LWCF Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form
The purpose of this Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form (PD/ESF) is to provide descriptive
and environmental information about a variety of Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) state assistance
proposals submitted for National Park Service (NPS) review and decision, The completed PD/ESF becomes
part of the "federal administrative record" in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
its implementing regulations. The PD portion of the form captures administrative and descriptive details enabling
the NPS to understand the proposal. The ESF portion is designed for States and/or project sponsors to use while
the LWCF proposal is under development. Upon completion, the ESF will indicate the resources that could be
impacted by the proposal enabling States and/or project sponsors to more accurately follow an appropriate
pathway for NEPA analysis: 1) a recommendation for a Categorical Exclusion (CE), 2) production of an
Environmental Assessment (EA), or 3) production of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), The ESF should
also be used to document any previously conducted yet still viable environmental analysis if used for this federal
proposal. The completed PD/ESF must be submitted as part of the State's LWCF proposal to NPS,
Except for the proposals listed below, the PD/ESF must be completed, including the appropriate NEPA
document, signed by the State, and submitted with each new federal application for LWCF assistance and
amendments for: scope changes that alter or add facilities and/or acres; conversions; public facility exceptions;
sheltering outdoor facilities; and changing the original intended use of an area from that which was approved in
an earlier LWCF agreement. Consult the LWCF Program Manual (www,nps.govllwcf) for detailed guidance for
your type of proposal and on how to comply with NEPA.
For the following types of proposals only this Cover PaQe is required because these types of proposals are
administrative in nature and are categorically excluded from further NEPA environmental analysis, NPS will
complete the NEPA CE Form. Simply check the applicable box below, and complete and submit only this Cover
Page to NPS along with the other items required for your type of proposal as instructed in the LWCF Program
Manual.

B. Section 6(f)(3) Conversion Proposal
Prior to developing your Section 6(f)(3) conversion proposal. you must consult the LWCF Manual and 36 CFR
59,3 for complete guidance on conversions. Local sponsors must consult early with the State LWCF manager
FPS - A047
")R
Packet Page -528-
2/8/2011 Item 16.E.5.
when a conversion is under consideration or has been discovered, States must consult with their NPS-LWCF
manager as early as possible in the conversion process for guidance and to sort out and discuss details of the
conversion proposal to avoid mid-course corrections and unnecessary delays. A critical first step is for the
State and NPS to allree on the size of the Section G(n park land impacted by anv non-recreation. non-
public use, 10/01/08
especially prior to any appraisal activity. Any previous LWCF project agreements and actions must be
identified and understood to determine the actual Section 6(f) boundary,
The Section 6(f)(3) conversion proposal including the required NEPA environmental review documents (CE
recommendation or an EA document) must focus on the loss of public outdoor recreation park land and
recreational usefulness, and its replacement per 36 CFR 59, and !!.Q! the activities precipitating the conversion or
benefits thereof, such as the impacts of constructing a new school to relieve overcrowding or constructing a
hotel/restaurant facility to stimulate the local economy. Rather, the environmental review must 1) focus on
"resource impacts" as indicated on the ESF (Step 6), including the loss of public park land and recreation
opportunities (ESF A-15), and 2) the impacts of creating new replacement park land and replacement recreation
opportunities, A separate ESF must be generated for the converted park area and each replacement site.
Section 6(f)(3) conversions always have more than minor impacts to outdoor recreation (ESF A-15) as a result of
loss of parkland requiring an EA, except for "small" conversions as defined in the LWCF Manual Chapter 8,
For NPS review and decision, the following elements are required to be included in the State's completed
conversion proposal to be submitted to NPS:
1, A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal.
2, A detailed explanation of the sponsor's need to convert the Section 6(f) parkland including all efforts to
consider other practical alternatives to this conversion, how they were evaluated, and the reasons they
were not pursued.
3, An explanation of how the conversion is in accord with the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
(SCORP),
4. Completed "State Appraisal/Waiver Valuation Review form in Step 7 for each of the converted and
replacement parcels certifying that the appraisals meet the "Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land
Acquisitions," States must retain copies of the appraisals/waiver valuations and make them available for

5, For the park land proposed for conversion, a detailed description including the following:
a, Specific geographic location on a map, 9-digit zip code, and name of park or recreation area proposed
for conversion,
b, Description of the area proposed for the conversion including the acreage to be converted and any
acreage remaining, For determining the size of the conversion, consider not only the physical footprint

park area. In manv cases the size of the converted area is laroeI' than the physical footprint. Include a
description of the recreation resources, facilities, and recreation opportunities that will be impacted,
displaced or lost by the proposed conversion, For proposals to partially convert a Section 6(f) park
area, the remaining 6(f) park land must remain recreationally viable and not be impacted by the
activities that are precipitating the conversion. If it is anticipated that the precipitating activities impact
the remaining Section 6(1) area, the proposed area for the conversion should be expanded to
encompass all impacted park land.

