The vegetative communities are based on the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS), Third Edition 1999. Nine (9) vegetative communities were identified on the proposed ±1,608 acre project site. The following vegetative descriptions list the dominant species observed in the field for the purpose of describing the individual habitats and is not a complete list of all species that occur within the project limits. FLUCCS 6170 — Mixed Wetlands Hardwood ±166 Acres This forested wetland habitat is composed of a hardwood tree community tolerant of hydric conditions in which no single species appears to achieve dominance within the canopy. The canopy is comprised of live oak (Quercus virginiana), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), red bay (Persea borbonia), poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), and strangler fig (Ficus aurea). Shrub canopy contains cocoplum (Chrysobalanus icaco), myrsine (Rapanea guinensis), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), saw palmetto (Serena repens), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) and Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana). Representative ground cover species include swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum), leather fern (Acrostichum danaeifolium), Virginia Chain Fern (Woodwardia virginica), royal fern (4smunda regalis), saw -grass (Cladium jamaicense), and sand cordgrass (Spartina bakerii). FLUCCS 6211 - Dwarf Cypress ±675 Acres This forested wetland habitat is primary habitat on the project site and is composed of a stunted pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens) tree canopy in areas with exposed cap rock and minimal marl soils. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, muhly grass (Muhlenbergia filipes), Tracy's beakrnsh (Rhynchospora tracyii), Everglades daisy (Helenium pinnatifdum), star rush (Dichromena colorata), marsh fleabane (Pluchea odoraia), love vine (Cassytha faliformis), and bladderworts (Utricularia spp.). FLUCCS 6215 Cvvress - Domes /Heads ±27 Acres This forested wetland habitat is primarily comprised of bald cypress with scattered dahoon holly (Ilex cassine), pond cypress and cocoplum. It appears to be associated with slight depressions in the cap rock where organic soils have accumulated. Ground cover is primarily sawgrass. FLUCCS 6216 Cypress - Mixed Hardwoods f 166 Acres This forested wetland habitat is composed of a bald cypress with scattered pond cypress, dahoon holly, cocoplum, red bay, myrsine, and wax myrtle. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, mutely grass, Tracy's beakrush, Everglades daisy, star rush, marsh fleabane, bladderworts, swamp lily (Crinum americana), and lemon bacopa ( Bacopa caroliniana). FLUCCS 6310 - Wetland Scrub ±57 Acres Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area 1 of 2 Appendix V. C.1 Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Appendix V.C.1 - Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System Vegetative Classifications This forested wetland community is dominated by dense, low- growing, woody shrubs and small trees. Tree species observed include sabal palm, willow, wax myrtle, dahoon holly, saltbush, buttonbush, and saplings of red maple, sweetbay (Magnolia virginica), and other hydric tree species indicative of wooded wetlands. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, sand cordgrass, marsh fleabane, duck potato (Sagitaria lancifolia), and pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata) . FLUCCS 641 OD — Freshwater Marsh, Disturbed ±5 Acres These small pockets of herbaceous wetlands are dominated by herbacous emergent vegetation. This depressional wetland habitat appears in conjunction with the cleared areas surrounding the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and adjacent exposed rock with marsh grasses FLUCCS 7310 and appear to have been created when these areas were originally cleared for excavation of the borrow areas. Representative ground cover species include spikerush (Eleocharis interstincta), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), lemon bacopa (Bacopa carohniana), and torpedo grass (Panicum repens). FLUCCS 7310 - Exposed Rock with Marsh Grasses ±46 Acres These areas occur surrounding the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and are comprised of disturbed rock soils. Representative ground cover species include knot grass (Paspalum distichum), torpedo grass (Panicum repens), common reed (Phragmites australis), common frog -fruit (Phyla nodiflora), yellow nut sedge (Cyperus esculentus), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), rust - weed (Polypremum procumbens), marsh pink (Sabatia stellaris), muhly grass, sawgrass, star rush, marsh fleabane, southern fleabane (Erigeron quercifolius), and widely scattered trees such as Brazilian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) and Australian Pine (Casuarina spp.). FLUCCS 7420 - Borrow Areas X51 Acres The deep cut borrow areas contain minimal littoral areas vegetated with herbaceous wetland species such as cattail (Typha spp.), sawgrass, wax myrtle, and scattered Brazilian pepper. FLUCCS 7440 - Fill Areas ±13 Acres These areas are the filled roads leading to the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and contain minimal vegetation along the edges with the surrounding habitat. In areas where vegetation is present representative ground cover species include torpedo grass, common frog -fruit, marsh pink, rust - weed, yellow nut sedge, broomsedge, star rush, and various upland grasses.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains the state list of animals designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A- 27.003, 68A - 27.004, and 68A - 27.405, respectively, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), https : / /www.flrules.org/DefaWt.asp. The state lists of plants, which are designated endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited, are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) via Chapter 513-40, F.A.C. This list of plants can be obtained at http: / /wwNv.fl- dof.com/forest management/plant conserve list.html. The federal agencies that share the authority to list species as Endangered and Threatened are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA -NMFS) and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NOAA -NMFS is responsible for listing most marine species. The federal list of animals and plants is administered by the USFWS, and this list is published in 50 CFR 17 (animals) and 50 CFR 23 (plants). Additional information regarding federal listings can be located at the following websites; NOAA -NMFS - http: / /www.mnfs.noaa.gov and USFWS - http: // endangered .fws.gov /wildlife.html #Species. Please note that while the FWC has published a consolidated list of state and federally listed species in the past, we now only publish a list of species listed within the state of Florida. This list will be maintained and available at our agency website: http: / /www.myfwc.com. Lists of federally listed species can still be viewed at the USFWS and NOAA -NMFS websites mentioned above. It is our intent by providing the list in this manner that we will be able to maintain a current list that is more readily available to the public. • Common and scientific names listed first are as they appear in the Florida Administrative Code, Title 68A. Common and/or scientific names rollowing this and located within parentheses () contain names as used by USFWS, or other commonly used names. Bradley J. Gruver, Ph.

REQUIRED INFORMATION D. GROWTH MANAGEMENT 5.b. Yes . The proposed land use district known as the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area District will create an increase in intensity of the subject area which is approximately 1,608 acres. This area is currently owned by MiamrDade County and is managed by the Aviation Department. The area proposed for amendment is part of a larger parcel of land (Parcel #: 01233520000) that is known as the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport or "TNT ". MiamimDade County Park and Recreation Department ('the Department'), is currently developing, with State Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry funding from the T. Mark Schmidt OHV Recreation Grant Program, a plan for off - highway vehicles (OHV) to use trails on the property. This plan is part of a State initiative to address a deficiency in outdoor recreational areas suitable for safe OHV use. In particular, the State is seeking a location proximate to Miami /South Florida where such use can take place without impacting dense urban areas. To this end, the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department did a comprehensive feasibility study in August of 2007 to determine the most appropriate and beneficial location considering all feasible sites within MiamF Dade County considering (14) fourteen criterion; see Appendix V.D.5b.1 - Off - Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study for a copy of this study. Of the (20 +) twenty plus sites considered in the study, this site was considered 'the most viable long -term option'. Colter County has similarly investigated appropriate sites located on Conservation Lands that can support the type of OHV use considered in this Application; see Appendix V.D.516.2 - Collier County Park and Recreation Department letter. The type of Off - highway Vehicles (OHV) to be allowed in this Recreation Area will be pursuant to the Florida State Statute, Section 261.03(6) and 261.20, Definition, "Off- highway vehicle ", and includes any ATV, two -rider All- terrain Vehicle (ATV), or Off - highway motorcycle (OHM) that is used off the roads or highways of this state and that is not registered and licensed for highway use under Chapter 320; see Appendix V.D.5b.3 - F.S. 260.03, Definition of OHV. Florida State Statute 261.20 states that: "Operations of off - highway vehicles on public lands; restrictions; safety courses; required equipment; prohibited acts; penalties. (2) Any person operating an off - highway vehicle as permitted in this section who has not attained 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult while operating the off - highway vehicle. (4) (a) The department shall approve all off - highway vehicle public safety- education programs required by this chapter as a condition for operating on public lands." The MiamFDade County Park and Recreation Department seeks to transition this subject area closer to its natural state. This includes reducing the current impact of unregulated off - highway vehicle use and eliminating sport hunting throughout Appendix V.D.5b 1 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 the subject area; see Appendix V.D.5b.4 - Existing Trails. The Department has the resources to regulate and improve the area by stabilizing certain existing trails system so that off - highway vehicles do not further destroy this area. Once this recreational area is fully managed, it can serve as a regional resource for the residents of South Florida and its visitors. The Benefits: The proposed Recreation Area Project will provide conservation and recreation area for residents of both Miami -Dade and Collier Counties, specifically, the benefits and intentions of this proposed project include: 1. Transition a portion of the TNT Jetport property back to an environmental state that enhances the existing and intact natural resources while still retaining an appropriate level of recreational use. 2. Secondarily, the transition of this property would serve as a buffer between existing uses of the runway to the north and the existing Tamiami Trail to the south. 3. Create a partnership between Miami -Dade County and Collier County Park and Recreation agencies to create additional park land for respective growing urban populations and support recreational uses not always permissible within urban environments. 4. Introduce into the area a diversity of recreational uses, all suited to the type of natural environments found on the property without compromising biological systems that are presently in place. 5. Preserve intact natural areas that support and enhance the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern /Special Treatment area and its policies. 6. Identify opportunities for mitigation and restoration of select areas of the site previously impacted by runway development. 7. Introduce adaptive resource management to promote better consistency with natural cycles such that only certain areas of the property were completely open to use and time and location closures would insure the protection of sensitive areas. The Intent and Use: The planning approach involves creating an outdoor recreation area that balances the preservation of natural resources, such as the intact cypress heads, tree islands, and wet prairies, with recreational destinations and amenities and connecting them through trails for hiking, mountain biking and riding OHVs (Off - Highway Vehicles). Due to the swampy characteristics of the site, trails are necessary to allow the public to pass near the natural attractions, such as, lakes, cypress heads, and tree islands. • Existing trails that adversely impact intact and sensitive natural areas will be removed and the area restored back to original conditions. • Existing trails located on previously disturbed tilled pads, around lakes or aligned on existing swamp buggy trails that do not adversely impact natural areas, will in some cases be retained. Appendix V.D.5b 2 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 • Existing trails that now interrupt sheet flow will be modified and stabilized in a manner more consistent with the topography and sheet flow of the natural area. Trails will be buffered from sensitive natural areas to allow walkers, bikers, birdwatchers, mountain bikers, and OHV riders a view without degrading the natural resources. This will also involve buffering trail use between OHV and non - OHV users by limiting the intersection in which the two trail types intersect and distancing OHV trails from non -OHV trails where possible. The proposed archery range will not be a fully cleared range A release to target type of archery combined with trailed will be employed which will have only selective clearing and minimal impact on the natural environs. These will be 'trued' during the final design to minimize impacts. Further details in the types of buffering will be determined in the parks management program established during the site planning process. The proposed area is 1,608 acres and will allow for designated trails throughout the subject area. A Visitor's Center building, approximately 2,200 -2,400 square feet, is planned which will include an administrative area (small office room), orientation /education area, restrooms, electrical and a small meeting room (with media capability for training /orientation purposes). The parking for the facility may include a hard surface or paved with enough space for 80 cars and trucks with trailers; see Appendix V.D.5b.5- Conceptual Plan.

At present, the site is generally not open to the public, except for gladesmen who operate unpermitted legacy campsites within the property, OHV riders who trespass on the property and permitted Eco- Adventure tours operated by the MiamimDade Park and Recreation Department. 2. Seasonal and location closures will limit the time and type of public visitations to the proposed Recreation Area. 3. The maximum annual uses for OHV visitation will be limited by the number of users and the frequency of their use via a permit system, not unlike what the National Park Service uses for the Big Cypress National Preserve. Table 1 -B: The followina table delineates the existing and proposed trail system: Activity Approximate Exist! ng Trail Length (miles) Approximate Proposed Trail Length (Mies) Description Hiking /Bicycling/ 27 10 Reduction in size and length of Wildlife Trials existing trails to establish lightly stabilized connections to destinations and key natural areas Off- Highway 22 15 Reduction in size and length of Vehicle Trails existing trails to establish stabilized routs that avoid sensitive areas Surrounding land use is all designated as Conservation and is entirely consistent with proposed use of the subject site. Except for Aviation and Native American tribal uses, many of the proposed uses already take place on adjacent lands. ➢ Camping. Legacy camping from hunters and " Gladesmen" occurs throughout the area. It takes the form of primitive camp areas and formal developed mobile homes campsites. All date back to the 1950's, prior to land use regulations and permitting. There are similar camp areas throughout the area, on both the National Park Service (NPS), and Tribal areas. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of camping activities. ➢ Fishing. There are five lakes on the subject site and even more in the surrounding NPS, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Tribal and private areas. All were created as borrow pits during the construction of the Jetport. At present, the lakes on the subject site are minimally managed and used. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of fishing activities. ➢ Hiking, bicycling and wildlife viewing. Hiking, bicycling and wildlife Viewing within the subject site and on adjacent land is very minimal. It is largely confined to occasional Eco-Adventure tours sponsored by the MiamimDade Park and Recreation Department and involving local Appendix V.D.5b 4 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 residents only. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of hiking, bicycling or wildlife viewing activities. ➢ OHV. OHV use is currently authorized on adjacent NPS and Miami - Dade County lands. At present, Big Cypress National Preserve authorizes approximately 2,000 OHV permits to access and use NPS property. No counts of annual visitation are provided by staff, but prior year projections indicate that total annual user occasions exceed 20,000 during times the Preserve is open, on the over 400 miles of designated roads and trails plus accessible waterways (2009 Big Cypress National Preserve, Off -Road Vehicle Management Plan, Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement). Additionally, the County permits an unregulated number of OHV to access the property year round for hunting and legacy camp purposes, with the majority occurring off the subject site. No quantitative number of vehicles is known since there is no requirement for permitting or inspection. Proposed use of the subject site will limit OHV use to ATV and motocross vehicles, thereby reducing the length of trails, areas of impact and types of vehicles that now access the property. Although there is an expected increase in the numbers of vehicles to the subject site, an adaptive Management Program and the stabilization of trails will reduce overall adverse impacts and serve to improve the overall resource values of the property. It is further expected that the numbers of Miami -Dade and Collier County accidents, deaths, wildfires and resource damage caused by unrestricted use in these areas will also be reduced. Moreover, since the Management Program will be developed in coordination with Big Cypress National Preserve, it may serve to reduce some of the present use on their lands since this property under consideration shares an entry access road with the adjacent Park use. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of OHV activities. ➢ Archery. Archery in the form of permitted hunting already takes place on this and surrounding lands. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of archery range activities. ➢ Other Conservation Uses. Other conservation uses in the form of photography, scientific studies and game population management by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), already take place on this site and surrounding areas. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of other conservation uses. The subject site will operate on a seasonal basis, effectively closing or limiting operation during peak wet season and during the peak dry season. This will take place to eliminate access to sensitive areas, limit adverse impacts to fragile soils or limit the advent of wildfires. The anticipated annual visitation for each activity is note in Table I above. The peak usage seasonally is noted in Table 1C below: Appendix V.D.5b 5 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Table 1C - Dade - Collier Cvoress Recreation Area - Prolected Freauencv of Use The MiamimDade County Park and Recreation Department is committed to reducing any adverse impacts caused by trail riders who may stray from the stabilized trail. This effort will be addressed in the management plan during the site planning process. Every effort will be made to appropriately locate trails such that resources are protected and visitor's experiences are not diminished. Where trails are close or intersect, OHV riders will be requied to maintain slow speeds that will reduce noise and collisions. For much of the site, however, an appropriate separation will be used to establish the trail system using best management practices available from publications. The Department will be guided by national best management practices as established in "Management Guidelines for OHV Recreation" and "Park Guidelines for OHVs" both from the National Off - Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) ".

Appendix V.D.5b 6 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Currently, the proposed improvements and associated impacts are illustrated on a conceptual diagram that is intended for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a final site plan. A comprehensive analysis during site plan development will also consider criteria associated with the intended experience of the visitor to provide recreational OHV users with access and to avoid or minimize visual impacts, safety hazards, and conflicts with other types of visitors to the recreation area. A site specific analysis utilizing geographic information system technologies and ground- truthing will be used to refine the environmentally suitable locations for on site improvements and appropriate routing for trails based upon existing trails and direct development to areas of suitable substrate and maximize use of existing disturbed areas. Subsequent to the Growth Management Plan Amendment, (GMPA), and prior to any development of the site, the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department will complete an environmental analysis as part of an area management plan along with a detailed parks plan. These plans will offer the opportunity for both Miami -Dade and Collier Counties to partner with State and Federal agencies to create and implement a comprehensive management plan that will be a benefit for the natural environs, users and the public. The proposed Resource Management Plan will include: 1. Enhance and improve intact natural resources by providing site planning and resource management that governs use in manner that protects water, soil, vegetation and wildlife resources. 2. Manage and balance recreational uses to eliminate trespassing on the property, unregulated access and camping, eliminate hunting within the site and establish appropriate locations and carrying capacities for all uses. 3. Create a visitor experience that allows exploration and understanding of the scenic and recreational value of the site without compromising resource or public safety. 4. The County will work to prepare a Management Plan that establishes policies and practices that are complimentary and supportive of the Big Cypress National Park (BCNP) Management Plan and the Off -Road Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan. 5. Institute management practices that improve certain areas (lakes) to improve their biological diversity and improve the trail system by closing, relocating and stabilizing certain trails to reduce the number of trails, avoid sensitive areas and reduce access points. Supporting Documents, pursuant to 9J- 11.006 Submittal Requirements for Proposed Local Government Comprehensive Plan Amendments, F.A.C.: See Appendices V.13.1 - Existing - Future Land Use Map (FLUM), IV.D.1 Future Land Use Map (FLUM), V.D.5b.4 - Existing Trails, V.A.1 - Location Map. Supportina Data and Analysis: Pursuant to 9J- 11.007 Data and Analysis Requirements for proposed Local Government Comprehensive Plan Amendments: The proposed future land use Appendix V.D.5b 7 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 designation is based on the increasing demand from the citizens of MiamimDade and Collier Counties for additional recreational uses. The Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department has received multiple requests from citizens and local community organizations for outdoor recreational uses that includes fishing, archery, bird watching, mountain biking, hiking, camping and off - highway vehicle use. This is an excellent opportunity for Miami -Dade County to provide its citizens with these types of uses that the State has already demonstrated and reported to be deficient within the region; see Appendix V.D.5b.6 - SCORP. The State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), as provided by the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks, clearly shows a lack of motorized trails in the South Florida region. The subject area for the proposed amendment is within Collier County; however, it is adjacent to the Miami -Dade County boundaries and offers an opportunity to serve the residents of both jurisdictions due to its strategic location. There are approximately 54,000 OHV's registered within 100 miles of the subject area. The following website, http: / /vvww.floridaohv.ora /ohv locations.html, provides the location for OHV activity sites. According to this site, the Big Cypress National Preserve is the only public site in the South Florida area that provides an opportunity for OHV's. Due to the continuing demand from citizens in and around the area, an additional area for OHV's other than the Big Cypress Preserve is necessary. This demand is demonstrated as such through emails and phone calls as provided in Appendix V.D.5b.7 - Public Inquiries. It should also be noted that both Lee and Hendry Counties were awarded the T. Mark Schmidt OHV Grant Program funding, yet were unable to complete the siting process. This also indicates that adjacent counties have been looking to fulfill the additional demand for this type of activity; Appendix V.D.5b.8 - Lee County Agenda Request Form. The Need: Over the years, the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department has received numerous inquiries (approximately three to five phone calls a month) from citizens and organizations requesting a place for such uses described in the proposed amendment. In addition, there have been frequent OHV rallies, e- mails, and other forms of public demand for OHV areas which are received by Miami -Dade County. Documentation supporting this need is included in Appendix V.D.5b.7 - Public Inquiries. Several OHV groups exist in Miami, and have large groups of riders to support this need. This has resulted in the Miami - Dade County Park and Recreation Department pursuing suitable and cost effective County owned sites for these uses. In further support for the increasing demand; see Appendix V.D.5b.9 - OHV Titled in Miami -Dade County for a map representing the location of OHV Titled for 2002 - 2006 and Appendix V.D.5b.10 - OHV Titled in Collier County for those in Collier County. Miam�Dade County has a total of 12,842 titled OHV's from 2002 to 2006 and has the second highest number of titles in Florida. Collier County has 5,560 titled OHV's. Of the surrounding counties, Broward County has 12,543 titled OHV's from 2002 -2008 which is the third highest in the State. Palm Beach has 11,464 titled OHV's which is the fourth highest in the State, and Lee County has Appendix V.D.5b 8 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 9,100 titled OHV's; see Appendix V.D.5b.11 - Florida OHV County Title Activity, 6/30/02 to 12/31/08. The Appendix depicting OHV's titled for 2002 - 2006 Map, provides a graphic representation of the numerous OHV owners and potential park users in Miami -Dade County, as well as the number of title transactions in the adjacent counties, further demonstrating the need for the proposed request. To date, the subject area for the proposed amendment is the most cost feasible location to provide its citizens a recreational area for this type of use. This project will bring a level of resource management and enforce and protect visitor and facility security. Support from the public, including a list of active OHV organizations that create a demand for the proposed comprehensive plan amendment is noted below and documentation of these organizations and others can be found in Appendix V.D.5b.12 - OHV Organizations and Clubs. o AtvMiamiExtreme.com Enthusiast Group (Cary Hernandez, Javier Ortega, Leo Lopez) o ATVFlorida.com Enthusiast Group (Jose Camps - Miami, Dennis Bolanos - Naples) o ATV Safety Instructor (certified through the ATV Safety Institute) - Brooke Lynch o M.E.

While this study emphasizes the need in MiamFDade County, it is important to note that the subject site, while in Collier County, borders MiamFDade and 'The Need' for the residents of Collier County is attested to by the number of reported titled vehicles, (Appendix V.D.516.10). Further, the proposed park and use for the residents of each respective county has also been supported by the recently signed resolutions by both the Miami -Dade and Collier County Commissions, Appendix V.D.5b.13 - Miami -Dade Resolution and Appendix V.D.5b.14- Collier County Resolution. Support: In addition to the Joint Resolutions (Appendix V.D.5b.13 and V.D.5b.14) in support of the need and partnership between both Counties, there is widespread support for the proposed amendment beyond the user interest groups, as typified in the letters of support received from a variety of people and organizations including: The Everglades Coordinating Councit, Miami Dade County's Aviation Department (MDAD); Commissioner Jose Diaz, Vice Chairman of the Miami -Dade Board of County Commissioners, the Collier County Manager; and the National Off - Highway Vehicle Conservation Council; see Appendix Appendix V.D.51b 9 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 V.D.5b.15 - Letters of Support, as well as Appendix V.D.5b.2 - Collier County Park and Recreation Department Letter. In addition, Miami -Dade County is within the State Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) Region 4 geographical area, which was identified by the State OHV Advisory Committee as the highest need area for OHV trails and safety training areas. Consistency and Compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan: As part of the supporting data and analysis, the applicant is submitting the below objectives and policies from the Collier County Comprehensive Plan. These objectives and policies support the proposed DADE- COLLIER CYPRESS RECREATION AREA DISTRICT and indicate a consistency with the proposed amendment. Future Land Use Element: Conservation Designation - The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreation and economic benefits. All native habitats possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier islands, coastal bays, wetlands, and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. The Conservation Designation is intended to protect certain vital natural resource areas of the County, which are primarily owned by the pubfic, although private in- holdings and privatey owned conservation areas do exist. This Designation includes such areas as Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier - Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Recreation Area, and the National Audubon Society's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned). The boundaries of the Conservation Designation may periodically change as properties are acquired by public entities or private land management or conservation groups. Anticipated impacts on surrounding land uses are anticipated to be minimal. This project emphasizes protection of natural resources in a manner that would leave the resources unimpaired for future users, while allowing public access for resource - related recreational opportunities. Habitat will largely remain in its current state with minimal impacts. Habitat degradation typically associated with urbanization, residential development, road construction, and conversion to agriculture are not proposed with this project. It is the intent of the applicant to fully cooperate with the local, State, and Federal agencies with jurisdiction over Appendix V.D.5b 10 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 the proposed activities to improve the public facilities in a manner that complements and further enhances the natural resources of the site. Policy 3.1(b): The [Land Development Code] (LDQ contains provisions that protect environmentally sensitive lands and provide for the retention of open space. This has been accomplished, through the implementation of various zoning districts and zoning overlays that restrict higher intensity land uses in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and, which require specific land development standards for the remaining allowable land uses, through the adoption of permanent Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) Overlays integration of State of Florida Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern regulations into the LDC, and, in part, through implementation of the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay. This has also been accomplished through the implementation of regulations such as minimum open space requirements, native vegetation preservation requirements, and/or through the creation of incentives that encourage the use of creative land use planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County's Agricultural/Rural Designated Area. As stated in the above analysis of this Appendix, the proposed recreation area will conform to Policy 3.1(b) by maintaining and enhancing the conservation lands within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. No more than 10% of disturbance to the total site area is anticipated. In addition, capital funds that are acquired through the recreational use of this property may be utilized to further enhance other previously disturbed areas of the site which are planned to be utilized as passive recreation areas. By appropriately managing this recreational use and improving previously disturbed areas to a more natural state will allow the property to maintain compatibility with the Conservation Future Land Use designation. The final location of uses will be `trued' in the field and a management plan will be drafted during the rezoning and /or site plan approval process to ensure this compatibility. Recreation and Open Space Element: Policy 1.4.2: Collier County shall continue to coordinate the provision of recreational facilities and activities with other governmental jurisdictions that own or operate such facilities and activities within, or adjacent to, Collier County. Sold governmental entities shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: U.S. Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Park Service The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Forestry Lee County, Florida Hendry County, Florida Broward County, Florida Appendix V.D.5b 11 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Miami Dade County, Florida Monroe County, Florida The South Florida Water Management District, Big Cypress Basin Board The Collier County School Board The City of Naples, Florida The City of Marco Island, Florida Everglades City, Florida The City of Bonita Springs, Florida Policy 1.4.2 supports the partnership between Collier and MiamFDade Counties. Due to the location of the subject site, the proposed recreational facility has the opportunity to be utilized by residents of both jurisdictions, as well as those in neighboring Broward County. Further reinforcement of this policy as it pertains to the proposed amendment is indicated through the Resolution directing the Miami -Dade County Mayor to negotiate an Interlocal Agreement with Collier County for the joint development and operation of the subject site, Appendix V.D.5b.13, and likewise, by the Resolution recently passed by Collier County, Appendix V.D.5b.14. Recreation and Open Space Element Level -of- Service: Policy 1.1.1: Collier County hereby adopts the following level of service standards for facilities and land owned by the County or available to the general public: Level of Service Standard: A. 1.2882 acres of community parkland /1,000 population (unincorporated) B. 2.9412 acres of regional park land/ 1,000 population Policy 1.1.1 establishes the level -of- service standard for Collier County's Recreation and Open Space. The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Element will further enhance the recreational levekof- service standard to provide an additional 1608 acres of recreational land for Collier County's citizens. Recreation and Open Space Element level -of- Service: Policy 1.1.6: The County shall continue to establish and implement a program with appropriate criteria to designate or acquire open space areas and natural reservations. Policy 1.1.6 establishes a program to acquire open space and natural reservations. The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Element will further increase the land area within Collier County designated as these types of areas for Collier County's citizens. ! Appendix V.D.5b 12 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Economic Element: OBJECTIVE 1 (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural, Cultural and Social Resources): Collier County will encourage the conservation and enhancement of those natural, cultural, and social resources that represent the foundation of the County's existing retirement, recreation, and tourist- oriented economy, in order to place the County in a competitive position to enable the retention and expansion of these and other business opportunities. Policy 1.1: Collier County will encourage the development of diverse cultural facilities through public, private, or public/private partnerships that meet the needs of the residents and visitors of the County. Objective 1 and Policy 1.1 promote the proposed use of a recreational facility and tourist- oriented economy (RV parking and natural recreation area) as well as the development of diverse cultural facilities. The OHV activity is a cultural activity that has wide popularity in South Florida as indicated by the number of potential registered OHV titles. Additionally, the proposed development will comply with the demands of the ridership in the areas as established in Appendix V.D.5b.9 and Appendix V.D.5b.10. A parks management system will have the capability to secure passive recreational areas by utilizing fees generated by OHV permits. OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups /Programs): Collier County will support the economic development goals, efforts and community involvement of nonprofit organizations, civic associations and local groups and programs. The proposed amendment promotes Objective 4 by providing a recreational use facility for the OHV organizations; see Appendix V.D.5b.12 for a listing of these organizations and clubs. Conservation and Coastal Management Element: GOAL 1: The County shall continue to plan for the protection, conservation, management and appropriate use of its natural resources. OBJECTIVE 1.1: Collier County will continue to develop and implement a comprehensive environmental management and conservation program, which will ensure that the natural resources, including State and Federally listed animal species, of Collier County are properly, appropriately, and effectivey identified, managed, and protected. The proposed amendment will conform to, and further enhance the Conservation and Coastal Management Element's Goal and Objective by maintaining the sites conservational use in an effort to promote an outdoor recreation area for Collier County and South Florida residents. The site is currently disturbed by unmanaged and unrestricted use of the property due to OHV's. Appendix V.D.5b 13 of 14 Revised 7.1 0.09 This is evident from the Existing Trails Map of the site provided in Appendix V.D.516.4 - Existing Trails which indicates disturbed trail areas throughout the site. Should the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department be permitted to establish a parks and area management plan system for this site, it will be possible to protect further resources from being disturbed after improvements to the site have been made. A parks management system will have the capability to secure passive recreational areas by utilizing fees generated by OHV permits. Additionally, the disturbed trail area, already existing, is approximately 22 miles while the proposed OHV trail area will be approximately 12 miles. This is a reduction to the current disturbance and will bring those areas back into the fold of conservation management. The proposed OHV trail area and uses will be significantly reduced, including a sizable reduction in the number of existing trails; see Table 1 -A above for existing and proposed use data and Table 1 -B for the trails data. The primary goal of the Collier County Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) is to ensure that the natural resources, including State and Federally listed animal species, are properly, appropriately, and effectively identified, managed, and protected. In addition, the CCME protects native vegetative communities and discourages the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred by the Florida panther or other listed species by directing intensive land uses to currently disturbed areas and directing incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. This project emphasizes protection of natural resources in a manner that would leave the resources unimpaired for future users, while allowing regulated public access for resource - related recreational opportunities. Habitat will largely remain in its current state with minimal impacts. The focus is to establish activities in existing disturbed areas and utilize existing trails where appropriate. Habitat degradation typically associated with urbanization, residential development, road construction, conversion to agriculture, mining and mineral exploration is not proposed with this project. It is the intent of the applicant to fully cooperate with the local, State, and Federal agencies with jurisdiction over the proposed activities to improve the public facilities in a manner that complements the natural resources of the site. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Florida Panther Recovery Plan and the South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan both recommend similar actions that must take place for successful management and recovery of listed species. This project furthers those actions by maintaining listed species habitat in south Florida (development will be concentrated on existing impacted areas and trails and uses with an overall footprint of new impacts which is anticipated to be a small percentage, less then 10 percent of the site). In addition, public awareness and education regarding onsite listed species conservation and recovery will be furthered through site specific learning opportunities via educational signage along the trails and a visitor's center.

