Florida and this is the first time Naples has been in this position.
He said expenses to travel to the regional tournament in Morrtstown,
Page 3
July 31, 1990
Tennessee are more than $§,000. He indicated they have raised $4,100
toward expenses to date and are now asking Collier County for
some assistance with the remaining $900. He explained if the team
wins at the regional level, expenses are paid to attend the World
Series in Louisiana.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, County Manager Dorrill replied
$300 remains tn discretionary funds which could be used for this pur-
pose.
Commissioner Hasse stated the next budget will discontinue much of
this type of donation but since $300 is available, he believes that is
a reasonable amount to give to the Babe Ruth Program.
Co~issionsr Shanahan ~oved, seconded by Co~missioner Goodntght
and carried unanimously, to appropriate $300 for the Babe Ruth
Pro~ra~, thereby adopting Resolution 90-396.

ORDINANCE 90-61R~ PETITION ZO-90-10, COMMUNITY DEV~LOPM~NT DIVISION
R~QUESTING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 82-2, BY AMENDING SECTION
8, SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT R~GULATIONS, SUBSECTION 8.25, OFF-STRKET
~ARKING RKGARDING HOUSES OF WORSHIP- ADOPTKD
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 12, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition Z0-90-10, filed
by Community Development Division requesting an amendment to Ordinance
82-2, the Comprehensive Zoning Regulations for the Unincorporated Area
of Collier County by amending Section 8, Supplementary District
Regulations, Subsection 8.23, Off-Street Parking: required amounts,
to provide a petition process for reducing the required parking for
houses of worship through the Board of Zoning Appeals in conjunction
with an application for a Building Permit or a Site Development Plan,
for a reduction in required parking spaces.
Planner Hoover stated the purpose of the petition is to offer the
possibility of reducing parking requirements for churches to a minimum
of one parking space to four seats in the sanctuary. He advised the
reduction will only be allowed where a significant hardship exists and
where the applicant can demonstrate that a parking plan Is being pro-
vided to keep vehicles from infringing on neighboring properties as
well as providing adequate access for emergency vehicles. He said
staff's recommendation to the CCPC was to allow the reduction only for
existing churches. He reported the CCPC amended the petition to allow
for all churches which was then approved unanimously (8/0) by that
com]nittee. He indicated their reason was to include the Haitian First
Assembly of God tn Immokalee.
Commissioner Volpe said he is not in favor of allowing special
exceptions for new churches from the recently established requ]rPments
of 3 parking spaces for every 7 seats.
~'~uss~on of Th~s ~ssue, several members of the Board of County
Commissioners indicated they wanted staff to consider being more
Page 5
July 31, 1990
liberal with churches and this is staff's answer to that.
Commissioner Volpe recalled the discussion concerning existing
churches experiencing growth in their congregations and the exception
today includes new churches.
Planner Hoover stated the ccPC recommendation will make it much
more difficult for new churches to demonstrate significant hardship
than ex/sting churches.
Commissioner Saunders informed he believes new and existing
churches should be treated the same, not with two sets of require-
ments.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Planner Hoover replied original
requirements were 1 space for 2 seats which was recently amended to
allow 3 spaces for 7 seats. He said this petition will allow review
in cases where churches are surrounded, for example, by commercial
property. He advised currently there is no shared parking plan which
would allow a church and an adjacent commercial property to share
parking spaces.
Commissioner Shanahan reported he is the sponsor of this amendment
which was initiated by all the churches on Marco Island. He indicated
most churches feel their problem was not addressed when parking
requirements were changed from i for 2 to 3 for ?. He said this
action includes enough stipulations in the amendment to the ordinance
that will allow a fair opportunity for everyone. He concluded his
sponsorship is for existlng churches.
Planner Hoover aired a possible revision of "significant hardship"
for existing churches and an "extreme hardship" for new churches.
Commissioner Goodnight stated the Immokalee Master Plan approves
bringing up one of the districts to a better standard. She said there
are some churches in that area now and more will want to come into
that district. She concluded she supports the CCPC recommendation
which will allow more flexibility for staff and the Board to look at
individual circumstances.
Commissioner Volpe indicated he prefers to see the standards left
Page 6
July 31, 1990
In place and have staff continue to pursue a shared parking plan which
will address Commissioner Goodnight~s concerns In Immokalee.
Planning Services Manager Bagtnskt informed the ability to apply
for a variance request is being proposed under the new development
regulations in the changes being proposed to the zoning ordinance. He
said the variance request can be expanded to include parking.
Commissioner Volpe asked if the proposed amendments in the land
development regulations will provide relief in unique situations where
parking requirements cannot be met?
Mr. Baglnski replled traditionally variances are based on /den-
ttftcattons by the applicant of extreme hardship cases not created by
the applicant. He said when staff drafted this amendment, they
recognized the difficulties on existing churches and the recommen-
dations were made in that direction.
Commissioner Hasse questioned will a new church be creating Its
own hardship?
M~. Bagtnskt replied that is a difficulty staff will need to face
because it will be hard to identify a hardship on a proposed structure
rather than an existing facility.
Commissioner Saunders stated Florida /aw requires variance mecha-
nisms for setbacks and parking, and staff is attemptinG to bring
Collier County codes into compliance with acceptable standards. He
commented Collier County has an excellent staff who will do a good Job
in making sure there really is a hardship when a request is received
for a variance from the 3 for 7 parking requirement. He reiterated
there is no need for two sets of standards.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Planner Hoover replied the shared
parking land development regulation is expected in approximately slx
months.

PETITION PDA-90-4, DONALD A. PI~RTH REFRESENTING WESTINGHOUSE
COMMUNITIES OF NAPLES, INC., R~QUESTING AR AM~ TO THE PELICAN
BAY PUD DOCUMENT BY AMENDING SECTION 7.03C REGARDING TENTS AS AN
ACCESSORY USE TO HOTELS AND MOTELS - CONTINUED TO 6/21/90
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 12, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition PDA-90-4, filed
by Asbell, Haines, Doyle and Plckworth requesting an amendment to
Ordinance 77-18, as amended, which established the Pelican Bay Planned
Unit Development by amending the following section of the original
Planned Unit Development Documents: Section VII, Group 4, Subsection
7.03, uses permitted, Paragraph C - permitted accessory uses and
structures, by adding tents as a permitted accessory use to hotels and
motels in those areas designated as Group N on the Planned Unit
Development site plan.
Planner N/no stated this request will provide for temporary or
less than permanent status for a tent as an accessory and ancillary
use to hotels. He said this amendment will allow tents for a period
of up to 3 years only in conjunction with hotels within the Pelican
Bay PUD district. He indicated this ordinance contains a significant
number of conditions that will need to be met prior to permitting a
tent, which include adequate buffering and distancing from residential
Page 8
July 31, 1990
properties. He said there are also provisions regulating the amount
of noise which can be emitted from the tent. Since being reviewed by
the GCPO, he said, a number of concerns have been raised that staff
feels should be included In the amendment. He advised these concerns
are tents which should be a minimum size; tents which should be sub-
Ject to impact fees, with a credit toward a permanent structure if
built within the 3 year timeframe; and hurricane vulnerability which
should be addressed with tents being able to withstand certain
wtndloads. He added the CCPC recommended approval of this petition
(5/0) without having an opportunity to address these issues. He
concluded staff recommendation is to approve the CCPG recommendation
with an amendment to include the three Issues addressed above.
Planner Ntno advised the notification fe~ of $5 per household
which totals $13,000 has not yet been received from the petitioner.
He further noted that, upon review by the Office of the County
Attorney, It was suggested to delete the noise parameters Included tn
the proposal. He said there may be a possibility of conflict between
the proposal and the County's noise ordinance.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Planning Services Manager
Baginskt replied that letters of objection have been received from 26
Individuals and 4 condominium associations, and letters of approval
were received from 4 individuals and the Pelican Bay Properties
Association.
Commissioner Saunders commented ordinances have been adopted regu-
lating the use of tents and this proposal will Imply that Pelican Bay
and hotels are exempt. He asked the County Attorney if this petition
is approved, will other areas in the County have a valid argument to
also permit tents for up to 3 years?
County Attorney Guyler answered in the affirmative and added this
might especially apply to hotels and motels outside this PUD.
Commissioner Volpe agreed with Commissioner Saunders' concerns and
stated his own relative to hurricane vulnerability, i.e., flood-
proofing, meeting requirements for minimum flood elevations and taking
Page 9
July 31, 1990
down tents tn the event of a hurricane watch or warning. He said
there are more Issues being raised which need to be addressed in addi-
tion to those presented by staff.
Attorney Donald Ptckworth, representing the Ritz-Car/ton,
explained when this matter originally came before the Board last fall,
discussion resulted in the parties being directed to resolve the
situation. He said after reviewing various factors, it was concluded
there are large areas within the regulatory structure that do not deal
with structures such as the tent at the Ritz-Carlton and the best way
of resolving this issue for both Collier County and the property owner
is to propose an amendment which covers tents on hotel properties. He
said because the Ritz-Carlton is within the Pelican Bay PUD it is
necessary for this specific regulatory change to apply to that PUD and
not to the general zoning ordinance. He advised the current amendment
to the general zoning ordinance regarding tents does not address tent
properties within any PUD. He said County staff has included provi-
sions making this a much more stringent standard than is applied to
the general zoning ordinance.
Tape ~2
Mr. Richard Ford, resident of Serendipity, spoke against the peti-
tion. He reported the Registry Resort Hotel, immediately adjacent to
Serendipity, has erected a tent several times which has been less than
§0 feet from their property line. He indicated the tent has been a
nuisance to Serendipity owners because of noise emitting from it and
also due to the fact there is minimal landscape screening.
Mr. Plckworth addressed the issue of the mailed notice fee. He
stated there is nothing in the zoning ordinance regarding mailing
notice to individual owners in the case of u PDA. He said there is a
section in that ordinance requiring mailed notice to property owners
within 300 feet of the property lines of the land for which the zoning
is sought.
County Attorney Cuyler reported several issues remain unresolved
which need to be addressed by his office and County staff.

