July ". 1989 FDNR, Florida Marine Research Institute) IV - 7 - APPENDIX 3 MECHANICAL BEACH CLEANING AND SEA TURTLE HABITAT MANAGEMENT -MeChanical beach cleaning has a number of deleterious effects on sea turtle nest viability, hatchling emergence, and our ability to monitor nesting populations. Repeated use of heavy mechanized equipment to remove debris over deposited nests compacts beach sand and lowers hatch success (as does the use of vehicles on the beach). ~car the end of the incubation period, and prior to emergence, sea turtle hatchlings make their way up toward the surface of the sand for several days until environmental conditions that trigger emergence are met. During this time they are particularly vulnerable to any activities Which would cause compaction or disturbance of the sand above them. The impacts of vehicles or mechanized equipment could result in high hatchling mortality or may cause them to emerge before they are ready. Cleaning and driving on nesting beaches during the nesting season also obscures tracks left by nesting females or emerging hatchlings. These "crawls or tracks" are enumerated during beach surveys and used to monitor nesting and hatching activities. It is essential that we remain able to interpret these tracks in order continue accurate surveys. The following beach cleaning operating conditions were developed by staff of the Florida Marine Research Institute. MECHANIZED BEACH CLEANING CCCL CONDITIONS All mechanical beach cleaning activities designed to remove debris from the beach, alter beach profiles, or disturb more than the upper two (2) inches of beach sediment through the use of motorized vehicles or other mechanical means, shall comply with the following standards: Equipment, methodologies and points of access should be consistent with long-term beach-dune preservation established by the local government and the Department. Beach cleaning shall be confined to daylight hours and should be confined to the non-nesting season. During the nesting season (May 1 through October 31): (1) Beach cleaning operations shall be limited to the debris line (previous high tide mark) whenever possible. (2) Light-weight motorized vehicles having wide, low-profile, low-pressure, tires shall be used to conduct beach cleaning operations instead of heavy equipment. (3) Devices used for removing debris from the beach shall be designed and/or operated such that they do not penetrate beach sediments by more than two inches. . IV - 8 - Motorized Vehicles, General operations The following protection measures during the nesting season (May 1 through October 31) are established for the protection of sea turtles: The operation of motorized vehicles, including but not limited to, any self-propelled, wheeled, tracked, or belted conveyance, should be prohibited on the beach during the nesting season, except in cases of law enforcement, emergency or as otherwise approved by the local government.

Moni- toring of nesting and hatching success may be required for up to three years. In areas of known leatherback nesting, monitoring may be required beginning March 1. If construction (regardless of timing) involves beach front lighting or illuminated struc- tures, then SUbmission of an STPP addressing lighting impacts is required and should follow the guidelines outlined and provided herein. The ap_ plicant is strongly encouraged to seek the services ot an ~n- vironmental consulting tirm that possesses expertise regar- ding sea turtles when develop- ing an STPPtor coastal construction, erosion control installations, or illuminated structures. During construc- tion, temporary security light- ing shall be limited to the fewest number of lights neces- sary to provide adequate secur- ity. These lights shall not be mounted more than 15 feet above the ground, illuminate areas outside the subj ect property, or directly illuminate areas of the beach. PERMANENT LIGHTING The negative effects of beach front lighting on sea turtle hatchling survival are well d~cumented. Ha tchl ings emerge during hours of darkness, which allows them to make their journey to seavhen sand temperatures are low and terrestrial and aquatic predators comparatively few. Under natural conditions, the ocean usually presents the bright~s~ horizon, and this se~es, as a cue to hatchlings i11" their ocean-finding behavior. 'Artificial lights, \Jhich 'are a, common feature of Florida's developed coastline, serVe. as powerful attractants to'cthei hatchlings as they emerge' from their nests. In- stead of making their way to the "ocean, disoriented hatchlings wander extensively on'the beach, through adjacent parking lots, or across high- ways . toward light sources. Most die from desiccation, dir- ~'?~ i. '1~osure to. the m<;>rning sun: "or contact w ~ th veh1cles. Even for those hatchlings that eventually reach the ocean, ~im~ceEisary wandering caused by disorientation increases risks (,f;;predadon .on the beach and eXpends limited energy stores.

