Agenda 12/12/2017 Item #11B12/12/2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve targeted reductions in the Collier County Growth Management Department Development Services Fee Schedule related to application and plan review fees in the event of a Board of County Commissioners (Board)-declared disaster, and to apply the targeted reductions retroactively to the fees identified in the petition related to the Lee Williams fire presented to the Board at the October 10, 2017 meeting under item 11G and to homeowners impacted by Hurricane Irma. _____________________________________________________________________________________ OBJECTIVE: To implement a limited-timeframe 50% reduction of application and plan review fees for residential and residential mobile home repairs as defined by the Florida Building Code and outlined in the Collier County Growth Management Department (GMD) Development Services Fee Schedule (Fee Schedule) in the event of a Board-declared disaster and as directed by the Board. CONSIDERATIONS: Acting on the directive issued by the Board at the October 10, 2017 meeting, item 11H, GMD staff worked with the the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) subcommittee, along with the Executive Director of the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA), on November 17, 2017 at a publicly advertised meeting to create and review a post declaration disaster fee schedule. The fee schedule was approved unanimously and was scheduled for presentation and consideration at the regularly scheduled December 6, 2017 full DSAC meeting. On December 6, 2017, the DSAC approved the request. The fee schedule provides for a 50% reduction of the application and plan review fees for repairs related to a Board-declared disaster affecting Collier County residents. The intent is to offer financial re lief to victims experiencing damage resulting in a threat to life and/or safety in their primary dwelling. This fee schedule reduction applies only to primary residential structures, excluding damages to outbuildings and accessory structures. The provision also excludes multi-family dwellings consisting of more than two units except those defined as a townhouse under the Florida Building Code Residential Code, which can be multiple units. The disaster relief fee reductions would apply to permit application and review fees as specified in section OO in the attached Fee Schedule and include application fees for building permits, as well as fees for structural, electrical, plumbing and gas, mechanical, and planning review. In addition, a permit fee reduction would be applied to the repair and full replacement of a mobile/manufactured home. Eligibility: Eligibility for fee reductions would be contingent upon the applicant providing the following: 1) Proof of ownership and occupancy as a primary residence 2) Damage assessment report from property’s insurance adjuster, Collier County Building Official, or authorized FEMA/FDEM representative 3) Photographs depicting the declared disaster-related damage 4) Attestation that damage was caused during the declared disaster, signed by the owner 5) Owner verification that no other monetary aid from the Board has been or will be applied in relation to disaster relief Timeframe: 12/12/2017 The window for the fee reductions would be 180 days from the date of disaster declaration by the Board. In addition, it is proposed that there would be an additional 90-day period beyond the initial 180 days for application during which an eligible resident who paid the full fees could apply for a refund of 50% of the applicable application and plan review fees. These targeted reductions would also apply retroactively to the fees identified in the petition related to the Lee Williams fire presented to the Board at the October 10, 2017 meeting under item 11G and to homeowners impacted by Hurricane Irma. FISCAL IMPACT: Extrapolating from initial figures, approximately 2,000 residential homes may have been impacted by Hurricane Irma. Based on an average permit cost of $450 for permitted repairs, the disaster relief fee reduction could result in an approximate $450,000 reduction of income primarily to Fund 113 (the “Building” fund) and to a lesser extent, Fund 131 (the “Land Development” fund). Preparations will be made during the budget process to allocate this funding as a separate reserve line item in the FY19 budget. It should be noted that so long as Fund 113 and Fund 131 reserves are available to support this program, no General Fund dollars would be used to support the proposed fee reductions. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for Board approval. - SAS RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution amending the Collier County Growth Management Department Development Services Fee Schedule to include a Disaster Permit Fee Relief program that reduces application and plan review fees by 50% for residential and residential mobile home repairs as defined by the Florida Building Code for a period of 180 days following a Board declaration of a disaster, as directed by the Board, and allowing for a 90-day period provision beyond the 180 days where an eligible resident paid the full fees within the initial 180-day period, and to apply the targeted reductions retroactively to the fees identified in the petition related to the Lee Williams fire presented to the Board at the October 10, 2017 meeting under item 11G and to homeowners impacted by Hurricane Irma.

