Agenda item 4a– October 5, 2017 special meeting minutes
BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT LOCAL
ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 5, 2017 MEETING
The meeting of the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Advisory Board
was called to order by Chairman, Maurice Gutierrez at 6:00 p.m. at the Collier County
Government Center, Fifth Floor Training Room, 3299 Tamiami Trail E., Naples, Florida
34112.
I. Roll Call: Advisory Board Members Present: Maurice Gutierrez, Shane Shadis,
Karen Beatty, Mike Sherman, Steve Main and Ron Kezeske. Larry Ingram and
Peter Dvorak have excused absences.
CRA Staff Present: Shirley Garcia, Operations Coordinator, CRA; Tami Scot,
Sr. Project Mgr., Tim Durham, County Managers Office and Debrah Forester,
CRA Director.
II. Pledge of Allegiance: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Chairman Gutierrez.
III. Introductory remarks: Tim Durham gave an opening statement about the
Invitation to Negotiate process for the CRA 17 acre site. Three proposals were
received and each one will have time to present followed by questions and answer
period. Tim discussed the 17 acre MPUD of permitted uses and approved
Building types. The opinion from the County Attorney’s office prohibits the
proposers to contact the advisory board members or vice versa or that could
disqualify them from the process.
Presentations:
a. Arno- Bayshore Arts Village; Arno Devilliers’ presentation introduced the
project that included a mixed-use component with a Cultural Center. The
residential mix includes artist’s live work units. The pedestrian pathway allows
for public access into Sudgen Park. The proposal also has a garage for public
parking. He introduced an educational center for the arts, some outdoor café’s,
and patio style seating for public enjoyment of the village. The project includes an
office for the CRA as well. Ron Kezeske asked his questions about financing and
workforce housing and the sizes of the units. He wanted to inquire about the
cultural component and if that was feasible.
b. Banroc-Forge Development Group; Harry Bandinel presented the mixed use
project with a cultural component as well and showed 2 different designs, one of
which has the Opera House in Sudgen Park with several entrances into the park
2
for easier convenience. Banroc’s proposal on both options shows office space,
retail stores, restaurants and boutiques with residential components for sale. The
parking would be under the residential and some commercial components with a
request for a cost share from the CRA to offset the parking costs. Ron Kezeske
complimented on both the options but brought up the concerns about the Advisory
Board having the preference to choose the option that includes the cultural
component on the property, would they be willing to do that project option. Harry
stated they would be willing to look at it but he thinks it would not be marketable
or buildable because there is no land mass to complete the entire project he would
need to build to make it profitable.
c. Minker Properties; Clark Minker presented an option for 200 apartments for
lease, his project would not be able to include a cultural component due to the size
of the property. The plan also includes a small mixed-use building with retail on
the ground floor and apartments above. Mr. Minker stated they are a fully funded
project and are not asking for any concessions from the County, no impact fee
waivers, no tax rebate. They estimated $625,000 of TIF would be generated for
the CRA District. Ron Kezeske asked why the proposal didn’t include higher
density and the response was higher density required additional parking and there
was not enough land to accommodate it. Mike Sherman asked if they would be
interested in building the cultural component in Sudgen Park like the other
developer wanted to do and he was willing to think about it.
XI. Advisory Board General Communications: The Advisory Board members
discussed the Sugden Park Pathway proposed to be located on the 17 Acre site.
The project is approved for Community Development Block Grant funds to build
the pathway and that is not transferrable to the developer. The pathway would
belong and have to be maintained by the CRA for at least five years. They
discussed giving back the money to the County to give toward another needed
project to another subrecipient. They wanted to meet in a couple of weeks to
decide on the developers and the pathway. Maurice Gutierrez made the motion to
meet in 2 weeks to consider the proposals and to make a recommendation on the
projects to forward on to the CRAB/BCC to proceed for negotiations and to
include an item to review the CDBG Sugden Park Pathway Project. Ron
Kezeske second. Passed unanimously.
XII. Citizen Comments: There was some public comments on the projects, some
questions on the length of time to get these projects underway and completed.
There was some concern that the Cultural Center would be in a County park and
not the CRA land. A citizen comment on whether CDBG money could be
relocated to another area to make a path.

