2.0 PROGMMMING ~ DESIGN
2.1 PRoaJMH JMTtONALE
All design work starts with a program of what it wishes to accomplish in both broad and
specific terms. In the case of the SSMP, the most important program element is the
establishment of a design "theme" which is more broadly referred to as "character".
Therefore. the SSMP addresses the issue of Program in the context of identifying and
establishing landscape design character for Collier County's urban area roadways.
2.1.1 ~ The following major goals were established in order to provide a system
of Landscape Character of major roadways:
2.1.2.3
Be responsive to existing conditions and also accommodate future growth;
Recognize both civic and design issues while at the same time being site
specific, memorable, and implementable;
Minimize problems inherent in streetscape work and maximize
opportunities for public enjoyment of its public right of way use;
Establish the opportunity to create design guidelines which are easily
implementable;
Relate to the community and its standard of life; and,
Be comprehensive in its use of relevant data (Sec. 1.5).

2.2 ESTAgUSHHENT ~t 1)ESraN 1)rRECTtON t~/l- PLlgUC
tNPLlT
The ultimate goal of the Streetscape Master Plan is to be adopted and implemented by the
City of Naples and Collier County governments. In order to achieve this goal, it has been 2 - 1
necessary to obtain wide spread community support. Consensus building, as an approach
toward establishment of community support was accomplished through an interactive review
process. Therefore, the following generalized design concepts were developed as a means
of generating discussion and input.
2.2.1 C,....'cfl /: c,.,-lca,,~t ~(~V41"'''I Streets pass through various regions,
hence, they do not have a character themselves, but rather, the region does. The street
should reflect and interpret the region, not vice-versa.
However, it should be remembered that in some cases the street is expressive of the entirt~
region, and becomes an embodiment of regional character. Pennsylvania Avenue (the
Nation's '1 Main Street) in Washington D.C. and the Blue Ridge Parkway through the Great
Smokey Mountains, are notable examples. In adclition to establishment of regional character,
these streets also interpret and reflect their immediate surroundings.
For example, Goodlette Road and Golden Gate Parkway, which have been the subject of an
earlier study, have been assigned a "parkway" character which is superimposed over all
regions through which these streats pass.

2.2. 2 C.{>~ r,; C~ Zc-t--U Since the SSMP network of streets is
comprehensive, the entire network should be perceived as being related not only to its particular
location, but aiso perceived as a part of a comprehensive urban area streetscape system.
For this reason, a "zonal" approach to character definilion was established. Each street will be
assigned a character zone which relates to natural and man made environmental concerns
These zones are defined by a number of criteria, inciudlng their regional identity. The
establishment of zones will provide for creating streetscape solutions that respond to the
immediate area while also establishing design continuity throughout the streetscape system.
2.5 E>TAF:USHHENT OF DESIGN CHARACTER
After review of both existing conditions and policies of the Collier County Master Plan, specific
streetscape design characteristics emerged These characteristics can be grouped by their
natural and man made features Into "zones" In this sense, the "Design Character" of a street
create definitions of landscape zones
2.4 CHARACTER DEFfNITfON
Proposed landscaping should be inspired by eXisting, positive site characteristics. The character
of a street or place IS defined by the following
features'
2.4.1 E~~ P/I.Cfc~ L~
U4U. (figure 2-0)
Land uses adjacent to streetscape network
corridors heip to determine the intensity and
character of proposed landscaping. in qeneral
more urban land uses can support more formal
landscape treatments since architecture tends
to be more qeometric in character (fiqure 2-1)
It can be argued that one seeks reiief from
architectural intensity in urban areas by use of
a soft, naturalistic iandscape. And, a more
geometric or structured landscape may seem
out of character when placed adjacent to
suburban and rural land uses.
2.4. 2 1I~4'-. Existing native
vegetation, adjacent to rights of way, shall be
preserved and enhanced to achieve the goals
for the Streetscape Master Plan (figure 2-2)
This approach reduces the amount of
landscaping required to achieve the objectives
of the Master Plan which strives to "fit" the
landscape into it's setting. Wetland stands of

cypress trees, and sandhill vegetation associations dominated by pine and saw palmetto are
two primary types of native vegetation. Mature stands of exotic species including Melaleuca,
Australian pine and Brazilian pepper are also prevalent. Native plant material is encouraged
while the use of exotic plant material is discouraged in the SSMP.
Where possible, the streetscape shall replicate adjacent existing native vegetation within the
right of way. The SSMP encourages removal of adjacent exotic vegetation and to discourage
its use along roadways, consistent with State and County regulations.
Heavily vegetated edges shall be preserved to create, or maintain a "parkway" character.
Much of existing portions of Golden Gate Parkway and Santa Barbara Boulevard have this
potential. among others.
Finally, visually significant stands of native vegetation shall be enhanced and preserved to
open views from streets. They are a valuable character resource that would be difficult and
expensive to replace.
2.4.:; ~ f~ I Ll4~ f~. Both natural and unique features
induding open prairies, wetland bogs and slews, agricultural fields, waterways, and forests all
give a strong sense of special character which shall be preserved.
Unique features include cultural elements that are not present in nature. They can be
perceived as bad or good. Powerlines, switching stations, land fills, and highly industrialized
areas are elements that may otherwise have a negative impact on the landscape. Historic or
interesting architecture and man-made waterways can become positive features. Streetscape
landscape can assist in buffering or accentuating views of these elements.
2.4. 4 ~. Views are critical to establishing the character of a landscape. As mentioned
above, views of adjacent features can be enhanced or diminished by the use of proper
landscape treatments. Views of landscape elements within the right of way can be identified
by analyzing "line of sight" and "view period"
Fii.lge
2-3
"l..ine of Sight" determines what, in the motorist's view, is most noticeable. and therefore most
important for consideration in landscaping. In general, the motorist's line of sight occurs in an
angle from straight ahead to an oblique angle slightly off to one side. By identifying criticai
sight lines and views, landscaping can be placed in appropriate locations.
As roadways bend, or when a motorist is stopped at a "T" intersection, views become
concentrated straight ahead. These locations are especially important to establishment of
landscape character.
"View Period" refers to the length of time the traveling motorist has to perceive his/her
surroundings. Great levels of landscape detail in the form of small, intricate planting beds are
lost to the motorist on high-speed highways. High Speed highways require bold, and dramatic
landscape expression to capture attention. At intersections and where travel speedS are
slower, landscaping can be more formal and intricate. Therefore, roadway speed becomes
important to understanding relevant landscape character.
~
N..f14~ q 0 ~.~
2.4.S ~. The most important aspect of topography in southwest Florida is its
flatness. As a result views canry great distances. Therefore, accentuation by landscape can
be significant. Any vertical eievation such as a bridge, or highway overpass creates dramatic
view opportunities in an otherwise flat landscape.
2.4.~ f1.:"~r-tfu,.",~~~I)t"...~.,.. Most people can
agree on what is a good or a bad view; what traffic situations are safe or dangerous; and what
unique features need to be buffered (disguised from view), or enhanced. Natural land forms
and features create the best opportunities for enhancement, while land fills, weed infested
ditches and utility lines create the most commonly occurring problems to be minimized. The
newcomer, or casual observer, of the Collier County landscape may interpret this experience
as a monoculture with little diversity. However, there is a subtle diversity, in comparison with
regions of the country that have a wider temperature range and accentuated topography. This
region has vegetation that spans climatic zones between subtropical and tropical. There is a
predominate cover of slash pine I palmetto and oaks, punctuated by enciaves of wetlands,
both freshwater and saline.
Since wetlands are protected by State, County and Water Management district regulations,
they provide opportunities for conservation throughout the region, including within public rights-
of-way. Native vegetation stands, be they upland or wetland, represent the best. and least
expensive methods of right-of-way enhancement. Preservation where these opportunities
occur and relocation of them in adjacent public right's-of-way create a contextually appropriate
design solutions for some streetscape network segments. These are opportunities that should
be maximized.
Collier County also has it's share of problems to be minimized or mitigated through landscape
design. Envisioned as a tropical "paradise", the existing condition and native landscape of
Collier County creates great challenges. In conflict with the perceptual notion of "tropics", it
is interesting that no habited portion of Collier County lies within this climatic zone A tropical
landscape has been estabiished to create an image of a tropical paradise. While this practice
accommodates a marketing objective, there are costs to consider since maintenance of any
"imported" landscape is always more costly than that which occurs naturally.

2.4
Another common probiem to over come throughout the County is a the unsightly network of
drainage ditches and culverts, most of which occur within the view of the streets cape network.
Several new communities, which have control over their drainage systems, deal with the
problem.at inception: buried drainage pipes connect various lakes which in turn, connect to
out-fall structures.
Public right-of-ways are especially impacted visually since open ditches represent the primary
form of storm water run-off conveyance. Open drainage ditches would be acceptable except
for the following reasons:
l' They are costly to maintain in a weed-free condition.
l' They are full to over flowing with runoff during the rainy season.
l' They are empty during the dry season.

~
In all cases, drainage ditches are open to public view within our right-of-way Mitigation of
unpleasing views would be achieved by either screening drain ditches from view or to enhance
them as naturalistic aquatic landscapes.
As an example, the "Grey Oaks" community
has incorporated the required Airport Road
drainage ditch into its' community water
amenity (figure 2-3)
Collier County has many aesthetically pleasing
commerciai enciaves. The County also has
several strip developments that may be
benefitted by architectural guidelines The
Streetscape can help improve strip
commercial aesthetics by screening Views,
providing continuity by use of repetotive
landscape forms, and thus creafing a Visual
order. In many cases. adequate space IS
lacking or difficult to use for landscape plantlngs due to the presence of sidewalks, utilities,
and other structures which will require Judicious use of landscape materials to achieve the
above design objectives

In response to State of Flonda mandate (Ch 163, FL Statutes) Collier County maintains a
comprehensive plan to guide development. This plan identifies several generalized land use
categories through which the streetscape network traverses.
These land use categories, while too general to give specific direction to streetscape design,
do create a pattern of development SUitable for defining character zones The following use 2 - 5
designations represent the major land uses in Collier County which are approprrate for
guidance of streetscape development
2.4.7.1 Urban These are areas that shouid contain the greatest residential densities
and commercial growth. T!ley are in or close to areas projected to receive support
facilities and services
2.4.7.2 Urban-mixed Use District. ThiS district provicles for accommodation of a
number of compatible urban land uses rnciudlng a wide range of residential types with
certain commercial and industrial uses.
. Urban ReSidential Subdlstrrct - The purpose of this distrrct IS to allow the greatest
residentlai densities where few natural constraints occur and maximum
concentrations of support Infrastructure are expected to occur
.
Urban Residentla! Fringe Subdistrrct - This is a transition zone between the Urban
District(s) and Agricultural/Rural Olstnct(s). Residential densities of up to 1.5
du/acre are allowed

