III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The petitioner proposes to obtain a provisional use and related
excavation permits to complete an earth mining operation on a 203
acre site which began approximately ten (10) years ago, but was
abandoned in recent years. Also there will be an excavation of
trenches around the earth mining excavation for the purposes of
providing raw water supply source for the Marco Island utility
company.
The proposed lake will consist of 84. 0 acres. The trenches will
have an area of 21.5 acres. There will be a 0.5 acre area
reserved for the raw water facilities. An area of 8.7 acres will
be utilized for processing of excavated materials. The site will
preserve a wading bird habitat management area of 28 acres. The
remainder of the site will consist of a haul road and open space.
The only access to the project site will be from U. S. 41.

IV. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The subject project property was originally given a Provisional
Use Zoning approval and an excavation permit as an earth mining
operation in 1979 by the Board of County Commissioners in Collier
County. The excavation began in the southern end of the tract in
Section 7, but prior to completion of the excavation, the original
contractor went out of business. Subsequent excavation work by
several contractors involved the stripping of the overburden and
hauling of same off-site. It was through this activity that the
site was substantially scarred, with natural ground elevation
being approximately at elevation 5.0 ft. NGVD. The overburden was
removed down to the cap rock at an average elevation of 2.5 ft.
NGVD, which resulted in an area of approximately 100 acres that
experiences periodic/seasonal flooding due to surface water
run-off. These areas were left abandoned with an average of 18
inches of standing water during the wet season and are
substantially dry during the dry season.
Since early 1988, there has been no activity on-site and the
property ownership was acquired in total by the current owner,
Southfield Farms Corporation. Due to termination of activity
on-site, the current direction being pursued is the re-submission,
to all appropriate agencies, for applicable permits.
As a result of the previous excavation activities on the site, a
large, shallow impoundment with one foot deep, 16 acre lake area
and a trench system were created making an ideal habitat for
wading and diving birds. A 28 acre area has been proposed as a
preserve for wildlife habitat. The Florida Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission (FGFWFC) has been contacted by the petitioner, and
prior to any excavation approval, the FGFWFC will provide
recommendations and any restrictions of excavation activities
during the nesting season.
The site will consist of two separate permits; one permit for the
trenches for the water withdrawal and the other for the lakes.
The applicant has requested two separate permits so that the water
withdrawal to Marco Island may begin prior to the completion of
the lake. This is feasible because the two excavations will not
be interconnected.
/-\
EAB Meeting 1/8/1992
Petitions PU-91-1/59.80/59.423
Page 3
The water withdrawal trenches will be excavated in two phases.
The first phase will consist of the southerly trench and the
second phase will be for the eastern and western trench sections.
All excavated material from the trenches will remain on-site until
the improvements on U. S. 41 (right turn lane) have been
constructed. The permit for the lake will not be issued until the
trenches are completed and the road improvements constructed.
The existing drainage characteristics of the property include
on-site retention of surface water run-off with no direct
discharge off-site. There exist off-site flows coming onto site
from surrounding agricultural lands. These discharges have been
permitted by South Florida Water Management District and the
applicant has agreed to continue receiving these flows on the
project site. Provisions have been made accordingly.
On May 8, 1991, the excavations and the provisional use petition
was heard by the Water Management Advisory Board (WMAB) . The WMAB
members, as well as concerned property owners adjacent to the
project site, raised questions in relation to the potential
effects of this activity on the water quality and adjacent ground
and water surfaces as well as the haul routing. The WMAB agreed
to continue all petitions and not bring them back to the WMAB for
two months.
On July 10, 1991, the subject petition was heard again only for
the provisional use since the information provided before WMAB for
the excavations was not adequate enough for Staff to make any kind
of recommendations in terms of maximum excavation depths. The
WMAB members, as well as adjacent property owners, had concerns
regarding any potential effects of the proposed excavation on the
properties adjacent to the project site in terms of salt water
intrusion, and lowering of the water table and its effects on crop
yields and pumping. The WMAB directed Staff to contact the South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to discuss the
District's review of the water use permit, which has been issued.
The adjacent residents were also concerned with where the haul
route was going to be located, as well as fencing the site. The
WMAB recommended continuing this petition until these concerns
were addressed by the petitioner.
Following, there is a discussion of each concern brought up by the
WMAB.
1. The SFWMD has responded to the County and stated that their
permits were issued in accordance with their minimum requirements.
2. The haul route and fencing issues will be stipulated to limit the
haul route to U. S. 41.
EAB Meeting 1/8/1992
Petitions PU-91-1/59.80/59.423

