existing dock facility with a boat dock facility with two boatlifts, one for a 33-foot vessel and the
other for two personal watercraft, for the benefit of the subject property.
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION:
The subject property is located at 75 Pelican Street West, on the north side of Pelican Street West
approximately one third mile west of Capri Boulevard, and is legally described as Lot 109, less
the westerly 5 feet thereof, Isles of Capri No 1, as recorded in Plat Book 3, Page 41 of the Public

ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION:
Environmental Planning Staff has reviewed this petition and has no objection to the granting of
this request. The property is located adjacent to an ST overlay zone which will require an S T-
permit for the proposed docking facilities prior to issuance of the building permits. The proposed
docking facilities will be constructed waterward of the existing riprap shoreline. The shoreline
does not contain native vegetation. A submerged resources survey provided by the applicant found
no submerged resources in the area 200 feet beyond the proposed docking facility. Exhibit sheet 7
of 7 provides an aerial with a note stating that no seagrasses were observed within 200 feet. This
project does not require an Environmental Advisory Council Board (EAC) review, because this
project did not meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Chapter
2, Article VIII, Division 23, Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In accordance with LDC Section 5.03.06.H., the Collier County Hearing Examiner shall approve,
approve with conditions, or deny a dock facility extension request based on certain criteria. In
order for the Hearing Examiner to approve this request, at least four of the five primary criteria
and four of the six secondary criteria must be met:
Primary Criteria:
1. Whether the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is appropriate in
relation to the waterfront length, location, upland land use and zoning of the subject
property. Consideration should be made of property on unbridged barrier islands,
where vessels are the primary means of transportation to and from the property.
(The number should be appropriate; typical single-family use should be no more than
two slips; typical multi-family use should be one slip per dwelling unit; in the case of
unbridged barrier island docks, additional slips may be appropriate.)
Criterion met. The property is located within a residential single-family zoning district and
comprises a single boat dock facility with two slips, each with a boatlift; one to
accommodate a 33-foot vessel and the other two personal watercraft. The proposed dock
protrudes 50 feet, dock and vessel combination, from the top of rip-rap line.
2. Whether the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the general
length, type and draft as that described in the petitioner’s application is unable to
launch or moor at mean low tide (MLT). (The petitioner’s application and survey
should establish that the water depth is too shallow to allow launching and mooring
of the vessel(s) described without an extension.)
The applicant’s agent states:
The reason for this BDE request is due to the applicant’s vessel draft and restrictive
water depths. The applicant is not allowed to dredge due to the subject parcel being
located within the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve. The applicant owned shoreline
length is 59-feet and with 30-feet being within setbacks the only dock design option in
3.A.a

BDE-PL20200001309; 75 Pelican Street West - Gaynor Page 5 of 9
January 22, 2021
order to accommodate the applicant’s vessels is to push the dock out into the waterway
as far as the State will allow to reach adequate depths. The proposed dock will
accommodate a 33-feet vessel which will have approximately 24” draft plus the area
needed for the boat-lift in order to allow the vessel to float on or off the lift. Also, as
designed the proposed protrusion is consistent with all the other docks previously
approved along this shoreline and is actually one of the least protruding docks in the
area.
Criterion met. Staff concurs with the explanation provided above and as demonstrated by
Attachment A, Sheet 05 of 07 – Cross Section AA.
3. Whether the proposed dock facility may have an adverse impact on navigation within
an adjacent marked or charted navigable channel. (The facility should not intrude
into any marked or charted navigable channel thus impeding vessel traffic in the
channel.)
Criterion met. The proposed dock facility is to protrude a maximum of 50-feet into the
waterway which is less than the neighboring dock facilities. Additionally, said dock facility
will not impact navigation as the marked channel is located to the north.
4. Whether the proposed dock facility protrudes no more than 25 percent of the wid th
of the waterway, and whether a minimum of 50 percent of the waterway width
between dock facilities on either side is maintained for navigability. (The facility
should maintain the required percentages.)
Criterion met. The dock facility is proposed to protrude 50-feet into a waterway that is
approximately 1,500 feet wide or under 4% of the width of said waterway.
5. Whether the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the facility
would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. (The facility should not
interfere with the use of legally permitted neighboring docks.)
Criterion met. The dock is proposed to maintain required setbacks from the riparian lines,
there are no recognized impediments to the navigation of neighboring docked vessels.
Secondary Criteria:
1. Whether there are special conditions not involving water depth, related to the subject
property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and location of the
proposed dock facility. (There must be at least one special condition related to the
property; these may include type of shoreline reinforcement, shoreline configuration,
mangrove growth, or seagrass beds.)
The applicant’s agent states:
The existing dock facility was approved under BD-PL20180002024 but was not
compliant with state regulations and therefore needs to be re-designed to become

compliant. Additionally, the previously submitted Warranty Deed and State Certificate
which added land north of the platted subject lot up to the MHWL. The platted lot
contained 75-feet of width, but the deeded parcel was that lot minus 5-feet which
resulted in an actual lot width of approximately 70-feet. The State Certificate then
added the land extending up to the MHWL to the deeded parcel which resulted in an
oddly shaped northern boundary line for the parcel that contains 59-feet of shoreline.
Criterion met. The information provided above is consistent with Staff findings. As
demonstrated within the survey provided as part of Attachment A, the lot today has 58.89
feet of water frontage which, as per Section 5.03.06.E.6, allows for 7.5-foot side/riparian
setbacks.
2. Whether the proposed dock facility would allow reasonable, safe access to the vessel
for loading/unloading and routine maintenance, without the use of excessive deck
area not directly related to these functions. (The facility should not use excessive deck
area.
Criterion met. The dock facility was designed without excessive decking and has sufficient
area to allow for safe access to the vessel(s).
3. For single-family dock facilities, whether the length of the vessel, or vessels in
combination, described by the petitioner, exceeds 50 percent of the subject property’s
linear waterfront footage. (The applicable maximum percentage should be
maintained.)
Criterion not met. The proposed 33-foot vessel, absent the addition of two personal
watercraft, exceeds the 50 percent threshold; 50-percent of 59.89 feet is 29.45 feet.
4. Whether the proposed facility would have a major impact on the waterfront view of
neighboring property owners. (The facility should not have a major impact on the
view of a neighboring property owner.)
The applicant’s agent states:
The proposed dock will impact views less than the existing adjacent dockin g facilities
as the proposed dock has less protrusion and the overall area of over-water structure
than the other docks. Therefore, no new impacts to neighboring property views of the
waterway will result from the proposed project.
Criterion met. The proposed boat dock facility satisfies LDC setback requirements from
the riparian lines.
5. Whether seagrass beds will be impacted by the proposed dock facility. (If seagrass
beds are present, compliance with subsection 5.03.06.J of the LDC must be
demonstrated.)

January 22, 2021
Criterion met. The submerged resources survey reveals no seagrass beds are located within
200 feet of the proposed dock facility, there will be no impact to seagrass beds.
6. Whether the proposed dock facility is subject to the manatee protection requirements
of subsection 5.03.06(E)(11) of this Code. (If applicable, compliance with section
5.03.06(E)(11) must be demonstrated.
Criterion is not applicable. The provisions of the Collier County Manatee Protection Plan
do not apply to individual docks behind individual residences.
Staff analysis finds this request complies with all five of the primary criteria and four of the six
secondary criteria with the one being not applicable.
APPEAL OF BOAT DOCK EXTENSION TO BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS:
As to any boat dock extension petition upon which the Hearing Examiner takes action, an
aggrieved petitioner, or adversely affected property owner, may appeal such final action to the
Board of County Commissioners. Such appeal shall be filed with the Growth Management
Department Administrator within 30 days of the Decision by the Hearing Examiner. In the event
that the petition has been approved by the Hearing Examiner, the applicant shall be advised that

PRIMARY CRITERIA
The following criteria, pursuant to LDC section 5.03.06, shall be used as a guide by staff in
determining its recommendation to the Office of the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing
Examiner will utilize the following criteria as a guide in the decision to approve or deny a
particular Dock Extension request. In order for the Hearing Examiner to approve the
request, it must be determined that at least 4 of the 5 primary criteria, and at least 4 of the
6 secondary criteria, must be met. On separate sheets, please provide a narrative response
to the listed criteria and/or questions.
1. Whether or not the number of dock facilities and/or boat slips proposed is appropriate in
relation to the waterfront length, location, upland land use, and zoning of the subject
property; consideration should be made of property on unbridged barrier islands, where
vessels are the primary means of transportation to and from the property. (The number
should be appropriate; typical, single-family use should be no more than two slips;
typical multi-family use should be one slip per dwelling unit; in the case of unbridged
barrier island docks, additional slips may be appropriate.)
The subject property is zoned as a single-family residential property which
warrants no more than 2 slips per the CC-LDC. The proposed project consists of
one dock with two boatlifts to accommodate one vessel up to 33-feet and two PWC.
The proposed dock extends out 50-feet from the top of riprap therefore we are
requesting a 30-foot boat dock extension from the allowed 20-feet.
2. Whether or not the water depth at the proposed site is so shallow that a vessel of the
general length, type, and draft as that described in the petitioner’s application is unable to
launch or moor at mean low tide (MLT). (The petitioner’s application and survey should
show that the water depth is too shallow to allow launch and mooring of the vessel (s)
described without an extension.)
The reason for this BDE request is due to the applicant’s vessel draft and restrictive
water depths. The applicant is not allowed to dredge due to the subject parcel being
located within the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve. The applicant owned shoreline
length is 59-feet and with 30-feet being within setbacks the only dock design option
in order to accommodate the applicant’s vessels is to push the dock out into the
waterway as far as the State will allow to reach adequate depths. The proposed
dock will accommodate a 33-feet vessel which will have approximately 24” draft
plus the area needed for the boat-lift in order to allow the vessel to float on or off the
lift. Also, as designed the proposed protrusion is consistent with all the other docks
previously approved along this shoreline and is actually one of the least protruding
docks in the area.
3. Whether or not the proposed dock facility may have an adverse impact on navigation
within an adjacent marked or charted navigable channel. (The facility should not intrude
into any marked or charted navigable channel thus impeding vessel traffic in the
channel.)
3.A.d
Packet Pg. 32 Attachment: Attachment C - Applicant's Backup (14826 : PL20200001309 BDE - 75 Pelican St W - Gaynor)
The proposed docking facility is consistent with the other docks along the subject
shoreline. As proposed the dock and boatlift will not impact navigation as the
marked channel is located north of the docking facility and to access to the subject
property is a local knowledge channel. As proposed the dock will not impact
navigation within subject waterway.
4. Whether or not the proposed dock facility protrudes no more than 25 percent of the width
of the waterway, and whether or not a minimum of 50 percent of the waterway width
between dock facilities on either side of the waterway is maintained for navigability. (The
facility should maintain the required percentages.)
The approximate waterway width is 1,500-feet wide. The proposed dock protrusion
from the MHWL is 46-feet which is under 4% width of the waterway.
5. Whether or not the proposed location and design of the dock facility is such that the
facility would not interfere with the use of neighboring docks. (The facility should not
interfere with the use of legally permitted neighboring docks.)
The proposed docking facility originates from the applicant’s upland single-family
residential lot with an existing single-family residence. There is an existing dock on
site and the proposed dock and associated boatlifts are within the applicant’s
riparian area which as designed meets the required side yard setbacks. Therefore,
will not result in any impacts to the neighboring views.
3.A.d
Packet Pg. 33 Attachment: Attachment C - Applicant's Backup (14826 : PL20200001309 BDE - 75 Pelican St W - Gaynor)
SECONDARY CRITERIA
1. Whether or not there are special conditions, not involving water depth, related to the
subject property or waterway, which justify the proposed dimensions and location of the
proposed dock facility. (There must be at least one special condition related to the
property; these may include type of shoreline reinforcement, shoreline configuration,
mangrove growth, or seagrass beds.)
The existing docking facility was approved under BD-PL20180002024 but again was
not compliant with state regulations and therefore needs to be re-designed to
become compliant. Additionally, the previously submitted Warranty Deed and State
Certificate which added land north of the platted subject lot up to the MHWL. The
platted lot contained 75-feet of width, but the deeded parcel was that lot minus 5-
feet which resulted in an actual lot width of approximately 70-feet. The State
Certificate then added the land extending up to the MHWL to the deeded parcel
which resulted in an oddly shaped northern boundary line for the parcel that
contains 59-feet of shoreline.
2. Whether the proposed dock facility would allow reasonable, safe, access to the vessel for
loading/unloading and routine maintenance, without the use of excessive deck area not
directly related to these functions. (The facility should not use excessive deck area.)
The proposed docking facility has been designed to comply with state regulations
while also providing maximum depth for mooring of vessels and allowing for safe
access to each lift by providing sufficient (but not excessive) decking area.
3. For single-family dock facilities, whether or not the length of the vessel, or vessels in
combination, described by the petitioner exceeds 50 percent of the subject property’s
linear waterfront footage. (The applicable maximum percentage should be maintained.)
The existing docking facility has been designed to moor one vessel at 33-feet in
length and 2 personal watercrafts (PWC) on the proposed decked over boatlift.
Therefore, this criterion is not met.
4. Whether or not the proposed facility would have a major impact on the waterfront view
of neighboring waterfront property owners. (The facility should not have a major impact
on the view of either property owner.)
The proposed dock will impact views less than the existing adjacent docking
facilities as the proposed dock has less protrusion and the overall area of over-water
structure than the other docks. Therefore, no new impacts to neighboring property
views of the waterway will result from the proposed project.
5. Whether or not seagrass beds are located within 200 feet of the proposed dock facility. (If
seagrass beds are present, compliance with LDC subsection 5.03.06 I must be
demonstrated.)
3.A.d
Packet Pg. 34 Attachment: Attachment C - Applicant's Backup (14826 : PL20200001309 BDE - 75 Pelican St W - Gaynor)
There are no seagrass beds present on the property nor the neighboring properties
within 200’ of the existing dock structure
6. Whether or not the proposed dock facility is subject to the manatee protection
requirements of LDC subsection 5.03.06 E.11. (If applicable, compliance with subsection
5.03.06.E.11 must be demonstrated.)
The proposed work is a single-family dock facility and therefore not subject to
Manatee Protection Requirements

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Gaynor residence is located at 75 Pelican St. W and can be identified by parcel #52344120005.
The property is bound to the East and West by single family residences, to the South by several
tennis courts, and to the north by Capri Pass. The property is located at Section 6, Township 52,
and Range 26. The landward portion of the property currently contains a single family residence.
The seaward portion of the property contains a privately owned dock that extends into state owned
submerged land.
Turrell, Hall & Associates was contracted to provide environmental permitting services pertaining
to the proposed dock addition, which includes completion of a Submerged Resource Survey (SRS).
This survey will provide planning and assistance to both the owner(s) and government agencies
reviewing the proposed project. The proposed project consists of replacing the current Jet Ski lift
with a platform lift. The existing dock will not be altered in any other way.
The SRS survey was conducted on August 1st of 2018. Surface conditions consisted of partly
cloudy skies, light to moderate winds out of the southeast, and an air temperature of 90° F. The
tide was at mid-level upon arrival to the site, allowing for observance of some of the bottom lands
from the dock. However, winds, tidal currents, and boat activity both contributed to choppy waves
in the pass and high turbidity in the water column, causing reduced visibility. High tide at the
project site occurred at 6:26 A.M. (2.5 ft.) and low tide occurred at 12:43 P.M. (0.8 ft.). The water
temperature was 85° F.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the submerged resource survey was to identify and locate any existing submerged
resources within 200’ of the proposed project. The survey provided onsite environmental
information to help determine if the proposed project would impact any existing submerged
resources and if so would assist in reconfiguring the proposed dock in order to minimize any
impacts. The general scope of work performed at the site is summarized below.
• Turrell, Hall & Associates personnel conducted a site visit in order to verify the location
of any submerged resources.
• Turrell, Hall & Associates personnel identified submerged resources at the site (or the lack
there of), estimated the percent coverage, and delineated the approximate limits of any
submerged resources observed.
• Turrell, Hall & Associates personnel delineated limits via a handheld GPS (Garmin Model
76csx).

3.0 METHODOLOGY
Turrell, Hall & Associates biologists intentionally designed the methodology of the Submerged
Resource Survey to cover the entire property shoreline for the proposed dock installation. The
components for this survey included:
● Review of aerial photography of survey area
● Establish survey transects lines overlaid onto aerials
● Physically swim transects, GPS locate limits of submerged resources, and determine
approximate percent of coverage
● Document and photograph all findings
The survey area was evaluated systematically by following the established transects, spaced
approximately 10-feet apart as shown on the attached exhibit. The existing dock provided a
reference point for easily identifiable land markers such as dock pilings which assisted in
maintaining position within each transect.
4.0 RESULTS
The substrate found within the surveyed area consists of 1 distinct classification: sand with a high
volume of shell debris. This substrate was found throughout the entire surveyed area. The shoreline
consists of rip-rap rocks supporting a variety of fish as well as sessile and motile invertebrates such
as barnacles and mud crabs. Some of the rip-rap rocks carried historic fragments or remains of
oysters, but no live individuals were observed. Algae was observed covering parts of the
submerged rip-rap but was not observed in the underlying substrate. The majority of the project
site was devoid of vegetative growth, presumably because of a combination of shallow depths,
high wave action and volatile tidal currents. Such conditions also create highly turbid waters,
reducing penetration of the water column by sunlight. A list of observed species can be seen below
in Table 1.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS
The submerged resource survey conducted at the project site yielded few findings at best.
Barnacles, mud crabs, and historic indicators of oysters could be seen on the rip-rap and pilings.
Algae was observed on parts of the rip-rap, but nowhere else around the project site. Seagrasses
were not observed anywhere near the project site. All fish species were observed swimming in and
around the existing docking facility.
Negative impacts to submerged resources are not expected with the proposed project.

REQUESTED ACTION:
To have the Collier County Hearing Examiner (HEX) consider an after-the-fact variance request
from Section 4.02.01.A, Table 2.1, of the Collier County Land Development Code to reduce the
minimum side yard setback from 30 feet to 17.1 feet on the east side, and to 15.77 feet for a roof
overhang, for an existing single family dwelling in the Estates (E) zoning district.
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION:
The subject property is located at 689 35th Avenue NW, approximately 0.85 miles west of Wilson
Boulevard, and is further described as the West 180 feet of Tract 36, Golden Gate Estates Unit No.
37, in Section 16, Township 48 South, Range 27 East, Collier County, Florida, consisting of 2.73
acres (See location map on page 2).
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The single-family dwelling existing on this property was constructed on the wrong lot; it was
reviewed and permitted to be placed on the adjoining lot to the east which is legal nonconforming
due to lot width. As the subject lot is conforming, full side yard setbacks of 30-feet are required;
whereas the non-conforming lot enjoys reduced setbacks. The applicant has purchased the subject
property and seeks to bring the residence into compliance by means of this variance. The provided
survey reveals the residence is 17.1 feet from the east property line and building plans reveal a
roof overhang of 1’-4” (1.33 feet). Typically, a roof overhang may encroach up to three feet into
a required yard (See Attachment A, Boundary Survey and Foundation Plan).

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
The subject property is in the Estates Designation district land use classification on the County’s
Future Land Use Map (FLUM). This land use category is designed to accommodate large lot
residential uses including single-family projects. As stated, the applicant seeks a Variance for an
existing single-family dwelling which is an authorized land use. The Growth Management Plan
(GMP) does not address individual variance requests related to land use.