According to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), over 25,000 off- highway vehicles (OHV) have been regis- tered in Miami -Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties since October 2002. At the same time, locations for lawful OHV riding have not been available to meet the increasing demand in the region. This has prompted the Florida Division of Forestry (DOF) to target South Florida as a critical area for development of new OHV recreation facilities. Miami -Dade County also recognized a need to provide safe, convenient facilities to address conflicts resulting from unregu- lated OHV riding. In April 2006, the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department ( MDCPRD) applied for and was awarded a grant by the DOF to conduct this Off - Highway Vehicles Trail Feasibility Study. The study is founded on four premises: #1) OHV riding is a legitimate, family - oriented recreational activity that enjoys increasing popularity among South Florida residents; #2) facilities for legal OHV riding do not currently exist within Miami - Dade County; #3) the mission of the MDCPRD is to provide for the recreational needs of County residents and visitors; and #4) the needs of OHV enthusiasts for such facilities should be balanced with the need to protect natural resources and to use County lands in a responsible manner. The goal of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study is to identify one or more sites within Miami -Dade County that could be trans- formed into an OHV recreational facility. The scope of the study encompasses a County -wide site search and site analysis to identify sites that are both suitable for use as OHV recreation areas, and available for sale, lease, or use agreement. The MDCPRD will use the conclusions and recommendations in this report to determine an appropriate course of action, leading to the acquisition, design, and construction of one or more OHV trail facilities within the County. This study consisted of a series of steps, including GIS -based analysis in the initial stages to identify a range of potential sites, and extensive interaction with OHV enthusiasts and governmental agencies throughout the process. In all, eight meet- ings were held with stakeholder groups, both separately and jointly, to solicit input and to review and corroborate informa- tion. Further, the criteria for the determination of site feasibility were established based on input received from these groups, as well as on the expertise of the County's consultant team for this project. 6- Ilk 15 Appendix V.D.5b.1 Based on the findings and outcomes of this process, this study recommends additional investigation of five sites. Land surrounding the Dade - Collier County Training and Transition Airport (or TNT Airport) stands out as the most viable long -term option. While it is not immediately available, this location has the best overall collection of desired site characteristics: large acreage under single public ownership; ready road access; potentially available for lease or agreement; already vegetated; and distant from residential neighborhoods. TNT Airport will require extensive permitting and coordination with several agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Miami -Dade County Aviation Department. Two other sites offer potential opportunities for permanent OHV facilities. These sites are identified in this report as the Lands East of the Homestead Speedway and the Florida Rock and Sand (FRS) Holdings, both located in south Miami -Dade County. Because of these sites' recent inclusion in the study, their recommendations are contingent upon additional due diligence, including contacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. They have many of the same desirable characteristics as the preceding site -they are large relative to other sites available in Miami - Dade County, appealing to users, distant from incompatible uses, etc. —and have fewer environmental constraints. They are less appealing overall because of their ownership composition. Both are privately held and in the case of the East of Speedway lands, ownership is highly fragmented. The anticipated cost and coordination required to assemble a large enough site for an OHV facility may make these sites ultimately unfeasible. Because these sites emerged as possible candidates later in the study process, some investigation remains to be done, including mak- ing contact with the property owners to determine if they are willing sellers. The last two sites being recommended for further action are Countyline Motocross Park and the former Opa -locka West Airport. Both are considered "near term," although the connotation of that phrase differs for each site. Coun- tyline Motocross Park is an existing site with immediate availability. A private vendor has operated a motocross practice track on the site since negotiating a short -term lease with the County. While that agreement expired at the end of May 2007, the vendor will continue on a month -to -month basis until the MDCPRD issues a Request for Proposal and selects a vendor to commit to a five -year contract. This report recommends that MDCPRD continue this process in orderto facilitate a more permanent situation. The former Opa -locks West Airport site is a near term solution in the sense that the need for action is immediate and the site's availability period brief. The County Avia- tion Department recently announced plans to sell 90 percent of the property to a private mining company by the end of 2008. Unless the deal unexpectedly falls through, this will leave a very short and near -term -only solution, the immediacy of which could be additionally burdened by a nine -month to one -year wetlands fill permit process. This study recommends simultaneously pursuing two ormore of the above - referenced sites to adequately serve the needs, preferences, and geographical dispersion of present and future OHV enthusiasts. Given the current dearth of facilities in the County, it is advisable to carry forward to immediately secure at least one near -term opportunity, while further investigating the prospects of leasing, acquiring, or entering into a interagency use agreement for at least one of the long -term sites. To this end, we recommend that the MDCPRD apply, at the earliest opportunity, for implementation funds (acquisition, design, and/or construction). Possible funding sources include the T. Mark Schmidt Off - Highway Vehicle grant program, the Department of Environmental Protection's Greenways and Trails grant program, as well as Miami -Dade County funds. 16 Appendix V.D.5b.1 I . INTRODUCTION The goal of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study is to identify one or more sites within Miami -Dade County that could be transformed into an OHV recreational facility. The scope of the study encom- passes a County -wide site search and site analysis to identify sites that are both suitable for use as OHV recreation areas, and avail- able for sale, lease, or use agreement. The M DCPRD will use the conclusions and recommendations in this report to determine an appropriate course of action, hopefully leading to the acquisition, design, and construction of one or more OHV trail facilities within the County. The feasibility study is based on four central premises: • OHV riding is a legitimate, family- oriented recreational activity that enjoys increasing popularity among South Florida resi- dents • facilities for legal OHV riding do not currently exist within Mi- ami -Dade County • the mission of the Park and Recreation Department is to pro- vide for the recreational needs of County residents and visi- tors • the needs of OHV enthusiasts for such facilities should to be balanced with the need to protect natural resources and use County lands in a responsible manner. The popularity of off- highway motorized recreation in South Flor- ida has surged significantly over the past decade. According to the Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, over 25,000 OHVs have been registered in Miami -Dade, Broward, and Mon- roe Counties since October 2002. At the same time, locations for lawful OHV riding have not been available during this period to meet the increasing user demand in the region. This prompted the Florida DOF to target South Florida as a critical area for de- velopment of new OHV facilities. Appendix V.D.5b.1 Miami -Dade County also recognized a need to provide safe, convenient facilities to address conflicts resulting from un- regulated OHV riding. In determining the immediate need for action, the MDCPRD took into account the consequences of not providing a park for local OHV users. Overtime, recurrent, unauthorized riding in ecologically sensitive areas —as evidenced by aerial photography of wetland areas in west and south Miami -Dade County —can cause heavy damage that4 is costly to mitigate. In addition, OHV trespass creates conflicts between riders and property owners, as well as conflicts with adjacent uses. The County's Agricultural Patrol Unit reports an increase in complaints coming from residential ar- eas, farmers, and agencies responsible for environmental mitigation and protection efforts. 19 Appendix V.D.5b 1 Since the first draft of this document was presented for public review in Decem- RECCMMENDED ber 2006, the feasibility study has been substantially revised to address new or revised information provided by stakeholders or collected by the Consultant SITES Team. Over 200 OHV enthusiasts and representatives from stakeholder agen- cies participated in a January 24th, 2007 public workshop. Stakeholder groups had an opportunity to comment on the user appeal of sites and to suggest new locations for further exploration. Attendees were also invited to complete a LAND SURROUNDING TNT AIRPORT preference survey. A multi- agency round table was held on February 20, 2007 *EAST OF SPEEDWAY to review the environmental, regulatory, and availability status of the potential sites. Subsequent meetings were held with agencies and enthusiasts to verify *FLORIDA ROCK AND SAND (FRS) the most current and available information. HOLDINGS Of the 23 candidate sites evaluated in this report, this study recommends fur - - - ther investigation of five. Land surrounding the Dade - Collier County TNTAir- port stands out as the most viable long -term option. While it is not immediately COUNTYLINE MOTOCROSS PARK (AT available —as described later in more detail —this site has the best overall col - M.E. THOMPSON PARK) lection of desired site characteristics. Namely, it is large; under single, public ownership; appealing to users; potentially available for lease; already vegetat- FORMER OPA -LOCKA WEST AIRPORT ed; and distant from incompatible land uses. `RECOMMENDATION CONTINGENT UPON Two other sites offer potential opportunities for permanent OHV facilities. The - aDDITIONAL DUE DILIGENCE. Lands East of the Homestead Speedway and the FRS Holdings sites, both located in south Miami -Dade County, share many physical characteristics with the preceding site, while having fewer environmental constraints, but are less suitable overall because of their ownership composition. Both are privately held and in the case of the East of Speedway lands, highly fragmented. The anticipated cost and coordination required to assemble a large enough site for an OHV facility may make these sites ultimately un- feasible. Because of these sites' recent inclusion in the study, their recommendations are contingent upon additional due diligence, including contacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. The last two sites being recommended for further action are Countyline Motocross Park and the former Opa -locka West Airport. Both are considered "near term" opportunities. Countyline Motocross Park is an existing site with immediate availability. A private vendor will continue to operate the existing motocross practice track on a month - to-month basis until the MDCPRD issues a Request for Proposals and selects a vendor to commit to a five -year contract. This report recom- mends that MDCPRD continue this process in order to facilitate a more permanent situation. The former Opa -locka West Airport site is both a near term and short term solution, due to the County Aviation Department's stated plans to dispose of 90 percent of the property for mining operations by the end of 2008. Unless the deal unexpectedly falls through, this will leave a very brief period for OHV use. This study recommends simultaneously pursuing two or more of the above - referenced sites to adequately serve the needs, preferences, and geographical dispersion of present and future users. It is advisable to work toward immediately securing at least one near -term opportunity, while at the same time pursuing one or more of the long -term sites. 20 BACKGROUND Off- highway vehicles are generally defined as motorized vehicles not registered or licensed for highway use. The term, however, encom- passes awidevariety of machines, including 4 -wheel drivejeeps, auto- mobiles, or sport utility vehicles; motorcycles designed for off - highway use; all- terrain vehicles, more widely known as ATVs; and other spe- cially- designed off -road motor vehicles used in a wide variety of ways. Users often combine the riding experience with other outdoor activi- ties. Such activities include hiking, camping, hunting, backpacking, photography, sightseeing, mountain biking, picnicking, swimming, fish- ing, boating, skiing, and bird watching. The ideal OHV facility accom- modates not only riding, but also a combination of these activities. Demand for OHV driving and riding has experienced a notable upsurge in the past few years. In 1960, when the first U. S. National Recre- ation Survey was done for the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission, off- highway motorized recreation was not even officially recognized as a recreational activity. In contrast, from 1982 to 2001, the number of participants over 12 years old grew by more than 100 Appendix V.D.5b.1 Ocala National Forest OHV trail percent (Cordell et al. 2004, p. 37). The next rounds of subsequent Photo source: MDG Park and Recreation Department National Survey on Recreation and the Environment (NSRE) revealed that the number of users continued to balloon between 1995 and 2000 from 27.3 to 36.0 million. Based on NSRE results from last season, nearly one in four Americans (23.8 percent) age 16 and older participated one or more times in OHV recreation within the past year. While the number of people participating has increased across all demographic groups, the majority of participants continue to be under 50, male, and white, and residents of urban areas. Interest is increasing especially rapidly among 30 to 50 years old female, Hispanic, and urban riders. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, nationwide OHV annual sales more than tripled between 1995 and 2003, to more than 1.1 million vehicles sold in 2003. ATVs, specifically addressed and defined by the 2002 Florida Statutes, continue to be the most common vehicle type purchased, accounting for more than 70 percent of the OHV market. The population of OHVs in the U.S. grew nearly as fast, increasing 174 percent between 1993 and 2003. In just ten years, the number of OHVs has grown from fewer than 3 million vehicles in 1993 to more than 8 million in 2003. Across Florida, there are approximately 1,781,000 OHV users, meaning that 14.2 percent (or one in every seven) of the State residents participates in the activity. Within over 5 percent of the state's title request since 2002 coming from Miami -Dade County alone, the State Division of Forestry has targeted South Florida as a critical area for devel- 21 Appendix V.D.5b.1 opment of OHV recreation areas. According to the DHSMV, over 25,000 vehicles have been registered in Miami -Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties since October 2002. Each year, the number of new riders increases. In 2003, 2004, and 2005, the number of newly registered vehicles was 5,350, 6,139, and 7,368, respectively. The data show that many individuals own multiple vehicles, lending support to feedback from local stakeholders that many South Florida OHV users ride as a family activity. According to an OHV Enthusiast Survey conducted at the Department's January 2007 Community Workshop, most us- ers live in the south and southwest areas of Miami -Dade County, although it may be noted that this is where the meeting was held. Local users have been riding seventeen years on average; they ride frequently —on average, once a week; and they go in large groups —on average, 13 people per outing. In recognition of the growing popularity of OHVs —ATVs and Off - Highway Motorcycles (OHMs), in particular —the Florida legislature signed The T. Mark Schmidt Off - Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act into law in 2002 to pro- mote the development of a statewide OHV recreational system. The intent of the law was "to create new opportunities for OHV users (specifically ATV and OHM users) while safeguarding the integrity of Florida's natural resources." The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Forestry is responsible for coordination between the planning, development and management of lands including those used for OHV riding. Funding is available for ATV trails through a DOF grant program. The funding, collected through the titling of ATVs, is used to fund feasibility studies, land acquisition grants, construction grants, and monitoring grants, to help develop more ATV areas for Florida residents. With money collected through the titling of OHVs, the State legislature allocated between $700,000 and $1 million in 2005 to the DOF for the T. Mark Schmidt grant program. 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 New Off - Highway Motorcycle ■ New ATV • Used Off - Highway Motorcycle • Used ATV 2003f2004 200V2005 2005 006 2006J2007 FIGURE 1: TITLES ISSUED FOR OHVS IN FLORIDA, BY TYPE, 2003 THROUGH 2007 Source: Division of Forestry 22 414 L Legend 49 to 559 560 to 1272 1273 to 2369 2370 to 4032 . 4033 to 5861 142 t 2 396 93 1 94 36 467 724 307 8 �r 242 83 3541151 138 121 `� 170 J �t 189 179 1242 84 c_ 622 3214 FIGURE 2: OFF - HIGHWAY VEHICLES TITLED, BY COUNTY, FROM JULY 2002 TO APRIL 2005 Source: Division of Forestry Hillsborough Broward Miami -Dade Palm Beach Z Appendix V.D.5b.1 1443 5593076 2 0 1502 - A n2 'I 9,500 9,000 9,500 10,000 10,500 11,000 FIGURE 3: FLORIDA COUNTIES WITH MOST OHV TITLES AS OF JUNE 30, 2007 Source: Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles 23 Appendix V.D.5b.1 n The Grant program has 5 categories, with the following maximum funding amounts to help local agencies to develop more OHV areas for Florida residents: • Planning, research, and design of new OHV recreation areas, trails, or facilities ($50,000) • Construction of new OHV recreation areas, trails, or facilities ($150,000) • Repair, maintenance, monitoring, rehabilitation, and protection of existing OHV areas, trails, or facilities ($75,000) • Rider education, safety, and training programs ($10,000) • Acquisition of lands to be included in the system ($200,000) The lack of facilities has led many South Florida OHV owners, sometimes unknowingly, to ride in unauthor- ized areas such as conservation lands or private property. According to sources at Miami -Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM), there has been ATV use in nearly all County owned natural areas in which access is not controlled. The South Dade Wetlands Acquisition Project is one of the most common areas of unauthorized use of ATVs —and consequently one of the most damaged —but there are others that are being used without permission, in particular: the West Biscayne Pineland, the Quail Roost Pineland, the Ludlam Pineland, and Tree Island Park. This situation prompted the MDCPRD to apply for a grant from the DOF in the category of Planning, Re- search, and Design of New OHV Recreation Areas, Trails, or Facilities, to identify and evaluate suitable areas throughout Miami -Dade County for the possible location of OHV recreational trails and facilities. Although the grant funding is geared toward ATVs and OHMs, Miami -Dade County is exploring providing facilities for an even wider range of vehicles in this study in order to respond to the full spectrum of demand. The grant agreement was executed in April 2006, with an expiration date of September 8, 2008. The County chose the consulting team of WRT to conduct the study. 24 W 7 ek A■' --.rJ,4i pi;m ul I a b F 16A K:I, ive, Ali qbj 16 Sit p3p L- d - '51LA ;A(j %-.j�jrmff 'rAM5 L� PEI 'AAA --vi, X Oar !rA MEN 'Ark r !,.,A IMNO!�V -'I r k: Ir R �;,eZVA �d IRI, P, u iii T 1 Appendix V.D.5b.1 FIGURE 5: EXAMPLES OF THE EFFECTS OF UNAUTHORIZED AND UNREGULATED OHV USAGE IN MIAMI -DADE COUNTY I%, Source.

PROCESS The approach to conducting this study consisted of a series of steps, and included extensive GIS -based analyses in the initial stages of the pro- cess to identify a range of potential site candidates. The criteria for deter- mining the feasibility of sites were established based on input received from stakeholder groups, including OHV enthusiasts and governmental agencies, as well as the expertise of the Consultant Team. Field visits were conducted of each site, in some cases more than once. Most im- portantly, the process involved significant interaction with the stakeholder groups, including the OHV community at large, through workshops, pre- sentations, surveys, round tables, and various othertypes of meetings. In all, eight meetings were held by the Feasibility Study team to solicit input and to review and corroborate information with the stakeholder groups. MCDPRD conducted additional one-on -one meetings and held briefings with local leaders. ASSEMBLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION WRT and the sub - consultants reviewed data on facility sizes and ameni- ties, development cost, and operations practices at comparable publicly owned OHV areas; researched legal issues related to operating OHV rec- reational facilities; gathered information about what kinds of activities are considered appropriate uses in OHV recreational areas; and reviewed planning and feasibility studies, plans, and other relevant documents about OHV areas around the country. Among other sources, the consultants reviewed reports and data from the MDCPRD, Planning and Zoning and Environmental Resources Man- agement Departments, the National Park Service, the Florida Division of Forestry, the National Recreation and Parks Association, the Everglades Coordinating Council, and several municipalities and counties around the nation that conducted OHV studies. In addition, the team reviewed past and current legislation including Chapter 317 Off - Highway Vehicle Titling, Chapter 261 Public Lands and Property Off - Highway Safety and Recre- ation, and Senate Bill 1672/House Bill 7079. Appendix V.D.5b.1 110C Ke 29 C 3C INVENTORY OF EXISTING FACILITIES PUBLIC FACILITIES There are currently eight public OHV facilities located within State and National Forests and Preserves in Florida. Four of them permit OHV enthusiasts to ride any time of the year and have no controls limiting the number of riders: Apalachicola National Forest, south of Tallahassee; Osceola National Forest, north of Lake City; Ocala National Forest, east of Ocala; and Croom Motorcycle Area within Wthlacoochee State Forest, near Brooksville. The national forests cover over one Appendix V.D 5,b 1 2002. The facility permits OHMs and ATVs. Entry into the park is limited during hunting season. The facil- ity located within Big Cypress National Preserve is one of the closest to Miami -Dade County. It permits up to 2,000 ATVs, ATCs, swamp buggies, and street legal 4x4s. Motorcycles and other two-wheeled vehicles are not permitted in the preserve's backcountry. There is a 60 -day preserve -wide closure to provide a restoration period for resources. million acres of land. The 2,600 acre, fenced, state - owned Croom Motorcycle Area permits ATVs and mo- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission torcycles to use its many miles of trails. The site is attractive to riders because it contains hardwood ham- mocks and scrub and, as a former phosphate mine, has significant variations in the terrain, which is atypical of the generally flat topography of Florida. The remaining facilities are open seasonally and have stricter limitations on the number of permitted riders. Tate's Hell Off - Highway Vehicle Trail System has over 150 miles of designated trails on existing forest roads and was the first OHV network developed under the T. Mark Schmidt OHV Safety and Recreation Act of PRIVATE FACILITIES (FWC) currently allows OHV use on some of its proper- ties on named and numbered roads during non -hunt- ing periods. The closest FWC properties open for OHV use are located approximately 55 miles from down- town Miami, in the southwest corner of Palm Beach County. These adjacent properties are known as the Holey Land and Rotenberger Wildlife Management Ar- eas (WMA), and cover over 92 square miles. Although OHVs are allowed, there is no signage that lets visitors know. None but the Big Cypress facility could be con- veniently reached for a day trip for a resident of Miami- Dade County. Generally, there are two types of private facilities. The closest facility outside of Miami -Dade County is Semi - first, outdoor motocross, is usually between 20 and 25 nole Tribe Motocross, located east of Fort Myers in the acres in size, has tracks between 1 and 1.5 miles in Everglades within the Big Cypress Indian Reservation. length, and is typically unlit.

The second type is supercross, which is more regularly used for competition and is generally smaller in size, between 10 to 20 acres.

Countyline Motocross Parr is the only private moto- cross facility in Miami -Dade County. A vendor has ne- gotiated a short -term lease of forty upland acres of the 640 acres in the northwest corner of Milton E. Thompson Park, a property owned by the State of Florida and managed by the County. The year -long agreement expired at the end of May 2007; the vendor will continue on a month -to -month basis until the MDCPRD issues a Request for Proposal and selects a vendor to commit to a five -year contract. The ven- dor will be required to install buffering to prevent riders from entering the environmentally sensitive areas. Because the remaining acreage of M.E. Thompson Park is covered by wetlands, future expansion of the Countyline FIGURE 6 . EXISTING OHV FA- CILITIES IN FLORIDA pp Iidi:.:'v`_D_ L_1 Motocross Park is not an option. While there may be a pos- sibility of adding a training area, there is minimal opportu- nity to expand the motocross track or increase parking. The vendor is in the process of installing utility poles and stadium lighting fixtures to allow nighttime operation of the track. The Miami -Dade County Aviation Department has entered into a short -term lease at the fomner Opa -locka West Airport with a vendor who operates a drag racing facility. Ultimately, the Aviation Department does not intend to renew the lease because of plans to sell the property for mining.

This Team worked together to meet with and gather information from stakeholder agencies and OHV enthusiasts. The Consultants and MDCPRD began gathering input at a quarterly meeting of the OHV Advisory Committee, a group under the direction of the DOF. Stakeholders from throughout the state attended, but because of the meeting's location, there was signify cant turnout from Miami -Dade, Broward, Collier and Lee Counties. Attendees represented public agen- cies such as DERM and SFWMD as well as private interests, such as ATV and motocross users and OHV dealers. Intergovernmental coordination was an integral part of the development of the Feasibility Study. WRT identi- fied all agencies that might have land available and suitable for OHV areas, or had concerns that would impact or influence sites proposed in the Feasibility Study. These groups included the South Florida Wa- ter Management District, Everglades National Park, Board of County Commissioners, National Park Ser- vice, Miami -Dade County Agricultural Extension, Mi- ami -Dade County Aviation Department, Miami -Dade County Police (Agricultural Patrol Unit), Miami -Dade County Solid Waste, DERM and its Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program, and the Agricul- tural Practices Study Advisory Board. The second gathering, hosted on July 12, 2006 by At the July 12, 2006 Stakeholders meeting, repre- the MDCPRD, was geared specifically toward gather- sentatives from DERM and SFWMD discussed some ing information from local enthusiasts. Users shared information about the areas in which they ride, where concentrations of users reside, and the challenges faced by OHV riders in Miami -Dade County. Users corroborated what the data suggest —in alignment with the national trend, there has been a substantial increase in both the sales and the popularity of ATVs in Florida in the last five years. Most active, local OHV users fall into one or more of three general cat- egories: • families seeking passive, group - oriented experi- ences on long, meandering paths in `natural' set- tings, • "mud riders," who enjoy wet terrain, often in the form of a mud pit • riders seeking more active, "challenge" rides, of- ten provided by very steeply sloped, bumpy ter- 32 of the challenges facing OHV facility site selection in terms of land management and protection of re- sources. The agencies expressed concern over two issues —the trampling of plants and the degradation of wetlands. These two agencies provided additional input about the potential of their landholdings as po- tential OHV sites on September 18, 2006. The Coun- ty Park and Recreation Department hosted an inter- agency meeting to gather information about potential sites for OHV trails within lands owned and main- tained by the South Florida Water Management Dis- trict. Other government agencies attended, including The Miami -Dade County Department of Environmen- tal Resource Management, the office of County Com- missioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz, and the State Division of Forestry.

"Most preferable" and "least preferable" categories were created to frame the anticipated array of circumstances encountered during the site selection process. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS • The site should have no sensitive environmental features, and have disturbance. It is least preferable for the site to be Environmentally Endangered Land (EEL), contain endangered species, have extensive wetlands, or contain contamina- tion. COST TO ACQUIRE • It is most preferable for the site to cost nothing either because the County already owns it or because the land could be donated to the County and least preferable for the site to need to be purchased. COST TO DEVELOP • It is most preferable to having existing amenities such as vegetation and variations in terrain and lack problems such as soil contamination in order to make the site less costly to develop. • At this stage, a feasibility study, the estimation is very approximate. Engineers were not consulted. OWNERSHIP • It is most preferable for a site to be owned by the County and least preferable for it to be privately -held and require pur- chase. ZONING • It is most preferable for a site to be zoned agricultural or industrial, or to have undetermined zoning (i.e., classified as "un- zoned"), and least preferable for them to be zoned residential or commercial. • Similar to the site itself, it is most preferable for the adjacent sites to be "unzoned" or zoned agricultural, or industrial, and least preferable for them to be residential or commercial. • If multiple sites are suitable for use as an OHV park, it is preferable that, relative to one another, they are distributed through- out the County. RECREATION FEATURES It is preferable for a site to be able to accommodate a wide variety of OHV recreation trails, for users of all OHV types, and all difficulty levels. 54 Appendix V.D.5b.1 APPEAL TO USERS • It is most preferable for a site to be perceived as exciting or interesting to users and least preferable for a site to not meet the users' perceived needs or compromise the users' sense of safety. EXISTING LAND USE • It is most preferable for a site to be vacant— whether it is agricultural, parkland, open space, or of a similar nature —and least preferable for it to be active commercial, industrial, and particularly residential. • To minimize the potential for use conflicts and incompatibilities, it is preferable forthe adjacent sites to be vacant— whether they are agricultural, parkland, open space, or of a similar nature —and least preferable for them to be active commercial, industrial, and particularly residential. '41 M • Because user needs and design vary so greatly, there is no one "ideal size" for an OHV facility. The assumption, how- ever, is that the larger the site, the better, in order to accommodate not only the trails themselves but also a variety of complementary facilities, and the possibility of expansion. TOPOGRAPHY AND NATURAL FEATURES • Within the context of southern Florida topography, it is most preferable for a site to have existing variations in terrain and existing vegetation and least preferable for a site to be flat and have no vegetation or only low -lying grasses. ACCESSIBILITY • It is most preferable for a site to be connected to an established road network and least preferable for it to be distant from the existing road network. • It is most preferable for a site to be adjacent to a major highway, and least preferable for a site to be far from major highways. UTILITIES • It is most preferable for the site to have existing connections, or easy access, to electricity, water, and sewer, and least preferable for the site to be in a location where utility connections do not exist and no connections are planned. • It is most preferable for a site to be available for opening of OHV recreation amenities within 1 -3 years, and least prefer- able for a site to be available on a long term basis, or have questionable availability. 35 SELECTION OFF- HIGHWAY VEHICLE TYPES Off - Highway Motorcycles (OHM) MX EnduroA/Voods[Frail Trials Dual -Sport All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) Sport Utility Four Wheel Drive Vehicles (4WD) Jeep SUV Tru ck Other Motorized Vehicles DERAT1ONS The Feasibility Study Team used the following vehicles types i and desired experiences as a frame of reference while searching for sites.

Parcels were differentiated based on vacancy status, size, and ownership. CRITERIA FOR ANALYSIS Vacancy Status. Vacancy status was based on the County Land Use Code value "81," which indicates a property with no current structure permitted by the County. This classification does not include conservation lands. Size. There is no `ideal" size for an OHV park. However, for purposes of evaluating the data, a benchmark of 200 acres was chosen as a minimum. At this stage of analysis, site size was evaluated on an individual basis, without consideration of the size of contiguous parcels. Six size categories were created around the benchmark figure . • 0 -150 acres • 150.1 -200 acs • 200.1 -400 acs FINDINGS GIS analysis identified four proper- ties meriting further investigation — the "Rocky Glades" area (a sizable conglomeration of formerly private parcels purchased by SFVWID as part of their L -31 North Canal project) and three privately owned properties in the southern part of the County.- SW 232nd Street and SW 217th Avenue (Area L); SW 360th Street and 217th Avenue (Area P); and Ingraham Highway and SW 217th Avenue (Area Q). The three privately owned, va- cant parcels are roughly 600 acres each. • 400.1 -600 acs • 600.1 -1000 acs • 1000+ acs Ownership. The tax assessor -based GIS data contained no explicit category denoting owner- ship. Therefore, parcels were allocated to the following categories based on mailing address information.- • County -owned Federal • State Municipal • So.FI.Water Man- Private agement District Dam& . a RY rs„:. r•,A a�•�1R�111a `. - -- --'• — f'.. i..l�_CF..I�.

The parcels around 168th and Krome were not evaluated further because the size did not meet site selection criteria. While the team did visit Amelia Earhart Park, it was eliminated from further consideration be- cause of the small size of available land - 10 acres —and because two major roads (Gratigny Parkway and Le Jeune Avenue) separate it from adjacent sites. However, the remaining sites did meet site selection criteria and were evaluated further. 41 L] �i Appendix V.D.5b.1 GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SITES Site data was gathered from the County GIS, County Tax Assessors office, officials from DERM and SFVVMD, property owners and managers, and enthusiasts. A "data table" was completed for each site (see Figure 5 for sample template) with the best available information, thereby producing a snapshot of each potential property and allowing the team to draw preliminary comparisons between sites. This step also included the first of two surveys administered to local riders during the feasibility study. The "user appeal survey" was distributed to the three general user groups in Miami -Dade County identified at earlier meetings: mud riders; family - oriented ATV riders; and "challenge" riders. Riders were asked to rank potential sites on the list at the time using criteria such as general appeal, size, and accessibility. The feedback from this survey was the source for the "user appeal' criterion in the potential site ranking matrix. After gathering data on each site, the team made site visits to get a more information on the properties that appeared to meet a significant number of the criteria established in an earlier step. The team checked infor- mation that could not be gathered from existing site data, aerial photos, and images alone. - - --- ­_ , • .

