e. South Bayshore Drive Update
i. David Buchheit presented eleven questions that were brought to staff
by Mr. Oakley that listed his concerns about the 90% plans for the
Bayshore Drive improvement project. In a power point presentation
format, Mr. Buchheit gave answers to all of the questions, which
included responses that staff received from Collier County
Transportation Division staff. Then Mr. Buchheit entertained questions
regarding the responses. There was discussion regarding the
driveway widths, and Agnoli Barber Brundage (ABB) staff explained
the reason the driveway widths needed to be maintained (for code,
previous permits and/or grandfathering). Mr. Oakley then expressed a
desire to discuss the left turn lane at Bayshore and Thomasson Drives,
and the road lane widths. Staff and ABB both agreed that the left turn
lane could be removed. Mr. Oakley asked if he could have Brian
Holley, Executive Director of the Naples Botanical Garden, speak
regarding the possibility of a road expansion. Mr. Holley expressed his
desire to have the road lane width expanded from the existing 10 foot
to 12 foot wide lanes to accommodate the high volume of bus traffic
coming to his facility. He cited FDOT regulations as the reason that he
desired this. There were various discussions with MSTU advisory
committee members and Mr. Holley. Advisory Committee members
expressed concerns about changing the scope of the project that is
now at 90% construction drawings and ready for submission to the
County for review and approval. Mrs. Cochrane and Mr. Buck agreed
that any new work outside the scope of this project could be
accomplished as a "new project", and perhaps installed simultaneously
if the new projects were planned and permitted in a timely way. Mr.
Gutierrez and Ms. Nicklos expressed concerns that stopping the
project to include road lane issues that were of interest to Mr. Holley
would significantly delay the completion of this project. Mr. Gutierrez
advised Mr. Holley that this project began as a sidewalk (10 foot
pathway — now 8 feet wide), landscape and pedestrian lighting project
and that the County mandated that the four (4) foot shoulder on the
west side of the road was to be removed. Mr. Buck made a motion to
continue with the project as is. Seconded by Mrs. Cochrane. Mr.
Oakley asked if the motion included removing the left turn lane at
Thomasson Drive. And Mr. Buck and Mrs. Cochrane said that it did.
Approved 5-0.

ii. David Buchheit asked representatives from (ABB) and Windham
Studios to discuss the landscape plan for south Bayshore Drive. There
was a discussion about the landscape plan. ABB staff showed design
changes to the proposed landscaping. The proposed design showed
the installation of several small-scale palm trees along the west side of
the pathway. These palms are slow-growing and have a shallow root
ball to prevent interference with overhead power lines and
underground utilities. Mr. Oakley commended them on their efforts
and the committee concurred and asked that these planting plans be
incorporated into the 90% plan submission to the county. Mr. Tryka,
ABB, presented a set of proposed lighting plans for the Committee to
review.
5. Old Business:

sidewalk payment in lieu funding would be transferred to the Bayshore MSTU
on September 14, 2010 for use on the South Bayshore sidewalk project.

a. Interview Candidate for the MSTU Advisory Committee. The applicant (Robert
Messmer) gave a brief introduction to committee. Mr, Oakley made a motion

vice chair when he resigned and asked that the Committee consider selection a
new vice chair. Mr. Buck nominated Carolyn Cochrane. Second. Ms. Nicklos.
Motion carried: 5-0.
c. Christmas on Bayshore. David Buchheit presented multiple options for
Christmas decorations on Bayshore Drive. Mr. Buck made a motion to limit the
project cost to $5,000 and for staff to investigate the amount and type of holiday
material that can be purchased and to bring selections and costs back at next
month's meeting. Second: Mrs. Cochrane. Approved: 5-0.
7. Public Comments: None
