Next item is --Mr. Milk, it's your turn now
PUD-96-3.
MR. MILK: Good afternoon. For the record my name is
Bryan Milk, and I am presenting Petition PUD-96-3. This is the
third
public hearing for this agenda item.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Yeah, Mr. Milk, and
something I wanted to chat with you about.
that's --that's
This is the third
public
hearing. We've heard the presentation. Is there anything new that
we
have not heard before?
MR. MILK: No, sir. I just wanted to bring to your
attention and make sure that you received a revised PUD document
with
the strikeout and underline version, which would show the two new
exhibits of the architectural rendering of the wall at the northern
property boundary and the rendering of the Racetrac gasoline
station
and other concerns expressed during the two previous hearings that
were also outlined in here as underlines. And that's basically the
comment; I wanted to make sure that everybody had that document so
that we were all at the same level of conversation with the
petitioners.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Are you referring to this handout?
MR. MILK: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I got it.
MR. MILK: If I can answer any questions, I'd be happy
to do so.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: No board member has any specific
questions at this time. Let's go to the public speakers.
MR. DORRILL: Duval Evans. Mr. Evans.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: For the public speakers --for the
benefit of those public speakers who may not have been here before,
we
allow five minutes for you to give your presentation and ask that
you
please be concise. You don't necessarily have to use all five
minutes
if you don't want to.
MR. EVANS: Thank you. My name is Duval Evans, and I'm
representing the Pine Ridge Chevron on Whippoorwill and Pine Ridge
Road. As I've stated before in letters and also before the
commission
that I don't feel like the market will stand another gasoline and
convenience store. As you know, when Vanderbilt Beach Road goes
through, that's going to take a awful lot of local traffic off the
Pine Ridge Road, and I just really can't see where --that the
market
And
way,
the
will bear any more convenience stores or gas stations out there.
I feel like that there's a lot of people here that feel the same
and I thank you for your time.
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Bonness. Mr. Riley, you'll follow
Mr. Bonness.
MR. BONNESS: Joe Bonness. I don't believe anybody can
logically say that 24-hour commercial won't have a major impact on
value of the home sites on Livingston Wood --in Livingston Wood
Estates;
that's a given. The fact is that only three houses have been built
across from that activity center in fear of what might develop.
To quantitate the loss, look at Mrs. Brown's petition
that was just before you last week. Mrs. Brown was asking for
impact
fees to be dropped as low-income housing. She's in this
neighborhood
at this point. Her lot was purchased for just a mere $18,000. Her
lot is a --just about square. It's 230 feet by 189 feet, just
under
an acre. That's a pretty good-sized lot to be able to build on.
She's selling --or she got her lot for less than half the value of
what is generally going out for the per-acre cost of lots in the
area. What sets her aside from everybody else? It's against I-75.
That's a 24-hour traffic operation. That's the same impact that is
proposed in this PUD. This PUD may have the impact on the
adjoining
properties of lessening their value by close to one half. That
might
be close to a million dollars in property loss --value loss.
The petitioner will point out this is an activity center
he has a right to develop and threaten lawsuits if --if he's
denied.

At stake for the neighborhood, maybe a million, two million dollars

contract or more; and if denied, he could still go out and build
--at some other use. He'd still recuperate his value. But
there's
also a third party to the --this; that's the rest of Collier
County.

mile radius, there's 6 gas stations 20 more --and more 24-hour

Number two, consider the existing pattern of land use.
Pine Ridge Road has developed as a traffic corridor. It's major

Number three, what's the market demand? The market for
this convenience store --for convenience and gas has not only been
met, but it's also flooded.
Adequacy of infrastructure. Whippoorwill Lane is the
only alternate access to Livingston Wood Estates at this time. If
commercial is put here, the access will be down to one access for
home sites and a school with no alternative until Livingston Road
developed; and when is that going to be developed? Who knows.
Compatibility and buffering. This use is definitely not
compatible. There are only a handful of places in this county
where
low-density residential and adjoining commercial is up against each
other, and only two of those are --are 24 hour. The one that is

