territories and actual nesting dates. The
applicant shall survey within the proposed
phase and up to one hundred feet (100' ) from
that boundary. The applicant shall submit a

and dates of breeding behavior. If breeding
behavior warrants smaller buffers (as
documented by a qualified biologist) than
recommended in stipulation 2b, these will be
adjusted accordingly by Collier County Project

b. Should the petitioner propose any construction
activities prior to having completed the
aforementioned surveys and conditions the

:V. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
The proposed project is located within the South Florida Water
Management District Sub Basin No. 1 as permitted under Orangetree
Master Conceptual Surface Water Management Permit No. 11-00 . 418-S .
Four interconnected lakes will provide water quality treatment for
the project. Surface water runoff will be conveyed to the lakes
through catch basins and culvert systems.
Lake 1-1 and 1-2 have received commercial excavation permits and
are near completion. Lake 1-3 is under review for a commercial
excavation permit. Lake 1-4 has not been submitted for permit
review.
Final discharge for this project will be through an approved canal
in the northeast corner of the site. -
Environmental:
The subject property is a previously farmed pasture which is
currently being used to graze cattle. The pasture has recently
been mowed and is mostly upland grass and herbacious material,
with scattered pines and palmetto. The area is conducive to
burrowing owl activity and has a history of active burrows within
the boundary of the preliminary subdivision plat.
Staff conducted a site visit on January 6, 1994 with Mrs. Kimberly
Dryden from the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission
(FGFWFC) and Mr. Craig Schmittler of Wilson, Miller, Barton &
Peek, Inc. Four burrowing owl burrows were observed along the
easternmost portion of the property, east of the north-south
running canal. One of those burrows was active; no owls were
observed utilizing the remaining three burrows. The active burrow
is located approximately 400 feet southeast of Lake 1-3 and within
the proposed footprint of Lake 1-4 .
A detailed survey was done in the immediate vicinity of Lake _--
to determine if owl burrows from the previous year still existed.
No evidence of any burrows was seen. Since this area was recently
mowed and is currently grazed by cattle, it was recommended that
this lake excavation begin as soon as possibleto v1 emo

monitor for burrowing owls during the nesting season
(generally February 15 to July 10) to document active
nesting territories and actual nesting dates . The
applicant shall survey within the proposed phase and uptc
one hundred feet (100 ' ) from that boundary. The applicant
shall submit a short report documentinc the :testi.

b. Should the petitioner propose any construction activities
prior to having completed the aforementioned surveys and
conditions the petitioner shall contact Florida Game and
Fresh Water Fish Commission and Project Plan Review
Environmental Staff. At a minimum the petitioner shall

II. LOCATION:
Section 12 , Township 49 South, Range 25 East; bounded on the south
by Pine Ridge Road; on the west by the Teddy Bear Museum and
undeveloped, commercially zoned properties; on the north by Cougar
Drive; and on the east by Summerwind Apartments PUD.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The petitioner proposes expansion of existing recreation
facilities on land zoned community facility with a Special
Treatment overlay (CF/ST) . The site is 20. 74± acres with an
existing activity building, pool, playgrounds, athletic fields,
tennis and basketball courts. A new activity building, olympic
pool, and parking lot expansion are proposed.
The site contains 7. 9± acres of Collier County jurisdictional
wetlands. The petitioner states the proposed expansion would
impact 0. 8± acres of wetlands, approximately ten percent (10%) .
The actual impact may be greater due to road side slopes and
stormwater pre-treatment swales.
Plan of Record:
Environmental:
Environmental Impact Statement, YMCA of Naples; prepared by
Agnoli, Barber, & Brundage, Inc. , dated April 1994 .
IV. STAFF COMMENTS:
Water Management:
Staff will review the project for water management during the site
development plan review.
EAB Meeting 6/1/1994
ST-94-1
Page 2
Environmental:
The wetland area was historically contiguous to similar wetlands
off-site to the north (Tall Pines subdivision and Barron Collier
High School) . The wetland is bisected by Cougar Drive. A culvert
connects the two sections of the wetland.
The soils in the developed portion of the site are described as
Urban Land. The wetland areas may contain Boca soil, Riviera
limestone substratum soil, Copeland fine sands, or any combination
thereof. All are described as hydric soils. (Yamataki, Collier
County Soil Legend, revised 1/1990)
Although no listed species were observed during a site visit on
March 18, 1994 . Some listed wading birds may utilize the wetland.
The site is not within a wellfield protection zone, or a zone of
archaeological and historical probability.
The vegetation within the wetland consists of a bald cypress
(Taxodium distichum) canopy; a midstory of cocoplum (Chrysobalanus
icaco) , wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) , dahoon holly (Ilex cassine)
and myrsine (Myrsine floridana) ; and groundcover consisting
primarily of swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum) . No hydroperiod has
been determined, however, the petitioner reports lichen lines
eight inches above natural ground.
Some Brazilian pepper (Schinus terbinthifolius) and downy
rosemyrtle (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa) are scattered in the wetland
and fringes.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS:
The purpose and intent of Collier County's special treatment
regulations are directed toward the conservation, protection, and
preservation of ecological, and recreational values for the
greatest benefit to the people of Collier County. Therefore,
since this proposal incorporates preservation of the majority of
the wetland, and expansion of recreational facilities, Staff
recommends approval of Special Treatment Development Permit No.
ST-94-1, "YMCA of Naples Expansion" with the following
stipulations:
Environmental:
1. The preserve parcel shall be surveyed and a conservation
easement shall be recorded in the public records of Collier
County, prior to final site development plan approval.