The team generated eleven categories by which to evalu- ate the sites. It is recognized that several of these variables overlap. For example, if a site contains wetlands, they will impact not only the site's environmental consideration score, but also the cost to develop, and perhaps existing land use, zoning, and ownership. The purpose of the ranking system is not to provide a definitive order from best to worst, but rather to generate a relative, quantifiable basis for comparison. The categories areas follows: • Size: based on acreage and/or adjacency to large, vacant parcels. • Ownership: based on status as available for lease or purchase and status as publicly and privately held • Existing Land Use: based on current use of the site and those surrounding it • Zoning: based on current County zoning classification of the site and those surrounding it • Environmental Consideration: based on the presence of wetlands (and basic understanding that wetlands vary in functional value), officially protected land or species, existing contamina- tion, reclamation needs, and existing disturbance. • Accessibility: based on access to external, paved roadways and proximity to a major road- way • Cost to Obtain: based on tax assessor's market value; if the land was not free to the County through existing lease, management, or ownership or donation, the average cost per acre was derived from market value. A "natural breaks" statistical method was used to assign sites as "low ", "moderate ", "high ", and "very high." • Cost to Develop: based on existing vegetation and topography, generally and unofficially estimated cost for reclamation, estimated cost for permitting and mitigation (e.g. wetlands), estimated cost to control access, if necessary • Recreation Features: based on the number of facilities that could be accommodated on the site (including a safety instruction and training area; motocross track, kids trail, trail system for off - highway motorcycles, trail system for ATVs, trail system for 4 -wheel drive vehicles, 4 -wheel drive challenge course, motorcycle trials area, and field center including restrooms, food and drink concessions, and shop parts, supplies, maintenance, and training video room) given the size and shape of the site and the variety of levels of difficulty, based on size, configuration, and existing topography. • Appeal to Users: based on user appeal survey distributed to mud riders, challenge riders, and family- oriented riders, sites were ranked as minimally appealing, moderately appealing, and extremely appealing. • Site Availability: based on information from landowners and government agencies. The first nine categories were subdivided into five point levels, with "1" being the least desirable and "5" being the most desirable. The tenth category, Appeal to Users, was subdivided into three point values, 1 for minimally appealing, 3 for moderately appealing, and 5 for extremely appealing. The last category, Site 44 Availability, was designed as a "bonus point." If the availability of a site was known to be a long term prospect it was assigned a -1. Conversely, if a site's availability was known to be near -term it was given a +1. If information about a site's availability was unknown, it was given 0 points. The point distribution for all of the categories was based on the criteria established during the step "Identify Site Selection Criteria ", feedback from users, land managers and landowners, and information gathered while as- sembling background information. Certain categories —size, environmental consideration, cost to acquire, and cost to develop —were deemed to have greater im- pact on the feasibility of a site and therefore were given "double weight." For instance, if a site was a level "S' for size because it was 600 acres or larger, 10 points were contributed toward the final score. Size was considered to be of elevated importance because, while there is no one ideal acreage for an OHV park, it was determined that, generally, the bigger the parcel, the greater likelihood of being able to offer a large array of OHV recreation features. Environmental consideration was double - weighted be- cause one of the objectives of the study is to balance the needs of OHV enthusiasts with the protection of natural resources. Cost to acquire was deemed to have greater importance because funding is limited and having to allocate fewer resources toward obtaining a site leaves more money to spend developing it. Lastly, cost to develop was double weighted because, again, funding is limited and a site with existing features, such as vegetation and varied topography, allows more money to be directed toward offering a greater number of recreational features. Sites were then ordered by total score, with the understanding that sites ranking within a few points of one another merited the same level of consideration. The matrix of criteria is on the following page. After each site was assigned a point value in each category, score totals for each site were added up. The sites were first ranked by each member of the team and then, after comparing notes from the individual evaluations, by the group as a whole. The results of the group evaluation are presented in Appendix 11 of this report. 46 RANKING MATRIX Appendix V.D.5b.1 1 2 Size less than 50 acres 50 -199 acres (Double Weight) Ownership privately owned - available for -purchase only privately owned- available for lease OR Mixed ownership and highly fragmented Existing Land Use existing use of site inappropriate for site is vacant or another use appropriate transition to OHV use for transition to OHV use but is adjacent to AND non - compatible uses site is adjacent to non - compatible uses (e.g. residential, environmentally sensitive lands Zoning site is zoned for residential site is zoned for retail or commercial OR site is zoned for agricultural and located outside UDB Environmental si a as signs scan amoun o we an s site has existing can amina ion a wou Consideration ANEVOR generate moderate to high reclamation (Double Weight) costs AND /OR OR endangered species wetlands present, but of secondary quality AND /OR according to DERM major contamination with very high reclamation costs Accessibility no pa ted access road to site paved access road to site AND AND greater than five miles from a major roadway greater than five miles from a major rnwilAMV Cost to Acquire avai a e or pure ase- ig es cos per avai a e or purchase-middle cos per acre (Double Weight) acre Cost to Develop very ig high (Double Weight) Recreation Features able to accommodate between 0 and 2 able to accommodate between 3 and 4 recreational features recreational features User Appeal minimally appealing Bonus Point: 1 point deducted from total ( -1) if site is known to be available only in the long -term Site Availability 0 points if timeframe for site availability is unknown 1 point added to total ( +1) if the site is known to be immediatP1V nunil2hiP nr m/niinhia in fhc n-f- Appendix V.D.5b.1 NOTE.

Based on these follow -up conversations, the MDCPRD identified three factors that are to be considered "show - stoppers." In other words, certain individual site characteristics were deemed to contradict the mission and values of the County and be so detrimental as to outweigh the sum of the other ranking criteria; if a site possesses one or more of these characteristics, it could no longer be considered a feasible option. Therefore, while a site may have been scored in the initial list, if it was previously obtained for conserva- tion or mitigation purposes (e.g. EEL land and/or a site dedicated for mitigation), absolutely unappealing to users, or a former County landfill site currently undergoing environmental remediation, that site was ultimately removed from consideration. SHOWSTOPPERS Site is: • Public land obtained for conseriation or mitigation (EEL site and/or site dedicated for mitigation) • Absolutely unappealing to users • A former landfill currently undergoing environmental r+emediation r-noio source: niTp:#arttues,art.com/ images /- ,Lictor-- aberdeen;Dirty -old -STOP- sign - Poster- C12220416.jpeg Athird meeting with enthusiasts, in a community workshop format, was held on January 24, 2007, at the John D. Campbell Agricultural Center in Homestead. The user groups provided additional input on the potential list of sites and reinforced their interest in particular locations. A second survey was distributed at this workshop. Meeting attendees, around 200, were asked to complete a survey about the vehicle types and desired experiences they would prefer to see accommodated at a Miami -Dade County OHV facility and basic demographic information about area riders. Most of the riders that attended the meet- ing and completed the survey are from the southwestern portion of the county. While the results indicate there has been a surge in popularity over the last several years, OHV riding is not new to the area —the average length of participation in the sport is seventeen years. Participation is frequent —about once per week —and often occurs in larger groups —the average is thirteen. Riders are overwhelming interested in ATVs, but also regularly ride trials and enduro/woods/trails bikes. They would like to see ATV trails at all levels, trials areas, and 4WD challenge courses, but also basic skills, safety, and youth training areas for less experienced riders. Overall, riders expressed a willingness to pay for entrance to an OHV facil- ity, but they were split about their preference for an annual or daily pass system.

At this meeting, in addition to the sites that were presented, representatives from DERM recommended looking into lands east of the Homestead -Miami Speedway and lands at SW 100th Street and Krome Avenue. And in the months following these two larger meetings, the feasibility study team held several "one -on -one" meetings with agencies and enthusiasts to verify the most current and available information. INCORPORATE FEEDBACK AND UPDATE INFORMATION Since the first draft of this document was presented for public review in December 2006, the feasibility study has been substantially revised to reflect changed and additional information pro- vided by stakeholders.

NEAR AND LONG TERM RECOMMENDATIONS 10 This Off - Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study is recommending that the following sites be investi- gated further: H Land surrounding TNT Airport U East of Speedway Lands T FRS Holdings D Countyline Motocross Park C Opa -locka West Airport {forme These recommendations are based on the results of the rank- ing exercise as well as additional, less quantifiable factors. This two- pronged approach was used in recognition that, while the rank- ing matrix provides a useful, fact - based comparison of the physical suitability of the sites, it was not designed to examine political as- pects of public decision making, shifts in the land market and other less tangible considerations. Con- sequently, some sites that initially scored highly in the matrix are not on the final list, while others which scored in the "middle -of- the - pack' are included. This compilation tries to account for the best bal- ance of factors that will expedite implementation of a solution —with the understanding that the plans, costs, and circumstances of today are subject to change. FIGURE 12: RECOMMENDED SITES lay 55 Lan T4orm SURROUNDING LAND Appendix V.D.5b.1 TNT AIRPORT SITE CHARACTERISTICS Although owned by Miami -Dade County, this property is located in Collier SIZE: 2,000 acres of a County, approximately 40 miles west of Miami on the north side of US 41 at 23,100 acres site the Miami - Dade /Collier County line. The existing access road to the airport is paved, meets current standards, supports traffic to the airport operations EXISTING Big Cypress Na- complex, and does not impact any residential areas. The property is ap- LAND USE: tional Preserve proximately 23,100 acres and contains wetlands. About 1,000 acres of the site (completely fenced off) is a training & transition airport (paved runway SURROUNDING Big Cypress; TNT and taxiway with a temporary building as an operations & maintenance office) LAND USES: Airport used primarily for "touch and go" approaches by private and military aircraft. The fenced -in airstrip, which is east and south of a paved access road from US 41, would be off - limits to any recreational use. The remainder of the property was intended to be used for anew com- mercial international airport that never was developed. There are a few (possibly several dozen) hunting `camp" sites scattered throughout the remaining property. The County has a management plan for the remaining property; it must be reviewed to identify any potential conflicts. The 20,000 acres ( +1 -) north of the fenced -in airstrip offer a much larger piece of property but pose the most challenges to developing an OHV trail system. The 2,000 acres ( +/ -) south and east of the fenced -in airstrip would be the most at- tractive area for an OHV trail system. It contains at least six man -made "lakes" created when fill material was excavated. Access to these mining sites was created by fill pad "roads" which remain to this day. This portion appears to be drier than the area north of the airstrip. Size Ownership Existing Land Use Zoning Environ. Consider. Accessi- I bility Costto Obtain Cost to I Develop Rec.

Noise, dust and light should not pose a significant issue for this site due to the lack of any significant nearby residential or commercial areas. • Thousands of acres included in the north portion of the property can serve as a buffer to the Big Cypress National Preserve. Canal 28 provides a buffer to the east. While there area few individual home sites and camp sites located to the south of the property, significant buffer area is available between the proposed trail system and the boundaries of the property. • The "lakes" and access "roads" could serve as the nucleus for an OHV trail system since they would provide elevated areas. There also is a network of established "trails" (one -lane tracks) that could be used to created loops to connect the pad areas of the "lakes" and access "roads ". These existing one -lane tracks must be used to create significant distance and variety to create a loop trail system. 56 Appendix V.D.5b.1 • This access road could be used to provide ingress to trailheads for an OHV trail system. • Electrical and water and sewer services have been provided to the airport complex, but would need to be extended to serve adjacent lands. Cons • Due to the remote location of the site, the cross - jurisdictional complications, and the abundance of wildlife, the pro- vision of emergency medical support is a big concern. It may require the presence of a full -time, on -site emergency medical professional. However, the property contains an active airport with runways and radio communication equipment that provides a ready -made site for helicopter transport to regional medical facilities. • The site is flat and much of the 23,100 acres may be subject to flooding during the wet season; Creating a trail system will require track hardening and elevation in places to allow the connecting trails to be used in wet seasons. This will require the inclusion of culverts and cross - drainage structures to allow water migration during the rainy seasons. Water flow considerations would have to be incorporated in the design. Without investing significant infrastructure costs, an OHV facility may only be able to operate for a portion of the year. • The majority of the property lies within Collier County. Under less- than - favorable traffic conditions it could be a 60 to 75 minute drive from some parts of Miami -Dade County. • While the property is outside of the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Protection and Restoration Area, there are other species that will pose serious health and environmental issues, including poisonous snakes, bear, wild boar, ot- ters, alligators, the hornbilled wood stork, and panthers. Continued communication with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be necessary. The permitting process will be intensive because of these species, the presence of wetlands, and the possibility of being partially within the Biscayne Aquifer. • There is a large population of deer, which attract hunters with firearms. Anecdotally, it has been reported that deer can jump fences over 10 feet high and gamesmen will cut through the fences to get to them. Due to wetness, aluminum fencing, which is expensive, would be necessary, but not guaranteed to be effective at separating OHV riders from hunters. Lcong Tc rm L 9 38 EAST OF SITE CHARACTERISTICS SIZE: 450 acres ± SPEEDWAY Appendix V.D.5b.1 LANDS During a review meeting of thefirst draft of this report, SFWMD and DERM suggested looking east of the Homestead Speed- way.

Comprising approximately 450 acres, these properties cant; agriculture are privately owned, subdivided into five to ten acres lots, lo- cated outside the Urban Development Boundary, and contain forested wetlands. Their adjacency to an existing, compatible, "noisy facility" makes the site an intrigu- ing potential candidate. DERM indicated that immediate action is critical because EEL has identified this spot as a medium -term "area of interest" for its South Dade Waterway Project.

Cons: • Forested wetlands require permits. • This land was farmed until the 1950s, which may necessitate remediation; it could have sig- nificant implications on the cost to develop. • These sites are listed for EEL purchase. How- ever, there are no current acquisition efforts. • The contiguous parcels are comprised of nearly fifty private landowners. Most of the parcels are approximately 10 acres. The overall cost to obtain may be higher due to fragmentation in ownership.

In light of the withdrawal of the Florida City Commons Development of Regional Impact application, there might be an opportunity to obtain a portion of the land for an OHV facility. Be- cause of this site's recent inclusion in the study, its recommenda- tions is contingent upon additional due diligence, including con- tacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. The parcels are outside the UDB (but within the municipal boundary for Florida City), and are currently a mix of agriculture, vacant, and rock min- ing.

As is evident from a comparison of the aerials in Figure 12, which was taken first, and Figure 11, much of this land has been filled in the recent past. If action is taken quickly, the current dirt movement may be coordinated with needs for an OHV park. • The property may be available. 60 Cons: • The cost of obtaining this site is likely to be very high. • The uncertain status of wetland permits (wet- land jurisdiction is variable over these tracts) could delay the process. • Potential obligations to complete mitigation partly underway may create discontinuity be- tween available parcels. • As former agricultural lands, the site may necessitate remediation, which could have significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop.

Thomp- son Park, which is located in the northwest corner of County on the east side of NW 177th Avenue (Krome) approximately two miles south of US Highway 27 (Okeechobee Road). Only 40 acres are suited to recreation activities due to environmental constraints. It is owned by the State of Florida (Trust- ees of the Internal Improvement Fund) and is managed by the MDCPRD. It was formerly developed as a campground, then redeveloped into an RV campground and subsequently closed over a decade ago. A campground of- ficelrest room facility building remains on the site but was partially destroyed by fire since the campground has been closed. A private vendor negotiated a short-term lease with the County to operate the motocross practice track on the site. The agreement expired at the end of May 2007; the vendor will continue on a month- to-month basis until the MDCPRD is- sues a Request for Proposal and selects a vendor to commit to a five -year contract. The track, known as Countyline Motocross Park, is designed for MX competition motorcycles. Primary use of the facility occurs on weekends. Increased buffering, fencing, and signage needs to be considered to improve protection of the adjacent wetlands from both legal and illegal activities. The vendor who wins the five year contract will be required to install buffering to prevent riders from entering the environmentally sensitive areas. As managers of the forty -acre property, the Park and Recre- ation Department is responsible for "policing" the site and ensuring that users of the site are restricted to areas in which they are permitted. The current use of the site for a MX track may be the most effective use of a 40 -acre site. However, it must be recog- nized that while a MX motorcycle track provides a needed place for a small segment of the Miami -Dade County OHV public to recreate, it does not offer a large enough area or a wide enough variety of OHV recreation experiences to satisfy the demand in Miami -Dade County.

This could create more room and opportunities for an improved configuration for the permitted OHV facilities. A small portion of the 40 acre upland portion of the site may be used as a kiosk and trailhead for the Krome Trail, a proposed greenway along the adjacent L -31 North Leveee. Cons • There are only 40 acres of usable uplands within the 640 -acre site and those upland acres are clustered near the entrance from Krome Avenue; only six percent of the total acreage can be utilized for OHV recreation. The 40 usable acres accom- modate a small Motocross (MX) track and provide a limited number of parking slots, but will not provide space for any non- competitive OHV activities such as recreational trail riding. • Regardless of whether there is an increase in Park attendance when the lights are installed, increased buffering and fenc- ing from the adjacent wetlands may be necessary. According the Miami -Dade County Solid Waste Department, which is responsible for a portion of the wetlands in M.E. Thompson Park as part of their mitigation commitments, it has had to re- peatedly repair damage to the vegetation caused by illegal OHV use. • The existing building on the site has been damaged by fire and vandalism and may be beyond repair. • Users indicated that while Countyline Motocross Park is working well as a motocross facility, the site is too small and per- haps too dry to accommodate additional OHV facilities. 63 Near Term OPA -LOCKA WEST SITE CHARACTERISTICS SIZE: 416 acres ExISTING vacant; decom- LAND USE: missioned airport SURROUNDING vacant, mining LAND USES: Appendix V.D.5b.1 (FORMER) This 416 -acre site is located in the northwest corner of Miami -Dade County on the east side of US Highway 27 (Okeechobee Road) at the intersection with Countyline Road. Access is from a major divided highway (US 27) and the site is located close to Florida's Turnpike. It is a decommissioned airport owned by Miami -Dade County. Adjacent land to the west is owned by SFWMD. Land to the east and south is currently being mined. It is necessary to explore Broward County's develop- ment plans for the property just north of the site; it may be part of the City of Miramar. There are two existing paved runways. The runway does not need to be maintained; it could be removed. The concrete jersey barriers on the runways would need to be removed if OHVs were to use this site. The County has entered into a short-term lease with a private vendor to operate a drag strip on one of the existing runways. The Aviation Department plans to cease the lease within eight months to one year. The County Aviation Department has announced plans to sell 90 percent of the property to a private mining company —the east edge will probably be sold separately for development of a commercial use. According to the Miami -Dade County Aviation Department, the time frame for rock mining is not absolutely certain, but they hope to complete the sale by the end of 2008. Because it is unknown which company will win the Department's Request for Quote and ultimately purchase the property, it is unknown whether the mining company will begin operations immediately or hold the site for a later time. If the latter occurs, there may be a possibility to negotiate a lease with the new owner until it is ready to mine. Size Ownership Existing Land Use Zoning Environ. Consider.

Cons • According to DERM, this property is in the C -9 wetland basin and any portion of the site not currently developed is ju- risdictional wetlands. A Class IV wetlands environmental assessment would be necessary and all applicable wetland 64 Appendix V.D.5b.1 regulations would need to be followed. In addition, DERM would require a formal letter of support for use of the property as an OHV facility from the Miami -Dade County Planning and Zoning Department. This process is likely to take at least nine months, the majority of the anticipated window of time before the Aviation Depart- ment sells the property. • Due to the uncertainty and the timeline for permitting, it is recommended that this site be viewed as no more than a short -term, interim option that could be used while developing one or more of the long term recommen- dations. t Wh 65 11 a 1 I Photo 3ourc� htlpllvvivvw;flickrcomlphoto zooIrI rgnP ?id= 6421�9r1� &�-i�e —I LA IV.

If adverse circumstances change, the Team recognizes a site may merit reevaluation; how- ever, in most cases, this is not likely in the foreseeable future. W 69 Appendix V.D.5b.1 AEROJET GENERAL (FORMER) The size and configuration of available area is not suited to developing a satisfactory OHV facility. Unless these conditions change, the site should not be given further consideration. The site known as AeroJet General (former), located one mile east of Everglades National Park and on SW 408th Street, was operational as a rocket booster plant from the 1960s until the 1980s and is currently owned by the SFWMD. Access to this site, which is approximately 10 miles west of US Highway 1, is from Ingraham Highway. The entire site is in excess of 24,000 acres; the portion described as the old factory site is approximately 1,300 acres. The area of- fered for potential OHV trail use (approximately 100 acres) includes the upland area of the old factory site only —the fill pads and entrance road associated with the former booster rocket assembly facilities— and is available for lease or purchase by Miami -Dade County. The remainder of the site is not available now or in the future because of its en- vironmental sensitivity. The wetlands are designated as critical habitat for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow and are legislatively protected from development. This site would offer a trail riding experience far from the urban areas of Miami -Dade County and close to the Ever- glades National Park. The existing remnant AeroJet buildings would provide a trail user with an opportunity to see a part of Florida's space history. Remodeling of existing buildings may also provide a concession facility or other trail - head feature. The remote location of this site would eliminate any potential OHVlresidential compatibility issues. Accommodating parking and traffic could pose a challenge; the two lane paved road connecting the entrance of the AeroJet site to the fill pads offered for OHV use can not be widened, torn up, or partially blocked because it is cradled by wetlands and it is used by nature enthusiasts for access to other portions of the site. Two facilities in particular at- tract recreational fisherman and bird watchers: Lucky Hammock, one of the most popular birding sites in the County, and an aquaculture center, which has several fishing piers. The design would have to take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park, which is within one mile. Everglades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent Parks' legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Again, proper buffering will be critical. Trails within the fill pad areas would require consideration (i.e. trail layout, buffers, fencing, etc.) of the adjacent wetland areas that are preserved as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Trail mileage would be limited by the shape of the parcel and the linear layout of the existing roads and other paved areas. The SF\AMD plans for the areas adjacent to this site would limit future expansion of OHV trails at this location. Based on feedback from the surveys and during community meetings, the user appeal of this site is high. However, it appears that a significant portion of those providing feedback based their rank of this site not on what SFWMD offered for OHV trails -100 acres of upland, fill pad —but rather use of the entire site, wetlands included. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of experiences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading. 70 Appendix V.D.5b.1 F7 71 Appendix V.D.5b.1 BEACON COUNTYLINE, LLC This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill, lack of appeal to users, and acquisition costs. This privately owned site in northwest Miami -Dade County was formerly used as a construction and demolition recycling and disposal landfill and has recently been considered for re- development as an industrial/office park and as a potential location for a new Florida Marlins stadium. The size and square layout of this site would allow a good trail design with multiple loops and long trail distances. The site is bordered by the Florida Turnpike and Interstate 75, therefore perimeter buffers between OHV uses and the roadways would not be required. Residential areas are located approximately 0.5 miles east of the site on the east side of Interstate 75. Access to this site is good since there is an interchange from Interstate 75 southeast of the site directly to NW 138th Street. The location would maximize the use of the site by Miami -Dade and Broward County residents. The potential development of this parcel as well as the unknown landfill capping (formal closing of the landfill) costs are likely to result in this site being too expensive as an OHV recreation facility. It is also unknown if the property is for sale; it may be unavailable. Coordination between Miami -Dade County and the City of Hialeah and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection would be required during the acquisition and design of this site. User feedback indicated hesitancy over this site because of its former use as a landfill and the resultant condition of the soil Photo source: Google Earth 72 FROG POND (1,;FWMD -15 ACRE FILL PAD) Due to small size and access issues, this site does not warrant further investigation at this time. This 15 acre site is located in southwest Miami -Dade County within a large (5000 acre ±) SFWMD restoration project. The property is long and narrow. This site is difficult to access by vehicle because there is no paved road. Access from the south and east is blocked by a canal, from the west by the Everglades National Park, and from thenorth via an unimproved north -south berm that requires high - clearance vehicles. Potential tres- pass issues exist with active agricultural uses immedi- ately to the east of the access berm and with National Park land along the western boundary of the property. However, this site should be considered as a potential site for OHV trails if adjacent lands are designated for access, trailheads, or OHV trails. Based on feedback from the surveys and during com- munity meetings, the user appeal of this site is high; it was noted appealing to a variety of types of riders and it is far from residential development. However, it ap- pears that a significant portion of those providing feed- back based their rank of this site not on what SFVVMD offered for OHV trails -15 acres of fill pad —but rather use of the entire site. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of expe- riences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading. Appendix V.D.5b.1 Photo source: Google Earth C 75 Appendix V.D.5b.1 HOMESTEAD GENERAL AIRPORT The portion of the site currently offered for W4 V use is too small to justify continued consideration of this site. This 700 -acre± property is located in southwest Miami -Dade County at SW 280th Street and SW 217th Avenue. It is owned by the County and operated by the Aviation Department. Since the majority of the property is utilized for airport operations, only a 20 acre parcel outside of the fenced in airport has been offered for an OHV park. The size of the site prevents it from further consideration as a stand -alone option. It may have use as a trailheadlaccess point to adjacent SFWMD land known as Rocky Glades (see Section III); however its potential is remote because the cost to restore or replace the bridge connecting the two sites is estimated to be prohibitive. There are several small parcels on the northern and western borders of the site which the Aviation Department has leased to agricultural operations, and these small parcels (as well as several small, adjacent privately -owned parcels) might be considered for small trailheads to access Rocky Glades. There are no adjacent residential areas. Access to these potential trailheads from SW 217th Avenue would be via an unimproved road (SW 280th Street) that would require upgrading. There is a closed bridge across the L -31 North canal that connects the site to Rocky Glades, but the cost to inspect and repair or replace the bridge to allow OHV -only or limited -load vehicular traffic is not known. Based on feedback from the surveys, the user appeal of this site is high. It was noted as great for all types of riders, especially "mudders." However, it appears that a significant portion of those providing feedback based their rank of this site not on what the Aviation Department offered for OHV trails -20 acres on the western portion of the site -but rather use of a larger, different portion. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of experiences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading.