C. Proposal for a Public Facility in a Section 6{f) Area
Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. In summary, NPS
must review and decide on requests to construct a public indoor and/or non-recreation facility within a Section
6(f) area, In certain cases NPS may approve the construction of public facilities within a Section 6(f) area where
it can be shown that there will be a net gain in outdoor recreation benefits and enhancements for the entire
park In most cases, development of a non-recreation public facility within a Section 6(f) area constitutes a
conversion. For NPS review, the State/sponsor must submit a proposal to NPS under a letter of transmittal from
the SLO that:
1. Describes the purpose and all proposed uses of the public facility such as types of programming,
recreation activities, and special events including intended users of the new facility and any agency,
organization, or other party to occupy the facility, Describe the interior and exterior of tile facility, such as
office space, meeting rooms, food/beverage area, residential/lodging area, classrooms, gyms, etc. Explain
how the faciiity will be compatible with the outdoor recreation area, Explain how the facility and associated
uses will significantly support and enhance existing and planned outdoor recreation resources and uses of
tile site, and flOW outdoor recreation use will remain tile primary function of the site. (The public's outdoor
recreation use must continue to be gr'eater than that expected for any indoor use, unless the site is a single
facility, such as a swimming pool, which virtually occupies the entire site.)
2, Indicates the exact location of the proposed public facility and associated activities on the site's Section 6(1)
map. Explain the design and location alternatives considered for the public facility and why they were not
pursued.
3, Explains who will own and/or operate and maintain the facility? Attach any 3" party leases and operation
and management agreements, When will the facility be open to the public? Will the facility ever be used for
private functions and closed to the public? Explain any user or other fees that will be instituted, including
the fee structure.
4, Includes required documents as a result of a completed NEPA process (Steps 5 _ 7).

A. Proposal for Temporary Non-Conforming Use
Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review
and decided on requests for temporary uses that do not meet the requirements of allowable activities within a
Section 6(f) area. A temporary non-conforming use is limited to a period of six months (180 days) or less.
Continued use beyond six-months will not be considered temporary, and may result in a Section 6(f)(3)
conversion of use requiring the replacement of converted parkland. For NPS review, describe the temporary
non-conforming use (activities other than public outdoor recreation) in detail including the following information:
1. A letter of transmittal from tile SLO recommending the proposal.
2. Describe in detail the proposed temporary non-conforming use and all associated activities, why it is
needed, and alternative locations that were considered and why they were not pursued.
3, Explain length of time needed for the temporary non-conforming use and why.
4. Describe the size of the Section 6(f) area affected by the temporary non-conforming use activities and
expected impacts to public outdoor recreation areas, facilities and opportunities. Explain efforts to keep the
size of the area impacted to a minimum. Indicate the location of the non-conforming use on the site's 6(f)
map.
5. Describe any anticipated temporary/permanent impacts to the Section 6(f) area and how the sponsor will
mitigate them during and after the non-conforming use ceases.
6. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional reqUirements and guidelines before developing the proposal.
Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 >-
B. Proposal for Significant Change in Use
Prior to developing the proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance, NPS approval must
be obtained prior to any change from one eligible use to another when the proposed use would significantly
contravene the original plans or intent for the area outlined in the original LWCF application for federal
assistance. Consult with NPS for early determination on the need for a formal review. NPS approval is only
required for proposals that will significantly change the use of a LWCF-assisted site (e.g., from passive to
active recreation). The proposal must include and address the following items:
1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommendll1g the proposal.
2. Description of the proposed changes and how they significantly contravene the original plans or intent of
LWCF agreements.
3. Explanation of the need for change in use and how the change is consistent with local plans and the
SCORP.
4. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines before developing the proposal.
Proceed to Steps 5 through 7
::>
C. Proposal for Sheltering Facilities
Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review
and decide on all proposals to shelter an existing outdoor recreation facility or construct a new sheltered
recreation facility within a Section 6(f) area regardless of funding source. The proposal must demonstrate that
there is an increased benefit to public recreation opportunity. Describe the sheltering proposal in detail, including
the following:
1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal.
2, Describe the proposed sheltered facility, how it would operate, how the sheltered facility will include
recreation uses that could typically occur outdoors, and how the primary purpose of the sheltered facility is
recreation.
3. Explain Il0W the sheltered facility would not substantially diminish the outdoor recreation values of the site
including how the sheltered facility will be compatible and significantly supportive of the outdoor recreation resources
present and/or planned.

