James Schmidt, Chairman of the Naples Airport Authority, relayed :~.that the Authority feels that not having the signal light at the ~::tntersectton of North Road and Airport Pulling Road could result in a !.i'?..:very tragic accident. He emphasized the concern of the Airport Authority regarding visitors that arrive at the airport by plane, rent :~:a car and then find a hazardous traffic situation at the intersection Of Airport Road and North Road. He read into the record the City of ~Naples Airport Authority Resolution 92-10 which requests the immediate [[i[~!ireinstallatton of a traffic signal at this Intersection. -.' The following people spoke regarding this item: Bruce Conley ' Noel Osborne · : Carolyn Jackson !:.j;.. George Archibald, Transportation Services Administrator, explained · ,the light had been removed when Airport Road was widened in September, :'i/~!i(1992, and the signal light is scheduled to be reinstalled in late FebrUary or March, 1993. :C°ma/e~loner Norris moved, seconded by Conmtsstonsr Constantine ~:.?f: arrled unanimously, that staff, as quickly as possible, purchase used ' 'stgna! poles and the Transportation D/rector put up appropriate st~ns ;' "to direct traffic until the traffic signal is reinstalled. (~) ,_I~OBLTC COl~ ON G~NERAL TOPIC 3anuar¥ 19, 1993 i;" Laura Nell Branan spoke on behalf of Citizens for a Clean Sky regarding burning of debris tn Collier County and the City of Naples. :ii'.'.i' She related since burning of Hurricane Andrew debris began there is considerably more dirt in the air and this problem will probably wot- if the County approves continued burning. County Manager Dorrtll stated the City has been burning under a declared state of emergency at the old horticultural landfill on Goodlette Road, for which they do not have a permit. He said the City leased an "Air Curtain" incinerator to burn this debris. He said there is a special act of the Legislature which says any solid waste Generated tn the County is property of the County Commission and if the city wants a permanent incinerator, permission has to be granted by the County Commission. He further stated that the City has not asked for any permit to continue burning. Comm/ssioller Constantine ~oved, seconded by Couissioner Matthews and carried unanimously, that County Manager Dorrtll write a letter to the City Council indicating the County Commission, as a matter of pollc~, is opposed to Incineration of solid waste, but would encourage .the City to work with the County to find another so/ut/on to their hortt~nlturml problems. (1602)* NANCY GERMAN REGARDING CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY - STAFF TO WORK WITH CBIA TO REVIHW SAFEGUARDS REGARDING STOCKPILED EXCAVATED MATERIAL AND MAKE RECOI~ENDATIONS THAT MAY BE INCORPORATED INTO THE EXCAVATION P~RMIT ORDINANCE AND REVIEW EXISTING ORDINANCES FOR ANY POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS Nancy German expressed her concern regarding the safety of constructions sites tn Collier County, due to the death of her 13 year . ~old son at a construction site nearly one year ago. Mrs. German said would like to work closely with Dick Clark and Tom Bartoe of ~!County Compliance Services to establish safeguards. Commissioner Matthews inquired as to which ordinances presently Page 5 ,~ .... January 19, 1993 regulate construction site safety. ?.i Community Development Services Administrator Frank Brutt explained -~.OSHA has regulations regarding stockpiling of material but there are no Collier County ordinances. Co,-~iseionar Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews and carried unanimously, that staff work with CBIA to review safeguards around stockpiled excavated ~aterial; make recommendations that may be Incorporated into the excavation permit ordinance and review existing :~i~.ordinancea for any possible tmproveBents. ~i~lte~ ;Ir8C2 CONSZDKRA~ZOR O~ THE HOMEleSS PLAN &S SUBMZ~D B~ ~ COUNTY'8 · ~ON:KT,,~E~ ADVISORY BOARD - ADOPTED Tom Olltff, Public Services Administrator, explained the original ..plan contained several issues which put financial, staffing and other obligations on the County. He advised the Homeless Advisory Board has revised the plan taking the burden of labor on itself as a committee and is committing to work with the Homeless Coalition to tackle the Problems of the homeless. He indicated that periodically the Committee will come back to the Board with reports and updates and may ask for assistance or direction on specific cases. Rev. John Lindell introduced the other members of the Homeless · .Advisory Board. He outlined the different sections of the plan and (Stated tn order