EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation. to review and approve the Parks and Recreation Master Plan prepared by
Tindale-Oliver and Associates,lnc. with the addition of citizen input meetings held April 6 and 7,
2011.' .
Obiective: To provide planning for future Parks and Recreation land acquisitions and facility
development.
Considerations: The Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) recognized the need for
a Parks Master Plan and based upon this recognition, within the Recreation and Open Space
Element (ROSE), Objective 3.1, required the development of a Parks Master Plart by 2010. As
part of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), which was adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on January 31, 2011, the referenced Objective 3.1 was designated for
revision based upon the anticipated approval of the Parks Master Plan. The adoption of the Parks
Master Plan will satisfy the local GMP requirement and the EAR evaluation.
As a segment of the MMP, the Parks and Recreation Department provided a notice to proceed
for Tindale-Oliver and Associates, Inc. on June IS, 2010 to guide the development of the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan which will be folded into the ongoing Collier County Master
Mobility Plan.

Productivity Committee Joint meetings, Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Study, Growth
Management Plan, Recreation and Open Space Element (ROSE), East of 951 Horizon Study,

trI Currently, nearly 7S of Collier County's residents are younger than age 65. Based on
previous the average age of Collier County residents is expected to Increase in the
with the of residents age 65 years and older. However, the overall
population of Collier County is to continue growing, and there is no supporting data to
that this trend will be sustained indefinitely. The trending age increases over the past
20 years are
attributed to the "babv boomerslJ
retirement age.
.. A comparison of age data between 1990 and 2009 indicates the foliowing:
There is an increased of residents under 5 years of age in the northwest area
ofthe county and a decreased in the urbanized area.
The area northeast of Naples has experienced a decline in the total percentage of
residents between 5 and 19 of age, whiie The Estates area has maintained a
consistently high percentage of residents between 5 and 19 years.

The need for a new community/fitness center and pool complex is based on the following:
" A community/fitness center would provide benefit to the current population within the
south/east Naples area. Demographic and socioeconomic data were reviewed specific to the
service area of this community center as outlined in the County's CDBG package.
.. The demographics within the immediate area
the need for a community center. The
area to be
by this community center is a lower income area, with a
person-per-
household and younger-aged residenIs.
@> While a swimming pool is currently unavailable, there is a splash park located at Eagle lakes
Community Parl<. Given the need for a center in this area and lack of available
funding both constructing and operating new county faciiities, priority for constructing
improvements at Lakes Community Park should be placed on the community/fitness
center. It should be noted that the of the held at the South

both recreation and educational Although the School District Board of Collier County is not
planning to construct any nevv schools in the near future, it is recommended that when new school
construction occurs, each new school site should be designed, and constructed to maximize
the potential for co-location of recreational and educational facilities.
Development of Manatee Community Park
Should Iv1anatee Community Park be as a passive park, it is likely that projected population
growth along the US 41 corridor the 10-Year ~/Iaster Pian horizon will require additional active
recreation such as athletic fields, hard courts, Park, etc., in this area, In addition,
football/soccer fields the existing north along US 41 (Le., Eagle Lakes and East f\laples
Community are currentlv over-utilized and therefore additional football/soccer fields are already
needed in this atea. Active facilities ate not part of the conceptual and do not appear
to be desired the majotity of attendees of the meeting at the South Regional Library. However,
based on the needs additional fields are currently needed to serve this area and
the need for additional active facilities will increase as population
in this area occurs.

5. Boat Launch and Boat Trailer Parking
Boat ramp lanes are not adequate for the peak periods of weekends and holidays for the
number of boat users in Collier County. Even with the additional new lane at Bayview ParK, the
County is operating with a two-lane deficit in 2011. This deficit will grow by one lane in 2013 to
2015 timeframe and increase to five additional ramp lanes in 2020.
Boat trailer parking presently Is inadequate, and even with programmed parking
the
County has a significant parking space deficit based on current ramp capacity. This deficit Is a
county wide average and does not account for peak usage or chronic shortages at popular ramp
locations such as Bayvlew, Caxambas, or Cocohatchee.
The County should continue to
pursue expanding the existing boat parks, parking,
and facilities where appropriate. Additionally, strategic acquisition of desirable boat launch sites
should continue.

Currentlv, the majority of the county's population lies west of CH 951 in what is the
more urbanized area. as shown, the highest concentration of growth over the next five years
is projected to occur in the Gate Estates area, then extending into the !mmokalee and {we Maria
areas in the subsequent period. The urbanized area is projected to a lower
population growth during the period.
It is important to look at not absolute growth, but also the in
population and housing unit densities. 2-4 and 2-5 illustrate the existing population density for
2010 and respectively. Overall, the County does not project a significant increase in its
densities over the next 10 years. Between 2010 and 2015, slight increases in densities are

The decennial Census
mapped at smaller
data in
units known as Block Groups, ailowing the data to be
intervals. Although the U.S. Census Bureau develops Interim estimates
for a number of its decennial Census variabies as part of the .American Community Survey (ACS), the ACS
not include data for units smaller than Collier County. Therefore, to analyze the
distribution of 2009 age data throughout Collier County, the 2009 age data by Census Block Group
developed by Environmental Research Institute is used.

