ITEM: APPROVAL OF MINUTES
MOTION: Made by Mr. Brown to approve the Minutes of March
20 1991 . Seconded by Mr. Turrell. Carried 4/0.
*****
ITEM: OLD BUSINESS
PETITION NO. R-90-26
FILED BY/FOR: Alan D. Reynolds of Wilson, Miller•, Barton & Peek,
Inc . , representing Henk Morelisse, Jr . , of Dynabel
Investments, Ltd.
REQUESTING: A zoning change from A-2 and A-2 ST to PUD
"Dynabel"
REPRESENTED BY: Robin Blandy, Land Planner
COMMENTS: Ms. Blandy reported this item is a 190 + acre site
zoned A-2 and A-2 ST located north of Imperial Golf
Estates, west of the Livingston Road Country Club,
and east of U. S . 41 . She stated the proposed den-
sity is 2 . 1 dwelling units per acre, with a maximum
of 390 units . She said there is a total of 47
acres of conservation and open space; 20 acres of
lake (which total 67 acres) ; and then 47 additional
acres within the residential tracts. She indicated
there are 47 acres of wetlands, 12 acres of which
are heavily impacted with exotics. She recapped
the proposed mitigation for the project . Regarding
proposed stipulations, she reported the following:
#Land #2 are okay; #3 (c) needs amending by addi-
tion of words "unless otherwise required by state
or federal jurisdictional agencies" to read,
" . . . . or excavation for said activity( ies) is
involved, unless otherwise required by state or
federal . . . . " ; #4 is resolved from the original sti-
pulation as a location for a possible road crossing
has been found which staff indicates is more of an
upland pine canopy; #5 & #6 are okay; and that #7
prompts concern.
Regarding #7, Arthur Pritzker, Field Biologist ,
pointed out that there is no difference of opinion
at this time, but that 10 years is a rather
Page 2
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
questionable period of time for which data may be
available.
Mr . Madajewski commented that the applicant is
attempting to obtain an easement from their neigh-
bors, the Livingston Road Country Club, to be able
to have a continuous functioning strip of wetlands
between the two projects but that there is the
possibility that this attempt would be unsuccess-
ful and, therefore, a berm might be required on
this project .
Mr. Worsham stated that any sort of berm is going
to be disruptive and, therefore, staff is opposed
to that concept , but have been unable to come up
with a satisfactory solution. He expressed a
desire for a pattern to be developed to address
this situation as additional projects come in.
Following further discussion, Ms. Blandy summarized
#7 should read, "Control structures shall be set at
or above biological indicators ( i .e. lichen lines)
of the adjacent wetlands, and reasonable assurance
shall be provided to promote successful restora-
/'• tion/preservation and/or enhancement of the
wetlands" . She stated #8 through #11 are fine, but
that #12 should be further amended by insertion of
the language, "If South Florida Water Management
District relieves the County, in a manner satisfac-
tory to the County, of maintenance "
MOTION: Made by Mr. Turrell to recommend revision of the
stipulations to R-90-26 with the amended stipula-
tions Nos. 3(c) , 7 and 12. Seconded by Dr. Martin.

PETITION NO. R-90-37
FILED BY/FOR: George L . Varnadoe, Esquire of Young, Van
Assenderp, Varnadoe and Benton, P.A. , representing
Antaramian Development Corporation.
REQUESTING: A zoning change from PUD and RT to PUD "Point
Marco"
REPRESENTED BY: George L . Varnadoe
COMMENTS: DURING THE VOTE ON THIS ITEM, MR. TURRELL ANNOUNCED
HE ABSTAINED FROM VOTING, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE THE
RECORDER WITH FORM 4 MEMORANDUM OF VOTING CONFLICT
Attorney Varnadoe presented a map to which he made
various comments and proceeded to recap the pro-
posed project .
In answer to Mr . Addison' s question regarding
public parking, Mr . Varnadoe reported that in 1981
the Commission determined that the beach access
previously dedicated in the late ' 60s was all that
Page 7
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
was necessary. He reported that there is a 20 '
beach access along the north edge of the property
line which was deed in 1984 to the County, at its
request , presently developed with a beach dune
walk-over and a boardwalk. He stated that the
beach access is a public one, but the dedication
has a reverter clause that dictates it reverts to
the owner if and when used in conjunction with a
public parking facility, either adjacent to it or
reasonably approximate to it .