XIII. Next Meeting Date: TBD
XIV. Adjournment – The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Sr. Project Mgr., Tim Durham, County Managers Office and Debrah Forester,
CRA Director.
II. Pledge of Allegiance: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Chairman Gutierrez.
III. Introductory remarks: Tim Durham introduced the developers and provided an
overview of the process and noted that each presenter was requested to answer the
3 follow-up questions that were provided to them before the meeting.
Presentations:
a. Minker Properties; Clark Minker thank the Committee for providing him
another opportunity to discuss his. He explained the due to the size of the parcel,
is project would not be able to include all the elements that were listed in the ITN
the County sent out. He noted the experience of his team and that funding for the
project was in place. He explained the phasing and timing of the project. Once
the apartments were completed he would be review the option to build an opera
house in the park. The Board raised questions regarding home ownership vs.
rental and low-income housing developments in the area. Mr. Minker responded
that there is a market demand for rentals and that his project is not a subsidized
affordable housing development. Larry Ingram requested clarification on a past
judgement that was filed and was concerned with any impact it may have on the
future financial commitment and development of the project.
b. Banroc-Forge Development Group; Harry Bandinel thanked the committee for
the opportunity to present and discuss connectivity to Sugden Park. He spoke to
his engineer regarding building the proposed 12 ft. boardwalk connection to
Sudgen Park in the beginning of the project to provide a bicycle and pedestrian
2
path. He also discussed the benefits of a mixed use project including additional
tax base and new jobs. He reviewed the site plan and noted the nature component
with the existing water and preserves that are already on the property. He
discussed the proposed residential with parking underneath which will provide a
view of the lake and easy access from parking space to dwelling unit. Karen
Beatty asked if the plans were drawn to scale, the height of the performing arts
center and Mr. Bandinel answered yes.
c. Arno, Inc.- Bayshore Arts Village; Arno Devillier thanked the committee for
the opportunity to present his project again and addressed his answers to the
questions. He noted his vision is to provide an urbanism type project, to make it a
pedestrian friendly village. His connectivity to Sudgen Park will be open to the
public with the Cultural Center on the site allowing it to remain in the CRA
district. His concept offers a wide variety of living, shopping and cultural events
all in one location. His project will have an office space for the CRA with a
meeting room connected to host public meetings. He will provide for affordable
housing for single, couples and elderly who wants to downsize after retirement.
Peter Dvorak asked about different projects Arno worked on and Mr. Devillier
noted that unfortunately the developer passed away before the project was
completed. Steve Main asked if he would be interested in pursuing buying Mr.
Shadleys property since it is in the middle of the CRA’s 17 acre site. Mr. Devillier
stated he has a verbal commitment with the owners that if he gets this project he
would be able to put that property under contract. Peter Dvorak asked if he would
need a height waiver for the Opera House and he stated he would.
Advisory Board Discussion: Maurice Gutierrez brought up some points regarding the
vision and history of the Community and the site needs more than just housing.
Since the CRA owns the property and they can control what gets developed on
the property. He noted that two of the proposals included the elements identified
in the bid and he suggested they start to negotiate with the two. Karen Beatty
agreed with Maurice and stated that the reason the CRA purchased the property
was to create a mixed-use cultural district for the Bayshore District. Mike
Sherman sees the two projects are very similar but he is not sure the concepts are
feasible. He wanted to rank the projects and suggested Banroc Forge #1 and
would suggest Minker because Minker’s project appeared to be financially
feasible. Peter Dvorak noted all three are good projects, however he has some
concerns regarding the financing for the two mixed use projects. He wanted to
remind everyone that the CRA has been holding onto the property for a long
time, and if these projects are not feasible they may want to keep the site or
change the vision of it. Maurice Gutierrez brought up his concern that the
development become a rental community, that the vision was a mixed use and it
was worth taking the chance on one of the projects that included the uses listed
in the solicitation. As an investment for the Community if these projects cannot
3
be built he would rather see green space with a connectivity to Sugden and other
board members agreed. Peter Dvorak made a motion to make a yes or no to
move the projects forward to negotiations as a recommendation to the Board.
Karen Beatty second the motion. Passed unanimously. Tim Durham asked each
member to vote yes or no on each project. The results: Minker project was seven
no and one yes. Banroc Forge had eight yes to move forward. Arno, Inc had
seven yes and one no. Tim Durham stated the item will be on the November 14th
BCC/CRAB Agenda and it will be a “time certain” item. Each presenter will
have 10 minutes to present, followed by Board discussion. Once the time is
scheduled, staff will inform the Committee.
Sugden Park Pathway: Staff presented an overview of the Sugden Park
pathway project and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
that were approved for a portion of this project. Staff is requesting the Advisory
Board’s input on keeping the grant funds and moving forward as outlined in the
grant application or to not accept the funds and have the money reallocated to
another qualified County project. Discussion followed regarding the timing and
the future development of the 17 acre site. Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to
revert the money back to the County, Peter Dvorak second the motion. 7
approved, one nay. Motion passed.
XII. Citizen Comments: One citizen comment was that the Banroc project falls
outside of the CRA District and he supported the Arno, Inc project more because
of that.
XIII. Next Meeting Date: November 7, 2017 @ 6pm.
XIV. Adjournment – The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

