This is a followup to recent DSAC discussions on how to improve the environment for development in Collier County. Note that procedural changes are part of the list. This is important to streamline development review as much as code changes. In general, our design standards and codes are way too complex. They have evolved over time to address every complication that arises. The result is more codes to deal with the unintended consequences of the previous code change. 1. Review fees are simply too high. They should be no more than 2% of construction for SDP's and subdivision plans. Rezoning fees should be proportionately lower also. In some cases, county review fees are higher than what we charge to prepare the work. The county only has to review our work, and their fees should be much lower. Many ancillary fees should be eliminated. The basic fee should cover everything. Fire reviews should be eliminated unless a fire review is actually necessary. 2. Limit the number of reviewers on applications. SDP's and subdivisions shouldn't have more than 6 or so reviewers: zoning, engineering, landscaping, utilities. environmental, and transportation are the critical reviews. Others can be folded into these. This would also reduce staffing requirements and reduce operating cost commensurate with fee reductions. It would also greatly speed up review times, which is the major complaint with county reviews. 3. Establish better liaison or coordination with other departments (e.g. transportation) who must review applications to improve the timeliness of their review and eliminate complications from last-minute staff comments. 4. Reduce the sidewalk requirements, especially on external roads. A property owner shouldn't be responsible for building sidewalks that aren't on his property. The county should do this if they want sidewalks. 5. Reduce the requirements for SDPA's and SDPI's. Most SDPA's should be handled as SDPi's, and most SDPI's should be handied as field changes. Larger tolerances in building square footage should also be allowed without triggering an SDPA. 6. Reduce or eliminate the requirement for boundary surveys on all submittals. In most cases, a legal description is sufficient. After all, that's all that appears on someone's deed. 7. Stop requiring the SFWMD permit before SDP or subdivision approval. This could be changed to requiring the SFWMD permit before construction begins. That's what is used to be. 8. Stop requiring conservation easements over all native vegetation. This should only be required for larger preserves as part of state and/or federal permits. Also stop requiring preserve management plans on all native vegetation. 9. For properties undergoing renovation or expansion, reduce the requirements to upgrade existing properties to current codes. This should apply to the building and site work including landscaping, ADA accessibility, sidewalks, etc. We should be encouraging improvement of property, not discouraging it by making it too costly. 10. Sites under 10 acres and 2 acres impervious should only require water quality stormwater detention, not the 25-year storm attenuation (SFWMD rules exempt these sites from their requirements). 11. Stop requiring ADA sidewalks "to the public road." The intent here is to provide ADA access between buildings and vehicles in the parking lot, not beyond which there is no need for such access. 12. Impact fees are astronomical and discourage growth and development. They are actually more significant in construction than some of the actual construction features. The county should look at file://C:\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\M2XOPTYF\George Hermanson email... 3/22/2010 Page 2 of2 reducing them (particularly roads) and look for alternate, broader-based funding sources (ad valorem tax, real estate exchange tax, sales tax, etc.). The requirement for prepayment of 50% of road impact fees should be ended. The cost is simply too burdensome for builders, developers and lends, and is actually chasing away potential businesses and industry from the area. 13. Architectural guidelines should be relaxed, especially for site work. Foundation landscaping should be more flexible to allow narrower landscape strips. Pavers shouldn't be required. Benches and other amenities shouldn't be required. 14. Architectural guidelines should be relaxed for buildings in industrial parks and similar developments where architecture is not as important as function. Some industrial parks should be allowed to look like industrial parks. 15. MANY codes should be changed for the Immokalee area, especially landscaping and architectural guidelines. This may require a separate code for Immokalee, which may be in progress, but this needs to be on the front burner as Immokalee may be key to the county's economic growth. George H. Hermanson} P.E.
