Agenda 06/22/2021 Item #17C (Resolution - PL20200001865)17.0 06/22/2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item requires that ex parte disclosure be provided by Commission members. Should a hearing be held on this item, all participants are required to be sworn in. Recommendation to approve a Resolution for the establishment of a conditional use to allow a solar energy plant under the conditional use within the Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A -MHO RLSAO) zoning district pursuant to Subsection 2.01.03.G.1.a of the Collier County Land Development Code for property located on the east side of the intersection at SR 29 and SR 82 in Sections 4, 9 and 16, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. [PL20200001865] OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (Board) review staff s findings and recommendations along with the recommendations of the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) regarding the above -referenced petition and render a decision regarding the petition; and ensure the project is in harmony with all the applicable codes and regulations in order to ensure that the community's interests are maintained. CONSIDERATIONS: The subject property is 578 +/- acres and is located on the east side of the intersection at SR 29 and SR 82 in Sections 4, 9 and 16, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. The petitioner requests a conditional use to allow a solar energy plant within the Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A -MHO RLSAO) zoning district pursuant to Subsection 2.01.03.G.1.a of the Collier County Land Development Code. The subject property consists of f 578 acres, under multiple parcels but one ownership whom provided authorization via affidavit. The petitioner seeks a Conditional Use to redevelop the property for a solar energy plant for the purpose of providing Collier County with a unique project that benefits the public by providing solar power to the overall power grid, which in time reduces the cost of power for all customers without generating toxic emissions. There are numerous benefits associated with the Florida Power & Light (FPL) solar project that include creating employment opportunities during construction, procurement of local resources when possible, economic boost to local businesses during construction, zero -emissions electricity generation, increased awareness of sustainable energy sources, and increased tax revenues for the county. FPL's new solar plants generate zero emissions energy, using only the sun for fuel. When the sun is shining, the panels absorb the sunlight and convert it into direct current energy. The energy then flows through an inverter where it is transformed into alternating current electricity, the kind that is used in a residential home. The energy travels through FPL's energy grid, where it is delivered to homes and businesses. The conceptual site plan (see page 4) provides ingress/egress from S.R. 29, supplemental native planting clusters, solar array development areas with access paths, gates, fences, a preserve, and an electrical collector yard. There is also a companion variance to this conditional use petition. The variance is from Section 4.06.02.c Table 2.4 of the Collier County Land Development Code which requires a 20 foot landscape buffer along road right-of-way and a 10 foot landscape buffer abutting adjacent agricultural property to allow no buffer on the perimeter of the property, to be mitigated by supplementary native plantings along portions of SR 29, for the Immokalee Solar project. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed solar field, in and of itself, would have no direct fiscal impact to Collier County. The solar energy facility is a public facility proposed to augment the generated power needed to supply the Collier County FPL customer base. While difficult to quantify monetarily, the Packet Pg. 3097 17.0 06/22/2021 generation of power through solar collection will reduce the environmental cost associated with power production. The County collects impact fees prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to help offset the impacts of each new development on public facilities. These impact fees are used to fund projects identified in the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan as needed to maintain the adopted Level of Service (LOS) for public facilities. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Florida Power and Light, Inc. (Applicant) is requesting approval of a Conditional Use to allow a solar power plant on 578+/- acres of land (Property) located directly to the east of the SR 29 and SR 82 intersection in unincorporated Collier County, Florida. The subject site is Agricultural/Rural Designation; Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) on the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Management Plan. Although the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) lists essential services uses on page 72, it does not specifically list electric generating plants. The LDC does allow a CU for this use in the RLSA. The LDC Ch. 2.01.03 Essential Services G. states: G. Conditional uses. The following uses require approval pursuant to section 10.08.00 conditional uses: 1. Conditional essential services in every zoning district excluding the RFMU district sending lands, CON districts, NRPAs, and RLSA designated HSAs and FSAs. In every zoning district, unless otherwise identified as permitted uses, and excluding RFMU district Sending Lands, CON districts, and NRPAs, the following uses shall be allowed as conditional uses: a. Electric or gas generating plants. Comprehensive Planning reviewed Immokalee Solar (CU) (PL20200001865) and found it consistent with the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Transportation Element: The project is consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan, which states, "The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following occur: a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and C. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume. Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project's significant impacts on Packet Pg. 3098 17.0 06/22/2021 all roadways. " According to the information provided by the applicant the proposed Solar Facility will generate a deminimis number of maintenance related trips monthly based on similar facilities in Florida. Normally this can be +/- 4 trips per month depending on the facility. Therefore, the subject Conditional Use is found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition request and is recommending approval. Stormwater Review: The proposed conditional use and variance requests are not anticipated to create drainage problems or adverse impacts to surrounding properties in the area. Stormwater best management practices, treatment, and storage will be addressed through the environmental resource permitting process. Landscape Review: Due to the companion variance to allow for no formal landscape buffers, the Landscape Buffer Easements typically shown on CU Master Plans are not shown. Environmental Review: Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the petition to address environmental concerns. The property is located within Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO) on lands designated as "Open." The property has been historically cleared and used for agricultural uses since the early 1960's. The minimum preserve requirement is 4.96 acres (40% of 12.4acres); the applicant has provided 5.74 acres of preservation onsite. The environmental data indicates the proposed project is in an area that has the potential to contain a variety of protected animal species. The two listed species observed onsite were American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor). The proposed project does not impact the existing habitats for the American Alligator since the project boundary does not include the large freshwater marshes areas located to the east of the subject property and preserves the remaining freshwater marshes within the subject property. It is anticipated that the suitable foraging habitat (freshwater marshes and drainage ditches) will not be impacted by the proposed project; therefore, any Tricolored Heron utilizing the site will be unaffected by the proposed project. The subject property is located within core foraging ranges for three Wood stork (Mycteria americana) colonies and contains foraging habitat for the Florida Sandhill Crane (Antigone candensis pratensis). Suitable foraging habitat for both the Florida Sandhill Crane and Wood Stork is present within the subject property (Drainage ditches, preserved marsh areas); however, no individuals were observed onsite. The proposed project is located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) consultation area for Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus). Although there are native vegetated areas present onsite, no evidence was found indicating the trees were being utilized by Bonneted Bat. Finally, the property contains potential habitat for caracara (Caracara cheriway); however, no caracara was observed onsite. Consultation with the US Federal Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) regarding guidelines and permitting requirements will be required prior to construction. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wildlife data indicates the presence of Black Bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the area. A black bear management plan will need to be included at PPL or SDP review to provide awareness for employees working onsite. The Environmental Data indicates the subject property falls within (FWS) Secondary Florida Panther (Felis concolor coryi) habitat. There were no observations of panther onsite and the telemetry data indicates Florida panther are not abundant within the boundary of the proposed project. The property contains habitats preferred by the Florida panther, including 4 acres of Cabbage Palm (FLUCFCS 428) and 7.8 acres of Freshwater Marshes (FLUCFCS 641); therefore, consultation with FWS to obtain panther mitigation may be required. Prior to approval of the first development order, a second protected species survey of the subject property will be Packet Pg. 3099 17.0 06/22/2021 required to ensure construction activity will not impact listed species. The second listed species survey will primarily be focused on avian species; however, all listed species will be evaluated for their presence in and adjacent to the subject property. Environmental Services staff recommends approval of the proposed petition. Historic Preservation Review: Several Historical/Archaeological Probability Areas lie within the project boundaries. As such the petitioner was required to either submit a waiver application from the required historical and archaeological survey and assessment application or submit a historical and archaeological survey and assessment. In November 2020, the agent submitted a Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of the Immokalee Solar Energy Tract conducted by Terracon Consultants, Inc. (See Attachment B) The conclusions of this survey resulted in no archaeological sites, archaeological occurrences, or historic structures encountered at the site. This application was heard before the Historic/Archaeological Preservation Board (HAPB) at its March 19, 2021 meeting and agreed with their conclusions and approved the Cultural Resource Assessment Survey. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division Review: Does not foresee any direct negative impact. Pollution Control Review: Pollution Control staff has reviewed the petition request, and support this project and the actions FPL is taking to provide clean energy and is recommending approval with the following Conditions of Approval: Pollution Control Conditional of Approval 1: "All hazardous products as defined in LDC Section 1.08.02 and petroleum products are required to be stored in secondary containment. The containment structure shall be capable of containing 110% of the volume of the largest container located within, be composed of materials impervious to the regulated substance, and be able to withstand deterioration from external environmental conditions. For containment areas with more than one storage container, capacity calculations shall be made after deducting the volume of the storage containers, other than the largest container. All regulated substances must be removed from the containment structure within 24-hours of a spill or accidental release. Containment structures shall be sheltered so that the intrusion of precipitation is effectively prevented." Pollution Control Conditional of Approval 2: "The applicant shall provide a pollution prevention and response plan with at the time of SDP or SIP submittal." Hendry and Lee County Reviews: Both counties have reviewed this petition and have no issues. (See Attachment C) Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). The project site consists of 12.4 acres of native vegetation. A minimum of 4.96 (40%) acres of native vegetation shall be placed under preservation and dedicated to Collier County. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC): The CCPC, heard Petition CU- PL20200001865, Immokalee Solar on May 26, 2021, and voted 6-0 to forward this petition to the Board with a recommendation of approval. There was no opposition to the petition. As such, this petition will be placed on Summary Agenda. The CCPC approval recommendation was unanimous with the following conditions: 1. Immokalee Solar Conditional Use shall be limited to what is depicted on the "Conceptual Site Plan, revised 03/09/2021," prepared by Jacobs. Packet Pg. 3100 17.0 06/22/2021 2. All hazardous products as defined in LDC Section 1.08.02 and petroleum products are required to be stored in secondary containment. The containment structure shall be capable of containing 110% of the volume of the largest container located within, be composed of materials impervious to the regulated substance, and be able to withstand deterioration from external environmental conditions. For containment areas with more than one storage container, capacity calculations shall be made after deducting the volume of the storage containers, other than the largest container. All regulated substances must be removed from the containment structure within 24- hours of a spill or accidental release. Containment structures shall be sheltered so that the intrusion of precipitation is effectively prevented. 3. The applicant shall provide a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) compliant with Chapter 62-621.300(5), FAC., at the time of SDP or SIP submittal. 4. A follow up listed species survey observation will be needed prior to construction. Soil ground water testing will be needed at first development order. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Section 163.3205, FS was recently adopted by the Florida legislature with an effective date of July 1, 2021. It provides, in part: (3) A solar facility shall be a permitted use in all agricultural land use categories in a local government comprehensive plan and all agricultural zoning districts within an unincorporated area and must comply with the setback and landscaped buffer area criteria for other similar uses in the agricultural district. (4) A county may adopt an ordinance specifying buffer and landscaping requirements for solar facilities. Such requirements may not exceed the requirements for similar uses involving the construction of other facilities that are permitted uses in agricultural land use categories and zoning districts. (5) This section does not apply to any site that was the subject of an application to construct a solar facility submitted to a local governmental entity before July 1, 2021. Since this petition was submitted before July 1, 2021, it requires a conditional use. Before you is a recommendation by the Planning Commission for approval of a conditional use authorizing a Solar Energy Plant within the Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A - MHO RLSAO) zoning district. A conditional use is a use that is permitted in a particular zoning district subject to certain restrictions. All testimony given must be under oath. The attached report and recommendations of the Planning Commission are advisory only and are not binding on you. Petitioner has the burden of demonstrating that the necessary requirements have been met, and you may question Petitioner, or staff, to satisfy yourself that the necessary criteria has been satisfied. In addition to meeting the necessary criteria, you may place such conditions and safeguards as you deem appropriate to allow the use, provided that there is competent, substantial evidence that these additional conditions and safeguards are necessary to promote the public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, or the general welfare of the neighborhood. As a further condition of approval of the conditional use, you may require that suitable areas for streets, public rights -of -way, schools, parks, and other public facilities be set aside, improved, and/or dedicated for public use, subject to appropriate impact fee credits. Approval or denial of the Petition is by Resolution. This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires an affirmative vote of four for Board approval.

