Regatta Landing—Staff Update: Debrah briefly went over the current standing of the Regatta Landing parcels. The ordinance to expand the boundaries of the MSTU and add the 16 additional parcels as recognized in the Regatta Landing Condominium site plan is scheduled for the for Board of County Commissioners (BCC) February 13th, 2018 meeting at 9am it is scheduled on the Summary Agenda. If anyone from the public request the item to be discussed, it will be pulled for discussion and added to the regular agenda. B. Hurricane Irma i. Canal Debris Removal: Debrah Forester touched on the Irma clean up. The County’s debris consultant Ashbritt went out on kayaks at low tide to do an assessment of the styrofoam and other debris in the creek. They reported a lot of Styrofoam in the mangroves that needs further discussion with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to determine if a permit will be needed to work in the mangroves. Once Ashbritt has more definitive answers, they will come provide an update on the process and timeframe. ii. Volunteer Cleanup: Shirley Garcia discussed the volunteer clean up weekends. She will set up a meeting with the Weekend Warriors and see what they can and cannot do to assist. She will also contact the local high schools to inform them that students can get volunteer hours by coming out to assist. Eric from Code Enforcement stated they can get dumpsters for the cleanup weekend. They are working on borrowing kayaks from Parks and Recreations, as well as with Ashbritt to see what services they can assist with. General discussion about volunteer clean up weekend commenced. Points of interest: Sawyers was suggested as a launch point for kayaks. As was an unoccupied private residence. Roy suggested Ashbritt should go in first to get the large difficult items so that there would be no issues with volunteers in the mangroves. The Keep Collier Beautiful (KCB) weekend in April became a primary day of focus. This would be the best weekend to work with the high schoolers. iii. Homeless Camps: Chairman Roy brought up the issue of reoccurring Homeless Camps and asked if the county had a tolerance policy. Debrah stated that if there were NO Trespassing signs posted it could be directed to Sheriff’s Department. General discussion about Collier County policies and provisions for the homeless ensued. Eric from Code Enforcement discussed the lot maintenance ordinance said they can put a lien on a property with an additional $100 Administration Fee, and that there is currently a Code Case on file for the specific property being discussed by the Committee. iii. FEMA—MSTU Expenditure: Shirley mentioned the MSTU has been budgeted an additional $100,000 from the County to use to assist with Irma clean up, with the assumption it will be reimbursed through FEMA. If the costs are not reimbursed it may become a liability for the MSTU. They would like to not utilize the County funds if possible. Whatever is not covered by FEMA can be covered with these funds. Whatever does not get used goes back to the County. iv. Chanel Marker #15: the marker is on the Coastal Zone list as well as the Sheriff list. While it is considered a non-essential marker, and is a low priority, it is on two list and will be fixed by one of those groups free of charge to the MSTU provided they are willing to be patient. Chairman Roy said they are fine with waiting. v. Fallen Tree on Becca: Joe stated there is a fallen tree on a lot on Becca Ave. The tree does not impede traffic, ergo should be left alone because it fell as a natural occurrence. However, limbs are breaking off regularly into the creek and it is causing a number of issues. Shirley said she would contact the property owner in regard to the tree and that if it is causing issues to the creek it may be taken care of by Ashbritt. vi. Dock Permits: Kate inquired if dock permits expire in the same manner that other construction permits expire. Tami and Debrah both gave some generalized standards and ordinances but stated they would need more specific information to give her a more exact answer. C. 2017 Annual Report: Tami Scott let the board know that the Annual Report is on its 3rd draft and that staff is working to have it completed by the beginning of March for the March CRA meeting. The Report is due in March to the BCC. Chairman Roy had a copy of his letter to be included in the Annual Report and requested the Advisory Committee and Staff read it and give feedback. Everyone said it was good as is. D. 2018 Work Plan: Debrah verified what the Committee wanted their focus in 2018 to be: Replacement of Marker 15, clear out remaining Irma debris, Scan of the Creek to see how much it has changed since their last dredge 10 years ago. E. Scan of Creek: There was some general discussions about dredging the creek. It has been approximately 10 years since the MSTU had the creek dredged. They would like a scan done to determine how much silt has built up in that time. The company in charge of the scan is currently wrapped up in another project locally that they must finish first, but Haldeman Creek is on the list. A scan will take 2 days, one for the main part of the creek and another for a smaller tributary. Once a scan is performed some numbers can be compiled to assist in knowing how often the creek must be dredged. X. New Business: A. Advisory Board Re-Appointment i. Roy Wilson: Jim King made a motion to re-appoint Roy Wilson. Jack Bonzelaar second. Passed Unanimously ii. Joseph Adams: Jim King made a motion to re-appoint Joe Adams. Kate Riley Second. Passed Unanimously. iii. Structure of Board and Term Limits: Shirley said that she does the re- appointments a month in advanced because she makes times for the paperwork to process through the BCC. If there is a vacancy there is no quorum. No quorum=No votes. Debrah briefly covered the Term Limits going to the BCC. Jim spoke about his knowledge of what is happening in regard to CRAs and MSTUs at the State level. Roy asked Debrah to inform the BCC that the HCMSTU general consensus is that to impose term limits on this particular group would be impractical and they request that they continue to operate sans term limits. XI. Project Manager Report: Tami mentioned that the project manager report was included in the Agenda packet and asked for questions. There were questions asked regarding the Racetrac entrance/exit and egress location, the 17 acres proposal, and mini triangle closing this summer. Tami noted the Racetrac property would be going to the Hearing Examiners (HEX) Meeting on February 22nd, 2018 at 9a.m. This is when any district waivers or deviations needed will be discussed. Joe stated that too many variances and permits will make the area too busy. Progress doesn’t mean more. XII. Communication and Correspondence A. US 41 Corridor Study: Tami highlighted the meeting taking place on February 21, 2018 from 6-8pm in regard to the US 41 Corridor B. Call to Artist: The Green Door Nursery will be having a Art Fair on February 17, 2018 from 10a.m.-3p.m. C. MPO Bike/Ped Master Plan Survey: Tami reminded the board of the MPO presentation that happened during the CRA meeting on 2-6-2018 and encouraged everyone to take the survey provided in the Agenda Packet, or to go to the MPO’s County Website and take it there. XIII. Public Comments: Bob, a community member, brought to light a vacant property that could be used as a boat launch for kayaks for the cleanup. He will find out if the owner will allow it and if they will allow a dumpster to be put on the property for the volunteer clean up day. He also discussed a spot in the s-curve of the creek that he has hit something with his boat. Roy and the Committee believe this to be marker #15, but until a scan can be done they do not know for sure, but the HCMSTU is aware. XIV. Staff Comments: None XV. Advisory Committee General Communications: All concerns addressed during the bulk of the meeting. XVI. Next Meeting Date: Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 4:00p.m. XVII.