Recommended Alternatives Recommended alternatives for improving water quality in Moorings Bay can be divided into two major categories: (1) measures to decrease the pollutant load entering the bay through voluntary citizen action or regulation, and (2) measures to improve the circulation and flushing of the bay. Three alternatives are recommended under each category as follows: 1. Measures to Decrease the Pollutant Load a. Conduct public awareness campaigns about the sources of pollution. A campaign should be initiated to inform the public about sources r i j ;it ~ I ! "' ~ of excess nutrients and other pollutant substsnces which enter the bay. It seems evident that lawn and garden debris represent one type of pollutant. A voluntary committment by the citizens should be encouraged to eliminate as many pollutants as possible which may enter the bay. Residents should be urged to use this biodegradable debris as mulch or compost in place of fertilizers or to place the debris in sealed (prefer- )i ~ t 1 It ably reusable) containers to be collected. This action will pre.e~t the debris from washing into the bay. , .l .2 < } " <~ ;;: ~t , Pesticides and fertilizers are other common pollutants. Residents ~hould be encouraged to use native plants when landscaping, Native plants are generally 'resistant to insect pests and disease and are ..... .~ adapted to the amount of qutrients and water which is characteristic of '; the area. Therefore, the addition of pesticides and fertilizers and ( excesslve'~aterlng should not be necessary. IV - 24 - Reaidenta ahould alao be warned about the hazanJ" of dumping paints, oil, gnDol~ne and similar aubstances directly into the bay, or on the street snd in storm drains where the substances enter the bay indirectly. RaW sewage entering the bay via recreational boats is another substante, which w11l degrade the bay. Boating enthusiasts ahould be urged to prevent rsw sewage from entering the bay from their boats. There are numerous ways to increase the public's awareness of these problems, lnformative pamphlets could be printed at a nominal cost snd distributed with utility bills, or by other means, by the city or the county. Public service announcements in local newspspers and on local radio and T.V. stations should also be of little cost. Technical assistance from the state would be available, if needed, for the develop- ment of pamphlets and public aervice announcements. Messages could be displayed on biLlboards, buses and similar outlets for advertising. A "hot line" could be established to encourage public involvement. The "hot line" could be used by citizens who wished to reporc incidents which might adversely affect the water quality. The line could also be used for residents seeking guidance as to how they might help prevent furcher pollution. The public awareness approach is the least costly and potentially the most effective of all proposed alternatives. b. Decrease excess nutrients and other pollutants. Informing the residents abouC the need to prevent pesticides, fercilizers, yard debris, sewage and similar subsrances from entering che bay and relying on voluntary committments to chis end may be suf- ficient, However, local governments have the regulatory authority to concrol these types of pollution. Enforcement of actions to prevent these types of pollution is generally most efficiently handled at the IV - 25 - I 1 I , , local level. ^ mOl"llorlum could be placed on the application of nIl f , , \ fertilizers and pesticide6 prior to hCilVY fains. An ordlu..1ncc requirinG that all yard debris not used for compost or mulch be placed in scaled , \ ! , i I j I i ... containers and left by the road for collection could be developed and adopted. Those residents needing collection service could be required .to purchase sturdy bins, or the bins could be furnished by the city or county. c. Decrease the Bmount of stormwater entering the bay. The first two recommendations do not address the complex problem of dealing with stormwater. Residents can be informed about the excess nutrients and pollutants carried into the bay via storwwater Bnd they can be encouraged or required to prevent certain of these substances . from being transported via stormwater. But the residents have little 1 < , j t , ~ 1 , , i ~ control over the large quantity of stormwater which is channeled into the bay. This problem must be addressed at a higher level. The city and county are encouraged to work with tbe Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council on the stormwater issue, The council is in the process of compiling a plan for dealing with stormwater problems on a regional hasis. Interest and input from the local level could be very effective in mitigating the amount of pollutants which enter the bay with the storwwater. , The reason that stormwater has become such a problem in this area is that prior to 1959 the majority of the surrounding shore stored the rainwater, The rainwater was then slowly released and was filtered through the ground and the mangroves before entering the bay. Now this area features vast expanses of impervious streets. parking 10t8 and IV - 26 - otructUHS, Rninwster which was previously cleansed and slowly released to the bay,now picks up additional pollutants from lawns, streets and parking lots and enter a the bay in pulses. .