(Applicant) is requesting approval of a Conditional Use to allow a solar power plant on 578+/- acres of land (Property) located directly to the east of the SR 29 and SR 82 intersection in unincorporated Collier County, Florida. The subject site is Agricultural/Rural Designation; Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) on the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Management Plan. Although the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) lists essential services uses on page 72, it does not specifically list electric generating plants. The LDC does allow a CU for this use in the RLSA. The LDC Ch. 2.01.03 Essential Services G. states: G. Conditional uses. The following uses require approval pursuant to section 10.08.00 conditional uses: 1. Conditional essential services in every zoning district excluding the RFMU district sending lands, CON districts, NRPAs, and RLSA designated HSAs and FSAs. In every zoning district, unless otherwise identified as permitted uses, and excluding RFMU district Sending Lands, CON districts, and NRPAs, the following uses shall be allowed as conditional uses: a. Electric or gas generating plants. Comprehensive Planning reviewed Immokalee Solar (CU) (PL20200001865) twice and found it consistent with the Growth Management Plan (GMP) in both reviews. Transportation Element: The project is consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan, which states, "The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SPA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following occur a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and c. For all other links, the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume. CU-PL20200001865, IMMOKALEE SOLAR Revised Date: May 11, 2021 Page 6 of 12 Packet Pg. 3109 17.C.1 Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project's significant impacts on all roadways. " According to the information provided by the applicant the proposed Solar Facility will generate a deminimis number of maintenance related trips monthly based on similar facilities in Florida. Normally this can be +/- 4 trips per month depending on the facility. Therefore, the subject Conditional Use is found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition request and is recommending approval. Stormwater Review: The proposed conditional use and variance requests are not anticipated to create drainage problems or adverse impacts to surrounding properties in the area. Stormwater best management practices, treatment, and storage will be addressed through the environmental resource permitting process. Landscape Review: Due to the companion variance to allow for no formal landscape buffers, the Landscape Buffer Easements typically shown on CU Master Plans are not shown. Environmental Review: Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the petition to address environmental concerns. The property is located within Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO) on lands designated as "Open." The property has been historically cleared and used for agricultural uses since the early 1960's. The minimum preserve requirement is 4.96 acres (40% of 12.4acres); the applicant has provided 5.74 acres of preservation onsite. The environmental data indicates the proposed project is in an area that has the potential to contain a variety of protected animal species. The two listed species observed onsite were American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor). The proposed project does not impact the existing habitats for the American Alligator since the project boundary does not include the large freshwater marshes areas located to the east of the subject property and preserves the remaining freshwater marshes within the subject property. It is anticipated that the suitable foraging habitat (freshwater marshes and drainage ditches) will not be impacted by the proposed project; therefore, any Tricolored Heron utilizing the site will be unaffected by the proposed project. The subject property is located within core foraging ranges for three Wood stork (Mycteria americana) colonies and contains foraging habitat for the Florida Sandhill Crane (Antigone candensis pratensis). Suitable foraging habitat for both the Florida Sandhill Crane and Wood Stork is present within the subject property (Drainage ditches, preserved marsh areas); however, no individuals were observed onsite. The proposed project is located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) consultation area for Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus). Although there are native vegetated areas present onsite, no evidence was found indicating the trees were being utilized by Bonneted Bat. Finally, the property contains potential habitat for caracara (Caracara cheriway); however, no caracara was observed onsite. Consultation with the US Federal Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) regarding guidelines and permitting requirements will be required prior to construction. CU-PL20200001865, IMMOKALEE SOLAR Revised Date: May 11, 2021 Page 7 of 12 0 L M 0 Cn as as M 0 E E N CD un Ln r Packet Pg. 3110 17.C.1 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wildlife data indicates the presence of Black Bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the area. A black bear management plan will need to be included at PPL or SDP review to provide awareness for employees working onsite. The Environmental Data indicates the subject property falls within (FWS) Secondary Florida Panther (Felis concolor coryi) habitat. There were no observations of panther onsite and the telemetry data indicates Florida panther are not abundant within the boundary of the proposed project. The property contains habitats preferred by the Florida panther, including 4 acres of Cabbage Palm (FLUCFCS 428) and 7.8 acres of Freshwater Marshes (FLUCFCS 641); therefore, consultation with FWS to obtain panther mitigation may be required. Prior to approval of the first development order, a second protected species survey of the subject property will be required to ensure construction activity will not impact listed species. The second listed species survey will primarily be focused on avian species; however, all listed species will be evaluated for their presence in and adjacent to the subject property. Environmental Services staff recommends approval of the proposed petition. Historic Preservation Review: Several Historical/Archaeological Probability Areas lie within the project boundaries. As such the petitioner was required to either submit a waiver application from the required historical and archaeological survey and assessment application or submit a historical and archaeological survey and assessment. In November 2020, the agent submitted a Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of the Immokalee Solar Energy Tract conducted by Terracon Consultants, Inc. (See Attachment B) The conclusions of this survey resulted in no archaeological sites, archaeological occurrences, or historic structures encountered at the site. This application was heard before the Historic/Archaeological Preservation Board (HAPB) at its March 19, 2021 meeting and agreed with their conclusions and approved the Cultural Resource Assessment Survey. Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division Review: Does not foresee any direct negative impact. Pollution Control Review: Pollution Control staff has reviewed the petition request, and support this project and the actions FPL is taking to provide clean energy and is recommending approval with the following Conditions of Approval: Pollution Control Conditional of Approval 1: "All hazardous products as defined in LDC Section 1.08.02 and petroleum products are required to be stored in secondary containment. The containment structure shall be capable of containing 110% of the volume of the largest container located within, be composed of materials impervious to the regulated substance, and be able to withstand deterioration from external environmental conditions. For containment areas with more than one storage container, capacity calculations shall be made after deducting the volume of the storage containers, other than the largest container. All regulated substances must be removed from the containment structure within 24-hours of a spill or accidental release. Containment structures shall be sheltered so that the intrusion of precipitation is effectively prevented." Pollution Control Conditional of Approval 2: "The applicant shall provide a pollution prevention and response plan with at the time of SDP or SIP submittal." Hendry and Lee County Reviews: Both counties have reviewed this petition and have no issues. (See Attachment C) CU-PL20200001865, IMMOKALEE SOLAR Revised Date: May 11, 2021 Page 8 of 12 0 M 0 Cn as as M 0 E E N CD Ln Ln Packet Pg. 3111 17.C.1 Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). The project site consists of 12.4 acres of native vegetation. A minimum of 4.96 (40%) acres of native vegetation shall be placed under preservation and dedicated to Collier County. STAFF ANALYSIS: When considering a Conditional Use petition, the CCPC must make findings that: 1) approval of the Conditional Use will not adversely affect the public interest and will not adversely affect other property of uses in the same district of neighborhood; and 2) all specific requirements for the individual Conditional Use will be met; and 3) satisfactory provisions have been made S concerning the following matters, where applicable: cL M 0 1. Section 2.01.03.G.1.a, of the LDC permits conditional uses in the Agricultural (A) W a� zoning district within the Mobile Home Overlay (MHO) and the Rural Lands M Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO). o E E The requested use for a solar energy plant is allowed as a conditional use in the Agricultural (A) zoning district within the Mobile Home Overlay (MHO) and the Rural Lands o Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO), subject to the standards and procedures established in r section 10.08.00, conditional uses procedures, of the LDC. 2. Consistency with the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Growth Management Plan (GMP). This request is consistent with the GMP and, with the conditions proposed by staff, this project will be in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Land Development Code (LDC). 3. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. Ingress and egress to the subject property will be limited to a single access point on SR 29 as shown on the master site plan. The Transportation Impact Letter submitted by the applicant indicates that four trips per month will made to the site, which results in a de minimis impact to the surrounding roadway network. The roadway infrastructure (as noted above consistent with Florida State Statues) has adequate capacity to serve the proposed project at this time, i.e., GMP consistent at the time of rezoning as evaluated as part of the GMP Transportation Element consistency review. The project's development must also comply with all other applicable concurrency management regulations and operational improvements when development approvals are sought at time of Site Development Plan (SDP) review. 4. The effect the Conditional Use would have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic or odor effects. CU-PL20200001865, IMMOKALEE SOLAR Revised Date: May 11, 2021 Page 9 of 12 Packet Pg. 3112 17.C.1 The proposed solar power field is virtually silent in terms of noise and will therefore generate little to no impact from a noise standpoint on neighboring properties. In terms of glare, the Applicant will provide a Glint and Glare study at the time of Site Development Plan approval, which outlines how the proposed solar panels create little glare due to the positioning of the panels and their significant setback from nearby roadways. The issue of glint and glare, as it pertains to photovoltaic systems, has been studied by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Air Force extensively. The Applicant takes precautionary design measures to ensure any glare from the placement of the solar panels does not cause travel hazards or impair the quality of life of the surrounding residences or buildings. The proposed 100-foot minimum setback of the solar panels from the SR 29 ROW will also assist in mitigating any visibility of glare by vehicles traveling north or south along S SR 29. L M O Cn Beyond the environmental benefits the proposed solar field will generate, a new solar power plant can also be a facility of which construction will stimulate the local economy. The M economic impact of the construction of the project will have a positive impact to the County o and the local area. At the height of construction, the solar site is expected to employ E E approximately 200 construction workers for a period of six (6) to eight (8) months. Those workers in turn will provide a boost to the surrounding economy by dining and shopping at o local conveniences while in the area. In the long run, the project provides the County and all r FPL customers the advantage of lower utility bills once the solar field is up and running and inputting power into the overall power grid. The proposed solar project will not produce any odor that would impact neighboring properties. A solar energy center supports a clean and green method of producing energy. Unlike ground -level ozone and other pollutants produced by cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, and chemical plants, a solar energy plant eliminates the potential for harmful toxic emissions caused by fossil fuels. Solar provides healthy air for future generations. 5. Compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district. The site and proposed use are compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the district. As outlined above, the proposed solar project will not create a compatibility issue in terms of noise, light, glare, or odor. Solar energy centers are virtually silent, operate autonomously and require no water for operation or maintenance. The panels sit low to the ground, and the layout of the site is uniquely designed to avoid impacts to wetlands and preserve areas. A solar center does not require staff to operate, so it will not bring more traffic to the area after construction. The surrounding area is comprised of mostly rural agricultural lands, with the nearest residential structure being approximately 440 feet from the closest solar panel development area. The proposed development standards comply with the underlying zoning district setbacks, and an enhanced 100-foot setback is proposed from the SR 29 frontage above and beyond what is required by the LDC. In addition to the proposed setbacks, the SR 29 frontage is comprised of an expansive area of existing vegetation, inclusive of preserve areas, ranging in width from 80+/- feet to more than 500 feet in some areas. This enhanced visual CU-PL20200001865, IMMOKALEE SOLAR Revised Date: May 11, 2021 Page 10 of 12 Packet Pg. 3113 17.C.1 screening will assist in mitigating any visual impacts from the solar panels to the nearby roadway. In addition to the significant setback from SR 29, there is a noticeable elevation difference between the project boundary and the existing conditions on SR 29, where the site is much lower than the travel lanes of the roadway. Due to the difference in elevation, the solar panels are lower to the ground, and will be difficult to see from the roadway or from any surrounding properties. The project will not utilize fill dirt to raise the solar panels up as is typical on most residential or commercial projects. In terms of maintenance and cleaning of the solar panels, the project will rely on rainwater to wash off the panels from any naturally occurring dust, dirt, or debris. There will be no use of industrial -grade solvents, washes, or soaps of any kind. There are no solar sites in the state of Florida that utilize anything other than rainwater. Therefore, the development will not result in a negative impact to the surrounding properties from a drainage and runoff standpoint. If the proposed Conditions of Approval are adopted, the proposed solar energy plant can be found compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the immediate area. Based on the above findings, this conditional use should, with stipulations as outlined in this staff report be recommended for approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION This project does not require Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project did not meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances. NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM): The NIM was scheduled for Thursday, February 25, 2021, 5:30 pm at the North Collier Regional Park, Exhibit Hall A, located at 15000 Livingston Rd, Naples, Fl 34109.

