MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 20, 1986, - APPROVED AS PRESENTED Mr. McQuillen moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried unanimously, that the minutes of February 20, 1986, be approved as presented. REVIEW OF A REZONE PETITION FOR FOXBURN PUD FOR COMPLIANCE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Barbara Cacchione stated that this particular property Page 1 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 is located on the south side of Radio Road just east of Foxfire ; is comprised of 20.88 acres, and the Petitioner is requesting a rezone from A2 to PUD. She added that under the point system, the density range achieved by this project is 5 units per acre. She reported that the Petitioner requested to use the neighborhood park option which awards ten additional points and increases the denstiy to seven units per acre. She noted that in reviewing the Comprehensive Plan regarding this option, there are requirements as to how someone would comply with the ordinance, and the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board is the board for implementing this particular option. Ms . Cacchione commented that there are two processes in dedicating Naples parks; one is actual dedication, and another is payment in-lieu-of land dedication. She added that actually this is the first time that a payment has been used in-lieu-of land dedication. She noted that in this case, because it is less than five acres, they are required to pay a fee in lieu of. She also added that the process used by the Planning Department is outlined in the Comprenehsive Plan and is also included in the memo to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board. She commented that the Parks' requirement is directly based on the population map that a particular project will generate; they took the population, estimated the amount of acres - the standard is 2 acres of park site per one thousand people - and came up with approximately 3/4 of an acre as a required dedication. She also stated that there is a provision for credit for private facilities on-site to meet the needs of the residents... She stated that on this particular project there are several recreational amenities, which are outlined on the second page of the above-mentioned memo, and that calculated to be 9 facilities; therefore, they received 50% credit on their required dedication of 3/4 of an acre and that was reduced to . 36. She added that the cost of acreage in the area was done by the Real Estate section of the Public Works Department who did a market analysis of the area and came up with $17, 160 cost per acre in that area, and therefore, the , required dedication would be 1/3 of an acre by $17, 160 which Page 2 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 would amount to $ 6, 177. 60. Ms. Cacchione further stated that the money will be paid to the Board of County Commissioners before the first building permit is issued and language will be placed in the PUD document so it will be binding upon the Petitioner. She said that the facilities that are to be provided and maintained by the developer will also appear in the PUD document. She added that the language has ZC.=t been completely developed but it will be reviewed by the County Attorney before it is decided by the Board of County Commissioners. She said that this Petition is scheduled for the Planning Commission today; they continued it from the last meeting in order to get input from the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board and to make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. Acting Chairman Price asked what would happen with the funds and Mr . Vanatta said that the way it now stands there are two stipulations: The Comprehensive Plan indicates that monies are to be used for a neighborhood park, and the County does not per se have a neighborhood park in that immediate vicinity, other than Palm Springs Park which is pretty secluded and not heavily used; secondly, after looking at the area, the new community park that would best service that area would be Golden Gate Community Park . Mr . Vanatta added that $ 6100 is not ample money to acquire and develop a neighborhood park , which in the Comp Plan should be greater than five acres, so Parks & Recreation would like the latitude to use that money on a park in the near vicinity of Foxburn. However, he did note that the Comp Plan also stated that the money paid by the developer must be used for the immediate needs of the residents of that development or for improvements of other existing parks which have already served those needs. Mr . Price asked if the funds were going to be used for capital improvements , and Mr . Vanatta answered affirmatively and added that if after seven years the money was not used on one of these areas, then it does convert back to the operating budget, which is how the Comprehensive Plan , currently reads. He further stated the long-range intent of Page 3 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 the current Comprehensive Plan was to pool the money from small projects and have enough to build a neighborhood park . Mr . McQuillen asked what the history has been regarding small fees, and Mr. Vanatta said as far as he knows this is the first one in-lieu-of, normally it has been land dedication, and added that the new Comprehensive Plan will be much more in depth He pointed out that Foxburn, in accordance with the current Comprehensive Plan, has complied with the rules. Mr. Price suggested that since there will probably be more of these small fees in the future that they be accumulated, or specific needs identified relative to that area where capital improvements are made, so that it would benefit the people that are going to be paying. After a lengthy discussion regarding in-lieu-of versus land dedication and future procedures, Mr . Price asked if the issue about the future procedure is really a separate issue from approving the matter before the Advisory Board at this time, and Ms. Cacchione answered affirmatively. He then said that the Petitioner has complied with the current regulations, and a separate recommendation regarding the future process can be done later. Ms. Cacchione commented that since this is the first time this option has been exercised, it is beneficial to get all this information and input because there may be a need to work on this part of the