the Clark, public hearing was openad to considar an Ordinance amending
Ordinanca 82-2, the Zoning Regulations, by amanding Saction 7.7 "RO"
racraation and opan spaca district.
Planner Bryan Milk stated that Petition ZO-89-22 raquests an
amendment by adding provisional use "p" child care centers. Ha
explained that this distrlct is designed to apply to areas which pro-
vide natural or man made recreation and other open space lands and
facilities that provide public or special group recreation, education,
entertainment and relaxation. Ha noted that such lands and facilities
may be provided through public, private, commercial or special group
sponsorship. He indicated that within the Collier County Zoning
Ordinance 82-2, child care centers are allowed as provisional uses
within A-2, RMF-12, RMF-16 and C-4 zoning districts and allowed as a
permitted use within the C-2 and C-3 zoning districts. He explained
that based upon criteria contained in Section 13.1d of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Planning Staff can determine the appropriataness of
child care centers on a case-by-case review as a provisional uss on a
given parcel of land with any recreation and open space district and
recommend approval. He noted that the CCPC held a public hasting
September ?, 1989 and forwarded Petition Z0-89-22 to the Board of
Zoning Appeals with a recommendation of approval by a vote of 8/0.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Planner Milk indicated that of
tha ~§ "RO" and Open Space districts, the majority are public, i.e.
County park facilities, private, i.e. gun range, sportsman's parks,
and scattered throughout most of the county. Commissionar Volpe
stated that a child care center is incompatible with boat ramps,
public swimming pools, marinas and boat ramps, ampitheatre, shooting
range, racetrack, miniature golf, driving range, archery range, water
ski Jumps, zoo, and sea aquariums. Mr. Milk rasponded that Staff would
like to add it as a provisional use and Staff could look at the com-
patibility and appropriateness for a particular area within tha RO
district, such as a park. Commissioner Saunders explained that in this
particular district, Collier County would be able to consider a child
Page 4
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
care facility as a provisional use and it would come to the Board of
County Commissioners for a decision as to whether it would be com-
patible with surrounding uses. Commissioner Volpe expressed concern
about putting child care centers in the Recreation and Open Space
districts. In responses to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Milk explained that
the need for this request is public support for child care centers in
an "RO" district. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Milk indi-
cated that child care facilities are permitted uses within C-2 and C-3
zoning districts. Commissioner Saunders indicated that part of the
problem with child care facilit~es is that they are required in com-
mercial areas that are e:~pensive, or the surroundings are not
necessarily compatible with child care facilities, and that is part of
the motivation to open up areas for child care.
Assistant to the County Manager Olltff explained that a site in
Immokalee is zoned "RO", which was built by a private non-profit
Kiwanis group, and could be used for a child care center and would
make a good accompanying use to the park site. He explained that it
is a small park, located in a residential type area and the Zoning
Ordinance does not allow for a child care center there. He reported
that Staff is trying to al/ow for that small opportunity when a pri-
vate park facility or some "RO" district requests use for a child care
center, and Staff can then bring it to the Board of County
Commissioners for consideration. Commissioner Volpe commented that
the Zoning Director has discretion for any other recreational use and
this is not an area appropriate for a child care center. Mr. Olliff
pointed out that the Board of County Commissioners can restrict those
types of uses. A discussion followed about child care centers and
private parks.
Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that this Ordinance will create a lot of problems because pro-
visional use has been badly mismanaged. He pointed out that
Commissioner Volpe's suggestion that a 4 to 1 vote be required on pro-
visional use, the same as a rezone, will save a lot of headaches. He
Page 5
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
emphasized that it should be placed on the Agenda within the next 2
weeks. Commissioner Hesse concurred.
Mr. Jack Silk, Immokalee Child Care Center, stated that a non-
profit or~anization runs the child care center with approximately 120
children of migrant farm workers. He indicated that the children are
fed Ina school type operation that has been on County property for 25
years. He noted that members of the community donate their time and
efforts to the child care center and they asked Co~lssioner Goodnight
for her help. He explained that the present location is in a poor
neighborhood, but that is where the children come from and At is an
easy facility for the parents to drop off their children. He noted
that the park is adequate, and he would like to expand the operation
on the park grounds.
Commissioner Volpe asked if there ]s another way to approach this
issue and address it7 Planning Services Manager Ken Baginski stated
this Ordinance will allow for community uses and centers, such as
facilities for children after school, the Y.M.C.A. and overall on a
case by case basis, through prov~sionsl use, determinations could be
made if It is a compatible and acceptable use.
County Attorney Cuylcr indicated that there is no way to address
a specific situation; it has to be appropriately zoned for that use.
He explained that something such as a Y.M.C.A. is recreation, but with
adults using the pool, it is In the ne%ute of an accessory use to
recreation. In response to Commissioner Vo]pe, Attorney Cuyler
pointed out that the type of facility, such as the Y.M.C.A., can be
allowed in recreation open space. Commissioner Goodnight reported
that the Board of County Co~missioners has the right to vote on each
issue, and the County needs to be consistent and not take one child
care center in Immokalee and work with that. She explained that the
County ID 1982 zoned it "RO" and the child care center has been there
for 25 yes, rs.
Commissioner Hesse expressed concern abou% bringing commercialism
to every park and community center. Commissioner Saunders noted that
Page 5
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
the child care Is located on County property and that ts the Issue.
Mr. Oeorge Keller suggested that the County deed the land to the
child care center. Commissioner Goodntght commented that the County
has a lease with them and they have the appropriate Insurance.
Co~mtmaloner Shmnahan moved, seconded by Commissioner
and carried unanimously, that the public hearing b~ clo~ed.
Co-missioner Goodnt. ght ~ov~d, seconded by Comaisstoner Sh~n~h~n
that Ntltt~n IO-89-11 ~ndlng Section ?.? 'RO' Recratton and Open
Sp~cs Otstrlct, b.3, p~r~ttted provisional uses and structures by
adding provtstal use 'p' -Chtld Care Centers be adopted.
Commissioner Saunders noted that the definition of "RO" district Is
"This district ts designed to apply to areas which provide natural or
man made recreation and other open space lands and facilities which
provtde public or special group recreation, education, entertainment
and relaxation. Such lands and facilities may be provided through
public, private or commercial or special group sponsorship."
Co~mlseloner Saunders commented that child care facilities, though
co~erclal, would be more compatible with those types of facilities
than with facilities and locations in commercial districts. He noted
that the Comprehensive Plan has been changed to eliminate commercial
areas that are not at major intersections and child care facilities
will, In the future, be located on major intersections. Commissioner
¥olpe co,anted that Inconsistencies exist with that type of
enterprts~ in a ~ecreatton and open space area.