This is the last page of the Growth Management Department, Development Services Fee Schedule 1011012017 EXECUTIVE ST]MMARY Recommendation to direct the County Manager to deny the request for refunds for the permitting fees paid by two wildlands fire victims, totaling $4,772.27,from the General Fund. OBJECTIVE: To direct the County Manager to deny the request for refi:nds for the permitting fees paid by two wildlands fire victims, totaling $4,772.27, fiom the General Fund. CONSIDERATIONS: Dunng the Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting on September 26, 2017, agenda item 64 under the public petition, the Board directed the County Manager to bnng back an agenda item for consideration regarding the refund of permitting fees paid by two wildlands fire victims. The properties involved in the public petition are as follows: Laurence and Peggy Le Buff 5000 Le BuffRoad, Naples, FL 34106 Square Footage: (Existing Home) 971 sq. ft. Square Footage: (Replacement Home) l ,7 l8 sq. ft. Permit Number: PRBD201 70729575 Total permitting fees paid $2,395.42 Jim Kurth 4895 Le Buff Road, Naples, FL 34106 Square Footage: (Existing Home) 1,902 sq. ft. Square Footage: (Replacement Home) 2,6)9 sq. ft. Permit Number: PRBD2O I 70729583 Total permrtting fees paid 52,376.85 The subject properties are included in the attached OfIice of Agricultural Law Enforcement Case Master Report 17-912, which includes property descriptions and comments on fire damage. The report conhrms that the above listed properties, along with various out buildings, a boat and trailer and small vehicles (all- terrain vehicle, golf cart and 2 wheeled trailers) were completely consumed by the wildlands fire. Staff is unaware of insurance coverages or claims for either of the properties. Fees collected for building and development permits are utilized to fund the full cost of operation for the majority of the Growth Management Department, Development Services element. Fees collected for permitting and inspection services performed are considered to be non-refundable. A decision to approve this request would set precedence for future refund requests, which could include large projects, such as the YMCA project which incurred major fire damage and the permitting fees totaling $182,991.99. Future approvals of this nahrre could result in significant costs to the taxpayers of Collier County. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact consists of permitting fees, totaling $4,772.27, which will be refunded from the General Fund. However, the precedence of this request may have potentially large fiscal repercussions for the County's General Fund. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no groMh management plan impact associated with this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attomey, raises no legal issue, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK Packet Pg. 315 tot10t20t7 RECOMMENDATION: To direct the County Manager to deny the request for refunds for the permitting fees paid by two wildlands fire victims, totalirtg$4,772.27, fiom the General Fund.

The Florida Forest Service assigned incident number 2017-17-0088 and named it Lee Williams Road (11). A review of the weather conditions reported by the Florida torest Service revealed that on March 5, 2017, the winds at the Caloosahatchee Forestry Office were from the ENE at 18mph, the temperature was 77 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 38%. Fire Readiness was at a Level 2. The acreage ofthe fire at initialcontact by FFS was 33 acres. Wind conditions and dry fuels quickly increased the size to several hundred aqes On 03/1^212017, the total acreage ofthe fire was 7,230 acres. lnvertiEation On O3/o712077,1 arrived at the scene. An incident command cent€r had been established at 8075 Lely Cultural Parkwa, Naples, Florida. I contacted the Florida Forest Service to inform them of my presence and to advise that I would be the primary lnvestiSator on the case. I was briefed on the incident by tFS Park Ranger, William Muirhead. I followed Ranger Muirhed to the suspected origin area, located at 5700 Lee Williams Rd., Naples, FL 34117. I then exited my vehicle and began my investiSation by walking the perimeter of the possible origin area Fire indicators and weather conditions revealed that the fire moved in a west-southwest direction. An examination of charrinS, protection and foliage freeze in the burned area led to the possible area of oritin ofthe fire appearing to be located on lhe prope.ty. The head fire moved west from this location, iumped Lee Williams Road, and continued moving west. The fire burned down a barbed wire fence on the propeny as it moved west and crossed a chain-link fence to the south. Strong winds at the time of the fire aided in the fir€ moving and spreading quickly. Charring was evident on most of the trees up to at least 20 ft. or more, indicating that the fire grew in strength from the area of origin No ignition sources, accelerants, or evidence of arson was located at the scene. There was no lightning reported in the area on the date of the fire and the fire was not near a railway. A power pole was located just outside the burned area, but it was not damaged. .9 , 'E o I o o- o I E Packet Pg. 330 The evident charring and protection on the palm and pine trees in the area, foliage freeze and evident backing fire indicate that area of origin is in the northeastern area of the burned area on the property on O3lOBl2O77, Lts. Hochuli and Raulerson met me at the fire scene and conducted an oriSin and cause investigation. Their findings were also consistent with my original findings which is a probable origin area on the northeastern side of the property located at 5700 Lee Williams Road. A search of the area of origin area was again conducted, but no ignition sources could be located. On O3l1Ol2O77, FFS Rangers Fischer, Garcia and Nicoletti accompanied Lt. Hochuli and I to the area of origin They were the first ranSers to respond to the fire. RanSer Garcia stated that the area to the south of the area of origin was already burned when he arrived on scene, however, the property at 5700 Lee Williams Rd. was fully involved. The Rangers further advised the same south area on the properiy in question had burned about a year p.ior and may not have had much fuel, making it burn more quickly. Ranger Garcia began his suppression efforts by cutting a line around the burning area which included the propeny at 5700 and to the south of the property. He then began cutting a line from Lee Williams Rd. to the west beginning just north of the 5700 Lee williams Rd. property gate. The rangers stated that fire was burnint at a hiSh rate when they arrived and had already.rossed Lee Williams Rd. to the west and was moving at a hi8h rate of speed. lnterviews and Damaae Assessment On 03lO7 /2077,lnr.