The water access, and conservation land acreage and facilities available in Collier
County are documented in this section. However, the focus of this Master Plan is to Identify and
future needs related to user-oriented parks in Collier County. As will be discussed in this section, a
similar effort was done recently for water access locations, and the recommendations from that report
have been incorporated into this Master Plan. Whiie an abundance of resource-based park land,
conservation
is available in Collier County, this
of
land is not being considered
in the recommendations of this (v.aster Plan, as Collier

towards providing user-oriented

Collier County Boat and Access Report
In May 2011, Collier County released an updated Boat and Beach Access Report, the purpose of which is
to assess Collier County's performance in providing beach access and boat launch facilities to County
residents and visitors. The full 2011 Boat and Beach Access Report can be found in A.ppendix A..
The Boat and Beach Access Report looks at the
boat and beach access
and
capacity and !evel of service (LOS), The County's Growth
a LOS for water access acreage (i.e., acreage related to beach access
and access). Rather, water access acreage is induded under the county's

Management Plan does not provide a distinction between regional park acreage and acreage reserved
for beach and water access. HO'vvever, the 2010 AUiR does provide a Water Access LOS Guideline of one
access

5. Boat Launch and Boat Trailer Parking
Boat ramp lanes are not for the periods of weekends and holidays for the
number of boat users in Coliier County. Even with the additional neVlllane at Bayview Park, the
County is operating IIlJith a two-lane deficit in 2011. This deficit will grow by one lane in 2013 to
2015 timeframe and increase to five additional ramp lanes in 2020.
Boat trailer parking presently is inadequate, and even with programmed
increases, the
County has a significant parking space deficit based on current ramp capacity. This deficit is a
county wide average and does not account for usage or chronic shortages at popular ramp
iocations such as Bayview, or Cocohatchee.
The County should continue to pursue
and facilities where Additionally,
the existing boat
parking,
acquisition of desirable boat launch sites
should continue.

INTRODUCTION TO NEEDS ANALYSIS
The purpose of this section is to determine the needs of Coiiier County park land and recreation facilities
over the next 10 years. The needs analvsis consists of three parts:
..
of park land needs
of driving distance to
and recreation facilities (drive-time
..
e Current utilization of recreation faciiities
The results of the needs analysis will be used to develop the Master Plan recommendations. The results
of the needs analysis also will be compared to the input received from the focus group (disclissed in
Section 5) to validate the Master Pian recommendations or to determine if additional needs identified
the focus group should be considered.

miscellaneous grants; and parks and recreation impact fee revenue, which is used to fund
parks and recreation necessitated and new development. Impact fees for the
park system are to new residential development within both unincorporated
and incorporated Collier County, while impact fees for the Countls community park are
to new residential development within the
arca only.
Impact fces are the primary
source for non-beach access
parks and recreation projects.
Due to the economic downturn and slowed residential development, the has experienced a
decrease in and recreation impact fee collections over the past several vears, while a
need to delay capital as growth has siowed. The County currently estimates annual parks and
recreation impact fee collections of 7 million, although it should be recognized that actual coliections
for 2010 are
to be higher due to an
increase in residential

BOAT AND BEACH ACCESS REPORT
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the Boat and Beach Access Report is to assess Collier County's
performance in providing beach access and boat launch facilities to County residents and
visitors.
This report will identify the overarching complications involved with providing beach
access and boat launch services that keep up with demand, examine current level of
service standards adopted by Collier County and the recreation industry, inventory
current facilities and update the 1999 and 2003 Reports with regard to options and
inventories, and suggest options for future services and facilities.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
~
While the Gulf of Mexico is a vast but not unlimited resource for water-dependent
recreation, limited access to it limits the population's ability to use it. Sandy beach, on
the other hand, is a finite recreational resource even further limited by the constraints of
access, available parking and public facilities. The decreasing availability of adequate
public beach access and increasing cost of beach property exacerbate this issue. The
more access that is needed, the more difficult it is to find and afford.
The challenge is to provide adequate access 10 beaches and waterways which includes
available parking and public facilities without exceeding the canoying capacities of the
resources and thereby decreasing their desirability and worth.
LEVELS OF SERVICE
The Collier County Growth Management Plan outlines level of service standards
(LOSS) for parkland in two categories: community park acreage and regional park
acreage. Beach, beach parking and boating access acreage are included in the regional
park acreage measure for purposes of comprehensive plan concurrency. The
comprehensive plan requires no distinction between park acreage and acreage reserved
for beach and water access.
~
Water Access Level of Service is guidance defined in the 2009 AUIR as public beach
access points, boat ramps lanes, fishing access points, canoe/kayak launches, and any
other fresh or saltwater access facilities and recommended at a service level of 1: 1 0,000
residents. Currently, 79 Water Access points exist throughout Collier County and
represent a LOS of 1:4,239 residents (334,837 residents projected in 2010). Based on
this Level of Service guidance, Ninety Five (95) water access points will be required for
a build-out population of 950,000 in 2080.

Twenty three thousand one hundred and seventeen (23,117) vessels were registered in
Collier County in 2009 based on information obtained from the Tax Collectors office.
From 2002 to 2006 registered vessels steadily increased on average by 485 vessels per
year, maximizing out in 2006 with 24,708 vessels. Since then, vessel registration has
decreased on average by 530 vessels per year to its current level in 2009 of 23, 117.
Registered vessels are estimated to continue to shrink in 2010,2011 and 2012 by an
average of 265 vessels per year. This estimate represents half of the actual yearly
shrinkage experienced in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The number of registered vessels is
estimated to bottom out to 22,322 vessels in 2012 and then expected to increase by 1.5%
per year. A summary of vessel registration is listed in Table 2 below.

For years, it was estimated that less than 6,000 wet slips and less than 3,000 commercial
dry storage spaces were available for boat storage. This figure has been revised to
10,013 spaces in 2009 with the recent addition of Hamilton Harbor and pel111its issued
by the City of Naples, the City of Marco Island and Collier County since October of
2004. As a result, at least 13,104 vessels countywide (23,117 registered vessels less
10,013 wet/dry slips) are dependent on boat ramps for water access in 2009.
Average and Peak Rate Capacity Analysis
Collier County has used on average, 20 launches per vessel per year in calculating the
overall county launch demand. This estimate serves as a key assumption in calculating
current and future capacity and is supported by the following points:
1. The average boater launches/goes out every other weekend but misses a few
weekendslholidays due to poor weather.