PLAN - ADOPTED. RESOLUTION 89-276A CREATING SALES TAX ADVISORY
COMMITTEE - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 7, ]989 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication fi/ed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an ordinance
amending Collier County Ordinance 89-05 enacting and establishing s
Growth Management Plan for Collier County, Florida.
Stan Lttstnger, Growth Management Director, stated that this is
the public hearing for the Board of County Commissioners to review and
adopt the CIE update of the Collier County Growth Management
Plan. He noted that Chapter 163 Fla. Statutes requires an annual
update process for the Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Mana-
gement Plan, and the CIE ts the basis for programming capital projects
to meet the adopted level of service standards in the Growth Manage-
ment Plan for quality livable communttl, environment. He indicated
that public facilities are identified as well as the cost and the
sources of revenue that will be used to fund those revenues which will
be required during the next 5 years. He stated that eliminating
existing deficiencies and providing adequate public facilities is the
No. i goal of the CIE. He noted that the CIE update contains
$276,000,000 in projects to maintain n. tnimum levels of service
requirements and concurrency. He reported that it is proposed to fund
this CIE with 13 revenue sources; most significantly is the proposed
7th cent sales tax surcharge; increased impact fees for roads are
addressed, and he noted that 22% of the funding of the CIE is from
impact fees. He pointed out that the State road improvements in the
County's CIE ave included for the first time in order to maintain
minimum levels of service as adopted by the County on State road
segments to meet concurrency requirements. He indicated that Staff
recommends approval of the Ordinance.
Jeff Perry, Chief Transportation Planner, explained that the State
Highway Road System is included in this year's CIE update because of
the absence of sufficient State funding in the State's work program to
Peg~ 8
build necessary tnf:rastructure within the time frame necessary to
maintain concurrency, He Indicated that the State suggested minimum
standards to be set bV local Jurisdictions for the State highway
system, and the obligation to maintain the levels of service has
become the County's obitgatton. He reported that there ere three
options available to Collier County: I) lower the level of service
standard and live with more congestion, or 2) raise revenues to build
Improvements to maintain the appropriate level of service, or 3) stop
development in areas Impacting roadways to keep the level of service
at the same. He explained that lowering the level of service ts not
recognized by local Jurisdictions and the State has said that the
County can Justify lowering the level of service, but not paying for
the roads ts not Justification according to DCA and the only option
left ts to stop or delay building permits In those particular areas.
He passed out e handout (copy not provided to Clerk to the Board) of
a smaller version of the map displayed. He explained and pointed out
the areas of significant influence on the displayed map. He noted
that when the levels of service adopted tn the plan fall below the
acceptable level an area of significant influence around the affected
segment of highway ts created. He explained that the areas are broken
up into four different areas: 1} North Naples, 2) East and South
Nap.les, 3) East Naples, Golden Gate Area and, 4) Marco Island. lie
reported that roads highlighted tn black are projected State highway
deflclencle~l within the § year period tn the event the Board of County
Commissioners chooses not to include them in the CIE. He pointed out
the State road~ that are projected to exceed the adopted levels of
service for which there ts no ~tate funding available. He noted that
vested rights and the likelihood that an off the top allocation of
capacity has to be given to the DRI's, complicate the problem. He
stated that most DRI's have to pay their particular share of the road-
way, and can obtain their necessary building permits and continue
development, but other developers cannot develop until the road is
physically improved, either by the County or the State. Contseloner
Page 9
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
Htsse co~ented that that ts growth paying for growth.
In response to Com,aissioner Shanahan, Mr. Perry stated that the
formula for determining the capacity, impact and what percentage their
cost of making improvements translates into a portion of the cost to
build that new segment.
Mr. Perry showed on the d/splayed map the far reaching effects of
the State roads on development in the area. He emphasized that the
North Naples area Impact extendR beyond the City of Nap/es. He
reported that 19~ of the traffic using the roadway comes from outside
the urban area. He explained that traffic continues to grow because
of an increase in the people coming from out of the county. In response
to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Perry said that Lee County has the same
problem and Collier County will be seeking interlocal agreements with
the City of Naples and Lee County if we find substantial traffic
coming from those areas, and Collier County will ask them to stop
Issuing Development Orders.
Mr. Perry stated that as an example, the majority of traffic on
Radio Road occurs by development around that segment, but he also
found 6 or ?~ of the traffic crossing the Gordon River Bridge comes
from Marco Isl~.nd, using the Bast Trail. He emphasized that the State
roads have a far reaching effect on the growth potent/a/. A
discussion followed about the lack of State fumdtng. In response to
Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Perry replied that other counties are looking
at funding roads themselves, i.e. Lee County.
Coutssloner Shanahan commented that most every county in the
State has Petitioned the Governor to increase the gas tax by 10 cents
and send § cents back to the county, and asked for increases in
vehicle registration, licensing, rental cars etc. to generate monies
to accommodate the road situation.
County Manager Dorrtll questioned that at some point in the next 5
years the City of Naples could not Issue any non vested Development
Orders because of 2 roads outside the City limits that fall below
level of service standards, compared to someone at the County having a
vacant lot at the Naples Bath and Tennis Club off Airport Road, who
could not obtain a building permit due to a deficient State road three
miles away. In reply to County Manager Dorrlll, Mr. Perry responded
in the affirmative. He pointed out the area in blue, including the
City of Naples, that sccount~, for 60% of all the traffic that uses
that road. Ne noted that ne,xt year the Board of County Commissioners
will have to decide at what point and where they want to draw the line
to stop issuing building permits. He reported that Staff is trying to
show the Board of County Commissioners and will show during a formal
analysis of these areas, what percentages of the traffic come from the
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Perry replied that the
Gordon River Bridge segment to Davis Boulevard is not listed in the
CIE. He indicated that if the sales tax goes through and the Cou31ty
uses their portion for State roads in the unincorporated area, he
hopes that the City of Naa, les will use their portion to fund that. A
discussion followed about building permits in the areas surrounding
the Gordon River Bridge. A discussion followed about the City of
Naples and the traffic It attracts.
County Manager Dorrtll reported that the County cannot affect
level of service on State roads, but can affect the zones of influence
within new areas for construction that are contributing to further
degradation of the State road's ability to carry cars.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned zone influence? Mr. Perry
replied that examples are cited tn the Growth Management Plan as to
how thls system would work. He noted that the Citizens Advisory
Couittee of the Growth Management Committee would not recommend spm-
ctflc adoption or creation of any zones of influence 2 years ago, and
the zones could have different shapes each year.
Commissioner Goodntght questioned DRI's vested rights and building
permits being issued if they have paid up front regardless of whether
or not the State builds the road to that standard7 Mr. Perry replied
that if some statutory exemption is granted to DRI development, the
Page
Development Order stipulates what sort of vesting the developer has,
i.e. Pelican Bay has agreed to pay one portion of the roadway, but
has also agreed not to allow commercial development in a portion of
their project until the roadway is approved. He reported that there
are DRI's with vested status that are not subject to concurrency mana-
gement limitations imposed on non DRI's. Commissioner Goodntght com-
mented that Secretary Pelham said DRI's have vested rights and Collier
County cannot stop Issuing building permits, regardless of the levels
of service. In response, to Commissioner Goodnight, Mr. Perry stated
that it is the County's choice as to where the improvement goes.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the flyover on U.S. 41 in North
Naples redirecting traffic to other roads, i.e. Airport, Pine Ridge
Road? Mr. Perry replied that when one improvement is created, you
create another problem downstream in the network. Ne explained that
until the network is completed, temporary Interim problems will arise.
He reported that the County tries to look at the whole network as an
entire system, and there will be continuing adjustment and readjust-
ment to update the situation. Commissioner Volpe commented that is
called managl~:g growth.

