EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ADA-2007-AR-12714 Sandra Clancy-Koendarfer, represented by Ben Nelson of Nelson
Marine Construction, Inc., is requesting an appeal ofBD-2007-AR-12154 which was denied
by the Collier County Planning Commission on December 6, 2007
OBJECTIVE: The petitioner has filed an appeal to the decision of the Collier County Planning
Commission (CCPC) pursuant to their denial of the petitioner's boat dock extension application
which occurred at properly noticed public hearing on December 6, 2007. The Collier County
Land Development Code (LDC) requires that upon hearing of a requested appeal that the Board
of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals (BZA) shall affirm, affirm with conditions, reverse or reverse
with conditions the action of the Planning Commission.
CONSIDERATIONS: The petitioners have filed a timely appeal pursuant to Section 5.2.11 of
the "old" LDC (Ordinance No. 91-102) which was subsequently amended in 2004. The "new"
LDC (Ordinance No. 04-41) omits Section 5.2.11 and 2.6.21.3 of Ordinance No. 91-102 relating
to the process by which a petitioner may appeal the decision of the CCPC and thus causes a
conflict pursuant to Paragraph Five, conflict and severability, of Ordinance No. 2004-41 as
amended, which provides that the provisions of the previously adopted LDC shall apply in the
even of such a conflict. Therefore, pursuant to the (former) section 5.2.11 and 2.6.21.3 of
Ordinance No. 91-102, the applicants are appealing the CCPC's denial of their request for a 17-
foot boat dock extension to authorize a 37- foot boat dock facility in an RSF -4 Zoning district.
The subject property is located at 243 6th Street, further described as Lot 10, Block E, Little
Hickory Shores, Unit No.2, according to the plat thereof, of record in Plat Book 3, Page 79, of
the Public Records of Collier County, Florida, Section 05, Township 48 South, Range 25 East.
The petitioners brought forward a petition for a boat dock extension to the CCPC, who has final
approving authority for boat dock extensions. The applicants requested a 17-foot boat dock
extension from the maximum permitted protrusion of 20 feet for waterways greater than 100 feet
in width, to allow the construction of a boat docking facility protruding a total of 37 feet into a
waterway that is 640 feet wide to allow the mooring of one vessel. The purpose of the request
was to replace the existing dock with a new dock consisting of a 4-foot by IS-foot walkway
leading to a IO-foot by 20-foot platform with a boat lift to accommodate one vessel. The facility
was proposed to protrude a total of 37 feet into a waterway which is 640 feet wide. The CCPC
staff report and the minutes of the meeting are attached as exhibits to this executive summary.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Plan impact. It is
anticipated that approval or denial of this appeal will not affect the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This appeal is governed by the Order of Appearance and Time
Limitation provisions of Resolution Number 98-167 attached as part of the agenda package. The
Resolution provides that staff should make its presentation first, however that practice has been
modified over the years with the applicant, or in this case the appellant, going first. Then staff
has the opportunity to make its presentation. Thereafter, if there are any registered speakers, they
Agenda Item No. 7 A
April 22. 2008
Page 2 of 69
may present. The appellant then has an opportunity to present its rebuttal. Staff, upon
conclusion of the rebuttal, may ask and be allowed to point out any errors in fact or law in the
appellant's rebuttal. After all presentations have been made, tbe Board may ask questions and
make comments.
The time limits for presentations are as follows:
1. Appellant - 20 minutes, entire case
2. Staff - 20 minutes
3. Anyone else - 5 minutes each speaker, maximum
The factors that the CCPC considered as to whether or not to grant the subject boat dock
extension are as follows:
1. Primary Criteria:
a. Whether the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is appropriate in relation to
the waterfront length, location, upland land use, and zoning of the subject property.
Consideration should be made of property on unbridged barrier islands, where vessels are the
primary means of transportation to and from the property. (The number should be appropriate;
typical, single-family use should be no more than two (2) slips; typical multi-family use should
be one (1) slip per dwelling unit: in the case of unbridged barrier island docks, additional slips
may be appropriate).
b. Whether the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the general length,
type, and draft as that described in the petitioner's application is unable to launch or moor at
mean low tide (ML T). (The petitioner's application and survey should establish that the water
depth is too shallow to allow launching and mooring of the vessel(s) described without an
extension).
c. Whether the proposed dock facility may have an adverse impact on navigation within an
adjacent marked or charted navigable channel. (The facility should not intrude into any marked
or charted navigable channel thus impeding vessel traffic in the channel).
d. Whether the proposed dock facility protrudes no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the
width of the waterway, and whether a minimum of fifty (50) percent of the waterway width
between dock facilities on either side of the waterway is maintained for navigability. (The
facility should maintain the required percentages).
e. Whether the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the facility
would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. (The facility should not interfere with the
use oflegally permitted neighboring docks).
2. Secondary criteria:
a. Whether there are special conditions, not involving water depth, related to the subject
property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and location of the proposed dock
facility. (There must be at least one (I) special condition related to the property; these may
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22, 2008
Page 3 of 69
include type of shoreline reinforcement, shoreline configuration, mangrove growth, or seagrass
beds).
b. Whether the proposed dock facility would allow reasonable, safe access to the vessel for
loading and/or unloading and routine maintenance, without the use of excessive deck area not
directly related to these functions. (The facility should not use excessive deck area).
c. For single-family dock facilities, whether the length of the vessel, or vessels in combination,
described by the petitioner exceeds fifty (50) percent of the subject property's linear waterfront
footage. (The applicable maximum percentage should be maintained).
d. Whether the proposed facility would have a major impact on the waterfront view of
neighboring waterfront property owners. (The facility should not have a major impact on the
view of a neighboring property owner).
e. Whether seagrass beds are located within 200 feet of the proposed dock facility. (If seagrass
beds are present, compliance with subsection 5.03.06(H)(2). of this LDC must be demonstrated).
f. Whether the proposed dock facility is subj ect to the manatee protection requirements of
subsection 5.03.06(E)(lI) of this LDC. (If applicable, compliance with section 5.03.06(E)(11)
must be demonstrated).
Based upon its review of the record of the CCPC hearing and the testimony and other materials
presented as part of the appeal, the Board is authorized to affirm, affirm with conditions, reverse
or reverse with conditions the action of the CCPC (the action being appealed).
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The
CCPC does not hear appeal requests; that is only a function of the Board of Zoning Adjustment
and Appeals.
RECOMMENDATION: It is staffs opinion that the Boat Dock extension petition meets the
required minimum criteria for approval as set forth in the CCPC staff report, attached to this
appeal application. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board of Zoning Adjustment and
Appeals overturn the Planning Commission's denial ofBD-2007-AR-12154 thereby granting the
Boat Dock extension petition. When an appeal is filed for applications upon which the CCPC
has the final decision making authority, the Collier County Land Development Code requires
that the BZA shall affmn, affirm with conditions, reverse or reverse with conditions the action of
the Planning Commission.

