BCC Minutes 04/19/2004 W (Orangetree/Waterways/Valencia Lakes Communities - Transportation/FEMA/Utilities) April 19,2004 Oranl!e TreelWaterwavsNalencia Lakes Community Meetinl! Hosted by Commissioner Jim Coletta, District 5 Corkscrew Middle School Cafeteria 1165 Oil Well Road (County Road 858) 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. I. Opening Remarks a. Commissioner Coletta The meeting opens with the Pledge of Allegiance Weare here to discuss several issues that are very important and do not have easy solutions. Please listen very carefully and draw your own conclusions. A number of attorneys are present representing some members of the audience but please do not feel intimidated. II. Transportation - Road Update a. Norm Feder, Transportation Services Division - Administrator, Gregg Strakaluse, Transportation Engineering & Construction Management Director, Don Scott, Transportation Planning Director Mr. Feder reviews the transportation projects throughout the county including Livingston Road, which will run from Radio Road all the way to Lee County. The other two major projects are Golden Gate Parkway and Immokalee Road. Immokalee Road is under construction right now between 951 and 43rd. This is a four lane project although we have shown that in the future we will need six lanes. When studying this you look at how long four lanes will last. It appears that with very few access points four lanes will meet our needs for at least five years before we would have to expand to six lanes. We have encountered some obstacles but after ten months we have gotten the permits. After the permitting process some very significant developments have come into play including Avé Maria University. We are considering going directly to six lanes. The contractor that is out there today bid on the six lanes and their bid for six lanes was still less than the next lowest bidder's price for four lanes. We can get six lanes done in the same time frame and basically at the same price for four lanes. An issue came up; since we led the bid with four lanes can you then modify and go to six? That's an issue that the clerk raised; he is responsible to make sure that every payment he makes on an invoice is a legal payment. We are addressing that issue right now. Our contractor is out there, they are building four lanes, and we are trying to resolve the issue so that if we can legally go to six lanes. That will lead to a savings of about $8 - $10 million as well as construction time. The clerk wants to make sure this is done legally. It's four lanes as it stands right now and we are trying to move to six. I Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting ----. April 19,2004 Additionally there is a section that is four lanes today. Between I- 75 and 951. That probably should have been six lanes from the start because it already needs to be six lanes. We have that slated for fiscal year 2006. Later this year we will be expanded the stretch between US 41 to 1-75 from four to six lanes. We have set up with the state to do a Project Development Environment Study for the Immokalee Road section from 43rd to State Route 29. It looks at Immokalee and Oil Well Road to see which the best route to move forward with is. By 2010 there is a commitment to make sure we have four, and possibly six, lanes on Oil Well Road. Don Scott will be giving you an update on the county's Long-Range Transportation Plan. We are in the process of updating this plan. The Long-Range Transportation Plan is what directs the needs in Collier County. This process is done through the Metropolitan Planning Organization which includes the Board of County Commissioners, representatives from Naples and Marco Island. We work with state and federal dollars for that process. This is what you need to get very involved in as we have a lot of issues that we have to address. Don Scott: The Long-Range Transportation Plan will get started in about two months. This time we are looking for a lot more public involvement. As an example, Oil Well Road was to be two lanes until 2025. Avé Maria was not even thought of in this plan so there are a lot of changes that need to be made, particularly throughout the eastern portion of the county. As part of the update there will be an oversight committee made up of citizens and interested parties that will be involved in every step of the process. If you are interested I encourage you to contact our office at 239-213-5831. We will also be doing neighborhood meetings to keep you updated on projects in those specific areas. . In the plan Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension it shows this going to Wilson; as part ofthe study we will look at bringing it to everglades or Desoto. We are looking at going over 1-75 between Santa Barbara and Livingston Road with the Green Boulevard Extension. With Wilson, we are considering a widening between Golden Gate Boulevard and Vanderbilt Beach Road or Immokalee Road. A private study is being done looking at connecting Wilson Boulevard down to 951. It might be just a haul road for trucks but we are also looking at the bigger picture at what neighborhoods could benefit from that. Oil Well / Camp Keys: Avé Maria will be providing numbers on their projected development and we will be adding these areas to the long range plan once we have those numbers. For the longer range we are looking at Immokalee and the loop road. In collaboration with Lee County we are looking at State Routes 29 and 82 as a possible bypass with I- 75. . . . . . 