ORDINANCE 89-68 RE PETITION R-89-10, SALVATORE Co SCUDERI OF SCUDERI
AND CHILDS REPRESENTING RO~.NO AND LAURA CIOCCA REQUESTING A REZONE
FROM RO TO RSF-2 FOR PROPERTY ON THE N~ST SIDE OF SOUTH BARFIELD
DRIVe, MARCO ISLAND. (COMPANION TO PETITION PU-89-9) - ADOPTED
SUBJECT TO PETITIONER'S AGREEMENT
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 21, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
R-89-10, filed by Salvatore C. Scuder] of Scuderi and Childs repre-
senting Romano and Laura Ciocca requesting a rezone from RO to RSF-2
for 3.5 acres of property located on the west side of South Barfield
Drive approximately 200 feet north of the southerly terminus of South
Barfield Drive, Marco Island.
David Weeks, Planner, stated that the subject property is located
on Marco Island at the end of South Barfield Drive and pointed out
the property on the displayed map. He indicated that the applicant
proposes to rezone 3-I/'2 acres to RSF-2 and divide the property into 4
lots for single family homes. He emphasized that the Board of County
Commissioners will be considering rezoning the property to single
family, not approving the lot layout or road location. He noted that
Staff reviewed the request, and has no objections, as it is a logical
extension of the surrounding development. He stated that to the east
and ~outh is RSF-3, single family; to the west is Caxambas Pass, a
waterway; and to the north is HeiGhts Waterway. He stated that this
Petition is not consistent with the point system in the Zoning
Ordinance, but Staff feels that the property has adequate public ser-
vices, facilities and roadways for the project. He noted that the
water and sewer demands can be easily accommodated by existing ser-
vices and the impact on public services and facilities are negligible.
He reported that the CCPC recommended this Petition for approval on
September 21, 1989. He stated that the speakers at the Planning
Commission expressed concern about the 3 lots and the existing and
conceptual road. He explained that access for the 3 lots to the south
might be to the proposed new road, as opposed to the existing road,
Page 4
October 10, lgsg
and if the access were located there, the orientation of the houses
would be different and the residents across the existing street would
be viewing a back yard.
Mr. Weeks stated that the second Petition before the Board of
County Commissioners is a provisional use request for a docking faci-
lity to moor boats, but there will be no launching of boats. He
pointed out the proposed location at the end of Heights Waterway on
the displayed map. He explained that the dock will be 85 feet long,
adjacent to the seawall, and protrudlnH § feet to the waterway to
serve the 3 lot owners who do not have waterway access. He indicated
that the other lot owners have waterway access and have their own
individual lots. He reported that Staff has no objection to that
location and the impact of noise, etc. will l,e neHltgible and recom-
mends approval. He stated that the CCPC held their public hearing on
September 21, 1989, and also forwarded this Petition to the Board of
County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval, but added one
stipulation after the public comment. He noted that some speakers
expressed concern about the effect the dock facility would have on the
surrounding properties. He explained that the CCPC made the recommen-
dation that the dockfn9 facility be moved, and pointed out the loca-
tion on the displayed map, to the larger part of the waterway along
the north part of proposed Lot D. He indicated that this would have
less impact on the surrounding properties. He pointed out that
Staff's recommendation is: 1) approve the rezone, and stipulate that
there be no access from these 3 lots adjacent to the south vehicular
access to the proposed roadway should it be approved on the
Subdivision Master Plan and 2) approve the provisional use with the
relocation of the dock facility.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Weeks indicated that due
to the configuration of the property, there would be approximately 6
lots.
A discussion followed about the boat docks.
Attorney Salvatore Scuderi of Scudert and Chi/ds stated that there
Page 5
October 10, 1989
will be 4 lots, not 6 and displayed a drawing. He indicated that his
client is willing to accept the recommendations of the CCPC to move
the docks to the larger water area than where originally proposed.
He explained that there will be an easement granted to the 3 lots, Lot
1, 2 and 3 on the other side of the road, and a Homeowners Association
will own the road, own the dock and there will be the necessary
restrictions with regards to leasing dock space. In response to
Commissioner Volpe, Attorney Scuderi stated that he did not know if
there is a County Ordinance that stipulates which way a house should
face. He assured the Board of County Commissioners that the lots will
face the existing court.
Mr. Elklund indicated that he Just arrived from Europe, and as a
lot owner in the area, has no ob3ections to the Petition.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Shanahan staved that approving this petition is the
right thing to do as it is compatible with the area and should not be
formulated as a yacht club or marina.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight,
and carried unanimously, that the Ordinance as numbered and titled
below be adopted and entered into Ordinance Book 36 subject to the
Petitioner's Agreement and the additional stipulation that "There
shall be no access provided from this project's road to the adjacent
three lots to the south":

RESOLUTION 89-282 RE PETITION AV-89-017, WILLIAM AND ANN PHILLIPS
REQUESTING VACATION OF A PORTION OF A FIFTY FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY EASEMENT
ON A PORTION OF LOT 4~ BLQCK "B"~ GULF ACRES - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 24 and October l, lgBO, as evidenced by Affidavit of
Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to con-
sider Petition Av-8g-17 filed by Attorney J. Thomas Conroy, Asbell,
Wains, Doyle & Pickworth, P.A. representing William and Ann Phillips
requesting vacation of a portion of the 50' right-of-way so Petitioner
can build within the right-of-way.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that
this is a request to vacate a 50 foot easement fronting along Lot 4,
Block B, in Gulf Acres Subdivision which is on the east side of U.S.
41, immediately north of Ohio Drive. He explained that this area was
originally platted in ]g23 as the Naples Improvement Company Little
Farms, Lots 75 and 76 and later rep]atted in 1957 to Gulf Acres. He
noted that as a result of a title search, a lending institution
entered into the public record, a public right-of-way for that 50 feet
and it was not platted as a road right-of-way by plat, but by an
instrument prepared by a lending institution. He stated that this
vacation is simply to clear up a title concern that relates to a docu-
ment indicating 50 feet of public right-of-way, Lot 4, Block B of Gulf
Acres. He reported that the current property is zoned PUD and used
for commercial purposes, has been built on and the front area of the
lot is used for parking for a building within a portion of this loca-
tion. He explained that the vacation follows the requirements of the
County, noting that letters of no objection have been received and
Staff has reviewed the Petition and has no objections. He noted that
the right-of-way is not needed for future public roads and a
resolution has been prepared calling for the vacation of the public's
interest to the road right-of-way.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Hames and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.

RESOLUTION 89-283 RE PETITION AV-89-018, PATRICK J. O'MARA REQUESTING
VACATION OF A PORTION OF THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON LOT ?l, TALL PINES
- ADOI~ED
Legal notice havlng been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 24 and October i, 2989, as evidenced by Affidavit of
Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to con-
sider Petition AV-89-018 filed by Patrick J. O'Mara requesting
vacation of a portion of the l0 foot drainage easement so Petitioner
can build across the easement.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that th~s
Petition is to consider a request to vacate a portion of the drainage
easement on Lot 71 of Tall Pines Subdivision located on the east side
of Airport Road, 1/2 mile north of Pine Ridge Road. He indicated that
the owner is requesting that a portion of the existing 10 foot ease-
ment be vacated. He stated that this was an open ditch and the owner
installed 2 drainage pipes within the easement. He stated that
Collier County no longer needs 20 feet of easement and the Petitioner
is asking that the County vacate 2-1/2 feet which would leave ? 1/2
feet on the Petitioner's lot line, and 10 feet on the northerly lot
line for continued drainage purposes. He stated that Staff installa-
tion of a storm drain system within the drainage easement does serve
the ~ublic purpose in providing a better system that will require less
maintenance on the part of the County long term. He indicated that
letters of no objection were received from ali pertinent utilities.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Archibald replied that the
County will remain authorized to control what is used and how it ks
maintained but in permitting the pipe to be installed the owner is
being obligated to share in the maintenance of that, which means that
2 entities will be responsible for the maintenance. In response to
Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald explained that as part of permitting
the installation of pipes, one requirement is that the Petit~oner
assumes a level of maintenance as well as installing the pipe.
Comm~ssioner Hasse moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan and
Page

carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Comisstoner Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasee and
carried unanimously, that Resolution 89-283 re Petition 89-018, be
adopted.