because you and I met this morning and talked about that

sort
and
MR. BONNESS: The other one would be the --the Mr. G's
that's out in Golden Gate Estates, and of course, that is there
because of the need for commercial out in the middle of Golden Gate
Estates.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I'm not familiar with that one.
MR. BONNESS: Yeah. It's that small convenience
store-gas station, and the need was definitely necessary for some
of commercial in the area.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: That's on Golden Gate Boulevard.
MR. BONNESS: Okay. Well, I thank you for your time on
this. Take a --a close look at it. This is an evacuation route,
it definitely needs consideration.
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Riley. Then Ms. Madigan, you'll
follow this gentleman.
MR. RILEY: Hi, Commissioners. For the record, again,
Bob Riley. I'm a resident of Livingston Woods. I live on
Bottlebrush
Lane, two streets in back of the proposed activity center. The
only
had
thing I wanted to come back and mention was the security issue and
living conditions that both Commissioner Constantine and Mr. Milk
alluded to, that living conditions will not be better, in my
opinion,
the
with a activity center with this much activity and people being on
premises. We see a lot of squad cars in our neighborhood right now
with people trying to break into automobiles on 75 then run to our
neighborhood. I can't get information about propose --on our
streets
specifically, but we still and all --still see these squad cars.
So
in making the best decision and the right decision, that's what
we're
of
in
here appealing to you today to do, and we thank you.
MR. DORRILL: Ms. Madigan. And then Mr. and Ms. Yoke.
MS. MADIGAN: I have some handouts. Can you --
MR. DORRILL: Sure. I'll do them.
MS. MADIGAN: May I put these up? I'm a little
vertically challenged here.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: That's a part of the county
manager's contract; he's got to be at least 6'3".
MS. MADIGAN: I can't apply then, can I? I'm going to
put this down.
Well, we meet again for the third time, and I think a
lot of information has been passed and presented to the group, all
us. And I must say I think it's been a very positive experience,
because I, for one, find when the developer is so willing to give
to the need or to your requests that you ask --to architectural
standards without such a zoning, shall I say, or requirement, I
find
that very encouraging. And --take a deep breath, Ellie. After
the
last meeting, September or --that was September 10th, I left here
a
little perplexed in that I heard some of the commissioners comment
that they were still concerned about --not concerned, but they
still
had questions in their minds about the compatibility of having a
24-hour gas station adjacent to a low-density resident (sic) and
also
the idea of how are we going to stop the prolification (sic) of
gasoline, or shall I say fueling stations, along this corridor.
The day after the last meeting, I heard Mr. Hancock on,
I think, it was WINK-TV --made a comment that said the board --
and I
hope I'm I'm going to quote you, Mr. Hancock --the board needs
to
entertain the concept of limiting the number of fueling stations in
an
area so not as (sic) to create a gasoline alley.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: That's correct.
MS. MADIGAN: Is that correct? Thank you. So I said to
myself, well, how many gas stations are we looking at here? So I
went
and
down to the planning development department at Horseshoe --on
Horseshoe Drive, and I spoke with the planner on duty for the day,
I have presented you with some of the information that I collected
that day down there. The green --just to explain my --my map and
charts, the green represents five PUDs on record, approved,
undeveloped, all allowing at least one more gas station. The blue
represents the existing gas stations. And I placed the red in
there;
to
you
We
in
that was a request for a gas station a couple years ago that was
turned down for various reasons by the board. And I colored yellow
be the --the present site.
Now, we have three. I'm looking at five PUDs who have
undeveloped property that each can have a fueling station. I ask
--that's a possible eight. Why do we need to change the rules?
have a plan. We're changing the rules to add --I shouldn't say
change the rules. We're change --there's a request to change the
zoning to add another gas station. I think the need is certainly
satisfied. I think an activity center is to --is to serve the
traveling public, one of its uses. When you're traveling down the
road and you want to stop, what do --what do you think of? Gas
station, food, sleep.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Bathrooms.
MS. MADIGAN:

Well, that's in the convenience part of
MS. MADIGAN: And my husband and I have a joke about
it. I --he said information. I said, "That's only if a woman is

when I look at this --I'm done. Thank you very much.
MR. DORRILL: Mr. and Ms. Yoke.
MS. YOKE: That would be just me.
MR. DORRILL: Okay. And then Ms. Rudnicki.

For the record, Kena Yoke. I'm a resident of
I have to laugh. My son has been to more of
meetings than probably
that's
half the people in Collier County, but

get
to
by
sort
how it is. The public meetings are held during the day when it's
difficult for a majority of the public to get here. It's hard to
baby-sitters and day care during the day if you keep your child at
home, and that's what I do in the neighborhood behind where they're
proposing the gas station.
The map clearly shows that there's plenty of gas
stations going to be available, already approved, for anybody who
wants to put a gas station on there. We're concerned about crime,
transients, public welfare, inundation of gas stations. We'd like
see a more mixed use in the area. It's surrounded on three sides
estates zoning and itself is estates zoning. Across the street is
heavy commercial. We're asking for your consideration of more of a
transition area than one estate-zoned lot. We need to have some
of low-commercial zoning that would work across Pine Ridge and
maybe
to C-5 on the other side.
There are gas stations on the other side. There's gas
stations on the corner. There's gas stations if they turn around.
Something more along the lines of a nine to five or nine to nine,
something that wouldn't allow people to hang around, enter the
neighborhood, walk around at all hours of the night. It's bad

good about addressing some of those concerns, and we're glad that a
lot is not the kids in our neighborhood. But we have to be very
concerned about the type of transients that will come and get right
off of 75 and have access to 24-hour refreshments and a nice place
enjoy a few beers sitting in our neighborhood.
So, you know, if you could consider something that
wouldn't be 24 hours, convenience, something --banks. We're not
denying them the commercial use of their property at all. We're
asking for your consideration in making sure that it is compatible

MR. DORRILL: Ms. Rudnicki then Mr. Madigan.
MS. RUDNICKI: Mr. Chairman, fellow commissioners --
fellow commissioners --Commissioners. One of the items that was
brought up in the July 16th meeting was whether the proposed change
would adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood,
and
Joe Bonness addressed that talking about values of property. I
would
like to address that this morning with a little bit different
flavor.
I would like to present you with crime statistics from January of
1995
through August 31st of 1995 as compared to crime statistics from
January 1996 through August 31st of 1996. I chose those dates so
that
we would compare apples to apples.