~ ........ Because the area surrounding Moorings Bay is extremely developed , I i 1 I \ I f i I there will probably be little chance of constructing detention or reten- tion ponds for partial treatment of the stormwater if treatment is deemed necessary. An alternative that may be of benefit is the use of suitable pervious materials to construct new streets and parking lots and to repair existing facilities. Costs for purchasing and placing pervious materials is not expected to be significantly greater than costs for constructing streets and parking lots with standard impervious materials, but a significant improvement in water quality could occur. More informa- Erosion should not .be a significant problem in this area because of . t i t ~ t t < ! , tion is needed to determine the precise benefits and costs of this ~- alternative. the established residences. Construction sites generally present a problem, though, and foremen should be required to take the necessary precautions (e.g., placing staked bales of hay). Mandating the removal of as ma~y e~cess nutrients ~~d other pol1u- \ tants as possible is a stronger measure than merely educating the resi- 1 , i ~ 1 , ~ dents about the causes of pollution. However, the cost of this action i ! is minimal and recommendations la and lb could readily be combined at , the local level for a more comprehensive attack on the problem. At an additional cost to the'loca1 governments, streets and parking lots could be swept frequently with mechanical sweepers to remove accurou- 1ated polluting materials which would otherwise be transported into the \ IV - 27 - . 1 .:r. :l " ( storm scwers via runoff. Vncuum-l\9si6tcd brush G\Jccpcre are best Gu1ted ': for removing the very small particles of inorganic nutrients, which are .. . not removed by conventional sweepers (Sartor aod Boyd 1972). Sweepers .' , could effectively reduce the amount of inorganic nutrients, organic .:'1 material, and man-made pollutants entering the bay, but are costly to ,~ t l ~ ,"- 'ii .~~ ..,.-to 1- "" ~~ ~.:. :. it ( J f ..{) '< " f 'i 'i f .c ! acquire and maintain and are energy intensive. The limited water quality data ava!1able indicate that the level of pollution in Moorings Bay may be decreasing. If a drive to reduce the pollutant load is effective and the exchange of waters with the Gulf can be improved, the quality of the water in the body of Moorings Bay should reach an acceptable level. 2. Measures to Improve the Circulation and Flushing a. Return the depth of Moorings Bay and the canals to a more natural level. Mitigating the pollutant load of Moorings Bay is a necessary first step in improving water quality but existing pollutants must then be . removed from the system. Improving the circulation and flushing of the bay would deal with this problem. Tbe most effective means of improving the flushing of the bay is by decreasing the depth. A depth of five or -1- ,. six feet at mean low water (HLW) should be sufficient to ~eet ~avig3- ( tional requirements but would cause a reduction in the volume of the. bay to approximately one half of ita present volume. This reduction should , significantly increase the rate of flushing. The decreased depth would also result in a more effective vertical mlxing, partially alleviating -" the problem of low oxygen content of deep waters. Reducing the volume of the bay and canals by decreasing the depth ( can be accomplished in one of two ways. The first way would be to place IV - 28 - cl<,on, uncontalllinnted fill in the boy ond conala to bring the depth "ithin five to aix feet MLW, The amount o( (ill required to produce this effect "ould be enormouS (approximntely 12 x 106 or 12 lIlillion cubic ysrda). Since large quantities of fill ~teria1 are not availab}e ....... in the vicinity of the bay, the fill would have to be imported. . The cost of purchasing, transporting, and placing large quantities of fill would be extremely high. Clean f11l costs approximately $3/cubic yard in Collier County, yielding a total cost of approximately $36,000,000 .for fill. Even if the funds could be obtained, or sufficient fill was donated, fi~ of an appropriate composition and grain size would have to be located and the necessary permits would have to be procured. An easier and less costly solution would be to simply "ait for the sedimentation process to fill 10 the deep areas of the bay and canals. \. It is difficult to eatimate how long thia procesa might take. If nO maintenance dredging is conducted in the body of tbe bay, a gradual but noticable improvement in flushing is expected because of the decreased volume. b. Widen the underpasses beneath tbe Barbour Drive and Parkshore Drive bridges. Increasing the cross sectional areas of the bridge underpasses could enhance flushing of the central and northern segments of the bay by increasing the flow of water to and frolll these areas. Widening of these un~erpasses would also allow the waters of the three segments of the bay to intermix more freely. This action would primarily benefit the northern reaches of the bay through an increased rate of removal of introduced nutrients and organic detritus. Widening of these under- \. passes would be a relatively costly undertaking, since the bridges would IV - 29 - ; , .' j , I I . j ! 1 I I I r I !

