RE: Lely Barefoot Beach PUD Amendment

Per the 1985 Settlement Agreement (Settlement) between Lely Estates, Inc.
(Lely Barefoot Beach), The Conservancy, Inc. (Conservancy) and Collier County,
certain activities and changes proposed within the Lely Barefoot Beach
development require the review and /or approval of the Conservancy. Section
seven of the Settlement describes the binding nature of the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) document and states, in part:
Because of the characteristics of this real estate development and
the specific nature of the agreements herein for settlement and the
associated standards, defendant Lely, on behalf of itself and its
representatives, successors, assigns and heirs, does hereby agree
that no changes to the relevant P.U.D. ordinance or associated
exhibits (except for the minor changes described below) will be
made without review and written approval by plaintiff, The
Conservancy. Such approval shall not be unreasonable withheld.
The Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association, Inc. has submitted an
application to Collier County for a PUD amendment to reallocate 15 units of
unbuilt density from the Cottages at Barefoot Beach (DC -1) to Lely Barefoot
Beach Unit 1, Blocks A -K. The Conservancy asserts that the reallocation of
density is a substantial amendment and therefore subject to the requirements of
this provision.
k•.
The need to reallocate the 15 units of density is based upon a discrepancy
between the number of lots available within Unit 1, Blocks A -K as indicated on
the plat and the amount of density assigned to this area within the 1985 PUD.
Unit 1, Blocks A -K were platted in 1978 and contained 132 buildable lots. The
PUD assigned a lesser density of 91 units in 1985, but also included language
that allowed for this maximum to be increased as long as the total density for the
entire project did not exceed 750 units.
Conservancy staff has reviewed this request and has determined that while the
original plat contained 132 units, the PUD's flexibility in allowing for lot
combination has resulted in a number of lots being consolidated to allow for a
larger structure and greater setbacks from adjacent properties. A review of the
Property Appraiser's site confirms that there are now 93 distinct lots within Unit 1,
Blocks A -K.
However, while some of these lot combinations have resulted in private deed
restrictions limiting them to only one home, others do not have such a stipulation
in place. According to the information provided on behalf of the applicant, there
are six parcels where two homes could be allowed, even though these parcels
today contain a single residence. Taking these lots into consideration, it appears
that there are potentially 105 buildable units existing within Unit 1, Block A -K
(See Attachment). Thus, a request to reallocate 15 units would bring the total
allowable density from 91 units to 106 units. This total would provide the density
necessary for a home to be built on all of the lots to which units are legally
entitled, and would provide one extra dwelling unit in case of error in the total
count.
The Conservancy does not object to this amendment based upon the validity of
the following items:
1. The amendment will not result in any additional impact to open space or
preserve areas within the Lely Barefoot Beach PUD.
2. The amendment will not result in additional encroachment to natural
resources beyond what is already allowed per the PUD and Settlement.
3. As the amendment is reallocating density already contained within the
PUD, there will be no increase in the overall number of units within the
development as the result of this amendment.
Based upon these items being true and accurate, the Conservancy approved the
proposed amendment to the Lely Barefoot Beach PUD. As a signatory to the
1985 Settlement, the Conservancy maintains our role of environmental oversight
for activities within the Lely Barefoot Beach development. We take our obligation
very seriously, as a significant amount of environmental impact was conceded
during our negotiated settlement on this legal matter in the mid- 1980s. As much
has been given up in order to allow for both development and natural resource
protection within Lely Barefoot Beach, our role remains to continue monitoring all
r
activities under our authority to ensure they are conducted in a manner that
avoids additional environmental degradation.
Thank you for the information provided for our review and if you have any
questions, please contact Nicole Ryan, Director of Governmental Relations, at
(239) 403 -4220.
Sincerely,

Slow Release Nitrogen Fertilizer Content
Slow- release nitrogen is nitrogen in a form that adds nutrients into the soil slowly over time. Because
slow - release nitrogen takes time to activate and provide nutrient components to the soil, many
advocate its use over a quick - release nitrogen product that could leach and run off more quickly, causing
water quality concerns'. Fertilizers with a high percentage of slow release nitrogen are less likely to
leach or runoff into Florida's waters . 2
DEP recommends that "to limit the environmental impact of your fertilization program, it is
recommended that no more than 0.S pounds of water - soluble N per 1,000 square feet be applied in a
normal application.i3 A 2007 IFAS publication also recommends utilizing 50% slow release nitrogen.4