. Urban Coastal Fringe - This is a transitional zone between Urban and designated
Conservation areas. It generaily occurs between U.S. 41 and the Gulf.
Residential densities within this District are limited to 4 du/acre
. Industrial Subdistrict - This ailows for the full range of industrial land uses as
described in the Coilier County Zoning Code for Industrial and Light Industriai
zoning districts.
. Commercial Subdistrict - This district occurs in existing Urban Mixed Use districts.
Uses inciude those that already exist or as permitted by zoning
2.4.7.3 Urban - Commercial District. This district is located within mixed use activity
centers which occur at major designated arterial street intersections. A second
subdistrict. of limited appiicatlon in the Streetscape Master Plan, is the PUD
Neighbortlood Commercial Subdistrict, which is a part of comprehensively planned new
communities.
. Activity Center Subdistrict - These are mixed use districts which are anticipated
to accommodate most new urban growth. They occur at designated intersections
throughout Collier County. While a mix of Urban uses is encouraged. most
proposed projects have been Commercial. especially Retail Centers. It is
anticipated that these activity centers wiil help aileviate sprawl or strip commercial
development and to create focal points of activity within the County. They
represent the best opportunity for urban design expression outside of existing
towns and shopping areas.
. Three Activity Centers occur at interchange locations on 1-75. These have specific
shapes depending on an approved geometry of commercial - residential land use
at each interchange. The remainder of the activity centers are ail the same size -
160 acres, which are Y, mile on a side with the center of the activity center 2 - 6
coinciding with the center of the intersection.
2.4.7.4 Urban - Industrial District. This district permits industrial uses that include
light manufacturing, processing, storage and warehousing, distribution centers and
other uses as described in the Zoning Ordinance for Industrial & Light Industriai Zoning
Classifications.
2.4.7.5 Agricultural/rural Designation. In accordance with the Coilier County
Growth Management Plan, the Agricuitural/Rural Designation are "those areas which
are remote from the existing development pattern, iack public facilities and services.
are environmentaily sensitive, or are in agricultural production," If this zone appears
within the context of the Streetscape Network. a xeriscape landscape treatment should
be provided since irrigation may be limited. Functional attributes of landscape, such
as buffering and view direction may be appropriate and desirable in these zones.
. According to the Comprehensive Plan. Urbanization is not promoted and a iimited
selection of land uses other than low density residential and agricultural will be
permitted. Therefore, If landscape is instailed in these areas, it would be
protected from change by future growth.
~
N"~
. Mixed Use District - This district allows for some residential in a predominately
agricultural area. Commercial is also allowed, up to a maximum of 2.5 acres.
. Rural-Industrial District - This district is reserved for Industrial and Light Industrial
uses as described in the Collier County Land Development Code (LOC). The
boundaries of these districts may change depending upon demand for more
industrial uses. Industrial use areas have a negati...e impact on the streetscape
appearance. When industrial areas are positioned as frontage uses on arterial
streets whictl service the entire County, streetscape design becomes even more
important and necessary. Screening of views and softening of appearance are
two prime applications of landscape design in industriai districts
. Rural-Settlement Area District - this is a specific area designation located in the
former North Golden Gate Subdivision and is governed by a specifiC PUD
ordinance. It does not front on current streetscape network streets.
2.4.7.6 Estates Designation. This is an area currently subdivided into semi-rural
iots, averaging 2.5 acres in size. It is rural in nature and future increases in densities
would be discouraged.
2.4.7.7 Conservation Designation. The purpose of this district is to conserve and
maintain natural resources of the County. All attempts will be made to maintain
ecological and physical characteristics of the native landscape in these areas. While
roadways may be considered highly disruptive to these natural landscapes, a
responsive technique for streetscape design may be available. It is pOSsible that
roadway impact to the natural landscape may be mitigated by providing native or
naturalistic landscapes within these public rights-of-way.
2.~. g ~t<<>H E~ (!~. Naples and Collier County are unique in
comparison with any other regions of the United States. Not only is this area's
geomorphology, climate, and vegetation unique, so are its politics and cultural background.
While it may not be necessary to become overly comprehensive in an understanding of this
place in order to prepare landscape guidelines for streetscape, it is necessary to have a
general understanding of the forces at work which impact the character of the streetscape.

An important assumption must be made to identify design character zones: Existina and
orooosed character of the natural and cultural e"",ironment should be reflected in and au ide
landscace p8velooment This approach toward streetscape design provides the basics for the
following objectives:
2.4.'.1 Design must be COlt conscious to implement and maintain;
2.4.1.2 The design solutions should be the easiest to understand and therefore abie
to gain consensus; and.
2.4.1.3 Design solutions shall best represent this area's unique natural and cultural

2.5.2.2 Design Since Activity Centers
have the highest intensity of use, the
landscape must be careful to allow adequate site distance at mtersections and provide far
opportunities to view adjacent slgnage, architecture, pedestnans and traffic. Since the
landscape wlli compete for attention '.'\11th architecture, traffic, and signage, the
predominate color should be green It will thus have the greatest opportunity to convey
tile landscape cl1aracter In an urban condition. It should also conSist of repetitive and bold
forms thus providing ,3 sense of urban design continuity in potentially chaotic architectural
and vef1icular surroundings Keep It simple, keep it bold, and keep It green in activity

herbaceous perenials except as ground covers. Instead. plant woody matenals with
dense strong branching structures ti1at are capable of withstanding greater intenSity of use
and impact from traffic. pedestrians, and wind blown deb(ls Care should also be taken
not to over piant these smaller, urban beds In an effol1 to overcome their small size
Resultant plantings will appear awkward and out of place with tne hOrizontal space
available to them

2.5.2.3 Medians Frequentiy, medians tend to become very narrow to noneKlstent as a 2 -10
result of a need for multiple turn lanes at intersections and shopping center parking lots.
As a result of diminished median planting areas to help soften these high Impact areas,
roadside plantings are encouraged
A variety of plant materials emphasizing both color and texture are recommended for
medians Significant use of a "signature" tree and/or palm are recommended due to a
need for masses of planting Wlthlllllll1lted planting spaces. Color should be prOVided year-
round in accent planting beds Major trees and palms can be tightly spaced and placed
on geometric centers for a contro[led and elegant effect.
This is the only zone where manicured hedges placed In bold Simple patterns may be
appropriate. A layering affect of various ground covers and shrubs, alternating color,
shades of green, and texture throughout the entire plant bed Will proVide drama and
interest to these heavily exposed areas As one approaches major Intersectrcns w!"',ere

planting areas of two feet in horizontal dimension or greater. The use of mulch, either
organic (wood chips) or inorganic (rocks, gravel, sand) is recommended only in mature
planted areas where the dimension of residual mulch beds would be less than two feet in
width.
2.5.2.4 Roadsides Roadside plantings should be encouraged to the extent planting
space may be available. Linear beds of shrubs/groundcovers with an overstory of a
canopy tree or palms on regular spacings will:
l' mitigate visual impact of high trafficked areas,
l' provide order to frequently architecturally chaotic surroundings,
l' help to screen views of adjacent parking lots from roadways, and
l' provide edge definition to roadways that have a soft rather than harsh character
consistent with the image of Naples and Collier County.
Recommended plant material species, soils, and cultural practices for Activity Center
Zones are provided in Section 4.0, Planting Specifications.
2.5.2.5 Non-Planted Areas This SSMP also recognizes that significant opportunities for
non-planted iandscape features are needed in the form of:
l' Pedestrian sidewalks, including textured cross walks, preferably with "safe" zones
in medians. Decorative paving for sidewalks are encouraged.
l' Lighting, both for vehicular use areas, and at a "human scale" for pedestrians.
Human scale lighting along sidewalks may consist of bollard lighting (42" mounting
height) andlor decorative overhead lighting (mounting height of 8'-0" to 12'0").
l' Street Fumishings. Benches, trash cans, bike racks, kiosks, trellis, and pedestrian
shelters would all be appropriate in edges of Activity Center streets. All should be
of a consistent design theme and meet all applicable local building code
requirements.

greater than four (4) feet in height may be appropriate, especially if they do not
provide a hazard to motorists, and provide continuity of an architectural theme
throughout the Activity Center. In no case shall either fences or walls be located
flush with sidewalk edges, regardless of height.

development in a primarily residential context.
It is a transition zone between Activity Centers
and Residential Use Areas
2.5.3.1 Character The overall
landscape design character is a 50ft, free
flowing organization of shrub beds,
groundcovers and lawn (figures 2.6 and
2-7). The overstory consists
predominantly of native hardwood canopy
trees. Accent areas of palms and/or
flowering trees are encouraged, especially
at intersections
One should strive for a minimum of 60
percent canopy closure at matur;ty within
medians and 50 percent median coverage
by use of shrubs and ground covers, lawn
and muich beds may encompass the
remainder of landscape bed coverage
where no mulch bed exceeds two feet III
width.

transition from Activity Center (Urban) to
Residentiai Zones There should be a diminishing use of botll a formal geometry of plant 2 - 13
bed layout and use of shrub material which would require a formal clipped appearance
Ground planes should undulate proViding for visual relief and a greater opportunity to
showcase plantlngs Grades should never exceed 3.1 slopes Isolated depressions,
unless drained by use of catch basin, are discouraged As demonstrated in the plant lists
In Section 3.0, greater use of FlOrida native plant material is encouraged And,
correspondingly, there should be less dependence upon use of water in Irrigation systems.
2.5;3.3 Roadsides These areas prOVide for additional but not mandatory planting
opportunities of canopy trees, shrubs and groundcovers The predominant planting areas
will consist of lawn grasses. Canopy trees and paims should be spaced regularly but in
groupings of no fewer than seven specimens each. Accent clusters of trees and/or palms
should be proVided at the corners of major intersections to provide further Interest to street
tree plantings and to serve as "gate posts" for important street crossings Care should be
taken to coordinate canopy tree plantings with plantings which occur in immediately
adjacent use areas Irrigation mayor may not be available for roadside plantings.
Coordinate plant selection with availability of artificial means of water supply and
distnbution.

usually immediately adjacent to back of street curb or a few feet away in the most urban
sections of this transitional zone Lighting occurs as tali 00 T standard "pole and ann"
for illumination of the adjacent roadway and sidewalk. Ideally, Sidewalks should have a
meandering alignment to provide for a soft appearance and to provide for interesting plant
bed configurations

2. $. if R~ ~ This zone occurs within the Urban/Residential Land Use Area
of the Collier County Comprehensive Plan and is entireiy residential. It is frequently fronted
by large pianned unit developments (PUD) which provide landscape buffers along roadways
with limited to no views to residential dwellings within the community (figure 2-8).
2.5.4.1 Character This is a very "soft"
landscape zone In character. Often,
street edges are already landscaped with
plantings or piantings and perimeter wall
combinations Wide, open medians are
usually available, some containing
drainage swales Interruptions usually
only occur at PUD main entrances
Landscape need not fill the available
planting area, but shall occur as dnfts of
plant beds in an undulating lawn or other
less maintenance prone material. Where
possible, native plant materials in rather
large groupings shall be encouraged. Slash pine, Live oak and Sabal palm are
predominate tree species. while Buttonwood, Cocoplum, Sea grape, Wax myrtle and Saw
palmetto are shrub species that would be consistent within this zone
Accent plantings in the medians at major
PUD intersections should be encouraged,
even if they depart from the native plant
materials which are planted elsewllere.
These plantings may reflect the species
and design character of the adjacent
major entry landscapes thus prOViding
design continUity throughout the entire
intersection (figure 2-9)

2.5.4.2 Design ,^- soft, spaCIOUS,
naturalistic character should not be
difficult or costly to maintain. Large
medians shall be predominately planted in
lawn grass A drought tolerant Bahia variety shall be selected and irrigated only as
necessary during the "dry" season or dUring periods of drought. A selection of native
trees and shrubs shall be naturally drought resistant Occasional large beds of fiowering
perennial shrubs shall be encouraged, perhaps every quarter mile or so, to provide color,
interest and seasonal change.