INTRODUCTION c.� In November 2020, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI), a Terracon Company, conducted a o cultural resource assessment survey (CRAS) of the approximately 632-acre Immokalee Solar W Energy Center Energy Center in Collier County, Florida (Figure 1.1). The project area comprises all, or portions of Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Sections 04, 03, 09, 10, 16, 15, 21, 22 as Y seen on the Immokalee (1987 Edition) United States Geological Surveys (USGS) topographical E quadrangle map. According to the Collier County Property Appraiser (CCPA), the parcels ID E numbers are 00063280003, 00064320001, and 00065000003. The investigation was undertaken N on behalf of Florida Power & Light (FPL) in compliance with State regulations. The goals of the LO survey were to locate, delineate, identify and evaluate all cultural resources within the proposed project area, and to assess their significance and potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) The term "cultural resources" as used herein is meant to refer to sites or objects that are archaeological, architectural, and/or historical in nature. All work was conducted with respects to the cultural resources provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (PL 89-190, as amended) and its implementing regulation 36 CFR Part 800 (Protection of Historic Properties); Chapter 267, Florida Statutes, as well as the Florida Division of Historical Resources (DHR) recommendations for such projects as stipulated in the Division's Historic Preservation Compliance Review Program manual and Rule Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code. The proposed direct effect area (DEA) for this project includes the property boundaries as direct effect area (DEA), and the neighboring parcels for visual effect areas (VEA). Given the nature of the proposed solar project, it was assumed that the VEA of 500-feet around the project boundaries was adequate for potential future projects. Prior to fieldwork, a search of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF) identified no previously recorded cultural resources within the project area. Fieldwork consisted of a pedestrian inspection along with 168 shovel tests. The fieldwork was conducted by archaeologists Brian McNamara, Joshua Newman, Robert Lundin, and Katie Ulewicz under the direction of Brent Handley, who served as Principal Investigator. Architectural survey methods consisted of a review of the Collier County property appraiser's website, a review of the FMSF for any previously recorded resources, and a pedestrian investigation to field verify all architectural resources within the project area. As a result of the survey, no archaeological sites, isolated artifacts, or historic structural remains were encountered. Based on the findings of the CRAS, it is the recommendation of Terracon Consultants Inc. that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed project.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Environmental variables have always had an important influence on the selection of habitation and special use sites by human groups. The availability of water, dry land, and associated natural resources (i.e., food, material for tools, etc.) has had a pronounced effect on prehistoric technological organization and mobility strategies (Anderson 1990:198). Therefore, knowledge of past environments coupled with archaeological data is critical to the reconstruction of past lifeways and in drawing appropriate conclusions regarding site location and interpretation. Physiography The project area is within the Estero Bay -Cape Romano Coastal Strip of the Southwestern Flatwoods district. The area is a low energy coast with few well -developed beaches and mangrove swamps. The poorly drained mainland is a flatwood plain with less than 12 feet in elevation. On a larger scale, the district is made up of Miocene and Pliocene sedimentary rocks (Brooks 1981). Soils According to the soil survey of Collier County, Florida (USDA), the project area is comprised of four distinct soil types (Figure 2.1). These soil types are described as the, poorly drained Oldsmar fine sand (0-2% slopes); Chobee, Winder, and Gator soils, (depressional); Holopaw fine sand; and Hilolo, Jupiter, and Margate find sands. Hydrology Running through the project area is a system or large drainage canals and smaller irrigation ditches. The irrigation ditches are furrowed in between planted orange grove rows in a north — south orientation. Also present in proximity to the project area are several low-lying wet areas. According to the soil survey, portions of the tract contain poorly drained soils. Current Conditions The project area is currently a fallow citrus grove. (Figure 2.2). Located in the north of the project area is an island of uncleared palm trees with a dense tropical understory (Figure 2.3). The southern area of the project tract is bisected by a large overhead power transmission line and corridor.

CULTURAL HISTORY OF FLORIDA Evidence for the earliest human occupations in the southeastern United States dates from the Paleoindian period (10,000 and 12,000 BC) to present time. This section will provide a board view of the major cultural traditions ranging from the Paleoindian period to the mid-201h century. Paleoindian Period The earliest radiocarbon dates firmly associated with human artifacts in unquestioned contexts indicate people were living in North Florida by at least 11,050 BP (Hemmings 2004). This was during the Clovis phase of the Early Paleoindian subperiod. Evidence for occupation of Florida during the subsequent Middle Paleoindian subperiod is much more secure. The diagnostic Suwannee and Simpson lanceolate bifaces are relatively common in north and central Florida, and although no radiocarbon dates have been obtained in association with these artifacts, they are believed to date sometime around 11,000-10,500 BP (Goodyear 1999). Prior to 2016, radiocarbon dates clustering at 10,000 BC have been generated from sites located in counties along the gulf coast (Cockrell and Murphy 1978; Clausen et al. 1979). However, by 2016, pre -Clovis occupation was indicated at the Page-Ladson Site within the Aucilla River in Florida (Halligan et al. 2016). This is the earliest evidence for human habitation in Florida, and the Southeast. The Page-Ladson site was calculated at 14,550 calendar years before present. This demonstrates that the earliest peopling of the North American was within the Gulf Coast region at the same time as other locations in North America. The Page-Ladson Site also indicated that the possibility of co -existence of humans and megafauna in the Southeast. Based on the recovery of diagnostic Paleoindian artifacts (i.e., stone projectile points), the major areas of Paleoindian site concentration are within the Northern Panhandle and central Gulf Coast regions of Florida, including the Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers of North Florida (Dunbar and Waller 1983). These localities are characterized by areas of exposed Tertiary age limestone that served as important sources of stone tool material to these early peoples. Theories about Paleoindian existence are based primarily upon site size and the uniformity of the known stone tool kit of the period. These Indians were nomadic hunters who supplemented their carnivorous diet by gathering various edible plants. The most widely accepted model for the peopling of North and South America argues that Asian populations migrated to North America over the Beringia land bridge that formerly linked Siberia and Alaska some 12,000 years ago (Smith 1986). However, archaeological data are mounting in support of migrations that date to before 12,000 years ago (Adovasio et al. 1990; Dillehay et al. 2008). Alternative pre-12,000 BP migration routes that have been hypothesized include populations travelling along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts using boats or following an exposed shoreline (Anderson and Gillam 2000; Bradley and Stanford 2004; Dixon 1993; Faught 2008; Fladmark 1979). These sites would now be inundated as a result of higher sea levels. Regardless of the precise timing of the first occupations, the current evidence suggests that Florida was not intensively inhabited by humans prior to about 12,000 years ago. Due to preservation biases in the archaeological record, lithic tools, generally associated with past hunting and butchering activities, are the most frequently recovered artifacts at Paleoindian sites. The most common Paleoindian implement was the stone lanceolate projectile point.

Archaeological evidence also suggests that bone pins, stone knives, lithic scrapers and atlatls were also used by Paleoindian hunters (Milanich 1994). Archaic Period The environment of the Archaic period (7500-500 B.C.) was characterized by warmer climatic conditions and higher sea levels, resulting in the emergence of a mesic oak -hickory forest (Milanich and Fairbanks 1980). Modern sea levels were reached around 5000 B.P. during the middle Holocene changing the climate of the area. The Pleistocene megafauna were unable to adapt to the more and Holocene environment. This period happens in this Holocene environmental time of change between 10,000 to 3000 B.P. As a result, Archaic period Indians focused their subsistence strategies on the procurement of smaller game, fish, wild plant foods, and in some cases, shellfish. Thus, the period seems to have been characterized by changes in human subsistence patterns, tool manufacturing techniques, and the surrounding environment itself. As the population became more sedentary, a variety of site types evolved, including base camps, short-term camps, procurement camps, and cemeteries. These site sizes increased during the transition of sub -stages (Early, Middle, Late Archaic) that were necessary for the changing systems of increased social complexity. By about 6500 BC, the Florida populace had developed a sedentary, or semi -sedentary, settlement system wherein groups seem to have established permanent habitation sites of larger size than had been utilized previously. However, small groups continued to roam the interior, periodically aggregating at large centralized settlements within the central highlands of North Florida (Hemmings and Kohler 1974). Recent excavation at the Wedgeworth site in south Florida revealed patterns that shed light on how Archaic people adapted, perhaps thrived in an environment long believed by archaeologist to have been unsuitable for the establishment of communities (Locascio 2019:4). While many small lithic scatter sites potentially dating to the Archaic period in Florida have been recorded, only a few large Archaic sites have been investigated archaeologically. Milanich and Fairbanks (1980:50-51) suggest that the increased variety of projectile points and tools may reflect ethnicity and perhaps, cultural relationships with similar groups located outside of Florida. Archaic groups produced a tool assemblage that was not as well executed as those of the Paleoindian period. Qualitatively, Archaic period stone tools are quite different from those of the earlier Paleo era in that, with some prominent exceptions, they appear to have been much more expediently produced. Observable wear patterns indicate varied uses of individual tools, and the degree of attrition is comparatively minimal in many cases, suggesting that tools were used sparingly before being discarded. Paleoindian tools, on the other hand, were manufactured for specific tasks, and were repeatedly used until they were lost, broken or worn out. The most well- known artifacts of the Archaic Period in Florida belong to a family of large, stemmed spear point types that are variations of a basic design, and include Hillsborough, Newnan, Alachua, Putnam and Marion types (Bullen 1975). Tools in other parts of the state where chert material for Archaic points were not available include bone and shell tools, bone awls, bone points, and manufactured antler tools. It can also be noted that different pottery manufacturing techniques emerged in the late archaic during the Orange period. Orange period Archaic sites have little difference from earlier Archaic sites in size, location, or artifact assemblages, except for the presence of this fiber -tempered pottery (Smith 2012).

The Calusa were a sedentary group that harvested whelk, shellfish and other marine food sources. Part of the Calusa's success came from their prime location north of the swamps and south of the generally unproductive prairies. This area has a gradual runoff of nutrients into the shallow inshore marine waters, which supported a healthy supply of natural food production. Fishing in shallow pools and estuaries was of utmost importance to the subsistence ways of the Calusa; agriculture was not practiced.