to apply for grants from the government the approval ~'.of**the Board is necessary. The following people spoke regarding this item: Fred Zawtllnski Clifford A. Green Ed'Scheerer Gilbert Erlichman George Keller Walter Pierson Commissioner Norris commented that the vagrancy and trespass laws ~hould be more vigorously enforced. He stated it would be helpful if County looked at the experience of a sister city just south of Page 6 ., January 19, 1993 Tampa which adopted a similar homeless plan. He said it was found .'that when there is a tax on something, one gets ]ess of It, but when g is subsidized, one gets more of it. He indicated that what been done attracted the homeless tn great numbers to the downto~rn ".area which was being redeveloped to attract new business, therefore, '.[:;'~t was counterproductive to the redevelopment attempt. Commissioner Constantine disagreed, stating the plan as written ,:.:' now has no fiscal impact and the County is not subsidizing anything, i~.]:['? therefore, there is no cost to the County. Commissioner Constantine aoved, seconded by Coaisstoner Saunders i": and C~Lrr~ed by 3/2, (Co~a~ss~oners Norris and Volpe opposed) to accept . ~d adopt the 'Homeless Pi~ as eee Recessed: ~0:55 A.M. - Reconvened: 11:05 A.M. at which t~me ~ Clerk Guev~n replaced Deputy Clerk Warner (sos) Ite~ ~13B1 PETITION CU-92-13, ELIZABETH JASON CORPORATION, REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE ? OF THE RESIDENTIAL TOURIST (RT) ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW AN INGRHASE TO TH~ MAXIMUM HEIGHT LIMIT OF 100 FEET TO PERMIT A RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM OF 111 FEET 6 INCHES FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON TH]~ NEST SIDE OF SOUTH COLLIER BOULEVARD AND APPROXIMATELY 800 FEET NORTH OF WINTERBERRY DRIVE ON ~%RC0 ISLAND - DENIED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on December 27, 1992, as evldenced by Affidavit of Publication flled with .the Clerk, public hearing was opened. '~;. Planner Ray Bellows presented Petition cu-g2-13 explaining the .~' intent of this request is to allow an increase in the maximum building 'height of 100 feet, to permit a residential condominium whose height .' will be Ill feet, 6 Inches above the mean flood elevation. He said the petitioner proposes to build a 12 story, 36 unit residential con- domintum on a 3.32 acre site. Since the petitioner is planning to '.~.:- '< build upper scale and large size condominium units, he said, an additional 11 feet 6 inches is requested above the maximum building '-height. He remarked the larger units are perceived by the petitioner :~'i'to fill a void in this residential market segment. He noted the site ::!;.Was originally part of the Surf Club development to the south, and tn Page 7 January 19, 1993 · 1981 building permits were obtained for a ilS-foot, 13 story building that provided for 76 units, however, the project was never completed and the property was sold. He advised prior to the 1982 Zoning .'~j . Ordinance, the RT district allowed for a maximum height of 200 feet ,~ff~ and as a result, there are several structures along Collier Boulevard i /'~ that are 22 stories in height. In addition, he said, approximately ~:n. two-thirds of the buildings along Collier Boulevard are 12 stories or ~'~. higher. He reported the current Land Development Code (LDC) allows for increases In the maximum height In the RT District as long as it :'.!~.,.does not exceed 125 feet In height, and subject to the Conditional Use '- ;}:i'crtteria. He said it is Staff's opinion that this request will not .~.' .'. significantly alter the unified appearance, skyline of the neigh- - } borhood or significantly impact adjacent properties. He commented the property was granted a compatibility exemption as part of the Zoning Reevaluation Program which allowed the property to retain its current RT zoning classification and development standards. Therefore, he said, the property is allowed to have 86 hotel units or 53 residential .'units. He pointed out since the petitioner is only proposing to build .<.' 36 units, the plan Is consistent with the Growth Management Plan. He noted Staff has received five letters in opposition to this petition, however, the GCPG voted unanimously for approval, subject to Staff's stipulations and the addition of a three-foot pedestrian beach access easement along the required 10-foot buffer. He concluded with Staff's recommendation for approval of Petition CU-92-13. Commissioner Volpe asked what ts the purpose for increasing the ~i~hetght of this structure? · ~" Planner Bellows replied Increasing the height will allow the pett- -[.