You can see from 1995 to 1996, theft, all types of
theft, up 100 percent; battery, up 200 percent; burglary, up 167
percent; criminal mischief, up 300 percent; traffic accidents did
change; and carrying a concealed weapon actually went down 300
percent. For those statistics that I'm showing you, the increase
crimes during those two time frames is 57 percent. The "all" in
parentheses is all crimes, including the ones I did not report
because
the incident was one, up 41 percent. Under noncrimes, the ones

worry me the most for my neighborhood are suspicious incident, up
percent; suspicious vehicle, up 67 percent; and suspicious person,
83 percent.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Do you know what that --what
that is? I mean, what's a suspicious person?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Someone running around casing
the place.
MS. RUDNICKI: It's someone who called the police
because there is a person that they are worried about.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I see.
MS. RUDNICKI: That's what a suspicious person is,
behaving suspiciously, warranting enough of a worry for
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Somebody called the sheriff and
said, "I'm worried about this vehicle; check it out."
MS. RUDNICKI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Okay.
MS. RUDNICKI: And that's why it's an incident and not a
crime.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Gotcha.
MS. RUDNICKI: The noncrime thefts went down by 57
percent, but overall, all of the noncrime statistics --noncrime
incidents, were up 16 percent. Now, the major change to this
neighborhood across those 2 miles was the addition of two gas
stations. I'm sorry. The Mobil station opened in February of
1995,

says
and the Chevron gas station opened 12-1-95. I don't want to forget
the addition of the Vineyards Shopping Center and the homes there.
The crimes are a worry. They impact our neighborhood. They impact
personally, and I don't want this to happen to my neighborhood.
Bringing in more 24-hour commercial investments, commercial
opportunities, will continue to increase this crime rate. Thank
for your time.

MS. RUDNICKI: No, I didn't.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: My apologies.
MS. RUDNICKI: Thank you.
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Madigan. And then it's either
Mr. Barns or Mr. Bartis, Thomas J.
MR. MADIGAN: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, you have, as
a matter of record, on July 16th on page --in Book 00, page 157,
under Item 12(B) (2) --I'd like to quote from this. It says the
Petition PUD 96-3 --and it goes on to the petitioners. And it
continued to 8-13-96, as long as the petition does not come back
with
a gas station or convenience store as part of that application.
It's
my understanding that the application --the applicants have
returned
this
you
with plans for a gas station and convenience store despite what
says here.
The board has heard extensive testimony regarding this
PUD. Part of this testimony included the implication by the
petitioners' legal counsel to pursue legal action against you if
deny their
petition
because of
petition. Please don't vote to approve this PUD
the threat of --that denial will cause legal action
in
against you. To do so would be a denial of your responsibility of
oversight for the planning and zoning in Collier County. To vote
favor of this PUD because of this implied threat of legal action
will
is
his
use,
encourage every petitioner to threaten legal action if denied.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Can I just let you know they
already do.
MR. MADIGAN: If that should happen
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: They already do and we ignore
them.
MR. MADIGAN: Okay. If that should happen, you have
lost your responsibility of oversight. And I'd like to bring up a
statement that was made by Mr. Anderson in his legal argument. It
says he --under the principals of the City of Sanibel versus Goode
and the City of Clearwater versus College Properties where zoning
so restrictive that it deprives the owner of any marketable use of
property --and the estates zoning deprives him of a marketable
there are --none of the residents of Livingston Woods are
requesting

or arguing that this should not be zoned commercial property. We
arguing, as we have said many times, against a gas station and a
convenience store operated 24 hours.
And I'd like to point out on this map --one thing that
wasn't covered is --my understanding --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Microphone, sir.
MR. MADIGAN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: You have to be on the microphone.
There's one right behind you.
MR. MADIGAN: Thank you. My understanding is that this
PUD on this --what would be the southeast corner, is currently
planned for either the Cleveland Clinic or the Columbia Clinic, and
you will notice that adjacent to that on both --on two boundaries
contiguous are estates zoning. Those are all residential areas.
is Livingston Woods (indicating), and we propose that this
development
be
in this area that has not already been zoned or authorized as a PUD
also limited commercial use as this piece of property is currently
limited. Thank you.
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Barns (phonetic) and then Miss Fehr.
MR. BARTIS: Good afternoon. I'm Tom Bartis; I live at
6641 Livingston Woods Lane. Excuse me. I am the neighbor next
door
to the Falls, who seem to have withdrawn their objection to this
PUD.
No one ever approached me about it personally, and I have to tell
you
that I am still vehemently against this PUD, and I would ask all of
you to consider very carefully your thoughts and considerations
having
to do with that. I have to tell you that having just been a
resident
here in Naples and Collier County for two years, if I had known
that
even
Pine
this kind of thing was going to take place, I would never have
purchased in the area; and I find myself now having deep regrets
having to put up with this much of a hassle.
I would further ask Mr. Hancock, beseech him, to use the
same sage observations he did on the corner of Airport Road and
Ridge when he so criticized the buildings that were there and to
consider what this Raceway (sic) gasoline station would do to the
neighborhood up on Pine Ridge. It's not needed; it's not
applicable;
and therefore, I do respectfully ask all of you to consider very
carefully this item which is going to affect the entire county.
Thank
you.