University of Florida. P. 3.
Minimal or Zero Phosphorus Fertilizer Content
Soils throughout Florida generally contain enough phosphorus that fertilization with additional amounts
of it is not necessary to maintain a healthy state. Therefore, as DEP has recommended, phosphorus
"application should be limited to soils that require additional P based on soil or tissue testing.i5
4 lb Cap on Fertilizer Application Per Year
The State Model Ordinance allows for fertilizing up to 6 Ibs of nitrogen per year for St. Augustine grass,
and up to 7 Ibs of nitrogen for Bermuda grass. In order to avoid over - fertilization based on the state
Model Ordinance, the Conservancy supports placing a cap on the annual amount that can be applied to
4 lbs. This cap echoes the minimums established in the Urban Turf Rule and literature such as IFAS'
Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Handbook of the minimum amount of nitrogen needed for healthy
turf grasses.
Fertilizer Free Buffer Zones Adjacent to Waterbodies
Buffer areas adjacent to water resource areas "function[ ] by removing sediments and associated
pollutants from surface water runoff, removing, detaining, or detoxifying nutrients and contaminants
from upland sources. "' A buffer area is put in place to mitigate against application error and prevent
runoff. Buffers of at least 15 feet reduced subsurface nitrate flows by up to 80 %8.
Green Industry Best Management Practices (BMP) and other sources suggest buffer zones of 10 feet can
protect water resources9. Plants and turf within the zone may receive nutrient nourishment from other
sources, for example, sloughing of fertilizer applied landward of the buffer zone or from rain deposits.
Rainv Season Prohibition
The state Model Ordinance only prohibits fertilizing during major storm events, such as floods,
hurricanes, or tropical storms, or when rain fall is expected to be more than 2 inches10. However, only
about 3 to 5% of southwest Florida's rain events exceed 2 inches"
A blackout period would address frequent rainstorms washing fertilizer into adjacent waterbodies
during the typical rainy season. The rainy season in Collier County is generally from June through
September with 62 %, of average annual rainfall falling within this period12

Many sources, including a study from IFAS, can be utilized to support the prohibition for rainy season
application. "Fertilization with N in the summer is not always desirable since this often encourages
disease and insect problems. "13 Instead, a slow - release fertilizer could be applied before June 1S` and
provide steady nutritional aid during the black -out period while decreasing risk of disease and insect
infestation. Additionally, grass clippings can be utilized to provide nutrients to turf during the rainy
season application prohibition. Grass clippings are a significant source of nitrogen - up to 1 to 2 pounds
of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft14. More grass clippings are produced in our rainy season than any other time
of the year.

OF LAWS AND ORDINANCES; CONFLICTS OF LAW; SEVERABILITY; AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals associated with fertilizer
use within the County are a source of pollution, occurring primarily from storm water
runoff with the effect of impairing water quality and threatening the health of our aquatic
systems; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has identified
Rookery Bay and Lake Trafford as "impaired" for nutrients and has identified Corkscrew
Marsh, Cocohatchee Slough, Gordon River, Naples Bay, Golden Gate, Okaloacoochee
Slough, Silver Strand, Immokalee Basin and Fakahatchee Strand as "impaired" as a
result of excess nutrients under the Florida Impaired Waters Rule (§ 62 -303 F.A.C.); and
WHEREAS, 32% of the area of Collier County is considered "impaired" for
nutrients and /or "impaired" for dissolved oxygen with a causative pollutant of excess
nutrients; and
WHEREAS, remedial actions are necessary in order to maintain and improve the
quality of these waterbodies and their downstream estuarine ecosystems, which can be
accomplished through a reduction in the amounts and kinds of pollution flowing into
these waterbodies through the County stormwater system as a result of fertilizer
applications; and
WHEREAS, nutrients are essential elements for plant growth and are commonly
used in various forms as a fertilizer for lawn, turf, and landscape application; and
WHEREAS, the amount of fertilizer applied shall be the minimum amount for
the lawn and landscape to meet plant needs as amounts in excess may result in
negative effects both to lawn and landscapes as well as water resources; and
WHEREAS, phosphorus is not a necessary fertilizer ingredient for all sites and all
locations within the County; and
WHEREAS, nitrogen from slow release sources minimizes harmful leaching and
is less likely to run off the land and pollute natural water bodies;
Collier County Fertilizer Ordinance
WHEREAS, a significant portion of fertilizer pollution can be ameliorated by using
the correct fertilizer and the correct application method;
WHEREAS, said practices would properly act to protect the health, safety,
property, and welfare of the citizens and visitors to the County; and
WHEREAS, harmful algal blooms and accumulation of red drift algae on local
beaches have heightened community concern about water quality and eutrophication of
surrounding waters; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to develop and strengthen public awareness of the
interconnectivity between activities in residential and commercial yards, streets, the
County's stormwater system, and our surrounding natural water bodies;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 403.9336 and 403.9337,
the County must adopt, at a minimum, the Model Ordinance for Florida - Friendly Fertilizer
Use due to the presence of impaired waterbodies.
WHEREAS, this ordinance is part of a comprehensive multi - pronged effort by
Collier County to address nonpoint sources of pollution, reduce nutrient leaching and
runoff including, but not limited to, stormwater management, water conservation, and
education; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has considered all relevant
scientific information, including but limited to, information related to local conditions,
quality of waterbodies, soils and geology, urban or rural densities and other
characteristics, on the need to include more stringent provisions to address fertilizer use
as a contributor to water quality degradation, and has included all relevant
documentation within the public record before adoption of the more stringent criteria;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS
The above "whereas" clauses are hereby deemed by Collier County to constitute
findings of Collier County for purposes of this Ordinance and are incorporated herein as
if fully set forth in the section.
SECTION 2: INTENT AND PURPOSE
(1) The intent and purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for the regulation of landscape
management practices and fertilizers containing nitrogen and /or phosphorus and to
provide specific guidelines for landscaping and fertilization in order to minimize the
negative environmental effects said fertilizers have in and on the waterbodies of
Collier County. Stormwater runoff is a major source of pollution for our natural
waters, and in order to improve the water quality of the waterbodies within and
2
Collier County Fertilizer Ordinance
surrounding the County and restore their estuarine ecosystems, the amount and
kinds of pollution flowing into these waterbodies must be reduced. Collectively these
water bodies are a natural asset, which are critical to the environmental, recreational,
cultural and economic well -being of the County and the surrounding areas and
contribute to the general health and welfare of the public. Therefore, regulation of
nutrients, including both phosphorus and nitrogen contained in fertilizer, entering the
above - referenced waterbodies is crucial. Reducing the negative effects of nutrient
pollution combined with lawn and landscape maintenance professional certification
will be an essential step towards improving and maintaining water and habitat
quality. The use of no phosphorous and slow release nitrogen fertilizers is strongly
encouraged as Florida soils typically contain sufficient phosphorous for a healthy
native or man -made landscape and nitrogen can quickly and easily run off
landscapes. Certification will result in increasing the knowledge of lawn and
landscape maintenance professionals, and their residential and business customers,
of:
a. The effects of fertilizers and overwatering on the environment;
b. Ways to reduce the amount of fertilizers utilized; and
c. Methods to limit water use on lawns and landscapes thus potentially lowering
the impacts of nonpoint source pollution on local waterbodies.
(2) Nitrogen and phosphorous are essential ingredients for plant growth; however,
overuse and improper application of these nutrients create water quality issues and
pollute our treasured natural waters. They promote algae blooms and other
excessive plant growth. No phosphorus fertilizer and slow release nitrogen fertilizer,
along with proper utilization, result in absorption by plants and lower levels of
nutrients reaching the waterbodies within and surrounding Collier County and their
associated watersheds.
SECTION 3: DEFINITIONS