PETITION PU-88-12C, SHELTER FOR ABUSED ~ OF COLLIER COUNTY, INC. -
CO~mREH~NSIVE REPORT RE OPerATIONS ACCEPTED AND PROVISIONAL USE TO
~ECOM~ P~R~ANENT
Planner Arnold stated that the purpose of this item is to review
the comprehensive report on the operations of the Shelter For Abused
Women of Collier County, Inc. He noted that on October 11, 1988, the
Provisional Use was approved with the stipulation that a comprehensive
report would be prepared one year after this approval, noting that the
report was submitted on October 17, 1989, after being in operation
3-1/2 to 4 months. He Indicated that at the time, the Commission
stipulated that an additional comprehensive report would be presented
on this date.
Mr. Arnold affirmed that he has visited the site, and found no
violations with regard to the original Resolution or Zoning Ordinance.
He reported that after discussions with 0ode Compliance Services, he
was informed that no violations have been reported; and the Sheriff,s
Office indicates that no complaints have been registered. He stated
that based on this Information, Staff is recommending that the
Provisional Use be allowed to continue its operation.
Dr. Neno Spagna, representing the Shelter For Abused Women of
Collier County, Inc., stated that all conditions, as set forth in two
separate hearings, have been set forth. He requested that this acti-
vity be permitted on a permanent basis. He indicated that the Shelter
has established the need for this type of facility tn the community,
and it has been very helpful to many people since it began In July,
1989. He reported that the shelter has not caused any excessive
problems to the Sheriff,s Office or the neighborhood. He asked that
the Provisional Use be changed from the temporary permitted use to a
permanent use as provided by ordinance.

July 31, 1990
Ms. Llnda Beckwith, President, Board of Directors for the Shelter,
stated that there have been no incidents or problems in the neigh-
borhood caused by the Shelter's existence for the past year. She
reported that in the one year of operation, the Shelter has assisted
140 women and their 139 children with over 3,200 nights of sheltering
a]Td provided in excess of 2,000 hours of counseling. She advised that
of the 7,000 help line calls that have been received, 700 have been
immediate cr~ses calls which have been answered by Staff and trained
volunteers. She reported that the volunteers have donated 4,200 hours
of service.
Ms. Beckwith stated that discussions have been held with represen-
tatives of the neighborhood and all issues of concern have been
addressed and clarified. She related that many of the neighbors
suggestions have been implemented. She advised that the Shelter has
been a good neighbor and will continue to do so. She requested that
the Shelter be granted a permanent Provisional Use for the operation
of a safe home.
Attorney John Passidomo, representing the Shelter for Abused Women
of Collier County, Inc., responded to Commissioner Shanahan with
respect to registered complaints. He noted that records from the
Sheriff's Office reflect that there have been significantly less
reports than when the facility was used as an apartment complex. He
revealed that in the 18 months prior to occupancy by the Shelter,
there were 8 incidents which ranged from disturbances to domestic mat-
ters to misdemeanors, but no incidences of this soft have been
reported at the shelter in their one year of occupancy.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the status of the pending lawsuit,
to which Attorney Passidomo replied that in April, Judge Blackwell
heard the oral arguments and held in favor of the Shelter.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Beckwith advised that grant
monies have been received from several agencies for next year.

ORDINAIICE 90-62 RE PETITION Z0-90-13, C09B~UNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION,
AMENDING TH~ CO~[PRKHENSIVE ZONING REGULATIONS BY ALL0~ING RECRRATIONAL
VEHICLES AS PERMITTED USES IN TH~ MOBILE HOME SUBDIVISION DISTRICT -
ADOPTHD WITH CONCERNS FOR DISASTER SAFETY
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 12, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
ZO-90-13/Community Development Division, requesting an ordinance
amending Ordinance 82-2, Section 7.17, Mobile Home Subdivision, Sub-
section b.1), Principle Uses and Structures and adding paragraph (c)
allowing Recreational Vehicles as permitted Principal Use.
Planner Mulhere advised that the proposed amendment will allow
recreational vehicles as defined in the TTRVC District as a permitted
principal use in those mobile home subdivisions zoned MHTT prior to
October 14, 1974, provided the TTRVC Section does not exceed the boun-
daries indicated on the approved master plan for the park. Ne noted
that in addition, this amendment would allow recreational vehicles as
a permitted principal use in these mobile home rental parks with an
approved TTRVC Section, or which obtained a Provisional Use to permit
such prior to January 11, 1982.
Mr. Mulhere stated that Staff has reviewed the effects of the
current Zoning Ordinance prohibiting the placement of recreational
vehicles within the mobile home subdivision and mobile home rental
park districts and has determined that while this is appropriate for
all new parks and subdivisions, it creates an undue hardship for those
parks previously approved to contain mobile home and travel trailer
sites, and for those individual owners of lots within a previously
approved TTRVC Section of a parcel currently zoned MHSD.
Mr. Mulhere explained that questionnaires were mailed to 42 mobile
home parks/subdivisions, and 26 responses have been received indi-
cating that there are approximately 900 individual recreational
vehicle/travel trailer sites and 10 parks and subdivisions which would
be affected by this ordinance.
20
Page 13
July 31, 1990
Mr. Mulhere reported that a Master Development Plan approved by
the County will clearly delineate that section of the park/subdivision
approved for travel trailer/recreational vehicles as well as indivi-
dual lot configurations. He noted that this amendment will not permit
an increase in the area approved for TTRV use, nor will it allow the
housing or storage of TTRV's in excess of the number permitted by the
approved Master Plan.
Mr. Mulhere advised that the Collier County Planning Commission
conditionally approved this petition with a 5-0 vote.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Mu/here advised that this
amendment would hot allow for any new mobile home parks or mobile home
subdivisions to have areas with RV's or travel trailers.
Mr. Mulhere explained that it is suggested that at the time of an
evacuation warning, the people who are occupying RV's would be the
first to evacuate. He noted that because these are not permanent
structures, they are permitted within the coastal high hazard area.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he feels that there are serious
safety concerns and rather than al/owing these to proliferate, con-
sideration should be given to bring them back under control.
Commissioner Hasse indicated that many people enjoy these types of
recreational facilities, and since they are mobile they can travel to
points of safety with their entire unit in the event of a warning to
evacuate.
Dr. Neno Spagna commended Staff and the Commission for recognizing
the problems within the ZoninG Ordinance and in their attempts of
working very diligently to arrive at a solution to correct these
problems.
Commissioner Volpe noted that there is a Policy in the Growth
Management Plan that states that the population is to be directed away
from the coastal high hazard area.
Mr. Mulhere advised that he has delineated between the number of
the parks that are located within the high hazard area or in other
areas, but he believes that ~he number is approximately 50~.

AMKNDINO ORDINANCE 89-89, TO CORRECT SCRIVE]FER,S ERROR R~ TH~ TTRVC
~ISTRICT - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published In the Naples Dally News on
July 12, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
ZO-90-14/Communlty Development Division requesting an ordinance
amending Ordinance 89-89, to correct scrlvener's error to Section
7.19, Subsection 7.19h, Compliance by deleting reference to seven (7)
months with respect to register maintenance and to replace same with
on a permanent basis.
Mr. Jeff Dane, resident of Imperial Wilderness, recalled that a
resolution with respect to an amendment suggesting that TTRVC owners
could reside in their units for 7 months and vacate same for 5 months
was unanimously defeated. He indicated that when Ordinance 89-89 was
adopted the ? month/5 month clause was to be deleted, but the language
Page 15
July 31, 1990
erroneously remained in the ordinance. He stated that the amendment
suggests that the ?month/5 month clause be deleted, and that the
description of a motor home which is redundant, be removed.
Mr. Dane called attention to the language relative to the park
register which was not to be included in the ordinance, and requested
that this be deleted.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he recalls that each individual
park owner was to maintain a register to ensure that there would be no
residents living in the parks on a permanent basis and this would also
be a source of review for the Code Enforcement officers.
Commissioner Saunders indicated that his recollection is the same
as Gommtssloner Volpe's, in that the register would continue to be
maintained, but the arbitrary ? month clause would be eliminated.
Mr. Dane stated that the word "non-permanent- is nebulous, and he
does not understand how this can be enforced. Commissioner Hasse
stated that permanent is considered 365 days per year, but anything
less than that is "non-permanent-
Commissioner Shanahan related that he recalls that the 7/5 clause
was deleted, "non-permanent- was inserted, and there was to be the
record keeping of a register on the basis of the fact that occupancy
was to be "non-permanent,,.
Planner N/no stated that he believes that the wording is correct,
as proposed, noting that "non-permanent/permanent,, is addressed in
another section of the ordinance.
Mr. Cliff Vernen, Imperial Wilderness resident, Indicated that he
has received a fee simple title with no reference to TTRVC. He
explained that the Constitution of the United States guarantees per-
manent use of fee simple title with no deed restrictions. He related
that $2,500 per acre in taxes is paid to the County, and there are 546
units in Imperial Wilderness which is an adult community, therefore
the school system is not impacted. He stated that if these restric-
tions are to be enforced, they must be passed on to every condominium
owner in the County.
Page 16
July 31, 1990
Commissioner Saunders advised that there are many fee simple pro-
perties within Collier County where people may not reside, i.e. Com-
mercial Districts. He stated that perhaps the entire ordinance needs
to be re-visited.
County Attorney Cuyler remarked that originally Staff came to the
Commission and indicated that it would be easier to enforce the ordi-
nance with a set period of time, but 50-?§ people were present at the
hearing on that date and requested that a specific time period not be
used, even though many of the people were not permanent residents. He
advised that the Commission determined that a specific time period
would not be included in the ordinance, and that it would be his
responsibility along with the appropriate Staff to enforce it. He
commented that the issue today is to correct the ordinance to correct
what Staff understands the Commission,s prior action to be.

