Sidewalk Connectivity, especially along major thoroughfares, is necessary to maintain pedestrian safety. 2. Since the public boat launch was erected, additional people see GGate from the water. I believe that both property values and perception of desirability would increase if back yards and waterways were improved and pridefully maintained. Improving these features in GGate is important too. 3. Over-crowding and un-zoned multi-family residences are expanding problems and must be eliminated. Herman "Skip" Haeger 1. Complete installation of sidewalks along GGate Pkwy and in remaining business areas. Also along roadways where walk to & from School. 2. Establish"Child Safe Zones"by requiring local merchants to provide them. 3. Encourage businesses to become involved in"Small Business Saturday"promotions for increased sales and pedestrian traffic in the community, especially along GGate Pkwy. Paula Rogan 1. Limit new building permits for both residential and businesses. This should generate more green space in our already very crowded neighborhoods. 2. Increase lighting on arterials in GGate City, especially along Sunshine Boulevard. 3. Enforce code to eliminate overcrowded homes and rentals. Florence "Dusty"Holmes 1. Continue sidewalks along GGate Pkwy. 2. Enforce zoning and codes along GGate Pkwy to stop local businesses from covering their storefront windows with advertising. 3. Enforce zoning and codes throughout GGate City to stop single-family residences from being used a 'flop houses' for numerous workers. August 22, 2017 1/2 Golden Gate Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee Priorities for Submission to Commissioner Saunders Ron Jefferson 1. Make Coronado Parkway Golden Gate's 5"Avenue. Have retail lining Coronado with 1" floor of 3 story buildings with apartments above and consistent architecture. Have a central gathering point with a fountain and a location for a Christmas tree. Make use of the vacant property for parking(K-Mart Plaza and vacant lots). We need to have a venue for events throughout the year. If there are ever any long-term plans for Fire Station 70, change the orientation to give the trucks direct access to the parkway rather than Coronado. 2. All roads surrounding Golden Gate City are 4 lanes, Parkway, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara is a priority for a sidewalk on the East side) Green Blvd, and 951. Someday will all have to be 6lanes and only at that time we can improve the walkability, drainage, medians, and lighting. 3. The FPL Substation on 951 needs to be landscaped and somewhat hidden similar to the substation at Livingston and the Parkway. This is something that has been overlooked for 20 years or more. I talked with a representative from FPL and they say it will be addressed in a remodel process that is currently underway at the site. 4. Improve the assets we already have, the Community Center, on canals, and the Golf Course. 5. Connect Golden Gate Parkway straight to 39th Street with a bridge. There are many accidents at the current bridge and residents cannot turn South on 951. Tills intersection currently is difficult on a good day, it must be tough for residents driving rush hour. A common complaint often heard is code violations, we have these existing codes in place that need to be enforced. We are fortunate to have such dedicated Code Enforcement officials working for us in the county but they need our support. Many say the current code violation conditions would not be happening if they occurred within the Naples City limits. What can we do to change this perception and improve the quality of life for our Golden Gate residents? Current events with crime in the city has many concerned. People are asking me what is going on and all I can do is refer them to the Sheriffs website. Personally, city water isn't a priority, but if it did come to fruition it would make sense to add sewer and fiber at same time the excavation is going on. The sewer and fiber could be connected at a later time but at least the infrastructure would be there. Impact fees would be a deal breaker if the residents were to be assessed twice, and what estimated amount would the impact fee be? The additional benefit of adding these utilities would improve drainage by reshaping the swales throughout the city. Fill dirt removed from a large-scale utility/drainage project like this can be deposited at the Junior Deputies Camp and the Florida Sports Park who are both not for profit and part of our history here in Collier County. Construction surrounding these properties is creating storm water drainage problems due to the low-grade elevations at these sites. August 22, 2017 2/2
