IV. Presenters:
Mattamy Homes Neighborhood Informational Meeting:
Presenters were Q Grady Minor and Associates, Wayne Arnold. Wayne representing
Mattamy Homes, Matt O'brien was present. The property is located on the northwest on
the corner of Thomasson/Bayshore Dr. They have submitted to the County for a PUD
rezone to permit 276 units, the existing lake will remain and 2 other lakes will be made
on the property with one central amenity for the residents. A conceptual plan was
presented to the audience. Matt O'brien provided history of their company stating they
are one of the largest private home builders in North America. At this time they are
unsure of what building type they will construct. Single-family, townhouses and condos
are being sought in the rezoning application. The building type constructed will be based
on the market at the time of approvals. There were questions from residents about the
property and a resident on Pine St. had asked if there was going to be a barrier wall along
Pine St or plans to put a wall along the property that lines Pine. There were a lot of
concerns of drainage but Wayne Arnold assured the residents that there will be no
negative adverse effects from the new homes being built on the lot. There hasn't been a
decision on the name of the Community at this point but will take any recommendations
if someone would like to suggest something. Their next step is to go before the Planning
Commission and then the Board of County Commissioners.
Sams Club-presented by Q. Grady Minor and Associates, Wayne Arnold and Kite
Realty representative, Doug Kirby. Wayne went through the plans of the property with
traffic entrance and exits on and off the property. They will close the access that leads
onto Peters Ave., so there will be no traffic impacts on the small residential street. They
are coordinating with the City of Naples and CRA regarding the sidewalks that are
required to be addressed in the Land Development Code through construction or payment

in lieu of. The City and CRA's is working on an infrastructure project to upgrade the fire
suppression system, but it does not include construction of sidewalks. The existing
buildings will be demolished except for the Buffalo Wings. There were complaints that a
Super Walmart going across the street from Courthouse Shadows Shopping center and
having 2 big box stores across from one another was not desired. Some of the public
would like to see a smaller version of Mercato, with a mix use component. Commissioner
Fiala had no issue with Sam's Club and is encouraged by the new development coming
into the area because the building has been vacant for so long. Commissioner Taylor
suggested that Doug Kirby revisit a new concept and consider a model of a Sam's Club in
Manhattan that is very urban with living on top. Kite Realty was questioned if they
would be willing to discuss some other options with developers on the property. The
advisory committee wanted to take a consensus of support for the Sam's Club, 4-3 in
favor of Sam's Club.
V. Project Updates
1. Gateway Triangle Properties: The Buyers formerly requested to exercise their option to
extend the due diligence period (October 6th). At their September 15, 2016 public meeting, the
Naples Airport Authority's (NAA) will hear a request by the Buyer to amend their June 16th
decision to support up to 150 feet building height to include an additional 10 feet for
building/rooftop appurtenances and remove their mandate for the Buyers to grant an aviation
easement over the site. They are still waiting for comments from the FAA. There was
$50,000 deposit and additional $10,000 money for the extension request. The money is
refundable if they do not get their rezone and subsequent requests in the contract.
2. Solstice f/k/a Cirrus Point: The proposed Purchaser requested an extension, but his deposit
has gone hard. He met with County zoning staff to discuss amending the approved PUD from
condo to townhouses and maintaining the affordable housing component. The developer was
talking about some nice leed certified homes being built there.
3. The Garden School: They submitted their plans to the County.
4. Microbrewery: They submitted their Site Improvement Plan for permits on July 26th and
County provided an insufficiency letter on August 17th (this is typical). The applicant will be
required to address the comments and resubmit the plans.
5. Sugden Park Pathway: The pathway design was completed by the firm of Trebilcock
Consulting Solutions, PA. The estimated cost of construction is determined to be
$292,537.07. CRA staff is in discussions with the Parks and Recreation Department
regarding the possibility of a partnership to fund the pathway.
6. Karen Dr Stormwater: The contract for the grant funding will go to the BCC for signature
in October and we anticipate bidding the project out in November. Staff received approval
from the Grants Department to incorporate the property just north of Karen and south of the
Haitian Church into the project to alleviate the current flooding on the property. ($350,000).

the applicable information if anyone wanted to attend
9. Thomasson Drive: The right of way issues will be resolved through a redesign of the project
at the intersection of Bayshore and Thomasson and along the property known as Cirrus
Pointe. The inclusion of a roundabout at the intersection will address the limited right of way

contract will have to be approved by the BCC. Construction is estimated to be complete in
April 2018.