This focus on marine animals was supplemented with animals such as white-tailed deer, fowl, turtle and alligators (Fradkin 1976; Milanich 1994). It also appears that certain areas were fished on a massive communal scale employing techniques to gather the food source en masse (Milanich 1994). Vegetables also made up a portion of the Calusa diet and plants such as mastic fruit, prickly pear cactus fruit, palm fruits, sea grapes, hogplum cocoplum, goosefoot and starchy grasses have been identified in the ethnohistoric and archaeological records (Fontaneda 1944; Zubillaga 1946; Scarry and Newsom in prep.). The ceramic sequence introduced by Widmer (1988) follows. Caloosahatchee I (500 BC- AD 700) this period's dominant ceramic type are sand tempered and laminated sand tempered pottery. However, this period is more importantly marked by the lack of Belle Glades pottery, which is a distinguishing aspect of the Caloosahatchee II (AD 700-1200) period. Sites of this period include Solana (Windmer 1986); Useppa Island (Milanich et al 1984); Wightmand (Fradkin 1976); and Cash Mound (Marquardt 1992). Caloosahatchee II (AD 700-1200) was a period where the population among the Calusa had reached its critical level; where fissioning off into new villages along the periphery of an established village could no longer accommodate the population's stress on food levels. It is believed that the Calusa adopted a hegemonic rule over their neighbors in the region (Widmer 1988). Neighbors are gradually annexed into the Calusa culture by alliances or force. This increase in importance of leaders is reflected in the massive earthworks and other public works such as canals. An increase in leaders sway through the region starts to also be seen in the archaeological record by an increase in foreign goods. Various other hypotheses have been offered for the system of rule that persisted through Colonial Spanish times. These hypotheses explain the change from a hunter -gather lifestyle into a chiefdom by such rationales as prehistoric climate change and the protohistoric introduction of European artifacts (Marquardt 1986). In any event the Calusa were a people with a strong central power structure capable of organizing canal construction and large earthworks such as non -mortuary ceremonial mounds and having political sway over all of south Florida. The Buck Key midden and the John Quiet Site on the Cape Haze Peninsula have been dated to this period (Bullen and Bullen 1956; Marquardt 1992). Caloosahatchee III (AD 1200-1400) is a period that is mainly noted by the occasional inclusion of St. Johns, notably St. Johns Check Stamped and Englewood ceramics. It is thought that the St Johns ceramics are a trade item while the Englewood ceramics is believed to have been used in mortuary rituals. Galt, Josslyn Island, Pineland, and Buck Key contain shell middens that date to this period (Marquardt 1992). Caloosahatchee IV (AD 1400-1513) is a period when a lot of different ceramics from around Florida start being included in archaeological assemblages. Archaeological research has revealed the inclusion of Glades tooled ceramics coming into the Calusa region from the south. Safety Harbor Incised and Pinellas Plain ceramics, which are generally associated with the central Peninsular Coast Region around Tampa Bay, are also included in the Caloosahatchee IV assemblages.

European artifacts begin to appear in sites associated with aboriginal artifacts. Cultural materials from the Leon -Jefferson Mission period have also been recovered (Widmer 1988). Contact and Mission Period (AD 1539-1704) Accounts by Spanish explorers and missionaries, combined with archaeological data, have helped to specifically identify a number of the indigenous populations on the Florida peninsula. The major native groups of northern Florida were Timucuans, who were descendants of the St. Johns, Alachua, and other known prehistoric archaeological societies. Following the movement of the de Soto entrada through North Florida in 1539, the Florida natives were forced to adapt to a rapidly changing physical and cultural environment. During the Spanish Mission period, the native population was decimated by introduced European diseases, and groups were frequently relocated and consolidated to facilitate missionization and exploitation of their labor by the Spaniards. The historic period Indians of North Florida were a Western Timucua tribe known as the Utina, who are believed to have had the largest population of any Timucuan group (Milanich 1978:70; Milanich and Fairbanks 1980:217). The first documented contact with the Utina (Outina) was in 1528 by the Spaniard Panfilo de Narvaez (Milanich 1978:70). In 1539, the de Soto expedition traveled through the Utina territory, and visited three Utina towns including Aguacaleyquen, Uriutina, and Napituca (Milanich and Hudson 1993). It was in the Utina province that the entrada abandoned their northerly route and turned west toward Apalachee. After leaving the village of Aguacaleyquen, the entrada camped at a small, unnamed village that Milanich and Hudson (1993:177) place near Alligator Lake in Columbia County. At Napituca, located near the Suwannee River, de Soto and his men engaged in a battle with the Utina, whose warriors numbered over 300 (Milanich 1978:70). Several decades later, the French Huguenots, who occupied Fort Caroline near the mouth of the St. Johns River, reported interacting with the Utina, who lived a short distance (ca. 20 miles) west of the St. Johns River (Bennett 1964). Recent research indicates that there were two distinct groups referred to as Utina by the Europeans (Hann 1990). The confusion presumably stems from the fact that Utina is the common Timucuan word for chief (Milanich and Hudson 1993:150). Following the lead of Johnson (1991), Milanich and Hudson (1993) distinguish between the two Utina groups and designate the St. Johns group as Eastern Utina and the North Florida group as Northern Utina. Spanish Missions were established in the North Florida or Utina region during the early seventeenth century and continued until around 1689 or 1690 (Milanich 1978:73). Weisman (1991:191) argues that the Spaniards never used the term Utina but referred to the area as the "land or province of the Timucua." Prior to the founding of missions in North Florida, European contact with the Utina-Timucua was intermittent. The mid-17th century Utina population was more consolidated and groups were concentrated in sedentary horticultural villages in the southern and western sections of the Utina territory along the St. Augustine to Apalachee trail (Milanich 1978:74). The appearance of Leon -Jefferson ceramics at mission -related sites dating to the seventeenth century marks the movement of Apalachee Indians into North Florida.

British Florida (1763-1784) In 1764 Great Britain gained control of the Florida peninsula when Spain relinquished the province as part of treaty negotiations ending the Seven Years War, known better in the U.S. as the French and Indian War (1756-1763). Spanish colonists and their Native -American allies evacuated en manse. Most of the former Floridians moved to Cuba, while a few went to Mexico (Gannon, ed. 1996, 136; Gold 1961:29-54). Great Britain emerged from the war as the world's most powerful empire. In Florida, unlike during the recently terminated centuries of Spanish rule, the British did not have to concern themselves with hostilities and attacks from nearby enemy colonies; the entire Atlantic coast of North America was in British possession after 1763. With Florida, Great Britain acquired a colony, which had been emptied of rival inhabitants of European origin. The remaining Native Americans and escaped Africans did not qualify as settler material in the eyes of the British. With the Proclamation of 1763, British administrators split the former Spanish colony into East and West Florida at the Apalachicola River (Figure 3.2). The Proclamation of 1763 assigned Native Americans to lands west of the Appalachians in the colonies north of Florida. A 1765 agreement between the Native Americans in Florida and the new British government in East Florida relegated Native activity to the west side of the St. Johns River, in a manner similar to the Proclamation of 1763. Migrating Creek groups of Native Americans had begun moving into Spanish Florida about 1715 and by the time of the arrival of the British, these groups were known as Seminoles. They were the Native American participants in the 1765 agreement (Gannon, ed. 1996:187-89). The new British owners hoped to turn the Florida peninsula into a land of profitable plantations. Entrepreneurs in the British Isles devised exotic schemes toward that end. Indigo and rice were crops that were particularly favored at the time. Surveyors and publicists visited Florida to encourage land sales on the Home Island and subsequent development. A proclamation provided for township grants of up to 20,000 acres or for family grants that were apportioned according to family size. James Grant, the new Governor of East Florida was anxious to colonize the province. He realized that good roads would increase trade, speed communications, permit rapid movement of military forces and supplies, and encourage settlers to locate along the way (Coomes 1976: 36).

Based on surveys by James Moncrief, Military Engineer, and by William Gerard De Brahm, Surveyor General for the Southern District of North America, Grant recommended the location for a future settlement, and proposed to build "... a road from this place to the Mosquetoes. It will be a continuation of the Subscription Road and will be a continuation of the Subscription Road...". The location favored by Grant was selected some few years later by Dr. Andrew Turnbull for his New Smyrna colony (Coomes 1976: 37). The King's Road had hardly been completed when the American Colonies declared their independence from British rule. When Georgia and South Carolina required their citizens to take a strict oath of allegiance to the Revolutionary cause, the province of East Florida became a haven for the Loyalists. A stream of some 7,000 refugees came in 1778 alone. Many arrived in St. Augustine over the King's Road, and Governor Patrick Tonyn was hard pressed to take care of them (Coomes 1976: 43-44). Historian Leitch Wright thought that half of the 12,000 refugees were slaves brought by their fleeing owners. A community of Loyalist refugees sprang up at St. Johns Bluff, and at least 200 substantial houses appeared at the community, called St. Johns Town (Wright 1975:126).

This time it was the British who would evacuate, although quite a few British subjects chose to remain in now -Spanish East Florida. The in majority chose to relocate to other parts of the British Empire. Many of the migrants had only a resided in Florida for a short time. In July 1784 a Spanish governor once again took command of c the Florida peninsula. Spain, however, lacked the resources to develop the area, and the presence E of hostile Indian groups played into the decision not to expand. During the Second Spanish E period, Florida provided a place for runaway slaves, contraband trade, and slave smuggling. The N combination of angry homeless Indians, escaped slaves, British arms merchants and slave LO traders, and frontiersmen created a land of lawlessness and unrest. To further add to the confusion, new settlers coming from Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina were interested in adding Florida to the United States. When Andrew Jackson invaded Florida during the First Seminole War in 1818, it became clear that Spain could no longer control the region and it was transferred to the United States in 1821 as a territory (Adams 1990:4). c Seminole Period (AD 1750-1840) Following Moore's destructive raids (1702-1704) on the Spanish Mission system, which stretched from St. Augustine westward to present day Tallahassee, the North Florida region was abandoned. It was later occupied by Creek Indian refugees, known today as Seminoles, who began to infiltrate into northern Florida from Georgia and Alabama during the mid -eighteenth century (Weisman 1989). The most notable Seminole settlement in the vicinity was Alligator Town, which existed somewhere near Alligator Lake as late as 1817. Between 1821 and 1845, central Florida was the scene of numerous hostilities between several bands of Seminoles and white settlers. To the south, the rich pasturelands around East Lake Tohopekaliga were used by Spanish ranchers and Seminole Indians during the 19th century. The 1823 Treaty of Moultrie Creek confined the Seminoles to an approximately 4-million-acre tract in the center of the state (Mahon 1967:50). Over the next decade, two more treaties were forced upon the Seminoles in an attempt to remove the Seminole population to Oklahoma. The terms of the treaties were considered unfair by the Seminoles, and their signing led to the Second Seminole War in 1835 (Mahon 1967:75-83). A military outpost, Fort Mason, was established on the eastern bank of Lake Eustis around 1830. With the end of the Second Seminole War, the Armed Occupation Act was approved in 1842 to encourage settlement of central Florida. As a result, any family head or male over the age of 18 was eligible to receive 160 acres provided they agreed to cultivate at least five acres, build a dwelling, and reside there for at least five years (Tebeau 1980:149). Soon settlers, mostly southern Anglo-American farmers, began to infiltrate American Territorial (1821-1845) to the Early 20' Century In 1821, the United States government created the Territory of Florida and named Andrew Jackson military governor. Jackson initiated the Americanization of Florida, naming Tallahassee the seat of the territorial government. St. Augustine lost its political influence as capital of the province of East Florida, and instead became the seat of government for St. Johns County.

Still, by the end of 1825, the East Florida commissioners had confirmed 325 claims and rejected sixty-one others. Congress furnished final adjudication for eighty-eight other claims that consisted of 3,000 or more acres, while several large grants were adjudicated in the courts during the 1830s (Tebeau 1980).

