Page 1 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24, 1985 INTRODUCTION OF NEW MEMBER - STEVE PRICE Mr. Caballero introduced Mr. Steve Price as the new member who represents the Immokalee area and welcomed him to the Board. AGENDA APPROVED WITH ADDENDA Mr. Caballero moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried unanimously, that the agenda be approved with Item VIB regarding the Review of the Marco Master Plan being deleted and Discussion of an Alternate Site for the Marco Island Community Center being added under Item VIB. NAMING OF COMMUNITY PARKS TO BE DISCUSSED AT BCC WORKSHOP Mr. Caballero stated that he wrote a letter to Commissioner Voss with regards to the naming of the community parks, adding that Commissioner Voss has indicated that this subject will be discussed at the BCC workshop on January 31, 1985. DISCUSSION RE ALTERNATE SITE FOR MARCO ISLAND COMMUNITY CTR. Mr. Ron Burton stated that it has been brought to his attention that there has been a proposal from Mr . Fred Bayles to donate some property on Marco Island along with some money to supply the community with an auditorium/civic center which affects the master plan. He stated that there has been a group on Marco Island that has received permission from the BCC to have a tax referendum to raise money to finish the parks, which is also affected by the proposal. He reported that Mr. Jim Vensel, an architect from Miami , is employed by Mr . Fred Bayles and will inform the parks board as to where the situation lies at this point. Mr. Jim Vensel stated that he has been involved with Marco Island for over 20 years and is part of the team of the Deltona Corporation that started the Island. He stated that since 1978 he has been in private practice and has been working Collier County exclusively. He stated that he is doing a hotel for Mr. Fred Bayles on the Island and there is also a hotel that is in suspended construction on the Island which is about to be restarted and completed as the Royce Hotel. He stated that part of the si.tua.tion concerning getting the hotel completed was that the feasibility study Page 2 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24, 1985 people and the Royce hotel operation needed to supply more parking and to meet the recreational facilities. He stated that Mr . Bayles has come up with a plan to satisfy the criteria for the parking and the dedication of recreational facilities. He stated that in working with Commissioner Pistor it appears that there is an opportunity for a broader benefit to the Island in general then just providing the recreational facilities and parking for the hotel . He noted that several weeks ago, there was a meeting with Commissioner Pistor to discuss the possible implementation of a program that would provide additional property to the Library for its expansion, five acres for Mr. Bayles' use for parking and recreational facilities, and to utilize the remainder of the site as a community center. He noted that the master plan of Marco Island did not specifically allocate a space for this, adding that it had quite a few parks and recreation areas and the new large park , but not enough. He stated that due to the competition for space between recreational facilities and civic facilities, Mr . Bayles felt that provision of this additional possible site to concentrate the civic and auditorium facilities on the Island could be very valuable as far as proceeding with several of the projects at the same time. He stated that the site that is being considered is the 12.67 acre school site near Winterberry and Collier Blvd . which is behind the present library on Marco Island. He stated that the Deltona Corporation has committed to Commis- sioner Pistor to provide an additional 1-1/2 acres behind the present library in order to expand it. He noted that Mr. Bayles is proposing to purchase the remainder of that site, which would be 11. 1 acres and then build on 5 acres, 11 tennis courts, 9 handball courts, the required parking and an additional 100 car parking for employees of this hotel . He stated that the facility would be run as a "open to the public facility" . He noted that the remainder of the site, which is a little over 6 acres, is suitable for a civic center project of approximately 18-20, 000 square feet with the attendant parking which would be approximately 450 cars. He indicated that he has done a preliminary study of the combined site to make sure that all the plans can be Page 3 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24, 1985 physically located on the site. He referred to a plan indicating the general location between Winterberry, Collier Blvd. , Landmark, and the present Library. He stated that the entire site was originally set aside as a school site and the School Board has said that they will not need the site. He said that Mr. Bayles proposes to contribute the first million dollars for the construction of the facility. He stated that the first element of this building would probably be a club facility building with meeting rooms and Mr . Bayles antici- pates that his million dollars would be used for that facility and could be built relatively soon. He noted that the remainder of the complex should be designed for ultimate expansion, adding that this would be the principle complex for civic organizations on the Island and the main recreation areas could be retained and used for recreation purposes. He stated that this whole situation is still under discussion, adding that this is essentially where