The LDC allows one wall sign for each unit in multiple-occupancy parcels and two wall signs for corner(or end) units provided the signs are not on the same wall. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: The subject property, Del Mar Shopping Center, is located in the Wildwood Estates PUD (Planned Unit Development) Ordinance Number 81-27, at 7785-7795 Davis Boulevard, in Section 4, Township 50 South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida.

The requested Sign Variance is to allow for a second wall sign for each unit. The configuration of the Del Mar Shopping Center is unique in that the buildings are located adjacent to Davis Boulevard with parking and primary access to each unit provided on the opposite or what is normally the rear side of the development. The project is the commercial component of the Wildwood Estates PUD and is located on the tract B portion of the master plan. Comparable shopping centers are most often configured with parking and primary access directly adjacent to major roadways with the buildings toward the rear with a single public façade. The configuration of the Del Mar Shopping Center effectively orients to both the Davis Boulevard and the adjacent residential developments in the Wildwood Estates PUD, which the applicant notes is consistent with "New Urbanism" design principals. This configuration results in the single wall sign for each unit being located for the most part on the more visible Davis Boulevard side of the project. The north or residential side of Del Mar contains the parking and principal unit entrances that are limited to simple name and address/unit number lettering on each unit entry door. This as noted in the application results in patron (public) and delivery confusion. The applicant also notes that the development was designed architecturally to be "double faced", meaning that it has two public facades each of which have accommodations for wall signs. This petition requests additional wall signs on this north or residential side of the project. (see aerial of the project on next page). Because the requested wall signs on the north side of the shopping center face the internal Wildwood Estates residential neighborhood staff recommends as a condition of approval that the signs not be illuminated (see recommended condition of approval 4). Staff notes that one of the end units has an existing permitted second wall sign (see recommended condition of approval 1). Additionally one of the units has an existing permitted illuminated sign on the north side of the project(see recommended condition of approval 2). SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: Developed multi-family residences, with a zoning designation of PUD, (Wildwood Estates PUD). East: Developed single family residences, with a zoning designation of PUD (Twelve Lakes PUD). South: Davis Boulevard ROW, then developed single family residences, with a zoning designation of PUD (Cook Property PUD). West: Developed community facility, with a zoning designation of PUD (New Hope Ministries CFPUD).

The GMP does not address individual Variance requests but focuses on the larger issue of the actual use. The Wildwood Estates PUD is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Based upon the above analysis, staff concludes that the proposed use for the subject site is consistent with the Future Lan d Use Element, although the Variance request is not specifically addressed. ANALYSIS: Section 9.04.00 of the LDC gives the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) the authority to grant Variances. The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) is advisory to the BZA and utilizes the provisions of Section 9.04.03.A through 9.04..03.11 as general guidelines to assist in making a recommendation. Staff has analyzed this petition relative to the evaluative criteria and offers the following responses: SV-PL20130000818, Del Mar Shopping Center Sign Variance August 9,2013(revised 8-13-13,8-14-13,8-16-13,8-21-13) Page 4 of 8 a. Are there special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the location, size and characteristics of the land,structure or building involved? Yes. The double sided building configuration noted above is a special condition peculiar to this project. As noted in the application, the developer of this project in an effort to front the internal residential development north of this commercial tract as well as Davis Boulevard, combined with the LDC limitation in the number of allowed wall signs, results in public and delivery confusion. b. Are there special conditions and circumstances which do not result from the action of the applicant, such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property, which is the subject of the variance request? Yes. The applicant notes in the application that the current owner did not construct the project. The unique "New Urbanism" design layout was constructed by the original owner. Additionally, the location of the project on a curved portion of Davis Boulevard (which limits the access options) are pre-existing conditions relative to the property. As noted above the resulting layout in effect requires each unit to decide on having a public sign on Davis Boulevard or a public/delivery location sign facing the principal access and parking lot. c. Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDC work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties for the applicant? Yes. If a literal interpretation of the LDC were applied, only one wall sign for each unit is permitted. Furthermore, the lack of signage on the north or parking lot side of the development will create inconveniences and burdens to the public. d. Will the variance, if granted, be the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of health, safety and welfare? Yes. The purpose of the requested Sign Variance is to allow for an additional wall sign for each unit that is otherwise not permissible by code. The additional wall signs will face the internal parking and access area of the project. Furthermore, the additional signage granted by the proposed sign variance will aid patrons (the public) in identifying the various retail and service providers at this development. e. Will granting the variance confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district? Yes. A Variance by definition confers some dimensional relief from the zoning regulations specific to a site. The granting of the Sign Variance request would allow for additional wall signs. This sign variance confers a special privilege on the applicant. SV-PL20130000818, Del Mar Shopping Center Sign Variance August 9,2013(revised 8-13-13,8-14-13,8-16-13,8-21-13) Page 5 of 8 f. Will granting the variance be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this Land Development Code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare? Yes. Section 5.06.01.A. of the LDC states that the purpose and intent of the LDC relative to signage is to ensure that all signs are: 1. Compatible with their surroundings; 2. Designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not endanger public safety or unduly distract motorists; 3. Appropriate to the type of activity to which they pertain; 4. Large enough to convey sufficient information about the owner or occupants of a particular property, the products or services available on the property, or the activities conducted on the property, and small enough to satisfy the needs for regulation; 5. Reflective of the identity and creativity of the individual occupants. In staff's opinion,the request for the additional wall sign advances these objectives. g. Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the goals and objectives of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf courses, etc.? Yes. There is an existing masonry wall and landscape buffer plantings located between the Del Mar Shopping Center and the adjacent residences to the north. The wall and landscape serve as a physically induced condition that to a degree mitigate the additional signs requested with this petition. h. Will granting the variance be consistent with the Growth Management Plan? Yes. Approval of this Variance petition would be consistent with the GMP since it would not affect or change any of the GMP's requirements. EAC RECOMMENDATION: The Environmental Advisory Council does not normally hear Variance petitions and did not hear this petition. COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney Office has reviewed the staff report for SV-PL2013000818 on August 21, 2013. SV-PL20130000818, Del Mar Shopping Center Sign Variance August 9,2013(revised 8-13-13,8-14-13,8-16-13,8-21-13) Page 6 of 8 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward Petition SV- PL20130000818 to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) with a recommendation of approval subject to the following conditions of approval that have been incorporated into the attached resolution: 1. The current business located in the western most unit is permitted one additional non- illuminated wall sign on the wall facing the parking area, for a total of three wall signs. In the event this current business moves or vacates the unit, any future tenant shall be limited to a maximum of two wall signs. 2. Unit 108 currently has an illuminated wall sign that faces the parking lot. The existing wall sign is permitted to be retained until the sign is removed or replaced or the current business moves or vacates the unit. 3. A total of 35 wall signs are permitted for the Del Mar Shopping Center, which represents 16 additional wall signs, exclusive of conditions 1 and 2 above. 4. All signs facing the parking lot (north side of the shopping center) except as noted in condition 2 above shall not be illuminated. Attachments: A. Application B. Draft Resolution.

The equestrian riding therapeutic program falls into Conditional Use nineteen (19), sport instructional schools and camps located on agriculturally zoned parcels less than 20 acres in size. Additionally the equestrian stabling facility is listed as Conditional Use twenty four (24). The development is currently operating with an approved Conditional Use, CU-Resolution 2000-63 (see attachment), which provides the same two conditional uses listed above however it is limited to lot 21. This petitioner is requesting that the two conditional uses be expanded to lots 20 and 19 (see conceptual master plan on previous page). This area generally contains both residential and agricultural uses with RSF-1 and Ag zoning districts. According to the petitioners' application the mission of Naples Equestrian Challenge (NEC) is to improve the lives of children and adults with special needs using therapeutic riding and equine-related programs. NEC was established in 1995 at its current location and has been an internationally accredited organization since 2000. In January of this year NEC initiated an equine-assisted program for retired military veterans suffering with post- traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and amputation. Currently NEC operates within the limitations of the current conditional use approval which as noted above is limited to lot 21. Currently NEC operates at or near its capacity to meet the needs of its current participants. NEC also uses lot 20 but is limited to horse grazing purposes only. The applicant anticipates that the additional facilities proposed with this CU petition will serve approximately 200 additional children and adults. The facility expansion will allow the various programs noted in the application to operate more efficiently using the two separate riding arena/ring areas and central grazing/principal paddock area.