2.5.4.3 Medians In addition to the above description, medians may need to be phased
iandscapes which accommodate eventuai road widening. Wide medians of 4-lane divided
roadways shall retain edges in an expendable but soft green iandscape Low cost ground
covers or drought tolerant lawn grasses would be appropriate. Wide expanses of mulch
(organic and/or inorganic) are to be avoided.

2.5.4.4 Roadsides Many Residential Zone landscapes have large Planned Unit
Developments as frontage properties Subdivisions and large single family home
properties are aiso present In many cases, It is possible, indeed desirable, to allow these
adjacent uses to become the "edge" condition of public rights of way. If those edge
conditions consist of wails or other hard architectural elements, additional tree material
and groundcovers which employ the use of Florida native plant materials may be
necessary.
As previously described, additional piantings should be arranged in ,nformal masses
where no single species grouping consists of less than a dozen members This would be
consistent with tile grand scale of this landscape
2.5.4.5 Non-Planted Areas In Residential Zones, non-planted areas consist pnmanly
of sidewalks, bikeways end street lightlllg If space permits Sidewalks should have a
pleasing, soft honzontal alignment RadII of less tnan 50 feet shouid De avoided, except

2. S. S A~ Zc",..e. Farm fields, pasture land, and native undeveloped
pinelands create the adjacent land use "ithin the Agricultural Zones for streetscape In the
Urban Area of Collier County, the Agricultural Zone has been transitional. Remaining
agricultural areas w!llllkely become another use classification, most frequemiy Residential.
Therefore, decisions about when and If to plant medians should be made on a case by case
basis Interim plantlngs are recommended and should be coordinated with future roadway
development.
2.17
2.5.5.1 Medians Agncultural Zones usually do not have curb and gutter, are
expansive in size (40'+ Width) and frequently contain drainage swales. They are generaliy
inhospitable planting conditions for all but the most hardy of plant materials
Large stands of Live oak, Slash pine, Saw palmetto, Wax myrtle, and Sabal palms should
be the basic native paiette of plant matenals, No permanent irrigation systems should be
installed unless pnvately funded and maintained Soils may require amendment to
remove road bed materials and replacement with native topSOil In planting areas
Never force any controlled geometry to plantings of tree materials In Agricultural Zone
medians. The native fringe areas of adjacent agricultural pasture and farm lands should
serve as a useful gUide to character of pianting beds and tree massings. Only drought
tolerant grasses should be used. Manicured mulch beds would be Inconsistent with the
character of this zone and should be avoided.
Maintenance should consist of manual watering irrigation for 3 - 5 months. Following this
establishment period, only occasional mowing (bi-monthly) should be required.

2.5.5.2 Roadsides The edges of Agricuiturai Zones present opportunities for
significant mass piantings of native tree materials as a continuation of and linkage to
median landscapes. informal groupings of trees along with drifts of native shrub materiais
can help frame views of adjacent pasture lands from the highway
Only xeriphitic pi ant matenai reqUiring little or no irrigation, other than grow-in support,
should be planted Oniy Bahia grass should be pianted for thiS reason
2.5.5.3 Non-Planted Areas There will be Iittie to no areas aiong roadsides that will not
be planted Given the transitional nature of this iandscape zone, sidewalks may not be

2.5.6.2 Design Landscapes should be drought toierant, easy to maintain and
consistent with adjacent zones, Tr,e most important function of landscape in the Utility
Zone is to create a pleasant expenence as one moves through it to an adjacent zone
2.5.6.3 Medians Design of medians should reflect and be a continuation of design
guidelines provided for other, adjacent landscape zones in order to create additionai
buffering, it may be advisable to increase intensity (size and quantity) of plantings for a
linear distance of 1,5 times frontage of the actual utility
2.5.6.4 Roadsides Edges of roadways fronting on utility land uses should be heavily
planted, approaching 100% opacity at maturity, These plantings must be of the same
character and matenal usage 3S tile adjacent zones Avoid use of plant materiai which
may tend to draw attention to itself; but rather attempt to biend in these visually impacted
areas with their surroundings,
2.5.6.5 Non-Planted Areas ImperVIous surfaces (walks, bikeways), lighting, street
furnishings, and graphics should be a continuation of those found immediately before and
after the Utility Zone The intent is to maintain a continuity of the streetscape experience,

2.5.7.1 Character More extensive
systems may provide tile most natural
iandscape opportunities avaiiable These
natural areas should be reflected in
median plantings if possible. in this way
the roadway will more effectively blend with the naturai environment and become a part
of it rather than dominate, Large natural areas may be replicated to some degree in
available median space Drifts of buttonwood may be planted where the adjacent

Smaller natural Ireas (shorter than 'I. mile frontage) may be treated in one of two ways.
First. they may be treated as an extension of landscaping of the adjacent zone, using
similar plantings IS found before and after the natural area. Second, they may be
planted as an extension of the natural area into the median. This would give the
impression of the natural area passing through the street. rather than vice-versa. It
would also provide an interesting accent to adjacent landseape zones.
2.5.7.2 Design The primary objective of design for this landscape is to replicate
nature within the right-of-wlY rather than exclude it. \MIatner this is done in small areas
('I. mile or less) should be determined on a case by case basis. An assessmenl should
also be made as to the costs of maintenance and the likelihood of survival, especially of
wetland species.
2.5.7.3 Medians As illustration 2.5.6.3 F shows, median spaces provide opportunities
for planting natural landscapes as a continuation ofthese existing areas through the right
of way. Care should be taken to ensure survivability of natural planting systems in a right
of way environment. If long term maintenance is overly burdensome, do not attempt to
"force" planting in an inhospitable environment.
2.5.7.4 Roadsides Existing nabve plantings should be allowed to approach edges
of roadways as close as possible, respecting required set backs of plantingsfrom edges
of pavement for safety purposes.
In concept, preserve areas should be allowed to visually dominate roadway construction
through them. Roads. therefore, become metaphorical "bridges" through natural systems
causing as little impact as possible.
2.5.7.5 Non-Planted Areas There will likely be few if any non-planted components
of the design for conservation areas. This is due to the overriding concern for
preservation and continuity of Conservation Zones through rights of way. In the case of
wetland Conservation Zones, for example, if sidewalks require continuity through this
zone, it may be necessary to minimize impact by locating wa:lks immediately adjacent to
roadways. Alternatively, sidewalks may occur as boardwalks through wetlands. In this
case, a minimum width of 6 feet should be used in design.

2. S. 'l ~~ 2c~ Gateway Zones occur within a quarter-mile of gateway
intersections as located on the Streetscape Network (figure 1.4.4 F). The main purpose of
Gateway Zones are to signify arrival and seIVe as an entry feature at major access points to
the Streetscape Network. The Streets cape Master Plan has identified seven gateways:
'f Marco Island East Trail Gateway
'f 1.75/ eRg51 Gateway
'f 1-75/ Pine Ridge Gateway
'f 1-75/ Golden Gate Parkway Gateway
'f North Trail Gateway
'f 1-75/lmmokalee Road Gateway
'f Livingston Road Gateway
2.5.8.1 Character Each Gateway is unique. Therefore, attempts to standardize
landscape character should be resisted. If the Gateway occurs within an Activity Center
a more urban expression IS more appropriate. Use of walls. water features, formal
plantings maybe appropriate
This approach may not be appropriate at
the North Trail and liVingston Road
Gateways whIch occur in adlacent
residential or agricultural zones These
Gateways should make one feel like he or
she is entering a park by bnnging masses
of vegetation in informal drifts up to the
edge of the roadway (figure 2-12).
Slgnage and lighting should supplement
plantings of shade trees. palms and
shrubs Character Zone designations
must also be respected

2.5.8.2 Design Gateway landscapes
are the most important features In the Streetscape Network They set the stage for arrival
and are the last thing one sees upon departure Therefore, an increased level of
landscape and resultrng maintenance is anticipated. All but one of these Gateways
occurs withrn state road controlled intersections or streets. Therefore. design will need
to be coordinated with the State of Florida Department of Transportation.
2.5.8.3 Medians Median planting opportunities exist in three of the seven gateways.
For the most part, these median areas should be clear 111 the foreground (as seen upon
entry), with a backdrop of vegetation to frame and accent the entrance. Each entrance
requires its own specific median design but continuity in character and appearance for all
seven gateway medians should prevail. Color In perennial shrubs such as Thryalis and
Bougainvlllea are appropnate. Discretionary use of beds of annuals, replaced at least
semi-annually would also be appropriate in these areas
2.5.8,4 Theme Tree An entrance or framing tree is prescribed for all seven entrances
to Collier County. This is the major structure tree(s) to be used as the form.giver to
landscape entrance features. Three trees are suitable, and are to be used together:
,. ," ~-
~
~ 104-
Slash pine, Live oak and Sabal palms. One method of planting which respects height,
character, and color of these three indigenous, ubiquitous. and drought tolerant species
would be to use the Pine in mass plantings as a backdrop to Oaks in the foreground and
Sabals in informal groupings as accents of no fewer than seven specimens each.
2.5.8.5 Roadsides Gateways require plantings, especially theme trees as described
above, to approach the edge of pavement as closely as possible. Therefore, along with
median plantings, roadside plantings create a partial sense of closure thus emphasizing
an entrance to a new, special, and unique locale.
The same predominate theme trees should be used to provide structure for these
entrances. They should also be augmented by use of flowering trees. masses of mature
shrubs. colorful groundcovers, and discriminate use of flowering annuals as may be
determined for each gateway.
Lawn grasses may be either SI. Augustine "Floritam" or Bahia. depending upon irrigation
availability of each entry.
2.5.8.6 Non-Planted Areas Pavements within available landscape area of gateways,
other than sidewalks and bikeways are not promoted. Water features, rocks, sculptures,
decorative walls, and the like, would be inappropriate fenestration for the natural and
indigenous character of this region
Not withstanding the above, graphics and associated lighting should be provided. Collier
County will control a proprietary graphic image to be displayed at gateways. Similarity of
this graphic image may be manifested in a variety of forms, but shall convey the same
impression at all gateways.
2.5.8.7 Schematics Three representative gateway landscape plans are provided as
a guide for ultimate implementation by others. In order to insure county-wide continuity,
it is recommended that Collier County control both design and construction of all gateways
on a schedule consistent with public need and roadway construction schedules.
!~'!'2S
t The Interstate Gatewav Zone as shown below references the several "gateways"
to collier county from Interstate 75 (2.5.8.8)
t The Multiple Direction Gatewav Zone primarily refers to the condition at CR 1 SR
951and East Tamiami Trail. This intersection provides both an opportunity for entry
to Collier County and Marco Island (2.5.8.9).
t The Sinole Direction Gatewav Zone presently exists at the North Tamiami Trail
entrance to Collier County from Lee County. Future road construction will provide
additional opportunities for implementation of this gateway concept (2.5.8.10).