BACKGROUND RESEARCH c.� Regional History: Collier County Southwest Florida remained virtually uninhabited until after the Civil War when farmers and in squatters made their way south. Early pioneers fished and hunted for a living, raised crops, dug a clams, made charcoal, sold bird plumes and trapped otters and alligators for their pelts and hides. c Trading posts started by Ted Smallwood on Chokoloskee Island and George Storter at E Everglades City became important gathering places for the few isolated settlers and Indians. By E the late 1880s, Naples and Marco Island were already gaining popularity as winter resorts for N wealthy Northerners and sportsmen (https://www.paradisecoast.com/article/quick-history-naples- LO the -paradise -coast). Collier County was created from the southern portion of Lee County by an act of the Florida Legislature on May 8, 1923. The decision was signed into law by Governor Cary A. Hardee, Florida's 28th governor. It is Florida's 62nd county and the third largest in total land area - 2,305 square miles (http://www.fl-genweb.org/decole/collier/Index.html). Collier County and the Town of Naples' creation in 1923, as well as its early economic growth, were closely tied to Memphis -born millionaire, Barron Gift Collier. With his fortune from streetcar advertising, Collier introduced paved roads, electric power, telegraphs and countless new businesses and homeowners to Florida's last frontier. The completion of the Tamiami Trail in 1928 also unlocked the region's enormous agricultural and resort potential. Florida's first commercial oil well was brought in at Sunniland in 1943, and Collier County's cypress logging industry flourished at Copeland well into the 1950's. World War II introduced hundreds of aircraft servicemen to Naples when the U.S. Army Airfield (now Naples Airport) was activated in 1943 to train combat pilots. At one point, several hundred men and 53 aircraft were assigned to the Naples base. Many veterans returned after the war as prospective home buyers and businessmen. A direct hit by Hurricane Donna in 1960, actually stimulated Naples' growth with an infusion of insurance money and loans. In the short span of thirty years, number of County residents swelled from 6,488 in 1950, to a phenomenal 85,000 by 1980. The County seat was transferred from Everglades City to East Naples in 1962 and signaled a new era of sustained growth in agriculture, tourism, and real estate that have made Naples and Collier County one of the fastest developing areas in the nation (https://www.paradisecoast. com/article/quick-history-naples-the-paradise-coast). 4-1 Irerracon Packet Pg. 3142 17.C.3 Immokalee Solar Energy Center ■ Collier County, Florida November 2020 ■ Terracon Project No. 207363 Ilerracon Florida Master Site File (FMSF) A review of the archaeological site file records maintained by the FMSF indicated that no previously recorded cultural resources are within the project area.

Historic Map Research A review of historic maps, along with aerial photography and satellite imagery indicates that the project parcel remained largely undeveloped throughout history. Deputy Surveyor William Apthorp depicted the property in 1872 as largely devoid of any landmark, trail or features. His map shows much of the region to be wetland (Figure 4.2). By 1958 highways 82 and 29 have been established, and together with the Atlantic Coastal Railroad to the east, are the main routes of travel through the region (Figure 4.3). Aerial photography from 1945 reveals the project tract to be mostly inundated grassland, with few trees (Figure 4.5). By 1987, area drainage and land reclamation efforts has brought more road development as the citrus industry begins to make use of the area (Figure 4.4.). A 1994 Satellite image shows the property fully established as a citrus farm, in a layout that remains virtually unchanged to the modern day (Figure 4.6). 4-5 Irerracon Packet Pg. 3146 Inunokalee Solar Energy Center Collier County, Florida Novernber2020 Terracon Project No. 207363 .—J M Id jJ.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY The fieldwork for this project was preceded by: a review of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF) to determine the presence of previously recorded cultural resources within the study area; an examination of soil maps; the attainment of familiarity with topographic maps of the project area so that elevation data could be utilized; a review of historic aerial photographs (UFDC); a review of the USGS maps; a review of historic topographic maps from the late 1800s and early 1900s (FCIT 2009; Topoview) and an investigation of previous archaeological research pertaining to the region. For the purpose of conducting a cultural resource investigation, it is important to focus on locations that are conducive to human settlement. The factors that are usually constant in locating sites include: well drained soils, availability of a water source, relative elevation and slope, and hardwood vegetation. While vegetation is usually an important indicator of elevation and soil type, native biotic communities are often not present today, owing to human induced environmental changes. Therefore, knowledge of past environments, coupled with archaeological data specific to a given area, is critical in predicting and interpreting site locations and in the reconstruction of past lifeways. Expected Results Given the size of the project area, and the scarcity of cultural resources in the general vicinity, it was expected that few archaeological deposits would be encountered during the pedestrian inspection and subsurface testing. The property drainage capacity is somewhat poorly to very poorly drained, which suggests a reduced probability. Field Methodology Fieldwork for direct effect area (DEA) consisted of pedestrian inspection coupled with subsurface testing throughout the project area. A 500-foot visual effects area (VEA) was established round the project area and was searched for any structures 50 years or older. Pedestrian Inspection: The walkover survey was conducted along transects spaced at 25 and 50- meter intervals that were aligned north -south and east -west. The pedestrian inspection focused primarily on areas of surface exposure and disturbance such as dirt trail roads, ditches, and agricultural fields. Subsurface Testing: The subsurface testing included the excavation of shovel tests throughout the project area at 25, 50, 100 and 200-meter intervals. Shovel tests (n=168) were square -shaped measuring 50 cm in diameter and extending to one -meter below ground surface whenever possible. All excavated soil was sifted through 6.35 min (1/4") mesh mounted upon a portable shaker screen. Locational accuracy in the field was maintained through the use of an aerial map, a compass, and GPS/collector applications. All field notes and maps from this survey were transported to the Terracon laboratory for curation. Historic Resource Survey: A historic resource survey was conducted to locate above ground historic properties within and adjacent to the study tract. The survey included a search of the FMSF database for known historic resources in the general vicinity, in addition to a search of the Collier County Property Appraiser website.

A standardized catalogue system, initiated during fieldwork, was employed to ensure that provenience data was recorded for all artifacts. This record -keeping method facilitated subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Site Significance In order for a site to be considered a significant resource, it must meet one or more of four specific criteria established in 36 CFR Part 60, National Register of Historic Places, nominations by state and federal agencies, and 36 CFR Part 800, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, Protection of Historic Properties. The evaluation of a prehistoric or historic cultural resource for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places rests largely on its research potential, that is, its ability to contribute important information through preservation and/or additional study. The National Register criteria for evaluation are stated as follows: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and; Criterion A: Properties that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of our history; Criterion B: Properties that are associated with lives of persons significant in our past; Criterion C. Properties that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; and Criterion D: Properties that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, important information in prehistory or history. While many archaeological sites are recommended as eligible to the NRHP under Criterion D, the potential to "yield information important in prehistory and history," this criterion is rather ill- defined. In order to clarify the issue of site importance, the following attribute evaluations add a measure of specificity that can be used in assessing site significance and NRHP eligibility: a). Site Integrity — Does the site contain intact cultural deposits or is it disturbed? b). Preservation — Does the site contain material suited to in-depth analysis and/or absolute dating such as preserved features, botanical material, faunal remains, or human skeletal remains?

Uniqueness — Is the information contained in the site redundant in comparison to that available from similar sites, or do the remains provide a unique or insightful perspective c=i on research concerns of regional importance? 0 M d). Relevance to Current and Future Research — Would additional work at this site a contribute to our knowledge of the past? Would preservation of the site protect valuable c information for future studies? While this category is partly a summary of the above E considerations, it also recognizes that a site may provide valuable information regardless E of its integrity, preservation, or uniqueness. LO LO Informant Interviews Locating archaeological sites and gaining familiarity with the history of a project tract is often facilitated through interviewing local citizens that live or spend time within close proximity to the parcel. One individual was encountered during fieldwork who was tending canal locks within the project area. The gentleman had no knowledge of any artifacts being discovered within the property boundary. Procedures to Deal with Unexpected Results Archaeologists frequently encounter unanticipated features that require efforts that exceed the scope of project expectations. In such cases, it is sometimes necessary to reevaluate the research design and/or seek additional funding to address unexpected discoveries. It is our policy to amend a project research design as needed to ensure that proper treatment and evaluation are afforded to unexpected findings. Coordination with the client and the office of the SHPO is a necessary step in such an approach. Unexpected findings might include the discovery of human remains during project construction, which would require additional coordination with the state archaeologist in compliance with Chapter 872.05, Florida Statutes, or a medical examiner if the remains appear less than 75 years old.

RESULTS In November 2020, Terracon conducted a CRAS of the Immokalee Solar Energy Center tract in Collier County, Florida. The goals of the survey were to locate, delineate, identify, and evaluate all cultural resources within the proposed project area, and to assess their significance and potential eligibility for listing in the NRHP. Field methods included a thorough pedestrian inspection coupled with shovel testing (n=168) (Figure 6.1). Pedestrian Inspection: The walkover survey included transects spaced at 25 and 50-meter intervals that were aligned north -south in line with citrus grove planting rows. During the pedestrian inspection, the project tract was noted as having severe soil disturbance through earth moving activities, which occurred mostly via land drainage, reclamation and irrigation practices. The fallow citrus groves are mostly overgrown with area grasses with limited visibility except for tree removal and artificial water management impacts. The citrus grove contains cut irrigation ditches that lead to drainage canals. There is also an underground irrigation system for crop irrigation. Historically the area was once wet prairie grassland. Area drainage was necessary to establish current agricultural land. Subsurface Testing: The subsurface testing consisted of 168 shovel tests dug throughout the project area at 25, 50, and 100-meter intervals. Most of the shovel tests revealed disturbed soils throughout the tract, primarily in the upper layers of the soil's stratigraphic profile. The disturbance was mostly related to agricultural practices; irrigation ditches or canals that occurred within the property since the mid to late-20th century. The lower stratigraphic layers of 70+ cm below surface are believed to be the original natural surface soil horizon. All of the tests were dug to 100 cm below surface whenever possible or terminating prior to 100 cm below surface due to hydric soils. A typical shovel test profile included the following: Stratum I (0 to 30 cm below surface) light grey sand; and Stratum II (31 to 70 cm below surface) grey sand; Stratum III (70 to 80 cm below surface) white hydric sand; and 80+ hydric. Another sequence was Stratum I (0 to 19 cm below surface) mottled grey brown sand; and Stratum II (19 to 100 cm below surface) very pale brown sand that is hydric in the deeper level. As a result of the subsurface testing and pedestrian inspection, no archaeological sites, isolate artifacts, or historic structural remains were encountered. Historic Structure Review and Indirect APE In addition to the archaeological survey, this study also included a historic resource survey to locate potential historic standing structures within parcels immediately adjacent to the DEA. The VEA was established as 500-feet from the project boundary. A review of the Collier County Property Appraiser revealed no identified structures within the viewshed of the project area. The historic aerial and map review identified only utilities, agricultural -related structures and two modern residential structures within the project area.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS c.� In November 2020, Terracon conducted a cultural resource assessment survey of the Immokalee Solar Energy Center tract in Collier County, Florida. The goals of the survey were to locate, in delineate, identify and evaluate all cultural resources within the proposed project area, and to a assess their significance and potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic c Places in accordance with National Register Criteria (36 CFR 60.4). E E The fieldwork strategy included a pedestrian inspection coupled with subsurface testing (n=168) N throughout the project area. The pedestrian survey included visually inspecting areas of exposed LO ground surface to locate artifacts and/or historic structural remains. The subsurface testing included the excavation of 168 shovel tests throughout the project area at 25, 50, 100 and 200- 0 meter intervals. As a result of the survey, no archaeological sites, archaeological occurrences or historic structures were encountered. Based on the results of the CRAS, it is Terracon's recommendation that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed solar project.

