WORKSHOP FORM OF MEETING A. Commercial Boating-presentation by Murdo Smith,Beach and Water Superintendent 1 1 I 0 I John Grice presented a list of items that should be considered during this Idiscussion: • Who would be using the ramps? I • Weight and size limits of the boats,trailers, etc. • Who would control the commercial use? • Ordinance may need to be changed. I • How would the distinction be made between a commercial launch and the same fellow doing a"private" launch? • Would different prices be charged? • How would the use be controlled? • Should only commercial activity be charged? • If the ordinance were changed, would the fee structure and guidelines be Iwritten in a way that a yearly amendment would be necessary? The Department conducted a survey of marinas to determine if other"outside" Icommercial users were allowed to use the marina's launch/ramp facilities. Ten of the twelve companies responded with a negative, one was questionable, and one I said yes. Moran's Restaurant Marina on Highway 92 Marco charges a$5.00 launch fee but the parking is very limited. The parking lot is for restaurant use and boaters must park under the bridge or on the side of the road. IRandy Ward, President of the Marine Industries Association of Collier County, Inc., contacted a cross section of 10 businesses of the Association using County I launch facilities. (4 Naples boat dealers, 2 Naples area service shops, 2 Marco boat dealers and 2 Marco area service shops). The ten businesses averaged 44 launches per week in the north end of the County and 64 between the SR 951 and ICaxambas boat ramps. The Parks and Recreation Department prepared several options for PARAB's I consideration. The cost of staffmg the program for implementation and compliance would be approximately$39,780. A master meter at a cost of approximately$17,000 for purchase and installation would be installed at the SR 951 ramp for collection of the $3 I launch fee. Caxambas has a$3 launch fee in place; Bayview and Cocohatchee's $3 parking fee would be changed to a launch fee. I OPTION 1. No annual sticker available. All commercial users pay a launch fee of$3 per launch. I Revenue estimate: A. 300 businesses/2 launches per week= $93,000 year B. 200 businesses/2 launches per week= $62,000 year C. 100 businesses/2 launches per week= $31,000 year OPTION 2. An annual sticker costing $500 would be available for purchase at a single location-probably one of the community centers. If the commercial user chose not to Ipurchase a sticker, a$3 fee per launch would be charged. I 2 NNW C I The Department estimates that if 50 companies purchased the sticker, $25,000 in revenue Iwould be generated. This figure does not include any revenue realized from the user paying the $3 launch fee. IOPTION 3. Institute a commercial permit of$100. This permit would allow the commercial businesses to launch for a$3 fee per launch. The estimated revenue from I this option would be $5,000 above the cost of Option 1, estimating that 50 businesses would purchase this sticker. IDiscussion: There is a list of people holding occupational licenses from whom revenue is not being Ireceived. Stickers for commercial use would be purchased at one location. By using one agency, Iprocedures would be more consistent. If electricity were needed at 951 for the meter, it might be necessary to jack and bore II under the road;however, battery meters are available. An ordinance change may be necessary to grant authority to the Rangers for ticketing. I They can currently issue a Notice to Appear, which means go to court. If a ticket were issued,that would be the end of it. I At Bayview where people park on the road,how would it be known whether or not a boat was actually launched? A permit could be obtained to widen the road by paving the 10' road easement. Trailers now park on top of the bike path so it cannot be seen. The 1 launch fee would affect everyone. Once some usage figures are obtained at 951,the possibility of getting more parking Ispaces exists. Extra staff positions would not be added to the budget -dollars can be added to the Iexisting budget for enforcement purposes. Job bank employees may be used and the part time Rangers can work more hours. IWith a commercial permit in place,the commercial users would police themselves to a certain extent. Collier County businesses would be allowed to purchase the permits but perhaps not commercial users from other counties. However, if Boater Funds were used Ito construct the facility, it might not be possible to curtail out-of-county users. I Lake Trafford would not be included in the scenario at this time, partly due to the condition of the lake and the lack of commercial users. I 3 IA411.4. Own Revenue goes into the operating budget. The boat ramp facilities are under a regular, rotating maintenance schedule at this time - new grooves are to be installed at the ramps, Iseawall repairs have been