BONITA BAY PRESENTATION CENTER MITIGATION PLAN PERMIT NO. 36-00289-S, APPLICATION NO. 180907-3

JANUARY 18, 2019

PREPARED BY: TURRELL, HALL & ASSOCIATES, INC. MARIELLE KITCHENER 3584 EXCHANGE AVENUE NAPLES, FL 34104 (239) 643-0166- OFFICE, (239) 253-1860- CELL [email protected]

Bonita Presentation Center- App. 180907-3 Mitigation Plan (1/18/19)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Bonita Bay Presentation Center Project is a 1.408-acre parcel, which was previously developed in 1995 as a sales center in Bonita Bay with associated parking (Application 950726-1). Under the previous permit not all of the 1.41 upland acres was cleared and filled. Some areas remained untouched as native habitat. Several years ago, the sales center was removed, and the pavement scraped up and disposed of to make room for new development. The new applicant is requesting to construct two (2) structures on this parcel with associated stormwater management for pre-treatment. The new development would for the most part lie within the old clearing footprint. A very minor amount of new additional clearing is needed to accommodate the water management system and building bulkhead installation, but all new clearing and filling lies landward of the 1993 DER Binding Jurisdictional Line.

The site is located on a peninsular island in the far west side of Bonita Bay with other development and golf courses. It is specifically situated in Section 29, Township 47 South, Range 25 East, Lee County, (site address 4701 Bonita Bay Blvd., Bonita Springs, FL 34134).

The amount of mitigation needed generated by project wetland impacts was determined using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM).

It was determined that the project generated a functional loss of -0.01 from secondary wetland impacts. In order to offset secondary wetland impacts the applicant proposes to purchase 0.01 credits of freshwater forested wetlands from Little Pine Island Mitigation Bank to prevent cumulative impacts.

Having surveyed the natural preservation areas throughout much of A large marsh surrounds this site to the south and west. A previously Bonita Bay in August, these transitional habitats are very common cleared building pad lies nearly 25 feet away. within this DRI.

It is Bonneted bat, Alligator, Osprey anticipated that if any of these species are utilizing the site it would be low intensity use and not nesting. Observed Evidence of Wildlife Utilization (List species directly observed, or other signs such as tracks, droppings, casings, nests, etc.):

No wildlife observations were made within the project limits or within the 50-60' outside of the currently cleared area. Further out into the wetland and marsh numerous wading birds, ducks and song birds were heard.