STATEMENT FOR APPEAL
The basis for our appeal of the denial of the variance for protrusion of a single family dock and boat
lift further than 20' into the water is that the Planning Commission failed to verbalize the specific
reason for denial during conversation or in their motion and ignored the county criteria for
consideration and approval of such variances, and the evidence that was presented. We presented as
the applicant, substantial and competent evidence that we met all criteria for approval. The Counties
own staff agreed and recommended approval. Although an adjacent neighbor complained, no relevant
testimony was presented to support his assertions nor was there any credible evidence presented that
applied to the criteria as laid out in the process.
The result is that instead of being offered relief in the form of a variance, my client was handed down
an arbitrary denial which ignored the pertinent facts, the professional staff recommendation, and
substantial, supportive evidence and did so without apparent cause or reason.
Therefore, I would ask the County Commission to review the evidence, listen to its staff, reverse this
decision, and allow my client to have safe and reasonable boat access to her property. I would also
request you waive or refund the fee for this appeal.
In addition to the adverse affect on my client, this decision will have a chilling effect which will cause
people to avoid the process and instead moor their boats in shallow water causing untold
environmental and property damage. 1 do not believe that this is the goal of the citizens and the
Commissioners of this County.

SUMMARY
The primary criteria was met because:
. We are consistant with single family uses in the area.
. The water depth as proved by a professional surveyor is to shallow without the
vanance.
. The waterway is 690' across and the dock and lift would not cause a navigational
hazard.
. The dock protrudes less than 25% of the width of the waterway.
. The dock and lift will not interfere with the use of neighbors docks.
The secondary criteria was met because:
. Although there are no seagrass beds or mangroves, there are oysters.
. The proposed design allows for reasonable, safe access without excessive size.
. Proposed boat length is less than 50 % of property width.
. Proposed facility would not have a major impact on the neighboring waterfront
Views.
. There are no seagrass or manatee protection requirements.

With that, are there any disclosures on the part of the planning
commission?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, how about let's swear in those
that are wishing to speak on behalf of this petition. I did it backwards.
(Speakers was duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you. And with that, we'll ask the
applicant for a presentation.
MR. NELSON: Good morning -- or good afternoon, whoops,
there we go. Thank you for your patience this morning. I appreciate
the job you're doing up there, and I have a real appreciation of what
you do, actually.
The applicant, Mrs. Koendarfer, and her husband, what their
plan is here, if you have drawings that show that, is that they want to
replace an existing dock that extends approximately 20 feet out into
the water and is approximately 15 foot from the property line. They
want to replace that with a dock that extends 25 feet out into the water
and has a boat lift on the front of it.
So actually, and I will put this on -- what this drawing does, this
drawing shows the existing dock lighter and it shows the proposed
dock right there.
And also, you're going to notice here -- also you'll notice here
that this is the adjacent property owner. There is the approximate
location of their porch on this side. And this is kind of a line of view
that would go across from this corner over across where the existing
dock is.
And because we've moved this other dock, this is what our
recommendation to the client was, was also to move it over to where it
was a conforming dock to where it was 25 feet off instead of 15 feet
off. And the actual dock extends only about five feet out further than
the existing dock.
So instead of putting a boat lift right in front of this dock, we
Page 105
. .
Agenda Item No. 7A
April.22..Z.0.oa.
Decemb~gt),1 ZMf89'
decided to redo the dock, move it over, go out five more feet to get to
the better water depth, and then add the lift onto it. And that's
essentially it for the boat dock.
I'd just like to comment on the reasons for doing this. Naples and
Collier County, I think you've all been at the forefront of maintaining
in front of these -- in these natural areas, and even on canals,
maintaining a good benthic resource in front of these walls. And one
of the ways to do it is that back in the past, even on the bays, when
somebody would put a seawall in they would dig it out and dig it out
to depth, and then you would have nothing in front of these seawalls.
And I think that, like I said, Naples and Collier County has been
at the forefront of maintaining these now.
And this wall here, the existing wall has some rip-rap at the base
of it. It has a nice gradual slope. It has some benthic resources, which
would be some oyster shells and some other things out.
And we have an aerial that really kind of shows -- I hope it
shows up. I think you can see on -- maybe you can see. Really light,
you can see where this -- the bar comes out right here, the actual
water, edge of the water that's the deep water. You can see the rip-rap
at the base of the wall, just behind the dock, and you can see this edge
of this water. That's what we're trying to get out in front of, well in
front of, because that's at the end of where those resources are.
So anyway, the goal was to go ahead and get enough water
depth to where we would have adequate water depth for the boat that
they presently have and for the future boat lift, and also to move it
away from the adjacent property owner so that it wouldn't be as much
in the view there.
And basically I think that's all I have to say, unless you have
some questions.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ms. Caron, then Mr. Murray.
COMMISSIONER CARON: How will you affect -- by moving
this dock, how will you affect those oyster beds that are there?
Page 106
Agenda Item No. 7A
D ~l?!i!-22_ZOAa.
ecemUQgll)j 'XM1jg
MR. NELSON: What we're doing is we're going out, we're
going further out over that. The walkway will be in a different area,
but going out further out is the best way to do it, because what we're
trying to do is to get the boat into an area to where we won't disturb
any of that.
The worst problem that we have in a lot of these shallow water
areas, if you put your dock in too shallow water, you know that
automatically your client is going to be prop dredging, trying to move
oyster shells out of the way of the boat. The boat lift is going to
continually bottom out and you're going to cause turbidity and all
types of stuff.
So really, long-term solution, the best way to do this is to go
ahead and go out to deeper water so that boat never does kick up
turbidity, it allows that bottom to go ahead and be a good part of the
ecosystem there. So that's our goal.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: The picture that we're looking at
right now on the visualizer, the -- that's the present boat dock, is it
not?
MR. NELSON: Yes, sir. And there's a boat moored at the front
of it.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I see that, yes.
And you have a line that you put on there that shows the person's
vision from the next door; is that correct?
MR. NELSON: Approximately, yes.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Well, if you were to
superimpose the new dock and push that boat out the distance
associated with the new dock, wouldn't that line of vision be
obstructed?
MR. NELSON: Well, what happens is, though, we come another
10 feet this way. So if we go from here, the actual dock would be out
another five feet. So that line would be right about there, would be
Page 107
. "
Agenda Item No. 7A
April.22A:W~a.
DecembemeJ~W
exactly where the front of the boat would be.
So actually, it wouldn't be any -- and that's what we showed on
the previous drawing.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Well, that's what I'm relating to.
The previous drawing, when ~- because you didn't have it marked off
for the new location. Why don't you put that back up then, please.
And I'm not disagreeing with you, I just want to be clear on it
because of the old dock.
MR. NELSON: So here's the old dock right there.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: The old dock there. And you're
saying to me that's being moved five feet; is that it?
MR. NELSON: We've moving it actually--
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Ten feet --
MR. NELSON: Ten to 12 feet, actually, because this dock
actually goes at an angle here.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay, you're making me feel
more comfortable when you use the word 12, maybe even 13. Because
I would say to you if you're going to be concerned for the vision of the
people next door, then you need to come more center to the property.
MR. NELSON: Right. And like I said, this dock comes at an
angle. So it's 10 feet here, but actually if you go out here where the
riparian line is, it moves over some. And if you recall, the boat -- the
boat -- actually, I'm going to draw on this. The front of the boat was
actually right there.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Yeah, I appreciate it. That's what
drew my attention to it, especially when you put a lift on there and
that size boat.
MR. NELSON: And so when we get over into this area, the boat
would be approximately like this.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Thank you.
MR. NELSON: So I don't think that -- I really think there's a
good argument to be made that it doesn't worsen that part of that view.
Page 108
Agenda Item No.7 A
Decem~(;j2~~
But I think really that my concern when we design these things
is that I think that we need to look at the environmental challenges
here first, that we really need to start taking better care of our
resources.
So far as dredging in these areas, really the DEP or anything,
they're not going to allow you to do any dredging here, mainly
because you have an option. They're going to tell you go out a little
further and don't do any harm to the environment and keep this littoral
zone intact right here.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ms. Caron?
COMMISSIONER CARON: The proposed deck area, it is
essentially doubling in size. Is that necessary? Or could you lessen the
overall extension by making that, the proposed platform, narrower?
MR. NELSON: Well, you certainly could narrow it up. I would
say that the waterward section of that, the waterward line, the edge of
the boat lift needs to stay where it is. But I think that you could narrow
that dock up. In other words, right where the boat is moored out is the
important point to get to.
So you could go eight feet with it, you know, and narrow it up
by two feet, but it would actually be the back that moves towards the
open water, if you see what I mean. Where the boat actually sits is the
important part for the mooring. And maybe I can show you on the
drawing.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Okay, because you do actually
have depth there now. I mean, all you have to do is take a look at your
neighbor to the east. They're only 19 feet out and they've got a lift and
they're --
MR. NELSON: But if you'll look at this aerial again, you can
see -- you see this line, and I'm going to draw the line along the edge
of that. Thanks.
You'll see it actually curves like this. And I'm not sure what the
water depth is like in this in here, but I have an idea by looking at the
Page 109
. ,
Agenda Item No. 7A
April)2...2.QOJl...
DecembOO<bj EiMtJIll3/
back end of this that it's probably not -- I know it's not as good as the
water depth out here.
And if you come back into here, we have a topographical survey
that shows that the existing dock, the front is like .3 to .35. That's
really not quite adequate for the type of boat that we visualize being
moored here. And we would rather be in that minus four to minus five.
And I think a lot of you, when you see these come in, that's
generally the goal, is to be at that minus four to minus five. Especially
when you have a boat lift, and that boat lift cradle itself can be
anywhere from 10 inches thick to 12 inches thick to support that boat.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Well, again, one of the things we
were trying to protect in these waterways here, because we're in a
shallow backwater area, is that we don't have boats that are too large
for the backwaters.
MR. NELSON: Right.
COMMISSIONER CARON: And so by moving out to a depth
that will just allow you to have a larger boat is not a goal for this panel
or, you know, should it be. We shouldn't be lessening our standards
just to accommodate larger boats in an area where it may not be
appropriate.
MR. NELSON: I agree. And I don't think that this lessens the
standards at all. I really don't.
COMMISSIONER CARON: I'm comfortable with what I see.
MR. NELSON: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: This is -- waterway is 640 feet wide
there?
MR. NELSON: It's 640 feet, approximately.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And you're looking at 37 feet.
Have your neighbors complained?
MR. NELSON: I think we have had a complaint about the view.
That's why I mentioned the view. The neighbor to the east has made a
complaint about the view there. And that's why I put this drawing up.
Page 11 0
Agenda Item No. 7A

