Bill Lorenz explained to EPTAB members about the presentation
that was given to the four Commissioners concerning the
continued NRPA program. After a lengthy discussion by EPTAB
members, it was pointed out that staff needs to present an
overall picture of what needs to be protected by the NRPA
program, and that State and Federal agencies may only be
protecting 60% of the natural sensitive areas. Staff needs
also to show the Board that the NRPA program does not create
duplication of regulations. David Land pointed out that ST
designated lands need to be investigated to see if these
areas maintained their real estate value over the years.
David Maehr also pointed out that North Belle Meade and North
Golden Gate Estates areas do not have overlapping agency
regulations. Concern by Board members about 50%, public
ownership of Collier County also needs to be addressed by
staff.
Gary Beardsley asked for a vote on EPTAB support of NRPAS,
and David Land drafted a letter to the Board on EPTAB support
of NRPA program.
The letter to Kenneth Cuyler was discussed by EPTAB. The
letter was approved by EPTAB with amendments.