This essential service is permitted in the RLSA, excluding Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs) and Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSAs) as a Conditional Use. The Property is not located within an HSA or FSA. II. Property Information The Property is 578+/- acres in size and the existing land use is agricultural/citrus crops. Historically, the property has been utilized for agricultural purposes. The unique project boundary ensures the existing Above Ground Impoundment (AGI) system surrounding the property remains intact and continues to manage stormwater on the site as it has done so previously for the agricultural uses. Historical aerials are included in this application and in the environmental report prepared for this project and demonstrate the AGI that has been in place to support the agricultural development over the years. As shown on the Conditional Use site plan, the project does not propose to impact these areas and will continue to maintain the existing wetland flowway functions through the project as required for wetlands within the RLSA Open lands. III. About FPL & Solar Power The solar power plant will provide Collier County with a unique project that benefits the public by providing solar power to the overall power grid, which in time reduces the cost of power for all customers without generating toxic emissions. There are numerous benefits associated with each FPL solar project that include creating employment opportunities during construction, procurement of local resources when possible, economic boost to local businesses during construction, zero -emissions electricity generation, increased awareness of sustainable energy sources, and increased tax revenues for the county. FPL's new solar plants generate zero emissions energy, using only the sun for fuel. When the sun is shining, the panels absorb the sunlight and convert it into direct current energy. The energy then flows through an inverter where it is transformed into alternating current electricity, the kind that is used in a residential home. The energy travels through FPL's energy grid, where it is delivered to homes and businesses. The Applicant currently operates 28 solar power plants, two (2) that feature innovative energy storage, and hundreds of smaller solar installations. FPL's solar power plants are the fastest and most cost-effective way to bring solar energy to more Floridians. Already one of the cleanest energy companies in the nation, FPL recently announced a groundbreaking '30-by-30' plan to install 30 million solar panels by 2030, making Florida a world leader in solar energy. This year, solar will outpace coal and oil combined as a percentage of FPL's energy mix. In other words, soon FPL will be generating more energy from the sun than from power plants fueled by coal and oil. As Florida's largest generator of solar power, FPL currently has approximately 2,000 megawatts of universal solar capacity, with more than 8 million solar panels installed, including the following sites across Florida: • FPL Babcock Ranch Solar Energy and Battery Storage Center, Charlotte County • FPL Barefoot Bay Solar Energy Center, Brevard County • FPL Blue Cypress Solar Energy Center, Indian River County • FPL Citrus Solar Energy and Battery Storage Center, DeSoto County • FPL Coral Farms Solar Energy Center, Putnam County • FPL DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, DeSoto County • FPL Loggerhead Solar Energy Center, St. Lucie County • FPL Hammock Solar Energy Center, Hendry County • FPL Horizon Solar Energy Center, Alachua and Putnam counties • FPL Indian River Solar Energy Center, Indian River County • FPL Interstate Solar Energy Center, St. Lucie County • FPL Manatee Solar Energy Center, Manatee County • FPL Martin Next Generation Clean Energy Center (hybrid solar/natural gas), Martin County • FPL Miami -Dade Solar Energy Center, Miami -Dade County • FPL Pioneer Trail Solar Energy Center, Volusia County • FPL Space Coast Next Generation Solar Energy Center, Brevard County • FPL Sunshine Gateway Solar Energy Center, Columbia County • FPL Wildflower Solar Energy Center, DeSoto County • FPL Solar Circuit at Daytona International Speedway, Volusia County • Solar research installation at Florida International University, Miami -Dade County FPL's 10 newest solar plants entered service in 2020 and are projected to generate millions in total system savings for customers during their operating lifetime. In terms of compatibility, solar energy centers are virtually silent, operate autonomously and require no water for operation or maintenance. The panels sit low to the ground, and the layout of the site is uniquely designed to avoid impacts to wetlands and preserve areas. A typical solar site is between 96 — 97 percent pervious, which allows most of the site to remain as open space, as the panels are raised approximately two (2) feet off the ground. A solar center does not require staff to operate, so it will not bring more traffic to the area after construction. The duration of construction activities for a site of this size is approximately six to eight months, and as previously mentioned, will create about 200 jobs. The enclosed Traffic Impact Letter outlines how at build - out the maximum of four (4) trips to the site per month will create a de minimis impact to the surrounding transportation and roadway network, as the only trips to the site are for routine maintenance activities. IV. Conditional Use Criteria The following is a detailed analysis of this request's compliance with the variance review criteria set forth in LDC Section 10.08.00: 2 of 6 Immokalee Solar CU — PL20200001865 a. Describe how the project is consistent with the Collier County Land Development Code and Growth Management Plan. Include information on how the request is consistent with the applicable section or portions of the Future Land Use Element. The proposed electric or gas generating plant (essential service) is a permitted conditional use within the Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A -MHO RLSAO) zoning district. The use is allowable per LDC Section 2.01.03.G.1.a. The property is within the Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA), which states in its Goal as outlined in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) "To address the long-term needs of residents and property owners". The proposed solar power plant addresses the need for power, which all residents in Immokalee and Collier County rely on. By providing a solar power plant to Collier County in this location, the project is addressing long-term needs of the residents both in Immokalee and in Collier County as a whole. RLSA Group 1 Policy 1.2 is intended for the Overlay to protect "natural resources and retains viable agriculture by promoting compact rural mixed -use development as an alternative to low - density single -use development..."The site design of the proposed solar power field carefully and purposefully avoids impacting surrounding wetlands and areas of preserve located within the unique project boundary. The proposed CU is also in direct compliance with Coastal Conservation Management Element (CCME) Policy 6.1.1, which requires the preservation of native vegetation. The overall development footprint of the site includes minimal impervious areas, which allows for birds, small animals, and other wildlife to traverse the site. The project will also be in compliance with CCME Policy 7.1.1, which requires incompatible land uses to be directed away from listed species and their habitats. As previously discussed, the CU site plan carefully takes into consideration the location of those preserve areas within the project boundary and those not within that surround the project. As shown on the conceptual site plan, the solar array development areas are surrounded by a maximum 8-foot tall wildlife protection fence, which, in direct compliance with LDC Section 4.08.05.J.3.a.ii., is designed to minimize development impacts and to encourage wildlife to use wildlife corridors. The field fencing is also "panther approved" and safe for panthers and other small animals to cross through and freely traverse the site. The project will also secure all required state and federal permits relating to environmental protection. In direct compliance with RLSA Policy 1.4 and Policy 1.5 of FLUE of the GMP, the proposed solar power plant will not increase density or intensity of the site. The project is an essential service and contains no buildings, office space or restrooms. The project will not require a connection to public utilities for potable water or sanitary sewer, and will create a de minimis impact on the surrounding transportation network. RLSA Group 4 Policy 4.1 of the FLUE requires Collier County to encourage and facilitate uses that enable economic prosperity and diversification of the economic base of the RLSA. The project will provide an economic boost to County and to the local Immokalee area for the duration of the construction period, which can last anywhere from six (6) to eight (8) months. After construction and once the solar field is in full operation, the project will continue to be an economic benefit to the County by ultimately lowering the utility bills of those FPL customers. RLSA Group 5 Policy 5.6 of the FLUE also requires any lands within the RLSA to retain an appropriate amount of native preservation. The project is in further direct compliance with sub 3 of 6 Immokalee Solar CU — PL20200001865 Policy 5.6.1.ii. and LDC Section 4.08.05.M, which requires wetland flowway functions through the project to be maintained. The proposed solar site project contains a unique project boundary that was intentionally created to avoid impacting surrounding wetland and preserve areas. The existing surrounding wetlands, which are considered either isolated or seasonal wetlands based on their Open category within the RLSA, will continue to function as a means to drain water from the site. b. Describe the existing or planned means of ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure thereon with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. As depicted on the Conceptual Site plan, the one (1) point of access to the site is located directly east of SR 29 on the southern boundary of the project, providing access to SR 29 a state - maintained arterial roadway. The entire western boundary of the project, comprising 11,675+/- linear feet (2.2+/- miles), is adjacent to the SR 29 roadway. Pursuant to meetings with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Staff including the Project Manager of the SR 29 improvements on this segment of roadway, it was agreed the project does not impact the current design and is not required to provide sidewalks along this stretch of SR 29 based upon FDOT's rural cross section. In addition to meeting with the FDOT SR 29 Project Manager, the Applicant has had numerous meetings regarding transportation, access, drainage, and the impact on surrounding roadways with both Collier County Transportation Operations Staff and other staff at FDOT. Collier County Staff determined the project could provide a Transportation Impact Letter that outlines the de minimis impacts associated with the proposed project. The Transportation Impact Letter enclosed, prepared by Jacobs Engineering, concludes that approximately four (4) trips per month will be made to the site, which results in a de minimis impact to the surrounding roadway network. On October 27, 2020, the Applicant also met with FDOT regarding drainage as it relates to the Site Development Plan (SDP) process. It was also determined by Collier County Transportation Operations Staff and FDOT that the location of the project, on a state roadway in a rural area of the county with no existing facilities, would not be required to provide sidewalks along the SR 29 frontage. In the rare case of fire or catastrophe, the site fencing can easily be driven directly through by a vehicle, or the internal accessway system that provides the vehicular mobility around the site, can be taken to the exit where SR 29 can be accessed. c. Describe the effect the conditional use will have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic impact, and odor. As previously stated, the proposed solar power field is virtually silent in terms of noise and will therefore generate little to no impact from a noise standpoint on neighboring properties. In terms of glare, the Applicant will provide a Glint and Glare study at the time of Site Development Order approval, which outlines how the proposed solar panels create little glare due to the positioning of the panels and their significant setback from nearby roadways. The issue of glint and glare, as it pertains to photovoltaic systems, has been studied by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Air Force extensively. The Applicant takes precautionary design measures to ensure any glare from the placement of the solar panels does not cause travel hazards or impair the quality of life of the surrounding residences or buildings. The proposed 100- foot minimum setback of the solar panels from the SR 29 ROW will also assist in mitigating any visibility of glare by vehicles traveling north or south along SR 29. 4 of 6 Immokalee Solar CU — PL20200001865 Beyond the environmental benefits the proposed solar field will generate, a new solar power plant can also be a facility of which construction will stimulate the local economy. The economic impact of the construction of the project will have a positive impact to the County and the local area. At the height of construction, the solar site is expected to employ approximately 200 construction workers for a period of six (6) to eight (8) months. Those workers in turn will provide a boost to the surrounding economy by dining and shopping at local conveniences while in the area. In the long -run, the project provides the County and all FPL customers the advantage of lower utility bills once the solar field is up and running and inputting power into the overall power grid. The proposed solar project will not produce any odor that would impact neighboring properties. A solar energy center supports a clean and green method of producing energy. Unlike ground -level ozone and other pollutants produced by cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, and chemical plants, a solar energy plant eliminates the potential for harmful toxic emissions caused by fossil fuels. Solar provides healthy air for future generations. d. Describe the site's and the proposed use's compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district. The site and proposed use are compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the district. As outlined above, the proposed solar project will not create a compatibility issue in terms of noise, light, glare, or odor. Solar energy centers are virtually silent, operate autonomously and require no water for operation or maintenance. The panels sit low to the ground, and the layout of the site is uniquely designed to avoid impacts to wetlands and preserve areas. A solar center does not require staff to operate, so it will not bring more traffic to the area after construction. The surrounding area is comprised of mostly rural agricultural lands, with the nearest residential structure being approximately 440 feet from the closest solar panel development area. The proposed development standards comply with the underlying zoning district setbacks, and an enhanced 100-foot setback is proposed from the SR 29 frontage above and beyond what is required by the LDC. In addition to the proposed setbacks, the SR 29 frontage is comprised of an expansive area of existing vegetation, inclusive of preserve areas, ranging in width from 80+/- feet to more than 500 feet in some areas. This enhanced visual screening will assist in mitigating any visual impacts from the solar panels to the nearby roadway. In addition to the significant setback from SR 29, there is a noticeable elevation difference between the project boundary and the existing conditions on SR 29, where the site is much lower than the travel lanes of the roadway. Due to the difference in elevation, the solar panels are lower to the ground, and will be difficult to see from the roadway or from any surrounding properties. The project will not utilize fill dirt to raise the solar panels up as is typical on most residential or commercial projects. In terms of maintenance and cleaning of the solar panels, the project will rely on rainwater to wash off the panels from any naturally occurring dust, dirt, or debris. There will be no use of industrial - grade solvents, washes, or soaps of any kind. There are no solar sites in the state of Florida that utilize anything other than rainwater. Therefore, the development will not result in a negative impact to the surrounding properties from a drainage and runoff standpoint. 5 of 6 Immokalee Solar CU — PL20200001865 e. Please provide any additional information which you may feel is relevant to this request. In addition to the data and analysis provided, the Applicant is requesting a waiver from the required Historical and Archaeological Survey and Assessment. As outlined in the pre -application meeting notes, the Applicant will seek this approval from the Historic and Archaeological Preservation Board (HAPB). The waiver form is enclosed. The Property has been historically impacted by agricultural uses including citrus crops. The project's unique boundary maintains the surrounding wetland network and flow way, which also functions as stormwater management for the proposed solar field. The Applicant is filing a companion Variance petition seeking relief of the project's required perimeter landscape buffers. The proposed site plan associated with the Conditional Use depicts No Buffer Required labels for this reason. Where applicable, the perimeter of the project will utilize existing native vegetation to serve as a buffer. It is understood that the request for no landscape buffers on the CU site plan is contingent upon approval of the companion Variance petition. V. Conclusion In conclusion, the Applicant's request will allow a solar energy center, known in the LDC as an "electric or gas generating plant essential service", as a Conditional Use on the 578+/- acre property. The request will not produce traffic or transportation related impacts, will not increase the density or intensity of the property, will be compatible with the surrounding properties and land uses, will provide an economic benefit to the county and surrounding area, and will comply with the underlying RLSA policies in both the GMP and the LDC. For these reasons, the Applicant respectfully requests approval of this Conditional Use. 6 of 6 Immokalee Solar CU — PL20200001865 PRE -APPLICATION MEETING NOTES Ga*ler Gaunt COLLIER COUNTY GOVERNMENT 2800 NORTH HORSESHOE DRIVE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT NAPLES, FLORIDA 34104 www.colliereov.net (239) 252-2400 Pre -Application Meeting Notes Petition Type: Conditional Use (CU) Date and Time: Tuesday 9/29/2020 9:00 AM Assigned Planner: Tim Finn Engineering Manager (for PPL's and FP's): Project Information Project Name: Immokalee Solar (CU) PL#: 20200001865 63280003,64320001,65000003 Property ID #: Current Zoning: A-MHO-RLSAO Project Address: 4300 SR 29 N Applicant: Lindsay Robin City: Naples State: FL Zip: 34142 Lindsay Robin, Waldrop Engineering 239-908-3079 Agent Name: Phone: 281p0 Bonita Grande Dr.#305 Bonita Sprin s, FL 34135 Agent/Firm Address: City: Stgte: Zip: Property Owner Barron Collier Partnership Please provide the following, if applicable: V.