And I know that there's concern, and I'm not going to say that
the neighbor shouldn't be concerned. I mean, neighbors have a right to
be concerned, so I don't want to -- I just want to show you on this
drawing, this is their boat dock right here. This is different for me
here. Sorry. There we go.
This is their boat dock right here. This is their porch and their
lanai right here.
And I think their concern was is that because if we went straight
out with this dock right here the way it was, it was going to get further
into this view. But actually -- and I'm not sure that they were aware of
it or not, they may have well been aware of it, but we are moving it
over, too.
So I think the line of view -- I think a good argument is to be
made is that because of that, we're going to stay approximately in the
same line of view as we are now.
And if you'll notice right here, we have some photographs, but
right in here, the reason that we don't crowd this over, right in here
there's a lot of vegetation. Pretty substantial vegetation right along this
site here that pretty much blocks this view here, the upland view. So
that's why we drew this line across the bow of this.
This one is probably more of the concern. And because of where
their own boat dock is right here, we kind of drew the line across from
where that blocked that view.
So I don't know if that's a fair representation or not, but it's the
best I could come up with.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Are there any other questions?
Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And Ray, this is kind ofto you,
is that given them the larger deck area, it would be nice if they would
cover it. There's nothing we do today that gives them the ability to put
a boathouse cover on it or something; isn't that right?
MR. BELLOWS: That's correct.
Page 111
Agenda Item No. 7A

DecemlftlJle()l,8:.6W7
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So they would have to come
back if they wanted to do that?
MR. NELSON: Absolutely. And then I think the county's
criteria on boathouses and the setbacks on boathouses and the criteria
for view really comes into play majorly then.
So I would see little or no chance of that happening.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Any other questions of the applicant?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Is there a staff report?
THE COURT REPORTER: May I have your name, please?
MR. NELSON: Oh, I'm sorry.

