Page 1 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD March 16 , 1984 OLD BUSINESS PRESENTATION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY PLANNER TERRY CLARK Mr. Terry Clark , Planner from the Collier County Planning Department, presented, in particular, portions of the recently adopted Collier County Comprehensive Plan as they relate to the County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He stated this new Plan affords the Advisory Board an opportunity to play an active role in determining the quantity and quality of future neighborhood park development. For background purposes, Mr . Clark said the Plan was adopted as an ordinance on December 6, 1983 and is, therefore, a local law. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a "blueprint" for all future development in the County. Consequently, all proposed developments in the County must be reviewed for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Any proposed development which is determined to be in conflict with the Plan shall not be approved by the County. Continuing, Mr . Clark explained that of the eleven chapters composing the Plan, two of them pertain directly to the Advisory Board - (1) The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Element and (2) the Future Land Use Element. The Parks, Recreation and Open Space chapter applies recreation planning standards to existing conditions and arrives at surpluses or deficiencies of the present recrea :ion facilities. It then offers methods of reducing the deficiencies in the County. Regarding (2) the Future Land Use chapter, Mr . Clark reported it offers one strategy in providing more neighborhood parks and facilities. This chapter determines the maximum density (residential units per gross acre) a Page 2 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD March 16, 1984 parcel of land may receive by using a point system. One factor in the point system is neighborhood parks. This factor is an optional part of the point system and is intended to be used as an incentive by the County. If a developer complies with the neighborhood parks section of the point system his or her development may receive a higher density, thereby increasing the profit margin of the project. He had the members refer to Page 31 of the Future Land Use chapter where Criteria and Site Dedication & Selection Criteria are defined in detail . In general , the Neighborhood Parks section of the point system states that if a developer so chooses he or she may dedicate a park site , make a payment-in-lieu-of-dedication or any combination of the two . The section also states that a developer may receive credit towards a dedication or payment for certain private on-site 1 facilities. In conclusion, Mr . Clark stated that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will play a major role in determining the location of a dedicated park site, the amount of a payment-in-lieu-of dedication and which private on-site facilities may be credited towards a dedication or payment- in-lieu. The recommendation of the Advisory Board will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for their consideration during a development review. He invited any comments or questions and gave his office telephone number - 774-8281 for future use. UPDATE REPORT FROM MR. TOM PEEK, WILSON, MILLER, BARTON, SOLL AND PEEK Mr . Tom Peek of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and Peek, referred to exhibits of Golden Gate, East Naples and Page 3 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD March 16 , 1984 Immokalee park drawings. He stated the firm is proceeding with the design elements in the East Naples and Golden Gate parks. Regarding the Marco Island park, Mr . Peek said he had met with the committee, formed from the Civic Association and the Taxpayers Association of the Island, several times in an effort to establish what kind of a facility the citizens want. Whether it will be a auditorium civic center or a gym or a combination has not yet been decided nor has the site been determined. The committee has composed a questionnaire which will be distributed to the citizens within the next two or three weeks. Once the decision as to what facility will be placed on the park site has been made then the project can go forward. Regarding the East Naples park site, Mr . Peek indicated they are proceeding with the design elements and that the Board of County Commissioners had voted on Tuesday, past, to go ahead with the agreement for a portion of the East Naples site as the School Board had proposed. Continuing, Mr . Peek stated the County has done a portion of the necessary clearing for the subsurface investigation and hopes the entire investigation will be completed within the week . As was discussed at the last meeting, Mr . Peek said they have finished the "cost estimates" for three alternatives on the Immokalee park site and will have the work finalized on Tuesday of next week in order for him to bring it to the citizens on Thursday, March 22, 1984. In reference to the "far end" of the Golden Gate park site, Mr . Peek reported they are proceeding with the design and indicated on the wall map the location of a problem they Page 4 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD March 16 , 1984 are having with the light poles on one of the ballfields. These poles are located within the required setback area that is specified on the zoning of the property It is his suggestion that the PUD document be modified to allow the light poles to remain and be covered with a Permitted Use application. Mr. Peek said they would be preparing the necessary document for the modification and at the same time, drafting the application for the rezoning of the East Naples site. The proposed method of rezoning this site will be to include the School property and the Park property into a Master PUD then identify the Permitted Uses within the School property and the Park property. Mr. Jim Richardson asked if BMX wanted to retain their tract of land and Mr. Peek replied in the affirmative, saying they have indicated a desire to build when the park is ready to go . There was a discussion regarding the excavation of approximately 3-1/2 acres of the 5 acres involved in the East Naples park site and Mr . Peek stated all materials would be used on site. Additionally, the cost of removing a large amount of "Exotics" is estimated to be approximately $10, 000. Mr. Dan Monaco reported that he is still talking with Pelican Bay regarding the North Naples park site and their price tag of $800, 000. He is of the opinion that the first date this proposition could be taken before the Board of County Commissioners would be April 3, 1984. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business to come before the Board. DISCUSSION OF ADDENDA Page 5 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD March 16 , 1984 Mr . Peek gave one item as being the Alternatives to be considered on the first phase of the Immokalee park . Mr. Monaco stated the Pelican Bay negotiations would be completed and a report could be given. Mr . Jim Stackpoole will be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners at next Tuesday's meeting as the fifth member of the Advisory Board. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, Mr. Monaco moved, seconded by Mr. Caballero and carried unanimously that the meeting be adjourned: Time: 2:40 P.M.