MS. FEHR: My name is Sandra Fehr. I live at 6911

if you let this one in, I know for a fact there's going to be

everybody

MR. DORRILL: That's all, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I have a question for Mr. Milk.
Thank
Mr. Milk, is there --other than Livingston Road, is there any
connection between any of that strip of commercial properties and
Livingston Woods Lane?
MR. MILK: At this point, no, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Is it contemplated in this application
that there would be?
MR. MILK: No, sir.
the
of
to
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. So if someone comes into this
property --if it would be approved --they still can't drive into
neighborhood --
MR. MILK: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: --from that property?
MR. MILK: That's correct. It would prohibit --this
PUD would prohibit access to Livingston Woods Lane.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Do we have that in the other
properties that have some approval, or do you know or --not part
your review?
MR. MILK: As far as the Naples Gateway PUD, I'm not
sure on that. As far as the master plan was unveiled, it does not.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. The master plan does not.
MR. MILK: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you. Okay.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, two weeks ago I
mentioned my concern and my unhappiness with the fact that we seem
have changed direction between July and --and that public hearing.
But I want to just quickly review the primary objections I had at
that
one
July meeting, since it's been a couple of months.
First, is suitability, and that would be under 2.7.3.2.5
of our Land Development Code. And there are three very specific
questions, and I think Mr. Bonness covered them fairly well; but
of those, is it possible to find other adequate sites for the
service,
and quite obviously it is in this case.
One is, does this fulfill the need of the county and/or
of the neighborhood. And I think maybe Mr. Evans was the best
example
that it's not fulfilling a need. And, again, I know we can't get
into
the economic development side of that, but I think, since that
appears
of
Pine
the
any
in our own Land Development Code, that's a --an appropriate
application, that the need is not there.
And finally, the consistency, and I think it was
Mrs. Yoke said that no one is denying the idea of --of developing
this as a commercial tract. The suggestion is that it be some sort
transitional between the heavy intense use on the south side of
Ridge and what's on the north side.
And that takes us to 2.7.2.5, which deals specifically
with the use and the intensity and all. If --if you look on that
map, there is nothing to the east and nothing to the west, and on
north you have one home per 2.25 acres. The only place you have
intensity is on the south side, on the south of Pine Ridge.
I think there is a very valid point that if we go ahead
and approve --approve this use, we'd have a hard time not
approving
the same use in any one of those parcels that is not fulfilled
there
or when that Gateway comes back under our sunset provision. And I
think it's a valid argument that you need a transitional use in
between; and the fact is, if we do not create a transitional use as
part of this public hearing and this public petition, we're not
going
the
with
the
a
a
to be able to on the others. And while I understand that some of
agreements that Mr. Anderson has made will rise --will bring the
level of future petitions up, what they're required to do, it still
allows that intense use. And I just --I think it's in concert
what we've done elsewhere in the county, and that is retain some
transition between heavy and light uses, and I'd like to see us do
same here.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: If anybody needs --has any more
questions for either the petitioner or the staff --
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I have some questions for staff,
if you don't mind.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Otherwise I'll close --when you're
through, I'll close the public hearing, although I see Mr. Anderson
has something he wants to add.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Mr. Milk, these maps that were
handed out and have all this green on them --I'm --I'm more than
little bit concerned. Is this accurate that there is another gas
station allowable at the Crossroads?
MR. MILK: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: And there's another gas station
allowable at the PUD --
MR. MILK: Yes.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS:
MR. MILK: Yes, ma'am.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS:
--across the street from Napa
--Napa Road?
MR. MILK: That's an accurate map, Pine Ridge Center
West, Pine Ridge Center, and Naples Gateway. That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: That --that --
MR. MILK: That's based on the permitted principal uses
within those PUDs itself. That's why that's explained like that.
That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Now, of course, that doesn't
mean that a gas station will be built, but it does indicate there's
permitted use for it.
MR. MILK: That's correct, ma'am.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: May I ask a question that --that
folds into that?
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Sure.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I was left with two predominant
concerns that need to be answered before a vote can be taken today,
and the second of that is the proliferation of gas stations along
this
corridor. My first reaction is that when you deal with a certain
type
can
of use and a certain intensity of use, we, as a board --my
understanding of --of land-use law, limited albeit, is that you
limit certain types of uses.
those
You can limit the extent to which
the
good
uses are allowed within the confines of
certain areas. My question, Mr. Weigel
of overlays or --or
and this is a little on
spot. But if we were to look at interchange activity centers as a
whole in our Growth Management Plan and determine that there is a
reasonable number of fueling stations due to their unique operating
characteristics that should be allowed and no more than a certain
number, do you feel that that type of an amendment would have a
chance of withstanding a legal land-use challenge?
MR. WEIGEL: I'll defer to my spot-question answerer,
Miss Student.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Especially in consideration of
the legislation.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: And I'll tell you --I'll tell
you my --my feeling is that when we --when we said interchange
activity centers, I think our planning staff was anticipating that
that a spreading of uses --of varied uses throughout, not 16 fuel
gas stations. Something such as one in each quadrant or four
total, I
think, was part of that rationale; and what the folks in Livingston
Woods are dealing with is not just this one, but is this the domino
effect. By opening the gate are there going to be three more right
next to it? That's a reasonable concern. We need to find a way to
limit that, not just for them, but other interchange activity
centers