In answer to Mr . Addison' s question of whether this
would qualify Marco for federal funds for beach
renourishment , Mr . Varnadoe voiced his opinion that
he does not think so and added that he has asked
the County Attorney' s Office to answer to that
question.
Mr. Worsham commented that initially staff had pro-
vided a stipulation addressing public parking but ,
upon becoming aware of the reverter clause, dropped
same.
MOTION: Made by Mr. Brown to accept R-90-37 as presented.
Seconded by Dr. Martin. Carried 3/0 (Mr. Turrell
abstained) .

PETITION NO. PUD-80-20( 1 )
FILED BY/FOR: Donald A. Pickworth of Asbell , Hains, Doyle &
Pickworth, P.A. , representing Royal Marco
Developments
REQUESTING: PUD Amendment to "Hideaway Beach" to allow private
docking facilities for seventy-seven (77) boats, a
boat launch, and parking
REPRESENTED BY: Sam Holland
COMMENTS: Ms. Holland recapped the proposed project and
stated that the Petitioner had no problem with the
three stipulations proposed by staff .
Mr . Reischl reported that the manatee comment con-
tained in item "F" of the proposed stipulations is
basically following the guidelines we have in lieu
of any Ordinance.
Page 8
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
Dr . Martin questioned what considerations have been
given for the active on-site osprey nest , located
in the middle of the proposed construction site,
adding he had personally visited the site within
the past few days.
Ms. Holland stated that she was not aware of an
active osprey nest on-site.
Craig Schmitler, Senior Biologist of the Naples
Office of Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc . , com-
mented that the osprey nest was located in the
mangroves north and west of the existing site.
In answer to Mr . Addison, Mr . Schmitler stated
there are no seagrasses in the area of the dock,
but that they found a few in the canal when they
visited the area in June or July as well as north
of the dock in Collier Bay. He reported there is
not much shallow littoral zone habitat . He stated
they did a bathymetrical survey through the canal
to the existing navigation channel, finding water
depths in excess of 5 ' at low tide and one reading
at a depth of 4 ' 8" at low tide.
Mr . Brown voiced his concern that the Petitioner is
proposing a two phase development but stating that
eventually there could be 77 boat docks and a 10
car parking area for the whole 77 slips.
Mr . Madajewski interjected that any docking faci-
lity has to have a commensurate amount of parking
slips based on the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Holland reported that the County had requested
the boat ramp not be located on the south side of
the dock.
Raymond Harris, Royal Marco Developments, clarified
that presently the boat dock ramp is proposed to
be located within the dredged canal area on the
south side, but the County is recommending that it
be relocated. He outlined the options for
complying with the County' s request .
Barbara Cawley of Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek,
Inc . , said the canal is not in DNR jurisdiction,
and there is no DNR permitting inside the canal .
She reported having permits by DER and the Corp
of Engineers .
Page 9
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
Discussion took place at this time regarding which
portions constituted Phase I and Phase II .
Mr . Schmitler reported the results of the water
quality sampling taken in the bay as required by
DER.
John Farquhar spoke on behalf of the Petitioner
stating the relocation of the ramp was a request
made by Bob Lord. He then proceeded to report the
sequence of events and their resolution, but his
comments were inaudible to the recorder .
Joe Bryant addressed the Council with his concerns
which included the current application possibly
being based on outdated or misleading information
as well as the environmental impact on the area and
consequences to Collier Bay as a manatee refuge.
He presented photographs to illustrate his state-
ments regarding water depths of Collier Bay,
existence of manatees in the area, etc . (He later
collected the photos and did not make them part of
the record) .
Attorney Farquhar commented that Mr . Bryant is the
only one that has objected to this project from its
inception. (At this time he furnished the Council
with what he alluded to be a copy of a DER document
and made several references to same. It should be
noted that he failed to provide the recorder with a
copy) . He referred to several pages of the han-
dout , including 4, 5 , 6, and 10, relating to
gathering of samples and analysis of same, and then
proceeded to discuss the details of the planned
project .
Mr . Bryant pointed out that Commissioner Shanahan
has over 200 signed petitions opposing this matter,
and that the DNR hearing had approximately 30-40
people present in opposition.