3. The petitioner's consultant for the water quality analysis
(Missimer & Associates, Inc. ) has provided the County with an
analysis of hydrogeologic impacts resulting from mining and
water production on this site. The Collier County
hydrogeologist, Dr. Gail Gibson, has been reviewing and
interpreting this analysis. The most important questions that
have been raised are: To what depth is the excavation safe?
What effects would the water pumping have on the surrounding
properties? Extent of any salt water intrusion into the water
table?
4. In the petitioner's analysis of the geologic data, the Bonita
Springs Marl semi-confining layer was interpreted to be of
varying thickness across the site, and as being absent across
both the northern part and in the central area of the site.
This interpretation also placed the depth to the top of this
unit as being between approximately 15 and 24 feet below the
surface. Dr. Gibson's interpretation of geologic data is that
the proposed 30 foot excavation depth would breach the Bonita
Springs Marl. The petitioner's analysis showed that under
pumping conditions, chloride values of 160 to 200 mg/1 could
be expected from upconing beneath the excavation in the
presence of a confining unit. The same analysis suggests that
chloride values of 200 to 220 mg/1 could be expected in the
excavation in the absence of a confining unit.
Dr. Gibson's conclusions based on his interpretation of the
presence of the Bonita Springs Marl across the site, and the
petitioner's interpretation of the extent of the increase in
chloride values is that the presence of a continuous layer
would serve to retard saline water upconing during pumping.
Whereas, a discontinuous layer or absence or otherwise
ineffective confining layer would have little or no effect on
upconing during pumping.
5. The petitioner's consultant generated a computer model of the
generalized effects on the ground water table of the combined
maximum permitted withdrawal volumes of the proposed site and
the surrounding users. The model illustrates the depression
of the water across the modeled area, including the
generalized withdrawal locations of the surrounding users and
the proposed site. The model also predicts that the radius of
the cone of depression at the one (1) foot drawdown contour
would be increased by 900 feet. This model was based on
generalized information in the form of summarized water usage
by section and assuming a central location of all wells within
three (3) adjacent sections.
EAB Meeting 1/8/1992
Petitions PU-91-1/59.80/59.423
Page 5
Dr. Gibson's analysis of the water quality report, raised
questions due to inconsistencies among data, data analysis, and
the conclusions based on that data. As an example of these
discrepancies, Dr. Gibson related to the safe yield report of
August 1990, in which report models (Fig. 5-5) indicated that
upconing of saline waters with chloride concentrations of 200 to
220 mg/i could occur, yet the text of that report indicated a
maximum value of approximately 190 mg/1 could occur.
Discrepancies like these make it very difficult for County Staff
to arrive at any kind of recommendations. However, after a period
of time of communication between the County and the petitioner, it
is recognized the the methodologies used to acquire geologic and
hydrogeologic data are generally acknowledged as adequate. Based
on this, Staff feel comfortable making a recommendation for this
petition.
The consultant for the petitioner recommends water quality
monitoring for dissolved chloride, conductivity, and pH. The
monitoring frequency of once weekly during excavation with
dewatering, monthly during excavation without dewatering, and
prior to excavation (interval unspecified) was suggested by the
consultant. More over, the SFWMD consumptive use permits require
ground water monitoring during any withdrawal of water for public
consumption. Staff recommends a pre-excavation ground water
monitoring program that includes the parameters mentioned above
from those sites of the permanent monitoring wells with a minimum
of one sampling.
The trenches are proposed to be excavated to a depth of 15 feet,
which would be to the top of the Bonita springs Marl as
interpreted from the Alamo/Saxena (ASC) data. The lake has a
proposed excavation depth of 30 feet. This depth would penetrate
the entire thickness of the Marl, even at the deepest extent of
the top of the unit. Based on this data and interpretation, Staff
recommends that the maximum excavation depth be limited to fifteen
(15) feet.
The stormwater retention system for this project has been designed
for a 25-year, 3-day storm event with zero discharge. The water
management system meets the requirement of water quality and
quantity in accordance with SFWMD.
Environmental:
Collier County Project Review Services Environmental Staff took
petition PU-91-1 to the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) on
April 17, 1991. The petition was presented and reviewed by the
EAC with recommendations to include nine stipulations (see
recommendations, Environmental) . The following Staff comments are
excerpts of the 4/17/1991 EAC staff report.

