provided in the 100% bid package. Staff provided an update on the
discussion regarding the undergrounding of the FPL lines and provided
some options due to limitation on right of way and the placement of the
utility switch boxes. Consensus by the Committee was to move forward
on the undergrounding across Bayshore. Tami Scott will request a cost
estimate from FPL for the entire project and see if it can be done in
phases if future opportunity arises and will report back on the estimates.
Roundabout - Tami Scott noted she completed some research on flag
poles. Collier County maximum height is 50 feet. Based on the design of
the planter in the roundabout, the staring grade will be 5’-0” feet.
Recommend getting a 40 feet flag pole which will result in a finished
height of 45 feet. Consensus was to move forward with the 40 ft flag
pole. The committee discussed the flag and agreed the specification on
the flag should require that the flag is made in America. The Committee

median area, for additional parking like in Ft. Collins, CO. The median
is about 19ft. wide, so the ideal parking could be parallel or 45 degree
angle parking. Parallel would give 10 spaces and angle parking could
give 18 or 19 spaces. The downside of the parking is to lose the
landscaping on Bayshore Dr. Committee discussion other options for
parking and several members were concerned about removing the
medians. The CRA will be reviewing and updating the Redevelopment
3
Plan in 2018 and options for parking will be one of the items to be
considered.

Haldeman and especially in the preserve area which is part of the Windstar
preserve. Staff will work with Code Enforcement to determine if there is any
violation for exotics in preserves areas. Maurice Gutierrez brought up the
dedication of the Sudgen Pathway to Bill Neil so that is something that should
be part of negotiations with the developers of the 17acre site. George Douglas
asked if we could use the same type of pavers around the roundabout in the area
around the planter on the Haldeman Creek Bridge since it is too expensive to
get artists to paint that. Tami will incorporate it with her bid documents.
XII. Public Comments: Mike Patch thanked the committee for doing the working
and keeping up with the local issues.
XII. Next Meeting: December 6, 2017
XIII. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

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:
Not applicable
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Advisory Board recommended 8-0 at the October 19, 2017 special