[:-'[ttoner to build a taller, thinner structure on the site with an addt- .al story. ".';' County Attorney Cuyler reminded the Board this is a quasi-Judicial /i<..proceedtng requiring all persons offering testimony to be under oath. Commissioner Saunders swore in all persons wishing to speak on :?.this Item. Page 8 January lg, 1993 Daniel Orlich with the Elizabeth Jason Corporation, reiterated several points made by Planner Bellows, stating his request is reaso- J~nable because two-thirds of the buildings in the area are 12 stories in height, and the property was previously approved for a 76 unit building at lB stories. He said approval of this petition will not set a future precedent, however, one has already been established. He recalled tn 1984 a variance was granted for the Crescent Beach pro- perty to allow an exception to build 14 stories instead of 10. He reported the reasons given were that the density would not increase and other neighboring buildings were that height or higher. The following people spoke regarding this item: . Bruce Anderson Emmett Bailey ~/,i'?" Joe Christy Herbert Wischnia ',Tmpe #~ ......... ::[. Deane Keith · Karen Larson Harry Cowin George Keller Mr. Orlich stated that while considering the purchase of this pro- perry, he requested and received information from County Staff on the development cf the subject land and the requirements for platting under the LDC. He provided the Board with a copy of a letter dated September 10, 1992, from John MadaJewski, Project Review Services Manager, which was tn response to that request. He noted it was determined that a subdivision was not required and that he could take title by metes and bounds. Therefore, he said, the decision was made ~to buy the subject property. He disputed comments made by the public speakers, concluding this request meets all the requirements of the LDC. Ken Baginski, Planning Services Manager, responding to comments made by several speakers, stated in Ordinance 82-2, the RT zoning district allowed for height up to 125 feet by Provisional Use. He said it was not required to get a variance. He stressed the subject petition is not a variance, it is a Conditional Use that provides for the additional height. He also mentioned the proposed project is one of the least dense lots to be developed on the beach, because the majority of the developments have taken the maximum densities allowed. Page 9 January 19, 1993 Co~mtselonsr Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Natth~w. and ~ c~rrt.d lum~i~o~sl¥, to close the public hearing. In response to Commissioner Volpe, John MadaJewskt, Project Review Services Manager, stated his letter of September 10, 1992, dealt with :'":'the existing parcel of land which Mr. Orltch was proposing to purchase for development. He said Staff looked at the matters as they related :to the metes and bounds parcel of record and could not find a basis to ¥ ~say that parcel, to be developed under a site development plan, .'.irequtred any platting. Referring to comments made by Bruce Anderson, he said tn 1990 a few slivers of land were swapped between abutting ' property owners to deal with a zoning anomaly. He communicated that · ~ action does not constitute a subdivision, because it dealt with land transferred between common property owners out of unplatted properties ,~,, .:';tn response to a private legal issue. Commissioner Norris stated he has not heard any compelling reasons t° allow the additional height on the subject building. He suggested ':": height restrictions were included In the LDO for Good reason, and the project should comply with those regulations. Conissioner Norris moved, seconded by Co---lsstoner Volpe ud ~;... carrie4 4/1 (Contsstoner Constuttne op~sed) to deny Petition . . f'~'~. ~-92-13. (e26) LITTL~ L~OU~ DONATION OF PROPERTY TO THE PARKS & RI~CREATION ~': D~PARTM~I~ - STAFF TO PURSUE OFFER AND REPORT BACK TO TH~ BOARD Commissioner Matthews explained she recently met with the Little League on their concerns regarding maintenance of .their Little League playing field. She relayed their request for the y to take over the maintenance. She noted at the time, she ;"'questioned whether the Board would be able to expend public dollars on ''private property, which resulted in an offer being made to donate the · .' land to the County with the following four stipulations: the County · '~.