An inspection of the property showed approximately 50yds of barbed wire fence and poles destroyed. Damage estimated at S1,000.00. On 319/2O7? , lnvestitators Hopkins and Kohler were assitned to conduct damage assessments and scene documentation of additional damage incurred by the wild fire For further details regarding their damage assessments, see attached supplemental reports Conclusions No i8nition sources were found in or around the area of origin of the fire. There was no lightning reponed in the area on o3lo5l2l77, and the area of oriSin is not near any railroad tracks. There is one powerline pole next to the burned area, but it was undamaged. No witnesses to the fire stanin8 have been located and no persons were observed in the area on the date of the fire. However, human causes cannot be ruled out. HiEh winds, dry conditions and plentiful fuel caused the fire to burn quickly and move rapidlY from east to west-southwest and jump several lines established by the FFS. An investiSation of the fire scene, burn indicators and weather conditions conclude that the area of origin of the fire is most likely located on the northeastern side near the driveway and gate area located at 5700 Lee Williams Rd., Naples, FL 34117, map coordinates Lal26'7'47", Lon 81;34;51". This is a vacant lot owned by Hugh House. The cause of this fire is undetermined.

Thomas Raulerson Lee Williams Road Fire On 318/2077 I was requested by my chain of command to assist lnv. Feiner with a fire origin and cause investigation in Collier County. The fire occurred in or around the Picayune Strand State Forest and was assigned Florida Forest Service (FFS) number 2017-17-0088. The address for the origin of the fire was relayed to me as 5700 Lee Williams Rd. Naples, FL. On the same date at approximately 11:00 am I arrived at 5700 Lee Williams Rd. I approached the area from the south on Lee Williams Road and stopped at the edge of the burned area. There I met with lnv. Feiner and Lt. Hochuli. We discussed the facts and circumstances related to the fire and weather conditions on 315/2077 , the date of the fire. FFS reported that at the time the fire was reported the winds were out of the ENE at 18mph and the relative humidity was 38%. A check of the Florida Automated Weather Network historical data showed that the ENE winds with speeds ranging from 17 to 27 mph were present for most ofthe day on 3/517017. From Lee Williams Road I looked east and was able to observe approximately a third of an acre that had burned. This area was bordered on the west by Lee Williams Road. The south side property was bordered by a chain link fence and power line that paralleled the property line. The east side of the burned area was bordered by unburned vegetation. On the north side of the fire was a path/driveway for enterinB and exiting the property from Lee Williams Road. The entrance from Lee Williams to the property was gated. During Fire suppression activities FFS firefighters had cut in a plow line around the entire burned area at 5700 Lee Williams Road. I entered the burned area from Lee Williams along the south side of the burn. As I walked to the east I observed burn patterns, charring and freezing that would indicate I was in the area of a flanking fire. As I continued to the east I observed the power pole, carrying the powerline, was well clear of the burned area to the east and showed no signs of damage or arcing. As I proceeded, I began to turn to the north transitioning to the heel of the fire. All indicators showed this to be an area of backing fire. I continued around the fire and as I approached the driveway on the north side of the fire the indicators again revealed a flanking fire. As lfollowed the driveway toward Lee Williams road, lentered an area were the intensity of the fire was very low. I conducted a closer examination of this area. This area had a thick layer of pine needles that burned only on the top layer of needles. lf the ground in this area was disturbed it revealed unburned fuel. This burned area was outside of the line cut in by FFS. I followed it north for approximately 20 feet to the center of the driveway. On the driveway was a spot approximately 18 inches in diameter, where the debris on the ground was almost completely consumed. This spot was about 15 feet from the entrance gate to the property. When standing on the north side of the driveway, behind the burned area there appears to be a "V" pattern that burned to the south to the area of the main fire. I was able to determine that this area is in the area of origin but it is unclear if this area burned before or after the plow line was cut in by FFS personnel. This area of ori8in is consistent with a low intensity fire that o E .9 o oE !t =o ooo E"q .E o.L oE o o€ o o oo Eo o.c coo N(o @ t-$(o @ F IIIoo.oo t\,o I 6t t\ q o EEo G Packet Pg. 343 burned from this area of oriBin to the South, 20 to 30 feet, until finding sufficient fuel to flare up and have the prevailing ENE winds cause the fire to spot over Lee Williams Road. After spotting over the road the fire created a head fire that continued to burn to the WSW. A thorough search of the origin area was conducted and no evidence of an ignition source was located. Based on investigative findings, equipment use, normal human activity nor intentional lighting of the fire can be ruled out as a cause of this fire. Therefore, the cause of this fire is undetermined I E .9 o oT' o E =] o ooo (D 'E '= o oE o ottrT o o oo o o oo t0 @ i\t(o @N F IlJ-or(,ooo Iol o)t- o E.co Gi Packet Pg. 344 1.Ol10lzo17 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to direct staff to meet with the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) and the Collier Building lndustry Association (CBIA) to explore potential emergency permitting processes and building permit fee considerations during declared disasters and provide subsequent recommendations to the Board.
