Edwin Fryer,Chairman Collier County Planning Commission August 14,2020 NO-GC104682,6-01 COL(Ret) Theodore J. Raia, Jr., M.D. 7117 Pelican Bay Boulevard Apartment 404 Naples, Florida 34108 239-269-3851 September 3, 2020 Board of Collier County Commissioners Collier County Government Center 3299 Tamiami Trail East, 3rd Floor Naples, FL 34112 Dear Commissioners: You are the only people whose vote can bring reason to the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA). Apparently, every acre has some eight layers of value - mining, drilling, agriculture, etc., only one being a housing unit. So, when the Conservancy dedicates an acre to wildlife habitat, the developer gets credit for losing all the values. These lost values are all converted to housing units. The original RLSA of 182,334 acres is zoned for one housing unit per five acres or 36,467 housing units. This zoning is being changed to one unit per acre or 180,000 housing units, doubling our population while using only 45,000 acres. These numbers dwarf the biblical "Loafs and Fishes." In addition, we are going to provide the infrastructure of water, sewer, roads, schools, etc. Immokalee Road is the only road to service the RLSA located in the northeast corner of Collier County. To ease this problem the county is already planning to extend Vanderbilt Beach Road further east. As the name suggests, it should open the east to the gulf coast. However, the Colliers already sold the entire coast years ago. They never planned on saving any for future use nor did they plan on saving east-west corridors for access roads. Now they expect us to provide it. Commissioners Furthermore, let's not ignore the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) requirements and our own Growth Management Plan that restrict run off water from exceeding that which existed before development. RLSA water will be discharged into the channels that were engineered years ago without considering that fresh water is a pollutant to the mangroves. The mangroves are our best protection from hurricanes and surges. They are also the nursery for our fishing industry. The surface water calculation must include all the potable ground water that is going to be pumped to meet this population growth. Do our aquifers meet this demand or are we going to worry about that later? Commissioners, for all these reasons, please vote against this project. Respectfully, ectfully, COL (Ret) Ted Raia, M.D. LLEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS- •..A L.. .)LLILt` COUNTfoovi, Good morning! My name is Charlotte Nycklemoe, past president of the Collier County League of Women Voters and a member of our Environmental Affairs Committee. I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to provide comments from the League on the draft RLSA Overlay Amendments. The LWV speaks for citizens of Collier County and their concerns about the impacts of the proposed development in Collier's eastern Rural lands. The impacts on our quality of life, water resources and wildlife; and the infrastructure costs which will be borne by our community for 10-20 years or more. The Collier League has a long history with the RLSA program. Members of the environmental committee have been involved in the RLSA program beginning in early 2000 up through the RLSA Restudy in 2019. We have watched with concern as development went from 16,800 acres to 45,000 acres, credits went from 136,000 to 404,000 and endangered species habitat for panthers is given over to new village development. Members, who include biologists, professors, lawyers, and business owners, have listened, researched and contributed comments throughout this period. The League is committed to getting the RLSA Overlay rcv cd to meet its goals: • to protect agriculture, water resources, listed species and their habitat and a to allow development in appropriate locations, while avoiding sprawl. We think the Staff's draft amendments do not accomplish what's needed. The draft amendments are almost entirely the 2009 5-year Review Committee's recommendations. The 5-year Review Committee recommendations favor dcvc!opers—their foals is to increase Stewardship Credits and Stewardship ocrci.y.ing Area (SRA) f'x'tprints, while lessening some protections for our water resources and wildlife. The public comments, especially from the RLSA Restudy, have been largely ignernr! Today I want to highlight some revisions we think are necessary to help the Overlay achieve its goals. 1. There will be very little "Rural" left in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area program if these amendments go through. The 45,000 acres of towns and villages does not include the thousands of additional acres needed for new and expanded roadways to serve this area, nor the approximate 15,000 acres of public infrastructure, the 3300 acres of sand mines, or the over 46,000 acres of "open land" remaining after 45,000 of development. These lands are currently zoned for one unit per 5 acres. Nothing in the draft amendments prevents the checkerboard development of the remaining 46,000 acres of open lands. Staff's proposal of 2 agriculture credits per acre may preserve some ag lands, but it is insufficient to keep the open lands from baseline development. As towns and villages are built, bringing amenities and infrastructure to the RLSA, these open lands will likely become more valuable for development as 5-acre ranchettes than farming. Revise the Overlay to do more to discourage residential development of these open lands. 2. Revise the Amendments to avoid sprawl. The draft Amendments will increase sprawl. The current RLSA Overlay allows Stewardship Receiving Areas or SRAs to be built anywhere in the 93,000 acres of open land. As a result, the Overlay promotes a sprawling, less compact pattern of development. Add to that, potentially over 46,000 acres of development at 1 unit per 5 acres, and what do you have? We ask that you: • Reject the proposed increases in acreage for Towns, Villages, and Compact Rural Developments (CRDs). • Support the March 2020 Aggregation requirement to ensure compact, multi-use, self-sufficient towns are built, rather than a conglomerate of neighboring villages. 