Item #6C1
ORDINANCE 90-64 CRHATING AN INDEPENDENT SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT RK
CHILDREN'S SERVICES COUNCIL - ADOPTID
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 12, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an ordinance concerning
the provision of Children,s Support Services throughout Collier
Page 17
July 31, 1990
County; creating a County-wide Special Taxing District; and providing
for a governing body to be known as the Children,s Services Council of
Collier County.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that this item relates to
the proposed ordinance creating a taxing district and allowing for the
creation of the Children's Services Council to govern that district.
She related that the contents of the ordinance has been discussed at
prior meetings before the Commission.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Assistant County Attorney Wilson
advised that the ordinance allows for the creation of the Council
which is comprised of 5 members that are automatically on the board by
positions that they hold, and 5 members will be appointed by the
Governor from a list of 15 persons that the County Commission is to
select. She related that the Council will make a needs determination
and come before the Commission with an assessment of same in addition
to suggesting the options for funding. She explained that the ordi-
nance allows a mechanism for levying ad valorem taxes, however, it ts
left to the Council as to whether this is the appropriate option or if
there are other options, i.e. private funding, which would meet the
needs as presented.
Commissioner Volpe indicated that he has reservations with respect
to the establishment of an independent taxing authority without the
electorate having the opportunity to vote on same. He stated that it
appears that the taxinG authority would have the right to levy ad
valorem taxes up to 1/2 mill, and the budget, once established, shall
not be subject to change or modification by the Commission. He
advised that he is not prepared to delegate that authority to an inde-
pendent agency which is not accountable to the electorate.
Commissioner Hasse concurred with Commissioner Volpe's remarks,
and noted that he does not believe that any committee should be given
carte blanche rights to levy any taxes on Collier County. He indi-
cated that it is important to address the needs of the community.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the committee will be required
Page 18
July 31, 1990
to submit a report to the Commission and a referendum will be set, if
it is the desire of the Board. He explained that the committee that
is interested in establishing a tax must then sell it to the com-
munity, and the voters will have the opportunity to decide the issue.
Commissioner Goodnight related that there are several Counties
within the State that have a Children's Services Council and they have
been very successful. She indicated that she has no problem with the
electorate having the opportunity to decide whether they want the
millage, and having an independent committee that will present a
report to the Commission with the assessment of needs, noting that she
feels that the Commission needs to move forward.
Commissioner Shanahan explained that he believes that there is the
need for a Children's Council, and if the voters endorse same, he
feels secure that the people who will direct the program will be
responsible.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Assistant County Attorney Wilson
explained that the Council would submit a budget to the Commission,
but the ordinance and the Statutes does not permit the Board to change
that budget. She stated that the Council does have the ability to
receive gifts and donations.
Tape ~3
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that she has added
language to the ordinance that ts not from the Statutes, to clarify
that the Commission's intention is that the question relative to the
referendum will be determined prior to going to the electorate.
Commissioner Shanahan remarked that there is a well defined list
of services that the Council will provide which is an incentive that
the electorate needs and is confident that whatever the vote may be,
will be supported by the Commission.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson called attention to Page 5 of the
ordinance, with regard to the levying of ad valorem taxes noting that
language is included which says: "... Such referendum shall be called
only upon the authority and pursuant to the direction of the Board of
Page 19
July 31, 1990
County Commissioners by resolution.,, She reported that the same
langl~age is included on Page 6 of the ordinance relative to
"Referendum Requirement". She stated that if the ordinance is adopted
today, the Commission will be requested to approve the list of names
to be submitted to the Governor for appointments to the Council.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he ~s comfortable, assuming
that Mr. Goodlette represents on the record, that his group
understands and concurs with the language with respect to the Board's
ability to control whether this item is to be placed on the ballot.
Attorney Dudley Goodlette, speaking as a private citizen and on
behalf of the Naples Alliance for Children, stated that the commitment
that this group has to the children of the community deserves the
Commission's recognition. He pointed out that the ordinance embodies
totally, the action which was taken by the Board on May 29, 1990 rela-
tive to the Children's Services Council. He indicated that the needs
analysis will be undertaken by the Council as soon as it is appointed.
He encouraged the Commission to adopt the ordinance in its present
form.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the earliest time that the referen-
dum will be able to be placed on the ballot, assuming that the needs
assessment will be completed before the first of the year. County
Attorney Cuyler replied that the Board has the discretion to set the
time as desired, if the Board is willing to have a special election.
Attorney Goodlette stated that there is an alternative to the
Board of County Commissioners in lieu of having a special election
until the next general election.
Attorney Goodlette stated that he has submitted a list of persons
who have filled out the Governor's application form, and suggested
that his name be removed, thereby leaving 15 names. He requested that
the Commission formally approve the list, assuming that the ordinance
passes.

RESOLUTION 90-397 RE PETITION SMP-90-8, NENO J. SPA~NA OF FLORIDA
URBAN INSTITUTE, INC., REPRESENTING BONITA-U-STORE-IT CORPORATION,
REQUESTING SUBDIVISION MASTER PLAN APPROVAL FOR GKRMA~ WOODS LOCATED
ON SANTA BJd~BARA BOULEVARD, ONE-HALF MILE SOUTH OF GOLDEN GATE PARKWAY
- ADOPTED SUBJECT TO STIPULATIONS
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 15, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition $MP-90-8, filed
by Dr. Neno Spa~na, Florida Urban Institute, Inc., representing
Bonita-U-Store-It Corporation, Inc., requesting Subdivision Master
Plan approval for German Woods for property located on Tract ]18,
Golden Gate Estates, Unit 30.
Planner Lord reported that the Petitioner is requesting
Page 2.1.
July 31, 1990
Subdivision Master Plan approval for the German Woods subdivision
located on the West side of Santa Barbara Boulevard, approximately
1/2 mile South of Golden Gate Parkway. He affirmed that the peti-
tioner proposes to subdivide the 9.6 acres into 4 single family lots.
Mr. Lord indicated that lands to the north are currently vacant
with Estates Zoning; scattered residences in the RFM-12 Zoning
District are located to the East and across Santa Barbara Boulevard;
Berkshire Lakes PUD is located to the South and across the East/West
canal; and the West is currently vacant with Estates Zoning. He
explained that Staff has no objections to this petition, subject to
the stipulations in the Staff Report. He advised that the CCPC
reviewed this request on July 5, 1990, and forwarded same to the Board
of County Commissioners with a unanimous recommendation for con-
ditfona/ approval, subject to Staff's stipulations.
Mr. Lord stated that there has been no public comment for or
against this request, and no correspondence has been received. He
noted that Staff is recommending approval, subject to the recommen-
dation of the CCPC and the required stipulations.
Oommtssioner Volpe voiced concern with regard to public safety,
noting that the private access road appears to be a long cul-de-sac,
and questioned whether there is adequate turn-around for emergency
vehicles. Mr. Lord replied that the private access road will ultima-
tely service the 4 lots, adding that the access easement will be 30'
wide with a 20' road. He reported that the access easement is
approximately 800' and will be a part of the subdivision exceptions.
Commissioner Volpe stated that there have been problems with regard to
variances to the cul-de-sac regulations relating to safety. Mr. Lord
explained that the 30' access easement would be adjacent to another
30' access easement to the north, thereby creating a 60' roadway at a
later date, and at that time a cul-de-sac would be installed.
Dr. Neno Spagna, representing the Petitioner, stated that he has
reviewed all requirements and concurs with same. He related that the
petitioner has donated additional right-of-way on Santa Barbara
Page 22
July 31, 1990
Boulevard for whatever use the County deems appropriate.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Dr. Spagna reported that the
easement runs al/ the way through to the next street, and there would
be no reason to request a cul-de-sac. He indicated that this petition
has been reviewed and approved by the Fire District.

