The subject property is zoned "A", Rural Agricultural District and is partially cleared and improved with the existing Yahl Mulching and Recycling facilities. (See Attachment D "Aerial FLUCFCS Map"). The adjacent properties include agricultural land uses (i.e.: single family homes, plant nursery and truck barn) to the north and east, Collier County and State right-of-way to the south, and Collier County Land Fill facility to the west, (See Attachment E "Existing Zoning and Land Use"). The property is in the AgriculturallRural Designation; Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD); North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) - Non Natural Resource Protection Area (Non-NRPA) Sending Lands of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) (See Attachment F "Future Land Use Map"). Agricultural: The purpose of the "A", Rural Agricultural District Land Use Designation is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating traditional agricultural, agricultural related activities and facilities, support facilities related to agricultural needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the agricultural, environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the County are permissible as conditional uses in the "A" District. Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD): The challenges and goals of the RFMUD are to provide transition between the Urban and Estates designated lands, and between the Urban and AgriculturallRural and Conservation designated lands. The RFMUD 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 RFMUD 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 District. While not proposed in this petition, the RFMUD allows the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) process that provides an equitable method of protecting and conserving the most valuable environmental lands, including large connected wetland systems and significant areas of habitat for listed species, while allowing property owners of such lands to recoup lost value and development potentiaL Within the RFMUD, residential density may be transferred from lands 5:\2001\080073,00.00 YUlI Mulching GMPA\OOOl CPA Appliulion\2009-S-14_Numive,doc - 1 - D\XT ^ '" ::'.t'._ .i(~~rr_,~"''l =1 Amendment to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Fillmore Recycling Collier County, FL designated as Sending Lands to lands designated as Receiving Lands on the Future Land Use Map. Residential density may not be transferred either from or into areas designated as Neutral Lands through the TDR process. Sending Lands designation are those lands that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity, and generally include significant wetland, uplands, and habitat for listed species. North Belle Meade Overlav (NBMO): The North Belle Meade area is surrounded by Golden Gate Estates to the north, east, and west and 1-75 to the south. The NBMO area is unique to the RFMUD because it is surrounded by areas that are vested for development on three sides. Because the area is largely undeveloped and includes substantial vegetated areas, the Sending Lands can and do provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including endangered and threatened species. The Overlay area are also areas the have been previously impacted by canal construction and past clearing and agricultural practices which have altered the natural hydroperiod. The challenge of the NBMO area is 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. Sendinl! Lands: Sending Lands consist ofNRPA lands and non-NRPA lands in which residential development is discouraged. Further, Sending lands are those areas that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity, and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species. Endangered and threatened species located in these areas include colonies of Red Cockaded Woodpeckers. Therefore, the protection of endangered and threatened species including the protection of habitat, are primary planning considerations in this area. Neutral Lands: Neutral Lands are neither Sending nor Receiving areas. They have been identified for limited semi-rural residential development. Available data indicates that Neutral Lands have a higher ratio of native vegetation, and thus higher habitat values than lands designated as Receiving Lands, but these values do not approach those of Sending Lands. Therefore, these lands are appropriate for limited development if such development is directed away from existing native vegetation and habitat. As set forth in the Collier County Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the GMP, Neutral lands shall preserve a minimum of 60% of the native vegetation present, not to exceed 45% ofthe total site area.

See Attachment B "Proposed Future Land Use Map" The proposed Neutral Lands designation will allow for the introduction of an additional intended use of the property which is "facilities for the collection, transfer, processing and reduction of solid waste" as described in the Neutral Lands provisions oflbe FLUE. The facility will support receiving, crushing, sorting, and storing of construction and demolition (C&D) materials as well as materials transfer; no actual recycling processing will occur on-site. Examples of such C&D materials include dry wall, wood, concrete, brick, metals, PVC pipe, screen, asphalt and other related materials. Construction and demolition waste may include packaging material and land clearing debris. No hazardous waste or materials will be accepted o05ite. The Florida Statute 403.703 defines C&D as lbe following: ",..discarded materials generally considered to be not water soluble and nonhazardous in nature, including but not limited to, steel, glass, brick, asphalt roofing material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, and lumber, from the construction or destruction of a structure as part of a construction or demolition project or from the renovation of a structure, and including rocks, soils, tree remains, trees, and other vegetative matter that normally results from land clearing or land development operations...", The proposed operations will support the recycling of waste generated from construction projects. It is estimated that C&D materials account for as much as 15% of all materials used in a construction project. Further, it is estimated that residential construction generates upwards of 7 Ibs. of waste per square foot of construction. C&D debris accounts for 33% of solid waste collected in lbe State of Florida each year anu only a small percentage, 20%, of this C&D waste is currently recycled (FDEP, 2001). Recycling C&D has become important as it is cheaper than putting C&D materials in landfills since lbe cost of using landfills has risen. A recycling facility reduces lbe likelihood that the recyclable material will end up at the landfill and conserves the space. Further, recycling reduces the impact of producing new materials. Currently, there is an existing horticulture recycling operation onsite which has been in operation since 1998. The current Conditional Use CU-2000-22, approved on June 11 th, 2002, allows for lbe disposal and recycling of horticulture waste. Horticulture recycling operations are open to the public and include receiving, sorting, crushing, storing and transfer of horticulture materials. Onsite equipment includes crushers, grinders, front end loaders, backhoes, transfer equipment and trucks. Operations occur Monday through Saturday during nonnal business hours. Two existing homes are utilized for office and storage, however they will be demolished to accommodate the facility expansion. The expansion of operations will allow for the continuation of lbe existing horticulture, as well as the proposed construction and demolition recycling operations. Further, the addition of the proposed facility will be approximately 20,000 square feet with approximately 10 additional employees. This construction and demolition recycling facility will utilize the same equipment and conduct similar operations as those which already 5:\2008\080073.00.00 YliIl Mulching GMPA\O(102 CPA ApplieIILon\2009-5-14_Narralivt doc: ~ 3 - D:tT T^~~"" '\1\IJ ,',........... cn"Sl'l.1"INc' fil>J_i'II .........l'''...s~ Amendment to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Fillmore Recycling Collier County, FL exist on site. The GMP A will provide for the future land use designation change from Sending Lands to Neutral Lands to allow for the recycling operations of C&D materials in addition to the existing mulching operation. Based on the language adopted to define the Sending Lands, compared with the disturbed nature of lands on the subject property, it is both reasonable and logical to propose the change to Neutral Lands. Further, the subject property is located adjacent to the Collier County Landfill located on White Lake Boulevard. The neighboring landfill property is greatly disturbed and could have significant impacts to surrounding properties. It should be noted that the landfill is proposed for expansion to add additional capacity over the next five to ten years. By definition, Sending Lands are "those areas that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity". Clearly, these lands do not fall under this description considering the existing improvements and operations on the site, in addition to the neighboring public operation of the landfill on adjacent lands. This request is more than appropriate given the neighboring land uses. The proposed recycling facility will maintain compatibility with surrounding land uses and promote recycling of solid waste in an area adjacent to the Collier County LandfilL Further, with respect to the TDR program of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, the existing property owner has withheld the right to generate TDR credits from the subject property, thereby removing 22.96 credits from the potential TDR pooL The current land use ,of the subject property, combined with the existing 12.0 +/- acre conservation easement, effectively eliminates the opportunity to sever TDRs for transfer. Further, as provided through the proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment to change the subject property designation to Neutral Lands, there will be no transfer of development rights into or out of the subject property. Therefore, there will be no significant effect on the development potential allowed by the existing TDR program. Compatibility with surroundinl! land uses: The subject property has direct access to Washburn A venue and White Lake Boulevard. The adjacent properties consist of permitted and conditionally permitted agricultural land uses on large parcels. The proposed expansion of recycling use on the subject property will be compatible with the existing Collier County Landfill operations located west of the subject property. The existing recycling operation provides adequate buffering provisions as set forth in the County's Land Development Code, and as was required in the prior Conditional Use and Site Development Plan approvals. Further, separation distances from surrounding properties, and the proposed location of the new C&D sorting and transfer facilities within the 28.7 +/- acre subject property will mitigate potential noise impacts from future facility operations onto neighboring properties. The current recycling facility has maintained a positive relationship with neighboring property owners and no complaints in regards to on-site operations, noise, dust, odor, or the like have been received. Preservation and open space areas will also act as a buffer between residential uses on surrounding lands adjacent to, or neighboring, the subject property.

Jl. ~""''''f Amendment to the Collier County Growth Management Plan Fillmore Recycling Collier County, FL Public Facilities and Services: With respect to Public facilities, Attachment H "Public Facilities Impact Analysis", is a spreadsheet which sets forth the impacts on public facilities under the existing and proposed scenarios. Public facilities within the area of the subject property are depicted on Attachment I "Public Facilities Exhibit". Impacts on Washburn A venue and White Lake Boulevard are addressed in Attachment J "Traffic Impact Statement" prepared by Omega Consulting Group. With respect to Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, Stormwater Drainage, Solid Waste, and Arterial & Collector Roads within the vicinity of the proj ect, the proposed Amendment will not result in any of these facilities falling below the adopted level of service established by and in accordance with the Collier County Growth Management Plan and Section 6.02.0 I of the LDC. It should be noted that while Attachment H examines the impacts of the proposed Plan amendment on public water and sewer facilities, the existing mulching operation is utilizing a well and septic system, so there are actually no impacts to those public facilities. For the reviewer's information, the SFWMD issued General Water Use Permit I 1-0264- W for industrial, irrigation and public water supply from the Water Table Aquifer using two withdrawal sources. The water use is limited to 23,458,300 gallons per year, not to exceed a maximum monthly withdrawal of 404,800 gallons. The proposed future land use change and resulting land uses will not require additional water demand. The Collier County Sheriffs Department will provide police protection/law enforcement services. There is a Sheriffs substation located on Golden Gate Parkway, which is a shared facility housing Collier County EMS. The subject property lies within the service area of the Golden Gate Fire Control and Rescue District, with Station 72 being located just east of Collier Boulevard, on the south side of Beck Boulevard, well within the 8 minute response period LOS standard. Finally, given that there will be no residential dwelling units associated with this amendment or future land use, there will be no impact to public schools or regional/community parks. Environmental, Historical & Archeological Considerations: A detailed envirorunental assessment has been prepared by Ramsey, Inc. (See Attachment G "Environmental Assessment"). Over nine years of investigations have been included in the updated assessment and associated appendices and no listed species have been observed on site. There is presence of jurisdictional wetlands on the subject property which has been dermed and permitted with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Permit No. 11-02649-P, and US Army Corps of Engineers Pennit SAJ-2007-605.

Based upon the Public Facilities Analysis, future development resulting from the proposed GMP amendment will not result in any degradation of any public facility. Extensive environmental studies and permitting have occurred on the subject property and it has been demonstrated that no listed or endangered species have been observed over a nine year investigation period. The subject property is does not have the "highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity" as would be the case with undisturbed lands. The subject property does not have the significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species as has been determined by both the SFWMD and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as is evidenced in the permits that have been issued. The environmental evidence supports the appropriateness of the proposed FLUM change to Neutral Lands, Approval of this proposed amendment will provide for the continuation of the existing recycling operations and expansion for construction and demolition recycling operations on lands adjacent to existing landfill operation for Collier County. The use is comparable and compatible with surrounding land uses and should be found to be consistent with the provisions of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District based on the immediate proximity of the public land fill facilities to the west. TDR credits are prohibited from being generated from government owned lands, and the Sending Lands provisions of the FLUE include special provisions to allow publicly operated solid waste and resource recovery facilities through the conditional use procedure. The Collier County Solid Waste Department is currently pursuing such a conditional use for their proposed Resource Recovery Park that is anticipated to be approved by the time this Petition is considered for transmittal and adoption. An argument can be supported that the special allowances for government facilities in the Sending Lands combined with the prohibition of generating TDR credits from government lands makes the County's lands in Sections 25 and 36, Township 49 South, Range 26 East less like Sending Lands and more similar to Neutral Lands. Therefore, based on the similarity of land uses with the County, the subject property should more appropriately be designated as Neutral Lands to allow similar land uses as the County's land fill and anticipated Resource Recovery Park. The reduction of available Sending Lands that would result in the adoption ofthe requested FLUM change is insignificant (28.7 acres) when compared to the County's 655;, acres in land fill and Resource Recovery Park lands that have been effectively removed from the Sending Lands designation. Therefore, the proposed adjustment to the Sending Lands to change the subject property to a Neutral Lands designation will not adversely affect the TDR program. s:uocalOaoon,oo.oo Ylhl Mul~hi"8 GMJ'A\OOOJ CPA APpli~atiOl\UOO9-S.14_Nm.li,,~.diX - 6 - D'XT.^~ 1"1..''"1 '\";""'..,... d,"I~l'l:IIN,l liII-. .&....., 'L .&. _,.~ on~ >o~ ;;!~n ..~~ ~:z COLLIER BOULEVARD (C.R. 951) N~1'Tl ~:(o g~~ . ~;.; r~ ::J~~ ~ ~ ~ ; = ~ ~~~ " ~ ~ . -; ~ -; ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ 0 '" ~ foo ~ On;;! ~ c ;';Zn ~<z >~Z ~ ~ -<in I~~ ~~~ R26 ,>~ "r~ M~ .

Owner: Fillmore LLC Folio #: 00341920409 Acres: 28.8 Location: Naples, Florida; Collier County By: Michael R. Ramsey, Ramsey Inc. Date: 01 October 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Yahl Mulching and Recycling (Yahl) Project is located on a 29 acre site on the west side of the North Belle Meade Sending Area and adjacent to the south east corner of the Collier County Landfill. Both are located north of 1-75 near the west I- 75 toll gate. The property the Yahl Project is on is owned by Fillmore LLC and the folio identification is #00341920409. The principals of the Yahl Project and Fillmore LLC are the sarne: John and Teresa Fillmore. The Yahl Project provides an essential service to both the Collier County Government Solid Waste Department and to the residents of Collier County by preventing horticultural debris from going into the Collier County Landfill and taking up valuable space. The Yahl Project "intercepts" the horticultural waste debris grinds it up and processes it into a soil compost amendment that is used in agriculture and landscaping businesses. Technically this is both a resource recovery operation and a renewable energy operation. The owners of the Yahl Project believe that their property was incorrectly classified as Sending Lands under the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) as described in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). This report examines detailed site specific information collected from the property over the last 8 years. Based on the criteria listed in the FLUE of the GMP, Sending Lands are those lands having "the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species." Collier County Community Development and Environmental Services Review (CDESR) initially classified the property based on offsite Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) extrapolated information about habitat and listed species. CDESR never visited the site to collect actual data. Site specific data collected from the property over the last 8 years and closer examination of the property indicates the Yahl ProjecVFillmore parcel does not meet that criteria listed in the GMP for Sending Lands. Additionally, the property had existing agriculture and recycling uses on it prior to implementation of the RFMUD in 2002. Collection of more accurate site specific data indicates the classification should be Neutral Lands.

Date: 01 October 2008 INTRODUCTION The Yahl Mulching and Recycling, Inc. (Yahl) operation is a 29 acre parcel located in Collier County at 2250 Washburn Ave., Naples, Florida (Figure 1 and 2) owned by Fillmore LLC. This report examines detailed site specific information collected from the property over the last 8 years to determine if the initial designation of Sending Lands was correct under the Rural Fringe Mixed User District (RFMUD) as described in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP). SITE DESCRIPTION The Yahl Project is 29 acres located approximately 2 miles east of CR 951, north of 1-75. The owner of the property the Yahl Project is located on is Fillmore LLC, folio # 00341920409. The principals of the Yahl Project and Fillmore LLC are the same: John and Teresa Fillmore. The Yahl Project takes in vegetative and horticultural debris, grinds it into mulch, and then composts the mulch into an organic soil amendment. The Yahl projects assists the Collier County Landfill operations by intercepting vegetative waste debris that would occupy valuable space in the landfill and recycles into other uses. The mulch and composted material is utilized for landscaping and agriculturai soil amendment purposes. The Yahl Project provides and essential service to the Collier County Sold Waste Department and the residents of Collier County On the west side it borders the Collier County Landfill. On the south side it borders the right-ol-way line of 1-75. On the north and east sides it borders 5 acres parcels agriculture zoned with single family residences (Figure 1). The Yahl project and the general area have been in recycling and agricultural activities since 1990, The Yahl Project was initially set up here because of its proximity to the Collier County Landfill, the remoteness, iow density and zoned for agriculture. The Collier County Landfill has been here since 1975-76. Page 2 RFMUD Re-desiQI1a1ion Evalualion of Folio 00341920409 From Sending 10 Neutral Lands GMP Amendment CP-2008-4 01 October 2008 Page 3 FLORIDA NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY - FNAI The staff of Collier County Community Development and Environmental Services Review (CDESR) indicated in numerous public meetings that the procedure for determining the classification of a piece oi land in the RFMUD was the use of the Fiorida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI). The FNAI is a classiiication system that government organizations use to predict habitat and protected species without visiting a property. FNAI attempts to predict the type of vegetation that would occur on property based on the soil type classification done in each county by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRGS). FNAI does surveys for vegetation and wildlife on properties that they are allowed to access and are done all over the state of Florida, First the vegetation is surveyed and projected as to the type of habitat it is classified as. Second, all wildlife is surveyed. Third, the vegetation and wildlife is matched to the NRCS soil type it occurred on. From this matching of habitat to soil type, listed species can also be speculated. Therefore, the Sending Land classification that the Landfill and Yahl Project was based on soil type extrapolation from the FNAI surveys. No actual site surveys or detailed site data was collected to make the determination. Problems with FNAI: 1. NRCS soil classifications have an average 25-50% error based on comparison of soii maps to actual property data. 2. Extrapolations of habitat and listed species based on NRCS soil types have an inherit 20-50% error. 3. No actual site data or surveys are conducted. When no actual site specific data is collected the error in the FNAI extrapolation is not corrected. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) have made it clear in many pUblic hearings that decisions on land ciassification should be made with the best available data. If more accurate site specific data becomes available after an initial decision is made, then the new data should re-evaluated and changes made if warranted. The information presented below describes more accurate, detailed, site specific data collected from the 29 acre Yahl Project over a period of 8 years. The more site specific data indicates that there was error in the FNAI extrapolation and the property should not have been classified as Sending Lands. The site specific data indicates the more accurate classification based on the guidelines would be Neutral Lands. OVERLAYS, HABITATS, WETLANDS,JUXTAPOSTION OVERLAYS. In reviewing the information available from Collier County the first indicator that the Yahl Project and Landfill area Is not "lands that have the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species" is that the areas were not initially classified as Natural Resource Protection Areas (NRPA's) as demonstrated in Figure 3. NRPA's as defined and described in the FLUE as follows: "The purpose of the Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) Overlay designation is to protect endangered or p01entially endangered species and to identify large connected intact and relatively unfragmented habitats, which may be important for these listed species. NRPA's may Page 3 RFMUD Re-designaHon Evalualion 01 Folio 00341920409 From Sending to Neutral Lands GMP Amendment Cp.200B,4 01 October 200B Page 4 include major wetland systems and regional flow-ways. These lands generally should be the focus of any federal, state, County or private acquisition efforts;" according to the FLUE. Since Collier County chose not to declare the area of the Landfill and the Yahl Project as part of the NRPA, then it was decided that the area . "was not" needed to protect potentially endangered species, . "was not" part of an intact and relatively unfragmented habitat area, and . "was not" Important to listed species. The reasoning behind not classifying the Landfill-Yahl Project area as a NRPA appears to be due to: . The high intensity use of the area due to the landfill. I The high amount of truck traffic to the land fiil. I The current and past agricultural use of the general area. I The proximity to the fenced Right of Way of 1-75 which effectively severs and segments: o Any movement of ground animals o Continuity of any habitat or vegetation used by ground wildlife I High infestation of exotic plants I Presence of native vegetation not significant. I Lack of any regional or significant wetland systems I Lack of any significant habitat. Overall, the Landfill- Yahl Project area does not exemplify the characteristics listed for Sending Lands, However, it does better fit the Neutral Lands definition of: "Neutral Lands have been identified for limited semi-rural residential development. Available data indicates that Neutral Lands have a higher ratio of native vegetation, and thus higher habitat values, than lands designated as Receiving Lands, but these values do not approach those of Sending Lands, Therefore, these lands are appropriate for limited development, if such development is directed away from existing native vegetation and habitat (FLUE)." HABIT ATS, WETLANDS. The FLUE states that Sending Lands will have "the highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species." Also, stated in the FLUE the intent of RFMUD designations is to "protecting and conserving the most valuable environmental lands, including large connected wetland systems and significant areas of habitat for listed species..." Figure 4 shows a compilation of Collier County habitat and wetlands data from the Rural Lands Stewardship (RLSA) program, the RFMUD, the FLUE, Dep1. of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). As shown in Figure 4 there are "no large connected wetland systems" in or around the Landfill or Yahl Project Area. JUXTAPOSITION. The Landfill and Yahl Project area are situated in a iocation such that 1he properties can not be utilized effectively by listed species, The proximity to the White Lake industrial area to the west, 1-75 to south, single family residential and agriculture to the immediate east and north effectively has isolated the Landfill and the Yahl Project Page 4 RFMUD Re-designalion Evaluation of Folio 00341920409 From Sending to Neutral lands GMP Amendment CP-200B.4 01 October 2008 PageS habitat use by wide ranging ground species, 1-75 in particular provides a long term barrier to any movement for wildlife to or from the south. PROTECTED SPECIES The Yahl Project site was surveyed and evaluated for listed species in the 2008 Spring, 2007 Fall, 2006 and 2000. In all surveys the property indicated little to no value as habitat for utilization by listed species. It is anticipated that construction of a surface water mana~ement system required by the SFWMD for horticultural recycling will improve conditions primarily for wading birds. These reports are attached in the Appendix. The conclusions of the 4 reports were that the area is utilized little to none by listed species and by general wildlife. The area in fact showed very little use except by Passerines (son~ birds). This is generally concluded to be a result of the juxtaposition of the property With the other limiting features of the area (especially 1-75) and by the human activity encountered at the landfill. Panthers- Habitat Qualitv. The Landfill and the Yahl Project is located on the western edge of what is considered by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to be classified as panther primary zone (Figures 5,6,7). During the processing of the US Army Corps 01 Engineers (USACOE) permitting for this project and the required coordination with the FWS, it was communicated to the Yahl Project that the FWS would be requiring the applicant to rnitigate for all 29 acres of the project even though a 12 acre preserve site was going to be maintained on site through Conservation Easements. According to the FWS (B. Reick, personal communicaton) the FWS considers habitat on the edge or perimeter of the primary or secondary zone to be unusable to the panther and requires mitigation for the entire site. The reasoning is that areas on the "edge" have so much activity going on around them that the panther won't use it. Therefore, the animal would be better off if mitigation assisted in putting together protected properties toward the center of the core areas. The conclusion being that the quality of the habitat is low to "zero" and that the presence of 1-75 will forever prevent utilization from the south. Figures 5, 6 and 7 indicate the utilization of Collier County property by panthers as indicated by telemetry data collected by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), This telemetry data is broken into 3 time periods Figure 51981-1996, Figure 61997-2003 and Figure 7 2004-2007. This data collected by FWC shows that the panther is not utilizing the general area of the Landfill and Yahl Project area. In fact it is showing a trend toward less and less utilization, that trend appears to be continuing today. This trend appears to validate the assertion by the FWS that the habitat on the edge of the primary zone is not usable. Red Cockaded Woodpeckers (RCW). RCW's are of particular interest in the area around the Landfill and the Yahl Project. After 4 surveys over 8 years over the entire area of the Yahl Project no nest trees were found, and no utilization of the area was observed. Generally, the Yahl Project does not have the preferred habitat type for RCW's due to a heavy exotic infestation of Brazilian Pepper and Melaleuca at the canopy and sub-canopy levels. Again this conclusion from this evaluation is that this is a low quality habitat area for wildlife with very little utilization. Black Bear. Figures 8 and 9 are telemetry data for black bear obtained from the FWC from 1983-2006. Figure 8 indicates that the pnmary utilization area is to the east of the Landfill and Yahl Project and to the south near Royal Palm Hammock on US 41. Although this is limited data it indicates that the primary areas of utilization are far to the east of the Yahl Project in the Camp Keais and Picayune Strand State Forest (PSSF). Figure 9 is nuisance Page 5 RFMUD Re-designalion Evaluation of Folio 00341920409 From Sending to Neutral Lands GMP Amendment CP.200B-4 01 October 2008 Page 6 telemetry data which also shows a trend of bear movement not in the area of the Landfill / Yahl Project area. Bald Eaale. Figure 10 indicates the closest bald eagle nest to the Yahl Project. This nest is considered somewhat unusual since it is so far inland. Most nests are closer to the coast. This nest is in the PSSF management area south of 1-75. Again the Yahl Project area is not utilized because of its proximity to 1-75 and lack of quality habitat for this animal. CONCLUSION The classification of the Yahl Project does not meet the criteria that have been listed in the FLUE for the selection of properties as Sending Lands because of the utilization of FNAI extrapolated data. The collec1ion of accurate site specific data on the Yahl Project/Fillmore site indicates: . The area has had agriculture use on it since 1990, before the implementation of the RFMUD land classifications . it was never initially considered to be a NRPA . it is not part of a regional wetland flow way system, . it is not considered to be significant habitat, . it has little to no listed species use, . it has a juxtaposition with 1-75 that will prevent it from being fully utilized as functional habitat for listed species . it is on the edge of primary panther habitat and is considered not usable by FWS Based on the site specific data collected, the most accurate land classification based on the RFMUD guidelines is Neutral.

INTRODUCTION Owner: Fillmore U.C (Yahl Mulching) County: Collier City: Naples Size: 28.8 acres Legal Descriptions: PID 00341920409 2250 Washburn A ve; the SW 'A or the SW 'A Section 31; Township 49, Range 27 The applicant Yahl Mulching has applied to the Collier Co. Government, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to expand its existing operation of mulching and recycling of vegetative malerial in Collier Co. (Figure 1). The following protected species/wildlife survey report was done 10 meet the submission requirements for each agency. This report evaluates if the above described project property is utilized by any protected species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). A protected species/wildlife evaluation for this property was conducted in 2000. 2006, 2007 and 2008, this report follows up on those 4 previous reports. METHODS First, the project properties were surveyed and a map prepared of the habitat types on site. Second, the official lists of protected species were obtained from each of the agencies (FWC & FWS). The FWC list all species classified as protected by the slate of Florida government. The FWS list all species that are classified as protected in the Slale of Florida by the United States government. Third, each species on each list was researched as to county of occurrence and'required habitat in the literature. Last, all species that were indicated as being found in Collier Co. and having a habitat type that occurred on the project properties were searched for by surveys on the project properties. RESULTS Stt. '~J D4l~.. This property was initially evaluated for the presence of protected species in 2000. Collier Co. Government Natural Resources Division concluded there was no issue with protected species on this site and issued approval to move ahead with a site development plan in the Conditional Use Permit proceedings. The area was resurveyed in 2006 for the presence of protected species for the SFWMD and USACOE. The SFWMD found no issues with protected species and issued their permit #11.02649-P on 15 March 2007. The USACOE is still evaluating their permit application at this time. The project properties were visited on: October 14, December 30 in the year 2000: and resurveyed on lhe dates: 09115,09/23,09/30, 10/05, 10/12, 11/05, 11/26, 12109 and 12/17 in 2006. In 2007 the project area was visited on 09/23-24, 09/29, 10/06. 10/20, 10/28, 11111 and 11/13. In 2008 the property was visited on 04102,04/04,04/06,04/26,05/14,05/18 and OS/25. For this 2009 survey period the property was visited on 04.1]2, 04/14 and 04116. The surveys were done in the morning (AM) 2-3 hours afler sunrise and in the evening (PM) 2-3 hours before sunset. Survey routes are shown in Figure 2. YahlMulcbing SDPA AR 7633 Spring 2009 Proleclcd Species Report 01 May 2009 Pllge2 Habitat. The Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classilication System (FLUCFCS) was utilized to produce the habitat maps for the project properties. The habitat or FLUCFCS maps are depicted in Figure 2 for the Yahl Mulching project. Table 1 below indicates the acres for each habitat type. Table 1.

This construction has effectively cut off sheet flow across the property, except for unusually high rainfall events. Impacted hydrology appears to be the cause of the pine trees being present with present in cypress transition areas in the 624 habitats. It is also the reason for the heavy melaleuca infestation in the 624 areas to be preserved. This area has been slowly drying out over time. In the site development plan the applicant will be impacting 6.37 acres of weuands at the northwest corner of the properly (adjacentlo the road, Figure 3) and preserve approximately 11.73 acres to the south of the operations area that will be rehydrated and enhanced (Figure 3). Rehydration is anticipated to greatly improve the vegetative conditions and make it more attractive to wetland wildlife. All permits for this projecl have been issued by CoJlier County Government, SFWMD and USACOE as of the writing of this report to proceed with the modification and expansion of this area for vegetative recycling and composting. StatelFederal Protected Soccies Listed. The FWC list was published in May 2008 and lists 117 itnimals as protected in the State of Florida and is attached as Appendix A. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightings, the FWC lists 51 animal species that may occur in Collier County. There are 50 species that are vertebrates and I invertebrate. The 51 species are listed in Figure 4. The FWS list is updated daily on lheir website. The May 2009 list totals 113 animal and plant 'pecies as protected in the State of Aorida and is attached as Appendix B. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightings, the FWS lists 24 species (24 animals and no plants) that may occur in Collier County. Species for Collier Co. are listed in Figure 4 also. Site Survev Results. Figure 5 indicates the cumulative total of all species observed over 6 survey events. Daily field sheets are located in Appendix C. Overall, 20 species were noted, 16 bird species, 3 mammals and 1 reptile. The most frequent bird species observed was mourning dove with 19 observations and for manunals . gray squirrel with 3 observations. The area also has received its second treatment for exotic nuisance plant removal as required by issued pennits. The habitat is much more open than in previous years.