Collier County Project Review Services Environmental Staff,
Collier county Environmental Services Hydrogeologists and Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission Staff visited the site on
January 14, 1991 and March 1, 1991, and offer the following
observations:
The subject property is the site of a previously abandoned
excavation which has created a functioning wetland with
significant wildlife value. The shallow previously mined
pit has rock and borrow piled along the edges and scattered
throughout the center. A cypress dominated area is located
to the northeast of the pit; separated by a berm. Some of
the wildlife observed on site visits include woodstorks in
large numbers, ospreys, mallard ducks, an immature bald
eagle, little blue herons, tricolored herons, snowy egrets,
white ibis, red shouldered hawks, American alligators with
young, Florida sandhill cranes, great blue herons and
greater yellowlegs. The site contains significant habitat
for wading and diving birds and foraging raptures.
Project Review Services Environmental Staff formally requested a
letter of technical assistance from the Florida Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission. That letter recommended mitigation for
impacts to listed wildlife species. Staff has included those
recommendations as stipulations.
This site's proximity to the Collier County Salinity Line
(U.S. 41) poses a potential for salt water intrusion under heavy
pumping. The applicant is currently addressing this problem with
the Collier County Environmental Services hydrogeological staff.

IV. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The proposed water management system consists of 56.5 acres of
lakes and 165 acres of open space. The project will have two
water management systems. One will consist of 395.9 acres north
of the east-west Livingston Road and which excludes 26. 5 acres of
lakes and wetland preserve. The other system consists of a 10
acres multi-family tract south of the east-west Livingston Road.
The 395.9 acres system generated runoff will be collected by
various dry swales, culverts and drainage structures and be
directed towards the lakes. Runoff will be detained in the lakes
for water quality treatment prior to final discharge through the
proposed control structure and into the Livingston road drainage
system. The control structure is located on the north side of
Livingston Road (east-west direction) and will have a limited
discharge of 0.04 cfs/acre or 15.8 cfs.
The 10 acre multi-family tract consists of 2 .0 acres of lake which
will detain for water quality and quantity treatment prior to
final discharge through the proposed control structure and into
the Livingston Road drainage system. The control structure is
located on the southside of Livingston Road east-west direction)
and will have a limited discharge of 0.04 cfs/acres or 0.4 cfs.
The water levels in the Livingston Road drainage system will be
maintained well below the project's control elevation. This
project discharges to the Cocohatchee River Basin near its
northern most extremity.
The water management system meets the requirements of water
quality and quantity in accordance with South Florida Water
Management District criteria.
Environmental:
Approximately thirty-eight percent (±38%) of the site has been
altered by past farming and residential land uses. The majority
of the site remains undeveloped and shows no recent signs of
clearing. Since the applicant obtained rezone approval on June 6,
1990, he has placed approximately thirty head of cattle on the
site. The cattle have not created any significant environmental
changes since the rezone approval.
According to the referenced letters from Hole, Montes and
Associates, Inc, the applicant does not anticipate any other
agricultural activities other than passive cattle grazing.
EAB Meeting 1/8/92
PUD-89-29 (1)

MEMORANDUM
TO: EAB Members
FROM: Barbara N. Prynoskila
Chief Environmental Specialist
DATE: January 2, 1992
RE: EAB Ordinance No. 91-68/EIS Issues
Enclosed please find the legal interpretation of Collier
County Ordinance No. 91-68, specifically addressing the
requirement of the EAB to review all petitions requiring an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) , including those
petitions meeting the criteria for an EIS exemption per the
Collier County Land Development Code Division 3 . 8 . It
appears that EIS exempt petitions are not "required" to be
reviewed by the EAB.
At the January 8, 1992 EAB meeting, it is requested that the
EAB direct Staff as to whether the Board will not be
reviewing EIS exempt petitions or that it will review them
as: (i) regular agenda items; (ii) administrative approvals;
or (iii) consent agenda items. Please note that petitions
meeting the EIS exemption criteria may have water management
concerns.
I hope that this response adequately addresses your inquiry.
Thank you.