the matter stands at the present time. He noted that the details have not been settled yet, adding that he hopes rather than confuse the Marco recreation situation, ~Pis will help relieve it by providing this facility on the site. He noted that the specifics have not been discussed at this point, simply the generalities. Mr . Burton questioned who would be responsible for the maintenance of the community center if Mr. Bayles is going to receive revenue out of it, to which Mr . Vensel stated that the preliminary consideration is that the million dollars would be created from Industrial Development Bonds and any revenue out of renting the community center for the outside would go toward the bond payments. Mr . Vensel stated that it has not been discussed as to who would be responsible for the maintenance of the facility. Mr. Caballero stated that the idea sounds exciting , but there are a lot of open ends at this point, noting that there should be more concrete guidelines before anything further is discussed . Mr. Venzel stated that Mr . Bayles is going to prepare a proposal and present it to the County Commission, adding that when it comes down to the end it would have to be a three-way Page 4 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24 , 1985 agreement with the County, Mr . Bayles, and Deltona Corporation. Mr. Price stated that Mr. Bayles should put together his ideas and present them to the Staff and then to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Burton stated that time is of the essence and he would like to have some sort of time schedule, adding that the Marco Island parks cannot be simply put on hold . After discussion from Mr. Frank Langford, Mr . Robert Demarest, Mr. Everett Ray, Mr. Bill Stearns, and Mr. Johnson within the audience regarding concerns about maintenance, scheduling of events , jurisdiction of the community center, the Industrial Development Bonds, and how the Library fits in, Mr. Vensel indicated that he would be bringing a proposal in writing to Commissioner Voss regarding the matter within a week to 10 days. Mr . Tom Peek of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. , stated that a few weeks wait is not much of a delay in order to work out details for a project that will benefit all the people of Marco Island, adding that six acres and one million dollars is hard to turn down . Public Services Administrator Norton stated that he is going to recommend that the Commissioners hold off discussing this matter at their workshop meeting on January 31, 1985, until the Parks Board has had a chance to look at the proposal, adding that there could be a special meeting called for this. UPDATE OF IMMOKALEE PARK CONSTRUCTION Mr. Peek indicated that Part I, Phase I is underway, adding that the clearing is 100% completed, the sanitary sewer construction is 90%, the potable water installation is 50%, the earthwork is 40% complete, and all the material for fencing and lighting has been ordered . Mr . Price stated that he is concerned with the height of the lighting for the baseball field, to which Mr. Peek stated that the baseball field has been designed to minor league standards. Mr . Price questioned as to when the ballfield would be able to be used, to which Mr. Peek stated that he is still Page 5 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24, 1985 trying for the first week in March. Parks & Recreation Director Vanatta stated that if the ballfield is not ready for the first week of March, the other field will be cut and conditioned so that the old ballfield will be able to be used when the season begins. STATUS REPORT ON PARK CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS Mr. Peek stated that on Part II of Immokalee as well as East Naples and Golden Gate is proceeding at the same time. He stated that presently he is concentrating on the architectural, electrical and landscaping for those parks. He stated that the engineering plans are pretty well complete. He indicated that, in general, things are going well and he hopes to have everything out for bid by the first of March. He stated that he needs to get together with Mr . Monaco to discuss the priority list for the North Naples park . Mr . Vanatta stated that the Winterberry Ballfield on Marco Island has received their lights and they should be installed by mid-February. He noted that the basketball court lights at Golden Gate have been ordered and should be installed within the next two weeks. He stated that the gates at the Pelican Bay Parking lot have been completed and the booths are up, adding that the parking meters should be installed by mid-February. He stated that work has been started with regards to the Gulf Coast League ballfields. He noted that with reference to Tigertail parking lot, it should be completed by the end of this month and security for that area is trying to be worked out. GENERAL DISCUSSION Mr. Monaco stated that when a situation comes up that is important to a certain area, the Board should be convened in that area for the input of the public. Mr. Price stated that the special meeting should be convened in Marco with reference to the written proposal from Mr. Bayles. Mr. Monaco moved, seconded by Mr. Price and carried unanimously, that the special meeting regarding the Marco Island Park be held on Marco Island and that any other special meeting that relates to a particular issue within a Page 6 PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD JANUARY 24, 1985 certain community also be held within that community.