Growth Management Director Litsinger provided a copy of hie memo
to Chairman Saunders, dated September 22, 1989, summarizing the con-
cerns and recommendations of the Collier County Planning Commission,
Mr. William Tracy, Vice-Chairman of the Collier County Planning
Commission stated that he has been a resident of Collier County for 36
years. He noted that the existing Capital Improvement Element (CIE)
had a deficit of $66 million, and the revised Element, 9 months later
has a deficit of almost $85 million which represents a 27~ increase tn
deficit spending. He indicated that in the original budget, 42~ of
the one mill ad valorem tax was allocated to the Capital Improvement
Element, and in the revision, the allocation is 20~. He noted that
both Elements tnclvde a $7 mill/on Regional Park Bond issue which
reduced that deficit, and now the County is faced with a 101~ increase
in Capital deficit in 9 months. He indicated that the "wish list"
provided by Staff were the items to be funded from the 1 mill ad
valorem tax, and included approximately $42 million in Capital
Improvements, or 60% of the ! mill. He explained that originally, the
CCPC recommended to the Board, that 80% be funded toward the Capital
Improvements, however, this was not done.
Mr. Tracy offered the following solutions: there is a $64 million
deficit, and if $38 million for State roads is removed, the~e will be
a deficit of $26 million, noting that 38.5% of the 1 mill will wipe
out the deficit; or, the $64 million deficit can be reduced by funding
§0% of the ! mill which will leave a deficit of $30 million, and if
Staff can reduce the other $42 million to $12 million, the State roads
could be f~ded and the budget could be balanced, and the proposed
cent sales tax would not be needed.
Mr. George Keller indicated that in the past, the general practice
of government was that the Federal Government supported the State
Government, the State Government helped support the County Government,
but no%~ that entire philosophy has changed, and everyone is broke. He
noted that many things are mandated at the top level that are to be
provided and paid for at the local level, and the whole process is
ridiculous; and, the State has plenty of options to raise additional
money, i.e. increase gas taxes, income taxes, etc. He stated that he
does not believe that the County should take over any responsibility
for State roads in order to maintain the Levels of Service; when
Collier County is built out, there will be no roads that will not be
impacted. He noted that he has no objection to the sales tax referen-
dum.
Commissioner Volpe called attention to Mr. Tracy's remarks
regarding the 101~ increase in deficit in 9 months, and questioned
P~g~ 13
whether there are additional projects that were not included last
year? Mr. Lttslnger replied that one option which stands out Is the
fact that State roads have been added, and based on the computer
model, there are additional needs for County roads. He explained that
last year there was a 6th year CIE which totaled $67 million for
roads, and currently there is a 5 year plan, totaling $117 mill/on.
He indicated that the primary projects which were not considered 9
months ago, are: increases in cost estimates for the County Road
Program, plus additional projects; 6 new proposed projects on the
State road list; Parks which ts attributable to bicycle trail
construction (this is included In the Parks inventory, but funded
through the Roads Program).
Mr. Litsinger reported that since the original CIE was presented
tn August, Staff has Identified the fact that there has been double
counting in the area of government buildings which are funded by ad
valorem: the new Courthouse and the new Health Building have been
Incorrectly identified as additional costs. He noted that the CIE
identifies only needed new appropriations, therefore, the budget shows
carry-forward dollars.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Lltatnger explained that when
a revenue source is considered over a period of time covered by the
CIE, all projected revenues must be Identified, including those that
are needed to fund the CIE. He stated that in this case, there is 4
1/4 years of collection of a potential 1¢ sales tax, and over that
period of time, an estimated 8128 million will be cullected, and of
those monies, $64 million is required to meet the needs of the plan,
and the other $63 million is available for other County needs.
T~pe~
Assistant County Manager McLemore stated that the Commission had
directed Staff to come back with another alternative relating to the
issue of the 7th cent sales tax. He noted that the basic findings of
an analysis of the sales tax referendum which had taken place in the
State indicated that: there have been 18 successful referendums, with
Pag,~ 14
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
an average voter approval rate of 66.2~; §0% of the referenduma that
have passed, took place in 1989; 85.8~ of the 18 successful referen-
dums Included the full 1¢ sales tax; 11.2% included 1/2¢; ~he term of
approval of the successful referendum was 72.2% for the full 15 year
period. He advised that 16 of the project similarities included
Jails, or 89%; 50% had solid waste disposal facilities, including one
incineration facility; 50% included governmental buildings; 38.9~
included roads. He noted that the analysis indicated that w&ter/sew~r
utilities had the largest voter approval over any other project type
Use.
Mr. McLemore advised that the key factors of input that have been
received are: people felt the referendums were successful because of
their association with their Growth Management Plans; also stated was
the unpopularity of the property tax alternative as a means for
financing the Growth Management Plan; and the provision that the sales
tax referendum include a provision for a finite period of time, I.e.,
the full 15 year pex. tod. He noted that it was also reported that in
most cases, the conventional and political wisdom was that these
referendums would not pass.
Commissioner Volpe stated that In his mind, he would like to
Justify the need for the additional revenues as they relate to the
Growth Management Plan, but he has not yet seen the Justification.
He noted that Mr. Tracy advised that he has a proposal to balance the
CIE without the additional sales tax, and questioned whether this has
been considered7 Mr. McLemore replied that Staff has given the
Commission alternative plans to be considered, but they will be happy
to look at any other proposals that anyone desires to present.
Mr. McLemore explained that all of the concerns that have been
raised by this Commission, w~re previously raised by the people of
Leon County, but they wanted their roads f~xed, and they recommended
through an Agreement with the DOT that any expenditures that were used
for State roads will be credited for later projects. He noted that
Collier County Staff is suggesting the same type of recomumendation.
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
Mr. McLemore advised that from the input received, he doss not
believe that the total package will be passed by the Legislature in
the immediate future, and if it is, there will be a 820 million def~.-
cltin th~ first five year program for State roads, and $5 million
for local roads.
Regarding the question of how Justification can be made to
spending sales tax revenue on State roads, Mr. McLemors replied that