Step 5. Summary of Previous Environmental Review (including E.O. 12372 -Inlergovernmental Review)
To avoid duplication of effort and unnecessary delays, describe any prior environmental review undertaken at
any time and still viable for this proposal or related efforts that could be useful for understanding potential
environmental impacts. Consider previous local, state, federal (e.g. HUD, EPA, USFWS, FHWA, DOT) and any
other environmental reviews. At a minimum, address the following:
1. Date of environmental review(s), purpose for the environmental review(s) and for whom they were
conducted. - SEE ATTACHED SHEET
2. Description of the proposed action and alternatives. Described /n EIS
3. Who was involved in identifying resource impact issues and developing the proposal including the
interested and affected public, government agencies, and Indian tribes. Collier County staff
4. Environmental resources analyzed and determination of impacts for proposed actions and alternatives.
Described in EIS
5. Any mitigation measures to be part of the proposed action. - SEE ATTACHED SHEET
6. Intergovernmental Review Process (Executive Order 12372): Does the State have an Intergovernmental
Review Process? Yes _ No -L. If yes, has the LWCF Program been selected for review under
the State Intergovernmental Review Process? Yes _ No _' If yes, was this proposal reviewed
by the appropriate State, metropolitan, regional and local agencies, and if so, attach any information and
comments received about this proposal. If proposal was not reviewed, explain why not.
7. Public comment periods (how long, when in the process, who was invited to comment) and agency
response. Required as part of the Rezone process, but has not occurred yet.
8. Any formal decision and supporting reasons regarding degree of potential impacts to the human
environment. None
9. Was this proposed LWCF federal action and/or any other federal actions analyzed/reviewed in any of the
previous environmental reviews? If so, what was analyzed and wllat impacts were identified? Provide
specific environmental review document references. No
Use resource impact information generated during previous environmental reviews described above and from
recently conducted site inspections to complete the Environmental Screening Form (ESF) portion of this PD/ESF
under Step 6. Your ESF responses should indicate your proposal's potential for impacting each resource as
determined in the previous environmental review(s), and include a reference to where the analysis can be found
in an earlier environmental review document. If the previous environmental review documents contain proposed
actions to mitigate impacts, briefly summarize the mitigation for each resource as appropriate. The appropriate
references for previous environmental review document(s) must be documented on the ESF, and the actual
document(s) along with this PD/ESF must be included in the submission for NPS review.

Step 6. Environmental Screening Form (ESF)
This portion of the PD/ESF is a working tool used to identify the level of environmental documentation which
must accompany the proposal submission to the NPS. By completing the ESF, the project sponsor is providing
support for its recommendation in Step 7 that the proposal either:
1. meets criteria to be categorically excluded (CE) from further NEPA review and
no additional environmental documentation is necessary; or
2. requires further analysis through an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental
impact statement (EIS).
An ESF alone does not constitute adequate environmental documentation unless a CE is recommended. If an
EA is required, the EA process and resulting documents must be included in the proposal submission to the
NPS. If an EIS may be required, the State must request NPS guidance on how to proceed.
The scope of the required environmental analysis will vary according to the type of LWCF proposal. For
example, the scope for a new L WCF project will differ from the scope for a conversion. Consult the L WCF
Manual for guidance on defining the scope or extent of environmental analysis needed for your LWCF proposal.
As early as possible in your planning process, consider how your proposal/project may have direct, indirect and
cumulative impacts on the human environment for your type of LWCF action so planners have an opportunity to
design alternatives to lessen impacts on resources, if appropriate. When used as a planning tool in this way, the
ESF responses may change as the proposal is revised until it is ready for submission for federal review.
Initiating or completing environmental analysis after a decision has been made is contrary to both the spirit and
letter of the law of the NEPA
The ESF should be completed with input from resource experts and in consultation with relevant local, state,
tribal and federal governments, as applicable. The interested and affected public should be notified of the
proposal and be invited to participate in scoping out the proposal (see LWCF Manual Chapter 4). At a minimum,
a site inspection of the affected area must be conducted by individuals who are familiar with the type of affected
resources, possess the ability to identify potential resource impacts, and to know when to seek additional data
when needed.
At the time of proposal submission to NPS for federal review, the completed ESF must justify the NEPA pathway
that was followed: CE recommendation, production of an EA, or production of an EIS. The resource topics and
issues identified on the ESF for this proposal must be presented and analyzed in an attached EAlEIS. Consult
the LWCF Manual for further guidance on LWCF and NEPA
The ESF contains two parts that must be completed:
Part A. Environmental Resources
Part B. Mandatory Criteria
Part A: For each environmental resource topic, choose an impact estimate level (none, negligible, minor,
exceeds minor) that describes the degree of potential neqative impact for each listed resource that may occur
directly, indirectly and cumulatively as a result of federal approval of your proposal. For each impacted resource
provide a brief explanation of how the resource migllt be affected, how the impact level was determined, and
why the chosen impact level is appropriate. If an environmental review has already been conducted on your
proposal and is still viable, include the citation including any planned mitigation for each applicable resource, and
choose an impact level as mitigated. If the resource does not apply to your proposal, mark NA in the first
column. Add any relevant resources (see A24 on the ESF) if not included in the list.
Use a separate sheet to brieflv clarify how each resource could be adversely impacted: any direct. indirect. and
cumulative impacts that may occur; and any additional data that still needs to be determined. Also explain any
planned mitigation already addressed in prevIous environmental reviews.
Part B: This is a list of mandatory Impact criteria that preclude the use of categorical exclusions. If you answer
"yes" or "maybe" for any of the mandatory criteria, you must develop an EA or EIS regardless of your answers in
Part A Explain all "yes" and "maybe" answers on a separate sheet.

