SUBJECT: Golden Gates Estates MANAGEMENT •
(General Permit SAJ-48) •
Dear Colonel Herndon: • -
' This is in response to the above referenced General Permit (GP) for fill
. placement in the wetlands of the Golden Gates Estates development for housepad,
driveway and septic tank/drainfield construction in Collier County, Florida.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed a similar Golden Gates •
Estates GP for residential development in 1983, and at that time we expressed
our serious concerns with. potential adverse environmental impacts that would
result from authorization-of such—S GP.as well—as the non—compliance with the
Section 404(b) Guidel'nes of a Golden Gates Estates GP for residential
de elopment. _
0 July 1, 1988, a member of my staff participated in a joint interagency site
i spection of the proposed Golden Gates Estates GP area in the company of Corps
egulatory Division, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Collier County and
lorida Game and FreahwcOvec- Fish Commission biologists. Our field inspection
focused on the •por :ori-.`o :4He. Estates north of Alligator Alley with the •
highest quality wetland tQveg5and lowest concentrations of development, as
possible areas which ohodjja Ije excluded from the GP and where wetland filling •
• would continue to be eVaLtIo.ted under the individual Section 404 permit pro—
cess. The proposed 4P watitalct \t.rtit wetland filling to no more than 10,000
• square feet per lot. ra air i m lot sizes in Golden Gates Estates are 1.13 acres.
Our evaluation of residential development trends in wetlands in Golden Gates
Estates north of Alliga::or Alley over the past eight years indicates serious
compliance problems with Section 404 permit requirements. Over this period of
•
time, approximately 66 Section 404 permits have been issued by your office for
• residential wetland fills. A December, 1986, Collier Conservancy study, en—
titled, "Cost to Society of Draining Wetlands Golden Gates Estates", found that
over a three year period from 1982 to 1985, approximately 695 residential units
. were constructed in the Estates and 551 wetland jurisdictional determinations
wereperformed by the Corps. In light of the fact that approximately 507. of _
Golden Gates Estates nort:h•of •Alligatar Alley is wetlands, it appears that
numerous resid.ntial fills have been completed in wetlands without Section 404
pe r.aits. Although the ecological values of many wetland areas in Golden Gates
Estates north of the Alley have been degraded as a result of construction of an
extensive roadway and canal system in the 1960-s, with •attendent lowering of
•groundwater tables and alteration of hydrological sheetflows, many productive
_ t •
we_Lind areas remain. r:� - •

Philosophically, this Agency cannot fully support a GP which authorizes
non-water dependent filling of wetlands, even wetlands of reduced quality, over
an extensive geographical area, such as the-northern portion of Golden Gates
Estates.' We remain concerned that construction of numerous residential house
pads, driveways and drain fields in Golden ,Gates Estates wetlands will result -
in significant :adverse.environmental impacts. However, in light of the limited
resources available to both of our agencies, and the fact that a modified GP
would enhance-our ability to carefully manage the highest quality wetlands in .
Golden.Gates Estates, EPA Region IV would like to work with your office in
developing.a Golden.Gates Estates GP which would- include the following special
conditions:
1) The authorized GP fill to minimize wetland impacts area will-be reduced
' .. to 8,000 square feet of wetlands at each lot. If upland areas exist on '
the property, all -practicable efforts will be used to develop on the -
uplands, minimizing wetland filling. Property owners will eradicate
exotic tree species in onsite wetlands to partially compensate for
onsite wetland filling.
2). .Due-.to_the.ecological value of wetlands in the following development
units, -the .GP,,will :not apply to wetlands areas_in units 36,`.38, 42;'85-,'
86,-.189, 90, 91, 91A, 92;sand :92A. -
3)_ Due to our concerns with this GP, EPA recommends that two years after '
implementation of the GP an interagency evaluation of the-GP, coor- _
: . . dinated by the Corps, will assess the effectiveness of the GP,'
.- compliance with specific conditions of.-the-.GP and the status of - - .
enforcement matters in Golden Gates Estates. .
If these features are made a part of the GP, EPA would not object to issuance
of GP SAJ-48.
Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to comment on this matter.
Sincerely yours, - • - _

Collier County Natural Resource Management Department "
FROM: Chris Hag
DATE: February 21, 1994
RE: EPTAB - Golden Gate Estates Subcommittee
Meeting Schedule
PBS&J File #86-84D.08
As you know, EPTAB has been involved in discussions regarding U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
permitting in Golden Gate Estates. At the February 14, 1994 meeting a subcommittee was
formed to review this issue and submit recommendations back to EPTAB.
This memorandum is submitted to confirm the time and location for the subcommittee meeting.
I understand that we are scheduled for the conference room on the third floor of the County
Health Building on Wednesday, February 23, 1994 at 4:00 p.m. In order to properly prepare
for this meeting, I request that your staff please collect the following items:
1. Collier County Building Permit Application for single family homes;
2. A standard General Permit Application form for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers;
An approved Single Family Building Permit Application from Public Records as an
example.
I'd like to discuss this information during our subcommittee meeting, and review the impacts with
regards to cost, time and man power for each level of Corps permit listed below:
1. Permit Exemption,
2. General Permit allowing 8,000 s.f. of impact,
3. General Permit allowing 1 acre of impact,
4. Individual permit for each lot.
I believe that the subcommittee needs to consider the costs, not only to the property owner but
to the Corps of Engineers and the County for the review and administration of these permits.
I understand that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has one (1) field representative for all of
Lee, Charlotte and Collier Counties. I also understand that currently Collier County does not
have any staff assigned to review these permit applications should the COE delegate it's authority.

multi-family and commercial building permits may utilize this program.
This program relies on the applicant completing the BUILDING PERMIT
CHECKLIST, the following instructions and furnishing all required
documents . Permit packages can be dropped off between 8 :30 A.M. and 10:30
A.M. without waiting to see a Customer Service Agent.
Permit packages with the proper deposit check may be dropped off with the
clerk at the permit pick up area and a receipt will be issued. Later in
the day, all applicants will be called and informed of the status of
their application. Applicants with complete permit packages will be
advised of their assigned permit number. Applicants with deficient or
incomplete packages will be advised to pick up their submittal within 3
working days . Deficient or incomplete submittals left for more than
three days will be destroyed.
Remember this is an optional program we will continue to accept
applications in the traditional manner, since all applicants may not be
interested in participating in the "CHECKLIST-DROPOFF PROGRAM."
Design professionals, developers and contractors involved with
multi-family and commercial projects are encouraged to schedule a
preapplication meeting with the plan review staff prior to submitting
their projects for permit approval .
This document includes a listing of the codes and ordinances currently in
effect in Collier County, and the names and phone numbers of key persons
to contact during design or prior to permit application submittal. We
encourage designers to contact the appropriate Plans Examiner directly.
Commercial and multi-family permit applicants should be aware that a
zoning review is required, even if a SDP is not required.
The following pages are a brief explanation of each item on the check
list . We have tried to include as much information in this document as
possible without it becoming overwhelming. The content of the document
addresses new one and two family construction with some new commercial
and multi-family information.

In an effort to ensure compliance with state and local laws, this form will be made a part of the file
for the job permitted. Your acknowledgment of the following laws is requested prior to the
issuance of the permit.
In accordance with the exemption statutory defined by Florida Statute 489.103(7):
Owners of property when acting as their own contractor and providing all material supervision themselves, when building or improving farm
outbuildings or one-family or two-family residences on such property for the occupancy or use of such owners and not offered for sale. In an action
brought under this part act,proof of the sale or lease,or offering for sale or lease,of more than one such structure by the owner-builder within one
year after completion of same is prima facie presumptive evidence that the construction was undertaken for purposes of sale or lease. This subsection
does not exempt any person who is employed by such owner and who acts in the capacity of a contractor. To qualify for exemption under this
subsection,an owner must personally appear and sign the building permit application. The local permitting agency shall provide the person with a
disclosure statement in substantially the following form:
Disclosure Statement:
State law and Collier County Ordinance amending the state statute requires construction to be done by licensed contractors. You have applied for a
permit under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you,as the owner of your property,to act as your own contractor even though you do
not have a license. You must supervise the construction yourself. You may build or improve a one-family or two-family residence or a farm
outbuilding. The building must be for your own use and occupancy. It may not be built for sale or lease. If you sell or lease more than one building
you have built yourself within one year after the construction is complete,the law will presume that you built it for sale or lease,which is a violation of
this exemption.You may not hire an unlicensed person as your contractor. Your construction must be done according to building codes and zoning
regulations. It is your responsibility to make sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal
licensing ordinances.
Current Collier County Ordinance requires:
Receipt of an application for more than (1) one owner-builder permit for construction, excluding improvements less than 50%of the value of
existing structure, of a single family or duplex home in any three year period is prima facie evidence of violation of this Ordinance by the
applicant.
You are hereby put on notice that you are responsible for supervising all work performed on the
project. All subcontractors hired must hold valid Occupational License and Certificate of
Competency Cards required by law. (This may be verified by the Collier County Licensing
Department 643-8431.)

RE: Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board
Dear Mr. Hodgin:
While convened in regular session on February 15, 1994 , the Board of
County Commissioners voted to appoint you as a regular member on the
above-referenced advisory committee. Your appointment will expire
on September 30, 1994, or at such time as the Board reappoints you
or appoints your successor.
As with any advisory group, the primary purpose is to assist and
advise the Board of County Commissioners. By law, however, the
ultimate decisions rest with the Commission. At times, the
Commission's decisions may not reflect the recommendation of the
advisory group because many facts must be taken into consideration.
By copy of this letter, we are requesting Bill Lorenz , to provide
you with any additional information you will need as a member of
this committee.
On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, I wish to extend our
appreciation to you for your willingness to serve the residents of