2. The rule of thumb offered by an experienced Dock Master is that in the marina
business, you can expect five percent of your clientele to go out on any given
day. This equates to 18.5 trips per boat per year.
3. The 2009 Boater Characterization Study of registered boater within Collier
County identified based on 9,359 questionnaires mailed to ramp users; wet and
dry slip marina users; and home dock owners that boat usage within a 2,077
response group (22%) was 3.85 times per month or 46 times per year. This
group, we believe represents the most highly motivated boating public in the
County and sets the maximum cap for annual usage.
~
At an average of 20 launches per vessel per year, countywide facilities must be able to
accommodate 256,780 launches per year to meet demand. In 2011, each lane will
average 7,621 launches per year (251,480 launches per year/33 lanes) or 21 lane
launches per day.
These figures are in accordance with the recommendation of the Florida Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide of 2000, which suggests that a
single boat ramp lane can accommodate 36 launches per day (20 minutes total put-in and
pull-out time over a l2-hour period). These calculations are ideal numbers, however,
and do not provide for peak use times such as weekends and holidays, they spread usage
uniformly across all the boat ramps in the county and don't account for any boats from
outside the county.
--
Peak Rate Capacity Analysis
The Florida Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide recommends
that average peak use be calculated as folJows: Total user occasions are multiplied by 55
percent and divided by I I 1. This formula is derived from state park attendance, where
55 percent of the total annual attendance oCCULTed ove-r 111 days (52 \veeks rinles t\\"O
weekend days plus seven weekday holidays).
Table 3 summarizes Peak Rate Capacity Requirements.

Note-
1. Registered vessels are estimated to continue to shrink in 2010, 2011 and 2012 by an average of
265 vessels per year. This estimate represents half of the actual yearly shrinkage experienced in
2007,2008 and 2009. The number of registered vessels is projected to bottom out in 2012 to
22,322. Vessel growth after 2012 is projected at 1,5% per year.
2, Wet/Dry slip projections are constant at 10,013 through 2012 and then increase by 100 per year.
This projection is in anticipation of stronger environmental law and decreased availability of
undeveloped waterfront property from the annual historic increase of 140 Wet/Dry slips per year
from 2004 through 2008 based on the average number of permits issued by Collier County,
I\!aples and Marco Island,
As can he seen from Table 3, the recommended carrying capacity of 36 launches per
lane per day is exceeded during the peak times ofweekcnds and holidays. In 2010,
current demand requires that 36 lanes be available for peak periods (1,272 daily
launches divided by 36 launches per day per ramp). Our current capacity in 2011 is 33
ramp lanes.
Growth Considerations
,,-.,
The growth of boating countywide is a further consideration with regard to the level of
service County boaters can expect to experience. For the six years leading up to 2002,
the number of registered vessels in the county grew steadily at 1000 boats per year.
From 2002 to 2006 the average vessel growth rate slowed to 485 boats per year. In 2007,
growth turned negative and shrank on average by 530 vessels a year to where it
currently stands at 23,117 registered vessels in 2009, Registered vessels are estimated to
continue to shrink in 2010,2011 and 2012 by an average of265 vessels per year. This
estimate represents half of the actual yearly shrinkage experienced in 2007,2008 and

2009 and attempts to account for a difficult but improving economy within Collier
County. The number of registered vessels is projected to bottom out in 2012 to 22,322.
Vessel growth after 2012 is projected at 1.5% per year.
.---
Table 4 projects peak boat ramp lane deficiencies for the next ten years. As can be
seen, at 20 launches per boat per year the county is short 3 ramp lanes required to handle
the projected registered vessel volume in 2010. The ramp lane deficit decreases to 2 in
2011 with the addition of an additional ramp at Bayview Park.
The projected number of vessels using public boat ramps is expected to begin to increase
in 2013. Currently, few solutions exist for finding homes for these additional boats in
dry storage or wet slips. They will most likely become ramp users. Again at 20 launches
per boat per year, they will begin to require additional boat ramp lanes in 2013 to 2015
timeframe.

3. Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Boat launch facility is expected to be operational in 2014
adding an additional boat ramp lane.
Consequences of Adequate Parking
Observations reveal that where Collier County-run boat ramps are concerned, 36
launches per lane per day offer a generous launch and retrieval time. The problem
resides not in the carrying capacity of the ramp but of the parking area. County boat
ramp users can maximize a ramp's capacity with adequate boat trailer parking.
Table 5 illustrates the extent of parking available at some County facilities. Bayview
Park, at the end of its anticipated expansion in FY2012 along with Caxambas Park
ramp and Cocohatchee Park ramp are all parking limited facilities. Specifically
Bayview Park after expansion could accommodate 108 launches per day, but will
offer only 68 trailer parking spaces on-site. Inadequate parking at these parks limits
the effectiveness of these facilities. In Summary, Saltwater boat ramp parking
deficit is 149 spaces while the Freshwater parking deficit is 90 spaces.

Currently Lake Trafford and Golden Gate are the only freshwater boating ramps
available throughout the County.
---
Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Boat launch facility will be a fresh water facility
expected to come on line in 2014 and tailored to very shallow draft vessels requiring no
more than 4 feet of water. More access to fresh water may alleviate some of the burden
on existing saltwater facilities and, as the County population grows may generate
increasing demand of its own for freshwater facilities.
Beach Access throughout the County
Existing and Committed Beach Access
The State of Florida recommends a distance of one half-mile between sites for the
spacing of beach access points for state-financed beach restoration projects.
Collier County beaches offer a wide range of choices with regard to the frequency of
access points along its beaches. In general, State and County beach parks have more
sparsely spaced access points to maintain lesser density and a more natural beach
environment and experience. The City of Naples, on the other hand, maintains 34 of its
37 access points within a five-mile stretch of beach, allowing for a more urban beach
experience. County residents and visitors are well served by this variety, but to keep up
with demand the County should continuously seek ways to improve access, amenity, and
parking at its beaches.

Beach Parking
Even more than for boaters, a beachgoer's enjoyable day at the beach is only as
attainable as the nearest available parking space. Since the 2003 Boat and Beach access
report, Collier County has added 278 beach parking spaces to its inventory. Fifty-eight
(58) net spaces were added (75 added at Conner Park offset with the loss of 17 spaces at
the Bluebill access) and 220 at Vanderbilt Beach access with the addition of the parking
garage. Total spaces at County beaches with the completion of the Conner Park parking
addition will be 1,499. Spaces for the City of Naples have been verified at 1,305 and the
State of Florida beach parking has remained static at 355.

