IV. Public Speaker:
(Melissa Ahern, CBIA - will be heard when Item is discussed.)
VII. New Business:
A. Report: State Audit of the Heath Department - Kenneth R. Rech, P.E.,
Director - Environmental Health and Engineering
Blair Foley:
· Subject: Septic system designs, inspections, and permitting procedures in
Collier County
· Report/evaluation is approximately 47 pages in length
· Will ask for the topic to be included on next month's Agenda to enable
Committee members to review the document with additional input from Staff
Background information:
. DEP Report was dated May 12,2011
· May 26, 2011 - Correspondence was sent to Septic Contractors and Site
Evaluators concerning revisions to the checklist regarding how permits will be
reviewed and inspections conducted.
o The revisions were effective immediately.
Mr. Foley suggested reviewing the changes in the same manner as changes to the
Land Development Code, i.e., vet through the Utilities Subcommittee with input from
Industry and Staff.
2
June 1,2011
Blair Foley noted new LDC Amendments are specific concerning the effective date.
He expressed concern for permits in the "queue" and clients who are trying to update
their septic systems but could not make adjustments because they did not receive
proper notification.
Kenneth Rech:
· Collier County's Health Department is part of the Florida Department of Health
· The audit of the County's programs was conducted in November, 2010
· Some changes have been put into place
· Copies of the Memorandum dated May 26th outlining a number of changes and
the checklist entitled "Onsite Sewage Treatment Disposal System Repair -
Residential" were distributed to the Committee.
Chairman Varian noted the Contractors were caught "off guard" by the audit and the
required changes.
Mr. Foley stated the Report noted a follow-up report is to be submitted in six months
(from the date of issuance) detailing the Health Department's progress. He asked if
this indicated that the Industry had time to phase in the changes.
Dalas Disney requested an overview of the revisions and why the changes were
required.
Mr. Rech stated the primary cause was a change in interpretation by the auditor for the
State's Department of Health. He noted audits of the County's programs are
conducted every three years and the November audit was conducted by a different
auditor. He further stated there were marked changes in interpretation on a number of
items.
Reference was made to the Memorandum, i.e., Site evaluations must utilize specific
scientific language to properly document the indicator that identifies the Seasonal High
Water Table ("SHWT"). Twenty-four specific points were outlined in the
Memorandum.
Discussion ensued concerning the F AC 64E-6 requirements and how to satisfy them.
It was noted physical permits going back to the early' 80s are available. Additional
documentation is available in various log books.
Time line:
· April 18: County received a draft of the initial audit
· May 19: County submitted a Corrective Action Plan based on the draft
· May 20: County received the final version of the draft which had been
revised by the State on May 1 ih but not forwarded to the County
· May 24: State sent an email accepting the County's Corrective Action Plan
Mr. Rech has requested a meeting with representatives from the State's Program
Office to discuss the Audit to determine the best methods to achieve compliance.
George Hermanson cautioned there is very little flexibility or room for negotiation
when dealing with the State, and further stated there is limited opportunity for input.
3
June 1,2011
It was noted the last audit took place in 2007 and only four corrections ("findings")
were necessary. It is possible to apply to the State for a variance.
A question was asked if there was an appeal process with the State since it appeared
the problem was Auditor's interpretation.
· Example: the Auditor was in the field with Staff and stated he did not agree
with the "Wet Season Water Table" on a particular job, but he did not provide
documentation.
Comment: "Is there a standard for interpretation or is it just a 'moving target'? It
seems to be arbitrary and capricious."
Melissa Ahern, CBIA, stated a concern of the Industry was in regard to the
requirements being enforced that were not codified. She requested the FAC or other
Code for each requirement being implemented.
Mr. Rech replied some of the policies were twenty years old, but they were not put
into a Code.
It was noted the Health Department is not permitted to interpret the Code but can only
follow the interpretations provided by the Program Office.
The Permitting Process was explained, including the option to apply for a variance.
There was a discussion concerning enforcement of the Code by the Health Department,
including Permits by Affidavit. The Health Department has Citation authority, with
fines up to $500 per day.
Chairman Varian asked to be notified if a meeting is scheduled with the State, and if
the State Representative could appear before DSAC.

