April 1, 2004
PETITIONER
Michael Hawkins, Turrell & Assoc. Representing Andrew Jaffe - requesting a 57
foot extension from the allowed 20. Will accommodate 2 vessels, one 30 & one 40 feet
in length. Dock is approx. 877 square feet of over water structure and accommodates two
boat lifts. Additional protrusion is required to protect the existing oyster bed and provide
adequate water depths for the vessels. The dock will not impede navigation. The
waterway is wide. Has met with the Association, and no concerns or objections.
Are allowed to impact only the mangroves that will be trimmed for the access
walkway. Need a State permit.
Location of the lift for the boat on the lower dock - Mr. Schiffer asked if it is centered
in the area or more towards the waterway in which the boat would stick out past the edge
of the dock. Response from Mr. Hawkins is they just position it on the drawings to make
it realistic on where the lift will sit - most of the time they are put towards the rear of the
boat.
- Mr. Adelstein asked about the width of the dock. It is 41 feet, the owner requested
straight in boring, as he doesn't know what the adjacent owner may do in the future. Mr.
Adelstein stated it is much further out than any of the other docks.
If they were to rotate it according to Mr. Hawkins, there are shallow water depths close,
and they need 4 ½ feet for the smaller vessel.
STAFF
Joyce Ernest - Department of Zoning and Land Development Review - had not
received any objections. Similar boat dock extensions have been granted in Southport for
other dock facilities. The project complies with 5 of 5 of the primary criteria and 5 of the
secondary criteria. Staff recommends approval.
Hearing is closed for motion and discussion.
Mr. Abernathy moved to approve Petition BD-2004-AR-5239. Second by Mr.
Strain. It was amended to state with the staff's stipulations in their report. Mr.
Strain agreed.
Carried unanimously 8-0.

B. CU-2003-AR-3914 - Ann Phillips Pre-School, represented by Terrance L.
Kepple, of Kepple Engineering, In., requests Conditional Use #3 of the RMF-
6 district for Child Care Facility. The property to be considered for the
Conditional Use is located at 860 102nd Avenue North, in the Naples Park
Subdivision, Collier County, Florida.
Those testifying were sworn in by Mr. Budd.
Disclosures - Mr. Abernathy hada phone call asking him to take a look at
the area.
PETITIONER
Terrance Kepple representing the petitioner - conditional use to allow expansion of
the existing Day Care located at 860 102nd Ave. in Naples Park. Requesting expansion
of approx. 1,000 square foot building addition and additional parking on the eastern side
of the project. Will allow approx. 25 additional students attend the facility and required
teachers. They will also construct a sidewalk along the frontage 102nd Ave. North and
provide Water Management on site for the improvements.
During Neighborhood Information meeting, the neighbor west of the project had
concerns with the children throwing pine cones or basketballs in his yard. The neighbor
requested, and they agreed they would place an 8 foot high wood fence along the western
property line and connect it to the building. One additional tree will be placed in the area
to prevent objects going over the 8 foot fence.
His comment on the staff's stipulations is that they are to add an 8 foot fence along the
western most south property line. No objection, but the remainder is fenced with a 6 foot
fence and would be out of character with the 8 foot.
Mr. Murray asked about the clarification of a wall or fence. Response was the neighbor
requested a wood fence. It can be either.
Mr. Adelstein asked if it could be a walt as to the noise barrier. He felt a wall would be
better for abating noise.
Discussion followed on the wall versus a fence with protection against noise and objects
being thrown into the neighbor's area.
Mr. Abernathy asked about the sidewalk - when he looked at the area, seemed there
was a paved drop off area. He didn't know what a sidewalk would add to the area.
4
April 1, 2004
Mr. Kepple showed the Site Plan - County has asked for a sidewalk along frontage, and
then connected to the building - 102nd to the door of the building, through the
landscaping. Would be 5 foot wide. They have no objection to it.