This habitat is not present on site and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Florida panther/Puma (Pelis) concolor coryi: Habitat: Reqoires extensive bJocks of mostly forested communities. The FWC panther telemetry database form 198 I -2008 indicates no utilization of this property (Figure 6). The forested habitat panthers utilize is present onsite. No individuals or indicators were observed on the property. Planned changes in this property will have no effect on this species. However, this property is considered to be in the area of the Primary Panther Habitat Zones articulated by FWS (Figure 7). This issue is currently heing evaluated by USACOE and FWS for proposed mitigation. FWS has indicated that this area has little value to the Yahl Mulching SDPA AR 7633 Spring 2009 Protected Species Repon 01 May 2009 Page 7 panther since it is on the edge of the Primary Habitat Zone and bordered by 1-75. Proposed changes to the property are expected to have liltle to no effect on this species. Big Cypress fox squirrel/Sciurus niger avicennia: Habitat: Sandhills (high pine), pine flatwoods, and pastures and other open, ruderal habitats with scattered pines and oaks. Depends on a variety of oak trees for seasonal food and nest material. Longleaf pine cones and seeds are important foods. This habitat type is present onsite, bUI very few oak trees. No individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on lhis species. Crealion of the preserve area may encourage ulilization. FloridalWest Indian manatee/Trichechus manatus latirastris (Trichechus manatus): Habilat: Coastal walers, bays, rivers, and (occasionally) lakes. Requires warm-waler refugia such as springs or cooling effluent during cold weather. Sheltered coves are important for feeding, resting, and calving. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Florida black bearlUrsus americanus floridanl": Habitat: A wide variety of forested communities is needed lo support the varied seasonal diet of black bears. Forested wetlands are particularly important for diurnal cover. This habilat is present on site. However this area is bordered on the south by 1-75 which greatly delers access. No individuals or indices were observed on the properties. Figure 8 indicates black bear lelemetry locations form 1983-2000 as collected by the FWC. The closest bear location was 3600 feet from the property however it is south of 1-75 and excluded from the property. North of 1-75 the closette]emetry location was approximately 5900 square feet. Figure 9 indicates the locations of nuisance issues from 1980-2006 according to the FWC. Generally, there has been no telemetry or nuisance issues on or immediately around the project property. Personal communication with the Naples FWC office revealed that only 3-4 nuisance complaints for black bears had been lodged for this general area since 1991 and they were in the last 3 years. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Creation of the preserve area may encourage utilization, but is not expe<oted to. Loggerhead seaturtle/Care/la caretra: Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic waters; nest on coastal sand beaches. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Green seaturtle//Chelonia mydas: Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic waters; nesl on coastal sand beaches. This habital is Dot present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Chang", in this property will have no effect on lhis species. American crocodile//Crocodylus acutus: Habitat: Coaslal estuarine marshes, tidal swamps, and creeks along edg'" of mainland and islands. Usualiy associated with mangroves. Nests on beaches, stream banks:and levees. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Leatherback seaturtlelDennochelys coriacea: Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic waters; nest on coastal sand beaches. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Eastern indigo snake/lDrymarchon corais couperi: Habitat: Broad range of habilats, from scrub and sandhill 10 wet prairies and mangrove swamps. ]n northern part of range, oflen winters in gopher tortoise burrows in sandy uplands but forages in more hydric habitats. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the plOperty. Also, no gopher tortoise burrows were discovered. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. It is expected that the planned rehydration of this area will further discourage possible utilization. Hawksbill seaturtle//Erelmochelys imbricata: Habital: Marine coastal and oceanic waters; nest on coastal sand beaches. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Yahl Muktiing SDPA AR 7633 Spring 2009 Protccted Species Rcpon OJ May 2009 Page 8 Gopher tortoiseJGopherus polyphemus: Habitat: Typically found in dry upland habitats, including sandhills, scrub, xeric oak hammock, and dry pine flatwoods; also commonly uses disturbed habitats such as pastures, old fields, and road shoulders. Typical habitat not present onsite. No burrows or individuals observed on site. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. It is expected that the planned rehydration of this area will further discourage possible utilization Kemp's ridley seaturtle//Lepidochelys kempii: Habitat: Marine coastal and oceanic waters; nest on coastal sand beaches. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Florida tree snaiV/Uguus fascialus: Habitat: Tropical hardwood hammock (rockland hammock). This species prefers smooth-barked !rees. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properti.es. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species CONCLUSIONS The majority of habitat present on site is 624 pine, cypress, palm. This habitat type appears to be the resull of a hydrology impacts over a long period of time, which dried the area out and allowed slash pine to invade in cypress transition areas in the dry years. There was no indication of utilization of the 6.37 acres of 624 to be cleared by protected species. The approximate 11.73 acres that will be preserved and to be rehydrated has a great potential to improve the conditions of the area and increase wildlife utilization. Creation of the preservation area also insures that there will be a conneclion to the 1-75 drainage for "community flow way" to the north of this project. In addition, the preserve area will be protected by a pennanent conservation easement with tbe SFWMD. The preserve area will also be managed for restoration of a natural association of vegetalion and function. The preserve area has received 2 !realments for the removal on nuisance exotic plants and the habilal is much more open. Overall, changes in this property will have little to no effect on protected species detected. Implementation of the preserve area, enbancement and rehydration of it will increase wildlife utilization and habitat quality on the property, especially for wetland oriented species; and provide a pennanent flow way for lhe natural flow of water form the nOM. This area is not expected to have a high increase in wildlife utilization due to the proximity to I. 75. Agaln.this area would be consider extremely marginal for wildlife use because of its proximity 10 1-75.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains the state list of animals designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.00S, respectively, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), httos:/Iwww.flrules.onIDefaultasn. The state lists of plants, which are designated endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited, are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) via Chapter 5B-40, F.A.C. This list ofpJants can be obtained at htto://wwwJI-dof.oomlforest manal!ementlnlant conserve lisLhtml. The federal agencies that share the authority to list species as Endangered and Threatened are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA-NMFS) and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NOAA-NMFS is responsible for listing most marine species. The federal list of animals and plants is administered by the USFWS, and this list is published in 50 CFR 17 (animals) and 50 CFR23 (plants). Additional infonnation regarding federal listings can be located at the following websites; NOAA-NMFS - httn:/Iwww.nmfil.noaa.l!OV and USFWS - http://endllIll!ercd.fwuovlwildlife.html#Soecies. Please note that while the FWC has published a consolidated list of state and federally listed species in the past, we now only publish a list of species listed within the state of Florida. This list will be maintained and available at our agency website: htlD:/Iwww.mvfwc.oom. Lists of federally listed species can still be viewed at the USFWS and NOAA-NMFS websites mentioned above. It is our intent by providing the list in this manner that we will be able to maintain a current list that is more readily available to the public. .

Range 27 INTRODUCTION Tbe applicant Yahl Mulching has applied to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to expand its existing operation of mulching and recycling of vegetative material in Collier Co. (Figure 1). The following protected species repon was done to meet the submission requirements for each agency. This report evaluates if the above described project property is utilized by any protected species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). METHODS Information concerning locations, densities, status, listings and changes from the Florida Fish & Wildlfie Conservation Commission (FWC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) were reviewed along with other related publications. Last, on site surveys or investigations wert conducted on the proposed project site. On site surveys were conducted OClober ]4 through December 30, 2000, Surveys were conducted in the early morning hours or in the late afternoon. RESULTS Plants Beautiful oawoaw. This species was not observed on the site. This low shrub species is usually found in association with pine flatwoods. However, its distribution is limited to those areas in western Lee Co. The proposed development should have little or DO impact on this species. Small's milkDea. This species was not observed on the sileo Wunderlin (1996, 1998) listed this species as being in Collier Co, The habital requirements of solution holes in limerock would favor conditions in lower southeast Collier Co.. closer to Dade Co. The proposed project should have little \0 no impact on this species. Animals American Al1i~ator. Alligators (Alliutor mississiDDiensis) were not observed on the site. This species prefers open water year round. which does not ex'ist on the site. The proposed project should have liule to no impact on this species. Eastern IndiRO Snake. No evidence of the Eastern indigo snake (Drvrnarchon ~ couoen) was observed on the site. Habitat requirements for these species are not well known, but generally prefer high., dry we]] drained soils. In addition prey base species were limited. The pTOpOSed activity should have little or no impact on this species. GaDher Tonoise. No sightings or burrows of this species were observed on site The proposed project should have little or no impacl on this species. Protected Species Survey YahlProject OlIlSnOOJ APPENDIX A 2 Florida eanther. This species was not observed on the site or detected by indices. Ie addition FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission panther telemetry records since 1981 has never recorded a panther using this sileo The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Bil:! Cvnress fox SQuirrel. During surveys no fox squirrels (Sciurus niger avicennia) were observed. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Arctic Peremne Falcon. This species was not observed on the area. In 1998 it was reconunended by the USFWS to delist this species, due to its population numbers increasing. Since this species' breeding habitat is in the Northern US and Canada and winters in the southern US and South America, it is a seasonal migrant to Florida. ]n addition to being a seasonal migrant, it is more likely to utilize coastal areas. The proposed project should bave little to no effect on this species. Bachman's Warbler. No evidence of this species was noted on the area. In addition, no sightings of this species has been recorded since 1977 and is thought to be extinct. The proposed project should have little or no effect on this species. Bald Eule. No evidence of this species was noted 8S to its presence on the area and no documented evidence indicates any nesting activity. The prnposed activities should have linle or no effect on this species. Crested Caracara. No indications of this species were noted as to existence or utilization on the project site. This species is more dependent on open areas like wet prairies and pastures with scattered saba! palm trees. This type habitat does not exist on the area. The proposed project should have little to no effecl on this species. Even:1ades Mink. This species was Dot observed or detected on the area. The preferred habitat of marsh and open water areas do not exist on lhe project because of the hydroperiod alteratinn to the wetland. The proposed development should have little to no effect on this species. Florida Black Bear. No black bears were observed. nnr indices delected on the area. Although suitable habitat exist, it is not large enough 10 support an individual bear. Surrounding human residential activity also deters any bear utilization. The proposed development should have little to no impacts on this species. F1nrida Burrowin. Owl. This species was not observed on the area. The preferred habit.t of this species also does not exist on the site. The proposed development should have little to no effect on this species. Florida GrasshoDoer SnarTOw. This species was not observed on the sile during surveys. Available records indicate that this species is more likely to occur north of this area, from northern Hendry Co. into south central Florida. In addition, this species is more likely to utilize an area of stunted saw palmetto with sparse grasses in between clumps. This type habitat does not exist on the site. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Florida Sandhill Crane. This species was not seen on the during the surveys. However, areas typically used are wetland marshes, prairies and pasture areas. This habit8f type exist on the property. The proposed project should bave little to no effect on lhis species. Florida Scrub Jav, No indication ofmis species presence was noted during surveys. In addition. the scrub oak habitat required fnr this species, does not exist on the area. The proposed project should have little to no impact nn this species. ~. This species, nor indications of this species were observed on the area. The preferred habitat for this species has abundant emergent and submergent vegetation with adequate Pomacea oaludosa. No pomacea paludosa remains were observed while on the area. Creation of detention areas has been observed tn help provide better quality nesting and feeding babitat for this species. Little or not effects are expected for this species from the proposed development, and may benefit from detention area constrUction.. Little blue and tri-colored heron. These two herons were not observed on or utilizing the area. The altered hydroperiad of the onsite wetland does not allow water to stand for very long in the wetland. The property does have a borrow pit on the area with standing water, but it is too deep for a preferred feeding area. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Protected Species Survey YaM Project OJIll1200J APPENDIX A 3 ~. Although the osprey is listed as a species of special concern by the FWC it is applicable only to Monroe County. The proposed development should have little to no effect on this species. Red-cockaded woodoeckers. No evidence of th],s species was noted on the site. No birds were seen or heard on the area, and no evidence of nest tree..~ was observed. Some of the areas in the pine tracts did appear to be appropriate for feeding areas, but no individuals were observed or heard while on site. The proposed project should have little to no impact on this species. Round.Ta;led Muskrat. This species was not ohserved or detected on the area. The preferred hahitat of dense stands of pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata) and maidcncane (panicum hemitomon) do not exist on tbe area and no marsh habitat exists. The planned development should have little to no impact on this species. Shennan's Fox SQuirrel. This species was not observed, nor were any indications noted on the area, This species is more typically found from the mid panhandle to Tampa to Lake Okeechohee. The preferred habitat for this species is very dry pine-oak stands, which do not exist on the area. The proposed g development shoukl have little to no effect on this species. Snail Kite.. This species was not observed on the area. Pomacea naludosa also was not observed while on the area. Also, preferred habitat of sloughs and flats vegetated by sawgnss rQadium iamaiccme) and spikerushes with scaltered shrubs and tree islands do not exist on the area. The proposed development should have little to no effect on this species. Snowv Eeret. This species was not observed on the area. Since standing water is not available on the property, Snowy egrets have nn place to feed. The proposed project should have little to no impacts on this species. The propeny does have a borrow pit OD the area with standing water, but it is too deep for a preferred feeding area. The restoration of a hydroperiod to the wetland area will provide more suitable feeding habitat. Southeastern Kestrel. This species was Dot observed on the area. Preferred habitat for Southeastern Kestrels {Falco soarverius ~ requires the presence of snags and mature pine forests La provide nesting areas. These specific types of habitat association was not observed on the area. The proposed project should have little to no impact on this species. West. Indian Manatee. This species was not observed on the area, nor does suitable habitat exist. The proposed development should have little or no effect on this species Wood stork.. Wood storks were not observed flying over or utilizing the site. The property does not currently support any areas of s\8.nding shallow water that Wood storks prefer for feeding. The property does have a borrow pit on the area with standing water, but it is too deep for a preferred feeding area. The proposed project should have little to nO impact on this species. CONCLUSIONS The proposed project water management structures should have little to no effect on listed species. If the applicant is allowed to construct dikes and impound the wetland area multiple benefllS are possible. Habitat Utililed by wading bird species would be created. A hydroperiod more conducive to normal wetland functions and plant associations would be created PrOlected Species Survey Yahl Project 01llSnOOl APPENDIX A 4 REFERENCES Brown, L.N. 1978.

This species was not observed on the site or detected by indices. In addition FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission panther telemetry records since 1981 has never recorded a panther using this site, The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Bil:! Cvnress fox sQuirreL During surveys no fox squirrels (Sciwus niger avicennia) were observed. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Arctic Perel!rint. Falcon. This species was nol observed on the area. In 1998 it was reconunended by the USFWS to delist this species, due to its population numbers increasing. Since this species' breeding habitat is in the Northern US and Canada and winters in the southern US and South America, it is a seasonal migrant to Florida. In addition to being a seasonal migrant, it is more likely to utilize coastal areas. The proposed project should bave little to no effect on this species. Bachman's Warbler. No evidence of this species was noted on the area. In addition, no sightings of this species has been recorded since 1977 and is thougbtto be extincl. The proposed project should have little or no effect on this species. Bald Eule. No evidence of this species was noted as to its presence on the area and no documented evidence indicates any nesting a,clivil)'. The proposed activities should have linle or no effect on this species. Crested Caracara. No indications of this species were noted as to existence or utiliz.ation on the project site. This species is more dependent on open areas like wet prairies and pastures with scattered saba! palm trees. This type habitat does not exist on the area. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Evenlades Mink, This species was not observed or detected on the area. The preferred habitat of marsh and open water artas do not. exist on the project because of the hydroperiod alteration to the wetland. The proposed development should have little to nO effect on this species. Florida Black Bear. No black bears were observed, nor indices detected on the area. Although suitable habitat exisl, it is not large enough to support an Individual bear. Surrounding human residential activity also deters any bear utilization. The proposed development should have little to no impacts on tms species. Florida Burrowin. Owl. This species was not observed on the area. The preferred habitat of this species also does not exist on the site. The proposed development should have little to no effect on this species. Florida GrasshoDDer Soarrow. This species was nO( observed on the site during surveys. Available records indicate that this species is more likely to occur north of this area, from northern Hendry Co. into south central Florida. In addition, this species is more likely to utilize an area of stunted saw palmetto with sparse grasses in between clumps. This type habitat does not exist on the site. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Florida Sandhill Crane. This species was not seen on the during the surveys. However, areas typically used are wetland marshes, prairies and pasture areas, This habitat type exist on the propeny. The proposed project should have little to no effect on this species. Florida Scrub Jav. No indication afthis species presence was noted during surveys. In addition, the scrub oak habitat required for this species, does not exist on the area. The proposed project should have little to no impact on this species LimDkin. This species, nor indications of this species were observed on the area. The preferred habitat for this species has abundant emergent and submergent vegetation with adequate Pomacea Daludosa. No Pomacea paludosa remains were observed while on the area. Creation of detention areas has been observed to help provide better quality nesting and feeding habitat for this species. Little or not effects are expected for lhis species from the proposed development, and may benefit from detention area construction.. Little blue and tri.colored heron. These two herons were not observed on or utilizing the area. The altered hydroperiod of the onsite wetland does not aHow water to stand for very long in the wetland. The property does have a borrow pit on the area with standing water, but it is too deep for a preferred feeding area. The proposed project should have little to no effecl on this species.

Govemment, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to expand its existing operation of mulching and recycling of vegetative material in Collier Co. (Figure 1). The following protected species report was done to meet the submission requirements for each agency. This report evaluates if the above described project property is utilized by any protected Species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). A protected species evaluation for this property was conducted in 2000 this report is a updated follow up on that report. METIlODS First, the project properties were surveyed and a map prepared of the habitat types on site. Second, Ibe official lists of protected species were obtained from each of the agencies (FWC & FWS). The FWC list all species classified as protected by the state of Florida government The FWS list all species tllat are classifIed as protected in tlle stale of Florida by the United States government TIrird, each species on each list was researched as to county of occurrence and required habitat in the literature. Last, all species that were indicated as being fouod in Collier Co. and having a habitat type that occurred on the project properties were searched for by surveys on the project properties. RESULTS Survev Dates. This property was initially evaluated for the presence of protected species in 2000. Collier Co. Government Natural Resources Division concluded there was no issue with protected species on this site and issued approval to move ahead with a site development plan. The area was resurveyed in 2006 for the presence of protected species. The project properties were visited for surveys on: October 14 - December 30 in the year 2000; and resurveyed on the dates: 09/15, 09/23,09/30,10/05, 10112, 11/05, 11126, 12/09 snd 12/17 in 2006. Habitat The Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) was utilized to produce the habitat maps for the project properties. The habitat or FLUCFCS maps are depicted in Figure 2 for the Yahl Mulching project. Table I below indicates the acres for each habitat type. Table I.

Protected Species Report 12.29.2006 Pase 2 APPENDIX B The Yahl property has been impacted by road construction on the north, south and west sides of the property. This construction bas effectively cut off sheet flow across the property, except for unusually high rainfall events. Impacted hydrology appears to be the cause of the pine trees being present with present in cypress transition areas in the 624 habitats. It is also the reason for the heavy melaleuca infestation in the 624 areas to be preserved. This area has been slowly drying out over time. In the site development plan the applicant will be impacting 6.37 acres of wetlands at the northwest comer of the property (adjacent to the road, Figure 4) and preserve approximately 11.73 acres to the south of the operatioos area that will be rehydrated and enhanced (Figure 4). Rehydration is anticipated to greatly improve the vegetative conditions and make it more attractive to wetland wildlife. State/Federal Protected Soecies Listed. The FWC lists was published in June 2006 and lists 118 animals as protected in the State of Florida and is attached as Appendix A Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightings, the FWC lists 50 animal species that may occur in Collier County, 49 species are vertebrates, I is an invertebrate.

Broad, open, marine tidal flats and shorelines with little vegetation are ideal feeding areas. Also important are salt evaporation pools and lagoons, often located inside mangrove keys or just inside shoreline on mainland. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effuct on this species, Snowy egret/Egre/fa (hula: Nests both inland and in coastal wetlands with nests placed in many types of woody shrubs, especially mangroves and willows; usually over shallow walers. Ahnost all nesting is over shallow waters or on islands that are separated from shoreline by extensive open water. Feeds in many types of permanently and seasonally flooded wetlands, streams, lakes, and swamps, and in manmade impoundments and ditches. Breeding success is tied to water- level fluctuations. Preferred nesting habitat is not present onsite. There are no permanently inundated areas on site. Seasonally flooded areas are very short in duration. No individuals or nesting were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. It is planned to rehydrate approximately 12 acres of forested wetlands in the preserve area. This improvement in habitat cooditions may encourage use. Tricolored heronlEgretta tricolor. Most nesting colonies occur on mangrove islands or in willow thickets in fresh water, but nesting sites include other woody thickets on islands or over standing water. Prefers coastal environments. Feeds in a variety of permanently and seasonally flooded wetlands, mangrove swamps, tidal creeks, ditches, and edges of ponds and lakes. Preferred nesting and feeding habitat is not present onsite aod no individuals were observed on tlle properties. Changes in this property will have no effuct on this species. It is planned to rehydrate approximately 12 acres of forested wetlands in the preserve area. This improvement in habitat conditions may encourage use. White ibis/Eudocimus albus: Found in a wide variety of habitats, including freshwater and brackish marshes, salt flats and salt marsh meadows, many types of forested wetlands, wet prairies, swales, seasonally inundated fields, and man- made ditches. The forested wetland habitat is present onsite and targeted to be preserved and enhanced. No individuals or nests were observed in the property. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. It is planned to rehydrate approximately 12 acres of forested wetlands in the preserve area. This improvement in habitat conditions may encourage use. Peregrine falcon/Falco peregrinus: The Peregrine Falcon frequents open areas like marshes, fields, swamps, and tidal areas. Since its reintroduction into the eastern Uniled States, however, the Peregrine Falcon has colonized many urban areas because of increased nesting sites (and nesting ledges being created on buildings). This species is considered to be recovered and is waiting for delisting. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species. Southeastern American kestrel/Falco sparverius paulus: Found in open pine habitats, woodland edges, prairies, and pastures throughout much of Florida. Nest sites are tall dead trees or utility poles generally with an unobstructed view of surroundings. Kestrels are notlmown to Dest in Collier County. Most individuals are migrants from the north No individuals or nests were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have little to no effect on this species. Florida sandhill crane/Grus canadensis pratensis: Habitat: Prairies, freshwater marshes, and pasture lands. Avoids forests and deep marshes but uses transition zones and edges between these and prairies or pasture lands. This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species.

Changes in this property will have no effect on this species CONCLUSIONS The majority of habitat on site is 624 pine, cypress, palm. This habitat type appears to be the result of hydrology impacts over a long period of time, which dried the area out and allowed slash pine to invade in cypress transition areas in tlle dry years. There was no indication of utilization of the 6.37 acres of 624 to be cleared by protected species. The approximate 11.73 acres that will be preserved and to be rehydrated has a great potential to improve the conditions of the area and increase wildlife utilization. Creation oftlle preservation area also insures that there will be a connection to the 1-75 drainage for a "community flow way" to the north of this project In additon, the preserve area will be protected by a permanent conservation easement with the SFWMD. Overall, changes in this property will have little to no effect on protected species detected. Implementation of the preserve area, enhancement and rehydration of it will increase wildlife utilization and habitat quality on the property, especially for wetland oriented species; and provide a permanent flow way for the natural flow of water form the north.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains the state list of animals designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, respectively, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) hrtp:llfac.dos_state_fl_us/. The state lists of plants, which are designated endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited, are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) via Chapter 5B-40, F .A.C. This list of plants can be obtained at hlto:/Iwww.fl- dof.com/form manat!ement/plant conserve list_html. The federal agencies that share the authority to list species as Endangered and Threatened are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA-NMFS) and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NOAA-NMFS is responsible for listing most marine species. The federal list of animals and plants is administered by the USFWS, and this list is published in 50 CFR 17 (animals) and 50 CFR 23 (plants). Additional information regarding federal listings can be located at the following websites; NOAA-NMFS http://www.nmfs.noaa_l!.ovandUSFWS-hlto:/Iendanl!.ered.fwu:ov/wildlife.html#Species. Please note that while the FWC has published a consolidated list of state and federally listed species in the past, we now only publish a list of species listed within the state of Florida. This list will be maintained and available at our agency website: \tttp:l!www.mvfwc.com. Lists of federally listed species can still be viewed at the USFWS and NOAA-NMFS websites mentioned above. It is our intent by providing the list in this manner that we will be able to maintain a current list that is more readily available to the public. I would like to thank the following people who assisted in revising this list; Tom Logan, Jeff Gore, Paul Vincent, Paul Moler, George Wallace, Jim Rodgers, Karl Miller, Ted Hoehn, Darrell Scovell, Gray Bass, Kelly Donnelly, Elsa Haubold, Kipp Frohlich, Bill Brooks and the USFWS staff. Special appreciation is expressed to Ms. Angela T. Williams, Ms. Christine Yannett and Ms. Kat Diersen for their assistance with preparation of this document. .

Ramsey Ramsey Inc. Owner: Fillmore LLC (Yahl Mulching) County: Collier City: Naples Size: 28.8 acres Legal Descriptions: PID 00341920409 2250 Washburn Ave; the SW '" or the SW '" Section 31; Township 49, Range 27 INTRODUCTION The applicant Yahl Mulching has applied to the Collier Co. Government, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to expand ils existing operation of mulching and recycling of vegelative material in Collier Co. (Figure 1). The following protected species/wildlife survey report was done to meet the submission requirements for each agency. This report evaluates if the above described project property is utilized by any protected species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). A protected species/wildlife evaluation for this property was conducled in 2000 and 2006, this report follows up on those 2 previous reporls. METHODS First, the project properties were surveyed and a map prepared of the habitat types on site. Second, the official lists of protected species were obtained from each of the agencies (FWC & FWS). The FWC list all species classified as protected by the state of Florida government. The FWS list all species that are classified as protected in the state of Florida by the United States government. Third, each species on each list was researched as to couoty of occurrence and required habitat in the literature. Last, all species that were indicated as being found in Collier Co. and having a habitat type thai occurred on the project properties were searched for by surveys on tlle project properties. RESULTS Survev Dates. This property was initially evaluated for the presence of protected species in 2000. Collier Co. Government Natural Resources Division concluded there was no issue with protected species on this site and issued approval to move ahead with a site development plan in the Conditional Use Permit proceedings. The area was resurveyed in 2006 for the presence of protected species for the SFWMD and USACOE. The SFWMD found no issues with protected species and issued their permit #11.02649-P on 15 March 2007. The USACOE is still evaluating their permil application at this time. The project properties were visited on: October 14 - December 30 in the year 2000; and resurveyed on the dates: 09/15,09/23,09/30,10/05, 10/12, 11/05, 11/26, 12/09 and 12/17 in 2006. For this evaluation the properties were visited on 09/23-24, 09/29, 10/06, 10/20, 10/28, 11/11 and 11/13 in 2007. Surveys were done in the moming (AM) 2-3 hours after sunrise and in the evening (PM) 2-3 hours before sunset. Survey routes are shown in Figure 2. Yahl Mulching SDPA AR 7633 PAlL 2007 PCOI.ccled Species Report 30 January 2008 Pagc2 APPENDIX C Habitat. The Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) was utilized to produce the habitat maps for the projecl properties.

This construction has effectively cut off sheet flow across the property, except for unusually high rainfall events. Impacted hydrology appears to be the cause of the pine trees being present with present in cypress transition areas in the 624 habitats. It is also the reason for the heavy melaleuca infestation in the 624 areas to be preserved. This area has been slowly drying out over time. In the site development plan the applicant will be impacting 6.37 acres of wetlands at the northwest comer of the property (adjacent to the road, Figure 3) and preserve approximately 11.73 acres to the south of the operations area that will be rehydraled and enhanced (Figure 3). Rehydration is anticipated to greatly improve the vegetative conditions and make it more attractive to wetland wildlife. StatelFederal Protected Soecies Listed. The FWC list was published in November 2007 and lists 118 animals as protected in the State of Florida and is attached as Appendix A. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightillgs, the FWC lists 52 animal species that may occnrin Collier County. There are 51 species that are vertebrates and 1 invertebrate. The 52 species are listed in Figure 4. The FWS list is updated daily on their website. The January 2008 list totals J 12 anirna1and plant species as protected in the State of Florida and is attached as Appendix B. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sigbtings, the FWS lists 26 species (26 animals and no plants) thaI may occur in Collier County. Species for Collier Co. are listed in Figure 4 also. Site Survev Results. Figure 5 indicates the cumulative total of aU species observed over 10 survey events. Daily field sheets are located in Appendix C. Overall, 18 species were noted, 15 bird species and 3 nuunmals. The most frequent bird species observed was cattle egret with 85 observations and for mamma1s . gray squirrel with 8 observations. Soecies Results.

This habitat is not present onsite and nO individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species CONCLUSIONS The majority of habitat on site is 624 pine, cypress, palm. This habitat type appears to be the result of a hydrology impacts over a long period of time, which dried the area out and allowed slash pine to invade in cypress transition areas in the dry years. There was no indication of utilization of the 6.37 acres of 624 to be cleared by protected species. The approximate 11.73 acres that will be preserved and to be rehydrated has a great potential to improve the conditions of the area and increase wildlife utilization. Creation of the preservation area also insures that there will be a connection to the 1-75 drainage for "community flow way"to the north of this project. In addition,the preserve area will be protected by a permanent conservation easement with tlle SFWMD. Overall, changes in this property will have little to no effect on protected species detected. Implementation of the preserve area, enhancement and rehydration of it will increase wildlife utilization and habitat quality on the property, especially for wetland oriented species; and provide a permanent flow way for the natural flow of water form the north.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains the state list of animals designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, respectively, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) httD://fac.dos.state.fl.us/. The state lists of plants, which are designated endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited, are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) via Chapter 5B-40, F.A.C. This list of plants can be obtained at hllP://www.fl- dof.com/forest manalrementlplant conserve Iisthtml. The federal agencies that share the authority to list species as Endangered and 1ltreatened are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA-NMFS) and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NOAA-NMFS is responsible for listing most marine species. The federal list of animals and plants is administered by the USFWS, and this list is published in 50 CFR 17 (animals) and 50 CFR 23 (plants). Additional infonnation regarding federal listings can be located at the following websites; NOAA-NMFS httD:/Iwww.nmfs.noaa.lrovandUSFWS-httr>://endanl!ered.fws.l!ov/wildlife.htm1#Soecies. Please note that while the FWC has published a consolidated list of state and federally listed species in the past, we now only publish a list of species listed within the state of Florida. This list will be maintained and available at our agency website: hlltJ://www.mvfwc.com. Lists of federally listed species can still be viewed at the USFWS and NOAA-NMFS websites mentioned above. It is our intent by providing the list in this manner that we will be able to maintain a current list that is more readily available to the public. I would like to thank the following people who assisted in revising this list; Tom Logan, Jeff Gore, Paul Vincent, Paul Moler, George Wallace, Jim Rodgers, Karl Miller, Ted Hoehn, Darrell Scovell, Gray Bass, Kelly Donnelly, Elsa Haubold, Kipp Frohlich, Bill Brooks and the USFWS staff. Special appreciation is expressed to Ms. Angela T. Williams, Ms. Christine Yannell and Ms. Kat Diersen for their assistance with preparation of this document. .

Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Endangered Threatened Species of Special Concern Reasons for SSC listings prior to January 1, 2001 are indicated by the number in parenthesis under tlle following criteria: (1) has a significant vulnerability to habitat modification, environmental alteration, hurnan disturbance, or human exploitation which, in tlle foreseeable future, may result in its becoming a threatened species unless appropriate protective or management techniques are initiated or maintained; (2) may already meet certain criteria for designation as a threatened species but for which conclusive data are limited or lacking; (3) may occupy such an unusually vital or essential ecological niche that should it decline significantly in nurnbers or distribution other species would be adverscly affected to a significant degree; (4) has not sufficiently recovered from past population depletion, and (5) occurs as a population either intentionally introduced or being experimentally managed to attain specific objectives, and the species of special concern prohibitions in Rule 68A-27.002, F.A.C., shall not apply to species so designated, provided that the intentional killing, attempting to kill, possession or sale of such species is prohibited.

PROTECTED SPECIES WILDLIFE SURVEY REPORT. SPRING 2008 PROJECT: Y AHL MULCHING SDP A AR 7633 DATE: 06.15.08 BY: Michael R Ramsey Ramsey Inc. Owner: Fillmore LLC (Yahl Mulching) County: Collier City: Naples Size: 28.8 acres Legal Descriptions: PID 00341920409 2250 Washburn Ave; the SW 'A or the SW 'A Section 31; Township 49, Range 27 INTRODUCTION The applicant Yahl Mulching has applied to the Collier Co. Government, tbe South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to expand its existing operation of mulching and recycling of vegetative material in Collier Co. (Figure I). The following protected species/wildlife survey report was done to meet the submission requirements for each agency. This report evaluates if the above described project property is utilized by any protected species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). A protected species/wildlife evaluation for this property was conducted in 2000, 2006 and Fall 2007, this report follows up on those 3 previous reports. METHODS First, the project properties were surveyed and a map prepared of the habitat types on site. Second, the official lists of protected species were obtained from each of the agencies (FWC & FWS). The FWC list all species classified as protected by the state of Florida government. The FWS list all species that are classified as protected in the state of Florida by the United States government. Third, each species on each list was researched as to county of occurrence and required habitat in the literature. Last, all species that were indicated as being found in Collier Co. and having a habitat type that occurred on the project properties were searched for by surveys on the project properties. RESULTS Survev Dates. This property was initially evaluated for the presence of protected species in 2000. Collier Co. Government Natural Resources Division concluded there was no issue with protected species on this site and issued approval to move ahead with a site development plan in the Conditional Use Permit proceedings. The area was resurveyed in 2006 for the presence of protected species for tlle SFWMD and USACOE. The SFWMD found no issues with protected species and issued their permit #11 .02649-P on 15 March 2007. The USACOE is still evaluating their permit application at Ibis time. The project properties were visited on: October 14 - December 30 in the year 2000; and resurveyed on the dates: 09/15,09/23,09/30,10/05, 10/12, 11/05, 11/26, 12/09 and 12/17 in 2006. ln 2007 the project area was visited on 09/23-24, 09/29, 10/06, 10/20, 10/28, 11/11 and 1 ]/13. For this survey period Spring 2008 the property was visited on 04/02, 04/04, 04/06, 04/26, 05/14, 05/18 and OS/25. Surveys were done in the moming (AM) 2-3 hours after sunrise and in the evening (PM) 2-3 hours before sunset. Survey routes are shown in Figure 2. YablMulching SDPA AR 1633 Spring 2008 PrOlttled Species Report 15 June 2008 Page 2 APPENDIX 0 Habitat. The Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) was utilized to produce the habitat maps for the project properties. The habitat or FLUCFCS maps are depicted in Figure 2 for the Yabl Mulching project. Table I below indicates the acres for each habitat type. Table 1.

