EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request that the Board direct staff to bring back an amendment to Ordinance No. 2003-37,
as amended, clarifying the "purpose" section of that ordinance to state that the Collier
County Land Development Code, as amended, does not apply to County Transportation
projects, to separate the Construction Standards Handbook into two separate handbooks
consisting of the 2008 version of the "Construction Standards Handbook for Work within
the Public Right-of-Way, Collier County, Florida" and a new 2008 "Collier County
Landscape and Irrigation Specifications for Beautification Improvements within the Public
Right-of-Way Handbook," and to authorize future revisions to each Handbook to be made
separately and by resolution approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners direct staff to bring back an
amendment to Ordinance No. 2003-37, as amended, to clarify the purpose section of that
ordinance, to separate the Construction Standards Handbook into two separate handbooks
consisting of the 2008 vcrsion of the "Construction Standards Handbook for Work within the
Public Right-of-Way, Collier County, Florida," (the "Construction Handbook") and a new 2008
"Collier County Landscape and Irrigation Specifications for Beautification Improvements within
the Public Right-of-Way Handbook" (the "Landscaping Handbook"), as well as authorizing
future revisions to each Handbook to be made separately and by reso lution approved by the
Board of County Commissioners,
CONSIDERATION: The standards for work within the County rights-of-way has been revised
several times since 1977 when it was first enacted. The essence of these standards was to
provide for consistency and quality of workmanship for all materials and construction activities
within County rights-of-way. A procedure for issuing permits for any such work was established
along with standard requirements for site plans and inspections.
In 2008, the need to revise, enhance and upgrade the Construction Handbook to provide for
updated methods and materials became apparent. It was also realized that the growth of the
landscaping program required more frequent revisions and changes to that portion of the
Construction Handbook. Staff recommends amending Ordinance No. 2003-37, as amended, in
order to separate the two Handbooks for more flexibility in necessary future revisions, As each
Handbook may be revised separately by resolution of the Board, revisions will be accomplished
in a timely and efficient manner.
Finally, staff wishes to clarify the "Purpose" scction of the Ordinance to state that the Collier
County Land Development Code, as amended, does not apply to Collier County Transportation
projects and related amenities required as components of public roadways.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved
this item for legal sufficiency. - SRT

GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve this item directing staff to amend Ordinance
2003-37, as amended, to clarify the "Purpose" section to state that County Transportation
projects, including amenities related to improving the public roadways are exempt from the
Collier County Land Development Code, as amended, to separate the Construction Standards
Handbook into two separate handbooks consisting of the 2008 version of the "Construction
Standards Handbook for Work within the Public Right-of-Way, Collier County, Florida" and a
new 2008 "Collier County Landscape and Irrigation Specifications for Beautification
Improvements within the Public Right-of-Way Handbook," and to authorize future revisions to
each Handbook to be made separately and by resolution approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.
