Staff Announcements
A. Development Services Division Update - Mr. VanArsdale stated when a
Special Meeting is called staff should make sure there is a quorum. It was
the consensus of the Committee that the LDC meetings are run
concurrently with the regular meeting and to be "part" of the regular
meeting. Ana will coordinate those meetings.
Some of the members did not realize the meeting was at 2:00 for the LDC
amendments and did not have time to review the information being that it
was given to them that day. They would like to receive their packets in
advance of their regular meetings.
Keeping up with the codes on the web site was discussed.
Joe Schmitt reported the budget isn't finalized yet.
Have the two separate funds discussed at the last meeting. Will be a
more precise budget close to $ lbillion.
He discussed the different accounts and positions that will be moved
around. No expanded positions next year.
Projected increases will be shared when finalized. Planning fees may be
doubled.
The committee voiced their opinion on the level of service if fees are
doubled. Joe would have to double staff and raise fees - it's a trade off.
Many issues were discussed from enhancing the level of services,
reviewing and pulling projects, misunderstanding on the process,
changing the rules, not getting any answers and revising the rule book.
Budget meeting June 27th 9:00 AM.

June 4, 2003
Joe - New Computer software system - implements in January - 4-6 months to
fully implement.
Marco - brought to everyone's attention concerning wetlands in Golden Gate
Estates and permits from DEP. Reports were attached to the building permits.
DEP would offer a free service for informal reviews of the lots. For the past two
years there have been no problems. In Oct/Nov he started to get complaints on
the reports of wetlands. DEP is now looking at every application regardless if a
consultant has been involved or not. Now need to go to Fort Meyers for a permit
and mitigate.
He talked about the jurisdiction of Wetlands and rules not being applied to single
family lots.
He stated as a board member his hands are tied and wanted the rest of the
committee to be aware of the situation.
Joe mentioned they have approached Collier County on hiring another person.
A lengthy discussion ensued.
Dino - mentioned he read in the paper Collier County dump truck drivers driving
only certain times of the day.
After much discussion due to schedules, the lateness of the day and several
members needing to leave, the next DSAC "LDC" Amendment meeting will be
June 11, 2003 at 2:00 PM, with the Sub-Committee to follow.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be July 2, 2003.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was
adjourned by order of the Chair at 5:25 PM.