This construction has effectively cut off sheet flow across the property, except for unusually high rainfall events. Impacted hydrology appears to be the cause of the pine trees being present with present in cypress transition areas in the 624 habitats. It is also the reason for the heavy melaleuca infestation in the 624 areas to be preserved. This area has been slowly drying out over time. In the site development plan the applicant will be impacting 6.37 acres of wetlands at the northwest corner of the property (adjacent to the road, Figure 3) and preserve approximately 11.73 acres to the south of the operations area that will be rehydrated and enhanced (Figure 3). Rehydration is anticipated to greatly improve the vegetative conditions and make it more attractive to wetland wildlife. State!Federal Protected Suecies Listed. The FWC list was published in November 2007 and lists 118 anlmals as protected in the Slate of Florida and is attached as Appendix A. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightings, the FWC lists 52 animal species that may occur in Collier County. There are 51 species that are vertebrates and 1 invertebrate. The 52 species are listed in Figure 4. The FWS list is updated daily on their website. The May 2008 list totals 112 animal and plant species as protected in the State of Florida and is attached as Appendix B. Based on general habitat requirements, historic distributions and actual sightings, the FWS lists 26 species (26 animals and no plants) that may occur in Collier County. Species for Collier Co. are listed in Figure 4 also. Site Survev Results. Figure 5 indicates the cumulative total of all species observed over 10 survey events. Daily field sheets are located in Appendix C. Overall, 21 species were noted. 17 bird species, 3 mammals and 1 reptile.

This habitat is not present onsite and no individuals were observed on the properties. Changes in this property will have no effect on this species CONCLUSIONS The majority of habitat on site is 624 pine, cypress, palm. This habitat type appears to be the result of a hydrology impacts over a long period of time, which dried the area out and allowed slash pine to invade in cypress transition areas in the dry years. There was no indication of utilization of the 6.37 acres of 624 to be cleared by protected species. The approximate 11.73 acres that will be preserved and to be rehydrated has a great potential to improve the conditions of the area and increase wildlife utilization. Creation of the preservation area also insures that there will be a connection to the 1-75 drainage for "community flow way" to the north of this project. In addition, the preserve area will be protected by a permanent conservation easement with the SFWMD. The preserve area will also be managed for restoration of a natural association of vegetation and function. Overall, changes in this property will have lillle to no effect on protected species detected. Implementation of the preserve area, enhancement and rehydration of it will increase wildlife utilization and habitat quality on the property, especially for wetland nriented species; and provide a permanent flow way for the natural flow of water form the north. This area is not expected to have a high increase in wildlife utilization due to the proximity to 1-75.

Tbe purpose of this study is to provide Collier County with sufficient infonnation to assure that traffic-related impacts are anticipated and that effective mitigation measures are identified for the proposed development. The Fillmore Recycling facility is located northeast ofI-75 & Collier Boulevard interchange to the southeast of the Collier County Landfill on Washburn Avenue in Township 49, Range 27, Section 31 in Collier County. The site area is approximately 0016 acres and is currently utilized as recycling facility for yard waste. The site will have one full-movement site access onto White Lake Boulevard. Only traffic generation, distribution, AM and PM traffic assignments, significance test and roadway link analyses have been prepared for this study. For purposes of this evaluation, the Buildout Year was assumed to be consistent with the Collier County 20]4 planning horizon. CONCLUSIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS AND MITIGATION The analysis indicated that the estimated Fillmore Recycling facility site-generated trips are projected to be de minimus (less than 1%) on Collier Boulevard. All roadway segments are projected to operate within their maximum service volume (SF",,,,) or Level of Service Standard (LOS). As shown in Table 5, the levels of service for all links in the area of the project are projected to meet the level of service standards computed by the AUlR Tables for PM Peak Hour with Buildout Year Total Traffic. Therefore, no off-site improvements are projected to be required for this project. The developer proposes to pay the appropriate Collier County Road Impact Fees. R900S CPA nS-OOJ.doc PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT EXISTING LAND USE The Fillmore Recycling facility is located northeast of 1-75 & Collier Boulevard interchange to the southeast of the Collier County Landfill on Washburn Avenue in Township 49, Range 27, Section 3 I in Collier County. The site area is approximately II 6 acres and currently utilized as recycling facility for yard waste. One full-movement access onto White Lake Boulevard is proposed. AREA CONDITIONS SITE ACCESSIBILITY AREA ROAD SYSTEM The existing roadway conditions for the area of the project were used to provide the base Buildout roadway network. Exhibit 1 shows the existing roadways in the vicinity of the project. The roadway system inside the study area consists of the following arterial and major collector roads and streets: Collier Boulevard (CR 951) Collier Boulevard (CR 951) in the study area will be a north-south four and eight lane divided arterial roadway under county jurisdiction. The roadway alignment is fairly level and tangent. The speed limit is posted at 45 miles per hour (mph). White Lake Boulevard White Lake Boulevard in the study area is an east-west two-lane local roadway that tenninates at Collier Boulevard. The roadway alignment is fairly level and tangent. The speed limit is 30 mph. R9005 CPA TIS-OOl.doc 2 COMMITTED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS Roadway improvements are const11lcted to alleviate current area road deficiencies and to support future area development. For purposes of this study, a "committed" roadway improvement means that the characteristics of the higher-level facility may be used in the reserve capacity estimates. Since this is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment TIS, roadway improvements that are currently under construction or are scheduled to be constructed within the FY 2009 to FY 2011 time frame were considered to be committed improvements. These were identified in the Collier County 2008 Annual Update and Inventorv Report (AUIR) . 8.lane expansion of Collier Boulevard near 1-75 interchange and 8-1ane to 4-lane converge near the main Golden Gate canal is anticipated to be under construction in 20 I 0 TRIP GENERATION Site-generated trips were estimated using the anticipated operational characteristics of the site and the expected daily hours of operation. Approximately 500 weekly and 100 daily truck trips are estimated for the existing yard waste recycling facility entering and exiting the Fillmore Recycling site. Approximately 10% of the trips are estimated to be from private individuals with 90% coming from commercial sources. It is estimated that about 50% of site truck trips are to and from the nearby existing land fill site on White Lake Boulevard. The remaining 50% trips are projected to use Collier Boulevard directly to/from the project site. The proposed construction debris recycling facility is projected to generate an additional 150 daily truck trips. It is anticipated that the distribution between private individuals and commercial sources would be similar. The existing yard waste recycling facility operates with IS full-time employees. An additional 10 full-time employees will be required to operate the proposed construction debris recycling facility. Operating hours are anticipated to be 7AM to 5PM averaging 10 hours per day. Based on the operational characteristics, 150 daily truck trips are expected to be evenly distributed through 10 working hours. The site-generated trip estimates that were derived as follows: 1 SO trucks/day = 300 directional truck trips per day := 300 trucks/ J 0 hours = 30 directional truck trips/hour. Based on anticipated estimates of 50% in and 50% out, then 15 trucks are entering and 15 trucks are exiting the site during AM peak hour; and 15 trucks are entering and 15 trucks are exiting the site during PM peak hour. 50% of the truck traffic is anticipated to be to/from the existing County landfill, 50% of the truck traffic will access Collier Boulevard. The recycling facility will have an additional 10 R9005 CPA TIS-QOl.doc employees so at most, there would be I vehicle per employee for 10 vehicles entering in AM and exiting the site in PM peak hour. For analytical purposes, the truck component of the estimated site-generated trips was converted to passenger car equivalents (PCE's) using a truck factor multiplier of 1.7. The multiplier is based on Exhibit 20-9 from the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (see Appendix of Original Vanasse & Daylor, LLP TIS for copy of the exhihit). The site-generated trip estimate results are shown in Table 1.

Exhibit 2 shows the site-generated trip assignments for the PM Peak Hour. SIGNIFICANCE TEST According to Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) Section 6.02.02 and Collier County TIS Final Guide Dated 11-03-2006, "Significantly impacted roadways and intersections are identified based on the following criteria: a. The proposed project highest peak hour trip generation (net new total trips) based on the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic will determine the limits of the trip distribution and analysis. . Trips distributed on links directly accessed by the project where the project traffic by direction is equal to or exceeds 2% of the peak hour service volume for the adopted LOS standard. . Trips on one link adjacent to the link directly accessed by the project where the project traffic by direction is equal to or greater than 2% the peak hour service volume for the adopted LOS standard. . Trips on all subsequent links where the project traffic by direction is equal to or greater tnan 3% the peak hour service volume for the adopted LOS standard. In other words, a project will have a significant and adverse impact on a state or regionally significant roadway only if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the project will utilize 2 percent or more of the maximum peak hour service volume at the adopted level of service standard for tbe adjacent and next to adjacent link, 3 percent for the other links; and (2) the roadway is projected to operate below the adopted level of service standard. Significance was estimated according to Collier County's 2/2/3 rule, and the links were evaluated to detennine whether projected operation would be within County standards. The data resources used for this analysis are shown in the Appendix. Table 3 presents the siguificance test results. Table 3 Significance Test PM Peak Site PCT of 1ink From 12 Sfmox Trips ~......

The site-generated trip assignments were not projected to be significant on any links of the Collier County roadway network. PROJECTED BACKGROUND AND TOTAL TRAFFIC VOLUMES Background traffic volumes were developed using multiple sources. Specific Link volume data were provided by the Collier County Transportation Department. Data reviewed included the Collier County Transoortation Goerations Deoartment 2008 Traffic Count Reoort , Collier County Concurrencv SeRments Tables dated April 4,2009 and the 2008 Collier County AUIR . The Appendix contains copies ofthe applicable data used. Per methodology meeting dated April 22, 2008, proposed 4 to 8-lane improvement of Collier Boulevard near 1-75 interchange was confirmed by Collier County Transportation Staff. Maximum capacity SFmax 3515 vph for Collier Boulevard between 1-75 and Golden Gate Boulevard was used in the subsequent analysis in this report, per Collier County Transportation Staff's instruction. Table 4 presents the link-specific background traffic data with the information contained in the Collier County AUlR table for 2007.

ANALYSES CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE LINK ANALYSES Link Levels of Service were evaluated for both Background and Total Traffic conditions for this project. The SFma> for different roadway segments were provided by the Collier County Transportation Planning Department or from a similar roadway within Collier County as denoted on the 2008 AUIR Table.

Therefore, traffic volumes must be adjusted to an equivalclJt now r<lte expressed in passenger cars per hour. This o.djuslfficnl is accomplished by using the .fi'lctor fHV. Adjustmc.nt for the presence of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream applies to two Heavy.vehicle adjustment conSIders 'rucks and RVs. types of ,'chicles: trucks and RVs. Buses should not be lrented as a separate type of Buses ara included with hea....y vchicle but should be included with trucks. The hC3vy.vehicle adjustment factor trucks. requires two steps. First, the passcnger~cnr equivalency factors for trucks (~) and RVs (ER) for the prevailing operating conditions must be found. Then, using these values, an adjustment factor must be compulcd to correcl for aU he<l.vy vehicles in the trnffic slrcom. 20.7 Chapter 20 .

Rolling Terrain Roiling terrain is any combination of horizontal and vertical alignment causing heavy vehicles to reduce their speeds subst:an_tiolly below those of passenger cars. but not to operate al crawl speeds for any significant lel)gth of time or at frcquenl intervals; generally, this includes shorl-_ and medium-length grades of no more than 4 percent. Segments with substa~daJ lengths of morc than a 4 percent grade should be analyzed with the speci,fie; grade ,proc<:dure, for directional segments. Heavy- Vehicla Adjusiment Factor Once values for ET and ER have been determined. the adjustment factor for heavy vehicles is computed using Equation 20-4. 1 fHV = (20-4) I+PdEr -I)+PR(ER -I) where Pr = proportion of trucks in lhe traffic stream, expressed os a decimal; PR = proportion of RVs in the tr3ffic stream, expressed as a decimal; Chapter 20 - Two-Lane Hlghwa s 20-8 Methodology Highwav Capacity Manual 2000 Er passenger-car equivalent for trucks, obtained from Exhibit 20-9 or hhioi120-10: and ER pns!\cnger-cflT equivalent for RVs, obtained from Exhibit 20-9 or hhihi120-10. flerative Computations Exhibits 20-7lhrough 20-IO-thc grudc ildjustmcnt factor fc and the passenger-caT equivulents for trucks (ET) and RVs (ER)-arc stratitied by now rates expressed in passenger cars p~r hour. Howe.....er. unlil Equ:\Uon 20.3 is applied, the now rate in passenger CilTS per hour is not known, Therefore, an iterative appro3ch mU!il he applied to determine the pa5scngcr~car equivalent now r31c vp' and from that. either average travel speed or percent lime-spcnl-folIowing. Fi~t, determine the flow rate, in vchicles per hour, as YIPHF. Seconu, select values of fo, ET. and ER appropriate for th:\t now rate from the tables. Then. determine the "p from those vah.lc.<; using Equ:uions 20.3 and 20~4. If the computed vi.llue. of \'p is less lhnn the upper Iimitor thc sclected nOW~r3.lC r:mgc for which fe. ET. <lnd ER were dctcnnined, then the computed value. of "f> should be used. If the vp is higher than the upper limit of the selected now~ra(c rnngc, repent the process for successively higher ranges unlil an acceptahle \'alue of v fI is found. Because the highest range includes all flow r:\tcs grea!er lh::m 1,200 pc/h in both direclions of travcl combined. it can be used if a computed v:\luc exceeds lhe upper limit of hath lower flow-rule ranges. Determining Average Travel Speed The 3\'cragc travel specd is estimated from the FFS, the demand flow rate, and an adjustment factor for the percentage of no-passing zones. The demand now ram for estimating o.v~ragc travel speed is dctennincd with Equation 20.3 using thc value of fHV computcd with the passengcr~car equivalents in Exhibit 20~9. Average lra\'c\ speed is then cSlimaLcd using Equation 20-5. ATS = FFS- 0.00776vp - I,p (20-5) where ATS 'np vp = average travel speed for hoth directions of l'fl1,,'el combined (Olinl). :::; adjustmcnt for percentage of no-p3ssing zones (see Exhibit 20- t 1), ilnd = passenger-car c.qui....rilent flow rate for peak 15~min period (pclh). The FFS used in Equ:nion 20-5 is the value estimated with Equation 20-1 or EquaLion 20~2. The adjustment for the effect of thl: percentage of no-passing zones on average travel speed (fnp) is listed in Exhibil20~ t I. The exhihit shows that Ihe effect of no~p3ssing zones on average travel speed increases to a maximum at a lwo-way flow rMe of 400 pclh and then decreases al hig.her volumes. The maximum value of fop is 4.5 mi/h. Determining Percent Time.Spent-Following The percent timc.spc.ol-following is estimated from the demand now r<lie, the directional distribution of trame, nnd the percenlage of no-p3ssing zones. The demand flow rate ('-'p> for estimaling percent timc-spent-following is determined with Equation 20-) u!;ing: \hc \'tlJuc of fHV compuled with prlssenger-car equi....alents from Exhibit 20-10. Percent timc-spcnt-following is then estimated using Equation 20-6. Appropriate values of base percent time-spent-fOllowing can be determined from Equation 20.7. PTSF = BPTSF + 'dI,p (20.6) where PTSf percent timc~spent-following. 20.9 Chapter 20 - Two-Lane Highways Methodology ~~-::-~: :-:~_:_~:;~~~~-::~~:_.', ~~: _ '1-~:<,~:~-::~~D 'o'cl~:::~ ~;-,--- -f?~ ~-~~-," ':': ,; ;- ~ to - ~ ~ ~ '~t i;t 8:>- g;; ~ ; i :, Ii ~ 8 ~ '-I' I' ,'.' ~ ~ ~ ~ ~; !~ 0 ~ ~ E 1f .:: ~ - ~ jJ ~ > ~~ !;~ @fii ~~ iiI" <:: > " I , I R(',~1~~"'f " .,.

Please note that this agency reviews all large comprehensive plan amendments when they are submitted to us by the local govenunent. At that point, our comments and concerns are submitted to the Department of Conununity Affairs, and then transmitted to the local govenunent. A review of the Florida Master Site File indicates that no significant archaeological or historical sites are recorded for or considered likely to be present within the project area. Furthermore, because of the project location and/ or nature, it is considered unlikely that historic properties will be affected. Therefore, it is the opinion of this office that the proposed project wiII have no effect on historic properties listed, or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Plnces, or otherwise of historical or archaeological value. If you have any questions concerning our conunents, please do not hesitate to contact Susan Harp ai (850) 245-6333. Thank you for your interest in protecting Florida's historic resources.

Committee SPECIAL RECOGNITION: US Naval Reserve, Retired 1998-Commander Attachment P Resumes SUMMARY OF BENEFITS FROM CONSTRUCTION DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING RESPONDING TO HOUSE BILL 697 Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling (C & D) provides both environmental and economical benefits. The environmental benefits are measured by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by recycling the C & D debris instead of dumping those same materials into a C & D LandfilL C & D materials like wood and cardboard breakdown into methane, a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide. This reduction of methane gas in the landfills reduces the emission of these gasses into the atmosphere which contribute to global warming. When C & D debris such as wood, cardboard, metal and concrete are reused or recycled to make new products, less energy is required to make these new products compared to making these products from raw materials which would need to be extracted from the earth. This extraction process burns fossil fuels which is one of the main causes of global warming. The reduction of C & D debris into the landfills and diverting it to a recycling facility will also extend the life of the landfill due to the reduction of the materials placed within it each year which means less land area needed per year for landfills. With the environmental concerns and lack of large parcels for landfills available in Collier County, this is a significant benefit. An example of this greenhouse gas emission reduction is in the analysis of the construction of a 2,000 square foot home. A typical 2,000 square foot home produces 8.5 pounds per square foot of waste or 17,000 pounds of waste. The breakdown of the materials is as follows: Wood (42%), Gypsum (13%), Concrete (15%), Cardboard (6%), Metals (3%) and Other materials (21 %). By recycling 95% of the wood, cardboard, concrete and metal debris keeps 6.4 tons of waste out of the landfilL The avoided methane emissions and reduced energy consumption from recycling C & D materials from this single home is equivalent to taking 1 car off the road for a year or avoiding 5.7 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Since commercial buildings are typically larger than residential buildings, recycling of the C & D debris from these types of buildings is even a greater benefit to the environment. The economic benefits come from several areas. One of the economic benefits is the reduction of the disposal fees at C & D landfills compared to C & D recycling centers. The tipping fees for disposal at a landfill nm up to 70% higher than the tipping fees at the recycle centers. An example is a load of wood from a building demolition that is taken to the C & D landfill would cost $34 per ton. The same load taken to the recycle facility would cost $20 per ton. This is a significant savings in disposal fees. The recycled material could then be hauled to end users who need the wood to fire boilers in their facilities. Another significant savings is the use for the recycled materials. Recycled Asphalt shingles can be processed and used as a 5% by product in hot asphalt mix with a savings of $1 to $2.80 per ton of mix. Recycled concrete can be utilized as structural fill and Attachment P Summary of Benefits from Construction Demolition Debris Recycling Responding to House Bill 697 aggregate in Portland cement, with a 100% recyclable rate. The cost to grind concrete spans a range from $5 to $9 per ton. The cost to dispose of the material along with the need to extract raw material from the earth to be used in place of the recycled material could range from $10 to $20 per ton. The other factor in this case is the availability of the raw materials and the distance traveled in order to obtain it. In Collier County, this material is getting scarcer with each year. Local C & D recycling would fill a gap much needed in this area for both disposal and recycling. The benefits of C & D recycling had continued to grow over the past 20 years as the technology develops for new uses of the recycled products and the availability of disposal lands for landfills become scarcer. All indicators point towards recycling versus disposal for both economic and more importantly environmental reasons.

Due to the site's location and the small number of annual visitors, the application will have a small impact on the creation of GHG's, due in large part to the number of vehicle miles that area visitors will have to travel to the site. Miami-Dade County, however, is satisfied that this impact will largely be offset by the number of lives that are saved and the reduction of personal injuries that are averted because this Recreation Area will be open to visitors of more dense areas who would otherwise use an unsafe and illegal location. Additionally, the uses proposed in this park are for leisure and will therefore not have a daily impact which will also offset the impacts of GHG's.

DADE-COLLIER CYPRESS RECREATION AREA COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR: MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Appendix V.c.t - Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System Vegetative Classifications Field observations, in conjunction with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) coverage's, and aerial photographs dated 2004, were used to develop a map of the vegetative communities on site. The vegetative communities are based on the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS), Third Edition 1999. Nine (9) vegetative communities were identified on the proposed 0101,608 acre project site. The following vegetative descriptions list the dominant species observed in the field for the purpose of describing the individual habitats and is not a complete list of all species that occur within the project limits. FLUCCS 6170 - Mixed Wetlands Hardwood 010166 Acres This forested wetland habitat is composed of a hardwood tree community tolerant of hydric conditions in which no single species appears to achieve dominance within the canopy. The canopy is comprised oflive oak (Quercus virginiana), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), red maple (Acer rubrum), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), red bay (Persea borbonia), poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), and strangler fig (Ficus aurea). Shrub canopy contains cocoplum (Chrysobalanus icaco), myrsine (Rapanea guinensis), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) and Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana). Representative ground cover species include swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum), leather fern (Acrostichum danaeifolium), Virginia Chain Fern (Woodwardia virginica), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), saw-grass (Cladium jamaicense), and sand cordgrass (Spartina bakerii). FLUCCS 6211 - DwarfCvpress 010675 Acres This forested wetland habitat is primary habitat on the project site and is composed of a stunted pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens) tree canopy in areas with exposed cap rock and minimal marl soils. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, muhly grass (Muhlenbergia filipes), Tracy's beakrush (Rhynchospora tracyii), Everglades daisy (Helenium pinnatifidum), star rush (Dichromena colorata), marsh fleabane (Pluchea odorata), love vine (Cassytha filiformis), and bladderworts (Utricularia spp.). FLUCCS 6215 Cvpress - Domes/Heads 01027 Acres This forested wetland habitat is primarily comprised of bald cypress with scattered dahoon holly (Ilex cassine), pond cypress and cocoplum. It appears to be associated with slight depressions in the cap rock where organic soils have accumulated. Ground cover is primarily sawgrass. FLUCCS 6216 Cvpress - Mixed Hardwoods 010166 Acres This forested wetland habitat is composed of a bald cypress with scattered pond cypress, dahoon holly, cocoplum, red bay, myrsine, and wax myrtle. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, muhly grass, Tracy's beakrush, Everglades daisy, star rush, marsh fleabane, bladderworts, swamp lily (Crinum americana), and lemon bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana). FLUCCS 6310 - Wetland Scrub 01057 Acres Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area 1 of2 Appendix V.C.l Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Appendix V.c.! - Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System Vegetative Classifications This forested wetland community is dominated by dense, low-growing, woody shrubs and small trees. Tree species observed include sabal palm, willow, wax myrtle, dahoon holly, saltbush, buttonbush, and saplings of red maple, sweetbay (Magnolia virginica), and other hydric tree species indicative of wooded wetlands. Representative ground cover species include sawgrass, sand cordgrass, marsh fleabane, duck potato (Sagitaria lancifolia), and pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata). FLUCCS 641 OD - Freshwater Marsh, Disturbed c1c5 Acres These small pockets of herbaceous wetlands are dominated by herbacous emergent vegetation. This depressional wetland habitat appears in conjunction with the cleared areas surrounding the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and adjacent exposed rock with marsh grasses FLUCCS 7310 and appear to have been created when these areas were originally cleared for excavation of the borrow areas. Representative ground cover species include spikerush (Eleocharis interstincta), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), lemon bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana), and torpedo grass (Panicum repens). FLUCCS 73 I 0 - Exposed Rock with Marsh Grasses c1c46 Acres These areas occur surrounding the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and are comprised of disturbed rock soils. Representative ground cover species include knot grass (Paspalum distichum), torpedo grass (Panicum repens), common reed (Phragmites australis), common frog-fruit (Phyla nodijlora), yellow nut sedge (Cyperus esculentus), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), rust- weed (Polypremum procumbens), marsh pink (Sabatia stellaris), muhly grass, sawgrass, star rush, marsh fleabane, southern fleabane (Erigeron quercifolius), and widely scattered trees such as Brazilian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) and Australian Pine (Casuarina spp.). FLUCCS 7420 - Borrow Areas c1c51 Acres The deep cut borrow areas contain minimal littoral areas vegetated with herbaceous wetland species such as cattail (Typha spp.), sawgrass, wax myrtle, and scattered Brazilian pepper. FLUCCS 7440 - Fill Areas c1c13 Acres These areas are the filled roads leading to the borrow areas FLUCCS 7420 and contain minimal vegetation along the edges with the surrounding habitat. In areas where vegetation is present representative ground cover species include torpedo grass, common frog-fruit, marsh pink, rust- weed, yellow nut sedge, broomsedge, star rush, and various upland grasses.

NOTATIONS........................................................ 7 Appendix V.C.2a PREFACE This document consolidates the official state of Florida list of endangered species, threatened species, and species of special concern. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains the state list of animals designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, respectively, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), https://www.flrules.org/Default.asp. The state lists of plants, which are designated endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited, are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) via Chapter 5B-40, F.A.C. This list of plants can be obtained at http://www.fl-dof.comlforest management/plant conserve list.html. The federal agencies that share the authority to list species as Endangered and Threatened are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA-NMFS) and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NOAA-NMFS is responsible for listing most marine species. The federal list of animals and plants is administered by the USFWS, and this list is published in 50 CFR 17 (animals) and 50 CFR 23 (plants). Additional information regarding federal listings can be located at the following websites; NOAA-NMFS - http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov and USFWS - http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html#Species. Please note that while the FWC has published a consolidated list of state and federally listed species in the past, we now only publish a list of species listed within the state of Florida. This list will be maintained and available at our agency website: hllP://www.mvfwc.com. Lists of federally listed species can still be viewed at the USFWS and NOAA-NMFS web sites mentioned above. It is our intent by providing the list in this manner that we will be able to maintain a current list that is more readily available to the public. . Common and scientific names listed first are as they appear in the Florida Administrative Code, Title 68A. Common and/or scientific names following this and located within parentheses ( ) contain names as used by USFWS, or otber commonly used names. Bradley J. Gruver, Ph.

REQUIRED INFORMATION D. GROWTH MANAGEMENT 5.b. Yes. The proposed land use district known as the Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area District will create an increase in intensity of the subject area which is approximately 1,608 acres. This area is currently owned by Miami-Dade County and is managed by the Aviation Department. The area proposed for amendment is part of a larger parcel of land (Parcel #: 01233520000) that is known as the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport or "TNT". Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department ('the Department'). is currently developing, with State Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry funding from the T. Mark Schmidt OHV Recreation Grant Program, a plan for off- highway vehicles (OHV) to use trails on the property. This plan is part of a State initiative to address a deficiency in outdoor recreational areas suitable for safe OHV use. In particular, the State is seeking a location proximate to Miami/South Florida where such use can take place without impacting dense urban areas. To this end, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department did a comprehensive feasibility study in August of 2007 to determine the most appropriate and beneficial location considering all feasible sites within Miami- Dade County considering (14) fourteen criterion: see Appendix V.D.5b.l - Off- Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study for a copy of this study. Of the (20+) twenty plus sites considered in the study, this site was considered 'the most viable long-term option'. Collier County has similarly investigated appropriate sites located on Conservation Lands that can support the type of OHV use considered in this Application; see Appendix V.D.5b.2 - Collier County Park and Recreation Department Letter. The type of Off-highway Vehicles (OHV) to be allowed in this Recreation Area will be pursuant to the Florida State Statute, Section 261.03(6) and 261.20, Definition, "Off-highway vehicle", and includes any ATV, two-rider All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) , or Off-highway motorcycle (OHM) that is used off the roads or highways of this state and that is not registered and licensed for highway use under Chapter 320; see Appendix V.D.5b.3 - F.S. 260.03, Detinition of OHV. Florida State Statute 261.20 states that: "Operations of off-highway vehicles on public lands; restrictions; safety courses; required equipment; prohibited acts; penalties. (2) Any person operating an off-highway vehicle as permitted in this section who has not attained 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult while operating the off-highway vehicle. (4) (a) The department shall approve all off-highway vehicle public safety-education programs required by this chapter as a condition for operating on public lands." The Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department seeks to transition this subject area closer to its natural state. This includes reducing the current impact of unregulated off-highway vehicle use and eliminating sport hunting throughout Appendix V.D.5b 1 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 the subject area: see Appendix V.D.5b.4 - Existing Trails. The Department has the resources to regulate and improve the area by stabilizing certain existing trails system so that off-highway vehicles do not further destroy this area. Once this recreational area is fully managed, it can serve as a regional resource for the residents of South Florida and its visitors. The Benefits: The proposed Recreation Area Project will provide conservation and recreation area for residents of both Miami-Dade and Collier Counties, specifically, the benefits and intentions of this proposed project include: 1. Transition a portion of the TNT Jetport property back to an environmental state that enhances the existing and intact natural resources while still retaining an appropriate level of recreational use. 2. Secondarily. the transition of this property would serve as a buffer between existing uses of the runway to the north and the existing Tamiami Trail to the south. 3. Create a partnership between Miami-Dade County and Collier County Park and Recreation agencies to create additional park land for respective growing urban populations and support recreational uses not always permissible within urban environments. 4. Introduce into the area a diversity of recreational uses, all suited to the type of natural environments found on the property without compromising biological systems that are presently in place. 5. Preserve intact natural areas that support and enhance the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern/Special Treatment area and its policies. 6. Identify opportunities for mitigation and restoration of select areas of the site previously impacted by runway development. 7. Introduce adaptive resource management to promote better consistency with natural cycles such that only certain areas of the property were completely open to use and time and location closures would insure the protection of sensitive areas. The Intent and Use: The planning approach involves creating an outdoor recreation area that balances the preservation of natural resources, such as the intact cypress heads, tree islands, and wet prairies. with recreational destinations and amenities and connecting them through trails for hiking. mountain biking and riding OHVs (Off- Highway Vehicles). Due to the swampy characteristics of the site, trails are necessary to allow the public to pass near the natural attractions, such as, lakes, cypress heads, and tree islands. . Existing trails that adversely impact intact and sensitive natural areas will be removed and the area restored back to original conditions. . Existing trails located on previously disturbed filled pads, around lakes or aligned on existing swamp buggy trails that do not adversely impact natural areas, will in some cases be retained. Appendix VD.5b 2 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 . Existing trails that now interrupt sheet flow will be modified and stabilized in a manner more consistent with the topography and sheet flow of the natural area. Trails will be buffered from sensitive natural areas to allow walkers, bikers, birdwatchers, mountain bikers, and OHV riders a view without degrading the natural resources. This will also involve buffering trail use between OHV and non- OHV users by limiting the intersection in which the two trail types intersect and distancing OHV trails from non-OHV trails where possible. The proposed archery range will not be a fully cleared range A release to target type of archery combined with trailed will be employed which will have only selective clearing and minimal impact on the natural environs. These will be 'trued' during the final design to minimize impacts. Further details in the types of buffering will be determined in the parks management program established during the site planning process. The proposed area is 1,608 acres and will allow for designated trails throughout the subject area. A Visitor's Center building, approximately 2,200-2,400 square feet. is planned which will include an administrative area (small office room), orientation/education area, restrooms, electrical and a small meeting room [with media capability for training/orientation purposes). The parking for the facility may include a hard surface or paved with enough space for 80 cars and trucks with trailers; see Appendix V.D.5b.5- Conceptual Plan.