ZONING DIVISION ANALYSIS:
The decision to grant a variance is based on the criteria in LDC Section 9.04.03. Staff has analyzed
this petition relative to these provisions and offers the following responses:
a. Are there special conditions and circumstances existing, which are peculiar to the
location, size and characteristics of the land, structure or building involved?
Yes, A wetland determination completed by an environmental consultant revealed the
presence of wetlands on the site. The applicant will need to provide an Exemption Letter or
Environmental Resource Permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) prior to the approval of a building permit for the offending residence. Additionally,
Building Permit application No. PRBD20201043213 cannot be issued until such time as the
subject variance is approved. As previously noted, the subject property is legally conforming
with respect to lot area and width whereas the lot the structure was intended for is legal non-
conforming as a result of area and width; the subject residence would have been in full
compliance if constructed on the correct lot where the side setback requirement is 10 percent
of the lot width or 7.5 feet.
b. Are there special conditions and circumstances, which d o not result from the action of
the applicant such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property, which are the
subject of the Variance request?
Yes, the applicant states that the surveyor staked out the wrong lot for construction which
resulted in the residence being constructed on the wrong lot. Staff has no reason to disbelieve
the applicant. Said statement is consistent with information provided to the Building
Department.
c. Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this zoning code work unnecessary and
undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties for the applicant?
Yes, this is an after-the-fact Variance request as the residence has already been constructed
in accordance with an approved building permit; No. PRBD20201043213. Unfortunately,
the plans were reviewed with the residence being on a legal nonconforming lot that enjoys
reduced side yard setbacks. The applicant has since purchased the subject property and would
like to allow the residence to remain; re-locating the residence is not financially feasible.
d. Will the Variance, if granted, be the minimum Variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of
health, safety and welfare?
Yes, the Variance, if granted, is the minimum required to accommodate the existing building
design and roof system. The residence was constructed 17.1 feet from the eastern property
line and an additional 1.33 feet, to 15.77 feet, is requested to allow the roof overhang.
Granting of the requested variance will have no adverse impact to health, safety, and welfare.
e. Will granting the Variance confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied

by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning
district?
By definition, a Variance bestows some dimensional relief from the zoning regulations
specific to a site. LDC Section 9.04.02 allows relief through the Variance process for any
dimensional development standard. As such, other properties facing a similar hardship would
be entitled to make a similar request and would be conferred equal consideration on a case
by case basis.
f. Will granting the Variance be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
Land Development Code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare?
Yes, the granting of the Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of
the Land Development Code and will not harm public safety, health and welfare.
g. Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the goals
and objectives of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf courses, etc.?
No, no natural or physically induced conditions have been observed that will serve to
ameliorate the goals and objectives of the LDC.
h. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the Growth Management Plan?
Yes, approval of this Variance will not affect or change the requirements of the GMP with
respect to density, intensity, compatibility, access/connectivity, or any other applicable
provisions.
Zoning staff has verified that the subject single-family residence was constructed in accord with a
building permit that was approved on September 7, 2018, No. PRBD20180744333. The
accompanying Site plan reveals that it was to be constructed on property identified as 677 35th
Avenue NW, Folio No. 38552480001, a legal nonconforming lot of record of 1.14 acres and being
75 feet in width; the applicable side yard setbacks were 7.5 feet. The Chief Building Official was
formally notified that the subject residence was constructed on the wrong lot and it was determined
that a new building permit would be required for the offending residence on the subject property;
the previously issued building permit remains tied to 677 35th Avenue NW until such time as the
owner is ready to move forward with a new structure. A new building permit (No.
PRBD20201043213) has been applied for, for the offending residence at 689 35th Avenue NW.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION:
The EAC does not normally hear variance petitions. Since the subject variance doesn’t impact any
preserve area, the EAC did not hear this petition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Hearing Examiner approve variance petition VA-
PL20200001732, to reduce the minimum side yard setback on the east side from 30 feet to 17.1

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
Per LDC 5.05.09(G)(7)(b), which provides (in part) that communications towers “shall be
separated . . . from all other surrounding property boundaries by a distance not less than one-half
(1/2) the height of the tower and its antennas, or the tower's certified collapse area, whichever
distance is greater.” Because the proposed tower is 250’ tall, the separation requirement would be
125’ (a greater distance than the tower’s certified collapse area). The petitioner is requesting a
reduction from the eastern and western boundary setbacks to situate a proposed communication
tower.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
This section of the staff report identifies the land uses and zoning classifications for properties

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
The subject property is located within the Agriculture Rural Fringe Receiving lands of the
County’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP.
The GMP does not address individual Variance requests but deals with the larger issue of the actual
use. As previously noted, the petitioner seeks variances requesting a reduction from the eastern
and western boundary setbacks to situate a proposed communication tower. The subject use is
consistent with the FLUM of the GMP. The requested variance does not have any impact on this
property's consistency with the County's GMP.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request are variances from LDC 5.05.09(G)(7)(b), which provides (in part) that
communications towers “shall be separated . . . from all other surrounding property boundaries
by a distance not less than one-half (1/2) the height of the tower and its antennas, or the tower's
certified collapse area, whichever distance is greater.” Because the proposed tower is 250’ tall,
the separation requirement would be 125’ (a greater distance than the tower’s certified collapse
area). (See Attachment A – Kapok St Certified Fall Radius Letter) As indicated on the site drawing
included with this submittal, the proposed communications tower meets this 125’ distance
separation requirement with respect to the northern and southern property boundaries.
Additionally, the proposed tower is separated from surrounding property boundaries in all
directions by a distance that far exceeds its certified collapse area (i.e., it meets the lesser of the
two distance measurements provided in the LDC, in all directions). However, because the
proposed tower does not meet the greater of the two LDC distance measurements with respect to
eastern and western boundaries, a variance is necessary. More specifically the petitioner is seeking
two variances from the required 125’ separation requirement, to allow (1) for the eastern boundary,
a separation of 60.5; and (2) for the western boundary, a separation of 82.2. (See Attachment B –
Zoning Drawings, Sheet C-1 - Overall Site Plan) The LDC does allow for essential services which
includes communication towers (LDC 2.03.08.A.2.a.3.x). Per LDC Section 1.08.02, an essential
service requires that government entities such as police, fire, EMS, etc. have use of the tower for
their designated needs. The communications tower will be utilizing the First Responder Network
Authority (FirstNet) which is a nationwide wireless network broadband network that will be
dedicated to first responders for use in disasters, emergencies and daily public safety work. (See
Attachment C – FirstNet Info) Furthermore, it should be noted that the proposed tower does not
require a conditional use but is subject to this variance. (See Attachment D – Zoning Verification
Letter dated 3-17-20)
Moreover, staff has been receiving opposition letters regarding the close proximity of another
tower to be located at 550 Frangipani Avenue approximately 2065 feet east of the Kapok St site.
(See Attachment F – Opposition Letters) This 185-foot communications tower has not been built
and is currently under SDP review (PL20200000886). The residents feel that these two
communications towers will create deleterious effects upon their community. Currently, the LDC
does not have any distance separation provisions to guide staff as to how far apart one
communication tower can be from another tower. As such, staff will be amending the LDC to
address communication tower distance separation requirements in the near future. It should be
noted, that the applicant has stated that in regard to shared tower use, that there are not any towers
that would provide necessary and adequate capacity and geographic coverage area to achieve their

emergency services objectives, and sharing another tower would not be a feasible option. (See
Attachment G – Shared Tower Use Response)
The decision to grant a variance is based on the criteria in LDC Section 9.04.03. A. through H. (in
bold font below). Staff has analyzed this petition relative to these provisions and offers the
following responses:
a. Are there special conditions and circumstances existing, which are peculiar to the
location, size and characteristics of the land, structure or building involved?
Yes, the property is rectangular, and the proposed structure is unique (a 250’ tall essential
services communications tower) with a required 125 ft separation requirement from all
property boundaries. The proposed tower meets the separation requirement with respect to
the northern (181.9 ft separation) and southern (152.8 ft separation) boundaries. However,
the eastern (60.5 ft separation) and western (82.2 ft separation) boundaries do not meet the
125 ft separation requirement as the rectangular shape of the parcel are significantly
narrowed on the eastern and western parcel boundaries thus preventing the applicant from
complying with the 125 ft requirement.
b. Are there special conditions and circumstances, which do not result from the action of
the applicant such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property, which are the
subject of the Variance request?
Yes, while the property is large enough to safely accommodate the proposed
communications tower, its rectangular shape makes it necessary to obtain variances to meet
LDC separation requirements for the eastern and western boundaries
c. Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this zoning code work unnecessary and
undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties for the applicant?
Yes, because of the rectangular shape of this lot this would bestow an undue hardship on the
owner preventing construction of a 250-communication tower as presented in the overall site
plan. Moreover, there is a need for important essential services communications for this area.
d. Will the Variance, if granted, be the minimum Variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of
health, safety and welfare?
Yes, the Variance proposed would be the minimum Variance to allow the reduction of the
eastern boundary setback of 125 feet to 60.5 feet and from the western boundary setback of
125 feet to 82.2 feet for a proposed 250-foot communications tower. Approval of the
Variance would not have a negative impact on standards of health, safety, and welfare of the
abutting parcels.
e. Will granting the Variance confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied
by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning
district?

Yes, by definition, a Variance bestows some dimensional relief from the zoning regulations
specific to a site. LDC Section 9.04.02 provides relief through the Variance process for any
dimensional development standard, such as the requested eastern and western boundary
setback decrease. As such, other properties facing a similar hardship would be entitled to
make a similar request and would be conferred equal consideration on a case by case basis.
f. Will granting the Variance be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
Land Development Code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare?
The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of the LDC and
will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or other detrimental to the public welfare.
g. Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the goals
and objectives of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf courses, etc.?
The applicant states, “Essential public services communications towers are critically
important in this fairly remote area of the County. Population in this area is less dense than
urban areas, and communications at this location can be challenging in storm and other
emergency events.” Staff concurs with this statement and further notes that currently there is
not any existing residences to the east and west of the subject property and is not within the
125-foot separation requirement.
h. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the GMP?
Approval of this Variance will not affect or change the requirements of the GMP.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION:
This project does not require Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project did
not meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2 -1193 of
the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Hearing Examiner (HEX) approve Petition VA-
PL20190002701, Kapok St Cell Tower Variance for two variances from LDC Section
5.05.09(G)(7)(b), to reduce the eastern boundary setback of 125 feet to 60.5 feet and from the
western boundary setback of 125 feet to 82.2 feet for a proposed 250 foot communications tower.

RE: Proposed 250' Sabre Self-Supporting Tower for Kapok Street, FL
Dear Mr. Cook,
Upon receipt of order, we propose to design a tower for the above referenced project for an ASCE 7-
16 Ultimate Wind Speed of 160 mph, Structure Class ll, Exposure C, Topographic Category 1 in
accordance with the Telecommunications lndustry Association Standard ANSI/TlA-222-G, i'structural
Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas".
When designed according to this standard, the wind pressures and steel strength capacities include
several safety factors, resulting in an overall minimum safety factor of 25%. Therefore, it is highly
unlikely that the tower will fail structurally in a wind event where the design wind speed is exceeded
within the range of the built-in safety ractors.
Should the wind speed increase beyond lhe capacity of the built-in safety factors, to the point of
lailure of one or more structural elements, the most likely location of the failure would be within one or
more of the tower members in the upper portion. This would result in a buckling failure mode, where
the loaded member would bend beyond its elastic limit (beyond the point where the member would
return to its original shape upon removal of the wind load).
Therefore, it is likely that the overall effect of such an extreme wind event would be localized buckling
of a tower section. Assuming that the wind pressure profile is similar to that used to design the towei,
the tower is most likely to buckle at the location of the highest combined stress ratio in the upper
portion of the tower. This would result in the portion of the tower above the failure location "folding
over" onto the portion of the tower below the failure location. Please note that this letter only
applies to the above reterenced tower designed and manufactured by Sabre Towers & Poles.
ln the unlikely event of total separation, this would result in collapse within a 100' x 100' compound.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Beacom, P.E., S.E.

TOP10 ASKED QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY
1. What is the First Responder Network Authority?
The First Responder Network Authority is the independent authority established by Congress to deliver a nationwide broadband network
dedicated to public safety. The Network is strengthening public safety users’ communications capabilities, enabling them to respond more quickly
and effectively to accidents, disasters, and emergencies.
The First Responder Network Authority is led by a Board of leaders and executives from the public safety community; federal, state, and local
governments; and the technology, finance, and wireless sectors. It has a staff of about 200 employees with expertise in public safety,
telecommunications, customer service, technology, procurement, and other areas needed to develop the Network. It is headquartered in Reston, VA,
and has a technology center and lab in Boulder, CO.
2. What led to the creation of the First Responder Network Authority?
The 9/11 terrorist attacks brought to the forefront the many communications challenges that first responders face during emergencies and
disasters. These issues were captured in the 9/11 Commission Report, which identified gaps in emergency communications and recommended a
nationwide network for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical personnel communications.
The public safety community united to fulfill the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation. Public safety organizations and associations advocated
before Congress for a dedicated, reliable wireless network for first responders. Their advocacy efforts led to the passage of legislation in 2012 to
create the agency to deploy the Network in all U.S. states and territories, including rural communities and tribal nations.
3. How has public safety been involved in the vision for the FirstNet network?
Public safety officials have worked closely with the First Responder Network Authority since its inception in 2012 to ensure the Network meets
first responders’ needs – today and in the future. The agency’s outreach and consultation efforts have connected the organization to more than
1.8 million first responders and state public safety and technology executives across the country.
Specifically, the First Responder Network Authority has consulted extensively with state single points of contact (SPOCs) in each of the 50 U.S.
states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia, as well as local/municipal, tribal and federal public safety leaders. It also coordinates with
public safety through the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC), which provides guidance and subject matter expertise from a first responder
perspective. Public safety leaders at the national, state and local levels continue to advocate for and support deployment of the Network.
4. How was AT&T selected to build, operate, and maintain the FirstNet network?
The First Responder Network Authority and the Department of Interior made the 25-year award based on the determination of the overall best
value solution for FirstNet and public safety. The buildup to the award included a fair, competitive procurement process that began in January
2016 with release of the Network RFP.
The procurement process followed the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and encouraged offerors to provide innovative solutions that could
meet or exceed the needs of public safety.
The procurement was open to all entities, whether traditional wireless companies or new entrants, provided their proposal could meet the
RFP’s statement of objectives. AT&T was selected on a best-value award that considered financial sustainability and was based on more than
just a technically acceptable solution at the lowest cost. The evaluation of proposals assessed the offerors’ ability to submit a cost-effective and
innovative model, and to meet or exceed the 16 objectives and evaluation factors outlined in the FirstNet RFP.
5. Why is the Network being built and operated through a public-private partnership?
The First Responder Network Authority and AT&T are modernizing and improving public safety communications by leveraging private sector
resources, infrastructure, and cost-saving synergies to deploy and operate the Network. This public-private model also helps keep costs down for
American taxpayers. To do this, Congress used the sale of communications airwaves (or spectrum) to fund FirstNet’s initial operations and help
start network deployment; the $7 billion FirstNet received in initial funding came from FCC spectrum auction revenue, not taxpayer funds.
If the federal government were to build, maintain and operate this Network, the estimated cost would be tens of billions of dollars over 25 years.
The Government Accountability Office has estimated it could cost up to $47 billion over 10 years to construct and operate the Network.
With this partnership approach, the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T do not need any additional federal funding to build and operate
the Network – it is a fully funded, self-sustaining Network. In return, America’s first responders get services far above and beyond what they have
today over a first-class broadband network dedicated to their communications needs.

6. What are the key terms this public-private partnership?
Congress intended for the Network to be built and operated as a public-private partnership that brings together the best of the private sector,
including commercial best practices, infrastructure, and resources – with the First Responder Network Authority’s public safety expertise. This
approach will lead to a fully-funded, self-sustaining Network that will serve public safety for years to come. This business model is built upon the
efficient use of resources, infrastructure, cost-saving synergies, and incentives, including:
• 20 MHz of federally owned spectrum and $6.5 billion in initial funding to the partnership; in return AT&T will deploy and operate a nation- wide
high-speed broadband network for public safety over 25 years.
• AT&T will invest about $40 billion over the life of the contract to build, operate, deploy, and maintain the Network, and together with the First
Responder Network Authority will help ensure the Network evolves with the needs of public safety.
• AT&T can use FirstNet’s spectrum when it is not being used by public safety for other, commercial purposes. The company will prioritize first
responders over any other commercial users.
• First Responder Network Authority will oversee the contract to ensure it delivers innovation, technology and customer care to public safety through
various mechanisms, including subscriber adoption targets, milestone buildouts, disincentive fees and other mechanisms outlined in the contract.
7. What will the FirstNet Network provide first responders that they don’t have today?
Today, in emergencies and at large events, heavy public use can lead to wireless communications networks becoming overloaded and inaccessible.
In those instances, public safety users are treated the same as any other commercial or enterprise user, and communications can be limited due to
congestion and capacity issues.
With the FirstNet Network, public safety will get a dedicated “fast lane” that provides highly secure communications every day and for every
emergency. It will deliver specialized features to public safety that are not available on wireless networks today – such as priority access;
preemption; more network capacity; and a resilient, hardened connection. The Network will deliver more than just a public-safety-dedicated
wireless connection – it is also creating devices and apps ecosystems that will connect first responders to innovative, life-saving technologies.
8. How will the Network benefit first responders and help them do their jobs better?
FirstNet will improve communications, response times and outcomes for first responders from coast-to-coast, in rural and urban areas, inland and
on boarders – leading to safer, and more secure communities. The Network will provide first responders with innovation and robust capacity so
they can take advantage of advanced technologies, tools and services during emergencies, such as:
• Applications that allow first responders to reliably share videos, text messages, photos and other information during incidents in near real-time;
• Advanced capabilities, like camera-equipped connected drones and robots, to deliver images of wildfires, floods or other events;
• Improved location services to help with mapping capabilities during rescue and recovery operations; and
• Wearables that could relay biometric data of a patient to the hospital or alert when a fire fighter is in distress.
Network technology will also be tested and validated through the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab, located in Boulder, CO, so first responders will
have the proven tools they need in disasters and emergencies.
9. What’s happening with FirstNet now?
All 50 states, five U.S. territories and Washington, D.C., have “opted in,” to FirstNet, meaning each has accepted its individual State Plan detailing
how the network will be deployed in their state/territory.
The First Responder Network Authority’s public-private partnership with AT&T provides first responders with immediate access to mission-critical
capabilities over the FirstNet network. This includes priority and preemption features that give first responders their own “fast lane” on the public
safety network to communicate and share information during emergencies, large events, or other situations when commercial networks could
become congested. FirstNet is the only broadband network to provide ruthless preemption for public safety.
Key FirstNet activities include:
Expanding the Network and Building Out Band 14: The First Responder Network Authority has issued work orders to deploy the RANs. This gave
AT&T the green light to expand FirstNet’s footprint and deploy Band 14 capacity and coverage throughout the nation, providing first responders
with the bandwidth and mission critical connections they need to communicate, share information, and use innovative technologies every day
and in every emergency.
Driving public safety innovation: FirstNet is also unlocking a new technology marketplace for public safety, enabling first responders to benefit
from advancements in innovation. The FirstNet App Catalog store will be filling up with FirstNet-approved mobile apps that are optimized for
public safety use over the Network.
Securing emergency communications: FirstNet’s first-of-its-kind core infrastructure will give first responders the dedicated, highly secure,
non-commercial network they deserve. The FirstNet Core, delivered in March 2018, provides full encryption of public safety data over FirstNet and
end-to-end cyber security. FirstNet subscribers also have access to a dedicated Security Operations Center, offering 24/7/365 support.
Engaging with public safety: The First Responder Network Authority will continue to engage with public safety in the states, territories, federal
agencies, and tribal nations to ensure the network meets their needs and incorporate their feedback in the design of future FirstNet products and
services.

TOP10 ASKED QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY
1. What is the First Responder Network Authority?
The First Responder Network Authority is the independent authority established by Congress to deliver a nationwide broadband network
dedicated to public safety. The Network is strengthening public safety users’ communications capabilities, enabling them to respond more quickly
and effectively to accidents, disasters, and emergencies.
The First Responder Network Authority is led by a Board of leaders and executives from the public safety community; federal, state, and local
governments; and the technology, finance, and wireless sectors. It has a staff of about 200 employees with expertise in public safety,
telecommunications, customer service, technology, procurement, and other areas needed to develop the Network. It is headquartered in Reston, VA,
and has a technology center and lab in Boulder, CO.
2. What led to the creation of the First Responder Network Authority?
The 9/11 terrorist attacks brought to the forefront the many communications challenges that first responders face during emergencies and
disasters. These issues were captured in the 9/11 Commission Report, which identified gaps in emergency communications and recommended a
nationwide network for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical personnel communications.
The public safety community united to fulfill the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation. Public safety organizations and associations advocated
before Congress for a dedicated, reliable wireless network for first responders. Their advocacy efforts led to the passage of legislation in 2012 to
create the agency to deploy the Network in all U.S. states and territories, including rural communities and tribal nations.
3. How has public safety been involved in the vision for the FirstNet network?
Public safety officials have worked closely with the First Responder Network Authority since its inception in 2012 to ensure the Network meets
first responders’ needs – today and in the future. The agency’s outreach and consultation efforts have connected the organization to more than
1.8 million first responders and state public safety and technology executives across the country.
Specifically, the First Responder Network Authority has consulted extensively with state single points of contact (SPOCs) in each of the 50 U.S.
states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia, as well as local/municipal, tribal and federal public safety leaders. It also coordinates with
public safety through the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC), which provides guidance and subject matter expertise from a first responder
perspective. Public safety leaders at the national, state and local levels continue to advocate for and support deployment of the Network.
4. How was AT&T selected to build, operate, and maintain the FirstNet network?
The First Responder Network Authority and the Department of Interior made the 25-year award based on the determination of the overall best
value solution for FirstNet and public safety. The buildup to the award included a fair, competitive procurement process that began in January
2016 with release of the Network RFP.
The procurement process followed the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and encouraged offerors to provide innovative solutions that could
meet or exceed the needs of public safety.
The procurement was open to all entities, whether traditional wireless companies or new entrants, provided their proposal could meet the
RFP’s statement of objectives. AT&T was selected on a best-value award that considered financial sustainability and was based on more than
just a technically acceptable solution at the lowest cost. The evaluation of proposals assessed the offerors’ ability to submit a cost-effective and
innovative model, and to meet or exceed the 16 objectives and evaluation factors outlined in the FirstNet RFP.
5. Why is the Network being built and operated through a public-private partnership?
The First Responder Network Authority and AT&T are modernizing and improving public safety communications by leveraging private sector
resources, infrastructure, and cost-saving synergies to deploy and operate the Network. This public-private model also helps keep costs down for
American taxpayers. To do this, Congress used the sale of communications airwaves (or spectrum) to fund FirstNet’s initial operations and help
start network deployment; the $7 billion FirstNet received in initial funding came from FCC spectrum auction revenue, not taxpayer funds.
If the federal government were to build, maintain and operate this Network, the estimated cost would be tens of billions of dollars over 25 years.
The Government Accountability Office has estimated it could cost up to $47 billion over 10 years to construct and operate the Network.
With this partnership approach, the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T do not need any additional federal funding to build and operate
the Network – it is a fully funded, self-sustaining Network. In return, America’s first responders get services far above and beyond what they have
today over a first-class broadband network dedicated to their communications needs.