Burton moved, seconded by Mr . Price and carried unanimously, that the minutes of January 24, 1985, be approved as presented. DISCUSSION OF MARCO ISLAND MASTER PLAN AND RELATED ITEMS, I .E. , BOND REFERENDUM —— Mr . Burton stated that he would like Mr . Peek of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soil & Peek, Inc. to explain the Master Plan. Mr . Peek stated that most everyone is familiar with the site which is 29 acres and 10 acres is an existing lake, adding that there is a 50 foot Lee County Electric Co--Op power line along the western boundary that is an exclusive easement . He stated that the balance of the property that can be dealt with is basically 12 acres in the northern portion of the site . He stated that he looked at the plans and dealt with the facility list that was provided to him by the sub-committee and he has tried to place those facilities 4.7.; on the property in a proper order. He stated that this has been discussed with about three different generations to try Page 1 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19 , 1985 and come up with the needs of everyone . He referred to the Master Plan indicating that as one enters the park there would be a divided roadway area well landscaped that would 4:; look onto a central building complex which consists of a civic center, a recreational facility, and a library, adding that he envisions all of them to be a completely enclosed facility. He stated that the civic center would be 20 000 square feet , 5,000 square feet for the recreational facility, and 8, 000 square feet for the library He noted that there are 375 parking spaces shown on the plan, adding that on the west side of the property there is a childrens play area and a future swimming pool location. He noted that the northern center portion of the property is an open play area which would be sufficient for football or soccer practice. He stated that this is also an area that is available for temporary parking if there is a major function going on at the civic center . He stated that in the southern portion of the property there is baseketball and volleyball, adding that there will be a dock facility by the lake that could be used for an informal music activity. He stated that there will be 4.".; picnicking around the lake. He noted at the very southern end of the property, there will be a maintenance building and landscaping around it He noted that around the lake is a jogging, walking, bicycling path which interconnects with other parts of the park adding that it would be a one mile jogging, walking, or bicycling trip around the lake. He noted that there are other water related features like fishing, docks, piers , boathouse, and paddleboats if that is decided upon in the future He stated that he thinks that he has covered the wish list that was provided to him as best as he can. Mr . Monaco stated that Mr . Peek has done a wonderful job trying to incorporate everybody' s suggestion into the park and should be complimented. Mr. Bill Stearns, President of the American Association of Retired People on Marco Island, auestioned the seating capacity of the civic center. Mr. Peek stated that the civic center is 20, 000 square feet and has 500 seats that are expandable to 700, adding that he has not done any type of Page 2 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19 , 1985 detail work on this . He stated that it is simply a pattern after what was presented a few years ago by the people of Marco Island . Mrs . Myra Daniels of Marco Island stated that she is *rod particularly interested in the civic center for housing of the philharmonic, adding that they are now playing to a capacity of 450. She questioned if there is any room for expansion to the civic center and if a balcony has been considered? Mr. Peek stated that a balcony has not been thought of because none of the interiors to the buildings have been looked at yet. He stated that as far as expansion, the property to the south would. permit expansion of about 8,000 square feet . Mr . Frank Langford, Chairman of the Marco Island Civic Association, stated that he would like to present a plan in which this park could be done with a quarter of a mill in the referendum. Mr. Burton stated that the Master Plan is now being presented and there is no discussion at this time as to how it will be paid for . Mr . Herb Savage, Architect , questioned why there is not (1;- -- parking in the southern corner for people that may have activities in that area? Mr . Peek stated that an alternative was prepared so that if the basektball and volleyball area is relocated it would fit in the southern corner and there would be parking spaces there. Ms . Marianna Westner, resident of Marco island, questioned. if there are arrangements to use the underneath of the buildings for recreational needs? Mr . Peek stated that the buildings must be built 12 feet above sea level in order to meet the flood criteria, adding that he has been looking at raising the buildings an additional 2 or 3 feet to use that as recreational activities like shuffleboard. or ping pong tables . Ms . Westner questioned if it has been determined that the library will be on the park property' Mr . Burton replied affirmatively, adding that the sub-committee decided this . He stated that his recommendation is that the library go 4; there and he has a firm