Maintain exiating bathymetric contours at Doctors Pass aod at bridge underpasses. I ~ f C~ ~. " ,< 1 . Bathymetric measurements suggest that Doctors Pass and the bridge underpasses are subjected to considerable shoaling and infilling (Missimer and Associates 1980). Periodic dredging of these. areas could improve flow and, thereby, increase flushing. This limited maintenance dredg- ing should be relatively inexpensive, aod should be considered. State dredging permits are required and would oeed to be obtained before i r ~ maintenaoce dredging could take place. j B. Alternatives CoosideredBut Not Recommended , .! Six additional alternatives were coosidered but are oot recommended. I " Some of these alternatives were proposed by Hissimer and Associates (1980) while others had been regarded at the local level as options which , might remedy the water quality problem, Rejection of the altcrnatives listed below is based primarily on the limited improvement in water __quality which would be expected, the extreme costs, and the possible detrimental effects to o.ther systems. ( IV - 30 - communication). Placing dprap along the cntit.e shore] ine of Hoorlnga Bay would cost approximately $4,536,000 to $4,832,000. It is douutful that the degree of improvemeot in water quality would justify such a large expenditure. If riprap could b~ acquired at low coat aod placed using city or county equipment the cost might be reduced considerably. It is also possible that certain areas of shoreline could be identified where the defraction is greatest. Riprap could be placed only at these locationa ; 1 r f , ~. , .. ~ ~ i i . I . , ~ to affect the greatest benefit for the least cost. 3. Construct an Additional Pass to the Gulf A pass could be excavated through the narrow strip of land which separates the northern reach of the bay from the Gulf. By providing an . additional route of exchange of bay water and Gulf water, flushing might be increased, particularly in the northern segment of the bay. However, construction of a new pass would be very difficult to accomplish since .- }.. . . ~. ~ ~. i ~ . the strip of land which separates the bay from the Gulf is almost totally developed. In addition, there is an excellent possibility that . . ; i- ~ the new pass would experience continuous shoaling. The lack of adequate undeveloped land through which a pass could be excavated and the expense ~ of creating and maintaining a new pass makes this alternative an un- ~ desirable one. ~ ~ 4. Install Culverts to Connect the Canals Culverts could be installed at the eastern ends of the canals in an ., attempt to increase flushing and circulation in the canals. While some movement of water would t5ke place through the culverts, the magnitude of exchange would be slight because there would be little dri~ing force \. IV - 31 - 1. En1arRe the Connection Between Moorings Bay and Outer Clalll Bay Consideration wss given to replacing the csuBewsy at Sesgate Road with a bridge. The width of the connection between the two bays would be increased to approximately 275 feet (Missimer and Associates 1980). The cost of replacing the causeway with a bridge would be approximately $300,000. Increased exchange of water between the two baya could enhance , I flushing of the northern extremity of the bay. However, in order to prevent excessive dewatering of Clam Bay, a structure which would permit t . I r r I only northerly flow would have to be constructed. Such a structure would limit the potential increase in flushing and add to the overall costa. In addition, the:flow of water from Moorings Bay to Clam Bay could have a aignificant negative impact on the water quality of Clam r Bay. Activities which could significantly degrade the water quality of "- a Class II waterbody are stringently regulated. In view of the limited benefits expected in terms of flushing of Mooring Bay, the possible ad- verse consequences for Clam Bay and the sizable costs, this alternative is not recollllllended. 2. Place Riprap Along tbe Vertical Seawalls i , I f [ f Riprap placed against the concrete seawalls could enhance circula- tion and flow of water. Flow defraction and the formation of eddies at protruding seawalls would be decreased, with an ensuing increase in circulation in the canal. Riprap would also provide a narrow zone of shallow water habitat for organisms which inhabit the bay. The cost of . . placing riprap is estimated to be between $70/11near foot and $90/1inear ~~ foot. The entire shoreline within Moorings Bay is approximately 64,800 linear feet {Tolll McDaniels, Collier County Plsnning Office, personal IV - 32 - to induce movement of water between the enda of the canala. In addition, placement of culverta would neceasitate extensive excavation through private developed property, and could greatly Inconvenience the landownero. 5. Reroute the Storm Sewer System ( The stonn sewer system which empties into Hoorings Bay could be i l t , , t [ rerouted to retention or detention areas on land, or to the sanitary sewer system where it would enter the Naples sewage treatment plant. This action would almost completely eliminate the influx of pollutant laden freshwater into the bay. The improvement in the water quality of the bay which would result from this course of action could be.substan- ~ , tial. However, rerouting of the storm sewer system would be extremely costly and time consuming. A detailed stormwater study was not possible with the limited funds '-. available for this Phase 1 Study. Information concerning the type and amount of pollutants which enter the bay via stormwater would be necessary before large sums of money are spent to reroute the stormwater. In addi- tion it is doubtful that a