MR. BOSI: Just to let the Planning Commission know, they did hear the Veterans
MemoriaUlivingston Road GMP amendment. They had a 4-l vote to transmit to the state. They did
impose a three-story height limitation. It would be what was proposed at four stories closest to
Livingston Road intersection, the Board ofCounty Commissioners incorporated a three-story limitation
on height. So that's going to be sent to the state and be brought back to the Planning Commission
probably sometime June, July at the latest.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Thank you.
MR. EASTMAN: Is that the Allura project?
MR. BOSI: Yes, Allura. And when it comes back, it will have the Allura PUD associated with
it, and the PUD will be probably the prominent focus ofthe adoption hearing.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Okay. Thank you.
No chairman's report. No consent agenda items.
So the only item on the agenda will be the l0-year water supply facilities work plan, and this is
the adoption hearing.
Sue?
MS. FAULKNER: Yes. Hi. I'm Sue Faulkner with Comprehensive Planning in the Zoning
Division.
Ijust wanted to kind of refresh everyone's mind, because it's been a few months since we saw you
on this project.
We came to you in December and asked if you would approve for the BCC to transmit the
petition to the Departuent of Economic Opportunity. You did do that unanimously in December, on the
6th, and the BCC had that on their summary agenda January 8th, and that was transmitted to the DEo,
Department of Economic Opportunity, at that time.
We're now coming back before you for the approval ofthe final water plan and the final changes
Page 3 of 7
April 4, 2019
to tlle text of the GMPA. The text changes for the GMPA are very simple. We're changing the date that
references the water plan in our public element -- our potable water sub-element of the Growth
Management Plan. The date that was in the previous plan was October of2013, and it will now be
changed to Febru ary 2019 .
We do have one other very teeny, tiny change that was made by the county attomeys to make the
language a little more clear, and that's in the sentence at the end ofthat one section of Policy 1.7, and it
reads, "The county's l0-year water supply facilities work plan is incorporated herein by reference." And
those are the two changes that have been made to Policy 1.7 ofthe sub-element.
And we're asking for you to approve and recommend to the BCC that this be transmitted, once
again, as a final approval to the DEO, and that's the action that should be taken today.
I know that you were interested in the water plan, and you had many recommendations for some
changes to the wording ofsome ofthe plan and how they were presented, some of tle tables and maps, et
cetera. And there's a person here named Tom Chmelik thafs here as the director of the Engineering
Division that is for Public Utilities, and he's going to make the presentation on the changes that occurred
in the water plan.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Okay. Thank you.
MR. CHMELIK: Yes, thank you. Tom Chmelik, engineering director, Public Utilities, for the
record.
I do have a presentation her€ that outlines some ofthe history Sue just explained and then the
changes. So ifyou'd like, the pleasure ofthe Board, I'll go forward with that.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Sure.
MR. CHMELIK: All right. Our objective today is, as Sue stated, that you adopt - recommended
adoption of the plan and transmittal ofthe GMPA on to the DOE.
Just summarizing the previous actions: This started in November of 2018 with our draft, and then
December of2018 was when we last visited you, and the result ofthat were several recommended
changes. And you did vote to forward this on to the Board of County Commissioners and eventually on
to the DOE.
So in December the comments and recommendation were received by the District, and then in
January the Board voted unanimously to tansmit the GMPA, the plan and a summary ofthe proposed
edits and changes.
In January, the GMPA and other documents were forwarded to the DEO, and in February we
received a letter ofno comment back as a response.
So our current status is in the report tlrat you have. It summarizes all the changes. There's two
versions there. There's the clean version and then a strikethrough and underline version showing the edits
in green and yellow.
So what I'd like to focus on now are really four areas that were highlighted when we were last
before you, and then we'll address each of those changes. The first one had to do with the differpnce in
the way population was reported in the AUIR and in this document, and they used different peaking
factors. It's historically the way it was done the year before, and you asked that we align these. So that
was done here. And you can see, when you compare one document to the other, now we do have the
capacities aligned and the populations, so they all match up.
And there was one discrepancy here. There was an erroneous piece of data reporting I 17 people
in Hyde Park Village which should not have been there. So that was cleaned up in the process.
The second item was to address the Marco Shores area and the way that was shown on our map.
It had been shown as unserved and, in reality, it was served. Although, in the future, six months or so, an
agreement will be approved. We suspect that we'll make that unserved again, but that's the extent ofthat
change.
