry season. MOTION: Made by Mr. Neale, seconded by Mr. Turrell and carried 5/0, to recommend approval of R-90-27JSMP-90-31 , subject to Staff's amended stipulations as follows: STIPULATIONS: Page 4 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1991 1 . All proposed mitigation for impacts to Collier County jurisdictional wetlands shall comply with the ratios and requirements of Appendix 7 of the South Florida Water Management District rules. Mitigation areas shall be surveyed prior to final construc- tion plan approval and designated as a con- servation easement and/or tract with protective covenants pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 704. 06 . 2 . Prior to final plat/construction plan appro- val, the petitioner shall submit a typical building lot site clearing plan to be included in the homeowners document . ***** PETITION NO. PU-90-33 FILED BY/FOR: Paul Bowdoin, P.E. , of Boyle Engineering Corporation, representing Collier County Utilities REQUESTING: A provisional use Section 8 . 10 of A-2 for a water treatment plant REPRESENTED BY: Mike Newman, Collier County Water Director COMMENTS: Mr. Newman reported the water treatment site includes approximately six acres of a 20-acre site. He said 5 . 2 acres have been previously cleared and filled, and the actual encroachment on wetlands has been listed by Staff as . 72 acres. He stated it has since been surveyed per the requirements of Stipulation #2 and is now approximately . 4 acres. He concluded there are no objections to Staff ' s stipulations. MOTION: Made by Mr. Neale, seconded by Mr. Addison and carried 5/0 to recommend approval of Petition PU-90-33, subject to Staff's stipulations as follows: STIPULATIONS: 1 . Proof of ownership shall be submitted prior to issuance of any final development order or site work. Page 5 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1991 2 . All proposed mitigation for impacts to Collier County jurisdictional wetlands shall comply with the ratios and requirements of Appendix 7 of the South Florida Water Management District rules. Mitigation areas shall be surveyed prior to final site deve- lopment plan approval and designated as a conservation easement and/or tract with pro- tective covenants pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 704 .06. ***** PETITION NO. R-90-8 FILED BY/FOR: Robert L. Duane, AICP, of Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc. , representing Elhanon and Sandra Combs REQUESTING: A zoning change from RSF-4 to PUD "Island Oasis" REPRESENTED BY: Mr. John Lee COMMENTS: Mr. Neale noted for the record that he has a conflict of interest for this petition and has filed Form 8B: Memorandum of Voting Conflict for County, Municipal and Other Local Public Officers. Mr. Lee presented this request for a 5 . 6 acre PUD located off Marco Lake Drive on Marco Island. He said the subject property is bounded on the north and west by property zoned C-4 and on the east and south by RSF-4 zoning. He said the site is currently a borrow pit which was dredged several years ago for fill on Marco Island. He stated the proposal is to fill approximately three and one half acres of the pit, maintain a two acre lake on site to treat the water currently going through the site and to accommodate the site ' s water management needs. He mentioned that both the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) and SFWMD have visited the site and determined it was not a viable wetland. He added that Collier County is claiming the site as a wetland and the peti- tioner has no problem with mitigating off-site, however, the main issue is the amount of mitiga- tion. He asked that the mitigation being Page 6 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1991 requested by Staff be reduced to something com- parable to what is being impacted. Dr. Martin indicated he has a problem with the petitioner discounting the borrow pit as a wetland, yet the proposal refers to it as a lake. He asked what will change it from one to the other? Mr . Lee responded that it will be a lake typical to developments throughout the County. He said a specific program has not yet been set up as to what the plantings will be, which is something that is typically done in the site development plan process. In answer to Dr. Martin, Mr . Worsham stated the petitioner will be required to retain or recreate 25% of the native vegetation on site. Attorney Patrick Neale, representing Lake Front Commercial Condominium Association, stated his client is a property owner directly across Marco Lake Drive. He advised that his client has filed a law suit against the owners of the pro- perty this date, to enjoin them from any further activity with Collier County and calling into question their title to the property. He said his client holds a 99-year lease on a strip of this property which essentially landlocks it and makes it impossible to develop. He stated, therefore, it is inappropriate for this petition to be considered while subject to litigation. Mr. Lee indicated that in light of this new development, he would like to continue this petition indefinitely. It was the consensus to table Petition R-90-8 indefinitely. ***** There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned into workshop session by Order of the Chair.