In response to Mr . Turrell ' s request for specific
details from DER regarding the boat ramp, Mr .
Farquhar commented that location of the ramp on the
canal side would not require DER approval .
In answer to Dr . Martin and using an aerial blowup
of the area, Mr . Schmitler reported the results of
the bathymetric studies as well as the composition
and condition of the channel bottom.
Page 10
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17 , 1991
h
Mr . Bryant questioned the results of the bathy-
metric studies .
Mr . Worsham reminded the Council that there is no
existing County Ordinance to protect marine orga-
nisms, plant or animal , and that there is no mecha-
nism to solicit input from other agencies . He said
that , due to staff biases, this creates a whole in
the system. He pointed out that staff had no
authority or guidelines to say anything beyond what
has been said in the way of stipulations .
Mr . Schmitler reported the DER stipulations
imposed for this project .
Mr . Worsham discussed additional stipulations which
could be imposed regarding the seagrass beds, loca-
tion of boat ramp, osprey nest, etc .
Mr . Farquhar stated there is no problem with
adding a stipulation requiring marking of seagrass
beds, of agreeing to returning before EAC, or to
conducting water quality studies. He expressed a
desire to receive EAC approval for the requested
� docking facilities for seventy-seven (77) boats,
stating they would be in agreement with a stipula-
tion to not put the boat ramp on the north side.
Dr . Martin stated, that having seen the osprey nest
himself and having its existence denied by those
present today representing the Petitioner, that it
raised questions of doubt regarding the accuracy of
the rest of the data presented.
Mr. Schmitler stated there would be no objection to
having a stipulation regarding the protection of
the osprey nest . He reported DER' s stipulations
requiring an accepted DNR manatee management plan.
Mr. Turrell recapped the proposed additional stipu-
lations relating to the osprey nest , the ramp loca-
tion, and seagrass warnings.
Mr . Worsham discussed procedure and stipulation
language necessary if , in fact, the existence of
the osprey nest was confirmed.
Stuart Santos, Natural Resources Director, reported
on his office ' s activities in the way of seagrass
Page 11
it
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17 , 1991
surveys and relevant signage throughout the county.
He reported the cost of sinking a post and putting
a sign up was approximately $1 , 000 . 00 (the sign
itself costing approximately $90 . 00) .
Mr . Brown suggested wording for a stipulation
dealing with the seagrass signage as, "Additional
shallow water and seagrass bed signage shall be
provided and located to the north of the protruding
dock so as to protect the shallow water grassbeds" ,
but emphasized he would want the exact wording left
to staff ' s discretion.
It was the consensus of the Council to leave the
wording on this stipulation to staff ' s discretion.
Mr . Harris suggested posting signs on the channel
markers. He stated they would agree to the stipu-
lation about : 1 ) not putting the boat ramp on the
north side ; 2) construction will be done in accor-
dance with the Fish and Game regulations for the
protection of onsite osprey nesting; 3) that the
EAC will review this matter prior to commencement
of the second phase of construction; and 4) that
Petitioner will conduct water quality testing of
the area.
MOTION: Made by Mr. Turrell to recommend approval of
PUD-80-20(1) with staff 's stipulations, as amended.
Seconded by Mr. Brown. Carried 3/0 (Dr. Martin
opposed) .
STIPULATIONS:
1 . 4 . 04 . 10 DOCKS :
F) If the docking facility is constructed, a
"Manatee Alert Bulletin Board" shall be placed
in a high visibility area of the docking faci-
lity and "Manatee Area" signs shall be posted
on any channel markers installed in conjunction
with the docking facility.
G) If the docking facility is constructed, a
sewage pump out facility shall be provided, no
fueling facilities shall be allowed.
H) If the docking facility is constructed, suf-
ficient and adequate turbidity screening shall
Page 12

be provided during construction, with locations
of silt screen placement clearly indicated on
the final approved construction plans, in order
to prevent increased turbidity in surrounding
waters.
2 . Stipulation preventing location of boat ramp on
the north side (wording to be provided by
staff) .
3 . Stipulation mandating construction to be done
in accordance with the Fish and Game regula-
tions for the protection of onsite osprey
nesting (wording to be provided by staff) .
4 . Stipulation requiring water quality testing
(wording to be provided by staff) .