ORDINANCE 89-69 RE LETHAL YELLOWING - ADOPTED.
October 10, 1989
ORDINANCE 80-87 -
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 21, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an Ordinance
repealing the Collier County Lethal Yellowing Ordinance and replacing
it with a new Lethal Yellowing Ordinance.
Kevin O'Donnell, Public Services Administrator stated that the
current Ordinance is difficult to administer and requires inoculation
of ali coconut palms in the entire county. He explained that this
Ordinance will allow the County to set up geographic zones if the
outbreak of lethal yellowing occurs, quarantine the areas and inocu-
late the trees. He indicated that the Ordinance would allocate
$20,000 to cover expenditures of tree removal, i.e. survey of the
coconut palms, inoculation and removal of infected trees, and would
operate the same as Emergency Management.
John Begeman, County Horticultural Agent, passed out books (copy
uot provided to Clerk to the Board) to the Board of County
Commissioners and explained that the current Ordinance is unmanageable
and unwarranted because all the coconut trees in Collier County are to
be inoculated on a continuing basis. He noted that Collier County has
not had the disease since 1980, and inoculation of all coconut palms
because of lack of the disease is not warranted. He reported that Lee
County had a serious situation that occurred in February of ~987 when
several cases of lethal yellowing palms were detected on San Carlos
Island, the north side of Fort Myers Beach, and since that time the
disease has spread to include 300 plus coconut palms that are dead or
dying in a 3-1/2 square mile area. He noted that this area continues
to extend south from Fort Myers Beach and he fears that Collier County
will have the disease again with the most likely point of reinfection
being the northern part of the County. He explained that the new
Ordinance would not require inoculation of all coconut palms in
Page 12
October 10, 1989
Collier County on a continuing basis, but inoculation based on the
threat of lethal yellowing infection or the presence of the disease in
the County in certain geographical areas. He reported that the areas
of infection and the surrounding areas that require inoculation could
be zoned off to effectively seal off the disease. He pointed out that
if the lethal ye]lowing came to the County llne, the Ordinance could
be enacted in the north part of the county and those trees could be
inoculated to serve as a buffer for the trees in North Naples, and the
coconut palms farther south in Naples and Marco Island.
Mr. Begeman explained that the disease ~s similar to Dutch Elm
disease and blocks the flowum tissue that conducts sugars to produce
foods in the tree and starves the tree. He reported that the disease
is similar to a virus or bacteria and once it gets in the trunk and
flowum tissue, it clogs up those tissues in the trunk. Ne ~ndicated
that the disease is spread by a plant leafhopper, found in areas of
urban development, which feed on St. Augustine grass. He noted that
there had been no cases in Lee or Collier County prior to the
disease's start in the Fort Myers Beach area. He reported that an
Infected tree or sod wit}] leafhoppers infected with the lethal yellow
organism may have been brought over from the East Coast. He empha-
sized that the disease works rapidly, within 3 to 4 months from the
time the tree begins to show symptoms. He explained that this disease
started in the 1800's in Jamaica, Cuba and other Caribbean Islands
and spread to Key West in 1952 and to Coral Gables where it did most
of its destruction, i.e. Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. He
reported that a low estimate of trees destroyed number 200,000 coconut
palms and 70,000 Christmas palms; higher estimates number 500,000
coconut palms and 200,000 Christmas palms, and it devastated the
East Coast. He stated that the disease eliminated 90 to 95% of coco-
nut palms on the East Coast, and Collier County ]las been fortunate
because the cases which occurred in 1974 were held in check by the
quick action of the Board of County Commissioners. He explained that
an inoculation program was instituted and only 3 cases developed in
Page 13
October 10, I989
Naples, and after passage of the mandatory Lethal Yellowing
Inoculation Ordinance tn 1980, that was also stopped. He emphasized
that Collier County is the only place in the world that has success-
fully stopped infection of the lethal yellowing. Commissioner Hasse
indicated that it is a good idea to cooperate with Lee County and
questioned why it is recommended that the inoculation be eliminated in
a good portion of Collier County? Mr. Begeman replied that they are
unable to check all coconut palms in the County to see if they are
being inoculated. He explained that there are approximately 35,000
trees in. Collier County and having them all inoculated on a continuing
basis is overkill because at this time there are no cases of lethal
yellowing.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned ~f Lee County has taken strong
action to prevent further spreading of the lethal yellowing disease?
Mr. Begeman replied that they attempted to pass a mandatory inocula-
tion ordinance 2 years ago, which failed. He noted that the only
program instituted is replanting and educating and encouraging the
people to inoculate their trees.
Commissioner ihanahan commented that Lee County does not seem to
be concerned about stopping lethal yellowing or seeing that it does
not continue. He questioned inoculating after finding the trees
dise~,sed? Mr. Begeman indicated that the diseased trees will be
removed, but with antibiotic in3ections in the early stages, the
disease can be cured. He stated that he would like to go in and
remove the diseased trees and inoculate an area for at least a one
mile radius. Commissioner Saunders questioned the cost of ino-
culating one tree? Mr. Begeman replied the price ranges from $2.50 to
$7.00 per tree and inoculation is good for 4 months. In response to
Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Begeman ~ndicated that surveillance must be
constant, and at present, inspections are made by helicopters once
every 4 months. He stated that once a tree has initial infection, it
takes 3 or 4 months before the symptoms appear and can be seen. He
explained that ground surveys are being conducted, in addition to
Page 14
October 10, 1989
follow up of homeowners calling about their palm trees.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Begeman stated that they
have consulted with experts at the University of Florida, and they
concur with the new Ordinance. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr.
Begeman explained that the areas of inoculation can be lessened based
on the presence of the disease. In response to Commissioner Volpe,
Mr. O'Donnell replied that there are no funds appropriated and supple-
mental appropriations for an emergency would be sought from the Board
of County Commissioners. Mr. Begeman stated that the $20,000 would
pay for removal of infected trees and inoculation of trees that not in
compliance with the ordinance.
Commissioner Saunders pointed out that the issue is whether the
County wants to continue with the existing mandatory program or the
new program to establish zones for mandatory inoculation.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated that if an emergency occurs, the
County will have to inoculate and spend money. He commented that the
County has been doing a good job with what it had and questioned if
~he ordinance really needs to be amended? Mr. Begeman indicated that
he estimates that 60% of the palms are being inoculated while 40% are
susceptible and could be infected. He noted that to continue enfor-
cement on a 100% level is not warranted because of the current con-
ditions that exist in the County and by changing the ordinance, the
program can be better managed and the trees controlled that should be
inoculated.
Commissioner Goodntght commented that the $20,000 is strictly an
emergency fund, and pointed out that in 1980 when lethal yellowing was
discovered in Collier County, the disease was isolated and inoculated,
and a mandatory requirement was put into effect. She emphasized that
Mr. Begeman has been in Collier County for 5 years and is extremely
familiar with the disease and is one of the best horticultural agents
in the State.
A lengthy discussion followed about administrative costs for the
new Ordinance. Mr. O'Donnell explained that cost of monitoring since
Page
October 10, 1989
February of 1987 has been borne internally with the use of Staff time
and helicopter operations. He stated that on a 3 to 4 month basis,
the County monitors Lee County to see if the disease is encroaching on
Collier County.
Mr. Leonard Rena stated that he was up in Coral Gables when the
lethal yellowing outbreak occurred and encouraged the Board of County
Commissioners to be cautious as far as lessening any safeguards that
it has in effect. He emphasized that the area in Coral Gables was
totally annihilated and there ts nothing more ghastly than trees in
death throes. He encouraged the Board of County Commissioners to make
the public aware of their responsib~]ity as ~t will affect property
values and the ambiance of the area.
Couissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodntght
and ca~ried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight,
that the Lethal Yellowing Ordinance No. 80-8? be repealed and that the
Ordinance as numbered and titled below, be adopted and entered into
Ordinance Book No. 36.
Commissioner Hasse questioned how many trees were saved tn the
?O's by inoculating them after the fact? Mr. Begeman replfed that he
did not have the figures. Comm~ssioner Hasse commented that the
Collier County Lethal Yellowing Ordinance has been working well.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Begeman replied that there are
25,000 coconut palms in the City of Naples and 10,000 outsfde the
City.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried 3/2. (Commissioners
Hasse and Volpe opposed).