committment from the library department that it will be there. He stated that they will Page 3 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19, 1985 • begin construction within a year, adding that the library department will probably start construction on the library before anything is clone on the park.. He stated that the funds for the library will not be coming out of the park money, adding that this park will gain an estimate of $50-100, 000 which will help pay for the parking, adding that the library will share the the cost of the sewer and impact fees . Mr . Everett Ray, resident of Marco Island, stated that it is only fair to present to the advisory board the feelings as to why the park was designed this way. He stated that they tried to incorporate a facility that is both recreational and cultural and several months of effort have been taken to define the needs of the community, adding that the overall feeling in the plan was to try and get as much out of the space that is possible . Mr . Burton stated that the sub-committee tried not to get involved with the library being on the site or not on the site , adding after several months of discussion, it was thought that the Library would best serve the community if it was part of the park. Mr . Savage stated that almost every civic area that you go to, where there is a civic center, has a library. He stated that the library will be used by the old and the young people. He stated that he thinks the library is a great plus, adding that he was originally opposed to it . Ms . Westner stated that the play areas must stay and they cannot be foresaken to enlarge the civic center and other buildings . Mr . Burton stated that the estimated size of the library will be 8,000 square feet, which. is the maximum at build-out of Marco Island, adding that the library is not expected to be enlarged. He stated that if the civic center is enlarged, it would take up the basketball and volleyball courts which would be relocated on the site . Mr . Evans , resident of Marco Island, stated that at the build-out of Marco Island, an 8,000 square foot library would 44001" not be big enough. Mr . Peek stated. that he met with Mr. Demerest, the Page 4 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19, 1985 County Librarian, and 8, 000 square feet is the number that was given to him. Mr. Burton moved, seconded by Mr. Myers and carried unanimously, that the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board accept and recommend the Master Plan, as presented and approved by the sub-committee of Marco Island, to the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Monaco stated that the sub-committee on Marco Island, headed by Mr . Burton, has done a wonderful job. He stated that for quite a while there was a standstill on Marco Island and since Mr . Burton has taken over, things have been accomplished. Mr . Burton stated that he would like a recommendation of approval requesting that Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek , Inc. have their contract extended or added to, or a new one issued, to have them continue with the responsibility of design and construction of the library that is be placed in the park so that there will be continuity of the designs of all the buildings and better control of the monies that will be received from the library to the parks . Mr . Monaco stated that it seems that the recommendation is that Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soil & Peek, Inc. continue as the engineers on the project to design the library area and further a recommendation that the library funds be controlled. by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Price stated that if the same firm designs the project throughout, the same control would be thoughout . Mr. Monaco stated that the discussion revolves around having Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soil & Peek, Inc. continue their work and, for certain reasons , it would be beneficial . Mr. Burton moved, seconded by Mr. Price and carried unanimously, that Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. be retained as the design team for the library complex to be incorporated into the park and that this be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Burton stated that he also has another recom- mendation that was supported by the sub-committee which 4:; involves a tax referendum which has been proposed on Marco Island for a special taxing district to raise money to Page 5 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19, 1985 complete the park. He stated that the sub--committee adopted a motion to support the tax referendum in order to complete the park, as shown on the Master Plan, excluding the future pool. He stated that he is looking for the Parks & Recrea- tion Advisory Board ' s approval and then the County Commis- sioners approval . Mr . Frank Langford stated that the original referendum that was proposed by Marco Island residents was for a quarter mill which would raise enough money to complete the park. He stated that it was not clear at that time which items would be included in the parks . He stated that after the referendum was approved by the County Commissioners it was noted that there would have to be fees for Mr. Peek and his design team and then for various equipment in the park that would be needed, adding that the