STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3 , 1993
I. NAME OF PETITIONER/PROJECT:
Petition No. : ST-93-13
Petition Name: "Morris Single Family Residence"
Applicant/Developer: Debi Kay Lee, agent for Mark Morris
II. LOCATION:
The parcel is located on Tamiami Trail East (U. S. 41) in Section
16, Township 53 South, Range 33 East; bounded on all sides by the
Big Cypress National Preserve.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is a 1. 48 acre parcel zoned CON-ACSC/ST on
U.S. 41 in the Big Cypress National Preserve. The petitioner
proposes to demolish an existing wood frame house and construct a
single family stilt residence, septic system and driveway
extension, with alterations limited to 9 . 3% of the site.
Plan of Record:
Environmental:
Site plan submitted by Debi Kay Lee dated 6/27/93 , as revised on
10/7/93 .
IV. STAFF COMMENTS:
Environmental:
A site inspection was conducted on October 20, 1993 by Stephen
Lenberger and Fred Reischl, County Environmental Staff and Debi
Lee, agent for the property owner. The property involved is
located in a cypress wetland about 2 miles north of Roberts
Strand in the Big Cypress National Preserve. The dominant
vegetation in the surrounding swamp consists mainly of cypress
(Taxodium sp. ) and saw grass (Cladium lamaicense) . Other types of
vegetation in the swamp included pond apple (Annona glabra) ,
willow (Salix sp. ) , arrowhead (Sagittaria sp. ) , maidencane
(Panicum hemitomon) , glades lobelia (Lobelia glandulosa) , climbing
hempvine (Mikania scandens) , moonvine (Ipomoea alba) and primrose
willow (Ludwigia peruviana) . The water in the swamp averaged
about a foot deep and various species of fish could be seen in the
water. Water clarity was very good.

The subject property contains both natural forested wetlands and
an area of pre-existing fill. The fill site is apparently mowed
on a regular basis and was covered mainly with lawn grasses
interspersed with a variety of roadside weeds. Standing water was
observed in places on the fill area.
The petitioner proposes to construct a house, septic system and
gravel driveway extension within the existing fill area on the
property. The petitioner also proposes to demolish a wooden house
presently located in wetlands on site. Since the owner proposes
impacts that are less than ten percent of the site, this petition
qualifies for an exception per Collier County Land Development
Code, Section 2 . 2 . 24 . 8 . 2 .
V. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of Special Treatment Development Permit
No. ST-93-13 with the following stipulations:
Environmental:
1. Permits or letters of exemption from the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) , South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) , U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the
Big Cypress National Preserve, shall be presented prior to

2 . Minor changes may be administratively approved by the Site
Development Review Director or his/her designee.