TO: Barbara N. Prynoski, Chief Environmental Specialist,
Development Services Department,
Community Development Services Division
FROM: David C. Weigel, Assistant County Attorney/00*
RE: RLS Item #DPR11089101, regarding the EAB Ordinance,
No. 91-68/EIS Issues
You have indicated that the Environmental Advisory Board has
requested a legal interpretation concerning its duties pursuant
to Collier County Ordinance No. ! 91-68, the EAB Ordinance, and
particularly, section 6 thereof, which provides that, "The
Environmental Advisory Board shall review all land development
petitions which require an Environmental Impact Statement. . ."
Specifically, the question is: "Are petitions which meet the
criteria for an EIS exemption per Collier County Land Development
n Code Division 3 .8 required to be heard by the EAB?"
In response to the foregoing issue and questions, it is my
opinion that the language of Ordinance No. 91-68 should be
afforded the normal meaning of the words, taken in conjunction
with the requirements of the Collier County Land Development '
Code, Division 3 .8, as applicable. Section 3.8.3 of the Code
provides specific requirements when an environmental impact
statement shall be required prior to any type of building permit,
conditional use, zoning change, planting, development, site
alteration, etc. , shall occur to real property. Section 3.8.9 of
the Code also provides for exemptions from the requirement of
providing an EIS, such exemptions being applicable to and
modifying the otherwise absolute requirement of an EIS pursuant
to Section 3 .8.3 of the Code, which includes the acreage
threshold and other criteria. Therefore, any land development
petitions which do not require an environmental impact statement
pursuant to the Collier County Land Development Code, Section
3 .8.9 as applied to Section 3.8.3, shall not be reviewed by the
Environmental Advisory Board pursuant to Ordinance No. 91-68,
absent other criteria which would bring such petitions before the
EAB.
Section Two of Ordinance No. 91-68 does provide for the EAB
to function as an environmental impact statement (EIS) appeal
board pursuant to Collier County Ordinance No. 77-66, which has
been superseded by the Land Development Code, Division 3.8. In
this manner, the EAB shall still be involved with those land
development petitions/matters for which an appeal is triggered
pursuant to the provisions of The Collier County Land Development
Code, Division 3 .8.
I hope the forgoing information and opinion is of assistance
to you. If you should have any further questions in this regard,
please feel free to contact me.

The scope of this project is to plant approximately 1, 000 mangrove
trees at the Clam Pass site and to plant about 5, 500 mangrove
trees at the Wiggins Pass site. After the planting of the trees,
the applicant will be responsible to have at least an 80% survival
rate of the plants he has installed. The applicant is to perform
a monitoring program for three (3) years to insure the survival
rate of the plants.
Due to the nature of the DER permit conditions and the Consent
Order, this project must meet two criteria; 1) that 4 ,400
mangrove trees be planted, and 2) that $8,200 be sent to DER for
environmental enhancement performed in lieu of a monetary penalty
to resolve a violation. The final quantity of mangrove trees and
Spartina patens planted will be based on the above stipulations.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of Special Treatment Petition ST-91-13
with the following stipulations.

paragraph 6. He noted that the environmental staff
did review the site, and when the rezoning was
addressed, staff followed the SFWMD jurisdictional
boundaries. He stated that he cannot see how con-
_ cerns for this 146 acres would effect or challenge
a document that provided for 11 ,000 acres of pre-
servation land in 1982 .
Mr. Addison commented that the petition will need
legal review and will need to be addressed at the
September, 1991 , EAC meeting.
Mr. Turrell concurred with Mr. Addison and
suggested that the petitioner submit any requested
information to the Conservancy. He noted that the
petitioner needs to work with the Conservancy and
resolve the concerns that have been related.
Dr. Martin commented that with data still being
researched on the impact of electromagnetic fields,
he suggested that the petitioner provide infor-
mation on whether there is a concern regarding the
proposed recreation area on the subject property.