Kimley-Horn is performing a PD&E study to prepare design alternatives for the corridor that accommodate pedestrians and bicycles, improve transit faculties, and optimize vehicle access. The study team will analyze and assess the project's impact on the social, economic, cultural, natural, and physical environment to develop the location and design concept acceptance (LDCA) of the project in accordance with FDOT policy, procedures, and requirements. Environmental tasks included habitat assessment, wetland quality assessment, potential protected species involvement, Natural Resource Evaluation report, Pond Siting Report, and alternatives analysis evaluation for wetland and protected species. Apollo Beach Boulevard Extension/1-75 Flyover, Hillsborough County, FL Environmental scientist for the Kimley-Horn team designing the extension of Apollo Beach Boulevard from US 41 to Paseo al Mar Boulevard that will result in a 4-lane facility including the bridge over 1-75 to the eastern limits of the conservation easement or approach tie -down. Environmental tasks include SWFWMD and USACE permitting, wetland delineation, preparing mitigation plans, conservation easement modification and coordination with multiple agencies. Extending Apollo Beach from US 41 to US 301 will serve as an alternative east/west connection ultimately reducing traffic demands on Big Bend Road. This work effort includes alignment and traffic studies; surveying; geotechnical exploration, testing, and analysis; preparing engineering reports with right-of-way maps and environmental documentation incorporating roadway, stormwater detention, and wetland mitigation requirements; permitting requirements; and determination of right-of-way requirements. Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) Concept, Feasibility and Mobility Studies for Osceola County Expressway Authority (OCX) Master Plan Projects Environmental scientist providing protected species surveys and NEPA documentation of findings in the Natural Resources Evaluation report. Kimley-Horn conducted a Concept, Feasibility and Mobility Study for this planned expressway which widens the existing Poinciana Parkway and extends it to 1-4. Existing environmental and physical constraints were identified, which included mitigation banks, cemeteries, and extensive utilities. Alternative alignments were developed to minimize impacts and these alternatives are currently being evaluated. Due to development, a cemetery and utility constraints, a critical factor for determining feasibility of the expressway is its interchange connection to 1-4; therefore, interchange concepts were developed to determine the feasibility of tying into 1-4 at two different locations. Extensive stakeholder meetings and coordination occurred with property owners, utilities, developers, local governments, FDOT and Florida's Turnpike.

FBB is the largest species of bat in Florida. Although little is known about the habitat preferences of the FBB, evidence indicates that open freshwater and wetland habitats provide prime foraging areas. Roost sites have been observed in artificial bat boxes, roof tiles, and within woodpecker cavities in pines with an open midstory. The project site is within the USFWS Consultation Area for the FBB. Suitable foraging and roosting habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS and coordination with USFWS is ongoing. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Florida bonneted bat. Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) The Florida panther is listed as endangered by USFWS and FWC. The Florida panther is a large brown cat with a long tail. The panther inhabits large forested communities and large wetlands away from development for diurnal refuge (FNAI 2001). Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. While the project site is located within the USFWS consultation area and secondary zone for the Florida panther, converting orange grove and disturbed land into solar development increases the Panther Habitat Unit (PHU) land use score from 4.7 to 4.9, respectively. With this data, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Florida panther.

Preferred BCFS habitat consists of pine flatwoods, mixed hardwood -pine forest, and cypress swamp, with low growing ground cover. BCFS are known to use several habitat types for foraging, including golf courses, pastures with scattered trees and rural residential areas with wooded lots (Florida Committee on Rare and Endangered Plants and Animals — FCREPA 1992). BCFS build platform nests in slash pines and hardwoods (i.e. oak), and moss and stick nests in cypress and tops of cabbage palms. Suitable foraging and nesting habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Big Cypress fox squirrel. Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) Although the black bear is no longer federal or state -listed, it is afforded protection under the Florida Black Bear Conservation Rule (F.A.C. 68A-4.009). The Florida black bear utilizes a wide variety of forested communities needed to support its varied seasonal diet of black bears. Forested wetlands and baygalls (bayheads) are particularly important for diurnal cover and denning for the bear. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. It is unlikely the black bear would utilize the project site for denning purposes. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Florida black bear. Audubon's crested caracara (Caracara cheriway) The Audubon's crested caracara is listed as threatened by USFWS and FWC. Preferred caracara habitat consists of open country, including dry prairie and pasture lands with cabbage palm, cabbage palm/live oak hammocks, and shallow ponds and sloughs. Caracaras prefer to nest in cabbage palms, followed by live oaks. The project site is within the USFWS designated Consultation Area for the caracara. Suitable foraging and nesting habitat for the species is present within the project site and the species was documented within the project site during a separate due diligence event in the fall of 2019; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS and there are no documented nests within 1500-meters of the project site. Pre - construction avian surveys are planned for spring 2021 to confirm presence/absence of listed species and nests within the project site and immediate vicinity. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the crested caracara. Wood stork (Mycteria americana) The wood stork is listed as threatened by USFWS and FWC. Wood storks forage in shallow water in freshwater marshes, swamps, lagoons, ponds, tidal creeks, flooded pastures and ditches, where they are attracted to falling water levels that concentrate food sources. Colonial nesting occurs in a variety of inundated forested wetland types including cypress strands, cypress domes, mixed hardwood swamps, Page 20 sloughs, and mangroves. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the wood stork. Everglade snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus) The Everglade snail kite is listed as Endangered by USFWS and FWC. Preferred snail kite habitat consists of large, open freshwater marshes and lakes with shallow water, < 4 ft. deep, and a low density of emergent vegetation. Snail kites are dependent upon apple snails (Pomacea paludosa) caught near the water's surface. The snail kite usually nests over water in a low trees or shrubs such as willow, wax myrtle, pond apple, or buttonbush, but also in non -woody vegetation like cattail or sawgrass. The project site is within the USFWS Consultation Area for the snail kite. Marginal suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site and the species was documented within the project site during a separate due diligence event in the fall of 2019; however, no suitable nesting habitat occurs within the project site and no individuals were observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Pre -construction avian surveys are planned for spring 2021 to confirm presence/absence of nests within the project site and immediate vicinity. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the snail kite. Florida sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis pratensis) The Florida sandhill crane is listed by FWC as threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. The Florida sandhill crane prefers shallow freshwater marshes, pastures and open woods habitats for foraging. Nests can be found on the ground in marshy areas. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Pre -construction avian surveys are planned for spring 2021 to confirm presence/absence of nests within the project site and immediate vicinity. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Florida sandhill crane. Florida burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia floridana) The Florida burrowing owl is listed by FWC as threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. The Florida burrowing owl crane prefers high, sparsely vegetated, sandy ground. Natural habitats include dry prairie and sandhill. This owl makes use of ruderal areas such as pastures, airports, ball fields, parks, school grounds, university campuses, road rights -of -way, and vacant spaces in residential areas. Marginal suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Florida burrowing owl. Page 21 Little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) The little blue heron is listed by FWC as threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. The little blue heron forages in shallow marine, brackish, or freshwater areas, including tidal ponds, sloughs, marshes, and human - created impoundments. It nests in colonies in woody shrubs that are separated from land by open water. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the little blue heron. Tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) The tricolored heron is listed by FWC as threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. The tricolored heron prefers both fresh- and saltwater habitats such as fresh- and saltwater marshes and mudflats, brackish marshes, coastal beaches, mangrove swamps, hardwood and cypress swamps, and wet prairies. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site and one individual was observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the tricolored heron. Southeastern American kestrel (Falco sparverius paulus) The southeastern American kestrel is listed by FWC as threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. Preferred kestrel habitat consists of open pine habitats, woodland edges, prairies, and pastures throughout much of Florida. Nest sites are typically found in tall dead trees or utility poles generally with an unobstructed view of surroundings. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. It is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the Southeast American kestrel. Roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) The roseate spoonbill is listed by FWC as Threatened; it is not listed by USFWS. The spoonbill prefers freshwater mudflats and marshes, saltwater marshes, coastal flats, mangrove swamps, lagoons, wet prairies, and ditches for feeding. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the roseate spoonbill. Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Although the bald eagle is no longer a listed species, it is afforded protection in accordance with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. USFWS has established a standard 660-foot secondary and 330-foot primary protection zone around active bald eagle nests (USFWS 2007). Page 22 Based on the FWC bald eagle nest locator (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=253604118279431984e8bc3ebflcc8e9, site accessed October 5, 2020). No active bald eagle nests were documented on or within 660 feet of the project site. The closest documented active nest is CO034, located approximately 4.5 miles southeast of the project site. This distance exceeds any protection zones for bald eagle nests. Suitable foraging habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no suitable nesting habitat is present within the project site and no individuals were observed during the PSS. Pre -construction avian surveys are planned for spring 2021 to confirm presence/absence of nests within the project site and immediate vicinity. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the bald eagle. American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) The American alligator is listed as threatened by USFWS and FWC due to similarity of appearance to the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). Alligators thrive in a wide variety of wetland habitats including streams, ponds, lakes, freshwater marshes, and even ditches. Suitable habitat for the species is present within the project site and one individual was observed during the PSS. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the American alligator. Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couper�) The eastern indigo snake is listed as threatened by USFWS and FWC. Eastern indigo snakes utilize a variety of habitat types including: pine flatwoods, scrub areas, hydric pine flatwoods, wet and dry prairies, agricultural fields, coastal hardwood hammocks, mangrove areas and even human altered areas (USFWS 1999). This species will use gopher tortoise and armadillo burrows as underground refugia as well as natural ground holes, hollows at the base of trees, ground litter, and debris piles. Steiner et al. (1983) suggest that eastern indigo snakes in south Florida prefer hammock type environments and pine forests. Suitable habitat for the species is present within the project site; however, no individuals were observed during the PSS. Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake (USFWS, 2017 — Appendix B) will be utilized during site preparation and construction of the project. As a result, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the eastern indigo snake. Gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Gopher tortoises are listed as Threatened by FWC and as a candidate species for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by USFWS. Gopher tortoises are most often found on well -drained sandy soils in upland habitats with low -growing herbs. Suitable habitat for the species was documented within the project site during a 15% burrow survey; however, no gopher tortoises or burrows were observed during the burrow survey or PSS. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project will have no adverse effect on the gopher tortoise. Page 23 Protected Plant Species There were no protected plant species documented or observed within the project site. 6.0 SUMMARY Kimley-Horn has reviewed available data regarding known occurrences of state or federally listed wildlife and plant species on and near the project site, conducted protected species surveys onsite to record observations or signs of protected species, and assessed presence of potential suitable habitat for protected species. Coordination with USFWS is ongoing regarding federal listed species. While federal and state protected species have been documented and/or observed on site and within one (1) mile of the project site, construction of the project is likely to have little, if any, disturbance on species utilization of the habitats within the project site. No impacts to on -site wetlands are anticipated as a result of project construction and wildlife friendly fencing will be utilized where feasible following construction. Pervious area will remain throughout the site, and existing vegetation will be preserved where feasible. Post -construction planting efforts will aid in recruiting new vegetation to disturbed areas. Based on the PSS, no impacts to protected species are anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed project.