REQUIREMENT BETWEEN AN ESTABLISHMENT WHICH SELLS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
FOR CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES AND A CHURCH, SCHOOL, PUBLIC PARK OR
PLAYGROUND FOR PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS 5569 GOLDEN GATE PARKWAY -
ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 24, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
AW-89-1, requesting a waiver of 100 feet from the minimum separation
requirement of 500 feet between places serving alcoholic beverages and
schools, churches, playgrounds and parks, with a resulting required
minimum separation requirement of 400 feet for property located at
5569 Golden Gate Parkway.
Ron Nino, Planner, stated that the Petitioner seeks a reduction in
distance requirements between a place of business serving alcohol~.c
beverages and a church, school, park or playground. He noted that
this petition has to do with the S.W. Hunan Restaurant located in the
Santa Barbara Shops on the northeast corner of Santa Barbara Boulevard
and Colden Gate Parkway. He reported that Staff reviewed the petition
with respect to the new Ordinance amendment adopted several months ago
that requirements be established to Justify granting of a waiver. He
indicated that Staff has reviewed the petition, and concluded the con-
ditions were met for reducing the distance requirement. He reported
that the restaurant is 400 feet from the east side of Santa Barbara
Boulevard, a waiver of lO0 feet, however, if you were to take a portal
to portal measurement, there is a 500 foot separation. He noted that
the CCPC reviewed the application and unanimously recommended
approval. He reported that a petition was filed by the Golden Gate
Church of Christ in opposition to the petition. He stated that Staff
recommends approval of the petition.
Page 17
October 10, 1989
Leonard P. Reina, of Forsythe, Swalm and Brugger, P.A. repre-
senting the Petitioner pointed out that the Ordinance was changed for
this type of situation. He stated that there are 2 establishments in
the shopping center that sell alcohol; a package store and another
restaurant.
George P. Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
questioned if there is going to be an increase in parking requirements
if business ts increased due to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Commissioner Saunders pointed out that the number of parking spots is
determined by the number of seats in a restaurant and that will not
change.
Commissioner Hasse moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Coniasioner Hasse moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan and
carried unanimously, that Resolution 89-284 re Petition AW-89-1, be

management area, and additional acreage for the roadway. He noted
that Staff has reviewed the petition, and it is consistent with the
Growth Management Plan. He stated that one concern is that access to
the adjacent properties will be public and will afford access through
the project from properties to the north and south. He indicated that
the CCPC forwarded this Petition to the Board of County Commissioners
with a recommendation of approval.
Tape #2
Commissioner Volpe expressed concern that dead-end streets do not
contain cul-de-sacs. Mr. Weeks replied that Staff's position is that
the Board of County Commissioners should make a determination at ~ome
point in time when cul-de-sacs are no longer required. He pointed out
that the Fire Department can back up and get in and out of the area,
Page 19
October 10, I989
and barricades will be required at the end of the dead-end streets.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Weeks stated that there is no
criteria for cul-de-sacs. A discussion followed about dead-end
streets and cul-de-sacs.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, George Mellen of William Mcanly
and Associates, explained that the roads being discussed are short
sections that extend from the two major intersections to the sub-
divisio~;, and are lO0 feet in length from the intersection to the tem-
porary terminus of the pavement. He stated that the elongated
cul-de-sac extending to the west with a large cul-de-sac at the end is
Fire Department diameter sized and meets all their criteria. He
reported that the two short sections which are apparent at the inter-
section with the FDOT barricade has no exit and the driveway for the
corner lots to the north and south will be off from that. He noted
that emergency or public vehicles can make a wide turn and exit the
subdivision without difficulty.
Conisstoner Hasse moved, seconded by Commissioner GoodnLght ~nd
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commismioner Goodnight moved, seconded by Comm~ssioner Shanahan
and carried unanimously, that Resolution 89-285 re Pet~tton $HP-89-22
be adopted.

CONSU~TAITT$, INC. REPRESENTING I~,RINA SOUTH, INC. REQUESTING
SUBDIVISION MASTER PLAN APPROVAL FOR HARRINGTON SOUND LOCATED AT
INTERSECTION OF FERN STREET AND THOMASSON DRIVE - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on.
September 24, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
SMP-89-7, filed by Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc. representing
Marina South Inc., requesting Subdivision Master Plan approval for
Harrington Sound, located in Section 14, Township §0 South, Range 25
East.
Bob Lord, Planner, stated that Petition SMP-89-7, Is a request for
S,lbdivision Master Plan approval for 21 single family lots on 18 acres
of land zoned RMF-6 in Harrington Sound. He noted that Staff reviewed
the Petition and found the Subdivision Master Plan in compliance with
the Subdivision Regulations and has no objection to the Petition sub-
Ject to stipulations contained in the Agreement Sheet. He explained
that the proposed Lighthouse Lane Road which runs north and south set-
.ricing the proposed lots on either side will have a connection to the
north with Windstar Boulevard and a south entrance on Thomasson Drive.
He reported that the proposed project is an isolated project, well
buffered on the west and north by Windstar Golf Course and on the east
by a lake. He stated that residential property is east and south of
the property and the subject site has been in use as residential and
is substantially altered from its original state. He noted that the
CCPC reviewed the req~est on September 21, 1989, and forwarded it to
the Board of County Commissioners with a unanimous recommendation of
approval, subject to staff stipulations. He indicated that no
correspondence has been received and there was no public comment for
or against the request. He reported that the density and type of land
use is consistent with the Growth Management Plan. He explained that
this morning the Petitioner asked if it is possible to add one lot at
the entrance off Thomasson Road revising Eagle Acres subdiv~alon eli-
Page 21
October 10, I989
minating 2 lots, 7 and 8 and adding i lot to the proposed subdivision.
He indicated that Staff has no objection to that and noted that it
would probably enhance the subdivision. County Attorney Cu¥1er
replied that since it was not part of the advertisement, and he cannot
entertain that change at this time.
Stan Chrzanowskt with Coastal Eng~neering stated that the
Petitioner still intends building a 2! unit subdivision, but the owner
purchased two other parcels which he pointed out on the displayed
maps. He noted that the Petitioner wanted clarification to add the
parcel without coming back to the Board of Oounty Oommissioners in
S months for another Subdivision Master Plan Approval. Gommissioner
Saunders suggested that the Board of County Commlsstoners consider the
original petition of 21 lots and work with Staff on any major changes.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and