Legal notice having been published ~n ~he Naples Daily News on
July 15, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of ~blication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition AW-90-2, filed
by Suzanne D. Lanier, Gillette, Pilon and Richman, P.A., representing
Maysville Sea Foods, Inc., D/B/A Long John Silver's re~esting waiver
of separation retirements between an establishment which sells alco-
holic beverages for cons~ption on premises and a church.
Pla~er Saadeh reported that the Petitioner Is re~esting a 500
foot waiver of the required 500 foot separation between establishments
serving alcohol/c beverages and churches. He indicated that the sub-
Ject property Js zoned C-4 wlth an existing "Long John Silver's-
restaurant; property to the North is zoned C-4 and contaAns the Beacon
Bowl where alcoholic beverage sales are permitted; property to the
East lsa 250' wade lake with RSF-1 zoning across the lake which con-
tarns a church and church school; property to the South and across
Pine Ridge Road is zoned C-4 and contains Sand Dollars Imports and
Truck Center; and property to the West ~s zoned C-4 wlth a 7-11
Convenience Store where alcoholic beverage sales are permitted.
Mr. Saadeh stated that the two properties are separated by a 250'+
wide lake. He reported that the restaurant does not have any outs/de-
activities or seating areas and the hours of operation are until 10:00
P.M. on weekends. He advised that over 51~ of their sales are derived
from food. He explained that over the past three years, the total
sales from alcoholic beverages at the East Naples location was only
X.98~.
Mr. Saadeh indicated that the Collier County Plannlng Commission
reviewed this Petition on July 19, 1990, and unanimously recommended
approval 5/0, subject to Staff stipulations. He remarked that there
Page 24
July 31, 1990
was no public comment either for or against this petition, nor has any
correspondence been received. He affirmed that Staff recommends
approval of this Petition, as recommended by the CCPC, subject to the
stipulations as reflected in the Agreement Sheet.
Attorney Frank Kowalskt, representing Maysville Seafoods, Inc.,
stated that there is a natural manmade division (lake) between the
subject property and the church. He noted that under the enabling
legislation as provided by ordinance, he is seeking a variance for his
client.
Mr. John Brandon, Long John Silver's Area Supervisor, advised that
he has been with his present employer for ten years, and noted that
during that time, there has never been a problem with alcoholic
beverage sales. He indicated that less than 2% of the total sales are
derived from the sale of alcohol.
Commissioner Saunders stated that if this waiver is granted, he
assumes that the permission to sell alcoholic beverages would be unt-
clue only to the operator of the subject business, but if someone else
acquired that building, the waiver would not apply. County Attorney
Cuyler affirmed Commissioner Saunders, comment, but noted that if
someone presented the same circumstances, the Commission,s ability to
deny the request may be less.
Commissioner Saunders advised that he is familiar with the opera-
tions of Long John Silver's and has no problem with this request, but
if the business is sold and someone else assumes same, he would like
to have the opportunity to evaluate a new petition for the sale of
alcoholic beverages.
County Attorney Guy/er revealed that the best time to make sure
that this happens, is at the time a new petitioner comes tn for a
zoning check-off for a consumption on premises permit and Staff is
aware that these are presented to the Commission for approval.
There were no other speakers.

Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
July 15, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of ~bltcatton filed with ~he
Clerk, public hearing was opened ~o cons/der Petition V-90-7, filed
Arthur Tucker of Consoer, Townsend ~ Associates, Inc., representing
Ron Flanagan, =e~estlng a 10 foo~ variance from the requl=ed front
yard setback of 25 feet To 15 feet tn a MHSD zone for Lots A, B and C,
(Lo~s 1, 2 and 3}, Riverwood East/Unit No.
Planner Saadeh stated tha~ this is a companion item to Petition
V-90-8, and his presentation will include both petitions.
Mr. Saadeh advised that the Petitioner is requesting a 10'
varl~ce from the required front yard setback of 25' to 1~' for Lots
1, 2, a 3 and ~4, 55, ~ 56, Rtverwood Estates. He stated that the
subject prope=ty is zoned MHSD {Mobile Home Subdivision District);
property to the north across Henderson Creek Is zoned MHSD and develo-
ped; property to the east ts zoned MHRP {mobile home rental park) and
developed: and properties to the south and west are zoned MHSD and
developed.
Mr. Saadeh explained that Lots 1, 2, ~ 3 are part of Rtverwood
East, Unit 3 and a=e platted lots, and Lots ~4, 5~, a ~6 are
designated as Tract A for future development on the Master Development
Plan and have not been platted. He indicated that these petitions
were initiated when Dredge and Fill permits were issued by the Corps
of Engineers. He repo=ted that the permits were conditional upon the
petitioner receiving approval for the fr:~nt yard setback of 10'.
Planner Saadeh expressed that related County Agencies have
reviewed the petitions and have reco~ended denial. He stated that
the Collier County Planning Commission reviewed the petitions on July
19, 1990, and ~anlmously recommended denial (~/0). He mentioned that
there was no public cogent, but Staff has received 8 letters and 2
phone calls from neighbors reco~endtng denial. He affirmed that
Page 27
July 31, 1990
Staff is recommending denial of Petition V-90-? and companion Petition
V-90-8, as recommended by the CCPC.
Mr. Gary Beardsley, of Tropical Consultants, provided an infor-
mational packet (copy not provided to the Clerk's Office), with regard
to the sub3ect property. He advised that the petitioner has been
granted a permit from DER with a 25' setback, and noted that when the
Corps was doing its review, notice was sent to various agencies for
their comments, i.e. The U.S. Fish and Game, Regional Planning
Council, etc. He indicated that at the same time those agencies were
sending their comments to the Corps in early 1990, President Bush
directed environmental Protection agencies to develop a memorandum of
agreement with the Corps which said their was to be a striving of no
net loss of wetlands on a pro3ect' He affirmed that the applicant was
caught in the middle of the memorandum of agreement, noting that the
application had 1/10 acre of impact. He related that the comments
from the various agencies suggested a setback from 25' to 15'
Mr. Beardsley reported that meetings were held with Staff, and
various options were discussed in order to pull the lots out of the
wetlands. He expressed that the Corps indicated that they would Issue
a permit reflecting 15' setbacks, but if the applicant was not granted
the variance, they would still issue the permit. He advised that the
applicant already has assurance that he will be obtaining the
necessary permits, and this is a benefit for the County to obtain an
additional 10' from these lots.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt stated that Mr.
Beardsley has taken the presumptive statement that the Federal
Government is governing the subdivision regulations and setbacks of
Collier County, and noting that what the Corps does in this matter is
irrelevant. He noted that there is no basis for a variance due to the
fact that the subdivision is designed in a manner that the lot size is
inadequate. He related that even though permits have been issued f~om
the Corps, certain factors must be met before building permits may be
issued.
Page 28
July 31, 1990
In answer to Co~atssloner Volpe, Mr. Beardsley advised that there
are two parcels, and one may be in question, since it has not been
platted. He affirmed that approval of the variance request would save
10' of wetlands along the backside of the lots.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the issue ts whether or not the
variance should be granted to protect the wetlands, noting that he is
uncertain as to whether the wetlands are worth the effort.
Mr. Saadeh indicated that the Corps approval is contingent upon
the County granting the variance.
Mr. Arthur Tucker stated that he has had discussions with the
Corps of Engineers who suggested that he apply for the variance. He
affirmed that he has been issued a permit from the Corps.
Mr. Beardsley indicated that there are 4 commenting agencies that
have said that these are prime wetlands, and has forced his c/tent to
go from 1/10 of an acre to §/lO0's of an acre of Impact since they are
In the Henderson Creek Drainage Basin which goes Into Rookery Bay and
Into the Coastal Estuartne System.
Commissioner Saunders noted that the Environmental Staff opposed
the granting of the request, and questioned if it is their belief
that the property owner will not be able to build anything on the pro-
perty if the variance is denied. Mr. Saadeh rep/ted that if the
County does not grant approval, the Corps will not give approval to
encroach on the wetlands, and therefore, the property will not be
buildable.
Mr. Beardsley advised that there are § lots in Tract A, noting
that 2 of which have been set aside in preservation, noting that one
lot is entirely upland, and it can be built with no setback variance
request. He indicated that the issue that ts being questioned ts
actually 2 of the 8 lots.
Planner Saadeh explained that it is Staff's opinion, that if pro-
per planning had been given to the Subdivision Master Plan, there
would have been no encroachment on the wetlands.

THE REQUIRED REAR YARD SETBACK FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 105 CEDAR CREST
~0URT, LOT 65, TANGLEWOOD II, LELY COUNTRY CLUB - DENIED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
July 15, 1990, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition V-90-9, filed by
Lawrence Gatt/, Sr., requesting a 9-1/2 foot variance from the
required rear yard setback of 10 feet to 6 Inches in the Lely Country
Club PUD, Lot 65, Tanglewood II.
Planner Saadeh advised that the Petitioner ts requesting a 9-1/2
Page 30
July 31, 1990
foot variance from the required rear yard setback of 10 feet, so that
he may construct a rectangular pool enclosure. Re reported that the
subject property is currently zoned PUD (Lely Country Club) and is an
interior lot, properties to the north, east and west are zoned PUD for
single family residential dwellings; and the property to the south is
zoned PUD, contains a lake and the Lely Country Club Golf Course.
Mr. Saadeh explained that the Petitioner provided Staff with 3
letters of no objection from adjacent neighbors. He related that
Staff has met with one neighbor who voiced opposition to the petition.
He indicated that the Collier County Planning Commission reviewed the
petition on July 19, 1990, and unanimously recommended denial (§/0).
He stated that there were no public comments, either for or against
the petit/on at the public hearing.
Planner Saadeh reported that Staff recommends denial of Petition
V-90-9, as recommended by the Collier County Planning Commission.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Saadeh advised that the pool
has been constructed but the enclosure has not been built. He indi-
cated that the enclosure could be constructed with revisions to the
destgl~, but it would not be a perfect rectangle, as desired by the
petitioner.
Mr. James Phtlbrick, representing the Petitioner, stated that as
Planner Saadeh has explained, the reason for the variance request is
to alleviate an angle in the pool cage. He indicated that from the
outside looking in, the aesthetics would be much more pleasing to see
a rectangular pool cage. He advised that all of the neighbors in the
immediate area have agreed that this would not cause a problem. He
reported that this area is a utility easement, and the pertinent uti-
lities have abandoned same for useage. He related that the lot is pie
shaped with a 60' frontage but there is 150' in the rear.
Commissioner Volpe stated that unfortunately the Commission has to
make certain findings with regard to unique hardships, and the analy-
sis that has been performed by Staff indicates that there is not a
land or structure related hardship. He indicated that he does not see
Page 31

any basis to grant the variance.
There were no other speakers.
Commissioner Volpe ~oved, seconded by Co-missioner Shanahan and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan and
carried unanimously, that Petition V-90-9 be denied, based u~on the