Relevant to this petition, the Urban designation allows agricultural activities as defined in the Land Development Code (LDC). Section 2.03.01.A.1.c of the LDC identifies the proposed uses as Conditional Uses within the Agricultural zoning district. Based on the above analysis, staff finds the request for Conditional Uses#19 and#24 of the Agricultural zoning district consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan. Transportation Element (TE): The Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) indicates that the adjacent roadway network has sufficient capacity to accommodate this project within the 5 year planning period. Therefore, the subject application can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan(GMP). CU-PL20110000719 Page 5 of 10 NAPLES EQUESTRIAN CHALLENGE CONDITIONAL USE July 29,2013(revised:8-12-13,8-14-13) Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME): Staff finds the project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). This project was not required to go before the Environmental Advisory Council Board (EAC) as it does not meet the required criteria for review by the EAC as found in Division 23, Section 2- 1193 of the Collier County Code of Ordinances. ANALYSIS: Before any conditional use can be recommended to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), the Planning Commission must make a finding that: 1) granting approval of the conditional use will not adversely affect the public interest; 2) all specific requirements for the individual conditional use are met; and 3) satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the following matters, where applicable: 1. Section 2.03.01.A.1.c.3 of the LDC permits conditional uses in the Agricultural Zoning District. The requested use to expand the currently approved therapeutic equestrian riding and stabling facility onto two additional parcels is permitted as conditional uses in the Agricultural (A) Zoning District, subject to the standards and procedures established in section 10.08.00, Conditional Uses Procedures, of the LDC. 2. Consistency with the Land Development Code and the Growth Management Plan. As noted above, this proposal is consistent with the applicable provisions of the FLUE, the Transportation Element and the CCME Element; therefore the petition is consistent with the overall GMP. With the conditions of approval included by staff, the proposal may also be found consistent with all of the applicable provisions of the LDC. 3. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. As shown on the Master Concept Plan vehicular access to the site is provided on Center Street. With regard to traffic on public right-of-ways, Transportation Planning staff indicates that they have reviewed this petition and determined that there are no outstanding issues concerning vehicular access and traffic control. 4. The effect the Conditional Use would have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic or odor effects. The proposed therapeutic equestrian riding and stabling facility has been in operation on lot 21 for several years as discussed above. It is staffs opinion that the development will continue to address issues resulting from these operations as part of standard best practices procedures as currently observed. Noise and glare from these operations will not be greatly expanded from the current operations with staff recommended conditions of approval 1 and 2. Economic and odor effects should not be greater and relative to CU-PL20110000719 Page 6 of 10 NAPLES EQUESTRIAN CHALLENGE CONDITIONAL USE July 29,2013(revised:8-12-13, 8-14-13) some of the allowable uses in this zoning district less than those possible in the agricultural district. Based on the current operation of this facility and the information provided by the applicant staff is of the opinion that the proposed project will not generate additional noise, odor or otherwise generate economic impact on the neighborhood. 5. Compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district. As previously noted the site is surrounded by single family residential, agricultural and PUD zoned lands all of which are developed parcels Staff believes that with the recommended conditions and the limited operating hours proposed by the petitioner, the project will continue to be compatible with the neighborhood. Staff therefore believes that the propose Conditional Use to allow an expanded therapeutic equestrian riding and stabling facility may be deemed compatible with the neighboring properties. Furthermore, staff believes the recommended conditions of approval adequately protect the public's interest NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM): Wayne Arnold, agent for the applicant opened the meeting at 5:35 p.m. and introduced himself and Sharon Umpenhour with Q. Grady Minor and Associates, P.A., Kim Minarich, Executive Director of Naples Equestrian Challenge (NEC), Brian Dickerson, Attorney representing NEC and Michael Sawyer representing Collier County Growth Management. Six members from the public, as well as several employees of NEC and Board of Directors members of NEC were in attendance. A sign-in sheet was provided. Mr. Arnold began the information meeting by introducing the project and explaining where the project was in the Conditional Use process. Wayne then explained that the existing NEC facility had been previously approved through the Conditional Use process and the proposed expansion to include round riding arena, multi-purpose room and stables required a new Conditional Use. An aerial and site plan were displayed and the areas on the site plan were explained as to what would be where and how it would be utilized. Wayne discussed the existing and proposed relocation of the ingress/egress points in response to discussions with neighbors prior to the informational meeting. Kim Minarich took over the meeting and discussed the removal of an existing cottage to improve the ingress/egress point on Center Street making this the primary access to NEC. Kim explained that there could be an ingress/egress point on Ridge Drive but for emergency vehicle purposes only. Wayne asked Kim to please describe how the organization currently operates