The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.

This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cells) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1, The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. https:Heccs.fws.gov/ipac/locationlGAY068R6UVG03P4CVOMxE6VQTI/resources 7/13 1 R1212R20 IPaC: Explore Location 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2, 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. Breeding Season( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort ( ) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. No Data ( ) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe If Wk Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. it M %41W) I probability of presence breeding season survey effort no data SPECIES ]AN rB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC American Kestrel+1'111 1111 4-1•' BCC ..

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. MML % N\00111111 What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. r The migratory bird list generated for your project is derl ed from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.

How do 1 know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds https:Heccs.fws.govApacllocatlonIGAY068R6UVG03P4CVO MXE6VQTI/resouroe s 1 R113 10/2/2020 IPaC: Explore Location guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some paint within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the fallowing distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Nolithst Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlyiQg the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapp g o1iWarine4ird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. r J , Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the v g B1�'d Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid celI(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and far the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting paint for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or https:Heccs.fws.gov/ipac/locationlGAY06BR6UVG03P4CVOMXE6VQTI/resources 11/13 10/2/2020 IPaC: Explore Location minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed.

The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. U R Data precautions N\000 Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory.

At least 30 days prior to any clearing/land alteration activities, the applicant shall notify the appropriate USFWS Field Office via e-mail that the Plan will be implemented as described below (North Florida Field Office: jaxreg_s(d),,fws. og_v; South Florida Field Office: verobeach(&,,fws.gov; Panama City Field Office: panamacityAfws.gov). As long as the signatory of the e-mail certifies compliance with the below Plan (including use of the attached poster and brochure), no further written confirmation or "approval" from the USFWS is needed and the applicant may move forward with the project. If the applicant decides to use an eastern indigo snake protection/education plan other than the approved Plan below, written confirmation or "approval" from the USFWS that the plan is adequate must be obtained. At least 30 days prior to any clearing/land alteration activities, the applicant shall submit their unique plan for review and approval. The USFWS will respond via e- mail, typically within 30 days of receiving the plan, either concurring that the plan is adequate or requesting additional information. A concurrence e-mail from the appropriate USFWS Field Office will fulfill approval requirements. The Plan materials should consist of. 1) a combination of posters and pamphlets (see Poster Information section below); and 2) verbal educational instructions to construction personnel by supervisory or management personnel before any clearing/land alteration activities are initiated (see Pre -Construction Activities and During Construction Activities sections below). POSTER INFORMATION Posters with the following information shall be placed at strategic locations on the construction site and along any proposed access roads (a final poster for Plan compliance, to be printed on 11" x 17" or larger paper and laminated, is attached): DESCRIPTION: The eastern indigo snake is one of the largest non -venomous snakes in North America, with individuals often reaching up to 8 feet in length. They derive their name from the glossy, blue -black color of their scales above and uniformly slate blue below. Frequently, they have orange to coral reddish coloration in the throat area, yet some specimens have been reported to only have cream coloration on the throat. These snakes are not typically aggressive and will attempt to crawl away when disturbed. Though indigo snakes rarely bite, they should NOT be handled. SIMILAR SNAKES: The black racer is the only other solid black snake resembling the eastern indigo snake. However, black racers have a white or cream chin, thinner bodies, and WILL BITE if handled. LIFE HISTORY: The eastern indigo snake occurs in a wide variety of terrestrial habitat types throughout Florida. Although they have a preference for uplands, they also utilize some wetlands and agricultural areas. Eastern indigo snakes will often seek shelter inside gopher tortoise burrows and other below- and above -ground refugia, such as other animal burrows, stumps, roots, and debris piles. Females may lay from 4 - 12 white eggs as early as April through June, with young hatching in late July through October. PROTECTION UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE LAW: The eastern indigo snake is classified as a Threatened species by both the USFWS and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "Taking" of eastern indigo snakes is prohibited by the Endangered Species Act without a permit. "Take" is defined by the USFWS as an attempt to kill, harm, harass, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, trap, capture, collect, or engage in any such conduct. Penalties include a maximum fine of $25,000 for civil violations and up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment for criminal offenses, if convicted. Only individuals currently authorized through an issued Incidental Take Statement in association with a USFWS Biological Opinion, or by a Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit issued by the USFWS, to handle an eastern indigo snake are allowed to do so. IF YOU SEE A LIVE EASTERN INDIGO SNAKE ON THE SITE: • Cease clearing activities and allow the live eastern indigo snake sufficient time to move away from the site without interference; Personnel must NOT attempt to touch or handle snake due to protected status. Take photographs of the snake, if possible, for identification and documentation purposes. Immediately notify supervisor or the applicant's designated agent, and the appropriate USFWS office, with the location information and condition of the snake. If the snake is located in a vicinity where continuation of the clearing or construction activities will cause harm to the snake, the activities must halt until such time that a representative of the USFWS returns the call (within one day) with further guidance as to when activities may resume. IF YOU SEE A DEAD EASTERN INDIGO SNAKE ON THE SITE: * Cease clearing activities and immediately notify supervisor or the applicant's designated agent, and the appropriate USFWS office, with the location information and condition of the snake. * Take photographs of the snake, if possible, for identification and documentation purposes. * Thoroughly soak the dead snake in water and then freeze the specimen. The appropriate wildlife agency will retrieve the dead snake. Telephone numbers of USFWS Florida Field Offices to be contacted if a live or dead eastern indigo snake is encountered: North Florida Field Office — (904) 731-3336 Panama City Field Office — (850) 769-0552 South Florida Field Office — (772) 562-3909 PA PRE -CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES 1. The applicant or designated agent will post educational posters in the construction office and throughout the construction site, including any access roads. The posters must be clearly visible to all construction staff. A sample poster is attached. 2. Prior to the onset of construction activities, the applicant/designated agent will conduct a meeting with all construction staff (annually for multi -year projects) to discuss identification of the snake, its protected status, what to do if a snake is observed within the project area, and applicable penalties that may be imposed if state and/or federal regulations are violated. An educational brochure including color photographs of the snake will be given to each staff member in attendance and additional copies will be provided to the construction superintendent to make available in the onsite construction office (a final brochure for Plan compliance, to be printed double -sided on 8.5" x 11" paper and then properly folded, is attached). Photos of eastern indigo snakes may be accessed on USFWS and/or FWC websites. 3. Construction staff will be informed that in the event that an eastern indigo snake (live or dead) is observed on the project site during construction activities, all such activities are to cease until the established procedures are implemented according to the Plan, which includes notification of the appropriate USFWS Field Office. The contact information for the USFWS is provided on the referenced posters and brochures. DURING CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES 1. During initial site clearing activities, an onsite observer may be utilized to determine whether habitat conditions suggest a reasonable probability of an eastern indigo snake sighting (example: discovery of snake sheds, tracks, lots of refugia and cavities present in the area of clearing activities, and presence of gopher tortoises and burrows). 2. If an eastern indigo snake is discovered during gopher tortoise relocation activities (i.e. burrow excavation), the USFWS shall be contacted within one business day to obtain further guidance which may result in further project consultation. 3. Periodically during construction activities, the applicant's designated agent should visit the project area to observe the condition of the posters and Plan materials, and replace them as needed. Construction personnel should be reminded of the instructions (above) as to what is expected if any eastern indigo snakes are seen. POST CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES Whether or not eastern indigo snakes are observed during construction activities, a monitoring report should be submitted to the appropriate USFWS Field Office within 60 days of project completion. The report can be sent electronically to the appropriate USFWS e-mail address listed on page one of this Plan. Qn Qn = o = � o o.

This letter is being provided pursuant to the methodology meeting notes provided by Mike Sawyer, and comments received during the Conditional Use Pre -Application conference call on September 29, 2020. It is my professional opinion that upon completion of construction, the proposed project creates a de minimis transportation impact. The proposed project is a 74.5 MW solar energy center located on approximately 578 acres located in eastern Collier County directly east of the intersection of SR29 and SR82. The Conditional Use proposes a remotely operated, unmanned essential service solar facility. Occasional visits to the solar facility will be made for periodic maintenance and grass mowing. Based upon the operation of similar size existing solar facilities in Florida, it is anticipated that approximately four (4) trips per month will be made to the site. It is my opinion that this level of traffic constitutes a de minimis traffic impact and therefore we respectfully request that this letter serve as the Transportation Impact Letter required to support the Conditional Use request.

This search DOES NOT constitute such a review.