Item
AMENDMENTS TO POLICY 5.! AND THE RURAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT - APPROVED
AS AMENDED. RESOLUTION 90-399 APPROVING THE PROPOSED GROWTH
_MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS FOR TRANSMITTAL TO DCA - ADOPTED
Planner Laverty advised that this public hearing is a continuation
from the hearing of July 25, 1990. He reported that there will be an
additional public hearing in January, 1991, to consider adoption of
all the amendments that the Commission has approved for transmittal to
DCA.
Mr. Laverty recalled that at the July 2§th hearing, the Commission
approved for transmittal to DCA a boundary change relative to the City
of Naples on the Future Land Use Map and the Future Land Use Map
Series. He indicated that this will be carried forward through the
rest of the Plan Elements to make them consistent with the Future Land
Use Element Map and the Future Land Use Map Series.
Growth Planning Director Blanchard stated that his memo dated 3uly
30, 1990, reflects the recommended language with regard to amendments
to Policy §.1 and and the Rural Industrial District of the Future Land
Use Element which were continued from the public hearing on July 25,
1990.
Mr. Blanchard reported that Policy 5.1 as it is currently adopted
in the Growth Management Plan continues to allow inconsistent projects
to develop even though suggested changes to the Development Orders are
approved by the Commission. He related that Staff believes that the
current language is inconsistent with Policy 31K as it was amended to
the Stipulated Settlement Agreement which states very clearly that "No
Page 32
July 31, 1990
Inconsistent Development 0rders will be Issued." He noted that Staff
recognizes the need to provide an alternative to the "all or nothing',
scenario for projects that are already approved. He indicated that
all the Policies within the Plan should contain provisions so that if
there ts the opportunity during a change application to the
Development Order, the project can move tn the direction of con-
sistency with the Growth Management Plan.
Mr. Blanchard remarked that the proposed language, as outlined on
the first and second pages of his memo, continues to permit certain
changes to existing inconsistent Development Orders but these changes
are related to those Projects that have gone through parts of the
Zoning Re-Evaluation process. He advised that Staff is proposing that
changes be permitted for pro3ects that have received a compatibility
exception or an exemption which does not contain a specific deadline
for commencement of construction. He noted that the proposed language
does not Include the review categories that have deadlines for commen-
cement of construction or continuation of construction.
Mr. Blanchard stated that exemptions that have deadlines should
not be considered since they are based on specific Development Orders.
He noted that the exemptions are allowed for building permits, sub-
division master plans, final plats and site development plans. He
remarked that changes to those Development Orders represent changes
to what the pro3ect entailed when it was exempt, and a requested
change could indicate that the project would not go forward under the
approved Development Order.
Mr. Blanchard Indicated that in the months preceding the adoption
of the Zoning Re-Evaluation Ordinance there was a rush tn obtaining
approval of site development plans, and he suspects that some of those
were rushed with the anticipation that once they received exemptions
they would be able to make a change to make the pro3ect more viable
and enhance it for some type of development to occur. He remarked
that by allowing changes that encourage the development of projects
suggests that they should go ahead and develop inconsistent with the
Page 33
July 31, 1990
Plan, when in fact they may be able to meet the deadlines under their
current approved Development Order.
With regard to vested rights, Mr. Blanchard affirmed that deter-
minations will be made by a hearing officer on specific projects that
have been authorized by the County and also the extent of developer
commitments to that project. He stated that changes to Development
Orders that are protected by positive determinations of vested rights
represents changes to the data that was used by the hearing officer in
making recommendations for a final order. He noted that under Policy
5.1, it would be possible for Staff to change that approval to
something different than what was acted on by the hearing officer. He
indicated that as discussed with the exemption provision, it is
entirely possible that under the ex/sting approved Development Order,
development that is inconsistent with the Plan, may not proceed.
Mr. Blanchard advised that in addition to those two points, an
additional change is recommended to remove the language that allows
changes to Development Orders that retain the equivalent density and
intensity of use. He affirmed that the new language would require an
actual reduction in density and intensity to move toward consistency
with the Plan. He remarked that Staff is proposing that any permitted
changes that do occur under Policy 5.1 should include a provision that
the intensity of development should move significantly in the direc-
tion of compatibility with the Growth Management Plan: a 20~ reduc-
tion in intensity or density is the appropriate test to meet the term
"significant',.
In answer to Gommissioner Volpe, Mr. Blanchard advised that the
phrase that states "equal to or less than" relates to new zoning
requests that will be presented to the Collier County Planning
Commission and the Board of County Commissioners.
Attorney George Varnadoe stated that the problem with the proposed
language of Policy 5.1 is that there will be impacts to ongoing pro-
Jects since it does not address improved properties. He indicated
that i.e. if changes were desired in Pelican Bay that may reduce the
Page 34
July 31, 1990
density in any amount, there is no mechanism in this Policy to do, nor
is there any mechanism to make changes unless the project is brought
into total compliance.
Attorney Varnadoe called attention to the exemptions from the
Zoning Re-Evaluation Ordinance for those projects that may not be
amended. He stated that when a project is underway tn 3 to § years,
and reasonable changes are desired, there is nothing in the Policy to
allow these changes.
With regard to the 20% criteria, Mr. Varnadoe stated that the City
adopted a similar Policy which allows developments that are improved
to make changes in the Development Order as long as there is a reduc-
tion toward the Growth Management Plan, but the proposed language
would not allow this.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Blanchard stated that
Staff's proposed language addresses a percentage of the entirety of
the project.
Attorney Varnadoe presented a copy of proposed language changes.
He suggested that an "either or test" be used with a meaningful reduc-
tion in intensity or density because large projects with a 5% or 10~
reduction would be a great amount. He stated that there will be times
when the County would benefit from a change in Development Orders that
may or may not reduce the density of a project, but there may be other
substantial benefits. He indicated that there should be the ability
for the Commission to have the flexibility to allow these projects
that have been exempt for one reason or another, from having to be
in straight compliance with the Growth Management Plan, and allow them
to go forward to make reasonable changes that will bring them Into
compliance with the Plan.
Attorney Varnadoe called attention to Paragraph I (b) of his
language, noting that he feels that the Policy should include a provi-
sion for projects that receive an exemption from the Zoning
Re-Evaluation Ordinance that require construction to commence, but to
make certain that construct/on is moving forward before any changes
Page 35
July 31, 1990
are allowed.
Mr. Varnadoe stated that Paragraph 2 is the same as recommended by
Staff.
Mr. Varnadoe pointed out that Paragraph 3 is the change that
constitutes a meaningful reduction in the density or intensity or
results in other meaningful benefits to the County.
Attorney Varnadoe advised that Paragraph 4 gives the Commission
the discretion as to how much intensity/density is required to look at
the compatibility with other Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Growth Management Plan.
Mr. Blanchard reminded the Commission that if it is desired to go
with the concept of other meaningful benefits, Policy 8.1 relates spe-
cifically to the Future Land Use Element which deals with the types of
land uses and the intensity of development that is planned for the
future of the community and not to the entire Growth Management Plan.
He stated that he is hesitant to include "meaningful benefits".
Mr. Blanchard stated that with regard to Mr. Varnadoe's first two
points, they are actually both improved properties. He recalled that
at the public hearing on July 25th, discussions were held with regard
to Policy 5.9 and the language was amended to change "developed" to
"improved" and also that "properties which do not conform to the
Future Land Use Element but are improved or found to have vested
zoning rights shall be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use
Element" He noted that Staff was given direction by the Commission
to address "improved property" in terms of conformity and non-
conformity, and he is suggesting that it is appropriate to deal with
improved property under Policy 5.9 when Staff comes back to the Board.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned whether Staff has a problem with
the language remaining as is, in order to afford the improved property
owner the opportunity that Mr. Varnadoe is suggesting. Mr. Blanchard
replied that the issue still remains as to whether it is proper to
include the language or to delete it. He noted that the Commission
has the option of a second amendment cycle during the year. He Indi-
Page 36
July 31, 1990
cared that in his opinion, it is better not to include the language,
but in the meantime obtain direction from the Board, and then insert
the appropriate language.
Commissioner Saunders asked if it would be acceptable to approve
Staff's recommendation for Policy §.1, changing the second sentence to
read: "However, any change to an existing Development Order for
unimproved or improved property, whether residential, commercial or
industrial...,, and modifying (3) on the fo/lowing page with the defi-
nition of "significant" as follows: "significant" shall mean a reduc-
tion in density or intensity equal to or greater than 50% of the
inconsistency.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that "unimproved property" cannot
be included in the language.
Commissioner Saunders called attention to "significant,, in terms
of the reduction in intensity or density equal to a percentage of the
inconsistency, and asked Mr. Blanchard what he recommends as the
desired amount of percentage? Mr. Blanchard responded that §0% would
be an acceptable amount.
Attorney George Varnadoe stated that he believes that all aspects
of development should be addressed in Policy §.1. He cited that
Policy 5.9 indicates that if improved, the property may be developed
out to the extent of the lot.
Commissioner Volpe mentioned that the planned and improved
dwelling units or the PUP's are being exempt due to the dedication of
a right-of-way or some other dedication with no time lines and any
time in the future they can be amended and allowed to proceed incon-
sistently with the Growth Management Plan.
Attorney Varnadoe replied that the properties that are not
included in Policy 5.1 are those that have time lines included, and
they are not allowed to make any changes in the future unless they are
totally consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
Mr. Blanchard revealed that once exemptions are granted, and the
time line is met, the definition of the test of commencement of
Page
July 31, 1990
construction is met, but the exemptions that Mr. Varnadoe is
suggesting, falls into the same concerns that he has with improved
properties.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that those types of exemptions are
really two part exemptions: the criteria for the exemptions is met;
and then additional things must be done in order to maintain that
exemption. He explained that the County has no assurances that those
things will happen, and therefore, it is acknowledged that the deve-
loper will commence construction in good faith when in fact he may
never do that.
Commissioner Hasse questioned whether Mr. Blanchard concurs with
Attorney Varnadoe's suggestions? Mr. Blanchard indicated that he does
concur with Mr. Varnadoe's language with the exception of the issue of
"improved properties" and Item l(b} relating to the inclusion of add/-
tlonal exemptions.
Attorney George Varnadoe stated that if Policy §.1 is adopted,
there is a certain segment of the populous that is allowed to develop
but has no ability to make reasonable changes to the property and he
believes that this is a fatal flaw in the Growth Management Plan. He
indicated that if inconsistencies in a Development Order are to be
addressed, they should be handled in one Policy rather than scattering
same throughout the Growth Management Plan.
Mr. Varnadoe pointed out that because Briarwood does not receive
an exemption for the road dedication since it is not a time deadline
project, reasonable changes could not be made to this project unless
it was totally consistent with the Future Land Use Element.
Attorney Donald Pick-worth voiced concerns with regard to the ina-
bility for property deemed "improved" to make changes, in addition to
the exemption language. He cited that the Wiggins Pass project has
changed its original site plan to a 226 unit development and instead
of 3 high rise buildings, it now has 8 or 9 lower buildings with the
"RT" Zoning District guidelines. He indicated that in the meantime,
the County announced that it had acquired the land across the waterway
53'
Page 38
July 31, 1990
and would build a boat ramp. He stated that he has concerns relative
to some of the units being very closely placed to a County park, and
he is interested in the ability to make some shifts in the site plan.
He related that because this project is a 2.4 exemption which requires
start of construction and continuing in good faith, the Policy pre-
vents him from doing this.
Attorney Bruce Anderson indicated that as a matter of equity, a
person who has started construction on his pro3ect should be more
entitled to change his building plans than someone who has done
nothing at all.
County Attorney Guyler advised that Staff is not intending to
address these examples of ongoing pro3ects, but there are hundreds of
other examples which are very complex and should not be addressed in
this Policy, and they should all be comprehensively done at the same
time.
Attorney Anderson stated that he concurs with County Attorney
Cuyler, but unfortunately, he believes that the Commission is taking a
piece meal approach. He mentioned that the Settlement Agreement which
was entered into with DCA is under challenge and one of the challenges
is based on the Policy which is being discussed. He noted that the
Commission is in litigation with the citizens group from the City of
Naples, and even if the Board is inclined to change or delete the
Po/icy, today is not the day to do so. He suggested that the
Commission wait until December to make any changes and work out a
settlement with the people who are ob3ecting to the Comp Plan.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that his position is that the
Oommisston does, in all cases, what it feels to be appropriate and the
considerations as mentioned by Attorney Anderson are not part of the
considerations that are being dealt with today.
Attorney Dudley Goodlette remarked that he has clients with
improved properties that need protection from the proposed ordinance.
He revealed that this is a complex issue noting that this Policy was
very seriously debated in 1987 at the Citizens Advisory Committee
Page 39
JUly 31, 1990
level and also by the CCPC. He indicated that he endorses the com-
ments that have been made. He stated that he feels that County
Attorney Cuyler's proposal which was forwarded to the Commission is an
improvement, but the comments which were forwarded back to Mr. Cuyler
by Attorney Varnadoe is a further improvement, and he encourages the
adoption of same. He explained that there needs to be a vehicle to
permit improved property to change, and he sees no reason for not per-
mitring the 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 exemptions to make changes providing that
the termination or exemption is not extended by virtue of anything
that is done today. He stated that the language in (1) (b) as pro-
vided by Mr. Varnadoe accomplishes this. He noted that if people are
going to be forced to build out those projects on which they have
SMP's, or building permits in accordance with their terms and not per-
mit them to improve those by reducing the intensity or density they
will build those projects. He indicated that he does not believe that
the Growth Management Act mandates that those projects are not to
proceed.
Commissioner Volpe questioned why the exemptions under 2.4.1 and
2.4.2 are not being addressed? Mr. Blanchard stated that in his
nion, these exemptions are based on very specific Development Orders,
and the changes to those Development Orders basically changes the cri-
teria that Staff has used to grant those exemptions. He noted that
there is no guarantee that a project will build, based on a
Development Order. He indicated that when SDP's and final plats are
received, those projects meet all County Codes and in the County's
view, it is a "good project". He advised that by making changes to
the approved Development Order it may enhance what the developer can
do with the project, but by approving those changes, development is
being encouraged to continue inconsistent with the Plan, and could be
removing the opportunity that the Commission has to direct development
into consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
Commissioner Volpe noted that Attorney Goodlette expressed that
by not allowing flexibility, a project may be built out that could be
Page 40
July 31, lgg0
a better project than the one that was approved during the rush.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that Staff will be back before the
Commission with regard to those projects that are going to be built
out over the course of 3-10 years and the exemptions relating to same.
Commissioner Shanahan stated that it is obvious that there is an
impasse with respect to Staff and the development community. He
indicated that everyone concurs that there must be a way to address
the problems in relationship to the "improved properties,,.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he ts willing to accept the
language for Policy §.1 (3) as follows: The Board of County
Commissioners finds that the change constitutes a meaningful reduction
in the density or intensity permitted by that development order, or
results in other meaningful benefits to the County.
Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner ¥olpe and
carried unanimously, to approve Policy ~.1 u recomnded by Staff,
Including the chmng~ ms outlined by County tttorne¥ Cu¥1er; and Stmff
to expedite a comprehensive approach to the "Improved property"
problem.
Growth Planning Director recalled that at the meeting on July 25,
1990, there were discussions relative to the appropriateness of adding
language to address the industrial type of land uses in the Rural
District of the County. He stated that he ts recommending that no
language be included pertaining to that issue, but rather to stay with
the original proposal of Staff to change the access definitions on
collector and local roads that do not go through predominantly resi-
dential areas for three basic reasons. He indicated that there was an
error on his part since he assumed that uses were to be located adja-
cent to existing industrial type uses, and that there was a reason for
the probable resources in the rural earth mining area. He noted that
there was an admitted attempt to amend the Plan for one specific pro-
perty and one specific property owner who would not be using the
resources of the adjacent mining site. Therefore, he advised that
this changes his philosophy as to whether this type of amendment is
Page 41
July 31, 1990
appropriate for the entire rural area. He indicated that con-
sideration of the proposed language is really more appropriate as a
formal amendment application and would give Staff the additional time
to conduct a more thorough analysis. He stated that the amendment
process is always open on an annual basis to anyone in the County, and
is more appropriate in this case. He noted that he ts recommending
that the language remain as proposed by Staff originally with the one
change which was agreed to relative to clartftcatlon of the language
for otl and gas exploration and production as underlined in his memo.