and can we do so successfully --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: It may --if I could just add to
the question --and --and your question, because of the existence
of
these green PUDs has to be, could we take away from these green
PUDs
on
the
to
their current right to build a gas station by imposing this overlay
the interchange.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: That's not what I understand
understood your question to be.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: No. I'm asking can we make
amendments to the Growth Management Plan that says this number is
maximum, and if they come in and build and --before that number is
achieved, so be it; and if they don't, so be it, but --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I think Miss Student understands the
question. Let's let her answer it.
MS. STUDENT: I think that as long as we have some data
and analysis, the growth --and you're talking about an amendment
the Growth Management Plan; is that correct?
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Correct.
MS. STUDENT: Okay. There is broad requirements under
that
and
the
more
law
the Growth Management Act and Rule 9J-5 which flushes it out and
implements it a little more. If you would and I think anytime
there's some sort of rational basis --and again, that's the reason
for the data and analysis requirement --that we, you know, could
possibly sustain that. Again, it's --without doing some research
so forth in this area, it's hard to give you a concrete answer on
spot.
And also to answer Commissioner Mac'Kie's question, I
feel that where there's already existing zoning, we will have a
difficult problem taking away a land use, if you will. The case
used to be prior to the Private Property Rights Act, which was
enacted
a couple years ago by the Florida legislature, that zoning without
it was sort of a vested-rights-type of question. Zoning without
more
gave you nothing.
that
So it was sort of, if you will, crapshoot at
Act,
point; however, with the enactment of the Private Property Rights
where there is a reasonable investment-backed expectation --and,
again, this is being flushed out. There's no real cases under this
yet, but a property owner may be able to sustain a challenge under
that, in which case the local government has to get out the
checkbook
a
is
and pay the property owner for the value of the right that he lost,
difference between the value of the land prior to and after --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: This is my question: So in
translation, if we imposed a --an overlay district that said three
the magic number or five is the magic number for gas stations in
this
area and there are three already and this guy builds one and this
guy
builds one, you know, the other four or five property owners that
currently are zoned for a gas station can make us buy their
property
yet
can
or
case
if we take away their gas station use?
MS. STUDENT: If I might --that's --that's arguable
because this law is new. There's no reported cases that I know of
under it, because it's a long drawn-out process in the court if it
ever get to a court of appeals, but there's an argument there. But
there's also an argument where you have PUD zoning. There's a case
called the Porpoise Point case. Because it's somewhat contractual
consensual in nature that --the local government can have some
difficulty if there's a land use that was already put in the PUD,
perhaps, in taking it out. Again, that's arguable because that
dealt with a local government's imposition of a PUD zoning on a
property owner's property who did not want it. But under that
general
but
of
heading --these are all arguable --there's no cases yet on that,
there are arguments that could be made.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I understand the difficulty
in arbitrarily removing a use from someone's property; however, at
least a couple are due back to us starting next month under sunset
provisions, so we're going to have an opportunity to look at some
these existing PUDs.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: And if there was action on the
part of this board with justification that a certain type of use
should be limited in geographic areas for the benefit of the
community
initiated prior to that look, I think we have a nexus to make that
argument when we --when we review those individual PUDs. I just -
the idea that there could be a case or, as Commissioner Mac'Kie
said,
they can make us buy their property, I disagree.
MS. STUDENT: It's arguable. It's arguable under that
law. There's a very drawn-out procedure that could go on for
years.
a
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Communities have outlawed stores
of certain sizes and --and --and defended it successfully, so I
think there is some --
MS. STUDENT: But your question had to do with the
Growth Management Plan amendment and --and that's somewhat
different. And then, of course, when you deal with that, you have
whole scenario that was raised, what, almost nine years ago now
when
you changed the Growth Management Plan. Again, vesting and
these
come
but
questions of vesting and so forth, anytime there's a change, they
up; and you know, we need to see how we would deal with that also,
so I think there's enough data analysis you could do that.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Let's let Mr. Anderson say his final
words here.
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the record
my name is Bruce Anderson on behalf of the petitioner. I can't
resist
the temptation to comment on these good questions that you've been
asking. Number one, with existing PUDs, may I suggest that you use
the same approach that you have used so successfully with this
petitioner, and that's called carrot and stick. You don't
necessarily
need to adopt a new set of massive regulations but use a carrot and
stick to get what you want when they come in before you.
Secondly, the question about amending the Comprehensive
Plan to place a limit on the number in each activity center. What
you're talking about, essentially, all stripped away is
first-come-first-served, and that may be a little more defensive.
We've all suffered through three emotional hearings on this
petition,
and it's supposed to be a fact-based application hearing process.
I
do not wish to needlessly prolong this hearing with a summation of
the
facts and remind you of all the stipulations that we've agreed to
and
extra things. However, if any of you, with the exception of
Commissioner Constantine, are not ready to vote to approve this
PUD,
please let me know now so I can answer your questions and try to
convince you to vote for approval.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I'm having difficulty because of
all of these green parcels and the fact that they're already
gas-station approved. And at this point, at least until they come
back to this board in sunset provisions, we have no control over
them
at this point in time.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Let me offer an observation.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I'm concerned about that.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Let me offer an observation and
we've heard here in these three public hearings a couple of