Step 2 - B 1. Describe the physical improvements and/or facilities that will be developed
with federal LWCF assistance, including a site sketch depicting improvements, where
and how the public wi/I access the site, parking, etc. Indicate entrances on 6(f) map.
Indicate to what extent the project involves new development, rehabilitation, and/or
replacement of existing facilities.
This project includes the construction of a canoe/kayak launch facility along the
Gordon River. The facility will include a launch area for canoes and kayaks; 33
parking spaces (4 of which will be handicapped accessible); a family restroom
facility; a picnic pavilion; a children's play area; and 300 feet of trails (120 feet of
boardwalk and 180 feet of asphalt) that will connect with the remaining proposed
Gordon River Greenway Park trail system. Only one small, unoccupied,
residential building that will be razed during construction currently exists within
the project boundary. The proposed facilities will be constructed within 3.6 acres
of the project boundary that has been previously cleared and/or is over-grown
with non-native plants. Although no historical or archaeological resources exist
within the project boundary, sites have been recorded nearby within other areas
of the Gordon River Greenway Park. Approximately 1 acre of disturbed Wetland
Forested Mixed ecosystem will be preserved and restored within the project site.
The disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem currently contains the
following invasive, exotic plant species: Brazilian pepper, Australian pine,
melaleuca, shoe-button ardisia, wedelia, and old-world climbing fern. Dominant
native vegetation includes: scattered red mangrove and buttonwood in the
canopy; cabbage palm in the sub-canopy; and golden leather fern, giant leather
fern, Boston fern, swamp fern and camphorweed in the understory,
Step 2 - 07. As a result of this project, describe new types of outdoor recreation
opportunities and capacities, and short and long term public benefits.
Hiking, biking, jogging, rollerblading, environmental education, nature walks, bird-
watching, and nature photography will all be possible with the construction of the
multi-use trail within the project site. Thirty-three vehicles will have the ability to
access the site at one time. Picnicking, children's playground use, and
canoeing/kayaking will also be possible at the project site. The public will benefit
immediately through direct use of the site for the various outdoor activities listed
above. The restored 1 acre of Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem on site will
provide long term public benefit by creating green-space and wildlife habitat and
by providing flood protection. Additionally, educational programs created by the
Collier County Parks and Recreation Department will benefit the community for
many years.