Planner Arnold referred to PU-90-10, H & D Communications, Limited
Partnership, which is a request for a Provisional Use per Section
8.10.b within RMF-6 zoning district for a communication tower and
small equipment building, located on Whitaker Road, 5/8 mile east of
County Barn Road, Section 17, Township 50 South, Range 26 East. He
stated the 9-1/2 acre site has a 313 foot existing communication tower
and this PU is requesting an additional 393 foot tower. Ne said the
property is surrounded by vacant RMF-6 zoned lands to the east and to
the west. To the north, he informed, is Estate-zoned property with
scattered residential homes. He said the Youth Haven PUD is to the
south and across Whitaker Road. Ne explained the tower is proposed to
be constructed at least 300 feet from all property lines and is
designed to collapse upon itself in the event of heavy winds. He
stated the site is heavily wooded and the retention of native vegeta-
tion outside the development envelope should provide sufficient buf-
fering for future development in the surrounding area. He concluded
staff and the CCPC recommend Petition PU-90-10 for approval subject to
the stipulations in the agreement sheet.
Commissioner Volpe asked if the service can be accomplished by
increasing the height of the existing tower?
Mr. John Norman, assisting Ms. Mary TydinGs, agent for H R D
Communications replied the existing tower was built with a shrinking
base top and it is almost physically impossible to remove the shrunken
top to increase the height. He added the existing tower will not sup-
port the added weight, nor will it meet current buildinG codes for
windload.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Norman replied there will be
Page 43

2 radio stations and several communication centers on the site. He
said both the existing tower and the new one will be needed to accom-
modate that plan.

dollars. He indicated he is looking forward to a workshop on the
suggestions of the Co~ittee and also would like to make this an on-

Mr. Ross Obley, Chairman of the Cost Control and Productivity

~s re~estinG a workshop be established where each subco~ttee can
review reco~endations and respond to ~esttons. He said the
Oo~lttee ts further requesting a feedback session be established
approximately 90 days after the workshop to review accomplishments and
d~spos~tton of the recommendations. He ~nd~cated there are about
reco~endations ~n the entire project. He said there should be an
ongoing cost or productivAty review by taxpayers and suGGested
appointments for 3 years with 3 of 9 people changing every year. He
sta~ed all County government should be included not only Gouty
Manager staff. He reported a further recommendation Is to extend the
use of volunteers for real work not only for consultation. He advised
other suGGestions are establishing a utility authority and a board of
zonfnG appeals. He stated Cowry f~ds should not be applied toward
charity and social programs, but toward meetin~ ~rowth m~aGement and
other capital infrastructure needs. Finally, he said there are