2 Orangetree/W aterwaysN alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Norm Feder: Regarding State Routes 29 and 82: the state is developing a "Strategic Inter-mobile System" and the federal and state funding that comes to Florida are now expanded to include the Strategic Inter-mobile System to connect major ports. Collier only has 1-75. We have what they call an emerging system; we are trying to establish a bypass of the urbanized area using State Route 29 and State Route 82 and trying to get that on the full fledged Strategic Inter-mobile System. Anyone who has the ability should focus on this important item. It will significantly alter the development patterns in the area. It would provide an excellent connection to Immokalee Airport, which is something you will hear a lot more about. b. Questions & Answers Commissioner Coletta points out that it is only with the assistance of the civic associations that projects like these are accomplished. Question: When is the court date and when will this issue be settled? Mike Petitt: We have a court proceeding before a new judge that has been assigned to the case and that proceeding will be this Thursday (April 22nd) at 9 am. The purpose of it will be to establish a case management conference to set a schedule as to when this matter can be resolved by the court. Our goal is to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We will be asking the judge to give us a date sometime in late Mayor early June. Commissioner Coletta: I want to add that I do not like this; I would like the government to come to a resolution. Otherwise we will be forced to build four lanes, then tear out the curbing, block one of those lanes and it will be another three years before you see those lanes out there for you to use. Question: Who do we call? Commissioner Coletta: It wouldn't hurt if you sent e-mails to the County Commissioners, the County Manager & Mr. Brock's office. Question: Has anyone given more thought if we had an exit on Everglades Boulevard to 1- 75? Commissioner Coletta: I led two petition drives to make that happen and they were not successful. It will be a long uphill battle. That's why I am pushing so hard for improvements on Oil Well Road and State Route 29. We are still trying to get Everglades Boulevard as an exit for 1- 75. Mr. Feder: When 1-75 got added to the interstate system there were to be no connections aside from the Indian Reservation. The state came back with a separate environmental statement to justify the interchange at State Route 29. We were required to buy one square mile in each of the four quadrants to guarantee that there would be no development, move the roadway away from the canal, fence everything and add four wildlife crossings. What I'm saying is that it is not impossible but do not expect anything soon. 3 ---" Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Question: Is there anything in the contracts that specifies when a project must be completed and implements penalties if not? Commissioner Coletta: The problem is that we have two entities of government that are spending taxpayer dollars to try to come to a conclusion; this is only delaying the road expansion. Mr. Feder: We work very closely with the clerk's office and continue to improve the contracting process. There's a lot of utility work in our projects. The underground utility relocation, both public and private, is a major part of our projects. Even though it does not look like it sometimes, there is a lot happening out there. We are always balancing the issues of quality, time and money. We want the best quality, price and the quickest time. Comment: Linda Hartman, President of the Estates Civic Association: We are very large supporters on the issue of the six lanes (on Immokalee Road.) We do not want anyone else to get hurt on their way to school or work. It's a waste of money not to do it now. I think that Dwight Brock must not know how important this issue is to us. What can we do to make him see just how important this issue is? Question: What is the input of Avé Maria, I'm sure they have a lot more influence than us? Commissioner Coletta: I have been working very close with Avé Maria; they only have a certain amount of influence. You are the driving force that will make things happen, not a university that will be in place in the next five years. I meet with them once a month and they are very helpful. Their road impact fees will also help finance the improvements on these roads. Question: I think this is an environmental issue. Two years ago I chose this area because of the quality of the air. In the past six months the dust due to the construction has been terrible. The nesting birds are also gone. Should we get environmentalists down here on our side? Mr. Feder: The environmentalists wanted us to get the permits for six lanes at the outset when we were only looking for four. The environmental issues are not holding