EDW/ew91-47 cc: Dave Pettrow, Development Services Director John F. Madajewski, Project Review Services Manager Chrono File PROJECT REVIEW SERVICES (Environmental Review) STAFF REPORT FOR EAC MEETING 2/20/1990 Petition: R-90-25 REVISED: Michael H. Marcus of Morris-Depew Assoc. , Inc. , representing Desha N. Sanders, Jr. , Trustee, requesting a zoning change from RSF-4 to PUD "Sanders Shopping Center" for retail shopping center/business offices. Considerations: Petition was previously heard by the EAC on 12/19/1990. At which time the applicant applied for a rezone from RSF-4 to C-4 . Planning Services has asked the petitioner to change their request for a rezone from RSF-4 to PUD so that specific development standards may be locked in. Staff requests the petition be approved utilizing the same stipulations which have been incorporated in this report. The applicant is applying for a rezone from RSF-4 to PUD for con- struction of a retail shopping center/business offices. The site consists of a 4 . 2 +/- acre parcel with residential single-family homes, bounded on the east and south by single-family homes and on the west by commercial property. The petitioner proposes removal of the single-family homes and construction of a commercial center. Approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the site will remain as pervious area (buffer area and retention) with all native vegetation within the designated buffer/open space areas to be retained on-site. A gopher tortoise burrow was observed on-site near the southwest corner of the property. The petitioner has contacted Ms. Kimberly Dryden, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, for recom- mendations and assistance in relocating any gopher tortoise found on-site. Sand pines are located along the south boundary and southeast corner of the site. The petitioner will retain all sand pines on site which are not under the proposed building envelope. Individ- ual parking spaces may be relocated in order to retain sand pine that may fall in a parking lot. Recommendations: In consideration of the above, staff recommends administrative approval of Petition R-90-25 subject to the following stipula- tions: 1. Prior to any future development order approvals, the peti- tioner shall conduct a gopher tortoise survey in accordance with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission protocols and obtain any necessary permits and/or approvals for on-site preservation or off-site relocation. Staff Report R-90-25 EAC Meeting 2/20/91 Page 2 2 . Prior to any future development order approvals, the peti- tioner shall survey the locations of all sand pines greater than or equal to 4 inches DBH and indicate on the site plan the locations of all sand pines proposed for removal and those sand pines proposed to be retained on site.

Hurt of Anchor/American Engineering, representing William T. Higgs, President, Coast Communities Corporation; requesting a PUD Amendment to "Berkshire Lakes" . Considerations: The petitioner is requesting a PUD amendment to remove the limits on single family and multi-family units and to allow the distribution of single family and multi-family units to be at the discretion of the developer while observing the maximum allowable number of units of 4 ,200. Staff has reviewed Berkshire Lakes' proposal and has no objection to the change with some assurance that it will not cause additional loss of native vegetation. Recommendations: Staff recommends administrative approval of PDA-91-1 with the following stipulations: 1. All future development parcels, whether single family or multi-family, shall be required to retain at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing native vegetation in existence at the time of this approval. 2 . Should the proposed re-assignment of development tract uses require re-platting of any parcel, the applicant shall provide an updated red cockaded woodpecker survey and comply with the recommendations of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission should any birds or cavity trees be discovered.