At present, the site is generally not open to the public, except for gladesmen who operate unpermitted legacy campsites within the property, OHV riders who trespass on the property and permitted Eco- Adventure tours operated by the Miami-Dade Park and Recreation Department. 2. Seasonal and location closures will limit the time and type of public visitations to the proposed Recreation Area. 3. The maximum annual uses for OHV visitation will be limited by the number of users and the frequency of their use via a permit system, not unlike what the National Park Service uses for the Big Cypress National Preserve.

Except for Aviation and Native American tribal uses, many of the proposed uses already take place on adjacent lands. ~ Campina. Legacy camping from hunters and "Gladesmen" occurs throughout the area. It takes the form of primitive camp areas and formal developed mobile homes campsites. All date back to the 1950's, prior to land use regulations and permitting. There are similar camp areas throughout the area, on both the National Park Service (NPS), and Tribal areas. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of camping activities. ~ Fishina. There are five lakes on the subject site and even more in the surrounding NPS, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Tribal and private areas. All were created as borrow pits during the construction of the Jetport. At present, the lakes on the subject site are minimally managed and used. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of fishing activities. ~ Hikina, bicvclina and wildlife viewina. Hiking, bicycling and wildlife viewing within the subject site and on adjacent land is very minimal. It is largely confined to occasional Eco-Adventure tours sponsored by the Miami-Dade Park and Recreation Department and involving local Appendix V.D.5b 4 of 14 Revised 7.1 0.09 residents only. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of hiking. bicycling or wildlife viewing activities. >- OHV. OHV use is currently authorized on adjacent NPS and Miami- Dade County lands. At present, Big Cypress National Preserve authorizes approximately 2,000 OHV permits to access and use NPS property. No counts of annual visitation are provided by staff, but prior year projections indicate that total annual user occasions exceed 20,000 during times the Preserve is open, on the over 400 miles of designated roads and trails plus accessible waterways (2009 Big Cypress National Preserve, Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan, Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement). Additionally, the County permits an unregulated number of OHV to access the property year round for hunting and legacy camp purposes, with the majority occurring off the subject site. No quantitative number of vehicles is known since there is no requirement for permitting or inspection. Proposed use of the subject site will limit OHV use to ATV and motocross vehicles, thereby reducing the length of trails, areas of impact and types of vehicles that now access the property. Although there is an expected increase in the numbers of vehicles to the subject site, an adaptive Management Program and the stabilization of trails will reduce overall adverse impacts and serve to improve the overall resource values of the property. It is further expected that the numbers of Miami-Dade and Collier County accidents, deaths, wildfires and resource damage caused by unrestricted use in these areas will also be reduced. Moreover, since the Management Program will be developed in coordination with Big Cypress National Preserve, it may serve to reduce some of the present use on their lands since this property under consideration shares an entry access road with the adjacent Park use. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of OHV activities. >- Archery. Archery in the form of permitted hunting already takes place on this and surrounding lands. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of archery range activities. >- Other Conservation Uses. Other conservation uses in the form of photography, scientific studies and game population management by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), already take place on this site and surrounding areas. No adverse impacts on surrounding lands are expected by an increase of other conservation uses. The subject site will operate on a seasonal basis, effectively closing or limiting operation during peak wet season and during the peak dry season. This will take place to eliminate access to sensitive areas, limit adverse impacts to fragile soils or limit the advent of wildfires. The anticipated annual visitation for each activity is note in Table 1 A above. The peak usage seasonally is noted in Table Ie below: Appendix V.D.5b 5 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Table lC - Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Proiected Fre uencv of Use IAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AVa SPT OCT NOV DEC Projected Peak X X X X X X Attendance Season Projected Low X X X X Attendance Season Projected Lowest X X Attendance Season (Largely Closed) .

This effort will be addressed in the management plan during the site planning process. Every effort will be made to appropriately locate trails such that resources are protected and visitor's experiences are not diminished. Where trails are close or intersect, OHV riders will be required to maintain slow speeds that will reduce noise and collisions. For much of the site, however, an appropriate separation will be used to establish the trail system using best management practices available from publications. The Department will be guided by national best management practices as established in "Management Guidelines for OHV Recreation" and "Park Guidelines for OHVs" both from the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC)". Appendix V.D.5b 6 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Currently, the proposed improvements and associated impacts are illustrated on a conceptual diagram that is intended for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a final site plan. A comprehensive analysis during site plan development will also consider criteria associated with the intended experience of the visitor to provide recreational OHV users with access and to avoid or minimize visual impacts, safety ha20rds, and conflicts with other types of visitors to the recreation area. A site specific analysis utilizing geographic information system technologies and ground-truthing will be used to refine the environmentally suitable locations for on site improvements and appropriate routing for trails based upon existing trails and direct development to areas of suitable substrate and maximize use of existing disturbed areas. Subsequent to the Growth Management Plan Amendment, [GMPAj, and prior to any development of the site, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department will complete an environmental analysis as part of an area management plan along with a detailed parks plan. These plans will offer the opportunity for both Miami-Dade and Collier Counties to partner with State and Federal agencies to create and implement a comprehensive management plan that will be a benefit for the natural environs, users and the public. The proposed Resource Management Plan will include: 1. Enhance and improve intact natural resources by providing site planning and resource management that governs use in manner that protects water, soil, vegetation and wildlife resources. 2. Manage and balance recreational uses to eliminate trespassing on the property, unregulated access and camping, eliminate hunting within the site and establish appropriate locations and carrying capacities for all uses. 3. Create a visitor experience that allows exploration and understanding of the scenic and recreational value of the site without compromising resource or public safety. 4. The County will work to prepare a Management Plan that establishes policies and practices that are complimentary and supportive of the Big Cypress National Park [BCNP) Management Plan and the Off-Road Vehicle [ORV) Management Plan. 5. Institute management practices that improve certain areas (lakes) to improve their biological diversity and improve the trail system by closing, relocating and stabilizing certain trails to reduce the number of trails, avoid sensitive areas and reduce access points. Supporting Documents, pursuant to 9J-l1.006 Submittal Requirements for Proposed Local Government Comprehensive Plan Amendments, F.A.C.: See Appendices V .8, 1 - Existing - Future Land Use Map (FLUM), IV,D, 1 Future Land Use Map (FLUM), V,D,5b.4 - Existing Trails, V.A.l - Location Map. Supportina Data and Analysis: Pursuant to 9J-11.007 Data and Analysis Requirements for proposed Local Government Comprehensive Plan Amendments: The proposed future land use Appendix V.D.5b 7 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 designation is based on the increasing demand trom the citizens of Miami-Dade and Collier Counties for additional recreational uses. The Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department has received multiple requests from citi2ens and local community organizations for outdoor recreational uses that includes fishing. archery, bird watching, mountain biking, hiking, camping and off- highway vehicle use. This is an excellent opportunity for Miami-Dade County to provide its citizens with these types of uses that the State has already demonstrated and reported to be deficient within the region; see Appendix V.D.5b.6 - SCORP. The State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan [SCORP). as provided by the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks, clearly shows a lack of motorized trails in the South Florida region. The subject area for the proposed amendment is within Collier County; however, it is adjacent to the Miami-Dade County boundaries and offers an opportunity to serve the residents of both jurisdictions due to its strategic location. There are approximately 54,000 OHV's registered within 100 miles of the subject area. The following website, htto://www.floridaohv.ora/ohvlocations.html. provides the location for OHV activity sites. According to this site, the Big Cypress National Preserve is the only public site in the South Florida area that provides an opportunity for OHV's. Due to the continuing demand from citizens in and around the area, an additional area for OHV's other than the Big Cypress Preserve is necessary. This demand is demonstrated as such through emails and phone calls as provided in Appendix V.D.5b.7 - Public Inquiries. It should also be noted that both Lee and Hendry Counties were awarded the T. Mark Schmidt OHV Grant Program funding, yet were unable to complete the siting process. This also indicates that adjacent counties have been looking to fulfill the additional demand for this type of activity; Appendix V.D.5b.8 - Lee County Agenda Request Form. The Need: Over the years, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department has received numerous inquiries (approximately three to five phone calls a month) from citizens and organizations requesting a place for such uses described in the proposed amendment. In addition, there have been frequent OHV rallies, e- mails, and other forms of public demand for OHV areas which are received by Miami-Dade County. Documentation supporting this need is included in Appendix V.D.5b.7 - Public Inquiries. Several OHV groups exist in Miami, and have large groups of riders to support this need. This has resulted in the Miami- Dade County Park and Recreation Department pursuing suitable and cost effective County owned sites for these uses. In further support for the increasing demand; see Appendix V.D.5b.9 - OHV Titled in Miami-Dade County for a map representing the location of OHV Titled for 2002 - 2006 and Appendix V.D.5b.l0 - OHV Titled in Collier County for those in Collier County. Miami-Dade County has a total of 12,842 titled OHV's from 2002 to 2006 and has the second highest number of titles in Florida. Collier County has 5,560 titled OHV's. Of the surrounding counties, Broward County has 12,543 titled OHV's from 2002-2008 which is the third highest in the State. Palm Beach has 11.464 titled OHV's which is the fourth highest in the State, and Lee County has Appendix V.D.5b 8 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 9,100 titled OHV's; see Appendix V,D.5b,1l - Florida OHV County Title Activity, 6/30/02 to 12/31/08. The Appendix depicting OHV's titled for 2002 - 2006 Map, provides a graphic representation of the numerous OHV owners and potential park users in Miami-Dade County, as well as the number of title transactions in the adjacent counties, further demonstrating the need for the proposed request. To date, the subject area for the proposed amendment is the most cost feasible location to provide its citizens a recreational area for this type of use. This project will bring a level of resource management and enforce and protect visitor and facility security. Support from the public, including a list of active OHV organizations that create a demand for the proposed comprehensive plan amendment is noted below and documentation of these organizations and others can be found in Appendix V.D.5b.12 - OHV Organizations and Clubs. o AtvMiamiExtreme.com Enthusiast Group [Cary Hernandez, Javier Ortega, Leo Lopez) o ATVFlorida.com Enthusiast Group (Jose Camps - Miami, Dennis Bolanos - Naples) o ATV Safety Instructor [certified through the ATV Safety Institute) - Brooke Lynch o M.E. Thompson Park Motocross Area, Steve Griff - Vendor, Manager o Family Riders Motorcycle Club of Perrine (Shakum) o Florida Trail Riders (Gustavo Medina - Miami group) o Thehumponline.com Enthusiast Group (Brooke Lynch, Marc Lane, Amy Collins, Robert Cote) o Southeast Trail Riders Additionally, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department 011- Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study [Appendix V.D.5b.1) addresses a feasible location as well as also establishing 'The Need'. While this study emphasizes the need in Miami-Dade County, it is important to note that the subject site, while in Collier County, borders Miami-Dade and 'The Need' for the residents of Collier County is attested to by the number of reported titled vehicles, [Appendix V.D.5b.10). Further, the proposed park and use for the residents of each respective county has also been supported by the recently signed resolutions by both the Miami-Dade and Collier County Commissions, Appendix V.D.5b.13 - Miami-Dade Resolution and Appendix V.D.5b.14. Collier County Resolution. SUDDort: In addition to the Joint Resolutions (Appendix V.D.5b.13 and V.D.5b.14) in support of the need and partnership between both Counties, there is widespread support for the proposed amendment beyond the user interest groups, as typified in the letters of support received from a variety of people and organizations including: The Everglades Coordinating Council; Miami-Dade County's Aviation Department (MDAD); Commissioner Jose Dia2, Vice Chairman of the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, the Collier County Manager; and the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council; see Appendix Appendix VD.5b 9 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 V.D.5b.15 - Letters of Support, as well as Appendix V.D.5b.2 - Collier County Park and Recreation Department Letter. In addition, Miami-Dade County is within the State Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) Region 4 geographical area, which was identified by the State OHV Advisory Committee as the highest need area for OHV trails and safety training areas. Consistency and Comoatibility with the Comorehensive Plan: As part of the supporting data and analysis, the applicant is submitting the below objectives and policies from the Collier County Comprehensive Plan. These objectives and policies support the proposed DADE-COLLIER CYPRESS RECREATION AREA DISTRICT and indicate a consistency with the proposed amendment. Future Land Use Element: Conservation Designation - The overall purpose of fhe Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreation and economic benefits. All native habitats possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier islands, coastal bays, we tfands, and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. The Conservation Designation is intended to protect certain vital natural resource areas of the County, which are primarily owned by the public, although private in-holdings and privately owned conservation areas do exist. This Designation includes such areas as Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier-Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Recreation Area, and the National Audubon Society's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (privately owned). The boundaries of the Conservation Designation may periodically change as properties are acquired by public entities or private land management or conservation groups. Anticipated impacts on surrounding land uses are anticipated to be minimal. This project emphasizes protection of natural resources in a manner that would leave the resources unimpaired for future users, while allowing public access for resource-related recreational opportunities. Habitat will largely remain in its current state with minimal impacts. Habitat degradation typically associated with urbanization, residential development, road construction, and conversion to agriculture are not proposed with this project. It is the intent of the applicant to fully cooperate with the local. State, and Federal agencies with jurisdiction over Appendix VD.5b 10 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 the proposed activities to improve the public facilities in a manner that complements and further enhances the natural resources of the site. Policy 3. J (b): The [Land Development Code] (LOC) contains proVISIOns that protect environmentally sensitive lands and provide for the retention of open space. This has been accomplished; through the implementation of various zoning districts and zoning overlays that restrict higher intensity land uses in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District and, which require specific land development standards for the remaining allowable land uses; through the adoption of permanent Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) Overlays; integration of State of Florida Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern regulations into the LOC and, in part, through implementation of the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay. This has also been accomplished through the implementation of regulations such as minimum open space requirements, native vegetation preservation requirements, and/or through the creation of incentives that encourage the use of creative land use planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County's Agricultural/Rural Designated Area. As stated in the above analysis of this Appendix, the proposed recreation area will conform to Policy 3.1 [b) by maintaining and enhancing the conservation lands within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. No more than 10% of disturbance to the total site area is anticipated. In addition, capital funds that are acquired through the recreational use of this property may be utilized to further enhance other previously disturbed areas of the site which are planned to be utilized as passive recreation areas. By appropriately managing this recreational use and improving previously disturbed areas to a more natural state will allow the property to maintain compatibility with the Conservation Future Land Use designation. The final location of uses will be 'trued' in the field and a management plan will be drafted during the rezoning and/or site plan approval process to ensure this compatibility. Recreation and Open Space Element: Policy 1.4.2: Collier County shall continue to coordinate the provision of recreational facilities and activities with other governmental jurisdictions that own or operate such facilities and activities within, or adjacent to, Collier County. Said governmental entities shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: U.S. Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Park Service The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Forestry Lee County, Florida Hendry County, Florida Broward County, Florida Appendix VD.5b 11 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Miami-Dade County, Florida Monroe County, Florida The South Florida Water Management District, Big Cypress Basin Board The Collier County School Board The City of Naples, Florida The City of Marco Island, Florida Everglades City, Florida The City of Bonita Springs, Florida Policy 1.4.2 supports the partnership between Collier and Miami-Dade Counties. Due to the location of the subject site, the proposed recreational facility has the opportunity to be utilized by residents of both jurisdictions, as well as those in neighboring Broward County. Further reinforcement of this policy as it pertains to the proposed amendment is indicated through the Resolution directing the Miami-Dade County Mayor to negotiate an Interlocal Agreement with Collier County for the joint development and operation of the subject site, Appendix V.D.5b.13, and likewise, by the Resolution recently passed by Collier County, Appendix V.D.5b.14. Recreafion and Open Space Elemenf Level-aI-Service: Policy 1.1.': Collier County hereby adopts the following level of service standards for facilities and land owned by the County or available to the general public: Level of Service Standard: A. 1.2882 acres of community park land/I ,000 population (unincorporated) B. 2.9412 acres of regional park land/I ,000 population Policy 1.1.1 establishes the level-of-service standard for Collier County's Recreation and Open Space. The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Element will further enhance the recreational level-of-service standard to provide an additional 1608 acres of recreational land for Collier County's citizens. Recreafion and Open Space Elemenf Level-ol-Service: Policy 1.1.6: The County shall continue to establish and implement a program with appropriate criteria to designate or acquire open space areas and natural reservations. Policy 1.1.6 establishes a program to acquire open space and natural reservations. The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Element will further increase the land area within Collier County designated as these types of areas for Collier County's citizens. Appendix V.D.5b 12 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 Economic Element: OBJECTIVE I (The Conservation and Enhancement of Natural. Cultural and Social Resources): Collier County will encourage the conservation and enhancement of those natural. cultural. and social resources that represent the foundation of the County's existing retirement, recreation. and tourist-oriented economy, in order to place the County in a competitive position to enable the retention and expansion of these and other business opportunities. Policy 1.1: Collier County will encourage the development of diverse cultural facilities through public. private. or public/private partnerships that meet the needs of the residents and visitors of the County. Objective 1 and Policy 1.1 promote the proposed use of a recreational facility and tourist-oriented economy (RV parking and natural recreation area) as well as the development of diverse cultural facilities. The OHV activity is a cultural activity that has wide popularity in South Florida as indicated by the number of potential registered OHV titles. Additionally. the proposed development will comply with the demands of the ridership in the areas as established in Appendix V.D.5b.9 and Appendix V.D.5b.l0. A parks management system will have the capability to secure passive recreational areas by utilizing fees generated by OHV permits. OBJECTIVE 4 (Nonprofit and Civic Organizations and Local Groups/Programs): Collier County will support the economic development goals. efforts and community involvement of nonprofit organizations. civic associations and local groups and programs. The proposed amendment promotes Objective 4 by providing a recreational use facility for the OHV organizations; see Appendix V.D.5b.12 for a listing ot these organizations and clubs. Conservation and Coastal Management Element: GOAL I: The County shall continue to plan for the protection, conservation. management and appropriate use of its natural resources. OBJECTIVE 1.1: Collier County will continue to develop and implement a comprehensive environmental management and conservation program. which will ensure that the natural resources. including State and Federally listed animal species. of Collier County are properly, appropriately. and effectively identified. managed, and protected. The proposed amendment will contorm to, and further enhance the Conservation and Coastal Management Element's Goal and Objective by maintaining the sites conservational use in an effort to promote an outdoor recreation area tor Collier County and South Florida residents. The site is currently disturbed by unmanaged and unrestricted use of the property due to OHV's. Appendix VD.5b 13 of 14 Revised 7.10.09 This is evident from the Existing Trails Map of the site provided in Appendix V.D.5b.4 - Existing Trails which indicates disturbed trail areas throughout the site. Should the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department be permitted to establish a parks and area management plan system for this site, it will be possible to protect further resources from being disturbed after improvements to the site have been made. A parks management system will have the capability to secure passive recreational areas by utilizing fees generated by OHV permits. Additionally, the disturbed trail area, already existing, is approximately 22 miles while the proposed OHV trail area will be approximately 12 miles. This is a reduction to the current disturbance and will bring those areas back into the fold of conservation management. The proposed OHV trail area and uses will be significantly reduced, including a sizable reduction in the number of existing trails; see Table 1-A above for existing and proposed use data and Table 1-8 for the trails data. The primary goal of the Collier County Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) is to ensure that the natural resources, including State and Federally listed animal species, are properly, appropriately, and effectively identified, managed, and protected. In addition, the CCME protects native vegetative communities and discourages the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred by the Florida panther or other listed species by directing intensive land uses to currently disturbed areas and directing incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. This project emphasi2es protection of natural resources in a manner that would leave the resources unimpaired for future users, while allowing regulated public access for resource-related recreational opportunities. Habitat will largely remain in its current state with minimal impacts. The focus is to establish activities in existing disturbed areas and utilize existing trails where appropriate. Habitat degradation typically associated with urbanization, residential development, road construction, conversion to agriculture, mining and mineral exploration is not proposed with this project. It is the intent of the applicant to fully cooperate with the local, State, and Federal agencies with jurisdiction over the proposed activities to improve the public facilities in a manner that complements the natural resources of the site. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Florida Panther Recovery Plan and the South Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan both recommend similar actions that must take place for successful management and recovery of listed species. This project furthers those actions by maintaining listed species habitat in south Florida (development will be concentrated on existing impacted areas and trails and uses with an overall footprint of new impacts which is anticipated to be a small percentage, less then 10 percent of the site). In addition, public awareness and education regarding onsite listed species conservation and recovery will be furthered through site specific learning opportunities via educational signage along the trails and a visitor's center.

According to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), over 25,000 off-highway vehicles (OHV) have been regis- tered in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties since October 2002. At the same time, locations for lawful OHV riding have not been available to meet the increasing demand in the region. This has prompted the Florida Division of Forestry (DO F) to target South Florida as a critical area for development of new OHV recreation facilities. Miami-Dade County also recognized a need to provide safe, convenient facilities to address conflicts resulting from unregu- lated OHV riding. In April 2006, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department (MDCPRD) applied for and was awarded a grant by the DOF to conduct this Off-Highway Vehicles Trail Feasibility Study. The study is founded on four premises: #1) OHV riding is a legitimate, family-oriented recreational activity that enjoys increasing popularity among South Florida residents; #2) facilities for legal OHV riding do not currently exist within Miami- Dade County; #3) the mission of the MDCPRD is to provide for the recreational needs of County residents and visitors; and #4) the needs of OHV enthusiasts for such facilities should be balanced with the need to protect natural resources and to use County lands in a responsible manner. The goal of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study is to identify one or more sites within Miami-Dade County that could be trans- formed into an OHV recreational facility. The scope of the study encompasses a County-wide site search and site analysis to identify sites that are both suitable for use as OHV recreation areas, and available for sale, lease, or use agreement. The MDCPRD will use the conclusions and recommendations in this report to determine an appropriate course of action, leading to the acquisition, design, and construction of one or more OHV trail facilities within the County. ~ This study consisted of a series of steps, including GIS-based analysis in the initial stages to identify a range of potential sites, and extensive interaction with OHV enthusiasts and governmental agencies throughout the process. In all, eight meet- ings were held with stakeholder groups, both separately and jointly, to solicit input and to review and corroborate informa- tion. Further, the criteria for the determination of site feasibility were established based on input received from these groups, as well as on the expertise of the County's consultant team for this project. ') 15 Appendix VD.5b.1 Based on the findings and outcomes of this process, this study recommends additional investigation of five sites. Land surrounding the Dade-Collier County Training and Transition Airport (or TNT Airport) stands out as the most viable long-term option. While it is not immediately available, this location has the best overall collection of desired site characteristics: large acreage under single public ownership; ready road access; potentially available for lease or agreement; already vegetated; and distant from residential neighborhoods. TNT Airport will require extensive permitting and coordination with several agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department. Two other sites offer potential opportunities for permanent OHV facilities. These sites are identified in this report as the Lands East of the Homestead Speedway and the Florida Rock and Sand (FRS) Holdings, both located in south Miami-Dade County. Because of these sites' recent inclusion in the study, their recommendations are contingent upon additional due diligence, including contacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. They have many of the same desirable characteristics as the preceding site-they are large relative to other sites available in Miami- Dade County, appealing to users, distant from incompatible uses, etc.-and have fewer environmental constraints. They are less appealing overall because of their ownership composition. Both are privately held and in the case of the East of Speedway lands, ownership is highly fragmented. The anticipated cost and coordination required to assemble a large enough site for an OHV facility may make these sites ultimately unfeasible. Because these sites emerged as possible candidates later in the study process, some investigation remains to be done, including mak- ing contact with the property owners to determine if they are willing sellers. The last two sites being recommended for further action are Countyline Motocross Park and the former Opa-Iocka West Airport. Both are considered "near term," although the connotation of that phrase differs for each site. Coun- tyline Motocross Park is an existing site with immediate availability. A private vendor has operated a motocross practice track on the site since negotiating a short-term lease with the County. While that agreement expired at the end of May 2007, the vendor will continue on a month-to-month basis until the MDCPRD issues a Request for Proposal and selects a vendor to commit to a five-year contract. This report recommends that MDCPRD continue this process in order to facilitate a more permanent situation. The former Opa-Iocka West Airport site is a near term solution in the sense that the need for action is immediate and the site's availability period brief. The County Avia- tion Department recently announced plans to sell 90 percent of the property to a private mining company by the end of 2008. Unless the deal unexpectedly falls through, this will leave a very short and near-term-only solution, the immediacy of which could be additionally burdened by a nine-month to one-year wetlands fill permit process. This study recommends simultaneously pursuing two or more of the above-referenced sites to adequately serve the needs, preferences, and geographical dispersion of present and future OHV enthusiasts. Given the current dearth of facilities in the County, it is advisable to carry forward to immediately secure at least one near-term opportunity, while further investigating the prospects of leasing, acquiring, or entering into a interagency use agreement for at least one of the long-term sites. To this end, we recommend that the MDCPRD apply, at the earliest opportunity, for implementation funds (acquisition, design, and/or construction). Possible funding sources include the T Mark ,/ Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle grant program, the Department of Environmental Protection's Greenways and Trails i, , grant program, as well as Miami-Dade County funds. 16 ~~"",v,,,~~,Y''-'~'''',__'''' - ,--_..,,~".. .

INTRODUCTION The goal of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study is to identify one or more sites within Miami-Dade County that could be transformed into an OHV recreational facility. The scope of the study encom- passes a County-wide site search and site analysis to identify sites that are both suitable for use as OHV recreation areas, and avail- able for sale, lease, or use agreement. The MDCPRD will use the conclusions and recommendations in this report to determine an appropriate course of action, hopefully leading to the acquisition, design, and construction of one or more OHV trail facilities within the County. The feasibility study is based on four central premises: OHV riding is a legitimate, family-oriented recreational activity that enjoys increasing popularity among South Florida resi- dents facilities for legal OHV riding do not currently exist within Mi- ami-Dade County the mission of the Park and Recreation Department is to pro- vide for the recreational needs of County residents and visi- tors the needs of OHV enthusiasts for such facilities should to be balanced with the need to protect natural resources and use County lands in a responsible manner. The popularity of off-highway motorized recreation in South Flor- ida has surged significantly over the past decade. According to the Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, over 25,000 OHVs have been registered in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Mon- roe Counties since October 2002. At the same time, locations for lawful OHV riding have not been available during this period to meet the increasing user demand in the region. This prompted the Florida DOF to target South Florida as a critical area for de- velopment of new OHV facilities. Appendix V.D.5b.1 Miami-Dade County also recognized a need to provide safe, convenient facilities to address conflicts resulting from un- regulated OHV riding. In determining the immediate need for action, the MDCPRD took into account the consequences of not providing a park for local OHV users. Over time, recurrent, unauthorized riding in ecologically sensitive areas-as evidenced by aerial photography of wetland areas in west and south Miami-Dade County-can cause heavy damage that -; is costly to mitigate. In addition, OHV trespass creates conflicts between riders and property owners, as well as conflicts with adjacent uses. The County's Agricultural Patrol Unit reports an increase in complaints coming from residential ar- eas, farmers, and agencies responsible for environmental mitigation and protection efforts. .9 RECOMMENDED SITES Long Term LAND SURROUNDING TNT AIRPORT *EAST OF SPEEDWAY *FLORIDA ROCK AND SAND (FRS) HOLDINGS Near Term COUNTYLlNE MOTOCROSS PARK (AT M.E.

Appendix V.D.5b.1 Since the first draft of this document was presented for public review in Decem- ber 2006, the feasibility study has been substantially revised to address new or revised information provided by stakeholders or collected by the Consultant Team. Over 200 OHV enthusiasts and representatives from stakeholder agen- cies participated in a January 24th, 2007 public workshop. Stakeholder groups had an opportunity to comment on the user appeal of sites and to suggest new locations for further exploration. Attendees were also invited to complete a preference survey. A multi-agency round table was held on February 20, 2007 to review the environmental, regulatory, and availability status of the potential sites. Subsequent meetings were held with agencies and enthusiasts to verify the most current and available information. Of the 23 candidate sites evaluated in this report, this study recommends fur- ther investigation of five. Land surrounding the Dade-Collier County TNT Air- port stands out as the most viable long-term option. While it is not immediately available-as described later in more detail-this site has the best overall col- lection of desired site characteristics. Namely, it is large; under single, public ownership; appealing to users; potentially available for lease; already vegetat- ed; and distant from incompatible land uses. Two other sites offer potential opportunities for permanent OHV facilities. The Lands East of the Homestead Speedway and the FRS Holdings sites, both located in south Miami-Dade County, share many physical characteristics with the preceding site, while having fewer environmental constraints, but are less suitable overall because of their ownership composition. Both are privately held and in the case of the East of Speedway lands, highly fragmented. The anticipated cost and coordination required to assemble a large enough site for an OHV facility may make these sites ultimately un- feasible. Because of these sites' recent inclusion in the study, their recommendations are contingent upon additional due diligence, including contacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. The last two sites being recommended for further action are Countyline Motocross Park and the former Opa-Iocka West Airport. Both are considered "near term" opportunities. Countyline Motocross Park is an existing site with immediate availability. A private vendor will continue to operate the existing motocross practice track on a month-to-month basis until the MDCPRD issues a Request for Proposals and selects a vendor to commit to a five-year contract This report recom- mends that MDCPRD continue this process in order to facilitate a more permanent situation. The former Opa-Iocka West Airport site is both a near term and short term solution, due to the County Aviation Department's stated plans to dispose of 90 percent of the property for mining operations by the end of 2008. Unless the deal unexpectedly falls through, this will leave a very brief period for OHV use. This study recommends simultaneously pursuing two or more of the above-referenced sites to adequately serve the needs, preferences, and geographical dispersion of present and future users. It is advisable to work toward immediately securing at least one near-term opportunity, while at the same time pursuing one or more of the long-term sites. to BACKGROUND Off-highway vehicles are generally defined as motorized vehicles not registered or licensed for highway use. The term, however, encom- passes a wide variety of machines, including 4-wheel drive jeeps, auto- mobiles, or sport utility vehicles; motorcycles designed for off-highway use; all-terrain vehicles, more widely known as ATVs; and other spe- cially-designed off-road motor vehicles used in a wide variety of ways. Users often combine the riding experience with other outdoor activi- ties. Such activities include hiking, camping, hunting, backpacking, photography, sightseeing, mountain biking, picnicking, swimming, fish- ing, boating, skiing, and bird watching. The ideal OHV facility accom- modates not only riding, but also a combination of these activities. Appendix V.D.5b.1 Demand for OHV driving and riding has experienced a notable upsurge in the past few years. In 1960, when the first U. S. National Recre- ation Survey was done for the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission, off-highway motorized recreation was not even officially recognized as a recreational activity. In contrast, from 1982 to 2001, the number of participants over 12 years old grew by more than 100 0 1 N I' 1 F 10HVI'1 ca a a lona ores ral percent (Cordell et al. 2004, p. 37). The next rounds of subsequent Photo source: MDC Park and Recreation Department National Survey on Recreation and the Environment (NSRE) revealed that the number of users continued to balloon between 1995 and 2000 from 27.3 to 36.0 million. Based on NSRE results from last season, nearly one in four Americans (23.8 percent) age 16 and older participated one or more times in OHV recreation within the past year. While the number of people participating has increased across all demographic groups, the majority of participants continue to be under 50, male, and white, and residents of urban areas. Interest is increasing especially rapidly among 30 to 50 years old female, Hispanic, and urban riders. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, nationwide OHV annual sales more than tripled between 1995 and 2003, to more than 1.1 million vehicles sold in 2003. ATVs, specifically addressed and defined by the 2002 Florida Statutes, continue to be the most common vehicle type purchased, accounting for more than 70 percent of the OHV market. The population of OHVs in the U.S. grew nearly as fast, increasing 174 percent between 1993 and 2003. In just ten years, the number of OHVs has grown from fewer than 3 million vehicles in 1993 to more than 8 million in 2003. Across Florida, there are approximately 1,781,000 OHV users, meaning that 14.2 percent (or one in every seven) of the State residents participates in the activity. Within over 5 percent of the state's title request since 2002 coming from Miami-Dade County alone, the State Division of Forestry has targeted South Florida as a critical area for devel- III Appendix V.D.5b.1 opment of OHV recreation areas. According to the DHSMV, over 25,000 vehicles have been registered in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties since October 2002. Each year, the number of new riders increases. In 2003, 2004, and 2005, the number of newly registered vehicles was 5,350, 6,139, and 7,368, respectively. The data show that many individuals own multiple vehicles, lending support to feedback from local stakeholders that many South Florida OHV users ride as a family activity. According to an OHV Enthusiast Survey conducted at the Department's January 2007 Community Workshop, most us- ers live in the south and southwest areas of Miami-Dade County, although it may be noted that this is where the meeting was held. Local users have been riding seventeen years on average; they ride frequently-on average, once a week; and they go in large groups-on average, 13 people per outing. In recognition of the growing popularity of OHVs-ATVs and Off-Highway Motorcycles (OHMs), in particular-the Florida legislature signed The 1. Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act into law in 2002 to pro- mote the development of a statewide OHV recreational system. The intent of the law was "to create new opportunities for OHV users (specifically ATV and OHM users) while safeguarding the integrity of Florida's natural resources." The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Forestry is responsible for coordination between the planning, development and management of lands including those used for OHV riding. Funding is available for ATV trails through a DOF grant program. The funding, collected through the titling of ATVs, is used to fund feasibility studies, land acquisition grants, construction grants, and monitoring grants, to help develop more ATV areas for Florida residents. With money collected through the titling of OHVs, the State legislature allocated between $700,000 and $1 million in 2005 to the DOF for the 1. Mark Schmidt grant program. 40,000 35,000 5,000 New Off-Highway Motorcycle .New ATV 30,000 25,000 20,000 . Used Off-Highway Motorcycle .