statements. One of them is that the gas stations that are out
there
are not profitable, and they're not economically viable. If you
put
in another one, it's going to be the same and make everything
worse,
and you'll have another losing proposition on this same area. We
also
hear another statement that if this is approved, there'll be three,
four, five more gas stations go in. But you see, those two
arguments
gas
are mutually exclusive arguments.
that. The free market society
economically feasible and what is
The marketplace will not allow
the marketplace dictates what is
not. If --if somebody builds a
station and they're all going broke, there's not going to be a big
rush of people building gas stations. It's just not going to
happen.
is
of
So, you know, that's an observation that sort of goes to your
question.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I understand, you know, the
theory behind that. Unfortunately, theories don't always work.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Well, not only that, it goes
back to our own code and need within the county, within the
neighborhood; and you know, you have the two arguments. The need
one, and as you look at where these greens are with the exception
the Gateway, which is due to come back to us soon, none of the
others
are backing up against a neighborhood like this, and so I go back
to
the transitional argument.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Well, and as to --as to market
out
analysis and market being a driving force, I mean, I can't help but
every time I drive out to the eastern end of Immokalee Road out
around Orangetree, that Randall Boulevard Commercial Center still,
after five years, is vacant. I mean, certainly somebody did a
market
but
analysis that said that that commercial space was --was needed,
obviously it's not. It's still vacant.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. If there's no more questions,
then I'll close the public hearing.
MR. ANDERSON: I --I'd like to --to point out that the
market study that we were required by the Comprehensive Plan to
submit
your
at
with this application concludes that there is a market demand for a
convenience store-service station at this location, particularly
because of its easy accessibility to the interstate and because
Access Management Plan calls for a traffic signal to be installed
the corner of this property.
One of the reasons that this site was specifically
chosen by Racetrac was because they felt that this would be the
best
get
location for safe turning movements for people coming off the
interstate. Because if they're coming off the exit ramp the way
things are today, they have to cut across four lanes of traffic to
over to the Sutherland Plaza. Soon it will be six lanes of
traffic.
If the Racetrac station is built in this location, there's not
going
to be any of that traffic cutting over trying to get over there as
you're exiting the interstate. You're simply going to make a
right-hand turn at the traffic signal. So there is a legitimate
public-safety reason for --for wanting to go at this location as
opposed to some of those others.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I'm going to
make a motion to deny the petition based on 2.7.3.2.5 and on
2.7.2.5
do
as outlined in my earlier comments.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Can I ask some
I mean, this is --this is very difficult.
more questions?
Mr. Milk, when --when
these PUDs come back to this board for sunsetting or whatever it is
that we're supposed to do with them?
MR. MILK: Approximately two months.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: In approximately two months?
MR. MILK: That would be the Naples Gateway PUD, the
Pine Ridge Center PUD, and Pine Ridge Center West PUD.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: And Sutherland is coming back
already in two weeks.
MR. MILK: I believe we
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: And I think we've already given
notice that we're going to open the whole thing up. And the --and
the Vineyards PUD will come back when?
MR. MILK: Well, that's a DRI so that's vested.
some
a
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: It's vested?
MR. MILK: Yes, ma'am.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: It's also constructed.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: No. No, there's more.
MR. MILK: That particular green there --there's about
20 acres there that's unconstructed at this point.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Yeah. But there's a there's
a teeny little green space on Vineyards Boulevard --
MR. MILK: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: --that's also approved; and
that's vested?
MR. MILK: Well, that whole area is about 40-some-odd
acres there at the Vineyards. As it is there's a plaza, there's
outparcels for development for office, possibly gasoline stations,
mixture of C-3 uses.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Realistically, a gas station --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: As we --as we go through the
reevaluation process and the sunset provision --I guess this is a
Miss Student question. Are there limitations on our ability to say
we're going to remove gas station uses from these four PUDs, for
example --
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Well, either that or we let them
sunset. We don't extend them.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: But what is the process?
MS. STUDENT: I don't have the code here with me.
There's --there's criteria in the code for the sunset. As I
recall,
a certain percentage of infrastructure --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: It's not like that, Bettye.
MS. STUDENT: --has to be in. I think one of the
things that you will need to look at is if they are vested. My
memory
fails me right now as to whether or not if it's a DRI that --along
with the PUD that's a whole 'nother scenario. I think they may be
exempt. And then countervailing this, again, you still have the
Private Property Rights Act considerations that go a little bit
beyond
the
the
vesting, you know, if you will, kind of, you know, staring you in
face. Again, as I stated earlier, there's no case law on that, so
it's just some arguments that could be made on --
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Well, maybe you're unable to
answer the question right now, but I think --
MS. STUDENT: Well, there's criteria --
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Let me --let me finish my
question. Commissioner Matthews is pretty close, I think, in that
whole idea of sunset is to give the board a review after a certain
amount of time and --rather than just have it speculated out there
for eternity and --and there's never any chance to look at it
again.
When it comes back to us for a sunset review, it is open, and we
have
an opportunity to deal with that.
aren't
My understanding is that we
required to give everything that some board in 1987 or 1991 gave.
So
the answer is, does this board have the latitude? Yes, it does.
MS. STUDENT: Yes. You can --you can look at it --as
I stated there's some criteria that --in the code that deals with
it,
and there's some, you know, state law and common law principles
that