info@firstnet.gov | www.firstnet.gov | 571-665-6100
6. What are the key terms this public-private partnership?
Congress intended for the Network to be built and operated as a public-private partnership that brings together the best of the private sector,
including commercial best practices, infrastructure, and resources – with the First Responder Network Authority’s public safety expertise. This
approach will lead to a fully-funded, self-sustaining Network that will serve public safety for years to come. This business model is built upon the
efficient use of resources, infrastructure, cost-saving synergies, and incentives, including:
• 20 MHz of federally owned spectrum and $6.5 billion in initial funding to the partnership; in return AT&T will deploy and operate a nation- wide
high-speed broadband network for public safety over 25 years.
• AT&T will invest about $40 billion over the life of the contract to build, operate, deploy, and maintain the Network, and together with the First
Responder Network Authority will help ensure the Network evolves with the needs of public safety.
• AT&T can use FirstNet’s spectrum when it is not being used by public safety for other, commercial purposes. The company will prioritize first
responders over any other commercial users.
• First Responder Network Authority will oversee the contract to ensure it delivers innovation, technology and customer care to public safety through
various mechanisms, including subscriber adoption targets, milestone buildouts, disincentive fees and other mechanisms outlined in the contract.
7. What will the FirstNet Network provide first responders that they don’t have today?
Today, in emergencies and at large events, heavy public use can lead to wireless communications networks becoming overloaded and inaccessible.
In those instances, public safety users are treated the same as any other commercial or enterprise user, and communications can be limited due to
congestion and capacity issues.
With the FirstNet Network, public safety will get a dedicated “fast lane” that provides highly secure communications every day and for every
emergency. It will deliver specialized features to public safety that are not available on wireless networks today – such as priority access;
preemption; more network capacity; and a resilient, hardened connection. The Network will deliver more than just a public-safety-dedicated
wireless connection – it is also creating devices and apps ecosystems that will connect first responders to innovative, life-saving technologies.
8. How will the Network benefit first responders and help them do their jobs better?
FirstNet will improve communications, response times and outcomes for first responders from coast-to-coast, in rural and urban areas, inland and
on boarders – leading to safer, and more secure communities. The Network will provide first responders with innovation and robust capacity so
they can take advantage of advanced technologies, tools and services during emergencies, such as:
• Applications that allow first responders to reliably share videos, text messages, photos and other information during incidents in near real-time;
• Advanced capabilities, like camera-equipped connected drones and robots, to deliver images of wildfires, floods or other events;
• Improved location services to help with mapping capabilities during rescue and recovery operations; and
• Wearables that could relay biometric data of a patient to the hospital or alert when a fire fighter is in distress.
Network technology will also be tested and validated through the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab, located in Boulder, CO, so first responders will
have the proven tools they need in disasters and emergencies.
9. What’s happening with FirstNet now?
All 50 states, five U.S. territories and Washington, D.C., have “opted in,” to FirstNet, meaning each has accepted its individual State Plan detailing
how the network will be deployed in their state/territory.
The First Responder Network Authority’s public-private partnership with AT&T provides first responders with immediate access to mission-critical
capabilities over the FirstNet network. This includes priority and preemption features that give first responders their own “fast lane” on the public
safety network to communicate and share information during emergencies, large events, or other situations when commercial networks could
become congested. FirstNet is the only broadband network to provide ruthless preemption for public safety.
Key FirstNet activities include:
Expanding the Network and Building Out Band 14: The First Responder Network Authority has issued work orders to deploy the RANs. This gave
AT&T the green light to expand FirstNet’s footprint and deploy Band 14 capacity and coverage throughout the nation, providing first responders
with the bandwidth and mission critical connections they need to communicate, share information, and use innovative technologies every day
and in every emergency.
Driving public safety innovation: FirstNet is also unlocking a new technology marketplace for public safety, enabling first responders to benefit
from advancements in innovation. The FirstNet App Catalog store will be filling up with FirstNet-approved mobile apps that are optimized for
public safety use over the Network.
Securing emergency communications: FirstNet’s first-of-its-kind core infrastructure will give first responders the dedicated, highly secure,
non-commercial network they deserve. The FirstNet Core, delivered in March 2018, provides full encryption of public safety data over FirstNet and
end-to-end cyber security. FirstNet subscribers also have access to a dedicated Security Operations Center, offering 24/7/365 support.
Engaging with public safety: The First Responder Network Authority will continue to engage with public safety in the states, territories, federal
agencies, and tribal nations to ensure the network meets their needs and incorporate their feedback in the design of future FirstNet products and
services.

VARIANCE PETITION APPLICATION (PL20190002701)
KAPOK STREET, NAPLES, FL 34117
Parcel ID# 00307840002
PROJECT NARRATIVE & SEPARATE SHEET RESPONSES
1. A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST INCLUDING WHAT STRUCTURES ARE EXISTING AND WHAT
IS PROPOSED; THE AMOUNT OF ENCROACHMENT PROPOSED USING NUMBERS, I.E. REDUCE FRONT
SETBACK FROM 25 FT. TO 18 FT.; WHEN PROPERTY OWNER PURCHASED PROPERTY; WHEN EXISTING
PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE WAS BUILT (INCLUDE BUILDING PERMIT NUMBER(S) IF POSSIBLE); WHY
ENCROACHMENT IS NECESSARY; HOW EXISTING ENCROACHMENT CAME TO BE; ETC.
Applicant is proposing to build a 250’ tall, essential services and other shared services communications
tower on the subject property (“Property”). The Property (Parcel ID #00307840002) is located within
the “agricultural” zoning designation, within RFMUD receiving and North Bell Meade Overlay Districts.
The Property is vacant and unimproved. For reference, see the Zoning Verification Letters dated Sept.
18, 2019 and March 17, 2020, which are included with this submittal.
Applicant is requesting a variance from LDC Section 5.05.09.G.7, which provides (in part) that
communications towers “shall be separated . . . from all other surrounding property boundaries by a
distance not less than one-half (1/2) the height of the tower and its antennas, or the tower's certified
collapse area, whichever distance is greater.” (Emphasis added.) Because the proposed tower is 250’
tall, the separation requirement would be 125’ (a greater distance than the tower’s certified collapse
area).
As indicated on the site drawing included with this submittal, the proposed communications tower
meets this 125’ distance separation requirement with respect to the northern and southern Property
boundaries. Additionally, the proposed tower is separated from surrounding property boundaries in all
directions by a distance that far exceeds its certified collapse area (i.e., it meets the lesser of the two
distance measurements provided in the LDC, in all directions). However, because the proposed tower
does not meet the greater of the two LDC distance measurements with respect to eastern and western
boundaries, a variance is necessary.
More specifically, Applicant is seeking a variance from the required 125’ separation requirement, to
allow (1) for the eastern boundary, a separation of 60’ (65’ less than required); and (2) for the western
boundary, a separation of 82’ (43’ less than required). If measured based on the tower’s certified
collapse area, the proposed tower exceeds applicable separation requirements: the western boundary
is approximately 46’ beyond the tower’s certified collapse area; the eastern boundary is approximately
24.7’ feet beyond the tower’s certified collapse area.
2. For projects authorized under LDC Section 9.04.02, provide a detailed description of site alterations,
including any dredging and filling.
Not applicable – site is unimproved, and there is no known or proposed dredging/filling.
3. Pursuant to LDC section 9.04.00, staff shall be guided in their recommendation to the Hearing Examiner,
and the Hearing Examiner shall be guided in the determination to approve or deny a variance petition by
the criteria (a-h) listed below. Please address the following criteria:
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 172 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
a) Are there special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the location, size and
characteristics of the land, structure, or building involved?
Yes. The circumstances particular to the location and the structure are unique.
The Property is rectangular, and the proposed structure is unique (a 250’ tall essential services
communications tower). The proposed tower meets the separation requirement with respect to the
northern and southern boundaries. The eastern and western boundaries meet the LDC’s “certified
collapse area” measurement, and the nearest structures are approximately 250’ away from the
Property’s perimeter. The certified collapse area is an alternative measurement provided in the LDC
to ensure safety of nearby property and structures. This unique set of circumstances is peculiar to this
Property and proposed structure.
Additionally, the County’s code was written in 2005, and recent technological advances have made it
possible to design communications towers that can withstand hurricane force winds. In the “highly
unlikely” event of a structural failure, the proposed tower will be designed and built to buckle and fall
within a 100’ x 100’ compound (see Nov. 18, 2019 Certified Collapse Area letter included with this
submittal).
b) Are there special conditions and circumstances which do not result from the action of the applicant
such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property which is the subject of the variance request. Yes.
While the Property is large enough to safely accommodate the proposed communications tower, its
rectangular shape makes it necessary to obtain a variance to meet LDC separation requirements for the
eastern and western boundaries.
c) Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this zoning code work unnecessary and undue hardship
on the applicant or create practical difficulties on the applicant. Yes. The proposed tower is a permitted
use at this location that will accommodate critically important essential services communications.
Applicant has demonstrated, through an engineer’s certification, that the proposed structure is
designed to meet the underlying purpose of the separation requirement (i.e., distance and safety with
respect to neighboring properties).
Without the variance, to enjoy the permitted use, the applicant would be required to substantially
decrease the tower’s height and effectiveness for essential services communications. It would be an
unnecessary and undue hardship to interpret the zoning code literally under these circumstances –
particularly when the proposed tower meets one of two measurements specifically articulated in the
LDC to ensure safety and protection of neighboring properties (i.e., the tower’s certified collapse area).
d) Will the variance, if granted, be the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land, building or structure and which promote standards of health, safety or welfare. Yes. Applicant
is proposing the minimum variance necessary to make reasonable use of the land and proposed
structure.
e) Will granting the variance requested confer on the petitioner any special privilege that is denied by
these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. No. The
Applicant is not requesting and special privilege, and granting the requested variance will not give
Applicant any special privilege that is denied to other property in this zoning district. Communications
towers of this height are a permitted use in this zoning district, and the tower is designed to withstand
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 173 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
hurricane force winds, and to buckle within a 100’ x 100’ collapse area, in the highly unlikely event of a
total structural failure.
f) Will granting the variance be in harmony with the intent and purpose of this zoning code, and not be
injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Yes. The location and nature of the proposed variance meets the intent and purpose of the LDC
separation requirement at issue: i.e., the safety of neighboring property and structures. The tower will
not be injurious or detrimental to the neighborhood or to the public, and in the unlikely event of
structural failure, the tower is designed to fall within a 100’ x 100’ certified collapse area. The outside
perimeter of the certified collapse area is located a considerable distance from neighboring land
boundaries (46.0’ to the western boundary; 24.7’ to the eastern boundary), and several hundred feet
from any neighboring structure. The tower will provide a benefit to the public, and is designed to
prevent any detrimental impacts.
g) Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the goals and objectives
of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf course, etc. Essential public services
communications towers are critically important in this fairly remote area of the County. Population in
this area is less dense than urban areas, and communications at this location can be challenging in storm
and other emergency events.
h) Will granting the variance be consistent with the Growth Management Plan? Yes.

REV 1: Affidavit of Authorization - Provide the petition number (PL20190002701) and revise the
parcel number to 00307840002. Please delete references of Kendal Lotze/Ignite Wireless as this
affidavit of authorization only authorizes the property owner (Johannes Steffens) to give consent
to the contract purchaser (CitySwitch II, LLC) to act on the property owners behalf. This has been
corrected on the document named ( Kapok_Owner Affidavit of Authorization_Updated_8.4.2020
).
2. The Zoning Drawings (Sheet C-1) setbacks do not match the Project Narrative setback
numbers. In the Project Narrative & Separate Sheet responses document, in Section 1 it is
explained that the applicant is seeking a variance from the required 125’ separation requirement,
to allow (1) for the eastern boundary, a separation of 60’ (65’ less than required); and (2) for the
western boundary, a separation of 82’ (43’ less than required). However, in the Zoning Drawings,
Sheet Number C-1, the western setback is illustrated at 96'-2" and the eastern setback is

Packet Pg. 175 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
illustrated at 74'-5". Please revise these setback numbers for both documents to be consistent with
each other. This has been corrected on the drawings named ( Kapok Street - FLC009 - Zoning -
Rev 2 - 8_5_20 ) and it now correctly matches the Project Narrative & Separate Sheet response
document.
3. Pursuant to LDC 5.05.09(D)(E) and (F) for shared tower use, please demonstrate that either
you can or can not work an arrangement for a shared tower use? Please see the Collier County
Communication Towers Map as Towers 1 and 18 are in proximity to the Kapok St Cell Tower
property. Moreover, there is a Site Development Plan (SDP) application (PL20200000886) for a
proposed cell tower to be located at 550 Frangipani Avenue located approximately 2065 feet to
the east of the Kapok St Cell Tower property. Please explain why you can't share this tower? This
has been addressed in the supplemental attached document named ( Kapok_RESPONSE TO
STAFF COMMENT_8.4.2020 ).
Rejected Review: County Attorney Review; Reviewed By: Sally Ashkar
1. Your application states that the applicant is CitySwitch II, LLC, while the affidavits of
authorization state that the applicant is CitySwitch II-A LLC. Which is correct? They both appear
to be active companies. Please reconcile and update the affidavits or application. CitySwitch II-A,
LLC is the correct applicant company and this has been corrected on the application named (
Kapok_Variance Application_Revised_8.18.2020 ).
2. What role does J&J Wireless Consultants have in this application? If they are an additional
agent, they should be listed on the application in addition to Ignite. J&J Wireless Consultants,
Ignite Wireless, Inc. and Jeff Wright are all agents of CitySwitch II-A, LLC. This has been
corrected and added onto the application named ( Kapok_Variance
Application_Revised_8.18.2020 ) and affidavit of authorization named ( Kapok_Affidavit of
Authorization_New_8.18.2020 ) .
3. Please show the measurements in your cover letter for the proposed separation for the eastern
and western boundary on your site plan. There appears to be some inconsistency between the two
documents. The separation measurements should be accurately shown on the site plan. This has
been corrected on the drawings named ( Kapok Street - FLC009 - Zoning - Rev 2 - 8_5_20 ) and
it now correctly matches the Project Narrative & Separate Sheet response document.
4. Is City Switch leasing the property from Johannes Steffens or is it a contract purchaser? Please
provide evidence of legal use of the property. CitySwitch II-A, LLC is leasing the property from
Johannes Steffens. A redacted copy of the lease agreement is provided and named ( Kapok

RESPONSE TO STAFF COMMENT: TIMOTHY FINN #3
Staff comment:
Pursuant to LDC 5.05.09(D)(E) and (F) for shared tower use, please demonstrate that either you can or can not
work an arrangement for a shared tower use? Please see the Collier County Communication Towers Map as
Towers 1 and 18 are in proximity to the Kapok St Cell Tower property. Moreover, there is an Site Development
Plan (SDP) application (PL20200000886) for a proposed cell tower to be located at 550 Frangipani Avenue located
approximately 2065 feet to the east of the Kapok St Cell Tower property. Please explain why you can't share this
tower?
Response:
While we would consider any offer for another entity/provider to share the proposed tower on Kapok St., we are
not aware of any other towers that would provide necessary and adequate capacity and geographic coverage area
to achieve our objectives, and sharing another tower at another location is not a feasible option. To our
knowledge, there is no applicable separation requirement with respect to a tower at the Kapok St. location relative
to other towers in the vicinity.
As to the SDP application (PL20200000886) referenced in the staff comment, which relates to a proposed 185’
tower over 2,000 feet away from the proposed Kapok St. tower, that application was submitted on 7/27/2020,
according to the County’s website. The proposed Kapok St. tower is 250’, over 1/3 higher than the tower if the
application referenced by staff.
While the application for PL20200000886 was submitted on July 27, 2020, in the case of the Kapok St. Tower, a
preapplication meeting was first held November 12, 2019. As a result of that meeting, applicant prepared a
variance application, and a second pre‐application meeting was held on December 4, 2019 for the variance. At the
December 4, 2019 pre‐application meeting, applicant was advised (in error) that the tower use was not allowed by
right, and that a conditional use would be required.
Following a subsequent application for zoning interpretation, on March 17, 2020, staff formally determined the
use was a permitted use at this location, and that a conditional use was not required, but reiterated that a variance
would be necessary. Applicant has since filed the variance application that is presently under review.
Applicant first formally requested approval requirements for the tower in August 2019 (see ZLTR‐PL20190001999),
and has been diligently pursuing approval of the tower since then. Applicant has engaged in sincere, costly, and
diligent efforts over the past 11 months. This has included two pre‐application meetings, two ZVL’s, and
uncertainty created by erroneous “conditional use” instruction. Given Applicant’s significant efforts, the lack of any
codified tower separation requirement, the lack of any record of any tower application being filed until 7/27/2020,
and the significant investment incurred to date, it is appropriate for Applicant to move forward with its plans at
this location, which have been a matter of public record for almost a year.
Concurrent with these efforts, Applicant notified the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) of its plans, and the
FAA issued a formal “Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation” on October 23, 2019 for the proposed Kapok
St. tower. FAA notification is the industry standard for putting other would‐be tower owners on notice that there
is a tower application pending. The tower application referenced by staff (PL20200000886) has not, to our
knowledge, registered with or received any such determination from the FAA.

Dear Property Owner:
Please be advised that the sender has made a formal application to Collier C ounty for a
variance from the requirements of the zoning regulations as they apply to the following
described property:

SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 15, Township 49 S, Range 27
E. in Collier County, Florida. ]
It is our intent to ask the County to allow us to receive a variance for the setback distance
required for the proposed communication tower on the aforementioned property.
Additionally, the proposed tower is separated from surrounding property boundaries in
all directions by a distance that far exceeds its certified collapse ar ea (i.e., it meets the
lesser of the two distance measurements provided in the LDC, in all directions). However,
because the proposed tower does not meet the greater of the two LDC distance
measurements with respect to eastern and western boundaries, a variance is necessary.
In order to provide you an opportunity to become fully aware of our intention, we will be
contacting you directly within the next few days or you may choose to telephone the
sender for further information. In any event, please be advi sed that we are interested in
assuring you that our request should not adversely affect your property interest.

NEPA SUMMARY REVIEW
Ignite Wireless, Inc
FCC NEPA Summary Report
Kapok
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
RESCOM Environmental completed a NEPA Summary for the above referenced project to determine
potential affects to Special Interest Items 1-9 listed in 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Section 1.1307(a).
This NEPA Impact Assessment was performed in consideration of 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Sections
1.1301-1.1319 and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas
(NPAC). CitySwitch proposes the construction of a 250’ self-supporting lattice style telecommunications
tower within a 100’ x 100’ lease area.
REGULATORY SUMMARY:
Based on CFR 36, Part 800, Subpart B of the National Historic Preservation Act and the FCC’s NPA,
new construction projects are required to be submitted for Section 106 Review to State Historic
Preservation Offices and interested Tribal Groups. Additionally, based on 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1,
Section 1.1306 (Note 1), construction of new telecommunications facilities requires a review of impacts
to the following Special Interest Items: wilderness areas, wildlife preserves, threatened and endangered
species, designated floodplains, and changes to surface features.
AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS:
Based on the height of the tower and procedures outlined by the NPA, the Area of Potential Effects (APE)
for indirect visual effects is a 0.75-mile radius from the tower center. The Visual APE is largely buffered
by residential development, mature trees and agricultural development. The APE for direct effects is
limited to the subject property and leased areas.
HISTORIC RESEARCH:
State Historic Preservation Office records were reviewed to determine if any listed or eligible historic
resources exist within the APE. Additionally, RESCOM reviewed the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP) online database and Google Earth layer to determine if any listed historic resources exist within
the APE. RESCOM identified no historic resources within the project APEs that required SHPO
evaluation. Historic resource information and photographs are included within the SHPO submission in
Attachment A.
SITE RECONNAISSANCE:
RESCOM Environmental completed a site visit to photograph the subject property, adjacent properties,
and any present historic resources within the indirect visual APE. An archaeological survey was
conducted as ground disturbing activities are associated with the proposed project and archaeological
clearance was recommended (See Attachment A).
SHPO CONSULTATION:
RESCOM consulted with the Florida State Historic Preservation Office’s (SHPO) to conduct a Section
106 Review for the proposed project. RESCOM provided a cultural resources evaluation report for
Section 106 Review to the SHPO on October 24, 2019, requesting concurrence of the “no historic
properties” determination. RESCOM received a response from the SHPO on November 22, 2019
indicating concurrence of the determination of “no historic properties.”
The SHPO consultation process allows additional consulting parties to comment on impacts to historic
resources from federal undertakings. RESCOM consulted with the appropriate jurisdiction officials as well
as a local historic preservation entity to seek comment on effects from the undertaking. Letters were
mailed to these groups on October 9, 2019, outlining the proposed project and inviting them to comment
on the potential for the proposed project to effect historic resources. RESCOM contacted the Naples
Daily News and posted a “Public Participation” ad in the paper on September 14, 2019. The proposed
project was described in detail and “questions, comments, and correspondence” were solicited from the
public regarding potential effect to historic properties. RESCOM did not receive any response from the
public concerning historic properties for this project.