ordinance in the new Comprehensive Plan and setting levels of service for parks in the County , which is a requirement of the new legislation. She added that they will be appearing before the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on an on-going basis for input. Mr. McQuillen moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens, and carried unanimously, that the petition be approved noting the disposition of funds as outlined on the second page of the memorandum to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board dated March 10, 1986, which reads: "The monies collected shall be held in a trust and must be tightly earmarked. The money paid by the developer must be used for the immediate needs of the residents of that development or far improvement of other existing parks which , already serve those needs. If the money is not spent within Page 4 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 seven years it will be forwarded to the Department of Parks and Recreaion general operating budget. The money will be collected by the Board of County Commissioners." Naming of Golden Gate Community Park Mr . Vanatta stated that he reviewed the correspondence and chronology of events concerning this issue and contacted Mr. John J. Agnelli, President of Power Corporation, who is present and will present the issue. Mr . Agnelli stated that Power Corporation is a large, locally based development company in Naples and outlined the various projects that they are involved with, which includes Berkshire Lakes abutting the park on two sides. He commented that in 1983 the company negotiated for the sale of the park site to the County agreeing to a price and terms and at the County Commission meeting where they would approve this, Power Corporation voluntarily donated $50,000 for improvements of that facility. He added that in the contract for the sale of this land to the County, Power Corporation asked for and received language regarding naming the park ® site. He continued by narrating the chronology of events that followed leading up to his appearance at this meeting and presented correspondence as backup. He summarized by saying that, as originally suggested, Santa Barbara Park is a nice name , very explicit and asked the Advisory Board that they recommend to the Board of Commissioners that they reconsider the naming of the park to something that is more geographically descriptive, because Golden Gate Community Park is not in Golden Gate, it is in the community of Berkshire Lakes, and therefore, is not geographically descriptive. He said he doesn' t mind if at the bottom the sign read "Golden Gate Community," but he wants the opportunity to have input into naming the park . He concluded by saying that he thinks the issue is not resolved. Mr. Stevens said that he understood that the naming of the parks had already been decided, and Mr . Vanatta stated that officialy on February 5 , 1985, the parks were named , so the whole process has to be gone through again to rename the 1 Air park, and he felt that Mr. Agnelli should be given the opportunity to address the issue. Page 5 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 There was a discussion concerning the community having a right to naming the park since the park will serve the community and Mr . Agnelli ' s position. Mr . Price said that the issue has to be readdressed since the contract does say that the seller shall be notified in writing Mr. Stevens stated and wanted the record to so state that he felt the issue had been brought up and discussed before the Board of County Commissioners and carried 4/0 , that the five community parks were named after the geographic areas and should remain with the same names , because the prestige and pride of the people of Golden Gate should be considered before making any motion as to renaming any park , and the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board should have some input other than from a corporation . Mr . Price suggested that the Advisory Board recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that this committee at its next meeting have a hearing open to the public, giving Mr . Agnelli notice in writing , before recommending a name to the County Commissioners. Mr . Vanatta, in answer to Mr . McQuillen' s question, Qstated that he would recommend that this board ask the County Commissioners to reopen the issue of naming all the parks. Mr. McQuillen moved, seconded by Mr. Price, and carried 2/1 (Mr. Stevens opposed) that a recommendation be made to the Board of County Commissioners to reconsider reopening the issue in the naming of the community parks and also that they allow Mr. Agnelli an opportunity to speak to them concerning his thoughts on the park now known as Golden Gate Community. Mr . Vanatta asked if the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board wants him to go back to the Board of County Commissioners and make a recommendation to reopen the issue to redress the naming of the five community parks and are offering themselves as an advisory board to rehear this issue and send recommendations to them, and Mr. McQuillen affirmed that. ' General Discussion Page 6 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MARCH 20 , 1986 Mr . Murdo Smith asked for approval to go ahead with the low bidder, if he meets the specifications, in the purchase of two utility trailers. They have tried several times to in meet with Mr . Johnson of Johnson Trailer Sales , but have not been successful ; however, they will keep trying. Mr. Stevens moved seconded by Mr. McQuillen, and carried unanimously, to recommend approval of the acquisition of two trailers if the low bidder meets the specifications There being no further business to come before the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, the meeting was adjourned by Order of the Chair - Time : 10: 45 M. PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD Steve Price, Acting Chairman Page 7 DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS Item IV.A. Discussion on naming the five (5) Community Parks At the March PARAB meeting it was voted on to request authorization from the Board of County Commissioners to conduct a public meeting to consider the possibility of renaming the five (5) community parks. At the Board of County Commissioners meeting of April 8, 1986, the BOARD GRANTED THE PARAB authorization to hold this meeting.