Step 2 - 09. Describe the planning process that led to the development of this proposal.
This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe/Kayak Launch, is only one
part of the larger Gordon River Greenway Park, The planning of the Gordon River
Greenway Park has been a collaborative effort among Collier County, the Naples
Airport Authority, the Naples Zoo, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, and the
Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust. Although the particulars of this grant
application have not been discussed among these groups, the design of the
Canoe/Kayak Launch has been discussed among these groups and the public.
The Gordon River Greenway Park Project is a standing item on the Collier County
Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Board's (CCLAAC) monthly
meeting agenda. All CCLAAC meetings are open to the public.
Stakeholder meetings with members of the public and private organizations
effected by the Gordon River Greenway Park are also held on a regular basis; the
last one took place for 1.5 hours on January 14, 2011. During this meeting, the
particulars of this grant application were not discussed, but members of the public
were given the opportunity to comment on all aspects of the Gordon River
Greenway Park 30% design plans, which included the project area associated with
this grant application. No comments were received regarding the project area.
Step 2 - 010. How does this proposal implement statewide outdoor recreation goals
as presented in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)
(include references), and explain why this proposal was selected using the State's Open
Project Selection Process (OPSP).
This proposal implements the following statewide outdoor recreation goals as
presented in Florida's 2008 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan:
Goal 4. Provide additional o()/JorTunities for resource-based and user-oriented
recreation in both urban and rural areas. with a wide ranqe of facilitv
development from the primitive to the fullv developed. Although the Gordon
River Greenway Park Canoe/Kayak Launch facility is located within urban Collier
County, it will be set back into the thick vegetation along the Gordon River.
Visitors will be able to hike, bike, jog, rollerblade, picnic, and canoe/kayak at the
site, Children will be able to play at a small play area and restrooms will be
provided.
Goal 5. Suppod proqrams to broaden the public's padicipation in outdoor
recreation activities.
This project will encourage the public to paliicipate in hiking, jogging, bird-
watching, nature photography, and canoeing/kayaking. In addition, the Collier
County Parks and Recreation Depaliment will provide a variety of nature-based
public programs at this site.
Packet Page -540-
2/8/2011 Item 16.E.5.
Goal 6. ImDrove access to recreational oDDortunities for (Jersons of all aaes and
abilities. This project will provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to
an ADA trail system and canoe/kayak launch.
Goal 7. Promote a stewardshiD ethic. encouraqe volunteerism. and increase the
Dublic's understandina of the value and im(Jottance of Florida's (Jub/ic lands and
their natural and cultural resources. The natural vegetation within this project site
will be restored. The trails of this site will connect up to other Gordon River
Greenway Park trails that will include sign age regarding the historical natural
resources of the Park. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department
also has a very active volunteer program, and will encourage people to volunteer
at the Gordon River Greenway once it is constructed.
This project was selected for submittal because: it will implement the above SCORP
goals, objectives, and priorities; it will provide for picniCking and nature study in Florida's
Region IX; it has been discussed at a regularly scheduled advisory board meeting; it will
be a linear park; Collier County has the capability to develop, operate and maintain the
project; it will provide for new development of entirely undeveloped property; it will
provide 3 or more new recreational facilities; it will provide for new support facilities; it
provides developed pedestrian access to and along a water resource; it will provide a
facility for recreational use of water resources (canoe/kayak launch); it will provide 6
facilities that have been identified in the priority of new facilities needs within the state of
Florida's population density 5; and it will address the lower priority of infrastructure
funding needs within the state of Florida's population density 5.
Step 2 - D 12. Is this L WCF project scope part of a larger effott not reflected on the
SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance) and grant agreement?
This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe/Kayak Launch, is only one
part of the larger Gordon River Greenway Project. For over 20 years, the idea of a
centrally located preserve/park along the Gordon River has been envisioned by
various community groups in Collier County. in mid-2005, moving towards
realization of this vision, Collier County purchased over 100 contiguous acres along
the Gordon River, including this project site. The purchase was actually the result
of a community effort to accomplish two goals. The first goai was to save the
Naples Zoo, a longtime Naples attraction, from having the lands it leased sold out
from under it. The second goal was to acquire lands along the Gordon River for the
Gordon River Greenway. In November 2005, voters in Collier County
overwhelmingly approved a $40 million bond to help pay for the northernmost
section of the Gordon River Greenway Park, and the Trust for Public Lands
assisted with the negotiations and purchase. The southernmost 43.5 acres of the
Greenway Park were acquired by Conservation Collier (Collier County's
conservation land acquisition program) in April 2006. The Conservation Collier
Program was overwhelmingly approved by Collier County voters in two successive
voter referendums; in 2002 by 62% and again in 2006 by 82%.