the Legislature passed the Bill to build infrastructure for local com-
munities, and in order to meet those needs, a revenue means is pro-
vided to deal with this: The one cent sales tax.
Mr. McLemore indicated that there is a precedence for schools
being addressed by the 1¢ Sales Tax Referendum, and the Inclusion of
the schools will result in a $170 million program to meet their
building deficits. He reported that on April 28, 1972, Collier County
voters voted 72.2% in favor of approving a $12,600,000 general obliga-
tion bond to construct new and improved schools. He advised that
Staff has been informed by the School Board, that unless the new
Capltal Improvement Program ts implemented by the schools, Collier
County students will again be faced with double sessions in the very
near future.
Mr. McLemore stated that in terms of equity, property taxes are
inherently inequitable, and if the reliance for governmental needs
are plac~d on alternative revenues sources, i.e. sales taxes, this is
a fairer approach.
Mr. McLemore called attention to the three Plan Alternatives.
He explained that Plan #1 is basically what was presented in the
Tentative Budget, and lists CIE and Non-CIE uses for the monies that
will be involved in the one cent three year effort.
Mr. McLemore advised that Plan #3 (the second plan) is the basic
implementation of the total Growth Management Plan which provides for
a number of Non-CIE projects, and commits only sales tax monies to the
State and local programs which show up as deficits after the 10¢ State
program ts tn place. He noted that it holds in reserves sufficient
Pag~ 16
revenues to construct those projects, If that program ts not put in
place. He indicated that this is the full lC for five years.
Mr. McLemore stated that Plan #4 is the plan which was submitted
to the Conmtsston a few weeks ago, with reserves of $46 mil/ion. Ne
stated that on a sales tax supportive program, at least 20~ will be
held in reserves. Ne noted that after all of the projects were
listed, the projects that were left over, were shown as reserve,
adding that in his opinion, the reserve is inadequate. Ne explained
that when this plan was presented, it was so done as a conceptual plan
in getting started, and provides full funding for the local and state
road programs, the Growth Management Plan, and a number of Non-CIE
alternatives for a full ten year period, including the option for
schools.
In answer to Commissioner Shanahan~ Mr. McLemore advised that six
different alternatives have been worked up, noting that the three
Plans as presented today, are those that Staff decided to present to
the Commission for consideration.
In answer ~o Commissioner Volpe, Mr. McLemore stated that if the
sales tax is adopted, a detailed financial plan will need to be worked
out, and the requirements will then be known. Ne noted that at the
end of the period that is given to use the sales tax to build the
infrastructure, pay-as-you-go financing will then take place, thereby,
minlmizin~ the consumption of public dollars.
Commissioner Volpe called attention to the fact that 80~ will be
dedicated to Non-CIE Pro3ects, and questioned who is going to say that
these monies will be spent on those items, and when will there be a
chance to say it7 Mr. McLemore advised that the Commission was pre-
sented with a § Year Non-Capital Improvements List, but there ia not a
formal Non-CIE authorization program in place, noting that he feels
that there should be.
Commissioner Vo/pe stated that there are things that are mandated
by the State, and questioned the specifics of same7 Mr. McLemore
indicated that the projects that are listed as Non-CIE pro3ects, are
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
those that are required under the Growth Management Act.
Mr. McLemore explained that because of the concerns and dile~uaas
regarding the sales tax issue, he does not believe that further
accomplishments can be reached, without the assistance of an advisory
committee. He stated that Staff is requesting that the Commission
approve the creation of an advisory committee to come back with a
program which reviews all of the projects, and makes recommendations
on same.
Com~tssioner Shanahan mentioned that Staff will be working with
the blue ribbon committee and interfacing, etc. in an attempt to
design a package that will satisfy the Commission as beat as is
humanly possible.
Commissioner Saunders stated that he had originally voted against
the concept of a committee a couple of weeks ago, but tied to that,
was the acceptance of Plan #4, which was the $445 million. He indi-
cated that if Staff's recommendation is to establish a committee to
look at the 1¢ Local Option Sales Tax, and in what form it should be
presented, he does support that.
County Manager Dorrill advised that his recommendation, is Just
that, noting that he believes that the marching order of the committee
should be Plan #1. He indicated that as stated by Mr. Perry's presen-
tation, this community will have serious problems if the State road
system is not improved. He stated that the Commission has a one month
reprieve to see whether or not the 10¢ gas tax will be received. He
reported that Collier County is like the other 19 counties, in that,
it needs to build a jail, more money is needed for local roads, there
seems to be a compelling interest in this community for a beach
renourlshment project, and the only other project that is in the
minimum list is a parking garage. He suggested that the Commission
take the minimum list, and if it is felt that it will enhance the
voters opportunity to have a different perspective, create an advisory
committe, and keep the wild card in there for State roads.
Mr. Dorrill explained that there are two general type elections
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
next year, and in the event that a referendum is to be held in
February, a committee should be impaneled now in order to have their
recommendation by November, and at the same time, Supervisor of
Elections Morgan's pre-clearance requirements will need to be met.
Commissioner Saunders questioned which structure, in terms of the
committee, Is being recommended by Mr. Dorrlll7 County Manager
Dorrlll stated that he Is recommending the same structure that was
laid out previously: § appointments from the Commission; 2 appoint-
ment by the City of Naples; 1 appointment by Everglades City; and 2
appointments from the School Board.
Commissioner Volpe stated if the blue ribbon committee ts being
discussed, and appointments from the School Board are being con-
sidered, he believes that the Commission is back to where they were 3
weeks ago.
County Manager Dorrlll indicated that if the committee feels that
they are compelled to tell the Commies/on what their /nteresta are
relatinG to State roads, which is his wild card, or local schools,
which may be someone else's wild card, he believes that they should be
heard, and not pre-Judged.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he has a problem with local govern-
ment ~esuaing an obligation for State roads.
Com~l=sloner Shanahan noted that the recommendation of the CCPC
puts strong covenants on anything that would be done in relationship
to State roads. He indicated that in his opinion, the Commission is
being asked to conceptualize the 1¢ sales tax, without any commitments
to the period of time, CIE projects, or Non-CIE projects, and the com-
mittee will be establishing a review for the Board's consideration.