RESOLUTION 89-287 RE PETITION V-89-12, FRANK FITAPELLI REQUESTING A 13
FOOT VARIANCE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6528 TRAIL BOULEVARD PINE RIDGE
SUBDIFISION - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 24, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition V-89-12
filed by Frank Fitapelli requesting a 13 foot variance from the
required sideyard setback of 30 feet to 17 feet to permit an existing
garage to be converted into a guest house in a RSF-1 zone for Lot 35,
Block C, Pine Ridge ~ubdivision.
Ray Bellows, Planner, pointed out the location of the subject pro-
perty on the the displayed diagram. He stated that it ~s on the east
side of U.S. 41 and 270 feet north of Ridge Drive. He indicated that
the variance of 13 ~eet from the required 30 feet to 17 feet is to
allow the conversion of the garage to a guest house. He explained
that at the time of construction in 1961, the garage and dwelling con-
formed with the original R-1 setbacks, but in 1982 the County rezoned
the area to RSF-1 requiring a 30 foot side setback. He reported that
%he Petitioner purchased the property in June, 1989, with the intent
to convert the garage to a guest house and was not aware of the set-
back requirement. He stated that there are no additions to the
extel, lot and the existing setback of 17 feet will not be affected. He
noted that there is 27 feet between the property line and the struc-
ture is well screened with vegetation. He indicated that one letter
of objection was received. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr.
Bellows stated that the concern was that the windows in the structure
would overlook the pool and backyard of the owner next door.
Frank Fltapelli passed out photos and papers to the Board of
County Commissioners (provided to Clerk to the Board). He indicated
that the photos show the natural buffers that exist, the property ts
not in a direct line with the owner next door, and he has 27 signed
letters of support from neighbors in the immediate area. He stated
that he did not have the paperwork and pictures for the CGPG, but
Page 23
October 10, 1989
referred to them and explained the layout of the buildings as
depicted. He stated that the outside of the structure will not change
at all, and pointed out the heavy vegetation. He reported that the
garage has electrical service, but nothing else. He explained that
the interior will be converted to a guest house for his sister, and it
will not be rented. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Bellows
replied that guest homes are permitted in the Pine Ridge Subdivision.
Co~isstoner Goodnight moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders
and carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Goodnight moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan
that Resolution 89-287, re Petition V-89-12, be adopted.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Bellows replied that the
use will change, not the exlsttng structure.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously.

CO~D T0,OCTO~ I~ ~989
Frank Brutt, Community Development Adminis~rator, explained that
an individual nas the right to appeal to the Board of County
Commissioners for a hearinG on the assessment of a l~en which was
approved in September, ]989. He stated that the violation was ]den-
tified tn June, certified letters were sent with second notices g~ven
tn July and August. He ~ndicated that the lot was mowed and the
Pet~tioner was charged $45.00. He reported that the o~er was billed
in Au~st for $45.00 plus administrative costs and the Petitioner has
pet~tioned the Board of County Comm~ssionems as to hls feel~nG that he
should not pay the charges fo~ mowing and administrat~on fees.
In response to Comm~ssioner Vo]pe, Mr. Brutt replied that the
mowing took place on August 5, ~987. Attorney Cuyler explained that
the subject of the hearing is not whether the mowing was appropriate,
but the expenses and charges and whether or not they are excessiv~
~nwarranted and should not constitute a lien against the property.
pointed out that the administrative costs were authorized by the Board
of County Commissioners to go beyond $75.00.
Francisco Gonzalez stated that ~n 1987 he received a letter that
he had to cut the grass on his lot. He lndlcated that he informed the
County by telephone tha~ he and his neighbor were going to cut the
grass, and asked fo~ an extension of time. He stated that he then
received a letter requesting payment of $75.00 for mowing of the lot.
He reported that when he went to the lot, another lot was cleaned and
part of h~s lot. He stated that he called the County again and
requested an inspector come to see the lot. He indicated that he
waited one month and nothing happened. He repo~ted that he and h~s
neighbor cut the grass and he then z'ecelved the letter tn September.
In response to Commfsstone~ Saunde~s, Mr. Brutt stated that the v~ola-
t~on existed in June, 1987, July 30 and Au~st 5, 1987.
Commissioner Saunders stated that Staff safd the co~ect lot was cut.
Page 25
October 10, 1989
Commissioner Saunders questioned if Mr. Gonza]ez' neighbor who helped
him clear the lot could be contacted? Mr. Gonzalez stated that he
could. In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr, Gonzalez replied that
he would pay for part of the lot being mowed, Commissioner Saunders
requested that the neighbor be contacted and the matter be continued
for one week.