~' to maintain the property for Little League and Senior League ball Page 10 January 19, 1993 fields; the name of the park not be changed; the Little League to have '~' ,.. scheduling priorities for Little League programs; and should the '~:~.County fail to meet the above three stipulations, the property will ...'revert to the owner. Randal Sharpe, President of the Immokalee Little League, reported ~'[4!i:!. the League has been operating from donations from the community and ~; - concerned parents from its conception. He asked the Board to help in their efforts on behalf of the youth of Immokalee. Steve Price added there has been previous discussion concerning the County acquiring a vacant piece of property adjacent to the Little League field. He noted that parcel is for sale and will not be donated to the County. He said the subject property could be used ~..?year-round as a park facility through the Parks & Recreation Department. He indicated the County has maintained other Little League facilities in other areas of the County, and they would like the same advantage. .Commissioner Saunders questioned if the Board takes title of the , can that be done subject to the proposed stipulations, to which County Attorney Cuyler replied in the affirmative. ~'~ ' Commissioner Saunders suggested the Board refer this donation of · :~ ' land to the Parks a Recreation Advisory Board for analysis. Commissioner Matthews communicated the purpose for bringing this to the Board's attention so quickly is the Little League scheduling. i::.She said their season begins in early March and both fields need irri- : gation, re-sodding and re-claying of the infields. She indicated Tom Olliff has told her the work could be accomplished in approximately two weeks, and the re-sodding requires three to four weeks to set before it can be played on. She asked the Board to conceptually approve this donation so that Staff can move forward with the necessary work to meet the March deadline. Commissioner Volpe agreed with Commissioner Saunders that this issue should be reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board '<~.regardlng how it will fit into an overall plan for providing these Page ! 1 January 19, 1993 :ypes of recreational facilities to the community. He said although is a wonderful idea, he is concerned with not having any Lnfor- ~matton regarding the costs involved. He indicated he is not prepared ";" to conceptually approve this item at this meeting. Tom Olltff, Public Services Administrator, remarked this item must be heard again by the Board in any case, because the deed for the pro- perry must be accepted by the Board. He said at that time, the Board would be asked to make a final decision. He noted an estimate of $§,000 for annual maintenance costs has been made for the two fields. commented Staff ts interested in this offer because of the lack of [<facilities in the Immokalee area and it will also increase the tnven- i.?tory of parks. He asked that the Board direct Staff to pursue this subject further. Co~iaaioner Matthews moved, seconded by Couisstoner Norris and carried unanimously, to direct Staff to pursue the donation of the :..>subject proper~y, investigate the coats Involved ~d return to the · e. ~W Clerk Hoff~ replaced ~ty Clerk Guevtn at this time :(2380) '~OFERATXON~tNA~I~T PROCEDURE FOR TH~ COLLIER COUNTY RACQUET CL~ - ~ O~TXON~ TO BE CO~I~D WI~ PRO~SED ~E IN--E; ST~ ?" .TO ~ ~ ~SOL~ION ~ ~E IN--SE ~ CONSIDE~TION TO BE ¥<' " Public Services Administrator Olliff explained that this item is a · follow up as requested by the Board for additional information rela- :rive to operation options for the Collier County Racquet Club. ~P'~'.' Mr. Olliff called attention to the Executive Summary, which con- rained a report prepared by the Parks and Recreation Department, outlining four options of various ways to manage the Club. :' Mr. Olltff indicated that the first option ts to continue the operations as a staff run facility. He reported that the !f~ctlIt¥ is currently being subsidized by the County providing ,000-$2§,000 from the general fund. Page 12 January 19, 1993 Mr. Olltff reported that Options III and III-A deal with ... contracted management of the facility. He indicated that the only ¥~: i' . difference between these two options is whether the County has fee .,': ~ control over the concessionaire or that he have the free reins to :~::~ establish the fees as he believes the market can bear Mr. Olliff stated that the last option relates to the sale of the "~" facility and assuming that the County has a certain obligation to con- ::. ttnue to provide tennis in the Marco Island area, the construction of a similar facility would be necessary. He noted that this would not be the best option to pursue. Mr. Olltff announced that staff recommends the authorization to "i"seek bids, determine the interest in the community, and compare a staff run facility to that of a contract operated facility. Commissioner Constantine cited that Option III allows for the ~ operations to be very similar but at less expense to the County. He ~:; indicated that the same services would be provided to the residents of !...'Marco Island, without at a $30,000 loss to Collier operating per year :~-:CoUnty. i.