sufficient amount of undeveloped land exists in the vicinity of the bay for the construction of retention or .detention ponds. Diversion of collected runoff to the Naples sewage treatment plant is inadvisable because the increased burden would overload the plant and the effluent from the plant is discharged into Naples Bay. Increasing the load of freshwater and contaminants which enters the plant could have a ~ignifl~nt negative impact on Naples Bay which is already polluted (Simpson et al. 1979). Therefore, neither of these methods of rerouting the storm sewer system Is recommended. '. IV - 33 - 1 6. Remove Accumulated Sedimenta Accumulated o'-ganic material in the sediments of the bay could periodically be removed by shallow dredging. This would be relatively ~ i expensive and is unlikely to have any long-term beneficial results in I terms of the water quality of the bay. During the dredging operation, , " J i . ) ~ t 1 J I . 1 oj f ".--: oxidizable sediment would be resuspended in the water column, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the water. This ~uld adversely affect organisms inhabiting the bay. Following dredging, accumulation of organic matter in the sediments would resume, quickly negating the effect of their removal. The benefits to be derived from such mainten- ance dredging would be slight and, considering the costs and short-term problems associated with dredging, this action is not recommended. 7. Maintain Culverts Beneath Seagate Road Maintenance cleaning of the culverts beneath Seagate Road could ; } increase flow through the culverts, but is unlikely to produce any .' ., ~ ; 1 , significant beneficial results in terms of flushing because the exchange of water through the culverts would still be very slight. Such action is, therefore, not recommended. '.

Financial assistance is defined as "any form of loan, grant, guaranty, insurance, payment, rebate, subsidy or any form of direct or indirect federal assistance." The CBRS eliminated expenditure of federal revenues of financial assistance for items such as buildings, airports, roads, bridges, causeways, piers, jetties, seawalls, water supply, sewage systems, utility lines, flood insurance and VA or FHA loans. DWellings presently covered by federal flood insurance will continue to be covered since the CBRA prohibits new coverage for new structures (after October 1, 1983). However, any improvement which increases the value of the residence more than 50%, or if a replacement structure is built, will not be eligible for insurance. other Restricted Proqrams section 5(a) of the CBRA states that the limitation on new expenditures or new financial assistance includes, but is not limited to: 1. construction or purchase of any structure, appurtenance, facility, or related infrastructure; 2. construction or purchase of any road, airport, boat landing facility, or other facility on, or bridge or causeway to, any CBRS unit; and 3. assistance for erosion control or other stabilization of any inlet, shoreline, or inshore area. The U.S. Department of the Interior has interpreted the CBRA's restrictions to include, but not be limited to, the following programs: Department of Aariculture Farmers Home Administration - Loans for rural disaster relief, water systems, IV - 39 - wastewater systems, commercial development, community services, and subdivision development. Rural Electrification Administration - Loans for new or expanded electrical systems that would encourage development. soil Conservation service - Assistance grants. Department of Commerce United states Army Corps of Engineers - Construction and financial assistance involving beach erosion control, hurricane protection, flood control works; and new or expanded navigation projects. Department of Enerqy Energy development programs. Department of Housinq and Urban Development Block grants for community development. Mortgage insurance, housing assistance, or rehabilitation subsidy programs. Urban Development Action Grants. Environmental Protection Aqency Grants for wastewater treatment construction (Section 201 grants) and water quality management planning (Section 208 grants) . Federal Emerqencv Manaqement Aqency National Flood Insurance Program. Disaster Assistance Program (except as allowed under the CBRA) . Federal Home Loan Administration Guaranteed housing loans. General Services Administration Construction or reconstruction of Federal property for development purposes. Small Business Administration IV - 40 - Loans to small businesses for disaster relief, upgrading of water treatment systems, and other purposes. Disaster assistance to homeowners. Veterans Administration Home loan guarantees. Note: This list may not be all-inclusive. Each Federal agency is responsible for review of its programs to assure compliance with the CBRA. EXEMPTIONS FROM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: 1. Deposit on account insurance for customers of banks, savings and loans, credit union or similar institutions. 2. Environmental studies - assistance for environmental studies planning and assessments is allowed for activities required by the National Environmental Policy Act, and for processing of permits such as these required under section 404 of the Clean Water Act or section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. 3. Programs unrelated to development such as public assistance programs, including student loans, social security benefits, Medicare and Medicaid, food stamps and other similar social programs. 4. certain erosion control projects only in cases where "an emergency threatens life, land and property immediately adjacent to that unit" (u.s. Dept. of the Interior, 1988b). .." ~m u.s.

