"STANDARD CONDITIONS"
EXCAVATION PERMIT APPLICATIONS INVOLVING
OFF-SITE REMOVAL OF MATERIAL
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. 92-73 and
Right-of-Way Ordinance No. 82-91.
3 . Off-site removal of excavated material shall be subject to
Ordinance No. 92-22 (Road Impact Ordinance) . A traffic and
road impact analysis shall be made by the County to determine
the effects that off-site removal of excavated material will
have on the road system within the excavation project's zone of
influence. If appropriate, road impact fees in accordance with
Ordinance No. 92-22 shall be paid prior to the issuance of an
excavation permit.
4 . The Transportation Services Administration reserves the right
to establish emergency weight limits on public roadways
affected by the off-site removal of excavated material; the
procedure for establishment of weight limits shall be the
presentation of an applicable resolution before the Board of
County Commissioners. Should weight limits be instituted, the
permittee shall be responsible to implement measure to assure
that all heavy truck loadings leaving the permit's property
conform to the applicable weight restriction.
5 . The Excavation Performance Guarantee shall apply to excavation
operations and also the maintenance/repair of public roads in
accordance with current ordinances and applicable permit
stipulations .
•
•
6 . Based on soil boring information per Ordinance No. 92-73 , a
blasting permit may be appropriate. Should a blasting permit
application be submitted and should residential areas exist
within one mile of the excavation site, the County reserves the
right to deny a blasting permit based on concerns for off-site
impacts from blasting at an excavation site. Should a blasting
permit be considered and approved, the minimum conditions of
approval in addition to conditions per Ordinance No. 92-73 are
as follows:
A. Structure inventory/monitoring and applicable property
owner release as required by the Development Services
Director.
B. Security bond applicable to private property damage
acceptable to the County.
C. Control of size/depth/number of charges per blast by
the Development Services Director.
•
D. The right of the County to suspend and/or revoke
blasting permit authority should be determined that
blasting activities are creating unacceptable off-site
conditions either in terms of private property damage
and/or related physical effects of blasting
operations.
7 . No excavation permit shall be issued until receipt of a
release from the Transportation Services Administration
applicable to proper mitigation of off-site impacts,
meeting of applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 82-91,
Ordinance No. 92-22, and Ordinance No. 92-73 .

Water Management:
The developer is applying for a commercial permit to dig the lakes
deeper to generate enough fill to raise the residential areas and
golf course out of the water. No fill will leave the site.
Portions of the site have been previously cleared. Much of the
proposed excavation will be done in these areas that were cleared
based on a previous development excavation permit.
Environmental:
The commercial excavation permit will allow for minor relocation
of the lake/water management system. Most of the proposed
excavation will be done in areas that were previously cleared.
The clearing plan calls for re-vegetation of previously cleared
areas currently designated as preserve area on the new PUD Master
Plan.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of Commercial Excavation Permit No.

MEETING OF January 3, 1996
I. NAME OF PETITIONER/PROJECT:
Petition No. : CU-95-15
Petition Name: Highland Properties of Lee and Collier,
LTD.
Applicant/Developer: James H. Siesky
Engineering Consultant: Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A.
Environmental Consultant: Prine Environmental
II. LOCATION:
The subject property is a 143 . 5 acre parcel with approximately 32
acres (not a part of this petition) to be used for a future County
Park. It is located on the north side of East U. S. 41 immediately
adjacent and west of the Lely Resort PUD property, in Section 33 ,
Township 50 South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida.
III. DESCRIPTION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES:
The property is surrounded by mostly vacant land and some land
under development. The north and east property lines abut the
Lely Resort PUD which is mostly undeveloped at this time. U. S. 41
is located to the south and the property to the west is mostly
Agricultural and unused with a small portion to the northwest in
residential use.
ZONING DESCRIPTION

IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project consists of a 143 . 5± parcel with three (3) treated
effluent storage ponds of approximately 67 . 1 acres. A 32 acre
site will be used for excavated soil storage. The remaining 44
acres is made up of berms, wetlands, and forested uplands. The
entire site will eventually become a County park/recreation area.

