Code Enforcement Division update—(Mike Ossorio] Mr.Ossorio provided the report"Code Enforcement Division Monthly Report November 22, — December 21, 2017 and January 1, 2017—December 31, 2017 Highlights""for information purposes. He noted: 2 February 7,2018 • The year end review indicated voluntary compliance in code enforcement actions was at 50% in 2017 and a goal has been set to reach 75%compliance in 2018. • The Division is undertaking re-staffing assignments for the Immokalee area to assist in enforcement actions. • A Request for Proposal was issued for the Special Magistrate services. • The vendor contract for litter abatements, mowing, etc. is out to bid. • Staff continues to remove unauthorized temporary snipe signs,especially during weekend events. B. Public Utilities Division update— [Tom Chmelik or designee] Mr. Fey reported: • Staff reviewed the concern brought forth on the pump station failure at the Golden Gate High School emergency shelter during Hurricane Irma and determined the station is operated by the School District. There is a generator on site to service the station however it could not be started by those present. Discussions are underway with the School District to determine the feasibility of Public Utilities acquiring and maintaining the stations. • The Division continues to work with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to address deviation forms, ability to serve letters, etc. The goal is to improve the level of service in these areas. C. Growth Management Department/Transportation Engineering and/or Planning—[Jay Ahmad or designee] Ms. Lantz reported: • Public meetings were held with 8 Homeowner Association to garner input on the proposed intersections improvements for Pine Ridge Road/Livingston Road and the I-75/Pine Ridge Road area. Over 300 participants attended the meetings to provide input. Most did prefer an overpass for Livingston Road, however there are cost concerns with the proposal. • Staff will be scheduling meetings with business owners/operators and the Aviano Homeowner's Association in the future to obtain further comments. • At this point, Staff is recommending a Continuous Flow Intersection(CFI) for the Livingston Road area and a Superstreet/Diverging Diamond at the I-75 location (this would potentially be completed by Florida Department of Transportation). • The item is scheduled to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners on March 27, 2018 for direction on design concepts. • The CFI would take approximately 2 years to complete and 2—4 years for the overpass. D. County Fire Review update—[Shar Hingson and/or Shawn Hanson] Ms.Hingson reported: • Site Plan reviews are at a 2 day turnaround,building plan review 3 day turnaround and inspections occurring within 1- 2 days. • There are now tax incentives for those choosing to install sprinkler systems with a 100 percent tax deduction for those installed between 2017 and 2022 with a depreciation schedule for following years. E. North Naples Fire Review update— [Dale Fey] None 3 February 7, 2018 F. Operations &Regulatory Mgmt.Division update [Ken Kovensky] Mr. Kovensky submitted the"Collier County December 2017 Monthly Statistics"and"Collier County January 2018 Monthly Statistics"which outlined the building plan and land development review activities. The following was noted during his report: • Submittals remain at a high level with 5,300 permit applications accepted in January of 2018 compared to 2,900 in January 2017. Approximately 1/3 of the applications are related to Hurricane Irma. • The rate of electronic submittals is now at 45 percent. • Inspections are occurring at a rate of 18,000—20,000 monthly. • Staffing levels continue to be monitored including discussion with the Office of Management and Budget on how to address the issue given the shortage of workers in the local labor pool. The Committee: • Noted it is important Staffing levels are addressed to ensure the County meets the expectations of the development community. • Reported another issue to be addressed is parking availability in the area given the high demand placed on the facility—Staff noted they are aware of the issue and our reviewing options such as allowing certain employees to take vehicles home after work and identifying any offsite parking options which may exist in the neighborhood. • Requested Staff to investigate the requirements for the consulting architect to provide a notarized signature as the applicant's representative which may be an impediment during the electronic application process. G. Development Review Division update [Matt McLean] Mr. McLean reported: • Staff is reviewing the standards for excavation permits for independent applicants to ensure the bonding requirements are sufficiently met during the process. This may include requiring the bond to be posted before review of an application. • Any party instituting landscape changes as a result of hurricane damage are urged to contact Staff to ensure they are meeting any County requirements for vegetation removal, replacement, etc. There are different requirements for manual vs. mechanical clearing including allowance of exotics to be removed manually without a permit,however any clearing of land over 1 acre in area requires a permit. • Staff is reviewing the requirements for"closing out"permits including standards for Temporary and Permanent Certificates of Occupancy. • A workshop will be held by Staff for any interested individuals for the County's Utility and Site Acceptance process. • A Preserve Management Plan requires a Fire Management Plan to burn debris in the protected area given dead and decaying debris is considered to be part of the natural habitat of the area. IX. New Business Ms. Cilek reported the County is repealing and replacing the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance based on recent changes to the Florida Building Code.