These population figures are for year round residents and do not reflect seasonal
residents. AI: 150 space-to-resident ratio was established as a goal by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board in 1999. This ratio compares the number of public parking
spaces to the population of the county. Revised population growth along with recent

1. Year round permanent population projections were only considered in the calculations.
Seasonal resident's usage. holidays and weekend demand have not been taken into
account and will likely tax parking availability especially at thc county's most popular
beaches. There will be times within certain communities and celiainly at the county's
most popular beaches when beach and parking capacity will be exceeded and parking
closed. However, a number of considerations improve the outlook where the County's
ability to provide sufficient parking for beach access is concerned.
· Some of the areas listed in Table 6 as partially inaccessible to the general public
nonetheless do serve a portion of the population. Residents of Pelican Bay,
Hideaway Beach, and Marco's Resident Beach enjoy a higher level of service than
the general public due to the semi-private nature and access of their beaches.
However, even these areas report inadequate capacity during peak use times.
· Additionally, thousands of residences in Collier County live west of Lely Barefoot
Boulevard, Gulf Shore Drive, Gulf Shore Boulevard, Gordon Drive, and Collier

~
Boulevard (Marco Island). The people who live in those residences do not need
parking accommodation because they live within walking distance of the beach.
Other Recreation
A final topic in assessing the County's levels of service with regard to beaches and
boating is the introduction of alternative recreational activities.
. Sugden Regional Park is home to the 60-acre Lake Avalon, which supports a
swimming beach and opportunities to participate in boating activities such as
canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, water skiing and sailing classes.
. Clam Pass Park, Margood, Golden Gate Community Park (future), Bayview,
Barefoot Beach Preserve and Gordon River Greenway Park offer canoe/kayak
launches.
. The North Collier Regional Park provides a water park with slides, a lazy river, and
children's activity pools-a perfect alternative to the beach for cooling down on a
hot day.
. The existing Golden Gate Aquatic Center, Immokalee Sports Complex, Splash parks
at Vineyards and Eagle Lakes Community Parks provide more choices, as well.
....-...
The County should continue to diversify the recreational activities it offers. Variety
builds the participant base and alleviates the burden on traditional resources such as
beaches.
PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The following is a summary of capital projects that have been approved by the Board
and are either in the planning, design or construction phases:
Bont Access Proiects
tI Bavview Boat Docks - This project will add an additional 52 boat nailer spaces to
this facility bringing the on-site total parking to 68 spots. Operational startup is
expected by the end of calendar year 2012.
. Bi!! Corkscrew Island Re!!ional Park - This Park will accommodate canoes,
kayaks and very shallow draft boats with trolling motors. This park is expected to be
completed in 2018 with lake access in 2014.
. Gordon River GreenwavPark - This Park will accommodate canoes and kayaks
and will be commissioned and open to the public in 2012.
. Mar!!ood Park - This Park will accommodate canoes and kayaks and will be
commissioned and open to the public in 2011.
. Cocohatchee Boat Parkin!! Expansion - Aqua Development as part of its Planned
Unit Development is required to add 20 boat parking spaces and 7 regular car
parking spaces to this park. The site plan was approved and the permit issued for this
work in 2007. Completion timing of this work is currently being discussed with the
developer.

Beach Access and Beach Park Facilities
.-.....
· Bluebill Road Beach Access and Bathrooms - This project will provide public
bathrooms and beach access at the end of Bluebill A venue. Parking will be provided
from Conner Park. This project should be completed in 2011.
· Vanderbilt Beach Road Restroom & Concessionaire - This project is in
design/permitting and will replace the existing restrooms at Vanderbilt Beach with a
new facility that would expand the restrooms and concession capabilities. This
project is expected to be completed in 2013.
· New Beach Park Facility at Clam Pass - A new facility is in the planning stages
that would provide passive shade structures and restrooms facilities 1,000 feet to the
south of the existing Clam Pass Facility. This facility would be accessed by tram
similar to the existing facility and provide additional beach access to the public.
This facility will require 3 years to plan, permit and construct.
· Ti2ertail Dune Walkover & Restrooms- This project will add an additional
bathroom facility at Tigertail Beach as well as a mangrove walkover. The dune
walkover is expected to be complete by 2011. The bathroom construction is
dependent on revised FEMA flood maps.
CONCLUSIONS
In summary, the levels of service that today's residents and visitors enjoy can be
summarized as follows:
~
1. Current boat ramp lanes provided within Collier County meet the non-peak level
of service capacity demands of the boating public through 2020. This assumes
that all of the public and private ramp lanes regardless of location. popularity or
weather accommodate the same daily volume throughout the year.
')
Thirty-thrce boat ramp lanes cannot handle the current peak day bout trafTic
generated within Collier County. Thirty-six boat ramp lanes are required to
handle the county's CUlTent boater needs. Boater demand will require an
additional lane be added in 2013 to 2015 timeframe. Demand will require five
additional ramp lanes to be added by 2020.
3. Inadequate boat trailer parking is further reducing the capacity of our launch
facilities. Currently, we have a 149 trailer parking space deficit at our saltwater
launch facilities. Acquisition of desirable boat launch sites with adequate trailer
parking should continue.
4. The number of beach parking spaces currently meets the 1: 150 parking spaces to
permanent yearly resident ratio recommended by the Park and Recreation
Advisory Board.
5. Over the next ten years, and especially on weekends and holidays, facility
demand will negatively impact the level of service that is currently provided.