made, parking lots re-paved, etc. ® The Ordinance says that unless approved by BCC no commercial use is permitted. Would proof of insurance be necessary? Insurance certificates could be shown by the user when applying for a permit. (Came to the conclusion this would not be a 1, consideration.) I Would the sticker be portable? Where would it be placed? The sticker would need to be placed on the tow vehicle - location to be determined. Each vehicle would need to purchase a permit sticker to do business at public ramps. IIf$500 were charged for each trailer, users may feel it would be cheaper to pay the fine. ILindy liked Option 2. Ski and John Grice liked Option 3. Option 2 is a launch fee, but would not address a fishing guide operating from the park site. Nothing can be done if the transaction does not actually take place m the park. MOTION BY SKI OLESKY: ACCEPT OPTION 3 AT THIS TIME. Seconded by IMary Ellen Rand. Passed 5-0. This information will be taken to the commercial users and the County Attorney before Ibeing implemented. IB. MANATEE PARK - presentation by Joe Delate, Project Manager II The area of Manatee Park was once an old farm field. The vegetation is now I growing back, including some nice trees. The location is being considered for the South Dog Park to serve Marco Island, East, and South Naples. IPhase I would allow the model airplane club to continue using the area and also have space for the dog park. The area for the dogs would be approximately 5 acres with a parking area, and if the lake were re-contoured, Ithere is a possibility that the dogs would have a water park. Phase II would include some bike trails, maybe disk golf, some additional I fields could be added, and possibly an access from US 41. The airplane club would be phased out. IThe dog park could become more of an athletic dog park, and also have picnic areas, 3 soccer fields, softball complex, and concession area. I 1 4 IIIMEMMIN I I I There is some concern about the access to this property-the street is a public right-of-way, but privately maintained. Residents do not wish to open it up for a cut through to US 41. The School system is receptive to the plan;the IDepartment has a separate agreement with each school facility. Phase I -next year would provide a dog park with an expanded lake area and Ithe Air Club would continue using the facility. Rover Run at Veterans Community Park has passed the test and shows that I another dog park is warranted. The idea is to keep these parks a novelty and not have one located in every community park. In this way users would assume more ownership. .11 ,,I There is open green space there now that could be used for fields at a later 1 ill date and the lake could have a pathway around it with a picnic pavilion. Alligators may be present in the lake, which would be a consideration when the dogs were in the water. MOTION by Ski Olesky to accept Concept IB,Manatee Dog Park Recreation Park. Seconded by Lindy D'Amico. (Mary Ellen Rand had left the meeting). Concept 1B was a conceptual drawing of the site. in C. FUTURE SCHOOL SITES AND PARK PLANS IPresentation by James Fitzek: The Little League organizations are requesting more Little League ballfields. I The North Naples Little League is growing rapidly due to the population growth in that end of Naples. The national organization requires that a league split when it reaches a certain size. IThe Department is seeking ways at school sites to design a field for Little League use but one that could also be used for something else. The Parks and I Recreation Department uses softball fields with a portable fence to make the fields 200' shorter. Little League prefers a grass infield but the clay infield is I easier to maintain and it is easier to move the bases. Three school sites have possibilities of additional fields: I1. Pelican March Elementary School is located off Airport Road and has an existing field adjacent to a fairly close parking area. The concern is that just 1 field could be added and there has already been conflict with the Iresidents of Crescent Lakes whose houses back up right to the school. I 5 0 ' I C C 2. Laurel Oaks Elementary School is located next to Gulf Coast High School I off Immokalee Road. The parking area there is a little distance from the ball field. There are houses adjacent to the southern part of the field. One field could be built, permanent fencing would take away from the school field. I 3. Pine Ridge Middle School has two softball fields there as well as a soccer Ifield, and a full football field. It would be possible to give Little League the type of complex they wish by adding two fields, possibly some I parking and a concession facility. This area is already heavily used and located in back of the church on Pine Ridge Road. The construction cost would be a million five. It is better to build two fields at one school as Little League wants their own