homes. They have stated they would abandon the idea of building their gas
station on Palm if they are able to get the distance waiver on Shadowlawn and
US41. The advisory board expressed concerns due to proximity of the
elementary school as well as the amount of traffic that would increase on the

restrictions on the deed. The Advisory Board members raised questions
regarding ownership and questioned the additional time extension. Ron

negotiating with one or two developers simultaneously.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board (CRAB), decline the CDBG Grant award of $143,399 to partially
fund the Sugden Regional Park Pathway.
OBJECTIVE:
The Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) - Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA has
recently completed a solicitation for “Invitation to Negotiate” (ITN) for the 17.89 Acre site owned by the
CRA. The site is located on Bayshore Drive and is adjacent to Sudgen Park. One of the goals of the CRA
is to provide access from Bayshore Drive to Sugden Park, which was referenced in the ITN. The
proposals were presented to the CRAB on November 14 and review is continuing. The two proposals
being reviewed incorporate a connection to Sugden Park that will achieve the goal of connectivity
between Bayshore Drive and the Park.
In light of the pending selection process and to avoid potential conflicts with the proposed design intent,
the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Advisory Board voted to recommend that the pathway project not
move forward as outlined in the grant application.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Time line to date:
• In May of 2016 the Community Redevelopment Agency hired Trebilcock Consulting Solutions,
PA to design a pathway with connectivity from Bayshore Drive to Sugden Park, total contract
$26,324.
• In August of 2016, 30% Construction Documents and an Opinion of Cost were provided to CRA
staff, total cost of pathway $292,537.
• In November of 2016, an easement was recorded with Collier County, the easement is running
32’-0” wide x 1,330 ‘-0” deep, along the south property line directly behind the residential
parcels on Jeepers Drive.
• In November of 2016, the contract between the Community Redevelopment Agency and
Trebilcock Consulting Solutions was suspended awaiting word on the grant application. The
amount paid to date was $11,767.00 with a remaining balance $14,557.
• In March of 2017 the Community Redevelopment Agency applied for a Community
Development Block Grant for $292,537.
• On April 27, 2017 the Community Redevelopment Agency was notified from the CDBG that the
project has been partially funding in the amount of $143,399.
• On September 26, 2017 the Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation of $143,399
to the Sugden Park project.
• The grant agreement between the BCC and the CRA has not been executed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $143,399 will be re-appropriated to other qualified projects in Collier County. The CRA will not
receive the grant funds to supplement the construction of the project. The remaining $14, 557 from the
design contract will not be spent.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT:

Safe Routes to School
Florida Department of Transportation
Tallahassee, FL
RE: Safe Routes to School Application - Linwood A venue Sidewalk Construction to
Shadowlawn Elementary School
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to convey the Bayshore Gatew ay Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency's
support for Collier County's application to the Florida Department of Transportation's Safe
Routes to School Program for Linwood A venue (Shadowlawn Elementary).
We are in full support and truly believe that sidewalks provide many benefits including safety,
mobility and healthier communities. Neighborhood sidewalks provide a place for children to
walk, run, skate, ride their bikes and play, while providing a significant reduction of accidents
and vehicle collisions. Since our neighborhood has a high population of pedestrians and bicycle
riders we firmly are in support of the need for sidewalks that are positioned near schools, transit
stops and shopping.
As a County's redevelopment agency we have.: worked tirelessly to improve the East Naples area
since 2000. We continue to bring governmen t agencies, nonprofit services, schools, community
and neighborhood retail and commercial together to implement at vision that addresses issues of
safety and neighborhood connectivity. The construction of a sidewalk in our neighborhood,
connecting the children to school, is critical to the safety and wellbeing of our children.
Our organization looks forward to working with Collier County and the Florida Department of
Transportation to install a much needed sidewalks along Linwood Avenue for our children. We
urge the FDOT to support this application.