Treated Effluent Storage Ponds set of plans (nine sheets) ,
prepared by Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A. (file name
MSSWINDX) , revised 11/13/95 .
V. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The ponds are surrounded by berms to elevation 12 . 2 , which is
about 7 feet above existing ground. Any rain falling on the ponds
will raise the pond water level on a one to one basis. (e.g. a
12" rainfall will raise the water level 12") .
Since the maximum anticipated effluent storage elevations is at
9 . 2 NGVD, the engineer put the emergency overflow pipe at
elevation 10 . 25 . That allows 100% storage of a 12 . 37" storm,
which is the 3 day 72 hour event.
This is of course, dependent on Collier County insuring that the
effluent storage elevation does not exceed 9 . 2 NGVD.
It should be remembered that during extended periods of heavy
precipitation, golf course irrigation is at a minimum, water
tables are up, and various entities are looking for places to
store water. At times like these, water falling on an
undeveloped, inundated site, leaves as sheetflow with a runoff
coefficient nearing 1. 0 (i . e. 100%) .
Environmental:
The acreage for the Conditional Use is approximately 143 . 5 acres
less the 32 acres proposed for a County Park. Three treated
effluent storage ponds will cover approximately 67 acres with the
remaining acreage made up of berms around the ponds, preserved
wetlands and forested uplands.
The jurisdictional wetlands can be described as seventy (70) acres
of hydric pine (Pinus elliottii) flatwoods heavily invaded by
melaleuca (Melaleuca spp. ) . Other species present include
scattered cypress (Taxodium distichum) , wax myrtle (Myrica
cerifera) , Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) , wiregrass
(Aristida strica) , beak-rush (Rhynchospora microcarpa) , muhly
grass Muhlenbergia capillaris) , rush (Fuirena scirpoidea) ,
Coreopsis sp. , and juncus (Juncus megacephalus) .
Approximately thirty-four acres (forty-nine percent) of the
wetland area is proposed to be impacted by excavation or filling.
Eight acres will be filled and twenty-six (26+) acres will be
excavated. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) ,
through the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) has reviewed the
proposed impacts and has required that the wetlands be mitigated
at a ratio of . 25 to 1 . That would require eight acres of
mitigation for the impacts to 34 acres. The petitioner proposed
wetland enhancement, wetland creation and upland enhancement and
preservation for a total mitigation credit of 15. 9
EAB Meeting 1/3/1996
CU-95-15, Highland Properties of Lee and Collier, LTD.
Page 3
acres (approximately . 5 to 1 ratio) . Exotic removal (which is
required by the County) was accepted by SFWMD as part of the
enhancement proposal and therefore the mitigation credit acreages
that the County would accept might be less than 15 .
The Collier County Growth Management Plan Objective 6. 2 states
that there shall be no net loss of wetlands and it has been the
policy of the Environmental Staff since 1989 to recommend not less
than one to one ratios for wetland mitigation. Having spoken to
former Staff regarding past projects and minimum accepted
mitigation ratios there are no projects that we could recall that
were permitted with less than . 5 to 1 ratios and only one or two
that were permitted with between . 5 to 1 and 1 to 1 ratios, both
of which were reviewed prior to the Growth Management Plan (in
1989) .
Approximately sixteen aces of uplands exist on site in the form of
small upland islands throughout the hydric pine flatwoods. These
islands are made up primarily of slash pine, saw palmetto (Serenoa
repens) , rusty lyonia (Lyonia feruginea) , gallberry (Ilex
vomitoria) , and tarflower (Befaria racemosa) . A preliminary
gopher tortoise survey was conducted by the environmental
consultant on December 16 , 1995 and no evidence of use or
occupation by gopher tortoise was observed. No evidence of fox
squirrels was observed by the consultant but it had been noted in
her staff report that a fox squirrel was recently sighted on an
upland portion of the property .
The remaining fifty seven acres of the property consists of a farm
field which will be excavated to create pond C. This upland area
was recently disced and poses no environmental concerns.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Petition No.
CU-95-15, Highland Properties of Lee and Collier, LTD. with the
following stipulations:
Water Management:
1. An excavation permit will be required in accordance with
Division 3 . 5 of Collier County Ordinance No. 92-73 and South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Volume IV.
Environmental:
1. All conservation areas shall be recorded on the plat or by
separate instrument with protective covenants per or similar
to Section 704 . 06 of the Florida Statues, prior to Final Site
Development Plan approval or issuance of an Excavation permit.

2 . Environmental permitting shall be in accordance with the state
of Florida Environmental Resource Permit rules and be subject
to review and approval by Current Planning Environmental
Review Staff . Removal of exotic vegetation shall not be
counted towards mitigation for impacts to Collier County
jurisdictional wetlands. Any additional mitigation, that may
be recommended by the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) and
approved by the Board of County Commissioners, above that
proposed with this petition shall be submitted with the Site
Development Plan package/Excavation permit for review and
approval .
3 . An exotic vegetation removal , monitoring, and maintenance
(exotic-free) plan for the site, with emphasis on the
conservation/preservation areas, shall be submitted to Current
Planning Environmental Review Staff for review and approval
prior to final site plan/construction plan approval.

V. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The lake, as designed, could generate approximately 50, 000 cubic
yards of fill , which would raise the 6 . 7 acres of buildings and
parking as much as six feet, so offsite hauling of excess fill is
a possibility. A commercial excavation permit with appurtenant
traffic impact analysis should be considered.
The PUD allows offsite hauling of 10% of the material up to
maximum of 20 , 000 cubic yards . The 10% maximum would be in the
order of 5 , 000 cubic yards, so offsite hauling is also a
possibility.
The surface water management aspects of the project are common to
projects of this character.
Environmental:
The seventeen acre site consists primarily of pine flatwoods with
small areas of unimproved pasture. The dominant species include
slash pine (Pinus elliottii) in the canopy, and saw palmetto
(Serenoa repens) in the understory. Other species present were
live oak (Quercus virginiana) , myrtle oak (Quercus myrtifolia) ,
cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) , pawpaw (Asimina reticulata) , rusty
lyonia (Lyonia ferruginea) , hog plum (Ximenia americana) , and
mulberry (Morus rubra) . A complete list of plant species observed
is included in the consultants Environmental Impact Statement.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands on site. There are several
old agricultural ditches on the property which during the rainy
season may hold water and show evidence of limited wetland
vegetation.
A review of the historical/archaeological probability maps for
Collier County indicate no archaeological or historical sites
located on the subject property .
During the Staff site visit with the environmental consultant and
during their site visits, no species of special status were
observed. Special care was taken to look for gopher tortoise and
scrub jays as they are known to be in the area or were suspected
to be on-site. No evidence of any protected species was seen.