NEPA SUMMARY REVIEW
Ignite Wireless, Inc
FCC NEPA Summary Report
Kapok
Per the NPA, the applicant must allow a period of 30 days for the public and all consulting parties to
provide comment on the proposed project. All requirements with respect to SHPO consultation are
complete. See Attachment A for full SHPO details.
TRIBAL CONSULTATION:
RESCOM utilized the Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS) maintained by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) to identify any tribal entities with interest in the area of the proposed
project. The FCC responded, assigning the project with TCNS number 189171. All tribal groups have
either responded indicating no concern with the proposed project, provided an exclusion via TCNS, or
been closed out by the FCC. Therefore, all requirements with respect to THPO consultation are complete.
All Tribal consultation documentation is in Attachment B.
All Tribes do request immediate notification should human remains or objects under NAGPRA become
uncovered during construction.
WILDERNESS AREAS & WILDLIFE PRESERVES:
RESCOM reviewed maps published by the National Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS), and Wilderness.net, and found no Wildlife Preserves, Wilderness Areas, National Grasslands,
National Forests, or National Scenic Trails are located at or near the subject property. Additionally, no
Wildlife Preserves, Wilderness Areas, National Grasslands, National Forests, or National Scenic Tra ils
were noted during the site visit (See Attachment C).
THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES & CRITICAL HABITATS:
An informal biological assessment was conducted at the subject property to determine if habitats
necessary to support listed species or critical habitats exist at the subject property and in the immediate
vicinity. The informal biological assessment is based on visual observations of on-site conditions and
general habitats as compared to data acquired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Based on information obtained from the USFWS, habitats necessary to support federally listed
threatened and endangered species do not occur at or in the vicinity of the subject property. Therefore,
the proposed project could affect any listed threatened or endangered species. In addition, there are no
designated critical habitats at or in the vicinity of the subject property (See Attachment C).
DESIGNATED FLOODPLAINS:
RESCOM reviewed flood insurance maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The subject property is within the boundary of a designated floodplain, however, project plans are being
developed to ensure all essential equipment will be higher than 14 feet—1 foot above the mapped flood
stage of between 12 and 13 feet (See Attachment C).
CHANGES TO SURFACE FEATURES:
RESCOM reviewed a digitized National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map compiled with data maintained
by the USFWS. Based on a review of the NWI map, the proposed project will not fall within a designated
wetland. Furthermore, the scope of project does not call for wetland fill, water diversion, or deforestation.
Therefore, the proposed project will not cause a significant change in surface features (See Attachment
C).

APE for INDIRECT EFFECTS
The INDIRECT area of potential effects is defined by the FCC’s Nationwide Programmatic
Agreement (NPA) as “the geographic area in which the Undertaking has the potential to
introduce visual elements that diminish or alter the setting, including the landscape, where the
setting is a character-defining feature of a Historic Property that makes it eligible for listing on
the National Register.” Based on the FCC’s NPA, the indirect APE for projects involving
telecommunications towers between 200’ and 400’ should be a 0.75-mile radius.

INTRODUCTION
In response to a request from Ignite Wireless, Inc., RESCOM Environmental Corp., has
completed a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance and records check for a proposed
telecommunications tower site in Collier County, Florida (Figure 1). The project is
located approximately 12-miles northeast of Naples, Florida at 26°12'36.9"N
81°36'00.7"W in the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 15, Township 49 S, Range 27 E, as
seen on the as seen on the USGS 7.5' Belle Meade NE, FL, topographical quadrangle
(Figure 2). The project area consists of a wooded and natural grass covered location and
measures 100-ft by 100-ft for a proposed telecommunications tower site with a 351-ft by
30-ft access road to the north; approximately 0.50-acre in total (Figure 3).
RESCOM conducted an archaeological records check via the Florida Master Site File
and no archaeological sites overlapping the project area. Fieldwork was conducted on
September 25, 2019 by Jamie Cochran-Smith M.A., Ball State University 2011 and
Andrew Smith M.A., Ball State University 2010, Principal Investigator and Secretary of
Interior qualified professional archaeologist, and required 4 hours of fieldwork.
This report details the results of the records check and Phase Ia field reconnaissance
and presents the conclusions and recommendations of RESCOM concerning any
additional archaeological investigations.

NATURAL SETTING
The project area is located in the southwest portion of the state and lies within the
Floridian Section of the Coastal Plain province of the Atlantic Plain Physiographic
Region (United States Geological Survey 2008). The landscape in this portion of the state
also referred to as the Big Cypress region is primarily flat with elevation ranging from 5-
ft to 30-ft. soils are typically poorly drained overlaying limestone, sandstones, and marls.
Vegetation in the area consists of open scrub cypress, prairie grassland, pine flatwoods,
and wetlands (Brooks 1981, Griffith et al 1997).
Soil within the project area consist of Riviera fine sand, limestone substratum, 0 to 2
percent slopes (Web Soil Survey; accessed September 17, 2019). The Riviera Series
consists of very deep, poorly drained, very slowly permeable soils formed in stratified
sandy and loamy marine sediments. Riviera fine sands are generally located on broad,
low flats, flatwoods and in depressions in Southern Florida Lowlands (USDA 2014).
Prior to Euroamerican settlement the area was primarily covered in prairies and
flatwoods, and though portions remain that way, particularly within the Big Cypress
National Preserve, large areas have been cleared for development. Many aquatic as well
as mammalian species would have been available throughout the prehistoric period.
These species would have been representative of the mixed regional fauna and could
have included any of the following: black bear, eastern cottontail, woodchuck, gray
squirrel, fox squirrel, southern flying squirrel, beaver, raccoon, white-tailed deer, coyote,
dog, grey fox, red fox, turkey, salamander, soft shelled turtle, common musk turtle,
elegant slider turtle, garter snake, blue catfish, flathead, and several mussel species
(Howell 1915).

Given the environmental conditions of the project area and surrounding region, there
is the potential for the project area to contain previously unrecognized archaeological
sites. The following sections describe previous research conducted in and near the project
area and provide a general background of regional prehistory.
CULTURAL HISTORY
Florida’s history is long and complex, extending back at least 10,500 years and possibly
further. Among the many people who have shaped its past are historic tribes as well as
groups with and without historic tribal connections, including prehistoric groups,
European explorers and settlers, and others. Florida’s prehistory conforms well to what is
generally known about the prehistory of much of the southeastern US with major cultural
stages that include Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Woodland, Mississippian, Protohistoric, and
Historic periods. For the purposes of this report, chronological sequences have been
adapted from Bense (1994).
Paleoindian Period (~30,000-11,500 BP)
The Paleoindian period represents the earliest known occupation of North America by
Native Americans. Paleoindian groups rapidly dispersed across a wide range of
environments (Surovell 2000). These populations settled a dynamic landscape
undergoing rapid climatic and environmental changes, which led to the retreat of the
continental ice sheets northwards and increasing summer isolation (Haynes 1982; Shane
1994). It is generally thought that early Paleoindian groups were highly mobile, widely
scattered, lightly equipped opportunists that lived in small, egalitarian bands (Drago
1976: 9; Fitting 1975: 38; Mason 1981: 82; Wright 1995: 50). They moved on a seasonal
basis to more fully exploit a wide range of animal and plant resources while also in
pursuit of large herd animals.
Although subject to increasing scrutiny, the Clovis period is regarded by most
archaeologists as the earliest, or at least one of the earliest, known occupation(s) of the
North American continent by Native Americans. The original Clovis hypothesis posited
that groups of hunter-gatherers followed the Bering Land Bridge into North America
roughly 11,500-12,000 years ago and rapidly dispersed across the mid-continent. Their
degree or magnitude of mobility is shown by the fact that fluted points (Clovis, Folsom,
and others) have been discovered hundreds of kilometers from where the raw materials
were procured and where they were supposedly manufactured (Tankersley 1990, 1994;
Tankersley et al. 1990).
One of the key problems with the Clovis hypothesis, however, stems from a dearth of
evidence for Clovis occupation in those same regions where researchers would expect to
see evidence of Clovis culture arise first and more fully (Dillehay 2000; Dixon 1999).
This has led most archaeologists to consider other modes of mobility and regard the
peopling of North America as complex and multidirectional. Even so, most arguments
against pre-Clovis occupation place into question the reliability and consistency of
radiometric dates, note the lack of a clear, widespread pre-Clovis stratigraphy and related
material culture, and the cite the lack of corroborating data from other, interdisciplinary
3.C.f

5
studies (Hofman 1989: 26). Currently, there is no evidence for possible pre-Clovis
occupations in Florida.
Clovis Complexes/Early Paleoindian (ca. 11,500-11,000 BP)
Paleoindian settlement-subsistence strategies responded to environmental changes that
characterize the Late Pleistocene. Although Paleoindian settlement patterns are poorly
understood, Tankersley (1994:11) argues that such patterns shifted from landforms with
relatively low relief and open habitats to landforms characterized by more rugged terrain
and closed habitats. He has proposed an Early Paleoindian specialized hunter settlement
model based on the recognition of big game-related and lithic procurement-related
activities. Specifically, Early Paleoindian sites appear restricted to areas that attracted and
concentrated large migrating herd mammals, which included shallow river crossings,
kettle lakes, saline springs, marshes, sinkhole ponds, and sandy terraces of major streams
that created open vegetation patches. Also, they may be concentrated along overlooks
(e.g., crests of moraines) of riverine (aquatic and wetland) habitats and in proximity to
lithic outcrops (i.e., in the glaciated regions, lithic resources occur primarily in various
unconsolidated secondary deposits).
It is generally thought that Early Paleoindian groups were highly mobile (nomadic),
widely scattered, lightly equipped opportunists that lived in small egalitarian bands
(Dragoo 1976:9; Fitting 1975:38; Mason 1981:82; Wright 1995:50). They moved on a
seasonal basis to more fully exploit a wide range of animal and plant resources while also
in pursuit of large herd animals like mammoth and bison (Fagan 1991: 77; O’Brien and
Wood 1998: 34-35, 39). Their degree or magnitude of mobility is shown by the fact that
fluted projectile points (Clovis, Folsom, Dalton, and others) have been discovered
hundreds of kilometers from where the raw chert materials were procured and where they
were supposedly manufactured (Tankersley 1990, 1994; Tankersley et al. 1990). In
Florida, the majority of Paleoindian points have been recovered along eroded deposits
with little or no provenience data available (White 2002: 12).
The specialized hunting of large migratory herbivore prey required a small, efficient
toolkit consisting of bifacial and flake knives, a variety of scrapers, gravers, burin-like
tools including wedges, spoke-shaves, drills, hammerstones, billets (made of antler, bone,
ivory, or wood), blades struck from specially prepared polyhedral chert cores, and fluted
projectile points that could easily penetrate thick, tough animal hides (Mason 1981:86;
Tankersley 1990:9, 1994:96). During the time period of 11,000-10,000 BP, the eastern
U.S. experienced a climatic shift from frigid, boreal-like forests to warmer, deciduous
forests. This gradual shift to a warmer, wetter climate coincides with evidence of the
earliest occupation of the Piedmont Plateau in Florida, particularly near the Fall Line,
though full occupation does not arise until the Late Paleoindian period. Subsistence
patterns remained focused on large mammals during the Late to Middle Paleoindian
transition, which is clearly reflected by the continued persistence of utilitarian chipped
stone tool technologies.
Paleoindian components and sites in Florida are far more common than in other
portions of the American southeast. Some of the most notable sites in Florida from the
Middle to Late Paleoindian or Paleo-Archaic transitional periods in Florida include the
Page-Ladson site in northwestern Florida (Dunbar 2014), the Vero Man site near Vero
3.C.f

Beach (Viegas 2011), the Devil’s Den site near Williston, the Melbourne site along Crane
Creek, and the Warm Mineral Springs site near North Port (Purdy 2008), among others.
No large kill sites have been identified in the state, though some isolated point finds may
be interpreted as individual kill sites (Anderson et al. 1996: 61).
Middle Paleoindian (ca. 11,000-10,500 BP)
During the Middle Paleoindian period, the people inhabiting Florida began to settle in,
particularly in places where food was abundant. Our understanding of these later Paleo-
Indian cultures is, unfortunately, largely incomplete. A shift toward smaller, fluted points
and unfluted lanceolates is evident from sites throughout the southeast, which likely
indicates a shift in subsistence patterns as large game animals became increasingly scarce
and people began to rely on smaller game. Paleoindian social structure appeared to be
uniformly egalitarian. There is no evidence of social stratification found in the few
burials that date to this period in the southeast. Ritual or ceremonial evidence from this
period is even more scant and therefor difficult to interpret.
Late Paleoindian (10,500-10,000 BP)
The Late Paleoindian period is characterized by very gradual cultural change coinciding
with the terminal period of the Pleistocene and the transition to a warmer, wetter
Holocene climate and the start of the Archaic period around 8,000 BP. Earlier Clovis
points were gradually displaced by the Beaver Lake, Mariana, and Cumberland points,
and Hardaway lanceolates in Florida and denote the Paleoindian-Archaic transition. This
change probably also reflects a shift in subsistence from mammoth and other mega-fauna,
which at that point were nearly extinct, to hunting deer, and other mid-sized mammals
exclusively. Dalton points also appear during the Late Paleoindian period, but their
distribution, while exhibiting some variation regionally, encompasses nearly the entirety
of the eastern half of the United States.
Environmental changes more in-line with modern conditions seem to have brought
about changes in mobility. Occupations during this late period are characterized by small,
short-term camps and “disposable” or “expedient” tool kits, generally fashioned out of
broken points and reflect systems increasingly adapted to foraging (Binford 1980). The
location and exploitation of lithic and other natural resources likely played an important
role in Paleoindian people’s decisions about where to establish occupations and mobility
between these sites. An increasing reliance on local resources established a pattern of
seasonal use and mobility that is clearly reflected in the Archaic period.
Early Archaic Period (10,000-8000 BP)
The Archaic period in Florida marks a subtle but increasingly obvious departure from the
past and is largely associated with increasing sedentism, population size, and social
complexity. It is also characterized by new and diverse lithic technologies and
subsistence practices. Point types like Taylor, Bolen, Eva, Hardin and Palmer come into
production, indicating new approaches to fastening and using these tools and weapons as
evidenced by their notching. The introduction of the atlatl and dart certainly indicate

changes in hunting methods and prey. With the extinction of mega-fauna, smaller game
like deer, birds, fish, turtles, and squirrels become dietary staples during the Early
Archaic period, necessitating these smaller projectile points and darts. There is also a
marked increase in the number of plant food processing during this period, as well as the
additional exploitation of coastal resources. O’Steen’s research (1983: 68-69, 99)
demonstrates that Early Archaic site density near the Ocmulgee river was highest in areas
of greatest resource density and diversity, further promoting the link between populations
and resources.
Social changes followed on the heels of these wide-ranging climatic changes and new
resource procurement strategies. The size and membership of groups may have fluctuated
significantly during this period of intense ecological change, depending on seasonality
and other factors. Bands of hunters-gatherers lived throughout Florida, following
resources as they became available or were used up. The Russell Cave site in northern
Alabama is an example of such an Archaic period, seasonally occupied campsite (White
2002: 26-28). The stabilization of the climate made for optimal conditions for the
expansion of coastal ecosystems, which led to increased exploitation (and reliance upon)
these resources. As Anderson and Hanson (1988) have noted, large drainage systems may
have served subsistence/resource needs, while social interaction (ceremonial, formal and
informal exchange, mating, etc.) may have operated along and across watershed
boundaries. These findings paint a picture of incredible human (and non-human)
interaction on a dynamic landscape.
Middle Archaic Period (8000-5000 BP)
The Middle Archaic coincides with the apogee of the Altithermal, or Climactic Optimum,
which brought severe drought to most of the Central US and led to warmer, drier
conditions in the Southeast. Forests in Florida shifted toward pine and away from oak and
hickory, with those latter varieties receding farther north into the Piedmont Plateau area.
Native Americans in Florida started producing stemmed points, including Morrow
Mountain, Guilford, Benton, Putnam, Smith, and Stone square-stemmed points (White
2002: 28). Flake tools are common, as are ground stone tools (probably for plant
processing). It appears, based primarily on lithic evidence, that Middle Archaic people
became more settled than their Early Archaic predecessors, perhaps a result of reduced
territorial movement. Stone tools become increasingly made from local materials,
suggesting a preference for nearby resources. Likewise, subsistence strategies tended to
favor hunting, gathering, and foraging of local resources. Despite the increase in
sedentism during this period, there are no known evidence for long-term habitation in
Florida during the Middle Archaic.
Late Archaic Period (5000-3000 BP)
The extreme conditions of the Altithermal began to diminish around 3500 BP, leading to
widespread and often significant developments throughout the Southeastern US. As
wildlife population became more robust within the previously parched landscape, groups
adopted broad-spectrum hunting, gathering, and collecting. Around the same time, the
character of prehistoric communities in the eastern US begin to change. Populations

become larger and trading became increasingly prevalent, notably in conjunction with the
rise of Poverty Point in northeast Louisiana. Groups in the Southeastern US would seem
to have started becoming even more seasonally sedentary as evidenced by a more
intensive use of local, seasonal resources and the extensive reuse of earth ovens and
cooking pits (Wyckoff and Brooks 1983: 15) even as riverine trade and a taste for exotic
goods, perhaps facilitated by trade with Poverty Point peoples, was growing.
Subsistence practices largely continued as they had from the Middle Archaic, with
diversified medium and small game hunting as well as reliance on riverine and coastal
resources and plant foods, squash, beans, and nuts. The decline of Poverty Point (~ 3100
BP) was probably felt in Florida, especially in the western part of the state, in the form of
diminished trade, as exchange networks that had been built up throughout the eastern US
diminished with the site’s abandonment. Artifacts associated with this period include
large stone knives, darts, spear points with stemmed hafts, soapstone bowls and cooking
slabs, atlatl weights, metates, and stone drills. Stemmed points (Stanley, Morrow
Mountain, Guilford, Savannah River) replaced notched varieties, and cultural patterns
between the Piedmont region and the Coastal Plain began to diverge. Late Archaic
assemblages in Florida include Horr’s Island at the southern-most tip, Norwood along the
Gulf Coast, and Mount-Taylor-Orange along the Atlantic Coast. The earliest evidence for
long-term habitation appears during this period as well, in the form of oval-pit houses and
larger wattle and daub structures. The dead were cremated and/or buried, though, as in
previous periods, there is no indication of social stratification or status evidenced through
burials.
Shell rings (or shell middens) were a novel development among people living on
coastal settlements during the Late Archaic, which were built up over the span of
generations. These rings are usually formed from deposits of shell, bone, soil, and
artifacts, which, in some instances, were over ten feet thick. While there is much debate
over what these rings represent, there is at least moderate consensus among
archaeologists that they were, minimally, places of daily habitation (Thompson and
Andrus 2011: 315; Thompson and Turch 2009: 268). Another novel development in
Florida is the production and/or exchange of pottery (Anderson 1995: 160). Pottery from
this area is the oldest known example of prehistoric pottery in the United States.
Early Woodland (3000-2000 BP)
The Woodland period is generally associated with the fluorescence of pottery,
agriculture, and social stratification. Early Woodland peoples in Florida appear to have
continued with life as they had in the Late Archaic. House patterns remained circular,
generally arranged around a plaza. Subsistence was still largely based on small to
medium-sized game and foraging/gathering, though evidence for early horticulture dates
to this period. Some traditions were modified, such as ceramic bowls that were made with
new tempers and occasionally decorated with fabric impressions or grooved patterns and
designs. Projectile points like Big Sandy, Bolen, Neuberger, Wade, and Stanley types
replace older Late Archaic types. Other facets of cultural life in the Woodland period
appear to be completely new. Most notably, burials appear to have been accompanied by
greater ceremonialism and, increasingly, the period witnesses the development of clearly
elite burials accompanied by ceramics and other goods.

Shell ring sites, which flourished during the Late Archaic, were abandoned in the
Early Woodland, likely due to rise in sea level and flooding events. In the eastern US, the
Woodland period is associated with the rise of the Hopewell Interaction Sphere. The
Hopewell phenomenon is known from data collected primarily from the lower Illinois
River valley and the Scioto and central Ohio River valleys of southern Ohio. The trends
of the preceding time periods continue with increasing sedentism, population growth,
horticultural intensification, and investment in mortuary ceremonialism involving stone-
lined mound construction and a diverse assemblage of exotic ceremonial artifacts (Brose
and Greber 1979). The Hopewell Interaction Sphere was vast, stretching from what is
modern day Ontario, Canada to the Gulf Coast of Texas. To the West, Hopewell reached
as far as eastern Kansas.
Evidence of Hopewell influence is fairly abundant in Northern Florida. A more
significant influence in the southern part of the state is the Pre-Glades culture. The Gulf
Deptford phase along the Gulf Coast of Florida dates to the Early Woodland. Older yet is
the Norwood phase along the same region as the Gulf Deptford. The St John’s Phase was
located along the Atlantic Coast.
Middle Woodland (2000-1600 BP)
The Glades culture was the dominant cultural presence throughout southern Florida.
Glades culture is a continuation of earlier Pre-Glade cultures, and its material culture is
characterized pottery tempered with sand, grit, and grog and designed made using cords,
fabric, and brushing (Bense 1994: 137-140). Lithics within the Carolinas and Tennessee
show a shift from small, square-stemmed stone points to triangular, concave base points.
Lithics within Florida remained stemmed triangular-blade points along with the Flint
Creek types Mound building (including burial mounds) is also common to Swift Creek
and other peoples in Florida and throughout the Southeast, much more so in Middle-Late
Woodland and later Mississippian periods than in previous Archaic sub-periods (Dumas
2015).
Other parts of the state exhibit different cultural spheres. Swift Creek culture
dominated in northern-most Florida. In the Atlantic coastal region, the Middle Woodland
is synonymous with St. Johns Ia culture, while Manasota culture characterized the Gulf
Coast. Santa Rosa Swift Creek Culture could be found in the far western portion of the
state. In each of these areas, Hopewell culture influenced both the structure of local
communities, their burial practices, and even their investments in horticulture. Hopewell
influence was pervasive and lasted well into the Late Woodland period.
Late Woodland (1600-1200 BP)
Populations (and settlements) grow significantly during the Late Woodland period and
bow and arrow technology gains dominance over earlier atlatl technology—though it
does not completely displace it until well into the Late Woodland. A number of cultural
complexes arise in Florida at this time, including Glades in the southern part of the state,
St John’s II along the Atlantic Coast, and Weeden Island along the Gulf Coast and into
the eastern portion of the state (Bense 1994: 162-181).