2 • Limit the number of villages allowed in the RLSA. Consider that about 7000 acres of Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRAs) have been approved (Ave Maria, Rivergrass and Hyde Park), leaving 38,000 acres available—enough for 38 villages. Is this how you envision the future RLSA? 3. The RLSA Overlay needs to include more protection for our water resources—the draft amendments remove existing protections. Please consider the following: • Continue to prohibit construction of infrastructure in FSAs, HSAs and Water Retention Areas (WRAs) that score greater than 1.2 on the Natural Resource Index. Staff's draft amendments in Policies 4.9 and 5.1 will remove this protection with no supporting rationale. • The same amendments eliminate the prohibition of locating SRAs in Water Retention Areas. These areas protect our water quality and quantity and wildlife habitat. Why is it appropriate to allow destruction of a WRA? • Prohibit construction of stormwater management infrastructure in high value WRAs—something proposed Policy 3.13 would allow. • Require Flowway Management Plans with clear maintenance obligations as part of the SRA, and as recommended by the County May 2019 White Paper. Flowways require periodic maintenance because they are impacted by upstream activities over time. SRAs should contribute for needed maintenance to relieve downstream impacts from their discharge, as a matter of fiscal neutrality. 4. Protect the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. The draft amendments lessen protections for this environmentally sensitive area. The Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern or ACSC encompasses the Okaloacoochee (OK Slough), a major wetland system within the RLSA. The area is also essential habitat for long-term survival of the panther and provides land that should be included as part of a wildlife corridor. Development and infrastructure should be very limited, yet the draft amendments increase the size of SRAs allowed in this area. The proposed increases to the acreage of Villages and Compact Rural Developments in the Big Cypress ACSC are contrary to the clear statement that 3 Policy 4.21 is not to be used to increase development potential in the ACSC but to promote a more compact form of development as an alternative to the baseline standards already in place. Also, reinstate the 5-year Review Committee recommendation of awarding 2.6 ag credits per acre for the open land in the ACSC. The draft amendments provide no basis for eliminating this extra incentive to keep the ACSC from being developed. 5. Revise the draft Amendments to provide protections for the panther and other listed species as the program intended—the draft amendments fall woefully short. We suggest: • Identify specific wildlife corridors on the RLSA Status Map. Hold off approving more SRAs until this is done. Contrary to the Staff's assertion, the draft amendments do not provide for creation of these corridors. The Staff only provides an arrow on a map showing a general location for the corridors. This will not protect the area from development. • Don't allow SRAs to fragment, encompass or isolate FSAs, HSAs or WRAs, or Stewardship Sending Areas (SSAs), negatively impacting their value for wildlife. • The RLSA Overlay and Land Development Code (LDC) allow towns and villages to be built on primary panther habitat because they are based on out of date 2002 data. The draft amendments continue to ignore this problem. The program must be updated with the best available science to better protect the panther and other listed species. 6. Revise the RLSA Overlay to accomplish its intent that SRAs be compact, walkable and self-sufficient. The draft amendments increase the acreage of Towns, Villages and CRDs, and eliminate provisions proposed last March that would address self-sufficiency. Why? • Instead, Increase the minimum and maximum densities for towns and villages to achieve the needed compactness and walkability, and to avoid sprawl. • Revise the affordable housing requirement for SRAs so that it is consistent with the intent of the Overlay and what Staff housing experts say is needed. Affordable housing should be included within the community and will 4 enable SRAs to provide a place where residents can live and work. One of our members will be addressing this in more detail on the 17th. • Include the SRA aggregation requirement set out in the March 2020 draft amendments to support Town self-sufficiency and assure developers pay their fair share of infrastructure costs. 7. Finally, we ask for a zoning in progress pause on review and approval of all SRA applications until the BCC adopts final amendments to the RLSA. Development has been proceeding at a very rapid pace in the RLSA. Two Villages have been approved so far this year and two more are on track to be approved before the year's end. Revisions to the Overlay need to be made and applied to what's coming. To conclude, please recommend that the BCC send the amendments back to the drawing board to make the RLSA program what it is meant to be. There is too much at stake to rush. We must get it right! Your decisions will have an impact long into the future of Collier County. 5 CONSERVANCY of Southwest Florida OUR WATER, LAND, WILDLIFE, FUTURE. Protecting Southwest Florida's unique natural environment and quality of life ... now and forever. Conservancy's "Asks" for RLSA Amendments: 1. Please take your time to get this right. - What happens in the RLSA will impact many generations and change the character of Collier County forever. 2. Community members who participated in the RLSA workshops were clear, they want less development, not more. They want less sprawling, more compact development. - Reject amendments to Policies 1.22, 4.2, and 4.7.1 which increase development. 3. Help us to rebalance the program. 4. Remove the ability to earn R-1 "Dedication" credits. (Policy Amendment 3.11) - R-2 credits awarded only when restoration is complete - To earn R-2 credits land uses must be restricted to Agriculture 2 (Ag 2) or Conservation 5. Due to proposed increase in development, a comprehensive land use analysis must be conducted, which includes: (This was proposed in 2010 by Carlton Fields,Collier County's legal counsel) - Needs Analysis - Urban Sprawl Analysis - Availability of Public Facilities Analysis - Suitability Analysis(for environment) 6. Require independent analysis of credit system to determine: - Number of credits at 100%participation based on LDC language (no assumptions) - Appropriate recalibration so development potential is not increased(Policy 4.19) 7. Use "Conservancy's Comments on the Draft RLSA Overlay Proposed Amendments"as a guide to bring better balance to program.