"Southampton PUD" , and the companion .is an SMP. He
commented that the subject property is 113 . 5 acres
. and is located south of Immokalee Road and west of
Airport Road. He advised that the approved PUD is
residential with a golf course. He described the
modifications to the original PUD to include the
Page 8
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL AUGUST 21 , 1991
relocation of the entrance from Immokalee Road to
the East, routing changes to the golf course for
holes 10 through 18, a relocation of the club site,
elimination of an aqua-range, the residential
• acreage has been reduced, the golf course open
space and lake acreages have been increased, and
the Creek Hammock system has been further defined
in terms of the jurisdictional wetland and upland
components with the acreage changing slightly and a
change to the crossing locations of this system.
He related that the proposed changes will enhance
the property. He pointed out that the proposed
changes have recognized the significance of the
Creek Hammock system and ought to be retained. He
explained that in addition to the 17 .7 acres of
wetlands which are DER jurisdictional, upland
acreage has been identified to be included in the
land use designation called Creek Hammock. He
pointed out that the environmental impacts are all
positive. He specified that the projects storm-
water will be reintroduced into the creek which
will bring flowing water back to the system when
possible. He informed that the exotic plant life
will be removed from the wetlands. He reported
that the proposed water management for the project
will be controlled at a higher level of elevation
than the wetlands since the wetlands cannot be
controlled by the project because they are DER
jurisdictional. He provided for the council mem-
bers the specific water elevation levels throughout
the creek system and the proposed control system to
be used. He remarked that all permitting agencies
have agreed with the proposed system. He advised
that they will work closely with the environmental
staff on this project. He noted that there is one
stipulation that the petitioner does not agree
with.
Environmental Specialist Polen concurred that the
most distinct feature on the subject site is the
Creek Hammock area. She noted that with the pro-
posed boardwalk system, the exotic plant life will
be controlled on the site. She related that there
is some concern as to the upland habitat on-site.
She specified that while walking on the property
she came across ten active gopher tortoises and
there probably are more as is mentioned in more
detail in her staff report.•- In regards to the
water elevation levels proposed, Ms. Polen informed
A
Page 9
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL AUGUST 21 , 1991
that they are standard stipulations based on the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Addison questioned how much flexibility the
petitioner did have in order to accommodate the
concerns regarding the gopher tortoises?
Mr . Reynolds responded that there is quite a bit of
flexibility with the golf course. He advised that
they will survey the property for the active gopher
tortoises nests and where necessary relocate them.
He added that in addition to this, the petitioner
plans on doing extensive tree location work where
possible. He informed that they do not anticipate
any problems with the Florida Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission on this project.
Dr. Martin concurred with the concerns regarding
the general habitat . He questioned how the peti-
tioner will address the sludge issue since basin
two in the past has been identified as a sludge
disposal site. He also questioned where the
material will go that is cleared from the creek
bottom and what will be provided for base flow
should it not rain for a day or two?
Mr. Reynolds commented that the creek system is not
intended to be disturbed and any actual impact will
be at the road crossings. He noted that any trees
that cannot be retained, the County's policy 6 . 5
will be followed. In regards to the sludge issue,
Mr. Reynolds informed that this has been reviewed
and found to be of little concern because the
material organic. He advised that regarding the
creek flow, it will be virtually impossible to
create a constant flow although the lake system
will be kept at the highest possible and discharged
into the system. He added that they will do what
they can within the permitting authority that they
have.
Dr. Martin requested the data information on the
old sludge. Mr. Reynolds affirmed that he will
provide all information available on the sludge.
In reference to staff 's stipulations, Mr. Reynolds
stated that the proposed changes have been reviewed
by staff and concurrence has been reached on all
but one. He provided to the council members an
Page 10
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL AUGUST 21 , 1991
agreement sheet (not provided for the record)
noting the changes. He pointed out that the one
stipulation that has not been agreed to with staff
is stipulation 7. He noted that the concern with
this stipulation is highly technical and can be
addressed with staff during the construction plan
review process. He advised that they are proposing
to eliminate stipulation 7 ; however, there is pro-
posed modified language that may be satisfactory to
the petitioner and staff . He cited that there is
no problem with the second sentence of this stipu-
lation and is willing to leave this part of the
stipulation in the agreement sheet . He explained
the problem with the first sentence is that the
petitioner does not have any control over the water
elevations within the wetland systems. He added
that this is a unique situation and the standard
stipulation of using biological indicators does not
apply. He suggested that the control elevations be
set in accordance with the requirements of the
South Florida Water Management District and review
with staff at the time of construction plan review.
In response to Ms. Polen, Mr. Reynolds informed
that the water management system for the lakes
involve separate basins for each versus a cascading
system downward. He pointed out that this system
has been endorsed by the staff and the Water
Management Board previously.
Ms. Polen stated that as to the requested changes
by the petitioner to the stipulations, staff agrees
with the terminology changes to stipulations 3 and
4 . She informed that staff would like the language
to stipulation 9 to read, "The proposed boardwalk
located within the jurisdictional wetland shall be
elevated and shall meander to avoid the clearing of
any protected trees and shall be approved by Pro-
ject Review Services - Environmental Staff, in
accordance with requirements of the FDER and Corps
permits. " She explained that this will require
stipulation 1 to be changed to read, " . . . all
federal and state jurisdictional determinations and
permits, . . . " Stipulation 10, she cited, should
read, "The native vegetation, specifically oaks
greater than 4 inches in diameter at breast height
and cabbage palms that cannot be retained shall be
evaluated by the project landscape architect, and