Google Earth 74 Appendix V.D.5b.1 INDUSTRIAL LANDS IN THE LAKE BELT ROCK MINING AREA Due to ongoing legal challenges and significant environmental constraints, this site is not currently a viable candidate for an OHV facility. This 22,000 acre± collection of properties is owned by a few private corporations (including Rinker Materials, Titan Corporation and Vecellio & Grogan). It is located in northwest Miami -Dade County north of NW 25th Street, west of Florida's Turnpike and east of NW 157th Avenue. While the site is large, land is disturbed, and access is good, the limitations are overwhelming. DERM directed the Consultant team to the SFWMD website for information on the Lake Belt Plan Phase II, which influences the type and extent of activities that can occur in this unique area of Miami -Dade County. The website indicates that approximately 50 percent of the land within the Lake Belt Area is owned by the mining industry, 25 per- cent is owned by government agencies, and the remaining 25 percent is owned by non - mining private landowners. Although the Vision for the future of the Lake Belt includes a recreation component, it specifically refers to "opportuni- ties afforded by the wetlands and waterways," suggesting that passive recreational uses were those contemplated in the plan. The Northwest Wellfield is located at the eastern edge of the Lake Belt, and is the largest drinking water wellfield in the State, supplying some 40 percent of the potable water for Miami -Dade County. The Lake Belt Plan and the Northwest Wellfield Protection Plan preclude development activity and public access to the wellfield area, and impose limitations on the types of uses and extent of development to minimize potential impacts on drinking water supplies. Other potential limitations include the planned long -term use of the area as a water reservoir, as part of the Ever- glades Restoration Plan. A decision is pending on the Sierra Club v. Flowers lawsuit. The lawsuit jeopardizes the future of limestone mining in the area. A judge issued an opinion in 2006 that the government agencies had not properly followed procedures in evaluating and authorizing continued limestone mining operations in the Lake Belt. The permits in question are for the mines operating under the Lake Belt Plan. A decision against the mining operations may or may not benefit a potential OHV use in the area. Land acquisition, development, and mitigation costs could be substantial. The Pensucco Wetlands are located to the west, separated from the Lake Belt by an FPL easem ent. Accessibility and light /noise pollution would have to be minimized to protect this sensitive area from disturbance. DERM may be able to offer the MDCPRD slime sludge from the WASA well to use a source of base material for OHV trails. Based on the user appeal survey, riders of all types of OHVs were attracted to the size of the site and the potential range of activities that could be offered. The soil accommodates multiple types of riders, including mudders and dirtbike racers. • 75 Appendix V.D.5b.1 INGRAHAM HIGHWAY AND SW 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contanVnants and present agricultural use, this site is not being recom- mended for further consideration. This site, located north and south of Ingraham Highway in the southwest part of the County, consists of several contiguous parcels of property (approximately 150 acres per parcel) that, combined, total approximately 625 acres. Although located in a remote part of the county, the site is easily accessed directly from Ingraham High- way, approximately 6 miles west of US Highway 1. Currently, the property is used for agricultural purposes and located outside of the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). While this site would not be subject to Miami -Dade County's policy on "no net loss" of agricultural land, the MDCPRD strongly supports the spirit of the policy and not developing on farmland outside the UDB. The Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. The site would need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. Contaminants would have significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop. Since the site has been used for agricultural purposes, there is limited existing vegetation that could be used to design interesting OHV trails. Site planning would need to consider the creation of features on the site to make an enjoyable OHV experience (i.e. excavation of areas, creation of topography, planting, etc.). As a cost coun- terbalance, with use of design features like trail switchbacks, it may be possible to compress the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing acquisition costs. The site is contiguous to publicly owned lands (SFWMD) so the opportunity exists to extend trails offsite at a later date. However, a crossing of the C -111 canal would be necessary to connect this site with the adjacent former AeroJet site. The other adjacent land -uses include low- density residential areas and other agricultural uses and, therefore, no incompatibility issues have been identified at this site. The design would need to take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park. Everglades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent of the Park's legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Proper buffering would be critical. Round Hammock, a high quality water habitat in Miami -Dade County, is located on the southern portion of the site. It and the immediate adjacent land have been granted Natural Forest Community Protection, thereby restricting the maximum allowable development of this portion of the property to 20 percent. Mitigation require- ments would apply to any impacted areas of this portion of the site. 76 Appendix V.D.5b.1 Similar to the other privately -owned property identified in this report, the willingness of the owner to sell or lease the property is not known at this time; the property is not listed for sale and a search for the owner's contact information based on the property appraiser's database did not yield results. According to the User Appeal Survey, some riders were satisfied with the size of this site while others found it small. Gener- ally, however, they thought the size could accommodate several types of riders and is in "good condition." 77 Appendix V.D.5b.1 NW 58TH STREET LANDFILL (FORMER) This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill and strong lack of appeal to users. The County's Solid Waste Management Department owns this site located in the north half of the county and consist- ing of approximately 400 acres. The southern third of this site has been reserved for other recreation facilities (soccer fields) and other County department facilities. The north part of the site contains an environmentally protected area. The remaining area identified for potential OHV trail use is approximately 200 acres. There are paved roads leading to the site, making it accessible from either the Turnpike or the Palmetto Expressway via NW 58th Street. This former Superfund site underwent "enhanced closure" between 1991 and 1995. These additional safety mea- sures included drainage and stormwater controls. The entire site is covered with an interrelated stormwater system of ditches, swales, culverts, energy dissipaters, and stilling basins. The eastern fifth of the site, a large hill totaling approximately 80 acres, is covered by a PVC liner and has gas vents protruding at the surface level. Therefore, riding would be prohibited on this portion of the site; proper fencing or buffering would be necessary. Any changes to the stormwater management of the site would require approval from the State of Florida. The northern third of the western four fifths of the site is covered by wetlands, which serve as a stormwater mitigation basin and recharge area for the aquifer. The wetlands provide habitat fortwo protected species, wood storks and bald eagles, as well as for flamingos, ospreys, and alligators. 78 Appendix V.D.5b.1 The site's groundwater is tested at several locations. If gasoline were detected from OHV uses or otherwise, the County would be liable to install a remediation system. Currently, the surface water quality is good. Because the landfill was operated between 1952 and 1982 when there were fewer safety and environmental regulations, the Solid Waste Management Department is concerned about the presence of toxins in the soil. For example, the groundwater still contains high levels of ammonia. In addition to any ensuing health hazards, they are uneasy about having the potential of having two highly flammable substances, methane hydrogen sulfate produced bythe landfill and gasoline used by OHVs, intermingle. The Solid Waste Management Department used this site as a hur- ricane debris station following Hurricane Wlma in 2005. Because of the success of this staging area, Solid Waste Management is reluctant to endorse other uses of this site. The north, east, and west edges of the site are bordered by in- dustrial uses, therefore OHV recreation would be compatible with the neighbors. The area north of the County -owned landfill parcel is currently being mined and there may be an opportunity in the future to extend OHV trails farther north once the mining operation is complete. While the topography and location of this site adjacent to devel- oped areas seemingly creates the potential for a unique urban OHV riding experience, the regulations associated with the former Superfund site all but prohibit the interesting integration of these features. In addition, the lack of trees or other brush onsite would require designing artificial obstacles and/or substantial plantings to create OHV trails. In the User Appeal Survey, this site received a very negative re- sponse from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dryness of the site for mudding. This opinion was reiterated at the January 2007 community workshop. 79 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SOUTH DADE LANDFILL (FORMER) & CERTOSA HOLDINGS, LLC This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill and strong lack of appeal to users. This former landfill site (approximately 107 acres) is currently owned by Miami -Dade County (Public Works and Solid Waste Management Departments). The site is currently restricted from public access (fenced) and contains a stormwater management system, methane and leachate monitoring systems, and a grass -cov- ered cap over the former landfill area. The area used previously as a landfill is approximately 15 to 20 feet above the surrounding elevations. This site provides very good vehicular access from the existing road network. There is an existing turn- pike exit approximately 1.5 miles west of the site that connects to SW 248th Street (a paved roadway to the site). The closest residential area is approximately one mile from the site and the existing surrounding land uses would be consistent with OHV recreation use (i.e. agricultural and landfill uses are adjacent to the site). The site is outside the UDB; therefore, future compatibility issues would be minimal. There may be an opportunity to purchase additional property to the south and west in the future to expand the park or trail system. 80 Landfill closure requirements include a 30 -year moni- toring and maintenance procedure. Additional coordi- nation with the Solid Waste Management Department and the Florida Department of Environmental Protec- tion would be required to identify all issues related to using portions of a closed landfill for OHV trails. This may include changes to the FDEP permit, design of the trail to include an additional barrier between the bottom of the trail and the top of the landfill, and fenc- ing /barriers around existing monitoring or mainte- nance features within the landfill. Although this site would be closer than any other available legal OHV trail area adjacent to the County, the southern location of this site would require a drive across the County for residents in the northern part of the County. This site received a very negative response from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dry- ness of the site for mudding. Appendix V.D.5b.1 Photo source: Google Earth 81 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SOUTH HOMESTEAD LANDS These two sites are not candidates for further consideration because of their status as mitigation land or DERM-protected land. This site includes areas east of US1 and Card Sound Road and south of East Palm Drive in the southeast part of the County. This location contains existing trails and disturbed areas that have been used by enthusiasts and has been described as "The Hump" riding area. Within this general area, there appear to be two separate places that contain trails. Trail Area One is generally located northeast of where US1, Krome Avenue, and Card Sound Road converge. It has been used as a staging point for enthusiasts and con- tains privately owned lots ranging in size from 10 to 20 acres. Approximately 2.5 miles southeast of this location, there is another spot with a high concentration of existing trails. This second area contains several larger, contigu- ous lots (ranging in size from 76 acres to 144 acres) total- ing approximately 750 acres on which the existing trails are located. The two major landowners are 640 Homestead Co., LLC, and FRS Holdings, Inc. The land between these two areas is used for agricultural operations. Nearby roads are narrow, unpaved farm roads. The wetlands in this section are dominated by high quality sawgrass prairie that is dotted with native - dominated tree islands and scattered buttonwood stands. Although there is some melaleuca present, it is scattered and generally of low density, therefore the wetland function is considered to be very high. Obtaining wetland permits would likely be ac- companied by a large mitigation requirement. Eight of the parcels lie within the boundaries of the South Dade Wet- lands EEL Project, which was designated for acquisition in 1994 because of its environmental sensitivity. Acquisition of parcels by EEL is ongoing in this area and DERM has indicated that ATV riding is not considered a compatible recreational use for EEL sites. User appeal of this site was extremely high. OHV enthu- siasts, many of which are familiar with the location, terrain, and muddiness of the site, have deemed the South Home- stead Lands "great for all riders and all types of OHVs." 82 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SURFSIDE LANDFILL (FORMER) This site does not warrant further consideration due to the potential presence of hazardous substances and strong lack of appeal to users. This site is privately owned and contains approxi- mately 161 acres. A portion of the site (approximately 98 acres) was formerly used as a landfill. Based on DERM records, there may be ammonia and chlorinated solvents located at this site that may increase start -up costs (need to consider reclamation/clean-up costs and risks to OHV users). It is anticipated that some of the site may be developed as an auto auction facility in the future. The status and exact location of the former land- fill has not been determined. The site is located within the City of Miami Gardens in the northern part of the County and is easily accessible from the surrounding road network. The existing canal to the south and the Turnpike to the north provide good buffers from neighboring uses. There are residential ar- eas within approximately 200 feet of the south and east property lines that would need to be considered during site planning and design. An existing landfill located to the west would be compatible with OHV use. The site is currently restricted from public access by an 8' high chain link fence in good condition that would also pro- vide good containment of trails onsite. The topography and vegetation on the site would provide an enjoyable trail- riding experience for OHV enthusiasts and would offer ample opportunity for creative trails and destina- tion features. This site received a very negative response from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dry- ness of the site for mudding. 0 S Appendix V.D.5b.1 SIN 100TH STREET AND KROME AVENUE This site does not warrant additional consideration due to its likely high cost, its proximity to residen- tial development, adjacency to a Everglades Seepage Control structure, and current agricultural use. SW 100th Street and Krome is located in the southwest portion of the County, approaching the Everglades. This 412 acre property was recommended for analysis by representatives from DERM and the South Florida Water Management District. It is under single, private ownership and zoned agricultural. Its size and single -owner status is appealing. However, there are several factors that reduce its feasibility. Its market value (estimated by the property appraiser's office to be $26.7 million in 2006) is very high. It is bordered on the south by residential development. As an agricultural property located outside the UDB, it would probably generate opposition from the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board. And lastly, the Everglades National Park Seepage Management Project, which is ongoing, is planning to locate a levee which would run along the eastern border of the site —the most logical access point for an ©HV facility. 84 Appendix V.D.5b.1 VACANT LANDS NEAR DOLPHIN STADIUM This site is not recommended for further consideration because of the disconnectedness of the properties and the lack of appeal to users. Although originally listed as a potential site for OHV recreation several issues were identified that resulted in this site not being ranked in the final scoring matrix. OHV trails would not be compatible with the existing over- flow parking use during sporting events on the site. In addition, maintenance and design requirements may limit the ability to negotiate a suitable lease with the property owner. The user appeal of this collection of sites was very low. It was perceived to be unsafe for unattended vehicles and trailers, too small for multiple riders, and too dry for mud riders. However, the amount of trees makes the site good for scrambling and passive riding. 83 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 232ND STREET AND SW 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contaminants and present agricultural use, this site is not being recom- mended for further consideration. This 640 -acre parcel is privately owned land adjacent to the L -31 North canal and west of SW 217th Avenue (at the north end). Access to the site for an OHV facility would probably be via SW 232nd Street from Krome Avenue. Users found this site appealing because of its location, size, and ability to accommodate several types of riders, particularly mud riders. Currently, the property is used for agricultural purposes. The site will need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. This could have significant implications for cost. Although an OHV facility would not be subject to Miami -Dade County's "no net loss" policy, the MDCPRD would prefer to respect the spirit of the policy and not develop agricultural land outside the UDB. Also, the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. This property is not listed for sale or lease. However, the owner was confirmed to be owned by a willing seller by a MDCPRD staff who specializes in parkland acquisition. Independently of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study, the park- land acquisition department has been researching the property for potential purchase. There may be substantial competing interest in this property to either create additional residential homes or retain the existing agricultural use. Wi le DERM would not support residential on this property because of the site's proximity to a flood protection le- vee, the potential demand may still cause the market value (or estimated cost to obtain) of the property to become prohibitively high. With use of design features such as trail switchbacks, it maybe possible to compact the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing the cost to obtain. If buffered properly, the agencies see public use of the property as a better transition to the Everglades National Park than residential development. DERM and SFWM D view the existing buffers created by the roads to the north (SW 232nd Street), south (SW 248th Street) and west (SW 217th Avenue), and L -31 North Canal to the west as a plus, away to contain riders and keep them from trespassing on prohibited, environmentally sensitive areas. However, should the decision be made to pursue a connection to the publicly owned lands to the west of the L -31 North Canal (referred to as Rocky Glades and described in greater depth in section III.H of this report), several small, privately owned, parcels in agricultural use would need to be purchased or a suitable access easement obtained. Coordination with SFWMD and abridge crossing of the L -31 North canal would also be required for future expansion. The configuration and size of the property would allow for a variety of OHV recreation uses on the site. However, the lack of existing vegetation and natural terrain at this site would require additional design considerations. 86 Appendix V.D.5b.1 The traffic generated by an OHV park and its impact on the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east would require a traffic impact study and thoughtful design. Residential areas along the east and south edges of this property would need to be considered (noise buffers) during the site plan process for the OHV facility. According to the Miami -Dade County Police Agricultural Patrol, in other parts of the County there have been repeated reports of conflict between OHV riders and property owners in adjacent residential areas. Because this site is located directly west of residential develop- ment, the Agricultural Patrol called attention to the possibility that OHV use on this site will raise strong opposition from neighbors. E;O 87 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 364TH STREET AND 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contaminants and present agricultural use, this site is not being rec- ommended for further consideration. This site is comprised of several individual parcels of privately owned land under the same ownership. The total contiguous acreage with the same owner is ap- proximately 621 acres and the property abuts another privately owned property to the south that contains approximately 1,170 acres. There is a series of interconnected natural water fea- tures meandering throughout the property. These in- clude Loveland Hammock, which is managed by EEL, hook- shaped jurisdictional wetlands known as Love- land Slough, and a second smaller hammock on the eastern edge of the property. The slough divides the property into two pieces, raising design and engineer- ing questions with potentially costly answers: Can the slough be crossed by a bridge? If so, what is the cost of a bridge structurally sound enough to carry OHV traffic and long enough to clear sensitive lands? If not, would additional parcels need to be purchased to create a "connector trail" between the pieces? If bath sides of the property were developed, what types of buffers would be necessary to keep people from taking a shortcut through the slough to get between sides? While the complete answers to these questions are for a later stage in this process, they merit consider- ation during the feasibility phase. Should the site be chosen for further consideration, a full environmental assessment would be necessary to ensure the design of an OHV park on this site is environmentally sen- sitive and fully compliant with all associated regula- tions. In addition, the need for adequate fencing and as buffering should be taken into consideration as part of cost to develop projections. According to DERM of- ficials, portions of this property have been discussed in association with the CERP C -111 Spreader Canal flow -way reconstruction project; while there no imme- diate plans for this site, cooperation and communica- tion with related agencies is necessary. Similar to the other privately owned property identified in this study, this site is not listed for sale or lease and a search for the owner's contact information based on the property appraiser's database did not yield re- sults. Therefore the ability and cost to purchase the property is not known. This site configuration and size would allow a myriad of OHV recreational opportunities. Other than the aforementioned sensitive water features, there do not appear to be any significant on -site restraints that would limit development of an OHV park that includes a lengthy network of trails. With use of design fea- tures like trail switchbacks, it may be possible to com- pact the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing the cost to obtain. This property is currently used for agricultural purpos- es. Therefore, it is subject to Miami -Dade County's policy on "no net loss" of agricultural land. The Ag- ricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. Appendix V.D.5b.1 This has significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop. The site will need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. Surrounding uses are not ideal. Most of the property within 1,000 feet is agricultural and, according to the Miami - Dade Police Agricultural Patrol, the relationship between farmers and OHV users in Miami -Dade County has grown increasingly contentious as cases of crop vandalism have become more common. While this does not merit removal of this site from further consideration, the increased need for fencing and buffering between neighbors must be fac- tored into the cost to develop. Access to this area could be provided by one mile of paved roadway (SW 217th Avenue) from Ingraham Highway, but the design must take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park, which is within one mile. Everglades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent Parks' legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Again, proper buffering will be critical. Some of the users indicated that they thought this site was small. However, because they have referred to other sites of equal or less acreage as being big, there may have been confusion over the actual property in question. 89 C 90 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 8TH STREET AND KROME AVENUE This site is not currently for lease or sale, and is therefore not available for consideration for OHV use. This site was suggested by several of the attendees of the January 24th, 2007 Miami -Dade County OHV Trails Feasibility Study Public Workshop, as well as several prior stakeholder meetings. The agencies were aware this site has been historically popular with OHV users. Aerial photography showing OHV tracks throughout the properties corroborates this. DERM, SFUUMD, and the Miami -Dade County Agricul- tural Patrol agreed that the land acquisition challeng- es of this site would be immense. The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians owns a large number of parcels along the northern and eastern edges fronting the road, the southeast corner was recently platted with several hundred 50' by 100' lots, and many of the interior par- cels are used for mitigation purposes. Plus, this area may become a target of CERP's Bird Drive Recharge Project, which is seeking to establish an area adjacent to Krome and 8th Street for reservoirs to stockpile wa- ter and stop seepage out of the Everglades. In a conversation with representatives from the Mic- cosukee Tribe, the Miami -Dade County Park and Rec- reation Department reported there seems to be little receptiveness on the Tribe's part to the idea of sur- rendering land on these properties to OHV use, on the basis of environmental and liability issues. In addition, according to the Miami -Dade County Ag- ricultural Patrol, there have been repeated reports of conflict between OHV riders and property owners in the densely populated residential area to the east. The site contains a lot of Melaleuca, which is prone to catch fire and generate significant amounts of smoke. There have been several fires over the years, which the Agricultural Patrol suspects were the result of ar- son or tailpipe emissions from unauthorized OHV use mixing with the dry vegetation. Appendix V.D.5b.1 LANDS SURROUNDING HOMESTEAD AIR RESERVE BASE Due to the site's present agricultural use, it is not being recommended for further consideration. This "site" is loosely comprised of lands to the north and east of the Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), an area which contains several sizable parcels (up to 160 acres) under single ownership. Most of the properties are used for row -crop agriculture (e.g. Alger Farms -S of HARE; Barry M. Brandt Trust -SW and N of HARB), tree farming (e.g. Manuel Diaz farms N of HARB, and several smaller tree farm companies E of HARB), or mining (e.g. Singletary Concrete Products, which owns over 1,000 contiguous acres, mostly rock mining lakes). One to two miles west of HARB (S of SW 312th Street) is the north end of the FPL mitigation lands and some SFWMD land; much of this is part of the Acceler8 Water Plan, which would likely make it difficult or not possible to obtain fill permits. The property is within an area targeted by the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board for continued farming, and the Board has indicated that it would not be in favor of this site for OHV use. Appendix V.D.5b.1 LAND SOUTH OF EVERGLADES CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION Due to significant environmental, archaeological, and access factors, this site is not recom- mended for additional investigation at this time. The property, which is approximately 730 acres in total, is located west of Krome, east of the L -31 Canal, and just less than a mile south of SW 8th Street. It is comprised of two parcels. The first is 209 acres and owned by the Department of Justice (owned by the Army Corps of Engineers until June 2007); it has no direct access to Krome, but rather has ingress/egress via a narrow strip of land connecting it to the Everglades Correction Institution to the north. Throughout its history the property has been used for a variety of activities, including a processing center for illegal immigrants and alleged CIA operations and Nike missile site. Today, it has fallen into disrepair and appears to be used mostly for paintball and unauthorized graffiti -ing. The second parcel, which surrounds the former, totals 524 acres and is privately owned by La Primera International Corporation. Both properties are categorized as "unzoned." According to the DERM, Wetlands section, all of the 524, privately owned acres are "high quality" wetlands and, therefore, developing this site in any way would be extremely challenging. Not only is there a high like- lihood the Park and Recreation Department would be denied the necessary permits, the process would be subject to the approval of the Miami -Dade County Planning and Zoning Department, who would have to en- dorse an OHV facility on land currently designated as "open land /vacant." In addition to these obstacles, the site also contains archaeological "midden" or deposits such as shells, bones, and refuse that indicate human settlement, and environmentally valuable tree islands. 92 Appendix V.D.5b.1 93 Appendix V.D.5b.1 ROCKY GLADES (SFWMD- L -31 N. PROJECT AREA) This 5000 -acre± site is located on the western edge of Miami -Dade County, south of SW 168th Street and north of SW 288th Street. It is a long (7 to 7.5 miles) and narrow (between .25 miles wide in the south to 1 mile wide in the north) property bounded on the west by the Everglades National Park and on the east by the L -31 North Canal. Ac- cess on the north end is via SW 168th Street. Krome Avenue is approximately 4 miles away, and does not provide direct access to the site. "Rocky Glades" is a series of properties owned by SFWMD, purchased for an environmental engineering water conduction project, the components of which include two levees, several pump stations, impoundments, reservoirs, and the canal system. SFWMD rules do not permit the riding of OHVs on levees; as such, there is no access to the levees nor along the canals, which are currently protected by a K mile wide buffer of eight to ten foot tall grasses. SFWMD has indicated that, in consideration of its goals for water storage and the improvement of water quality at Rocky Glades and the construction timeline for the project, utilization of the property for either short -term or long- term ofl - highway vehicle use would not be appropriate. The District requested that the this site not be utilized for OHV use. The large size of the site and the existing vegetation offer the potential for an extensive, designated trail system in a non -urban setting. However, the site would present challenges in design, construction, operation and maintenance that would require unique solutions. In orderto protect sensitive areas and water management structures, facilities and agricultural operations, this site would require a substantial investment in trail marking, user education and on- the- ground enforcement presence. While there are very few residential parcels in the vicinity and a limited number of private in- holdings within the site, there would likely be competing interest in the land from the farmers who owned the property prior to the project. However, according to SFWMD, some of the land — particularly to the west near the reservoirs —is likely to be too wet to farm or ride year round. User appeal of this site was moderate to high. While it was only the 5th most popular site at the January 2007 public meeting, results from the surveys indicated that it was good for trails, wet enough for mudding, in a location accessible to all County residents, and has an appealing mix of vegetation. 94 Appendix V.D.5b.1 1� �r •��r �� rll t A �a#" "- � 1 gym.._. i r Photo source w q- an 0 Appendix V.D.5b.1 V. CONCLUSIONS The results of the Off Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study indicate that while there is no single, ideal site for an OHV facility in Miami -Dade County, there are several that merit further investigation (See Appendix for complete rankings results). It is highly recommended that the County pursue these options simultaneously, rather than one at a time. Due to the changing nature of conditions, there is no definitive order of suitability. However, Land Surrounding TNT Airport appears to offer the greatest opportunity for long term development of multi - purpose OHV facilities. FRS Holdings and Land East of the Speedway also offer a possibility for a long term solution, however the time and money associated with the assembly of private parcels may prove to be prohibitive. The Countyline Motocross Park in Milton E. Thompson Park is well suited for the conditions of the site and provides a location where a small portion of the OHV public— motocross users— can recreate. Therefore, it is recommended to continue the current operation, while recognizing that this motocross motorcycle track alone does not offer a large enough area or a wide enough variety of OHV recreation experiences to satisfy the demand in Miami -Dade County. Based on its current popularity as a practice motocross track, and future potential as a MX competition track with lighting for evening events, the Park and Recreation Department should continue to pursue approval from the State to issue a RFP for eligible vendors. The RFP process will allow the Park and Recreation Department to enter into a long term, formal agreement with a private vendor to operate the site, and increase the likelihood of making this facility a permanent fixture. Acknowledging the intent to conduct future mining operations, the Opa -locka West Airport site will likely serve, at best, as an interim solution. However, if the plans for mining do not come to fruition or an agreement can be reached that allows both uses on the site, this facility could have long term possibilities. NEXT STEPS After review by the MDCPRD and stakeholder agencies, the recommendations in this report were presented to the public at large at a meeting on July 18, 2007. Subsequently, the MDCPRD will brief the Board of County Commissioners on the results of the study, and request support to pursue grant funding through the State Di- vision of Forestry and the State DEP Office of Greenways and Trails for acquisition, design, and construction through upcoming grant cycles. The MDCPRD is in the process of establishing a strategy for pursuing two or more OHV recreation sites simultaneously. In the interim, the MDCPRD will continue to carry forward its intent to issue an RFP to select a private operator for the Countyline Motocross Park on a five -year lease. 99 zoom 9t`t' = X39897879 &size =0 APPENDIX: I PROJECT TEAM Funded by a grant from DOE WRT and its sub - consultants, Jack Terrell of the National Off - Highway Vehicle Conservation Commission, and Scott Lamb P.E. of Lamb and Associates, have been working on this feasibility study with the MD- CPRD since April 2006. WRT is a widely recognized planning and design firm with a long -time presence in, and in -depth familiarity of, Miami -Dade County. WRT has built a nationwide reputation for its planning and design of parks of all types and scales. Princi- pal Gerald Marston, FASLA, and Associate Silvia E. Vargas, AICP, LEED.PD AP, served as the team leaders and project managers; Project Planner Lindsey With- row, LEEDE)AR conducted the site suitability analysis. These professionals also brought to the team their vast experience in conducting public participation and consensus - building processes. Jack Terrell served as the team's OHV expert. As Project Coordinator for the NO- HVCC, Mr. Terrell has been responsible for planning, and conducting Off-High- way Vehicle Recreation Management workshops for national, state and local land managers and landowners, and Association Development workshops for OHV enthusiasts and other recreation stakeholders. For the past six years, Mr. Ter- rell has been the Chair of the Florida OHV Advisory Committee, and previously served in a variety of committees and organizations dedicated to the advance- ment of responsible OHV recreation. Mr. Terrell has been a trail rider and cross country motorcycle competitor since 1960. Scott Lamb, P.E., of Lamb and Associates Inc., served as the study's civil and environmental engineering consultant. In addition to his professional credentials, Mr. Lamb brings to the team the experience of his long -time involvement in OHV activities, including but not limited to the NOHVCC (Florida State Representative); Florida Trail Riders (12 year member /racer); and American Motorcyclist Associa- tion (12 year member). Mr. Lamb also constructed and marked hare scramble and enduro trails (e.g. annual Croom, Richloam, and Daytona enduros and FTR Benefit Hare Scramble). The Consultant Team worked closelywith, and underthe direct supervision of the MDCPRD's Assistant Director for Planning and Development, Barbara Falsey, Chief of the Planning and Research Division, Maria Nardi, Park System Plan- ning Section Supervisor, Mark Heinicke, Park Planner 3, and James A. McCall, Park Planner 2/Project Manager. Prior to hiring the consultants, the Department conducted a preliminary background study on OHV parks throughout the Country, with an emphasis on the riding situation in Florida.

The Resolution supports the development of the Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department's effort to create a recreation area, inclusive of Off - Highway Vehicle use, at the Transition and Training Jetport (TNT Airport) site located in Dade and Collier Counties. The Resolution is evidence of Collier County Parks and Recreation desire to work closely with Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department to achieve Collier County goals and objectives related to increased locations to enjoy this recreational pursuit. As you're aware, Collier County has actively been in search of suitable park land to offer recreational and OHV activities. In 2003, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Collier County entered into an agreement to provide 640 acres for all terrain vehicles (OHV) activity and later amended the agreement in 2007 to provide a temporary site for OHV's along with a permanent site at Lake Trafford. While we have carefully investigated a number of other Conservation designated lands in Collier and Hendry Counties, it appears that TNT has great potential to meet permitting requirements and establish itself as a premium off road destination for Dade and Collier citizens alike. If you need further information or have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (239) 252 -4035 Sincerely, s Barry ham , Director Collier ounty Parks and Recreation Naples, Florida 34 )k09 Appendix V.D.5b.2 APPENDIX V.D.5b.2A COLLIER COUNTY OFF - HIGHWAY VEHICLE FEASIBILITY STUDY Pkv, Coaoacct d- Disewer Off- Highway Vehicle Feasibility Study For Inclusion within Collier County Growth Management Plan Petition CP- 2009 -01 Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 1 of 14 December 29, 2009 Collier County Off - Highway Vehicle Feasibility Study Introduction Collier County has a permanent population of 292,932 as of 2008 (University of Florida, BEBR Estimate). Its residents are spread across approximately 2,305 square miles, of which 2,025 square miles are upland areas that include substantial County, State and Federal lands within protected parks. Like other Florida Counties, its residents engage in a variety of recreational opportunities in those same protected parks. Included among these activities is Off - Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail riding. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) tracks the number of newly titled OHVs in the state. Between 2002 and 2008, they have registered an increase of 5,560 new vehicles registered within Collier County alone (Exhibit 1). Although Collier County has one tenth the population of larger and denser counties like Miami -Dade and Broward, it has registered almost 50% as many new riders in the last few years as its larger neighbors. Exhibit 1 Florida Registered New OHV Vehicles 2002 -2008 County Title Activity 6/30/02 - 2 2� f311 o8 TITLE TRANSACTIONS FOR OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 2 of 14 December 29, 2009 The DHSMV also tracks the location of resident riders. Exhibit 2 shows that the over 12,000 registered OHVs within the County are uniformly spread throughout the developed area. While the demand for OHV trail riding is growing, the locations where riders can freely access these open spaces and trails remains low. Exhibit 3 shows that there are only a limited number of places within the State of Florida for OHV trail use. The State lists only nine (9) publicly owned OHV facilities and only one, Big Cypress National Preserve, is within Collier County. Big Cypress National Preserve allows a maximum of only 2,000 annual permits to access the Preserve at any one time. As evidence of the increasing demand for trail access, the National Preserve is presently undergoing public review to add over 75,000 acres of newly acquired land for OHV trail use. Two other sites, the Holey Land and John Corbett WMAs, are near Collier County but allow OHVs for hunting use only. The remaining public facilities are located in more distant northern areas of the State. The State lists an additional twenty -two (22) private facilities, with the majority located over 150 miles north of Collier County. Two (2) facilities are located in adjacent Miami -Dade County, but these facilities cater more to specialized motocross and drag racing vehicles than traditional three- and four- wheeled OHVs. Many private facilities do not offer recreational trails that are easily enjoyed by traditional OHV trail riders. The result is a current State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan that recognizes that Collier County is among the more deficient areas in South Florida for motorized trail riding.