us up. Comment: The way I see this, if my wife and I were building a house and while in the process of building decided we needed a bigger house would we go out and get bids from another builder? Of course not. To think that they have one contractor in there working on a part of the road and that they are going to call in bids on the same basic structure. Clerks from governmental entities in other areas have said this is a grey area. We need to push for this thing publicly with the force of everyone in this room. 4 Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Question: I know we should have some type of summary judgment by the end of May, what's the deadline to the contractor before the price starts going up? Mr. Feder: We are getting close to that time though the contractor is still working on a certain portion of the road. Hopefully we are not forced into a four lane. Question: Where did the commission go wrong in issuing the change order? Why does Dwight Brock think something is wrong with this? Commissioner Coletta: Mr. Brock has interpreted that this may be a violation of the statute but has said that he is not certain. This is why we were letting the court decide. III. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Flood Maps and what it means to you and your neighbors a. Joe Schmitt, CDES Administrator Stan Chrzanowski, Senior Engineer Lisa Koehler, Public Information Coordinator Robert Wiley, Principal Project Manager If FEMA came down the way it was intended it would have impacted many of our residents through the cost of Flood Insurance. Joe Schmitt: We have a National Flood Insurance Program. If you have a federally backed mortgage you will be impacted by this. The flood insurance program has maps that define the base flood elevations which affects the rates you pay for flood insurance. In December, 1996 Collier County contested the validity of the Flood Maps. In 1998 the County raised the issue legally. During the following six years we disputed the issue. Weare working with FEMA to obtain the needed engineering, scientific and topographic information to produce the maps. If you are in an area that is prone to flood insurance you will need to purchase flood insurance. If your area is not prone to flooding we are going to make sure that you are not going to have to pay flood insurance. One of the most impacted areas is Golden Gate. This past year, very much due to Stan's initiative, and working with the state, we pretty much have vertical control throughout the estates. We visited FEMA in Atlanta and showed them some products and delayed the implementation of these rates until July 1,2005. Basically we have eight months and then they will have eight months to do what needs to be done. Weare committed to meeting the deadline to provide FEMA with quality information so that the mapmakers can create a quality and accurate flood maps for our area. The December 1 sl 2004 deadline is crucial. We are doing five basin studies and we are going to complete the Golden Gate study. This will give the scientific, engineering and topographic information needed to define the base flood elevations for Collier County. 5 Orangetree/W aterwaysN alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Mr. Schmitt indicates how the information is not consistent on the maps. . X Zone - You do not have to pay flood insurance. . An unnumbered A Zone - You do have to pay for flood insurance. . The zones on the maps do not match the topography. We identified 7,600 properties and it was determined that 40% were validated. We are trying to validate the other 60% of the properties and decide if we should establish a numbered A zone for the estates. Anyone that has built since December 1 sl 2003 will need an elevation certificate. Prior to that Collier County gave you elevation documentation, not from FEMA, if you were 18"above the crown of the road. This documentation alone is not sufficient to avoid flood insurance requirements. We want to get the correct information to help FEMA define the base flood elevations for this area. Many of you may have to get a flood certificate, which means you'll have to hire a private surveyor. You may want to elect to wait until December when you may find out how we will deal with this area of the county. Alternatively, as a group we will help you organize in obtaining flood elevation certificates for your homes so if FEMA says that your area needs flood insurance your certificate will enable you to opt out. Alone, if you ordered a flood certificate, it would cost $500 or more but if you consolidate the effort that price will come down considerably. It may seem like a lot of money but if you need flood insurance it will cost $1200 to $1800 per year. If you need flood insurance we want to help you determine that for sure. We do not want people who do not need flood insurance to be forced to get it. The best thing to have will be an elevation certificate. b. Questions & Answers Comment: I had flood insurance since December 2000, three years Recently I received a letter that if I want to continue I will have to pay more. My company advised me that we area in a D zone. I was paying $250 for my coverage and my rate went up to $652. Inaudible Question Stan Chrzanowski: We talked to FEMA about the subdivisions with water management district permits. You already have a 100 year base flood elevation; these were generally done in a vacuum though. The water management was done internally as if there were a glass wall around the development. You may have the necessary elevation to grandfather you in but it will all be finalized when the study is complete. Mr. Schmitt: The study will be done by the end of the summer. 