accordance to the guidelines of policy 6.51 of the
Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the
Growth Management Plan. " She noted that in regards
to stipulation 7, staff feels that SFWMD criteria
should be considered as well as the Collier County
Comprehensive Plan, policies 6. 2 . 13 and 6. 2 . 14, for
review and approval by staff.
Environmental Specialist Prynoski suggested that
the language for stipulation 7 read, "The control
elevation shall be established which provide hydro-
periods that reasonably assure successful restora-
tion, preservation, and/or enhancement of the
wetlands. Control structure elevation deter-
mination shall be supported with engineering and
biological data to include but not be limited to
lichen line elevations. "
Mr. Reynolds agreed to the changes suggested by
staff .

The intent of these "Standard Conditions" are to provide excavation
permit applicants a summary of conditions. which may affect their
projects and which should be taken into consideration during all
stages of project development:
1. Haul routes between an excavation site and an arterial road
shall be private with property owner(s) approval or be a public
collector road built to standards applicable to handle the
resulting truck traffic. Where residential areas front
collector roads, appropriate turn lanes, buffer. and bikepath .
shall be required as minimal site improvements and if
recommended for approval, shall be so with the condition that
the Transportation Services Administration reserves the right
to suspend or prohibit off-site removal of excavated material
should such removal create a hazardous road condition or
substantially deteriorate a road condition; such action by the
Transportation Services Administration shall be subject to
appeal before the Board of County Commissioners.
2 . Haul routes utilizing public roads shall be subject to road
maintenance and road repair or an appropriate fair share by the
permittee in accordance with Excavation Ordinance No. 88-26 and

sentation, detailing pertinent information for con-
sideration, followed up with staff providing
technical information relative to policies, codes
and ordinances .
A discussion ensued with respect to the format of
the staff report which combines water management
and environmental comments and concerns and conclu-
des with the stipulations. Ms. Prynoski suggested

