3. Lake side slopes shall be no steeper than 4:1 (horizontal:vertical) to a depth of 2.0 feet below the control

Hearing Examiner Meeting · 2026-04-23 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns proposed requirements for lakeside slopes within Collier County. Specifically, the proposal states that slopes should not be steeper than 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) down to 2.0 feet below the control elevation. From 2.0 feet below to 1.0 feet above the control elevation, these slopes must be nurtured or planted to encourage vegetation. This item is currently under review by the Hearing Examiner. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, grading to establish the specified slope ratios, and extensive landscaping or nurturing to ensure vegetative growth along the lakeside. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping services may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial before final plans and permits are issued.