According to sources at Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM), there has been ATV use in nearly all County owned natural areas in which access is not controlled. The South Dade Wetlands Acquisition Project is one of the most common areas of unauthorized use of ATVs-and consequently one of the most damaged-but there are others that are being used without permission, in particular: the West Biscayne Pineland, the Quail Roost Pineland, the Ludlam Pineland, and Tree Island Park. This situation prompted the MDCPRD to apply for a grant from the DOF in the category of Planning, Re- search, and Design of New OHV Recreation Areas, Trails, or Facilities, to identify and evaluate suitable areas throughout Miami-Dade County for the possible location of OHV recreational trails and facilities. Although the grant funding is geared toward ATVs and OHMs, Miami-Dade County is exploring providing facilities for an even wider range of vehicles in this study in order to respond to the full spectrum of demand. The grant agreement was executed in April 2006, with an expiration date of September 8,2008. The County chose the consulting team of WRT to conduct the study. '14 (l) ^ a 3 ro ~ ro ~ o ro .

PROCESS The approach to conducting this study consisted of a series of steps, and included extensive GIS-based analyses in the initial stages of the pro- cess to identify a range of potential site candidates. The criteria for deter- mining the feasibility of sites were established based on input received from stakeholder groups, including OHV enthusiasts and governmental agencies, as well as the expertise of the Consultant Team. Field visits were conducted of each site, in some cases more than once. Most im- portantly, the process involved significant interaction with the stakeholder groups, including the OHV community at large, through workshops, pre- sentations, surveys, round tables, and various other types of meetings. In all, eight meetings were held by the Feasibility Study team to solicit input and to review and corroborate information with the stakeholder groups. MCDPRD conducted additional one-on-one meetings and held briefings with local leaders. ASSEMBLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION WRT and the sub-consultants reviewed data on facility sizes and ameni- ties, development cost, and operations practices at comparable publicly owned OHV areas; researched legal issues related to operating OHV rec- reational facilities; gathered information about what kinds of activities are considered appropriate uses in OHV recreational areas; and reviewed planning and feasibility studies, plans, and other relevant documents about OHV areas around the country. Among other sources, the consultants reviewed reports and data from the MDCPRD, Planning and Zoning and Environmental Resources Man- agement Departments, the National Park Service, the Florida Division of Forestry, 1he National Recreation and Parks Association, the Everglades Coordinating Council, and several municipalities and counties around the nation that conducted OHV studies. In addition, the team reviewed past and current legislation including Chapter 317 Off-Highway Vehicle Titling, Chapter 261 Public Lands and Property Off-Highway Safety and Recre- ation, and Senate Bill 1672/House Bill 7079.

The Com- mittee and consultants developed the planning pro- cess, reviewed documents and resources, and iden- tified additional internal project participants and an initial list of external stakeholders. This Team worked together to meet with and gather information from stakeholder agencies and OHV enthusiasts. The Consultants and MDCPRD began gathering input at a quarterly meeting of the OHV Advisory Committee, a group under the direction of the DOF. Stakeholders from throughout the state attended, but because of the meeting's location, there was signifi- cant turnout from Miami-Dade, Broward, Collier and Lee Counties. Attendees represented public agen- cies such as DERM and SFWMD as well as private interests, such asATV and motocross users and OHV dealers. The second gathering, hosted on July 12, 2006 by the MDCPRD, was geared specifically toward gather- ing information from local enthusiasts. Users shared information about the areas in which they ride, where concentrations of users reside, and the challenges faced by OHV riders in Miami-Dade County. Users corroborated what the data suggest-in alignment with the national trend, there has been a substantial increase in both the sales and the popularity of ATVs in Florida in the last five years. Most active, local OHV users fall into one or more of three general cat- egories: families seeking passive, group-oriented experi- ences on long, meandering paths in 'natural' set- tings, "mud riders," who enjoy wet terrain, often in the form of a mud pit riders seeking more active, "challenge" rides, of- ten provided by very steeply sloped, bumpy ter- 51 rain that is navigated in a technical manner at much slower speeds. OHV riders are seeking a facility in Miami-Dade County that is legal, suitable, and safe. Intergovernmental coordination was an integral part of the development of the Feasibiiity Study. WRT identi- fied all agencies that might have land available and suitable for OHV areas, or had concerns that would impact or influence sites proposed in the Feasibility Study. These groups included the South Florida Wa- ter Management District, Everglades National Park, Board of County Commissioners, National Park Ser- vice, Miami-Dade County Agricultural Extension, Mi- ami-Dade County Aviation Department, Miami-Dade County Police (Agricultural Patrol Unit), Miami-Dade County Solid Waste, DERM and its Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program, and the Agricul- tural Practices Study Advisory Board. At the July 12, 2006 Stakeholders meeting, repre- sentatives from DERM and SFWMD discussed some of the challenges facing OHV facility site selection in terms of land management and protection of re- sources. The agencies expressed concern over two issues-the trampling of plants and the degradation of wetlands. These two agencies provided additional input about the potential of their landholdings as po- tential OHV sites on September 18, 2006. The Coun- ty Park and Recreation Department hosted an inter- agency meeting to gather information about potential sites for OHV trails within lands owned and main- tained by the South Florida Water Management Dis- trict. Other government agencies attended, including The Miami-Dade County Department of Environmen- tal Resource Management, the office of County Com- missioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz, and the State Division of Forestry.

Sf IDENTIFY POTENTIAL OHV SITES Appendix V.D.5b.1 Using GIS data (the process and results are detailed on the following page), analysis supplied by the MDCPRD, feed- back from local OHV enthusiasts and other government agencies, and the site selection criteria, the Feasibility Study Team identified a iist of prospective OHV areas (Figure 3). In totai, twenty three sites located in all areas of Miami-Dade County were investigated. They are: S8 Site Surfside Landfill (former) Vacant Lands near Dolphin Stadium Opa-Iocka West Airport (former) Countyline Motocross Park Beacon Countyline, LLC Industrial Lands in the Lake Belt Rock Min- ing Area NW 58th Street Landfill (former) County-owned land surrounding Dade-Col- lier Training and Transition (TNT) Airport SW 8th St and Krome Avenue Land Surrounding Everglades Correctional Institution SW 100th Street and Krome Avenue SW 232nd Street and SW 217th Avenue Rocky Glades (SFWMD - L-31-North Proj- ect Area) Homestead General Airport Frog Pond (SFWMD - 15 acre fill pad) SW 360th Street and 217th Avenue Ingraham Highway and SW 217th Avenue AeroJet General (former) South Homestead Lands Florida Rock and Sand (FRS) HDldings East of the Speedway Lands Priv.

A "data table" was completed for each site (see Figure 5 for sample template) with the best available information, thereby producing a snapshot of each potential property and allowing the team to draw preliminary comparisons between sites. This step also included the first of two surveys administered to local riders during the feasibility study. The "user appeal survey" was distributed to the three general user groups in Miami-Dade County identified at earlier meetings: mud riders; family-oriented ATV riders; and "challenge" riders. Riders were asked to rank potential sites on the list at the time using criteria such as general appeal, size, and accessibility. The feedback from this survey was the source for the "user appeal" criterion in the potential site ranking matrix. After gathering data on each site, the team made site visits to get a more information on the properties that appeared to meet a significant number of the criteria established in an earlier step. The team checked infor- mation that could not be gathered from existing site data, aerial photos, and images alone.

The team generated eleven categories by which to evalu- ate the sites. It is recognized that several of these variables overlap. For example, if a site contains wetlands, they will impact not only the site's environmental consideration score, but also the cost to develop, and perhaps existing land use, zoning, and ownership. The purpose of the ranking system is not to provide a definitive order from best to worst, but rather to generate a relative, quantifiable basis for comparison. The categories are as follows: / . Size: based on acreage and/or adjacency to large, vacant parcels. . Ownership: based on status as available for lease or purchase and status as publicly and privately held Existing land Use: based on current use of the site and those surrounding it Zoning: based on current County zoning classification of the site and those surrounding it . Environmental Consideration: based on the presence of wetlands (and basic understanding that wetlands vary in functional value), officially protected land or species, existing contamina- tion, reclamation needs, and existing disturbance. . Accessibility: based on access to external, paved roadways and proximity to a major road- way Cost to Obtain: based on tax assessor's market value; if the land was not free to the County through existing lease, management, or ownership or donation, the average cost per acre was derived from market value. A "natural breaks" statistical method was used to assign sites as "low", "moderate", "high", and "very high." . Cost to Develop: based on existing vegetation and topography, generally and unofficially estimated cost for reclamation, estimated cost for permitting and mitigation (e.g. wetlands), estimated cost to control access, if necessary . Recreation Features: based on the number of facilities that could be accommodated on the site (including a safety instruction and training area; motocross track, kids trail, trail system for off-highway motorcycles, trail system for ATVs, trail system for 4-wheel drive vehicles, 4-wheel drive challenge course, motorcycle trials area, and field center including restrooms, food and drink concessions, and shop parts, supplies, maintenance, and training video room) given the size and shape of the site and the variety of levels of difficulty, based on size, configuration, and existing topography. . Appeal to Users: based on user appeal survey distributed to mud riders, challenge riders, and family-oriented riders, sites were ranked as minimally appealing, moderately appealing, and extremely appealing. Site Availability: based on information from landowners and government agencies. ~ The first nine categories were subdivided into five point levels, with "1" being the least desirable and "5" being the most desirable. The tenth category, Appeal to Users, was subdivided into three point values, 1 for minimally appealing, 3 for moderately appealing, and 5 for extremely appealing. The last category, Site 44 Availability, was designed as a "bonus point." If the availability of a site was known to be a long term prospect it was assigned a -1. Conversely, if a site's availability was known to be near-term it was given a +1. If information about a site's availability was unknown, it was given 0 points. The point distribution for all of the categories was based on the criteria established during the step "Identify Site Selection Criteria", feedback from users, land managers and landowners, and information gathered while as- sembling background information. Certain categories-size, environmental consideration, cost to acquire, and cost to develop-were deemed to have greater im- pact on the feasibility of a site and therefore were given "double weight." For instance, if a site was a level "5" for size because it was 600 acres or larger, 10 points were contributed toward the final score. Size was considered to be of elevated importance because, while there is no one ideal acreage for an OHV park, it was determined that, generally, the bigger the parcel, the greater likelihood of being able to offer a large array of OHV recreation features. Environmental consideration was double-weighted be- cause one of the objectives of the study is to balance the needs of OHV enthusiasts with the protection of natural resources. Cost to acquire was deemed to have greater importance because funding is limited and having to allocate fewer resources toward obtaining a site leaves more money to spend developing it. Lastly, cost to develop was double weighted because, again, funding is limited and a site with existing features, such as vegetation and varied topography, allows more money to be directed toward offering a greater number of recreational features. Sites were then ordered by total score, with the understanding that sites ranking within a few points of one another merited the same level of consideration. The matrix of criteria is on the following page. After each site was assigned a point value in each category, score totals for each site were added up. The sites were first ranked by each member of the team and then, after comparing notes from the individual evaluations, by the group as a whole. The results of the group evaluation are presented in Appendix II of this report.

Changes were made when the original criteria did not fit the characteristics of a site (blue text) or a criterion became a showstopper (strikeouts). 47 Appendix V.D.sb.l SEEK FEEDBACK FROM STAKEHOLDERS AND ENTHUSIASTS Following the distribution of a draft report in December 2006, the Consultants and MDCRPD met with agencies and enthusiasts to receive feedback on preliminary findings, gather updated information on sites on the list, and determine if there were any additional sites to review for consideration. Based on these follow-up conversations, the MDCPRD identified three factors that are to be considered "show- stoppers." in other words, certain individual site characteristics were deemed to contradict the mission and values of the County and be so detrimental as to outweigh the sum of the other ranking criteria; if a site possesses one or more of these characteristics, it could no longer be considered a feasible option. Therefore, while a site may have been scored in the initial list, if it was previously obtained for conserva- tion or mitigation purposes (e.g. EEL land and/or a site dedicated for mitigation), absolutely unappealing to users, or a former County landfill site currently undergoing environmental remediation, that site was ultimateiy removed from consideration. .'$HOWSTOPPERS ~!i'?i,>:'.'."""";:_ "Sl~:'" '"~E':'i,r;i-'- , , "" , .,' ".J'ub!1c tcmd:obtalned for conservation or mitigation (EEL site and/or site .0, .d'1atld for mItI.atlon) "'i;',!:g""""" :,;,~u,u..", unappealing to users _.'...... currentfy undergoing environmental remediation Photo source: http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/victor-aberdeen/Dirtywold-STOP-sign.Poster-C12220416.jpeg A third meeting with enthusiasts, in a community workshop format, was held on January 24, 2007, at the John D, Campbell Agricultural Center in Homestead, The user groups provided additional input on the potential list of sites and reinforced their interest in particular locations. A second survey was distributed at this workshop. Meeting attendees, around 200, were asked to complete a survey about the vehicle types and desired experiences they would prefer to see accommodated at a Miami-Dade County OHV facility and basic demographic information about area riders. Most of the riders that attended the meet- ing and completed the survey are from the southwestern portion of the county. While the results indicate there has been a surge in popularity over the last several years, OHV riding is not new to the area-the average length of participation in the sport is seventeen years. Participation is frequent-about once per week-and often occurs in larger groups-the average is thirteen. Riders are overwhelming interested in ATVs, but also regularly ride trials and enduro/woods/trails bikes, They would like to see ATV trails at all levels, trials areas, and 4WD challenge courses, but also basic skills, safety, and youth training areas for less experienced riders, Overall, riders expressed a willingness to pay for entrance to an OHV facil- ity, but they were split about their preference for an annual or daily pass system.

FIGURE 11: SIGNAGE AT OCALA NATIONAL FOREST GUIDES OHV RIDERS TO ApPROPRIATE AREA 50 Appendix VD.5b.1 Following the release of the first draft of the feasibility study and the January 24 public workshop, a stakeholder agency follow-up meeting was held on February 20, 2007 to verify the most current and available information regarding the environmental, regulatory, and availability status of the potential sites. At this meeting, in addition to the sites that were presented, representatives from DERM recommended looking into lands east of the Homestead-Miami Speedway and lands at SW 100th Street and Krome Avenue. And in the months following these two larger meetings, the feasibility study team held several "one-an-one" meetings with agencies and enthusiasts to verify the most current and available information. INCORPORATE FEEDBACK AND UPDATE INFORMATION Since the first draft of this document was presented for public review in December 2006, the feasibility study has been substantially revised to reflect changed and additional information pro- vided by stakeholders.

This two-pronged approach was used in recognition that, while the rank- ing matrix provides a useful, fact- based comparison of the physical suitability of the sites, it was not designed to examine political as- pects of public decision making, shifts in the land market and other less tangible considerations. Con- sequently, some sites that initially scored highly in the matrix are not on the final list, while others which scored in the "middle-of-the-pack" are included. This compilation tries to account for the best bal- ance of factors that will expedite implementation of a solution-with the understanding that the plans, costs, and circumstances of today are subject to change. , !

The existing access road to the airport is paved, meets current standards, supports traffic to the airport operations complex, and does not impact any residential areas. The property is ap- proximately 23,100 acres and contains wetlands. About 1,000 acres of the site (completely fenced off) is a training & transition airport (paved runway and taxiway with a temporary building as an operations & maintenance office) used primarily for "touch and go" approaches by private and military aircraft. The fenced-in airstrip. which is east and south of a paved access road from US 41. would be off-limits to any recreational use. The remainder of the property was intended to be used for a new com- mercial international airport that never was developed. There are a few (possibly several dozen) hunting "camp" sites scattered throughout the remaining property. The County has a management plan for the remaining property; it must be reviewed to identify any potential conflicts. SITE CHARACTERISTICS SIZE: 2,000 acres of a 23,100 acres site EXISTING LAND USE: Big Cypress Na- tional Preserve SURROUNDING LAND USES: Big Cypress; TNT Airport TNT The 20,000 acres (+/-) north of the fenced-in airstrip offer a much larger piece of property but pose the most challenges to developing an OHV trail system. The 2,000 acres (+/-) south and east of the fenced-in airstrip would be the most at- tractive area for an OHV trail system. It contains at least six man-made "Iakes" created when fill material was excavated. Access to these mining sites was created by fill pad "roads" which remain to this day. This portion appears to be drier than the area north of the airstrip. Size Ownership Existing Zoning Environ. Accessi- Cast 10 Cost 10 Ree. Appeal to Bonus Tot.

The remote location minimizes impact on other activities or developments, reducing the likelihood of problems with adjoining property or land use issues. Noise, dust and light should not pose a significant issue for this site due to the lack of any significant nearby residential or commercial areas. Thousands of acres included in the north portion of the property can serve as a buffer to the Big Cypress National Preserve. Canal 28 provides a buffer to the east. While there are a few individual home sites and camp sites located to the south of the property, significant buffer area is available between the proposed trail system and the boundaries of the property. The "Iakes" and access "roads" could serve as the nucleus for an OHV trail system since they would provide elevated areas. There also is a network of established "trails" (one-lane tracks) that could be used to created loops to connect the pad areas of the "Iakes" and access "roads". These existing one-lane tracks must be used to create significant distance and variety to create a loop trail system. ( 51> Appendix V.D.5b.1 This access road could be used to provide ingress to trailheads for an OHV trail system. Electrical and water and sewer services have been provided to the airport complex, but would need to be extended to serve adjacent lands. Cons Due to the remote location of the site, the cross-jurisdictional complications, and the abundance of wildlife, the pro- vision of emergency medical support is a big concern. It may require the presence of a full-time, on-site emergency medical professional. However, the property contains an active airport with runways and radio communication equipment that provides a ready-made site for helicopter transport to regional medical facilities. The site is flat and much of the 23,100 acres may be subject to flooding during the wet season; Creating a trail system will require track hardening and elevation in places to allow the connecting trails to be used in wet seasons. This will require the inclusion of culverts and cross-drainage structures to allow water migration during the rainy seasons. Water flow considerations would have to be incorporated in the design. Without investing significant infrastructure costs, an OHV facility may only be able to operate for a portion of the year. The majority of the property lies within Collier County. Under less-than-favorable traffic conditions it could be a 60 to 75 minute drive from some parts of Miami-Dade County. While the property is outside of the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Protection and Restoration Area, there are other species that will pose serious health and environmental issues, including poisonous snakes, bear, wild boar, ot- ters, alligators, the horn billed wood stork, and panthers. Continued communication with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be necessary. The permitting process will be intensive because of these species, the presence of wetlands, and the possibility of being partially within the Biscayne Aquifer. There is a large population of deer, which attract hunters with firearms. Anecdotally, it has been reported that deer can jump fences over 10 feet high and gamesmen will cut through the fences to get to them. Due to wetness, aluminum fencing, which is expensive, would be necessary, but not guaranteed to be effective at separating OHV riders from hunters. --~ BROWARD\ ~----+-~-----\, I ! ( f~ Appendix V.D.5b.1 EAST OF SPEEDWAY LANDS During a review meeting of the first draft of this report, SFWMD and DERM suggested looking east of the Homestead Speed- way. Because of this site's recent inclusion in the study, its recommendations is contingent upon additional due diligence, including contacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. The site is located south of North Canal Drive, north of Palm Drive, east of the Speedway, and west of SW 117th Av- enue. Comprising approximately 450 acres, these properties are privately owned, subdivided into five to ten acres lots, lo- cated outside the Urban Development Boundary, and contain forested wetlands. Their adjacency to an existing, compatible, "noisy facility" makes the site an intrigu- ing potential candidate. DERM indicated that immediate action is critical because EEL has identified this spot as a medium-term "area of interest" for its South Dade Waterway Project.

The size of the site creates opportunities for a variety of recreational features. General land values probably less than Florida Rock and Sand land due to the nearby "nuisance" factor. Disturbed wetlands, lots of exotics - likely to get permits with appropriate mitigation proposal. With appropriate boundary controls, could be designed to be compatible with EEL lands to be purchased nearby. 58 Cons: Forested wetlands require permits. This land was farmed until the 1950s, which may necessitate remediation; it could have sig- nificant implications on the cost to develop. These sites are listed for EEL purchase. How- ever, there are no current acquisition efforts. The contiguous parcels are comprised of nearly fifty private landowners. Most of the parcels are approximately 10 acres. The overall cost to obtain may be higher due to fragmentation in ownership.

In light of the withdrawal of the Florida City Commons Development of Regional Impact application, there might be an opportunity to obtain a portion of the land for an OHV facility. Be- cause of this site's recent inclusion in the study, its recommenda- tions is contingent upon additional due diligence, including con- tacting the owner and determining willingness to sell. The parcels are outside the UDB (but within the municipal boundary for Florida City), and are currently a mix of agriculture, vacant, and rock min- ing. Size Ownership Existing Zoning Environ.

The size of the site creates opportunities for a variety of recreational features. All of the property is owned be one entity, FRS. Cons: The cost of obtaining this site is likely to be very high. The uncertain status of wetland permits (wet- land jurisdiction is variable over these tracts) could delay the process. Potential obligations to complete mitigation partly underway may create discontinuity be- tween available parcels. As former agricultural lands, the site may necessitate remediation, which could have significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop. There is already significant, existing distur- bance. As is evident from a comparison of the aerials in Figure 12, which was taken first, and Figure 11, much of this land has been filled in the recent past. If action is taken quickly, the current dirt movement may be coordinated with needs for an OHV park. The property may be available.

Thomp- son Park, which is located in the northwest corner of County on the east side of NW 177th Avenue (Krome) approximately two miles south of US Highway 27 (Okeechobee Road). Only 40 acres are suited to recreation activities due to environmental constraints. It is owned by the State of Florida (Trust- ees of the Internal Improvement Fund) and is managed by the MDCPRD. It was formerly developed as a campground, then redeveloped into an RV campground and subsequently closed over a decade ago. A campground of- fice/rest room facility building remains on the site but was partially destroyed by fire since the campground has been closed. A private vendor negotiated a short-term lease with the County to operate the motocross practice track on the site. The agreement expired at the end of May 2007; the vendor will continue on a month-to-month basis until the MDCPRD is- sues a Request for Proposal and selects a vendor to commit to a five-year contract. The track, known as Countyline Motocross Park, is designed for MX competition motorcycles. Primary use of the facility occurs on weekends. Increased buffering, fencing, and signage needs to be considered to improve protection of the adjacent wetlands from both iegal and illegal activities. The vendor who wins the five year contract will be required to install buffering to prevent riders from entering the environmentally sensitive areas. As managers of the forty-acre property, the Park and Recre- ation Department is responsible for "policing" the site and ensuring that users of the site are restricted to areas in which they are permitted. The current use of the site for a MX track may be the most effective use of a 40-acre site. However, it must be recog- nized that while a MX motorcycle track provides a needed place for a small segment of the Miami-Dade County OHV public to recreate, it does not offer a large enough area or a wide enough variety of OHV recreation experiences to satisfy the demand in Miami-Dade County.

There is a paved access road from Krome Avenue and a major highway (US 27) is located within two miles. It may be possible to add a small off-highway motorcycle and ATV training area that could be used by Motorcycle Safety Foundation and ATV Safety Institute instructors. There are no adjacent residential or commerciai areas. In order to provide restrooms, concessions, and storage (i.e. "field house") of the quality typically found in a Mi- .. -+c..'""" ~ .. ami-Dade County park, the County may want to consider rebuilding and perhaps even relocating the structure within the forty available acres. This could create more room and opportunities for an improved configuration for the permitted OHV facilities. A small portion of the 40 acre upland portion of the site may be used as a kiosk and trailhead for the Krome Trail, a proposed greenway along the adjacent l-31 North leveee. Cons There are only 40 acres of usable uplands within the 640-acre site and those upland acres are clustered near the entrance from Krome Avenue; only six percent of the total acreage can be utilized for OHV recreation. The 40 usable acres accom- modate a small Motocross (MX) track and provide a limited number of parking slots, but will not provide space for any non- competitive OHV activities such as recreational trail riding. Regardless of whether there is an increase in Park attendance when the lights are installed, increased buffering and fenc- ing from the adjacent wetlands may be necessary. According the Miami-Dade County Solid Waste Department, which is responsible for a portion of the wetlands in M.E. Thompson Park as part of their mitigation commitments, it has had to re- peatedly repair damage to the vegetation caused by illegal OHV use. The existing building on the site has been damaged by fire and vandalism and may be beyond repair. Users indicated that while Countyline Motocross Park is working well as a motocross facility, the site is too small and per- haps too dry to accommodate additional OHV facilities. 65 Appendix V.D.5b.1 Near Term QpA-LOCKA SITE CHARACTERISTICS SIZE: 416 acres EXISTING LAND USE: vacant; decom- missioned airport SURROUNDING vacant, mining LAND USES: WEST AIRPORT (FORMER) This 416-acre site is located in the northwest corner of Miami-Dade County on the east side of US Highway 27 (Okeechobee Road) at the intersection with Countyline Road. Access is from a major divided highway (US 27) and the site is located close to Florida's Turnpike. It is a decommissioned airport owned by Miami-Dade County. Adjacent land to the west is owned by SFWMD. land to the east and south is currently being mined. It is necessary to explore Broward County's develop- ment plans for the property just north of the site; it may be part of the City of Miramar. There are two existing paved runways. The runway does not need to be maintained; it could be removed. The concrete jersey barriers on the runways would need to be removed if OHVs were to use this site. The County has entered into a short-term lease with a private vendor to operate a drag strip on one of the existing runways. The Aviation Department plans to cease the lease within eight months to one year. , The County Aviation Department has announced plans to sell 90 percent of the property to a private mining company-the east edge will probably be sold separately for development of a commercial use. According to the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department, the time frame for rock mining is not absolutely certain, but they hope to complete the sale by the end of 2008. Because it is unknown which company will win the Department's Request for Quote and ultimately purchase the property, it is unknown whether the mining company will begin operations immediately or hold the site for a later time. If the latter occurs, there may be a possibility to negotiate a lease with the new owner until it is ready to mine. Size Ownership Existing Zoning Environ. Accessi- Cost to Cost to Rec.

This site is very appealing to users because it is large, far from neighborhoods, full of trees, muddy enough for mud riders, and suitable for several types of riders. Cons According to DERM, this property is in the C-g wetland basin and any portion of the site not currently developed is ju- risdictional wetlands. A Class IV wetlands environmental assessment would be necessary and all applicable wetland 10'1 Appendix V.D.5b.1 ---- regulations would need to be followed. In addition, DERM would require a formal letter of support for use of the property as an OHV facility from the Miami-Dade County Planning and Zoning Department. This process is likely to take at least nine months, the majority of the anticipated window of time before the Aviation Depart- ment sells the property. Due to the uncertainty and the timeline for permitting, it is recommended that this site be viewed as no more than a short-term, interim option that could be used while developing one or more of the long term recommen- dations. 65 .. -- ~ --~ , Appendix V.D.5b.1 I V .