CONCRETE BATCH PLANT IN TOWNSHIP 48 SOUTH, RANGE 26 EAST, SECTION 25,
OWNED BY HARPER BROTHERS AND REPRESENTED BY WILSON, MILLER, BARTON,
SOLL, AND PEEK, INC. ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT
PLAN - UPHELD
Bob Blanchard, Comprehensive Planning Manager, stated that this
item deals with an appeal of the Growth ManaGement Plan interpretation
issued on September 9, 1989. He explained that the interpretation
deals with the application of criteria in the Growth Management Plan
for the Rural Industrial District located in the Future Land Use
Element. He reported that earlier this year, the party requesting the
interpretation was denied a petition for rezone to locate an asphalt
~lant in Naples Production Park, one of the areas on the Growth
Management Plan designated for industrial uses. He noted that the
denial was based on compatibility questions and concerns with
surrounding land uses that exist in the park and the residential area
to the east. He explained that at the same time the Board of County
Commissioners denied this, it recommended that the applicant try to
locate a parcel of property where it could deal successfully with com-
patibility issues. He reported that in attempting to locate a site,
they selected a site that is the sub3ect of this interpretation. He
pointed out on the displayed map the location of the property which is
one mile east of C.R. 951, directly south of Immokalee Road, across
from the Mule Pen Quarry. He explained that prior to proceeding with
another Petition for a rezone, the applicant's representative con-
tacted the Planning Staff to determine how the Growth Management Plan
would affect this particular site, and Staff responded that the cfi-
Page 26
October 10, 1989
terta appears to be met, but there were still some questions about
compatibility and groundwater studies that would be needed based on
the potential future location of a wellfteld north of Immokalee Road.
He stated that after a letter was received and a series of additional
staff meetings were held, the Petitioner decided to request a formal
Interpretation tn order to verify the prior Staff position. He
reported that Staff's formal Interpretation was initiated under the
basis that any rezone petition must be consistent with the Growth
Management Plan, and in this instance, the criteria tn the rural
industrial district Is being looked at. He stated that this district
primarily states that industrial uses must be limited to designated
areas, and tn the rural area of the County th,~:e is only one
designated area which Is the Ford Test Track located east of Golden
Gate Estates north of Highway 84.
Mr. Blanchard Indicated that the district further recognizes that
it may be appropriate to locate some additional industrial uses out-
side industrial parks as long as certain criteria are met. He
reported that the plan spells out the following criteria: 1) the
?mzone must be tn the form of a PUD, 2) the project must have direct
access to an arterial roadway, 3) the proposed site must not be spot
industrial and must be located adjacent to either lands designated as
industrial or lands already zoned Industrial, 4) the proposed land use
must be compatible with adjacent land uses and 5) the necessary
Infrastructure, including an Internal road network and central water
and sewer, must be provided or already in place. He explained that 3
of these criteria can be met tn this instance. He pointed out that
the property is located next to Immokalee Road, which is designated as
minor arterial, and development approval can be submitted in the form
of an industrial PUD and as the parcel is developed, if it ts
approved, the necessary infrastructures can be provided. He reported
that 2 criteria are inconsistent with the plan. He noted that the plan
states that the property must be adjacent to existing land that is
either designated industrial or is zoned industrial, and tn this par-
Page 27
October 10, 1989
ticular instance, the surrounding property on the north, east and
south is all designated agricultural rural. He stated that the
property to the west is designated urban and all of the surrounding
property is zoned A-2, rural agricultural. He Indicated that the com-
patibility test has not been met, and he pointed out on the displayed
map the areas designated agricultural rural. He explained that the
intent of the agricultural rural designation is to encourage agri-
cultural activities and provide the opportunity for a rural lifestyle
with a residential density of ! home per § acres. He pointed out the
Mule Pen quarry to the north, an industrial type use, noting it is
separated from this particular property by Immokalee Road and when the
quarry is depleted, is will be redeveloped consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan that is in effect. He noted that in this case 2
sections of the quarry property are designated agricultural rural and
that would be developed as residential or whatever uses are permitted.
He explained that other parts of the quarry are within the urban
designated area, noting that one section is in an activity center at
the intersection of Immokalee Road and C. R. 951. He stated that the
property to the west is designated urban which has the potential for
residential development at a range of 4 to ~6 units per acre. He
explained that Staff has determined that this industrial use is not
appropriate in this location. He stated that Staff recommends that
the Board of County Commissioners deny this appeal.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Blanchard replied that
industrial districts within the urban area are not appropriate and
that is what prompted the applicant to go to the outskirts of the
urban area. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Blanchard replied
that the County has 21 or 12 excavation sites and industrial uses
could be determined to be consistent with the plan if they were adja-
cent to any of those sites. A discussion followed about spot zoning.
Commissioner Volpe commented that the Board of County Commissioners
could end up rezoning a 10 acre parcel which would then be considered
spot zoning.
Page 28
October lO, 1989
Alan Reynolds, of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll& Peek, Inc.
stated that the size of this parcel Is 10 acres, and the purpose of
the appeal ts to have a determination under the Growth Management Plan
made regarding industrial uses within the rural area. He provided a
description of the location of the property on the displayed map. He
provided a memorandum of a chronology of events (copy provided to
Clerk to the Board). He explained that on April 6, 1988, Harper
Brothers contacted Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soil & Peek, Inc. to assist
in obtaining provisional use approval for a piece of property that
they had contracted to purchase in the Naples Industrial Park, and
Wilson, Miller, Barton, Solla Peek, Inc. had a series of discussions
with staff, negotiated and resolved the issues with respect to com-
patibility, and the zoning application was processed through the
County's review. He noted that the CCPC recommended approval and on
February 14, 1989 there was substantial opposition from residents of
the park to the intended use citing problems with compatibility and
environmental concerns and as a result of the opposition, the Board of
County Commissioners recommended denial and gave the Petitioner direc-
~ion to identify a site on the fringe of the urban area that would be
tn proximity to the mining operations that currently occur tn the
eastern part of the County. He reported that Harper Brothers searched
for a piece of property to meet the criteria of the Comprehensive Plan
and the direction of the Board of County Commissioners and on March 8,
1989 a site was found. He explained that a meeting was held with Ken
Baginski, CharlIe Gauthier and Bill Lorenz and the issues related to
whether or not the 5 tests of the Growth Management Plan were met, and
whether or not there was a valid groundwater protection Issue for this
site in its relationship to the future county wellfteld that will be
located north of Immokalee Road. He reported that subsequent meetings
with Bill Lorenz and County Staff addressing the wellf~eld ~ssue were
held and upon mutual agreement, an extensive computer modeling of that
wellfield was completed last month. He explained that the results
indicated that the site fell well outside the 2 year travel time zone
Page 29
October 10. 1989
and ts between ? and 9 years of travel time away from that wellfteld.
Mr. Reynolds indicated that Petitioner had addressed the ground-
water Issue to the County's eattefactton. He stated that on Aprt! 25,
1989 a letter was received from Charlie Gauthier, Comprehensive
Planning Manager, containing an interpretation of the Growth
Management Plan indicating that the § criteria could be met, subject
to demonstrating the permitting activities that occurred at the Mule
Pen quarry, and identifying that wellfield protection would be an
issue. He reported that, on the basis of that and other studies,
Harper Brothers closed on the property, completed the groundwater
study and initiated the rezoning process. He stated that on August
10, 1989 at a pre-application meeting with County Staff, Bob Blanchard
suggested that the Petitioner refile for a formal interpretation of
the Growth Management Plan. He noted the request was filed in
September, and Staff reversed Its prior position and found that the
site was not consistent with the Plan.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Reynolds explained the
two points: specific language regarding ad]acancy to zoned or
~esiguated use and a compatibility test. He reported that the com-
patibility issue must be evaluated with respect to the Growth
Management P/an and be site specific relative to the size of the site,
buffel'ing, adjacent lan~ uses, etc. Mr. Reynolds emphasized that the
Petitioner has met the test of the Growth Management Plan and the
direction that the Board of County Commissioners gave with respect to
finding a site. He stated that if the Board of County Commissioners
upholds Staff's interpretation, the only other site that has a remote
chance of qualifying is east of C. R. 951 on South Tamiamt Trail adja-
cent to the Krehling facility, more than twice the distance of this
site from the source of material that will be used. He indicated that
he does not feel that it was the intention of the Growth Management
Plan to take the very strict and narrow interpretation of the language
in question. He explained that it does not say deei~nated industrial
on the Future Land Use map, it Just says designated, and there is
Page 30
October 10, 1989
flexibility in the language based on the specific case.
Commissioner Saundere questioned County Attorney Cuyler if the
Board of County Commissioners agrees with Staff's interpretation in
the April 25, 1989 letter that agrees with the Petitioner, should a
rezone request be filed and reviewed by the Board, and further
questioned if action this date would be binding on the Board of County
Commissioners in the review of that procedure? Attorney Cuyler
replied that the compatibility issues are inter-related to some
extent, and the Board of County Commissioners could find it was com-
patible for purposes of this finding under the Comprehensive Plan
issue and not find that it ts compatible under further review from the
zoning perspective. He stated it should put on the record that the
Board of County Commissioners is not making the finding compatible.
Mr. Reynolds stated that he did not see how, based on this first exa-
mination, the final determination of compatibility could be made until
a rezoning request has been reviewed. He explained that the
Petitioner has to demonstrate compatibility with surrounding land u~es
and show an adequately sized site that can provide proper buffering,
~etback, and location of the facility. He pointed out that the
nearest residence to the site is 1/2 mile away and the closest use is
the Mule Pen quarry operation, and a commercial nursery located on the
corner of Immokalee Road and C.R. 9Sl.
Commissioner Saunders commented that the issue is whether or not
the Board of County Commissioners is going to permit the rezone peti-
tion to be filed or determine if it is incompatible which means that
no rezone petition would be filed. Commies~oner Volpe commented that
a general interpretation is being sought of the Future ~and Uae
Element of the Growth Management Plan. He reported that the Board of
County Commissioners is to determine the appropriateness of industrial
uses in the rural areas.
Mr. Reynolds stated that a number of excavation sites exist in
Collier County, but tests that have to be met: 1) location outside of
the urban area, 2} s~te adjacent to one of those uses and S) direct
Page 31
October 10, 1989
access to an arterial road. He stated that the only two locations
that meet the criteria are Immokalee Road and East U.S. 41; 1-75 and
the Ford Test Track will not provide direct access to the roadway. A
discussion followed about expanding boundaries and existing industrial
districts.
Commissioner Hasse commented that the site is adjacent to
AcreMaker Road which has several single family homes. He indicated
that he does not believe homes to the southeast are a full 1/2 mile
from the site, and this operation ts not beneficial to any residential
area. Mr. Reynolds stated that this language was Intended to be more
broadly interpreted than Mr. Blanchard ts now Interpreting lt. He
believed the similarity of use can be the basis of the Board of County
Commissioners' Interpretation. Commissioner Volps commented that tf
this Industrial interpretation ia allowed on this l0 acre parcel, that
creates a domino effect. Mr. Reynolds disagreed, and stated that the
Petitioner ts reclvesting a specific interpretation to this particular
site only. Commissioner Volpe commented that all the property
fronting on Immokalee Road across from the Mule Pen quarry would fit
khe same criteria that the Board of County Commissioners ts being
asked to establish for this 10 acre parcel, and the whole site will
become Industrial. Mr. Reynolds stated that for zoning of industrial
to take place the general test of the land use plan must be met, and
that site would have to come tn during the rezoning process and
demonstrate all of the tests, i.e. compatibility, access, buffering,
etc. A discussion followed about needs for industrial land.
Mr. George F. Keller, President Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that making a general Interpretation of land use for one speci-
fic piece of property ts not correct, and this ts the first step to a
rezone. He pointed out that a site ts available on East'4! next to
the Krahltng Plant which ts zoned industrial. He emphasized that
changing the interpretation of the Land Use Plan for one specific
piece of property should be not be done, and it ts the responsibility
of the Board of County Commissioners to decide zoning, not the respon-
Page 32
October 10, 1989
stbtlity of Staff. He stated that the Land Uae plan should stand by
itself and the Board of County Commissioners should not make & deci-
sion to change the interpretation of it for one item. Commissioner
Hasse concurred. He emphasized that once the Growth Management Plan
ts deviated from, a great number of areas will want to move forward
the same way. He emphasized that the Growth Management Plan should
control the growth that Collier County is experiencing.
Commissioner Goodntght commented that she has a problem with the
location and going out of the urban area to allocate more industrial
property. She stated that she does not want to stop Harper Brothers
from coming to Collier County, but the County should not allow more
Industrial areas to be formed outside the urban boundary lines.
Commissioner Ruse ~oved. seconded by Co~alastoner Volpe that the
appeal be denied and the Growth Management Plan interpretation be
mpproved as prepared.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Blanchard indicated that
this type of use would be consistent with the zoning of the Airport at
Immokalee which is an area designated for Industrial uses.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that his concern is the favorable
opinion offered previously and the Board of County Commissioners
directed that a location be found for an asphalt plant in Collier
County, and he stated That he would like to make a decision for Harper
Brothers and the Growth Management Plan, but cannot. He emphasized
that Staff speaks for the Board of County Commissioners and interprets
right and wrong on its behalf.
Upon cmll for the question, the ~otion passed 3/2. (Co~isltone~
S~ ~z~ maunders opposed).
In response to Commissioner Goodnight, Mr. Blanchard pointed out
that the Growth Management Plan obligates Staff to prepare an
Industrial land use study that will be presented to the Board tn 1991.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that Harper Brothers will not want to
wait until 1991, and she would like some recommendation from Staff
about future applications for asphalt plants in Collier County. A
Page 33
October 10, 1989
lengthy discussion followed about industrial site uses tn Collier
County. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Blanchard replied that
Staff ia tr~ing to iron out whether or not the interpretat~on is a
planned policy, or is a determination of consistency with the Growth
Management Plan. He stated that in this case he feels that it ts a
determination of consistency with the Plan, but due to the fact that
there Is no appeal process to Staff's consistency determination, ~t
evolved into an interpretation. A discussion followed about heavier
Industrial uses relating to the Growth Management Plan, and where
asphalt plants should be located. Commissioner Goodnight stated that
she made a mistake tn voting to take the project out of an ~ndustrta!
park and put it into a rural t%rpe setting, and she would like Staff to
bring back recommendations on industrial parks, agricultura! role
setting and criteria for each specific use of asphalt p/ants.