~
There will be times especially at the County's most popular boat ramps and
beaches when parking capacity will be exceeded and facilities closed unless new
facilities and parking are developed.
6. Reductions in population growth projections along with support and funding
from the Board of County Commissioners to expand existing and provide new
boating/parking facilities have improved or at the very least maintained the Level
of Service to the residents of Collier County.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are areas within Collier County where improvements can be made in
addition to current projects to expand the access to open water and the beaches:
1. Barefoot Beach Preserve
Not exceeding the carrying capacity of this park is a primary objective because
of its status as a nature preserve. However, a dock and pier can be provided to
the inland side of the island to accommodate waterborne visitors while protecting
the beach and dunes. This area will also allow provide visitors a better view the
mangrove habitat, which presently is only accessible by canoe/kayak. Pick up
locations can be at Cocohatchee and Conner Parks.
....-...
2. Beach Access
Beach access can be viewed from two perspectives; the number and amount of
beach access points and the effectiveness of each of those locations. Although
no standards exist for the number of public beach access points a County should
have. Collier County has been aggressively working to increase the number and
location of its public beach accesses points. This however. has met with limited
success because of the high cost and 10\\' 3vai18bi11ty' of suit3blc locations.
Staff is recommending that the County continue to pursue its cunent acquisition
policy but at the same time aggressively peruse revisions to the Land
Development Code that pernlits greater public beach access.
3. Parking and Transportation Service for Beach Access
The number of beach parking spaces currently meets the countywide 1: 150
parking space to permanent resident recommended ratio suggested by the Park
and Recreation Advisory Board. If additional parking is required at our more
popular beach parks or during season the County should consider providing
beach access through a combination of:
o Explore an extended CAT operation along Gulf Shore Drive to increase
service to the beach access points along Vanderbilt Beach.
....-...
Collier County Boat and Beach Access Report
14
May 2011
Packet Page -513-
9/27/2011 Item 10.8.
o Develop a business plan to provide tram service during peak use periods
between Conner Park and the Vanderbilt Beach garage to feed our most
popular beaches using existing underutilized public access points.
~
4. Beach Parking Fees
Collier County has adopted a policy of free beach parking with a beach parking
pass. If this system were changed to require both residents and visitors alike to
purchase daily, monthly or annual passes then approximately $IM to $3M would
become available to fund the operational needs of meeting our existing and
future levels of service.
5. Boat Launch and Boat Trailer Parking
Boat ramp lanes are not adequate for the peak periods of weekends and holidays
for the number of boat users in Collier County. Even with the additional new
lane at Bayview Park, the County is operating with a two lane deficit in 2011.
This deficit will grow by one lane in 2013 to 2015 timeframe and increase to 5
additional ramp lanes in 2020.
Boat trailer parking is presently inadequate and even with programmed parking
increases the County has a significant parking space deficit based on current
ramp capacity. This deficit is a county wide average and does not account for
peak usage or chronic shortages at popular ramp locations like Bayview,
Caxambas or Cocohatchee.
~
The County should continue to assertively pursue expanding the existing boat
parks, parking and facilities where appropriate. Additionally, str3tegic
acquisition of desirable boat launch sites should continue.

<III Parking and additional bathrooms for beach parKs are needed.
... New athletic fields may help relieve some of the current utilization issues, reducing need for
them at Manatee Community Park, which was strongly opposed by meeting participants.
'" There is dearly a lack of available revenue for new parks projects and, while the County is
pursuing a grant for the construction of the community center at Eagle Lakes Community
there is a shortfall of needed funding for this project. There was discussion among the
and the BCC the use of ad valorem (dedicated millage) countywide or a
!v1unicipal Service Tenting Unit (rv1STU) to the residents benefiting from the Eagle Lakes
Community Park project. The example of Golden Gate Estates using an rv'lSTU to construct and
operate its community center was discussed as an example of this approach, though there was
some opposition to having a smaller group pay for a park project when they have also
historically paid for other parks used by residents in other areas (equality issue).

Corkscrevv Island Regional Park.
.. Though the priority of these two projects is influenced large!y by where the citizens live, overall
participants from both meetings recognized that both projects are needed to serve the nearby
families, youth, and residents.
co The majority of participants at the South Regional Library meeting were not in favor of
constructing active facilities at Manatee Community Park, citing the intrusion of lights and
loudspeakers, along with a lack of need due to the surrounding adult residential communities.
e Participants at both meetings recognized that there is currently little avaiiable funding for these
projects. While the County is pursuing a grant to fund the community center
at Eagle lakes Community Park, there are stili budgetary issues with this project, as well little to
no revenue available to begin construction at Corkscrew Island Regional Park.
e> Participants discussed the need to consider other revenue sources (such as a dedicated millage
or MSTU) to fund these sooner rather than later. However, there was concern over a
small number of citizens paying for a park when they have already contributed to other County
through impact fees and ad valorem taxes. Several participants stated that they would
not support increased taxes and should receive a share of what they have already contributed.

Continue to Optimize Interlocal Agreements for School Sites
Collier County Parks and Recreation Department and the School District Board of Collier County
currently have interlocal agreements at several school sites to maximize the use of county assets for
both recreation and educational racilities. Although the School District Board of Collier County is not
to construct anv new schools in the near future, it is recommended that when new school
construction occurs, each new school site should be evaluaTed! designed, and constructed to maximize
the for co-iocation of recreaTional and educational facilities.
Development of Manatee Community Park
Should Iv'lanatee Community Park be developed as a passive park, it is likely that projected
growth along the US 41 corridor beyond the 10-Year rViaster Plan horizon will require additional active
recreation facilities, such as athletic fields, hard courts, Splash Park, etc., in this area. In addition,

Not exceeding the capacity of this park is a primary objective because of its status as a

4. Beach Parking Fees
Collier County has adopted a policy of free beach parking with a beach parking pass. If this
system were changed to require both residents and visitors alike to purchase daily, monthly, or
annual passes, then approximately $lM to 53M would become available to fund the operational
needs of meeting existing and future levels of service.
5. Boat Launch and Boat Trailer Parking
Boat ramp lanes are not adequate for the periods of weekends and holidays for the
number of boat users in Collier County. Even with the additional new lane at the
County is operating with a two-lane deficit in 2011. This deficit will grow one lane in 2013 to
2015 timeframe and increase to five additional ramp lanes in 2020.
Boat trailer parking presently is inadequate, and even with programmed parking increases, the
County has a significant parking space deficit based on current ramp capacity. This deficit is a
county wide average and does not account for peak usage or chronic shortages at popular ramp
iDeations such as Bayview, Cai:ambas, or Cocohatchee.