If adverse circumstances change, the Team recognizes a site may merit reevaluation; how- ever, in most cases, this is not likely in the foreseeable future. , " ~\ I{ .~ ~ FIGURE 19: LESS FEASIBLE AND UNFEASIBLE SITES '1 69 Appendix V.D.5b.1 AEROJET GENERAL (FORMER) The size and configuration of available area is not suited to developing a satisfactory OHV facility. Unless these conditions change, the site should not be given further consideration. The site known as AeroJet General (former), located one mile east of Everglades National Park and on SW 408th Street, was operational as a rocket booster plant from the 1960s until the 1980s and is currently owned by the SFWMD. Access to this site, which is approximately 10 miles west of US Highway 1, is from Ingraham Highway. The entire site is in excess of 24,000 acres; the portion described as the old factory site is approximately 1,300 acres. The area of- fered for potential OHV trail use (approximately 100 acres) includes the upland area of the old factory site only-the fill pads and entrance road associated with the former booster rocket assembly facilities- and is available for lease or purchase by Miami-Dade County. The remainder of the site is not available now or in the future because of its en- vironmental sensitivity. The wetlands are designated as critical habitat for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow and are legislatively protected from development. This site would offer a trail riding experience far from the urban areas of Miami-Dade County and close to the Ever- glades National Park. The existing remnant AeroJet buildings would provide a trail user with an opportunity to see a part of Florida's space history. Remodeling of existing buildings may also provide a concession facility or other trail- head feature. The remote location of this site would eliminate any potential OHV/residential compatibility issues. (' Accommodating parking and traffic could pose a challenge; the two lane paved road connecting the entrance of the AeroJet site to the fill pads offered for OHV use can not be widened, torn up, or partially blocked because it is cradled by wetlands and it is used by nature enthusiasts for access to other portions of the site. Two facilities in particular at- tract recreational fisherman and bird watchers: Lucky Hammock, one of the most popular birding sites in the County, and an aquaculture center, which has several fishing piers. The design would have to take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park, which is within one mile. Everglades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent Parks' legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Again, proper buffering will be critical. Trails within the fill pad areas would require consideration (i.e. trail layout, buffers, fencing, etc.) of the adjacent wetland areas that are preserved as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Trail mileage would be limited by the shape of the parcel and the linear layout of the existing roads and other paved areas. The SFWMD plans for the areas adjacent to this site would limit future expansion of OHV trails at this location. Based on feedback from the surveys and during community meetings, the user appeal of this site is high. However, it appears that a significant portion of those providing feedback based their rank of this site not on what SFWMD offered for OHV trails-100 acres of upland, fill pad-but rather use of the entire site, wetlands included. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of experiences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading. 70 Appendix V.D.5b.1 71 Appendix V.D.5b.1 BEACON COUNTYLlNE, LLC This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill, lack of appeal to users, and acquisition costs. This privately owned site in northwest Miami-Dade County was formerly used as a construction and demolition recycling and disposal landfill and has recently been considered for re-development as an industrial/office park and as a potential location for a new Florida Marlins stadium. The size and square layout of this site would allow a good trail design with multiple loops and long trail distances. The site is bordered by the Florida Turnpike and Interstate 75, therefore perimeter buffers between OHV uses and the roadways would not be required. Residential areas are located approximately 0.5 miles east of the site on the east side of Interstate 75. Access to this site is good since there is an interchange from Interstate 75 southeast of the site directly to NW 138th Street. The location would maximize the use of the site by Miami-Dade and Broward County residents. The potential development of this parcel as well as the unknown landfill capping (formal closing of the landfill) costs are likely to result in this site being too expensive as an OHV recreation facility. It is also unknown if the property is for sale; it may be unavailable. Coordination between Miami-Dade County and the City of Hialeah and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection would be required during the acquisition and design of this site. User feedback indicated hesitancy over this site because of its former use as a landfill and the resultant condition of the soil. Photo source: Google Earth 7'1 Appendix V.D.5b.1 FROG POND (SFWMD-15 ACRE FILL PAD) Due to small size and access issues, this site does not warrant further investigation at this time. This 15 acre site is located in southwest Miami-Dade County within a large (5000 acre:!:) SFWMD restoration project. The property is long and narrow. This site is difficult to access by vehicle because there is no paved road. Access from the south and east is blocked by a canal, from the west by the Everglades National Park, and from the north via an unimproved north-south berm that requires high-clearance vehicles. Potential tres- pass issues exist with active agricultural uses immedi- ately to the east of the access berm and with National Park land along the western boundary of the property. However, this site should be considered as a potential site for OHV trails if adjacent lands are designated for access, trailheads, or OHV trails. Based on feedback from the surveys and during com- munity meetings, the user appeal of this site is high; it was noted appealing to a variety of types of riders and it is far from residential development. However, it ap- pears that a significant portion of those providing feed- back based their rank of this site not on what SFWMD offered for OHV trails-15 acres of fill pad-but rather use of the entire site. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of expe- riences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading. Photo source: Google Earth n Appendix V.D.5b,1 HOMESTEAD GENERAL AIRPORT The portion of the site currently offered for OHV use is too small to justify continued consideration of this site, This 700-acre:t property is located in southwest Miami-Dade County at SW 280th Street and SW 217th Avenue. It is owned by the County and operated by the Aviation Department. Since the majority of the property is utilized for airport operations, only a 20 acre parcel outside of the fenced in airport has been offered for an OHV park. The size of the site prevents it from further consideration as a stand-alone option. It may have use as a trailhead/access point to adjacent SFWMD land known as Rocky Glades (see Section III); however its potential is remote because the cost to restore or replace the bridge connecting the two sites is estimated to be prohibitive. There are several small parcels on the northern and western borders of the site which the Aviation Department has leased to agricultural operations, and these small parcels (as well as several small, adjacent privately-owned parcels) might be considered for small trailheads to access Rocky Glades. There are no adjacent residential areas. Access to these potential trailheads from SW 217th Avenue would be via an unimproved road (SW 280th Street) that would require upgrading. There is a closed bridge across the l-31 North canal that connects the site to Rocky Glades, but the cost to inspect and repair or replace the bridge to allow OHV-only or limited-load vehicular traffic is not known. Based on feedback from the surveys, the user appeal of this site is high. It was noted as great for all types of riders, especially"mudders." However, it appears that a significant portion of those providing feedback based their rank of this site not on what the Aviation Department offered for OHV trails-20 acres on the western portion of the site-but rather use of a larger, different portion. Because the size, configuration, vegetation, and ability to design for a range of experiences and vehicle types of the actual site is much more limited than what voters appeared to vote on, the feedback may be misleading. Photo source: Google Earth 7'1 Appendix V.D.5b.1 INDUSTRIAL LANDS IN THE LAKE BELT ROCK MINING AREA Due to ongoing legal challenges and significant environmental constraints, this site is not currently a viable candidate for an OHV facility. This 22,000 acre:t collection of properties is owned by a few private corporations (including Rinker Materials, Titan Corporation and Vecellio & Grogan). It is located in northwest Miami-Dade County north of NW 25th Street, west of Florida's Turnpike and east of NW 157th Avenue. While the site is large, land is disturbed, and access is good, the limitations are overwheiming. DERM directed the Consultant team to the SFWMD website for information on the lake Belt Plan Phase II, which influences the type and extent of activities that can occur in this unique area of Miami-Dade County. The website indicates that approximately 50 percent of the land within the lake Belt Area is owned by the mining industry, 25 per- cent is owned by government agencies, and the remaining 25 percent is owned by non-mining private landowners. Although the Vision for the future of the lake Belt includes a recreation component, it specifically refers to "opportuni- ties afforded by the wetlands and waterways," suggesting that passive recreational uses were those contemplated in the plan. The Northwest Wellfield is located at the eastern edge of the lake Belt, and is the largest drinking water wellfield in the State, supplying some 40 percent of the potable water for Miami-Dade County. The lake Belt Plan and the Northwest Wellfield Protection Plan preclude development activity and public access to the wellfield area, and impose limitations on the types of uses and extent of development to minimize potential impacts on drinking water supplies. Other potential limitations include the planned long-term use of the area as a water reservoir, as part of the Ever- glades Restoration Plan. A decision is pending on the Sierra Club v. Flowers lawsuit. The lawsuit jeopardizes the future of limestone mining in the area. A judge issued an opinion in 2006 that the government agencies had not properly followed procedures in evaluating and authorizing continued limestone mining operations in the lake Belt. The permits in question are for the mines operating under the Lake Belt Plan. A decision against the mining operations mayor may not benefit a potential OHV use in the area. land acquisition, development, and mitigation costs could be substantial. The Pensucco Wetlands are iocated to the west, separated from the Lake Belt by an FPl easement. Accessibility and light/noise pollution would have to be minimized to protect this sensitive area from disturbance. DERM may be able to offer the MDCPRD slime sludge from the WASA well to use a source of base material for OHV trails. Based on the user appeal survey, riders of all types of OHVs were attracted to the size of the site and the potential range of activities that could be offered. The soil accommodates multiple types of riders, including mudders and dirtbike racers. 75 Appendix V.D.5b.1 INGRAHAM HIGHWAY AND SW 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contaminants and present agricultural use, this site is not being recom- mended for further consideration. This site, located north and south of Ingraham Highway in the southwest part of the County, consists of several contiguous parcels of property (approximately 150 acres per parcel) that, combined, total approximately 625 acres. Although located in a remote part of the county, the site is easily accessed directly from Ingraham High- way, approximately 6 miles west of US Highway 1. Currently, the property is used for agricultural purposes and located outside of the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). While this site would not be subject to Miami-Dade County's policy on "no net loss" of agricultural land, the MDCPRD strongly supports the spirit of the policy and not developing on farmland outside the UDB. The Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. The site would need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. Contaminants would have significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop. Since the site has been used for agricultural purposes, there is limited existing vegetation that could be used to design interesting OHV trails. Site planning would need to consider the creation of features on the site to make an enjoyable OHV experience (i.e. excavation of areas, creation of topography, planting, etc.). As a cost coun- terbalance, with use of design features like trail switchbacks, it may be possible to compress the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing acquisition costs. The site is contiguous to publicly owned lands (SFWMD) so the opportunity exists to extend trails offsite at a later date. However, a crossing of the C-111 canal would be necessary to connect this site with the adjacent former AeroJet site. The other adjacent land-uses include low-density residential areas and other agricultural uses and, therefore, no incompatibility issues have been identified at this site. The design would need to take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park. Everglades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent of the Park's legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Proper buffering would be critical. Round Hammock, a high quality water habitat in Miami-Dade County, is located on the southern portion of the site. It and the immediate adjacent land have been granted Natural Forest Community Protection, thereby restricting the maximum allowable development of this portion of the property to 20 percent. Mitigation require- ments would apply to any impacted areas of this portion of the site. 76 Appendix V.D.5b.1 Similar to the other privately-owned property identified in this report, the willingness of the owner to sell or lease the property is not known at this time; the property is not listed for sale and a search for the owner's contact information based on the property appraiser's database did not yield results. According to the User Appeal Survey, some riders were satisfied with the size of this site while others found it small. Gener- ally, however, they thought the size could accommodate several types of riders and is in "good condition." 77 Appendix V.D.5b.1 NW 58TH STREET LANDFILL (FORMER) This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill and strong lack of appeal to users. The County's Solid Waste Management Department owns this site located in the north half of the county and consist- ing of approximately 400 acres. The southern third of this site has been reserved for other recreation facilities (soccer fields) and other County department facilities. The north part of the site contains an environmentally protected area. The remaining area identified for potential OHV trail use is approximately 200 acres. There are paved roads leading to the site, making it accessible from either the Turnpike or the Palmetto Expressway via NW 58th Street. This former Superfund site underwent "enhanced closure" between 1 991 and 1995. These additional safety mea- sures included drainage and stormwater controls. The entire site is covered with an interrelated stormwater system of ditches, swales, culverts, energy dissipaters, and stilling basins. The eastern fifth of the site, a large hill totaling approximately 80 acres, is covered by a PVC liner and has gas vents protruding at the surface level. Therefore, riding would be prohibited on this portion of the site; proper fencing or buffering would be necessary. Any changes to the stormwater management of the site would require approval from the State of Florida. The northern third of the western four fifths of the site is covered by wetlands, which serve as a stormwater mitigation basin and recharge area for the aquifer. The wetlands provide habitat for two protected species, wood storks and bald eagles, as well as for flamingos, ospreys, and alligators. 78 Appendix V.D.5b.1 The site's groundwater is tested at several locations. If gasoline were detected from OHV uses or otherwise, the County would be liable to install a remediation system. Currently, the surface water quality is good. Because the landfill was operated between 1952 and 1982 when there were fewer safety and environmental regulations, the Solid Waste Management Department is concerned about the presence of toxins in the soil. For example, the groundwater still contains high levels of ammonia. In addition to any ensuing health hazards, they are uneasy about having the potential of having two highly flammable substances, methane hydrogen sulfate produced by the landfill and gasoline used by OHVs, intermingle. The Solid Waste Management Department used this site as a hur- ricane debris station following Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Because of the success of this staging area, Solid Waste Management is reluctant to endorse other uses of this site. The north, east, and west edges of the site are bordered by in- dustrial uses, therefore OHV recreation would be compatible with the neighbors. The area north of the County-owned landfill parcel is currently being mined and there may be an opportunity in the future to extend OHV trails farther north once the mining operation is complete. While the topography and location of this site adjacent to devel- oped areas seemingly creates the potential for a unique urban OHV riding experience, the regulations associated with the former Superfund site all but prohibit the interesting integration of these features. In addition, the lack of trees or other brush on site would require designing artificial obstacles and/or substantial plantings to create OHV trails. In the User Appeal Survey, this site received a very negative re- sponse from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dryness of the site for mudding. This opinion was reiterated at the January 2007 community workshop. 79 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SOUTH DADE LANDFILL (FORMER) B CERTOSA HOLDINGS, LLC This site does not warrant further consideration due to constraints on the redevelopment of a capped landfill and strong lack of appeal to users. This former landfill site (approximately 107 acres) is currently owned by Miami-Dade County (Public Works and Solid Waste Management Departments). The site is currently restricted from public access (fenced) and contains a stormwater management system, methane and leachate monitoring systems, and a grass-cov- ered cap over the former landfill area. The area used previously as a landfill is approximately 15 to 20 feet above the surrounding elevations. This site provides very good vehicular access from the existing road network. There is an existing turn- pike exit approximately 1.5 miles west of the site that connects to SW 248th Street (a paved roadway to the site). The closest residential area is approximately one mile from the site and the existing surrounding land uses would be consistent with OHV recreation use (i.e. agricultural and landfill uses are adjacent to the site). The site is outside the UDB; therefore, future compatibility issues would be minimal. There may be an opportunity to purchase additional property to the south and west in the future to expand the park or trail system. 80 landfill closure requirements include a 30-year moni- toring and maintenance procedure. Additional coordi- nation with the Solid Waste Management Department and the Florida Department of Environmental Protec- tion would be required to identify all issues related to using portions of a closed landfill for OHV trails. This may include changes to the FDEP permit, design of the trail to include an additional barrier between the bottom of the trail and the top of the landfill, and fenc- ing/barriers around existing monitoring or mainte- nance features within the landfill. Although this site would be closer than any other available legal OHV trail area adjacent to the County, the southern location of this site would require a drive across the County for residents in the northern part of the County. This site received a very negative response from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dry- ness of the site for mudding. Appendix VD.5b.1 Photo source: Google Earth 81 SOUTH HOMESTEAD LANDS Appendix V.D.5b.1 These two sites are not candidates for further consideration because of their status as mitigation land or DERM-protected land. This site includes areas east of US1 and Card Sound Road and south of East Palm Drive in the southeast part of the County. This location contains existing trails and disturbed areas that have been used by enthusiasts and has been described as "The Hump" riding area. Within this general area, there appear to be two separate places that contain trails. Trail Area One is generally located northeast of where US1, Krome Avenue, and Card Sound Road converge. It has been used as a staging point for enthusiasts and con- tains privately owned lots ranging in size from 10 to 20 acres. Approximately 2.5 miles southeast of this location, there is another spot with a high concentration of existing trails. This second area contains several larger, contigu- ous lots (ranging in size from 76 acres to 144 acres) total- ing approximately 750 acres on which the existing trails are located. The two major landowners are 640 Homestead Co., lLC, and FRS Holdings, Inc. The land between these two areas is used for agricultural operations. Nearby roads are narrow, unpaved farm roads. The wetlands in this section are dominated by high quality sawgrass prairie that is dotted with native-dominated tree islands and scattered buttonwood stands. Although there is some melaleuca present, it is scattered and generally of low density, therefore the wetland function is considered to be very high. Obtaining wetland permits would likely be ac- companied by a large mitigation requirement. Eight of the parcels lie within the boundaries of the South Dade Wet- lands EEL Project, which was designated for acquisition in 1994 because of its environmental sensitivity. Acquisition of parcels by EEL is ongoing in this area and DERM has indicated that ATV riding is not considered a compatible recreational use for EEL sites. User appeal of this site was extremely high. OHV enthu- siasts, many of which are familiar with the location, terrain, and muddiness of the site, have deemed the South Home- stead lands "great for all riders and all types of OHVs." 811 SURFSIDE LANDFILL (FORMER) Appendix V.D.5b.1 This site does not warrant further consideration due to the potential presence of hazardous substances and strong lack of appeal to users. This site is privately owned and contains approxi- mately 161 acres. A portion of the site (approximately 98 acres) was formerly used as a landfill. Based on DERM records, there may be ammonia and chlorinated solvents located at this site that may increase start-up costs (need to consider reclamation/clean-up costs and risks to OHV users). It is anticipated that some of the site may be developed as an auto auction facility in the future. The status and exact location of the former land- fill has not been determined. The site is located within the City of Miami Gardens in the northern part of the County and is easily accessible from the surrounding road network. The existing canal to the south and the Turnpike to the north provide good buffers from neighboring uses. There are residential ar- eas within approximately 200 feet of the south and east property lines that would need to be considered during site planning and design. An existing landfill located to the west would be compatible with OHV use. The site is currently restricted from public access by an 8' high chain link fence in good condition that would also pro- vide good containment of trails onsite. The topography and vegetation on the site would provide an enjoyable trail-riding experience for OHV enthusiasts and would offer ample opportunity for creative trails and destina- tion features. This site received a very negative response from OHV enthusiasts who were concerned about health and safety issues related to soil contamination and the dry- ness of the site for mudding. 85 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW lOaTH STREET AND KROME AVENUE This site does not warrant additional consideration due to its likely high cost, its proximity to residen- tial development, adjacency to a Everglades Seepage Control structure, and current agricultural use. SW 100th Street and Krome is located in the southwest portion of the County, approaching the Everglades. This 412 acre property was recommended for analysis by representatives from DERM and the South Florida Water Management District. It is under single, private ownership and zoned agricultural. Its size and single-owner status is appealing. However, there are several factors that reduce its feasibility. Its market value (estimated by the property appraiser's office to be $26.7 million in 2006) is very high. It is bordered on the south by residential development. As an agricultural property located outside the UDB, it would probably generate opposition from the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board. And lastly, the Everglades National Park Seepage Management Project, which is ongoing, is planning to locate a levee which would run along the eastern border of the site-the most logical access point for an OHV facility. 84 Appendix VD.5b.1 VACANT LANDS NEAR DOLPHIN STADIUM This site is not recommended for further consideration because of the disconnectedness of the properties and the lack of appeal to users. Although originally listed as a potential site for OHV recreation several issues were identified that resulted in this site not being ranked in the final scoring matrix. OHV trails would not be compatible with the existing over- flow parking use during sporting events on the site. In addition, maintenance and design requirements may limit the ability to negotiate a suitable lease with the property owner. The user appeal of this collection of sites was very low. It was perceived to be unsafe for unattended vehicles and trailers, too small for multiple riders, and too dry for mud riders. However, the amount of trees makes the site good for scrambling and passive riding. a5 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 232ND STREET AND SW 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contaminants and present agricultural use, this site is not being recom. mended for further consideration. This 640-acre parcel is privately owned land adjacent to the l-31 North canal and west of SW 217th Avenue (at the north end). Access to the site for an OHV facility would probably be via SW 232nd Street from Krome Avenue. Users found this site appealing because of its location, size, and ability to accommodate several types of riders, particularly mud riders. Currently, the property is used for agricultural purposes. The site will need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. This could have significant implications for cost. Although an OHV facility would not be subject to Miami-Dade County's "no net loss" policy, the MDCPRD would prefer to respect the spirit of the policy and not develop agricultural land outside the UDB. Also, the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. This property is not listed for sale or lease. However, the owner was confirmed to be owned by a willing seller by a MDCPRD staff who specializes in parkland acquisition. Independentiy of the OHV Trail Feasibility Study, the park- land acquisition department has been researching the property for potential purchase. There may be substantial competing interest in this property to either create additional residential homes or retain the existing agricultural use. While DERM would not support residential on this property because of the site's proximity to a flood protection le- vee, the potential demand may still cause the market value (or estimated cost to obtain) of the property to become prohibitively high. With use of design features such as trail switchbacks, it may be possible to compact the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing the cost to obtain. If buffered properly, the agencies see public use of the property as a better transition to the Everglades National Park than residential development. DERM and SFWMD view the existing buffers created by the roads to the north (SW 232nd Street), south (SW 248th Street) and west (SW 217th Avenue), and l-31 North Canal to the west as a plus, a way to contain riders and keep them from trespassing on prohibited, environmentally sensitive areas. However, should the decision be made to pursue a connection to the publicly owned lands to the west of the l-31 North Canal (referred to as Rocky Glades and described in greater depth in section III.H of this report), several small, privately owned, parcels in agricultural use would need to be purchased or a suitable access easement obtained. Coordination with SFWMD and a bridge crossing of the l-31 North canal would also be required for future expansion. The configuration and size of the property would allow for a variety of OHV recreation uses on the site. However, the lack of existing vegetation and natural terrain at this site would require additional design considerations. 86 Appendix VD.5b.1 The traffic generated by an OHV park and its impact on the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east would require a traffic impact study and thoughtful design. Residential areas along the east and south edges of this property would need to be considered (noise buffers) during the site plan process for the OHV facility. According to the Miami-Dade County Police Agricultural Patrol, in other parts of the County there have been repeated reports of conflict between OHV riders and property owners in adjacent residential areas. Because this site is located directly west of residential develop- ment, the Agricultural Patrol called attention to the possibility that OHV use on this site will raise strong opposition from neighbors. 87 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 360TH STREET AND 217TH AVENUE Due to the potential presence of contaminants and present agricultural use, this site is not being rec- ommended for further consideration, This site is comprised of several individual parcels of privately owned land under the same ownership. The total contiguous acreage with the same owner is ap- proximately 621 acres and the property abuts another privately owned property to the south that contains approximately 1,170 acres. There is a series of interconnected natural water fea- tures meandering throughout the property. These in- clude loveland Hammock, which is managed by EEL, hook-shaped jurisdictional wetlands known as love- land Slough, and a second smaller hammock on the eastern edge of the property. The slough divides the property into two pieces, raising design and engineer- ing questions with potentially costly answers: Can the slough be crossed by a bridge? If so, what is the cost of a bridge structurally sound enough to carry OHV traffic and long enough to clear sensitive lands? If not, would additional parcels need to be purchased to create a "connector trail" between the pieces? If both sides of the property were developed, what types of buffers would be necessary to keep people from taking a shortcut through the slough to get between sides? While the complete answers to these questions are for a later stage in this process, they merit consider- ation during the feasibility phase. Should the site be chosen for further consideration, a full environmental assessment would be necessary to ensure the design of an OHV park on this site is environmentally sen- sitive and fully compliant with all associated regula- tions. In addition, the need for adequate fencing and 88 buffering should be taken into consideration as part of cost to develop projections. According to DERM of- ficials, portions of this property have been discussed in association with the CERP C-111 Spreader Canal flow-way reconstruction project; while there no imme- diate plans for this site, cooperation and communica- tion with related agencies is necessary. Similar to the other privately owned property identified in this study, this site is not listed for sale or lease and a search for the owner's contact information based on the property appraiser's database did not yield re- sults. Therefore the ability and cost to purchase the property is not known. This site configuration and size would allow a myriad of OHV recreational opportunities. Other than the aforementioned sensitive water features, there do not appear to be any significant on-site restraints that would limit development of an OHV park that includes a lengthy network of trails. With use of design fea- tures like trail switchbacks, it may be possible to com- pact the footprint of the OHV facility and purchase only a portion of the 600 acre site, thereby reducing the cost to obtain. This property is currently used for agricultural purpos- es. Therefore, it is subject to Miami-Dade County's policy on "no net loss" of agricultural land. The Ag- ricultural Practices Study Advisory Board has stated that they would oppose an OHV facility on this site. Appendix V.D.5b.1 This has significant implications on cost to obtain and cost to develop. The site will need to be tested for arsenic and other carcinogens often present in the soil of formerly farmed land. Surrounding uses are not ideal. Most of the property within 1,000 feet is agricultural and, according to the Miami- Dade Police Agricultural Patrol, the relationship between farmers and OHV users in Miami-Dade County has grown increasingly contentious as cases of crop vandalism have become more common. While this does not merit removal of this site from further consideration, the increased need for fencing and buffering between neighbors must be fac- tored into the cost to develop. Access to this area could be provided by one mile of paved roadway (SW 217th Avenue) from Ingraham Highway, but the design must take into consideration the site's proximity to the main entrance to Everglades National Park, which is within one mile. Evergiades National Park officials are concerned about potential noise and light pollution, both of which could undermine the intent Parks' legislative designation as a "wilderness area." Again, proper buffering will be critical. Some of the users indicated that they thought this site was small. However, because they have referred to other sites of equal or less acreage as being big, there may have been confusion over the actual property in question. 89 Appendix V.D.5b.1 SW 8TH STREET AND KROME AVENUE This site is not currently for lease or sale, and is therefore not available for consideration for OHV use. This site was suggested by several of the attendees of the January 24th, 2007 Miami-Dade County OHV Trails Feasibility Study Public Workshop, as well as several prior stakeholder meetings. The agencies were aware this site has been historically popular with OHV users. Aerial photography showing OHV tracks throughout the properties corroborates this. ( DERM, SFWMD, and the Miami-Dade County Agricul- tural Patrol agreed that the land acquisition challeng- es of this site would be immense. The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians owns a large number of parcels along the northern and eastern edges fronting the road, the southeast corner was recently platted with several hundred 50' by 100' lots, and many of the interior par- cels are used for mitigation purposes. Plus, this area may become a target of CERP's Bird Drive Recharge Project, which is seeking to establish an area adjacent to Krome and 8th Street for reservoirs to stockpile wa- ter and stop seepage out of the Everglades. In a conversation with representatives from the Mic- cosukee Tribe, the Miami-Dade County Park and Rec- reation Department reported there seems to be little receptiveness on the Tribe's part to the idea of sur- rendering land on these properties to OHV use, on the basis of environmental and liability issues. In addition, according to the Miami-Dade County Ag- ricultural Patrol, there have been repeated reports of conflict between OHV riders and property owners in the densely populated residential area to the east. The site contains a lot of Melaleuca, which is prone to catch fire and generate significant amounts of smoke. There have been several fires over the years, which the Agricultural Patrol suspects were the result of ar- son or tailpipe emissions from unauthorized OHV use mixing with the dry vegetation. / \ 90 Appendix VD.5b.1 LANDS SURROUNDING HOMESTEAD AIR RESERVE BASE Due to the site's present agricultural use, it is not being recommended for further consideration. This "site" is loosely comprised of lands to the north and east of the Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), an area which contains several sizable parcels (up to 160 acres) under single ownership. Most of the properties are used for row-crop agriculture (e.g. Alger Farms-S of HARB; Barry M. Brandt Trust-SW and N of HARB), tree farming (e.g. Manuel Diaz farms N of HARB, and several smaller tree farm companies E of HARB), or mining (e.g. Singletary Concrete Products, which owns over 1,000 contiguous acres, mostly rock mining lakes). One to two miles west of HARB (S of SW 312th Street) is the north end of the FPl mitigation lands and some SFWMD land; much of this is part of the Acceler8 Water Plan, which would likely make it difficult or not possible to obtain fill permits. The property is within an area targeted by the Agricultural Practices Study Advisory Board for continued farming, and the Board has indicated that it would not be in favor of this site for OHV use. Appendix V.D.5b.1 LAND SOUTH OF EVERGLADES CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION Due to significant environmental, archaeological, and access factors, this site is not recom- mended for additional investigation at this time. The property, which is approximately 730 acres in total, is located west of Krome, east of the l-31 Canal, and just less than a mile south of SW 8th Street. It is comprised of two parcels. The first is 209 acres and owned by the Department of Justice (owned by the Army Corps of Engineers until June 2007); it has no direct access to Krome, but rather has ingress/egress via a narrow strip of land connecting it to the Everglades Correction Institution to the north. Throughout its history the property has been used for a variety of activities, including a processing center for illegal immigrants and alleged CIA operations and Nike missile site. Today, it has fallen into disrepair and appears to be used mostly for paintball and unauthorized graffiti-ing. The second parcel, which surrounds the former, totals 524 acres and is privately owned by la Primera International Corporation. Both properties are categorized as "unzoned." According to the DERM, Wetlands section, all of the 524, privately owned acres are "high quality" wetlands and, therefore, developing this site in any way would be extremely challenging. Not only is there a high like- lihood the Park and Recreation Department would be denied the necessary permits, the process would be subject to the approval of the Miami-Dade County Planning and Zoning Department, who would have to en- dorse an OHV facility on land currently designated as "open land/vacant." In addition to these obstacles, the site also contains archaeological "midden" or deposits such as shells, bones, and refuse that indicate human settlement, and environmentaiiy valuable tree islands. 'III Appendix V.D.5b.1 9S / , , '- t'" i" / { \. Appendix VD.5b.1 ROCKY GLADES (SFWMD- L-31 N, PROJECT AREA) This 5000-acret site is located on the western edge of Miami-Dade County, south of SW 168th Street and north of SW 288th Street. It is a long (7 to 7.5 miles) and narrow (between .25 miles wide in the south to 1 mile wide in the north) property bounded on the west by the Everglades National Park and on the east by the l-31 North Canal. Ac- cess on the north end is via SW 168th Street. Krome Avenue is approximately 4 miles away, and does not provide direct access to the site. "Rocky Glades" is a series of properties owned by SFWMD, purchased for an environmental engineering water conduction project, the components of which include two levees, several pump stations, impoundments, reservoirs, and the canal system. SFWMD rules do not permit the riding of OHVs on levees; as such, there is no access to the levees nor along the canals, which are currently protected by a Yo mile wide buffer of eight to ten foot tall grasses. SFWMD has indicated that, in consideration of its goals for water storage and the improvement of water quality at Rocky Glades and the construction timeline for the project, utilization of the property for either short-term or long- term off-highway vehicle use would not be appropriate. The District requested that the this site not be utilized for OHV use. The large size of the site and the existing vegetation offer the potential for an extensive, designated trail system in a non-urban setting. However, the site would present challenges in design, construction, operation and maintenance that would require unique solutions. In order to protect sensitive areas and water management structures, facilities and agricultural operations, this site would require a substantial investment in trail marking, user education and on- the-ground enforcement presence. While there are very few residential parcels in the vicinity and a limited number of private in-holdings within the site, there would likely be competing interest in the land from the farmers who owned the property prior to the project. However, according to SFWMD, some of the land-particularly to the west near the reservoirs-is likely to be too wet to farm or ride year round. User appeal of this site was moderate to high. While it was only the 5th most popular site at the January 2007 public meeting, results from the surveys indicated that it was good for trails, wet enough for mudding, in a location accessible to all County residents, and has an appealing mix of vegetation. 9'1 Appendix V.D.5b.1 .

CONCLUSIONS The results of the Off Highway Vehicle Trails Feasibility Study indicate that while there is no single, ideal site for an OHV facility in Miami-Dade County, there are several that merit further investigation (See Appendix for complete rankings results). It is highly recommended that the County pursue these options simultaneously, rather than one at a time. Due to the changing nature of conditions, there is no definitive order of suitability. However, land Surrounding TNT Airport appears to offer the greatest opportunity for long term development of multi-purpose OHV facilities. FRS Holdings and land East of the Speedway also offer a possibility for a long term solution, however the time and money associated with the assembly of private parcels may prove to be prohibitive. '"'"\ I The Countyline Motocross Park in Milton E. Thompson Park is well suited for the conditions of the site and provides a location where a small portion of the OHV public-motocross users- can recreate. Therefore, it is recommended to continue the current operation, while recognizing that this motocross motorcycle track alone does not offer a large enough area or a wide enough variety of OHV recreation experiences to satisfy the demand in Miami-Dade County. Based on its current popularity as a practice motocross track, and future potential as a MX competition track with lighting for evening events, the Park and Recreation Department should continue to pursue approval from the State to issue a RFP for eligible vendors. The RFP process will allow the Park and Recreation Department to enter into a long term, formal agreement with a private vendor to operate the site, and increase the likelihood of making this facility a permanent fixture. '\ ) Acknowledging the intent to conduct future mining operations, the Opa-Iocka West Airport site will likely serve, at best, as an interim solution. However, if the plans for mining do not come to fruition or an agreement can be reached that allows both uses on the site, this facility could have long term possibilities. NEXT STEPS After review by the MDCPRD and stakeholder agencies, the recommendations in this report were presented to the public at large at a meeting on July 18, 2007. Subsequently, the MDCPRD will brief the Board of County Commissioners on the results of the study, and request support to pursue grant funding through the State Di- vision of Forestry and the State DEP Office of Greenways and Trails for acquisition, design, and construction through upcoming grant cycles. The MDCPRD is in the process of establishing a strategy for pursuing two or more OHV recreation sites simultaneously. In the interim, the MDCPRD will continue to carry forward its intent to issue an RFP to select a private operator for the Countyline Motocross Park on a five-year lease. \ , 99 t. -. ApPENDIX: PROJECT TEAM Funded by a grant from DOF, WRT and its sub-consultants, Jack Terrell of the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Commission, and Scott Lamb P.E. of lamb and Associates, have been working on this feasibility study with the MD- CPRD since April 2006. WRT is a widely recognized planning and design firm with a long-time presence in, and in-depth familiarity of, Miami-Dade County. WRT has built a nationwide reputation for its planning and design of parks of all types and scales. Princi- pal Gerald Marston, FASlA, and Associate Silvia E. Vargas, AICP, lEED@ AP, served as the team leaders and project managers; Project Planner lindsey With- row, lEED@AP, conducted the site suitability analysis. These professionals also brought to the team their vast experience in conducting public participation and consensus-building processes. Jack Terrell served as the team's OHV expert. As Project Coordinator for the NO- HVCC, Mr. Terrell has been responsible for planning, and conducting Off-High- way Vehicle Recreation Management workshops for national, state and local land managers and landowners, and Association Development workshops for OHV enthusiasts and other recreation stakeholders. For the past six years, Mr. Ter- rell has been the Chair of the Florida OHV Advisory Committee, and previously served in a variety of committees and organizations dedicated to the advance- ment of responsible OHV recreation. Mr. Terrell has been a trail rider and cross country motorcycle competitor since 1960. Scott lamb, P.E., of Lamb and Associates Inc., served as the study's civil and environmental engineering consultant. In addition to his professional credentials, Mr. lamb brings to the team the experience of his long-time involvement in OHV activities, including but not limited to the NOHVCC (Florida State Representative); Florida Trail Riders (12 year member/racer); and American Motorcyclist Associa- tion (12 year member). Mr. Lamb also constructed and marked hare scramble and enduro trails (e.g. annual Croom, Richloam, and Daytona enduros and FTR Benefit Hare Scramble). The Consultant Team worked closely with, and under the direct supervision of the MDCPRD's Assistant Director for Planning and Development, Barbara Falsey, Chief of the Planning and Research Division, Maria Nardi, Park System Plan- ning Section Supervisor, Mark Heinicke, Park Planner 3, and James A. McCall, Park Planner 2/Project Manager. Prior to hiring the consultants, the Department conducted a preliminary background study on OHV parks throughout the Country, with an emphasis on the riding situation in Florida.

