Hearing Examiner Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed dock facility that is currently under review by the Collier County Hearing Examiner. The applicant's agent has stated the waterway is approximately 384 feet wide and the proposed dock, including vessels, would extend about 68 feet into the waterway. This proposal aims to meet criteria ensuring at least 50 percent of the waterway width remains open for navigation and the dock itself does not exceed 25 percent of the waterway's width. Staff concurs with the applicant's assessment. The project involves meeting specific navigational requirements for a dock facility. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for contractors and suppliers specializing in marine construction, dock building, and related services to engage before final plans and permits are issued. Early involvement can provide an advantage in securing future work related to this project.