[. ~. Commissioner Volpe questioned why the policies at this facility '~ ,are different from those of other community facilities. County ~'~ · Manager Dorrill replied that prior to the County acquiring this faci- i!!~ ' lit¥ nine years ago, it existed as a private for profit business. He indicated that the County purchased this facility prior to having a completely developed park plan. He explained that the level of ameni- ties are different, in that there is a pro shop, air conditioned indoor racquet ball courts and memberships are sold for this facility. The following persons spoke with regard to this item: Gil Mueller Loretta Dominy w/consensus statements Barbara Hoaglan Lorene Bonard Sandy Lee Brad Bstes Commissioner Saunders remarked that another option which may be ~'~'considered would be to continue in-house management, but increasing Page 13 January 19, 1993 :the fees. ~' In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Olltff recalled that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee fa proposal recommended that the annual membership fee be increased $25 per year and the fee for court play time increased by $1.00 per hour. Commissioner Saunders offered for consideration Option 1-A which would maintain the current management, but increasing the annual mem- bership fee by $25 per year and fees for court time increased by $1.00 per hour. He questioned whether this increase would present a problem for anyone. Ms. Loretta Dominy replied that she does not believe that type of increase would substantially affect anyone. Commissioner Constantine indicated that the idea of soliciting proposals is not binding and allows the business community to provide ?-. ~?i' .di f f stent options. Constantine ~crved, to accept staff's recommendation a cost effective ~er.

Mr. Archibald reported that staff was to address the issue of ' improving the intersection of Carson and Lake Trafford Road and the costs associated with same from a dollar standpoint and capacity standpoint. In addition, he recalled that staff was asked to confirm i~[;i: Level of Service standards and the type of capacity tha": would be .:: created at cost tn comparison to improving Lake Trafford Road. ~;~.': Mr. Archibald advised that the cost for the intersection improve- '),'/.monte to extend the westbound right and the southbound right lane (-'~Would be $42,998.51. Mr. Archibald stated that the alternative relatlve to the Level of '~ ~ S~tvtc~ ts to build Westclox Road and remove some of the traffic from [:[.,[: . Lake Trafford Road, or to put the money into Lake Trafford Road. He .%' '.lndlcated that more capacity for the dollar would be created by building Westclox Road. He Indicated that the approved AUIR Page 15 January 19, 1.993 .~'dssignated a service volume of 11,600 vehicles per day, however, the latest peak season traffic counts reflect 1.2,996 vehicles per day which ts beyond Level of Service "D". Mr. Archibald advised that staff has revised the report and is recommending that authorization be given to proceed with a contract to the low bidder, APAC, but to delete Carson Road and follow through with the construction of Westclox Road. Mr. Archibald noted that there are three options to be considered: addition of the utility work to be subsidized by the Immokalee Water/Sewer District with the condition that this would only be included if staff is able to conclude an agreement with them. He remarked that the intersection improvements are primarily drainage in '~"-': up to 6.2 acres for the appropriate mitigation. Co~tsstoner Matthew~ moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders to ~d APAC-Flortda the construction contract for the extension of COSt. He divulged that these dollars would be well spent. He pointed out that the resolution as drafted, addresses the need to mitigate the scrub Jay impact which is estimated at $75,000 to purchase easements ~tcl~x Road and that Resolution 93-16 be adopted. Commissioner Volpe stated that he cannot support the motion since staff is beginning to prioritize and defer projects, without seeing this project in the context with other programs that must be under- taken in the urban area and facing a $51 million shortfall. Upon call for the question, the motion carried 3/2 (Contsatonsrs :Volp~ ~nd Constantine opposed).