This is in part due to the elimination of the Picayune Strand area of Collier County in 2002 as a location able to support OHV use. Once it was acquired by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in order to facilitate the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP), it was not available for public OHV use. As part of its acquisition and closure, a 2003 agreement between Collier County and SFWMD provided that the District would endeavor to find replacement lands in and around Collier County. According to a Supplemental Agreement signed by the respective boards of Collier County and SFWMD, the District was tasked with identifying a temporary site for OHV enthusiasts prior to a permanent site being developed at Lake Trafford. The Supplemental Agreement was crafted to further define responsibilities of SFWMD to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners from a 2003 agreement between the two governmental entities. Along with certain input from Collier County staff, several sites in and around Collier County were identified for consideration in meeting the original obligation of 640 acres of land for OHV use. The following sites have been presented by SFWMD, but no other site than the Lake Trafford site has been identified to fulfill this commitment. The following pages describe six sites identified and evaluated by Collier County staff in order to fulfill the commitment from the Collier Board of County Commissioners (Map 1). A seventh site is mentioned as well, but is located in Charlotte County, well north of the Naples area. Each site's location, acreage, characteristics, opportunities and constraints, and potential for development as an OHV recreational trail area are described. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 4 of 14 December 29, 2009 Map 1 Proposed ORV Park Sites Collier County Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 5 of 14 December 29, 2009 Areal: Hendry CQuply Site This parcel is located near the southwest corner of Hendry County, a half -mile north of Immokalee Road, and five miles west of Highway 29. A non - profit religious organization owns the site, and at onetime identified it for sale. SFWMD expressed interest in the property and the non - profit took it off the market. The non -profit organization plans to continue to utilize the site for rock mining, as a means of revenue. Aerial 1 Hendry County Site Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 6 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 2: Temporary AT V Site on Northern County Boundary The 1,291 acre site was initially identified as a temporary site in the attempted 2007 Supplemental Agreement. It is located on the north end of Collier County, 3 miles southwest of Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest; and is composed of a 885 -acre parcel privately owned by Alico Land Development Corporation and a 406 -acre parcel publicly owned by the State of Florida. The private parcel was proposed as a lease site to SFWMD for operation of an OHV park. Aerial 2 Temporary ATV Site As part of due diligence, there were certain environmental concerns regarding the presence of the Crested Cara Cara (Polyborus planeus audubonii), an endangered native bird species found to be located on the property. During later discussions, the time involved in mitigating the environmental concerns, along with meeting zoning requirements to operate this location as an OHV site exceeded the timeframe allotted by the lease. The site was ultimately determined not to be a viable candidate for an OHV park. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 7 of 14 December 29, 2009 11 Area 3: Lake Trafford Site This approximate 625 -acre site is located northeast of Lake Trafford, in the northwest corner of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area (Aerial 3). It is an approximate 30 -45 minute drive for most Lee and Collier County residents. The site is designated Low Residential Subdistrict in the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The proposed use of this site for OHVs was publicly discussed in a number of venues. Aerial Lake Trafford Site The site was filled in 2005 and 2006 with dredge spoils removed from the bottom of Lake Trafford. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is the current owner. The 2007 amended agreement providing that Collier County could become the owner of the site for future use as an OHV park. On September 27, 2005, however, the County rejected this site after soil tests showed that the Lake Trafford dredge material placed on the site is contaminated and the site may not be economically feasible for the intended OHV use. The temporary Lake Trafford site identified in the attempted 2007 agreement was abandoned after environmental concerns were raised with the Collier County Environmental Advisory Council. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 8 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 4: Oil Well Road Site A 654 -acre site located a half -mile west of Oil Well Road, on the north side of County Road 858, is privately owned by Winchester Lakes Corporation The site lies adjacent to neighboring developments, and although the size, configuration and condition of the property would support OHV use, the site was not pursued since the cost associated with purchasing the property greatly exceeded expectations. Aerial 4 Oil Well Road Site Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 9 of 14 December 29, 2009 H Area 5: I -75 /Highway 29 Site A 3,066 -acre site located near the southwest corner of the junction of Interstate 75 and Highway 29 is fully owned by the State of Florida and assigned for Park and Recreation and Transportation purposes. Its location, configuration and proximity to the existing State and National Park properties makes it a viable candidate. However, State agencies have not been open to allocating this high value property for the purposes of OHV trail use, particularly since it is very close to the Big Cypress National Preserve expansion area. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Aerial 5 I -75 Site Page 10 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 6: Dade /Collier County Airport In the late 1960's, Miami -Dade County, along with other South Florida counties, sought to build a Jetport capable of serving the area. Through federal assistance, approximately 24,000 acres was acquired for the construction of a supersonic runway and related infrastructure. By the mid- 1970's, a two -mile lone runway had been constructed, but the project faltered and was abandoned as a major airport. Through 2009, the property was managed as an ancillary takeoff and landing airport, and will continue to operate, with no plans for expansion of facilities. Aerial 6 Dade /Collier County Airport Over the years, the majority of undeveloped land surrounding the runway has been used by area sportsmen riding in off -road vehicles to access hunting and fishing locations. In 2009, Miami -Dade County proposed using the southernmost 1,600 acres to support a wilderness park that would include formally developed OHV trails. In furtherance of this proposal, Miami -Dade County filed a Growth Management Plan Amendment (CP- 2009 -01) to seek authorization to convert the site's use from aviation to park and recreation. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 11 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 7: Redneck Yacht Club This 800 -acre privately -owned site is located at 44570 Bermont Road, three miles east of County Road 31 and east of Punta Gorda, Florida. A former agricultural plot, it was opened for public use on weekends since January 2009 as an ATV park. In addition to ATVs, OHVs, swamp buggies, and 4 -wheel drive vehicles, this site also accommodates hundreds of tents, campers, and recreational vehicles. Newspaper reports indicate that trails, mudding, camping, riding areas and events at the site draw as much as 15,000 guests during holiday weekends. The absence of many sensitive natural areas permits the site to be fully used by visiting vehicles. The relatively high admission cost of $301day and up, and the 60- to 90- minute driving time to the site for Naples area residents make this site an impractical solution.

After eliminating sites whose size, location, ownership, cost to acquire and ability to develop were not favorable to Collier County, only the site south of the Dade - Collier County Airport evidenced any advantages. Until the County and District are able to identify and allocate a suitably sized and located property, this is the preferred off-highway vehicle site for Naples area residents. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 14 of 14 December 29, 2009 APPENDIX V.D.5b.3 F.S. 260.03, DEFINITION OF OHV Ud Appendix V.D.5b.3 Definition of OHV Section 261.03 Definitions (partial) (1) "Advisory committee" means the Off - Highway Vehicle Recreation Advisory Committee created by s. 261.04.

Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 3 of 3 Appendix V.D.5b.3 APPENDIX V.D.5b.4 PRIOR SITE CONDITIONS Dade- Collier Cypress Recreation Area County Petition No. CP- 2009 -01 Appendix V.D.5b.4 — Prior Site Conditions Prior to the late 1920s, there was little to no disturbance in the area of the site, due to its swampy characteristics and isolation from developed areas at the time. The dredging of Tamiami Canal and construction of U.S. Highway 41 ( Tamiami Trail) from 1926 -29 were the first impacts to the area. A series of aerial photos on the following pages shows how human impacts have caused disturbance to the site, making it an anomaly when compared with properties in the surrounding area. Since 1940 or before, this property has been traversed by off -road motorized vehicles for purposes of hunting, fishing, and camping. The 1940 USGS aerial map shows the early swamp buggy trails heading north from U.S. 41 through the site and continuing several miles in a northeasterly direction. Major impacts were made to the 1,600 -acre subject site between 1968 and 1971, with the construction of the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport runway to the north. The 1969 aerial orthophoto shows the series of large north -south lakes created for purposes of making the runway. The limestone substrate was blasted with dynamite and removed for fill, creating deep lakes with surrounding fill pads and lime- hardened maintenance roadways. The 1969 -1971 aerials show not only the developing airport runway infrastructure, but also an increasingly larger footprint of recreational trail structure created by swamp buggies as the site became more easily accessible by the public. From the 1970s through the 2000s, the aerial images show that the network of recreational trails remains, as the site is regularly traversed by motorized vehicles for recreation. The 1,600 -acre site differs greatly from surrounding properties due to its past disturbance. The property has historically, and continues to support off - highway vehicle use, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, and camping.

South Florida (Region 11) Coastal Counties: Broward, Dade, and Monroe Non - Coastal Counties: none Located on the southernmost tip of the Florida peninsula, South Florida encompasses more than 4,200 square miles. The region borders the Florida Straits on the south, the Gulf of Mexico, Glades and Hendry Counties on the west, Palm Beach County on the north, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. Primary urban centers are Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah, Key West, and Miami. South Florida's warm climate is subtropical marine in Broward and Dade Counties, and tropical marine in Monroe County. Most rainfall occurs from May through early October. Outdoor Recreation Resources South Florida has an abundance of natural resources. The Everglades and the Florida Keys provide South Florida with a rich diversity of plant and animal life within its low coastal topography. In addition, the Atlantic Ocean and its sandy beaches, numerous bays, coastal marshes, marine sanctuaries, Florida Bay and Florida Keys offer excellent opportunities for camping, hiking, swimming, bicycling, fishing, boating and saltwater beach activities. Table 5.21 shows the South Florida region's outdoor recreation resources by provider. South Florida's abundant marine resources, which include the Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuaries, and the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, provide world - famous opportunities for nature study, fishing, boating, and swimming. The Great White Heron, Key West and Key Deer National Wildlife Refuges offer a combination of land and water -based opportunities, especially for nature study, fishing and boating. South Florida's diverse cultural and historical resources are unlike any other region in the state. There are many recognizable structures and sites, which include Indian mounds, Miami's Freedom Tower, Fort Zachary Taylor, the Barnacle, and Cape Florida Lighthouse. Outdoor Recreation Participation Table 5.22 indicates a regional need for resources and facilities to meet demand for hiking, swimming, bicycle riding, non -boat freshwater fishing, fresh and saltwater beach activities, and camping now through 2010. No other activity is projected to exceed supply through 2010. Currently, saltwater beach activities, bicycle riding, and picnicking are the most popular resource -based activities, while pools and golf courses attract the most user - oriented activity.

Thanks again for participating in the meeting with the Div. of Forestry in June. Your statistics and explanations of the effects of ATV use on agricultural lands were very convincing of our need for a legal ATV /OHV riding area. The Park and Recreation Department has decided to apply for a planningtteasibiiity study grant. The Department could potentially get granted up to $75,000 to conduct a county -wide she selection/teasibi t iland compatibility study for ATV and OHV use. The grant is due in mid- October, and we hear a decision on the grant in November or December of 2005. Assuming we get the grant, a potential feasibility study would likely be finished by late 2006, or early-to-mid 2007. I will stay in contact with you about this project. Please contact me with any questions.

As a Native Floridian and a 25 year resident of Miami -Dade County, my love for our great state is DYING. one of the biggest problems is the amount of construction that has been going on in Florida. The cost of living and the opportunity to OWN your own home is just gone thru the roof. SOMETHING HAS To BE DONE. My main reason for writing ALL Of you in this FIRST OF MANY letters to come, is I and my fellow off - Highway vehicle (ali- terrain vehicles) riders, NEED YOUR HELP Nowt!1 see in Miami -Dade we can legally buy ATV'showever there is not legal area to ride. see m self and fellow riders enjoy spending time in the outdoors with our families and friends. Many of our riders bring their kids to enjoy this SAFE activity and give them the chance to enjoy what outdoors Miami -Dade has left. we understand that there are groups of sAD people who mess everything up for everyone, such people like the ones who steal machines, speed is not streets and run from the police. However this is as always a select FEW.... This s not ALL riders as you and most people "stereotype." we need to work together as citizens and goverrmsent officials, after all you are citizens as well. don't you enjoy the outdoors and our great state? see recently in the past year we have been taking more heat from the police for riding and enjoying `our" state. In Homestead for many years kids and families of all ages have been riding in area known as the HUMP. Recently we have been told that we will be arrested and charged with a Felony for riding in this area. so what I see happening is one of three things: 1.) You end up having hundreds of citizens from as young as 4 to as old as 65, arrested and charged with a felony. Page 1 v.D.5b.7 Marc Lane - response ATV Riders NEED YOUR HELP.txt 2.) You have people breaking more laws and causing bigger problems. 3.) we work together and find a place for us to ride in Miami -Dade and enjoy the out doors. I was told that Miami -,Dade Parks was given agrant for 75,000 to find a place for i oRv use. where is this money and what point s the process at? where are the public postings about this money and what's been done? The BENEFITS of establishing a riding area for public use of ATV's are endless. it will provide the sport being legally practiced along with: - conforming to state Vehicle and Traffic taw Environmental Conservation • Impacts on natural and agricultural resources Public safety as well as safety of riders • will deter illegal off -road ATV use - Police man hours and court funds will be reduced - Revenue collected for use can be great for the state - Teenage crime static's will be reduced - homeowner complaints will decrease significantly - Promotes outdoor family activities Florida's off - highway vehicle laws and rules Section 316.2074 are intended to promote safety and protection for people, property and the environment but how can we exercise this legal right if we have No riding area designated without the risk of receiving a citation, arrest and /or even impound of our All- Terrain vehicle. This Friday April 14th 2006 at 3:00pm EST. Local Miami -Dade ATV riding Citizens will be joining together on Bird Rd and sw 162ave to talk with the news about the loss of all the riding areas. X ask each and everyone of you to PLEASE attend this Peaceful rally to hear what we have to say. Governor Bush your presence in Miami -Dade County is needed as well.

This is some basic information, sou by an ATV rider, about the issue at stand. It mentions the S75,OQd grant, the OHV Advisory Committee )Ming on AugtBt 4th, eft. If you knDw anyone on your end that can speak to me about this, that would be great. I think it's iroperaftve I get a source from your office to eovery the story fully. Some things I would want to know... What is the major issue Patio sees with ATV riding in Miami -Dade? o The nnajor issue is finding a location that is both safe and legal for the riders and We for the environment. A. devetopinent has spread, there are fewer areas that are available oral) property owners who may have allowed ATV use no longer do so. Also, as the County and the South Florida Water A4nnagemeni District or other government agencies acquire land for conservation and pmtecdon areas that were rased for ATV riding are off - limits. file:1N:1Prniect UO09109 -00053 - Dade -Colder Park AmendmentlDocumeats\ReuortVune ... 6/212009 What is happening with this grant? o The County lias hired a consultant to do a study with the goal of locating preferred alternative sites for ATI' riding. There has already been one meeting between the consultant tear, park staff and ATV riders to discuss the kinds of experiences and settings the riders are looking for. The consultant will need to identifv areas where The ATV tiding experience suits the riders. where riding does not degrade the environment~ where it "fits" with the surrounding area and where it is available or could be acquired. They then make recommendations to the Depamnent and the ATV community on how to proceed. - Is there a place that it can be safe and legal for ATV riders to ride? o Right now there is no public land that is set -aside for ATV riders. There may lso private areas where landowners allow it Is Parks working with ATV riders to find a legal place for them to ride? a Yes - What is the biggest threat or danger of illegal ATV riding? o It can be dangerous for the riders — even if they meaty well they can be breaking the law and trespassing. They may also - without meaning m — damage an environment that has natural resources that should be protected. - What can you tell me about the legal place to ride in Froward, dubbed the Holy Lands? o At this point we have not visited it— but will in the course of the study. And any other takes on the ATV issue and legality of it in the county. o We are oommitted to vwoddrig with the ATV community and to make every effort to" to identity a suitable location or locations and an implemertta#on strategy. We expect the study to be completed by the end of this year. How soon a location could become available will depending on the findings of the study, o We will be attending the Off - highway Advisory Committee Meeting on August4 and hope to be able to get more Information on how other areas have successfully dealt with the issue. I think a phone interview miglit work bow in this instance because I warts to be able to feed off what the some is telling me in order to ask more questions (rm not slue what exactly their stance will be yet). I am available mid -day through early aftemoon tomorrow end after S p.m. Thogh I can try to free up at other times if" isn't feasibk. Thank you very much foryour assistance.

Furthermost, I would like to express our gratitude to our fellow hunter, full -track and air -boat friends that extended the invitation to us and made our group and sport a part of this Community Event. Its incredible how 30 minutes each day on a microphone, spreading awareness of our sport and the lack of places our children have to practice it safely and legally while the state benefits in taxes and registrations congregated so many new faces wanting more information about the groups and cause. We raffled out shirts, handed out flyer's, stickers. Over all this weekend event was very very successful and brought many groups and sportsman's together. At the end we all concluded that regardless of the sport we practice we all want OUTDOOR FAMILY RECREATIONAL ACITVMES to remain from becoming EXTINCT and that we NEED SAFE AND LEGAL AREAS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS to prevent senseless deaths. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I hope to see you all again and the next event.

Our members in your area have contacted me regarding opening a piece of property located at the decommissioned Opa -locka airport. This could be a temporary solution to the crisis that is facing participants of this very popular sport, in particular the ones who are located in your district. Not having anywhere to ride is very dangerous and encourages illegal activity. Please help us provide a safe, legal place for these otherwise responsible citizens. Give us a place to go and you will see a difference. imagine if someone took away your favorite thing to do and told you that you still have to pay taxes on it, I believe you would also be a little upset.

(DIST7); Caviglia, Silvia (DIST7); Kim, Inson (DIST7); 'JClauser @EFOF.org' Subject: Kid's Safety Week Mr. James McCall Parks And Recreation Department Your name was mentioned in a Miami Herald Neighbors Section article on Sunday in reference to possible ATV riding sites (Parks). I have been meeting over the past few months with people and organizations who are concerned with the escalating number of accidents, traumas and deaths revolving around what we call: "Kid Motorized Vehicles! This designation includes: 1) Off -road Dirt Bikes 2) Motorizes (battery powered) Toddler Vehicles (Barbie Convertibles etc...) and 3) ATV's of all types. We noticed that more of this type "toy," is being purchased for Christmas and the number of accidents have gone up exponentially. Prompted by growing number of these vehicles on city streets and busy highways -- are engaged in drawing a resolution that will call for one week in November to be declared "Child Safety Awareness Week." The Commissioners and other elected, expert and those charged with public safety -- will use this week to publicize (bring to the attention of parents and guardians) the responsibility that goes with the purchase of such vehicles. Also stressed will be the importance of "Buckling -Up" and using the proper auto restraint devices while transporting kids. The target age (Kids) 2 to 18 years of age. I have attached a draft of the Resolution. Our group convened by District 7, County Commissioner Carlos A. Gimenez, consists of the Metro -Dade Police, Miami Children's Hospital, The Epilepsy Foundation and the County Attorney's Office. Since you have been studying the possibility of legalized space to operate ATV -- we feel that a representative from Parks and Recreation Department should be on hand and a working member of the Resolution Committee. A large part of the awareness campaign -- logically -- should come through our parks system. The campaign will seek to make parents and guardians think twice before purchasing a motorized -- non- street -legal vehicle for a child -- unlicensed and under 18 years of age. If we can not persuade most to make an alternative purchase -- then we want them all to know that there are limited places to legally operate such vehicles and whole lot of safety equipment in recommended and a whole lot of personal supervision is required. We hope to convince some major retailers (Toys are US. Wal -Mart etc...) to join us in dissemination information to parents and guardians at the point of purchase. file : //v_IPrniemg\2009109 -00063 - Dade - Collier Park Amendment0ocumentARepor0une ... 6/212009 Please email or fax any of your findings to date (possible ride sites) on this issue.

It is truly a miracle that we did not lose this child to another tragic senseless atv death. Several OHV Groups and I will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that this Community finally provides our children with a safe and legal riding area for them to enjoy this family sport. Mike was on of the lucky ones but not every case is such. Gus, Alan, Kyle and Walter are only a few of the children we have lost in the past year but they can rest assure we will continue our fight on there behalf. To those Commissioners such as Jose 'Pepe" Diaz, Katy Sorenson and Joe Martinez and Mayor Alvarez that have handled this problem with such interest I thank you from the bottom of my heart and for those of you who still have not even returned a phone call I suggest you start listening to the needs of your REGISTERED VOTERS!

They are responsible for greeting fellow OHV enthusiasts, handling emergencies and passing along information about backcountry travel on public land managed by the Forest Service. Operating under a volunteer agreement with the Ocala National Forest Association (ONFA) the Trail Ranger represents the U.S. Forest Service. They are official representatives of the Forest Service, but carry no law enforcement authority to enforce regulations beyond that of any other citizen. Their influence is felt through their knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to help others. They are a vital part of the Forest Service who have a high degree of commitment to responsible use of off - highway travel on public lands. Key Activities • Coordinate Forest trail maintenance with local OHV clubs, associations and community organizations. Operating under the Adopt -A -Trail Program, the rougher routes of travel for ATV, motorcycle, or 4WD are assigned to local organizations. A group of trained volunteers patrol routes on ATVs, motorcycles, and 4WD vehicles. These volunteers make public contact to provide information, watch for illegal use, missing signs or hazardous trail conditions. • Special projects involve organizations or individuals who have only a limited amount of time to donate - only one or two days per year. Program Objectives To help off highway vehicle enthusiasts understand land and resource ethics, the Forest Service has developed a partnership with OHV user groups and industry to develop an OHV program. Appendix V.D.5b 12 http: l/ www. onfa. org/ Trail°�'o2ORangei %2OProgram.htm (1 of 3)5/8/2009 1:58:18 PM Trail Ranger Program • Unite all concerned in safe, sensible use of OHV recreational vehicles and responsible land management. • Provide information and conservation education to OHV enthusiasts who visit the National Forest. Promote the continued enjoyment of our forest, year after year, for generations to come. How to Become an OHV Volunteer The OHV Volunteer Program is a partnership effort between the Ocala National Forests and the Ocala National Forest Association (ONFA). The ONFA manages the program for the partnership. The Partners have agreed upon the following requirements for Trail Rangers. • Have a strong commitment to the vision, mission, purpose, and objectives of the OHV Volunteer Program. • Complete and return the OHV Membership Form. • Demonstrate the ability to contact National Forest visitors in a courteous, informed and positive manner. • Complete required training provided for Trail Rangers. • Maintain your uniform in good condition and wear it only while on duty • Agree to a minimum of 90 hours of service per year (Host) or less than 90 hours for special projects. Individuals interested in the Trail Ranger Program may submit their names to the Webmaster at any time of the year. Orientation and training are conducted at least four times during the year, check the training calendar for Orientation /Host class dates and times. No one will be permitted to become a host candidate between training cycles - each volunteer must complete all of the required training. Background and History Visiting the Forest used to mean camping and hiking. But with the advent of today's sophisticated multi- terrain technology, there is a new and exciting world of adventure - the use of all terrain vehicles that can take enthusiasts to parts of the Forests few people get a chance to see. But with this new use of public lands, there was also a concern and need for Appendix V.D.5b.12 http: / /www.onfa.org /Trail %20Range0 /o20Prograni.htm (2 of 3)518/2009 1:58:18 PM Trail Ranger Program public education of the principles of trail ethics. To help OHV enthusiasts understand land and resource ethics, the Forest Service, together with the Association developed a partnership with OHV user groups and industry to develop an Trail Ranger Volunteer Program. The objectives of the program are: to unite all concerned in safe, sensible use of OHV recreational vehicles and responsible land management, provide information and conservation education to OHV enthusiasts who visit the Forest, and promote the continued enjoyment of our Forests, for generations to come. The overall goal of the program is a more informed public and a more protected Forest.

Improving your businessjoe .Crankshaw(�SCrippS.com . Site MapJanuary 2, 2007 The dirt bikes and four - wheeled all- terrain vehicles that roar through the vacant sand dunes behind Terry Tillman's home in Jensen Beach annoy her and her neighbors. In fact, she is so annoyed, she wants to help the riders find someplace nearby where they can ride legally — without disturbing anyone. If no such place can be found, she wants to help build one. Tillman is trying to deal with a problem that is vexing government officials and law enforcement agencies on the Treasure Coast and across the state. "These people are trespassing," Tillman said about the people who ride ATVs and dirt bikes through the sand dunes behind the Publix on Jensen Beach Boulevard. "They are a plague on our neighborhood, and I wish they would stop." The problem has persisted for years, and it is not confined to Jensen Beach. Residents in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties have complained about noisy dirt bikes and ATVs. Tillman and others have complained to the Martin County Sheriff s Office only to be told there are not enough funds to patrol the area on a regular basis. Also, Tillman said, most of the riders are juveniles, and even if they get arrested, they are released to their parents. Environmentalists complain the vehicles damage the environment. They make trails over sand dunes and through fields and woods, disturbing wildlife with their noise and habitat destruction. State legislators took note of the damage and specified that any lands purchased for a riding area for off - highway vehicles must have been heavily disturbed by earlier uses. Meanwhile, the St. Lucie County Commission voted in December to opt out of another state law that allowed off - highway vehicles to be ridden on dirt roads in unincorporated areas of the county. The action came at the request of St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara, who said he was concerned about the safety of the Appendix V.D.5b.12 http:l/ www. floridarnotorcyde .org /index.cfm/referer/ content .contentltem /ID /175/item/7637/ (1 of 5)5!8/2009 2:20:15 PM Florida Motorcycle Dealers Association - Trespassing' AN, dirt bike enthusiasts want room to tide riders on the roads, particularly at night. In Indian River County, Sheriff Roy Raymond is working with the County Commission to opt out of the same state law. "The off - highway vehicles are a major problem in our county," Indian River County Sheriffs Office spokesman Deputy Jeff Luther said. "We are having a lot of injuries and problems on private property." Martin County Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Lt. Jennell Atlas said her department is not considering recommending that the county opt out of the state law allowing ATVs on dirt roads. She said the county receives sporadic complaints, but there does not seem to be a major problem. Most people involved with ATV and dirt bike riders agree that having a place where the vehicles could be ridden legally would help. But when St. Lucie County Commissioners tried to establish an off - highway park at the St. Lucie County Airport in 2004, citizen protests and the potential costs and liabilities forced them to abandon the plan. Still, Tillman said she is enthusiastic about the possibility of helping find land where the bikers can ride legally. She plans to speak to the local state legislative delegation at a Friday meeting in the Martin County Commission chambers in Stuart to ask for state assistance. "I don't want to be someone who just complains," Tillman said. "I want the kids to have their fun, but I just want them to do it where they won't bother people." Tillman also has recruited Winn Peeples, lobbyist for the Florida Motorcycle Dealers Association. The association represents merchants who sell motorcycles, dirt bikes, all- terrain vehicles and other recreational motor vehicles. Peeples said funds may already be allotted for building riding trails and tracks in areas where there are not such facilities. The Office of Greenways and Trails in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, is involved in three projects that total $1.9 million. But none serve the Treasure Coast. "The Off - Highway Advisory Committee oversees the funds and selects areas for motorsport parks, and it meets quarterly," Peeples said. "I will try and see if they will hold a meeting in the Treasure Coast area to listen to people and assess the need." The idea of a special riding area for off - highway vehicles has real appeal to people who sell the machines. William Talero, operator of Moto Mania on Dixie Highway in Stuart, said he believes a park for off - highway vehicles would be a success.

WHAT IS AN OFF - HIGHWAY VEHICLE? Q Florida laws defines an wa Veh icle Off-Highway also called a g y Vele ( n ATV) or Off - Highway Motorcycle (also called an OHM) as any vehicle used off the roads for recreational purposes, which is not registered and licensed for highway use. • An ATV is defined as any motorized off - highway or all- terrain vehicle 50 inches or less in width, having a dry weight of 900 pounds or less, designed to travel on three or more low- pressure tires, having a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering control and intended for use by a single operator and with no passenger. • An OHM is defined as any motorized vehicle used off the roads or highways that has a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and is designed to travel with not more than two wheels in contact with the ground, but excludes a tractor or a moped. WHAT DO OFF - HIGHWAY VEHICLES COST? • Dealers say the price is based on engine size, and can range from $700 to $10,000. • In 2004, the last year statistics are completely reported, more than 1.4 million were sold annually across the United States. • Because they are not all licensed, no one knows how many there are in each state. • The Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles says it had 245,964 registered in 2004, but added that many more are not registered. Anyone wanting to ride on state or local public land must register the vehicle. LAWS GOVERNING ATVS AND OHMS • The T. Mark Schmidt Off - Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act of 2002, provides the guidelines for operating such off - highway vehicles, and mandates the state to find at least three additional sites for such vehicle use in areas without such sites. • Such vehicles can't be ridden on any road in most of the state of Florida, and can't be ridden on any public or private lands unless the rider is over 18 years of age. Young riders must be accompanied by a licensed rider, and all riders must show written permission to be on private property. • To keep up with the laws governing off - highway vehicles, you can obtain a Appendix V.D.5b.12 http:// www. floridamotercycle .org /indezcfirdmfered content .contentltera/ID/175htemt7637/ (3 of 5)51812009 2:20:15 PM Florida Motorcycle Dealers Association - rrrespassing' AN, dirt bike enthusiasts want room to fide guidebook from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, Division of Forestry.

TNT is comprised of over 24,000 arses located north of U.S. Highway 41 /Tamiami Trail. The operating airport consumes 8,000 acres and is surrounded by 16,000 acres of wetland marsh prairie, cypress tree islands, and man -made lakes. MDAD was approached in 2007 by the Park and Recreation Department (MDPR) to find a location for trails for off - highway vehicles (OHVs). The Aviation Department is nearly finished with a study that is recommending the highest and best uses for the 18,000 acres of property for revenue generation and resource conservation. The Aviation Department is amenable to OHV recreation as a potential activity in the approximate 1,450 acres of previously disturbed land south of the airport. In 2009 MDAD and MDPR executed a Memorandum of Agreement, and have since worked jointly on the planning and design of an OHV trail area south of the airport. Therefore, MDAD supports MDPR in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site appears to have the potential to support a regional OHV recreation area that will attract riders from all over South Florida.

Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Div. of Forestry, for a study of potential sites in Miami-Dade County for future location of an off - highway vehicle recreation site. Miami Dade is in great need of a structured OHV area for our citizens to enjoy as well as others from outside our county.

Miami has a great need for off - highway vehicle recreational trails and riding areas. I have been approached by mothers and fathers who want a safe place for their children to ride ATVs and dirt bikes. There have simply been too many people injured in OHV accidents along roadways in the county, and we are working toward a solution to the problem_ I am working closely with my colleague, Honorable Jim Colletta, Collier County Commissioner to coordinate of planning and design of OHV trails at TNT that will benefit residents of both counties. Due to the importance of this project, I brought Collier and Miami - Dade County administrators and environmental regulatory agencies together and discussed the need to expedite this project. Our agency partners in this project include Big Cypress National Preserve, South Florida Water Management District, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission., just to name a few. Again, I extend my support to Park and Recreation in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site can provide a safe place for children and adults to ride ATVs and dirt bikes, with designated trails and a family- oriented atmosphere. I underscore the importance of a regional OHV trail area for residents of South Florida, and urge the Committee to support this grant request. s Sincer , Jo `Pepe iaz V ' e- Chairman iaTni Dade Board of County Commission DISTRICT OFFICE • 8345 N.W. 12TH STREET • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33126 • (305) 599 -1200 • FAX (3051 470.1791 i Appendix V.D.5b.15 COLLIER COUNTY OFFICE OF THE COUNTY MANAGER 3301 East Tamiami Trail • Naples, Florida 34112 • (239) 252 -8.383 • FAX: (239) 252 -4010 March 12, 2009 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services T.

Mark Schmidt Off - Highway Vehicle Recreation Grant Program. This application will provide necessary funding for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permits for off - highway vehicle trails at the Dade - Collier Training and 'transition (TNT) Airport located in Dade and Collier Counties. Currently, there is no public land available for OHV trails, or all- terrain vehicle use within Miami -Dade County and in Collier County, Land available for such use is not readily accessible due to the cost of land; difficulty in finding land that is not considered environmentally sensitive and some lands require special permitting. At the request of Collier County Commissioner Jim Coletta, Miami -Dade County Aviation and Park and Recreation staff made a presentation to the Board on the proposed use of OHV trails at TNT. Collier County Commission directed staff to continue to work with Miami -Dade in planning, design, and permitting of OHV facilities. The next step is to apply for land use approval for the site. Supporting the request of Miami Dade County Park and Recreation will allow them to continue work toward developing OHV trails at the TNT site for use by both counties' residents. Again, I extend my support to Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site can provide a safe place for children and adults to ride ATVs and dirt- bikes, with designated trails and a family- oriented atmosphere. I underscore the importance of a reglonat OHV trail area for residents of South Florida, and urge the Committee to support this grant request. Sinc , James V.

