ComaA~loner Ha. as
c~rl~ ~i~ly, to continue the
~te to the Collier C~W
Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on Hay
28, 1992, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Hlllta~ Lorenz, Environmental Services Administrator, discussed that
the Coastal Zone Management Plan is a response to various objectives
and policies in the conservation of the Coastal Hanagement Element and
is designed to provide further management and guidelines In the
coastal area to protect and preserve our coastal resources. He Indi-
cated that the current plan is not self-executing, but instead it pro-
rides for a aeries of recommendations for programs and regulations
that Staff will work on and bring back to the Board for separate
approval and implementation.
Hr. Lorenz referred to a memo dated June 2, 1992 and Its attach-
=ants which relate to Issues arising from public conunent at the Nay
20, X992 public hearing.
Hr. Lorenz discussed the two t~pes of costs: one for future moni-
toring or operational programs, and the second for regnlationa for
individual properties - which would be borne from Individual property
o~ner8 or additional costs in terms of Staff to implement those
regulations. He reiterated that these have not been drafted and will
June 3, 1992
be brought back to the Board. He read from page one of the attach-
~ents and related the preliminary costs estimates. He noted on page
two of the attachments that Staff recommends that these changes be
specifically added to the Coastal Zone Management Plan.
Mr. Lorenz noted that nowhere tn the Growth Management Plan does
it state that there will be a Coastal Zone Management Plan, but it
does provide for · number of objectives and policies that discuss an
undeveloped coastal barrier beach management program, which the
Coastal Zone Management Plan addresses.
Mr. Lorenz referred to page 6 concerning changes tn sea level,
and verified that the sea level has been rising, and the uncertainty
how fast will it rise tn the future and by how much, and there ia
no definite answer which is why it was not addressed In the Plan,
~ Other than,
'Staff will provide information to the public concerning
~,' . . this Issue."
Mr. Lorenz asked that the Board recognize that the Plan serves as
focal point for all the policies and regulations that the County and
have concerning the development of the Coastal Zones. He
stressed that certain policies are redundant, but they are required by
· the State and confirm the State's position.
Concerning shorebird protection, he confirmed that Staff's recom-
mndation is to add a policy in that consideration should be given to
' the protection and preservation of bird feeding, nesting and resting
areas that will be Impacted by dredge and fill activities, and that
the tieing of dredge and fill activities shall be coordinated with
bird and ssa turtle nesting behavior to mtntmlze Impacts, especially
any threatened endangered species present.
Mr. Lorenz noted that an additional component was added to Policy
3.13, which is 'E' on Page 9, as well as the following additions
~nd/or strikeouts: Page 9, Policy 3.23, Policy 3.24, and Policy 3.26.
Referring to Page 11 concerning Hurricane Plans for Marinas, Mr.
Lorenz reco~aended that the language be reviewed for the Conservation
Page 3
June 3 lg92
thl Ooaetal Management Element and noted that Collier County
:" Management Personnel are the individuals who will be reviewing these
Plane. He recommended that an additional sentence be added to Policy
4.13 which would state:
"The County shall adopt standards for the preparation of hurricane
plans."
Nr. Lorenz indicated that the standards would be adopted as part
of an ordinance and provide the community with information.
Referring to Page 12, Hr. Lorenz Indicated that a letter has been
r®cetved from people In the Seagate Subdivision, concerning the Policy
restricting their access to the Gulf of Mexico.
Referring to Page 13, Mr. Lorenz suggested the language be removed
and the following be inserted tn Its place tn ,3:
"A no-wake ~arked passage shall be provided between Clam Pass and
the Seagate Subdivision."
Referring to Page 14 regarding Beach Access and Parking, Mr.
~°rens noted Recommend&eton 1.13.
Concerning Page 16, regarding the 5~ limit of shore parallel
Structures, Commissioner Shanahan co~nented that on Marco Island there
have been problems with the number of structures, chlckee huts, etc.
that clutter the beach, and mentioned that people cannot walk the
b~&ch on any sort of straight line. He concurred that 5~ is not too
~eetrlcttve.
Regarding Coamtal Habitat Protection as noted on Page 18. Mr.
.Lorenz mentioned that the preservation standards for these particular
able&ts ars addressed In the Orowth Hanagement Plan, and therefore
the Coastal Zone Management Plan addresses them as well, since they
exist within the Coastal Zone. He added that Staff ts also working on
~;' · Habitat Protection Ordinance.
Regarding Seagrase Protection on Page 20, Mr. Lorenz expressed
~;{h&t when the Ordinance is drafted, land activities will have to be
"ePeciflcmll¥ regulated with regard to protection of seagrasses, as
there wtl! be a cause and effect of a particular land activity that
will cause negative Impact on seagrass beds.

Regarding Policy 4.83 concerning Beach Nourishment Monitoring, Mr.
Lorenz noted that It has been amended, with the intent to conform with
e l,ttng p,r, it req irs,ent, and State requirement,.
Regarding Policy 4.68 within the gxecuttve Summary, Page 31, con-
cernlng Docking Facilities, Mr. Lorenz Indicated that there was dif-
ficulty tn determining what a commercial project is, and he
recommended that the language be amended to read:
"All docking facilities except for individual residential lots
shall not be sited in seagrass areas."
Mr. Lorenz noted that by doing this it removes all reference to a
commercial project, and the intent la to protect the seagrass facili-
ties in larger projects where there la opportunity to move dock~ng
facilities and avoid the seagrass areas.
Martha Howell, Assistant County Attorney, spoke concerning ter-
linology within the Plan. She advised that 'shall' indicates ~
itel ~1 ~andatory and tha~ Staff will draft ~ ordinance or resolution
to adopt the reco~endatAon. She advised that wherever 'will' or
'~a¥' is used in a recommendation, It will be changed to 'shall'

nection between Venetian Bay and Clam Bay if the Pass should close

Commissioner Saundere stated that there will be 50 or more po/t-
Clea and staff will need to come back to the Commission with ordinan-
ces to implement same. In addition, he indicated that staff will be
advising the Commission as to the costs associated with the drafting
of these ordinances and this will give the Board the opportunity to
evaluate the costs to the community in terms of compliance.
The following person spoke regarding this item:
Dudley Goodlette
·nd c~T~edunanL~n~lF, to clo~e the public hearing.
County Attorney Cuyler commented Assistant County Attorney Martha
Howell will amend the sections where it is appropriate to replace
references to "wi/l", "might" and "should", with the word "shall". He
advised those changes do not change the fact that it ia at the Board's
discretion to adopt or not adopt the document.
Commissioner Saunders suggested the document prepared by Staff be
considered a directive to Staff to prepare the appropriate ordinances
tO ~apleaent the types of policies outlined tn the document. He indi-
cated the document itself will not be a mandate to Staff in terms of
the specific percentages. He said Staff should be directed to priori-
tize the policies in the document and prior to drafting ordinances to
Implement those policies, Staff should determine the cost tn terms of
i'i:i 'S~&f~ time and consultants to develop the ordinances and also work
with the community to determine the impacts on property owners and the
costs to the community to comply with the proposed re~ulatione. He
proposed once Staff has received sufficient public information, the
ordinances should be brought back to the Board of County Commissioners
for approval. ' .