Projectile points from this period reflect the transition to bow-and-arrow and are
correspondingly thinner and smaller. Common point types include Broward stemmed and
expanding stemmed types, Cooley contracting stem, Duval sub-types, Florida Copena
Triangular types, and Yadkin and Leon types. A growing reliance on domesticated plant
foods and horticulture does not displace hunting and fishing for food, but it does set the
stage for Early Mississippian agriculture and a new social order that develops with and
from it.
Late Prehistoric/Mississippian Period (1200-400 BP)
In the Eastern US, this period is described broadly as the Mississippian, and certain
developments in Florida reflect local manifestations of Mississippian influence as well as
resistance to that influence. The Mississippian Period is distinguished by the rise of
chiefdom-level social organization in the mid-continent. These “emergent” Mississippian
polities tended toward a highly integrated site-size hierarchy and ranked societies
integrated into a complex socio-religious order and trade/surplus networks fueled by
farming and surplus (Pauketat 2009). This period witnessed the revitalization and
extension of vast trade networks of “exotic” goods vis-à-vis Cahokia, the largest and
most influential of the Mississippian polities. Trade and migration extended to and from
Oneota populations to the north and South and West into Caddo territories; Southeast into
Gulf Coast Plaquemine, and Appalachian lands and East into Fort Ancient communities-
a vast area known as the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex. Lithic production became
increasingly specialized, crafted for optimum effect in hunting and warfare as evidenced
by a vast range of small, triangular notched points and Ramey knives.
To some extent, activities in Florida can be understood as local adaptations and
change within a wider context of influence form the Cahokia polity. Early Mississippian
cultural phases in the state include St John’s III culture along the Atlantic coast, Glades
culture in far south Florida, Late Caloosa-Hatchee along the southern portion of the Gulf
Coast, Safety Harbor along the remainder of the Gulf Coast, Cades Pond in central
Florida, and Fort Walton in the eastern-most portion of the state. The earliest signs of a
chiefdom in Florida are found on the Atlantic coast around 1150-1200 A.D, evidenced by
small settlements with plazas and platform and burial mounds. Palisades and ditches are
also found at sites in Florida’s interior, reflecting the need for security during a time of
heightened warfare and competition for political dominance.
Extensive trade networks brought exotic materials to Florida, and artistic traditions
seemed to develop to a previously unknown level throughout the Mississippian world as
a result. Projectile points, including ceremonial points that were highly decorative or
made of exotic or delicate material, are found throughout the Eastern US, as are
elaborately carved gorgets, pottery, pipes, and beads. Some objects, like beads, celts, and
ornaments were fashioned from raw copper acquired through mining or trade. These
items frequently served ritual or ceremonial purposes, and Native peoples throughout the
Southeast frequently interred these goods in elite burials. Taken together, archaeologists
regard these items and social developments of evidence of the Southeastern Ceremonial
Complex (King 2018). Diagnostic projectile points for this period include Fort Ancient
triangular blades and points, Jackson side-notched points, Madison and Mississippi
triangular points, and Mouse Creek points.

Locally, the Middle Mississippian phases are represented in Florida by the St John’s
IIb Culture along the Atlantic Coast, Glades III culture in the far south, Caloosa-Hatchee
III culture along the southern portion of the Gulf Coast, Late Safety Harbor culture along
the remainder of the Gulf Coast, Alachua culture in the central portion of the state, and
Fort Walton culture in the far western portion of the state. Late Mississippian cultural
complexes include the St, John’s IIb culture along the Atlantic Coast, the Glades III
culture in the far south, the Caloosa-Hatchee IV culture along the southern portion of the
gulf coast, the Late Safety Harbor culture along the remainder of the Gulf Coast, the
Lamar culture in the north of the state, and the Fort Walton culture in the far eastern
portion of the state.
Protohistoric Period (1513 A.D. – 1670 A.D.)
By A.D. 1400, Cahokia and other Mississippian centers in the Eastern US began to falter.
Overpopulation and internal political strife and instability coincided with soil erosion and
depletion of nutrients in the soil from over-farming. The complex trade networks that had
been developed were abandoned, and the power of elites increasingly depended on
limited commodities rather than surplus. Evidence from burials in this period suggests
chronic, deadly warfare in much of the eastern US. A combination of ecological
pressures and upheavals within the alliance that linked them appears to have doomed
Cahokia and other Mississippian centers.
The vacuum created by Cahokia’s downfall presented new opportunities for some
communities, and new centers rise up in Montreal, Fort Orange/Albany, Charleston, and
elsewhere, permanently altering the patterns of exchange in eastern North America. The
riverine trade system that had developed in the interior continent during the Mississippian
gave way to one where goods arrived from and were directed to the Atlantic coast and,
with the arrival of the first European explorers, Europe (Salisbury 1996: 449).
Eventually, the Middle Mississippian economy turned away from maize surplus and
toward trade in slaves, hides, beads, and, with the arrival of the very first Europeans,
guns. (Beck 2013).
When the first Europeans reached North America1, the continent's demographic
and political map was in a state of profound flux, owed in no small part to the decline of
Mississippian chiefdoms (Salisbury 1996: 449). The accounts of early Spanish
chroniclers paint a picture of a mound building culture on the wane. Scarce accounts
from the Ponce de Leon expedition describe pockets of plenty, communities surviving,
even flourishing, against a larger background of warfare and illness (some of it brought
on by Europeans), and food scarcity.
Historic Period (1670-Present)
European colonizers brought with them numerous tactical advantages, most notably guns
and epidemic diseases (and their own immunity to them), that utterly devastated Indian
1 The earliest chronicles of Europeans in Florida come from the Juan Ponce de Leon expedition, which first
reached the shores of present-day east Florida on April 3, 1513. The Ponce de Leon expedition had a
profound and largely negative effect on Native communities in the southeast, and effect that would grow
only worse with the arrival of European settlers.

communities. They also brought ideological, economic, political, and military systems
organized, in part, for the possession of Indian lands and the subordination of Indian
peoples. By the mid-eighteenth century, the rapid expansion of English colonies (and
imposition of British colonial laws) had replaced older traditions of exchange and
alliance linking natives and colonizers nearly everywhere east of the Appalachians,
driving many Indians West and forcing them into a scattering of politically powerless
enclaves (Salisbury 1996: 458).
The years leading up to and following the Revolutionary War were tumultuous for
Native Americans, whose tribal leaders had, through a series of treaties and intertribal
negotiations and conflict, largely (though not entirely) pledged neutrality during the war.
Nevertheless, one of the first acts of the newly established Congress, was the creation of
three departments of Indian Affairs. These departments were created to deal with what
was already arising as the “Indian problem” in the purview of the newly established
government of the United States of America, which included real and perceived
interference with Colonial commerce, culture, and plans for westward expansion. The
establishment of Arkansas Territory in 1819 included most of present-day Oklahoma
until the Arkansas border was established in 1824 and then again in 1828 following
objections from Choctaws and Cherokees.
From 1824 onward, Native Americans were subject to the jurisdiction of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, newly established as a division of the War Department. That same year,
the Sac and Fox Nation and the Ioway Nations of Indians ceded their traditional lands in
Missouri (7 Stat., 229. Proclamation, Jan. 18,1825: 207; 7 Stat 231. Proclamation Jan. 18,
1825). In the southern US, tribes had been nearly decimated by war with the federal
government and with other tribes, leading tribes like the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and
others to give up their lands in surrender hoping to keep at least a portion of it. The
Indian Intercourse Act of 1834 established the legal boundaries of “Indian Country,” (and
eventually “Indian Territory”), which included modern-day Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Kansas, Nebraska, and part of Iowa. The reservation ideology and subsequent system of
land tenure and allotment and economic exploitation had developed over time, the wheels
of which had been in motion since as early as 1790.
Violence against Native peoples continued, politically (at both the federal and state
levels), economically, and interpersonally, as pressure mounted to push Native peoples
off dwindling Native lands. The response of Native peoples varied, some seeking
peaceful relations with Europeans, others looking to leverage the instability fomented by
European tactics, while others retaliated. Indian removal to the west had been part of
American policy since the Articles of Confederation, but the 1830 Indian Removal Act
marked a change from voluntary relocation, the Jeffersonian Ideal earlier in the century,
into one of forced removal, or the Jacksonian Ideal (Chapman 1965, Washburn 1975).
The Five Civilized Tribes purchased new lands in present-day Oklahoma, but some
relocated farther north. All remaining Native peoples were forcefully removed that same
year and relocated to reservations under the 1830 Act. The forced relocation of Native
Americans to Indian Territory, marked by resistance, setbacks, dislocation, and incredible
suffering and death, took decades to accomplish. The path of removal, which brought
Native peoples from the eastern and southeastern US to Indian Territory, is known as The
Trail of Tears (1830-~1850) (Foreman 1934; Bailey 1972). The conditions,
consequences, and routes of removal to (or establishment within) Indian Territory and the
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 268 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
13
ceding of lands varied greatly from tribe to tribe. In Florida, this forced removal was
largely marked by the three Seminole Wars, occurring from approximately 1817-1818,
1835-1842, and 1855-1858 resulting in great numbers of deaths and forced relocation of
the Seminole people. It is estimated that only a few hundred Seminoles remained after
these conflicts in the Everglades. The last, and one of the most devastating, forced
removals east of the Mississippi was of the Cherokee in 1838, and an estimated 2000-
6000 Cherokee died on the forced march to Oklahoma (Thornton 1991).
Florida’s role in the Civil War was less substantial than some other states, though
there were some major effects. There were many smaller skirmishes that took place in
Florida and only one large battle known as the Battle of Olustee. More significant was the
contribution of goods, particularly food for confederate troops that came from Florida.
This led to a blockade of the state and occupation of several Florida ports by Union
troops to effectively stifle their ability to serve the confederate army.
PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS
An archaeological records check was conducted via the Florida Master Site File on
August 30, 2019 determined there are no previously recorded archaeological sites
overlapping the project area or within a mile. Additionally, there are no historic structures
or resources listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the Florida Master Site
File database within the project area.
METHODS
Fieldwork was conducted on September 25, 2019 and recovered no artifacts. The project
area at the time of the reconnaissance consisted of a wooded and natural grass covered
location with no surface visibility (Figure 4). A pedestrian survey at 2-meter intervals
was conducted throughout the entire project area in order to identify any cultural
materials or possible prior disturbance. A shovel testing methodology was employed
through the entire project area due to limited surface visibility. A total of twelve shovel
tests were conducted in accordance with certain SHPO and Tribal methodologies (Figure
5). Shovel test intervals were determined based on the standards outlined by the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for Archeological Documentation. Shovel tests measured at
least 35-cm by 35-cm and were excavated well into obvious subsoil. Soils from shovel
tests were screened through ¼-inch mesh and exposed soil profiles were visually
examined for cultural materials and/or evidence of buried cultural horizons. Shovel tests
were backfilled upon completion.
RESULTS
No cultural materials or features were identified during the pedestrian survey or shovel
testing. Soil encountered within the project area were consistent with the Riviera Series, a
representative soil profile encountered consisted of an A Horizon of dark grayish brown
(10YR 4/2) sand very friable with moderate roots (0-14cmbs) over a subsoil of very pale
brown (10YR 8/2) sand (Figure 6).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In response to a request from Ignite Wireless, Inc., RESCOM Environmental Corp., has
completed a Phase Ia archaeological reconnaissance and records check for a proposed
telecommunications tower site in Collier County, Florida. The project is located
approximately 12-miles northeast of Naples, Florida at 26°12'36.9"N 81°36'00.7"W in
the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 15, Township 49 S, Range 27 E, as seen on the as
seen on the USGS 7.5' Belle Meade NE, FL, topographical quadrangle. The project area
consists of a wooded and natural grass covered location and measures 100-ft by 100-ft for
a proposed telecommunications tower site with a 351-ft by 30-ft access road to the north;
approximately 0.50-acre in total.
No cultural resources were discovered during the current survey. It is our
recommendation that there are no archaeological sites eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places within the project area and we recommend archaeological
clearance.

Dear Applicant:
Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower
Construction Notification System (TCNS). The purpose of this electronic mail message is to
inform you that the following authorized persons were sent the notification that you provided
through TCNS, which relates to your proposed antenna structure. The information was forwarded
by the FCC to authorized TCNS users by electronic mail and/or regular mail (letter). We note
that the review period for all parties begins upon receipt of the Submission Packet pursuant to
Section VII.A of the NPA and notifications that do not provide this serve as information only.
Persons who have received the notification that you provided include leaders or
their designees of federally-recognized American Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages
(collectively "Tribal Nations"), Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), and State Historic
Preservation Officers (SHPOs). For your convenience in identifying the referenced Tribal
Nations and NHOs and in making further contacts, the City and State of the Seat of Government
for each Tribal Nation and NHO, as well as the designated contact person, is included in the
listing below. We note that Tribal Nations may have Section 106 cultural interests in ancestral
homelands or other locations that are far removed from their current Seat of Government.
Pursuant to the Commission's rules as set forth in the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for
Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal
Communications Commission (NPA), all Tribal Nations and NHOs listed below must be afforded a
reasonable opportunity to respond to this notification, consistent with the procedures set forth
below, unless the proposed construction falls within an exclusion designated by the Tribal
Nation or NHO. (NPA, Section IV.F.4).
The notification that you provided was forwarded to the following Tribal Nations
and NHOs. A Tribal Nation or NHO may not respond until a full Submission Packet is provided.
If, upon receipt, the Tribal Nation or NHO does not respond within a reasonable time, you
should make a reasonable effort at follow-up contact, unless the Tribal Nation or NHO has agreed
to different procedures (NPA, Section IV.F.5). In the event a Tribal Nation or NHO does not
respond to a follow-up inquiry, or if a substantive or procedural disagreement arises between
you and a Tribal Nation or NHO, you must seek guidance from the Commission (NPA, Section IV.G).
These procedures are further set forth in the FCC's Second Report and Order released on March
30, 2018 (FCC 18-30).

TCNS automatically forwards all notifications to all Tribal Nations and SHPOs
that have an expressed interest in the geographic area of a proposal. However, if a proposal for
PTC wayside poles falls within a designated exclusion, you need not expect any response and need
not pursue any additional process with that Tribal Nation or SHPO. In addition, a particular
Tribal Nation or SHPO may also set forth policies or procedures within its details box that
exclude from review certain facilities (for example, a statement that it does not review
collocations with no ground disturbance; or that indicates that no response within 30 days
indicates no interest in participating in pre-construction review).
Please be advised that the FCC cannot guarantee that the contact(s) listed above

Dear Applicant:
This letter addresses the proposed communications facilities listed below that you have
referred to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for purposes of contacting
federally recognized Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively Indian
Tribes), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), as specified by Section IV.G of the
Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Consistent with the procedures outlined in the
Commission's Wireless Infrastructure Second Report and Order (1), we have contacted the Indian
Tribes or NHOs identified in the attached Table for the projects listed in the attached Table.
You referred these projects to us between 12/12/2019 and 12/19/2019. Our contact with these
Tribal Nations or NHOs was sent on 12/19/2019.
Thus, as described in the Wireless Infrastructure Second Report and Order (2), if you or
Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any
Tribe or NHO within 15 calendar days of 12/19/2019, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA
with respect to these Tribal Nations or NHOs are complete. If a Tribal Nation or NHO responds
that it has concerns about a historic property of traditional religious and cultural
significance that may be affected by the proposed construction within the 15 calendar day
period, the Applicant must involve it in the review as set forth in the NPA, and may not begin
construction until the process set forth in the NPA is completed.
You are reminded that Section IX of the NPA imposes independent obligations on an
Applicant when a previously unidentified site that may be a historic property, including an
archeological property, is discovered during construction or after the completion of review. In
such instances, the Applicant must cease construction and promptly notify, among others, any
potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO. A Tribal Nation's or NHO's failure to express
interest in participating in pre-construction review of an undertaking does not necessarily mean
it is not interested in archeological properties or human remains that may inadvertently be
discovered during construction. Hence, an Applicant is still required to notify any potentially
affected Tribal Nation or NHO of any such finds pursuant to Section IX or other applicable law.
Sincerely,
Jill Springer

Dear Applicant:
This letter addresses the proposed communications facilities listed below that you have
referred to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for purposes of contacting
federally recognized Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively Indian
Tribes), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), as specified by Section IV.G of the
Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Consistent with the procedures outlined in the

You referred these projects to us between 11/28/2019 and 12/05/2019. Our contact with these
Tribal Nations or NHOs was sent on 12/05/2019.
Thus, as described in the Wireless Infrastructure Second Report and Order (2), if you or
Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any
Tribe or NHO within 15 calendar days of 12/05/2019, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA

Dear Applicant:
Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower
Construction Notification System (TCNS). The purpose of this electronic mail message is to
inform you that the following authorized persons were sent the notification that you provided
through TCNS, which relates to your proposed antenna structure. The information was forwarded
by the FCC to authorized TCNS users by electronic mail and/or regular mail (letter). We note
that the review period for all parties begins upon receipt of the Submission Packet pursuant to
Section VII.A of the NPA and notifications that do not provide this serve as information only.
Persons who have received the notification that you provided include leaders or
their designees of federally-recognized American Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages
(collectively "Tribal Nations"), Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), and State Historic
Preservation Officers (SHPOs). For your convenience in identifying the referenced Tribal
Nations and NHOs and in making further contacts, the City and State of the Seat of Government
for each Tribal Nation and NHO, as well as the designated contact person, is included in the
listing below. We note that Tribal Nations may have Section 106 cultural interests in ancestral
homelands or other locations that are far removed from their current Seat of Government.
Pursuant to the Commission's rules as set forth in the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for
Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal
Communications Commission (NPA), all Tribal Nations and NHOs listed below must be afforded a
reasonable opportunity to respond to this notification, consistent with the procedures set forth
below, unless the proposed construction falls within an exclusion designated by the Tribal
Nation or NHO. (NPA, Section IV.F.4).
The notification that you provided was forwarded to the following Tribal Nations
and NHOs. A Tribal Nation or NHO may not respond until a full Submission Packet is provided.
If, upon receipt, the Tribal Nation or NHO does not respond within a reasonable time, you
should make a reasonable effort at follow-up contact, unless the Tribal Nation or NHO has agreed
to different procedures (NPA, Section IV.F.5). In the event a Tribal Nation or NHO does not
respond to a follow-up inquiry, or if a substantive or procedural disagreement arises between
you and a Tribal Nation or NHO, you must seek guidance from the Commission (NPA, Section IV.G).
These procedures are further set forth in the FCC's Second Report and Order released on March
30, 2018 (FCC 18-30).