They need not wor- ry. Mother Nature has a broader, more beautiful beach In store for them. Marco Island, like other barrier islands along the CuU Coast, is a dynamic ecosystem. Its sands are constantly shifting. It is part of a natural process that bas made this area a paradise, As it has many times In the past, Sand Dollar Island - the common name of the sand bar off Tigertail Beach - is moving inland to attach itseU to the mainland, It's DO big deal. It happens every 10 to 15 years. While the beach is sort of a mess right now, give nature time. The job is only haU-fmished. . . people, who weren't around the last time, worry that Ti- gertail faces disaster. They want to dredge a narrow chan- nel between Sand Dollar Island and Tigertail Beach for the convenience of boaters and swimmers. Relax. . When Sand Dollar Island completes its move to Tigertail . Beach, 'it will be one of Southwest Florida's most splendid beaches. Broad and glistening. In the meantime, the sand bar is providing a home and nesting ground for many of the region's endangered species \ of shore birds. I Rather than complaining that Tigertail is not, for the moment, the wide and open beach it used to be, take time to examine the dynamic process at close range. Enjoy the wonderous process. Don't be impatient with Mother Nature. Give her a chance to do her stuff.

The GOPs define short and long term management recommendations and provide implementation activities at the local level. The Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan is the guide for conservation, use, and protection of our natural resources. The GOPs in the plan provide recommendations for current and future problems and threats to the natural resources of Collier County. Objective 11.6 calls for the formulation and adoption of Coastal Barrier and Beach System Management Program. The GOPs which apply to this program are listed below. GOAL 1 The County shall continue to plan for the protection, conservation, management and appropriate use of its natural resources. POLICY 1.3.2 By August 1, 1990, designate and adopt management guidelines for the undeveloped coastal barrier and estuarine natural resources protection area. GOAL 6 The county shall identify, protect, conserve, and appropriately use its native vegetative communities and wildlife habitat. OBJECTIVE 6.1 By August 1, 1992, identify, define and prepare development standards criteria for all important native County habitats. POLICY 6.1.1 By August 1, 1990, inventory, define and prepare development standards and criteria, based on the presence of dominant or indicative species for intertidal and coastal strands, undeveloped coastal barriers, and xeric scrub habitats, with criteria for development and standards for land clearing in IV - 64 - these habitat areas. GOAL 11 The County shall protect, conserve, manage, and appropriately use its coastal barriers including shorelines, beaches and dunes and will plan for, and where appropriate, will restrict activities where such activities will damage or destroy coastal resources. OBJECTIVE 7.2 By January 1, 1990, West Indian Manatee deaths shall not exceed the 5-year average of 1983 through 1987 of 11 deaths. POLICY 7.2.1 Characterize and map designated critical manatee critical habitats and evaluate areas of greatest potential threats. 7.2.2 Establish restricted boat speed zones, channelized zones or route boat traffic around in areas where the greatest threat to injury of manatees is from boats. 7.2.3 In order to protect manatees, marinas shall be discouraged in designated manatee critical habitat unless other protective measures are provided (Reference policy 11.1.5). 7.2.4 The County will work with appropriate state and Federal agencies to identify areas where propeller driven boats will be prohibited. OBJECTIVE 7.3 By January 1, 1992, the County shall develop and implement programs for protecting fisheries and other animal wildlife. POLICY 7.3.1 The County shall to continue to enforce its existing sea turtle protection ordinance which provides standards for shielding outdoor lighting, protecting nests from surrounding construction activities, and relocating nests. 7.3.2 Prepare a guide for homeowners and builders which explains the need for protecting sea turtles and how this can be accomplished. 7.3.3 By the time mandated for the adoption of land development regulations pursuant to Chapter 163.3202, F.S., including any amendments thereto, the County will prepare management guidelines IV - 65 - .---.-.----'t'-..-.w---..- " to be incorporated as stipulations for land development orders and to inform land owners and the general public of proper practices to reduce disturbances to eagle nests, red-cockaded woodpeckers, Florida Panther, and wood stork habitat. By January 1, 1992, the County will complete the preparations of management guidelines for other species of special status. OBJECTIVE 11.1 priorities for shoreline land use shall be given to water dependent uses over water related land uses and shall be based on type of water-dependent use, adjacent land uses, and surrounding marine and upland habitat considerations. 