Mr. Strain asked where the sidewalk would go. They are requiring them to waste
money, time and costs to run a sidewalk to nowhere dead ending in the dirt. He didn't
think it made any sense.
Mr. Kepple stated it is through the SDP process and the Code requires it everywhere
except for single family homes.
Mr. Abernathy stated anyone coming to the place will come from the east or west and
walk across a paved 15 foot driveway in order to get to the little 5 foot sidewalk.
Many of the Commissioners expressed - they do not have to agree with it.
Mr. Schiffer asked about how many students are licensed to be there now - answer was
75.
Mr. Strain asked Mr. Kepple if they were to make a motion to include waiving the
requirement of a sidewalk in front of the property, would he have any objection.
He answered he would not, but the Transportation Department isn't going to like it.
Mr. Strain stated the Transportation Dept. isn't always correct in all cases.
Mr. Schmitt reminded the Commissioners in the LDC Amendments were debated, went
to the BCC, debated again, and now they are living with the change.
He has directed his staff with some submitting payment in lieu of; because there are
places that it doesn't make sense. This is one where the LDC requires it.
STAFF
Fred Reischl - Department of Zoning and Land Development Review - concerning
the sidewalk - the property to the east is zoned C-3 (Commercial). When it is developed,
it will have to have a sidewalk and will connect to the eastern side.
Mr. Abernathy stated they are arguing the north/south one and Mr. Richardson said he is
arguing both.
Mr. Reischl then answered it is not a stipulation put in conditional uses, transportation
department put it in and he included it - it is an SDP requirement.
Staffdid not have an objection on a 6 foot wall. Staffis recommending either one; fence
or wall. Sound is not an issue.
5
April 1, 2004
Discussion again followed on being a wall or fence.
Mr. Midney had a question on changing the character of the neighborhood on the 6 or 8
foot wall.
Mr. Reischl stated 6 feet is the maximum height in RMF-6. It will be between the two
houses and visible from the front curving around and connect to the new addition on the
building.
Mr. Schiffer wondered if they set a limit to how many students there can be.
Mr. Reischl stated it is a State requirement.
Mr. Schiffer responded on whatever can be packed in, staff is happy?
Mr. Reischl didn't feel it was packed in.
This is zoned RMF-6, with commercial sidewalk and not commercial zoning so do not
have 'to meet Division 2.8 for architectural standards. This will also improve parking in
the neighborhood.
Mr. Richardson stated this is a facility that provides a service to the community and
providing a day care in Naples Park is critical. He applauds their willingness to expand
the facility and supports it.
Hearing is closed for motion and discussion.
Mr. Budd agreed with Mr. Richardson and anytime they can encourage and make
feasible child care facilities in Collier County, it is something greatly needed. If the
neighbors are interested in an 8 foot fence, give them what they want.
Mr. Abernathy moved to forward Petition CU-2003-AR-3914 with a
recommendation of approval including a fence or wall. (The owner can have his
choice.) This is per staff's recommendation of an 8 foot high fence and recommends
to the BCC they waive their requirement of the 5 foot sidewalk connecting the
east/west sidewalk to the front door.
Marjorie Student asked if planting some vegetation is part of the stipulation.
Mr. Strain clarified the following:
· The applicant has volunteered additional landscaping and the landscaping is
included as a stipulation.
· Under Condition 1 of the staff's conditions, says: where along the western most
10 feet of the south side of the playground (referencing another 8 foot section of
wall) he thought they agreed it could be 6 or 8 'feet to keep in alignment with the
esthetics of the neighborhoods.
· Condition #2 - instead of approving it with that condition on it, why don't they
approve it with the stipulation of the landscaping. Condition #1 is they
6
April 1, 2004
recommend the amendment, and not approve with Condition 2. Leave Condition 2
off the approval. (The north/south sidewalk link)
Motion and Second are in agreement to amend the motion as stated above.
Mr. Schiffer had a concern it may be the requirement of the ADA. He would like to see
the ADA require it and could be determined during building permit. Nothing they can do
to overrule it.