Florida - Tamiami Station (PO Box: 440021) Miami, FL - hopel@miccosukeetribe.com - 239-695-4360
- regular mail
If the applicant/tower builder receives no response from the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians
of Florida within 30 days after notification through TCNS, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of
Florida has no interest in participating in pre-construction review for the proposed site. The
Applicant/tower builder,
however, must immediately notify the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida in the event

Informal Biological Report
Kapok Tower
Site Name: Kapok Tower Site Number:
Site Location: Kapok St & Frangipani Ave, Naples, Collier County, FL 34117
Project Type: Proposed construction of a 250’ self-supporting lattice style telecommunications
tower
Unless stated otherwise, for the purpose of this report RESCOM Environmental Corp assessed
the direct project area and a 30’ buffer in all directions from the boundary of all proposed lease
areas.
REGULATORY STATEMENT:
This Informal Biological Assessment (IBA) is being performed in conjunction with a NEPA
assessment as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) referenced in 47 CFR
Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Sections 1.130-1.1319. This IBA addresses potential affects to threatened
and endangered species and critical habitats as referenced in 47 CFR 1.1307 (a) 3. Additionally,
this IBA addresses potential affects to migratory birds as referenced in the Note to 47 CFR 1.1307
(d). For the purposes of this report, RESCOM assessed threatened and endangered species as
contained in 50 CFR 17.11, 17.22, 222.23(a), 227.4, critical habitats as contained in 50 CFR
17.95, 17.96, and part 226, and migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
CitySwitch proposes the construction of a 250’ self-supporting lattice style telecommunications
tower within a 100’ x 100’ lease area. A proposed driveway off Kapok Street will be utilized for
access. The proposed project will route utilities to the nearest power and telco sources.
Potential ground disturbance and habitat impact will be limited to the proposed 100’ x 100’ lease
area, access easement, and utility easement.
LOCAL HABITAT:
RESCOM conducted a field reconnaissance of the proposed project area and determined the
habitat at the subject property consists of a grass lot and dirt road. Habitats at the adjacent
properties include scattered trees, grass lots, and bushes in all directions.
CRITICAL HABITAT, WILDLIFE REFUGES, AND WETLANDS:
RESCOM utilized the USFWS Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) decision support
system to determine if there are any critical habitats or National Wildlife Refuges within or near
the proposed project area. Based on the IPaC results, there are no critical habitats or National
Wildlife Refuges at or near the proposed project area.
Based on a review of the digitized National Wetlands Inventory maintained by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), the subject property is not within the boundary of a designated wetland.
Additionally, no wetland indicators such as wetland vegetation or standing water were noted at
the time of the field inspection. According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)
Web Soil Survey, underlying soils consist of Riviera soils. Riviera series are not listed as hydric
soils by the United States Department of Agriculture. The nearest body of water, a river, is

approximately 900 feet north of the subject property. Based on all of these factors there are no
wetland areas at or near the subject property.
THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES:
RESCOM utilized IPaC to determine if any listed or potentially listed Threatened & Endangered
species exist within or within 30’ of the proposed project area. RESCOM then reviewed various
field guides and reference books to determine what habitats are necessary to support the listed
or potentially listed species of the area. Necessary habitats were compared to the habitat found
at and near the subject property. Based on this comparison, none of the listed or potentially listed
Threatened & Endangered species identified by the USFWS are likely to be found at the subject
property, or within a 30’ buffer zone surrounding all proposed lease areas. A complete list of
these species, their required habitat, and the potential project impact is as follows:

MIGRATORY BIRDS:
Based on the results of a field reconnaissance and review of available maps maintained by the
U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and USFWS, the proposed project area is not located in a waterway,
wildlife refuge, national wilderness area, grassland, forest area, ridge-line, coastline or area
commonly known to have high incidences of fog or low clouds, where migratory birds may be
found. The proposed project area is located in a primary flyway. While the probability that
migratory birds will be found within the project area is minimal, the presence of migratory birds
cannot be ruled out. The IPaC results suggest multiple migratory bird species may be located
within the county of the project area.
The USFWS has established “Service Guidance on the Siting, Construction, Operation and
Decommissioning of Communication Towers” to reduce potential impact to migratory birds.
These guidelines suggest, if collocating on an existing tower or non-tower structure is not
possible, that proposed towers be constructed 199’ or less in overall height, without the use of
guy wires, and in a facility with a minimum possible footprint. Additionally, the USFWS suggests
towers be unlit or lit with only white or red strobe lights. All necessary guy wires should have
daytime visual markers on the wires. Lastly, towers should be designed to encourage future
collocations.

Kapok Tower
While the proposed tower will have an overall height of 250’, according to the current available
studies, such as the Michigan State Police Tower Study, towers above 500’ appear to have more
of an effect on migratory birds than towers that are shorter than 500’. Based on the construction
drawings provided by CitySwitch, we have concluded that steps have been taken to adhere to the
USFWS tower siting guidelines including constructing with a minimum facility footprint, and to
accommodate future collocations.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the information presented in this report, habitats necessary to support listed and
potentially listed Threatened & Endangered species and Critical Habitats do not exist at the
subject property or in the vicinity. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to impact
Threatened & Endangered species as contained in 50 CFR 17.11, 17.22, 222.23(a), 227.4, critical
habitats as contained in 50 CFR 17.95, 17.96, and part 226, or migratory birds protected under
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.

A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 25 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Transforming public safety communications
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) has entered into a public-private partnership with AT&T to
build the first nationwide wireless broadband network dedicated to first responders for use in disasters,
emergencies and daily public safety work.
FirstNet provides initial funding, 20 MHz of spectrum and deep public safety expertise to the partnership.
AT&T brings a proven track record and strong commitment to public safety, as well as the commercial
expertise and nationwide resources to deploy, maintain and operate the network.
This 25-year partnership offers the best overall value to America and its public safety responders – both
from an investment perspective and in terms of the lifesaving technology it will put in the hands of law
enforcement, fire and emergency medical personnel in communities across the nation.

TOP10 ASKED QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY
1. What is the First Responder Network Authority?
The First Responder Network Authority is the independent authority established by Congress to deliver a nationwide broadband network
dedicated to public safety. The Network is strengthening public safety users’ communications capabilities, enabling them to respond more quickly
and effectively to accidents, disasters, and emergencies.
The First Responder Network Authority is led by a Board of leaders and executives from the public safety community; federal, state, and local
governments; and the technology, finance, and wireless sectors. It has a staff of about 200 employees with expertise in public safety,
telecommunications, customer service, technology, procurement, and other areas needed to develop the Network. It is headquartered in Reston, VA,
and has a technology center and lab in Boulder, CO.
2. What led to the creation of the First Responder Network Authority?
The 9/11 terrorist attacks brought to the forefront the many communications challenges that first responders face during emergencies and
disasters. These issues were captured in the 9/11 Commission Report, which identified gaps in emergency communications and recommended a
nationwide network for law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical personnel communications.
The public safety community united to fulfill the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation. Public safety organizations and associations advocated
before Congress for a dedicated, reliable wireless network for first responders. Their advocacy efforts led to the passage of legislation in 2012 to
create the agency to deploy the Network in all U.S. states and territories, including rural communities and tribal nations.
3. How has public safety been involved in the vision for the FirstNet network?
Public safety officials have worked closely with the First Responder Network Authority since its inception in 2012 to ensure the Network meets
first responders’ needs – today and in the future. The agency’s outreach and consultation efforts have connected the organization to more than
1.8 million first responders and state public safety and technology executives across the country.
Specifically, the First Responder Network Authority has consulted extensively with state single points of contact (SPOCs) in each of the 50 U.S.
states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia, as well as local/municipal, tribal and federal public safety leaders. It also coordinates with
public safety through the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC), which provides guidance and subject matter expertise from a first responder
perspective. Public safety leaders at the national, state and local levels continue to advocate for and support deployment of the Network.
4. How was AT&T selected to build, operate, and maintain the FirstNet network?
The First Responder Network Authority and the Department of Interior made the 25-year award based on the determination of the overall best
value solution for FirstNet and public safety. The buildup to the award included a fair, competitive procurement process that began in January
2016 with release of the Network RFP.
The procurement process followed the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and encouraged offerors to provide innovative solutions that could
meet or exceed the needs of public safety.
The procurement was open to all entities, whether traditional wireless companies or new entrants, provided their proposal could meet the
RFP’s statement of objectives. AT&T was selected on a best-value award that considered financial sustainability and was based on more than
just a technically acceptable solution at the lowest cost. The evaluation of proposals assessed the offerors’ ability to submit a cost-effective and
innovative model, and to meet or exceed the 16 objectives and evaluation factors outlined in the FirstNet RFP.
5. Why is the Network being built and operated through a public-private partnership?
The First Responder Network Authority and AT&T are modernizing and improving public safety communications by leveraging private sector
resources, infrastructure, and cost-saving synergies to deploy and operate the Network. This public-private model also helps keep costs down for
American taxpayers. To do this, Congress used the sale of communications airwaves (or spectrum) to fund FirstNet’s initial operations and help
start network deployment; the $7 billion FirstNet received in initial funding came from FCC spectrum auction revenue, not taxpayer funds.
If the federal government were to build, maintain and operate this Network, the estimated cost would be tens of billions of dollars over 25 years.
The Government Accountability Office has estimated it could cost up to $47 billion over 10 years to construct and operate the Network.
With this partnership approach, the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T do not need any additional federal funding to build and operate
the Network – it is a fully funded, self-sustaining Network. In return, America’s first responders get services far above and beyond what they have
today over a first-class broadband network dedicated to their communications needs.

6. What are the key terms this public-private partnership?
Congress intended for the Network to be built and operated as a public-private partnership that brings together the best of the private sector,
including commercial best practices, infrastructure, and resources – with the First Responder Network Authority’s public safety expertise. This
approach will lead to a fully-funded, self-sustaining Network that will serve public safety for years to come. This business model is built upon the
efficient use of resources, infrastructure, cost-saving synergies, and incentives, including:
• 20 MHz of federally owned spectrum and $6.5 billion in initial funding to the partnership; in return AT&T will deploy and operate a nation- wide
high-speed broadband network for public safety over 25 years.
• AT&T will invest about $40 billion over the life of the contract to build, operate, deploy, and maintain the Network, and together with the First
Responder Network Authority will help ensure the Network evolves with the needs of public safety.
• AT&T can use FirstNet’s spectrum when it is not being used by public safety for other, commercial purposes. The company will prioritize first
responders over any other commercial users.
• First Responder Network Authority will oversee the contract to ensure it delivers innovation, technology and customer care to public safety through
various mechanisms, including subscriber adoption targets, milestone buildouts, disincentive fees and other mechanisms outlined in the contract.
7. What will the FirstNet Network provide first responders that they don’t have today?
Today, in emergencies and at large events, heavy public use can lead to wireless communications networks becoming overloaded and inaccessible.
In those instances, public safety users are treated the same as any other commercial or enterprise user, and communications can be limited due to
congestion and capacity issues.
With the FirstNet Network, public safety will get a dedicated “fast lane” that provides highly secure communications every day and for every
emergency. It will deliver specialized features to public safety that are not available on wireless networks today – such as priority access;
preemption; more network capacity; and a resilient, hardened connection. The Network will deliver more than just a public-safety-dedicated
wireless connection – it is also creating devices and apps ecosystems that will connect first responders to innovative, life-saving technologies.
8. How will the Network benefit first responders and help them do their jobs better?
FirstNet will improve communications, response times and outcomes for first responders from coast-to-coast, in rural and urban areas, inland and
on boarders – leading to safer, and more secure communities. The Network will provide first responders with innovation and robust capacity so
they can take advantage of advanced technologies, tools and services during emergencies, such as:
• Applications that allow first responders to reliably share videos, text messages, photos and other information during incidents in near real-time;
• Advanced capabilities, like camera-equipped connected drones and robots, to deliver images of wildfires, floods or other events;
• Improved location services to help with mapping capabilities during rescue and recovery operations; and
• Wearables that could relay biometric data of a patient to the hospital or alert when a fire fighter is in distress.
Network technology will also be tested and validated through the FirstNet Innovation and Test Lab, located in Boulder, CO, so first responders will
have the proven tools they need in disasters and emergencies.
9. What’s happening with FirstNet now?
All 50 states, five U.S. territories and Washington, D.C., have “opted in,” to FirstNet, meaning each has accepted its individual State Plan detailing
how the network will be deployed in their state/territory.
The First Responder Network Authority’s public-private partnership with AT&T provides first responders with immediate access to mission-critical
capabilities over the FirstNet network. This includes priority and preemption features that give first responders their own “fast lane” on the public
safety network to communicate and share information during emergencies, large events, or other situations when commercial networks could
become congested. FirstNet is the only broadband network to provide ruthless preemption for public safety.
Key FirstNet activities include:
Expanding the Network and Building Out Band 14: The First Responder Network Authority has issued work orders to deploy the RANs. This gave
AT&T the green light to expand FirstNet’s footprint and deploy Band 14 capacity and coverage throughout the nation, providing first responders
with the bandwidth and mission critical connections they need to communicate, share information, and use innovative technologies every day
and in every emergency.
Driving public safety innovation: FirstNet is also unlocking a new technology marketplace for public safety, enabling first responders to benefit
from advancements in innovation. The FirstNet App Catalog store will be filling up with FirstNet-approved mobile apps that are optimized for
public safety use over the Network.
Securing emergency communications: FirstNet’s first-of-its-kind core infrastructure will give first responders the dedicated, highly secure,
non-commercial network they deserve. The FirstNet Core, delivered in March 2018, provides full encryption of public safety data over FirstNet and
end-to-end cyber security. FirstNet subscribers also have access to a dedicated Security Operations Center, offering 24/7/365 support.
Engaging with public safety: The First Responder Network Authority will continue to engage with public safety in the states, territories, federal
agencies, and tribal nations to ensure the network meets their needs and incorporate their feedback in the design of future FirstNet products and
services.

2.03.08 - Rural Fringe Zoning Districts
A. Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District (RFMU District).
1. Purpose and scope. The purpose and intent of the RFMU District is to provide a transition
between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and between the Urban and
Agricultural/Rural and Conservation designated lands farther to the east. The RFMU District
employs a balanced approach, including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural
resources and private property rights, providing for large areas of open space, and allowing, in
designated areas, appropriate types, density and intensity of development. The RFMU District
allows for a mixture of urban and rural levels of service, including limited extension of central
water and sewer, schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses, and essential services
deemed necessary to serve the residents of the RFMU District. The innovative planning and
development techniques which are required and/or encouraged within the RFMU District were
developed to preserve existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a
rural, pastoral, or park-like appearance from the major public rights-of-way, and to protect
private property rights.
a. Establishment of RFMU Zoning Overlay District. In order to implement the Rural Fringe
Mixed Use District (RFMUD) designation in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the
GMP, the RFMU District shall be designated as "RFMUO" on the Official Zoning Atlas and
is hereby established. The RFMU District replaces the underlying zoning district where that
underlying zoning district is A, Rural Agricultural, except where development standards are
omitted in the RFMU District. The County-wide Future Land Use Map is located in the
Future Land Use Element of the GMP or can be obtained from the Growth Management
Department, located at 2800 N. Horseshoe Drive, Naples, FL 34104. The lands included in
the RFMU District and to which LDC section 2.03.08 apply are depicted by the following
map:
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 504 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
b. Exemptions. The requirements, limitations and allowances of this section shall not apply to,
affect or limit the continuation of existing uses. Existing uses shall include: those uses for
which all required permits were issued prior to June 19, 2002; or, projects for which a
Conditional use has been approved by the County prior to June 19, 2002; or, projects for
which a Rezone petition has been approved by the County prior to June 19, 2002 -
inclusive of all lands not zoned A, Rural Agricultural; or, land use petitions for which a
completed application has been submitted prior to June 19, 2002. The continuation of
existing uses shall include on-site expansions of those uses if such expansions are
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 505 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
consistent with or clearly ancillary to the existing uses. Hereafter, such previously approved
developments shall be deemed to be consistent with the Plan's Goals, Objectives and
Policies for the RFMUD , and they may be built out in accordance with their previously
approved plans. Changes to these previous approvals shall also be deemed consistent
with the Plan's Goals, Policies and Objectives for the RFMUD as long as they do not result
in an increase in development density or intensity.
c. Ordinance superceded. Ordinance Number 98-17 is hereby expressly superceded. Any
development in the area formerly subject to that ordinance shall henceforth conform to the
provisions of this Section and all other provisions of this Code that are applicable to
development within the RFMU district .
2. RFMU receiving lands. RFMU receiving lands are those lands within the RFMU district that
have been identified as being most appropriate for development and to which residential
development units may be transferred from RFMU sending lands . Based on the evaluation of
available data, RFMU receiving lands have a lesser degree of environmental or listed species
habitat value than RFMU sending lands and generally have been disturbed through
development or previous or existing agricultural operations. Various incentives are employed to
direct development into RFMU receiving lands and away from RFMU sending lands ,
thereby maximizing native vegetation and habitat preservation and restoration. Such
incentives include, but are not limited to: the TDR process; clustered development ; density
bonus incentives; and, provisions for central sewer and water. Within RFMU receiving lands ,
the following standards shall apply, except as noted in subsection 2.03.08 A.1. above, or as
more specifically provided in an applicable PUD.
a. Outside rural villages .
(1) NBMO Exemption. Except as specifically provided herein NBMO Receiving Lands
are only subject to the provisions of section 2.03.08 C.
(2) Maximum Density .
(a) Base density . The base residential density allowable within RFMU receiving
lands , exclusive of the applicable density blending provisions set forth in
section 2.05.02, is 1 unit per 5 gross acres (0.2 dwelling units per acre) or, for
those legal nonconforming lots or parcels in existence as of June 22, 1999, 1
unit per lot or parcel .
(b) Additional density
i. Additional Density Allowed Through the TDR Process. Outside of rural
villages , the maximum density achievable in RFMU Receiving Lands
through TDR credits and TDR Bonus Credits is 1 dwelling unit per acre.
a) Clustering Required. Where the transfer of development rights is
employed to increase residential density within RFMU receiving
lands , such residential development shall be clustered in
accordance with the following provisions:
i) Central water and sewer shall be extended to the project. Where
County sewer or water services may not be available concurrent
with development in RFMU receiving lands , interim private
water and sewer facilities may be approved.
ii) The maximum lot size allowable for a single-family detached
dwelling unit is 1 acre.
iii) The clustered development shall be located on the site so as to
provide to the greatest degree practicable: protection for listed
species habitat; preservation of the highest quality native
vegetation ; connectivity to adjacent natural reservations or
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 506 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
preservation areas on adjacent developments; and, creation,
maintenance or enhancement of wildlife corridors.
b) Minimum Project Size. The minimum project size required in order to
receive transferred dwelling units is 40 contiguous acres.
c) Emergency Preparedness. In order to reduce the likelihood of threat to
life and property from a tropical storm or hurricane event any
development approved under the provisions of this section shall
demonstrate that adequate emergency preparedness and disaster
prevention measures have been taken by, at a minimum:

case-by-case basis, areas which are susceptible to inundation
during such storm events are identified on the Sea, Lake, and
Overland Surge from Hurricane (SLOSH) Map for Collier County.
ii) Evaluating impacts on evacuation routes, if any, and working with
the Collier County Emergency Management staff to develop an
Emergency Preparedness Plan to include provisions for storm
shelter space, a plan for emergency evacuation, and other
provisions that may be deemed appropriate and necessary to
mitigate against a potential disaster.
iii) Working with the Florida Division of Forestry, Collier County
Emergency Management staff, and the managers of any adjacent
or nearby public lands, to develop a Wildfire Prevention and
Mitigation Plan that will reduce the likelihood of threat to life and
property from wildfires. This plan shall address, at a minimum:
project structural design; the use of materials and location of
structures so as to reduce wildfire threat; firebreaks and buffers ;
water features; and, the rationale for prescribed burning on
adjacent or nearby lands.
ii. Additional density Allowed Through Other Density Bonuses. Once a
density of one (1) unit per acre is achieved through the use of TDR credits
and TDR Bonus credits , additional density may be achieved as follows:
a) A density bonus of 0.1 unit per acre shall be allowed for the
preservation of additional native vegetation as set forth in Section
3.05.07 E. 1. of the Code.

B. Natural resource protection area overlay district (NRPA).
1. Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of the Natural Resource Protection Area Overlay
District (NRPA) is to: protect endangered or potentially endangered species by directing
incompatible land uses away from their habitats; to identify large, connected, intact, and
relatively unfragmented habitats, which may be important for these listed species; and to
support State and Federal agencies' efforts to protect endangered or potentially endangered
species and their habitats. NRPAs may include major wetland systems and regional flow-ways.
These lands generally should be the focus of any federal, state, County, or private acquisition
efforts. Accordingly, allowable land uses, vegetation preservation standards, development
standards, and listed species protection criteria within NRPAs set forth herein are more
restrictive than would otherwise be permitted in the underlying zoning district and shall to be
applicable in addition to any standards that apply tin the underlying zoning district.
a. NRPA overlay areas. NRPAs are located in the following areas:
(1) Clam Bay Conservation Area (within Pelican Bay Planned Unit development );
(2) CREW (Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed);
(3) North Belle Meade;
(4) South Belle Meade;
(5) South Golden Gate Estates.
The NRPA lands within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District to which the Section
2.03.08 C. regulations apply (i.e. - numbers 3 and 4 above) are depicted by the

b. NRPAS designated as RFMU sending lands within the RFMU district . NRPAs located in
the RFMU district are identified as RFMU sending lands and are further subject to the
provisions, conditions and standards set forth in section 2.03.08 (A)(4). Private property
owners within these NRPAs may transfer residential development rights from these
important environmentally sensitive lands to other identified "receiving" lands pursuant to
eth specific provisions set forth in section 2.01.03 of this Code.
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 531 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
c. Development standards. Development within a NRPA shall adhere to the following
standards:
(1) Vegetation Retention and Site Preservation - Native vegetation retention shall be as
required in Chapter 4.
(2) Permitted and conditional uses for all lands within a NRPA that are zoned CON and
for those lands within any NRPA that are publicly owned shall be as set forth in
sections 2.03.05 (B)(1)(a), (b) and (c), respectively.
(3) For privately owned lands within a NRPA within the RFMU district , permitted and
conditional uses shall be those as set forth in the RFMU district Sending Lands
(section 2.03.08 A.4.).
(4) For privately owned lands within a NRPA and designated Estates, permitted and
conditional uses shall be those as set forth in the Estates Designation within the
Golden Gate Area Master Plan. As these privately owned Estates Designated lands
are acquired for conservation purposes, the Comprehensive Plan and will be
amended to change the Designation to Conservation and the property will be rezoned
to the CON district .
(5) There are approximately 15 sections of privately owned land within a NRPA that are
not designated Sending and are not located within the RFMU district . Eight (8) of
these sections, known as the "hole-in-the-doughnut," are located within the South
Golden Gate Estates NRPA and surrounded by platted Estates lots , almost all of
which have been acquired by the State under the Florida Forever program as part of
the Picayune Strand State Forest. The remaining seven (7) sections are within an
approved mitigation bank located north and west of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. As
these privately owned Agricultural/Rural Designated lands are acquired for
conservation purposes, the Plan will be amended to change the Designation to CON
district . Until such time as the designation on these lands is change to CON district
, permitted and conditional uses for these privately owned lands shall be those set
forth in underlying zoning district.
C. North Belle Meade Overlay District (NBMO).
1. Purpose and intent. The North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) is unique to the RFMU district
because it is surrounded by areas that are vested for development on three sides. Because
this area is largely undeveloped and includes substantial vegetated areas, the NBMO can and
does provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including endangered species. The NBMO is intended
to achieve a balance of both preservation and opportunities for future development that takes
into account resource protection and the relationship between this area and the Estates
developing around the NBMO.
2. General location. The NBMO District is surrounded by Golden Gate Estates to the north, east,
and west and I-75 to the south. This NBMO comprises some 24 sections of land (approximately
15,550 acres) located entirely within the RFMU District (LDC section 2.03.08 A.). The
boundaries of the NBMO District are outlined in Illustration 2.03.08 C.2.a below and on the
North Belle Meade Overlay Map in the Future Land Use Element of the GMP.