5 . Stipulation requiring that this matter come
before EAC prior to commencement of the second
phase of construction (wording to be provided
by staff ) .

PETITION NO.. PUD-84-25 ( 1 ) /DOA-91-3
FILED BY/FOR: Rick Hedlund of Team Plan, Inc. , representing
Naples Associates
REQUESTING: A PUD Amendment and a Development Order Amendment
to "Pine Air Lakes"
REPRESENTED BY: George L. Varnadoe, Esquire of Young, van
Assenderp, Varnadoe and Benton, P.A.
COMMENTS: George Varnadoe informed that the subject property
is an approved DRI that is located at the southwest
corner of Airport Road and Pine Ridge Road. He
explained that the DRI is commercial/retail with
office, commercial , and hotel use approved. He
stated that the request proposed is to change the
majority of the use to retail, resulting in a
reduction of 230, 600 square feet of space. He spe-
cified that the proposal is to have mostly retail
stores and one office building. He noted that the
Page 13
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
area in question is mainly "agricultural with one
"ST" area which is a cypress wetland and will be
preserved as a 25 foot buffer . He pointed out that
the open spaces will not be reduced and all
environmental aspects will remain the same. He
added that the petitioner is in concurrence with
the seven staff stipulations.
Environmental Specialist Reischl noted that the
main concern has been taken care of which was the
wetland area.
In response to Mr. Addison, Mr . Reischl informed
that the berm is located on the south side. As to
any other possible berm, Mr . Varnadoe advised that
the petitioner will do whatever necessary to main-
tain the wetland area.
Chief Environmental Specialist Worsham suggested
that a stipulation be included to the satisfaction
of the Stormwater Management System and the peti-
tioner, and Mr . Varnadoe noted that this can be
worked out .
MOTION: Made by Mr. Turrell, seconded by Dr. Martin and
carried 4/0, that PUD-84-2511)/DOA-91-3 be
approved, subject to the amended environmental sti-
pulations as follows:
STIPULATIONS:
1 . A site clearing plan shall be submitted to the
Collier County Development Services Department
for review and approval prior to any work on
the site . This plan may be submitted in phases
to coincide with development . The site
clearing plan shall clearly indicate how the
final site plan incorporates retained native
vegetation to the maximum extent , and how
roads, buildings, lakes, parking lots, and
other facilities have been oriented to accom-
modate this goal .
2 . Drought tolerant species shall be utilized to
the maximum extent in the site landscaping
design. A landscaping plan will be submitted
to the Development Services Department for
review and approval . This plan will indicate

PETITION NO. PU-91-1
FILED BY/FOR: Robert K. Lockhart of Lockhart Engineering, Inc. ,
representing Southfield Farms LTD, V
REQUESTING: Provisional uses 3 (a) and 3 (b) of A-2 zoning
district for earth mining and extraction and
related processing.
REPRESENTED BY: Robert K. Lockhart
COMMENTS: Robert K. Lockhart commented that the proposed site
is a previously abandoned excavation site which has
created a functioning wetland with significant
wildlife value. He explained that the two
requested provisional uses for the site are for
earth mining and extraction of water to be used as
potable water for Marco Island. He noted that the
proposed excavation will be to a 30 foot depth con-
current with the three trenches around the peri-
meter which have been designed under specific
criteria and guidelines to provide the quantity of
surface water requested. He reported that the
Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has
provided to the Collier County Environmental Staff
their recommendations as noted in the stipulations.
He related that he is in agreement with the stipu-
lations . He pointed out that the first stipulation
requires that one quarter to one half of the pro-
posed borrow pit be mitigated for a wade bird mana-
gement area, and requested that the demarcation
lines be determined during the meeting. He advised
that there will be no withdrawal pumping for the
excavation, noting that this will be done strictly
in a wet condition.
Dr. Martin questioned how economically will the
proposed stipulations effect the project?
