outcome was that the project `may' qualify for an exemption from their permitting process. In a follow-
up meeting, it was determined that we will need to undergo the permit process if no previous ACOE
permit is found when Thomasson was originally constructed. The county has no record and ACOE does
not keep records that old. Our contract with RWA lists ACOE permitting as an extra task, should it be
needed and not included in the contract's overall fees. A proposal will be presented to you once
received. Also, the Naples Pathway Coalition reviewed our design option which was approved by this
advisory board and they concurred on the selection.
4.Next steps for side streets: Residents from Lakeview Drive and Jeepers Drive have expressed
interest for streetscaping improvements. Karen Drive is also being considered due to the
stortnwater improvements that will be constructed over the next year and the sale of the CRA
owned lots that will have new homes and also the clean-up of a long standing mobile home
property that had issue with debris and hoarding.This is an informational item only
5. Capital Improvement Plan: The MSTU will be asked to review the Capital Improvement Plan
schedule over the next few months once a construction budget for Thomasson is reached with RWA.
The MSTU will evaluate funding that is projected within the upcoming years and will prioritize by year.
Staff was requested to look into what is needed to expand our boundaries West on Thomasson Drive.
Staff was requested to obtain a quote to replace Bayview Drive's sod with rock on the Marina property.
B. CRA Update: Will be presented in the CRA meeting after this meeting.