Desist" has been issued.
VI. Old Business:
A. Reconsideration of Previous RPZ Motion (April 6, 2011) - David Dunnavant
B. Review and Approval of Letter to BCC regarding DSAC Recommendation
David Dunnavant, as the motion maker, moved to withdraw the motion made and
passed during the April 6, 2011 meeting. Second by David Hurst.
David Dunnavant provided a brief review:
· The Subcommittee reviewed the RPZ requirement on fire systems.
· Resolution #2009-224 was passed in 2009 on a Consent Agenda without
Industry input.
· The Subcommittee determined that it did not understand the necessity for
implementation of RPZs on fire systems since the incremental safety benefit
does not match the cost to the Industry.
· The existing Double Detector Check Valve assembly system has worked for
years without an inherent risk to the safety, health and welfare of the citizens of
Collier County.
· Recommendation: Request that the BCC remove the stay currently in place on
that portion of the Resolution to enforce the Ordinance, which eliminates the
Double Detector Check Valve assembly, and to reinstate the DDCs as a
suitable backflow device on fire systems.

June 1,2011
He noted the text of the Motion was included on Page 4 of the May 4th Minutes.
George Hermanson stated he would abstain from voting due to a conflict of interest.
Motion carried, 11 - "Yes"/l - "Abstention" (by George Hermanson).
Chairman Varian noted a copy of the formal letter to the Board of County
Commissioners had been distributed to the Members.
David Dunnavant stated the letter contained the entire recommendation, as follows:
"After extensive review of the issue and materials, DSAC has determined that
the current Double Detector Check assembly system is not inherently dangerous
to County's public water system users. It is the backflow protection device standard
for fire systems nationwide of the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
Although the safety of the water system would be enhanced by the installation of
RPZs, the significant costs versus the nominal benefit of such enhancement does
not warrant implementation and the additional expense to our County's citizens.
Additionally, implementation of RPZs would create an increased friction loss to
the system in comparison to the Double Detector Check assembly and will alter fire
sprinkler design in the future for buildings that require this new backflow device,
adding fire pumps at many locations. Further, implementation of RPZs to
future projects provides no additional safety to the system as it is currently built out
and to its current users. The possibility of the Utilities Division seeking RPZ
assemblies in the future on existing buildings, with its higher friction loss, would
render many existingfire protection systems inadequate, forcing significant expense
on the citizens who own these buildings and also adding numerous mechanicalfire
pumps that our Fire Departments would have to rely on in fighting fires.
Last, the requirement in the Utilities Standards Manual that classifies a hydrant or
FDC as a downstream connection that would require an RPZ assembly, instead of a
Double Detector Check, is an unnecessary cost increase to our County. The Double
Detector backflow device provides greater protection than the typical hydrant
installation on our County water system.
DSAC'sfinal recommendation is that the Board of County Commissioners repeal
the portion of Resolution #2009-224 which implements RPZs as the only accepted
backflow prevention device on fire systems, and return to the original Double
Detector Check Assembly Valve system that has effectively been in place for years.
And also requests that the Public Utilities Division modify the Utilities Standard
Manual in Ordinance 2004-31 to allow the use of Double Detector Check Valve
assemblies on fire systems when the only downstream connection is a fire hydrant
or a fire department connection.
The Motion was carried by unanimous vote with (1) Abstention of the Development
Service Advisory Committee. "
(Note: The changes made on Page 7 have been incorporated above.)

June 1,2011
David Dunnavant moved to approve DSAC'sfinal recommendation to the Board of
County Commissioners that the Board repeal the portion of Resolution #2009-224
which implements RPZs as the only accepted backflow prevention device on fire
systems, and return to the original Double Detector Check Assembly Valve system
that has effectively been in place for years. And also, request that the Public Utilities
Division modify the Utilities Standard Manual in Ordinance 2004-31 to allow the
use of Double Detector Check Valve Assemblies onfire systems when the only
downstream connection is a fire hydrant or a fire department connection.
Second by Dalas Disney.
Judy Puig will send the Conflict of Interest form to George Hermanson for signature.
Discussion:
David Hurst questioned Nathan Beals concerning the prior requirement for down-
stream connections.
Nathan Beals replied since 1997, the Standards have stated if there is a dedicated fire
line with connections downstream, an RPZ is required. He defined "connections
downstream" as hydrants, etc.
David Hurst stated he thought the motion was to return the Ordinance to what was in
place in 2008.
David Dunnavant noted there are hydrants throughout the County that do not have
any backflow prevention devices on them. He stated if Double Detector Checks are
installed on hydrants, that provide more protection than is currently in place. He
continued that part of the Subcommittee's discussion was that there was no logic to
installing RPZs if it involved only a Fire Department connection or a hydrant
downstream.
Motion carried, 11- "Yes"/ 1- "Abstention" (by George Hermanson).
The letter was reviewed and the following changes were made:
· First Paragraph: Change "added costs" to "significant costs"
· Second Paragraph: remove apostrophe from RPZs
· Second Paragraph: (last line) add "to" between "and" - "its"
· Second Page (continuation of previous paragraph); add "the Utilities Division"
prior to "seeking" and change "a" to "an"
· Third Paragraph: change Resolution 2009-22 to 2009-224
· Third Paragraph: (last line) add "or a Fire Department connection." to the end
of the sentence.
· Fourth Paragraph: add "with one abstention" to the end of the sentence.
· Signature Line: Remove slash (I) between RPZ and Utilities under title for
David Dunnavant
David Hurst moved to approve the letter as revised. Second by Mario Valle.
Motion carried, 11- "Yes"/ 1- ~~Abstention" (by George Hermanson).