and what the proposed expansion would provide to the community and organization. Kim explained their mission statement and how the organization began and how the program has been utilized and expanded over the years. Kim also explained that NEC was an applicant for a HUD Grant and that there were requirements for the grant for the non-profit organization CU-PL20110000719 Page 7 of 10 NAPLES EQUESTRIAN CHALLENGE CONDITIONAL USE July 29,2013(revised:8-12-13, 8-14-13) Kim explained how the different programs worked and why the need for the Conditional Use. Kim showed on the Site Plan what the existing and proposed buildings would be and how they would be utilized. The additional lot would be utilized for housing 4 additional horses, feed storage and a covered riding area and that the need for the additional lot is due to the increased attendance of the therapeutic riding and other equine assisted therapy programs. The main arena is at capacity and cannot accommodate the need for additional program times. One of the neighbors expressed their opposition to the expansion onto Lot 19 but wanted to clarify that they did not oppose the existing facility and its programs, or expanded programs on the 5±acres currently owned by NEC. Mr. Arnold concluded his presentation and asked for comments or questions from the meeting attendees. Generally, questions were asked on the following major topics, Mr. Arnold and Ms. Minarich responded to the questions generally as follows: 1. Buffers/landscaping The buffer would consist of plant materials per LDC requirements. Mr. Sawyer indicated the minimum buffer would be a 15 foot wide type B buffer along Ridge Drive which would include trees on 30 foot centers with a hedge. 2. Parking/traffic Ms. Minarich provided estimates of existing vehicle trips to the site based on the number of 30 minute riding sessions were provided daily and volunteers required for the program participants. Ms. Minarich indicated that the figures had been provided to Collier County based on a daily hourly estimate. The willingness to move the project access to Center Street was also reiterated. 3. Building size The proposed covered riding arena is a 75 foot diameter design with eave heights approximately 12 feet. The multi-purpose room is approximately 3,000 square feet. The stable area will be a 6-stall design of which 4 stalls are for horses and 2 will be used for feed and tack. 4. Project timeframe Ms. Minarich indicated that the proposed new facilities would be constructed once finances were available and suggested this would hopefully be in a 2 to 3 year time frame. 5. Facility operations CU-PL20110000719 Page 8 of 10 NAPLES EQUESTRIAN CHALLENGE CONDITIONAL USE July 29,2013 (revised:8-12-13,8-14-13) Ms. Minarich discussed in detail the grant application, which if awarded, would be used to acquire the subject property. Ms. Minarich also discussed NEC strategic planning and fundraising goals for the organization. Ms. Minarich explained the various riding programs offered at NEC and described how program needs have evolved to include a variety of equine related therapy. Mr. Arnold explained to the neighbors that they would be notified by mail of the hearing dates and that public hearing signs would also be posted on-site. Wayne then offered to provide any additional information if requested and to contact, Kim Minarich, Michael Sawyer or himself if anyone had further questions. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:40 p.m. COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney Office has reviewed the staff report for CU-PL201100000719 revised on August 14, 2013. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward Petition CU-PL20110000719 to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) with a recommendation of approval, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Caroline Martino 179 Ridge Drive Naples, FL 34108 July 25, 2013 Naples Equestrian Challenge Board of Directors do Mrs. Kim Minarich, Executive Director Naples Equestrian Challenge, Inc. 206 Ridge Drive Naples, FL 34108 Dear Kim: Thank you for hosting the Neighborhood Information Meeting of July 15th 2013. This letter is an attempt to document"what we heard"at the meeting and to clarify our position and thoughts regarding NEC's application for the pending Conditional Use permit. One of the primary reasons for this letter is to provide NEC the opportunity to clarify any items that we may have misheard or misunderstood so that all interested parties are working with the same data points. Apologies in advance if some of the letter is a bit stilted but my note taking is not as proficient as it used to be as I hopefully approach retirement age! Meeting introductory remarks (Wayne Arnold) 206 Ridge Drive CU permit approved in 2000. 2013 Plans call for: 194 Ridge Drive -CU so NEC can use sensory riding trail already in place. Looking to locate increase in overall parking on 194 Ridge Drive. 182 Ridge Drive—CU and covered riding round pen(75' diameter,with 5' high boarded sides and roof 12' at eaves), 3,000 sq. ft.(!!) `multi-purpose' training room & 6 stall stable (4 horses, 1 tack& 1 feed room) &paddocks on 182 Ridge Drive. No PA system in round pen;will have lights, but"low profile" (not as high as current arena). Following completed so far: filed application for CU on 194 Ridge Drive(Lot 20) & 182 Ridge Drive (Lot 19), received initial comment letter from Collier County, sent sufficiency letter back addressing minor comments at this point. Process : Neighborhood Information Meeting(completed July 15th) : Planning Commission hearing(est. September) : Board of County Commissioner's hearing(est. early October). July 25, 2013 Page 2 N.B. The initial draft rendering we were using as a baseline had already changed by the date of the NIM. Pending Action Item: We are formally requesting a copy of the most recent version of the NEC Master Plan drawings,and to be kept abreast of any changes to within 1 work week of any changes. NEC's need: NEC has grown the program from just therapeutic riding,to also include equine facilitated learning& equine facilitated psychotherapy. At the current time, still have `horse power' (horse capacity), but have maxed out