2.03.07 - Overlay Zoning Districts
D. Special Treatment Overlay (ST).
1. Within the County there are certain areas, which because of their unique assemblages of flora
and/or fauna, their aesthetic appeal, historical or archaeological significance, rarity in the
County, or their contribution to their own and adjacent ecosystems, make them worthy of
special regulations. Such regulations are directed toward the conservation, protection, and
preservation of ecological and recreational values for the greatest benefit to the people of the
County. Such areas include, but are not necessarily limited to, mangrove and freshwater
swamps, barrier islands, hardwood hammocks, xeric scrubs, coastal beaches , estuaries,
cypress domes, natural drainage ways, aquifer recharge areas, and lands and structures of
historical and archaeological significance. The purpose of the "ST" district is to assure the
preservation and maintenance of these environmental and cultural resources and to encourage
the preservation of the intricate ecological relationships within the systems, and at the same
time, permit those types of development which will hold changes to levels determined
acceptable by the BCC after public hearing.
2. An overlay zoning district classification to be known as the ST special treatment overlay district,
and to be designated on the Official Zoning Atlas by the symbol "ST" together with the symbol
of the basic zoning district which it overlays, is hereby established. This overlay district
classification will be used for those lands of environmental sensitivity and historical and
archaeological significance where the essential ecological or cultural value of the land is not
adequately protected under the basic zoning district regulations established by this LDC. The
placement or removal of this the ST district shall be governed by the procedure for amending
the LDC and this Official Zoning Atlas as prescribed in Chapter 10. All land within the ST
overlay district shall be designated as environmentally sensitive.
3. For purposes of identifying land from which the residential development rights have been
transferred, such lands shall be designated on the Official Zoning Atlas by affixing the letter "P"
for preservation to the symbol "ST," thusly "P-ST." Such designation shall be placed on the land
after the BCC has accepted the deed and/or guarantee to said property.
4. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR).
a. Purpose, Intent and Applicability.
i. Purpose. The primary purpose of the TDR process is to establish an equitable method
of protecting and conserving lands determined to have significant environmental
value, including large connected wetland systems and significant areas of habitat for
listed species; and
To provide a viable mechanism for property owners of such environmentally valuable
lands to recoup lost value and development potential which may be associated with
the application of environmental preservations standards to such lands.
ii. Intent . These TDR provisions are intended to accomplish the above stated purpose
through an economically viable process of transferring development rights from less
suitable non-RFMU sending areas and RFMU sending lands to more suitable non-
RFMU receiving areas and RFMU receiving lands .
iii. Applicability . These TDR provisions shall be applicable to those areas specifically
identified in (b), (c) and (d) below. These TDR provisions shall not be applicable to the
any transfer of development rights within the RLSA District.
b. Transfer of development rights from urban areas to urban areas. An owner of land located
within areas designated as urban on the Future Land Use Map, including agriculturally
zoned properties, which may or may not be identified with the ST overlay, may elect to
transfer some or all of the residential development rights from one parcel of land to
another parcel , as an alternative to the development of the sending lands. The lands to
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 537 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
which the development rights are to be transferred shall be referred to as receiving lands
and those lands from which development rights are transferred shall be referred to as
sending lands, as provided herein and shall be located within the urban designated areas
of the county.
i. The development rights shall be considered as interests in real property and be
transferred in portions or as a total as provided in this section. Once used, the
residential development rights shall not be used again and the residential
development rights of the subject lands providing them shall be considered severed
forever.
ii. The transfer of development rights to be used shall be subject to all of the
requirements of the basic zoning district to which they are transferred unless
specifically approved otherwise as provided by law.
iii. The minimum area of land eligible for the transfer of development rights shall be
equal to the minimum lot size for the sending zone. For the purposes of this section,
legal non-conforming lots of record may be eligible to transfer density , with the
minimum area of the receiving land equal to the area of the legal non-conforming lot
of record , excluding submerged land.
iv. Upon the approval of the transfer of residential development rights by a super
majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners, the property owner of the
sending land shall dedicate in fee simple the land to the county or a state or federal
agency; however, the lands may be dedicated in fee simple to a private, not-for-profit
conservation or environmental organization in accordance with F.S. § 704.06, as
amended, with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners.
v. The maximum number of residential units which may be requested for transfer shall
be compiled on the basis of the permitted density pursuant to the underlying zoning
category of the sending land.
vi. Maximum number of residential units which eligible lands may receive.
a) Lands in all residential zoning districts and residential components of planned
unit development zoning districts are eligible to receive residential development
units provided that the maximum number of residential units which may be
transferred to the receiving land does not exceed ten percent of the maximum
number of residential units permitted under the receiving property's basic zoning
district. For the purpose of determining the number of residential units which a
parcel of land is capable of receiving, the following formulas shall apply:
i) RSF-1 through RSF-5 districts, up to and including five units per acre:
Units per base density × 10% = .1 to .5 units per acre
ii) RMF-6 district, up to and including six units per acre:
6 units × 10% = 0.6 units per acre
iii) RMF-12 district, seven to and including 12 units per acre:
12 units × 10% = 1.20 units per acre
iv) RMF-16 district:
16 units × 5% = 0.80 units per acre
v) RT district:
16 units × 5% = 0.80 units per acre
vi) PUD district:
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 538 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
Residential tract units × 5% = permitted units per acre
b) For the purpose of calculating the final fractional residential unit of the total
number of residential units eligible for transfer to an eligible parcel of land, the
following shall apply: Any fractional residential unit shall be converted upward if
one-half or more of a whole unit, or downward if less than one-half of a whole
unit, to the nearest whole unit value.
vii. Procedure for obtaining transfer of residential development rights. Any owner of
eligible land may apply for a transfer of development rights either separately or
concurrently with rezoning, zoning ordinance amendments, preliminary subdivision
plat or development plan. Prior to the approval of any transfer of development rights
or the issuance of any building permits in connection with the use of any transfer of
development rights, the petitioner shall submit the following information and data, as
applicable to the petition, to the development services director for his review and
subsequent action by the Board of County Commissioners
a) Name and address of property owner of sending land.
b) Name and address of property owner of receiving land.
c) Legal description of sending land from which transfer of residential development
rights is petitioned.
d) Survey of sending land from which transfer of residential development rights is
requested.
e) Legal description of receiving land which receives the transfer of residential
development rights.
f) Survey of the land which receives the transfer of residential development rights.
g) Three copies of an executed deed of transfer of ownership of the sending
property to the county or a state or federal agency; however, the lands may be
dedicated in fee simple to a private, not-for-profit conservation or environmental
organization in accordance with F.S. § 704.06, as amended, with the approval of
the Board of County Commissioners in a form approved by the county attorney.
h) The owner of the sending land shall provide a guarantee, agreeable to and
approved by ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners, that the sending
land will be utilized only for the purposes of increasing public recreational and/or
educational opportunities, creation of linkages between public or private open
space , protection of critical habitat/ecosystems, or other public purpose as
specified in the ordinance of adoption. Such a guarantee shall be recorded with
the clerk of the circuit court of Collier County, Florida as a recorded restriction of
the use of such land and shall be binding upon all present and subsequent
owners, heirs, or assigns of such property. Such restrictions may not be
amended, deleted, or otherwise altered, except by a majority vote of the BCC.
viii. Time limitations on Board of County Commissioners' approval of transfer of
residential development rights or authorization to proceed with the processing of a
building construction permit. The Board of County Commissioners' approval of a
transfer of residential development rights or the County Manager or his designee
authorization to proceed with the processing of a building or construction permit shall
be valid so long as such approval is permitted by law. The failure to act on the part of
the petitioner to exercise the transfer of residential development rights or obtain and
exercise an authorized building or construction permit within the time period provided
by law shall automatically terminate such approval and the county shall be held
harmless for any damages arising out of the petitioner's failure to act.
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 539 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
ix. Sequential use of residential units approved for transfer by the Board of County
Commissioners. Upon the issuance of any permit for the construction of residential
unit(s) upon the receiving land, the first residential units built thereon shall be
considered to be the residential units approved for transfer by the Board of County
Commissioners, and the succeeding residential units constructed shall be considered
the residential units permitted under the basic zoning district regulations.
c. TDR credits from RFMU sending lands : General Provisions
i. Creation of TDR credits .
a) TDR credits are generated from RFMU sending lands at a rate of 1 TDR credit
per 5 acres of RFMU Sending Land or, for those legal non-conforming lots or
parcels of less than 5 acres that were in existence as of June 22, 1999, at a rate
of 1 TDR credit per legal non-conforming lot or parcel .
b) For lots and parcels 5 acres or larger, the number of TDR credits generated
shall be calculated using the following formula:
# of acres x 0.2 = # of TDR credits generated.
Where the number of TDR credits thus calculated is a fractional number, the
number of TDR credits created shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100th.
ii. Creation of TDR Bonus credits . TDR Bonus credits shall only be generated from
RFMU sending land property from which TDR credits have been severed. The three
types TDR Bonus credits are as follows:
a) Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits . Environmental
Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits are generated at a rate of 1 credit
for each TDR credit severed from that RFMU sending land for which a
Restoration and Management Plan (RMP) has been accepted by the County. In
order to be accepted, a RMP shall satisfy the following:
1) The RMP shall include a listed species management plan.
2) The RMP shall comply with the criteria set forth in 3.05.08.A, and B.
3) The RMP shall provide financial assurance, in the form of a letter of credit or
similar financial security, establishing that the RMP shall remain in place
and be performed, until the earlier of the following occurs:
a. Viable and sustainable ecological and hydrological functionality has
been achieved on the property as measured by the success criteria set
forth in the RMP.
b. The property is conveyed to a County, state, or federal agency as
provided in b) below.
4) The RMP shall provide for the exotic vegetation removal and maintenance
to be performed by an environmental contractor acceptable to the County.
b) Conveyance Bonus credits . Conveyance Bonus credits are generated at a
rate of 1 credit for each TDR credit severed from that RFMU sending land that
is conveyed in fee simple to a federal, state, or local government agency as a
gift. Conveyance Bonus credits shall only be generated from those RFMU
sending land properties on which an RMP has been accepted as provided in a)
above.
c) Early Entry Bonus credits . Early Entry Bonus credits shall be generated at a
rate of 1 additional credit for each TDR credit that is severed from RFMU
sending land for the period from March 5, 2004, until March 27, 2012. Early
Entry Bonus credits shall cease to be generated after the termination of this
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 540 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
early entry bonus period. However, Early Entry Bonus credits may continue to
be used to increase density in RFMU and non- RFMU Receiving Lands after
the termination of the Early Entry Bonus period.
iii. Calculation of TDR Bonus credits .
a) Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits are calculated as
follows:
# TDR credits generated from property × % property subject to an approved
RMP
b) Conveyance Bonus credits are calculated as follows:
# TDR credits generated from property × % property subject to an approved
RMP and conveyed as provided in ii.b) above.
c) Early Entry Bonus credits are calculated as follows:
# TDR credits generated within Early Entry period × 1.
iv. Receipt of TDR credits or TDR Bonus credits from RFMU sending lands . TDR
credits or TDR Bonus credits from RFMU sending lands may be redeemed into
Urban Areas, the Urban Residential Fringe, and RFMU receiving lands , as provided
in subsections 2.03.07 4.d. and e. below.
v. Prohibition on redemption of fractional TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits . While
fractional TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits may be created, as provided in (ii)
above, TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits may only be redeemed in increments of
whole, not fractional, dwelling units. Consequently, fractional TDR credits and
fractional TDR Bonus credits must be aggregated to form whole units, before they
can be utilized to increase density in either non-RFMU Receiving Areas or RFMU
Receiving lands .
vi. Prohibition on severance of development rights.
a) Neither TDR credits nor TDR Early Entry Bonus credits shall be generated
from RFMU sending lands where a conservation easement or other similar
development restriction prohibits the residential development of such property,
with the exception of those TDR Early Entry Bonus credits associated with TDR
credits severed from March 5, 2004, until [the effective date of this provision].
Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credits and Conveyance
Bonus credits may only be generated from those RFMU sending lands where
a conservation easement or other similar development restriction on
development was imposed in conjunction with the severance of TDR credits .
b) Neither TDR credits nor any TDR Bonus credits shall be generated from RFMU
sending lands that were cleared for agricultural operations after June 19, 2002,
for a period of twenty-five (25) years after such clearing occurs.
d. Redemption of TDRs into non- RFMU receiving areas .
i. Redemption into urban areas.
a) Maximum density increase. In order to encourage residential in-fill in urban
areas of existing development outside of the Coastal High Hazard Area, a
maximum of 3 residential dwelling units per gross acre may be requested
through a rezone petition for projects qualifying under this residential infill
provisions of the Future Land Use Element density Rating System, subject to
the applicable provisions of Chapters 2 and 9 of this Code, and the following

v) The parcel in question was not created to take advantage of the in-fill
residential density bonus and was created prior to the adoption of this
provision in the Growth Management Plan on January 10, 1989.
vi) Of the maximum 3 additional units, one (1) dwelling unit per acre shall be
derived from RFMU sending lands and redeemed at Site Plan or prior to
Plat recordation.
b) Developments which meet the residential infill conditions i) through v) above
may increase the base density administratively through a Site Development
Plan or Plat approval by a maximum of one dwelling unit per acre by redeeming
additional density derived from RFMU district Sending Lands.
ii. Redemptions into the Urban Residential Fringe shall be permitted exclusively through
the use of TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits derived from RFMU sending lands
located within one mile of the Urban Boundary to increase density by a maximum of
1.0 dwelling units per acre, allowing for a density increase from the existing
allowable base density of 1.5 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 2.5 dwelling
units per gross acre.
e. Redemption into RFMU receiving lands .
i. Maximum density on RFMU receiving lands when TDR credits are redeemed.
a) The base residential density allowable shall be as provided in sections 2.03.08
A.2.a.(2)(a) and 2.03.08 A.2.b.(3)(a).
b) The density achievable through the redemption of TDR credits and TDR Bonus
credits into RFMU receiving lands shall be as provided for in section 2.03.08

2.03.08 A.2.b.(3)(c)(i) inside of rural villages.
ii. Remainder uses after TDR credits are severed from RFMU sending lands. Where
development rights have been severed from RFMU district Sending Lands, such lands
may be retained in private ownership and may be used as set forth in section 2.03.08
A.4.b.
f. Procedures applicable to the severance and redemption of TDR credits and the
generation of TDR Bonus credits from RFMU sending lands .
i. General. Those developments that utilize such TDR credits or TDR Bonus credits
are subject to all applicable permitting and approval requirements of this Code,
including but not limited to those applicable to site development plans, plat
approvals, PUDs, and DRIs.
a) The severance of TDR credits and the generation of Early Entry Bonus credits
from RFMU sending lands does not require further approval of the County if the
County determines that information demonstrating compliance with all of the
criteria set forth in ii.a) below has been submitted. However, those developments
that utilize such TDR credits and Early Entry Bonus credits are subject to all
applicable permitting and approval requirements of this Code, including but not

a) TDR credits shall not be used to increase density in either non-RFMU
Receiving Areas or RFMU receiving lands until severed from RFMU sending
lands . TDR credits shall be deemed to be severed from RFMU sending lands
at such time as a TDR credit Certificate is obtained from the County. TDR credit
Certificates shall be issued only by the County and upon submission of the
following:
i) a legal description of the property from which the RFMU TDR credits
originated, including the total acreage;
ii) a title opinion establishing that, prior to the severance of the TDR credits
from RFMU sending lands , such sending lands were not subject to a
conservation restriction or any other development restriction that prohibited
residential development ;
iii) an affidavit, signed by the owner, stating that the property was not subject to
a conservation restriction or any other development restriction that
prohibited residential development during the period between the effective
date of the title opinion and conservation easement recordation;
iv) an executed Limitation of Development Rights Agreement, prepared in
accord with the form provided by the County, that limits the allowable uses

unless further extended by resolution by the Board of County
Commissioners, shall include one Early Entry Bonus credit or fractional
Early Entry Bonus credit for each TDR credit or fractional TDR credit
reflected on the TDR credit certificate. Where TDR credits were severed
from March 5, 2004, until the effective date of this provision, the County
shall, upon receipt of a copy of the TDR credit certificate reflecting those
previously severed TDR credits , issue a TDR credit certificate entitling
Early Entry Bonus credits equal in number to the previously severed TDR
credits .
2) Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus credit . A TDR
certificate reflecting Environmental Restoration and Maintenance Bonus
credits shall not be issued until the County has accepted a RMP for the
sending lands from which the Environmental Restoration and Maintenance
Bonus credit is being generated. Any sending lands from which TDR
credits have been severed may also be used for mitigation programs and
associated mitigation activities and uses in conjunction with any county,
state or federal permitting. Where the Environmental Restoration and
Maintenance Credit is applied for sending lands that are also being used
(title or easement) for mitigation for permits or approvals from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, or the South Florida Water Management District, the County

i) documentation that the developer has acquired all TDR credits and TDR
Bonus credits needed for that phase of the development that is the
subject of the site development plan or subdivision plat.
d) The developer shall provide documentation of the acquisition of full ownership
and control of all TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits needed for the
development prior to the approval of any site development plan, subdivision
plat, or other final local development order, other than a PUD or DRI.
e) Each TDR credit shall have an individual and distinct tracking number, which
shall be identified on the TDR certificate that reflects the TDR credit . The
County TDR Activity Log shall maintain an ongoing database that categorizes all
TDR credits relative to severance, transfer (sale) and redemption activity.
f) Each TDR Bonus credit shall have an individual and distinct tracking number,
which shall be identified on the TDR certificate and which shall identify the
specific TDR credit associated with the TDR Bonus credit . The County TDR
Registry shall maintain a record of all TDR Bonus credits , to include a
designation of those that have been expended.
g) The County bears no responsibility to provide notice to any person or entity
holding a lien or other security interest in Sending Lands that TDR credits have
3.C.f

the PUD or DRI's approved gross density that is derived through TDR credits and TDR
Bonus credits . All PUDs and DRIs utilizing TDR credits and TDR Bonus credits shall
require that the rate of TDR credit and TDR Bonus credits consumption be reported
through the monitoring provisions of section 10.02.12 and subsection 10.02.07.C.1.b of this
Code.
5. In accordance with § 380.05, F.S. and chapter 73-131 Laws of Florida, the administrative
commission instituted regulations for the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern "ACSC".
The purpose of these regulations is to conserve and protect the natural, environmental, and
economic resources of the Big Cypress area. Furthermore, these regulations are to provide a
land and water management system that will preserve water quality, provide for the optimum
utilization of the limited water resources of the area, facilitate orderly and well-planned
development , and protect the health, safety and welfare of residents of the state. The Florida
Administrative Code establishes criteria for site alteration, drainage, transportation facilities and
structure installation. These regulations are implemented through the land development
regulations as set forth in section 4.02.14. An overlay zoning classification to be known as Area
of Critical State Concern/Special Treatment Overlay shall be designated on the Official Zoning