Partner agencies for the Gordon River Greenway Project include: Big Cypress
Basin/South Florida Water Management District; the Conservancy of Southwest
Florida; Collier County Facilities Management Department, Parks and Recreation
Department, and Stormwater Department; Florida Gulf Coast University; Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and others, including local
conservation groups.
The Gordon River Greenway Project itself is also a part of a larger initiative called
the Naples Bay Initiative (NBI). The NBI is a plan of larger scope that includes
multiple projects intended to restore the Naples Bay. This Initiative has multiple
partners including, but not limited to: The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, The
Bay Management Organization, Florida Wildlife Federation, Collier County
Environmental Advisory Council, Naples City Council, Board of Collier County
Commissioners and the Big Cypress Basin Board/South Florida Water
Management District.

Step 5 - 5. Any mitigation measures to be part of the proposed action.
State and federal wetland mitigation impacts were calculated in the prepared
EIS. On-site restoration within other portions of the Gordon River Greenway
Park will be used to mitigate wetland impacts to the project site.
Step 6 - A 1. Soils will be impacted when lagoon for canoe/kayak launch is dredged
Step 6 - A4. Water quality on site will be impacted during dredging of the canoe/kayak
launch, but turbidity barriers will be set up to eliminate discharge into the Gordon River
during construction
Step 6 - A7. Disturbed wetlands that are impacted by invasive, exotic plants will be
destroyed during the creation of the lagoon. On-site wetland mitigation within other
portions of the Gordon River Greenway Park will meet requirements of State and
Federal agencies.

P art II, A. 2. A. Explain how the proposed project would address one or more of the
issues, recommendations or goals identified in the State Comprehensive Outdoor
Recreation Plan.
ISSUES
Recreational Access to Florida's Waters - The Gordon River Greenway Park
Canoe/Kayak Launch facility will provide the public with non-motorized recreational
access to the Gordon River, which leads to Naples' Bay and ultimately the Gulf of
Mexico.
Tourism - This project will not only create tourist access to the Gordon River, but will
also serve as one of two access points to approximately two miles of proposed trails
t11roughout the Gordon River Greenway that will exist to the north, east, and south of the
project site.
ReconnectinG Children and Youth to the Outdoors - This project will allow children to
participate in hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing within an urban location. The Collier
County Parks and Recreation Department will also utilize this project site for children's
camp programs.
GOALS
4. Provide additional opportunities for resource-based and user-oriented recreation in
both urban and rural areas, with a wide ranGe of facilitv development from the primitive
to the fullv developed. Although the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe/Kayak
Launch facility is located within urban Collier County, it will be set back into the thick
vegetation along the Gordon River. Visitors will be able to hike, bike, jog, rollerblade,
picnic, and canoe/kayak at the site. Children will be able to play at a small play area
and restrooms will be provided.
5. Support proGrams to broaden the public's participation in outdoor recreation activities.
This project will encourage the public to participate in hiking, jogging, bird-watching,
nature photography, and canoeing/kayaking. In addition, the Collier County Parks and
Recreation Department will provide a variety of nature-based public programs at this
site.
6. Improve access to recreational oPPoltunities for persons of all aGes and abilities.
This project will provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to an ADA trail
system and canoe/kayak launch.
7. Promote a stewardship ethic, encouraGe volunteerism, and increase the public's
understandinG of the value and importance of Florida's Dublic lands and their natural
and cultural resources. The natural vegetation within this project site will be restored.
The trails of this site will connect up to othsr Gordon River Greenway Park trails that will
Packet Page -558-
2/8/2011 Item 16.E.5.
in elude signage regarding the historical and natural resources of the Park. The Collier
County Parks and Recreation Department also has a very active volunteer program and
wi /I encourage people to volunteer at the Gordon River Greenway once it is constructed.
R ECOMMENDA TIONS
PLANNING
4. Local overnments that have not alread done so should evaluate cun'ent and future
local recreation needs and address those needs in their local comorehensive olans.
Local recreation olans should be develo ed in a re ional context in coo eration with
other recreation oroviders in the reGion. Collier County has evaluated the current and
future recreation needs of the County and has addressed them in the Recreation and
Open Space Element (ROSE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Per the
ROSE the County has developed a community and regional park system to provide
useable open space to meet the recreational needs of residents within the community.
ACQUIRING AND MANAGING CONSERVATION LANDS
1. Public land mana in a encies should ensure that all lands under their mana ement
are 0 en for a ro riate ublic access as soon as ossible after ac_uisition. This
should be done in a way that does not comoromise the resources of the lands or the
missions of the manaGinG aGencies. This project will allow the public to access
approximately 2-miles of proposed trails through environmentally sensitive areas that
were acquired in 2005 and 2006. Development within the project site is occurring within
land that has been previously andlor is infested with invasive, exotic vegetation. Natural
lands remaining within the project site will be restored to a Wetland Forested Mixed
ecosystem through the control of invasive, exotic vegetation.
3. Resource manaGement and restoration activities 0/7 oubHc lands should be oreat/\!
ex anded. Most lands in ublic ownershi were de raded to some extent rior to
ac uisition some extremel so. Lands that are in a hi h ualit condition often re"uire
substantial resource manaoement effort to maintain them in that condition. Activities
such as oresclibed burnino, exotic soecies removal and hYdrolooical restoration are
vital to oravidinG and maintainino the hioh ouality natural and cultural resources that
sUDDortresource-based recreation. Invasive, exotic plant control will be implemented
within the natural area of the project site.
FUNDING
5. All ark and recreation a encies should maximize the use of volunteers and citizen-
based su ort Ofi anizations to su lement their existin resources and ersonnel. The
Collier County Parks and Recreation Department has a large and active volunteer labor
base and employs and full-time volunteer coordinator to manage their activities.
Packet Page -559-
2/8/2011 Item 16.E.5.
ACTIVE AND HEALTHY LIVING
2. Public palk and recreation aoencies should continue efforts to create and PlDmote
outdoor recreation activities throuoh- out the state in cooperation with private interest
qroups, non-profit oroanizations and volunteers. Once complete, the project site will be
uti lized by both Parks and Recreation staff and volunteers and Conservancy of
Southwest Florida (local non-profit organization) staff and volunteers as a location for
ed ucational programs.
3. Public park and recreation aoencies should continue to work with local /Jlannino,
qrowth manaoement and oreenwav and trail proorams to imPlDve the abilitvof
Floridians to walk and bicvcle to wor/(, school and other dailv activities, and to provide
public outdoor recreation opportunities. This project will allow the public access to a
linear, nature park that will also serve as a bicycle/pedestrian route enabling the public
to by-pass street-sidewalks to get from one place to another.
OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PEOPLE
2. Outdoor recreation providers should take measures to ensure that all people,
includinG those with disabilities, receive the same opportunities to participate in and
eniov the benefits of recreation PiDorams and activities. This project site will be
constructed to ADA standards to ensure that all citizens can access the facilities.
FLORIDA'S WATERS
8. Public recreation providers should identifv water areas under their iurisdictions where
inadeouate recreational access exists or where existinG water access can be improved,
and oive prioritv to makino the needed improvements. No public canoe/kayak launches
currently exist along the Gordon River. This project will provide public access to the
Gordon River.

