III. DESCRIPTION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: The project site is bordered by undeveloped agricultural zoned land to the north and east and by the Lely PUD on the south and west. Edison Community College lies immediately south of the subject property. ZONING DESCRIPTION N - Agricultural undeveloped S - Lely Resort PUD developed (Edison Community College) E - Agricultural undeveloped W - Lely Resort PUD undeveloped IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project will consist of a maximum of two hundred and ten (210) multi-family housing units with onsite recreational facilities, water management lake and preserve areas. The proposed water management system will consist of a 1. 08 acre lake with enough retention capacity to treat the first k inch of runoff before discharging into the 2 .42 acre wetland area onsite. The wetland and lake will act in concert to provide peak flow attenuation during major and minor storm events. EAB Meeting 4/3/1996 PUD-96-7, "College Park PUD" Page 2 The engineer proposes to discharge into a twelve foot (12' ) drainage easement on the south side of the property, through a control structure sized to limit the rate of discharge to 0. 06 cfs/acre in accordance with County Ordinance No. 90-10. Plan of Record: Water Management: "Conceptual Water Management Plan" , prepared by Hole, Montes & Associates dated February 1996, not signed or sealed, HMA REF# WMP1 Environmental: Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Ken Goodman Rezone prepared by Tropical Environmental Consultants, dated February 27, 1996. College Park PUD document prepared by Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc. , dated March 1996. V. STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: The internal drainage is standard for this type of project. The twelve foot (12' ) offsite drainage easement shown on the water management plan may not contain a conveyance swale. Staff did not make a site visit. If there is no swale, then discharge will be overland to the south, in random directions dependent on offsite topography. Environmental: The subject parcel is mainly undeveloped with the exception of an existing single-family home and driveway on the east side of the property. The southeast corner of the property has been farmed in the past. Vegetatively the site contains pine flatwoods, cypress and mixed forest wetlands, wet prairie, slash pine invaded farmland and disturbed areas. Dominant vegetation includes slash pine, melaleuca, cabbage palm, cypress, willow, saw palmetto, Brazilian pepper, myrsine, pineland snowberry, Spartina, hatpins, blue maidencane and saw grass. In total Staff observed 69 plant species on the subject property (Excluding disturbed site plants and ornamentals around the existing homesite. ) EAB Meeting 4/3/1996 PUD-96-7, "College Park PUD" Page 3 3 . 65 acres of native habitat (20. 8% of the site) are proposed for preservation. This includes 2 . 42 acres of Collier county jurisdictional wetlands and 1. 23 acres of upland preserve. 0. 59 acres of Collier County jurisdictional wetlands are proposed for development. No listed wildlife species were observed by the petiioner on the subject property, although red-cockaded woodpeckers and fox squirrels are known to exist in the project area. The petitioner proposes preservation of a portion of the forested uplands nearest the expected foraging habitat link between the known colonies to the east and southwest of the property. The college immediately to the south has previously set aside red-cockaded woodpecker foraging habitat. A review of the historical/archaeological probability maps of Collier County indicate no archaeological or historic sites occurring on the subject property. VI.