2.6.2 ~WAI>'''' The intersections that have been identified as gateways into Collier
County and Naples have distinct characterislics that separate them from one another. The
following is a description of each gateway and their design opportunities.
. ~ T~a4u."~
The North Trail Gateway, located on the Collier County line on US 41. is comprised of
Planned Unit Developments (PUD) on both sides of the gateway (AudubOn and Sterling
Oaks). The landscaping should reinforce the residential character of the surrounding
community. The landscape style should build on and enhance what has been established
by the PUD's. The median is fairly wide and provides ample room for trees and
understory plantings of shrubs and groundcover. This is a major gateway into the county
and the design should reinforce its importance. Specialized graphiCS (signage) and
lighting would be appropriate and should be coordinated with all gateways (see drawing
2.5.8.10).
. ~~/~T~G-<:tc~"1J
This is the primary gateway from the south. II is located at the intersection of US 41 and
SRICR 951. Uke the North Trail Gateway, this is a primary entrance into the county. The
primary land use is Urban Coastal Fringe and the gateway is classified as an Activity
center. The configuration of the intersection and the location of the existing tree line
provides long views into Ihe slud)' area. A recent high~ project has placed new fight
poles on both sides of the highway, this providing a strong vertical repeating design
elemenl. The landscape character for this glllew8y shOuld rainfOll:e the natural vegetation
found in the immediate area. The style should be boldIsimple eurvlfinear fooms with
accent plantings at the intersection. Dual signage should be provided as part of entry
statements for both Marco Island and Naples/Collier County (see drawing 2.5.8.9).

Ther. is presently no direct access from 1-75 onto Golden Gate Parkway, although one
is proposed. The overpass acts as a visual gateway into Collier County. An extensive

landscaping shan follow the design standards set forth in that document (see drawing
2.5.8.8).

This gateway is designated as an Activity center on the Collier County future land use
map. The gateway is comprised of small commercial uses, Naples Plaza on the west, and
residential development (The Vineyards, l.ivingston Woods, and Golden Gate) on the
other three sides of the interohange. Thera is some natural vegetation remaining on all
four sides of the interohange (see drawing 2.5.8.8).
This streetscape shall be comprised of informal landscape patterns that reinforce the
remaining natural vegetation. The edge of the ROW should supplement the median
landscape and help establish a cohesive landscape design throughout the gateway. In
addition, 8llisting and new development should be encouraged to reinforce this area as
a gateway by providing additional landscaping along edges of private property.

Immokalee Road has experienced a considerable amount of new construction which has
created a more urban residential character. Presently the gateway is undeveloped with
large stancls of trees and understory vegeta.tion. This gateway shall preserve the natural
vegetation, as much as possible, to create a setting similar to the one found at the edge
of the right of way on US 41 near Pelican Bay. Because the gateway is undeveloped, a
comprehensive landscape design could be promoted and achieved (see drawing 2.5.8.8).

This is a potential future gateway into the county. The proposed residential development
(Livingston Road Country Club) and the natural vegetation suggests that this gateway
shall be informal I naturalistic in its design character (see drawing 2.5.8.10).

This road is characterized by PUD's along both sides of the roadway with shopping
centers and mixed use development at or near major intersections. The northern portion
of US 41 from the county line to Pine Ridge Road is predominantly residential (PUD's) with
well landscaped entrances. The PUD's have used landscape plantings andlor berms to
screen views into their property. This approach has created a well landscaped edge to
the rOlldwllY. In most cases the median hlls been landscaped in controlled or bold
curvilinear patterns. Any additional landscaping should reinforce the landscllpe character
already established in this area. The character zones identified for this area range from
urban residential to activity zones at major intersections. From Pine Ridge Road south,
the density of development is higher and the number of commercial/mlxed uses increases.
The landscape along the edge of the highway is more formal with clipped hedges in
geometric patterns. The design style shall incorporate the following elements:
l' Plant landscape material in controlled patterns.
l' Use flowering shrubs and understory plantings that produce color at
intersection.
l' Plant material to be similar to landscape plantings at PUD's
l' Coordinate color schemes with adjllcent PUD entrance designs

Goodlette-Frank Road is primarily a residential street with views of golf courses and
residential development. North of Pine Ridge Road. large stands of trees remain. The
Collier County Future Land Use Map identifies the corridor as an urban residential area
with an Activity Center where Goodlette-Frank Road intersects Golden Gate Parkway.
The recent construction of a northern portion of Goodlette-Frank Road provided new well
landscaped medians. The landscape character for Goodlette-Frank Road should build
upon the landscaping within the medians. The design shall create a parkway setting for
this residential community. The design style should incorporate the following elements:
l' Use curvilinear planting patterns.
l' Use bold, simple forms.
l' Plant material should be similar to landscape plantings at edge of roadway
l' Carry design onto side streets where applicable to provide continuity.
l' Encourage new landscaping where long runs of fencing occur to soften impact
and to bring development in-line with the rest of the community.

Livingston Road will be a new road traversing through urban residential and residential
zones. This is an opportunity to develop a continuous 11Indscape design solution
throughout the length of the roadway. The design should be residential in chllracter with
street tree plllntings and curvilinellr drifts of shrubs and groundcover. The design style
shall incorporate the following design elements:

CR 951 is a mix of urban residential, residential, urban residential fringe and activity
centers at major intersections. The large amount of undeveloped land and conservation
areas on the east side provides an almost continuous natural setting. New construction
of a residential community on the west side (Lely) has preserved stands of trees between
the roadway and its development, providing continuity along the confidor. This section of
roadway shall preserve and enhance the natural ecosystem, as much as possible,
creating a conservation zone. Use of native large stands of trees and understory is
encouraged.

North of 1-75 the character is more residential with large stands of natural vegetation.
The residential development on the east side is at a greater distance from the roadway
due to the canal, a parallel collector road, and preserved stands of trees. On the west
side of CR 951 there are views of the Golden Gate Golf Course and natural stands of
treeS. The landscape along this portion of CR 951 should create a natural like setting.
To do so, the landscape treatment shall utilize the following design elements:
1 Use native plant material only.
1 Use naturalized drifts of shrubs, grasses and ground cover within the
median.
1 Plant trees in clusters using species found in adjacent ecosystems.
'f Provide shrub massing along shoreline of canal.

SR 951 is comprised of urban coastal fringe and conservation areas. The intent of the
landscape design shall mimic the surrounding ecosystem by preserving as much natural
plant material as possible and by restricting landscape design to native plants associated
with this ecosystem. The design shall be simple and appear natural in its style and form.
Entl1lnces to commercial or residential communities present opportunities to accent an
otherwise natural system of plantings on medians and adjacent roadsides by use of other

Bayshore Drive is located in the urban coastal fringe land use area. It is made up of well
established residential communities with small commercial uses at the main intersections
The medians are narrower and have been planted with palm trees which are similar to the
resiclenliallandscape at the edge of the street. Understory plantings of shrubs are usually
clipped into formal hedges to help screen views into parking lots and residential units. The
landscaping along Bayshore Drive shall continue the street tree plantings and augment
them with understory plantings. The design can create a uniform tree lined residential
street. The landscape shall incorporate the following design elements'
1 Continue palm trees along entire length of Bayshore Drive.
1 Understory plantings shall be straightforward in their design due to narrow
planting spaces.
1 Add color and accents at intersections and entrances to major residential
developments.

PURPOSE
Proposed landscape improvements within public road right-of-way will require permitting
and approval. In order to promote the health, safety and welfare to the public and to
enhance the natural beauty of Collier County, landscape improvements are allowed
within the right of way. Improvements are to include decorative street, pedestrian and
accent lighting, decorative paving, right-of-way plantings, median plantings, street/site
furniture, pedestrian rest areas, irrigation systems, and other related facilities.
These improvement standards are intended to provide general criteria in preparing
landscape plans for public road right-of-way within the unincorporated areas of Collier
County and those areas which are located within municipal boundaries, but are
maintained by Collier County. The standards contained in this document are intended to
be minimum on which to base design plans.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Collier Countv's desires to encouraqe and promote:
. Safe, innovative, aesthetic and cost-conscious approaches to design, installation
and maintenance of right-of-way landscape improvements;

3. County Roadway Planninq and Typical Roadway Sections
Base level landscaping is to be incorporated in all roadway projects. A base level
of landscaping includes a minimum of 8" of landscape soil, irrigation sleeving,
and type F curbing for future landscaping. Collier County landscape architects
will insure that these elements are included. In areas of future landscaping, brick
pavers may be incorporated instead of concrete median separators (see
Appendix).
4. Current Landscape Policy: Landscape Beautification Master Plan (BCC
Approved 4/22/2003)
On April 23, 2003, the Collier County Board of Commissioners unanimously
approved the "Collier County Landscape Beautification Master Plan and
determined a level 'B-C1' landscaping for future roadway beautification projects
of arterial and collector roadways.
The timeline for the "Collier County Landscape Beautification Master Plan" as
presented is based on Transportation Engineering and Construction
Management's Five Year Road Construction Work Plan. The purpose of this
action is to provide a level of landscaping along improved roadways and to
maintain a signature streetscape appearance based on established levels of
landscaping within the Community. As part of the planning process, the Five and
Ten Year Roadway Development Plans are reviewed each year.