Mark Schmidt Off - Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act" I feel my long standing involvement with Chapter 261, F.S. allows me credible input to this section of the report. In Chapter 261.02, F.S, it states that "The Legislature finds that off - highway vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in the state and that the use of these vehicles should be controlled and managed to minimize negative effects on the environment, wildlife habitats, native wildlife and native flora and fauna." The key words in this passage are controlled and managed. It goes without saying that without some formalized control or management of ORV use on public lands that there would be an inherent risk of negative impacts to the environment. It is for this reason that the bill was drafted and supported by such non - profit organizations se The Nature Conservancy to help safeguard environmentally sensitive arras through good sound land management practices. It was the intent of this law to get a handle of uncontrolled OHV use on public lands and provide outdoor recreation enthusiasts opportunities to ride in areas properly planned and managed to minimize negative effects on the environment. I find Petition Number CP- 2009 -01 to be consistent with the intent of the T. Mark Sclunidt Off- Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act. The fact that Miami-Dade County and Collier County are working together to resolve the problem of no legal riding areas for the residents of south Florida fully compliments the intent of the law. This petition helps to protect sensitive areas in south Florida by putting into effect a planned OHV riding area that will have both control and management. Thus making sure that �a.

P h1 December 2008, Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk, administrators from Collier and Miami -Dade Counties, and myself met at'the site to discuss the transition of 1,600 r acres' at the Dade -- Collier Training and Transition Airport -from aviation use to park and 0 recreation use. The discussion addressed the rising number of deaths and injuries t related to OHV accidents, and the increasing damage done by trespassing OHVs to e .agricultural lands and environmentally sensitive lands. The potential of having a new, large acreage property for the safe -and legal prevision of OHV trails for ATVs and c motorbikes, camping, fishing, hiking and archery was presented.. t Then= was a consensus at this rnaebrig that even though. the site is located somewhat distant from the urban areas of Naples and Miami, law enforcement agencies from both counties and the state would support opening a safe, county operated recreation area with OHV trails. Miami -Dade Police Department is very supportive of this application to W use the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area, and is interested in partnering with e other law enforcement agencies to deter CHVs from areas of current illegal activity, educate the public about the new riding area after it opens, and provide emergency response to the site as needed. a C Si erely, r a1/ e Robert Parker Director 9105 NW 25 Street • M13mi, Florida • 33172 -1500 Telephone (305) 471 -2100 • Fax (305) 471 -2163 • Website http:llwww.mdpd.corn 1E September 1, 2009 Thomas Greeriwood.

The Dade County Farm Bureau endorses the concept of a shared recreational resource between Miami -Dade and Collier counties that will provide residents with a safe area to legally operate Off - Highway Vehicles (OHVs). The environmental impacts posed by the unlawful use of OHVs in Miami -Dade County is particularly noticeable in the agricultural area outside the Urban Development Boundary. Farm fields are routinely used by OHV riders who destroy valuable cash crops. Environmentally sensitive areas are used for "mudding" especially during the rainy season. The fact of the matter is that there are approximately 24,000 OHVs registered in Miami - Dade and Collier counties. The owners of these OHVs do not have a designated area to safely and legally use their recreational vehicles. We believe that approval of Petition Area CP- 2009 -01 should be granted so that the conceptual project can move closer to realization. Sincere Larry Dunagan President Kati A.

(MSA) retained Miller Legg to perform a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), on behalf of Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department, for the Plan Amendment (Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map) Petition CP- 2009 -1 for the Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area in Collier County, Florida. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment application provides for a new Future Land Use District. This Traffic Impact Study (TIS) has been prepared in accordance with the current edition of the Collier County Transportation Planning Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures. Existing Conditions The Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area District encompasses approximately 1,608 acres of land located within Sections 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Township 53 South, Range 34 East, adjoining the Miami- Dade/Collier County line north of U.S. Highway 41 and south of the runway of the Dade - Collier Transition and Training Airport, and within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC). All lands within this District are entirely owned by Miami -Dade County and includes wetlands, cypress and hardwood forests, and five man -made lakes. Please see the project site in Figure 1. Figure 1- Site Location Map Appendix V.E.1 c 2 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL Proposed Conditions The proposed site is located on the Dade - Collier County border. Access to the proposed site will share the existing service driveway for the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport. The project entrance, site area, and adjacent roadways are shown in Figure 1. Tamiami Trail is a two lane undivided roadway connecting Miami to Naples, and continuing north to Tampa/St. Petersburg. The closest intersection to the project site is State Road 29, approximately twenty - eight miles to the west. State Road 29 continues north to I -75. The primary purpose of this District is to provide an appropriate level of recreational uses beneficial to the County and the region while retaining the existing natural resources. Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Petition CP- 2009 -1� The uses allowed within this District, with limitations specific to this District, are as follows: 1. Visitors' center building — for administrative offices, orientation area, meeting room, and restrooms - not to exceed 2,400 square feet; 2. Parking lot limited to a capacity of 80 passenger vehicles and associated trailers; 3. Primitive Camping; 4. Recreational vehicle camping; 5. Fishing piers and docks; 6. Multi -use trails for pedestrians and bicycles; 7. Wildlife viewing platforms and overlooks; 8. Archery range; 9. Off highway vehicles (OHV) trails; and 10. Other uses as allowed in the Conservation Designation. The primary purpose of the TIS is to quantify the potential impacts, ensure compliance with the transportation concurrency requirements consistent with the plan and identify site related operational deficiencies that impact the health, safety and welfare of the traveling public. Appendix V. E.1 c 3 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL METHODOLOGY STATEMENT The TIS has been prepared based on the methodology statement dated March 27, 2009 as amended per comment by Collier County on April 14, 2009. As requested in the May 5, 2009 sufficiency review letter for Petition CP- 2009 -1, the TIS has been prepared and is based on the following information, rules and criteria: • The TIS has been prepared by a transportation professional with training and experience in traffic analysis and transportation planning. Please reference detailed experience of the transportation professionals in Appendix I.D.1. • The TIS will be prepared as a Minor Study which is defined as a site with "no significant operational impacts with minimal roadway impacts and work within the County right -of- way': • New traffic data collection was not collected. Traffic data was taken and used from the 2008 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). • Trip Generation was calculated per ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 8t' Edition, Land Use Code 417, Regional Park. The trips were calculated based on the acres of park that plan to be developed. The acreage was determined based on The Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) Overlay. The ACSC requires that a site alteration shall be limited to 10% of the total site size. • Trip Distribution and Assignment was calculated based on the OHV title data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for Broward County, Miami- Dade County, Collier County, Hendry County and Lee County. • The Growth Rates were calculated using the actual linear historical growth rate for impacted segments or minimum of 2% linear rate whichever was greater. • Internal and pass by capture trips have not been incorporated into the analysis, the land use being proposed is not conducive to internal or pass by capture and due to the site location. • Level of Service Standards for all major road segments shall be consistent with the letter standards shall be consistent per the County's latest Adopted concurrency tables in the Annual Update and Inventory Appendix V.E.I c 4 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL TRIP GENERATION The trips generated from/to the site have been estimated using the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, the 8'�' Edition. The ITE land use code 417, Regional Park was used as indicated in the methodology statement previously submitted. Please see the trip generation calculations in Table 1. It should be noted that ITE land use code 416, Campground/Recreational Vehicle Park, has elements of some of the land uses being proposed on this site, but the trip generation data from the ITE Trip Generation, a Edition only has one independent variable from one observation based on site acreage. Site acreage is the predominant variable being used to calculate the Average Vehicle Trip Ends since Occupied Camp Sites have not been defined on a conceptual site plan. Table 1 - Trip Generation Land Use Code Acres AM PM Rate Total In 0/O I # Out 0/0 # Rate Total In % # Out 0/0 # Regional Park 417 161 0.15 24 57% 14 43% 10 0.20 32 45% 14 55% 18 Total New Site Trips: 24 14 10 32 14 18 The total project site generated trips of 24 in the AM peak hour and 32 in the PM peak hour are below the threshold of a minor study. The site has been operational in the last twelve (12) months but the existing trips generated to and from the existing site are minimal. Therefore vested trips and net trips from the existing use are considered negligible for this study. TRIP GENERATION (SITE USAGE) The site trips generated in Table 1 are a conservative representation of the traffic flow to and from this site. The existing and proposed use and intensity have been analyzed and summarized in Appendix V.D.5.13 of the Growth Management Application for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. In addition to the proposed use and intensity analysis, a review of the seasonality and anticipated attendance patterns are included as Table 2. This further supports that the number of peak users will be small and variable due to the fact that not all uses will be used year round.

Users may also come from Hendry County, Lee County and potentially St. Lucie County, but for calculation purposes the three Counties of Broward, Miami -Dade and Collier have been used in the trip distribution and assignment of the site trips. The method for determining the trip distribution and assignment was outlined in the approved methodology statement that was reviewed and approved by Collier County. For this specific use and due to the site location, the most current version of the Collier County Model was not used. The trip distribution percentages have been shown graphically in Figure 2, and summarized in Table 3, per the Collier County TIS guidelines.

Due to the location of the site, manual turning movement counts (MTMC's) and daily directional machine counts for significantly impacted road segments were not requested to be collected for the signalized intersections. The TIS used the following Collier County Count Station Data: Appendix V.E.1 c 7 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL ➢ Count Station 97- US 41 (East Tamiami Trail) from SR 29 to Dade County Line ➢ Count Station 96- US 41 (East Tamiami Trail) from San Marco Drive to SR 29 ➢ Count Station 80- SR 29 from US 41 to CR 837 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC GROWTH /FUTURE TRAFFIC The traffic data used from the 2008 Collier County Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR, Figures 9 and 10) was increased by a growth trend factor (GTF). The 2008 FDOT AADT Traffic Count Tables (Figure 4), the FDOT Historical AADT Reports (Figures 5 and 6) published by the FDOT Transportation Statistics Office and the Collier County published AUIR Tables from prior years 2002 through 2008 were referenced in determining the linear growth rate. The committed trips were also included as part of the existing peak directional volumes as shown in the AUIR as trip bank or vested development trips. As mentioned, the FDOT Historical AADT Report data was used to determine the linear growth rate (trend rate) so that the future build -out traffic could be established. Data from each of the nearby monitoring sites located within the study area was fitted with a linear regression to determine the annual trend growth rate from 2008 to the projects design build -out year of 2016 (estimated). As mentioned, the back -up documentation of the average annual growth rate are included as Figures within this report. Due to the relatively flat linear growth rate using the FDOT Historical Data and Collier County published AUIR Tables, a conservative estimate of 2.0% growth per year was assumed as requested by Collier County. The GTF for the project trips at the site access driveway is calculated in Table 4 below, using the equation GTF = [1 + (Annual Growth Trend Rate/ 100)] ^ N, where N = number of years from date of traffic count to 2016.

Appendix V. E.1 c 8 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL ANALYSIS SCENARIOS The traffic analysis for the TIS will be limited to the following analysis scenarios as outlined in Table 9.1 of the Collier County Transportation Planning Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures: Scenario 1- Existing + project trips (2008); Scenario 2- Future -6 year build -out horizon, linear per growth rate (2016). The analysis included committed /vested trips on the roadway network based on the absence of approved but un -built surrounding developments. SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED ROADWAY SEGMENTS/ INTERSECTIONS The proposed project highest peak hour trip generation based on the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic determines the limits of the trip distribution and analysis per the TIS Guidelines. The trips distributed on links directly accessed by the project where the project traffic by direction is equal to or exceeds 2% of the peak hour service volume for the adopted LOS standard. For this plan amendment application/petition, the proposed project highest peak hour trip generation by direction (11 trips) based on the peak hour (PM) divided by the peak hour service volume (875 vehicles) provides the level of significance. This significance test for scenario 1 is for the project trips leaving the site, making a left and heading east on East Tamiami Trail/US 41 toward Miami -Dade County. The significance percentage for scenario 1 is 1.26 %. The significance test for scenario 2 is for the project trips with background traffic (at the build- out year horizon) for the project trips leaving the site, making a left (11 trips) and heading east on East Tamiami Trail /US 41 towards Dade County. The significance percentage for scenario 2 is 1.26 %. Please reference Figure 3 which graphically displays this volume information. The significance percentage for both scenarios per current traffic analysis is below the 2% threshold that would have required analysis of the next directly accessed link /segment (SR 29). There also are no signalized (major) intersections within 1,320 feet of the site access on the directly accessed link segment, East Tamiami Trail /US 41. Left and Right Turn Lane Warrants as outlined in the Collier County Transportation Planning Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures were reviewed as well. The results of these warrants are shown below: Appendix V. E.1 c 9 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area — Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL ➢ Right Turn Lane Volume Threshold = 40 or more peak hour right turn trips into the project site ingress /egress ➢ Left Turn Lane Volume Threshold = 20 or more peak hour left turn trips into the project site ingress/egress As displayed graphically on the exhibit in Figure 3, the build -out peak hour right turns into the site ingress /egress are 10 vehicles. Similarly the build -out peak hour left turns in to the site ingress/egress is 7 vehicles. Peak event operational analysis (i.e. peak hour of generator, weekend rates) is not required by the GMP Amendment review process at this time, but will be applicable at the time of Development Order (i.e. SDP) application or deferred to other appropriate application phase. Turn lane improvements may be required at that time. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The results of the TIS for this project site are that the review shows that the proposed site should be classified as a Small Scale Study which is defined as "No significant operational or roadway impacts' The criteria outlined in the TIS Guidelines for a Small Scale Study is as follows: % The project generates less than 50 net new total 2 -way AM and less than 50 net new total 2 -way PM peak hour trips, and (CONFIRMED) The access point to the adjacent roadway network does not require modification inside the Right -Of -Way above a standard driveway connection. (No turn lanes or median modifications), and (CONFIRMED) ➢ The project is a stand alone project and not part of a larger development, and (CONFIRMED) If the project uses a shared access point, the addition of the project traffic does not trigger any operational deficiencies or additional work within the right -of- way. (CONFIRMED) Therefore a letter from Miami Dade County has not been submitted as part of the TIS acknowledging impacts on US -41 since the peak hour directional project trip volumes are not over 2% (directionally) in Collier County.

The intent of this letter is to propose a methodology memo with assumptions for preparation of a traffic impact study for this site. The paragraphs below outline the background information, assumptions, and proposed methodology for the Traffic Impact Study. Introduction The Dade - Collier Park Amendment is a proposed amendment to the Collier County Growth Management Plan for +/- 1608 acres located north of U.S. Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail) at the Dade County Line. The existing site is part of the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport % property owned by the Miami -Dade Aviation Department. The proposed site is south of the �J existing runway, and contains mostly wetlands with some excavated lakes and dirt roads constructed with the airport. The proposed park will include primitive campgrounds, an archery range, fishing (from lake banks only), and bird - watching. The trails connecting these areas will be designated for Off Highway Vehicles (OHV), bicycles, and hiking. Study Area The proposed site is located on the Dade- Collier County border. Access to the proposed site will share the existing service driveway for the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport. The ,project entrance, site area, and adjacent roadways are shown on the map on the next page. Tamiami Trail is a two lane undivided roadway connecting Miami to Naples, and continuing north to Tampa/St. Petersburg. The closest intersection to the project site is State Road 29, approximately twenty -eight miles to the west. State Road 29 continues north to I -75. IMPROVING COMMUNITIES. CREATING ENVIRONMENTS.

The Project site specifically occupies approximately 1,608 acres of the TNT property within and is bounded on the north by the existing airport (Approx. 1,000 acres) that includes a maintenance trailer, a single runway, taxiways and apron and to the west by an existing access road that links Tamiami Trail to the existing airport. The project site is currently in a semimnatural state; that includes wetlands, cypress and hardwood forests, except for the presence of five man -made quarry lakes, excavated in 1968 to provide fill for construction of the airport and access road to Tamiami Trail. Level of Service Standard (LOSS) Requirements: The Project is located in the Collier County - Gator Hook Strand Basin and within the Big Cypress Watershed Basin as shown in Figure D -1. The drainage LOSS for this project must comply with the goals, objectives and policies stipulated in the Collier County Land Development Code (Chapter 6) and the Growth Management Plan (Future Land Use, Public Facilities Element- Drainage Sub - element and the Conservation & Coastal Management Elements). Further, the site is within the Big Cypress Area of Critical Concern, thus subject to review by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). In addition, given that the project site is greater than 40 acres and impacts existing wetlands within the Big Cypress Watershed Basin, the Big Cypress Basin Board and the South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) will have jurisdiction over review and approval of design, permitting and implementation of drain agelstormwater management systems at this site. At a minimum, the required project Drainage LOSS for the proposed development to attenuate water quality and water quantity requirements shall be as follows: Access paved driveways, parkina areas: The minimum elevation shall be above the highest stage (elevation) derived from stage- storage computations of the 10 year -24 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology. Minimum Finish Floor Elevation: The minimum lowest floor elevation for buildings /structures shall be above the established FEMA Flood Zone for the project site or the highest stage (elevation) derived from stage - storage computations of the 100 year -72 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology; whichever is higher. Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 of Appendix V.E.I d Perimeter Gradina / Allowable Offsite Discharaes: Perimeter grading along the project boundary shall be established at the maximum stage derived from stage- storage computations of the 25 year - 72 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology. Proposed Improvements: The new project contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building (approximate 2200 -2400 SF) to include, Administrative area (small office room), Orientation area, Restrooms and small meeting room (with media capability for train inglorientation purposes) b. New Parking Lot for 80 vehicles. c. Camping: primitive and RV (but with minimal offerings - not for extended stay /luxury RV camping) d. Fishing: piers or docks. e. Off - highway vehicle trails (stabilized trails -at grade) for Off- Highway Vehicles (OHV) f. Multi -use trails (for hikers and bikers) g. Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook, or simply a cypress dome or tree island visible at a distance from trails) h. Archery Range The proposed development uplands may be concentrated along the western portions of the site in close proximity to the existing access road. Storm runoff from parking areas and other development uplands can be collected via drainage structures fitted with pollution retardant baffles and conveyed to dry retention areas for water quality attenuation per SFWMD criteria. The existing five quarry lakes were excavated in the 1960's without consideration of safety or littoral (shallow) shelf areas for fish and wildlife propagation and currently lack a littoral zone transition from the uplands to the bottom of the lakes. As part of the site improvements, the existing edge of the lakes might be improved with a shallow littoral zone to enhance fish and wildlife. In addition, the restored lakes will provide controlled surface storage capacity for stormwater management. The drainage system from developed areas may be conveyed to the existing lakes after water quality requirements are achieved in dry retention areas and subsequently released through controlled means (control structures, spreader swales) in a manner similar to the natural surface flow regime of the area. There are existing trails, previously created by swamp buggies that traverse the project site primarily in an east /west direction. As part of the proposed site development, restoration /realignment of these trails, enhancement of compliant trails and modification of trails to passive uses are projected in order to increase overall compatibility with historical sheet flow patterns from the Big National Preserve to the Everglades National Park. Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 2 of Appendix V.E.I d The drainage and stormwater management systems for the project will be designed considering site constraints and opportunities but in unison and compatible with environmental site assessments, development and mitigation strategies, environmental enhancements and regulatory requirements.

(MSA) Reference: "Dade — Collier Cypress Recreation Area District" Subject: Collier County Staff Report - Review Comments We have reviewed the subject staff report ( "the report ") for the referenced project; particularly related to drainage comments contained on page 9 (attached for ease of reference) of the report and offer the following clarification-. 1) The penultimate paragraph on page 9 of the report states that "...the drainage plan indicates that the perimeter of the property would be bermed limiting sheet flow across the site from the surrounding areas..." The drainage section prepared by MSA and submitted as part of the GMP Amendment application (Appendix V.E.1 D — Drainage) does not propose "a berm" along the perimeter of the property. I believe the reviewer's comment may be stemming from a rigid interpretation of the minimum level of service requirements for perimeter grading stated in the last paragraph of page 1 in Appendix V.E.1 D as NORMALLY required by the SFWMD. In reality, the final proposed grades along the perimeter of this project site will (at a minimum) need to consider: Analysis of pre vs. post - development stormwater modeling per SFWMD criteria taking into account restoration of historical sheet flow across the site in a manner similar to the natural surface flow regime of the area AND the regulatory constraints imposed by the myriad of regulatory agencies that will have jurisdiction over the stormwater system for this project. 2) The penultimate paragraph on page 9 also states that "...This plan also indicates the existing borrow pits would be used for stormwater management which will require underground piping and dry retention for pretreatment resulting in further wetlands impacts... " The use of dry retention areas and the existing lakes is offered only as an option that MAY BE used for this project for attenuation of stormwater quality and quantity requirements. It is really premature at this time; without comprehensive boundary & topographic surveys, final site plans and environmental site assessment(s) to determine final method(s) of stormwater management systems (i.e. dry and/or wet detention /retention systems, etc.) that will satisfy development opportunities and yet minimize wetlands impacts. I think; however, that all throughout Appendix V.E.1 D and particularly in the last paragraph on page 2, Miami -Dade County clearly offers a commitment to the design of a stormwater management system in compliance with regulatory agencies yet sensitive to the protection and enhancement of existing natural resources. s:VPmhmI 1 -'j4 AN pwk�me ­%­ M c Ibe m ty drainage - 8.12 -09.do E. APPENDIX V.E.l e SOLID WASTE Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area County Petition No. CP- 2009 -1 Appendix V.E.le- Solid Waste Existing Level of Service Standard (LOSS): The Collier County Growth Management Plan - Public Facilities Element (Solid Waste Sub - element) and section 6.02.08 of the Collier County Land development Code has established the following Solid Waste Facility Level of Service requirements: a. The LOSS for capital solid waste disposal facilities is 2 years of constructed lined cell capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous five (5) years, and 10 years of permittable landfill capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous five (5) years. b. The determination of public facility adequacy for solid waste disposal facilities shall be based on the following: 1. The required public facilities are in place at the time a final site development plan, final subdivision plat, or building permit is issued. 2. The required public facilities are under construction at the time a final site development plan, final subdivision plat, or building permit is issued. 3. The required public facilities are guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement that includes the provisions of subsections 1. and 2. above. Existing Collier County facilities include two franchise collection areas and three recycling centers, as follows: a. Naples Recycling Center b. Marco Recycling Center c. Carnestown Recycling Center d. Unincorporated County Service Area and Immokalee Transfer Station e. Collier County Landfill Proposed Improvements: The proposed Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area (The Project) contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building (approximate 2200 -2400 SF) to include, Administrative area (small office room), Orientation area, Restrooms and small meeting room (with media capability for training /orientation purposes) b. New Parking Lot for 80 vehicles. c. Camping: primitive and RV (but with minimal offerings) d. Fishing: piers or docks. e. Off - highway vehicle trails (at grade) for Off- Highway Vehicles (OHV) use. f. Multi -use trails (for hikers and bikers) g. Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook) h. Archery Range. Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 of 2 Appendix V.E.I e Per Appendix V.D.5b, it is estimated that approximately 14,300 people will visit the site on a yearly basis. Using the EPA's daily average solid waste production rate of 4.6 Ibs per person, the waste production at the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area is calculated as follows: 14,300 people per year / 365 days per year = ±40 people per day 40 people per day x 4.6 Ibs per person per day = 184 Ibs per day = 36 tons per year The closest waste recycling facility to the project site is the Carnestown Recycling Center (facility) located on US -41 in Everglades City. However, after discussions with the Collier County Solid Waste Management Department (CCSWMD), it was determined that this facility does not have the capacity to service the project site. Therefore, two other facilities were identified for waste disposal: the Collier County Landfill and the Immokalee Transfer Station, shown on Figure E -1. It is projected that approximately 184 Ibs of solid waste will be produced daily at the project site. Given the remoteness of the proposed development, the CCSWMD indicated it is outside of the collection routes performed by both the City and/or County. Therefore, it is anticipated that collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclables generated from proposed development activities will be conducted by an approved private solid waste hauler under contract with the property owner.

Please refer to Appendix V.E.2 - Figure 1 for a location of all these public facilities. This map was obtained from the Collier County GIS /CAD Mapping Section, and represents all the public facilities in Collier County as of April 2009. Proposed Improvements: The proposed Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area (The Project) contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building (approximate 2200 -2400 SF) to include, Administrative area (small office room), Orientation area, Restrooms and small meeting room (with media capability for train inglorientation purposes) b. New Parking Lot for 80 vehicles. c. Camping: primitive and RV (but with minimal offerings) d. Fishing: piers or docks. e. Off- highway vehicle trails (at grade) for Off - Highway Vehicles (OHV) use. f. Multi -use trails (for hikers and bikers) g. Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook) h. Archery Range. The proposed improvements will require the services of local emergency medical stations, fire protection and law enforcement. A description of each of these is provided below. The project site will not have an impact on local schools, as is not proposed for residential use. Emergency Medical Services: The proposed Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area is located under the EMS 60161 Zone, which encompasses most of the eastern portion of Collier County, as shown on Figure 2 of Appendix V.E.2. In addition, Figure 3 of Appendix V.E.2 shows the location of all EMS Stations in Collier County. The closest station is located approximately 50 miles from the project site, in Everglades City. Therefore, the proposed development will be serviced by Collier County's EMS Station No. 61, located at 201 Buckner Avenue in Everglades City. The current LOS for EMS services as specified under the 2008 AUIR is for 8 minutes travel time for urban areas and 12 minutes travel time for rural areas 90l of the time, requiring 1 unit for 16,400 people. Since the proposed development expects an average of 14,300 people per year, the impact on the overall EMS Plan would be minimal, with a maximum of one additional unit for the EMS 60/61 zone. Fire Protection The proposed development is located within the Ochopee Fire District Boundary, as shown on Figure 4 of Appendix V.E.2. Furthermore, Figure 5 of Appendix V.E.2 shows the location of all existing and proposed fire stations within the district. Ochopee's Fire Station No. 60, located at 201 Buckner Avenue in Everglades City, is the closest (50 Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 of 2 Appendix V.E.3 miles) fire station to the project site. The current LOS for this facility is 4 minutes per 1.5 mile radius as depicted in Figure 6 of Appendix V.E.2. Law Enforcement The project site is located within the Collier County Sheriff's Office District 7 (Everglades), as shown on Figure 7 of Appendix V.E.2. The closest Sheriff's Station is located at 32020 Tamiami Trail East in Ochopee, approximately 43 miles from the site, near the intersection of Tamiami Trail and CR -29. Please see Appendix V.E.2 - Figure 7 for graphic reference. As stated on the 2008 AUIR, the LOS for Law Enforcement is 1.96 officers per 1,000 people. There are no major impacts expected from the proposed development to the current Law Enforcement LOS. Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 2 of 2 Appendix V.E.3 Co -re-r Co1414ty Bureau of Emergency Services Memorandum TO: Mr. Thomas Greenwood, Principal Planner Community Development and Environmental Services Division FROM: Dan E. Summers, Directo DATE: November 9, 2009 RE: Petition CP- 2009 -I, Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area, District Growth Management Plan Amendment— Bureau of Emergency Services response to questions raised during the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPQ October 20, 2009 Transmittal Wearing Collier County Bureau of Emergency Services received correspondence and phone communication from Mr. Thomas Greenwood, Principal Planner for Collier County CDES regarding the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area GMP petition. Emergency Services staff has reviewed the petition in its entirety, which was heard by the CCPC at its October 20, 2009 continued transmittal public hearing. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services acknowledges that the site of the proposed "Dade -Collier Cypress Recreation Area" is a remote wilderness recreation site and response times from both Collier County and /or Miami -Dade County will not mirror typical urban or rural response times. Collier County has a standard emergency response time for rural areas such that 90% of calls will be responded to in less than 12 minutes. Estimated arrival times for fire and emergency medical services may range from 28 to 38 minutes, depending on the respective availability of aircraft, ground ambulances and fire apparatus. It is not feasible or cost effective at this time to mandate or provide on -site professional fire and EMS services or traditional level of service standards for this location. Therefore, Miami -Dade County must provide adequate notice (e.g. on -site signage, on -site orientation to visitors, brochures, website) so that occupants /visitors are aware of limited cell -phone wireless communication networks at this site. Similarly, adequate notice must be provided to inform visitors as to the location of a land -line phone to summons emergency assistance. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services has no objection to the petition, but requests the following stipulations be met: 1. That a primary helicopter landing site be provided on stable soils or suitable pavement materials, that is at least 125x125 ft. square for daylight operations only at or near a location that provides the primary access to the ATV riding area. It should be noted that the Miami -Dade Jet Port or TNT (Training and Transitional Airport) should be referenced as an alternative helicopter landing zone, not a primary, as this is not a tower - controlled airport facility. Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff has indicated that adequate soils or existing fill sites are sufficiently elevated for this effort. Collier County will make available technical support for review and selection of these landing sites. However, if upon field verification a suitable site cannot be found at the location identified as containing adequate soils at an &— F-WV.D OSWW*et&-r.n S I=S 8075 Lely Duct tral Flarkway - Naples, Ronda W'13.2s9- 252 -3500 - FAX 239 -252 -3700 • w,,vw_ olf;erevn.org Letter to Thomas Greenwood November 9, 2009 Page 2 appropriate elevation, then a paved landing pad will be required at the discretion of Collier County with all costs borne by the operator. 2. Miami -Dade County has stated that the park will be attended by Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff when the site is open for wilderness ATV activity. Miami -Dade County reported that personnel would be on -site and capable of first -aid and patient stabilization of an injured ATV rider. This first -aid effort should include a suitable ATV or utility type vehicle that could be used to transport EMS personnel to the accident /injury site, or transport a properly packaged and stabilized patient under the supervision of EMS personnel to a suitable site for ground ambulance transport or helicopter. Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff indicated it was likely that their park attendant would have off -road vehicle resources for basic first -aid assistance. 3. Miami -Dade County's designated park attendant shall have radio communications, which shall include a base station when a semi- permanent or permanent park office is established, mobile vehicle mounted radio and hand -held portable radio all with both Miami -Dade County 911 and Collier County Sheriffs 911 frequencies. In addition, the site may want to have Federal and State Park and Forestry VHF communications capability - funded by Miami -Dade County - as an alternative form of communication. It was reported that cell phone coverage presently provided only by Verizon, AT &T, and T- Mobile may not provide a completely reliable cell phone network for emergency communications. Miami -Dade County Parks and Recreation staff indicated that additional two -way radio equipment could be acquired to ensure communications with Collier County, Ochopee Fire, Federal Parks, or Miami -Dade County as needed. 4. Should Miami -Dade County elect to conduct rallies, races, or other high capacity /high census events, Collier County shall have the first right of refusal to provide on -site standby paramedic services in accordance with Collier County ordinance. After the first full year of operation, and annually thereafter, Collier County will evaluate the tails for service to determine If the calls for service to the park warrant a change in response methodology. The re- evaluation may, at the discretion of Collier County, generate a need for other supplies, equipment, communication resources, or ATV type units or tools to ensure reasonable delivery of emergency medical care in this remote setting. Such evaluation shall not affect the approval or long -term operation of the site by Miami -Dade County, but shall mandate coordination and emergency response support from Miami -Dade County Parks Department should it be needed for the continued consistent and safe delivery of emergency services by Collier County, Miami -Dade County shall fund all reasonably necessary public safety needs identified in the annual re- evaluation as a means to facilitate the long -term operation of the site. Funding to address necessary public safety needs identified in the annual re- evaluation shall be included and considered in the Interlocal Agreement being proposed to be executed by Miami -Dade and Collier Counties, should the application be approved. Letter to Thomas Greenwood November 9, 2009 Page 3 In conclusion, Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services, which includes in its Division, the Ochopee Fire Department, Collier County EMS, Collier County MedFllght and the Department of Emergency Management, has no objection to the petition but requests the above stipulations be considered.

CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, F.S., AND RULE 9J -5, F.A.C. D. Amendment CP- 2009 -1 (Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area District): A proposed text and FLUM amendment to the Future Land Use Element for the following: (1) a proposed text amendment to establish a new future land use district entitled "Dade- Collier Cypress Recreation Area District" within the Conservation Designation and Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern; and (2) a proposed amendment to the FLUM to change 1,608 acres from "Conservation Designation" to 'Dade- Collier Cypress Recreation Area District" located at the eastern edge of Collier County, south of the Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport runway, in the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern and the Big Cypress National Preserve. The Department raises the following objections to the proposed amendment: 6. Objection (Environmental Suitability ): The 1,608 acre amendment site is not environmentally suitable for the proposed future land uses and the amendment has not demonstrated that the natural resources on the amendment site and proximate to the site will be protected consistent with the requirements of Rule 91 -5, F.A.C., and the Collier County Growth Management Plan (comprehensive plan). The subject amendment site is currently designated as "Conservation Designation" and "Area of Critical State Concern Overlay" on the Collier County Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The Conservation Designation primarily allows conservation and passive recreation land uses and other limited uses. The Conservation Designation is intended to protect certain vital natural resource areas of the County and to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, recreational, and economic benefits. The Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) Overlay establishes development guidelines regarding site alteration, drainage, transportation, and structure installation, and requires all development within the ACSC to comply with Chapter 28 -25, F.A.C., 'Boundary and Regulations for the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern." The proposed amendment would allow a variety of active and passive recreational uses on the subject site. The subject site and surrounding area contain natural resources (wetlands, floodplains, surface waters, soils, vegetative communities, wildlife, wildlife habitat, and listed species) that would be adversely impacted by the proposed amendment. Response 1: The 1,608 acre Amendment site is part of the larger 24,000 + /- acre Dade - Collier TraininE and Transition Airport (TNT), formerly known as the "Jetport ". Although TNT is an active airport, with a 2 V2 mile long runway that functions in support of local, state and federal aviation purposes, the majority of its lands function as buffer lands in support of conservation purposes. The existing Conservation Designation addresses the entirety of the Aviantion property, including the amendment site. The Conservation Designation of the amendment site, pursuant to Collier Land Development Code 2.03.05(B), already allows conservation and passive recreational uses on these lands Page 1 of 51 in the form of huntine, primitive and sporting recreational camps (RV), fishing hiking bicvcling, archery, viewing nature and other conservation uses. Motorized transportation in the form of swamp buggies and all - terrain vehicles (ATVs) that is accessory and incidental to these same uses is also allowed and has been permitted on the property for over sixty (60) years. Yet, certain allowable uses in the form of unrestricted hunting leeacv camping and motorized transportation (Swamp Buggies) that adversely impact intact natural resources are permitted since the property is actively used for Aviation purposes according to federal FAA guidelines. It is the County's intention to transition the amendment site to Recreation purposes and eliminate all non - conforming permitted uses. As a result of this Amendment. the Applicant will: 1) eliminate huntine, leeacv campsites and swamp bueeies: 2) establish on -site visitor control, programmatic schedules and site enforcement: and 3) measurably improve the natural areas management of sensitive areas to a condition better than surroundine areas. The Department has already begun programming the Amendment and nearby sites for Passive recreational activities through its Eco- Adventure program. Thus far, no information in the Amendment or information provided by Department staff has established evidence that any surroundine areas containing natural resources would be adversely impacted by the proposed amendment. Furthermore, there has been no correspondence or other indications that this transition will adversely impact or conflict with adiacent land uses. Supporting Data and Analysis 1: Exhibit 1 details information on how all proposed uses of the site are already permissible within the Collier Land Development Code 2.03.05(B) Conservation District "CON ", with the exception of motorized recreation. However, since swamp bueeies are permitted as accessory uses to hunting, fishine, camping, and traditional uses, there has historically already been some permissible motorized recreation use on the property. Exhibit 2 addresses how the Amendment proposes to be entirely consistent with Collier Land Development Code 4.02.14 Design Standards for Overlay Areas. Exhibit 3 demonstrates that the Amendment Site is still an active airport operated as the Dade - Collier Trainine and Transition General Aviation Airport. Exhibit 4 illustrates some of Miami -Dade County Park and Recreation Department Eco- Adventure programming now taking place on the Amendment site or on nearby Everglades lands. The 1,608 acre site is environmentally sensitive. The site is located entirely within the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC). The Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern is approximately 860,000 acres and stretches across Collier, Miami -Dade and Monroe counties. The purpose for the designation of the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern was to 'conserve and protect the natural, environmental and economic resources and the scenic beauty of the Big Cypress Area, including the proposed Federal Big Cypress National Fresh Water Reserve, the Everglades National Park, and ecologically related wetlands, estuarine fisheries, and the fresh water aquifer, and ecologically related areas." (Rule 28- 25.002, F.A.C.). The Big Cypress National Preserve is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water (OFW) under Rule 62- 302.700, F.A.C., and is afforded the highest level of protection from water quality degradation under Rule 62- 4.242(2), F.A.C. In addition, natural sheet flow from the proposed site flows southward to Everglades National Park and Page 2 of 51 Florida Bay, both of which are also designated as OFWs and worthy of special protection. The amendment proposes uses that are inconsistent with the purpose for which the Big Cypress ACSC and Big Cypress National Preserve were established and the laws adopted to ensure their protection. Response 2: The Amendment proposes uses entirely consistent with Bie Cypress National Preserve and the ACSC (see Response 1). Approval of the amendment will allow the site to support the same array of passive recreational activities, OHV use included, as the adjacent Bie Cypress National Preserve. Furthermore, County and Federal staff have been working to evaluate how already prepared and successful federal Off -Road Vehicle (ORV) and Land Protection Plans for Bie Cypress National Preserve can be extended to the Amendment site to provide kuidine policies and Dractices on the County's inholdine lands. There is likely to be a certain synergy of uses between Bie Cypress National Preserve and the Amendment property. OHV use is a legislatively required utilization of Big Cypress National Preserve, but the National Park Service has a wider definition of ORV, which includes larger vehicles such as swamp buggies and airboats, and provides only a limited number of permits for users of all- terrain vehicles (ATVs). Allowing only smaller vehicles (ATVs and off - highway motorcycles), on less than 1% of County lands serves to broaden the range of recreational users served without impacting sensitive areas. Pursuant to Florida Department of Environmental Protection staff discussions, the Amendment site is not recognized as being covered by restrictions placed on Outstanding Florida Waters. First, the property is not a designated property since it is not owned by either federal or state interests, and second, its pre- existing recreational uses pre -date the establishment of the Outstanding Florida Waters designation and can be erandfathered under the exception clause for "permitted activities existing on the date of the designation" according to Rule 62- 302.200, F.A.C. Supporting Data and Analysis 2: BCNP Off -Road Vehicle Management Plan — Exhibit 5. BCNP Off -Road Vehicle and Huntine Access — Exhibit 6. BCNP ORV Rules — Exhibit 7. BCNP Land Protection Plan — Exhibit 8. Outstanding Florida Waters Chapter 62- 302.700 and 62- 302.200(13) FAC- Exhibit 9. The subject amendment site contains extensive wetlands throughout the site (approximately 93% of the 1,608 acre site is wetlands). The only areas of the site that are not wetlands are five borrow pits and fill areas created when a runway was constructed for the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport located north of the site. The soils on the site are shallow, sensitive to disturbance and susceptible to erosion. The western third and northern half of the site is flooded from June through January, with the remaining portion flooded June through March. Additionally, the site is located in close proximity to the L -28 levee which is scheduled to be removed as part of the Everglades Restoration Project. As a result, the proposed site may eventually be even wetter than the current condition. The proposed amendment does not establish appropriate guidelines and standards to protect wetlands and native vegetative communities from the adverse impact of the proposed recreational uses. The Collier County Growth Management Plan contains "Area of Critical State Page 3 of 51 Concern Overlay Section A.l.d" (Section 1. Site Alteration, standard d), which states: 'No mangrove trees or salt marsh grasses shall be destroyed or otherwise altered Plants specifically protected by this regulation include: All wetland plants listed by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation in Chapter 17 -301, Florida Administrative Code, as amended" (amended to 62 -301 in 1990). The proposed amendment allows all development to be exempted from compliance with the "ACSC Section 1. Site Alteration standard d" that otherwise applies throughout the ACSC overlay area; and therefore, the amendment would allow development to impact to all wetland plants on the site. In addition, the proposed amendment would allow potential impacts to wetlands throughout the site from trails as a result of the following exemption: "Development within this District, except for trails, shall be concentrated within already disturbed area within the western portions of the .site, primarily in Section 16." These proposed exemptions do not ensure the appropriate protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions with a land use planning approach consistent with the wetland protection requirements of Rule 9J- 5.013(3), F.A.C. The proposed amendment does not ensure that land uses that are incompatible with the protection and conservation of wetlands and wetland functions will be directed away from wetlands. The proposed recreational uses (except for the passive recreation use if it does not involve the alteration of wetlands) are incompatible with the conservation and protection of wetlands and wetland functions. In addition, the site contains 8 listed plant species. The exemption would not only weaken the intent of the comprehensive plan to preserve and protect wetlands and natural resources but could also allow for significant destruction of wetland plants. Thus, the proposed amendment does not further the requirement of Rule 9J- 5.013(2)(c)3., F.A.C., to protect native vegetative communities from destruction by development activities. Response 3: The Amendment clearly acknowledged that the Site is within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern and prioritizes the preservation of water quality and conservation of natural resources. Accordingly, the Amendment confirms that: • Except for trails, the already impacted and disturbed western side of the property will support most public infrastructure (see Exhibit 10). • Site alterations are restricted to no more than 10% of the site, on already disturbed areas so as to not impact vegetative communities. This includes the 53 acres of borrow areas, 13 acres of filled and paved areas remaining from the original lake quarries, and 30 acres of already damaged areas within historically disturbed freshwater marshes and dwarf cypress habitats. • Except for a small roadway area, all non - permeable surfaces greater than 20,000 sf will provide for release of surface run off, collected or uncollected, in a manner approximatine natural surface water flow of the area. • Existing fill areas or new drainage facilities shall not substantially divert or retain sheet flow. • Many existing trails that have contributed to the damage of natural resources and do not factor into future site plans will be removed and restored, with remainine trails benefiting from a reorientation to better align them with the direction of surface water flows. • Existing quarry lakes will be maintained with the same depth, slope and natural shoreline veeetation until FAA requirements governing the property are modified. • New facilities shall not block or divert surface water flows. Page 4 of 51 • Utilization of the existing Bie Cypress National Preserve Natural Areas General Management Plan to help establish a later Adaptive Management Plan unique to the site will help develop appropriate guidelines and standards to protect wetlands and native vegetative communities, and minimize impacts of the proposed recreational uses. The Amendment can be further modified to accept the standard compliance for an ACSC overlay and address in the later required Management Plan laneuaee "whereby no manerove trees or salt marsh grasses shall be destroyed or otherwise altered. Plants specifically protected by this regulation include: All wetland plants listed by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation in Chapter 17 -301, Florida Administrative Code, as amended." This would confine OHV use to that portion of remaining existing trails on already disturbed areas that are determined to best provide recreational use and that can be stabilized to limit adverse impacts to more sensitive areas. Supporting Data and Analysis 3: Recent photography of the site reveals that many areas are already disturbed, either from past quarry operations or more recent permissible swamp bueev use (Exhibit 10). The proposed amendment is inconsistent with Rule 9J- 5.013(2)(c)6, F.A.C., which provides for the protection of the natural functions of soils, fisheries, wildlife habitats, wetlands, rivers, and floodplains; and the amendment is inconsistent with Rule 9J- 5.006(3)(b)l, F.A.C., which states that the comprehensive plan must coordinate future land uses with the appropriate topography and soil conditions and the availability of facilities and services. The proposed amendment land uses may potentially adversely impact the quality of surface water, and the amendment does not protect the quality of surface waters from the uses that would be allowed by the proposed amendment. The soils on site are shallow and sensitive to disturbance which increases the potential for increased erosion and loss of habitat. When combined with the area's shallow soils and sheet flow across the site, the proposed Off Highway Vehicle use would lead to significant amounts of silt transported into surrounding natural areas and adversely affect the quality of surface water. Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) can weigh up to 1200 pounds and top speeds range from 40 to 60 miles per hour. (OHVs are defined in Florida Statutes 261.03 and 261.20). The development of this site as an off highway vehicle park and public recreational area will likely result in soil compression and facilitate the growth of exotic plant species. The potential for damage to the soils increases during the extreme wet and dry seasons which would limit the use of the site to only a few months a year. The construction of OHV trails will require elevation and compression of soils and may alter the hydrologic flow regime. Additionally, the site is located in close proximity to the L -28 levee which is scheduled to be removed as part of the Everglades Restoration Project. As a result, the proposed site may be even wetter than the current condition. The amendment fails to restrict activities and land uses known to adversely affect the quality and quantity of water resources, fails to protect and conserve the natural functions of existing soils, floodplains and wetlands and fails to direct incompatible land uses away from wetlands (Rule 9J -5.013 (2)(c) Land 6., (3)(a) and (b), F.A.C.). The proposed amendment does not include plan policies establishing meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards to ensure: (1) ground disturbances will be avoided and minimized; (2) all storm water will be appropriately treated prior to leaving the site (including OHV trial system); (3) pre- Page 5 of 51 development quantity and quality of surface water flow will be maintained; (4) the surface water management plan for the site will ensure compliance with OFW water quality standards; and (5) containment of discharges and spills of oils, fuels, and greases commonly associated with the operation of OHVs. Response 4: The Amendment discussed the two (2) types of OHVs that will be allowed access to the site, in accordance with the State of Florida's definition of an OHV. Both types are well below the 1200 pound ranee quoted by staff and will be permitted to drive at speeds well below speeds indicated above. Moreover, these smaller vehicles will be using smaller, stabilized trails upon which there will be low levels of soil erosion caused by OHV use. This approach is in complete accordance with Big Cypress National Preserve's manaEement practices whose use will be extended into this property. Furthermore, the intent and purpose of the OHV trails at the Amendment site is for a trail system that provides for a nature viewing experience, not a race track. A maximum speed limit of 25 -30 mph is proposed. The Department reserves the right to reduce the speed limit in more sensitive areas of the park, perhaps to 15 mph in order to provide a pastoral trail ridine experience. OHV trails will be desiened for 5 -6 feet width where they are one - wav, and not to exceed 10 -12 feet in width where they function as two -way connectors. A d_esienated trail system, with directional and speed limit sienaee, and natural barriers such as woody debris and boulders to keep riders on the trail are proposed. Trails will be desiened with turns and switchbacks at regular intervals, so that riders are not prone to drive at high speeds on trails. To appeal to a variety of OHV riders, trails of beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels are proposed. Accordingly, the Amendment can be modified to more clearly indicate how the later Management Plan will include meanineful and predictable euidelines and standards to ensure: (1) ground disturbances will be avoided and minimized; (2) all storm water will be appropriately treated prior to leavine the site (including OHV trail system); (3) pre - development quantity and quality of surface water flow will be maintained until such a time as the site is further impacted by the L28 project; (4) the surface water management plan for the site will ensure compliance with OFW water quality standards, and (5) containment of discharees and spills of oils, fuels, and greases commonly associated with the operation of OHVs. Supporting Data and Analysis 4: Big Cypress National Preserve ORV rules limit ORV's to three or more wheeled vehicles and carefully determines where and when riders can access trails — Exhibits 6 and 7 . The amendment is inconsistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Decompartmentalization and Sheet flow Project, which will reestablish sheet flow from the West Feeder Canal across the Big Cypress Reservation of the Seminole Tribe of Indians of Florida and into the Big Cypress National Preserve. The objective of the CERP project is to raise the water levels and extend the hydroperiod in the Big Cypress National Preserve, and this would further restrict the time that the site could be functional for OHV use. Page 6 of 51 Response 5: The amendment site is almost two miles west of the Levee 28 addressed in the CERP. The impacts of the Water Conservation Area 3 Decompartmentalization and Sheet flow Enhancement Part 3 Project on Levee 28 was already addressed in the Amendment Application. The Applicant was already aware that existing high water periods throughout the year would limit certain site functions, OHV use included. This information was used in calculating the freauencv of use for the entire site (Appendix V.D.5b, page 6). Since Corps of Engineer staff managing the project have now confirmed that: 1) only portions of the levee will be removed; 2) the construction twoiect will not commence until 2023, and 3) they have no way to predict what exact chances in hydrology will take place in the immediate vicinity, there are no changes to the Amendment needed. The proposed Adaptive Management Plan will permit the site to identify, measure and propose any chances to hydroyeriods that warrant further restriction of recreational uses. Supporting Data and Analysis 5: Exhibit 11 illustrates the updated Corps of Engineer (COE) project description and project schedule for CERP. The L -28 levee project is contained in Item 13, Water Conservation Area 3 Decompartmentalization and Sheet flow Enhancement Part 3. At this time, the COE was not able to provide evidence that there will be an increase in water flow into the Amendment site. The proposed amendment would conflict with the restoration of the hydroperiod in the area. The site and surrounding area (known as the Everglades jetport lands) have a history of unmanaged OHV use. The soil damage, ruts, and changes in hydrology can be seen in aerials of Miami - Dade's property, especially the property north of the proposed amendment site. Miami - Dade is not proposing to discontinue the unmanaged OHV use north of the site. The development of the amendment site may cause an increase in trespass use of these lands which would further increase the damage to soils and disturbance to wildlife. The site is too large to gate or fence in order to restrict access. Users may inadvertently enter into Big Cypress National Preserve. The compression of soils by OHVs increases the potential for the transfer of exotic and invasive plants. The noise from OHVs may negatively affect the soundscape of surrounding passive recreation uses and may drive endangered species from their normal habitat. (Rule 9 .15.013 (2)(c)1, 3., 5, 6., and 9., (3)(a) and (b), F.A.C.) Response 6: Response 5 already demonstrates that the CERP project will have little or no known impact on the development of the Amendment site, but may further contribute to how some recreational use periods are managed. Any existing soil damage on the Amendment site will be repaired, in deference to the north area that will not benefit from the site management and enforcement characteristics proposed by this Amendment. Additionally, because OHV trails will be clearly designated and provided for by stabilized surfaces, there is no expectation that: 1) additional soil compaction will take place; 2) erosion will be a factor; 3) transfer of exotic or invasive plants will take place; or 4) site users will stray outside of marked property boundaries. Since the Amendment site will be advertised as a co- location for passive motorized and non - motorized recreational uses, there will be no negative issues related to soundscave conflicts since users will have advanced expectations of the type of conditions available, much like Big Cypress National Preserve already does. Page 7 of 51 Supporting Data and Analysis 6: See Supporting Data and Analysis 5. The site contains a total of 13 state and federal listed animal species, including the Primary Panther zone. US Fish and Wildlife describes the Primary Panther zone as 'currently occupied and supports known breeding population of Florida panthers. These lands are important to the long -term viability and persistence of the panther in the wild." Telemetry indicates that three individual cats (panthers) have been on the 1,608 acre site since 2005 and there is a den located within three miles of the site. The site is within primary panther habitat and the amendment would allow significant disturbance of lands with documented panther sitings. Prey species for the panther, white tail deer and wild hogs, exist on the site. The western portion of the site is located in Primary Bear habitat with the remaining portion of the site in Secondary Bear habitat. The site also contains foraging areas of six wood stork rookeries. These rookeries represent thousands of nests that are essential to the preservation and recovery of the species. The proposed amendment allows land uses that would adversely affect wildlife habitat and the survival of endangered wildlife; and therefore, the amendment is not consistent with the requirement of Rule 9J- 5.013(2)(c)5, F.A.C., to restrict activities known to adversely affect the survival of endangered wildlife. The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the Collier County Growth Management Plan Policy 7.1.2(2)(g), which states: For projects located in Priority I and Priority 11 Panther Habitat areas, the management plan shall discourage the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred by the Florida panther (Fells concolor coryi) by directing intensive land uses to currently disturbed areas. Preferred habitats include pine flatwoods and hardwood hammocks. In turn, these areas shall be buffered from the most intense land uses of the project by using low intensity land uses (e.g., parks, passive recreational areas, go f courses). Golf courses within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District shall be designed and managed using standards found in that district. The management plans shall identij� appropriate lighting controls for these permitted uses and shall also address the opportunity to utilize prescribed burning to maintain fire- adapted preserved vegetative communities and provide brush for white - tailed deer. These requirements shall be consistent with the UFWS South Florida Multi- Species Recovery Plan, May 1999, subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) of this policy. Response 7: There is every reason to expect that animal populations, listed species included, will be improved by the: 1) elimination of hunting, swamp buggies and legacy camping on the Amendment site: and 2) transition of the property from Aviation to Park and Recreation use. This was confirmed when the proposed Amendment was reviewed by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ( FFWCC) and in their letter to FDCA they provided no comments that would indicate that approval of this Amendment would allow land uses that would adversely affect wildlife habitat and the survival of endangered wildlife. Comments that recommended appropriate actions to be taken if negative impacts are identified can be addressed in a future Management Plan or its monitoring program. Other FFWCC comments related to construction can be addressed after zoning action. Supporting Data and Analysis 7: ORC Report containing FFWCC letter. The proposed amendment includes text language applicable to lakes /borrows pits on site that states: "Lake edges may he improved with a shallow littoral zone where determined Page 8 of 51 appropriate. " This proposed text language does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards to ensure that development of the site is consistent with the requirements of Collier County Growth Management Plan "Area of Critical State Concern Overlay Section A. IS (Section 1. Site Alteration, standard t), which states: "Man -made lakes, ponds, or other containment works shall be constructed with a maximum slope of30 degrees to a depth of six feet of water. Whenever mineral extraction is completed in new quarrying lakes, shoreline sloping, planting of littoral shelves with nursery grown aquatic vegetation, restoration or revegetation of the property and disposal of spoils or tailings shall be completed before abandonment of the site. Existing quarrying lakes are exempt from this provision, except that whenever any person carries out any activity defined in Section 380.04, Florida Statutes, as amended as development or applies for a development permit as defined in Section 380.031, Florida Statutes, as amended to develop any existing quarrying lake area, these regulations shall apply. " The Collier County Growth Management Plan quoted above (Section A. 1.f) mirrors Rule 28- 25.006 (6), F.AC. The development of the site as described in the proposed amendment would fall under the definition of development as defined in Section 308.04, Florida Statutes; and therefore, the development would be subject to the requirement to restore the littoral zone of all the lakes/borrow pits within the amendment site. Restoration of the littoral zone may increase the use of the lakes by wading birds which could interfere with the operation and function of the airport facility. The TNT airport is an active runway and airport facility. Although training operations are limited and no aircraft or fuel is stored at the facility, the runway serves as a backup landing site for the Space Shuttle and is used by the Department of Homeland Security to route planes that face security issues. Response 8: FDCA staff comments present a confused and contradictory discussion of the quarry lake issues. The Amendment site is still governed by certain aviation related restrictions that limit the amount of land open to wading and shore birds. The FAA requires that all storm water retention areas at or near active airports have steeply sloped banks to avoid wading birds. Any changes to the profile of the quarry lakes within a specified distance may trigger an increase in birds that will impact airport operations. The Federal Aviation Administration requires that active airports take measures to limit or eliminate proximate wading bird populations and have take measures at this property to retain shear profiles at the adjacent auarry lakes. Supporting Data and Analysis 8: There is no explicit oblieation in Chapter 380.115 F.S. to reauire the modification of a quarry lake edee that has vested rights from its original development authorization. Furthermore. Exhibit 12 presents an FAA circular describine restrictions on hazardous wildlife attractants on or near airports that is pertinent to the Amendment site. It will be necessary to construct wastewater facilities capable of serving both the overnight visitors in recreational vehicles (RVs) and primitive camp sites as well as the day visitors utilizing the recreational trails and other facilities. The applicant has indicated that the site will be served by septic system. However, the amendment is not supported by data and analysis demonstrating that the soils and site are environmentally suitable for an onsite septic system (or any other wastewater facilities) that would be needed to serve the potential demand for wastewater facilities that would be generated by the proposed land use. Data regarding soils Page 9 of 51 is not available from the USDA Soil Service due to the site's isolation and un- likeliness for development. The western third and northern half of the site is flooded from June through January, with the remaining portion flooded June through March. The use of On -site Sewage Treatment and Disposal systems will have the potential to adversely affect water quality and may introduce new nutrient sources to an eco- system that is highly sensitive to very low levels of nutrients. The proposed amendment fails to adequately protect and conserve natural resources; including but not limited to: wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation and environmentally sensitive areas and is not consistent with the requirement of Rule 9J- 5.006(3)(b)l., F.A.C., to coordinate future land uses with the appropriate topography and soil conditions, and the availability of facilities and services. The amendment is not supported by data and analysis addressing the availability of water supply, on -site water wells, and water treatment facilities to serve the potential demand for potable water that would be generated by the proposed amendment and demonstrating that on -site wells would not have the potential to inappropriately draw down surface water and groundwater sources and would be consistent with natural resource restoration objectives. Resnonse 9: The Dade - Collier Cvnress Recreation Area is remotely located (over 40 miles) from existing and future planned public wastewater collection /transmission /pumping and treatment systems. As a result, connecting to a conventional (public) sanitary sewer system is neither available nor practical and wastewater flows from the proposed development will need to be handled by a private onsite sewage system usine allowable methods of sewaee collection and disposal. Apnendix V.E.Le already suggested that a site plan analysis would determine the preferred method of handling waste water. The use of a septic tank/drain field system was one of the options being considered for collection and disposal of domestic wastewater flows from the proposed development, since there is an existing septic system that services the Airport directly north of the Amendment site. The viability, design and implementation of this system will require comprehensive research, review and analysis of sunnorting development data such as site - specific hydro- geological and geotechnical data, wetlands site assessment(s), topographic survey(s) and proposed site plan detailing final location and extent of proposed uplands (i.e. visitors center, parking areas, etc.). Once review and analysis of this documentation is performed, the use of a septic tank/drain field system may be considered pursuant to the standards and related restrictions /constraints established under the latest edition of Chanter 64E -6, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), "Standards for Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems ". However, if the use of a septic tank/drain field system is found incompatible with the initial research data analyzed and /or discordant with environmental conditions and applicable sections of Chapter 64E -6 (F.A.C), the Amendment site will use a confined system such as onsite sewage holding tanks will be designed per required capacity, wastewater removal, hauling and disposal standards as stipulated in Chanter 64E -6 (F.A.C), Section 64E- 6.0101. Supporting Data and Analysis 9: N/A Page 10 of 51 The proposed amendment is inconsistent with Economic Element Policy 1.8, which states: "Collier County will encourage the preservation of sensitive natural resources, including beaches, wetlands, estuaries, clean air and water, historic resources, scenic vistas and other unique natural resources. "The development of this site into a recreation area which would allow recreational vehicle camping and OHV use does not further the preservation of the natural resources on the site. The proposed amendment creates a district within the Conservation Designation land use district. The proposed amendment district is inconsistent with the following guidelines regarding the Conservation Designation as stated in the Collier County Growth Management Plan Future Land Use Element Section IV: "The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreational and economic benefits. All native habitats possess ecological and physical characteristics that juste attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays, wetlands, and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values." The Collier County Growth Management Plan (comprehensive plan) goes on to list the allowable uses within the Conservation Designation land use district. The uses do not permit motorized recreational activities. Allowing a subdistrict within the Conservation land use district which has less restrictive standards for uses is inconsistent with the purpose of the Conservation designation and further weakens the intent of the comprehensive plan to conserve and maintain natural resources. Response 10: At present, the Aviation site use does not conform to the present Collier County Conservation Designation. Establishment of the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area will: and it would further the overall purpose of the Growth Management Plan by conserving and maintaining the natural resources of the property and provide for reviews of any impacts that may degrade the property. At present, no such conservation actions or review take place. In deference to staff comments, a sub - district allowine motorized recreation on a property already permitting motorized use has not been shown to weaken the comprehensive plan or the conservation of the intact natural area. Supporting Data and Analysis 10: Exhibit 10 shows existing disturbed areas that contribute to ongoing degradation of natural areas. Without removal of adverse impacts, and introduction of site management and natural area management, the site will continue to be non - conforming. Rules 9J- 5.005(2), (5), and (6); 9J- 5.006(1) and (2); 9J- 5.006(3)(b)l, and 4.; 9J5.006( 3)(c)1, 2,4,6., and 7.; 9J- 5.006(4); 9J- 5.O11(l); 9J- 5.013(1); 9J- 5.013(2)(b)2., 3., and 4.; 9J- 5.013(2)(c)l, 3, 5, 6., and 9.; and 9J- 5.013(3), F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(2), (8) and (10); 163.3 I 77(6)(a), (c), and (d); and 163.3184, F.S. Recommendation: The Department recognizes that a controlled, well- managed off highway vehicle (OHV) site in the region (Miami -Dade County and Collier County) would meet Page 11 of 51 both state and locally identified recreational needs; however, the location of OHV use areas must be compatible with natural resource protection and conservation needs in the area, as well as the resource protection requirements of law. The Department recommends that Collier County revisit the suitability of other potential sites identified in previous feasibility studies conducted by Miami -Dade County and Collier County. Resi)onse 11: It is expected that OHV trail use of a small portion of this site will be one step of many required to meet the demand for public OHV recreation facilities in south Florida. There is potential to better meet the needs of the OHV public, if South Florida's federal, state, and local agencies work together to pool funding and resources to open new areas. Miami -Dade County and Collier County previously made exhaustive searches of land available for OHV areas, and at this point the Amendment site remains the most viable location. Supporting Data and Analysis 11: The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. Division of Forestry, is iwovidine a forthcoming letter attesting to its determination that the Amendment site is a suitable site for OHV use and has the support of State and support oreanizations- Exhibit 13. 7. Objection (Urban Sprawl; Land Use Need; Greenhouse Gas Emissions): The proposed amendment site is an "in holding" of the Big Cypress National Preserve. The National Park Service currently allows the use of OHVs for recreation, hunting, and access to private property within the Preserve. There is no compelling need to introduce OHVs and RVs into this environmentally sensitive area. Response 12: There is in fact a compelling need to introduce OHVs and RVs into this site by virtue of this Amendment. The Florida OHV Advisory Committee and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services- Division of Forestry has recoenized that southeast Florida area is the one area of the state with the highest need for publicly provided recreational trails for all- terrain vehicles (ATVs) and off - highway motorcycles (OHMs). In an effort to help remedy this deficiency, any public entity that applies for a T. Mark Schmidt OHV Proeram Grant receives a higher number of points for a proposed project located within the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Region 4, southeast Florida area. Miami -Dade County was the sole recipient of limited grant money because the State has determined importance of identifying site(s) suitable for OHV use. Miami -Dade County recognizes that the entirety of the need cannot be resolved through this one site. As other sites and fundine for other sites become available, they too can be considered for alternate OHV locations. Sunvortine Data and Analysis 12: Since 2002, more than 13,000 OHVs were titled by the DHSMV in Miami -Dade County alone, and more than 25.000 OHVs in the tri- county southeast Florida area. Per the terms of the Big Cvpress National Preserve Off -Road Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan, the 15 designated trails of the Preserve are only available to the 2.000 annual ORV permittees, which include airboats, swamp buggies. 4- Wheel drive vehicles, and ATVs. This leaves a laree portion of the Miami -Dade OHV ridine public (approximately 12,500 riders, or 96 %) unserved. The Preserve does not allow Page 12 of 51 two -wheel off- hiehwav motorcycles (OHMs /dirt bikes), leavine this whole sector of southeast Florida OHV riders a 300+ mile drive to public trails at the Withlacoochee State Forest's Croom Motorcycle Area or Ocala National Forest. Collier County staff analysis indicates there are suitable sites available for OHV facilities as well as existing facilities which are closer to the urbanized areas. The amendment site's isolated location creates a significant increase in site specific traffic and extended travel times from population centers. Miami -Dade conducted a feasibility study which indicated that the TNT site was the most suited based on the scoring matrix development within the study. However, Florida Department of Environmental Protection has recommended that the scoring methodology needs to be revisited because it may have affected the predictability of the application of the matrix. (Rule 9J- 5.005(2) FAC) The proposed amendment designates a significant amount of urban development to occur in a rural area at a substantial distance from existing urban areas when more suitable sites are available for this use. Fire services, emergency response and law enforcement costs in time, money and energy are extended because of the site's isolation. The closest Fire or EMS station is located in Everglades City, approximately 50 miles from the site. The nearest law enforcement is 43 miles away just outside of Ochopee. There is limited cell phone service at the site. The combination of distance, access to assistance and the high probability for injury associated with the activity creates the need for services to be expanded to the site. Therefore, the proposed amendment exhibits three indicators of urban sprawl, as outlined in Rule 9J- 5.006(5)(g) 2., 4., and 8., F.A.C. Response 13: The proposed amendment does not contribute to urban sprawl, but merely to create a wilderness park experience at a recreation area with features and amenities not provided for within the Miami -Dade County or Collier County Park and Recreation Department systems. Furthermore, there is no corresponding evidence that this Amendment will trieger the need for development of commerce centers, gas stations, or residential development. Aside from an erroneous determination that cell phone service is inadequate, all evidence in the Application documents that this project will trieeer no urban sprawl since existing fire and police services are nearby or can easily and cheaply be extended. Supporting Data and Analysis 13: Appendix V.E.2 shows that Fire and EMS services are within acceptable distances for non - municipal service areas well outside of the urban boundary. Exhibit 14 addresses how EMS staff has only minimal issues with the Amendment. The proposed amendment fails to comply with the requirements of House Bill 697 requiring new developments to be designed to encourage energy- efficient land use patterns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed 1,608 acre site is located in the middle of the State, some thirty -five miles from the nearest urban and suburban centers. The proposed location poses a significant distance for potential users to travel and does not promote energy- efficient land use patterns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed amendment is not Page 13 of 51 consistent with the requirements of House Bill 697 (as codified in Section 163.3177(6)(a) and (b), F.S. Response 14: The Applicant performed an emissions calculation to specifically address the manner in which the Amendment site may contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Specific to HB 697, Amendment site attributes were incorporated into software established by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) —Local Governments for Sustainability Clean Air and Climate Protection Registry. The software, Clean Air and Climate Protection (CAPA) uses emission inputs to calculate projected emissions. Following performance of CAPA calculations, the Amendment site was clearly able to demonstrate a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) from 7,283 metric tons to 893 metric tons per year. As such, the Amendment clearly is consistent with HB 697 requirements and can be considered to encourage energy efficient land use patterns among proposed development. Sporting Data and Analysis 14: Exhibit 15 documenting a CAPA calculation well below the current greenhouse pas emissions of present use on existing sites. Rules 9J- 5.005(2) and (5); 9J- 5.006(l) and (2); 9J- 5.006(3)(b); 9J- 5.006(3)(b)8; 9J5.006(3)(c); 9J- 5.006(4); 9J- 5.006(5); and 9J- 5.006(5)(g)2., 4., and 8., F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (b), and (d); and 163.3177(2,3, and 8), F.S. Recommendation: Do not adopt the amendment. The County should reconsider other locations for the proposed uses in order to protect natural resources, discourage urban sprawl, promote energy efficient land use patterns, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 8. Objection (Plan Policy Guidelines/Standards): The proposed amendment includes the following text language: "Site development shall restore /realign existing trails previously created by swamp buggies that traverse the site primarily in an east /west direction." This proposed text language would allow the continuation (through restoring /realigning trails) of uses that adversely impact natural resources (wetlands, vegetation, soils, surface water, floodplains, wildlife and wildlife habitat); and therefore, the amendment is not consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J -5, F.A.C., and the Collier County Growth Management Plan to conserve and protect natural resources. In addition, this proposed text language does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards addressing: (1) defining "restore /realign" in order to guide the scope and extent of such action in a manner that ensures the conservation and protection of natural resources; and (2) defining "existing trails" with regard to time. The proposed amendment includes the following text language: 'Development within this District, except for trails, shall be concentrated within already disturbed area within the western portions of the site, primarily in Section 16." The proposed text language is vague as to what constitutes "already disturbed area" and the specific location of the "already disturbed area." Thus, this proposed text language does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards that define the geographic extent of the area contemplated by the text language. Response 15: The Amendment clearly describes how up to one -half of all existing trails that now adversely impact natural resources, due to degradation or surface water issues, Page 14 of 51 will be removed and restored. The remaining one -half of existing trails, those that do not impact natural resources, will be stabilized or realigned for pedestrian or motorized nature trail. Since the level of analysis to define the exact trail locations, or how an existing trail is determined to be disturbed is not a required part of this land use amendment, it can be addressed in a later phase of development. However, text, pictures and environmental analysis do already document the various conditions in which the portions of the Amendment site are determined to be already disturbed (see Exhibit 10). For the purposes of this response, disturbed areas include paved surfaces, piles of excavated rock, scraped areas around quarry lakes that now support exotic plants, quarry lakes, historic trails consistently utilized by motorized vehicles traversing the site. In all cases, disturbed areas are characterized by a level of degradation that cannot easily be restored through natural means. There are, on the other hand, lesser disturbed areas that can be restored either through natural or management means. The Amendment can be modified to provide more meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards for site planning and management plan that define the geographic extent of "disturbed areas" contemplated by the text language. The Amendment can be modified to provide more meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards for site planning and management plan that address: (1) defining "restore /realign" in order to guide the scope and extent of such action in a manner that ensures the conservation and protection of natural resources: and (2) defining "existing trails" with regard to time. Supporting Data and Analysis 15: Appendix V.C. 1 and Exhibit 10 pictures of disturbed areas. The proposed amendment includes text language that requires an adaptive comprehensive management plan be provided at the time of rezoning. The proposed text language does not establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards to ensure that the adaptive comprehensive management plan shall be part of the approved rezoning or site plan conditions for the site in order to ensure that development must be consistent with the adaptive comprehensive management plan. The proposed amendment does not include plan policies establishing meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards, supported by data and analysis, addressing the following in a manner that ensures protection of natural resources: (1) maximum trail widths; (2) total number of OHVs allowed each day; (3) maximum number of RV campsites or lots; (4) water levels at which the trails will close and reopen; (5) methods to keep OHVs on the trails and within the 1,608 acre site; (6) types and sizes of vehicles allowed; (7) compliance and enforcement; (8) impact thresholds for trail usage and closures; (9) habitat restoration; and (10) surface water management. Response 16: The Adaptive Management Plan quoted in the Amendment text was designed to mimic a similar document developed and successfully used by Big Cypress National Preserve. That document benefitted from many staff and affected interests over the course of several years. Miami -Dade County seeks to develop a similar Plan to provide meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards that are part of the approved Page 15 of 51 rezonine or site plan. The Amendment can be modified to insure that the followine items are included: (1) maximum trail widths: (2) total number of OHVs allowed each day (3) maximum number of RV campsites or lots: (4) water levels at which the trails will close and reopen: (5) methods to keep OHVs on the trails and within the 1.608 acre site; (6) types and sizes of vehicles allowed: (7) compliance and enforcement: (8) impact thresholds for trail usage and closures: (9) habitat restoration: and (10) surface water management. Supporting Data and Analysis 16: N/A Rules 9J- 5.005(2), (5), and (6); 9J- 5.006(3)(b) and (c); 9J- 5.011(2)(b) and (c); 9J5.0 13(2)(6) and (c); and 9J- 5.013(3), F.A.C.; and Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (c) and (d); and Sections 163.3177(2), (8), and (10), F. S. Recommendation: Do not adopt the amendment. The County should consider other locations for the proposed use and establish meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards for land use and to ensure the protection of natural resources. 11. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Objection: The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments related to the objections raised above are not consistent with and do not further the following provisions of the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes) for the reasons noted in the objections raised above in Section I: (a) Goal7.a (Water Resources); Policies 7.b.1, 7.b.2, 7.b.5. 7.b.8, and 7.b.10 (the amendments related to Objections 5, 6, and 8); (b) Goal 9.a (Natural Systems and Recreational Lands); Policies 9.b.1, 9.b.3, 9.b.4, 9.b.7, and 9.b.8 (the amendments related to Objections 5, 6, and 8); (c) Goal 10.a (Air Quality); Policy 10.b.1 (the amendment related to Objection 7); (d) Goal ll .a (Energy); Policy ll.b.l (the amendment related Objection 7; (e) Goal 15.a (Land Use); Policies 15.b.1, 15.b.2, and 15.b.6; (the amendments related to Objections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8); (f) Goal 17.a (Public Facilities); Policy 17.b.7; (the amendments related to Objections 2 and 4); (g) Goal 19.a (Transportation); Policies 19.b.3, 19.b.9, and 19.b.13; (the amendments related to Objections 2 and 4); and (h) Goal 25.a (Plan Implementation); Policy 25.b.7; (the amendments related to Objections 1 through 8). above. Recommendation: Revise the plan amendments as recommended for the objections raised Page 16 of 51 Exhibit 1 Collier County Land Development Code Conservation Designation Collier Land Development Code Zoning Districts 2.03.05 Open Space Zoning District B. Conservation District "CON ". The purpose and intent of the conservation district "CON' is to conserve, protect, and maintain vital natural resource lands within unincorporated Collier County that are owned primarily by the public. All native hablels possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify alien pis to maintain these Important natural resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays, wetlands, and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. All proposals for development in the CC district must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the Impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. The CON district includes such public lands as Everglades National Park, 819 Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, porlions of the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, Fakahatchee Strand Stale Preserve, Collier - Seminole Stale Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary Research Reserve, Delnor- Wiggins Stale Park, and the National Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned), and C.R.E.W. It is the Intent of the CON district to require review of all development proposed within the CON district to ensure that the inherent value of the County's natural resources Is not destroyed or unacceptably altered. The CON district corresponds to and Implements the conservation lend use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County OMP. 1. Allowable uses. The following uses are allowed in the CON District. a. Uses permitted as of right.