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Lorenz, P. E.
Environmental Services Administrator
FROM: imberly J. Polen
Environmental Specialist
DATE: February 16th, 1994
SUBJECT: Comments on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
General Permit (SAJ-48) for Fill in Golden Gate
Estates
The Board of County Commissioners has requested information
regarding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) proposal to
reissue the general permit for the placement of fill material
for the construction of residential housepads, driveways,
septic tanks and drain fields in wetlands within Golden Gate
Estates (GGE) north of Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley) . The
general permit would affect 81 units in GGE either in part or
entirely. After reviewing SAJ-48, staff offers the following
information:
WETLAND REGULATION
When wetland destruction is proposed the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) and ACOE, administered
through a joint dredge and fill permitting process, have
regulatory authority over wetlands. The ACOE regulates both
contiguous and isolated wetlands, whereas FDEP only regulates
contiguous wetlands, those "connected to the state of Florida
waters" . The county does not assert wetland jurisdiction in
GGE. All single-family lots are specifically exempted from
any wetland review by the county.
The statutory intent of the ACOE wetland regulatory program
is to administer the Dredge and Fill program and recommend to
the applicant that he/she avoid wetlands, minimize impacts
and if both of these have occured to compensate for loss of
wetland function.
The term "general permit" means an ACOE authorization that
is issued on a nationwide basis for a category or categories
of activities when
1. Those activities are substantially similar in nature and
cause only minimal individual and cumulative environmental
impacts; or
-1-
2 . The general permit would result in avoiding unnecessary
duplication of the regulatory control exercised by another
federal, state, or local agency provided it has been
determined that the environmental consequences of
the action are individually and cumulatively minimal.
GENERAL PERMIT
When the General Permit was first proposed for GGE in 1983 ,
the Conservancy of Naples, Inc. convinced the ACOE to wait
until the ACOE study (GGE Feasibility Report) , which was just
beginning, was completed before issuing the Public Notice.
The ACOE study results were released in 1986. The ACOE
concluded that. . . [there was a] deterimental effect. . . [caused
by the overdrainage and too rapid] canal discharge on the
Fahka Union Bay.
On July 1st, 1988 a meeting was held to address the first
proposals contained in SAJ-48 . Representatives from the
Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency
were present and the consensus was that the maximum filled
area to be authorized should be no larger than 8000 square
feet. This was felt to be adequate to construct an average
sized home with a building pad, septic tank and drain field,
and a driveway/turning pad, as per ACOE stipulations in
SAJ-48 .
It was also recommended by the participants at the July 1st
meeting that certain units in GGE, particularly those heavily
forested strands and associated wetlands in the southeast
corner of the north portion of GGE east of Everglades
Boulevard (Units 85, 86, 89, 90, 91 and 92) , in the vicinity
of the old Horsepen Strand (Units 36, 38, 42) , and the old
Winchester Strand, in the northeast portion east of Corkscrew
Island Community (Units 70, 75) , be exempt from the General
Permit. Future fill activities in these units would require
an Individual Permit owing to wetlands on site and their
environmental sensitivity.
In addition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommended
that Units 193 , 194 and 195, located in the lower southwest
corner of GGE adjacent to the Belle Meade area be exempt from
the General Permit because of red cockaded woodpecker nesting
activity in pine trees in these units.
On October 12th, 1988 , the Jacksonville District issued
General Permit SAJ-48 to place fill material for the
construction of residential housepads, driveways, septic
tanks and drain fields in wetlands within the GGE north of
Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley) .
-2-
GENERAL PERMIT CONDITIONS
1. The Permit applies only to building pads for single
family or duplex dwellings and their appurenant
structures, including driveways, septic tanks, and drain
fields.
2 . No more than 8 , 000 square feet of wetlands per lot per
each dwelling is authorized to be filled/excavated or
impacted. Site plans are required.
3 . Due to ecological value of wetlands in the following
areas, the General Permit does not apply to wetlands in
units 36, 38, 42 , 70, 75, 85, 86, 89, 90, 91, 92 , 193 ,
194 , 195, and those units south of Interstate 75
(Alligator Alley) . * (See Figure 1)
* NOTE: The property owners whose property contains isolated
wetlands and do not qualify for the General Permit are
required to obtain a USACOE Permit prior to the placing of
any fill material on these isolated wetlands.
EXPIRATION OF THE GENERAL PERMIT
General Permit SAJ-48 expired on October 12 , 1993 .
PROPOSAL TO REISSSUE THE GENERAL PERMIT
On January 4th, 1994 the Jacksonville District announced
that the ACOE proposes to reissue the General Permit under
the same number, SAJ-48 .
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THOSE UNITS TO WHICH THE GENERAL PERMIT
APPLIES
The Jacksonville District proposes to include units 193 ,
194, and 195 in the General Permit, since none of the permit
applications reviewed in the recent past years have had an
effect on habitat used by the endangered Red cockaded
woodpecker, However, the USCOE proposes to exclude unit 78
from the General Permit due to the presence of habitat used
by the red cockaded woodpecker.
The USCOE proposes to exclude units 52 and 53 due to the
ecological value of the wetlands in these units.
OTHER PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SAJ-48 PERMIT
The Jacksonville District proposes to increase the amount of
fill authorized from 8, 000 square feet to one (1) acre per
site. Additionally, the Jacksonville District proposes that
no site plans be required for this permit.
-3-
EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING GENERAL PERMIT
The Jacksonville District will extend the current General
Permit SAJ-48 for a six (6) month time frame until 12 April
1994 . The purpose of this time extension is to allow the
Jacksonville District time to review the comments received as
a result of their public notice.
IMPACT OF PROCEDURAL CHANGES FOR COLLIER COUNTY
The ACOE has received several written objections to the
proposed amended re-issuance of General Permit SAJ-48. Both
the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service have apparently filed Memorandums of
Agreement objections to the proposed charges. Although the
specifics of their objections are unknown, they most likely
relate to environmental and wildlife impacts to the red
cockaded woodpecker and wetland systems. Past experience has
shown that the ACOE has not acted on proposed permit changes
when objections at this level have been filed. Personal
communication with ACOE staff suggests that the amendment is
unlikely to be adopted due to those objections.
ACOE staff has suggested a permitting agreement with Collier
County under which the County would issue a building permit
which would allow the filling of 20% of the lot or 1 acre,
whichever is less. This building permit would also serve as
the ACOE dredge and fill permit. This permitting agreement
would be negotiated between the ACOE and Collier County and
would identify the units involved. This would reduce the
permitting time involved for single-family home construction.
Should the General Permit not be extended, Collier County
would not be able to issue building permits without prior
approval of the ACOE. Obtaining an individual fill permit
through the ACOE may take from 3 to 6 months. This
represents a significant increase over the current typical
local Collier County review time of 5-10 working days.
It is staff's opinion that failure by the County to take a
position on the General Permit Extension could be perceived
as having no interest in extending the General Permit as
existing or proposed. Given the potential impacts on
hundreds of residents annually who construct homes in this
area, staff believes it to be in the County's interest to, at
a minimum, retain the General Permit, or, preferably, be
delegated limited permitting authority by the ACOE.
IMPACT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR COLLIER COUNTY
There is no data appended to SAJ-48 which shows that the
cumulative impacts would necessarily be minimal. Indeed,
given the large number of 1. 14 acre lots (75 X 660 ft. or
49, 658 sq. ft. ) presently platted and privately owned in GGE,
the emplacement of fill on up to 1 acre of wetlands on such a
lot would result in 88% of the lot being filled/cleared.
-4-
Lots in GGE are platted primarily as 75, 100, 150, 165,
180, 330 front feet against a standard depth of 660 feet. It
is thus possible for any given five-acre portion to have been
subdivided into four 1. 14 acre parcels. Filling each 1 . 14
acre lot to the maximum of 1 acre would result in an average
of 1/3 of every unit (±165 acres out of +500 acres) being
impacted. The cumulative impacts of such filling in
sheetflow wetlands should be properly addressed before the
permit is issued.
Major strand systems extending form Lake Trafford and
running north-south through GGE include the Camp Keasis
Strand, Winchester Strand, Lucky Strand and Stumpy Strand
connect south of Interstate 75 to the Picayune Strand and
form a numerous large, mature broadleaf hardwoods and
associated water-tolerant understory vegetation. This
ecosystem functions as a critical ecological corridor for
hundreds of native plant and animal species. The combined
strands also delineate a major and critical surficial and
subsurficial water flowway from the north into the south part
of Collier County. The clearing for fill on minimum 1. 14
acre lots in these strands would be substantial.
Based on an April 1st, 1993 population estimate prepared by
the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business
Research, 6,480 people reside in the Urban Estates (GGE area)
today. Between the years 2019 and 2046 approximately 100, 000
people are projected to reside in the Urban Estates according
to the Urban Area Buildout Study which has been prepared by
the Collier County Long Range Planning Department. Over the
past three years in the Urban Estates an average sized home
is +2550 sq. ft. , an average sized septic tank/drain field is
+3000 sq. ft. , and an average sized driveway/turning pad
varies from +1500 to +3000 sq. ft. On lots larger than 1
acre with at least a 105-foot frontage or greater, the lot
owner may construct a guest house no larger than 40% of the
air conditioned, enclosed living area of the principal
dwelling (single-family home) , which has to have a minimum
floor area of 1000 sq. ft. According to the Collier County
Land Development Code a vegetation removal permit for
clearing one (1) acre or less of land is not required for the
removal of protected vegetation, other than a specimen tree
on a parcel of land within Golden Gate Estates, where the
following conditions have been met:
1. A building permit has been issued for the permitted
principal structure (the building permit serves as the
clearing permit) , or
2 . The permitted principal structure has been constructed,
and the property owner or authorized agent is conducting
the removal.
As development proceeds the impacts from septic tanks and
private wells in conjunction with land-filling will increase.
These factors should be addressed in any issuance of a
general permit.

in Collier County, Florida.
Dear Colonel Selt
The above referenced public notice proposes to reissue and
.J modify General Permit SAJ-48 (GP) . This permit was issued in
em October 1988 to allow placement of fill material for the
construction of residential housepads, driveways, septic tanks,
and drain fields in wetlands within the corporate limits of
Golden Gate Estates north of S.R 84 (Alligator Alley) . The GP
expired on October 12 , 1993 . Golden Gate Estates is a platted
residential area cccupying approximately 173 square miles east of
=d=` Naples in the western portion of the Big Cypress Swamp Basin in
Collier County, Florida. Historically, the area was a wetland
system. Now the entire area is crisscrossed with an extensive
drainage system that has lowered the groundwater table by 3 to 4
feet. Most of the lots are in private ownership. The property
owners whose property contains isolated wetlands and do not
qualify for the GP are required to obtain a Department of Army
permit prior to the placing of any fill material on these
isolated wetlands.
a
The Jacksonville District proposes to include units 193,
194 , and 195 in the GP since none of the permit applications
reviewed in recent years have had an effect on the Red Cockaded
a Woodpecker, and. will exclude unit 78 due to the presence of the
species . Units 52 and 53 will be excluded from the GI? due to the
ecological value of the wetlands in these units . Further, the
amount of fill authorized in the GP will be increased from 8, 000
Yt square feet to one ( 1 ) acre per site. Additionally, the District
proposes that ne_eite plans would be required for the GP. The
current GP will be extended for six months to allow public review
= of the proposed changes . The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has reviewedthe above referenced public notice and offers
the following comments.

VISION
TO MAKE COLLIER COUNTY A PREMIER PLACE TO
LIVE WITH THE MOST EFFICIENTLY RUN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IN FLORIDA.
GOALS
1 . MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
RESIDENTS OF COLLIER COUNTY BY DEVELOPING
QUANTITATIVE MEASURING METHODS OF OUR
QUALITY OF LIFE.
2. INCREASE OUR INDUSTRIAUCOMMERCIAL
ECONOMIC BASE IN COLLIER COUNTY 40% IN THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS.
3. MAINTAIN AGRICULTURE AS A BASIC ECONOMIC
INDUSTRY FOR COLLIER COUNTY.
• 4. INCREASE TOURISM BY 50% IN THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS.
5. ESTABLISH QUARTERLY ROUND TABLE
DISCUSSIONS INVOLVING ALL POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS OF COLLIER COUNTY.
6.
MAJOR ISSUES FACING THE COUNTY
1. Streamlining Government (and resulting budget savings) :
Corporate America is cutting the fat and trimming middle
management. Local government should follow suit.
2 . County Roadway System:
What levels of service are really necessary? How do we pay for
projected needs? Are new corridors really necessary?
3 . Environmental Issues:
In the past, -mankind has ignored the environment. In an effort
to correct the errors of the past, has the pendulum swung too
far? Are human needs now ignored in an effort to save another
acre, and another, and another?
4 . The County's Solid Waste:
How do we maintain our low cost to the consumer, yet provide a
safe, effective, environmentally secure method of disposal?
EXPECTATIONS
Commission must work as a team. . .work toward common goals - take
heat as a team and take praise as a team. Obviously, we may have
five different opinions, but if one best serves the public, we need
to lose the individual pride of authorship, to lose the urge to put
in our own two cents when it serves little purpose.
In the Fall, and again lately, we have seen 5 individuals with
personal agendas rather than a team working for common good. Useless
bickering or pointless after-the-fact comments serve no purpose other
than to stunt the system.
Individual Commissioners need to respect the majority decision.
Frequently, attempts are made by a dissenting party to rehash a
previously defeated or passed issue, with no new facts to provide.
It wastes time and frustrates the public and other Commissioners
alike.

Mr . Neil Dorrill , County Manager

Naples , Fl . 33962
Dear Sir :
In response to Section Nine , Collier County Ordinance 92-44 , I am
hereby providing my report on the Collier County Environmental Policy
and Technical Advisory Board, as required.
1 . Whether the Board is serving the purpose for which was
created.
In response to Growth Management Plan Sections ,
Collier County Ordinance 91-26 created EPTAB and its
mission. We have strived to follow our governing
ordinance, in deciding what to focus on, in our twice
monthly meetings . This has necessitated most of our
work being the development of regulations called for in
the plan.
2 . Whether the Board is adequately serving current
community needs .
EPTAB is serving the community needs by following its
mandate and listening to input from the community on all
environmental subjects . After discussion and research,
EPTAB then provides advisory information to the Board of
Collier County Commissioners , as is warranted.
3 . List of the Board ' s major accomplishments for the preceding
twelve month period.
A. Draft Habitat Protection Ordinance.
B. Natural Resource Protection Area Workshop and follow
up advisory information.
C. Sand Dollar Island recommendation.

4 . Whether this is any other Board or agency, either public
or private , which is serving, or would better serve,
the purpose for which the Board was created.
Not to my knowledge.
5. Whether the ordinance creating the Board should be
amended to allow the Board to more adequately serve
the purpose for which it was created.
No .
6 . Whether the Board ' s membership requirements should be
modified.
The current membership requirements seem to provide a
good cross-section of expertise and a balanced Board.
7 . The cost , both direct and indirect , of maintaining the
Board.
According to information provided me by the Collier
County Natural Resources Department , the costs are
estimated as follows :
DIRECT - $175. 00 for estimated postage.
INDIRECT - $6 , 600.00 for 400 hours of Administrative
and Natural Resources staff time.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance or answer any
questions about my report . I request that I be notified as to when
this report will be presented to the Board of Collier County
Commissioners , so that I may attend the meeting.
Yours truly,
Michael A. Davis , Chairman
Collier County Environmental Policy
and Technical Advisory Board

Page 2 of DIEM
the subcommittee chairperson, Gary, also Faked a copy of the
subcommittee memo to the county NRD and notified the EPTAB
that he might be late to the EPTRB's afternoon meeting as he
was a witness in a FOEP administrative hearing being held in Fort
Myers, riorida.

g phonehat D
messages and received one from BM Lorenz

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sue Filson, Administrative Assistant
FROM: William D. Lorenz Jr. , P. E. , Administrator
DATE: 28-Jan-1994
SUBJECT: EPTAB Vacancy
Attached is a summary of expertise areas for the three applicants
for the current EPTAB vacancy. Both Jon C. Staiger and Derek
Hodgin are well qualified for the position. Although Dr. Staiger
has been previously rejected by the Board, he still has a broad
technical background that will benefit EPTAB. He was also a
previous member of the Ground Water Protection Ad-Hoc Advisory
Committee and provided valuable contributions to the development
of the Ground Water Protection Ordinance. I therefore recommend
Dr. Jon Staiger for appointment.