scheduling time under the current arena. Over the past 18 months NEC has grown from 170 therapeutic riding participants to 450 therapeutic riding,EFPs and EFLs participants served per year. In order to add programs,need a second, smaller, facility to run concurrent programming and would like to add `interactive vaulting' (another PATH approved equine therapy, need round pen for that)—not resource intensive - 1 horse for 5 students (therapeutic riding is 1 horse for 1 student). There will be a training room for some volunteer training, summer camp, and also be used for PATH instructor training as a destination (income source). Additional reason for expansion beyond the riding facility is protect turn out space which is at maximum capacity by NEC's current formula. NEC's current growth projection is that the program will serve an additional 200 participants for an estimated end target audience of approximately 650 to 700 clients a year. Pending Action Item: We are formally requesting a copy of NEC's current Strategic Plan. Per Kim, this was adopted by NEC's Board of Directors in January 2013. Funding: NEC submitted grant request for County Development Block Grant(CDBG). Essentially HUD Funds—Federal -> State -> dispersed to Counties. This funding cycle,NEC was advised that "reprogrammable dollars"were available but with a very short application cycle time. NEC would qualify as their growth is intended to serve a larger target audience and that is the link to funding of the property purchase. NEC submitted application to purchase 182 Ridge Drive,received conditional approval, spoke to Mr. DeShetler(current owner), appraisal completed($520,000); HUD will fund appraised value only. Differences between appraised value &purchase price—donors have already agreed to loan NEC the money. Have contract now with Mr. DeShetler subject to conditional use permit approval and funding secured through CGBD. July 25, 2013 Page 3 CGBD funding will be subject to a successful approval process anticipated to be finalized in the County Commissioners (October)review of application& all qualifications. If no CGBD funding then NEC will not pursue the purchase of 182 Ridge Drive.NEC has to complete all contingencies (CU approval, grant approval etc.) and close on property by Oct 30, 2013. If CGBD funding granted,NEC will be audited by local office of HUD each year(20 year audit trail)to make sure they meet HUD requirement that 51%of all program participants are income qualified based on HUD recommendations. More than 51%of NEC participants do qualify to HUD's range. HUD's income requirements are for all program participants and not just those that would utilize facilities at 182 Ridge Drive. CGBD grant application is public information filed with County's Housing Department(Housing&Veterans' Affairs division). Action Item Pending: At meeting on July 15th 2013,Joseph requested and Kim agreed to provide him a copy of CGDB/HUD grant application. Estimated costs and progress: NEC has agreed a price for 182 Ridge Drive with the current owner Mr. DeShetler (total not stated in meeting)but has not yet estimated cost of"verticals" (buildings), infrastructure and all other capital expense related requirements. If NEC's purchase of 182 Ridge Drive is successful, NEC will then go through a more detailed budgeting exercise. The intent is to start a Capital Campaign to fund the project. The additional increase to the ongoing operating budget was not discussed. Training center& infrastructure costs to be determined. NEC has a lot of things they'd like to do with A/V in the training room but may not be able to do it at the onset e.g. "may not be able to have acoustical walls". At this point the budget is in very preliminary planning stages. After County approves a Conditional Use permit, construction must commence within 5 years (used to be 3 years) 5 years allows for permitting hurdles. Per Kim, if all went perfectly: complete purchase end October, launch Capital Campaign early 2014 (may take 1.5 years), possibly start e.g. round pen before fully funded. Estimate 3-3.5 years to completion. The increased target audience to be served by NEC's expansion plan cannot be served until certain parts of the construction are complete. Additional 6 stalls,round pen etc. It was stated that there is nowhere else in Collier County the anticipated new clients can get assistance; so it could be between 18 to 40 months before any service to additional participants could be rendered. Our understanding is that NEC Board Member, Dr. Virgina Condello owns a boarding stable of some repute. It is also our understanding that Dr. Condello is a board certified psychiatrist and, at NEC, has provided equine facilitated psychotherapy for veterans or other clients diagnosed with PTSD or similar challenges. This client segment is a significant part of the audience NEC is reaching out to work with in their growth program - and an admirable cause of which we are very supportive. July 25, 2013 Page 4 When queried why satellite programs could not be a part of NEC (conduct these therapeutic service on another property)we were informed that NEC had completed assessments/surveys to determine where current&potential riders/participants are located in Collier County. Not clarified whether satellite programs would be a viable option. Action Item Pending: At meeting on July 15th 2013, Joseph requested and Brian Dickerson (Board Member) agreed to provide a copy of the satellite assessment noted above. Our position: As already stated, we are very supportive of NEC activities and have been for the past 15 years. As a family the Martino's have given donations of time, materials and cash of circa $1 million. In addition, Caroline was instrumental in fundraising efforts which helped raise millions of dollars for NEC during her 10 year tenure as a volunteer with combined roles of President& Executive Director. With this in mind, the following will outline our thoughts on best to worst case scenarios as it relates to NEC's growth and expansion plans: Best Case: NEC stays within the current 5 acres and redesigns the complete landscape, building etc. to have an optimal operating program that blends in with the Pine Ridge neighborhood. NEC