He divulged that staff has completed the 1992 traffic counts. J~,~ ' . Mr. Archibald called attention to a handout titled "Road Corridor · "~' Growth Rate vs. LOS Relationship (For Typical 4-Lane Roadway)" in addition to Page 3 of the Executive Summary, depicting Transportation ~,L: Services Division Capital Projects funding needs vs. revenue. Mr. Archibald reported that in staff's listing, any projects nearing a saturation factor of "l" are those roads that need to be constructed. He indicated that the first grouping of "Design & Construction" reflect projects that need to be built within the first five years. Mr. Archibald stated that there is a large listing of projects, depending on the rate of growth, that may fall into the out years of 1996-99. He divulged that these projects fall into the second grouping titled "Design, Advanced Right-of-way Acquisition & J ' Environmental Mitigation." Mr. Arch/bald advised that staff is attempting to defer the maxi- :!~,~,-i mum amount of projects, deferring up to $59 million worth of work. :..u Discussions ensued with regard to the various projects, as b.detalled by Mr. Archibald. ~ The following persons spoke with regard to this item: :.{.

TANE MANUFACTURINQ C0~PANY IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,341.00 George Archibald, Transportation Servtces Administrator, explained · the cost analysis of lease versus purchase of the refueler truck · referring to the handout given to the Board. Co~itslioner Norris moved, seconded by Couissioner Matthews to accept the low bid on a new refueler truck. Commissioner Constantine aired his reservations with purchasing a truck versus leasing one. He related his experience when his com- pany supplied and sold the fuel at the Marco Airport and believes the County can save the entire $40,000.00 by having the fuel supplier pro- vide a truck without charge. Commissioner Saunders Inquired of Commissioner Constantine if the Page 18 January 19, 1993 'firm that supplied fuel to the Marco Airport was a large firm and therefore would have warranted the free delivery. Commissioner Constantine explained the firm was large and serviced more than Marco Airport. County Manager Dorr~l] pointed out fuel costs the County $.97 a gallon now, but if a supplier were to deliver free, the cost would probably be more than $1.10 a gallon. He suggested the bid be re-bid Providing a quote for a free delivery truck, realizing there is really no such thing as a "free truck". Commiss~oner Volpe inquired the status of negotiations with DNR. Discussion ensued with regard to whether or not to purchase this vehicle due to the ongoing negotiations with the State and the possi- bility of other parties ~nterested in purchasing the Marco Airport.

Mr. Lorenz outlined the Information tn the executive summary explaining differences in dirty and clean MRF's and residential and commercial Curbstde recycling. Discussion ensued with regard to who should provide proposals to expand the existing residential curbstde recycling program. The following person spoke to this item: Chris itraton for Brad Cornell Mr. Lorenz advised the necessity of receiving proposals for both clean and dirty MRF's from different contractors in order for staff to do a through evaluation for long range planning to achieve the 30~ State mandated recycling requirement. ~smioner Constantine ~oved, seconded by Couissloner Saunders, th&t the options contained in the executive summary be approved including tte~ under the tarplementation strategy and that Staff pro- vide ~rs to all questions the Board may have concerning clean and dtrt~ Commissioner Matthews Inquired about the secondary market for 'clables. Mr. Lorenz explained tf the market does not take the recycled pro- ducts after one year it gets buried in the landfill, called "value added garbage" and this ts happening in much of the country. ~ ¢&ll for the question, the motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Volpe requested clarification of the request to seek a proposal only from Waste Management to expand the curbside recycling .'program. Assistant County Attorney David Weigel indicated the proposals ,/. Page 20 January 19, 1993 !'Should come only from Waste Management. Mr. Fahey noted a clause in the contract which states ~f the Board does not care for a particular proposal, proposals from other cam- pantes than the Franchisee may be obtained. However, Mr. Fahey felt the proposal given by the Franchisee was fair compared to the market tn Florida, additionally, the item must come before the Board for a public hearing before a final decision is made.

