Aerial photos of Hideaway and Tigertail Lagoon ID 19-732 Aerial photos of Hideaway and Tigertail Lagoon (January 28, 2020) The Board's goal after viewing the photos is to enlarge the lagoon and creating a better flow. Members of the Board are also interested on extending part of zone 2 to create better flow and water quality; however, the Board is limited because of the seagrass section near the zone. If that section was to disappear then they could expand it; however, the Board will need to submit a permit for it. c. Collier Creek Management Plan - Michael Poff Mlichael Poff, President of Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc., shared the summary points of the peer review that CEC performed of the County's Collier Creek Study and Management Plan. The County's numerical modeling was performed in accordance with industry standards. The County considered and assessed a sufficient number of alternatives. The County's proposal for a permeable terminal groin for the State Land Beach is consistent with CEC’s recommendation for a fourth T-groin on the State Land Beach. The structure should help stabilize the northern end of Hideaway Beach’s property. The County's removal and realignment of the terminal jetty is consistent with CEC’s recommendation to relocate the existing jetty. The realignment should improve navigation. City of Marco Island Florida Page 2 Hideaway Beach Tax District Board Meeting Minutes - Final February 13, 2020 With respect to the County's proposed Sand Management Plan, recommendations expressed in the County’s presentation and in the report are somewhat different in scale and magnitude; and should be clarified for the District. Mr. Poff referenced the email that he drafted to the City and Mr. Woodward, which Mr. Woodward forwarded to the Board members summarizing the meeting he attended at FSBPA with the County, their consultant, and the DEP engineer. The County stated they want to work with the City and District on advancing their long-term management plan for Collier Creek. The County does not object to the District's desire to expand the borrow area to the northeast parallel to Hideaway Beach. The County does not object to Hideaway renourishing their beach provided they do not overfill the template stating their concern is overfilling will aggravate the infilling of Collier Creek. The County wants Hideaway to put excess sand in the ebb shoal borrow area. The County does not support dredging Tigertail Lagoon. ID 19-737 2020 Hideaway Annual Monitoring Mr. Poff shared his proposal for the 2020 annual monitoring services, development of options for expanding the nearshore borrow area to the northeast, associated permitting with the expansion, and assisting the City and District with technical support services.