~rs. Charlotte ~estman, representtn~ the Lea~e of Women Voters of

questioned ~hether ~he Sales Tax Plan ~htch was presented to the
Planntn9 Co~lsston Included the Non-CIE Projects7 ~r.
advised that the CCPC was presented the CIE Plan, and when the
question arose as to the possible allocation of the 80~ of the 1
over the 5 year period, they were presented a list of possible iden-
tified projects ~here the 80~ of the 1 2tll aay be spent.
Nra. ~estman indicated that the total project costs are $64
~lllton, and the CIE Items only total $41 21111on. ~he noted that the
CCPC had a problem ~tth the 5 year lC sales tax, ~hlch reflects reve-
nue in the amount of $160,000,000. ~r. Litsinser replied that the
collection cf the 1¢ sales tax over a total of 5 years ~htch ~ould
besln at so~e period in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, would
expand beyond the time frame covered by the CIE which ends on Octobe~
1, 1994. ~e noted that of the $160,000,000 ~hlch ~ould be collected
tn a total 5 year ttae frame, $128,000,000 would be collected durln~
the tt~e that the CIE Is effected.
Nra. ~estm~ advised that the Lea~e ts very Interested in
LeSlslattve Acts, etc., and thlnss that have to be approved by the
electorate. She explained that she believes that tn order for any
project to be successful in a referendum, ~ need must be eatabllshed;
there ~ust be a 9ood education process, and it should resatn outside
of the political realm.

same amount of money required as the 10 year plan. She stated that
the Leagu~ supports Staff and the Advisory groups as often as they
can, and they respect what the CCPC does. She explained that there is
sufficient evidence to proceed slowly, and to be careful about making
final decisions,
Commissioner Shanahan called attention to the fact that the
majority of the communities have expressed a high degree of acceptance
of the idea of sales tax, that the sales tax was a means of shifting
the reliance of government away from property taxes.

Commissioner Volpe indicated that he cannot support what Is being
proposed tn this amendment, because of a) State roads, b) a CIE
men~ showing a $?1,000,000 deficit, which Is the same as 9 months ago
with no new projects, c) the allocation of 20~ of the one mill capital
improvement levy on the CIE projects which was previously 40I, while
the CCPC recommended using 90~ of the one mill capital Improvement
levy, and d) relying on alternative sources of revenue that have
yet to come into existence. Commissioner Saunders Indicated that at
some point In time, projects will have to be eliminated from this pro-
Ject. He noted that changing levels of service, deleting projects or
imposing a moratorium wlll be forthcoming, and while he Is approving
the document, he is not approving the funding sources necessary for
this document. Commissioner Shanahan concurred. Commissioner
Saunders agreed with Commissioner Volpe that this is a numbers game,
and a conflict between what projects are being approved and what the
County Is willing or able to fund ts imminent.

Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
September 7, 1989 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed wlth
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an Ordinance amending
Ordinance 85-33.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that the County Attorney's
office prepared this amendment to Ordinance 85-33 tn response to the
hard work done by an organization called CURE, Collier United for
Rights and Equality. She explained that CURE did a lot of monitoring
of overgrown lots. She reported that the current ordinance allows for
demand for the owner to mow his lot, and if that fails Collier County
can clear the lot and charge the owner, place a lien on the property
and ultimately foreclose the lien. She emphasized that the ordinance
doe~ not cover lots and parcels of property tn Immokalee and Naples
Manor. 5he stated that CURE had concern because the overgrown lots
have been used by persons with criminal ~ntent to commit burglaries
and crimes against persons. She noted that the primary problem ts
that clearing of lots ts allowed tn recorded subdivisions, but not in
unrecorded subdivisions. She explained that the Golden Gate Estates
area is excluded from this ordinance. She pointed out that allowing
clearing of the lots to 20 feet Into the property from a public right-
of-way will alleviate the problem of someone walking on the sidewalk
of the public right-of-way and being attacked by someone on the piece
of property.
Attorney Wilson pointed out that there ts an incorz,ect description
on Page 3 under Section A and B. She explained that Code Compliance
Director should be changed to Compliance Services Manager or his
designee, tn both Sections A and B. She noted that a suggestion was
made that notice to the record owner, which allows 30 days notice to
correct the violation, be changed to 20 days. She explained thmt thls
Pag~ 23
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
change will occuz' In Section FOURTEEN A, FOURTEEN B, 'and on Page 4 in
the NOTICE provision. In response to Commissioner Sh~ahan, Attorney
Wilson reported that providing notice for the people to correct the
violation, contact a contractor to correct t]~e violation, takes s cer-
tain amount of days, and 20 days seemed appropriate.
Co~lssioner Shanahan took exception to the 20 days and requested
1§ days. Ne emphasized that the report is not made until growth
reaches 18 inches and by the time the process is completed, the area
is so overgrown it is difficult to mow. He indicated that the com-
munity would like 15 days or less. Commissioner Hasse concurred.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Attorney Wilson replied that
Golden Gate Estates was deleted in this Ordinance because there is a
wide variety of size of lots, type of lots and property has different
undergrowth. She noted that many people living in the Estates like
the kind of undergrowth they have and would not appreciate having it
cleared.
Attorney Wilson reported that lots with Brazilian Pepper plants
cannot be mowed with bushhoG equipment, they have to removed with a
chain saw. She recommended removal of the Brazilian Pepper plants
from the Ordinance on PaGe 2, Section ELEVEN B and C. She explained
that the County clears many lots, puts a lien on the property and
noted that staffing and enforcing the lien is time consuming and
expensive. She suGGested eliminating "mowable", which limits the
types of lots the County can clear and will allow fina~cial control to
be exercised over the types of lots the County will har~dle.
In response to Commissioner Hesse, Attorney Wt3. son explained that
money is not collected by ~'he County until the lien is foreclosed,
which is a lengthy process. A discussion followed about the procedure
for foreclosing liens.
Iaaih Birollo, President of CURE, stated that he is present to
support the proposed amendment to the ordinance. He noted that CURE
has been working for over a year to resolve the problem of overgrown
Pag~ 24
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
properties which have been the source of crime related problems. He
expressed appreciation of the work that has been done by County
Attorney Wilson and County Staff members. He Indicated that CURE has
asked Commissioner Saunders to assign one staff person to oversee the
cleanup process.
Dick Clark, Code Enforcement Supervisor, noted that the process is
not a deterrent. He emphasized that the administrative feeo are not
high enough because it is financially feasible for a lot o~wner to
allow his lots to grow to 18 inches or more. He stated that lots
should be mowed at least ~our times in the summer. Commissioner
Saunders questioned if the administrative fees could be changed? Mr.
Clark suggested a minimum of $75.00.
Coo~te~iooer Shanmhan m~ved, seconded b~ Com~i~ionez' ~ ~d
c~u"rt~d ~nl~usly, that th~ P~blic Heartng b~ clc~e~d.
In response to Commissioner ¥olpe, Attorney Wilson indicated that
the right-of-way property has to be declared by a resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners to be a public nuisance, but under
Section ELEVEN B on Page 2, easily defined and described lots can be
cleared. She explained that some property could run as large as 20
acres and Staff wanted the Board of County Commissioners apprised of
the problems and cost.
In response to Commissioner Hesse, Mr. Clark Indicated that
collection is less than 50%. He emphasized that the big problem is
staff time, and the County can only recover the amount of the lien.
Commissioner Hesse commented that removal of Brazilian Pepper
would be beneficial. Mr. Clark concurred and nck,~d that other plants
such as palmetto bushes cannot be mowed with ~ bushhog and this
ordinance should address that. He reported that Transl~ortation
Services Administrator Archibald has the authority from the Board of
County Commissioners and the Hendry Correctional Institute to provide
prisoners to clear some of the areas. He explained that if the
Amendment covers platted and non-platted subdivision lots, Staff will
have authority to clear the palmettos, etc.
Pa~e 25
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
Attorney Cuyler recommended that the time period of 30 days be
dropped to 20 days, rather than 1§, so that due procoes questions will
not arise. He noted that the situation can be monitored with Mr.
Clark and if there is too much of a time lag, Staff can come back to
the Board of County Commissioners.
A lengthy discussion followed about eliminating Brazilian Pepper
plants.
Mr. Clare indicated that Brazilian Pepper should be eliminated
from the ordinance becaus- Staff cannot stay on top of it, but he
indicated that the prisoners could, with equipment furnished by Mr.
Archibald, handle the situation. Attorney Wilson explained that a
quote from a contractor was received to clear a number of lots not
covered by this ordinance, and the CURE people have provided a list of
lots that are pr~orities to them in Immokalee and Naples Manor. She
reported that an anonymous benefactor is going to provide the County
with resources to clear the lots. She stated that the County will be
able to go through the full process due to the new ordinance, and can,
in the future, see if the problems have been corrected.

BLOCX e4f eO~ ~ATE UNIT 3 - ADOFTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 1D and l?, 1989 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication
filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
AV-89-16, requesting vacation of the six foot side easements on
27-29, Block 84, Golden Gate Unit 3.
Transportation Services Administrator Arch/bald stated that the
three lots are located one block south of Golden Gate Parkway axld
one block east of Tropicana Boulevard. He noted that the zoning is
RMF-12 and they are multi-family lots. He explained that the owner
wishes to build across the property lines of the 3 lots he has
purchased and has to vacate the side yard easements. Ne stated that
vacating the easements will give him the benefit of building across
property linea and increasing his density area. He noted that the
applicant made appropriate applications to all utilities, no letters
of opposition have been received and Staff re:ommenda approval of the
increase in density.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald rep/ted that
developing on a per lot basis is 2 units per lot, and combining 3 lots
allows enough square footage to construct two four-ple~ee.
Commissioner Hasse commented that Golden Gate is plagued
with duplexes owned by an individual who collects rent and allow8 them
to deteriorate.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald stated that Carl
Anderson is the owner and has a local Golden Gate address.