Melissa Hellnig rc\'icwcd thc rationale for tbe recommendations including:
. Wbcntbc budget projections wcrc prcpared in May of2010. taxablc \'alucs
for thc County wcre expected to decrease 7% for FYll (o\'cr FY10) and
remain nat for FY ] 2 (over FY II).
. New projections indicate ta:-.:able values will decrease by 11.7'1., in FY II,
7'10 in FY 12 and remain nat for FY 13.
. ]n May, it was cstimated 56.3M would be al'ailablc for land acquisitions
(Sl.')M for the remaining parcels in Unit 53 and Wincheslcr 1 lcad anel
54.4;I,;[ for new acquisitions).
. Projections now indicate 54.7M will be n\'ailab1e for acquisitions (52.8M
will be a\'ailable for ncw acquisition and S I .9M available for Winchcster
Hcad and Unit 53 acquisitions).
. In May of2010, interest rates were estimated at 1.5% for FYI] and to
slowly increasc to 3.67% by fY20.
. New projections indicate the interest rate will be .88% for FY11 and slowly
increase to ~.OW~{1 hy FY2(),
. Preservation hll1d needs to be managed to a certain level of service 10
support the species that inhabit them ami provide the neecssary public
bcnefils (access to the property, etc.)
. Givcnlhe current projections, interest income from the JvLmagcmc111 fund
may not be sufficientlo provide the required Ie\'el of scrvice to the
Prescr\'cs.
. Staff is CClncerned with the expenditurc of funds on additional acquisitions
untillhey are assured funds are available to properly manage the existing
preserves.
. To assist in determining how any a\'ailable fll1lds may be expended in the
future, Stal'/' rccommends prioritizing an acquisition list and the public
amcnitil:s proposed for each Preserve.