Petitioners response:
The 6PS1W-49, as proposed, addresses only residential lay related
structures although in fact Goldeneodere usesaEstates is
to

Agricultruel Distict with only secondary

elevating residential use over that of agriculturecontrary
to

3. One Department of the USCOE is currently in t heh co ess wioeport Its
f
conducting a south Florida Restoration Study
findings in November of this year.
The science sub-committee report identified North Golden

as
one area that will receive fes a minimiuml) hyd P
and also consideration for limited habitat restoration".

Pe iti vers ig ponse:
it is inappropriate, at this time, to propose revisions to the GPM-
48 until! the USCOE South Florida Restoration Study is released and
its findings and recommendations be incorporated in the 1988
issued GPSRJ-48 and any prr¢posed update.
It seems counter productive to us that one "branch" of the USCBE is
proposing hydroperiod restoration In North Golden Gate Estates and
another "branch" is proposing a flue-fold increase in wetland
destruction in the Estates!
4. The GPSRJ-46, as proposed, would result ion a five-fold increase in
the wetland destruction in North Golden Gate Estates and would, in
our opinion. directly decrease the amount of aquifer recharge,
water quality. timing of release of water and biological
productivity.
5. The area of North Golden Gate is within the boundary of the Big
Cypress Swamp and is "hydrologically, biologically and ecologically
directly connected to the area of Collier designated by the State as
the first Area at Critical State Concern (Big Cypress It of S. C. C3.
It is not appropriate, at this time at least, to further degrade the
resource value of North Golden Gate Estates,
6. The habitat value found within the North Golden Gat eEstates has
been identified by the Florida Game and Fresh
Commission Staff as "of a higher quality to both ate blackEstates8ar r and
the Florida panther than areas of South Golden 1'
We contend that the proposed modifications to thef� GPSRJ-48 would
further degrade the habitat values of essential y
requirements of these two important species.
Rage 3 of SEVEN
J'Ahl-2E -94 WED 9 :53
P. 05
7. The biological plant community know as the hydric pine flatwood
has been identified as critical to the federally and state listed Red-
cockaded Woodpeckeer. The GPSRJ-48, as proposed, would further
degrade and threaten the essential life history requirements of the
RCW in Collier County by unnessarily destroying areas of the hydric
pine flatwood over which the USCOE asserts wetland ,Jurisdiction.
8. The area know as North Golden Gate Estates has been included on a
list of potential Natural Resource Protection Areas by the
Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Committee, a Board of
Commission appointed committee which advises the Commissions
on environmental matters.
9. The 6PSAJ-48 proposed changes would, when viewed u cumulatively,
negatively affect the publics interest since
back
in
olden
Gate Estates was placed, in perpetuity, under an environmentally
sensitive classification for the good of the publics health, welface
and safety`

the Department of Community Affairs, as anH.bR 48 f C Criticald bState

The GPSAJ--48, es proposed would seriously increase the risk local
residents have to fires commonly occuring in North Golden Gate
Estates.
12. The GPSAJ-48 Was released without the appropriate, end required
by the 1988 conditions, eueluetion and review of the existing
program. The 1988 GPSAJ-48 stated that "reviews will be
conducted to determine if continuation of this permit is in the
general interest of the public".
Not only did the USCOE not actively review any development within
the area covered by the 1988 issused GPSAJ-48, but they did not
even receive any submittals for development requests. in
summary the program did not work from its inception in 1988 and
the USCOE did nothing to inforce the general and specific conditions
of the permit.
13. That the only stated reason for developing the new propoSed
reuisions, In personal conversations, was to "match Collier's
allowance that one acre of native vegetation could be cleared
under receipt of en approved building permit since the "agency
(USCOE1 does not have adequate staff to administer the GPSA4J-48
as issued in 1988".
We believe that the USCOE is mandated by enabling rules to
adequately protect wetlands over which it asserts 404 jurisdiction.
The proposed changes just make it easier to destroy wetlands in
Collier county end make it easier for the USCOE to "escape it
responsibility",
14. The USCOE is required to review proposed destruction of its
jurisdictional wetlands under three criteria which generally are
Page 5 of SEPEN
J '104-26- 704 WED 9 : 55 P . 07
avoidance of the proposed wetland impacts, minimization of the
proposed wetland impacts and then, if the applicant has been
determined to meet these two requirements to consider mitigation
for proposed wetland impacts.
The GPSRJ-48, as proposed does nothing to induce the applicant to
avoid, where possible, wetland impacts, to minimize. where possible,
wetland impacts..
Our eHperience, actively engaged in wetland permitting in North
Golden Gate Estates, i, e., the 14 units not covered by the GPSRJ-48, is
that an applicant, when informed that slight changes in the plot plan
would eliminate all wetland impact, readily accept, these design
modification,
The GPSRJ-48, as proposed, completely eliminates any review and
imput by the USCOE and allows a flue-fold increase in wetland
destruction. This recommended change is from 8,000 square feet of
wetland destruction with each lot to 43,560 seq. ft
In certain wetland areas of North Golden Gate Estates the proposed
changes in GPSRJ-48 would result In 320 acres of wetland destruction
for each 640 acres (a square mile - a Golden Gate Unit) of area.
Wesimmuliktsbove stgteinents end reasa e
respectfuliy1ebuest the following:
I. That the Public Notice, as currentlg propose, be
withdrawn and the 6PSRJ-4e, as instituted In 1911Or be
reinstated until the USCOE 'South Florida Restoration

released and considered bg Congress end local officals.

its inception.
We also request that we be allowed to submit, et a later time,
relevant documents, reports and studies which support our petition
request. We also request that we be allowed to present, for
testimony, certain witnesses, also to support our case.
We respectfully thank you for your consideration of the serious
concerns we have raised in this request for a Public Hearing on the
proposed changes to GPSAJ-48. We also request that you notify us of
your decision when appropriate.
it is our understanding that if you agree with our request that the
public hearing would be held within Collier County, this to allow full

Dear Commissioners:
With this letter I wish to formally apply for the vacant
position on the Environmental Policy and Technical Advisory Board.
I am a permanent Collier County resident who is very interested in
the careful consideration of all the kinds of issues which come
before EPTAB. My professional training is in the business of the
arts, but I have spent considerable time studying various aspects
of communities in their environments. This includes coursework in
Constitutional law, environmental biology, and statistics, plus
personal research into many facets of solid waste management.
Locally, I have had a regular relationship with the County's
Environmental Services staff, in particular personnel in the Solid
Waste Department, and some in the Natural Resources Department.
Therefore, I feel familiar with how some of the County's
environmental policies are implemented_ Since November, 1992 I
have been active with the Collier County Citizens' Committee on
Recycling, working especially to help the county meet its state
mandated recycling goals.
I am confident that I would offer an informed and balanced
perspective to the deliberations of EPTAB, and I would be happy to
help serve my community. Thank you for considering my application
for appointment to the Environmental Policy and Technical Advisory
Board. Please find my current resume enclosed.
Sincerely,

Present Responsibilities :
As Natural Resources Manager for the City of Naples, my
responsibilities include advising the City Manager, Mayor and
Council Members, and Planning Advisory Board on a broad range of
environmental issues, and providing advice, assistance, and
regulatory interpretations to various City departments, including
Community Development, Community Services, Engineering, Utilities,
and Fire . In addition, I am responsible for drafting environmental
protection ordinances and for permitting and regulating coastal
construction and dredge and fill projects (including works in
natural and man-made waterways and stormwater retention lakes) ,
beach management and restoration, and the management of the City
waterways . I also assist the Fire Department whenever there is a
hazardous materials incident .
The City has two special taxing districts dedicated to
waterways maintenance, the Moorings Bay and East Naples Bay STD' s.
I function as administrator for both Districts, as staff their two
Council-appointed advisory committees.
I am also the administrator of the Bay Management
Organization, an intergovernmental board of concerned citizens.
The BMO is charged with developing and facilitating the
implementation of programs to reduce pollutant input into Naples
Bay, to restore its shoreline habitat where feasible, and to
improve the water quality to Class II standards . One of the major
contributors to the pollution of Naples Bay is uncontrolled storm
water runoff . I share responsibility with the City' s Engineering
Manager for development and implementation of our storm water
management master plan, being developed under our Storm Water
Utility.
In 1988 the City drafted a new Comprehensive Plan. I was
responsible for writing a major part of the combined Conservation
and Coastal Management Element of that plan, and I effectively
explained and defended it through a series of marathon public
hearings . Subsequent to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, I
have worked in close cooperation with the Planning Division to
assemble the existing zoning, building, and environmental
protection ordinances, along with new regulations required by the
Plan, into a Comprehensive Development Code. The new sections I
have written include marina siting criteria, requirements for a
Development of Significant Environmental Impact assessment, and
simplifications to both the coastal construction and dredge and
fill permitting processes . I am presently writinc a wetland and
xeric upland vegetation protection ordinance, another regulating
the sprawl of boat mooring facilities in residential waterways, and
a third protecting the City' s coastal ridge wellfield.
I have also been quite active in cooperative endeavors with
the Collier County government . Along with the Community Services
Jon Crawford Staiger, Ph.D. : Resume Page 3
Director and a Councilman, I served on the County commission' s ad
hoc Committee on Beach Restoration, which was involved in the
initial planning for the $15 million restoration of nine miles of
City and County beaches . I am presently Technical Advisor,
Administrator, and Secretary for the Beach Restoration/Maintenance
Committee, which serves a liaison and advisory function for the
Board of County Commissioners and the consulting firm that is
working to implement the beach restoration project . I also served
on the County' s Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, which
helped develop a county-wide solid waste management master plan,
and I was Chairman of the Ground Water Protection Technical
Advisory Committee from its initial appointment in 1987 to the
completion of its work in 1991 . This latter committee worked
closely with City, County, and Water Management District personnel
to draft two ordinances, one addressing well contractors and
construction, and the second, wellfield and aquifer protection. In
addition, I have routinely assisted County staff in reviewing and
evaluating various work statements and work products dealing with
inlet management plans, drainage basin management plans, and
natural resource protection plans.
Past Experience:
As Director of Operations at Enviropact, Inc. , I was
responsible for project management, including program design,
implementation, data interpretation, and report preparation. At
any given time the number of active projects ranged from 35 to 50 .
Their scopes ranged from simply arranging for the transportation
and disposal of a few drums of hazardous wastes to planning and
carrying out Remedial Action Investigations and managing the
resultant Remedial Action Programs. The tasks that were
coordinated included soil boring and monitoring well installations,
laboratory analyses, soil excavations, structure decontamination or
demolition, ground water and/or surface water treatment, disposal
of contaminated wastes, and liaison with clients, their
counsellors, and the regulatory agencies .
As Senior Biologist at Applied Eco-Tech Services, I was
involved in management and also heavily dedicated to marketing the
environmental consulting and laboratory analysis services to both
industry and government agencies, through both program design and
proposal preparation. I was also responsible for field
implementation, data analysis, and report preparation for a wide
variety of projects and I served as an expert witness for testimony
concerning marine and aquatic biology and ecology and water
quality.
The following summaries show the range of projects for which
I served as Principal Consultant or Manager before shifting to
hazardous materials-related work:
•
Sharon Steel Company - a study of the ecology of the Shenango River
Jon Crawford Staiger, Ph.D. : Resume Page 4
(Pennsylvania) and the effects of steel mill effluents on the
chemistry of the water and sediments and on the histopathology of
the macrofauna.
Colorado School of Mines Research Institute - a biological and
physical oceanographic study of the eastern Gulf of Chiriqui,
Panama, in relation to the potential disposal of tailings and
wastewater from a copper mining and smelting operation.
Bankers Land Company - a study of water and sediment chemistry and
infaunal ecology before, during, and after extensive modification,
enlargement, and revegetation of two man-made estuarine canal
systems in Palm Beach County, Florida.
International Energies, Inc. - an environmental impact assessment
for an aquaculture facility and an adjacent marina resort
development in a fallow coconut plantation and mangrove estuary on
the northeast coast of Puerto Rico.
Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - a study of
the tidal currents, tides, and hydrography in the St . Lucie
Estuary, Martin County, Florida.
Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - a study of
the tides and tidal currents in Sarasota Harbor and Big Sarasota
Pass, Florida.
Pacific Ocean Division, Honolulu District, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers - a study of the hydrography, ocean current circulation,
and bacteriology of the nearshore waters of Johnston Island
(Johnston Atoll) in relation to the ongoing and projected discharge
of raw sewage from an ocean outfall.
As Executive Director of the Ocean Learning Institute, I had
a variety of responsibilities beyond routine management and daily
operations. I was responsible for the environmental research and
monitoring projects conducted for several large real estate
developments, including coordinating and conducting the field
sampling, data interpretation, and report preparation. This effort
produced more than 100 reports, totalling nearly 800 pages, on the
monthly and quarterly sampling between June 1979 and February 1983 .
I was also responsible for planning, coordinating, and conducting
the marine geology and marine ecology field trips that the
Institute ran for the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium in
the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. In addition, I was involved in
fund raising activities, including proposal preparation and
presentation to philanthropic individuals and organizations . I
also represented the Institute in various public forums, including
university-sponsored workshops and on radio and television
programs, and I worked closely with the archi sects and engineers in
planning a marine technology and science center.
Jon Crawford Staiger, Ph.D. : Resume Page 5
My major employment responsibility at the University of Miami,
from 1965 to 1976, was coordinating and conducting research vessel
cruises for a succession of large biological oceanographic
projects . In addition to planning the cruises, I handled all
aspects of logistic support for the projects, including equipment
design and construction, longshore activities, and shipboard
operations .
My primary research interest at the University of Miami was
the ecology of marine fishes, particularly the quantitative
analysis of benthic fish community structure . Secondarily, I have
done research on the systematics of several groups of deep-sea
fishes . Most of this research was carried out in support of the
biological oceanographic projects for which I bore the
responsibility for the success of the field work. My research and
field activities in 1977 and 1978 were of a similar, but applied,
nature, in support of the Bureau of Land Management Outer
Continental Shelf South Atlantic Benchmark Program.
In addition to my research and field responsibilities, I was
involved in planning and design of the R/V COLUMBUS ISELIN, a 170-
foot stern trawler, and the R/V CAPE FLORIDA, a 125-foot coastal
zone research vessel .