Transportation Services Administrator Arch/bald stated that this
is an agreement with the developers of Lely Square for access to the
East Naples Library site. He explained that the County has a library
built on a parcel donated by the developers, and the original plan
called for access from U.S. 41 in the immediate vicinity of their
frontage. He reported that there was conflict with permitting of the
access point on to U.S. 41, and in consideration of possible access
off Saint Andrews, Staff and the developer have prepared an agreement
to relocate the access point, centralize it for the benefit of the
commercial buildings and provide more room for parking and access to
the library site. He indicated that there had been discussions
addressing the fair share cost of the access Improvement, which Is not
only for a westbound right hand turn lane Into that area, but also
includes an eastbound left turn lane and median opening at a cost of
$?0,000. He stated that Staff determined how the cost would be shared
between the developer and the County and that was done based on traf-
Page 34
October 10, 1989
flc data. He reported that the report dons by local consultants
showing the traffic analysis at butldout between the library and the
commercial development ts included In the executive summary. He
reported that a sharing ratio of 30~/?0~ is outlined with the County
paying 30~ of the cost of the improvement, and the developer paying
70~. He explained that the cost includes the cost of construction and
design of the improvement. He pointed out that based on the fact that
the access point ts relocated, the developer will Incur the added
expense of redesigning and re-permitting that entrance way. He noted
that one of the requirements the County discussed with the developers
was to establish a cap of $21,OOO which was tn one of the initial
agreements making the County's share 30~ or an amount not to exceed
$21,000. He explained that the developer did not want to expose him-
self to any additional changes relative to the Improvements within the
rights of way of U.S.41 and has already experienced substantial
changes of cost as a result of the turn lane having to be redesigned
for a travel speed of 7 miles per hour and incurred cost for redesign,
proper radius and acceleration lanes aa you exit the location. He
emphasized that the developer wished to stick with 30%/?0~, and Staff
has no objection to revising the agreement, as long as control over
the contract exists to allow Staff to be part of the approval process
of any change tn that construction project. He explained that Staff
ts recommending the agreement as proposed with two provisions: 1) for
the sharing of the cost, and 2) the county would play the role tn
assuring that his construction contract of $55,000 would not be
changed without county approval.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Archibald stated that
instead of constructing a 30 foot radius exiting on to U.S. 41, the
State has required an acceleration lane. Mr. Archibald reported that
the traffic report indicates the amount of expected traffic between

Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Archibald replied that the 2 changes to the
contract are the removal of the $21,000 cap and in paragraph 3, the

County's role in monitoring and allowing changes to the existing
contract. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Archibald stated
that in paragraph 3 a sentence should be added that reads: "The County
shall have Joint review and approval authorization of any and all
construction contract changes involving the cost of roadway access
improvements.