6 -.-.. Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 The purpose of the flood insurance program is to prevent local governments from issuing building permits to areas prone to flood. Question: My neighbor was identified as not needing flood insurance on the LOMA lists but I wasn't, how does that happen? Mr. Schmitt: LOMA is a Letter of Map Amendment. This is regarding the remaining 60% of the properties that have not been verified yet. These properties must be surveyed individually referencing a known point of elevation. Those were the 7600 names, just the potential properties from January 2001, was when the LIDAR data was taken. If your home was built between January 2001 and December 2003 your property will not be included in this data. Currently there is an average of 850- 900 homes built in Golden Gate Estates per year. Question: Is it the home or the property owner that is grandfathered in? Mr. Schmitt: Good question, the new owners will get the high insurance. Commissioner Coletta: This is not an exact science. We are trying to represent you with the federal government. My suggestion to those in Orange Tree and Waterways is to wait to see how your PUD and water management district will affect your status. For the rest of you I suggest you hire a surveyor to assess your property and have the surveyor hold that certificate until we get the base flood level from FEMA. Then you'll have something that can stay with the house and for future homeowners. In the event that you miss that opportunity and you have to get flood insurance, FEMA said that they will give a refund within one year to anyone that proves that they are above the base flood level or fall into a numbered zone. IV. Orange Tree Utility Company - proposed rate increases and service issues a. Bleu Wallace, Director, CDES Operations Steve Lowitz, Principal of Orange Tree Utility Company Bleu Wallace: I work with Joe Schmitt. We currently regulate four utilities including Orange Tree. We've been overseeing Orange Tree since 1996. The only increase that they had is the price index that is approved at the Public Service Commission in Tallahassee. The last rate increase was in 1995 when they were under the jurisdiction Public Service Commission. In June 2002 Orange Tree filed for a rate increase. The county hired consultants that gathered information and just recently, have gathered enough information and will be submitting a report. There will be a rate hearing a quasi judicial proceeding held by the Collier County Water/Waste-water Authority. I expect that the rate hearing will last two days. One day will be held in this area for the input from you, the local customer base. The technical hearing will be in the commission chambers in Naples. Everyone is invited to this; you will receive a written notice as to when and where these two meetings area occurring. Orange Tree has applied for a 53% increase in your water and sewer rates. That does not mean that those rates will stand that is why we have the rate hearing. 7 Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 b. Questions & Answers Question: Can you explain the difference in what you do and the FDEP? Mr. Wallace: The FDEP issues permits and the restrictions, limitations and capacity of the plant. In 1996 Collier took back jurisdiction from the Florida Public Service Commission and shortly after we were able to reduce the regulatory assessment fee that is part of your monthly bill from 4.5% to 1.5%. We established a local presence so you had a local place to submit complaints. The DEP gets involved when there is a spill or a quality of water problem as far as the plants and safety. My area is rate making, boundaries and customer service. Question: Who do we call regarding the quality, color, smell of the water? Mr. Wallace: You can call me and I would contact FDEP; or you can contact FDEP directly; or the health department. Question: I am a resident of Waterways. I have a question regarding the water pressure at my home. Someone assessed it two years ago and verified that there is a problem with the pressure. I have not heard anything since then. I have tried on several occasions to get assistance with my water pressure. Where do I go from here? Mr. Wallace: The utility has responsibility to provide certain pressures. Steve Lowitz may better be able to respond to your question. Steve Lowitz: My assistant Kim and I will attempt to answer your questions tonight. Please feel free to email me at sglale@aol.com and I will be happy to address your questions. I am the Vice President of Orange Tree Utility. Regarding pressure, I would not be able to specifically answer that tonight. If you contact me bye-mail we will find out what your pressure is and if it meets the standards