A property owner is under review for a violation of the Collier County Land Development Code related to Bald Eagle habitat protection. The violation involves performing re-roofing work within 660 feet of a Bald Eagle nest during the nesting season, after a stop-work order was issued. This situation requires the owner to submit a Bald Eagle habitat management plan or comply with US Fish and Wildlife Service requirements. The process is currently under review by the Special Magistrate. This situation may lead to future compliance work, potentially including site development plan adjustments, variances, and the need for permits such as right-of-way, building, or demolition permits. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete, roofing, and general construction may find opportunities as the property owner seeks to correct the violation and comply with regulations. Early engagement with the property owner could provide an advantage before formal plans and permits are finalized.