Mr . Lockhart stated that he does have some concerns
about the stipulations . In regards to the depth
allowance stipulated, he noted that his
Page 16
•
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17, 1991
understanding is that this does not limit the depth
to 20 feet , but only makes recommendations that
they not exceed 20 feet until documentation has
been provided or clarified that conditions prove
there will be no adverse impacts; therefore, there
is flexibility to excavate to the 30 foot depth
providing it meets staff approval . Regarding the
mitigation of one quarter to one half of the borrow
pit for a wading bird management area, he remarked
that this will eliminate the requirement of a 50 to
100 foot strip around the perimeter of the borrow
and solely provide a consolidated area for mitiga-
tion on the north side. He pointed out that staff
does not want any pumping in the mitigated area;
however, it seems that some pumping would benefit
the cypress area located there, and would like to
have clarified what staff ' s desires are regarding
this . He informed that as to the stipulation
requiring that no excavations and rock processing
will occur during woodstork nesting season, this
seems to be somewhat restrictive. He specified
that the excavation will be done over a long period
of time, there will not be multiple excavators
involved, and the distance between the proposed
mitigation area and the furthest excavation and
processing point is several thousand feet incurring
little activity and noise; therefore, he does not
understand why the restriction encompasses the
entire site, and recommended that this stipulation
be removed. He noted that the developer does not
seem to feel that limiting the site to three
fourths of what was initially intended is a signi-
ficant problem economically.
Dr . Martin noted that there is currently an unde-
termined species of birds roosting in the the pro-
cessing area of the site.
Chief Environmental Specialist Worsham stated that
many of the stipulations will be resolved between
the petitioner and the Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission. He added that the County will defer to
the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission' s recom-
mendations; therefore, he related that the stipula-
tions presented should not be altered. He noted
that staff could require that there be an evening
survey.
Dr . Martin suggested that stipulation five should
be clarified as to the restriction of blasting.
Page 17
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17 , 1991
Mr . Lockhart agreed that blasting could be limited
to non-nesting season with the months specified.
Mr . Worsham suggested that a specified distance
should be used for a :.imitation criteria; however,
if the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has a
more definitive criteria for limiting the excava-
tion and processing during nesting season, the
County will defer to them. Mr . Lockhart affirmed
that restricting blasting and providing a distance
criteria for excavation and processing would be
agreeable to the petitioner .
In response to Dr . Martin, Mr . Lockhart stated
there has been no determination by the Corps of
Engineers at this time for a permit , but there
seems to be no significant concerns.
Mr. Lockhart pointed out that a DER permit has been
obtained for a connection on the western portion of
the project to eliminate a small ditch.
In response to Mr. Addison, Mr . Worsham commented
that the only change indicated has been to stipula-
tion five. As to the determination of whether one-
quarter or one-half of the proposed borrow pit area
be used for mitigation, Mr . Worsham stated that a
letter of technical assistance from the Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commission advising of this deter-
mination will be forthcoming.
Dr . Martin suggested that the applicant investigate
as to what species of birds are roosting on the
project site, and noted that an eagle has been seen
in the proposed project area.
MOTION: Made by Dr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Addison and
carried 4/0, to approve PU-91-1 , subject to staff 's
recommendations with the change to stipulation five
reflecting the restriction of blasting_ being
limited to non-nesting season, as follows:
STIPULATIONS:
1 . An approved wading bird management area shall
be established in accordance with Florida Game
and Fresh Water Fish Commission (FGFWFC) recom-
mendations in the north one quarter to one half
of the proposed borrow pit area, excluding the
location of the proposed trenches, unless
Page 18

otherwise agreed upon by FGFWFC and a letter
releasing the petitioner of these requirements
is submitted to Collier County Project Review
Services Environmental Staff prior to issuance
of excavation permits.
2 . A wading bird habitat management plan shall be
developed, approved by Florida Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission, and implemented,
Seasonal wading bird use shall be monitored by
a qualified environmental consultant to
establish success of management area.
3 . Turbidity barriers shall be used between the
excavation and wildlife management areas. No
water shall be discharged into the management
area. The barriers shall be clearly indicated
on the final site construction plans.
4. If the management area fails, the applicant
shall be responsible for off-site mitigation at
a rate of 2 : 1 or as approved by FGFWFC .
5 . Excavation and rock processing shall not occur
within so many feet (number to be determined)
of the woodstork nesting area during the
nesting season, and no blasting may occur
during woodstork nesting seasons .
6 . The FGFWFC shall be extended the opportunity to
review and comment on the final configurations
of the excavations to ensure that wildlife
habitat has been adequately protected, by
appropriately designed shelves and slopes.