are in that as well, so --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: But what will the process be
assuming that --that --that the property in question has not met
the
criteria to avoid sunset review and, therefore, is in front of us
for
review.
these.
Can --can we --and I think that applies to most of
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: What is your name, sir?
MR. MULHERE: Bob for the record, Bob Mulhere,
current planning manager, and your staff is currently reviewing all
of
those PUDs, including those for DRis which do not meet the
sunsetting
provisions. We will bring back every single one of those to you
with
the comprehensive review
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: And we can toss them out.
MR. MULHERE: --and we can have all aspects --we'll
identify for you every aspect that is inconsistent with either the
Comprehensive Plan or the Land Development Code, and we will
identify
those. Now, we're able to make a recommendation per the language -
just a clarification of how it's going to work. We're able per the
language in the LDC to make a recommendation to you to either
extend
those PUDs for two years, or you may request that the property
owner
yet
amend the PUD to make it consistent.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Let me ask one other --is there one
other option, and that is to not extend it at all?
MR. MULHERE: No. That's not one of the options unless
--unless the applicant chooses not to amend the PUD per the
direction of the board within six months, then you can rezone. The
code says that you can rezone the property to an appropriate zoning
district.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I think we're putting our eggs in
the wrong basket here. We're trying to rely on a process that has
to be ferreted out to do what's in the best interest of this
community
when, in fact, we have already heard --we have the tools
available,
a
or
albeit arguable, to say in interchange activities center, there is
certain type of uses to an extent, and beyond that it is not
acceptable by this community's standards to --to have five or six
seven gas stations in an interchange activity center. That's why -
that's why I --I think that's the way to go, because the
difference
AGO
is, one, you are controlling your destiny; the other, you're just
letting it be controlled by --by a state attorney's opinion or an
opinion. And I just don't think we should operate that way. This
particular petition needs to be decided on its individual merits,
whether they exist or don't exist, and if part of that is the
proliferation of gas stations, that needs to be addressed
proactively
by this board, not sitting on our heels and waiting for these other
ones to come in and see what we can do.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I agree and I think your
point that we don't want to get to the point --whatever that
number
or
is, five or six or seven in an activity center, but this is eight
nine. And so my hope is we recognize that and that with that
recognition, someone will second the motion.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Well, I'm --I'm tempted to
second it, because I'm really, really concerned about these PUDs
that
for
be
already have gas stations permitted for them.
sunset analysis within 60 days, 75 days
MR. MILK: That's correct.
They're coming back
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: and I --I would feel a lot
more comfortable about this if I knew what was going to happen with
them before we tell these people --and they have a nice-looking
project --to just go ahead and do it. I'm --I'm just not
comfortable with this. And with that being --I've said all the
reasons why, so I'm --I'm going to second it.
MR. ANDERSON: Well, Mr. Chairman, in light of her --
her --Mrs. Matthew's comments, I would request that our petition
continued until after you have dealt with these other three PUDs
that
or
the
you
--that you're going to do through the sunset-review process.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: If --failing that, Mr. Weigel,
could they reapply, or would they be out of the process for a year
two, or what's the --I don't want to --
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: If we turn them down, they're
out of the process for a period of time.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Six months.
MR. WEIGEL: If you --if you act on a motion today
making a determination, yes, they'll --then they will be out of
process for a while. And I --I just wanted to mention to you as
get into your
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: How long is a while?
MR. WEIGEL: It's minimally six months. I think it's --
it may be as --as much as a year, but it's at least six months.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Since the purpose for the second
was to find out the status and condition of the balance, even
though I
area
as
think it's wrong to keep stringing the people of Livingston Woods
out
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Yeah, I don't like it either.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: --if that's the purpose of the
motion or the purpose for the second --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: But the --the answers to your
questions, Commissioner Matthews, have been given to you.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: We can't --steps we feel were
appropriate to amend those PUDs given certain criteria --and I
believe that criteria can include what is in --in and around the
and what's more appropriate to be expanded and what is not as far
uses are concerned. So I think we do have that control. I would
rather be proactive than reactive on it but --
MR. WEIGEL: Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We're left to deal with the situation
that we have today. Today this is a reasonable proposal under our
Growth Management Plan and our interstate activity centers
contained
therein, and the petitioner has given numerous concessions to
protect
the neighborhood.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I --I'm aware of that. That's
why I'm so terribly troubled with this. Mr. Milk, what --what
stops
the sunset process? If any one of these
before our development community process
three PUDs were to be put
(sic) in the next two
weeks
to
--a site plan. Does that stop the sunset process?
MR. MILK: They would normally come in with a site
development plan for infrastructure and development of at least 15
20 percent of that project.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: And that stops the sunset --
MR. MILK: Well, that --
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: --process?
MR. MILK: --would qualify them for not being exposed
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Yes.
MR. MILK: --to the sunsetting procedure.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: You said construction of 15 to 25
percent of the project?
MR. MILK: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: That's all.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: That's --that's considerable.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, they'll never get that done in
60 days.
MR. MULHERE: I believe that's 15 percent of the
infrastructure required in the --the approved phase of the