or not. Kim: It appears from some of the responses that we have had that you are not the only one that is concerned about pressure. We are required by law to have 80 psi when the water leaves the plant. In the event that the pressure drops below 40 psi at the plant we have a backup fire pump that kicks in, therefore if this is a system wide problem it would not affect the pressure at your house. If you have a pressure issue at your home please contact the administrative office at 239-353-1389. You can reach me directly at extension 10. Question: We had a water main break and we did not receive our notice until days later. Kim: There will be times when we will have to deliver notices. During the incident you are asking about we realized that most of our residents in Waterways do not use their front doors. We have to physically hand deliver each notice. The best way to do this is to use door hangers. We have asked for e-mail addresses and access to a community channel so we can provide additional output when an event like this occurs. During that incident, knowing that many customers work during the day, we contacted all of the news radio stations and broadcast television stations. Question: I would like to know if the pressure leaving your plant is adequate to provide pressure to so many houses. 8 Orangetree/W aterwa ysN alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Jim Delony: That depends on the variables with the system. You need to know what the size of your service drop is (5/8 or %) this can have a significant affect on the water pressure in your home. A % drop would be the right number. Then from there contact Orange Tree Utilities and let them do a pressure test at the meter and in your home. At least then you determine where the problem is. 80 psi is plenty of wa ter. v. Future County Water & Sewer Utility Timeline a. Jim Delony, Public Utilities Division Administrator Commissioner Coletta: The county utility will be coming online because Orange Tree will not be adequate in the future. Jim Delony: Introduces Harry Huber, Senior Project Manager. Mr. Huber is responsible for bringing the Orange Tree Utilities online between now and 2012. He is going to present a series of slides outlining this project and then we will be happy to answer questions. Mr. Huber provides basic information regarding the new water treatment and waste water treatment plants planned for development for the NE region of the county. Mr. Huber uses maps and presentation slides to illustrate the details of the plan including the proposed location, size, and examples of the types of buildings that will be used. . In December 2001, the Board of County Commissioners approved the 2001 water / waste-water master plan updates In May of 2003, the Board of County Commissioners approved the purchase of this property for the location of these plants. This property is currently included in the Orange Tree PUD and zoned agricultural. In order to proceed we need to re-zone the property. The property will include the following: . Water reclamation facility . Water treatment plant . Recycling center . Park site of appro x 20 acres . . . . The majority (60%) ofthe site is a 300 foot buffer that will be around the perimeter of the site to minimize impact on adjoining residential neighborhoods. We will submit applications to re-zone in the late summer or early fall. We will hold neighborhood information meetings in the late fall or early winter. A nine or ten month reviewing process will follow and next summer we will conduct public hearings to obtain required zoning for property. Projected construction schedule for the water treatment plant: . 2 million gallons per day online by 2008 / construction starts 2006 . Expansion to four million gallons per day by 2012 . Expansion to six million gallons per day by 2021 9 OrangetreelW aterwaysN alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Mr. Delony: If anyone has any concerns about odor. We have two other facilities, one near Lely Boulevard and one on Goodlette-Frank. Please visit those facilities at your opportunity and see if you still have concerns. We have a plant right up against Lely homes and it has been there for years. We are a good neighbor and we intend to continue being a good neighbor in North East Collier County while providing no interruption in service to your homes. Mr. Huber continues: Projected construction schedule for the waste water treatment plant: . 