DATE: 447/of IRE4 FCT MRAEVDAIWWRIPCES E M ANAGER - Staff Reports, PDA-91-1, ew PROJECT REVIEW SERVICES (Environmental Review) STAFF REPORT FOR EAC MEETING 2/20/1991 Petition: R-91-1: William R. Vines of Vines & Associates, Inc. , representing Citizens & Southern Trust Company (Florida) N. A. ; requesting a zoning change from A-2 to PUD "Northbrook Plaza" . Considerations: The petitioner requests a zoning change from A-2 to PUD, mixed commercial/residential, typical of interstate interchange facilities. Subject property is an undeveloped, irregularly shaped 39 . 9 acre parcel of land located in the southeast quarter of Section 19, Township 48 South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida. It is situated in the northeast quadrant of Interstate 75 (I-75) and Immokalee Road (CR 846) . The Cocohatchee Canal is to the south of the property. Reader is referred to the enclosed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) page 6 and to the graphic representation of vegetative cover located in the back of said report for a vegetation description. Major habitats are: 1) pine flatwoods; 2) pine flatwoods with exotic vegetation (including Melaleuca (Melaleuca ctuinquenervia) and Brazilian pepper, (Schinus terebinthifolius) ; 3) willow-cypress wetlands; and 4) cleared, graminoid cover areas. The area of willow-cypress wetlands is approximately .49 acres and is in the southeast corner of the site. The wetland area has clearly been impacted by the construction activities of I-75, CR 846 and the Cocohatchee Canal system. Petitioner has agreed to future determination by County, State and Federal jurisdictions of the exact wetland boundary acreage. Given that the wetland is adjacent to the planned site access road from CR 846, alternative and/or mitigation measures will need to be addressed in the site development review stage. The plan is conceptual at this time. A wildlife survey was conducted on October 9, 1990 by Kevin L. Erwin Consulting Ecologists, Inc. (KLECE) . Staff agrees that the pine flatwoods on site appear to be poor quality gopher tortoise (Gopherus polvphemus) habitat. However, a site visit on January 14 , 1991 by Barbara N. Prynoski, Collier County Project Review Services Environmental Staff and William Vines of Vines and Associates indicated recent activity at one burrow (all eight burrows were not field Staff Report R-91-1 EAC Meeting 2/20/1991 Page 2 located) . Given the results of the 1/14/91 site visit and the statement made by KLECE that "four potentially active burrows had fresh dirt. . " [reference page 5, Threatened and Endangered Species Survey (TESS) ] , an additional gopher tortoise survey appears necessary. All TESS located gopher tortoise burrows may not be inactive as stated. Major environmental concerns: - wetlands in southeast corner - gopher tortoises Recommendations: Considering the above, Staff recommends approval of petition R-91-1 with the following stipulations: 1. A protected species survey, specifically for gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) , shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission within six (6) months or less of Site Plan or Subdivison Master Plan (SMP) submittal. 2 . This project is recommended for rezoning only. Applicant shall be subject to all environmental ordinances in effect at the time of Site Plan/Subdivision Master Plan approvals. 3 . Wetlands shall be flagged by the petitioner, to include Collier County jurisdictional lines, and shall be field verified by Collier County Project Review Services Environmental Staff prior to and as part of the Site Plan/Subdivision Master Plan approval. Said approved wetland boundary shall be indicated on the SMP and final site plan/construction plan. 4 . All proposed mitigation for impacts to Collier County jurisdictional wetlands shall comply with the ratios and requirements of Appendix 7 of the South Florida Water Management District rules. Mitigation areas shall be surveyed prior to final (site plan/construction plan) approval and designated as a conservation easement and/or tract with protective convenants pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 704 . 06. Staff Report R-91-1 EAC Meeting 2/20/1991 Page 3 5. An exotic removal, monitoring, and maintenance (exotic-free) plan for the site shall be submitted to Project Review Services, Environmental Staff for review and approval prior to final site plan/construction plan approval. /.

Duane, AICP of Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc. , representing Elhanon and Sandra Combs; requesting a zoning change from RSF-4 to PUD "Island Oasis". Considerations: Petitioner requests a zoning change for the development of single-family and multi-family residential units with a recreation area that includes a pool, clubhouse, and tennis facilities on the 5.6 acre site. The subject property is located off Marco Lake Drive on Marco Island and is bounded on the north and west by property zoned C-4, and on the east and south by RSF-4 zoning. Most of the site is a submerged wetland created by borrow pit activities. The dominant vegetation is cattails (Typha spp. ) . Many birds were observed on site, and American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) have been reported. Recommendations: Since human activity has had a great impact on the site, staff recommends approval of petition R-90-8 subject to the following stipulations: 1. Habitats and their boundaries (consistent with FLUCCS) shall be identified on an aerial photo of the site (Ordinance No. 82-2 as amended by Ordinance No. 89-49) prior to approval of subdivision master plan. 2 . The master plan shall reflect the fact that twenty five percent (25%) of native vegetation (as determined from data supplied in stipulation one) shall be retained or recreated (Ordinance No. 82-2 as amended by Ordinance No. 89-49) prior to approval of subdivision master plan. 3. A proposed mitigation plan for wetland impacts (a minimum ratio of 1.5: 1 onsite and/or 3:1 offsite) shall be submitted (Collier County Growth Management Plan - Conservation and Coastal Management Element Policies • 6.2 .5; 6.2.8; 6.2. 10; 6.2 . 12; and 6.3.2) prior to approval of subdivision master plan. n Staff Report R-90-8 EAC Meeting 12/19/90 Page 2 4.