Collier County
BOAT AND BEACH ACCESS REPORT
".-.....
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the Boat and Beach Access Report is to assess Collier County's
performance in providing beach access and boat launch facilities to County residents and
visitors.
This report will identify the overarching complications involved with providing beach
access and boat launch services that keep up with demand, examine current level of
service standards adopted by Collier County and the recreation industry, inventory
current facilities and update the 1999 and 2003 Reports with regard to options and
inventories, and suggest options for future services and facilities.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
While the Gulf of Mexico is a vast but not unlimited resource for water-dependent
recreation, limited access to it limits the population's ability to use it. Sandy beach, on
the other hand, is a finite recreational resource even further limited by the constraints of
access, available parking and public facilities. The decreasing availability of adequate
public beach access and increasing cost of beach property exacerbate this issue. The
more access that is needed, the more difficult it is to find and afford.
--..
The challenge is to provide adequate access to beaches and waterways v,hich includes
available parking and public facilities without exceeding the carrying capacities of the
resources and thereby decreasing their desirability and worth.
LEVELS OF SERVICE
The Collier County Growth Management Plan outlines level of service standards
(LOSS) for parkland in two categories: community park acreage and regional park
acreage. Beach, beach parking and boating access acreage are included in the regional
park acreage measure for purposes of comprehensive plan concurrency. The
comprehensive plan requires no distinction between park acreage and acreage reserved
for beach and water access.
Water Access Level of Service is guidance defined in the 2009 AUIR as public beach
access points, boat ramps lanes, fishing access points, canoe/kayak launches, and any
other fresh or saltwater access facilities and recommended at a service level of 1: 1 0,000
residents. Currently, 79 Water Access points exist throughout Collier County and
represent a LOS of 1:4,239 residents (334,837 residents projected in 2010). Based on
this Level of Service guidance, Ninety Five (95) water access points will be required for
a build-out population of 950,000 in 2080.

Twenty three thousand one hundred and seventeen (23,117) vessels were registered in
Collier County in 2009 based on information obtained from the Tax Collectors office.
--
From 2002 to 2006 registered vessels steadily increased on average by 485 vessels per
year, maximizing out in 2006 with 24,708 vessels. Since then, vessel registration has
decreased on average by 530 vessels per year to its current level in 2009 of 23, 117.
Registered vessels are estimated to continue to shrink in 2010, 2011 and 2012 by an
average of 265 vessels per year. This estimate represents half of the actual yearly
shrinkage experienced in 2007,2008 and 2009. The number of registered vessels is
estimated to bottom out to 22,322 vessels in 2012 and then expected to increase by 1.5%
per year. A summary of vessel registration is listed in Table 2 below.

For years, it was estimated that less than 6,000 wet slips and less than 3.000 commercial
dry storage spaces \vere available for boat storage. This figure has been revised to
10,013 spaces in 2009 with the recent addition of Hamilton Harbor and permits issued
by the City of Naples, the City of Marco Island and Collier County since October of
2004. As a result, at least 13,104 vessels countywide (23,117 registered vessels less
10,013 wet/dry slips) are dependent on boat ramps for water access in 2009.
Average and Peak Rate Capacity Analysis
Collier County has used on average, 20 launches per vessel per year in calculating the
overall county launch demand. This estimate serves as a key assumption in calculating
current and future capacity and is supported by the following points:
1. The average boater launches/goes out every other weekend but misses a few
weekendslholidays due to poor weather.

2. The rule of thumb offered by an experienced Dock Master is that in the marina
business, you can expect five percent of your clientele to go out on any given
day. This equates to 18.5 trips per boat per year.
3. The 2009 Boater Characterization Study of registered boater within Collier
County identified based on 9,359 questionnaires mailed to ramp users; wet and
dry slip marina users; and home dock owners that boat usage within a 2,077
response group (22%) was 3.85 times per month or 46 times per year. This
group, we believe represents the most highly motivated boating public in the
County and sets the maximum cap for annual usage.
At an average of 20 launches per vessel per year, countywide facilities must be able to
accommodate 256,780 launches per year to meet demand. In 2011, each lane will
average 7,621 launches per year (251,480 launches per yearl3 3 lanes) or 21 lane
launches per day.
These figures are in accordance with the recommendation of the Florida Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide of 2000, which suggests that a
single boat ramp lane can accommodate 36 launches per day (20 minutes total put-in and
pull-out time over a 12-hour period). These calculations are ideal numbers, however,
and do not provide for peak use times such as weekends and holidays, they spread usage
uniformly across all the boat ramps in the county and don't account for any boats from
outside the county.
".-.,
Peak Rate Capacity Analysis
The Florida Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide recommends
that average peak use be calculated as follows: Total user occasions are multiplied by 55
percent and divided by I II. This formula is derived from state park attendance, where
55 percent of the total annual attendance occurred 0\rer III days (52 \v'eeks lin1es 1\\/0
weekend days plus seven vveekday holidays).
Table 3 summarizes Peak Rate Capacity Requirements.

Note-
1. Registered vessels are estimated to continue to shrink in 2010,2011 and 2012 by an average of
265 vessels per year. This estimate represents half of the actual yearly shrinkage experienced in
2007,2008 and 2009. The number of registered vessels is projected to bottom out in 2012 to
22,322. Vessel growth after 2012 is projected at 1.5% per year.
2. Wet/Dry slip projections are constant at 10,013 through 2012 and then increase by 100 per year.
This projection is in anticipation of stronger environmental law and decreased availability of
undeveloped waterfront property from the annual historic increase of 140 Wet/Dry slips per year
from 2004 through 2008 based on the average number of permits Issued by Collier County,
Naples and Marco Island.
As can be seen from Table 3, the recommended carrying capacity of36 launches per
lane per day is exceeded during the peak times of weekends and holidays. In 20 10,
CUlTent demand requires that 36 lanes be available for peak periods (1,272 daily
launches divided by 36 launches per day per ramp). Our current capacity in 2011 is 33
ramp lanes.
Growth Considerations
The growth of boating countywide is a further consideration with regard to the level of
service County boaters can expect to experience. For the six years leading up to 2002,
the number of registered vessels in the county grew steadily at 1000 boats per year.
From 2002 to 2006 the average vessel growth rate slowed to 485 boats per year. In 2007,
growth turned negative and shrank: on average by 530 vessels a year to where it
currently stands at 23,117 registered vessels in 2009. Registered vessels are estimated to
continue to shrink in 2010,2011 and 2012 by an average of265 vessels per year. This
estimate represents half of the actual yearly shrinkage experienced in 2007,2008 and