Re: Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board
Dear Commissioner Constantine:
Recently, Larry Richardson regrettably resigned from EPTAB. We have
been advised that Dr. John Staiger is still interested in becoming a
member . Previously, County staff had recommended he be appointed to
fill a prior vacancy. Because many of us know John and have come to
respect him for his work, the EPTAB has unanimously requested that you
consider him, once again, when the appointment comes before you
because, not only does he have a similar background to Mr. Richardson,
we believe he would be an asset to our Board.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours,

r EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO ADDRESS ISSUES RELATING TO A MABITAT PROTECTION ORDINANCE
(HPO) AND THE NATURAL RESOURCES PROTECTION AREAS PROGRAM (NRPA) .
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) provide
staff with direction on how to proceed with a revised HPO and
provide guidance for the preparation of an LDC Amendment setting
up a Natural Resource Protection Area Program.
1. Fran Stallings (732-2505) of the County's Natural Resources
Department is the project manager for these proposed
regulations.
2 . The purpose of these regulations and land use programs is to
protect sensitive habitats and relatively pristine natural
systems from wholesale development.
3 . The regulations are proposed in response to the County's
Growth Management Plan which requires the County to develop a
NRPA program by August 1994 (CCME Objective 1 . 3) and to
identify, define and prepare development standards and
criteria for all important native County habitats by August
1992 (Objective 6. 1) .
4 . An alternative to the proposed regulations is to amend the
Growth Management Plan.
i
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 16, 1993 the BCC directed staff to
"continue to develop the Natural Resource Protection Areas
(NRPA's) ; continue to look at the Habitat Protection Ordinance to
determine ways that may be more effective, and to determine how
it will interplay with the NRPA' s and bring both back
simultaneously".
On December 7, 1993 the BCC held a public workshop where the HPO "�
and NRPA concepts were discussed and public input received. I,
�� Staff was directed to provide a list of potential NRPA's, a :� `
technical justification of each, and an estimate of staff time --
required toprocess a NRPA. This information is provided as ,;,,�
Attachments -4 . The BCC agreed to continue the review of these Y
issues as lar agenda item at a Tuesday Board meeting in
late January. L 4 '�'``

Objective 6.1 of the Growth Management Plan (CCME) requires the
County to identify, define, and prepare development standards
criteria for all important native habitats. The COME requires
the County to develop a NRPA Program by August 1, 1994 . The
4,11 1 8 94 '
PL -1= i
-1-
policies require the identification of NRPAs in map form as an
overlay to the Future Land Use Plan Map and identify development
guidelines and standards within the designated NRPAs.
In order to meet these COME mandates the HPO has been proposed to
apply primarily in the more developed portions of the County at
the time when development occurs. The NRPA Program is focused
more on the less developed portions of the County and is designed
to occur prior to development and in areas where little or no
development is anticipated. As explained above the two
approaches are complementary and together are designed to satisfy
the CCME goals. Additional complementarity has been designed
into the system in that the HPO allows off-site mitigation and
the NRPA's are designated as official mitigation sites. Thus the
two programs work together to both allow further development and
at the same time contribute towards the preservation and
enhancement of areas of important natural habitat.
Each NRPA may have a variety of protection mechanisms ranging
from voluntary, to incentive, to new regulations, to acquisition.
The HPO provides a mechanism whereby a developer may choose to
develop the entire site and perform off-site mitigation in a
Natural Resource Protection Area. Additionally the HPO
incorporates a process for ranking various habitats in priority
order based on rarity and the presence of endangered/threatened
species.
Upland habitat protection is not strictly regulated by other
agencies. The HPO would complement state efforts for protecting
endangered species. Development permits are usually issued
without an evaluation of cumulative impacts to large natural
systems. The NRPA program would provide mechanisms to protect
the ecological integrity of large natural systems.
OPERATIONAL IMPACTS: The process to implement the HPO is the
same process that is now followed for land development projects.
The HPO would provide additional standards used to select the
most valuable habitat for preservation in a conservation easement
or to set up off-site mitigation.
NRPAs would be identified on the Future Land Use Map and would
have protection policies specific to each NRPA. These areas
could also be identified as ST overlays having specific criteria
identified in the Land Development Code.
Development Services Department would implement these
requirements as part of normal project reviews. The HPO would
require an estimated additional 5% of EIS preparation effort by
the applicant. There should not be any appreciable increase in
staff processing time for projects subject to the HPO that have
-

off-site or development right purchase mechanises . Each NRPA
could incorporate different mechanisms which would be identified
when the NRPA itself is presented for adoption.
rI8CAL IMPACT; The fiscal impacts are dependent upon each
specific NRPA and upon the wording of an HPO that___might__h�e
adopted by the BCC. The designation an alread protected area 4...,..
such as Rookery Bay as a NRPA would require the preps ation-of -a
resolution representing about X50 hours, of staff time for a cost
of approximately $1, 500. In the--case of an area such as Clam
Bay, where the County holds a conservation easement, an
appropriate action, should this area be declared a NRPA, would be
to develop a management plan that would address issues such as
water quality, keeping the pass open, and the mangrove die off at
the north end. The development of such a plan could be expected
to require about 200 hours at a cost of $5, 900. Designation of
these NRPA's would not result in any loss of tax revenues or
require any land purchases. Another potential scenario would
occur when a large area, that is not already protected and
delineated, such as the Camp Keais Strand or the Okaloachoochee
Slough is designated as a NRPA. In this case it would be
necessary to delineate boundaries, evaluate the land according to
its ecological character, hold public me t.ings, cl--
--anaddress-otha�
ppri priate__-tasks. ) To accom`plis these tasks would require' '
approximately 1, 000 hours and could-be expe-ted--to cost—ab6ut
S'TO OO--for-stafV time. This type NRPA would likely result in a
loss of tax revenue due to land acquisition. For example lands
in the Camp Keais area were taxed in 1992 at $9.70/acre average.
The range was $.67/acre to $22 . 86 acre. The purchase of
development rights for active farms has been estimated to cost
$800-$8, 000/acre. These costs may not be realistic because in
this area there has never been a market for development rights.
The total cost would depend on the specific land affected.
At this time there is not anything in the HPO or NRPA Programs
under consideration that would be expected to cause any
significant increase in costs to a property owner. It is
estimated that the additional effort to provide the information
will usually not require more than a five percent additional work
effort. Typical fees are as follows: Attorney fees, Conservation
easement $300 - 500; Survey costs $60 - 80 hr. ; Recording fee
$15.70 (3 pages) .
It should be kept in mind that no specific wording has been
approved for the HPO or NRPA Program at this time. Any lands I
directed into public ownership potentially would no longer
produce tax revenues. However, the transfer of property into
public ownership would occur as a result of development
elsewhere. The increase in property value of developed areas
could be expected to off-set many times over any loss in revenue

,A189u

from lands going into public ownership. Consequently tax
revenues should continue to increase as the assessed value of
property within the County continues to increase.
GROFTB MANAGEMENT IMPACT; Implementation of the NRPA Program
will satisfy Objective 1. 3 of the CCME which reads as follows:
By August 1, 1994, complete the phased delineation , data
gathering, management guidelines and implementation of the County
Natural Resources Protection Areas (NRPA) Program.
The purpose of Natural Resources protection areas will be to
protect endangered or potentially endangered species (as listed
in current "Official Lists of Endangered and Potentially
Endangered Fauna and Flora in Florida" , published by the Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission) and their habitats.
The adoption of an HPO will satisfy Objective 6. 1 which reads as
follows:
By August 1, 1992, identify, define and prepare development
standards and criteria for all important native County habitats.
Until the adoption of specific development criteria, the County
will continue to follow current practices of habitat and species
protection through negotiations between County staff and
development interests as part of the public hearing process.
These negotiations are based on provisions in County Ordinances
including Ordinance 75-21, the Tree Removal Ordinance; Ordinance
77-66, the Environmental Impact Statement Ordinance; Ordinance
80-19, the Coastal Construction Control Line Ordinance; Ordinance
82-37, the Exotic Plants Ordinance; and Ordinance 74-9, the
Exotic Fish Ordinance.
tECOMMENDATION: To direct staff in continuing the development
of the NRPA Program and the HPO as required in the Conservation
and Coastal Management Element.

ENVIRONMENTAL SHORTCOMINGS OF REGULATORY AGENCIES
Wetland permitting -__.F.EP - SFwMD - USACOE - County
Agencies allow mitigation to offset loss of wetlands. They
also consider stormwater treatment systems to count as created
wetlands. While these storm systems are needed and many continue
to support wildlife almost all of these systems do not function
the same as native undisturbed wetlands. The stormwater systems
and other mitigation activities allow disruption and segregation
of large continuous sheet flow wetlands that still exist in Belle
Meade, Okalaoacoochee, Camp Keais, and the North Western area of
the County. Disruption of these native wetlands adversely
affects panthers, bears, wood storks, and other native species.
However, if mitigation from disrupted systems is directed into
some of these undeveloped areas they can result in a more
positive approach that these permitting agencies do not have
authority to require.
protected Species - FDEP - FGFWFC - USFW
State and Federal regulations prohibit killing these animals and
activities that may directly result in the destruction of nest
areas. However, they can only request that the areas these
animals feed and live be protected. Therefore habitat
destruction which accompanies virtually every development project
becomes one of if not the major mechanism for environmental
degradation and loss of protected species.
Upland - County
Collier County requires retention of 25% of native habitat
existing at the time of development. Wetland preservation areas
required by State and Federal Agencies are counted first towards
the 25% . This has resulted in only 44% of the new developments
reviewed since this was implemented in 1989 (till June 1993)
being required to preserve any uplands. The location of the
preserved uplands is up to the discretion of the developer.
Agencies
FDEP - Florida Department of Environmental Protection
SFWMD - South Florida Water Management District
USACOE - U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
FGFWFC - Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission
USFW - U. S. Fish band Wildlife
Summary
In summary it should be remembered that a permit allowing
development almost inevitably results in destruction of natural
habitat. The thrust of the NRPA/HPO Program is to minimize
habitat destruction and to address it from the systems approach.
Most regulatory agencies consider only parts of a system rather
than the entire system in their regulatory approach. h \

Area Under Consideration: approximately 70,000 acres
Estimated Value: variable
The North Golden Gate !states NRPA is en area east of SR 951, west of the
Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, and north of 1-7$ (Alligator Alley)
to 68 546. Lands within these boundaries fall into the nig Cypress
physiographic region, characterised by dense cypress forests, dwarf hat rack
cypress, and cypress dome depressions/ pine flatwoods with palmetto and grass
understories; hardwood hammocks; and both sesic and hydrin prairies. Because
of the diversity of various habitats within this area, a great variety of
flora, fauna and natural functions exist .
The wildlife habitat value in the region is high despite human uses. Current
research and historical data show the North Estates as important for the
Florida panther, black bear, red-cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoise and a
variety of other species. Panther and bear usage is sore common in the
southern and eastern portions of the area. Red-cockaded woodpecker colonies
are found in old growth pinelands. Gopher tortoises are found in upland
habitats with dry sandy soils that allow burrowing.
Although altered by human growth and development, the hydrological functions
of the area are essential for continued preservation of the ecosystems, and for
county well water. The area accepts natural flows from Corkscrew swamp, Camp
Teals Strand and Stumpy Strand, which eventually drain into Henderson Creek and
the Gulf of Mexico, or percolate into the ground water aquifer.
Under an NRPA designation, protection mechanisms should strike a balance
between the existing and anticipated development, and the preservation of
natural attributes in the area. The mechanisms should be sensitive to the
diversity of the area, differential utilization of sections of the Estates by
wildlife, and because of existing concentrations of housing. They should
include foe simple acquisition, regulatory, incentive, and voluntary protection
measures. Without these mechanisms many endemic fauna and flora will
disappear. Further, habitats that have aesthetic and other functional value
will be lost or degraded beyond recovery, hydrologic functions will be lost,
and it is likely that ground water quality will be compromised from polluting
household septic systems.