MR. WELCH: Thank you for seeing me. I appreciate it.
THE COURT REPORTER: Were you sworn in?
Page 112
Agenda Item No. 7 A
April 22, ~Ojlll
DecemBlN"6~ WfJ7
MR. WELCH: No, I wasn't.
(Speaker was duly sworn.)
MR. WELCH: I have three current pictures, one, two, three, that
will make some sense. And I also took the liberty of taking the Collier
appraiser's.
I'm not a public speaker, but I'm rather confused why a 37-foot
protrusion is necessary when the maximum permitted protrusion is 20
feet as the norm.
As the three pictures demonstrate, in my opinion, you know, the
docks all along the side are not protruding 37 feet, and they're
considerably large boats connected to them, as my neighbors, which
has a V -bottom boat and doesn't have the need to be out that far.
In my opinion, this wil11eave -- it will have a major impact on
my westerly view and sunsets I look forward to.
As I see it, there will be a boat hoisted on a lift 25 to 37 feet out
in the water, which I think also compromises the existing customary
channel of navigation, which is along the seawall. I don't understand
why it's necessary to hoist the boat 25 feet from the seawall, as the
pictures show. Other boats are not.
I would appreciate clarification on the purpose. I haven't gotten
it with the depth. I'm asking members of the board to consider the
relevance of size of dock versus depth of water. It appears to me that
three-and-a-half feet at low tide is plenty of depth for a vessel.
I'm also questioning why depth was measured at my property
line, as shown in Nelson's rendering, rather than petitioner's proposed
site of construction.
To this end, I ask that the present character and simplicity of the
neighborhood be preserved. I just don't understand the need for a boat
lift 25 feet from the seawall. I do not see on the documents what the
total elevation of the boat lift will be out there, 25 to 37 feet out.
I'm also concerned that at a future date another lift could be
installed along the 15-foot walkway, which would further impede our
Page 113
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22, ;l,Ollt/
Deceme0F'(j~ 'iJ007
View.
This graph paper, I represented a foot by each block, and I
actually drew it out exactly the way it comes out to show as it would
be rendered, because I couldn't understand the Nelson Marine
rendering per square footage. So I went and did one myself. And as
you can see, there's a considerable impact on view.
I would just ask if this must be approved, I'm going to request
that the dock be placed further west of my property in preserving my
westerly view, which I cherish greatly and why I chose to be at this
location.
It seems this raises the bar for allowed protrusions. There are
three other protrusions in the bay. One is a public dock, and two of
them are for a condo association at the end of the bay. Other than that,
they don't protrude out this far. For one boat on a lift, it seems like a
considerable amount of protrusion into the bay.
I took the picture also, the boat that's there drafts approximately
six inches. I draft approximately one foot with my boat. And it's no
difficulty, you know, being close to the seawall as I am. That boat
right there is a 17-foot boat that I have, and it draws a foot of water.
Pontoon boats typically draw six inches of water.
And I would ask that the board consider either relocating it
further west or maybe by the side of the dock, rather. But the depth, I
question how the depth would come about, because I stand in the
water out there. Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Sir, I have a question. You had -- the
last photograph you showed, I mean, I'm trying to figure out where it
is, because the -- maybe you could show it, it was number three, you
had a number three up in the corner of it. There it is.
That picture shows a canal. Where is that in relationship to this
facility?
MR. WELCH: The canal starts about four or five homes down.
My neighbor is still on the bay, as I am.

Decemt;V~l 0007
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, I was confused. I remember
seeing the diagram that shows a 640-foot deep bay, and that's why I
couldn't figure out where the canal occurred.
Are there any other questions of the gentleman?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: I do, Mark.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Is your concern -- in other
words, there's a couple dimensions that are important. One is to the
edge of the dock itself and then one is to the outside, you know, edge
of the lift. Is your concern more to the edge of the dock or the whole
thing out to the outside edge?
What he's asking for, his dimensions are to the outer edge of that
lift, which is 37 feet. If he pulled the whole thing coming in, what kind
of a number would make you comfortable?
MR WELCH: Well, if the issue is the depth of the boat, if it was
on the side of the dock, that would be perpendicular to the seawall.
That would be one issue.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Correct.
MR. WELCH: But I don't understand the need to go out that far.
I'm confused, because I stand in the water, I know it's deep enough. I
have -- I know what my area is. And by the county's picture, I know
that there's that band that goes around it, goes against the seawall, but
I also know that if you look at that, that's what I'm going to have to
look forward to in reality, not that sketch that I saw from Nelson
Marine.
And I drew that out, hand sketched one foot for every block.
And that's what I'm going to be looking at, 37 feet out, God knows
how high in the water -- out of the water.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: But how many people -- it looks
like the existing boat is docked on the outside edge of their dock now.
MR WELCH: Yes, but it's in --
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: It doesn't have a lift, it's in the
Page 115
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22,..2.QQ~
l)ecena~~ztID~7
water, right? So your concern is even lifting that boat up, it would lift
it into your view.
MR. WELCH: Right. Well, it's going to be one more
obstruction. There's going to be a protected walkway that's going to
have a rail on it. Then there's going to be a dock that's going to be 10
by 20 out. And then on top of that there's going to be a hoisted boat
that's going to be 25 to 37 feet out into the water, and that totally
blocks my view.
I don't know where somebody thinks it doesn't block my view;
it's apparent from this sketch that I took the time to draw.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And Ray, from our past LDC
work, isn't that boat also able to have a cover on it now?
MR. WELCH: It has a cover.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: But I mean, where we came up
with regulations on covers that are supported by pilings. So essentially
wouldn't this be allowed even on top of that boat that there's a cover
sitting out there?
MR. BELLOWS: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So it's worse than you think.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Any other questions of the gentleman?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you, sir.
MR. WELCH: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. By the way, Mr. Klatzkow, do
we have to keep the papers he's shown for record? I think we do.
MR. KLATZKOW: I think you do.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: If you could give them to the court
reporter here, she'll make sure they're filed.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Shouldn't we accept them as
evidence?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah. We each haven't got a copy, Bob,
so let's just leave it like it is.