facility. ISCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PLANS - by Marla Ramsey The Department is now working with the School Department prior to the ® construction of a school facility regarding the purchase of adjacent land and sharing facilities. The current plans are to build a school a year. 1. Barron Collier site -north of Pine Ridge Road, east of Airport-Pulling W Road and west of the extension of Livingston Road. Plans are for an elementary school, administrative center, and a print shop. There are 42 I acres of land there and it could accommodate two Little League fields, 1 soccer field, and it contains a large pond area for passive activity. The property backs up to the High School and has more than one access road. IThere would also be ample parking at this location. The City is requesting more facilities in the Seagate area. We could use I the middle school but would have to strip down the area- cost 2.5 million for two fields. 2. Year 2003/2004 - Stallings Site on Santa Barbara Boulevard, south of Golden Gate Community Park. There are 7 acres available which could be enhanced. The Boys and Girls Club have indicated they may wish to ' do something with us at this site. There has been no commitment to the property yet. I3. Year 2004/2005 - 18th Avenue N.E., between Everglades and DeSoto, along the canal. There are 31 acres available but another 20 acres are I needed at that site for a community park. A community park is normally approximately 35 acres but there are some wellfields located out there that restrict the use of some of the land. 1 I 6 0 I4. Year 2006/2007- 60th Avenue off Everglades Boulevard would be another community park area. Another 20-25 acres of land would be needed at Ithat location. 5. Bridge over the overpass- not sure the Department is interested in having Ia ball field at this location; there is a green passive area, it is the south side of the canal and I-75 with access off SR 951. ITwo other locations have some possibilities- High School and Elementary School-north of Brantley Boulevard, south of I White Boulevard, and east of County Road 951. School owns 60 acres and there may be more available. Middle School and Elementary School- difficult to get to - no access yet. Wetlands- DEP - brought us into it -it will be developed with houses - all impact will be in one area. Year 2011 -Two schools are planned north of Imperial. There are wet lands in this location and currently no access - it will be off Wiggins Pass Road Extension. The entrance road could be shared and the Parks Department needs to be in that area. The County is meeting with the schools during the planning stage of their new facilities and before construction takes place. In some areas the School Department has already secured land but not in all instances. A program may be worked out where the School Department would purchase property and hold it for our use until we are ready to use it. I P Meeting Schedule-the next PARAB meeting is December 20th at Golden Gate 1 Community Center. Lindy suggested changing the meeting days to the third Wednesday at 2:00 pm. BJ is to contact Mary Ellen, John Ribes and Lisa for their opinion. Ski and John Grice had no Iobjection. On 11114t the Board of County Commissioners approved 4-0 Paul Harvey and the 1 Department of Parks and Recreation submitting a joint permit application to the State for Harvey to build a facility on the privately owned piece of property located in the middle of Barefoot Preserve. This application must be in Tallahassee by Wednesday, INovember 22 and the Council will render a decision on the December 18th.

Harshman 8231 Bay Colony Drive#803 Naples, Florida 34108 December 6, 2000 Ms. Marla Ramsey, Director Collier County Parks Department 3300 Santa Barbara Boulevard Naples, Florida 34116 Dear Ms. Ramsey: Mr. Delate has probably advised you of my telephone conversation with him yesterday during which I explained that we had to conclude that our effort to raise the additional funds required to complete our joint project in Pelican Bay Community Park during the next year would not be successful. Our conclusion was based on the extremely disappointing response to the test pledge mailing described in my letter of November 10. We continue to believe that the project could be a very attractive addition to Collier County and intend to keep the Naples Croquet &Lawn Bowls Foundation alive for at least two years while we try to address the financial shortfall. If we succeed, we hope you will be able to consider reopening the project at that time. The Everetts and I are very grateful to you, Mr. Delate, and to all who have participated in this project and are very distressed that we have used your and their time in an unproductive effort. Please accept our sincere apologies. We thank you all for your efforts and hope, in time, that they will prove not to have been wasted. Sincerely, Richard R. Harshman c.c.