'' ~Q~ST ~R ~ DI~CTION IN ~E D~ELO~ OF THE NA~ Bill Lorenz, Environmental Services Administrator, recalled this item was originally heard by the Board on December 8, 1992, and Staff was requested t° address a few issues and return at a future meeting. He provided the Board with a handout which depicts eight Natural ' :i' Resources Protection Areas (NRPA) recommended by the Environmental ;]::i -, Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAB). Pie reported EPTAB was formed :3 as an advisory board to the Board of County Commissioners to guide and assist the County in developing its overall natural resources program, :"~':' specifically with items such as the NRPA Program. Ne indicated the >/ ~.' Board also asked Staff to summarize existing State and federal protec- .,'.'/ : tion mechanisms, and that information is listed as "Attachment A" to '* the Executive Summary. He advised that Staff and EPTAB are very sen- .i'j. ettive to any duplication of effort, noting Goal 14 of the !~.:~ .. Conservation Coastal Management Element states the County shall avoid ;; ~'iunnecessary duplication of existing regulatory programs. He reported .'' tn developing the NRPA Program, Staff will be applying the princlples Page 21 January 19, 1993 and guidelines of that Goal. He referred to "Attachment D" of the Executive Summary, and stated some of the possible NRPA policies, such as Mitigation Banking, identify the areas where a mitigation bank may be helpful, not only for private property development, but also as the County proceeds with its capital projects. He noted at this point in time, there is no fiscal impact associated with Staff's recommendation to proceed with development of the NRPA Program. He pointed out at a later date, if the County becomes involved in certain tax incentives, Staff will have to provide the Board with the fiscal impact of having a tax incentive program. He reported the Board has the option of req-desting an amendment to remove the NRPA Program from the Growth Management Plan. He advised there is no specific Statutory require- ment that a NRPA Program be contained within the Growth Management Plan, however, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has indicated that the Plan was adopted as a total entity and if the County were to .-~!' remove this program, Staff would have to supply them with information ~i... regarding where additional environmental protection would be provtded ;~/i:~ in other areas. Bob Blanchard, Long Range Planning Director, explained the NRPA Program is also important to the County for future land use planning, and especially long range planning. He said the advantage of the NRPA Program to long range planning will be the ability to identify those areas of Collier County where special concerns need to be registered as the County continues to grow. He stated there are also advantages to current planning as developments are reviewed on a case- by-case basis. He advised in many cases, the NRPA's would have speci- development guidelines that are adopted in the Growth Management Plan similar to what is in the Golden Gate Master Plan, where Staff can review individual development proposals. He added a key point is that putting NRPA's on the Future Land Use Map, and by recognizing there are areas in the County where there may be physical and regula- tory constraints, will serve as an information tool for existing and future property owners. He said it raises a red flag to indicate Page 22 January 19, 1993 there is something more to be considered rather than only recognizing the densities that may be permitted. He urged the Board to continue '/':.Jthis process. David Maehr, Chairman of EPTAB, reviewed the process through which EPTAB became involved in this program. He said Collier County is uni- que among Florida counties in its environmental and ecological make- up. He said there is no existing plan anywhere tn the State that will currently protect the long range future of this County's unique environment. He communicated the NRPA Program is designed to imple- ment a variety of mechanisms that will protect County wellftelds, uni- que and endangered habitats and wildlife species and current agricultural practices. He said in many cases, NRPA's will overlap i? ongoing by governmental private organi- conservation efforts other and zattons, but will cost the County little or nothing while providing a ~i- needed level of local support in these larger efforts. He concluded ~-~' EPTAB is unanimous in its supporting the development of a NRPA Program ~'. for Collier County. The following people spoke regarding this item: Bettte Gulacsik Gary Beardsley Virginia Corkran Glenn Simpson Chris Straton Bill Branan In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Lorenz asked the Board to direct Staff to proceed with identifying the areas and their boun- daries; Staff to work with EPTAB to define what the appropriate pro- tection mechanisms should be in terms of policy statements for each of ' the areas; direct EPTAB to workshop with the public and property ' ,' owners their proposals and define a position for each NRPA; and return to the Board with recommendations for adoption into the Future Land Use Element. Co~lssioner Volpe moved, to direct Staff to continue with the Page 23 Commissioner Saunders asked that the motion be amended to include e request that Staff evaluate the transfer of development rights January 19, 1993 program as part of the NRPA Program. !';-' Co~m/~ioner Volpe a~ended the ~t~on to ~nclude the a~ve, ~ ~e~ ~ C~ss~oner Sanders. Co~ssioner Norris communicated he is not convinced that Collier County needs this extra layer of protection for the environment. He indicated he would be in favor of a suggestion made by Glenn Simpson that the Board have a workshop on this subject. Commissioners Constantine and Matthews concurred with Commissioner Norris. Upon call for the question, the motion failed 2/3 (Coltssionere It was the consensus that Mr. Lorenz will meet with Board members to schedule a workshop on this subject.