June 1,2011
C. Update: School Board Impact Fee Subcommittee - Amy Patterson, Impact Fee
and Economic Development Manager
· A copy of the Executive Summary dated October 12, 2010 was distributed to
the Committee. The Executive Summary recommended reducing Impact Fees
by 50% with a retroactive effective date of October 8, 2010.
. The Subcommittee met on April 8th
· A copy of the draft of the School Impact Fee Update Study prepared by
Tindale-Oliver, dated March 31,2011, was distributed to the DSAC members.
· There were changes to credit calculations, land values (declined), and
construction costs from the 2006 Study.
Reed Jarvi asked what will happen to the reduced rates at the end of the recommended
two-year period.
Amy Patterson replied that the Board has several options:
. To keep the 50% rates in effect, or
. To bring to the Study Rates into effect.
She noted by October, 2012, it will be time to conduct are-study.
It was noted the School Board does not have any reserves in its Impact Fee fund.
There was a discussion of land values for future school sites and how the figures were
determined.
Reed Jarvi considered the explanation by Tindale-Oliver to be inadequate and too
high.
Mario Valle referred to Table B-3 and noted land values for parcels owned by the
School District in the eastern portions of the County have decreased according to the
Assessed values in the Property Appraiser's Office. He stated land values in the
Estates have dropped by approximately 90%.
Mario Valle moved to approve accepting the School Impact Fee Impact Study and to
recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners. Second by Robert
Mulhere. Motion carried, 11- "Yes"/ 1- "absent."
(Note: George Hermanson briefly left the conference room during the discussion and
did not return until after the vote was taken.)
D. Project Request Application Questionnaire - Nick Casalanguida, Deputy
Administrator, GMD Planning & Regulation, and Claudine Auclair, Manager -
Business Center
· A copy of the draft of the Project Screening Questionnaire was distributed to
the members.
· The Questionnaire has been reduced by several pages.
· An Insubstantial Change can be submitted at the same time as a Building
Permit application.
· Two separate fees will still be charged.
· Claudine Auclair asked for volunteers to serve on a Subcommittee to review
potential changes to the Land Development Code (by Amendment) and the
Administrative Code.
8
June 1,2011
· Reed Jarvi, Robert Mulhere, David Hurst, and Marco Espinar volunteered to
serve on the Subcommittee.
VIII. Committee Member Comments:
· David Hurst noted his comments on Page 8 of the May 4th minutes were not what
he intended to state. He requested to change the word "circumference" to "area,"
and to remove "it is dug 2 to 3 inches deeper" and insert "but it may be allowed to
stage at approximately two to three inches higher."

the new equipment must meet all of the origina'l fire ratings. This aDDlies onlv to the new Droducts
Installed.
2. When replacing HVAC equipment in one unit of a multi-family building over three stories in height,
the new equipment must meet all ofthe new fire ratings. i.e. CPVC or plenum rated drains, plenum
rated arm flex, and plenum rated wiring. this aDDlles onlv to the new Droducts installed.
3. Whenever a new line set is installed and runs through a fire rated assembly in any multi-family
building, the proper fire rated protection must be used at penetration.
A structural inspection will be required whenever a new line is installed or fire rated assembly is penetrated.
A $60.00 fee will be charged for this inspection.
More information will be required at time of permitting.
a) The number of floors of building.
b) Will a new line set be installed?
c) What type of protection system will be used to achieve the proper fire rating?
d) The approximate date of construction of building.
e) Provide the rated CFM of the equipment as per manufacture as well as tonnages.
f) And the standard information supplied already by contractor