11.2 The County shall continue to insure that access to beaches, shores and waterways remain available to the public and by December 31, 1992 develop a program to expand the availability of such access and a method to fund its acquisition. 11.3 Until the Coastal Barrier and Beach System Management Plan is adopted (Objective 11.6), undeveloped coastal barriers shall be maintained predominantly in their natural state and their natural function shall be protected, maintained and enhanced. ~ POLICY 11.3.1 "Undeveloped" coastal barrier systems shall be defined as set forth in the Federal Guidelines based on the amount of structures per acre of fastlands and for which no development approval or permits have been issued by Collier County, or plats recorded. "Fastlands" are the upland area as defined in the Federal Guidelines. 11.3.2 Any development activities on an undeveloped coastal barrier must be compatible with protection of the natural form and function of the coastal barrier system. 11.3.3 The highest and best use of undeveloped coastal barriers are as functioning natural systems; therefore the first alternative to development should be consideration of acquisition by or for the public benefit to preserve the natural function. 11.3.4 Public expenditure shall be limited to property acquisition and for public safety, education, restoration, exotic removal, recreation and research facilities that will not substantially alter the natural characteristics and the natural function of the undeveloped coastal barrier system. 11.3.5 Native or other County approved vegetation shall be required as the stabilizing medium in any coastal barrier vegetation or restoration program. IV - 66 - 11.3.6 Prohibit construction of structures seaward of the coastal construction Control Line on undeveloped coastal barriers. Exception shall be for passive recreational structures, access crossovers, and where enforcement would not allow any reasonable economic utilization of such property. In the latter event, require construction that minimizes interference with natural function of such coastal barrier system. 11.3.7 participate in and encourage regional and state programs to acquire naturally functioning, undeveloped coastal barrier systems to insure the preservation of their natural function. 11.3.S Development density on undeveloped coastal barrier systems shall not exceed the lowest density provided in the Future Land Use Element. 11.3.9 Native vegetation on undeveloped coastal barriers should be preserved. To the extent that native vegetation is lost during land development activities and the remaining native vegetation can be supplemented without damaging or degrading its natural function, any native vegetation lost during construction shall be replaced by supplementing with compatible native vegetation on site. All exotic vegetation shall be removed and replaced with native vegetation where appropriate. 11.3.10 No new bridges, causeways, paved roads or commercial marinas shall be permitted to or on undeveloped barrier systems. 11.3.11 Shoreline hardening structures (e.g., rip-rap, seawalls, groins, etc.) shall not be allowed on undeveloped coastal barriers except in the interest of public safety or of land use related hardship. 11.3.12 Require the use of the "Planned Unit Development" (PUD) provisions of the zoning ordinance for new developments or redevelopments proposed to take place within areas identified as Coastal Barrier system with the exception of one single family dwelling unit on a single parcel. 11.3.13 These policies shall be implemented through the existing liST" zoning procedures. 11.3.14 substantial alteration of the natural grade on undeveloped coastal barriers by filling or excavation shall be prohibited except as a part of an approved dune and/or beach restoration program, or as a part of a DER approved wastewater treatment system or as part of an approved public development plan. IV - 67 - 11.3.15 Agriculture and timbering are not exempt from the above goals, objectives, and policies related to coastal barrier systems. OBJECTIVE 11.4 until the Coastal Barrier and Beach System Management Plan is adopted (Objective 11.6), protect developed coastal barriers and developed shorelines by establishing mechanisms or projects which limit the effects of development and which help in the restoration of the natural functions of coastal barriers and affected beaches and dunes. POLICY 11.4.1 Promote environmentally acceptable and economically feasible restoration of the developed coastal barriers and the urban beach and dune systems. 11.4.2 Prohibit further shore hardening projects except where necessary to protect existing structures, considering the total beach system and adjacent properties. 11.4.3 Prohibit activities which would result in man induced shoreline erosion beyond the natural beach erosion cycle or that would deteriorate the beach and dune system. 11.4.4 Require dune stabilization and restoration improvements in land development projects along beach areas. 11.4.5 Initiate and support beach and dune restoration and preservation programs where appropriate. 