Collier-Miami Dade riding area.

This is an important meeting regarding this project.  Everyone in this area should try to attend.


Thanks for expressing to me the State Off-Highway Vehicle Advisory Committee's interest in knowing the date, time, and location of the land-use amendment transmittal hearing.

The proposed amendment (CP-2009-01) to allow a 1,600 acre recreation area inclusive of trails for OHV motorized recreation at the Dade-Collier Cypress Recreation Area site will be held next Tuesday, January 19th in the Collier County BCC Chambers (3301 East Tamiami Trail/US 41), beginning at 9 AM.  CP-2009-01 is fifth on the agenda, so an estimated time of the item being presented and voted on is anywhere between 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM.  The four items preceding CP-2009-01 may be fairly short, so it will likely be around 9:30 or 10 AM.  The attached BCC Special Agenda has more detailed information.

Collier County Contacts:
    Mr. Barry Williams, Director, Parks and Recreation Department (239) 252-4035

    Mr. David Weeks, AICP, Growth Management Plan Manager, Comprehensive Planning Department (239) 252-2306

Would you please pass along this information to the State OHVAC?  If anyone needs MapQuest driving directions, I will be glad to provide them.

Sincerely,

$337,000 just for zoning fees. Then, construction/maintenance costs. When it's all said and done, there will be way too many Mad Max-type mutants out there getting it closed down before too long.

Don't hate the player, Hate the game.

Today at the meeting, The Collier County Board of Commissioners approved by a 4-0 vote to send this to the Dept of
Environmental Protection.  One more win for us.