SOUTH GOLDEN GATE ESTATES NRPA
Area Under Consideration: Approximately 32 , 000 acres
Already Purchased: Approximately 10, 000 acres
Estimated Value: Variable
The South Golden Gate Estates is an area east of SR 951, adjacent
to the Belle Meade CARL acquisition area, south of I-75, and
north US 41. Lands within these boundaries fall into the Big
Cypress physiographic region, characterized by dense cypress
forests, dwarf hat rack cypress, and cypress dome depressions;
pine flatwoods with palmetto and grass understories; hardwood
hammocks; and both mesic and hydric prairies. Because of the
diversity of various habitats within this area, a great variety
of flora, fauna and natural functions exist.
The wildlife value in the region is high despite human uses.
Current research as well as historic data show the South Golden
Gate Estates as an important habitat for the Florida panther,
black bear, red-cockaded woodpecker, and a variety of other
species. Red-cockaded woodpecker colonies are found in old
growth pinelands.
Although altered by human growth and some development, the
hydrological functions of the area are essential for continued
preservation of the ecosystems. There is a hydrological
connection with the Panther National Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand
State Preserve, and Ten Thousand Island area.
Under an NRPA designation and CARL acquisition program, South
Golden Gate Estates should be targeted for a mitigation receiving
area and management by state agencies. Protection mechanisms
should include exotic removal and restoration of existing roads
that prevent disruption of wildlife corridors . Water levels
should be restored to the proper hydroperiods in order to
perpetuate aquatic plant communities and reduce the problem of
fire within the South Golden Gate Estates. Restoration should
also establish the historic freshwater flow to Collier County
coastal areas.

BELLE MEADE/\\'ESTERN BIG CYPRESS (BMD)
Area Under Consideration: approximately 37,000 acres
Estimated Assessed Value: $100,456,250
The Belle Meade acquisition is an area of about 58 square miles that is situated east of
C.R. 951, west of the south Golden Gate Estates, north and south of 1-75, and north
of U.S. 41. Lands within the project boundary support a variety of biotic
communities characteristic of the Big Cypress physiographic region. Cypress forests
range from dense, well-developed strands to large tracts of open pond and/or hat rack
cypress. The cypress dominated areas occur within a matrix of hydric and mesic pine
flatwoods and wet prairies. There are also a significant number of tropical hammocks
scattered throughout the area.
The wildlife habitat value of this region is high. Regular use by black bears, Flora
panthers, and bald eagles is indicative of the value of Belle Meade to these listed species. h
addition, the forested sloughs provide roosts and nesting sites for several wading bird species.
Of particular significance is the presence of a number of active red-cockaZed
woodpecker colonies in the pine flatwoods.
Surface water flowing through the Belle Meade system contributes significa ly
to the well-being of our coastal estuarine systems. Maintaining the wetland
functions in Belk Meade is vital to preserving the ecological integrity of both the
Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Collier Seminole State Part.
With respect to groundwater supplies, portions of Belle Meade have been identifies
areas of high aquifer recharge. Maintaining these wetland functions would provid. .
source for future drinking water supplies, irrigation, and also prevent saltuz~r
intrusion in the coastal zone.
Current land uses include recreational hunting and cattle grazing. The a.-ea
is threatened by exotic invasion (especially melaleuca), expanding urbanization, a.-4
intensive agriculture. If acquired, Belle Meade would form the extreme wes:e-n
portion of an extensive system of public lands north and south of 1-75 that could `-
managed to provide habitat for Florida panthers, black bears, and deer. Fe
acquisition sites can be managed for increasing populations of these species.

ROOKERY BAY CARL PROJECT ACQUISITION BOUNDARY
(RBC)
Area Under Consideration: 10,853 Acres
Estimated Assessed Value: SI3,756,000
The area within the Rookery Bay acquisition boundary consists of an array of wetlands
and uplands which surround the core of the reserve. The presence of these buffer lands is
essential to maintaining the wetland functions which are so vital to sustaining the ecological
integrity of the entire Rookery Bay system. The Rookery Bay area itself is an outstanding
example of a subtropical estuarine system. The natural communities associated with the
estuary are relatively undisturbed and range from mangrove forests and marsh to coastal
barrier islands, pine flatwoods, scrub, and maritime hammocks. Rookery Bay is part of the
National Estuanne Research Reserve System and is representative of the West Indian
biogeographic type.
Rookery Bay is a productive estuarine system which functions as a vast nursery ground
for the juvenile stages of countless species of marine animals. As adults, the pink
shrimp, snook, redfish, mullet, and sea trout which grow to maturity in the estuary
are economically important as sport or commercial catches. Additionally, the Rookery
Bay system provides habitat for a wide variety of threatened and endangered species.
Some of these include: West Indian manatees, Florida black bears, loggerhead sea
turtles, bald eagles, piping plovers, and peregine falcons.
Aside from their value as a refuge for wildlife, the wetlands surrounding Rooker y
provide Collier County with a cost-free surface water filtration system which maintains •._,er
quality in this ecologically and economically valuable estuarine ecosystem. The ability of these
wetlands to hold surface water while it slowly drains into coastal areas also helps protect
groundwater supplies from saltwater intrusion.
Rookery Bay already is a valuable recreational area for boaters and fishermen. The
beaches on the barrier islands within the acquisition boundary also provide opportunities for
picnicking, shelling, and swimming. As our population continues to grow, the recreational
value of this area will only become more important as it relates to the quality of life enjoyed by
the residents of Collier County.

CORKSCREW REGIONAL ECOSYSTEM NVA'I'ERSI[.ED (CREW)
Area Under Consideration: Approximately 10,000 acres
Estimated Assessed Value: N/A; S10,000,000 commitment from Collier County
The Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) is a generic name for a
contiguous system of wetlands and scattered uplands which encompasses nearly 50,000 acres in
Collier and Lee Counties. This region has been included in the South Florida Water
Management District's Save Our Rivers (SOR) Program and is a very high priority acquisition
project. As of March 1992 approximately 13,000 acres have been acquired. The CREW
Target Lands include those areas in Collier County within the Gordon River Swamp and Camp
Keats regions, which have not yet been purchased.
For descriptive purposes the CREW Project has been divided into 4 regions. The
National Audubon Society's 10,500 acre Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is located in the cent..
of the acquisition area. To the northeast is Corkscrew Marsh which encompasses
approximately 7,000 acres. This system functions as the headwaters for Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary and has already been purchased with SOR funds. In southeastern Lee Count).
Flintpen Strand connects with Bird Rookery Swamp and covers an additional 13,000 acres.
Over 3,500 acres in this region have also been acquired by both Lee County and the Southwest
Florida Water Management District. The CREW Target Lands are located within the 10,000
acre Bird Rookery Swamp on the western boundary of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and the
Camp Keais area which extends south of Lake Trafford to the northern boundary of the regian
known as Catherine Island. Camp Keais includes approximately 8,000 acres. If the CREW
Target Lands are acquired and a connection to the Florida Panther National Wildlife Ref
can be established through Catherine Island, then a continuous wildlife corridor from south. .
Lee and northern Collier Counties to the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades Nation
Park would be preserved for the benefit of future generations of people and wildlife.
In total, these preserved areas would cover over 100,000 acres. When this entire
system is looked at in the context of the habitat that it protects, the CREW Targe:
Lands are one of the most valuable properties under consideration for acquisition.
Aside from its high value as wildlife habitat and its function as a wildlife corridor, the
CREW Project has tremendous water management value. The northern portion of CRE\V
project has been identified as a major aquifer recharge area and is one of the few SOR Projects
where water supply is a significant issue.
Bird Rookery Swamp and Flintpen Strand, in conjunction with Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary, serve as one of the major nesting and feeding areas for the endangered
wood stork and other listed bird species. The presence of Florida panthers and blaci
bears has also been documented within the project area. The overall size anc
potential connectivity of the CREW Project with existing preserves and refuges is of
major significance to wildlife throughout this region.

CORDON RIVER SYSTEM (GRS)
Area Under Consideration: 259 acres
Estimated Assessed Value: N/A
The Gordon River System (GRS) is a generic name given to a combination of two
watersheds (Gordon River and Cocohatchee River) which form two of Collier County's
coastal river systems. A portion of the northern most system includes Little Hickory
Bay and the Cocohatchee River system itself. Some 13 miles due south is the southern
portion of the proposed corridor, i.e., the Gordon River/U.S. 41 bridge which
includes 3 miles of both natural and man-made drainages. The acreage included in
this portion of the GRS is the part of the corridor being proposed for fee simple
purchase. It extends from the Gordon River bridge north to the water control
structure at Golden Gate Parkway. The remaining northern portion of the GRS can be
maintained through existing regulations and the habitat protection ordinance once it
is implemented.
The vegetative associations within the GRS range from tidal mangrove forest to
transitional freshwater systems inland from mangroves. Some of the vegetative
associations found along this section of the corridor include: mangrove forests, oak
and cabbage palm associations, and xeric oak scrub. Brazilian pepper and Australian
pine infestations are prevalent on the berm that was created when this portion of the
Gordon River was dredged. These impacts along with various drainage projects have
severely altered the historic hydrology of the system. These changes in the
quantity, quality, and timing of freshwater discharges into this portion of
Gordon River have significantly influenced the composition of local plant and as.
communities.
As envisioned by the City of Naples and the Southwest Florida Land
Preservation Trust the corridor would contain a mix of both high and low use areas.
Although most of the use would likely involve canoeing, some hiking and biking paths
could be developed to link major areas of less intense activity.
The preservation and long-term maintenance of this unique 'greenway' through the
major urban zone of Collier County is central to the corridor concept as adopted in the
Comprehensive Land Use Plans of both the County and City. The acquisition of this
portion of the GRS would preserve significant wildlife habitat in the urban zone,
maintain visual breaks and buffers in an urban area, and provide recreational and
aesthetic benefits for the public at large.

OKALOACOOCIIEE SLOUGH (OKS)
Acres Under Consideration: Approximately 32,000 acres
Estimated Assessed Value: N/A
The Okaloacoochee Slough covers an area of about SO square miles in
northeastern Collier County and was identified as the first Area of Critical State
Concern in 1974. The slough is composed primarily of freshwater wetlands with pine
flatwoods and hardwood hammocks scattered through the system. The southern part of
the Okaloacoochee Slough abuts the Big Cypress National Preserve and is important as
a traditional breeding and kitten rearing habitat for Florida panthers. This has
occurred in the face of a backdrop of oil and limestone extraction, citrus groes,
vegetable farming, and cattle ranching. Continued expansion of these activities may
eliminate this area as important habitat for panther reproduction. The interface of
pine uplands, hardwood hammocks, and freshwater marshes supports abundant populations
of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, otters, wading birds, and other native species.
North of C.R. 846, the Okaloacoochee Slough is composed of a system of scattered
pine islands in a matrix of freshwater marsh. Further south the central part of this system once
contained large tracts of cypress. Although the cypress have since been logged, the area still
serves an important function as a natural water storage and filtration system. The
flowway from the Okaloacoochee Slough connects with Fact Hinson Marsh, Faka.hatcl-,ee
Strand and Deep Lake Strand in the Big Cypress area.
Current and compatible land uses within the Okaloacoochee Slough inct
recreational hunting, cattle grazing, and vegetable farming along its periphery.
environmental quality of this area is threatened by expanding agriculture and changes in
drainage patterns. Proper land management should maintain current levels of native
wildlife populations, maintain or increase native upland habitats, and protect
historical drainage patterns.