a) A base level of landscapinQ was discussed at the Landscape
Workshop on September 5, 2002. A base level is the ground
preparation for future planting. The sequencing of road
expansion and landscape base preparation prevents any
duplication of base construction costs. A base level of
landscaping includes: electrical and irrigation sleeving, clean
median backfill with a minimum of eight (8") inches of
landscape soil, non-mountable curbing (FDOT Type F), bahia
grass, and brick pavers at the median ends. Base level
landscaping is to be incorporated in all roadway projects.
Within the engineering project team, staff landscape architects
will ensure that these elements are included.
b) "Type Bn landscapinQ, in addition to base level and "Type A"
items, St. Augustine grass is planted instead of bahia. Shrubs,
flowering trees and planting beds are planted the entire length
of the median. "Type B" landscaping requires 100% irrigation
of the median to support the growth of St. Augustine grass of
other plantings. Examples of "Type B" landscaping are Davis
Blvd. (Airport-Pulling to County Barn), Collier Blvd. (Green
Blvd. to Golden Gate canal), US 41 North (Pine Ridge to
Vanderbilt Beach Road), and Pine Ridge Road (Airport Pulling
to US 41 North).
c) "Type C1n landscapinQ has side road canopy trees and/or
palms (grouped or singles) 50-100 feet apart irrigated through
bubbler irrigation system. The edges would remain planted
with bahia sod.
d) Wet Retention Ponds: "Type Bn Retention Pond includes
palms and native trees and shrubs, littoral zone planting, bahia
grass, planting beds and lighted aeration fountains. In
addition, there would be an opportunity for additional site
amenities and improvements such as benches and paths. A
pond located at US 41 East and Catalina Street is an example
of a 'Type B' right-of-way retention pond.
5. Budqets and Fundinq
Budget establishment and funding for the Collier County Landscape
Beautification Master Plan projects must be coordinated through the Collier
County Transportation Division. Alternative Transportation Modes Department.
Collier County will provide a list of alternative funding sources, as well as provide
current and past information on existing beautification projects budgets,
development costs and maintenance costs upon request.
6. Gatewav Roadwavs/Areas
5
Collier County has selected certain roadway corridors and interstate
interchanges as Gateway areas, which are designated for enhanced streetscape
improvements. Community Gateways will serve as the main entry points and
corridors to Collier County's improvement Streetscape roadway system.
Community Gateway intersections will extend the same one mile limits as the
LDC major intersections. Community Gateway corridors will encompass multiple
mile portions or entire roadway corridors based upon the designation beginning
and ending.
Seven Community Gateways are identified as follows:
1. Marco Island East Trail Gateway
2. 1-75/CR 951 Gateway
3. 1-75/Pine Ridge Gateway
4. 1-75/Golden Gate Parkway Gateway
5. North Trail Gateway
6. 1-75/1mmokalee Road Gateway
7. Livingston Road Gateway
Community Gateway streetscape improvements should be developed around a
uniform theme incorporated into the landscaping, hardscape elements and site
furnishings throughout the Gateway areas. The minimum streetscape
improvements shall comply with the Collier County Landscape Beautification
Master Plan roadway median Type 'B' and side of the roadway, Type 'C1' and
West retention ponds Type 'B' planting requirements. Reference: Collier County
Streetscape Master Plan Gateway Zones Schedule (see Appendix).
7. Utilities

Transportation Federal Highway
Administration "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices' (MUTCD),
Part VI and the FDOT Roadway and Traffic Design Standards" Index
Series 600, Traffic Control through Work Zones.
III. PLANT MATERIAL SELECTION
The proper use and placement of plant material will provide low maintenance,
aesthetically pleasing and safe right-of-way for the public. Landscape plans shall be
prepared to reflect mature plant size with regard to motorist visibility, proposed plant
spacing and quantity which will greatly reduce maintenance requirements.
All plant materials shall be Florida #1, or better, as defined in the most current edition of
the "Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants", Part I and Part II, as amended,
published by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The use of
native plant materials is encouraged when appropriate. Root-bound and circular root
container material is not acceptable.
Trees can be assets to the public road right-of-way; however, the wrong tree selection
and placement may result in future removal due to severe pruning for visual and
vehicular clearance or interference with adjacent structures. When selecting canopy
trees and palms for narrow width medians the height and spread of the plant at
installation and maturity must be considered so not to create a pruning problem.
(Reference: "Right Tree, Right Place for SW Florida," Florida Power & Light publication.)
Trees or palms planted under overhead utility lines shall be limited in height so that at
maturity or maintained height the tree or palm remains outside of a ten (10) foot
separation from the high voltage power lines. Trees or palms planted adjacent to
overhead utility lines shall have a mature spread that will not interfere with such utility
lines. Where underground utilities exist, tree placement shall not adversely impact the
utility. The trees or palms mature caliper and lower branching shall allow for clear sight
visibility and unobstructed pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
Plant material considered for placement within public road right-of-way shall meet as
many of the following characteristics as practical.
a) Native or naturalized species;
b) Non-brittle and deep rooting plants resistant to wind damage;
c) Non-poisonous/non-toxic to humans;
d) Naturally resistant to insects and diseases;
e)palms/trees lacking an invasive and extensive root system and whose mature
canopy can be maintained within the planting area and at a fifteen foot (15')
minimum height over the travel lanes;
9
f) Site specific and roadway climate oriented;
g) Compatible with site-specific soil and moisture conditions;
h)Free from noxious odors;
i) Free of nuts or fruit greater than one-half inch in diameter when planted adjacent
to pathways or roadways where the fruit or nut may fall onto the pathway or
roadway;
j) Variation in blooming seasons;
k) Longevity;
I) Low maintenance, including reduced or limited pruning;
m)Tolerant to high-stress urban conditions;
n) Drought tolerant;
0) Ability to adapt to a wide range of soil types and high pH.
Consideration shall be given to plant selection with respect to the amount of water
applied or received (i.e., reclaimed non-potable water may require a minimum number of
gallons to be used annually - plants chosen for this type of water source must be
compatible).
a. Plant Material Placement
Plant placement shall ensure motorist, pedestrian and maintenance
personnel safety. Motorists and pedestrians must be provided with an
unobstructed window of visibility at intersections, turn lanes, median
crossovers, and pedestrian crosswalks (Appendix, FDOT Index).
Streetscape improvement project median plantings should not place
maintenance personnel in any greater danger by locating plant material in
plant beds too close to the back edge of curb. Median plantings upon
maturity or at the maintained limit of planting beds shall have a minimum
one to two foot (1'-2') area of mulch maintained between the back edge of
curb and plant material. A thirty-six inch (36") planting setback, from the
center of the plant to the edge of the curb area is required for all shrubs
and ground cover plantings. The spacing between two different beds of
plant material should be planted on a 4'-0" center to allow 2'-0" clearance
for safety and accessibility.
Trees or palms planted near overhead utility lines shall be limited in
height. The type and placement of trees or palms near overhead utility
shall comply with the governing utility agency's requirements. Refer to
Collier County L.D.C. and Florida Power & Light "Right Tree Right Place"
publication latest editions. Trees or palms planted adjacent to overhead
utility lines shall have a mature spread that will not interfere with the utility
lines. Where underground utilities exist, tree placement shall not
adversely impact the utility.
b. Xeriscape Principals and Drouqht Tolerance
The seven principles of Xeriscape are appropriate planning and design,
use of soil amendments, efficient irrigation, practical turf areas, use of
drought tolerant plants, use of mulches, and appropriate maintenance.
Reference the SFWMD "Xeriscape Plant Guide II" and Collier County
LD.C. latest editions.
10
c. Cold Tolerance
Plant palette selection shall generally comply with the Collier County
Roadway Plant Material Cold Tolerance Map and the "Collier County
Native Plant List" (see Appendix).
d. Recommended Roadwav Plant Materials List
Plantings on the list may not necessarily be approved for all Streetscape
improvement projects. Pedestrian and motorist safety and visibility will
govern plant selection. Reference: "Recommended Roadway Plant
Materials" (see Appendix), for plant material selection.
e. Turf Grasses and Sod Placement
Turf grasses use the most water and require the most maintenance. Turf
shall be located only in areas where it will provide functional
benefits. Turf shall not be considered for use within medians
sixteen feet (16') or less in width measured from back of curb to
back of curb. Turf may be considered or used as follows:
1. On non-curbed medians to create a continuous thirty-six inch (36")
border around the median.
2. In interconnected rather than isolated areas for maintenance mowing.
3. Turf placement under canopy tree groupings shall be selectively
evaluated.
4. St. Augustine "Floratam" is recommended in all irrigated turf areas.
5. Bahia grass shall be used on all non-irrigated landscape installations.
Sod placement in ditches and swales:
1. A "Permit to Perform Work and/or Maintenance in Public Right-of-
way" must be applied for by the responsible property owner or his
authorized agent through the Right of way department.
2. A drawing shall be submitted showing at a minimum the following
distances from:
a. Centerline of closest travel way to the property line and/or right-of-
way line.
b. Edge of pavement to swale invert.
c. Edge of pavement to property line and/or right-of-way line.
d. Location and width of driveway / access way and distance to side
property line.
e. Lot, block, and unit number, as well as street name and number.
The sod shall be placed to the proper grade and cross-section to ensure
the flow of water in the swale or ditch. In excavating for the placement of
sod, a minimum three-inch (3") undercut is to be provided. It is the
responsibility of the permittee to ensure an adequate undercut to maintain
water flow.
11
It shall be the abutting property owner's responsibility to maintain the
sodded ditch or swale area to ensure the invert is kept open and
unobstructed. unless otherwise stipulated by the County.
If the elevation, and the sod shall be installed, unless otherwise approved,
prior to the Development Services Department signing the Building
Department's "Master Control Card".placement of sod is associated with
and is approved as part of a building permit, the entire swale shall be
undercut to allow for the top of the sod to be placed at the design
f. Prohibited and Restricted Plant Species
The following types of plant species shall not be permitted:
1. Cactus
2. Agave American (commonly known as Century plant)
3. Yucca aloifolia (commonly known as Spanish Bayonet)
4. Ficus spp. (with the exception of 'Green Island' which is allowed)