7 . The petitioner shall provide an adjacent well
survey within the influence of dewatering
drawdown. The survey shall include location of
wells, uses, depths, withdrawals and any pre-
dicted effects the project will have on the
surrounding wells. Petitioner shall address
the potential for saltwater intrusion prior to
issuance of permits for the commercial excava-
tion.
8 . Prior to issuance of excavation permits an
approved groundwater monitoring plan shall be
submitted with specified parameters, monitoring
schedule, proposed allowable variations and
Page 19

contingency plan if variables exceed their
allowable limits. These plans shall be
reviewed and approved by Collier County
Environmental Services hydrologists .
9 . The excavations shall not exceed 20 feet in
depth unless it can be demonstrated from a com-
parative water quality study that depths in
excess of 20 feet will not have a detrimental
effect on the groundwater resources in the
surrounding area. This determination must be
addressed prior to issuance of commercial exca-
vation permits for the site.

PETITION NO. PUD-87-12 (1 )
FILED BY/FOR: Robert H. Flinn of Audubon Joint Venture
REQUESTING: A PUD Amendment to Audubon Country Club
REPRESENTED BY: Robert H. Flinn
COMMENTS: Don Lusk, representing the Audubon of Naples
Development , indicated on a display map the portion
of property referred to as Tract Q which is being
Page 22
y .
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17 , 1991
proposed to be separated out of the existing
Audubon Country Club PUD. He also pointed out on
the map the proposed road through the wetlands
which would be eliminated with the removal of Tract
Q. He advised that the other changes proposed are
to clarify the setbacks. He noted that the removal
of Tract Q from the PUD will reduce the density.
In response to Mr . Lusk' s comments regarding stipu-
lation (a) , Environmental Specialist Prynoski com-
mented that the setback requirements from the
preserve areas are only ten to twenty feet which is
minimal buffer to a preserve area, and changing two
feet of a ten foot buffer would be impacting 20% of
the buffer area. Mr. Lusk remarked that he accepts
stipulation (a) and (b) .
Mr . Lusk informed that he does have a concern
regarding stipulations (c) , (d) , and (e) because
the new language has complicated the issue; there-
fore, he would like to retain the original
language. Ms. Prynoski agreed that a stipulation
can be inserted that indicates that the proposed
language would be deleted and that Section 8 will
remain with the original PUD language.
Mr . Lusk noted that he also is troubled by stipula-
tion (g) which is Stipulation 9 . 02 F( 10) of the PUD
because staff has removed language which his attor-
ney has inserted for clarification. Ms. Prynoski
stated that the removed language is repetitious and
subject to interpretation. She suggested that if
Mr . Lusk does want this to remain, it should be
linked to something and not left free-standing.
Mr . Lusk recommended that it be included earlier in
the paragraph.
Chief Environmental Specialist Worsham stated that
he has a second concern about stipulation (g)
because it could allow one environmental parameter
to be redesigned which would effect another . Mr .
Lusk suggested that the words, "with advice from
other appropriate staff and specific approval from
the Environmental office, " be added to the sentence
in question. Mr . Worsham agreed.
Ms. Prynoski clarified that stipulation (g) will
reflect the change as, " . . . Master Development
Plan. Boundaries for residential development
Page 23
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL APRIL 17 , 1991
. subject to approval of all applicable agencies.
Such changes may be approved by the Planning
Services Directors with approval from Project
Review Services Environmental Staff . . . "
In answer to Mr . Lusk' s concern about the reference
to the boat docks in stipulation (g) , Mr . Worsham
advised that this would refer to any proposed
future docks and a disclaimer to this effect will
be added to the sentence.
MOTION: Made by Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr._Turrell, to
approve PUD-87-12(1) , subject to the amended staff
stipulations as follows:
STIPULATIONS:
1 . Petitioner shall make the following changes to
the PUD-87-12 ( 1 ) document :
a) Change proposed language of 3 . 05 . 07 to

waived by the Development Services Director
in any Development Parcel where a site
development plan is approved for an entire
Development Parcel which shows the position
and relationships of all proposed struc-
tures.
b) Change proposed language of 4. 05 to read:
The foregoing standards, with the exception
of setbacks to preserve areas, may be
waived by the Development Services Director
in any Development Parcel where a site