And then the third one was talking about the per-capita use fttte and why it was higher than other
areas, and I can summarize that by saying that our service area includes a larger seasonal population, it
Page 4 of 7
April 4' 2019
contains a larger commuting workforce, there's a higher rate oftourism, there's more commercial activity,
and a higher proportion of customers who irrigate with potable water. So all those factors tend to increase
the per-capita use, and that is the explanation for the difference as was included in the report.
And, finally, the fourth area dealt with water loss, and it was noted that that water loss for 2017
was higher than pr€vious years at approximately 9 p€rcent where other years were in the 5 percent range,
and we have here a more detailed explanation of that discrepancy or change. And there were four really
big events that were unusual that happened in that year. One was Hurricane Irmq very unusual, which
caused more than 100 water-main breaks, 400 service-line breaks - that's the service line that goes to
your home - and damage to fire hydrants, and all ofthis basically reduced the pressure to nearly zero in
the system, and all that water was lost and not accounted for. So that was the hugest item.
The next is --
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Tom?
MR. CHMELIK: Yes, go ahead.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Could I ask questions now?
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Sure.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Just curiosity: How did Irma cause water-main and
water-service breaks? What was the mechanism?
MR. CHMELIK: Thanks for asking. Trees that are planted -
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Never mind.
MR. CHMELIK: -- close to the mains tipped over, broke the lines. That's one of the reasons we
request clearance from the water mains.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Okay. Thanks.
MR. CHMELIK: Okay. And then the other item was operational. We had a 36-inch water main
that was along Immokalee Road. It's a 6-mile-long run of pipe that's 36 inches in diameter, so that's a
really large volume ofpipe, and it had been inactive for many years, and it was brought into service in
2007. And that main had to be flushed repeatedly to get the water quality where it needed to be to put it
into service. And that waterjust kept having to be flushed, and that accounted for a large amount of loss.
And that third item was an unusually active wildfirc season, and a lot of water was used to
combat the fires throughout the eastem part of the county. So that was unusual, and then we also had two
large diameter water-main breaks, 48-inch, 36-inch, and that was near the intersection of I-75 and 95 I ,
and that had to be repaired and then flushed as well after that process.
So all ofthose activities really resulted in increasing that water-loss number in the 9 percent area;
however, in 201 8 that number's come down in the 6 percent range, and wehe going to continue to monitor
and address any potential losses in the system going forward.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Madam Chairman, may I ask a question?
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Sure.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Tom, on the previous slide - and I should have maybe asked it then -
MR. CHMELIK: Sure.
COMMISSIONER FRY: - you talked about -- you explained the difference between the
150 gallons per day for Collier County ve6us I think it was 75 and 8l for Immokalee and Ave Maria. So
it's way higher. And you gave the reasons on that slide.
There is - within the document, there's evidence that we are working to improve our reclaimed
water mechanism and use more and more reclaimed water for irrigation and such.
ls that 150 gallons per day anticipated to go down as those efforts are moved forward?
MR. CHMELIK: It would. If the - if there is more supply available to provide for irrigation,
irrigation-quatity water, that would drive down the number, as well as conservation.
COMMISSIONER FRY: ls the - the use of potable water for irrigation, would that be the
largest - do you know whether that might be the largest factor in a huge difference in the gallons per day?
MR. CHMELIK: Just a moment.
Page 5 of 7
April 4,2019
I don't tlrink we can say it's the larges! but it's really a combination ofall ofthese.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Okay. Thank you.
MR. CHMELIK: Thank you.
CTIAIRMAN HOMIAK: Are there any other questions, or do you need to go through this draft
again or -- no? Ned?
COMMISSIONER FRYER: No. Well, there's one reference that maybe could be cleaned up,
and that is on Page 158 of394, Packet Page 158, Document 3-1. ln the first full paragraph under - well, I
guess it's the second full paragraph under the new 3.1, there's a reference to the town of Rural Lands
West.
MR. CHMELIK: Oh, okay.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: That probably should be changed; should it not?
MR. CHMELIK: Yes, to River Grass Village.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Yeah.
MR. CHMELIK: Very good.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Thank you.
MR. CHMELIK: We will address tha! sir.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Patrick, do you have anything?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN; I do not.
CIIAIRMAN HOMIAK: Nobody has any other questions or --

CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Okay.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: I have a second.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Maybe I'll verbalize it.
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: I'm asking for a motion to adopt as the CCPC and the EAC.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: You want it -
CHAIRMAN HOMIAK: Separate motions, I guess.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Same motion or joint - separate orjoint?
CI{AIRMAN HOMIAK: Does it need to b€ separate?
