APPROVAL OF 05/16/17 MEETING MINUTES
Mr. Cravens motioned, Mr. Ventress seconded to approve the 05/16/17 meeting
minutes as presented. The motion carried unanimously.
DR. CHICUREL WELCOMED SGT. THAD RHODES AND CPL. NATALIE ASHBY OF
THE COLLIER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Sgt. Thad Rhodes, Collier County Sheriff's Office, introduced Cpl. Natalie Ashby as the
new Pelican Bay CCSO liaison officer. Additionally, he urged residents to secure personal
property and recommended that residents call the Sheriffs Office whenever suspicious activity is
observed.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
OAK LAKE SANCTUARY NOISE ABATEMENT
Oak Lake Sanctuary residents Mr. Vincent Vespo, Ms. Jane Kretz, Ms. Janet Rathbun,
Mr. Jim Issenmann, and Mr. Dennis Coyle commented on the increase in noise resulting from
the removal of exotics along the east side of Oak Lake Sanctuary as mandated by Collier County
Code Enforcement, and discussed possible mitigation options for the PBSD to consider.
Mr. Dorrill commented on the $62,400 AB&B estimate (as included in the agenda
packet) of a nine foot high, 200 foot long berm for fill only. If such a berm was to be installed,
labor costs, landscaping costs, permits, and engineering costs would be additional costs. He
suggested obtaining an acoustic survey comparing the noise level from US 41 heard in Oak Lake
Sanctuary compared to the noise level in Oakmont.
By committee consensus, it was agreed that staff will investigate what effective methods
of noise mitigation are available. After this information is received and reviewed by the
committee, a site visit will be scheduled to assist in evaluating the recommendations.
Dr. Chicurel motioned, Mr. Cravens seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board that no noise abatement construction be undertaken by the PBSD in Oak
Lake Sanctuary. Mr. Cravens motioned, Mr. Shepherd seconded to amend the
motion to add the words, "at this time." The amendment carried unanimously. The
amended motion carried unanimously.
LED BULB CONVERSION
Mr. Shepherd motioned, Mr. Cravens seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board that we complete the conversion to LED bulbs using the existing wattage
bulb that we have already installed on Gulf Park Drive throughout the balance of
the boulevard and we use the smaller wattage, which we already went to trial with,
to the residential areas.. After discussion by the board, Mr. Shepherd withdrew his
motion, and Mr. Cravens withdrew his second.
2
Pelican Bay Services Division Landscape & Safety Committee Meeting
June 20, 2017
Mr. Shepherd motioned, Mr. Cravens seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board that we complete the LED conversion throughout Pelican Bay including 80
watt equivalent bulbs on the boulevard and the 30 watt versions throughout the
residential areas as per "option 1" on the agenda summary sheet included as part of
this meeting. The motion carried unanimously.
GULF PARK DRIVE MEDIAN CUT-THROUGH
Mr. Shepherd motioned, Mr. Ventress seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board, at our own expense, the introduction of a cut-through on Gulf Park Drive
located as nearly to the east as allowed by the various administrative agencies, as a
stand-alone project, and without a deceleration lane. The motion carried
unanimously.
Dr. Chicurel reminded the committee that the County has agreed to provide all the
necessary engineering (at no cost to the PBSD) for this project.
Mr. Jim Issenmann commented on the positive responses to his survey of Oak Lake
Sanctuary residents regarding the proposed Gulf Park Dr. median cut-through project.
RIGHT TURN ONLY ONTO US 41 AT GULF PARK DRIVE
Mr. Ken Dawson commented on the severe negative impact to the community which
would result from restricting residents exiting the community on Gulf Park Drive to a "right turn
only." He provided results of his straw poll and a resident email which were all not in favor of
this proposal. Dr. Dave Trecker also commented against this proposal and stated his preference
for maintaining the current turning options.
Mr. Vincent Vespo commented that he was not in favor of a reduction in PB exit options
and suggested a traffic light at this intersection.
Ms. Jane Kretz suggested that changing the exit options to "right turn only" would further
reduce the property values of the residences in Oak Lake Sanctuary.
Mr. Shepherd motioned, Mr. Cravens seconded to recommend to the full PBSD
Board that the exit from Gulf Park Drive onto US 41 southbound be made a right
turn only intersection and that that be achieved by striping the left lane of Gulf
Park Drive as it approaches US 41 in a converging fashion and the placement of one
"no left hand turn" sign at the intersection. After discussion by the board, Mr.
Shepherd withdrew his motion, and Mr. Cravens withdrew his second.
By committee consensus, it was agreed to not pursue restricting the egress from Gulf
Park Drive onto US 41 to a"right turn only."
PELICAN BAY SIDEWALKS
The committee reviewed AB&B's preliminary opinion of probable cost to widen the
sidewalks from The Commons to the North Tram Station, based on 10/06/11 plans, which
included separate summaries of cost for concrete versus asphalt.
3
Pelican Bay Services Division Landscape & Safety Committee Meeting
June 20, 2017
Mr. Dorrill commented on the widespread community dissatisfaction with PB sidewalks.
He suggested amending the Pelican Bay ordinance so that sidewalk replacement and
maintenance expenses could be funded from PBSD Fund 778.
Dr. Trecker recalled 2011 PBSD discussions on widening PB sidewalks which resulted in
pushback from the community as a result of the project requiring the removal of at least 15-20
trees on PB Blvd.
Mr. Cravens summarized the three components/steps of a community-wide sidewalk
project as (1) seek County support (and negotiate an annual contribution to the PBSD in lieu of
County sidewalk maintenance) and an ordinance modification to allow the PBSD to take full
responsibility for PB sidewalks and their maintenance, (2) determine design specifications
(including width), and(3) determine the sidewalk material (asphalt or cement). By committee
consensus, it was agreed to recommend to the full PBSD Board to begin the process to allow the
PBSD to take full responsibility for PB sidewalks and their maintenance.
