STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1993
I. NAME OF PETITIONER/PROJECT:
Petition No. : Commercial Excavation No. 59.490
Petition Name: "Valencia at Orangetree - Lake #4-2"
Applicant/Developer: Orangetree Associates
Engineering Consultant: Robert E. Furlong, P.E. of Wilson,
Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc.
II. LOCATION:
Section 23 , Township 48 South, Range 27 East; generally bounded on
the north by Oil Well Road, on the east by the Golden Gate Canal,
on the south by Randall Blvd. and on the west by Immokalee Road.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The petitioner proposes to excavate a 43 . 5 acre lake within
Valencia at Orangetree, a future residential and golf course
development. The proposed Lake #4-2 contains an existing 3 . 9±
acre lake which has previously received final approval by
Compliance Services as well as an existing borrow canal.
The petitioner proposes to remove 542 , 463 cubic yards of material
from the site with a balance of 51, 666 cubic yards remaining
on-site. The material remaining on-site will be utilized to fill
an existing ditch to the east of the proposed lake; the unused
material will be stockpiled as shown on the the plan of record.
Plan of Record:
Water Management:
"Permit Exhibit for Valencia Orangetree, Lake #4-2 Excavation"
prepared by Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. , dated October 7,
1993 , one revision.
Environmental:
Aerial dated October 1991 (ACOE Nationwide Permit Exhibit) .

IV. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The proposed lake lies within the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) Sub Basin No. 4 as permitted under the Orangetree
Master Conceptual Surface Water Management Permit No. 11-00418- S.
Sub Basin No. 3 , which lies just west of the proposed lake
currently discharges (via a control structure) the existing 3 . 9
acre lake to be enlarged by this petition.
The only work proposed at this time is the lake excavation for the
purpose of earth mining as permitted by the Orangetree zoning
approval. The petitioner proposes to construct the control
structure for this lake at the time of infrastructure construction
for the plat of Valencia since the offsite discharge will not be
increased at this time. Water quality for future development
within Sub Basin 4 will be contained as wet detention within the
proposed excavation requested under this petition. No excavation
permits shall be issued until a South Florida Water Management
District permit is provided.
Environmental:
The site is a sparsely vegetated former farm field. There is
potential for this pasture land to be used by burrowing owls as
they currently reside throughout other similar habitats on the
Orangetree PUD property.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of Commercial Excavation Permit No.
59.490, "Valencia at Orangetree - Lake #4-2" with the following
stipulations:
Water Management:
1. The excavation shall be limited to a bottom elevation of 4 . 0
ft. NGVD. All disturbed areas shall be excavated to a minimum
elevation of 4 . 0 ft. NGVD.
2 Excavated material from the lakes shall not be removed from
the property until appropriate road impact fees, based on a
site specific impact statement to determine the lane impacts
per Ordinance 85-55, have been paid. Off-site removal of
material shall be subject to "Standard Conditions" imposed by
the Transportation Services Division in document dated 5/24/88
(copy attached) .