g. Existinq Landscapinq or Veqetation
Streetscape improvement projects are encouraged to utilize existing
landscaping or vegetation within the roadway right-of-way whenever
possible as long as it complies with the visibility, safety and general
requirements as set forth within these standards. For roadways already
landscaped, the plant selection and mulch must be the same or similar.
h. Soils/Amendments/Plantinq Products
Soils within public road right-of-way areas are usually of poor quality and
do not have an acceptable pH due to roadway construction debris.
Umerock and other roadway construction debris shall be removed so as
not to restrict root growth, limit percolation or reduce the efficiency of the
irrigation system. As much of the poor quality materials as practical shall
be removed and replace with an acceptable topsoil having a proper pH
range of 5.5 to 6.5. (see appendix for specification).
Suitable existing site soil may be amended to improve its pH, water and
nutrient-holding capabilities. Existing soils will require reverse rotor tilling
to a minimum depth of twelve inches (12") to loosen compacted soil and
mix the amendments into the soil. Applications of non-selective
herbicides shall be required prior to rotor tilling to kill existing weeds and
grasses.
As part of future road-widening, landscape soil is placed within the
medians to a planting depth (see Appendix for specification).
i. Root Guard Protection
Root guard protection systems for large canopy trees and palms shall be
used and specified on construction plans where concerns exist for
potential root damage to roadways, curbing, pathways or utility facilities.
j. Mulches
13
Mulch shall be used around all individual plants or within plant beds.
Reference: Collier County L.D,C, Section 2,4 for additional mulch
requirements.
There are numerous forms and grades of organic mulch. Large wood
chip mulches shall not be used. A minimum four-inch (4") fluffed depth of
shredded, Grade "A" certified mulch product is recommended. A three-
inch (3") layer should be maintained to insure optimum results,
Non-organic type mulches shall have prior approval by Collier County
Landscape Services Operations. Landscape-type gravel installed with
drainage filter cloth/fabric may be considered for limited use. No gravel
shall be greater than one half inch (1/2") in diameter. The use of gravel or
stones increases radiant heat and has the potential to be dispersed onto
the surface of the roadway, thus contributing to increased vehicular
stopping distances.
Non-organic mulches may not be used within ten feet (10') of the edge of
pavement of non-curbed landscape areas. When non-organic mulches
are used adjacent to curbing, the finished elevation of the mulch shall be
y." below the top of curbing,
When non-organic mulch is used adjacent to turf or organic mulch areas,
it shall be installed with a wood or plastic edging material. All non-organic
mulches shall be installed at a minimum three inch (3") depth. Crushed
non-organic mulches such as washed shell may be used without drainage
cloth.
V. Decorative Concrete Pavers: Paver installations for sidewalks, pathways, roadway
medians and roadway crosswalks shall have six inches (6") of compacted limerock
aggregate base and one half inch leveling sand. The limerock base shall be compacted
to a 98% density and compaction test performed at each separate paver installation
location. Paver edges shall match the elevation of any adjacent pavement or curbing.
Roadway crosswalk paver installations shall have all sides border with concrete curbing,
mortar or steel edge (see Appendix). Paver installation colors and pattems shall be
specified on the construction plans will be approved by the County prior to construction
plan approval and permitting.
VI. Irrioation Desion and Systems
The source of irrigation water, such as reclaimed, well or potable, will affect landscape
plant selection and irrigation system design. Recommended water sources for
landscape irrigation purposes in order are:
. Reclaimed or reused non-potable water (required when available)
. Potable water
. Well and pump system
The followino shall be considered in the desion and permittino phase:
14
a) A meeting shall be held with the Transportation Department Alternative Transportation
Modes Section prior to planning and design to review the controller options and
requirements.
b) Turf and plant bed areas shall be zoned separately when practical. High water demand
landscape areas shall be zoned separately from a low water demand landscape areas.
Plant beds shall be designed so that they contain plants with similar water requirements.
c) Quick coupler valves shall be located three hundred feet (300') maximum on center in
the medians and other isolated areas for watering-in new or replacement plant materials.
Quick coupler keys shall be provided to the Transportation Services Department
Landscape Operations Section.
d) A pressure-reducing back-flow preventer is required on all potable water sources. The
backflow preventer shall conform to the latest detail and requirements set forth by the
utility company servicing the site or as provided by Collier County.
e) Manual gate shut-off valves shall be installed on pressurized mainlines to isolate
individual zone control valves to facilitate maintenance repairs.
f) Approved sprinkler head protective devices may be placed around all pop-up sprinkler
heads within turf areas.
g) Electrical services shall be mounted on an approved concrete pedestal with breaker box,
lightening arrestor, grounding rod and other electrical connections or components
required. All electric work shall meet National, State, County Electric Codes.
h) Valves shall be wired from the controller in consecutive order. Zone or valve schedules
shall be provided on the plans and posted inside the controller door.
i) The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent water from being applied onto or over
impervious surfaces (i.e.; roadways, sidewalks, etc.).
j) Pressure reducing valves and sprinkler heads shall be used to reduce fogging caused by
high water pressure. The use of low trajectory spray nozzles is encouraged to reduce
the effect of wind on the spray stream.
k) Low volume irrigation systems will be considered to control and limit over spray on
adjacent pavement areas.
I) A rain/freeze shut-off sensor with a bypass switch shall be installed to interrupt watering
cycles when watering is unnecessary due to sufficient rainfall or freezing weather.
m) Deep.watering practices are encouraged to promote deep root growth.
n) All non-potable water irrigation systems shall be specified on the plans and designated
in the field with violet color-coding for reused water. Items to be color-coded shall be
mainlines two inches (2") or greater in diameter and all valve or meter boxes. The site
shall also be properly signed in accordance with State Statutes.
0) Mainline drains or the ability to provide flushing of the irrigation main is required.
p) All valve wiring shall be placed within Schedule 40 PVC pipe or conduit.
q) All mainlines shall be installed with continuous metallic tape for future locating purposes.
r) Reference: Collier County L.D.C. for additional requirements.
s) Reference: FDOT "Utility Accommodations Manual."
VII. Permittinq
A "Permit to Perform Work and/or Maintenance in Public Right-of-way" must be applied
for by the responsible property owner or his authorized agent.
15
Landscaping Permit within the public right-of-way: A private owner, Developer or civic or
homeowners' association desiring to landscape within a public right-of-way shall submit
a landscape and irrigation construction documents prepared by a licensed landscape
architect for County review. The Permit application shall include three (3) sets of detailed
plans indicating the existing right-of-way facilities and the type and location of the
proposed plantings, location of electrical and irrigation systems(s).After acceptance of
the landscape and irrigation pians, a landscape agreement shall be prepared by the
contracting parties and approved by the County attomey's office. (See Appendix for
example.) The purpose of the landscape agreement is to ensure that the permittee, or
his successors or assign, shall be responsible to maintain such material and irrigation
system until removed or unless otherwise specified.
VIII. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is the most important aspect of a streetscape improvement project and will
determine the project's immediate and long-term success.

Collier County, the City of Naples, and private enterprise have combined resources to create
and maintain an outstanding streetscape program throughout Collier County. This
publidprivate partnership has developed a "signature" for Naples and Collier County over the
past decade.
~
N~&A-~ 10~
PLlRPOSE
In 1992, the Board of Directors of CollierlNaplescape 90's agreed to organize and help fund
development of a comprehensive strategy for landscape and maintenance of the arterial
street network in Collier County. This effort has been joined by many private persons,
practitioners, and entities whose goal has been to create a common design theme and means
for implementation of a comprehensive network of arterial streets.
APPROAC H
This approach for accomplishment of purpose has been a pro-active one by
Collier/Naplescape 90's, working with Collier County Government. In 1992, CIN 90's retained
a private consultant to draft an outline for an overall plan. That work was accomplished at no
charge to the community.
.
The approach envisioned coupling professional talent with a strong sense of civic
involvement. For the initial three years of master plan development, two separate Technical
Advisory Committees have met, reviewed, and commented on drafts of various plan
components. In addition, County and City staff have contributed their time and expertise
where needed.
E-1
Finally, it has been recognized from inception of the SSMP project that, in order to be
meaningful, the plan would require adoption by government, and ultimately to become law.
Therefore this document, is recommended to become its own Section in the Collier County
Land Development Code, and, to be similarly adopted by the City of Naples.
PROCESS
Development of the SSMP has been a 3-step process over the past three years as follows:
t.
D~~
All relevant information was collected, assembled and organized for creation of a
comprehensive plan. State, County and City design standards were assembled along
with major roadway development schedules. An approval process was also
established and implemented. This consisted of identification of all potential
constituencies and several meetings throughout Collier County. These meetings
provided the public view point as an essential ingredient to the plan.
.
_m~~tfJ~l~
~
~qO
In general, it was discovered that the participating public wanted:
.,. Landscaping of Major streets;
.,. A comprehensive understanding of costs involved; both capital and
maintenance;
l' A schedule for improvements;
.,. Cost effective landscape solutions; and
l' Parity: a balance of landScape programs throughout the County.
A major product from the Data Gathering Phase was establishment of the Urban Area
Streetsc8pe Network. Using the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) 15- Year
Plan as a guide, a network of divided highways was established as the boundary for
the SSMP in urbanized Collier County. A shorter action plan relating to Collier
County's 5-Year Highway Improvement Plan was also identified as the near term
landscape implementation schedule.
II.~~
All design projects require a program. "What shall we do and what shall it accomplish"
are primary questions asked and answered as part of this phase of the SSMP.
Two important concepts were established to guide answers to these questions as
follows:
ConeeDt I: Contextual Relevancy.
Quoting from the text: "Streets pass through various regions, hence, they do not have
a character themselves, but rather the region does. The street should reflect and
interpret the region, not vice-versa."
Cone.Dt II: Character Zones. page
The streetscape network is comprehensive in urban Collier County necessitating a E - 2
macro vs micro approach toward programming. Therefore, a "zonal" method towards
identification of design requirements was established. Various streetscape zones
were determined by combining several factors: a.) natural character; b.) existing land
use; c.) existing zoning: and d.) Collier County Comprehensive Plan.
Seven Character Zones for streetscape design were identified as a result of
combining the above land use features of Collier County (see figure E.1)
~...z-".:
. Activitv Center Zone - These are related to the existing and proposed major
urban areas, essentially a % mile square around major street intersections.
. Urban Residential Zone - These are transitional landscape areas which
combine features of both Activity Center and Residential Zones.
. Residential Zone - These zones occur primarily as frontages to Collier
County's numerous planned communities and established subdivisions.
. . ~p~'.,
.
Gateway Zone. These
are the major entry and
exit points to urbanized
Collier County on the
streetscape network.
There are seven of
these: five on Interstate 75; two on the north and one on the south side of the County.
~
~10~
. Acricultural Zone
These refer to those
areas currently
developed for a variety
of agricultural
purposes. Over time.
these may convert to
one of the above
categories.
uV!~JGS ;'::"'"'i' HU
:,\;~. i,:' ,~,,_:.
. Utility Zone - These
zones are not
extensive in size and
always occur as a
specialized segment of
another zone
classification
Therefore, they have
specialized
requirements.
. Conservation Zone -
These zones are those
which are dominated by
natural, protected
landscapes along the
frontage street

All of the above character zones have been mapped, quantified, and qualified by
descriptive commentary as a part of this section of the SSMP. Further, each individual
street within the streetscape system has been given a verbal interpretation of its potential
landscape which responds to its location within a character zone
fff. f1~Pkf~~
The above data and programming are implemented by a 5-Step process as outlined
in the body of the SSMP as follows:
. Schematic DesiQn
This portion of Programming (Section 2.0) gives generalized design commentary
accompanied by a plan and section view of each activity zone as described above.

. Plantina Recommendations
General guidelines have been provided Which respond to three sources: the
plantings as shown in schematic design, local landscape professional knowledge,
and maintenance experience of City, County and State agencies. An overriding
consideration has been given to a reduction of irrigation dependency. Therefore.
three of the seven character zones are recommended to be composed of xeriphytic
and/or native Florida plant materials.
Water, soils, fertilizer, pesticide, and design recommendations are made in this
section. Most importantly, a plant species list is recommended by Character Zone
and Florida Native status.
. Irrlaation Recommendationl
Water requirements for median plantings are a major determinant of planting design
and maintenance. Therefore, plantings and water delivery methods require close
collaboration.
As a general goal, all plant systems will be designed for available water, and all
plantings will be designed to require as little water as possible to sustain them. A
preferred ultimate goal is no irrigation at all. Completely naturally sustainable
plantings could occur: especially in the Agricultural and Conservation Landscape
Zones as described in Section 2.0.
1.) Drip versus Spray Irrigation. State of Florida rights-of-way will allow no spray
irrigation as a result of perceived pot~ntialliability problems.
Therefore, in State rights-of-way, either subsurface, occasional manual, or no
irrigation will be provided. Cost effective techniques for drip irrigation are
being developed, especially for shrub and tree plantings. E - 4
Collier County and City of Naples rights-of-way may prefer to also utilize
controlled spray irrigation techniques. This is especially due to reduced
construction costs, and the ability to support manicured lawn components of
streetscape plantings,
2.) Irrigation Specifications and Deta~s. Irrigation requirements within the context
of the SSMP are performance driven rather than specific in their orientation.
This will provide for liberal accommodation of techniques of construction and
materials as they change over time.
3.) Water Source. The ultimate goal of water source is reclaimed water following
tertiary treatment at municipal waste water plants. State and Federal water
quality and treatment methods shall be followed for safe exposure to the
public. However, there will be occasions when the need for public landscape
will preceed the availability of reuse water. Nothing in this section shall prohibit
the use of potable water as an interim source.