Decerpl)'etlE(f,3JOO7
MR. NELSON: Mr. Chainnan, would I be allowed to make a
couple more comments?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Sure, you can have rebuttal.
MR. NELSON: So far as the water depth, I think a lot of you
remember when it used to be -- water depth used to be a source of
contention, the neighbor would say this, we would say that. So that's
why you started requiring for us to get the staff is to get a certified
surveyor to come in and do the water depths on there. You see this
bathymetric survey actually has the water depths on both sides, in
other words.
And what they did, the reason that they put the lines on both
sides here is so that you could kind of connect the dots and come
across here and see where those lines are. So it kind of takes the
dispute out of it of what the water depth is.
And so far as the other docks in the area -- I'm going to change
this again -- you have this drawing, too. This kind of shows kind of an
example ofthe docks, just a sampling of the docks.
From my experience as a marine contractor, a lot of the times
these older docks that have been put at 20-foot -- and these don't
include the lifts on here, these are just where the dock is, the
protrusion of the dock, and these are fairly accurate measurements
here. And you'll see that a lot of them are 21,23,21, they're all in that
area right there.
A lot of times in the past people have just put the docks in at that
20-something feet, rightly because they don't want to go through this
variance process. They come to us or come to somebody else and they
say, what can we put in? Well, you can go out 20 foot or you can pay
another $2,000 and whatever and we'll take a shot at getting you out
there with a boat lift.
Some people choose not to do that. Some people choose just to
go ahead and do a walk-around dock in the shallow water and deal
with that shallow water.
Page 117
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22. 2008
Decem15'e~'6;4~007
I quite frankly don't think that that's the best case scenario. I
think the best case scenario is to get these boats into deeper water,
because the resource -- I believe that the resource is very important.
Not that the view and everything else isn't important, but most people
have a boat and a dock and a boat lift behind their house that they look
at too from behind their house as well.
And I understand how when you want to look towards the sunset
and you want to look across your neighbor's property that that's a
concern, but I think that shouldn't get in the way of somebody's right
to adequately have safe, reasonable access.
And I think that if you ask your staff if this is safe and
reasonable access and a reasonable request as part of the criteria that
you've set out, I think that you'll find it will be.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Adelstein, then Mr. Murray.
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: What is the depth that you
have it at now?
MR. NELSON: It's probably -- it's at a bit of an angle to the
shoreline, so I'd say it was at an average of a minus 4.5. What that
translates into is about at low tide, it's about four-and-a-half feet deep
at low tide at the front of the dock.
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: And at full tide what is it?
MR. NELSON: At full tide it would probably be six foot. If you
get a foot-and-a-halftide change, it would probably be six-foot deep at
high tide.
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: Thank you.
MR. NELSON: And so far as the channel also, it's fairly deep. I
think it's fairly deep across there.
The gentleman's right, people have a habit of hugging the
shoreline as they go along there. But there is no marked channel in
this area, mainly because it stays so deep.
This is what I would consider to be a -- you wouldn't call it a
manmade waterway, it's a man-altered waterway. Years ago, in the
Page 11 8
, .
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22. 2008
Decem6'e~E{t,S.2007
late 1950's, early 1960's, they went around the area and in some areas
they dug this out by crane. You can see that by aerial photo. It's kind
of interesting, really.
And so right now the whole area's taken 40 to 50 years to kind of
recover environmentally from that. And so what our goal here is just
to try to do something that doesn't hinder that process. And although
we would be -- I have no objection at all to moving it further away to
the west away from the client here, I have no objection to doing that at
all, as long as we don't encroach in the 25 feet from the other side.
I'm sure my applicant has no objection to doing that. But it will
make it go towards the other neighbor we haven't heard from, but
they're not here, so I can't speak for them, that's for sure.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Mr. Nelson, I think you said
something about improving safety or making sure that there was
safety associated with --
MR. NELSON: Yes.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Does that mean that when the
original community was developed that the 20- foot docks were not
safe?
MR. NELSON: Well, I think that what the goal is to have safe
and reasonable access. And because of the 20-foot dock, when you put
a 20-foot dock in there, if it's too shallow, if you don't have a boat lift,
if you don't have proper access, your boat sits on the bottom or
whatever. I don't think it's considered safe access.
And, you know what, there's a good argument to be made that if
you're not in that deep water depth, and as long as you're able to stay
out of a navigational channel, I think that you've got safe access.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Sir, I'm not going to disagree
with you necessarily, but I will say that one of the pictures that we
saw looking down to that canal seemed to be a very large vessel
behind the vessel that was just in front. And I would say that if the
Page 119
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22, 2008
Decemt)e'I"6~ 2007
community were planned with the 20-foot there, I recognize there's a
great deal of width in the bay, but a vision -- you know, somebody's
view is important, and the community character is important.
And ordinarily I wouldn't take umbrage, but we have somebody
who's indicating it's directly impacting. And even I noted that it
looked to me like when you put that other vessel out there, and you
made a statement earlier on indicating the vessel they want to put
there, which means that they have in mind something other than the
vessel we're looking at right now --
MR. NELSON: Sure, most people do.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: -- which would be considerably
larger.
MR. NELSON: It could be.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Presumably. So I don't know, I
thought that these were safe the way they were. I just caught that and
wondered about your choice of the word there.
MR. NELSON: And towards the other end of the canal there,
where the picture was taken down there in the canal, the character of
that canal changes. As you get down further towards the mouth of that
canal, the water depth increases towards the seawall. As you can see
by the drawing, the water depth increases towards the seawall, it gets
deeper, so you're able to come back in there further.
Also, as you get to that canal, you're limited. That canal is only
80 feet wide. You're limited to 20 feet, and that's all you'll ever be able
to do. So that's what they have to live with. And being a manmade
canal then towards that end, you're able to dredge there. So there's a
lot of reasons why it changes as it gets down towards that way right
there.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Adelstein?
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: From the point of land to the
water, how far out would it be for three feet of water?
MR. NELSON: Right now the dock is 20 feet out, and it's at 3.5
Page 120
Agenda Item NO.7 A
April 22, 2008
DecemBe!f8612007
feet. So the existing dock. So right now if she just left the boat the way
it is, she's in three-and-a-half feet of water.
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: How long would it be if it
was just three feet?
MR. NELSON: It appears -- it says right here that it's at minus
two point -- see, it drops off rather rapidly. At 15 feet out it's minus
2.3. At 20 feet out it's minus 3.5, so you kind of split the difference in
between there. Approximately 18 feet.
Now, minus three, by the way, minus three, if you ask the
department of environmental protection, minus three is the minimum
water depth that they would consider adequate water depth. And so
very seldom --
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: It is adequate. I've been using
it too.
MR. NELSON: Yeah, it's very minimal adequate water depth,
but -- and it depends on the draft of your boat. Generally, and I think
that in the environmental community, generally minus four, like I said,
a minus four to minus five is the usual, and it is the best thing for the
environment.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, are there any other questions?
Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: One thing right now. They
couldn't put a lift on the existing dock right now, because that would
add dimension to it and would violate the 20 feet, correct?
MR. NELSON: We would still be here. Yeah, we would still be
here to get a variance for that.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So it's not like we're just -- you
know, the rebuilt dock is quite a bit bigger because of that lift. The lift
lifts the boat into a view that it may not normally be in. And because
of the potential of the covers that we recently approved, it could be a
permanent structure sitting out there.
I'm done. Thank you, Mark.

MR. BELLOWS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: We'll close the public hearing and

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Go ahead, Mr. Schiffer.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Move to deny.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion's been made to deny, motion's
been seconded. Is there discussion?
The only consideration I would have thought is the gentleman
suggested that if they could move this dock further away from his
house, it might help the situation. And I think they could move it
further away, based on the plan that's presented. I saw that as a
positive. So that was my comment.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Mark, can I respond to that?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Sure.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: He can only move it over five
more feet. And even looking at it, I was trying to sketch it, he could
really only pull it in five more feet. So moving it over five feet and
bringing it down to 32 still doesn't help, I think, the issue with the
neighbor.
COMMISSIONER ADELSTEIN: That's right.
MR. NELSON: But I would ask what the option for the client is.
Does he not have the ability to have a boat lift? Is that what the
commission is telling us?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Based upon the 20 feet,
probably not. I mean, nobody else does past the 20 feet.