3.06.00 - GROUNDWATER PROTECTION
3.06.01 - Purpose and Intent
A. The purpose of this section is to establish standards, regulations, and procedures for the review and
approval of existing and proposed development within mapped wellfield protection zones in the
unincorporated area and the incorporated areas of the County. The standards and regulations of this
section shall be implemented to protect existing and future wellfields, protect natural aquifer system
recharge areas, protect Countywide groundwater resources, and to protect the public health and
resources through regulation and establishment of standards for development involving the use,
storage, generation, handling, and disposal of quantities of hazardous products and hazardous
waste in excess of identified quantities, disposal of sewage and effluent, stormwater management,
earthmining, petroleum exploration, solid waste , and other related aspects of land use and
development .
B. It is the intent of the BCC that this section implement and be consistent with the Collier County GMP.
Implementation will provide for the long-term protection of the County's groundwater resource, and
through the management of those land uses and developments within wellfield management
special treatment overlay zones and Countywide groundwater protection zones, ensure short-term
protection. This section is intended to be consistent with principles of property rights, as balanced
with the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.
C. In order to protect the County's potable groundwater resources, this section establishes Countywide
groundwater protection standards, implemented through a Countywide groundwater protection zone,
and a series of wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones around identified public
water supply wellfields. These special treatment overlay zones and groundwater protection zone
form the basis of land use management prohibitions and regulations to reduce or eliminate the
potential for groundwater contamination from specified land uses and activities.
3.06.02 - Protected Public Water Supply Wellfields
A. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for
potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as
protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development ) shall be
regulated under this section.
B. There are hereby created wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones around each
existing public water supply wellfield permitted by the SFWMD, to withdraw a minimum of 100,000
average gallons per day or more. These wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones
are generally depicted on wellfield protection zone maps and are made a part hereof as Illustration
3.06.02 A. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones shall be supplemental to
existing and future zoning and land use regulations, and shall not be deemed to permit or authorize
any use or activity not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district or allowable in the
underlying future land use designation.
3.06.03 - Description and Basis of Wellfield Risk Management Special Treatment Overlay Zones
Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones are derived from the three-dimensional
computer-modeled analysis of groundwater flow and solute transport in the County's freshwater aquifer
system, as prepared and presented in a study commissioned by the County and known as the "Three-
Dimensional Simulation of Wellfield Protection Areas in Collier County, Florida" (Voorhees and Mades,
1989) (the three-dimensional wellfield study).
A. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone W-1 (zone W-1). The land area
between an identified wellfield and the five (5) percent groundwater capture zone,
approximating the one (1) year wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone
boundary, as shown on the wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone map,
Illustration 3.06.02 A, which area shall be protected from the discharge or accidental release of
3.C.f
Packet Pg. 546 Attachment: Attachment E- Application-Backup Materials (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
contaminants from a sanitary hazard or other contaminant source, including the discharge or
accidental release of hazardous products and hazardous wastes .
B. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone W-2 (zone W-2). The land area
between zone W-1 and the ten (10) percent groundwater capture zone, approximating the two
(2) year wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone boundary, as shown on the
wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone map, Illustration 3.06.02 A, which
area shall be protected from the discharge or accidental release of contaminants, including from
a sanitary hazard or other contaminant source and the discharge or accidental release of
hazardous products and hazardous wastes .
C. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone W-3 (zone W-3). The land area
between zone W-2 and the twenty-five (25) percent groundwater capture zone, approximating
the five (5) year wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone boundary, as shown
on the wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone map, Illustration 3.06.02 A,
which area may be protected from the discharge or accidental release of specific contaminants,
including the discharge or accidental release of hazardous products and hazardous wastes .
D. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone W-4 (zone W-4). The land area
between zone W-3 and the 100 percent groundwater capture zone for the twenty (20) year
planning limit, which is the twenty (20) year wellfield risk management special treatment overlay
zone boundary, as shown on the wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone
map, Illustration 3.06.02 A, which area may be protected from the discharge or accidental
release of specific contaminants, including the discharge or accidental release of hazardous
products and hazardous wastes .
3.06.04 - Groundwater Protection
A. There are hereby created groundwater protection special treatment overlay zones, as generally
depicted on the wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone maps, Illustration 3.06.02
A. These groundwater protection special treatment overlay zones reflect wellfield risk management
zones W-1, W-2, W-3, and W-4; areas of high natural aquifer recharge in the County (ST-NAR), and
the natural recharge areas of the County that require minimum groundwater protection and within
which future public water supply wells may be located (GWP).
B. Wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones, high natural aquifer recharge special
treatment zones (ST-NAR), and groundwater protection special treatment overlay zones shall be
supplemental to existing and future zoning and land use regulations, and shall not be deemed to
permit or authorize any use or activity not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district or
allowable in the underlying future land use designation.
C. The high natural aquifer recharge special overlay zones (ST-NAR) and the groundwater protection
zones (GWP) are based upon:
1. Those portions of the County identified as areas of high natural aquifer recharge to the surficial
and intermediate aquifer systems (ST-NAR).
2. The susceptibility of the surficial and intermediate aquifer systems in the County to
contamination resulting from surficial activities and the need for protection of the groundwater
resource as a future public water supply (GWP).
D. High natural aquifer recharge areas (ST-NAR). These areas have not yet been defined. The
prohibitions and regulations for this special treatment overlay zone shall be based upon the
determination and designation of those portions of the County that naturally function as high natural
recharge areas to the surficial and intermediate aquifer systems. Upon identification of ST-NAR
areas, pursuant to these regulations, shall be amended to include the ST-NAR special treatment
overlay zone where appropriate.
E. Groundwater protection area (GWP). All of the County provides natural aquifer recharge to the
water table aquifer , and the potential for natural aquifer recharge to the unconfined or semi-

confined portions of the Lower Tamiami and Sandstone aquifers . Natural aquifer recharge from the
water table aquifer constitutes approximately eighty (80) percent of the recharge to the Lower
Tamiami aquifer on a regional basis. That area of the County, excluding W-1, W-2, W-3, W-4, and
ST-NAR, shall be provided with a minimum level of groundwater protection and shall be designated
as GWP.
3.06.05 - Annual Review of Zones
The wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zone maps, Illustration 3.06.02 A, shall be
reviewed by the BCC on an annual basis, or more often as may be determined by the County Manager or
designee in his discretion upon the occurrence of:
A. Changes in technical knowledge concerning the understanding of groundwater hydraulics, as
applied to the hydrogeology of applicable aquifer systems in the County.
B. Changes in the permitted withdrawals from the identified wellfield(s).
C. Reconfiguration of identified wellfields.
D. The designation of new wellfield(s) as protected under this section.
E. Availability of any other technical or scientific information relative to the aquifer systems in the
County.
3.06.06 - Regulated Wellfields
The following wellfield risk management special treatment overlay zones, as defined in section
3.06.03, and criteria specified herein shall be applied to the following wellfields:
A. City of Naples East Golden Gate Well Field.
B. City of Naples Coastal Ridge Well Field.

Subject: Oppositional Letter to variance application PL20l 90002701
Dear Mr. Finn and others to whom it may concem:
My family and I submit this letter in opposition to the above numbered application for permitting, including
the seeking of a variance.
The above application would seek to allow construction of a very tall Communication Tower on a very small
parcel ofland by substituting for certain setback requirememts. The parcel is located immediately nexi to and
is contiguous to land on which my family and I reside in a "Dome" we call "Dome of the Glades" and which I
would describe, perhaps too poetically, as follows:
The Dome ofthe Glades is a gorgeous geodesic dome residence designed by architect Buckminster
Fuller. It is located less than fourteen miles, as the crow flies, from the beautiful white sand beaches of
the Gulf of Mexico.The land was purchased 50 years ago by the current owners and is in a protected
area which has remained pristine. Until the 21" century the Dome was so remotely located, few people
even kner,l of its existence.
About two decades ago, Collier county adopted and still retains what has been touted as an
"innovative" program meant to protect wetlands,wildlife and habitat from unrestrained growth.
The Rural Fringe Mixed Use District limited the real estate ownership rights for personi holding land
in either the designated "sending" or "receiving" areas, which include the small parcel now seeking a
variance. The program ivwas designed to "direct growth potential to appropriate locations." The
county, assured land holders that this plan was not inverse condemnation since the "taking" ofthese
real property rights would be paid for, as to the "sending" areas, by allowing development credits to be
sold to those in the "receiving" area. As to the "receiving" area, limitations on density and other
restrictions would remain in place but could be removed by pwchasing development ,'credits" from
sending areas. Allowing the construction of a huge Communication Tower in the very center of areas
which have reliantly remained pristine, is totally contrary to the plan Collier County assured citizens
they could depend on. To illustrate, when Ave Maria was initiated, also several decades ago, a plan
which is, in part, almost word for word the same plan as the Rural Fringe plan here, also had receiving
areas which invited development ofthoughtful and desirable villages. The building ofa huge
communications Tower in what is now the center of Ave Maria would certainly never have been
allowed. Our community, which we and our neighbors refer to as North Belle Meade has evolved very
slowly but "naturally" until now. It's beauty and "old Florida" character display potential for becoming
a cultural center to exhibit how humankind can (and perhaps must) respect and leam to live with nature
rather than to control it.
Other factors in opposition include:
L Failure ofproper notification. A letter from Ignite Wireless stated that someone would be
contacting me "directly within the next few days...." about a variance which would "not
adversely affect [my] property interest". The letter which was dated June 22, 2020 was not
postmarked until July 01, 2020 and, with delivery time, was already way past the "nexr few
days". ln fact no one has contacted me directly. My neighbor, who's property is contiguous to
mine, first informed me.
2. As to my above mentioned neighbor, another tower located within, roughly, 118 mile of the
instant tower, has been applied-for. That tower would sit directly north of this neighbor's
residence in full view of his superbly manicured home and show horse farm. We both oppose
both towers.
3. Construction and operation ofthe instant tower would inliinge on a legally established
3.C.g
Packet Pg. 575 Attachment: Attachment F - Opposition Letters (14783 : PL20190002701 Kapok St. Cell Tower)
prescriptive easement ofuse for cattle exchange connecting my property to that of Mr.
Stahlman whose land lies immediately west of the proposed tower location. This easement,
while not recorded, is visible and meets the legally required time frame.4. An existing tower, taller than the proposed tower, is within 3 miles. There may also be other
existing towers which the undersigned has yet to leam about.5. The proposed tower property owner is not seeking this variance. A lessee whose lease is
presumably contingent on being able to build this tower is thus not adversely affected by a
failure to succeed in doing so. There are many tracts of land in the general area, but away from
established neighborhoods, which are potentially available. Indeed collier County may itself
ou,n such property and, ifso, may be legally obligated to offer it for a Tower purpose pusuant to
code.
6. There exists a bam within reach of this tower should it fail. The bam is packed with antique
farming equipment, some of which may not be replaceable. We anticipate, within the near
future, that this machinery will play an essential role in the devolopment ofAgritourism on the
property pursuant to F.S. 570.85. A huge Communication Tower next to the bam destroys the
farm-like environment and, should humans be in the barn they may well be injured or killed.
The above described objections are not necessarily all inclusive.
Thank you very much. Please acknowledge receipt.

P1201 90002701 Oppositional letter
ExrER N AL EMAIL: This emall is from an extcrnalsource. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when
opening attachments or cllcklng llnks.
Dear Mr. Finn;
ln addition to items discussed in a previous oppositional letter dated August 16, 2020, in the above matter, I draw your
attention to the following items of opposition:
7. There are numerous miSrating birds which pass overhead, where we and the proposed tower are located. A 225 ft
tower will most likely interfere with their passage. Other birds, fauna and species may well also be adversely impacted.
8.lt is Senerally accepted that new 5G technology will soon be available. As to 5G towers, it is said that
" While most current cell towers are large, freestanding behemoths, the cell towers of the future are smaller devices
which companies aim to mount onto lampposts, rooftops, traffic lights and other appropriate spots...". (see www.the
whizcells.com). Communication tor rers, such as the one proposed above, will very soon be obsolete, serving no
necessary function but remaining as a blight on the North Belle Meade community.
9. The proposed tower would constitute an infringement or invasion of a right to privacy recognized, by the U.5.
Supreme Court and also available pursuant to Amendment 9 of the U.S. Constitution. lt is very easy to also envision a
violation of our ri8ht of protection from unlawful searches. My property is immediately (literally within 15-20 feet) next
to the proposed tower. lmagine, if you will, going out of your door every day or night not knowing what camera or other
device could be available to this tower for police surveillance. lt is, afterall, said to be built, in part, for police use.
10. The proposed Tower, by its very nature, will be an unsi8htly disturbance for the entire neighborhood and, by using
this site, nothinS is being done to avoid "adverse visual impact... through careful siting." as called for by the code.
(5.05'09A). There is within the same general area vacant property, for example, owned by the Collier county School
District, as well as other Collier County owned land which would meet the code's requirement that use of government
owned property must be considered, where available.
11. Mosquito control low flying planes frequently fly east-west along the southern edge of Golden Gate Estates,
precisely where this tower would be located. Thus, it creates a hazard and would interfere in such needed routes. Once
built, this entire area will lack adequate needed mosquito control.
12. As previously stated, the area in question is designated "rural fringe", an overlay whose purpose is protection for
land of "critical concern". lf protection of a NRPA, within close reach, can be ignored in "receiving lands", such receiving
lands here, lack the lgM required to even be part of the designated "rural fringe". That result clearly threatens the
1gA! status of a "rural fringe" not only in North Belle Meade but elsewhere in the county. (see Koon2 v. St John's River
Manacemen t District 133 5. Ct. 2585.570 U5 595,Supreme Court , 2013.)
13.The proposed tower fails to meet requirements of code 5.05.09G(7)(b) which provides, in part, that the tower must
be at a distance of at least yI of its height, or 112.5 feet (assuming no antennas)from the boundary of my property.
14. The proposed tower would be required to have white strobing lights at alltimes, every single night, without let-up.
Being so close to such constant invasion of peace and serenity is a severe burden. lt destroys the very reason my family
and I purchased this property some 50 years a8o. lt also results in interference with other wildlife habitat.

As a real estate professional I am really surprised that Collier County is considering permitting a cell

What about our health hazards?
We, as the land owner, will be stuck in here. These towers will cause hardship on all of us not able to sell

tower will be less than 550 ft to my bed. ls fanny 550 FrangipaniAve property owners do not reside at

Variance lnformation for PL20190002701- Kapok St
Thank you, Ms. Velasco for the prompt response. ln reviewing the variance application I see numerous legal barriers to
the application. Without listing all of them at this time, I do request that this message be considered as opposition to the
variance application. Two issues, in opposition raise immediate barriers, but several others will be forthcoming if
necessary: 1. The hardship does not arise from the land, but rather from the proposed project. 2. Any hardship was "self
imposed". The owner and/or lessee are not permitted
to propose a project which violates code at the time of purchase or lease, and then claim hardship because of the
project they desire to create.The hardship must run with the land, not the project.
Please also consider this message as my request to be notified promptly should any meeting or discussion concerning
this application be scheduled or when my input could be beneficial for your consideration as to my opposition. Thank
you kindly, J. Richard Smith

October 21,2020
Dear Collier County Growth Management,
The Frangipani Ag Community Civic Association serves residents and properry owners in an area
of three square miles in North Belle Meade. At our board meeting on October 14,2020 our agenda
included the issue of two proposed cell towers. They are identified as follows: Kapok St. PL20190002701
seeking a variance, and Frangipani St. PL20200000886 seeking an SDP. There was an extensive
discussion. The members expressed many concerns, the main ones being:
l. The Kapok St. tower application variance is being requested by a lessee, not the land owner.
There are plenty of other uses for this lot in addition to the potential to sell the lot. We do not
believe there is undue hardship in this situation, therefore we do not believe a variance should be
granted.
2. This is one of the last beautiful natural residential areas of Collier County. Having one or both of
these towers will be a detriment to the county's protected area.
3. The towers are proposed in RFMUD Receiving zoning. We believe these towers will inhibit the
plan of the RFMUD.
4. There are other towers within 6 miles of these sites that should be explored for the possibility of
co-locating before these towers are built. These existing towers have access points already
established, and should be utilized to their maximum capacity before additional towers should be
permitted.
5. Residents are concerned with the constant flashing waming lights illuminating the surrounding
area, disturbing the rural character of the neighborhood as originally protected and planned by
Collier County. Every resident of our North Belle Meade community places an extremely high
value on privacy.
6. We propose other commercial areas for the towers, with an already complete and very capable
infrastructure, as well as much easier access and security, such as: Wilson Blvd. & Golden Gate
Blvd., and Everglades BIvd. & Golden Gate Blvd. These locations would better serve the
community as a whole with upgraded service provided for many more outlying and congested
residents.
We request this letter be added to both project records and recorded as our opposition to the construction
of both towers.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Penner

Following our phone conversation, you forwarded to me the attached "property owner letter" . I had been inquiring
concerning details of the HEX meeting and you mentioned that this letter should have been sent to me on October 23,
2020. Perhaps it was, but as I mentioned to you, no such letter has yet been received. The time restrictions mentioned
in the letter: only 5 minutes to speak and no documents unless submitted 10 days prior, are very restrictive. This matter
is of grave concern, not only to me, but to our entire neighborhood. I would request a loosening of these restrictions.
Thank you very much, J.Richard Smith

Tim, my name is Mike Brower . I am the owner of 320 Frangipani ave.
I purchased the property several years ago and have an agricultural palm tree farm there now.
The proposed tower will severally diminish the value of my property. I own the access entry to lhe easement that would
give the tower owners access .
First I find it strange that the county owned property nearby where the wells are placed would not be available for such
commercial use .
I purchased the property in anticipation of a development opportunity eventually in the last receivable land for such
development. My property would not be a desirable placed to be used for a residence if it is allowed to go in.
I believe lwould be damaged by such invasion of a severely large metallic structure. And lalso believe there is evidence
that the tower and its transmission are safe and should therefore not be allowed in a residential area so close lo human
dwellings .
I am apposed to the variance use of the nearby property.
Sincerely, Mike Brower / Brower enterprises llc.

VARIANCE PETITIION APPLICATION (PL20190002701)
KAPOK STREET, NAPLES, FL 34117
PARCEL ID# 00307840002
RESPONSE TO STAFF COMMENT: TIMOTHY FINN #3
Staff comment:
Pursuant to LDC 5.05.09(D)(E) and (F) for shared tower use, please demonstrate that either you can or can not
work an arrangement for a shared tower use? Please see the Collier County Communication Towers Map as
Towers 1 and 18 are in proximity to the Kapok St Cell Tower property. Moreover, there is an Site Development
Plan (SDP) application (PL20200000886) for a proposed cell tower to be located at 550 Frangipani Avenue located
approximately 2065 feet to the east of the Kapok St Cell Tower property. Please explain why you can't share this
tower?
Response:
While we would consider any offer for another entity/provider to share the proposed tower on Kapok St., we are
not aware of any other towers that would provide necessary and adequate capacity and geographic coverage area
to achieve our objectives, and sharing another tower at another location is not a feasible option. To our
knowledge, there is no applicable separation requirement with respect to a tower at the Kapok St. location relative
to other towers in the vicinity.
As to the SDP application (PL20200000886) referenced in the staff comment, which relates to a proposed 185’
tower over 2,000 feet away from the proposed Kapok St. tower, that application was submitted on 7/27/2020,
according to the County’s website. The proposed Kapok St. tower is 250’, over 1/3 higher than the tower if the
application referenced by staff.
While the application for PL20200000886 was submitted on July 27, 2020, in the case of the Kapok St. Tower, a
preapplication meeting was first held November 12, 2019. As a result of that meeting, applicant prepared a
variance application, and a second pre‐application meeting was held on December 4, 2019 for the variance. At the
December 4, 2019 pre‐application meeting, applicant was advised (in error) that the tower use was not allowed by
right, and that a conditional use would be required.
Following a subsequent application for zoning interpretation, on March 17, 2020, staff formally determined the
use was a permitted use at this location, and that a conditional use was not required, but reiterated that a variance
would be necessary. Applicant has since filed the variance application that is presently under review.
Applicant first formally requested approval requirements for the tower in August 2019 (see ZLTR‐PL20190001999),
and has been diligently pursuing approval of the tower since then. Applicant has engaged in sincere, costly, and
diligent efforts over the past 11 months. This has included two pre‐application meetings, two ZVL’s, and
uncertainty created by erroneous “conditional use” instruction. Given Applicant’s significant efforts, the lack of any
codified tower separation requirement, the lack of any record of any tower application being filed until 7/27/2020,
and the significant investment incurred to date, it is appropriate for Applicant to move forward with its plans at
this location, which have been a matter of public record for almost a year.
Concurrent with these efforts, Applicant notified the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) of its plans, and the
FAA issued a formal “Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation” on October 23, 2019 for the proposed Kapok
St. tower. FAA notification is the industry standard for putting other would‐be tower owners on notice that there
is a tower application pending. The tower application referenced by staff (PL20200000886) has not, to our
knowledge, registered with or received any such determination from the FAA.

Plantation, FL 33322
Collier County,
January 6, 2021
RE: Letter in support of need for new AT&T site at or near the location of the proposed Cityswitch tower
build (AT&T site name “Rural Estates”) in Collier County, FL.
Summary
AT&T has an existing and ongoing need for a new facility in the vicinity of the proposed Cityswitch
tower build to improve coverage, capacity and service experience for our customers in the vicinity. The
required improvements to coverage and service quality cannot be accomplished through modifications to
AT&Ts existing sites. The proposed tower height of 250’ would place AT&T’s antennas at the optimal
height to close a service gap caused by a lack of towers in the area. AT&T is aware of another tower
being proposed in the vicinity, but the available height on that tower is below the minimum 200’ height
needed to serve the target area and significantly below the optimal 250’ height.
To summarize, if the proposed Cityswitch tower were built, AT&T would consider this tower the optimal
candidate for a currently funded wireless site and would move forward with colocation.
The following pages contain radio frequency coverage plots showing the existing coverage as well as
predicted coverage for the AT&T network with antennas installed at the 245’ elevation.
Sincerely,
Maiko Llanes

Existing coverage without proposed site:
Green = good outdoor and indoor service
Yellow = useable outdoor, marginal indoor service
Red = marginal outdoor, poor to no indoor service
Magenta – no indoor, poor to no outdoor service
As can be seen in the map above, there is currently a large coverage gap in the vicinity of the proposed
Cityswitch tower spanning from Golden Gate Blvd south to I-75.

Predicted coverage with antennas at 245’ elevation on proposed site:
Green = good outdoor and indoor service
Yellow = useable outdoor, marginal indoor service
Red = marginal outdoor, poor to no indoor service
Magenta – no indoor, poor to no outdoor service
On this map, the coverage improvement from the proposed site is shown. It is expected to provide
significant improvements in both outdoor and in-building service as well as higher data speeds throughout
the coverage area by offloading the surrounding sites.