2009 and attempts to account for a difficult but improving economy within Collier
County. The number of registered vessels is projected to bottom out in 2012 to 22,322.
Vessel growth after 2012 is projected at 1.5% per year.
Table 4 projects peak boat ramp lane deficiencies for the next ten years. As can be
seen, at 20 launches per boat per year the county is short 3 ramp lanes required to handle
the projected registered vessel volume in 2010. The ramp lane deficit decreases to 2 in
2011 with the addition of an additional ramp at Bayview Park.
The projected number of vessels using public boat ramps is expected to begin to increase
in 2013. Currently, few solutions exist for finding homes for these additional boats in
dry storage or wet slips. They will most likely become ramp users. Again at 20 launches
per boat per year, they will begin to require additional boat ramp lanes in 2013 to 2015
timeframe.

Consequences of Adequate Parking
Observations reveal that where Collier County-run boat ramps are concerned, 36
launches per lane per day offer a generous launch and retrieval time. The problem
resides not in the carrying capacity of the ramp but of the parking area. County boat
ramp users can maximize a ramp's capacity with adequate boat trailer parking.
Table 5 illustrates the extent of parking available at some County facilities. Bayview
Park, at the end of its anticipated expansion in FY2012 along with Caxambas Park
ramp and Cocohatchee Park ramp are all parking limited facilities. Specifically
Bayview Park after expansion could accommodate 108 launches per day, but will
offer only 68 trailer parking spaces on-site. Inadequate parking at these parks limits
the effectiveness of these facilities. In Summary, Saltwater boat ramp parking
deficit is 149 spaces while the Freshwater parking deficit is 90 spaces.

Currently Lake Trafford and Golden Gate are the only freshwater boating ramps
available throughout the County.
Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Boat launch facility will be a fresh water facility
expected to come on line in 2014 and tailored to very shallow draft vessels requiring no
more than 4 feet of water. More access to fresh water may alleviate some of the burden
on existing saltwater facilities and, as the County population grows may generate
increasing demand of its own for freshwater facilities.
Beach Access throughout the County
Existing and Committed Beach Access
The State of Florida recommends a distance of one half-mile between sites for the
spacing of beach access points for state-financed beach restoration projects.
~
Collier County beaches offer a wide range of choices with regard to the frequency of
access points along its beaches. In general, State and County beach parks have more
sparsely spaced access points to maintain lesser density and a more natural beach
environment and experience. The City of Naples, on the other hand, maintains 34 of its
37 access points within a five-mile stretch of beach, allowing for a more urban beach
experience. County residents and visitors are well served by this variety, but to keep up
with demand the County should continuously seek ways to improve access, amenity, and
parking at its beaches.

Beach Parking
Even more than for boaters, a beachgoer's enjoyable day at the beach is only as
attainable as the nearest available parking space. Since the 2003 Boat and Beach access
report, Collier County has added 278 beach parking spaces to its inventory. Fifty-eight
(58) net spaces were added (75 added at Conner Park offset with the loss of 17 spaces at
the Bluebill access) and 220 at Vanderbilt Beach access with the addition of the parking
garage. Total spaces at County beaches with the completion of the Conner Park parking
addition will be 1,499. Spaces for the City of Naples have been verified at 1,305 and the
State of Florida beach parking has remained static at 355.

Table 7 outlines the number of beach parking spaces per capita over the next ten years.
These population figures are for year round residents and do not reflect seasonal
residents. A 1:150 space-to-resident ratio was established as a goal by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board in 1999. This ratio compares the number of public parking
spaces to the population of the county. Revised population growth along with recent
parking additions satisfies parking needs until 2020 based on this ratio.

Note-
1. Year round permanent population projections were only considered in the calculations.
Seasonal resident's usage, holidays and weekend demand have not been taken into
account and will likely tax parking availability especially at the county's most popular
beaches. There will be times within certain communities and certainly at the county's
most popular beaches when beach and parking capacity will be exceeded and parking
closed. However, a number of considerations improve the outlook where the County's
ability to provide sufficient parking for beach access is concerned.
· Some of the areas listed in Table 6 as partially inaccessible to the general public
nonetheless do serve a portion of the population. Residents of Pelican Bay,
Hideaway Beach, and Marco's Resident Beach enjoy a higher level of service than
the general public due to the semi-private nature and access of their beaches.
However, even these areas report inadequate capacity during peak use times.

Boulevard (Marco Island). The people who live in those residences do not need
parking accommodation because they live within walking distance of the beach.
.-..
Other Recreation
A final topic in assessing the County's levels of service with regard to beaches and
boating is the introduction of alternative recreational activities.
. Sugden Regional Park is home to the 60-acre Lake Avalon, which supports a
swimming beach and opportunities to participate in boating activities such as
canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, water skiing and sailing classes.
. Clam Pass Park, Margood, Golden Gate Community Park (future), Bayview,
Barefoot Beach Preserve and Gordon River Greenway Park offer canoe/kayak
launches.
. The North Collier Regional Park provides a water park with slides, a lazy river, and
children's activity pools-a perfect alternative to the beach for cooling down on a
hot day.
. The existing Golden Gate Aquatic Center, Immokalee Sports Complex, Splash parks
at Vineyards and Eagle Lakes Community Parks provide more choices, as well.
The County should continue to diversify the recreational activities it offers. Variety
builds the participant base and alleviates the burden on traditional resources such as
beaches.
.-..
PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The following is a summary of capital projects that have been approved by the Board
and are either in the planning. design or construction phases:
Boat Access Projects
" Bavview Boat Docks - This project will acid an additional 52 boat trailer spaces to
this facility bringing the on-site total parking to 68 spots. Operational startup is
expected by the end of calendar year 2012.
. Bit! Corkscrew Island Re~:donal Park - This Park will accommodate canoes,
kayaks and very shallow draft boats with trolling motors. This park is expected to be
completed in 2018 with lake access in 2014.
. Gordon River Greenwav Park - This Park will accommodate canoes and kayaks
and will be commissioned and open to the public in 2012.
. Mart!ood Park - This Park will accommodate canoes and kayaks and will be
commissioned and open to the public in 2011.
. Cocohatchee Boat Parkint! Expansion - Aqua Development as part of its Planned
Unit Development is required to add 20 boat parking spaces and 7 regular car
parking spaces to this park. The site plan was approved and the permit issued for this
work in 2007. Completion timing of this work is currently being discussed with the
developer.