I think there was another thing that Donna said true, too, is that
this isn't an area where they really want to go out ofthe way to keep

Could we do this, could you organize how you update data and
poll the members to see which they prefer? And here's what happens: I
print out an agenda that comes in e-mail, then two days later there's a
guy handing me one at the door. So we didn't achieve anything other
than the waste, that guy's expense.
So isn't there some way you could poll the board and see what's
the preferable method of update for different members?
And also, I think when you revise the agenda, I think revising it
like you did here, revision two, is a good idea. But I think if you could
just put the date that you revised it, that would be better than
numbering them one, two, three.
So I just really feel bad getting a letter, getting a guy and getting
an e-mail at the same time.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Schiffer, rather than have to have
staff make phone calls and correspondence back and forth, why don't
we just ask it? As far as I'm concerned, if we were to establish a
policy, say 10 pages or less it becomes e-mailed, 11 pages or more
you send it out, unless one of us indicates otherwise. Does that work
for everybody here?
COMMISSIONER VIGLIOTTI: Works for me.

(CCPC), and by the CCPC in its decision to approve or deny a particular Dock Extension request.
In order for the CCPC to approve the request, it must be determined that at least 4 of the 5
primary criteria, and at least 4 of the 6 secondary criteria, must be met. Please provide a
narrative response to the listed criteria and! or questions. Attach additional pages if necessary.
1. Whether or not the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is appropriate in
relation to the waterfront length, location, upland land use and zoning of the subject property;
consideration should be made of property on unbridged barrier islands, where vessels are the
primary means of transportation to and from the property. ((The number should be appropriate;
typical, single-family use should be no more than two slips; typical multi-family use should be one
slip per dwelling unit; in the case of unb'ridged barrier island docks, additional slips may be
appropriate))
The dock consists of one boat slip.
2. Whether or not the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the
general length, type, and draft as that described in the petitioner's application is unable to
launch or moor at mean low tide (Ml T). ((The petitioner's application and survey should show that
the water depth is too shallow to allow launch and mooring of the vessel (s) described without an
extension))
25' will I!et the edl!e of the dock to an adeauate water depth of between 4' & 5' at MHW
and lift will extend out another 12'. therefore needinl! the extension.

5. Whether or not the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the
facility would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. ((The facility should not interfere
with the use oflegally permitted neighboring docks))
The proposed dock and lift will not interfere with use of nei!!hborinl! docks.
1. Whether or not there ore special conditions, not involving water depth, related to the
subject property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and location of the
proposed dock facility. ((There must be at least one special condition related to the property;
these may include type of shoreline reinforcement, shoreline configuration, mangrove growth, or
seagrass beds ))

Bonita Springs, Florida 34134
REOVESTED ACTION:
The petitioner is requesting a 17-foot boat dock extension from the maximum permitted
protrusion of 20 feet for waterways greater than 100 feet in width, which will allow
construction of a boat docking facility protruding a total of 3 7 feet into a waterway that is
640 feet wide to allow the mooring of one vessel.

South - Sixth Street Right-of-Way
East - Single-Family Residence, zoned RSF-4
West - Single-Family Residence, zoned RSF-4
ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION:
Environmental Services staff has reviewed this petition and has no objection to the granting
of this request. Section 5.03.06(E)(lI) (Manatee Protection) of the Collier County Land
Development Code (LDC) is applicable to all multi-slip docking facilities with ten (10) or
more slips. The proposed facility consists of one boat slip and is therefore not subj ect to the
provisions of this section.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) shall approve, approve with conditions,
or deny, a dock facility extension request based on the following criteria. In order for the
CCPC to approve this request, it must be determined that at least four of the five primary
criteria and four of the six secondary criteria have been met.
Staff has reviewed this petition in accordance with Section 5.03.06 and finds the following:
Primary Criteria
I. Whether the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is
appropriate in relation to the waterfront length, location, upland land use and
zoning of the subject property. Consideration should be made of property on
unbridged barrier islands, where vessels are the primary means of
transportation to and from the property. (The number should be appropriate;
typical single-family use should be no more than two slips; typical multi-family
use should be one slip per dwelling unit; in the case of unbridged barrier island
docks, additional slips may be appropriate.)
Criterion met. The proposed facility consists of one boat slip, which is appropriate
in relation to the 75-foot waterfront length of the property. The subject property is
zoned RSF-4, and a single-family residence exists.
2. Whether the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the
general length, type and draft as that described in the petitioner's application
is unable to launch or moor at mean low tide (MLT). (The petitioner's
2
Agenda Item NO.7 A
April 22, 2008
Page 57 of 69
application and survey should establish that the water depth is too shallow to
allow launching and mooring of the vessel(s) described without an extension.)
Criterion met. According to the survey submitted by the petitioner, the water depth
at the site is too shallow to accommodate the 26-foot vessel described in the
petitioner's application at mean low tide.
3. Whether the proposed dock facility may have an adverse impact on
navigation within an adjacent marked or charted navigable channel. (The
facility should not intrude into any marked or charted navigable channel thus
impeding vessel traffic in the channel.)
Criterion met. According to the drawing submitted by the petitioner, the proposed
dock and lift will not have an adverse impact on navigation. The width of the
waterway is approximately 640 feet as shown on the location map submitted with
the application, and the proposed dock and lift will protrude into the waterway 37
feet.
4. Whether the proposed dock facility protrudes no more than 25 percent ofthe
width of the waterway, and whether a minimum of 50 percent of the waterway
width between dock facilities on either side is maintained for navigability. (The
facility should maintain the required percentages.)
Criterion met. According to the information provided by the petitioner, the
waterway is 640 feet wide at the site as measured by an aerial photo. The proposed
facility will occupy about six percent of the waterway width, and about ninety-four
percent of the width will be maintained for navigability.
5. Whether the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the
facility would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. (The facility
should not interfere with the use ofIegally permitted neighboring docks.)
Criterion met. According to the drawings submitted by the petitioner, the proposed
facility will not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. The proposed dock is
located near the center of the lot and is thirty feet from the west riparian line and
twenty-five feet from the east riparian line.
Secondary Criteria
1. Whether there are special conditions not involving water depth, related to the
subject property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and
location of the proposed dock facility. (There must be at least one special
condition related to the property; these may include type of shoreline
reinforcement, shoreline coufiguratiou, mangrove growth, or seagrass beds.)
Criterion not met. The applicant does not contend that there are any special
circumstances associated with this property.
3
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22, 2008
Page 58 of 69
2. Whether the proposed dock facility would allow reasonable, safe access to the
vessel for loading/unloading and routine maintenance, without the use of
excessive deck area not directly related to these functions. (The facility should
not use excessive deck area.)
Criterion met. As shown on the drawings submitted by the petitioner, the deck area
is not excessive.
3. For single-family dock facilities, whether the length of the vessel, or vessels in
combination, described by the petitioner, exceeds 50 percent of the subject
property's linear waterfront footage. (The applicable maximum percentage
should be maintained.)
Criterion met. The subject property contains 75 feet of water frontage, and the 37-
foot vessel will occupy thirty-five percent of the waterfront footage.
4. Whether the proposed facility would have a major impact on the waterfront
view of neighboring property owners. (The facility should not have a major
impact on the view of a neighboring property owner.)
Criterion met. The proposed faciiity will be centrally located on the lot and will not
have a major impact on the waterfront view of the neighboring property owners.
5. Whether sea grass beds will be impacted by the proposed dock facility. (If
seagrass beds are present, compliance with subsection 5.03.06(1) ofthe LDC
must be demonstrated.)
Criterion met. A site inspection by an environmental specialist has determined that
no seagrass beds will be impacted by the proposed dock facility. No seagrass beds
were located within 200 feet of the proposed dock facility.
6. Whether the proposed dock facility is subject to the manatee protection
requirements of subsection 5.03.06(E)(Il) of this Code. (If applicable,
compliance with section 5.03.06(E)(Il) must be demonstrated.)
Criterion met. The proposed dock facility is for the mooring of one vessel at a
single-family residence and therefore is not subject to the Collier County Manatee
Protection Plan Guidelines. The application indicates that the facility will be
constructed per the manatee construction standards. The survey shows that the lot
has approximately seventy-five feet of shoreline and the proposed dock facility
accommodates one boat slip.
Staff analysis indicates that the request meets all of the five primary criteria and five of the
six secondary criteria.