Subject to available funds. the SSMP shows both a five and fifteen year schedule
for implementation of the .treetscape netwofk. Maintenance schedules are also
included u a cumulative requirement following implementation. In order to complete
landsCllpe work for 120 miles of roadway within a 15-year time frame, 8 miles of
streets would require landscape installation per year. In the past 10 years.
approximately 20 miles of roads have been landsCllped resulting in an average of
2 miles per year, or one quarter the rate needed to complete the streetsCllpe master
plan in a 15 year time frame.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners update a
streetscape schedule consistent with community priorities and available funding.
. Finally. the SSMP provides references for further research and specific relevant
sources for help (1-14-1) on streetscape projects in Collier County.

IV. SURVEY MONUMENTS
A. GENERAL: To assist in the elimination of possible future boundary disputes and to
simplify location of monuments and future construction improvements within the Public
right-of-way of Collier County, a land surveyor, registered in the State of Florida, should
be consulted before actual construction of improvements. Only a land surveyor
registered in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 472 and Chapter 177, mav GaR
reference monuments for replacement if destroyed or disturbed
B. PRESERVATION: Any official monument set for the purpose of locating or preserving
the permanent lines of any pUblic street, pUblic easement or recorded subdivision
boundary within any Collier County QPublic ,Rights-of-way or public easements shall not
be removed or disturbed without first obtaining permission in writing from the
Development Services Administrator Direotor. Permission shall be granted only upon
the condition that the person makinq application shall pay all expenses incidental to the
proper replacement or relocation of such monument by a land surveyor registered in the
State of Florida.
The authority for the determination of permanent monuments, as outlined above,
shall be the County Plat Books or the instrument and accompanying record
drawing conveying ownership of the right-of-way or easement to the public, if
properly recorded.
These requirements shall in no way diminish the protection of permanent

III. TURN LANES, DRIVEWAYS, ACCESS ROADS DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
A. Separate Turn Lane Requirements:
All right turn lanes must be consistent with existing conditions or planned improvements
if located on a collector or arterial road. For all turn lanes: 1. If existing County ROW is
utilized, compensating ROW must be provided, 2. If a sidewalk must be reconstructed
for a turn lane, the existing separation must be maintained; or the required clear zone,
whichever is greater. Construction of all required turn lanes must be completed prior to
commencing construction on site.
1. Turn lanes are required and must be constructed whenever any of the following
conditions exist:
a. Two Lane Roadways
(1) Left turn lanes must be provided whenever the left turn volume
into a development is two percent of the Level of Service "C" daily
volume, or whenever the highest hourly volume of the turning
movement is 20 vehicles or more.
(2) Right turn lanes must be provided whenever the right turn volume
into a development is four percent of Level of Service "C" daily
volume, or whenever the highest hourly volume of the turning
movement is 40 vehicles or more.
b. Multi-lane Divided Roadways:
(1) Median openings, other than those existing at the time of Permit
application, to accommodate left turns at locations other than
street intersections may be permitted only when the projected
traffic volume at the proposed opening (two-way total) averages
150 vehicles per hour during the eight highest hours of a typical
day. When new median openings are permitted, they shall always
include left turn lanes. Turn lanes in the median that serve the
public shall take precedence over turn lanes servinQ privately
owned developments (i.e if a median openinQ/turn lane for a
private development precludes the installation or lenqtheninQ of a
turn lane benefitinq the public, the turn lane servinq the private
entitv may be required to be reduced or removed at the expense
of the beneficiary).
(2) Right turn lanes shall always be provided for existing multi-lane
divided roadways or for roadways, which are scheduled to
become multi-lane divided roadways in accordance with the

to pre-existinq conditions constraints
2. These requirements may be modified or waived by the Transportation Services
Division Administrator or his desiqnee when physical conditions at the site make
their application impractical or when the road is to be reconstructed as part of an
approved CIE (Capital Improvement Element) While traffic volumes usually do
not require separate turn lanes until the specified volumes are reached,
Developers shall include them with the initial project access construction. This
policy will be less costly than stage construction and there will be only one period
of disruption to existing traffic. Requirement may be modified at the discretion of
the Transportation Administrator or his desiqnee on a case bv case basis.
3. Openinqs. other than those existinq at the time of permit application, must meet
access manaqement policv spacinq requirements. Existinq openinqs will be
reviewed on a case bv case basis.
B. The following geometric restrictions for the classification of the type of property being
served are hereby established as the standard. Practicality and space limitations
preclude the inclusion of data to cover all design criteria. The Transportation Services
Division Administrator or his desiqnee may consider deviations to mitigate the geometric
and design standards when conditions warrant

specified.
h. Mitered end sections with concrete collars having a broom finish and
sodded as shown in the FDOT Standard Indices shall be required for all
culverts The County may waive these requirements where unusual
conditions prevail, such as due to the depth of the roadside swale and
due to the distance the swale is located from the edge of pavement.

way within the unincorporated area of Collier County, and also in those public
riaht-of-way, which lie within municipal boundaries but which are maintained by
Collier County or requlated throuah aareemenj
2. The Board of County Comminssioners unanimously approved the: Collier County
Landscape Beautification Master Plan" and determined a level "B-CI" for future
roadway beautification proiects for arterial and collector roadways (Approved
04/22/2003) Defined in the Master Plan were the followina:
On April 22, 2003, the Collior County Board of Commissioners unanimously
approved the "Cellier County L~mdscape Beautification Master Plan and
determined a level "13 C1" landscaping for future roadway boautification projects
of arterial and collector road'....ays.
Tho timeline for the "Collier County Landscape Boautification Master Plan" as
presonted is l:lLlsod on Transportation Enginooring and Construction
Managemont's fi'/e (5) year road construction worl< plan. Tho purpose of this
action is to provide a lovel of landscaping along improved roadways and to
Rlaintain a signature streets cape appearance based on estaBlishod levels of
landscaping within the Community As part of the planning process, the "Five
and Ten Year Roadway Development Plan" are re'/iewed oach year.
a) 6..::base level:..,of landscaping is the around preparation for all arterial and
collector road construction, and any future turn lane modifications where
there will be was discussed at the Landscape Workshop on September 5,
2002. A Base level is tho ground preparation for future planting. The
sequencing of road expansion and landscape Base preparation prevents
any duplication of Base construction costs. /\ base level of landscaping
includes' i!!! electrical and irrigation sleeving, sIeafl median backfill witIl
eight (8") of landscape {soil}, non-mountable curbing (FDOT Type F),
bahia grass, and brick pavers landinq at the median ends and bahia
arass. Base le'lel landscaping is to be incorporated in all roadway
projects Within the engineering project team, staff landscape architects
will insure that these olements are included. In areas of future
landscaping, Brick pavers may be incorporated instead of concrete
median separators.
24
b) "Type B" landscaping, in addition to base level~ and "Type A" items, St.
Augustine grass is planted instead of bahia. Shrubs, flowering trees and
planting beds are planted the entire length of the median. In lieu of St.
Auqustine, drouqht tolerant. easilv maintained plants may be substituted
which address the waterinq restrictions. "Typo B" landscaping requiros
100% irrigation of the median to support tho growth of St. Augustine
grass or other plantings. Examplos of "Typo B" landscaping are Davis
Blvd. (I\irport Pulling Road to County Barn Road), Collier Blvd. (Green
Blvd. to Golden Gate canal), US 41 North (Pino Ridgo to Vanderbilt
Boach Road), ami Pine Ridgo Road (,^.irport Pulling to US 41 N)
c) "Type C1" landscaping has side road canopy trees andlor palms
(gGrouped or ~Singles) 50-100 feet apart irrigated through a bubbler
irrigation system. The side edges of the riqht-of.way are non irriqated
would remain plantod with bahia sod
d) Wet Retention Ponds:"Type B" Retention Ponds includes palms and
native trees and shrubs, littoral zone planting, bahia grass, planting beds,
and lighted aeration fountains. There is an opportunity In addition, thore
would ee an opportunity for additional site amenities and improvements
such as benches and paths. A pond locatod at US 41 Ea€t and Catalina
Street is an oxample of a "Type B" right of way rotontion pond.
3. Developers, homeowner associations, municipal services taxinq units (MSTUs)
who wish to landscape. irriqate, and maintain landscape installations within the
riqht-of-way may enter into maintenance aqreement for collector and arterial
roadways.
The plans must be consistent with the landscape Beautification Master Plan,
approved by the Transportation Department and the Board of County
Commissioners. Collier County does not enter into landscape maintenance
aqreements with private owners.
4. Whenever necessary for the construction, repair, maintenance, improvement.
alterations or relocation of said riqht-of-way as determined by the County, any or
all plantinqs, qrass, trees, shrubs, hedqes, sprinklers or other related landscape
facilities authorized under thiS ordinance shall be removed from said riqht-of-way,
or relocated thereon, as required by and duly notified by the County, at the
expense of the Permittee, his successors or assiqns.
5. Where Permittee, or his successors or assiqns, is notified of a need for
construction, repair. maintenance, improvement. alteration or relocation within a
riqht-of-way and where no action is taken by the responsible entity within the time
frame specified by the County, the County shall cause the permitted work to be
altered, relocated or removed, with all costs of such alteration, relocation or
removal beinq borne be the Permittee or the entity responsible.
6. Collier County does not participate with private owners. A Developer or Civic or
Homeowner's Association desirinq to landscape within a public riqht-of-way shall
submit a riqht-of-way Permit request with a plan prepared by a Florida reqistered
25
landscape architect settinq forth the proposal in sufficient detail that it may be
properly reviewed.
The Permit application shall include two sets of detailed plans indicatinq the
existinq riqht-of-way facilities and the type of location of the proposed plantinqs,
location of electrical and irriqation system(s) and a draft aqreement document
qivinq the name, telephone number for contact, and address of the entity that
will become responsible for the perpetual maintenance of the landscapinq.
A boilerplate landscape maintenance aqreement and maintenance specifications
are provided throuqh the Collier County Transportation Division, Alternative
Transportation Modes Department. The landscape maintenance aqreement,
landscape maintenance specifications, and landscape architectural approved
plans require Board of County Commissioner approval prior to permittinq and
installation.
When permitted materials are placed within a public riqht-of-way, the installation
is for permissive use only and the placinq of such materials shall not operate to
create or vest any property riqht in the associated riqht-of-way to the Permittee or
his successor or assiqns. Furthermore, the Permittee, or his successors or
assiqns, shall be responsible to maintain such material until removed or unless
otherwise directed.