makes a business case for all the CU exceptions it needs to add additional horses, stabling etc. as well as constraining some of the "perfect ratios"of land to horse etc. it currently enjoys. Our estimation(personal and not substantiated)is that NEC will have to make a$2 million plus capital investment to realize the growth plans as currently expressed. We firmly believe that redesigning/re-optimizing the existing space (in collaboration with Pine Ridge Residents)will be the most fruitful and supported outcome for NEC, its current and future clients as well as sustaining a welcomed and integral role in the Pine Ridge Community. We also believe (personal opinion)that this re-optimization of the current 5 acres can be accomplished for far less money than is estimated(personal opinion)to complete the project as currently envisioned. Next best case:NEC receives approval to acquire the property at 182 Ridge Drive and redesigns the current plans for the existing property and proposed acquisition to achieve the envisioned growth, but making the 182 Ridge Drive just paddocks with no permanent structures. Obviously, this is a better `option 2' for the Martino's and the Kalb's than it would be for the Wesnofske's. However, for all three families, and for other Pine Ridge residents,the anticipated and also the exponential future increase in traffic in and out of Pine Ridge Estates will continue to be an obstacle to us `getting behind' this option. Worst case:NEC receives approval for its currently envisioned expansion plans. July 25, 2013 Page 5 Detailed concerns and objections: Currently NEC acts as a landlord for 2 buildings; 208 Ridge Drive and 194 Ridge Drive collecting approximately $2K per month, equaling $24K per annum(estimated not substantiated). The cost to service the leases (i.e. property taxes, general maintenance, repairs etc) does not seem to add much"profit" as a contribution to operational expenses. It does however seem to add a certain additional burden on staff time to properly service the tenancies. The square footage occupied by these 2 buildings is approximately: 3,000 sq. ft.total which could be dedicated to NEC's expansion program instead of recreating the same footprint on an additional piece of property. The property tax revenue generated for the county by the lease of these two building is approximately$2.1K per annum. If there were no tenants,NEC could claim 100%property tax exemption on both properties. Opinion—back to best case: it does not appear(on the surface)that leasing the buildings (208 Ridge Drive and 194 Ridge Drive), servicing them and paying taxes serves to make any meaningful contribution to annual operating expenses. Topically, it would seem that eliminating these two buildings and adding the additional acreage to enhance the current 5 acre design could be a more meaningful solution without the need for further land acquisition in order to achieve reasonable additional growth of the program and meet NEC's stated objectives. Access: The most recent plan (amended from the original which we were presented with prior to the meeting) calls for : • Maintaining the driveway from Ridge Drive into the house/office at 206 Ridge Drive • Eliminate the driveway from Ridge Drive into the house at 194 Ridge Drive • No driveway from Ridge Drive into 182 Ridge Drive • Elimination of the major ingress/egress entrance being used through the"shell rock driveway"at 194 Ridge Drive. This assumes the Guest House (208 Ridge Drive) is demolished and the Center Street access (2 way traffic)will be implemented as approved in the CU permit of 2000. The use of the shell rock driveway for the past few years has been a violation of the current approved Conditional Use permit. However,EMS requires secondary ingress/egress, so the shell rock driveway at 194 Ridge Drive will remain, but with a solid gate incorporated into the boundary ficus hedge. We agree and support that this shell rock driveway be abandoned as the "informal"major ingress/egress, but maintained and approved as an emergency ingress/egress and provide ad hoc access for major events or suppliers with major equipment needs. Although NEC has verbally agreed that the access will be changed back to Center Street,there was no committed time frame as to when compliance with the existing CU will happen, or if the change is independent of the success of the pending CU application. This correction/change was to be discussed at the Board Meeting Tuesday, July 16tH July 25, 2013 Page 6 Action Item Pending: Following the NEC Board Meeting on July 16th,we are formally requesting to be advised of the plan and proposed timeline for access to be changed back to Center Street. Landscaping/buffer: Mark Sawyer, Senior Planner, Collier County Department of Zoning and Land Development Review advised the closest code that would apply for NEC as a `community facility' would be for a`B"buffer—a series of trees and 5' hedge,the buffer required to be 15' wide, and normally a variety of plantings through the area. Grass and paddocks would"count" as a variety in the buffer zone. NEC is planning a `nice, thick ficus hedge' along fence line on 206, 194 and 182, and on Center Street too. (Our opinion) The current plantings, especially the existing ficus hedge, seem unlikely to ever develop as envisioned. Without adequate maintenance, irrigation and fertilizer this buffer screening can never hope to be adequate. Parking: We have significant concerns about parking. Our"best case" solution would be that all parking be moved to the Goodlette Frank Road side of property. Appreciating that this solution is not a preferred one by NEC,we suggest that parking planned around the house at 194 Ridge Drive is switched with paddocks around the main house/office at 206 Ridge Drive. It was noted that the structure (house)at 194 Ridge Drive is now, and for the future, designated as a residence/office building, and that any removal of same would not automatically provide for additional parking without seeking a separate CU permit. Parking space to horse ratio: This is a controversial topic and we will attempt to illustrate our concerns with the best data available. Action Item Request Pending: If NEC has better documented data