The meeting of the Bayshore Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee was called to order

1. Roll Call: Present: Advisory Committee Members: Maurice Gutierrez, Dwight Oakley,
Victoria Nicklos, Carolyn Cochrane, Jerry Buck, and Victor Brittain.
MSTU Staff Present: Jean Jourdan, Sue Trone, Project Managers, and David
Jackson, Executive Director (late).
2. Approval of Agenda: Mr. Gutierrez asked for a motion to approve the agenda: Motion:
Mr. Brittain. Second: Ms. Nicklos. Approved 6-0.
3. Adoption of Minutes: Mr. Gutierrez asked for a motion to approve the April 7, 2010
regular meeting minutes. Motion to approve: Mr. Buck. Second: Mr. Brittain. Approved
6-0.
4. Projects Report:
a. South Bayshore Drive Construction Plans. Ms. Jourdan explained that the work
order for Agnoli Barber and Brundage (ABB), the consultant contracted to work
on the project, had expired. Ted Tryka, the project manager from ABB was
present to propose options for going forward.
Mr. Tryka proposed a $0.00 change order. The slow progress in permitting has
come from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) which
requires that ditches maintain enough width to protect existing water flows. ABB
has worked out engineering concessions that the SFWMD permit is now ready
to be issued.
The current hold up is with Collier County Transportation due to County
protocol which defers to FDOT standards. These standards would require the
sidewalk to be approximately 8' in some sections.
Mr. Tryka presented the Advisory Committee with three options for the change
order:
Misc. Cores:
1. Engineer the pathway to vary in width between 8' and 10' as necessary;

2. Move the road to take up all public right-of-way in the west so that the 10'
path can be made without deviations;
3. Make the path 8'
Motion to make the path 8' throughout made by Ms. Nicklos. Second by Mr.
Buck. Approved 6-0.
Mr. Tryka anticipated it would take 4 months to complete the project and
provide plans to have for present for bid. Mr. Tryka agreed to return on July 19
to the committee with a presentation of ABB's progress and to present 100%
complete plans on September 1. The work order will be extended to September
20.
With regard to the landscaping to be incorporated with the South Bayshore
project, Mr. Oakley recommended contacting Scott Wyndham or John Carson
of the Botanical Garden. Mr. Oakley volunteered to make the necessary
arrangements.
5. Old Business: None.
(Break for refreshments)
6. New Business:
a. MSTU Master Plan. Sue Trone introduced John Ribes of JRL Studios and Jeff
Curl of JC Studios who led a kick-off discussion about the MSTU master plan.
An aerial photograph with MSTU boundaries was displayed as the discussion
about the master plan progressed. Mr. Curl first touched on the topic of
boundary expansion: the group was asked about expanding to include
Thomasson to US-41 as well as the Gateway Triangle Area. The group agreed
that at this time, expansion is probably not well-advised; however, in the future,
the public-right-of-way along Thomasson up to US-41 may be taken into the
MSTU, if not areas along Avalon. There was no interest in incorporating the
Gateway Triangle.
Discussion next concerned sidestreets and the treatment of sidestreet
prototypes. The first issue of concern involved implementation. Mr. Oakley
despaired that, until the present, unless 50% plus one residents agree to
pursue the implementation of beautification improvements, such improvements
cannot be implemented. Mr. Oakley asked if there was a way around this and

Mr. Ribes offered that if the master plan were to be adopted into the Land
Development Code this could be possible. Mr. Oakley was interested in this
and expressed interest in cooperating with the CRA to get the MSTU master
plan and the CRA overlay revisions in order to facilitate this process. He also
expressed interest in the two groups (CRA and MSTU) in meeting together.
Other topics discussed included: on-street parking, public artwork, public
exercise stations, pedestrian walkability.
7. Public Comments: None.
8. Advisory Committee General Communications: Mr. Buck asked about banners on
Bayshore Drive and why many light poles do not have banners. Mr. Buck
recommended banners be installed on all lights if possible. Mr. Jackson offered to
make contact with the designer at the Botanical Garden to get the project started if a
quote came in at under $5,000. Motion made by Mr. Oakley. Second: Mr. Buck.
Approved 6-0.