CAPE ROMAN'O OUTPARCELS (CRO)
Arca Under Consideration: 450 acres
Estimated Assessed Value: $330,000
These parcels are located south of Marco Island within the beach and mangrove
systems that include Morgan, Kice, and Cape Romano Islands. The area containing the
properties is bordered on the west by the Gulf of Mexico and by Caxambas and Gullivan Bays
to the east. About 1,650 acres of the approximately 2,200 acres that make-up the islands are
already owned by the State.
The properties being recommended for acquisition contain portions of mangrove
wetlands, coastal strand vegetation, and barrier beach systems. The purchase of
these areas would prevent the fragmentation and possible piecemeal development of
this still naturally functioning, dynamic group of coastal barrier islands.
The barrier beaches in this area are utilized for nesting by loggerhead sea turtles, least
terns, and black skimmers. They are also an important resting area for a variety of shorebirds,
including snowy plovers, piping plovers, and American oystercatchers. It has been estimated
that during most high tides 10 - 30% of Collier County's shorebirds roost along Morgan
Beach. Peregrine falcons are also often observed herr. In addition, numerous wading birds
such as snowy egrets, little blue herons, great egrets, and tricolor herons feed in the adjacent
flats at low tides. West Indian Manatees have also been seen feeding in the area.
The beaches fronting these islands are utilized by boaters for picnicking, swimm•
and shelling. The snook, redfish, sheepshead, and sea trout which frequent the surroun. ,
waters are a major attraction for local fishermen. The many species of birds which frequent
the area make it a favorite location for bird watching.

significance to Natural Systems
Introduction
The Ten Thousand Islands area is made up of nurerous mangrove
islands, bays, and tidal creeks. The area is part of the largest
mangrove system in the western hemisphere, with black and white
mangroves forming dense forests landward of the fringing red
mangroves (FDNR, 1988) . Development within the area is sparse.
Marco Island and Goodland are located at the northwest and
northeast ends of the Ten Thousand Islands, respectively, and
Everglades City and Chokoloskee, at the south end. For the
purpose of this report, the Ten Thousand Islands may be
considered to stretch from Cape Romano southeastward to the
vicinity of the Turner River. There are many minor passes that
lead through the mangrove islands to the G,:lf cf Mexico.
wildlife
Fisheating birds are abundant around the subrerged areas of the
Ten Thousand Islands. Brown pelicans, cormorants, black skimmers,
various species of gulls, mergansers, and terns are common.
Several osprey nests are located among the mangrove islands, and
an active bald eagle nest is located inshore of Cape Romano
Island. Of the above, brown pelicans and bald eagles are
protected species (U. S. Department of the Interior, 1968) .
Other protected species frequently utilize the area and include
bottle-nosed dolphins and West Indian manatees . The 1979 aerial
surveys conducted by the USFWS indicated that the Ten Thousand
Islands region is a center of abundance for manatees in southwest
Florida. The endangered Atlantic Loggerhead turtle comes ashore
for nesting on the outer islands where appropriate beaches are
located.
Terrestrial wildlife inhabitants include rodents, raccoons,
squirrels, snakes, and occasional deer. The area also has
abundant and diverse birdlife. On the mainland, there are greater
concentrations of deer, turkey, waterfowl , alligator, bobcat,
opossum, black bear, gray fox, otter, rabbit, and occasional
panther (U. S. Department of the Interior, 1968) . A detailed
discussion of resident faunal species found in the area can be
found in the FDNR Rookery Bay-Ten Thousand Islands Aquatic
Preserves Management Plan (1988) .

CLAN BAY/CLAM PASS )RPA
Area Under Consideration: Approximately 570 acres
The Clam Bay System is located on the Gulf of Mexico shoreline of
Collier County. The Ritz Carlton Resort development on
Vanderbilt Road is the northern extent of the system, with
Pelican Bay PUD to the east, and Seagate Drive, as the southern
boundary of the System.
The proposed NRPA consists of a small tidal inlet, Clam Pass,
located approximately three-quarters of a mile north of Seagate
Drive. South of Clam Pass is Outer Clam Bay, the largest of the
three bays contained within the Clam Bay System. This bay area
has environmentally sensitive seagrass beds that need protection
from power-driven vessels entering from Clam Pass at high tide.
Proceeding northerly from the Clam Pass vicinity via a meandering
tidal tributary is Inner Clam Bay and north of this bay is Upper
Clam Bay, again connected by a small , meandering tributary.
The public park site includes the Clam Pass Park and public beach
area. its primary use is for recreational activities. The
Conservation Area may only be used for conservation purpose which
include conservation and protection of the natural resources,
wildlife diversity, scenic beauty, and aesthetic value of the
area. The Clam Pass Park is approximately 35 acres in size,
while the Conservation Area is approximately 535 acres in size.
The bays are separated from the waters of the Gulf to the west by
a relatively narrow band of mangrove swamps, dune ridge, and
beach, varying from 100 feet to 1200 feet in width. The bay
system is bound on its east side by mangrove and black rush
marshes, which grade into a transitional zone of sawgrass and
sweet bay hammocks, then into the adjacent pine uplands of the
Pelican Bay PUD. There are also scattered scrub areas vegetated
by Rosemary, scrub oak, prickly pears, and spike moss.
Mangrove deterioration is very evident in the northwestern
portion of Clam Bay. Water quality problems may be the source of
this deterioration. Studies need to be conducted within this
area.
Many species of invertebrates and vertebrates are represented in
the Clam Bay System. Bird species commonly seem are brown
pelicans, ospreys, various herons and egrets. The area is also
used by bald eagles. Roseate spoonbills, black-necked stilts,
and sandpipers utilized the area also.

Collier County was granted an easement to the Clam Bay System by
Coral Ridge-Collier Properties, Inc. , on April 13 , 1982 . This
deed has certain declaration of restrictions (convenants)
insuring that the area be used only for conservation purposes,
but a (NRPA) management plan needs to be initiated to restore the
seagrass and mangrove systems. Also, an exotic removal program
and water quality study needs to be conducted.

RE: Land Development Regulation Challenge - Case No. LC-91-F-01
and Case No. LC-93-F-01
Dear Mr. Pennock:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your March 24 , 1994
letter regarding the subject Land Development Regulation
Challenge Case Number LC-91-F-01 and LC-93-F-01. The County
acknowledges your assessment that the adoption of land
development regulations for Objectives 11. 6 and Policy 11. 6. 1 is
no longer an issue with the adoption of Ordinance 93-37 .
You also state that the Ordinance "does not address the portion
of Policy 6. 1 . 1 that requires development standards and criteria
for xeric scrub habitats. Nor does it inventory, define and
contain developments standards and criteria, based on the
presence of dominant or indicative species, for xeric scrub
habitats, marine, freshwater, transitional zone wetlands,
hardwood hammocks, pine flatwoods and dry prairie habitats, as
required by the remaining portion of the policy. "
Objective 6. 1 and its attendant policies were adopted to consider
more encompassing land development regulations to protect
habitats than were originally adopted by the County in 1989. The
County has already adopted land development regulations providing
for the protection of native vegetative communities and habitat
consistent with policies 6.4 . 6 and 6.4 .7 . Attached is a copy of
the Section of the County's ULDC which addresses Vegetation
Removal , Protection and Preservation. Please refer to Section
3 .9.5. 5.
While the County has not adopted the Habitat Protection
Ordinance, it has adopted minimal land development regulations
Mr. Robert Pennock, Chief
May 25, 1994
Page -2-
which addresses all native habitat and is therefore in compliance
with minimum state requirements. The Board of County
Commissioners did consider the Habitat Protection Ordinance at a
June 16, 1993 Public Hearing. It directed staff to defer further
work on the HPO until the NRPA program becomes more fully
developed. Again, this recognizes the fact that the County
already has adopted land development regulations designed to
protect habitats consistent with policies 6.4 . 6 and 6. 4 .7 . This
direction further recognizes the Objectives and Policies of Goal
14 which require the County to avoid unnecessary duplication of
existing regulatory programs.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call Stan
Litsinger at 643-8408 .

DATE: March 29, 1994
t\jr-P
SUBJECT: Natural Resources Protection Area (NRPA)
Procedures Manual
The attached document was created to establish a procedure in
which each Natural Resources Protection Area (NRPA) will be
processed. The NRPA Procedure Manual also contains a flow chart
illustrating the procedure to be followed in establishing a Board
approved NRPA.

NRPA PROCEDURE MANUAL
On March 1, 1994 , the Board of County Commissioners gave staff
direction to initiate the Natural Resources Protection Area
(NRPA) Program. The following data explains the procedure in
which each NRPA will be pfocessed.
1. Staff prepares a list of proposed NRPA's for the Board's
consideration. The following area have been listed by EPTAB
as candidates for potential NRPA's.
a. Clam Bay
b. Ten Thousand Islands
c. South Golden Gate Estates
d. Belle Meade
e. Rookery Bay
f. CREW/Camp Keais
g. Gordon River System
h. Okaloacoochee Slough
i . North Golden Gate Estates
Staff provides a one page summary of each NRPA which is
presented to EPTAB for review. The summary should include a
brief description of the following:
a. Introduction of the proposed NRPA (brief description of
its size and location) .
b. The NRPA's qualifications (brief description of its
uniqueness, water quality, endangered species, etc. ) .
c. Brief statement about what action would be taken if
approved as a NRPA (management plan, problems that may
need corrections within the NRPA, lack of regulatory
protection, etc. ) .
2 . Staff presents list and one page summary of NRPA's to the
Board for consideration. Board reviews list and authorizes
staff to proceed with selected potential NRPA's.
3 . Staff presents Board with a three to five page technical
manual which expands upon the one-page summary report.
Expansion consists of a criteria that is developed for each
selected potential NRPA's. Board reviews technical manual
and authorizes staff to proceed with selected NRPA's.
-1-
4 . Staff established criteria for each individual NRPA, and
formulates a management plan, if needed, as well as a
technical report. Staff utilizes NRPA's Internal Procedure
Manual which establishes priorities for the NRPA being
processed
5. Staff presents technical report and management plan to EPTAB
for review and comments.
6. Property owners are notified by staff if proposed NRPA
involves their land.
7 . Staff takes EPTAB comments and establishes a workshop draft
of NRPA to be presented at EPTAB public workshop.
8. Staff presents NRPA draft at EPTAB public workshop and takes
comments and statements from EPTAB and public.
9. Based on EPTAB and public comments, staff drafts final NRPA
document for Boards review.
10. Board reviews final draft of NRPA's technical report and
management plans and approves or rejects NRPA.
11. Board adoption of NRPA for implementation action.
-2-
LDC AND GMP AMENDMENT FOR NRPA CONSIDERATIONS
Depending on what would be required of the approved NRPA an
amendment cycle could be initiated within the Land Development
Code or the Growth Management Plan (GMP) .
1. The Land Development Code can be amended in January and July.
2 . The Growth Management Plan can be amended in August.
3 . All NRPA's will require changes to the GMP Future Land Use
Element.
4 . Any NRPA that includes a "Special Treatment" (ST) area
changes in allowable densities, or additional project review
would have to amend the Land Development Code (LDC) in
addition to the GMP. The only NRPA's likely to avoid going
through the LDC amendment cycle would be ones where the land
ownership or control is with a conservation organization.
5. All LDC amendments for NRPA would go to the County Attorney
for legal review.
6. Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) reviews all changes
to the LDC and GMP.
7. LDC and GMP changes reviewed by BCC. LDC changes adopted or
rejected by Board.
8. GMP goes to Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review,
DCA recommends or objects to changes.
9. GMP goes to CCPC for adoption.
10. GMP goes to BCC for adoption.
The above process is estimated to take approximately 18 months.
The NRPA Procedure mechanisms gives ample opportunity for review
by public and private interest. This procedure assures that all
concerns about individual NRPA's will be appraised and considered
within the NRPA program guidelines.