In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald replied that
Pa~e 27
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
parking in the front rather than the back is a result of the Zoning
Ordinance restricting the use of the alleyway as a pr.tlary access,
but consideration of that could be implemented from a site plan
review. Ne explained that access should be from a local street.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Archibald indicated that
changing the location of the parking to the rear would require the
owner to meet all front and rear yard setback requirements, which may
be difficult. Commissioner Hasse emphasized that he is tired of
seeing old beat up trucks and automobiles ~tored in the front yard
on the Golden Gate Parkway ~nd surrounding areas. Me indicated that
he would not support this Petition unless the owner explains exactly
what he is going to do. Mr. Archibald explained that If the owner
built on ~mch lot he would have 3 small buildings end 3 small parking
areas in ~he front, but his site plan shows 2 buildings fairly well
laid out on driveways for each building location.
Attorney Cuyler ~ndicated that there is a typographical error in
the middle of the Resolution which will be corrected; Naples Park
should be Golden Gate.

PORTION OF BLOCK "C", CRESCENT LAKE ESTATES - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 10 and 17, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication
filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
AV-89-007. Transport,.tion Services Administrator Archibald stated
that the petitioner seeks to vacate a portion of the drainage easement
on Block "C" of Crescent Lake Estates off Airport Road immediately to
the east of Victoria Park. He indicated that the tract in question
includes a large easement area for a retention lake, and the owner of
the property wishes to construct the building in such location as to
reconftgure the lake, vacate a segment of the existing drainage ease-
ment, and dedicate a new easement to Collier County that would allow
him to build on the remaining property. He explained that the
necessary submittals have been made, but noted that Staff requests
that a condition be added that the owner or Homeowner's Association
remain responsible to maintain the lake.
Mark Minor, of Q. Grady Minor & Associates, indicated that the
Homeowner's Association would act as maintenance entity !or the new
lake, and it is in the condominium documents and in the easement
grant. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Minor stated that the
Homeowner's Association of Crestview Condomlnium would maintain the
new lake. Commissioner Saunders suggested that the County Attorney
be provided sufficient evidence that the Homeowner's Association will
be obligated to maintain this easement, and the County Attorney s~gn
off on the necessary document.
Commissioner Volpe questioned why the vacation is needed and Mr.
Minor replied that there was never a site plan when the original ease-
ment was platted. He indicated that the site plan drawrl up did not
work with the location of the lake. A discussion followed about the
location of the lake. In response to Commissioner V¢)lpe, Mr. Minor
indicated that improvements have been made. Commissioner~ VoLpe

question~d what would happen if the Board of County Commissioners does
not approve the petition? Mr. Minor Indicated that It was stipulated
in the excavation permit that the lake would have to be restored.

Planner ~rFan Milk s~ated that ~he petitioner ~8 8eektn~ a
variance from the required side yard setback of 7.~ feet to .60 feet
on ~he northern 8ida yard a~ 904 Juntper Court. He no,ed that the
oubJec~ ~roper~y is zoned aHS-4 and allows sincle-fanily residences
with a pool as an accessory use, 2 side yards, one front and one rear
yard. ~e explained that the petitioners purchased the house on 3une
3, 1988 ~ithout the knowledge that ~he ~ouse di~ not meet the re~1red
side uard setback. ~e reported that the pool and house ~re
constructed by the prior o~er and a Certificate of 0ccup~cF was
lssue~ on October 15, 1979. He stated ~hat on :une ~, ~988, the
Collier County Code Enforcement ~oard received a complaint from a
neighbor re~ardin~ the setback violation. ~e indicated ~'hat the CCPC
reviewed this Petition and found that the setback variance ~8 re~1red
end necesser~ to n~e possible the reasonable use of land and the
structure. ~e stated that the CCPC on September 7, 1989,
the petition to ~he eoard of Coun~F Co~issioners with a reco~en-
daCion for approual by a vo~e of V/~. ~e noted that one letter of
support ~d one letter of opposition were received from adjacent pro-
pert~ o~ero.
~n response to Coutssioner ~asse's ~estion ~bout the pool
built at the same time as the house, Mr. Milk stated that the tile
was lost with the building permit, and the Certificate of Occup~cy
was issued December 15, 1979. He reported that the Collier Cowry T~
Appraiser went to the property on December 7, 1979, and app~oximate]y
a month and half later the pool and house were built.
Co~issioner Volpe co--anted that the zontnD complu~,t Indicates
Page 33

encroachment on the adjoining property owner's lot. Mr. Bryan replied
that the encroachment is ~ome landscaping and a sprinkler head.
Commissioner Volpe stated that that is a different problem than the
variance. Mr. Milk concurred. In response to Commissioner Haaae, Mr.
Milk replied that the sprinkler appears to encroach a couple of feet
on the neighbor to the north on Lot 2 with some landscaping around the
corner of the pool deck. Attorney Craig Woodward, representing the
Petitioner, reported that this is the first time he heard about the
sprinkler system being on the adjacent lot. He explained that the
adjacent lot owner who complained about the setback violation sold the
lot. Me indicated that if the sprinkler is encroaching on the adja-
cent lot, his client will remove the sprinkler head.
Mr. Maurlce Metcalf of the Marco Island Civic Association, stated
that MICA strongly recommends denial of the variance. He reported
that another violation is being excused, not corrected. He read a
memorandum dated September 26, 1989, to the Board of County
Commissioners, Collier County (Exhibit "A" on file tn office of Clerk
of the Board).
Attorney Woodward commented that the Marco Island
Association and their deed restrictions are enforceable by them, not
the Board of County Commissioners. He noted that all the criteria set
forth were addressed, Staff and the CCPC reviewed the criteria and
felt that the variance was Justified. He explained that approval from
all the utility companies was obtained for the encroachment into their
easement.
Attorney Woodward pointed out on the survey the corner of the
screen enclosure 100 feet from the road which is the encroachment.
Commissioner Hasse commented that if someone wants to build on the lot
next door, they would be on top of the pool. Attorney Wood.ward stated
that they have notice of the hearing and have not objected.
A discussion followed about the amount of the variance.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally Mews on
September 7, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an Ordinance amending
Collier County Ordinance No. 87-16.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that this Ordinance will
expand the coverage to include people not in a motor vehicle,
but standing in public or semi-public parking lots or beach access
areas. She noted that the Ordinance was amended to add appropriate
definitions with a different penalty provision. She noted that State
Statute Section 316.1636 amended and addressed the type of penalties
that should be imposed for possession of open containers of alcoholic
beverages in or on a vehicle by both a driver and passenger. She
explained that Collier County has a third penalty provision that
addresses the amended portion of the Ordinance covering the parking
lot areas.
In response to Commissioner Masse, Attorney Cuyler replied that
beach access areas are defined as parks, and alcoholic beverages are
not allowed in parks, but the County is not going out of its way to
enforce that. He emphasized that this is included for people who are
in and out of cars and drinking in that area. Commissioner Saundera
explained that definition "b" defines container as container or recep-
tacle of an alcoholic beverage and open container as a contain~ that
ls open.
A discussion followed about public and semi-public pa~,k%~ lots.
Attorney Cuyler reported that Clam Pass is a beach acce~ f~rea. In
response to Commissioner Saunders, Attorney Wilson l~,dlc'~¢ed that
semi-public is private ow~ership but allowed to be used for limited
public purposes.
Commissioner Goodnight explained that the problem in a number of
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
areas, i.e. on the beach, beer parties have been held in parking lots,
and property owners have to clean up the garbage left behind. She
reported that in the packing house on Highway 29 in Immokalee,
commercial and/or private parking lot owners are also cleaning up gar-
bage from beer parties. She stated that this Ordinance would address
automobiles sitting in public or semi-private parking lots consuming
alcoholic beverages and discarding their garbage. Deputy Storrar
stated that situations such as these also occur In convenience lots,
and would give the Sheriff another tool to work with in that
situation.