History of Dade- Colhor Training and Transition Airport Constructed in the earl:: 19705. Dade - Collier Training and Transition Airport was orgirtaill the Everglades Jetport . The Initial runway at the site was planned as the replacement runway for I,liami Internatlonal Airport to serve South Florida. In the late 19706 to earl; 1980s. environmental issues with the Everglades stopped further development of the facility and resulted in what an be found today. The 24.960 acre property has approximately 900 acres of developed and operational land: the remaining area is managed and operated by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. Since its original configuration, the airports most notable enhancements have bNn a runway overlay and lighting upgrade in 1992. costing 53.5 million. and taxiway rejuvenation in 1996. costing 4100.000. The airport is expected to remain the same in regards to its significance to the aviation system and number of operations. its limited revenue- gsnsrating capabilities, the adverts sn vironmental Impact to the Everglades, manmade factors. and corllmunity relations each rastricttha future growth of this airport The airport Is sat up exclusively as a transient training facility for commercial pilots practicing instrument landings. As such It only provides Flight Training services. its low Land Use Compatibility, and financial scores. as well as Its lack of an air traffic control lower, diminishes its viability tar Flight Training other than those elements of the industryfor which it was designed. The airport has no plans to provide anything other than Flight Training services and this is the only future service it is crpectsd it will provide. • Runwa, 9 -27 10,499X 150 Asphah- PFC • S -130 D -200 OT -400 DDT -800 HIRL • ROID9 SSALS • Rv�27 P.API(P4L, • Atrended 070OL30001- • CTAF1L -HICOM 130.00 Monty ND® (L01M 2271LS 108.3 Rt • Vos 119.075 239.69! -9198 DADE- COLLIER AIRPORT ;TNT) 0 VEVV'OADE- COLLIE R TRANIfir A.MTRAM -SMON AIRPORT (TrnT LOCATION 1A AP ,j mapquest directions Your address or intersection Cit state f— Zip r country.

This plan is called for and directed by the General Management Plan and Final Environmental impact Statement: Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida (NPS Page 27 of 51 would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. 7. Skillet Strand South. This access point would be developed on the south side of U.S. Highway 41. Swamp buggies and all - terrain cycles would be allowed to enter the preserve from this point. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. 8. Qugis. Oasis is located approximately in the middle of the preserve on the north side of U.S. Highway 41. The Big Cypress National Preserve Visitor Center parking lot at Oasis is being redesigned to make the area saler and more efficient. The redesign would include ORV parking spaces. Swamp buggies and all - terrain cycles would be allowed to access the backcountry from this point. The designated trail would.be constructed on the cast side of the facility and would provide access to the north. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. 9. Jetport. The Dade- Collier Jetport is located on the eastern side of the preserve north of U.S. highway 41. Although the jetport is within the preserve boundary, the National Park Service does not have management authority over the jetport. Users wanting to access the preserve from jetport lands must continue to obtain permission from the Miami -Dade County Port Authority. The National Park Service would designate an access point for users of the jetport to enter preserve lands. Swamp buggies and all- terrain cycles would be allowed into the backcountry from this point. The National Park Service would work with the Miami -Dade County Port Authority in determining the best location for this access point. A bulletin board and backcountry permit station for this access point may be established at a convenient location. 10. Monroe Station North. Monroe Station is located about halfway through the preserve on the south side of U.S. I Iighway 41. Swamp buggies and all-terrain cycles would be allowed access north into the Turner River Unit. Portable toilets and trash facilities would be provided at Monroe Station at peak tines of use. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information told a backcountry permit station would be established. Page 28 of 51 11, Monroe Station South. Swamp buggies and all- terrain cycles would be allowed access west into Zone 2 of the Stairsteps Unit. Portable toilets and trash facilities would be provided at Monroe Station at peak times of use. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. Private storage of ORVs would be eliminated at Monroe Station, in order to provide for adequate public parking for backcountry use at this access point. 12. Sip, Walker Strand. This access point would be located on Loop Road approximately 4 miles south of the western intersection of Loop Road and U.S. Highway 41. Parking at this site would be along loop Road. This access point would be for airboats only. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information Laid a backcountry permit station would be established. 13. Pace's Dike. Parking at this site, which would be located #on the east end of Pace's Dike and the intersection of Loop Road, would be along Loop Road. This access point would be for swamp buggies and all - terrain cycles. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. 14. Red Bird Lane (Mitchell's Landing). This access point would be located on the south side of Loop Road at Mitchell's Campground where the existing fill road extends approximately a half -mile south of Loop Road. Parking would be on the existing tilled area at the campground. The existing boat ramp would provide access for airboats only. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. 15. Boundary Line. This access point would be located on the south side of Loop Road, with parking along Loop Road. The existing boat ramp would provide access for airboats only. A bulletin board would be maintained to provide information and a backcountry permit station would be established. The designated trail leaving from this area would be routed to avoid Cape Sable seaside sparrow habitat. If data indicated that additional protection for this species was required, this area could be closed in the future. Current plans include installing bulletin boards and backcountry permit stations at each access point along Loop Road. However, this may be modified to provide bulletin boards and permit stations just at the east and west entrances to Loop Road. Carrying Capacities Page 29 of 51 Exhibit 6 BCNP Off -Road Vehicles and Hunting Access Page 30 of 51 in the presence of insufficient surface -water depths can lead to environmental damage including formation of shallow channels in the trails, exposure of bedrock where soil is thin, reduction of vegetation, alteration of surface water drainage and duration, It should be pointed out that airboat activity is self - regulating to an extent under low water conditions because operators tend to discontinue use in the area when the primary trails go dry. However, it may be desirable to impose restrictions to observe public safety and fire danger precautions, and to minimize soil, vegetation, and wildlife. impacts prior to the onset of this "self - regulating" mode. 'These high- and low -water temporal closures were lifted when the affected areas were thought to have returned to environmental conditions deemed suitable for ORV activity, but the lack of pre - defined objective thresholds potentially made these temporal closures difficult to plan around, controversial, and subject to limited public support. The absence of clearly defined criteria makes application of restriction periods subject to the ethos, availability, and experience level of resident resource managers and therefore open to unsubstantiated change in the future. For example, there is no record of airboat closures in the early 1990s despite an extended dry condition during this period, nor are there any instances of high -water closures in 2003 despite the occurrence of high water in the summer and early fall of that year. While it is known that high water incidents in the past, particularly in the water conservation areas of the Fverglades, have had severe impacts on wfldlife populations, the duration and depth upon which similar wildlife stress occurs in the Preserve is not well understood and remains subject to debate, giving rise to the need for a stakeholder- accepted method for applying both closure and opening criteria.

Kevin (MDPR From: Shaw. Eric [Eric.Shaw @dep.state.fl_us] Sent: 0.londay. April 28, 2010 11.02 AM To: Asher, Kevin (MDPR) Subject: Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport Property Dear Mr. Asher, Thank you for you inquiry about the Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) status of the southern portion of the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport in Collier County. As I understand it, the tract in question lies north of U.S. Highway 41, west of the Dade - Collier County Line, and south of the old runway. It is also my understanding that this parcel was acquired several decades ago from private interests and was never under Federal ownership as part of the Big Cypress National Preserve. Although it is surrounded by the Preserve, which has been designated as OFW, this tract is a separate inholding from the Preserve. As such, it is not included in the Big Cypress National Preserve OFW designation. The Department's Geographical Information Systems (GIS) coverage may show this area to be OFW, but this is undoubtedly due to mapping that was done for the Preserve that did not differentiate between Federal ownership and non - Federally owned inholdings. The OFW designation only applies to waters over Federal lands that are Part of the Preserve, but it does not apply to non - Federal inholdings. You had inquired about the "grandfathering" provisions in the OFW rule. Permitted activities that existed at the time of OFW designation are grandfathered as they are considered part of ambient water quality. However, keep in mind that an OFW designation only affects activities that require a DEP or WMD permit. Activities, such as fishing, boating, off - road vehicle use, swimming, etc_, do not require a DEP or WMD permit and are thus unaffected by an OFW designation. In short, Dade Countys restoration plans for the site should be unaffected by OFW unless work is done that would adversely affect the off -site OFW water quality in the Preserve itself. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Florida Outstanding Waters Fact Sheet about Outstanding Florida Waters All waters of the state fall into one of five surface water classifications G2� 302.400 F.A.C.) with specific criteria applicable to each class of water. In addition to its surface water classification, a water may be designated as an Outstanding Florida Water, (62- 302.700 F.A.C.). What is an Outstanding Florida Water? An Outstanding Florida Water, (OFW), is a water designated worthy of special protection because of its natural attributes. This special designation is applied to certain waters, and is intended to protect existing good water quality. Most OFWs are areas managed by the state or federal government as parks, including wildlife refuges, preserves, marine sanctuaries, estuarine research reserves, certain waters within state or national forests, scenic and wild rivers, or aquatic preserves. Generally, the waters within these managed areas are OFWs because the managing agency has requested this special protection. Waters that are not already in a state or federal managed area, may be designated as "special water" OFWs if certain requirements are met including a public process of designation. For more information, please see: The OFW Fnc _ __t provides a listing of "special waters" and OFWs, along with more details relating to permitting of activities within an OFW and requirements for a "special water" OFW designation. The OFW Ouestions and Answers includes commonly asked questions and answers. For more information please contact: Eric Shaw at (850) 245 -8429 or Janet Klemm at (850) 245 -8427. Authority: Section 403.061(27), Florida Statutes, grants DEP the power to: Establish rules which provide for a special category of water bodies within the state, to be referred to as "Outstanding Florida Waters ", which shall be worthy of special protection because of their natural attributes. Back to Top Implementing Agency: All state water quality standards are approved by the Environmental Regulation Commission for use by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

PURPOSE. This Advisory Circular (AC) provides guidance on certain land uses that have the potential to attract hazardous wildlife on or near public -use airports. It also discusses airport development projects (inducing airport construction, expansion, and renovation) affecting aircraft movement near hazardous wildlife attractants. Appendix 1 provides definitions of terms used in this AC. 2. APPLICABILITY. The Federal Aviation Administrates (FAA) recommends that public -use airport operators hipleniW the standards and practices contained in this AC. The holders of Airport operating Certificates issued under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 139, Certification of Airports, Subpart D (Part 139), may use the standards, practices, and recommendations contained in this AC to empty with the wildlife hazard management requirernents of Part 139. Airports that have received Federal grant-in-aid assistance must use these standards. The FAA also recommends the guidance in this AC for land -use planners, operators of non- certificated airports, and developers of projects, facilities, and activities on or near airports. 3. CANCELLATION. This AC cancels AC 151115200 -33A, Hazardous MdYfe AKractants on or near Alrporfs, dated July 27, 20D4. 4. PRINCIPAL CHANGES. This AC contains the following major changes, which are marked with vertical bars in the margin: a. Technical changes to paragraph references- b. Wording on storm water detention ponds- e. Deleted paragraph 4 -3 -b, AdOwal Cordnation- 5. BACKGROUND. Information about the risks posed to aircraft by certain wildlife species has increased a great deal in recent years. Improved reporting, studies, documentation, and statistics dearly show that aircraft collisions with birds and other wildlife are a serious economic and public safety problem. Whine many sped of wildlife can pose a threat to aircraft safety, they are not equally hazardous.

Summers, Director DATE: November 9, 2009 RE: Petition CP- 2009 -1, Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area, District Growth Management Plan Amendment — Bureau of Emergency Services response to questions raised during the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) October 20, 2009 Transmittal Hearing Collier County Bureau of Emergency Services received correspondence and phone communication from Mr. Thomas Greenwood, Principal Planner for Collier County CDES regarding the Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area GMP petition. Emergency Services staff has reviewed the petition in its entirety which was heard by the CCPC at its October 20, 2009 continued transmittal public hearing. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services acknowledges that the site of the proposed "Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area" is a remote wilderness recreation site and response times from both Collier County and /or Miami Dade County will not mirror typical urban or rural response times. Collier County has a standard emergency response time for rural areas such that 90% of calls will be responded to in less than 12 minutes. Estimated arrival times for fire and emergency medical services may range from 28 to 38 minutes depending on the respective availability of aircraft, ground ambulances and fire apparatus. It is not feasible or cost effective at this time to mandate or provide on -site professional fire and EMS services or traditional level of service standards for this location. Therefore, Miami -Dade County must provide adequate notice (e.g. on -site signage, on -site orientation to visitors, brochures, website) so that occupants /visitors are aware of limited cell -phone wireless communication networks at this site. Similarly, adequate notice must be provided to inform visitors as to the location of a land -line phone to summons emergency assistance. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services has no objection to the petition, but requests the following stipulations be met: That a primary helicopter landing site be provided on stable soils or suitable pavement materials that is at least 125x125ft square for daylight operations only at or near a location that provides the primary access to the ATV riding area. It should be noted that the Miami -Dade Jet Port or TNT (Training and Transitional Airport) should be referenced as an alternative helicopter landing zone, not a primary, as this is not a tower controlled airport facility. Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff has indicated that adequate soils or existing fill sites are sufficiently elevated for this effort. Collier County will make available technical support for review and selection of these landing sites. However, if upon field verification a suitable site cannot be found at the location identified as containing adequate soils at an 8075 Lely Cultural Parkway - Napies.

Collier County Service Evaluation Letter to Thomas Greenwood November9, 2009 Page 2 appropriate elevation, then a paved landing pad will be required at the discretion of Collier County with alt costs bore by the operator. 2. Miami -Dade County has stated that the park will be attended by Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff when the site is open for wilderness ATV activity. Miami -Dade County reported that personnel would be on -site and capable of first -aid and patient stabilization of an injured ATV rider. This first -aid effort should include a suitable ATV or utility type vehicle that could be used to transport EMS personnel to the accident/injury site, or transport a properly packaged and stabilized patient under the supervision of EMS personnel to a suitable site for ground ambulance transport or helicopter. Miami -Dade Parks and Recreation staff indicated it was likely that their park attendant would have off -road vehicle resources for basic first -aid assistance. 3. Miami -Dade County's designated park attendant shall have radio communications, which shall include a base station when a semi- permanent or permanent park office is established, mobile vehicle mounted radio and hand -held portable radio all with both Miami-Dade County 911 and Collier County Sheriff's 911 frequencies. In addition, the site must have Federal and State Park and Forestry VHF communications capability - funded by Miami -Dade County - as an alternative form of communication in light of the limited cell phone coverage. Miami -Dade County Parks and Recreation Staff indicated that additional two -way radio equipment to ensure communications with Collier County, Ochopee Fire, Federal Parks, or Dade County could be accommodated. 4. Should Miami -Dade County elect to conduct rallies, races, or other high capacity/high census events, Collier County shall have the first right of refusal to provide on -site standby paramedic services in accordance with Collier County ordinance. 5. After the first full year of operation and annually thereafter Collier County will evaluate the calls for service to determine if the calls for service to the park warrant a change in response methodology. The re- evaluation may, at the discretion of Collier County, generate a need for other supplies, equipment, communication resources, or ATV type units or tools to ensure reasonable delivery of emergency medical care in this remote setting. Such evaluation shall not affect the approval or long term operation of the site by Miami -Dade County, but shall mandate coordination and emergency response support from Miami -Dade County Parks Department should it be needed for the continued consistent and safe delivery of emergency services by Collier County. Miami -Dade County shall fund all reasonably necessary public safety needs identified in the annual re- evaluation as a means to facilitate the long- term operation of the site. In conclusion, Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services, which includes in its Division, the Ochopee Fire Department, Collier County EMS, Collier County MedFlight and the Department of Emergency Management, has no objection to the petition but requests the above stipulations be considered. Thank you. cc: Mr. Leo Ochs, County Manager Chief Jeff Page, Collier County EMS Chief Alan McLaughlin, Ochopee Fire Department Chief Pilot, Steve Adams, Collier County MedFlight Department Page 50 of 51 Exhibit 15 GHG Emission Calculation Miami -Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management CACP Analysis Conducted: April 25, 2010 Dade - Collier Cypress Recreation Area GHG Calculation for Amendment The following emissions calculation exercise was conducted at the request of the Miami -Dade County Parks and Recreation Department (MDPR) by Miami -Dade County Environmental Resource Management Department (DERM). The emissions calculations were done using the ICLEI USA Clean Air and Climate Protection (CACP) software. This software uses inputs (such as fuel consumption volumes, types, etc.) and various emissions factors inherent in the software to calculate the projected emissions and is used to incorporate alternative transportation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. For the purposes of this analysis, the vehicle classification for the transport vehicles was "Heavy Truck." The vehicle classification for the OHVs was "All- Terrain Vehicle and Motorcycle." The assumptions as described below, on which the emissions projections were calculated, have been provided entirely by MDPR. Emissions calculations were run for two scenarios. Scenario 1 assumed that from the entirety of OHV vehicles registered within Miami -Dade, Collier, Broward and Hendry Counties, 3,125 off - highway vehicles (OHV) users would travel an average of 295 miles (590 miles roundtrip) to ride their OHVs on public land trails, four (4) times per year. This totaled 12,500 user trips per year. Scenario 2 assumed that the proposed facility would attract 3,000 OHVs per year (proposed capacity limitation); and each OHV would be transported 50 miles (100 miles roundtrip) to the proposed facility. For both scenarios, the assumptions for the vehicles that transport the OHVs were as follows: 50% were assumed to carry one (1) OHV, 50% were assumed to carry an average of three (3) OHVs, 70% were assumed to consume unleaded fuel (UNL), 30% were assumed to consume diesel fuel (DSL), and all were assumed to be large trucks with an average fuel efficiency of 12.5 miles per gallon. The OHV fuel consumption was assumed to be constant at 27.1 gallons of UNL per year, regardless of riding location. This value was taken from a survey conducted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. For Scenario 1, the total projected DSL and UNL consumption for the transport vehicles were 177,000 gallons and 413,000 gallons, respectively. The total projected amount of UNL consumed by the OHVs themselves was 169,375 gallons. The projected total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the cumulative UNL and DSL that was projected to be combusted were 7,283 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mt CO2e) per year. For Scenario 2, the total projected DSL and UNL consumption for the transport vehicles were 3,600 gallons and 8,400 gallons, respectively. The total projected amount of UNL consumed by the OHVs themselves was 81,300 gallons. The projected total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the cumulative UNL and DSL that was projected to be combusted were 893 mt CO2e per year. Based on these assumptions, the difference in emissions between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 was a calculated reduction of 6,385 mt CO2e per year. The incorporation of this alternative OHV location into County transportation strategies would effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Page 51 of 51