10 million gallons per day online by 2009 / construction starts 2007 . Expansion to twenty million gallons per day by 2014 b. Questions & Answers Question: I live near the north-eastern corner of the proposed plant and the water treatment plant at Goodlette-Frank smells very bad. I am also concerned with the noise. Will there be a barrier for the noise? Mr. Delony: We will meet the noise ordinances with the buffering we provide. Question: With the plant being so close to us will we have the benefits of sewer lines on the north-western area adjacent to the plant? Mr. Delony: Right now we have no plans to cross the canal and provide central sewer. Question: Where will A vé Maria get its water? Mr. Delony: Avé Maria will have its own system and treat its own water. Question: What is the likelihood that you are unable to get this zone changed and therefore, not be able to build this facility? Mr. Delony: That is up to the board. We bought the land but we have to go through the process to get the property re-zoned. Question: Five acres is reserved for recycling, what is going to be recycled and is it going to be processed at the plant? Mr. Delony: Nothing is going to be processed at the plant. Think of it as a transfer station much like what we currently have at the airport in Naples. It's a center for convenience; we will not be processing there. We would have paper, glass, aluminum; no garbage; and other recyclables, Question: Do we know where everything is going to be located on the property that is going to be purchased? Mr. Delony: No, we have land use issues to contend with first. 10 Orangetree/W aterways/V alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19, 2004 Question: Are you also providing lines for re-claimed water Mr. Delony: That is not in the current plan. There is no re-claimed water central network in this area right now. That's not to say in the future we wouldn't be looking to do that. Question: What costs are going to be absorbed by the homeowners? Mr. Delony: Right now we are not sure. When you built your house you paid impact fees; when you come on board with Collier County there are also impact fees. This will be determined between now and 2012. Question: How will the recycle transfer station affect the truck traffic? Mr. Delony: This is not going to be a landfill operation. The trucks will operate as needed. Question: Don't we already have this service at the curb? Mr. Delony: In some cases this is not enough and we want to provide additional recycling services for your usual recyclables and other items, such as neon lights. Question: What is the small yellow area on the map (west of the lake?) Mr. Delony: I reserved that area so I can have the ability to bring the pipes through. Question: How long will that process be to dig a trench and put the piping in? Mr. Delony: Several Months. Comment: Maybe you should relocate the entire facility to someone else's neighborhood. Question: Is this facility only going to serve those of us that currently have the water and sewer? Mr. Delony: The purpose of this plant is to provide service to those in the district. The estates are not in my service area Question: Where will the treated water go after treatment? Mr. Delony: We will dispose of that water with deep injection wells that are well over 2000 feet deep. We will try to reuse that resource for irrigation water. Mr. Delony: (In response to a citizen asking for clarification) The drinking water will come from deep wells, from deep aquifers. We will be working with the South Florida Water Management District when planning these wells. The wastewater comes from our customers. The service area is 19 square miles. (In response to the citizen asking for additional details of the service area Mr. Delony offers to review a map with her after the meeting.) 11 Orangetree/W aterwaysN alencia Lakes Community Meeting April 19,2004 Question: When will know about the price? Mr. Delony: This depends on variables such as the assets that we acquire from Orange Tree and the costs in 2012. Some of this information I will not have until 2012. The Board of County Commissioners has made a decision that we will take over these services from Orange Tree in 2012. Question: I'm concerned that you have purchased this land without the zoning; why would you make this purchase if the re-zoning was not a sure thing? Steve Lowitz: You will have a lot of time to absorb all of the information that has been presented to you. Orange Tree utilities currently provide service. Regarding the conversion in 2012, a lot has to be worked out. We are going to grow the utility between now and 2012 to accommodate the needs of the area. We will see to it that the turnover will be done in a professional matter. Question: What is the status of the facilities at the time of turnover? Mr. Delony: There is a clause that the facilities will be ours for as long as we use them. Ifwe ever do not use them it will revert back to Orange Tree Utility. We will obviously take over the pipes in the ground. Commissioner Coletta: We have covered a lot here tonight. We have some issues to tackle: Immokalee road, the FEMA Flood Maps, and this ongoing utility issue. One thing is for sure, you have already paid once for the pipes in the ground and the existing utility and the land that it sits on; you will only be paying for a pro-rated part of the plant. This is very far off and we will have answers in the future. We are planning ahead to meet the growing needs of the area and the continuing development. VI. Open Discussion Jake, President of Waterways Property Owners Association: In regards to the rezone of the school property and the building of the ancillary plant (bus garage) we will be meeting with the school district on Thursday, April 29th at 7:30 p.m. in the Corkscrew Middle School Cafeteria. VII. Meeting Adjourned Mr. Coletta: I am available here after the meeting for anyone to discuss the subjects we presented tonight. Thank you very much for coming. ***** 12 --_..