project.
So they may have a phase approved if they've developed 15 percent -
we have the language here; we can read it to you. But let me put
it
this way: I do not believe that any of those PUDs which are
subject
to sunsetting can qualify between now and then --between now and
two
months based on the review process. I don't think any of them
would
qualify for --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, we have a motion and a second on
the floor. I'm going to call that question.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Well, we --we also have --the
petitioner has asked to withdraw.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: That hasn't been granted.
MR. WEIGEL: Mr. Chairman, just one small point of
information and that is with this particular motion on the floor,
particularly as opposed to a motion to continue, this is a
continued
it
hearing from before, an advertised hearing, and I would appreciate
if the commissioners would just state for the record that their
determinations and decisions today are based upon either the prior
advertised hearings that --that you've had on this very agenda
item
or today's hearing, or if you have other information, just put it
on
the record what affects you in your decisions today.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I've had conversations with the
neighbors as recently as today, but I am absolutely basing my
decision
on what's in front of us today.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I've had
considerable outside contact in this, including a terribly
insulting
telefax today; however, my opinion will be based solely on the
information provided during the three days of public hearing.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I've had considerable input from all
parties involved on this as well, written and telephone and
personal
contacts, but I am basing my decisions based on --specifically on
what I've heard in the three public hearings.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Likewise, I've had extensive
contact on this. I will base my decision on the information
presented
in the public hearings.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: I, too, have had considerable
contact with both the petitioner and the neighbors, and quite
frankly,
my decision is based on this map that just came in today. Mr.
Weigel,
what's the appropriateness for a motion to table? Since I'm the
second on this motion, would it be appropriate for me to motion to
table?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Let me ask you a question.
Rather than continuing, Mr. Anderson, would you consider
withdrawing
the item?
MR. ANDERSON: The entire petition, sir?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: That would give you the
leeway to return in three months' time, and it wouldn't have the
board
continuing the item again. That way you wouldn't have --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Pay another fee.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah. That way you wouldn't
have a six-month ban if you wanted to do something with the
property.
be
MR. ANDERSON: That's an interesting option.
(Laughter)
MR. ANDERSON: Could I --could you take up the next
item and give me --no?
MR. MILK: Can I make a comment too? During this
reevaluation of the sunsetting, a petitioner like Naples Gateway or
Pine Ridge Center may choose to come in and amend the PUD document
itself, so that way we'd be under a whole new review of the PUD
itself. It may take two or three months, maybe four depending on
scheduling and not the 30 or 60 days.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: And the idea that we're going to
amend all these things and be done with it in one afternoon is not
realistic.
MR. MILK: And I think --you know, we're going to let
you know up front which petitions or --or what PUDs are going to
recommended for a two-year extension, what are consistent and
inconsistent with the Growth Management Plan, and what petitioners
choose to amend their own PUDs to bring that into compliance.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Well, that's fine. If
someone brings it in to amend it, it still opens it up for review.
MR. MILK: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Either way. Let me ask you though,
these older PUDs have to bring up to today's standards if they're
going to develop, so does that trigger some sort of a review
process
in your office? It automatically will, won't it?
MR. MILK: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: No matter what they do. So --so one
way or the other, they are going to have to bring those PUDs before
this board.
MR. MILK: What's going to happen is we're going to
bring each of them back with the recommendations and comments from
staff of that expertise, whether it be water management, roads,
water
and sewer, to comment on that and the upgrades.
MR. ANDERSON: Commissioner, I have a --I have a reply
for you. What we would propose is that we have --we would request
a
vote on the PUD with the service station and a vote on the PUD
without
it.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: You want those numbers now?
Because I don't think I could --
MR. ANDERSON: Well --well, I know --I know what the
vote is going to be, I think, on --with the service station. I
don't, however, know what it will be without the service station.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Oh, okay. So you want to --
after the --after the vote --after the vote on the current
motion,
by
you're asking that another motion be made excluding the service
station and have a vote on that one?
MR. ANDERSON: Yes, ma'am.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Okay.
MR. ANDERSON: Yes, ma'am.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Okay.
MR. ANDERSON: And I'd like to have office uses in place
of the service station.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Okay.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion on the floor to deny,
and we have a second for that motion. All those in favor signify
saying aye.
Opposed?
That motion fails. Is there a substitute motion?
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: That motion fails?
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Yes, the motion to deny fails.
COMMISSIONER MATTHEWS: Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I move approval of the PUD with
the substitution of office use in place of the proposed fueling
station.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Is that general office and
medical or just general?
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: General and medical.
MR. ANDERSON: Am I
understand that you have
with
am I --thank you. Am I to
officially denied the PUD as submitted
the service station?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: No, sir, we did not do that. He had
requested that we vote with the service station in tact.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: I'm sorry. Then I'll withdraw my
motion.
MR. ANDERSON: I still want that one but just --
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I'll move approval of --

However, I didn't see medical and general office as a specified use

those in favor signify by saying aye.