After much discussion Ray Bellows stated they do not have to list a stipulation that is
required by ADA. Will be discussed in the SDP process.
Motion carried unanimously 8-0.
ge
Old Business: · Joint meeting is scheduled for April 20th (EAR) Evaluation Appraisal
Report - GMP Amendment dates will be given at a later date.
· April 15th meeting - GMP delayed.
e
New Business:· Mr. Abernathy was disappointed with Mr. Gochenaur's presentation.
· Made statements that boathouses are used solely for protecting boats. They know
they hold parties as well.
· Many times referred to boathouses as boat covers - which are misleading.
· Showed cigar boats and lifts for someone's viewing, and noting to do with
boathouses.
· Whole thing was slanted for not doing anything about boathouses.
· Two Coastal Commissioners agreed to an overlay for Commissioner Halas'
District.
Mr. Richardson mentioned it was left to the County Manager on how the
community was going to be surveyed for those on the Coastal area.
Mr. Schmitt stated Commissioners Fiala and Coletta made it clear to staff that
they do not support any proposal. They will have a questionnaire sent out in the
water bills. It will give them an idea if there is support for some type of overlay
in the Vanderbilt area. Question on abandoning boathouses, and if so, do they
concur with the existing boathouses remaining. It is an emotional issue. Was not
an attempt to sway the board one way or another but to point out what the issues
and concerns are.
The current issue is to grandfather the ones that were there.
7
April 1, 2004
Would have to establish an amortization period and hard to take it away or get rid
of them.
Mr. Schiffer stated it is a neighborhood or waterway or canal issue. It showed a
lot of structural problems and someone should be checking with whatever is
existing.
Joe Sehmitt said they discussed boat covers. Followed up on Little Hickory
Shores in which they found 47 violations and let the Board know the property
owners that have the vinyl covers. Wanted the Board to understand and staff
followed their direction in doing what was needed.
Mr. Strain stated it sounded like it came out the way it should have.
Commissioner Fiala and Coletta have not heard about any complaints in their
districts about boathouses. The only complaints heard was from Vanderbilt
Beach and tried to recommend the issue be included in the Vanderbilt Beach
Overlay but too late to get it in.
Mr. Shiffer asked if the results are made public in which Mr. Schmitt responded
they will report back to the Planning Commission and the Board of County
Commissioners so they are all aware of where staff is.
11. Public Comment Item - None
12. Discussion of Addenda -
Mr. Richardson asked about topics for a workshop that the CCPC would like to
hear.
Mr. Schmitt mentioned they will try to get a workshop on the Impact Analysis
Model for possibly this fall. The DRI may not be in for Ave Maria until this fall
or next year.
Discussion followed on:
· A workshop in June/July.
· Land Use Petitions
· Ave Maria showing Fiscal Neutrality and other developments has not.
· Dr. Fishkind hired by DCA & Collier Enterprises - worked and developed the
model for Collier County. Model is also being applied and implemented for other
counties.
Model will show Revenues collected - project being economic burden or not on
the County.
· Ave Maria Project & Budget
· Special District was created and requirement of a fiscal component analysis -
creating the Special District is beyond the scope of the CCPC.
April 1, 2004
E-mail information for FA Model
Hiring a Fiscal Impact Analysis Technician
· LDC - Staff analyze Model
· Vanderbilt Beach Overlay - model was used
· Fishkind Representative was in attendance at meeting and stated none of it would
be in the Financial Model. Mr. Schmitt stated there may have been a
misunderstanding - the entire area is in the model, only the taxes can be assessed.
Mr. Budd question whether they are discussing a specific petition that was not
announced and the merits of the petition.
Mr. White responded to the extent they will have a DRI to look at, potentially yes,
but are discussing it theoretically rather than a practical discussion about a quasi
judicial matter. It is part of the SRA and SSA discussion that the Board had.
Mr. Budd decided not to go any further.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was
adjourned by order of the Chair at 9:27 AM.