III.Approval of Minutes:
The minutes of the December 20, 1993 were approved
unanimously with one change to make Robert Duane's
responsibility to draft a letter an action item.
IV. Old Business:
1. Mike Davis stated that the EPTAB members must elect a new
vice chairman since the previous vice chairman, Larry
Richardson had resigned. Gary Beardsley nominated Dorothea
Zysko and Nancy Payton seconded the nomination. David Maehr
nominated Gary Beardsley and David Land seconded the
nomination. General discusions occured amoung the EPTAB
members regarding the new nominees and their credentials.
Eventually, Mike Davis called for a vote and Fran Stallings
talleyed the votes and announced the new vice chairman,
Dorothea Zysko.
2 . Mike Davis passed around a letter written to the Chairman of
the BCC, Commissioner Tim Constantine, regarding EPTAB's
recommendation to the BCC to appoint Dr. John Staiger as a
member, (drafted by Robert Duane) .
Several EPTAB members said that the letter should have noted
the fact that governmental employees have been previously
appointed as members of EPTAB; therefore, Dr. Staiger should
not be discredited as he has in the past because he is a City
of Naples employee. Mike Davis said he would talk to
Chairman Constantine regarding their concern.
3 . Mike Davis mentioned that EPTAB voted on a list of possible
NRPAs in December of 1992 . During the last public workshop
the BCC had requested to review a list of possible NRPAs. On
January 18th the BCC is scheduled to review the list.
Fran Stallings said the NRD Staff recommended that the Ten
Thousand Islands be placed first on the list, due to four
listed species, CREW areas second and CARL areas third, due
to their recognized importance, Gordon River forth,
Okaloacoochee Slough fifth, and Clam Bay seventh. He also
said that the North Golden Gate Estates had been recommended
for removal from the list that was transmitted to the BCC as
part of the Executive Summary.
EPTAB members discussed the various pros and cons of the NRPA
listings and rankings. Then Gary Beardsley made a motion to
approve the following list:
1. Ten Thousand Islands
2 . CREW
3 . CARL
4 . Areas within the Area of Critical State
Concern that are not protected in preserves or parks
5. Clam Pass
6. Gordon River
7. Okaloacoochee Slough
8. North Golden Gate Estates
Prior to voting the EPTAB members discussed the option of
catagorizing the NRPAs in order to organize them for the BCC.
Subsequently David Land amended the motion to delete #4 and
change it to the Area of Critical State Concern, which was
seconded by Nancy Payton. Mike Davis called for a vote which
failed 2 to 5.
David Land made a first amendment to the motion to approve
the following list:
1. Ten Thousand Islands
2 . CREW
3 . CARL
4. Clam Bay
5. Gordon River
6. Okaloacoochee Slough
7. North Golden Gate Estates
Mike Davis called for a vote which failed 2 to 5.
David Maehr made a second amendment to the motion to approve
the following list:
1. Ten Thousand Islands
2 . CREW
3 . South Golden Gate Estates
4 . Belle Meade
5. Rookery Bay
6. Gordon River
7. Clam Pass
8 . Okaloacoochee Slough
9 . North Golden Gate Estates
Mike Davis called for a vote which passed 5 to 2 .
Fran Stallings explained that EPTAB's potential list for
areas to be possible NRPAs shall be forwarded to the BCC
A. S.A.P. Several EPTAB members requested that if on January
18th any of the BCC members have questions about the areas on
the potential list that are currently being protected, they
would like for the NRD Staff to emphasize that the natural
resource systems are extremely important to our local economy
and quality of life.
4 . Mike Davis announced that the LDC shortcomings item would be
continued and the subcommittee will meet, after it has been
publically advertised, prior to the next EPTAB meeting which
will be scheduled for January 24th.
5. Gary Beardsley suggested that EPTAB form a subcommitte to
review and report the proposed ACOE changes that may affect
the permitting of dredging and filling of federal
jurisdictional wetlands within Golden Gate Estates. Mike
Davis appointed Chris Hagen, Gary Beardsley, and Steve Means
to be on the new subcommittee.
6. David Addison requested that the NRD Staff give a post-report
on the Sand Dollar Island Issue. Fran Stallings responded by
mentioning that the EAB made the folowing recommendations:
1. EAB supports the critical wildlife areas on Sand Dollar
Island, as limited and defined by original legal
description in Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission (FGFWFC) order and supports the remainder of
the beach to be for recreational use.
2 . EAB requests that County Staff investigate feasibility of
a movable, expandable boardwalk to enhance beach access.
3 . EAB requests that County Staff amend Marco Beach raking
permit to permit raking to occur in areas which became
vegetated as a result of being a critical wildlife area
and which have ceased being critical wildlife areas.
4. EAB recommends, in concurrence with EPTAB that the County
conduct an educational seminar in the Marco Island area
on coastal barrier systems and their functions and
values.
5. EAB recommends in coccurrence with EPTAB that the County
investigate an environmental interpretive program at
Tigertail.

Re: Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board
Dear Commissioner Constantine:
Recently, Larry Richardson regrettably resigned from EPTAB. We have
been advised that Dr. John Staiger is still interested in becoming a
member. Previously, County staff had recommended he be appointed to
fill a prior vacancy. Because many of us know John and have come to
respect him for his work, the EPTAB has unanimously requested that you
consider him, once again, when the appointment comes before you
because, not only does he have a similar background to Mr . Richardson,
we believe he would be an asset to our Board.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter .
Very truly yours ,

TO: Commissioner Burt L. Saunders, Chairman
Commissioner Timothy J. Constantine, Vice Chairman
Commissioner Michael J. Volpe
Commissioner Bettye J. Matthews
Commissioner John C. Norris
FROM: Mike Davis, Chairman, EPTAB
DATE: 22-Dec-1993
SUBJECT: Sand Dollar Area
EPTAB at its formal meeting on Monday, December 20, 1993 ,
approved the following recommendations in regards to the Sand
Dollar area in response to your recent request.
1. Due to the health concerns expressed by the public, EPTAB
recommends that the County conduct a water quality study of
the lagoon and tidal pool areas with comparison stations on
the Gulf side of Sand Dollar Island and at one other county
park (e.g. Clam Pass) . As a minimum the study should
include the following parameters: salinity, dissolved
oxygen, pH, temperature, fecal coliform, and fecal
streptococcus. These are the same parameters previously
studied in the beach renourishment permit monitoring. It is
also recommended that HRS be contacted and their cooperation
be enlisted in the water quality study.
2 . Due to the demonstration by the Game and Freshwater Fish
Commission (GFC) - that Sand Dollar Island is critical to
the numerous species of shore and wading birds using the
habitat; EPTAB recommends support for a CWA designation with
the specific boundaries and posted areas designated
regardless of whether these fall within the existing legal
boundaries of the CWA. However, it is also recommended that
should the GFC consider further expanding the boundaries of
the posted area, that public input be solicited and
considered in the GFC's constitutionally mandated process to
amend the boundary.
3 . EPTAB does not recommend filling the lagoon or tidal pools.
If a public health problem is ever shown to exist then EPTAB
will work with the appropriate agencies and groups to find
the best solution to eliminate such health risks.
4 . EPTAB recommends that the County conduct an educational
seminar/workshop in the Marco Island area on coastal barrier
systems and their wildlife functions and values.
5. EPTAB recommends that the County investigate the initiation
of an environmental interpretive program at Tigertail Beach
capitalizing on the ecology and natural systems and wildlife
of the area.
We are pleased to have had the opportunity to assist you in this
matter and will be happy to provide any additional help that you
may require.

was approved by the vote of 6 for to 2 against.
There was unanimous approval for the following
recommendation: "Due to the demonstration by the Game and
Freshwater Fish Commission (GFC) - that Sand Dollar Island
is critical to the numerous species of shore and wading
birds using the habitat; EPTAB recommends support for a CWA
designation with the specific boundaries and posted areas
designated regardless of whether these fall within the
existing legal boundaries of the CWA. However, it is also
recommended that should the GFC consider further expanding
the boundaries of the posted area, that public input be
solicited and considered in the GFC's constitutionally
mandated process to amend the boundary. "
There was unanimous approval for the following motion:
"EPTAB does not recommend filling the lagoon or tidal pools.
If a public health problem is ever shown to exist then EPTAB
will work with the appropriate agencies and groups to find
the best solution to eliminate such health risks. "
There was also unanimous approval for the following motions.
"EPTAB recommends that the County conduct an educational
seminar/workshop in the Marco Island area on coastal barrier
systems and their wildlife functions and values. "
"EPTAB recommends that the County investigate the initiation
of an environmental interpretive program at Tigertail Beach
capitalizing on the ecology and natural systems and wildlife
of the area. "
2 . NRPA Ranking's - The BCC will discuss NRPA's at the 1/18/94
meeting. Gary Beardsley and Robert Duane were asked to
discuss the LDC shortcomings.
Staff was requested to list "bulleted" reasons for each NRPA
listing.
Ranking and final list will be prepared at the 1/10/94 EPTAB
meeting. This information will be submitted to the BCC in
the agenda package.
V. New Business:
1. Robert Duane suggested EPTAB should contact Dr. Jon Staiger
about the EPTAB vacancy and if he is interested advise the
BCC that he would be a good replacement for Larry
Richardson. A motion for Robert Duane to draft a letter
with staffs assistance was passed unanimously.
VI. Action Items:
1. Robert Duane and Gary Beardsley should meet to discuss LDC
shortcomings.
Staff should prepare a list of NRPAs with bulleted reasons
supporting the NRPA and prioritize the list.
2 . Robert Duane is to draft a letter with assistance from
staff.

Dear Mr. Saunders: -�
Effective immediately I am resigning my position as a member of the
Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board. I regret, as a result of this
decision, that I will not be able to work as closely on certain issues. However, I
still plan to be involved in County policy making as my job with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service permits and as a concerned citizen.
I will not expound on my reasons for resigning. If you ever care to hear them,
please do not hesitate to call on me.
It has been a privilege to work on EPTAB and a pleasure to work with the
dedicated staff under Bill Lorenz's direction.
Sincerely,
/(12, e's)