Chairman Poteet eXJlrcssed concern over Stalfs rationale for anticipating
decreases in taxable values over FYII and FY 12 as real cstale sales data over the
past 4 - 8 months indicate the propcliy values have "Oattencd out."
Dwight Broe!i, Collicr County Clerk of Circllit Courts addresscd the
Commi1lee and submitted the document "Collier COllllty IIIl'estll/elll Porifolio as
o( II /30/20J 0" for informational purposcs. He provided an overview on thc
County's concept of investing County ftlnds which providc the intercst revenue in
question. ]-Ie noted the purpose oftaxatiou is not to invest money for the
contributors, rathcr raise the funds nccessary to operale thc government.
Therefore, the County has a VCI)' conservativc llJlproach for investing any
available funds and invests the funds based on the best available situation at the
time. This activity provides for" eonscrvative retum on invcstment.
Mr. Dclatc noledlhe Commi1lee should determine what measures should be
ill1pJementcd to "close out" any existing multi parcel acquisition projects such as
Unit 53 and Winchester Head.
lVlr. Pires cited Scction of the Ordin3ncc governing the Committee which notcd
"al such rillles rhere are illslI[liciclllllllcollllllilted.fUllds illlhe lIcljuisiliolllrllsr

Mr. Sobczak agreed on the issuc of completing multi parcel projccts and

proposed resource prolectionjcollse17l!ltion !Iud any existillg buildings on sileo
This project includes the construction of a canoe/kayak launch facility along the
Gordon River. The facility will include a launch area for canoes and kayaks; 33 parking
spaces (4 of which will be handicapped accessible); a family restroom facility; a picnic
pavilion; a children's play area; and 300 feet of trails (120 feet of boardwalk and 180 feet
of asphalt) that will COlUlect with the remaining proposed Gordon River Greenway Park
trail system. Only one small, unoccupied, residential building that will be razed during
consh'uction exists within the project boundary. The proposed facilities will be
consh'ucted within 3.6 acres of the project boundary that has been previously cleared
and/or is over-grown with non-native plants. Although no historical or archaeological
resources were discovered within the project boundary, sites have been recorded
nearby within other areas of the Gordon River Greenway Park. Approximately 1 acre
of disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem will be preserved and restored within
the project site. The disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem currently contains
the following invasive, exotic plant species: Brazilian pepper, Aush'alian pine,
melaleuca, shoe-button ardisia, wedelia, and old-world climbing fern. Dominant native
vegetation includes: scattered red mangrove and buttonwood in the canopy; cabbage
palm in the sub-canopy; and golden leather fern, giant leather fern, Boston fern, swamp
fern and camphorweed in the understory.
This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe/Kayak Launch, is only one part
of the larger Gordon River Greenway Project. For over 20 years, the idea of a cenh'ally
located preserve/park along the Gordon River has been envisioned by various
community groups in Collier County. In mid-2005, moving towards realization of this
vision, Collier County purchased over 100 contiguous acres along the Gordon I~iver,
including this project site. The purchase was actually the result of a community effort
to accomplish two goals. The first goal was to save the Naples Zoo, a longtime Naples
attraction, from having the lands it leased sold out from under it. The second goal was
to acquire lands along the Gordon River for the Gordon River Greenway. In November
2005, voters in Collier County overwhelmingly approved a $40 million bond to help
pay for this land, the northernmost section of the Gordon River Greenway Park, and the
Trust for Public Lands assisted with the negotiations and purchase. The southel'lUl10st
43.5 acres of the Greenway Park were acquired by Conservation Collier (Collier
County's conservation land acquisition program) in April 2006. The Conservation
Collier Program was overwhelmingly approved by Collier County voters in two
successive voter referendums; in 2002 by 62% and again in 2006 by 82%.
Parl11er agencies for the Gordon River Greenway Project include: Big Cypress
Basin/South Florida Water Management District; the Conservancy of Southwest
Florida; Collier County Facilities Management Department, Parks and Recreation
Deparh11ent, and Stormwater Department; Plorida Gulf Coast University; Florida Fish
Packet Page -609-

and Wildlife Conservation COIlli11ission and others, including local canservation
groups.
The Gordon River Greenway Project itsC'Jf is also a part of a larger initiative callC'd the
Naples Bay Initiative (NBI). The NBl is a plan of larger scope that includes multiple
projects intended to restore the Naples Bay. This Initiative has multiple partners
including, but not limited ta: The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, The Bay
Management Organization, Florida Wildlife Federation, Collier County Environmental
Advisory Council, Naples City Council, Board of Collier County Commissioners and
the Big Cypress Basin Board/Sauth Florida Water Management District.