NOVEMBER 6, 1991
PETITION NO. PUD-83-18 (1 ) , DOA-91-2, and SMP-91-12
FILED BY/FOR: Mr. William R. Vines, representing Ashley M.
Papineau, Partner, Tollgate Commercial Center, A
Florida Partnership
REQUESTING: A Planned Unit Development Amendment , Development
Order Amendment and Subdivision Master Plan
REPRESENTED BY: Mr . William R. Vines
COMMENTS: Mr. Vidzes advised that due to a conflict , he will
abstain from voting on this project .
Mr. William Vines explained that the three peti-
tions relate to an existing under development pro-
ject at the intersection of 1-75 and CR-951 . He
revealed that the purpose of this application is to
expand the acreage as a result of the southern
boundary of the project which was the old Alligator
Alley entrance to the old toll booth. He indicated
that this will expand the project from 70 acres to
100 acres. In addition, he reported that the ori-
ginal project was a DRI/PUD approved in 1984 and
subject to wetland permitting. He announced that
the permitting rules changed after 1984 which
necessitates a modification to the Master Plan.
Mr. Vines stated that DER, and the Corps have
issued permits, and noted that the Master Plan has
been amended to conform with the State and Federal
permits.
Mr . Vines voiced concurrence with staff ' s stipula-
tions as referenced in the staff report , but
requested clarification of Environmental
Stipulation #3 . He advised that the control struc-
ture levels were set some time ago and the water
management plan is subject to an issued Water
Management District permit and development to date
has occurred in connection with the approved plan
and control elevations. He related that the
wetland restoration/creation activities that are
required are related to those existing control ele-
vations. He noted that the objective of
Stipulation #3 has been satisfied, however, the
control elevations are set and are not to be set .
Environmental Specialist Polen stated that the pro-
ject site lies within the Belle Meade/Henderson
Page 4
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 6, 1991
Creek Watershed of the Rookery Bay Aquatic
Preserve. She indicated that the natural drainage
of the site is in a sheet flow to the south-
southwest across the site and ground elevations
within the project site range from 9. 7 to 11 . 8 feet
above mean sea level . She remarked that this
year ' s seasonal high water elevation appears to be
reaching its maximum at around + 10 . 8 NGVD(s) .
Ms. Polen advised that the petitioner has opted to
fill the original wetland retention area that was
in the PUD of approximately 13 acres and is now
substituting created wetlands of 11 . 5 acres. She
noted that the wetlands have been designed with a
9 . 4 feet water elevation control . She cited that
staff desires to ensure that the areas downstream
as well as upstream will continue to restore the
hydroperiods of those areas.
Mr. Craig Smith, of Kevin Erwin, Consulting
Ecologists, stated that this project is surrounded
on three sides by roadways. He indicated that the
historical drainage through the site has been
disrupted and no longer functions as it did before
Alligator Alley y was put through and before I-75 was
constructed to the north. In addition, he noted
that the project should not be designed to function
perfectly as it is now, but rather to function
after the project is built . He indicated that
determination must be made as to what the water
levels will be post development , noting that those
are dictated by earlier permits which has been
established to be 9 . 4 feet .
Mr . Neale suggested that Stipulation #3 be modified
to read: "Within the parameters set by the Corps
of Engineers, DER, and South Florida Water
Management District , control elevations shall be
established which provide hydroperiods that reaso-
nably assure successful restoration/preservation
and/or enhancement of the wetlands . "
Mr . Vines affirmed that he has no problem with the
language as suggested by Mr . Neale, but this sub-
ject has been satisfactorily dealt with relating to
Corps, DER and the Water Management District . He
stated if the County has a different view which
would result in changing the previously approved
permits, this would be impossible. He indicated
Page 5
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 6, 1991
that the language suggests the petitioner do what
has already been done.
Ms. Polen reported that if the ground elevation
could be controlled to approximately 10 feet ,
hydroperiods could be restored down the line.
Mr . Hermanson suggested that the language reflect
"Created on-site wetlands shall be set in accor-
dance with the applicable regulatory agencies. "
There were no speakers.
MOTION: Made by Mr. Hermanson to recommend approval of
Petitions PUD-83-18(1) , DOA-91-2 and SMP-91-12,
subject to staff's stipulations and the modifica-
tion of Stipulation #3 to read: "On-site wetlands
shall be constructed in accordance with the
approved permits issued by the State and Federal
jurisdictional agencies. " Seconded by Ms. Watts.
Carried 4/0 (Mr. Vidzes abstained) .

Ferrin, General Partner, The Falls, Ltd.
REQUESTING: Rezone and Subdivision Master Plan approval
REPRESENTED BY: Reed Jarvi and Michael Fernandez of Agnoli,
Barber and Brundage, Inc .
COMMENTS: Mr. Fernandez indicated the Petitioner is in
agreement with Staff ' s stipulations with the excep-
tion of Environmental Stipulation #2 . He requested
that it be modified to allow mitigation to occur in
one well-functioning, contiguous piece in the
southern portion of the property.
Patrick Neale suggested the last sentence of Stipu-
lation #2 be changed to read, "Proposed wetland
mitigation shall first be considered on site and
contiguous to the wetlands located in the south-
western corner of the site. "

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 6, 1991
REQUESTING: PUD Amendment and Subdivision Master Plan approval
REPRESENTED BY: Michael Fernandez and Reed Jarvi
COMMENTS: Mr. Neale left the meeting during discussion of
this item.
Mr. Fernandez provided the Board with an Open Space
Analysis for the North Park Center . He proposed
alternative language to the Water Management and
Environmental Stipulations as proposed by Staff .
After lengthy discussion, Technical Services
Supervisor Stephanie Smith clarified that
Stipulations #1 , #2 and #3 under Water Management
will remain as listed in the Staff Report , and
Stipulation #4 will be added as follows: "It is
the intent of North Park Center to utilize an off
site water management facility within the Beachway
PUD. This water management area will be in a dedi-
cated easement that will be shown on the North Park
Center plat . The easement can be subsequently
modified subject to Staff approval and/or Board of
County Commissioners approval Pp provided its func-
tional
performance is maintained. "
Mr . Worsham proposed additional language within
Stipulation #1 under Environmental , and added
Stipulation #4 to allow credit toward the required
landscaping but not toward the requirement to
retain 1546 of existing native habitat on site.
MOTION: Made by Mr. Worsham to recommend approval of
PUD-89-31 (1) and SMP-91-15 subject to the stipula-
tions as amended above and the additional stipula
tions. Seconded by Mr. Vidzes, Carried 4/0.