MEMORANDUM
TO: EPTAB Members
FROM: Natural Resources Department
DATE: 15-Dec-1993
SUBJECT: Minutes from NRPA Workshop - 12/7/93
Attached are minutes that were compiled by Judy Haner, Naples
Conservancy, from the December 7, 1993 NRPA Workshop.
David Land and Dave Maehr suggested that each member receive a
copy of these minutes.
NRPA Workshop
7 December 1993
The 'time certain' (1:00 p.m.) scheduled NRPA workshop began at —3:20 p.m.
Introductory remarks were made by Mike Davis, EPTAB chairman. The bulk of the
presentation was made by David Land, with the natural communities of Camp Keais
expounded upon by Dave Maehr.
Although asked to hold their comments until the end, the Commissioners did ask
questions through the portions presented by both David Land and Dave Maehr.
The first question evolved around population projections presented by David Land of
-- 1 million people in the next 70 years. Burt Saunders, Bette Matthews and Mike Volpe
were concerned about the population projections and news headlines reading `projected 1
million people in Collier County'. They said the Regional Planning Council estimates 3
million people from Sarasota to Naples.
Discussion of the NRPA program prompted many questions. Mike Volpe wanted to
know what the other potential NRPAs were. David Land stated portions of North Golden
Gate Estates, South Golden Gate Estates, Belle Meade and the Okaloacoochee Slough.
Mike Volpe asked what the total number of acres was for all proposed NRPAs.
Someone (Kim Pollen and Kevin Duggan) figured (roughly 28% of the northwest portion of
the County) this while David Land continued with the talk.
Tim Constantine wanted to know what triggered the initiation of an NRPA. David
Land answered that it could be county staff, EPTAB or a private group. Tim Constantine
was concerned the NRPAs would create 100s upon 1000s of hours of work for County staff.
David Land suggested that the County Commissioners decide when, along the progression of
an NRPA, they want to see the plan.
Mike Volpe asked if there was any objective criteria used to measure the value for
each NRPA, some process to meet certain criteria and board criteria, then make a decision
for approval or rejection.
Tim Constantine wondered about the CREW and CARL programs (State and
Regional). John Norris questioned the mitigation receiving areas concept and asked if
CREW and CARL would cooperate.
John Norris thinks the current protection is enough. David Land questioned the
remaining uplands and exotics, looking at the long-term development of the area. He stated
that currently if he wanted to apply for a DRI on some of his lands surrounding Camp Keais
Strand now he could.
Mike Volpe stated that from the perspective of the landowners, the possibility of
inverse condemnation arises. What if the lands appearing on the NRPA list HAVE to be
bought by Collier County? David Land stated that lines on a map are permissible, but
deciding what happens within those lines is the important part.
Mike Volpe questioned current ST development in the Camp Keais area. David Land
stated that after a review of the lands, they found wetlands were addressed but not systems or
uplands. Mike Volpe wanted to know the impact of the ST overlay on a system. Mike
Volpe questioned the use of acquisition or management approaches (general). David Land
said both options are possible.
David Land stated that if the Commissioners felt that there was already enough land
in public ownership then they would proceed a different way than the NRPA.
John Norris wondered if we could handle everything in the proposed NRPA program
by altering the ULDC, rather than setting up a new process. David Land said the systems
need to be looked at rather than a project by project basis. John Norris asked is the ULDC
was capable of accomplishing this. David Land said that in current form, the ULDC will not
protect systems in the northwest County. John Norris suggested changing the ULDC. David
Land suggested addressing county staff to see if change in ULDC could employ systems.
David Land's portion of talk finally complete
Mike Volpe asked why looking at this system? CREW is looking at the wetlands and
CARL is doing a volunteer program.
Dave Maehr talked about the wide range of tools available for NRPAs, from fee
simple to nothing. Collier County Commissioner's recognition of ecosystems to the people
of Florida using areas on lists for other organizations, rather moving them up the priority
list. Mike Davis said NRPAs are a difficult process to work through and that we need a
definitive direction for county staff to answer the NRPA portion of the Growth Management
Plan.
Tim Constantine said the Collier County land-use is for the County. What is this
`other county'? What purpose does it serve other than to make the numbers more palatable
for NRPA reasons? David Land said we need the `other county' to focus on hydrology
aspects of public lands - is the ULDC enough? Will the Commissioners feel they have done
their jobs in making the decision concerning the NRPA.
Mike Volpe asked for EPTAB's conclusion on the efficiency of existing programs for
the Growth Management Plan. David Land stated that EPTAB feels additional programs,
such as HPOs and NRPAs, are needed to protect systems and ecological values. We may be
able to change the ULDC, but something must be adopted.
Tim Constantine was unclear. 2/3 of the county is 100% protected. EPTAB wants to
protect a heavy segment of the remaining 1/3. 20 years from now, 3/4 of the county
protected, but we still need more. How far does this go? David Land said if they felt
comfortable with the wetlands now protected, then all is ok. What about wetland/upland
systems? How do they feel? EPTAB feels more is needed!
Public Comment
Barbara Cawley
from Wilson, Miller, Barton and Peek, Inc., representing Barron Collier Co.,
Westinghouse Communities, CBIA (Collier Building Industry Association). 1 million people
an overestimate. Jeff Perry, NPO, did a build-out study that estimates 460,000 people in
urban Collier County and she really doesn't expect that number. Developments are not
building to full potential. For example, Gray Oaks could have had 11,000 residences, but
instead built only 2400.
She doesn't like dividing the county into two portions and sees only one Collier
County. She states that we do receive ecological value from the southern and eastern portion
of the county: water supply, tourism, estuaries. Statistics for other counties in Florida
would change if we excluded their public lands.
We already have strategies for general protection, such as the LDC: greenspace,
landscape protection, etc. LDC occurs in all parts of Collier County, not just in northwest
portion. We have federal permits, state permits, regional permits, ACSC. Adequate
protection exists, lands are already protected.
EPTAB states there are GAPS in protection, native uplands and exotic control.
Native uplands are protected by the vegetative clearing permits and exotic control on NRPA
lands would have to be paid for by the county.
There are 7 agencies involved in approvals over Camp Keais and all other areas in
Collier County. There is some say in Collier County as to what goes on. There are no gaps
in protection.
Look at inverse condemnation. Will the County buy them? Citizens are not
interested in paying for them. The County has no funding. CARL and CREW have funding
sources. No Regulations!
Recommendation: Comply with the Comp. Plan by designating something an NRPA
- Currently owned lands in Collier County. Existing lands are already protected, so no one
has to pay.
Tom Jones
representing Barron Collier Co.
Directs his comments toward the model used today. Recognizes the environmental
value. The Camp Keais area shows up on all maps of sensitive lands for SW Florida. It
runs through the heart of the agricultural area of Collier County and is nearly pristine.
Camp Keais area exists today because of their efforts, not despite them. He fails to see gaps
in protection. Permitting anything is a lengthy process thru SFWMD. At every step, the
WMD turns and asks them how they will address the specific concerns. Native uplands fall
under the Endangered Species Act.
Recommends: No further movement on Camp Keais Area.
Rocky Robbins
represents Pacific Land Co.
Follows same stand as Barron Collier Co. There is already enough protection. No
further regulations at Camp Keais.
Bill Neuron
represents Economic Development Committee
We worry about the quality of life for plants and animals, but what about the
PEOPLE.
There is only ONE Collier County. We have preserved 70-75%. No reason to
believe that the remainder of the critical areas will not be preserved. Work at the state level
with their proposed rules and mitigation banking. There should be close scrutiny at the state
level, rather than the County creating additional levels.
Last meeting on HPOs on PUDs, decided that 30-40% is already preserved.
Need an ordinance to protect the property rights of people! No more land!
Get from staff a detailed report on the cost and number of man hours needed.
Existing regulations work well. Just say no!
John Fitch by Dave Addison
If you need a reason as to why to protect these areas, look at the hydrology of the
area.
Brad Cornell
representing concerned citizen
thinks it is a difficult problem, land development vs. protection. Most of the time we
look at economics rather than intrinsic ecological values. Protect these areas through any
action. Avoid wasting time.
Chris Straton
Barbara Cawley is right, there are alot of regulations. They are on a site by site
basis. Rarely are the sites next to each other. This is a systems approach. A large portion
of the county is already in public ownership-but wetlands.
The NRPA's reactions come from the HPO workshop. Then you said not another
layer for specific projects, but a systems approach. NRPA addresses systems.
Difficult to explain the complex process to protect fragile systems. We needed the
`hands-on' examples presented here today, mitigation banking, volunteer programs and
education. Referenced the Vision Collier 2000 study-NESBIT. Comprehensive systems.
Commissioner Comments
Mike Volpe wants to see the other potential NRPAs and what existing regulations
protect them so there is no duplication.
Bill Lorenz stated that in January 1993, the Commissioners agreed to listen to a
workshop. In June 1993, the Commissioners said to continue with the NRPA and to
integrate the HPO. This was done with the NRPAs serving as mitigation receiving areas for
HPOs.
Mike Volpe wants to see the degree of protection and where the gaps are for each
NRPA. So what did county staff do?
Bill Lorenz stated that they can't provide an overview of the regulations. Each area
has unique characteristics and regulations, so you have to do an analysis for each area.
Burt Saunders wondered if current protection is adequate? He feels we need more
protection and asked that the staff move forward with the programs.
Mike Volpe asked again where the NRPA areas are. How much time and cost is
involved? (apparently this was discussed 12 months ago). How can the Commissioners look
at a potential area without signing on for the total NRPA program?
Bill Lorenz asked how much time was to be dedicated to the process? About 500-600
hours of staff time so far. There are about 10 areas. Staff can present the board with
priorities and environmental objectives for each area.
Mike Volpe asked who established the areas? Bill Lorenz stated that EPTAB
established the potential NRPAs. The board saw them in January 1993.
Tim Constantine thinks the County is adequately protected. He prefers to digest and
read through the material and then decide.
Bette Mathews said that they addressed the particular areas and may be able to decide
for Camp Keais, but they need to look at each of the systems.
Burt Saunders planned a meeting for county staff and the Commissioners for the
second Tuesday in January to determine the direction on developing or not developing
NRPAs.
Bette Mathews wants reasons/rationale as to why the areas were identified and what,
in general, is not protected.
Roy Cawley said he would prepare overlays for all current regulations on all areas in
Collier County.
Dave Addison said that the areas were identified by hydrology aspects that feed the
county.

I. Meeting called to order
II. Roll call
III. Approval of Minutes:
Gary Beardsley asked to have action items listed within
the minutes. Dorothea Zysko requested that her name be
correctly spelled. Minutes of November 22 , 1993 , approved
unanimously.
IV. Old Business:
1. Dorothea Zysko, representing the Sand Dollar Ad Hoc
Committee presented a fact-finding session for the Advisory
Board. She explained that the Ad Hoc Committees first
meeting was held on Sand Dollar Island, followed by two
additional meetings at the Natural Resources Department.
The Ad Hoc Committee had several points that needed to be
addressed before the full EPTAB Committee members make a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
a) Ready maps of Sand Dollar Island indicate that the beach
system is very dynamic.
b) There has been confusion on the part of the public
involving the location of the Critical Wildlife Area
(CWA) boundaries and when they are posted. There is
also confusion as to the actual design of the beach
renourishment area.
c) It is very important to define where the MHW line is.
There is a need to define where the State and County
lands end.
The CWA was deemed to be somewhat of a side issue. More
important concerns are the water quality and beach access.
The public is concerned with the flushing and "mucky" bottom
that exist within the small lagoon. The subcommittee
requested a water quality test be conducted in the near
future by Pollution Control Department. Samples taken
during 1989, 90 and 91 for E-coli and tested in the normal
range.
2 . Commissioner Norris explained that Section 7 and 12 is not
definable on maps used. Jerry Neal stated that the Tax
Office maps showed Section 7 and 12 as just extendible lines
on their map and not definable as actual section lines.
Mark Robson, FGFWFC stated that the Game Commissioner used
U.S. Geographical Survey maps which also show the lines as
not definable. Robson said that the area needs to be
surveyed again.
Commissioner Norris stated that a good portion of the area
that is roped off is outside the original CWA boundary.
Commissioner Norris was concerned that the Game Commission
would continue to expand the boundary further south if the
birds move in that direction. Commissioner Norris also
requested that the Game Commission look at the feasibility
of a "walk-over" that could be constructed for direct access
to Sand Dollar Island. Col. Dan Dunford, FGFWFC, replied
that they would be willing to look at this possibility.
Commissioner Norris asked Mr. Robson if the lagoon were to
close up and no longer flush, would the area lose its value
for the shorebirds?" Mr. Robson replied that he was not a
marine ecologist and could not answer Commissioner Norris
question. Ted Below, National Audubon, stated that the area
would become very shallow and probably improve in value to
shorebirds.
3 . Mark Robson made a presentation with slides. Three major
themes were presented:
a) The FGFWFC - its role and responsibility
b) CWA - background of the program
c) CWA - as it compares to Sand Dollar Island
Mark Robson explained that the least tern, snowy plover,
black skimmer and other listed species used Sand Dollar
Island.
Mark Robson stated that certain issues have been raised by
the public and he wanted to respond to these issues.
a) Issue: Sand Dollar Island is now attached to Marco
Island and that it is no longer valuable as a CWA.
Response: No merit to this statement.
b) Issue: FGFWFC posted parts of the renourished beach.
Response: This did not happen.
c) Issue: The posting of the CWA stops access to the
island.
Response: This did not happen.
d) Issue: The tide pool is not a desirable public area.
Response: FGFWFC can't respond to this, but the birds
are feeding in the lagoon, people are fishing there and
catching bait fish there.
e) Issue: It has been stated that the FGFWFC would expand
the area.
Response: The FGFWFC has no plans to expand the posted
area at this time.
f) Issue: Are there plans to expand the boundaries of the
CWA.
Response: The area will be surveyed and if necessary the
CWA will be considered for expansion.
Recommendation to the Commission:
a) Recognize continued use of CWA for the birds.
b) Look for ways to minimize impacts to the public and
coordinate any changes with input from the local
community.
c) No expansion of southern area without clarifying
boundaries of area.
4 . David Land said that EPTAB had four decisions that had to be
resolved (a fifth one was considered not an issue) .
a) What our position is with respect to the CWA within the
existing legal boundaries?
b) If the CWA is currently or proposed to go outside the
boundaries, do we support or oppose that?
c) What would our position be on either (north or south) of
those boardwalks based on what we know if .
d) 1) Filling the tidal pool? 2) Filling the entire lagoon?
That was being proposed for one of the three reasons: 1)
water quality; 2) odor; and 3) Easier access to the
beach itself without having to walk around.
A motion was made to discuss these issues at the next EPTAB
meeting. Motion approved unanimously. The Ad Hoc committee
was directed to come back with recommendations on these
issues.
Mike Davis will inform BCC that EPTAB is still working on
the Sand Dollar Problem.
5. EPTAB was given handouts for the next meeting. Fran
Stallings suggested EPTAB look at materials and discuss
ranking of NRPA's at the next EPTAB meeting. Mr. Stallings
recommended that EPTAB consider Ten Thousand Islands or Clam
Bay as first NRPAs. Mr. Stallings also suggested that North
Golden Gate Estates might "kill" the NRPA program if listed
at the present time.
V. New Business: None
VI. Public Comments:
1. Ted Below further commented on Sand Dollar Island by stating
that the birds used the CWA and that he has counted birds in
that area for 21 years and has banded birds for the past 9
years. Mr. Below stated that the birds are not there at low
tide, thus, the public comment that they don't see any birds
at the CWA. Last census showed 2 , 000 shorebirds using the
CWA. Birds formally utilize the Caxambas spit, but it is no
longer in existence. Mr. Below stated that he has banded
the rare piping plover on Sand Dollar Island.
Chris Hagan asked the FGFWFC if they would rope off part of
the renourished beach if the birds adopted this area for
feeding. Col. Dunford replied that it is unlikely that the
birds would utilize an area occupied by people, however, if
the birds needed protection, this could happen.
Chris Straton suggested that the area needed more testing
for water quality. Jerry Neal replied that Pollution
Control Department would be asked to do more testing.
A motion was made to have the next meeting on December 20,
1993 , at 4 : 00. Motion was approved unanimously.
VII. Meeting adjourned 6: 00.