SECTION 5: TIMING OF APPLICATION: FERTILIZER CONTENT AND
APPLICATION RATE: TOTAL YEARLY APPLICATIONS: IMPERVIOUS SURFACES:
FERTILIZER FREE BUFFER ZONES: MODE OF APPLICATION: LOW
MAINTENANCE ZONES: MANAGEMENT OF GRASS CLIPPINGS AND VEGETATIVE
MATERIAL
(1) Timing of application. No person shall apply fertilizers containing nitrogen and /or
phosphorus to lawn, turf and /or landscape plants during the Rainy Season and the
Prohibited Application Period, or to saturated soils.
(2) Fertilizer content and application rate.
a. Phosphorous Content. Fertilizers applied to lawn, turf, and /or landscape
plants within the County shall contain no phosphorus per guaranteed analysis
label.
b. Slow Release Fertilizer. Fertilizers applied to lawn, turf and /or landscape
plants within the County shall contain no less than fifty (50) percent slow
release nitrogen per guaranteed analysis label.
c. Application Rate. Fertilizers should be applied to lawn, turf and /or landscape
plants at the lowest rate necessary without exceeding the maximum rate per
application. Fertilizer shall not be applied at a rate greater than one (1) pound
of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per application. No more than four (4)
pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet shall be applied to any lawn, turf or
landscape area in any calendar year.
d. Total Yearly Applications. Fertilizers shall not be applied more than four (4)
times during any one calendar year to a single area.
(3) Impervious Surfaces. Fertilizer shall not be applied, spilled or otherwise deposited
on any impervious surfaces. Any fertilizer applied, spilled or deposited, either
intentionally or accidentally, on any impervious surface shall be immediately and
completely removed. Fertilizer released on an impervious surface must be
C
Collier County Fertilizer Ordinance
immediately contained and either legally applied or returned to the original or other
appropriate container.
(4) Fertilizer Free Buffer Zones. No fertilizer shall be applied in or within ten (10) feet
from the edge of any waterbody or seawall.
(5) Mode of application. Spreader deflector shields are required when fertilizing by use
of any broadcast or rotary spreaders. Deflectors must be positioned such that
fertilizer granules are deflected away from all impervious surfaces, fertilizer free
buffer zones, and water bodies, including wetlands.
(6) Low maintenance zones. A voluntary ten (10) foot low maintenance zone is strongly
recommended, but not mandated, from any pond, stream, water course, lake,
wetland or from the top of a seawall. A swale /berm system is recommended for
installation at the landward edge of this low maintenance zone to capture and filter
runoff. If more stringent Collier County Code regulations apply, this provision does
not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more stringent regulations.
(7) Management of grass clippings and vegetative material. In no case shall any person
wash, sweep or blow off grass clippings and /or vegetative material into stormwater
drains, ditches, conveyances, water bodies, roadways or other impervious surfaces.