APPROVED. STAF~ TO WO1REWITH TOPEKA AND DELTONA TO STUDY MANATEZ ROAD
SIT~ AND ENGINEERING CONSULTANT"S TO MAKE PRESENTATIONS
Mike Arnold, Ut/l/t/es Administrator stated that this item c/ar/-
lies action taken by the Board of County Commissioners on August 29,
1989 and modifies some of the recommendations adopted by the Board.
He explained that the Marco Island Water Feasibility Study presented
went Into the related water Issues as they pertained to the mainland.
He explained that the Board of County Commissioners should focus their
attentlon on the four key questions necessar~ to proceed with plans
for a second water plant and additional long term water supply for
Collier County. He reported that some of the changes are not provided
for tn the Utilities budget. He emphasized that the presentation
today ts focused on cost savings with a revision to the water plan and
wellfteld plan scenario. He Indicated that the steps to be taken for
long term water sources for Collier County, including Marco Island,
reiterate the previous action for use of the Lower Salins Aquifer as a
water source tn the future. He stated that Staff recommends entering
into the process of soliciting hydrologic engineers to evaluate the
sources and do a Joint study on the Manatee site. He reported that
savings of $150,000 may be accomplished by a Joint study. In response
to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Arnold replied that Topeka ts doing a study
required by the South Florida Water Management District. He noted
that if a plant is built sometime in the future, it would probably be
tn the Manatee Road site and would serve Marco Island as well as
picking up demand from the South County area.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Arnold reported that
on one occasion Topeka ~ndtcated that they would be ~nterested ~n
cost sharing. Mr. Arnold stated that some of the water quality and RO
studies Topeka is conducting may not yield what Topeka previously
thought.
Commissioner Volpe commented that something needs to be done soon
Page 38
October 10, 1989
regarding future water supplies on Marco Island and questioned if this
will help. Mr. Arnold replied that this Is the first step to find a
water source for Marco Island, the yield, and how the water will be
treated.
Mr. Arnold stated that questions 2, 3 and 4 go hand in hand; what
water source should be utilized for the County's proposed second
wellfteld; what water source should be utilized for the County's pro-
posed second water treatment plant and what location ts best suited
for the site of the County's proposed second water treatment plant.
He described the location of the second wellfleld on the displayed
diagram on Immokalee Road near the ~ule Pen quarry and noted that the
source of water was identified as being able to serve long term needs
in Collier County. He reported that this has been Identified as a
water table source with a potential yield of 50 million gallons per
day, but since that time, circumstances have changed. He reported
that requirements for protecting the wetlands have become more
stringent; treatment and regulations from the Federal Government are
more stringent in relation to organics, and other problems. He
~xplained that consideration of the Lower Tamtamt Aquifer ia the next
level, the same source tapped in the Golden Gate Estates area. He
stated that some projections run from 50 to 70 million gallons per day
for this aquifer, and noted that the County currently draws 13 million
gallons per day, while the City of Naples draws 26 million gallons per
day. He stated that there are many problems associated with the Mule
Pen areal i.e. environmental, construction of major lines, road and
cost factors etc.
Mr. Arnold stated that Staff's recommendation is that the County
go with the membrane softening type plant as it will lend best to
future needs and capitalizes a saline source. He pointed out the
site proposed for the plant 2 miles south of Immokalee Road, east
of C.R. 951 and Vanderbllt Road, and reported that the property is
zoned A-2, with land available there. He stated that this site ties
in with the north County transmission main put in last year and eltmt-
Page 39
October 10, 1989
nates 4 miles of 36 inch pipe. He reported that one of the advantages
to the membrane softening process is that it is easily expandable and
can be done quickly. He noted that the plant site is less obt~usive
and utilizes and maximizes the raw water coming in. He reported that
the reject water comes out towards higher chloride counts, and rather
than waste that water, it could be pumped back to the existing lime
softening plant and make that water treatable for re-use. He noted
that Staff's recommendation is to waive the selection process, utilize
the consultants the County has had on board in the past to move ahead
with permitting and investigation. Re recommended declaring an
emergency, waive the selection process and move ahead with Hole,
Montes & Associates and Missimer & Associates for technical
confirmation.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if there is a consensus to waive
the advertising requirements and continue working with the consultants
on board?
Commissioner Volpe questioned the change to the Master Plan and
how it ties in with the Master Planning being done, and who is pro-
viding water to Quail Creek? Mr. Arnold replied that the deviation is
the relocation from Immokalee Road to Vanderbilt Beach Road and C.R.
9§1, the implication to another portion of the Master Plan will be
beneficial and there will be a 4 to 5 million dollar savings by relo-
cating the plant. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Arnold
stated that North Naples utilities provides water to Quail Creek. A
lengthy discussion followed about pipe lines.
A discussion followed about acquiring the land for the site.
Commissioner Saunders asked for a consensus on the first part of
the plan to approve the amendment to the Master Plan and the recommen-
dation by Staff.
Co~issioner Shanahan ~oved, seconde~byColissione~ Goodnight
·nd ~%'Tlednnani~onsly, that Staff reco~endationm be accepted.
Commissioner Saunders pointed out that the cost sharing of Topeka
was skipped.

Mr. Arnold indicated that he would like to approach the City of
Naples about cost sharing in the Golden Gates estates wellfield.
Mr. Arnold indicated that last week the Board deferred to Staff to
make a selection from the consultants for the raw water booster sta-
tion which was a $400,000 project, but based on today's recommendation
this project would have to be upsized and could cost up to $1.5
million.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that this matter should be brought
back to the Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Haese con-
curred.
Mr. Arnold indicated that negotiations have been opened with the
consultants. He indicated that if the Board feels that this matter
should be brought back and finalized by the BOO, he will have the con-
~ultants make a presentation.
Commt~ton~r Shanahan moved, eeconded by Comaisstoner Hesse and
carrl~lunant~usly, that the raw water booster engtneertn~ p~-
tart=ns be brought beck to the Board at the ea~e time ae the etorm~
Commissioner Volpe questioned if this means that the Board will be
ranking the consultants on the raw water booster even though Staff
already decided on a consultant last week, to which County Manager
Dorrtll stated that both projects will be heard and ranked next week;
the raw water booster repump station and the storage tank.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he is asking for an opinion from
the County Attorney with regards to a Florida Statute that was men-
tioned by Finance Director Yonkosky as to the process that was used tn
the selection and he would like that opinion before next week. Mr.
Cuyler indicated that he would have this opinion by next week.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned the alternative schedule for lawn
Page 41
October 10, 1989
sprinkling on Marco Island? Mr. Arnold replied that Staff has been
working with the South Florida Water Management District for a revised
schedule and feels that they will go along with it. He indicated that
the next step of making the formal application ts being actively
pursued.
County Manager Dorrtll commented that he was contacted by offi-
cials in Volusia County to be an interested party because Volusta
County will move within the next 30 days to condemn and acquire all
Deltona and Topeka owned utilities. He stated that he has asked to be
apprised of the situation. In response to Commissioner Volpe, County
Attorney Cuyler indicated that his opinion of the process used tn
selection of the consultants according to the Florida Statutes will be
ready this week.

John Boldt, Water Management Director stated that during the 1983,
construction of I-?§, a stop log water level control structure was
Page 42
October 10, 1989
removed and not replaced, causing overdratnage In the area. He
explained that in the rezoning of the Vineyards, the developer was
required to design and bear the coat of conatructtng the replacement
structure, and the County planned to attach it to the north headwall
of the Pine Ridge box culverts. He Indicated that those plans have
been completed by the developer and the permits have all been
obtained, except from the Florida Department of Transportation. He
explained that attaching the structure to the headwall puts it Just
inside the so-called limited access right-of-way involving the Federal
Highway Administration. He reported that the County has had a number
of meetings with FDOT and was not successful in obtaining a permit
from the Highway Department. He ~ndtcated that the County Attorney
advised that the County cannot pursue condemnation, as it does not
have that Jurisdictional authority. He noted that the County feela
the DOTts decision was unreasonable, but the proposed structure,s
location will have to be moved and made a free standing structure away
from the box culvert out of the limited access highway. He stated
that tn order to do so, a new site selectIon, soil borings, field sur-
veys and substantial revisions to the engineering plans will be
required. He reported that the County will have to re-submit an
application for the right-of-way. He stated that the developer ha~
sh~ a good faith effort and It is not his fault that DOT refused to
allow the County to put the structure where it belongs. He explained
that part of the additlonal engineering cost of removing the struc-
ture, and cost of making the structure free standing should be borne
by the County. He stated that the developer's engineer has submitted
a proposal for $12,000 to engineer the relocated structure, and esti-
mates a free standing structure will cost an additional $20,000 to
$30,000. He lndlcated that Staff recommends the Board of County
Commissioners authorize Staff to prepare an agreement with The
Vineyards to obtain modifications and permits, and to redesign and
construct the new structure at its new location and upon comp/etlon,
the County would reimburse the developer a lump sum amount of $3?,000.
Page 43
October lO, 1989
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Hr. Boldt replied that Staff
thought the local Fort ~ere people from FDOT were convinced, but
because it involves the Federal highway there are strtct rules that do
not allow structures within a limited access highway.
County Hanager Dorrlll questioned if there ~s an Appeal of a
Denial off an Admin~stratlve Permit? Hr. Bold~ replied ~No~ ~o his
kn~ledge~. Cosmissloner Saunders stated that ~r. Archibald has also
Indicated no. County ~anager Dorr~ll suggested giving h~m a weeh ~o
e~lore a be~er solution.