The Resolution supports the development of the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department's effort to create a recreation area, ~Iusive of Off-Highway Vehicle use, at the Transition and Training Jetport (1NT A.irpQrt) site located in Dade and Collier Counties, The Resolution is evidence of Collier~ounty Parks and Recreation desire to work closely with Miami-Dade County Park and R!lcreation Department to achieve Collier County goals and objectives related to increased locations to enjoy this recreational pursuit. As you're aware, Qlllier County has actively been in search of suitable park land to offer recreational and OHV activities. In 2003, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Colijer County entered into an agreement to provide 640 acres for all terrain vehicles (OHV) llCttvity and later amended the agreement in 2007 to provide a temporary site for OHV's a10~ with a pennanent site at Lake Trafford. While we have carefully investigated a number of other Conservation designated lands in Collier and Hendry Counties, it appears that TNT has great potential to meet pennitting requirements and establish itself as a premium off road destination for Dade and Collier citizens alike.

Thanks again for participating in the meeting whh the Div. of Forestry in June. Your statistics and explanations of the effects of ATV use on agrlcuhurallands were very convincing of our need for a legal ATV/OHV riding area, The Park and Recreation Department has decided to apply for a plannlng/feasibility study grant. The Department could potentially get granted up to $75,000 to conduct a county-wide site selectionlleasibllitylland compatibility study for ATV and OHV use, The grant Is due In mid-October, and we hear a decision on the grant in November or December of 2005, Assuming we get the grant, a potential feasibility study would likely be finished by late 2006, or early-to-mid 2007. I will stay in contact with you about this project. Please contact me with any questions.

AS a Native Floridian and a 25 year resident of Miami-Dade County, my love for our great state is DYING. one of the biggest problems is the amount of construction that has been 90i~g on in Florida. The cost of living and the opportunity to OWN your own home 1S Just gone thru the roof. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. My main reason for writing All of you in this FIRST OF MANY letters to come, is I and my fellow Off-Highway vehicle Cali-terrain vehicles) riders, NEED YOUR HELP NOW!!I see in Miami-Dade we can legally buy ATV'S however there is not legal area to ride. see my self and fellow riders enjoy spending time in the outdoors with our families and friends. Many of our riders bring their kids to enjoy this SAFE activity and give them the chance to enjoy what outdoors Miami-Dade has left. we understand that there are groups of BAD people who mess everything up for everyone, such people like the ones who steal machines, speed on the streets and run from the police. However this is as always a select FEW_.. This is not ALL riders as you and most people "stereotype." we need to work together as citizens and government officials, after all you are citizens as well. DOn't you enjoy the outdoors and our great state? see recently in the past r.ear we have been taking more heat from the r:1olice for riding and enjoying 'our" state. In Homestead for many years kids and families of all ages have been riding in area known as the HUMP. Recently we have been told that we will be arrested and charged with a Felony for riding in this area. so what I see happening is one of three things: 1.) You end up having hundreds of citizens from as young as 4 to as old as 65, arrested and charged with a felony. page 1 v.D.5b.7 Marc Lane - response ATV Riders NEED YOUR HELP.txt 2.) YOU have people breaking more laws and causin~ bi~ger problems. 3.) we work together and find a place for us to r,de ln Miami-Dade and enjoy the out doors. I was told that Miami-Dade parks was given a grant for 75,000 to find a place for ORV use. where is this money and what point is the process at? where are the public postings about this money and what's been done? The BENEFITS of establishing a riding area for public use of ATV'S are endless. It will provide the sport being legally practiced along with: . Conforming to State vehicle and Traffic Law' Environmental conservation. Impacts on natural and agricultural resources . Public safety as well as safety of riders . will deter illegal off-road ATV use. police man hours and court funds will be reduced. Revenue collected for use can be great for the state. Teenage crime static's will be reduced . Homeowner complaints will decrease significantly . promotes outdoor family activities Florida's off-highway vehicle laws and rules Section 316.2074 are intended to promote safety and protection for people, property and the environment but how can we exercise this legal right if we have NO riding area designated without the risk of receiving a citation, arrest and/or even impound of our All-Terrain vehicle. This Friday April 14th 2006 at 3:00pm EST. Local Miami-Dade ATV riding citizens will be joinin~ together on Bird Rd and sw 162ave to talk with the news about the loss of all the rlding areas. I ask each and everyone of you to PLEASE attend this peaceful rally to hear what we have to say. Governor Bush your presence in Miami-Dade county is needed as well. After all Miami is home to you is it not? . Sincerely, Marc Lane page 2 v.D.5b.7 Marc Lane - ATV Riders NEED YOUR HELP.txt From: Marc T.

Do not give up and let this small chunk of land be the only place you can ride. By working together you can accomplish much more.

Furthermost, I would like to express our gratitude to our fellow hunter, full-track and air-boat friends that extended the invitation to us and made our group and sport a part of this Community Event. Its incredible how 30 minutes each day on a microphone, spreading awareness of our sport and the lack of places our children have to practice it safely and legally while the state benefits in taxes and registrations congregated so many new faces wanting more information about the groups and cause. We raffled out shirts, handed out flyer's, stickers. Over all this weekend event was very very successful and brought many groups and sportsman's together. At the end we all concluded that regardless of the sport we practice we all want OUlDOOR FAMll..Y RECREATIONAL ACTIVrnES to remain from becoming EXTINCT and that we NEED SAFE AND LEGAL AREAS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS to prevent senseless deaths. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I hope to see you all again and the next event.

This could be a temporary solution to the crisis that Is facing participants of this very popular sporl, in particular the ones who are located In your district. Not having anywhere to ride Is very dangerous and encourages illegal activlly. Please help us provide a safe, legal place for these otherwise responsible citizens.

(DISTI); Caviglia, Silvia (DIST7); Kim, Inson (DIST7); 'JClauser@EFOF.org' Subject: Kid's Safety Week Mr. James McCall Parks And Recreation Department Your name was mentioned in a Miami Herald Neighbors Section article on Sunday in reference to possible ATV riding sites (Parks). I have been meeting over the past few months with people and organizations who are concerned with the escalating number of accidents, traumas and deaths revolving around what we call: "Kid Motorized Vehicles." This designation includes: 1) Off-road Dirt Bikes 2) Motorizes (battery powered) Toddler Vehicles (Barbie Convertibles etc...) and 3) ATV's of all types. We noticed that more of this type "toy," is being purchased for Christmas and the number of accidents have gone up exponentially. Prompted by growing number of these vehicles on city streets and busy highways __ are engaged in drawing a resolution that will call for one week in November to be declared .Child Safety Awareness Week." The Commissioners and other elected, expert and those charged with public safety -- will use this week to publicize (bring to the attention of parents and guardians) the responsibility that goes with the purchase of such vehicles. Also stressed will be the importance of "Buckling-Up" and using the proper auto restraint devices while transporting kids. The target age (Kids) 2 to 18 years of age. I have attached a draft of the Resolution, Our group convened by District 7, County Commissioner Carlos A. Gimenez, consists of the Metro-Dade Police, Miami Children's Hospital, The Epilepsy Foundation and the County Attorney's Office. Since you have been studying the possibility of legalized space to operate ATV -- we feel that a representative from Parks and Recreation Department should be on hand and a working member of the Resolution Committee. A large part of the awareness campaign -- logically - should come through our parks system. The campaign will seek to make parents and guardians think twice before purchasing a motorized -- non-street-Iegal vehicle for a child - unlicensed and under 18 years of age. If we can not persuade most to make an alternative purchase -- then we want them all to know that there are limited places to legally operate such vehicles and whole lot of safety equipment in recommended and a whole lot of personal supervision is required. We hope to convince some major retailers (Toys are US. Wal-Mart etc...) to join us in dissemination information to parents and guardians at the point of purchase. filp.:/N:\Proiect.\2009\09-00063 - Dade-Collier Park Amendment\Documents\Report\June .n 612J2009 Please email or fax any of your findings to date (possible ride sites) on this issue. We would also like Parks and Recreation to opine on the Draft Resolution. You or a designated Parks Representative will be invited to our next meeting.

It is truly a miracle that we did not lose this child to another tragic senseless atv death. Several OHV Groups and I will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that this Community fmally provides our children with a safe and legal riding area for them to enjoy this family sport. Mike was on of the lucky ones but not every case is such. Gus, Alan, Kyle and Walter are only a few of the children we have lost in the past year but they can rest assure we will continue our fight on there behalf. To those Commissioners such as Jose "Pepe" Diaz, Katy Sorenson and Joe Martinez and Mayor Alvarez that have handled this problem with such interest I thank you from the bottom of my heart and for those of you who still have not even returned a phone call I suggest you start listening to the needs of your REGISTERED VOTERS!

Description and Obiective ofthe issue: Lee County cunentlyhas no facility for citizens to ride All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) or off road motorcycles. As a result, there is widespread illegal use of both private property and public property by these users. Lee County has applied for and been awarded grants from the Division of Forestry ($70,000) and the I Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Green ways and Trails ($437,420). These funds are available to identifY a site, and develop an A TV and motorcycle facility for the express pwpose of providing safe recreational opportunities in an area which will not be detrimental to the natural environment. Amenities will include marked trails, restrooms, parking area, training area equipment washing area, and a small administration building. . 2. Proposed Policv. Procedure or Plan of Action BoCC give direction to Lee County Parks and Recreation to accept the grants and to identify potential OHV site or sites. This would be a Board policy decision as to whether or not this should be a duty of Lee County Government. 3. Options lList advanta~esI disadvanta~es of each ootion listed) OPTION #1: Allows Lee County to accept $507,420 to develop a plan to encourage OHV use in a recognized facility which is properly planned and developed. ADVANTAGE: Allows Lee County to offer approved site for OHV's and motorcycles. DlSADV ANT AGE: Lee County incurs financial burden of developing facility and potential liability. OPTION #2: Do not accept the grant and do not pursue an OHV Park. ADV ANT AGE: No costs to Lee County DISADV ANT AGE: Riders will continue to use public and private lands. 4. Financial Impacts I Funding Source Lee County has been offered two grants totaling $507,420 for the design and development of this project. Parks and Recreation has a total of $600,000 budgeted for the next 2 fiscal years in Regional Park Impact Fees to match the grants,. Appendix V.D.5b.8 Page 2 of 8 5. Staff Recommendations and Justifications for recommendations Staff recommends Option #1. OHV use is an extremely popular recreation activity in Lee County and is supported by the State and Federal Governments. Lee County ranks in the top five for numbers of participants in the State of Florida. In the last few years, Lee County has experienced an increasing number of riders trespassing in search of a suitable riding area. As such, public and private lands have been damaged by unsupervised activities and on several occasions there have been very serious accidents. 6. Mandated?

Washington Newsletter - May 2009 A new guide Sharing Our Trails is now available; recommendations announced to improve RTP; and more details about how you can help oppose HR. gaD, the ill- concieved Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act.

Posted: May 1, 2009 Participate Today in the OHV Route Designation Process The U.S. Forest Service is in the process of implementing its Travel Management Rule. The rule requires all forests to designate and map OHV routes and when completed, no OHV use will be allowed except on these designated routes. Now that individual Forests are in the process of implementing the rule, it is extremely important that OHV riders participate in this process. ARRA will continue to provide you with as much advance information about the designation process as possible.

They are responsible for greeting fellow OHV enthusiasts, handling emergencies and passing along information about backcountry travel on public land managed by the Forest Service. Operating under a volunteer agreement with the Ocala National Forest Association (ONFA) the Trail Ranger represents the U.S. Forest Service. They are official representatives of the Forest Service, but carry no law enforcement authority to enforce regulations beyond that of any other citizen. Their influence is felt through their knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to help others. They are a vital part of the Forest Service who have a high degree of commitment to responsible use of off-highway travel on public lands. Key Activities · Coordinate Forest trail maintenance with local OHV clubs, associations and community organizations. Operating under the Adopt-A- Trail Program, the rougher routes of travel for A TV, motorcycle, or 4WD are assigned to local organizations. . A group of trained volunteers patrol routes on A TV's, motorcycles, and 4WD vehicles. These volunteers make public contact to provide information, watch for illegal use, missing signs or hazardous trail conditions. · Special projects involve organizations or individuals who have only a limited amount of time to donate - only one or two days per year. Program Objectives To help off highway vehicle enthusiasts understand land and resource ethics, the Forest Service has developed a partnership with OHV user groups and industry to develop an OHV program.

How to Become an OHV Volunteer The OHV Volunteer Program is a partnership effort between the Ocala National Forests and the Ocala National Forest Association (ONFA). The ONF A manages the program for the partnership. The Partners have agreed upon the following requirements for Trail Rangers. . Have a strong commitment to the vision, mission, purpose, and objectives of the OHV Volunteer Program. . Complete and return the OHV Membership Form. . Demonstrate the ability to contact National Forest visitors in a courteous, informed and positive manner. . Complete required training provided for Trail Rangers. . Maintain your uniform in good condition and wear it only while on duty . Agree to a minimum of 90 hours of service per year (Host) or less than 90 hours for special projects. Individuals interested in the Trail Ranger Program may submit their names to the Webmaster at any time of the year. Orientation and training are conducted at least four times during the year, check the training calendar for Orientation/Host class dates and times. No one will be permitted to become a host candidate between training cycles - each volunteer must complete all of the required training. Background and History Visiting the Forest used to mean camping and hiking. But with the advent of today's sophisticated multi-terrain technology, there is a new and exciting world of adventure - the use of all terrain vehicles that can take enthusiasts to parts of the Forests few people get a chance to see. But with this new use of public lands, there was also a concern and need for ~ Appendix V.D.5b.12 http://www.onfa.orgffrailo/r)20Ranger%20Program.htm (2 of 3)5/8/2009 1:58:18 PM Trail Ranger Program public education of the principles of trail ethics. To help OHV enthusiasts understand land and resource ethics, the Forest Service, together with the Association developed a partnership with OHV user groups and industry to develop an Trail Ranger Volunteer Program. The objectives of the program are: to unite all concerned in safe, sensible use of OHV recreational vehicles and responsible land management; provide information and conservation education to OHV enthusiasts who visit the Forest; and promote the continued enjoyment of our Forests, for generations to come. The overall goal of the program is a more informed public and a more protected Forest.

Site MapJanuary 2, 2007 The dirt bikes and four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles that roar through the vacant sand dunes behind Terry Tillman's home in Jensen Beach annoy her and her neighbors. In fact, she is so annoyed, she wants to help the riders find someplace nearby where they can ride legally - without disturbing anyone. If no such place can be found, she wants to help build one. Tillman is trying to deal with a problem that is vexing government officials and law enforcement agencies on the Treasure Coast and across the state. "These people are trespassing," Tillman said about the people who ride ATVs and dirt bikes through the sand dunes behind the Publix on Jensen Beach Boulevard. "They are a plague on our neighborhood, and I wish they would stop." The problem has persisted for years, and it is not confined to Jensen Beach. Residents in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties have complained about noisy dirt bikes and ATVs. Tillman and others have complained to the Martin County Sheriffs Office only to be told there are not enough funds to patrol the area on a regular basis. Also, Tillman said, most of the riders are juveniles, and even if they get arrested, they are released to their parents. Environmentalists complain the vehicles damage the environment. They make trails over sand dunes and through fields and woods, disturbing wildlife with their noise and habitat destruction. State legislators took note of the damage and specified that any lands purchased for a riding area for off-highway vehicles must have been heavily disturbed by earlier uses. Meanwhile, the St. Lucie County Commission voted in December to opt out of another state law that allowed off-highway vehicles to be ridden on dirt roads in unincorporated areas of the county. The action came at the request of St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara, who said he was concerned about the safety of the http://www.t1oridamotorcyc\e.org/indcx.cfmlrcferer!contcnt.contentltemlID/I 75/item/7637/ (I of 5)5/812009 2:20:] 5 PM I-lorida Motorcycle Dcalers Association" Trespassing' ATY, dirt bike enthusiasts want room to ride riders on the roads, particularly at night. In Indian River County, Sheriff Roy Raymond is working with the County Commission to opt out of the same state law. "The off-highway vehicles are a major problem in our county," Indian River County Sheriffs Office spokesman Deputy Jeff Luther said. "We are having a lot of injuries and problems on private property." Martin County Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Lt. Jennell Atlas said her department is not considering recommending that the county opt out of the state law allowing ATVs on dirt roads. She said the county receives sporadic complaints, but there does not seem to be a major problem. Most people involved with A TV and dirt bike riders agree that having a place where the vehicles could be ridden legally would help. But when St. Lucie County Commissioners tried to establish an off-highway park at the St. Lucie County Airport in 2004, citizen protests and the potential costs and liabilities forced them to abandon the plan. Still, Tillman said she is enthusiastic about the possibility of helping find land where the bikers can ride legally. She plans to speak to the local state legislative delegation at a Friday meeting in the Martin County Commission chambers in Stuart to ask for state assistance. "I don't want to be someone who just complains," Tillman said. "I want the kids to have their fun, but I just want them to do it where they won't bother people." Tillman also has recruited Winn Peeples, lobbyist for the Florida Motorcycle Dealers Association. The association represents merchants who sell motorcycles, dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and other recreational motor vehicles. Peeples said funds may already be allotted for building riding trails and tracks in areas where there are not such facilities. The Office of Greenways and Trails in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, is involved in three projects that total $1.9 million. But none serve the Treasure Coast. "The Off-Highway Advisory Committee oversees the funds and selects areas for motorsport parks, and it meets quarterly," Peeples said. "I will try and see if they will hold a meeting in the Treasure Coast area to listen to people and assess the need." The idea of a special riding area for off-highway vehicles has real appeal to people who sell the machines. William Talero, operator of Moto Mania on Dixie Highway in Stuart, said he believes a park for off-highway vehicles would be a success. http://www.f1oridamOlorcycle.org/index.cfmlreferer/colltent_contentltemlID/175/itcmI7637/ (2 of 5)51812009 2:20:15 PM Florida Motorcycle Oealers Association - Trespassing' A TV, dirt bike enthusiasts wan! room to ride "I would be glad to join in any effort to turn that into a reality," he said. WHA T IS AN OFF -HIGHWAY VEHICLE? Florida laws defines an Off-Highway Vehicle (also called an ATV) or Off- Highway Motorcycle (also called an OHM) as any vehicle used off the roads for recreational purposes, which is not registered and licensed for highway use. . An ATV is defined as any motorized off-highway or all-terrain vehicle 50 inches or less in width, having a dry weight of 900 pounds or less, designed to travel on three or more low-pressure tires, having a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering control and intended for use by a single operator and with no passenger. . An OHM is defined as any motorized vehicle used off the roads or highways that has a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and is designed to travel with not more than two wheels in contact with the ground, but excludes a tractor or a moped. WHAT DO OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES COST? . Dealers say the price is based on engine size, and can range from $700 to $10,000. . In 2004, the last year statistics are completely reported, more than 1.4 million were sold annually across the United States. . Because they are not all licensed, no one knows how many there are in each state. . The Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles says it had 245,964 registered in 2004, but added that many more are not registered. Anyone wanting to ride on state or local public land must register the vehicle. LAWS GOVERNING A TVS AND OHMS . The T. Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act of 2002, provides the guidelines for operating such off-highway vehicles, and mandates the state to find at least three additional sites for such vehicle use in areas without such sites. . Such vehicles can't be ridden on any road in most of the state of Florida, and can't be ridden on any public or private lands unless the rider is over 18 years of age. Young riders must be accompanied by a licensed rider, and all riders must show written permission to be on private property. .

Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Grant Program 407 South Calhoun Street - Mayo Building, Room SB-8 Tallahassee, FL 32399-0800 Dear Sir/Madam: The Miami-Dade County's Aviation Department (MDAD) owns and operates the Dade. Collier Training and Transition (TNT) Airport. TNT is comprised of over 24,000 acres located north of U.S. Highway 41/Tamiami Trail. The operating airport consumes 8,000 acres and is surrounded by 16,000 acres of wetland marsh prairie, cypress tree islands, and man-made lakes. MDAD was approached in 2007 by the Park and Recreation Department (MDPR) to find a location for trails for off-highway vehicles (OHVs). The Aviation Department is nearly finished with a study that is recommending the highest and best uses for the 18,000 acres of property for revenue generation and resource conservation. The Aviation Department is amenable to OHV recreation as a potential activity in the approximate 1,450 acres of previously disturbed land south of the airport. In 2009 MDAD and MDPR executed a Memorandum of Agreement, and have since worked jointly on the planning and design of an OHV trail area south of the airport. Therefore, MDAD supports MDPR in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site appears to have the potential to support a regional OHV recreation area that will attract riders from allover South Florida. ~~iL--- Division Director, Real Estate Mgmt & Development Everglades Coordinating Council 22951 SW 190 Ave. Miami, FL 33170 October II, 2005 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services T.

Miami has a great need for off-highway vehicle recreational trails and riding areas. I have been approached by mothers and fathers who want a safe place for their children to ride ATVs and dirt bikes. There have simply been too many people injured in OHV accidents. along roadways in the county, and we are working toward a solution to the problem. I am working closely with my colleague, Honorable Jim Colletta, Collier County Commissioner to coordinate of planning and design of OHV trails at TNT that will benefit residents of both counties. Due to the importance of this project, I brought Collier and Miami- Dade COImty administrators and environmental regulatory agencies together and discussed the need to expedite this project. Our agency partners in this project include Big Cypress National Preserve, South Florida Water Management District, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, just to name a few. Again, I extend my support to Park and Recreation in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site can provide a safe place for children and adults to ride ATVs and dirt bikes, with designated trails and a family-oriented atmosphere. I underscore the importance of a regional OHV trail area for residents of South Florida, and urge the Committee to support this grant request. DISTRICT OFFICE. 8345 N.W. 12TH STREET.

Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Grant Program. This application will provide necessary funding for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permits for off-highway vehicle trails at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition (TNT) Airport located in Dade and Coiller Counties. Currently, there Is no public land available for OHV trails, or all-terrain vehicle use within Miami-Dade County and in Collier County. Land available for such use is not readily accessible due to the cost of land; difficulty in finding land that is not considered environmentally sensitive and some lands require special permitting. At the request of Collier County Commissioner Jim Coletta, Miami-Dade County Aviation and Park and Recreation staff made a presentation to the Board on the proposed use of OHV trails at TNT. Collier County Commission directed staff to continue to work with Miami-Dade in planning, design, and permitting of OHV facilities. The next step is to apply for land use approval for the site. Supporting the request of Miami Dade County Park and Recreation will allow them to continue work toward developing OHV trails at the TNT site for use by both counties' residents. Again, I extend my support to Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation in their grant request for planning work that leads to land use approvals and environmental permitting for OHV trails at TNT. This site can provide a safe place for children and adults to ride ATVs and dirt-bikes, with designated trails and a family-oriented atmosphere.

Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act" I feel my long standing involvement with Chapter 261, F.S. allows me credible input to this section of the report. In Chapter 261.02, F.S. it states that "The Legislature finds that off-highway vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in the state and that the use ofthese vehicles should be controlled and managed to minimize negative effects on the environment, wildlife habitats, native wildlife and native flora and fauna," The key words in this passage are controlled and managed. It goes without saying that without some funnaJized control or management of OHV use on public lands that there would be an inherent risk of negative impacts to the environment. It is for this reason that the bill was drafted and supported by such non-profit organizations as The Nature Conservancy to help safeguard environmentally sensitive areas through good sound land management practices. It was the intent of this law to get a handle of uncontrolled OHV use on public lands and provide outdoor recreation enthusiasts opportunities to ride in areas properly planned and managed to minimize negative effects on the environment. I find Petition Number CP.2009-01 to be consistent with the intent of the T, Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Vehicle Safety and Recreation Act. The fact that Miami-Dade County and Collier County l\l'e working together to resolve the problem of no legal riding areas for the residents of south Florida fully compliments the intent of the law. This petition helps to protect sensitive areas in south Florida by putting into effect 8 planned OHV riding area that will have both control and management. Thus making sure that - ~a.

The discussion addressed the rising number of deaths and injuries related to OHVaccidents, and the increasing damage done by'trespassing OHVs to agricultural lands and environmentally sensitive lands. The potential of having a new, large acreage property for the safe 'and legaJprovlsion of OHV trails for A 1Vs and motorbikes, camping, fishing, hiking and archery Was presented. , w P r o I e c t e , , Tllere was a consensus at this meeting that even thoUgll, the site .is iocated somewhat distant from the urban' areas of Nap'les and Miami, law enforcement agencies from both counties and the state would suppOrt opening a safe, cOunty-operatad 'recreation area with OHV trails. Miilmi-Dade Police Department is very supportive of this application to use the Dade-Collier Cypress' Recreation Area, and is interested in partriering with other law enforcement agencies to deter OHVs from areas of current illegal activity, educate the f?ublic, about the new riding area after it opens, and provide emergency response to the site as needed.

The Dade County Farm Bureau endorses the concept of a shared recreational resource between Miami-Dade and Collier counties that will provide residents with a safe area to legally operate Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs). The environmental impacts posed by the unlawful use ofOHVs in Miami-Dade County is particularly noticeable in the agricultura1 area outside the Urban Development Boundary. Farm fields are routinely used by OHV riders who destroy valuable cash crops. Environmentally sensitive areas are used for "mudding" especially during the rainy season. The fact of the matter is that there are approximately 24,000 OHVs registered in Miami- Dade and Collier counties. The owners of these OHVs do not have a designated area to safely and legally use their recreational vehicles. We believe that approval of Petition Area CP-2009-0l should be granted so that the conceptual project can move closer to realization. s~~~ Larry Dunagan President t~~ Executive Director Cc: Chairman Dennis Moss, Miami-Dade County Vice Chairman Pepe Diaz, Miami-Dade County ,\1// .:::.:::. ~.~ ~ .. ..

(MSA) retained Miller Legg to perform a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), on behalf of Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department, for the Plan Amendment (Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map) Petition CP-2009-1 for the Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area in Collier County, Florida. The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment application provides for a new Future Land Use District. This Traffic Impact Study (TIS) has been prepared in accordance with the current edition of the Collier County Transportation Planning Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures. Existino Conditions The Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area District encompasses approximately 1,608 acres of land located within Sections 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Township 53 South, Range 34 East, adjoining the Miami-Dade/Collier County line north of U.S. Highway 41 and south of the runway of the Dade-Collier Transition and Training Airport, and within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC). All lands within this District are entirely owned by Miami-Dade County and includes wetlands, cypress and hardwood forests, and five man-made lakes. Please see the project site in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Site Location Map Appendix V.E.1 c 2 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County. FL Prooosed Conditions The proposed site is located on the Dade-Collier County border. Access to the proposed site will share the existing service driveway for the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. The project entrance, site area, and adjacent roadways are shown in Figure 1. Tamiami Trail is a two lane undivided roadway connecting Miami to Naples, and continuing north to Tampa/St. Petersburg. The closest intersection to the project site is State Road 29, approximately twenty- eight miles to the west. State Road 29 continues north to 1-75. The primary purpose of this District is to provide an appropriate level of recreational uses beneficial to the County and the region while retaining the existing natural resources. Dade Collier CVoress Recreation Area Comorehensive Plan Amendment (Petition CP-2009-1) The uses allowed within this District, with limitations specific to this District, are as follows: 1. Visitors' center building - for administrative offices, orientation area, meeting room, and restrooms - not to exceed 2,400 square feet; 2. Parking lot limited to a capacity of 80 passenger vehicles and associated trailers; 3. Primitive Camping; 4. Recreational vehicle camping; 5. Fishing piers and docks; 6. Multi-use trails for pedestrians and bicycles; 7. Wildlife viewing platforms and overlooks; 8. Archery range; 9. Off highway vehicles (OHV) trails; and 10. Other uses as allowed in the Conservation Designation. The primary purpose of the TIS is to quantify the potential impacts, ensure compliance with the transportation concurrency requirements consistent with the plan and identify site related operational deficiencies that impact the health, safety and welfare of the traveling public. Appendix V.E.l c 3 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL METHODOLOGY STATEMENT The TIS has been prepared based on the methodology statement dated March 27, 2009 as amended per comment by Collier County on April 14, 2009. As requested in the May 5, 2009 sufficiency review letter for Petition CP-2009-1, the TIS has been prepared and is based on the following information, rules and criteria: o The TIS has been prepared by a transportation professional with training and experience in traffic analysis and transportation planning. Please reference detailed experience of the transportation professionals in Appendix LD.1. o The TIS will be prepared as a Minor Study which is defined as a site with "no significant operational impacts with minimal roadway impacts and work within the County right-of- way'~ o New traffic data collection was not collected. Traffic data was taken and used from the 2008 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). o Trip Generation was calculated per ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 8th Edition, Land Use Code 417, Regional Park. The trips were calculated based on the acres of park that plan to be deveioped. The acreage was determined based on The Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) Overlay. The ACSC requires that a site alteration shall be limited to 10% of the total site size. o Trip Distribution and Assignment was calculated based on the OHV title data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for Broward County, Miami- Dade County, Collier County, Hendry County and Lee County. o The Growth Rates were calculated using the actual linear historical growth rate for impacted segments or minimum of 2% linear rate whichever was greater. o Internal and pass by capture trips have not been incorporated into the analysis, the land use being proposed is not conducive to internal or pass by capture and due to the site location. o Level of Service Standards for all major road segments shall be consistent with the letter standards shall be consistent per the County's latest Adopted concurrency tables in the Annual Update and Inventory Appendix V.E.l c 4 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL TRIP GENERATION The trips generated from/to the site have been estimated using the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, the 8th Edition. The ITE land use code 417, Regional Park was used as indicated in the methodology statement previously submitted. Please see the trip generation calculations in Table 1. It should be noted that ITE land use code 416, Campground/Recreational Vehicle Park, has elements of some of the land uses being proposed on this site, but the trip generation data from the ITE Trip Generation, 8th Edition only has one independent variable from one observation based on site acreage. Site acreage is the predominant variable being used to calculate the Average Vehicle Trip Ends since Occupied Camp Sites have not been defined on a conceptual site plan. Regional Park The total project site generated trips of 24 in the AM peak hour and 32 in the PM peak hour are below the threshold of a minor study. The site has been operational in the last twelve (12) months but the existing trips generated to and from the existing site are minimal. Therefore vested trips and net trips from the existing use are considered negligible for this study. TRIP GENERATION (SITE USAGE) The site trips generated in Table 1 are a conservative representation of the traffic flow to and from this site. The existing and proposed use and intensity have been analyzed and summarized in Appendix V.D.5.B of the Growth Management Application for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. In addition to the proposed use and intensity analysis, a review of the seasonality and anticipated attendance patterns are included as Table 2. This further supports that the number of peak users will be small and variable due to the fact that not all uses will be used year round.

Users may also come from Hendry County, Lee County and potentially St. Lucie County, but for calculation purposes the three Counties of Broward, Miami-Dade and Collier have been used in the trip distribution and assignment of the site trips. The method for determining the trip distribution and assignment was outlined in the approved methodology statement that was reviewed and approved by Collier County. For this specific use and due to the site location, the most current version of the Collier County Model was not used. The trip distribution percentages have been shown graphically in Figure 2, and summarized in Table 3, per the Collier County TIS guidelines.