Beach Access and Beach Park Facilities
. Bluebill Road Beach Access and Bathrooms - This project will provide public
bathrooms and beach access at the end of Bluebill A venue. Parking will be provided
from Conner Park. This project should be completed in 2011.
· Vanderbilt Beach Road Restroom & Concessionaire - This project is in
design/permitting and will replace the existing restrooms at Vanderbilt Beach with a
new facility that would expand the restrooms and concession capabilities. This
project is expected to be completed in 2013..
· New Beach Park Facility at Clam Pass - A new facility is in the planning stages
that would provide passive shade structures and restrooms facilities 1,000 feet to the
south of the existing Clam Pass Facility. This facility would be accessed by tram
similar to the existing facility and provide additional beach access to the public.
This facility will require 3 years to plan, permit and construct.
· Ti2ertail Dune Walkover & Restrooms- This project will add an additional
bathroom facility at Tigertail Beach as well as a mangrove walkover. The dune
walkover is expected to be complete by 2011. The bathroom construction is
dependent on revised FEMA flood maps.

CONCLUSIONS
In summary, the levels of service that today's residents and visitors enjoy can be
summarized as follows:
1. Current boat ramp lanes provided within Collier County meet the non-peak level
of service capacity demands of the boating public through 2020. This assumes
that all of the public and private ramp lanes regardless oflocation, popularity or
weather accommodate the same daily volume throughout the year.
')
Thirty-three boat ranl}) lanes cannot handle the current peak day boat traffic
generated within Collier County. Thirty-six boat ramp lanes are required to
handle the county's cUlTcnt boater needs. Boater demand \vill require an
additional lane be added in 2013 to 2015 timeframe. Demand will require five
additional ramp lanes to be added by 2020.
3. Inadequate boat trailer parking is further reducing the capacity of our launch
facilities. Currently, we have a 149 trailer parking space deficit at our saltwater
launch facilities. Acquisition of desirable boat launch sites with adequate trailer
parking should continue.
4. The number of beach parking spaces currently meets the 1: 150 parking spaces to
permanent yearly resident ratio recommended by the Park and Recreation
Advisory Board.
~
5. Over the next ten years, and especially on weekends and holidays, facility
demand will negatively impact the level of service that is currently provided.

There will be times especially at the County's most popular boat ramps and
beaches when parking capacity will be exceeded and facilities closed unless new
facilities and parking are developed.
.-.....
6. Reductions in population growth projections along with support and funding
from the Board of County Commissioners to expand existing and provide new
boating/parking facilities have improved or at the very least maintained the Level
of Service to the residents of Collier County.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are areas within Collier County where improvements can be made in
addition to current projects to expand the access to open water and the beaches:
1. Barefoot Beach Preserve
Not exceeding the carrying capacity of this park is a primary objective because
of its status as a nature preserve. However, a dock and pier can be provided to
the inland side of the island to accommodate waterborne visitors while protecting
the beach and dunes. This area will also allow provide visitors a better view the
mangrove habitat, which presently is only accessible by canoe/kayak. Pick up
locations can be at Cocohatchee and Conner Parks.
.-.....
2. Beach Access
Beach access can be viewed from two perspectives; the number and amount of
beach access points and the effectiveness of each of those locations. Although
no standards exist for the number of public beach access points a County should
have. Collier County has been aggressively working to increase the number and
location of its public beach accesses points. This however. has met \vith limited
success because of the high cost and 10\\' aV2ilability of suitable loc~]tjons.
Staff is recommending that the County continue to pursue its cun'ent acquisition
policy but at the same time aggressively peruse revisions to the Land
Development Code that permits greater public beach access.
3. Parking and Transportation Service for Beach Access
The number of beach parking spaces currently meets the countywide 1: 150
parking space to permanent resident recommended ratio suggested by the Park
and Recreation Advisory Board. If additional parking is required at our more
popular beach parks or during season the County should consider providing
beach access through a combination of:
o Explore an extended CAT operation along Gulf Shore Drive to increase
service to the beach access points along Vanderbilt Beach.
.-.....
Collier County Boat and Beach Access Report
14
May 2011
Packet Page -592-
9/27/2011 Item 10.8.
~
o Develop a business plan to provide tram service during peak use periods
between Conner Park and the Vanderbilt Beach garage to feed our most
popular beaches using existing underutilized public access points.
4. Beach Parking Fees
Collier County has adopted a policy of free beach parking with a beach parking
pass. If this system were changed to require both residents and visitors alike to
purchase daily, monthly or annual passes then approximately $IM to $3M would
become available to fund the operational needs of meeting our existing and
future levels of service.
5. Boat Launch and Boat Trailer Parking
Boat ramp lanes are not adequate for the peak periods of weekends and holidays
for the number of boat users in Collier County. Even with the additional new
lane at Bayview Park, the County is operating with a two lane deficit in 2011.
This deficit will grow by one lane in 2013 to 2015 timeframe and increase to 5
additional ramp lanes in 2020.
.-.....
Boat trailer parking is presently inadequate and even with programmed parking
increases the County has a significant parking space deficit based on current
ramp capacity. This deficit is a county wide average and does not account for
peak usage or chronic shortages at popular ramp locations like Bayview,
Caxambas or Cocohatchee.
The County should continue to assertively pursue expanding the existing boat
parks, parking and facilities where appropriate. Additionally. strategic
acquisition of desirable boat launch sill'S should continue.