on parking space to horse ratios,we request that they share this written information so that we can review and adjust our suppositions. Parking Space (`PS')to Horse Ratio: As exists today: Parking spaces 32 -#of Horses 10 PS->Horse Ratio 3.20 Prior to NIM: Parking spaces 73-#of Horses 14 PS->Horse Ratio 5.21 Overall a 128% increase in Parking Spaces *NIM Revision: Parking spaces 45, but this total excludes handicapped parking. * We have an objection to increased parking on a ratio basis. The increased growth and new target clients of NEC's expansion are stated to be less impactful to the organization so the Parking Space ->Horse ratio should reduce not increase. July 25, 2013 Page 7 NEC Assumptions: Parking spaces 52—45 standard and 7 handicapped parking spaces (handicapped parking spaces not included in ratio which would make the ratio 3.72). This was not clear in the meeting so apologies if we misheard the intent. **Our Proposed ratio: Parking spaces 40 -#of Horses 14 PS->Horse Ratio 2.80 ** Includes all handicapped spaces and does not allow for further expansion of additional parking should the office/residence structure currently on 194 Ridge Drive be demolished at some future point in time. All above assumptions on parking include full time staff, clients,volunteers,vendors etc. As an illustration, half of the Mission Square plaza(from Dunkin' Donuts to Noodles Restaurant) supports five(5)commercial businesses that generate individual income as well as tax revenue for the county and has only 100 parking spaces to service commercial client needs (including 2 food service establishments!) Traffic: Concern over increase in traffic in general: special concern about waiting to get out onto Goodlette Frank Road either way,but most especially turning North onto Goodlette Frank Road, and additional traffic in Pine Ridge Estates residential neighborhood. At the meeting,Kim informed us of the following data: A. Collier County looks at trips (in&out equal 2 trips)during `peak times'. B. NEC `peak times' are in line with Collier County `peak times'. Collier County is e.g. 4-6pm, and NEC is `after school'. For NEC, total of around 30 cars during `peak times' on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, so approx. 60 trips during this time including volunteers & staff. During day, some EFL&EFP 6 or 8 participants "so we don't have a whole lot of traffic out of here during the day time". Saturday traffic not mentioned. C. County measures trips on Goodlette Frank Road, and this is considered `low traffic generator'. Per Wayne, so far the County doesn't project a problem. *Our estimates based on NEC's schedule posted on the web site for 3 NEC peak times/days : Monday afternoon between 3:30-6:45pm —80 trips Thursday afternoon between 4:15-7:OOpm — 72 trips Saturday between 7:30am & 12:30pm —100 trips *Calculated results and experiential data, does not reflect complete schedule and summer camp programs, new EFL, EFP, normal staff and vendor traffic, or other current and anticipated therapeutic programs. July 25,2013 Page 8 We would be very supportive of data based traffic information from the County but on an "actuals"based property level. We would welcome a traffic tube counter program over an averaged time period that can be extrapolated to represent actual annual traffic patterns that include both high and low seasons. Unfortunately due the constrained time frames of the current NEC grant application process, and this being low season, such a program run at present(say now until October 30th)would not yield relevant results. Abstractions from Goodlette Frank Road traffic patterns are not relevant unless a traffic correlation to local streets is presented and proven. Concern: What are the projected traffic implications once NEC is running concurrent programs in the arena and round pen on the proposed additional property? (Our opinion) Saturday morning is 'peak time'in any residential neighborhood, and current 100 +/-additional trips presents a substantial additional `burden'on NEC's neighbors—the residents of Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge has only 2 access points on the East boundary of the neighborhood: ingress/egress on Carica Road North(south-only egress on to Goodlette Frank Road)and ingress &egress on Center Street(north & south on to Goodlette Frank Road). The North/South ingress/egress on Center Street does not have a traffic light. Increased volume of traffic would be the data point to install a traffic light—and Pine Ridge residents have historically been vocal in their opposition to installing a traffic light at this intersection. NEC participants: The following questions were posed with the following responses: Resident in Pine Ridge with some NEC affiliation as a: Board Members= 1 Staff=unknown/unanswered? Volunteers=unknown/unanswered? Clients=unknown/unanswered? Catastrophic circumstances: What would happen to the properties should NEC declare bankruptcy or cease to be able to operate as currently structured? The opinion proffered by NEC was that a bankruptcy judge would dispose of the debts and properties as per the then-current rule of law subject to zoning restrictions. (Assumption/Implication-Properties would still have Conditional Use for therapeutic riding and could be assumed by another non-profit or for-profit operator for therapeutic riding only, or would revert to Residential Agricultural use). Financial Observations: The Martino's purport that there are future financial impacts to themselves personally,to other families in the immediate vicinity, as well as an overall negative "halo effect" impact to the Pine Ridge Estates neighborhood property values based on NEC's current expansion plans. Wayne Arnold commented that elected officials understand the need for non-profits in the County and try and balance the charitable need served and the property tax revenue loss to the County. July 25, 2013 Page 9 Market Values & Tax Implications: Following is an illustration of the current Collier County assessed taxable market value for residences including and immediately surrounding NEC properties, compiled by the Martino's from information provided on the Collier County Property Appraiser's website.