Subject:
BD-2007-AR-12154 denied by the CCPC on December 6, 2007 and appealed to
the BZA on March 25, 2008.
At a public hearing on March 25, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners sitting as the Board
of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals (BZA) directed the County Manager to send the above
referenced Boat Dock petition back to the Planning Commission for clarification on your reasons
for denial. Specifically, the BZA decided that before they would take action on the appeal filed
on this item they would like the motion-maker to provide a specific statement as to the reason for
denial.
Furthermore, my understanding is the BZA wishes to have the CCPC provide a specific reason
for denial on any future petition, to include a specific reference to the applicable Land
Development Code citations and/or Growth Management Plan citations where a petition fails to,
or in the case of a recommendation for approval, is successful in meeting the minimum
requirements of the Land Development Code and/or Growth Management Plan which are
applicable to those specific petition types.
It is further my understand that, per the County Attomey's office, in the case of denial, the
motion maker ought be the designated individual who defines the specific reason for denial but
in the case of a motion for approval, where any Planning Commissioner may vote in the
negative, 1 believe the Board and staff would also be well served by understanding the specific
reasons any member has for denying a petition, even though the final recommendation from the
CCPC may be for approval.
For your convenience I have the executive summary, the meeting minutes and the CCPC staff
report that went to the BZA in their agenda packet.
As time is of the essence, I anticipate the attached information will be adequate for you to
provide the BZA the information they seek so that the petitioner will not experience additional
delays.

Subject:
ADA-2008-AR-I2714 returned to the CCPC for clarification on the reasons for
denial by the BZA on March 25, 2008
At a public hearing on March 25, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners sitting as the Board
of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals (BZA) directed the County Manager to send the above
referenced Boat Dock petition back to the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) for
clarification on their reasons for denial. Specifically, the BZA decided that before they would
take action on the appeal filed on this item they would like the motion-maker to provide a
specific statement as to the reasons for denial.
Prior to the April 3, 2008 CCPC, meeting the motion-maker (Brad Shiffert) sent a memo to me
explaining his reasons for making a motion for denial. His explanation memo is part of the back
up in your April 220d agenda packet, along with a cover memo authored by me explaining your
request.
At the regular CCPC meeting on April 3, 2008, the CCPC members held a brief discussion on
the contents of the memo, wherein 4 out of the 5 members who voted to support the motion for
denial confmned that their reasons for voting for denial were consistent with the contents of the
memo prepared by Brad Shiffert. Two members, Donna Carron and Bob Vigliotti, also added
that in addition to the reasons set forth in the memo, they also felt that the water depth at the
subject property was sufficient at a distance less than the requested boat dock extension. At least
one of the members would like the Board to understand that their recommendation not to support
the motion for denial was due to the fact that he did not agree with the reasons placed on the
record, or lack thereof, for the motion to deny.
I am providing this correspondence because I am not certain if the minutes ofthe April 3, 2008
CCPC meeting will be available in time to become part of your agenda packet. If they are not
available in time, and provided they are available at the time of your scheduled meeting for this
item which is April 22, 2008, 1 will hand deliver them to you at the meeting if you would like
and/or I will otherwise have them available at the meeting for reference.

Memorandum
To: Susan M Istenes, AlCP, Director
Department of Zoning and Land Development Review
Date: August 31, 2008
Subject: Response to your Memorandum of March 26, 2008
Regarding: BD-2007-AR-12154
The reason 1 moved to deny the variance to the twenty (20) foot maximum protrusion
into a waterway is that the existing compliant dock accommodates the vessel noted in the
application so no extension is required for the new dock. The requested design reached
further out to a water depth greater than necessary and the twenty (20) foot by ten (10)
foot deck is excessive.
Because of the ability to now add a Boat Lift Canopy, by right, (Ordinance No. 06-63
5.03.06 G attached); 1 judge how the Boat Dock Facility will look with its allowed
canopy size. Because this design would extend out over half of neighborhood typical lot
widths it would cause a non-compatible visual protrusion from the shoreline and adjacent
dock facilities. It would impact the view of the waterway from the adjoining properties.
If the intent of this request was to support a larger vessel it should have been noted on the
application along with data to support its scale within the waterways.
The staff method of scoring the criteria was added to the Land Development Code early
2007 (Ordinance No. 06-63 5.03.06 H attached_ the text is underlined below). A concem
during the hearings for the Code change was that this could establish the appearance that
the extension is available by right by meeting the criteria score, essentially an
administrative process. These criteria are the basis from which the CCPC may begin to
find an extension appropriate via a public hearing allowing judgment regarding
compatibility with the scale and character of the neighboring docks and shoreline.
The Land Development Code establishes a maximum protrusion I've only supported
extensions when necessary.
Respectfully;
Brad Schiffer AlA

5.03.06 Dock Facilities
A. Generally.Docks and the like are primarily intended to adequately secure moored vessels
and provide safe access for routine maintenance and use, while minimally impacting navigation
within any adjacent navigable channel, the use of the waterway, the use of neighboring docks, the
native marine habitat, manatees, and the view of the waterway by the neighboring property
owners.

E. Standards for dock facilities. The following criteria apply to dock facilities and boathouses,
with the exception of dock facilities and boathouses on manmade lakes and other manmade
bodies of water under private control.
1. For lots on a canal or waterway that is 100 feet or greater in width, no boathouse or
dock facilitylboat combination shall protrude more than twenty (20) feet into the
waterway (i.e. the total protrusion of the dock facility plus the total protrusion of the
moored vessel).