Item ~8B
RESOLUTION ~90-40! CREATING THE LELY COP~UNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
PURSUANT TO F.S. 190 - ADOPTED WITH CONDITIONS
Mr. John Agnelli, President of Lely Community Development
District, presented a petition for the creation of the Lely Community
Development District pursuant to F.S. 190. He stated the property ts
located at the northwest corner of C.R. 951 and U.S. 41.
Attorney Kenza Van Assenderp, representing Lely Community
Development District, explained Florida Statute (F.S.) 190 contains an
opportunity for the Board of County Commissioners by resolution to
state approval or disapproval of a Community Development District
(CDD) or to take no action. He said within F.S. 190 is a Pre-emption
Provision, Section 190.004(3), which states that all laws, rules,
regulations, ordinances and other special districts, i.e., Collier
County Water/Sewer District, apply to the use of the land on which the
190 district would be established for Lely. He stated also contained
in that provision is the duty of the Board of County Commissioners not
to do anything inconsistent with all laws that apply. In introducing
the special powers of this district, he said, it further states that
the district board of supervisors shall exercise their powers subject
Page 47
July 31, 1990
to all laws, etc. He said this means although the district is tech-
nically independent as a special purpose local government, County laws
will govern the use of the land. He indicated the benefits to Collier
County by creation of the Lely CDD include elimination of problems
currently being experienced with homeowners associations; elimination
of proliferation of a variety of municipal service taxing units or
municipal service benefit units; and an opportunity of partnership
between the CDD and Collier County in growth management and con-
currency management impacts. He informed a report of the CDD's every-
day detailed implementation plans will be sent to the Board of County
Commissioners and the Department of Community Affairs and, under the
CDD accountability law, Collier County will then have the opportunity
to decide whether or not to use and rely on the systems and facilities
in the County's capital improvements element. He said another benefit
is residents of Lely CDD will pay taxes to the School Board and the
County. He stated based upon experience, there is a high propensity
of enhanced property values w/thin a CDD which can result in increased
revenue for the County. He also said individual property owners will
address concerns to the management of Lely and not the Board of County
Commissioners regarding taxes and assessments on the CDD. He said
under F.S. 190, a Community Development D/strict is the best tool
against incorporation of the urban service areas.
Assistant County Attorney Lawson reported this is a policy deci-
sion embodied in the general law of the State of Florida and the
Board's decision will be as advisors to the Governor and his Cabinet.
He said in making that decision, the crucial aspect is the creation of
an independent special district will divest the County of control for
the delivery and management of certain infrastructure related items,
i.e., roads, water/sewer, providing it is not inconsistent with the
Board's special act, water management, bridges and culverts and the
maintenance of roadways. He stated the real issue is whether the
benefits being implied by the petitioner are significant. He indi-
cated staff's position is the benefits, although available, are not as
Page 48
July 31, 1990
significant because they may be pre-existing conditions that need to
be met. He referred to discussion regarding Pelican Bay and informed
some similarities are important to consider, such as when future
control is turned over to the residents of the CDD. He said staff has
discussed with the developer the alternative of creating an MSBU ini-
tially, then an MSTU to continue management of the facilities with the
Board of County Commissioners providing it with dedicated counsel and
contract administration. He stated those people would work with the
developer but have their allegiance to the Board of County
Commissioners. He reported the petitioner has rejected that proposal
because they seek control on a long-term basis, or until control is
turned over to residents within that newly created government. He
added any special taxes or special assessments levied by an indepen-
dent district will appear on the tax bills sent to all County resi-
dents. He continued the final issue ts creation of CDD's in the urban
area. He said if the petition is approved, the question arises
whether this will cause a proliferation of small municipalities or a
series of CDD's. He concluded staff is not making a recommendation
for or against Communi'ty Development Districts, but is ready to assist
the Board in either direction.
Commissioner Saunders noted three municipal services that would be
under the control of the district: water, sewer and Irrigation. He
stated, if approved, he would like a statement on the record that
water and sewer will be Collier County facilities and Gollier County
customers, and in the event the County in the future wants to provide
irrigation services, irrigation customers and facilities will be
turned over to Collier Gounty upon request and at no cost to the
Gounty.
Attorney Van Assenderp stated water and sewer powers belong to
Gollier County. He added that irrigation power is available to the
ODD, not as a utility but under its water management and control
power, however, the petitioner agrees to that stipulation.
Commissioner Volpe commented the acknowledgments made by the
Page 49
July 31, 1990
petitioner should be in the form of an interlocal agreement between
the developer and the Board of County Gommtssloners.
Mr. Agnellt indicated he is willing to sign such an tnterlocal
agreement, to be done as the first order of business by the District.
Assistant County Attorney Lawson recommended if the inclination is
to approve the petition, the Board should make a supportinG resolution
based upon a memorialization of that issue now before the mandatory
hearing on September 19, 1990. He said the Commissioners should fully
recognize that such an agreement is not legally enforceable but rather
is a memoriallzation of the representations by Lely to obtain the sup-
port of the Board. He referred to the request by Commissioner
Saunders that irrigation services be conveyed to the County upon its
request for nominal consideration. He informed for the record nominal
consideration means $10.00.
Commissioner GoodniGht stated the Development Order, DRI and PUD
have all been signed by the Department of Community Affairs, the
Regional Planning Council, Lely Development and the Board of County
Gommissioners agreeing water and sewer will be part of Collier County
Water-Sewer District. She asked if the Development Order would pre-
cede the ODD and if so, would that take care of the issue of irriga-
tion?
Assistant County Attorney Lawson explained the reason for being so
specific is Lely is a landowner and is not a government, therefore, is
not able to make an agreement in this meeting. He said Mr. Agnelli is
stating as the representative of the primary constituent that he will
cause this government as its first substantive act, to adopt an
interlocal agreement with Collier County. He stated this is the fra-
mework of that agreement so there is harmonious interplay between the
Water-Sewer District, the County and the CDD. He advised once it is
turned over to the residents, there is no guarantee it will continue
to be harmonious, but hopefully this will set the track for it.
Assistant Gounty Attorney Lawson listed points of emphasis which
the petitioner consented to include in a formal agreement.

Its first substantive act to enter into an tnterlocal
agreement with Collier County and the Collier County
Water-Sewer District which:
Confirms the Acknowledgments in Exhibit 7 of the
Petition;
Specifically acknowledges that the special act creating
the Collier County Water-Sewer District and all amend-
ments thereto, the Collier County Utilities Standards
and Procedures Ordinance, the Collier County Subdivision
Regulations, all as amended and their successors in
function are "governmental planning, environmental and
land development regulation" and will be so recognized
in light of any future analysis of Section 190.004(3),
Florida Statutes;
That all entitles, whether public or private including
the CDD, shall and will be obligated to convey, in
accordance with standard County procedures, all water
and sewer facilities to the County and its Water-Sewer
District without cost to the County or the Water-Sewer
District, and that any such facilities will not serve as
security for any form of financing or bond indebtedness;
That the provisions of Section Ig0.046, Florida
Statutes, will and shall have no affect concerning the
transfer of water and sewer facilities, in accordance
with standard County procedures, to the County and its
Water-Sewer District;
E0
That the special act creating the Collier County
Water-Sewer District, Collier County Utilities Standards
and Procedures Ordinance, and Collier County's Land
Development Regulations, all as amended and their suc-
cessors in function, will and shall control over the
provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; and whe-
never there is the potential that any of the County's
statutes, ordinances or regulations conflict with the
provisions of Chapter 190, that the parties will take
actions to harmonize the statutes and regulations tn a
way that it is advantageous to the concept of providing
regional water, sewer, irrigation, and stormwater mana-
gement services and facilities by County or the County's
Water-Sewer District.
Fo
That if irrigation or dual water facilities are imple-
mented within the CDD, the facilities and operation
Page 51
July 31, 1990
thereof will be conveyed to the County for its
Water-Sewer District for the nominal consideration of
$10.00 at such time as the County so requests and
embarks upon and is able to provide irrigation services
to individual residential and non-residential proper-
ties.
The Petitioner will notify all third party purchasers of land
so they are aware of the agreements made today and the
tnterlocal agreement in the future.
Tape
Commissioner Saunders communicated his desire to reserve the right
of the Board of County Commissioners to appoint a member to the Board
of Supervisors of the Lely Co~munity Development District. General
discussion of this subject ensued with no action taken.
County Attorney Cuyler recognized Assistant County Attorney Mark
Lawson before the Board for his tremendous efforts on this project.
This item was brought back to the BCC on September 11, 1990,
at which time a resolution was adopted, therefore, there will
be no resolution for this date.