11.4.6 Require native vegetation as landscaping on development activities in developed coastal barrier systems and on the beach and dune systems. 11.4.7 Prohibit construction seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line except where the same would be permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Florida Coastal Zone Protection Act of 1985 or where said prohibition would result in no reasonable economic utilization of the property in questions, or for safety reasons. In such cases, construction will be as far landward as is practicable and effects shall be minimized on the beach and dune system and the natural functions of the coastal barrier system. 11.4.8 Construction seaward or the Coastal Construction Control Line will be allowed for public access and protection and restoration of beach resources. construction seaward of the Coastal construction Control Line shall not interfere with sea turtle nesting, will utilize native vegetation for dune IV - 68 - stabilization, will maintain the natural beach profile, will minimize interference with natural beach dynamics, and where appropriate will restore the historical dunes and will vegetate with native vegetation. 11.4.9 Seawall construction fronting the Gulf of Mexico shall be prohibited except in extreme cases of hardship. 11.4.10 Vehicle traffic or traffic on the beach and primary dunes shall be prohibited except for emergency and approved maintenance purposes. The County shall enforce this requirement with the existing Vehicle On The Beach Ordinance. 11.4.11 Develop tax incentives and other land use incentives to encourage additional access or parking areas to provide utilization of the high capacity urban beaches. 11.4.12 In permitting the repair and/or reconstruction of shore parallel engineered stabilization structures, require, where appropriate, at a minimum: A. All damaged seawalls will be replaced with, or fronted by, rip-rap. B. Where appropriate, repaired structures will be redesigned and/or relocated landward to match up with adjacent structures. 11.4.13 Development and redevelopment proposals shall consider the implications of potential rise in sea level. OBJECTIVE 11.5 For developed shorelines, provide improved opportunities for recreational, educational, scientific, and esthetic enjoyment of coastal resources by protecting beaches and dunes and by utilizing or where necessary establishing construction standards which will minimize the impact of manmade structures on the beach and dune systems. POLICY 11.5.1 Recreation that is compatible with the natural functions of beaches and dunes is the highest and best land use. 11.5.2 By 1990, prioritize acquisition efforts in order to meet the projected need for additional public beaches. 11.5.3 Prohibit activities which would result in man induced shoreline erosion beyond the natural beach erosion cycle or that would deteriorate the beach dune system. IV - 69 - 11.5.4 Prohibit construction of any structure seaward of the Coastal construction Control Line. Exception shall be for passive recreational structures, access crossovers, and where enforcement would not allow any reasonable economic utilization of such property. In the latter event, require construction that minimizes interference with natural function of such beaches and dunes. 11.5.5 Prohibit motorize vehicles on the beaches and dunes except for emergency and maintenance purposes. The County shall enforce this requirement with the existing Vehicle On The Beach Ordinance. 11.5.7 Regulate activities so that they will not threaten the stability of the dunes or the beach itself. 11.5.8 Pursue the acquisition of undeveloped beaches and dunes as the first alternative to development. 11.5.9 Prohibit shoreline armoring processes and encourage non-structural methods for stabilizing beaches and dunes. 11.5.10 Prohibit construction seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line except as follows: a. Construction will be allowed for public access; b. For protection and restoration of beach resources; c. In cases of demonstrated land use related hardship or safety concerns as specified in the 1985 Florida Coastal Zone Protection Act, there shall be no shore armoring allowed except in cases of public safety. 11.5.11 Construction activities shall not interfere with the sea turtle nesting, shall preserve or replace any native vegetation on the site, and shall maintain the natural beach profile and minimize interference with the natural beach dynamics and function. 11.5.12 The County will waive all other non-safety related set-back requirements and site planning requirements before allowing construction seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. 11.5.13 For all beach front land development related projects require dune stabilization and restoration improvements, the removal of exotic vegetation, and replacement with native vegetation, as appropriate. IV - 70 - OBJECTIVE 11.6 By August 1, 1990, the County shall adopt a Coastal Barrier and Beach system Management Program. (EMP and ERS, 1989) IV - 71 -