G. Dock facility extension. Additional protrusion of a dock facility into any waterway beyond
the limits established in subsection 5.03.06(E) of this Code may be considered appropriate under
certain circumstances. In order for the Planning Commission to approve the boat dock extension
request. it must be determined that at least four of the five primarv criteria. and at least four of the
six secondary criteria. have been met. These criteria are as follows:
1. Primary Criteria:
a. Whether the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is
appropriate in relation to the waterfront length, location, upland land use, and
zoning of the subject property. Consideration should be made of property on
unbridged barrier islands, where vessels are the primary means of transportation
to and from the property. (The number should be appropriate; typical, single-
family use should be no more than two (2) slips; typical multi-family use should
be one (1) slip per dwelling unit; in the case of un bridged barrier island docks,
additional slips may be appropriate).
Criteria met, the application was for one 26' Pontoon craft.
b. Whether the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the
general length, type, and draft as that described in the petitioner's application is
unable to launch or moor at mean low tide (ML T). (The petitioner's application
and survey should establish that the water depth is too shallow to allow launching
and mooring of the vessel(s) described without an extension).
Criteria not met, the vessel described in the application does not
need the draft requested. Since no mention of problems mooring
now, which must occur between the dock and seawall [LCC
5. 03. 06.E.l,] there is no needfor the extension. The adjoining
sites sharing the seawall seem to be able to comply with the 20
foot requirement.
Agenda Item No.7 A
April 22. 2008

c. Whether the proposed dock facility may have an adverse impact on
navigation within an adjacent marked or charted navigable channel. (The facility
should not intrude into any marked or charted navigable cbannel thus impeding
vessel traffic in the channel).
Criteria assumed met, there was no data presented showing water
depth past the outer edge of the proposed dock facility except
being noted as "dredged bay" it may be assumed to be freely
navigated. There was testimony by applicants' agent that the
vessels exiting/entering the canal to the west "have a habit of
hugging the shoreline" (minute's p1l8 / bottom) which cause
concern for an extension.
d. Whether the proposed dock facility protrudes no more than twenty-five (25)
percent of the width of the waterway, and whether a minimum of fifty (50)
percent of the waterway width between dock facilities on either side of the
waterway is maintained for navigability. (The facility should maintain the
required percentages).
Criteria assumed met, see c above.
e. Whether the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the
facility would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. (The facility
should not interfere with the use of legally permitted neighboring docks).
Criteria met, no testimony or data showed interference.
2. Secondary criteria:
a. Whether there are special conditions, not involving water depth, related to the
subject property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and
location of the proposed dock facility. (There must be at least one (I) special
condition related to the property; these may include type of shoreline
reinforcement, shoreline configuration, mangrove growth, or seagrass beds).
Criteria not met.
b. Whether the proposed dock facility would allow reasonable, safe access to
the vessel for loading and/or unloading and routine maintenance, without the use
of excessive deck area not directly related to these functions. (The facility should
not use excessive deck area).
Criteria not met, the proposed dock has an excessive 10 foot by
20' deck area.
Agenda Item No. 7A
April 22, 2008
Page 68 of 69
c. For single-family dock facilities, whether the length of the vessel, or vessels
in combination, described by the petitioner exceeds fifty (50) percent of the
subject property's linear waterfront footage. (The applicable maximum
percentage should be maintained).
Criteria met, the 26' boat length is 34.6% of lot width.
d. Whether the proposed facility would have a major impact on the waterfront
view of neighboring waterfront property owners. (The facility should not
have a major impact on the view of a neighboring property owner).
The applicant's agent did show the dock facility (without any
vessels moored) would have similar visual impact from the
western edge of the adjacent neighbor's patio but this sketch
would show the opposite if taken from the center or eastern edge.
Requesting a boat lift means that a Boat Lift Canopy can be
added, by right. The maximum size could be 35 feet wide, 16.5
feet deep and 12 feet high. The neighbor to the east testified, with
his sketch (which is not included in your packet), that he felt it
would impact his view of the bay.
d. Whether sea grass beds are located within 200 feet of the proposed dock
facility. (If sea grass beds are present, compliance with subsection
5.03.06(H)(2). of this LDC must be demonstrated).
Criteria met, no data showing seagrass within 200 feet..
f. Whether the proposed dock facility is subject to the manatee protection
requirements of subsection 5.03.06(E)(11) of this LDC. (If applicable,
compliance with section 5.03.06(E)(11) must be demonstrated).
A criterion not applicable for it has less than 10 slips.
e. If deemed necessary based upon review of the above criteria, the Planning
Commission may impose such conditions upon the approval of an extension
request that it deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Code and
to protect the safety and welfare of the public. Such conditions may include,
but shall not be limited to, greater side setback(s), and provision oflight(s),
additional reflectors, or reflectors larger than four (4) inches.
Not really a criteria but an allowance to adjust design and
require safety features. While there was conversation on
centering the dock facility but there is the concern of changing
the advertised design.

side setbacks.
3. Maximum height: Fifteen (15) feet as measured from the top of the seawall or
bank, whichever is more restrictive, to the peak or highest elevation of the
roof.
4. Maximum number of boathouses or covered structures per site; One (1).
5. All boathouses and covered structures shall be completely open on all four
(4) sides.
6. Roofing material and roof color shall be the same as materials and colors
used on the principal structure or may be of a palm frond "chickee" style. A
single-family dwelling unit must be constructed on the subject lot prior to,
or simultaneously with, the construction of any boathouse or covered dock
structure.
7. The boathouse or covered structure must be so located as to minimize the
impact on the view of the adjacent neighbors to the greatest extent
practicable.
G. Standards for boat 11ft canoDle..
1. Boat 11ft canoDies shall be Dermitted over an existinG boat lift
attached to a dock leaallv oermitted bv the reQuisite local state and
federal aGencies. if the follollVinQ criteria are met.
a. CanaDY covers shall not extend more than 27 inches beyond
the width of the boat lift on each side.

measured from the hiahest Doint of the CanaDY to the heiaht of
the dock walkway.
d. The sides of the canODV cover shall remain ODen on all sides.
excget that a droa curtain. not to exceed 18" shall be oermitted
on the sides.
e. Boat 11ft canoDles shall meet the reQuirements of Awninas and
Cenoeies in the Florida Buildino Code.
f. CanaDv cover material shall be limited to beioe or mid-ranee

a, No boatllft canooles shall be oermitted at sites that contain
either a boathouse or a covered structure.
2. Lots with frentaae on canals shall be oermitted a maximum of 1
boatllft canaDY oer site. Lots with frontaoe on bays shall be
Dermitted a maximum of 2 beatllft caneD'as oer site.

meet the standard. of subsection 5.03.06 G. above. then a oelition for
a boat 11ft caneDv deviation may be made to the Plannina
Commission which shall review a sufficient Detition aDDlication and