Due to the location of the site, manual turning movement counts (MTMC's) and daily directional machine counts for significantly impacted road segments were not requested to be collected for the signalized intersections. The TIS used the following Collier County Count Station Data: Appendix V.E.l c 7 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County. FL )> Count Station 97- US 41 (East Tamiami Trail) from SR 29 to Dade County Line )> Count Station 96- US 41 (East Tamiami Trail) from San Marco Drive to SR 29 )> Count Station 80- SR 29 from US 41 to CR 837 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC GROWTH/FUTURE TRAFFIC The traffic data used from the 2008 Collier County Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR, Figures 9 and 10) was increased by a growth trend factor (GTF). The 2008 FDOT MDT Traffic Count Tables (Figure 4), the FDOT Historical MDT Reports (Figures 5 and 6) published by the FDOT Transportation Statistics Office and the Collier County published AUIR Tables from prior years 2002 through 2008 were referenced in determining the linear growth rate. The committed trips were also included as part of the existing peak directional volumes as shown in the AUIR as trip bank or vested development trips. As mentioned, the FDOT Historical MDT Report data was used to determine the linear growth rate (trend rate) so that the future build-out traffic could be established. Data from each of the nearby monitoring sites located within the study area was fitted with a linear regression to determine the annual trend growth rate from 2008 to the projects design build-out year of 2016 (estimated). As mentioned, the back-up documentation of the average annual growth rate are included as Figures within this report. Due to the relatively flat linear growth rate using the FDOT Historical Data and Collier County published AUIR Tables, a conservative estimate of 2.0% growth per year was assumed as requested by Collier County. The GTF for the project trips at the site access driveway is calculated in Table 4 below, using the equation GTF = [1 + (Annual Growth Trend Rate/100)] ^ N, where N = number of years from date of traffic count to 2016.

Appendix V.E.1 c 8 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL ANALYSIS SCENARIOS The traffic analysis for the TIS will be limited to the following analysis scenarios as outlined in Table 9.1 of the Collier County Transportation Planning Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures: Scenario 1- Existing + project trips (2008); Scenario 2- Future-6 year build-out horizon, linear per growth rate (2016). The analysis included committed/vested trips on the roadway network based on the absence of approved but un-built surrounding developments. SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED ROADWAY SEGMENTS/INTERSECTIONS The proposed project highest peak hour trip generation based on the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic determines the limits of the trip distribution ilnd analysis per the TIS Guidelines. The trips distributed on links directly accessed by the project where the project traffic by direction is equal to or exceeds 2% of the peak hour service volume for the adopted LOS standard. For this plan amendment application/petition, the proposed project highest peak hour trip generation by direction (11 trips) based on the peak hour (PM) divided by the peak hour service volume (875 vehicles) provides the level of significance. This significance test for scenario 1 is for the project trips leaving the site, making a left and heading east on East Tamiami Trail/US 41 toward Miami-Dade County. The significance percentage for scenario 1 is 1.26%. The significance test for scenario 2 is for the project trips with background traffic (at the build- out year horizon) for the project trips leaving the site, making a left (11 trips) and heading east on East Tamiami Trail/US 41 towards Dade County. The significance percentage for scenario 2 is 1.26%. Please reference Figure 3 which graphically displays this volume information. The significance percentage for both scenarios per current traffic analysis is below the 2% threshold that would have required analysis of the next directly accessed link/segment (SR 29). There also are no signalized (major) intersections within 1,320 feet of the site access on the directly accessed link segment, East Tamiami Trail/US 41. Left and Right Turn Lane Warrants as outlined in the Collier County Transportation Plannin9 Department's TIS Guidelines and Procedures were reviewed as well. The results of these warrants are shown below: Appendix V.E.l c 9 of 24 Revised 8.12.09 Dade Collier Cypress Recreation Area - Traffic Impact Study Collier County, FL ~ Right Turn Lane Volume Threshold = 40 or more peak hour right turn trips into the project site ingress/egress ~ Left Turn Lane Volume Threshold = 20 or more peak hour left turn trips into the project site ingress/egress As displayed graphically on the exhibit in Figure 3, the build-out peak hour right turns into the site ingress/egress are 10 vehicles. Similarly the build-out peak hour left turns in to the site ingress/egress is 7 vehicles. Peak event operational analysis (i.e. peak hour of generator, weekend rates) is not required by the GMP Amendment review process at this time, but will be applicable at the time of Deveiopment Order (i.e. SDP) application or deferred to other appropriate application phase. Turn lane improvements may be required at that time. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The results of the TIS for this project site are that the review shows that the proposed site should be classified as a Small Scale Study which is defined as "No significant operational or roadway impacts': The criteria outlined in the TIS Guidelines for a Small Scaie Study is as follows: ~ The project generates less than 50 net new total 2-way AM and less than 50 net new total 2-way PM peak hour trips, and (CONFIRMED) ~ The access point to the adjacent roadway network does not require modification inside the Right-Of-Way above a standard driveway connection. (No turn lanes or median modifications), and (CONFIRMED) ~ The project is a stand alone project and not part of a larger development, and (CONFIRMED) ~ If the project uses a shared access point, the addition of the project traffic does not trigger any operational deficiencies or additional work within the right-of- way. (CONFIRMED) Therefore a letter from Miami Dade County has not been submitted as part of the TIS acknowledging impacts on US-41 since the peak hour directional project trip volumes are not over 2% (directionally) in Collier County.

The intent of this letter is to propose a methodology memo with assumptions for preparation of a traffic impact study for this site. The paragraphs below outline the background infonnation, assumptions, and proposed methodology for the Traffic Impact Study. Introductioll The Dade-Collier Park Amendment is a proposed amendment to the Collier County Growth Management Plan for +/- 1608 acres located north of U.S. Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail) at the Dade County Line. The existing site is part of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport j property owned by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. The proposed site is south of the existing runway, and contains mostly wetlands with some excavated lakes and dirt roads constructed wi!h the airport. The proposed park will include primitive campgrounds, an archery range, fishing (from lake banks only), and bird-watching. The trails connecting these areas will be designated for Off Highway Vehicles (OHV). bicycles. and hiking. Study Area The proposed site is located on !he Dade-Collier County border. Access to !he proposed site will share !he existing service driveway for the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. The project entrance, site area, and adjacent roadways are shown on the map on the next page. L Tamiami Trail is a two lane undivided roadway connecting Miami to Naples. and continuing north to Tampa/SI. Petersburg. The closest intersection to the project site is State Road 29. approximately twenty-eight miles to the wesl. State Road 29 continues north to 1-75.

'" '" ",' APPENDIX V.E.ld DRAINAGE Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area County Petition No. CP-2009-1 Appendix V.E.1d - Drainaae Existing Conditions: The proposed Collier Cypress Recreation Area (The Project) is located North of US 41 [Tamiami Trail) near 50-mile bend within the 24,480 acre property known as The Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (TNT) property. The Project site specifically occupies approximately 1.608 acres of the TNT property within and is bounded on the north by the existing airport [Approx. 1,000 acres) that includes a maintenance trailer, a single runway. taxiways and apron and to the west by an existing access road that links Tamiami Trail to the existing airport. The project site is currently in a semi-natural state; that includes wetlands, cypress and hardwood forests, except for the presence of five man-made quarry lakes, excavated in 1968 to provide fill for construction of the airport and access road to Tamiami Trail. Level of Service Standard (LOSS) Requirements: The Project is located in the Collier County - Gator Hook Strand Basin and within the Big Cypress Watershed Basin as shown in Figure 0-1. The drainage LOSS for this project must comply with the goals, objectives and policies stipulated in the Collier County Land Development Code (Chapter 6) and the Growth Management Plan (Future Land Use. Public Facilities Element-Drainage Sub- element and the Conservation & Coastal Management Elements). Further. the site is within the Big Cypress Area of Critical Concern, thus subject to review by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). In addition, given that the project site is greater than 40 acres and impacts existing wetlands within the Big Cypress Watershed Basin. the Big Cypress Basin Board and the South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) will have jurisdiction over review and approval of design. permitting and implementation of drainage/stormwater management systems at this site. At a minimum. the required project Drainage LOSS for the proposed development to attenuate water quality and water quantity requirements shall be as follows: Access paved drivewavs. parkina areas: The minimum elevation shall be above the highest stage [elevation) derived from stage-storage computations of the 10 year-24 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology. Minimum Finish Floor Elevation: The minimum lowest floor elevation for buildings/structures shall be above the established FEMA Flood Zone for the project site or the highest stage (elevation) derived from stage-storage computations of the 100 year-72 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology; whichever is higher. Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 at 3 Appendix V.E.l d Perimeter Gradina / Allowable Offsite Oischaraes: Perimeter grading along the project boundary shall be established at the maximum stage derived from stage-storage computations of the 25 year - 72 hour storm event using SFWMD accepted methodology. Proposed Improvements: The new project contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building [approximate 2200-2400 SF) to include, Administrative area (small office room). Orientation area, Restrooms and small meeting room [with media capability for training/orientation purposes) b. New Parking Lot for 80 vehicles. c. Camping: primitive and RV [but with minimal offerings - not for extended stay/luxury RV camping) d. Fishing: piers or docks. e. Off-highway vehicle trails (stabilized trails - at grade) for Off-Highway Vehicles [OHV) f. Multi-use trails (for hikers and bikers) g. Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook, or simply a cypress dome or tree island visible at a distance from trails) h. Archery Range The proposed development uplands may be concentrated along the western portions of the site in close proximity to the existing access road. Storm runoff from parking areas and other development uplands can be collected via drainage structures fitted with pollution retardant baffles and conveyed to dry retention areas for water quality attenuation per SFWMD criteria. The existing five quarry lakes were excavated in the 1960's without consideration of safety or littoral [shallow) shelf areas for fish and wildlife propagation and currently lack a littoral zone transition from the uplands to the bottom of the lakes. As part of the site improvements, the existing edge of the lakes might be improved with a shallow littoral zone to enhance fish and wildlife. In addition, the restored lakes will provide controlled surface storage capacity for stormwater management. The drainage system from developed areas may be conveyed to the existing lakes after water quality requirements are achieved in dry retention areas and subsequently released through controlled means [control structures, spreader swales) in a manner similar to the natural surface flow regime of the area. There are existing trails, previously created by swamp buggies that traverse the project site primarily in an east/west direction. As part of the proposed site development. restoration/realignment of these trails, enhancement of compliant trails and modification of trails to passive uses are projected in order to increase overall compatibility with historical sheet flow patterns from the Big National Preserve to the Everglades National Park. Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 2 of 3 Appendix V.E.1 d The drainage and stormwater management systems for the project will be designed considering site constraints and opportunities but in unison and compatible with environmental site assessments. development and mitigation strategies. environmental enhancements and regulatory requirements.

FINANCIAL CONSULTING File: Mll-24 Date: August 25, 2009 To: Kevin Asber, AlCP, Supervisor, Special Projects - MDPRD From: Julio Menacbe (MSA) Copy: Andy McCall, CMS (MDPRD) Jill Coben, RLA, AICP, LEED AP (MiIler-Legg) Arsenio Milian, P.E. (MSA) Reference: "Dade--Collier Cypress Recreation Area District" Subject: Collier County Staff Report - Review Comments We have reviewed the subject staff report ("the report") for the referenced project; particularly related to drainage comments contained on page 9 (attached for ease of reference) of the report and offer the following clarification: 1) The penultimate paragraph on page 9 of the report states that "...the drainage plan Indicates that the perimeter of the property would be bermed limiting sheet flow across the site from the surrounding areas..." The drainage section prepared by MSA and submitted as part of the GMP Amendment application (Appendix V.E.l D - Drainage) does not propose "a berm" along the perimeter of the property. I believe the reviewer's comment may be stemming from a rigid interpretation of the minimum level of service requirements for perimeter grading stated in the last paragraph of page 1 in Appendix V.E.1D as NORMALLY required by the SFWMD. In reality. the final proposed grades along the perimeter of this project site will (at a minimum) need to consider: Analysis of pre vs. post- development stormwater modeling per SFWMD criteria taking into account restoration of historical sheet flow across the site in a manner similar to the natural surface flow regime of the area AND the regulatory constraints imposed by the myriad of regulatory agencies that will have jurisdiction over the stormwater system for this project. 2) The penultimate paragraph on page 9 also states that "... This plan also Indicates the existing borrow pits would be used for stormwater management which will require underground piping and dry retention for pretreatment resulting In further wetlands impacts... " The use of dry retention areas and the existing lakes is offered only as an option that MAY BE used for this project for attenuation of stormwater quality and quantity requirements. It is really premature at this time; without comprehensive boundary & topographic surveys, final site plans and environmental site assessment(s) to determine final method(s) of stormweter management systems (i.e. dry and/or wet detention/retention systems. etc.) that will satisfy development opportunities and yet minimize wetlands impacts. I think; however, that all throughout Appendix V.E.1D and particularly in the last paragraph on page 2, Miami-Dade County clearly offers a commitment to the design of a stormwater management system in compliance with regulatory agencies yet sensnive to the protection and enhancement of existing natural resources. .,\{:praj)\mJHI4.to-park\m<mK>'",IIpOI1..to...,llioreountydraJnas;e_t.o8.Z!.OP,dOCl< APPENDIX V.E.le SOLID WASTE Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area County Petition No. CP-2009-1 Appendix V.E.le- Solid Waste Existing Level of Service Standard (LOSS): The Collier County Growth Management Plan - Public Facilities Element (Solid Waste Sub-element) and section 6.02.08 of the Collier County Land development Code has established the following Solid Waste Facility Level of Service requirements: a. The LOSS for capital solid waste disposal facilities is 2 years of constructed lined cell capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous five (5) years. and 10 years of permittable landfill capacity at the average disposal rate for the previous five (5) years. b. The determination of public facility adequacy for solid waste disposal facilities shall be based on the following: 1. The required public facilities are in place at the time a final site development plan, final subdivision plat, or building permit is issued. 2. The required public facilities are under construction at the time a final site development plan, final subdivision plat. or building permit is issued. 3. The required public facilities are guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement that includes the provisions of subsections 1. and 2. above. Existing Collier County facilities include two franchise collection areas and three recycling centers. as follows: a. Naples Recycling Center b. Marco Recycling Center c. Carnestown Recycling Center d. Unincorporated County Service Area and Immokalee Transfer Station e. Collier County Landfill Proposed Improvements: The proposed Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area (The Project) contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building (approximate 2200-2400 SF) to include. Administrative area (small office room), Orientation area.

Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook) h. Archery Range. Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 of 2 Appendix V.E.l e Per Appendix V.D.5b, it is estimated that approximately 14,300 people will visit the site on a yearly basis. Using the EPA's daily average solid waste production rate of 4.6 Ibs per person. the waste production at the Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area is calculated as follows: 14,300 people per year / 365 days per year = :1:40 people per day 40 people per day x 4.6 Ibs per person per day = 184 Ibs per day = 36 tons per year The closest waste recycling facility to the project site is the Carnestown Recycling Center [facility) located on US-41 in Everglades City. However, after discussions with the Collier County Solid Waste Management Department (CCSWMD), it was determined that this facility does not have the capacity to service the project site. Therefore, two other facilities were identified for waste disposal: the Collier County Landfill and the Immokalee Transfer Station, shown on Figure E-1. It is projected that approximately 184 Ibs of solid waste will be produced daily at the project site. Given the remoteness of the proposed development, the CCSWMD indicated it is outside of the collection routes performed by both the City and/or County. Therefore, it is anticipated that collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclables generated from proposed development activities will be conducted by an approved private solid waste hauler under contract with the property owner.

Please refer to Appendix V.E.2 - Figure 1 for a location of all these public facilities. This map was obtained from the Collier County GIS/CAD Mapping Section. and represents all the public facilities in Collier County as of April 2009. Proposed Improvements: The proposed Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area (The Project) contemplates the following development characteristics: a. New Visitor's Center Building (approximate 2200-2400 SF) to include. Administrative area (small office room). Orientation area. Restrooms and small meeting room (with media capability for training/orientation purposes) b. New Parking Lot for 80 vehicles. c. Camping: primitive and RV (but with minimal offerings) d. Fishing: piers or docks. e. Off-highway vehicle trails (at grade) for Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) use. f. Multi-use trails (for hikers and bikers) g. Wildlife viewing opportunities (could be a platform or overlook) h. Archery Range. The proposed improvements will require the services of local emergency medical stations, fire protection and law enforcement. A description of each of these is provided below. The project site will not have an impact on local schools, as is not proposed for residential use. Emeraencv Medical Services: The proposed Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area is located under the EMS 60/61 Zone, which encompasses most of the eastern portion of Collier County, as shown on Figure 2 of Appendix V.E.2. In addition, Figure 3 of Appendix V.E.2 shows the location of all EMS Stations in Collier County. The closest station is located approximately 50 miles from the project site, in Everglades City. Therefore, the proposed development will be serviced by Collier County's EMS Station No. 61. located at 201 Buckner Avenue in Everglades City. The current LOS for EMS services as specified under the 2008 AUIR is for 8 minutes travel time for urban areas and 12 minutes travel time for rural areas 90% of the time, requiring 1 unit for 16.400 people. Since the proposed development expects an average of 14.300 people per year. the impact on the overall EMS Plan would be minimal, with a maximum of one additional unit for the EMS 60/61 zone. Fire Profecfion The proposed development is located within the Ochopee Fire District Boundary. as shown on Figure 4 of Appendix V.E.2. Furthermore, Figure 5 of Appendix V.E.2 shows the location of all existing and proposed fire stations within the district. Ochopee's Fire Station No. 60, located at 201 Buckner Avenue in Everglades City, is the closest (50 Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 1 of 2 Appendix V.E.3 miles) fire station to the project site. The current LOS for this facility is 4 minutes per 1.5 mile radius as depicted in Figure 6 of Appendix V.E.2. Law Enforcement The project site is located within the Collier County Sheriff's Office District 7 [Everglades). as shown on Figure 7 of Appendix V.E.2. The closest Sheriff's Station is located at 32020 Tamiami Trail East in Ochopee. approximately 43 miles from the site. near the intersection of Tamiami Trail and CR-29. Please see Appendix V.E.2 - Figure 7 for graphic reference. As stated on the 2008 AUIR. the LOS for Law Enforcement is 1.96 officers per 1,000 people. There are no major impacts expected from the proposed development to the current Law Enforcement LOS. Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area Page 2 at 2 Appendix V.E.3 Co~er County t::.... ~_ - - Bureau of Emergency Services Memorandum FROM: Mr. Thomas Greenwood, Principal Planner Community Development and Environmental Services Division Dan E. Summers, Directopti5J. TO: DATE: November 9, 2009 RE: Petition CP-2009-1, Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area, District Growth Management Plan Amendment - Bureau of Emergency Services response to questions raised during the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) October 20, 2009 Transmittal Hearing Collier County Bureau of Emergency Services received correspondence and phone communication from Mr. Thomas Greenwood, Principal Planner for Collier County CDES regarding the Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area GMP petition. Emergency Services staff has reviewed the petition in its entirety, which was heard by the CCPC at its October 20, 2009 continued transmittal public hearing. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services acknowledges that the site of the proposed "Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area" is a remote wilderness recreation site and response times from both Collier County and/or Miami-Dade County will not mirror typical urban or rural response times. Collier County has a standard emergency response time for rural areas such that 90% of calls will be responded to in less than 12 minutes. Estimated arrival times for fire and emergency medical services may range from 28 to 38 minutes, depending on the respective availability of aircraft, ground ambulances and fire apparatus. It is not feasible or cost effective at this time to mandate or provide on-site professional fire and EMS services or traditional level of service standards for this location. Therefore, Miami-Dade County must provide adequate notice (e.g. on-site signage, on-site orientation to visitors, brochures, website) so that occupants/visitors are aware of limited cell-phone wireless communication networks at this site. Similarly, adequate notice must be provided to inform visitors as to the location of a land-line phone to summons emergency assistance. Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services has no objection to the petition, but requests the following stipulations be met: 1. That a primary helicopter landing site be provided on stable soils or suitable pavement materials, that Is at least 125x125 ft. square for daylight operations only at or near a location that provides the primary access to the ATV riding area. It should be noted that the Miami-Dade Jet Port or TNT (Training and Transitional Airport) should be referenced as an alternative helicopter landing zone, not a primary, as this is not a tower-controlled airport facility. Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation staff has indicated that adequate soils or existing fill sites are sufficiently elevated for this effort. Collier County will make available technical support for review and selection of these landing sites. However, if upon field verification a suitable site cannot be found at the location identified as containing adequate soils at an 8075 Lely Cultural Parkway' Naples, Flonda 34113 . 239-252-3600 . FAX 239-252-3700 . www.collierem.org Letter to Thomas Greenwood November 9, 2009 Page 2 appropriate elevation, then a paved landing pad will be required at the discretion of Collier County with all costs borne by the operator. 2. Miami-Dade County has stated that the park will be attended by Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation staff when the site is open for wilderness ATV activity. Miami-Dade county reported that personnel would be on-site and capable of first-aid and patient stabilization of an injured ATV rider. This first-aid effort should include a suitable ATV or utility type vehicle that could be used to transport EMS personnel to the accident/injury site, or transport a properly packaged and stabilized patient under the supervision of EMS personnel to a suitable site for ground ambulance transport or helicopter. Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation staff indicated it was likely that their park attendant would have off-road vehicle resources for basic first-aid assistance. 3. Miami-Dade County's designated park attendant shall have radio communications, which shall include a base station when a semi-permanent or permanent park office is established, mobile vehicle mounted radio and hand-held portable radio all with both Miami-Dade County 911 and Collier County Sheriff's 911 frequencies. In addition, the site may want to have Federal and State Park and Forestry VHF communications capability - funded by Miami-Dade County - as an alternative form of communication. It was reported that cell phone coverage presently provided only by Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile may not provide a completely reliable cell phone network for emergency communications. Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation staff indicated that additional two-way radio equipment could be acquired to ensure communications with Collier County, Ochopee Fire, Federal Parks, or Miami-Dade County as needed. 4. Should Miami-Dade County elect to conduct rallies, races, or other high capacity/high census events, Collier County shall have the first right of refusal to provide on-site standby paramedic services in accordance with Collier County ordinance. After the first full year of operation, and annually thereafter, Collier County will evaluate the calls for service to determine if the calls for service to the park warrant a change in response methodology. The re-evaluation may, at the discretion of Collier County, generate a need for other supplies, equipment, communication resources, or ATV type units or tools to ensure reasonable delivery of emergency medical care in this remote setting. Such evaluation shall not affect the approval or long-term operation of the site by Miami-Dade County, but shall mandate coordination and emergency response support from Miami-Dade County Parks Department should It be needed for the continued consistent and safe delivery of emergency services by Collier County. Miami-Dade County shall fund all reasonably necessary public safety needs Identified in the annual re-evaluation as a means to facilitate the long-term operation of the site. Funding to address necessary public safety needs identified in the annual re-evaluation shall be included and considered in the Interlocal Agreement being proposed to be executed by Miami-Dade and Collier Counties, should the application be approved. Letter to Thomas Greenwood November 9, 2009 Page 3 In conclusion, Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services, which includes in its Division, the Ochopee Fire Department, Collier County EMS, Collier County MedFlight and the Department of Emergency Management, has no objection to the petition but requests the above stipulations be considered.

Its residents are spread across approximately 2,305 square miles, of which 2,025 square miles are upland areas that include substantial County, State and Federal lands within protected parks. Like other Florida Counties, its residents engage in a variety of recreational opportunities in those same protected parks. Included among these activities is Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail riding. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) tracks the number of newly titled OHVs in the state, Between 2002 and 2008, they have registered an increase of 5,560 new vehicles registered within Collier County alone (Exhibit I). Although Collier County has one tenth the population of larger and denser counties like Miami-Dade and Broward, it has registered almost 50% as many new riders in the last few years as its larger neighbors.

Exhibit 2 shows that the over 12,000 registered OHVs within the County are uniformly spread throughout the developed area. While the demand for OHV trail riding is growing, the locations where riders can freely access these open spaces and trails remains low. Exhibit 3 shows that there are only a limited number of places within the State of Florida for OHV trail use. The State lists only nine (9) publicly owned OHV facilities and only one, Big Cypress National Preserve, is within Collier County. Big Cypress National Preserve allows a maximum of only 2,000 annual permits to access the Preserve at anyone time. As evidence of the increasing demand for trail access, the National Preserve is presently undergoing public review to add over 75,000 acres of newly acquired land for OHV trail use. Two other sites, the Holey Land and John Corbett WMAs, are near Collier County but allow OHVs for hunting use only. The remaining public facilities are located in more distant northern areas of the State. The State lists an additional twenty-two (22) private facilities, with the majority located over 150 miles north of Collier County. Two (2) facilities are located in adjacent Miami-Dade County, but these facilities cater more to specialized motocross and drag racing vehicles than traditional three- and four-wheeled OHVs. Many private facilities do not offer recreational trails that are easily enjoyed by traditional OHV trail riders. The result is a current Stale Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan that recognizes that Collier County is among the more deficient areas in South Florida for motorized trail riding.

Once it was acquired by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in order to facilitate the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP), it was not available for public OHV use. As part of its acquisition and closure, a 2003 agreement between Collier County and SFWMD provided that the District would endeavor to find replacement lands in and around Collier County. According to a Supplemental Agreement signed by the respective boards of Collier County and SFWMD, the District was tasked with identifYing a temporary site for OHV enthusiasts prior to a permanent site being developed at Lake Trafford. The Supplemental Agreement was crafted to further define responsibilities of SFWMD to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners from a 2003 agreement between the two governmental entities. Along with certain input from Collier County staff, several sites in and around Collier County were identified for consideration in meeting the original obligation of 640 acres of land for OHV use. The following sites have been presented by SFWMD, but no other site than the Lake Trafford site has been identified to fulfill this commitment. The following pages describe six sites identified and evaluated by Collier County staff in order to fulfill the commitment from the Collier Board of County Commissioners (Map I). A seventh site is mentioned as well, but is located in Charlotte County, well north of the Naples area. Each site's location, acreage, characteristics, opportunities and constraints, and potential for development as an OHV recreational trail area are described.

A non-profit, religious organization owns the site, and at one time identified it for sale. SFWMD expressed interest in the property and the non-profit took it offthe market. The non-profit organization plans to continue to utilize the site for rock mining, as a means of revenue. Aerial 1 Hendry County Site Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 6 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 2: Temporary A TV Site on Northern County Boundarv The 1,291 acre site was initially identified as a temporary site in the attempted 2007 Supplemental Agreement. It is located on the north end of Collier County, 3 miles southwest of Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest; and is composed of a 885-acre parcel privately owned by Alico Land Development Corporation and a 406-acre parcel publicly owned by the State of Florida. The private parcel was proposed as a lease site to SFWMD for operation of an OHV park. Aerial 2 Temporary A TV Site As part of due diligence, there were certain environmental concerns regarding the presence of the Crested Cara Cara (Polyborus plancus audubonii), an endangered native bird species found to be located on the property. During later discussions, the time involved in mitigating the environmental concerns, along with meeting zoning requirements to operate this location as an OHV. site exceeded the timeframe allotted by the lease. The site was ultimately determined not to be a viable candidate for an OHV park. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 7 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 3: Lake Trafford Site This approximate 625-acre site is located northeast of Lake Trafford, in the northwest comer of the lmmokalee Urban Designated Area (Aerial 3). It is an approximate 30-45 minute drive for most Lee and Collier County residents. The site is designated Low Residential Subdistrict in the Immokalee Area Master Plan. The proposed use of this site for OHV s was publicly discussed in a number of venues. Aerial 3 Lake Trafford Site The site was filled in 2005 and 2006 with dredge spoils removed from the bottom of Lake Trafford. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is the current owner. The 2007 amended agreement providing that Collier County could become the owner of the site for future use as an OHV park. On September 27, 2005, however, the County rejected this site after soil tests showed that the Lake Trafford dredge material placed on the site is contaminated and the site may not be economically feasible for the intended OHV use. The temporary Lake Trafford site identified in the attempted 2007 agreement was abandoned after environmental concerns were raised with the Collier County Environmental Advisory Council. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 8 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 4: Oil Well Road Site A 654-acre site located a half-mile west of Oil Well Road, on the north side of County Road 858, is privately owned by Winchester Lakes Corporation. The site lies adjacent to neighboring developments, and although the size, configuration and condition of the property would support OHV use, the site was not pursued since the cost associated with purchasing the property greatly exceeded expectations. Aerial 4 Oil Well Road Site Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 9 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 5: 1-75lHighwav 29 Site A 3,066-acre site located near the southwest comer of the junction ofInterstate 75 and Highway 29 is fully owned by the State of Florida and assigned for Park and Recreation and Transportation purposes. Its location, configuration and proximity to the existing State and National Park properties makes it a viable candidate. However, State agencies have not been open to allocating this high value property for the purposes of OHV trail use, particularly since it is very close to the Big Cypress National Preserve expansion area. Aerial 5 1-75 Site Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 10 of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 6: Dade/Collier County Airoort In the late 1960's, Miami-Dade County, along with other South Florida counties, sought to build a jetport capable of serving the area. Through federal assistance, approximately 24,000 acres was acquired for the construction ofa supersonic runway and related infrastructure. By the mid-1970's, a two-mile lone runway had been constructed, but the project faltered and was abandoned as a major airport. Through 2009, the property was managed as an ancillary takeoff and landing airport, and will continue to operate, with no plans for expansion of facilities. Aerial 6 Dade/Collier County Airport Over the years, the majority of undeveloped land surrounding the runway has been used by area sportsmen riding in off-road vehicles to access hunting and fishing locations. In 2009, Miami-Dade County proposed using the southernmost 1,600 acres to support a wilderness park that would include formally developed OHV trails. In furtherance of this proposal, Miami-Dade County filed a Growth Management Plan Amendment (CP-2009-01) to seek authorization to convert the site's use from aviation to park and recreation. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page II of 14 December 29, 2009 Area 7: Redneck Yacht Club This 800-acre privately-owned site is located at 44570 Bennont Road, three miles east of County Road 31 and east of Punta Gorda, Florida. A fonner agricultural plot, it was opened for public use on weekends since January 2009 as an ATV park. In addition to ATVs, OHVs, swamp buggies, and 4-wheel drive vehicles, this site also accommodates hundreds of tents, campers, and recreational vehicles. Newspaper reports indicate that trails, mudding, camping, riding areas and events at the site draw as much as 15,000 guests during holiday weekends. The absence of many sensitive natural areas permits the site to be fully used by visiting vehicles. The relatively high admission cost of $30/day and up, and the 60- to 90-minute driving time to the site for Naples area residents make this site an impractical solution.

After eliminating sites whose size, location, ownership, cost to acquire and ability to develop were not favorable to Collier County, only the site south of the Dade-Collier County Airport evidenced any advantages. Until the County and District are able to identifY and allocate a suitably sized and located property, this is the preferred off-highway vehicle site for Naples area residents. Appendix V.D.5b.2a Page 14 of 14 December 29, 2009 APPENDIX V.D.Sb.4 PRIOR SITE CONDITIONS Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area County Petition No. CP-2009-01 Appendix V.D.5b.4 - Prior Site Conditions Prior to the late 1920s, there was little to no disturbance in the area of the site, due to its swampy characteristics and isolation from developed areas at the time. The dredging of Tamiami Canal and construction of U.S. Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail) from 1926-29 were the first impacts to the area. A series of aerial photos on the following pages shows how human impacts have caused disturbance to the site, making it an anomaly when compared with properties in the surrounding area. Since 1940 or before, this property has been traversed by off-road motorized vehicles for purposes of hunting, fishing, and camping. The 1940 USGS aerial map shows the early swamp buggy trails heading north from U.S. 41 through the site and continuing several miles in a northeasterly direction. Major impacts were made to the 1 ,600-acre subject site between 1968 and 1971, with the construction of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport runway to the north. The 1969 aerial orthophoto shows the series of large north-south lakes created for purposes of making the runway. The limestone substrate was blasted with dynamite and removed for fill, creating deep lakes with surrounding fill pads and lime-hardened maintenance roadways. The 1969-1971 aerials show not only the developing airport runway infrastructure, but also an increasingly larger footprint of recreational trail structure created by swamp buggies as the site became more easily accessible by the public. From the 1970s through the 2000s, the aerial images show that the network of recreational trails remains, as the site is regularly traversed by motorized vehicles for recreation. The 1 ,600-acre site differs greatly from surrounding properties due to its past disturbance. The property has historically, and continues to support off- highway vehicle use, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, and camping.