3. Plant Material Seleotien
28
The I'lroper use and placement of plant material will wovide low maintenance,
aesthetically pleasing and safer rights of way for the public. Landscape plans shall be
wepared to reflect mature I'llant size with regard to motorist and pedestrian visibility,
proposed plant spacing and quantity. which will greatly reduce maintenance
requirements.
/\11 plant materials shall be Florida it1, or bolter, as defined in the most current edition of
the "Grades and Standards for ~Jursery Plants", Part I and Part II, as amended,
published by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The use of
native plant materials is encouraged .^,s a result of a higher survival rate under irrigated
conditions, container grown material is recommended for use rather than balled and
burl aped plant materials. Root bound and circular root container material is not
accoptablo.
Trees can be assets to tho public road rights of way; howevor, tho wrong tree selection
and placemont may result in future removal due to severe pruning for visual and
'/ehicular clearance or interference with adjacent structures. Whon selecting canopy
trees and palms for narro'N width medians the height and spread of the plant at
installation and maturity must be considered so not to create a pruning problem.
(Reference: "Right Tree, Right Place for SW Florida", Florida PO'ller & Light publication)
Trees or palms planted under o'/erhead utility lines shall be limited in height so that at
maturity or maintained height the tree or palm romains outside of a ten (10) foot
separation from the high voltage power lines Treos or palms planted adjacent to
overhead utility lines shall have a mature spread that will not interfere with such utility
lines 'iVhere underground utilities exist, tree placement shall not advorsoly impact the
utility. The trees or palms mature calipor and lower branching shall allO'.v for clear sight
visibility and unobstructed pedestrian and vehicular circulation
7. Plant material considered for placement within the public roa4 rights-of-way shall meet
as many of the following characteristics as practical; c
a) Native or naturalized species but non-invasive
b) Non-brittle and deep rooting plants resistant to wind damage~;
c) Non-poisonous/non toxic to humans;
d) ~Jaturally resistant to insects and diseasesc;
e) Palmsltrees lacking an invasive and extensive root system and whose mature
canopy can be maintained within the planting area and at a fifteen foot (15')
minimum clearance height over the travellanesc;
f) Cold tolerance.
g) Site specific and roadway climate oriented;
g) Compatible with site-specific soil and moisture conditions; Free from noxious
odorsc;
h) Free of nuts or fruit greater than one-half inch in diameter when planted adjacent
to pathways or roadways where the fruit or nut may fall onto the pathway or
roadwayc;
i) Variation in blooming seasons; lonqetivitv: low maintenance, includinq reduced or
limited pruninq.
j) Longevityc;
k) Low maintenance, including reduced or Iimitod pruningc;
29
j) Tolerant to high-stress urban conditions; drouqht tolerant; abilitv to adapt to a

The Permittee shall maintain the portion of the right-of-way affected by
the installation until acceptable vegetation is established per the Collier
44
County Landscape and Irriqation Specifications for Beautification
Improvements within the Public Riqht.of-Way.
c. The Contractor shall replace pavement or roadway surfaces cut or
damaged, in equal or better condition than the original, including:
stabilization, base course, surface course, curb and gutter, etc. Where
existing pavement is to be removed, the pavement shall be mechanically
saw-cut prior to trench excavation, leaving a uniform and straight edge
parallel to the utility with minimum disturbance to the remaining adjacent
surface The Permittee shall hold the width of this cut to a minimum. At
each open-cut crossing, the backfill material shall be placed and
compacted per Exhibit "E" of the FDOT Utility Accommodation Guide.
This requirement holds for embankment, subgrade, and base. The
Permittee, if qualified, or a certified laboratory, under the supervision of
the Permittee's consultant, shall make the density determinations. A copy
of all density test reports shall be furnished to the Transportation Services
Division. Immediately following the specified backfilling and compaction, a
temporary sand seal coat surface shall be applied to the cut areas. This
temporary surfacing shall provide a smooth, all.weather traffic surface on
the existing roadway, and shall be maintained until final restoration.
Temporary surfacing shall remain for a minimum of ten days to assure
stability of the backfill under normal traffic conditions. Following this
period and prior to 15 days after application, the temporary surface shall
be removed and the final roadway surface restoration accomplished. To
accomplish the final roadway surface restoration, the temporary surface
shall be removed and the existing adjacent pavement mechanically
sawed straight and clean to the stipulated dimensions Following the
above operation, the Contractor shall proceed immediately with final
pavement restoration in accordance with the requirements set forth by the
applicable FDOT Utility Accommodation Guide, (Exhibit "E"),

of-way shall have identified on the construction plans that maintenance of traffic
will comply with the applicable MUTCD Sections and with the FDOT Index 600
criteria or their successors in function. In cases where detailed Maintenance of
Traffic (MOT) plans are required (to be determined at the discretion of the
County), the Permittee will submit an MOT Plan for that project, signed and
sealed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Florida. At all open-
45
cut crossings, a minimum of one-way traffic shall be maintained during daylight
hours and two-way traffic shall be maintained at night. All traffic detours should
be restricted to the limits of the right-of-way with the necessary flaggers and
marking devices at the sole expense of the Permittee. Each person supervising

wherever possible. Where cutting is required, use the largest size brick
units possible and avoid the use of small pieces of brick or large mortar or
gapped areas.
Set Brick patterns with uniform joint widths as indicated.
A. Immediately clean up sand on paved and finished surface areas.
B. Remove debris and excess materials from project site daily.
3.02 SITE PREPARATION:
The site must be stripped of all topsoil, unstable or unconsolidated
materials to the grades specified. Further construction will not proceed
until the Owner or his representative has inspected the subgrade.
3.03 VERIFICATION OF SUBGRADE:
The Contractor shall ensure that the prepared subgrade is protected from
damage from inundation by surface water and damage by other trades.
No traffic shall be allowed to cross the prepared subgrade. Repair of any
damage resulting shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be
repaired in a satisfactory manner.
Further construction will not proceed until the subgrade has been
inspected by the Owner or his Consultant.
3.04 VERIFICATION OF GRANULAR BASE:
Place graded aggregate for base over compacted subgrade. Provide
compacted thickness of base as indicated. Compacted base shall be
100% of maximum density achieved in accordance with ASTM
Specification 0.698 (100% Standard Protector maximum Dry Density).
Base shall be spread in layers which, when compacted, will not exceed 4".
Profile of base to be within an allowable local tolerance of y," within 10
feet. The upper surface of the base shall be sufficiently well graded and
compacted to prevent infiltration of the bedding sand into the base both
during construction and throughout its service life.
Segregated areas of the granular base shall be "blinded" by the
application of crushed fines that have been watered and compacted into
the surface.
Further construction will not proceed until the base has been inspected
and approved by the Owner or his representative.
3.05 GRANULAR BASE THICKNESS:
For roadway applications with well-drained consolidated subgrade or
poorly drained unconsolidated subgrade the granular base thickness shall
be six inches (6"). The base shall extend the full width of the pavement
and edge restraints plus 4" minimum wherever edge restraints are to be
constructed with the pavement. The 6" base shall be compacted to 95%
compaction.
3.06 EDGE RESTRAINTS:
Adequate edge restraint shall be provided; curb and gutter, edge strips or
established paving units, shall be installed vertically down to the granular
base. All edge restraints specified shall be supported on a compacted
base.
Install edge restraints prior to installation of pavers. See detail.
3.07 SURFACE DRAINAGE:
Gradients and crossfalls shall have a minimum value of 2% (1/4" per foot)
and shall be channeled to appropriate drains away from any unrestrained
edge.
3.08 SAND BEDDING COURSE:
Spreading: The bedding sand shall be spread loose in a uniform layer to
give depth after compaction of the paving units, of between nominally 1"-1
)1.,". Under no circumstances shall the bedding layer exceed 1 1/2" in
thickness following compaction of the pavement.
Screeding: The spread sand shall be carefully maintained in a loose
condition and protected against precompaction by traffic or rain both prior
to and following screeding. Sand shall be lightly screeded in a loose
condition to predetermined depth. Under no circumstances shall the sand
be screeded in advance of laying face to an extent to which paving will not
be completed on that day. Any screeded sand which is precompacted
prior to laying of paving unit shall be brought back to profile in a loose
condition. Neither pedestrian nor vehicular traffic shall be permitted on the
screeded sand. The Contractor shall screed the bedding sand using either
an approved mechanical spreader or by the use of screed guides and
boards.
3.09 INSTAllATION OF PAVERS:
General: Pavers with excessive chips, cracks, voids, discolorations or
other defects shall not be installed (See 2.01A).
Joints: In order to maintain the desired pattern joint spacing must be
consistent. For maximum interlock, it is recommended that a joint spacing
of approximately 1/8" be maintained This spacing must also be provided
for the first row abutting the edge restraint.
Alignment: String lines or chalk lines on bedding sand should be used to
hold all pattern lines true.
Cutting: The gaps at the edge of the paving surface shall be filled with
manufactured edge pavers or with pavers cut to fit. Cutting shall be
accomplished to leave a clean edge to the traffic surface using a
mechanical hydraulic or guillotine cutter or masonry saw.
The use of infill concrete or discontinuities in patterns will not be permitted
except along the outer pavement boundaries; adjacent to drains,
manholes and edge restraints.
Sweeping Clean: Upon completion of cutting, the area must be swept
clean of all debris to facilitate inspection and to ensure pavers are not
damaged during compaction,
Inspection of Installed Pavers: After sweeping and prior to compaction,
the paved area must be inspected to ensure satisfactory color blending.
Pavers can be moved easily at this time to achieve good color distribution.
3.10 INITIAL COMPACTION OF PAVERS:
After inspection of the paving units, they shall be compacted to achieve
consolidation of the sand bedding and brought to design levels and
profiles by not less than three passes of a suitable plate compactor.
Compaction shall be accomplished by the use of a plate compactor
capable of a minimum of 5000-pound compaction force. Initial compaction
should proceed as closely as possible following installation of the paving
units and prior to acceptance of any traffic or application of sweeping
sand.
3.11 PAVER INSPECTION:
Any units, which are structurally damaged during compaction, shall be
immediately removed and replaced.
3.12 JOINTING SAND:
The jointing sand shall be spread over the pavement after initial
compaction has been completed. This jointing sand shall be spread as
soon as is practical after initial compaction and prior to the termination of
work on that day.
The jointing sand shall be broomed to fill the joints. Excess sand shall then
be removed from the pavement surface and the pavers shall be
compacted again to settle the jointing sand.
3.13 FINAL COMPACTION OF PAVERS:
After jointing sand has been installed and the pavement surface swept
clean, final compaction shall be accomplished by not less than two passes
of the place compactor.
Final compaction should proceed as closely as possible following
installation of jointing sand and prior the acceptance of any traffic.
Inspection by the Owner or his representative shall determine whether a
secondapplication or partial application of jointing sand is required.
3.14 CLEAN UP:
Sweep clean all paved areas of excess sand and dirt. Pick up and remove
from the site all surplus materials, equipment and debris resulting from this
section of the work.
3.15 TOLERANCE OF SURFACE PROFILE:
All surface and pavement structures shall be true to the lines, levels,
grades, thickness and cross sections as shown on the drawings.
All pavements shall be finished to lines and levels to ensure positive
drainage at all drainage outlets and channels. In no case shall the
crossfall of any portion of the pavement be less than 2 percent (1/4" per
foot).
The pavement surface shall not deviate by more than 1/2" in 10 feet from
a straight edge laid in any direction.
