Agenda 10/22/2024 Item #16A 7 (Resolution - Amending the Growth Management Community Development Department Services Fee Schedule reflecting operating costs)10/22/2024
Item # 16.A.7
ID# 2024-1041
Executive Summary
*** This item continued from the October 8, 2024, BCC Meeting. *** Recommendation to approve a Resolution
amending the Growth Management Community Development Department Services Fee Schedule reflecting the operating
costs associated with subdivision review, preliminary plats, and minor easement use agreements, with an effective date of
October 8, 2024, in accordance with the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-13.
OBJECTIVE: To amend the Growth Management Community Development Department (GMCD) Services Fee
Schedule with operational costs associated with subdivision review, preliminary plats, and minor easement use
agreements.
CONSIDERATIONS: Several business operations within the GMCD are funded by fees within the core service areas
of Development Review and Building Plan Review & Inspections. GMCD has historically implemented cost-saving
measures through staff-initiated process improvements that passed savings on to customers. The proposed changes are
associated with minor Easement Use Agreements, Plats, and Private Providers.
On January 14, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) established a policy for an Easement Use Agreement
associated with minor encroachments in utility, drainage, or similar easements. This administrative process requires
consulting with the County attorney’s office and the Road, Bridge, & Stormwater Maintenance Division to verify that
the proposed improvements do not conflict with the utility companies, survey, plat, or any easements of record that
would otherwise require a standard Easement Use Agreement and provide the necessary paperwork to the customer.
Approximately 1500 minor easement use agreements have been executed since this policy was established, and this
workload exceeds that of a standard plan review fee.
An amendment to Land Development Code (LDC) Section 10.02.04, together with Florida Statute (FS) 177.073,
establishes a process to allow for the construction of single-family homes prior to plat recording effective October 1,
2024. The new process and associated fee will be added to a list of existing applications that involve construction plans
and plats for subdivisions.
Florida Statute 553.791 allows a Private Provider to provide building code inspection services to the Florida Building
Code, including plan review. Private Provider licenses, including Professional Engineers (PE), Architects (AR),
Building Code Administrators (BU), Building Inspectors (BN), and Building Plans Examiners (PX), as well as their
required insurance, expire at regular intervals. The statute allows the building official to create a system of registration
to verify compliance with the licensure requirements and the insurance requirements. With the increasing number of
registered Private providers (26 new in the last 24 months), staff time to manually track the expiration dates has
increased. This fee will allow us to automate the expiration and renewals within our software.
Beyond the targeted fee changes, certain other clarifications were made.
Based on this review, the following is a summary of proposed changes to the GMCD Services Fee Schedule:
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.2.a
Change: Clarification to the existing PPL & PPLA application. The fee shall be $1000.00.
Justification: This is a clarification to the fee schedule. The existing subdivision application fee applies to all
subdivision projects.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.2.b
Change: The application fee shall be $1000.00.
Justification: The fee is for subdivision plats that will issue building permits before plat recording and is related
to recent legislative changes to FS 177.073, also known as a preliminary plat. The proposed changes will provide
a revenue source to offset the administrative costs associated with reviewing and evaluating applications for
subdivision plats and associated building permits.

Item # 16.A.7
ID# 2024-1041
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.4
Change: The fee name shall be changed to Subdivision, Conceptual Plat with Deviations (CPD), (CPDA).
Justification: The proposed change is to avoid confusion with the preliminary plat process per FS 177.073 and
match the changes to LDC 10.02.04, as approved by the BCC on 09/24/2024.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.4.b
Change: Clarification that the 3rd and subsequent review fee is $500.00.
Justification: This is a clarification to the fee schedule. The existing 3rd and subsequent additional review fee
applies to all subdivision projects.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.5.a
Change: The application fee shall be $1000.00.
Justification: The fee is for subdivision plats that will issue building permits before plat recording and is related
to recent legislative changes to FS 177.073, also known as a preliminary plat. The proposed changes will provide
a revenue source to offset the administrative costs associated with reviewing and evaluating applications for
subdivision plats and associated building permits.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.5.b
Change: Clarification that the 3rd and subsequent review fee is $500.00.
Justification: This is a clarification to the fee schedule. The existing 3rd and subsequent additional review fee
applies to all subdivision projects.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.6
Change: The application fee shall be $500.00.
Justification: Construction Plan projects require a pre-application fee that can only be applied to subsequent
application fees. Construction plan projects currently only have review fees. The proposed changes will provide a
revenue source to offset the administrative costs associated with reviewing and evaluating applications.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.7
Change: Add the project abbreviation CPP to the existing fee.
Justification: This is a clarification to the fee schedule.
Fee changes for Subdivision – Section G.11
Change: The abbreviation for the project name is corrected to match the application rename.
Justification: This is a clarification to the fee schedule.
Fee changes for Engineering Services – Section L.16.b
Change: The application fee shall be $100.00.
Justification: Minor Easement Use Agreements have been an administrative process since 2020. The proposed
changes will provide a revenue source to offset the administrative costs associated with reviewing and managing
minor easement use agreements. Staff must coordinate legal documents with the Road, Bridge, and Stormwater
Maintenance Division, utility companies, and the County Attorney’s office to process the agreements.
Fee changes for Private Providers – Section PP.2
Change: The registration fee shall be $45.00.
Justification: The proposed registration fee will offset the costs of maintaining the private provider licenses and
insurance information.
These changes were discussed at the August 7, 2024, and September 4, 2024, Development Services Advisory
Committee (DSAC) meetings.

Item # 16.A.7
ID# 2024-1041
FISCAL IMPACT: Recent State updates have introduced changes associated with subdivision review, preliminary
plats, and the requirement to establish a process allowing the construction of single-family homes prior to plat recording.
Based on annual historical data, the $500 pre-application fee for CNST applications is estimated to generate $11,000,
the $100 Easement Use Agreements (EUA) fee is projected to generate $22,000, and the $45 annual registration fee
$3,300 annually. Staff expects minimal applications for a Preliminary Plat process; however, to provide clarification to
the fee schedule, the existing subdivision application fee will apply to all subdivision projects. Changes in revenue for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 are dependent on permitting activity and economic conditions.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No growth management impact is associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: County Attorney review of the easement use agreement for minor encroachments is
limited to ensuring the correct form is used and the signature is proper. This item is approved as to form and legality,
and requires a majority vote for adoption. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve a Resolution amending the Growth Management Community Development
Department Services Fee Schedule reflecting the operational costs associated with subdivision review, preliminary plats,
and minor easement use agreements, with an effective date of October 8, 2024, in accordance with the Collier County
Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-13.