millage rate then was increased to 1/3 of a mill. He stated that a lot of people have serious reservations about the increase from 1/4 mill to 1/3 mill . He stated that a 1/4 mill could be met by cutting some items in the park. He read into the minutes a proposal supporting the 1/4 mill tax and what reductions could be made (17; to keep the millage rate at 1/4, said proposal attached and made a part of these minutes . Mr . Monaco stated that the Parks & .Recreation Advisory Board will not recommend a millage rate . Mr . Burton stated that the sub-committee recommends a referendum to complete the park, excluding the pool, but they are not recommending any millage rate. Pe stated that he is simply asking for the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board' s approval for a tax referendum for Marco Island to complete the park as planned. There was general discussion regarding the cost of the plan and including it in the referendum. Mr. Burton stated that the total estimated cost of the plan, less the pool, is $3, 224, 000, adding that the way to pay for it is by a referendum. He stated that at the present time, there is approximately $927,000 to be spent on the parks and, without a tax referendum; there will be very little in the park. rnire Mr. Everett Ray stated that with the proposal of cuts there is not fair distribution of dollars eliminated, adding Page 6 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19, 1985 • that there are interested groups in the community, and a more fair distribution could be made regarding these matters . He stated that he would recommend a blanket cut overall for the Cre complex, distributed evenly among all of the facilities . Mr . Myers stated that a committee could be made up of people like Mr. Langford to make recommendations to their own advisory council and try to get a net result of improvements and how they will be funded and then approach the County Commissioners with their thoughts . Mr. Langford stated that there are a lot of cuts that could be made, like the price of trash cans or benches , adding that there could be less expensive ones purchased . Mr. Peek indicated that these prices were researched con- siderably and he would not recommend using a less expensive trash can or bench, adding that the amount of them could be reduced, but not the quality. Mr . Langford stated that the recreational facility of 5,000 square feet with air conditioning could be cut down, adding that he is against the 1/3 mill for this referendum, but not against the referendum itself . Mrs . Westner stated that she does not see any cuts for the civic center and all the cuts are in the recreational areas . Mr . Burton stated that the sub-committee came up with a Master Plan and the acceptance of that plan is based on the fact that it be built in its entirety if a tax referendum is passed. He stated that he would have to retract his motion and make another motion that this plan not be accepted . He stated that sub-committee will not delete items from that plan. Mr . Monaco stated that it is his understanding that no one is talking about cuts , adding that he understands that the recommendation is that the Master Plan be built by virtue of a tax referendum vote as presented and in its entirety. He stated that the question of the millage will have to be determined by the Commission. Mr . Myers stated that the Master Plan has been accepted 4.7.; and the method of payment should be presented to the County Commissioners , adding that there seems to be two conflicting Page 7 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 19 , 1985 . issues being discussed . Mr . Burton stated that there is another advisory board meeting on the 28th of this month, adding that he hopes to be 0 able to present the millage rates and the cost amount, but in order to save time he was asking for approval of the Master Plan and not the millage rate. Mr. Burton stated that he wants to avoid cuts or things being eliminated, adding that the sub-committee would not recommend the plan as presented if things are going to be cut and, therefore, he would like to put the approval of the Master Plan off . He stated that he would like to make a motion to disapprove the Master Plan. Mr. Monaco stated that the Master Plan has been approved, and Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. has been approved to design the library, and it seems that the consensus is that a referendum is the way to have it done. He stated that the disagreement is what should be built at certain times and what should be cut, if anything, adding that this should be discussed further with Mr. Evans and Mr . Langford the millage and amounts of money. 4; Mr. Burton stated that at the 28th meeting, the sub-committee could present how the proposed millage rate and the proposed referendum should be written. Mr. Burton moved, seconded by Mr. Myers and carried unanimously, that the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board recommend approval of a special taxing district referendum for Marco Island to build the park in its entirety as shown on the Master Plan, excluding the pool. *** There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned by Order of the Chair - Time: 3: 55 P.M.

The bond issue has to be based on the -- present tax base . However our income would be based on the average - base over ten years .