Even extrapolating this to 20 years $160,000 revenue loss for the County does not seem unreasonable. As previously stated,we believe that NEC should cease being landlords and re-optimize the acreage they currently operate on, and not seek additional land acquisition in Pine Ridge. Our concern is not the property tax revenue loss, but rather how the market value of properties are affected,pointing to a more dramatic issue for certain families and with a `knock-on' effect for the County also.

The property at 209 Ridge Drive was purchased in 2004, built on in 2005 and the contiguous lot was purchased and combined into one address for a total of 3.32 acres. Over a 12 month time period(2005 to 2006), the market value of the combined properties encompassing 209 Ridge Drive increased from $1,333,011 to $6,238,020. As another illustration,the Collier County assessed market value of 215 Caribbean Road increased from $432,000 in 2010 to $2,014,789 in 2011 after the Kalb family had completed construction of their new home. We expect to be able to provide further examples of our premise that a `new build' on an existing Pine Ridge lot can significantly enhance the market value of not only the actual lot,but the properties in the surrounding area. This affects not only the property owners themselves, but also ultimately Collier County's `bottom line' for taxable value. Summary Opinion: Best case—NEC grows program with its current acreage and redesigns a Master Plan to accommodate same and does not expand by purchasing any additional land in Pine Ridge. Main ingress/egress is moved back to Center Street before the end of 2013. Appropriate landscaping that meets and is planted and maintained to best or better than County standards, with special regard to immediate neighbors and their view. Ratio of Parking Spaces to horses reduced to 2.80 including all handicapped spaces,maximum parking spaces of 40. Reduce scope of planned training building from 3,000 sq. ft. to 1,800 sq. ft. No additional Public Address systems (arena already has PA system installed); sound and lighting respectful of the neighbors' right to peaceful enjoyment of their homes and neighborhood. Worst case -NEC receives approval for its currently envisioned expansion plans.

However, the only relevant issues to address at this time are those germane to CU permit review and approval process. To that end,NEC has provided you with various documents/data you have requested; those that are public record and some that are not. More importantly,NEC has provided these documents directly to you as a convenience, saving you the time and effort necessary to file a public record request with the county. You will receive notification directly from the county regarding the Collier County Planning Commission meeting date as well as the Board of County Commission meeting date at which NEC's CU Application will be reviewed and voted upon.

Can you provide a date as too when I can expect to receive the 4 remaining open items? It would be most beneficial to receive these items soon so they can be reviewed prior to the PRCA meeting of August 27th. All parties having the same data will make for a more transparent and efficient communications process. Thanking you in advance. 1. COMPLETE: We are formally requesting a copy the most recent version of the NEC Master Plan drawings and to be kept abreast of any changes to within 1 work week of any changes. 2. OPEN: Pending Action Item: We are formally requesting a copy of NEC's current Strategic Plan. Per Kim, this was adopted by NEC's Board of Directors in January 2013. 3. COMPLETE: At the meeting on July 15th 2013, Joseph requested and Kim agreed to provide him a copy of CGDB / HUD grant application. 4. OPEN: Action Item Pending: At the meeting on July 15th 2013, Joseph requested and Brian Dickerson (Board Member) agreed to provide a copy of the satellite assessment noted above. 5. OPEN: Action Item Pending: Following the NEC Board Meeting on July 16th, we are formally requesting to be advised of the plan and proposed timeline for access to be changed back to Center Street. 6. OPEN: Action Item Request Pending: If NEC has better documented data on parking space to horse ratios, we request that they share this written information so that we can review and adjust our suppositions.

(Received July 25th-copy of HUD Grant application and the revised Site Plan) The attachments referenced in the HUD grant were not included in the file you forwarded. To insure that there is transparency and we are all working with the same data can you also send the attachments so we can review the 2 complete application. Looking forward to receiving this and actions to the other remaining 4 requests. I made some observations and comments on the attached site plan regarding parking and recalculated all the various parking related ratios. So as to be working with the same data points as NEC can you review the following numbers and confirm or correct as appropriate? Parking Space to Horse Ratio Horses PS Ratio Total Parking % Increase Standard Spaces HC Spaces SS to HC Parking Ratio Current Source Date 10 32 3.20 27 5 19% 1st Site Plan 3 Rev 1 7/2013 14 73 5.21 128% 66 7 11% NIM Verbal Plan 7/15/2013 14 52 3.71 63% 45 7 16% Revised Site Plan Rev 2 7/2013 14 63 4.50 97% 56 7 4 13% Neighbor Expression 7/15/2013 14 40 2.86 25% 35 5 14% Thank you in advance for your prompt response.
