IV. Presenters:
Harry Bandinel,President Banroc Corporation:
Mr. Bandinel made a presentation to the Advisory Committee to develop the CRA's 17
acre site on Bayshore Drive. The conceptual plans also incorporated addition of the
Shadley property. Mr. Bandinel said Opera Naples is interested in locating an 850 seat
Opera House with a bar overlooking the lake on Bayshore and he is currently trying to
acquire the Shadley property, a crucial piece to the design. The proposed plans included a
parking garage with a walkway to the Opera Naples site, a commercial and residential
component to include a bridge leading to Sudgen Park, studios, 62, 1 and 2 bedroom
homes within a walking village style community, office space for the CRA and a
marketing office to market activities in the facilities located on the site. The proposal
sought conveyance of the property with no money down,the developer mortgaging the
property to fund the construction of the first phase. Steve Main recommended
forwarding the proposal to the County Attorney, Mark Isackson, and Ed Finn of the
Budget Office for their recommendation. He said the proposal as presented may not be
doable as a result of the CRA's current loan structure. The concept presented was well
received by the Advisory Committee but the proposal will need to be forwarded to the
Budget Office for approval.