~es~ioned how the County can know ~he cos~ ~f ~t does not b~d ~he

ne~.rlng cost of $12,000 and the estimate ~s $~0,000 ~o $30,000 and
Bold~ s~a~ed ~ha~ he reco~ended a f~xed su~ off $37,000. Nr. G~les
pointed out that the construction project ~s not being competitively
bid.
Commissioner Saunders suggested ~ha~ Nr. Dorr~ll and Nr. Giles
~ee~, d~scuss the matter and repor~ back ~o ~he Board off County
Co~ssioners In one week.
CountF Manager ~orrill explained that there are men~ pro~rams,
emploFees and budgets that support the CountF and Circuit Courts, and
Page 44
October 10, 1989
there have been probleme relating to who has been administratively
responsible to the Court system. He reported that individual Judges
and/or the Court Administrator would provide administrative respon-
sibility to approve various documents of the budget personnel and
purchasing nature. He stated that a new County Administrative Judge
has been appointed by the new Circuit Administrative Judge, and a line
of authority within the Court administration to provide supervision
over the employees of the Court Is being established. He noted that
the appropriate responsibility for those employees and budgets rests
with the Chief Administrative Judge who can determine and set those
priorities under the direction of the Chief Circuit Judge for the
TWentieth Judicial Ctrcutt In Fort ~yers. He Indicated that he ham
reviewed Mr. Giles' concern with County Attorney Cuyler who indicated
that the appropriate mechanism would be to give division administrator
status to the County Chief Judge and after he has signed off person-
nel, budgeting and purchasing matters, the County Manager could exer-
cise and maintain the Agency Manager status. He explained that the
County would like to give the Chief Judge of the County Court division
administrative designation for those purposes.

Stan Lttstnger, Growth Management Director, stated that Staff
recommends approval of the emergency amendment process provided for in
Chapter 163 in accordance with the executed Stipulated Settlement
Agreement with the Department of Community Affairs. He explained that
the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners executed the
Stipulated Settlement Agreement on September S which was subsequently
executed by the DCA on September 14, 1989. He reported that an
Page 45
October 10, 1989
emergency process is recommended because of the potential effect on
public funds of not amending the plan in an expeditious matter, and
the second standard amendment process is recommended to be reserved
for the potential need for Staff or Board ~nttiated amendments before
the end of the calendar year. He stated that amendments must receive
a unanimous vote for approval by the Board of County Commissioners
under the emergency management process. Ne noted that the current
schedule would call for the Planning Commission to hold a public
hearing on November 2, and the Board to hold a public hearing on
November ?, 1989. He explained that w~th the amendments through this
emergency process to reflect remedia! actions appearing in the
Stipulated Settlement Agreement, the plan would be in full compliance
with all applicable Florida Statutes, and Administrative Codes and
would result in dismissal of proceedings before the Division of
Administrative Hearings. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr.
Litsinger replied that 4 votes are required to amend the Comprehensive
Plan tn its normal course. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr.
Lltsinger replied that other amendments cannot be added to the process
if they are not directly related. Mr. Lttsinger stated that the only
potent/a/ staff initiated amendment by the year's end may be the
Golden Gate Master Plan. Ne reported that if the second amendment
process were used to amend the Plan for the stipulated agreement, the
County would not be able to begin the second process until after
January 10, 1990.

Item ~'9H3
~ATIOM OF 1989/1990 STRATEGIC GO,tLS AND OBJ'BCTIV'~S - ~
County Manager Dorrill indicated that Staff talked to the Board
about Identifying strategic objectives and goals for the coming year.
He explained that the County would like to publish and include, as
Page 46
October 10, 1989
part of the County Commission's adopted budget, about 24 key result
areas, many of which awe identified specific proposals tn the County's
Comprehensive Plan. He noted that the key result areas and specific
objectives and performance dates for Staff have been identified.
Commissioner Saunders questioned the recommendation that the document
be Included in the Board's adopted budget? County Manager Dorrtll
explained that the tentative budget and the final budget are both
printed, but when the final budget is adopted, changes are made and
is made available to the public, and this document should be indexed
within. In response to Commissioner Volpe's question about goa/ 1,
Mr. Dorrlll stated that tn campaigns in the past, the County Attorney
has indicated that there are strict procedures that must be fo/lowed
and anything of a promotional nature is not allowed. He explained
that they will be information distribution type items, and anyone who
campaigns will have to do that outside of the purview of the Board.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that the Chairman of the County
Commission of Sarasota made 85 presentations in support of and for
public education during their one cent sales tax program, and noted
that every Board that has gotten the one cent sales tax campaigned
vigorously.
In response to Commissioner Volpems question about goal 2, strategic
ob~ectives number 5, Mr. Dorrill replied that it would be any projects
identified In the 5 year CIE element, i.e. three community center
buildings, parks, expansion of the main central library, and others.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dorrill indicated that there
may be a typographical error regarding the objective date of 1991.
Commissioner Saunders asked that Mr. Dorrtll make the correction.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dorrill replied that the
Increase of major road design projects from 9 to 24 tn 1990 has been
done and noted that secondary roads and traffic signals are included.

sonal injury attorneys, attorneys for the County's self tnsur~ce
program etc. from members of the legal bar association as counsel.
Mr. Don Thompson, Collier County Bar Association, indicated that
he was making himself available and Indicated that Mr. Dawson, who

Commissioner Hasse emphasized that it ts time the Board of County
Co~isstoners moved forward on this Issue. He explained that the
projected revenue of a tourist t~ rate of 1~ yield ts $1,364,220 ~d
the tourist t~ rate of 2X would give the County $2,728,440. He
stated that Collier Cowry would have a substantial amount of money to
go towards beach renourtahment and other things.
Co~tssfoner Saundera reported that a month ago the Board of
Co'unty Co~tssloners directed Staff to come back with a reco~endatton
on the potential bed t~ after the Tourist Developmen~ ~o~ctl repor~
was accepted. He indicated that Staff should be prepared to tell the
Board how much money Is available and what t~e of plan could be
implemented with these funds. Couisstoner Hasae co~ented that his
estimates are accurate and he would like to move fo~ard on this
issue. Co=tssioner Goodntght ~esttoned if the tax ts used for beach
renourtshment does the fibre Include Marco Island? She pointed out

Coutssioner Hasse emphasized that he would like County Attorney
Cu¥1er to advise how the Board of County Commissioners can go forward
in the matter of requiring a 4/Sths vote on all provisional uses in
the County. In response to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney
Cuyler indicated that he will coordinate with the Zoning Department
regarding the necessary procedures. Commissioner Saunders requested
that County Attorney Cuyler report on the procedures that the Board
will have to follow and provide a schedule as to when it will be
brought back to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.
George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation, stated
that provisional use ts becoming a real problem in the Estates area
and places where property can be bought at a more reasonable cost. He
pointed out that Provisional Use was originally set up to take care of
the safety and welfare of the people in a particular area, and since
property is more reasonable in the Estates and the East Trail area,
many provisional uses are being brought in from people who do not live
there. He stated that there are 18 churches In Golden Gate City and
Golden gate Estates, a good percentage of which are from people who do
;~ot live tn that area. He reported that provisional use is a rezone
and it hurts individual people who are working people and do not have
the time to protest. He urged the Board of County Commissioners to
chancle the law making a 4/5the vote required for provisional uses.