CON~AOT WITH QUALTEC, INC. FOR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROCESS - APPrOVeD
Quality Improvement Coordinator Gotham advised that Qualtec, Inc.,
is the quality services subsidiary of FP&L Group. He reported that
there are 11 Jurisdictions in Florida that have a comprehensive
quality improvement process in the public sector. He indicated that
Palm Beach, Pinellas, Sarasota and Volusia Counties are contractors
with Qualtec and have in place the FPL process that Staff is recom-
mending.
Mr. Gorham stated that Purchasing Director Carnell went through
various professional services to determine which programs are
available, and found that the FP&L program is extremely unique. He
indicated that the Giran Institute, Philip Crosby Co., QCI
International and FP&L are all marketing quality improvement pro-
cesses, but many of these fell short. He explained that because of
the low cost of the FP&L program, its focus on several theories and
techniques, and its adaptability to Collier County's organization,
Staff found this to be a totally unique program.
Mr. Gotham explained that Qualtec, Inc. will provide al/ of the
information, training, tools, planning and the necessary development
for the process, and will assist in the development of a long term
implementation plan. He stated that the process will be set up in
four phases, noting that the first phase, Investigation and Planning,
is fairly complete. He indicated that the second phase is Systems
Structure and Development which will be followed by orientation and
training, and then quality improvement teams deployment will begin. He
related that it is desired that a pilot program be set up to make any
necessary adjustments in the process, before the program is opened up
to all divisions.
Mr. Gotham stated that the contract is basically a material
licensing agreement which permits Collier County to use the program
materials for §0 years. He pointed out that the second portion of the
Page §4
July 31, 1990
contract is for 2 years of services at fixed prices. He indicated
that Staff is recommending approval of the contract in the amount of
$4,600 for developmental work for the current fiscal year; and
appropriations in the amount of $44,100 are required for FY 90-91 for
the training of the County Manager's Staff, Management Office
Directors, and the Division Administrators who will then train 20 team
leaders and 10 team facilitators will set up lead teams. He noted
that during the second year of the contract, County personnel will be
trained to take over the instruction and management of the program.
Commissioner Saunders explained that this may be an excellent
program, but unfortunately, there will be upcoming budget problems
within the next 2 weeks, and he does not feel that the County can com-
mit to fund this program until determination is made on the budget
cuts that will need to be sustained. He indicated that he does not
believe that this is the appropriate time to consider this program,
since the Commission has taken the position that the budget will be
cut substantially.
Commissioner Volpe remarked that he has reservations about com-
mitting to this expenditure in the 1990-91 budget. He recalled that
during the budget workshops, Staff reduced their travel budgets in a
trade-off effort to be able to obtain this type of in service
training, which over the long term, will be cost efficient and will
result in cost savings.
Co~missioner Shanahan suggested that considerations be given to
the program, noting that the time has come to find ways to improve the
productivity of every County employee. He indicated that he fully
understands the budget constraints, but believes that this is the best
place to spend the money.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that this item was not "red tagged"
during the budget workshops, and the Commission seemed to concur that
this program should be left in the budget. She explained that the
point is, that there is a budget crunch, and the intent is to save
money and that employees become more productive. She revealed that
Page 55
July 31, 1990
she believes that the $44,100 is certainly a good investment to bring
additional money into the County by saving it in the future.
Commissioner Hasse related that he feels that the money that will be
spent for this program will return itself many times over in the very
near future, and will teach the employees economy and the proper use
of their time and energies.
County Manager Dorrill reminded the Commission that this will be
the only training focus for next year, noting that the Citizens
Productivity Committee reviewed the program and recommend same as part
of their report to the Commission.
Commissioner Volpe indicated that he provided County Manager
Dorrill with the General Motors Employee Suggestion Plan which is a
spin off of the subject program. County Manager Dorrill stated that
this has been discussed, and there is an excellent opportunity, as
part of this program, to incorporate an incentive program that is con-
tained in the GM model.

Item ~9H2
iUI~t~RY OF TENTATIVH MILLAGE RATES - APPROVED
July 31, 1990
Budget and Management Director McNees advised that on July 24,
1990, the Commission took action that the General Fund and the MSTD
General Fund increases over the rollback tax rate be capped at 14%.
He recalled that the millage numbers were calculated at that time, but
he informed the Commission that they may not bs exactly precise. He
indicated that after a review of the budget si~readsheets, it was
determined that the actual MSTD General Fund increase was only 5.4~,
and Staff did not believe that the Board's direction was to increase
this to 14%. He related that in order for the proper millage to be
legally adopted, this item is being presented so that the correct
millage may be adopted rather than arbitrarily increasing it to i4%.
In addition, he stated that the millage for two small Lighting
Districts which are new this year, were calculated in the aggregate
tax rate, but were inadvertently omitted from the detail, and they
have been added so that they may be adopted.
Sheriff's Office Finance Director Blankenship, stated that she
requested that this item be removed from the consent agenda and
discussed on the regular agenda. She explained that she has reviewed
the Sheriff's budget and has identified areas which will result in
compromises in order for the budget to be cut. She indicated that
there are some MSTD funds which may need to be pulled from the General
Fund, and the 5.4~ cap would not allow the transfer or adjustment for
some of the other items. She called attention to the fact that by
limiting the General Fund to 14%, only those funds as identified on
Page 35 of the tentative budget can be cut, and these are primarily
Emergency Services, EMS, Parks and Recreation, Museum, and the
Sheriff's Office, as well as the Board and County Manager's
Administrative Offices. She requested that the Commission reconsider
capping at something higher than the 14~ which would give the Sheriff
some leeway to work further with the County Manager.
Commissioner Saunders stated that when discussions were held with
Page 57
July 31, 1990
regard to the tentative millage last week, he voted against the cap
which was imposed since he believed that the budget hearings needed to
be held prior to making the arbitrary ceiling which was imposed. He
indicated that this is the last opportunity to consider the cap on the
increase in the General Fund, and would give the Commission some
flexibility.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mrs. Blankenship stated that she
is recommending a 20% cap, which would allow some flexibility.
Oommisstoner Saunders indicated that once the tentative millage is
set, the cap is set on the number of dollars that can be received from
ad valorem taxes from the Sheriff's Office and other services. He
remarked that if the cap is set too low, the Sheriff needs to be told
to cut back in the level of service or the County Manager's budget
will need to be raided to prevent the layoff of road patrol officers.
County Manager Dorrtll stated that he is hopeful that the Sheriff
will work with him to apply some of the same techniques that his
agency did to reduce the numbers in force for administrative and non-
essential people, and cut back on out of Gounty travel, the number of
vehicles that the deputies take home, and the number of training
programs. He related that for the Commission to indicate that the
General Fund will be set at a 14~ revenue increase over the preceding
year, and then raise it to 20~ the following week, sends a wrong
signal.
Mrs. Blankenshtp advised that last year, over $90,000 was saved by
decertifying positions, and filling those positions with non-certified
officers.
Commiee~oner Shanahan moved, seconded by Com--ieeloner Ooodnight

SKTTLEMENT AND R~LEASE AGREEMENT RE LITIGATION CASK OF SUB~AY OF MARCO

County Attorney Cuyler advised that this item relates to a lawsuit
which is in progress, and he is recommending that the Gommission enter
into a Settlement and Release Agreement in the matter of Subway of
Marco Island, Inc., v. Board of County Commissioners. He indicated
that this situation began in 1987, wherein Subway applied for a
building permit for renovations which was granted and a Certificate of
Occupany was issued. He stated that when an Occupational License was
applied for at a later date, it was determined that there was insuf-
ficient parking and the License was denied, and the lawsuit ensued.
Gounty Attorney Cuyler requested that the subject agreement be
entered into by the Board of County Commissioners.
In answer to Commissioner Shanahan, County Attorney Cuyler advised
that the agreement runs only to the Plaintiff, and expires when that
lease expires.
Co~misstoner Shanahan ~oved, ~econded by Conlsstoner Volpe and
carried unant~ousl¥, to approve the Settlement and Release Agreement

COOFER~S & LYBRAIqD SE.L~CTED AS PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR COLLIER
COUNTY FOR 2 Y~kRS~ WITH OPTION FOR 1 'FEAR [~N~'~IAL - APPROVED
Clerk Giles stated that the County's auditing contract with
Coopers & Lybrand has expired. He advised that a request for propo-
sals for auditing services was advertised on June 10, 1990. He
explained that Florida Statutes require that an Auditor Selection
Committee be formed to review the qualifications of the firms sub-
mitting proposals.
Clerk Giles reported that the Auditor Selection Committee
comprised of each constitutional officer, and Commissioner Volpe,
reviewed factors as prescribed in the Statutes, i.e. experience,
willingness to meet time requirements, location, workloads, etc. He
noted that each firm was ranked, based on those factors: Coopers &
Lybrand was first; Peat Marwick is second; Ernst & Young is third;
and Deloitte & Touche is fourth. He pointed out that 3 of the members
ranked Coopers & Lybrand first, and 3 of the members ranked Peat
Marwick first, and the Committee is recommending that the Commission
accept or amend the ranking of the public accounting firms and
authorize the Finance Director and the County Attorney to negotiate a
! year contract, with an option for the County to renew for each of 2
additional years, with the first ranked firm for future presentation
to and approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
In answer to Commissioner Goodnight, Mr. Giles advised that it was
the belief of the Committee that the contract should be for a 1 year
period, so that the work of the auditors could be evaluated with a
recommendation to the Board each year as whether the contract should
be renewed for an additional year.
Commissioner Volpe stated that 4 very capable firms made presen-
tations, and the first two firms were very close in their rankings.
He noted that typically, the top 3 firms submit their presentations to
the Commission.
Clerk Giles stated that in the past, the firms were submitted
Page 61
July 31, ~990
unranked to the Board, but this presents a problem, in that the selec-
tion committee reads the proposals of each of the firms, and inter-
views each of them individually. He indicated that the committee felt
it was unfair to come to the Commission, without presenting the
results of their work, and then leaving the final determination up to
the Board during a meeting. He explained that the Commission has the
discretion to accept or change the rankings of the committee.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Glerk Giles stated that he
believes that both of the top ranked firms are very good CPA firms,
noting that he felt that Peat Marwick was more qualified with the
people that they had assigned to Gollier County, but he also has had a
very good working relationship with Coopers & Lybrand.
Commissioner Saunders ~oved, ~econded b~ Commissioner Goodntght
to direct Staff to negotiate a contract with Coopers & Lybrand for a 3
year contract.
Clerk Giles stated that the Committee has recommended a i year
contract with an option to renew for each of the 2 additional years.
Commissioner Saunders amended his motion to authorize Staff to
negotiate a 2 year contract with Coopers & Lybrand, with the option to
renew for 1 year. Commissioner Goodnight accepted the amendment.
Commissioner Volpe reported that one of the things that was deter-
mined during the interview process was that in order to maintain the
integrity and independence, it is best to periodically change the
auditors, even though they are qualified, noting that Coopers &
Lybrand has had a contract with the Co%'.nty for the past 3 years.
Commissioner Goodnight declared that she feels that Coopers &
Lybrand has done an excellent Job in working for the Board of County
Commissioners, and suggested that they be put on notice that at the
end of the three years, the Commission will be seeking another firm.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unani~ly.
