Harry Bandinel discussed revisions to his initial proposal on the 17acre site, he informed
the Committee he is working with different partners including a new Architectural firm,
and Engineering firms and still has a contract with Opera Naples. Harry expressed his
desire to fast track the purchase proposal to shorten the process. He said it takes too long
to wait for an RFP and would like the Committee members support to request the County
Mgrs Office to fast track his proposal to purchase the 17 acre site so he can proceed with
his contract with Opera Naples. He said although he still has a contract to purchase
Shadley's 2.51 acres he'd wants to locate Opera Naples to the CRA property rather than
Mr. Shadley's site and the locate the parking area on the corner lot of Jeepers and
Bayshore Drive. Mr. Bandinel requested a copy of the updated appraisal being done on
the 17 acres site once it is available. He also mentioned CAPA Cultural Center has shown
interest in also locating on the site for local artist performances and studios. The
Committee said they support the project and for him to take his offer directly to the

IX.Advisory Board General Communications:
X. Citizen Comments: Mr. Al Schanzten brought up his email to ensure all the Committee members
understood his concerns about the Eco System in Haldeman Creek and now that it is becoming
frequented by more Manatees and the plant life it is getting better he doesn't want the Sam's Club
coming in and having runoff from the parking lot with debris messing up Haldeman Creek again.
The existing Weir is not sufficient with all the pollution from a Box Store like Walmart and Sam's,
he stated it will just pollute the creek and kill off any plant and animal life there is.
Ms. Pat Young also said she had sent in an email regarding the Sam's Club petition to address her
concerns about a box store moving into the area and the information was provided in the
Committee Members packets. She said currently resides in the Isles of Collier Preserve and she
used to frequent the Shopping Center at Courthouse Shadows when the little stores and dental
office were located there, but now they are all gone she doesn't plan on shopping at the Sam's
Club.
Commissioner Taylor had asked if the Advisory Board would agree to support naming the corner of
Thomason Drive and Bayshore Drive "Dels Corner" since he has been in business for over 52 years
and that was worth recognizing, she would bring it up to the BCC on the l3th as a Proclamation and
the Advisory Committee's unanimous consensus is in support of that request.
