IQ Water System: Short-Term
Continue to develop additional supply by:
./Incorporating IQ water into year round
residential irrigation ordinance for
managing peakS (artificially created by
unsynchronized watering schedules).

XERISCAPE:
Concept initiation: Denver Water Dept., 1981
Purpose: Conserve and protect water supply
Fiction:
Xeriscapes are best suited to deserts
Plant material is very limited: cactus and rocks
<50% water used on irrigation.
Reduce water U~ 30-80%
Plant material is unlimited . .' ,

SUGGESTIONS
1). Adjust sprinkler heads; lower risers accordingly;
convert planting beds to low volume irrigation
(BByshoreRd.,Pinclti(\&eiU.S.41)
2). Increase environmental responsibility; avoid
fast.growing trees on state Exotic Pest Plant list
(LivinpoaRoad)
3). Raise mower blades; reduce mowing frequency;
reduce turfgrass areas wherever possible

areas within right of ways.
Some sites are so tight that minimum is barely met.
2. Buffering and ScrHnlng:
The purpo.. and Intent of
estabUshlng landscape buffering and screening
is to:
a.) Reduce the potential Incompatibility of MiJ~ land UMS;
b.) ConAfVt n.tul1lll'MOUr~ and maintain open apace;
c.) Protect 81tabllst1td r..ldenllal neighborhoods. and enhance
community kilIntlty;
d.) Impr~ the _thetlc app...ance of commercial, Industrial,
and reaidential d..,.lo~ments through the requirement of
minimum landscaping In ways that narmonlle the natural

Buffers are required between
different Land Uses to:
Promote ground water recharge thru

residential irrigation ordinance for
managing peaks (artificially created by
unsynchronized watering schedules),
'/Fully optimizing supplemental well water by

Information management
Stakeholders: - Pending Magnitude of
event-
o Partial activation of the EOC.
o Field "liaison" positions staffed at the
field incident command post by EM
and EMS staff,
o Scheduled media advisories and joint
information center if the event
warrants,
Operational Activities:
II
o Emergency Management has maintained a
high readiness posture
. EQC and field resources are "ready-now"! ( A-Z)
. External agencies are ready to assist the.EOe
team.
o Emergency Management conducted multi-
agency strategy meeting on February 14th.
o Independent Fire Districts and Dependent
Fire Districts are committed going to work
together on Public Information activities
along with Forestry.
Elected Official Support:
.
o Help promote a unified command and
EOC working relationship,
o Support resource needs- if needed:
. Rental equipment.
. Temporary refuge or shelter operations -
utilizing facilities other than schools for
short duration events.
. Provide emergency funds if needed.
3
Elected Official Support:
Ci)
o Monitor closely status of burning bans at
the state leveL
o Support Wildfire Safety educations efforts
along with Severe Weather Awareness
week activities in February.
o Be prepared for possible state of
emergency declaration for wildfire-
(Typically- has little community
prohibitionsl but may be essential for
agency reimbursements).
Local Resources - Chief Greenberg
o All Districts ( Dependent and Independent)
will have a compliment of equipment and
personnel.
o Mutual Aid Systems - in good working
order with assistance from Charlotte and
Lee County, assuming their availability.

could be impacted if the greater protection
benefit is for limited resources being placed
to save homes and businesses.

Drought Tolerance: What is it?
How can existing plants become drought tolerant?
Efficient Irrigation: Plant component functions
Plant Survival: What can we do?

XERISCAPE:
Concept initiation: Denver Water Dept., 1981
Purpose: Conserve and protect water supply
Fiction: Xeriscapes are best suited to deserts
Plant material is very limited: cactus and rocks
Fact: <S()Ofo water used on irrigation.
Reduce water use 30,80% " "
Plant materisl is unlimited .. .

SUGGESTIONS
1), Adjust sprinkler heads; lower Tis...s accordingly;
convert planting beds to low volume irrigation
(8QyshoreRd., PineRidgei U.S. 41)
2}. Increase environmental responsibility; avoid
fast.growing trees on state Exotic Pest Plant list
(Livingston Road)

The Collier County Minimum
Landscape Code
What does minimum
landscape code do?
Protects property values and encourages
economic development.
Improves the appearance of development.
Improves the appearance of parking lots.
Balances the ratio of paved area to green
area.
Screens unattractive things like dumpsters
and service areas of buildings.
Buffers incompatible uses.
Attempts to replace vegetation lost to
development.
What is minimum landscape
code?
Why is it required?
1
Most Landscaping In Collier
County Is well above code
minimum...
Minimum Code Landscaping Is required for
Commercial, Industrial, Mixed Use developments, &
Multi.famlty developments. This ~ include
areas within right of ways.
Some sites are 80 tight that minimum Is barety met.
2. Buffering and Scre.nlng:
The purpose and intent of
establishing landscape buffering and scr.enlng
Is to:
a.) Reduce the potenUallncompatlbillty of adjacent land u...;
b.) Conserve nlltural resources and maintain open apace;
c.) Protect established resldentHll neighborhoods, and enhance
cornrrunltyldentlty;
d.) Improve the anthettc appearance of commercial, industrial,
and residential devek)pments throuah the requirement of
m4nimum landscaping In ways thllt fiarmonlze the natural
and built environment;
e.) Promote preservation and planting of native plants and
plant convnunltl..;
f.) Provide physlca' and paychologlcal benefits to persona
through teridscaplng by redudng noi.. and gtere,
g.) Screen and buffer the h....her visual -.peets of urban
development;
2
h.) Improve environmental quality by reducing and
reversing. air, nol.., heat, and chemical pollution
through the preservation of canopy trees and the
creation of shade and rnlcroc:llmate;
L) Reduce heat gain In or on buildings or paved areas
through the mterlng capacity of trees and
veg.tiltlan; and
J.) Promote water cons.rvatlon by encouraging the
use of native and drought-tolerant vegetation and
properly zoned irrigation systems through
xeriscape.
k.) In order to minimize negative effects between
adlacent land us.., this section promotes the us.
of andlcape buffers and sc....n. to eliminate or
minimize potential
Buffers are required between
different Land Usa. to:
Promote ground water recharge thru
retantlon/detentlon
Slow down run-off & filter
Maintain open (green space) by providing a
physical strip of pervious landscaped area.
Protect residential neighbors
Improve aesthetic appearance of