August 27, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication f led with
the Clerk, public hearing was continued from September 12, 1989, to
consider Petition V-89-9.
Planner Sam Saadeh stated that the 3 foot variance reqllested from
6 feet to 9 feet at Bordeaux Circle abutting County Barn Road ts a PUD
single family dwelling development. Ne noted that the petitioner pro-

ranging from 2 feet 3 inches to 2 feet 6 inches from County Barn Road,
supplemented by photos of the 6 foot fence which is Inadequate due to
the drop tn elevation. He indicated that Staff did not find a
hardship existed and recommended denial of the petition, however the
CCPC held a public hearing and forwarded the petition to the Board of
County Commissioners wi'th a recommendation for approval. He displayed
photos (Exhibit 1 on f~l.~ ~n office of Clerk of the Board). In
response to Commissioner Hasse, Ms. Belice indicated that there will
be landscaping in front of the fence, some hibiscus, etc., and the
fence will not be seen from the road. In response to Commissioner
Shanahan, Ms. Belice reported that there is a noise problem, their
windows cannot be left open and some people cannot use their lanats.

Dick Clark, Code Enforcement Supervisor, stated that Curtis D.
Mitchell requires a mobile home permit for his business, Golden Gate
Tree Farm. He noted that the mobile home is a watchman type w~th ~ood
reason because of its location. He explained that Staff had no
authority to review this on its o~ and recommends approval. He
reported that the reason for the ordinance is to limit the use of
mobile homes as an agricultural operation for 3 years. Mr. Mitchell
reported that this moblle home Is 1/2 mile north of the County land-
fill In Golden Gate. In response to Co~lssioner Saunders, Mr. G/ark
indicated that there are no violations by conducting retail sales.
Co~lssioner GoodntGht reported that the standard procedure Is ~ agri-
cultural type operation with a mobile home watchman.
Shanahan qu(~stioned ]f an amendment could be presented to cover a
situation such as this? Ken Baginskl, Planning Services ManaGer,
replied that the Ordinance allows placement of a m~b~le bom,,., for the
length of the agricultural use or 3 years, whichever i's wl'urter, with
no provision for extension. He reported that Staff Is I- the process
of preparing an amendment within two months to make a Feco~endation
that this activity be al/owed for as long as there is a ~na fide
agricultural activity in progress.

County Attorney Cuyler stated that he spoke with Attorney John
Hooley, and advised him that the Board of County Commissioners would
be briefed in memo form about this item and the matter would be con-
tinued for 2 weeks.
Project Review Services Manager John MadaJewski, stated that he
is present for rebuttal purposes. He referred to the memo and attach-
ments that have been provided to the Board of County Commissioners.
(copy not provided to Clerk to the Board). He stated that the origi-
nal plat was one piece of ground but over the years there were metes
and bounds sales of property, all fronting Highway 951. He explained
that there have been subsequent conveyances, the property has been
subdivided, passing the test of the subdivision deftni'tion, and caused
problems for Staff In the review of a Site Development Plan petition
for Parcel No. 7, Attorney Hooley's client.
Mr. MadaJewski reported that the situation has been r?~w~d in
detail with the County Attorney and meetings were held with the appli-
cant and 4 of the 5 reuaining property owners. He indicated that
Staff has been trying to resolve the illegal subdivision problem
because some properties may not have proper access. He reported that
providing water and sewer and especially drainage on this tract w~ll
be extremely difficult.
Mr. MadaJewski pointed out the properties that front 9~1 and
20th Place Southwest, and a large parcel in the back that is
landlocked. He noted that Alligator Alley cannot be utilized for
those properties, and initial information with the Site Development
Plan request showed a second access to H~ghway 951, adjacent to Parcel
6, but Staff has not been able to obtain records showing the access
still exists.
Page 40
SEPTEMBER R6, 1989
In response to Commissioner Saunders0 Mr. MadaJewski explained
that Attorney Hooley is requesting relief from the Board regarding
Staff's position not to proceed with Site Development Plan approval
for Parcel No. ? until an acceptable Master Plan is worked out by the
remaining property owners.
Attorney John Hooley explained that a group of people wanted to
purchase the parcel of property. He reported that originally the
entire parcel was owned by a Trustee, First Union Bank took the pro-
party in foreclosure and put it on the market. He stated that his
clients asked him to iqvestigate the zoning in order to build an
office building, purchased the property in April and submitted a Site
Plan for review. He reported that his clients have been told they
must get Master Plan approval on the entire tract. Coml~tssioner
Hasse questioned the easement tn the center of the property next to
The Gathering7 Mr. MadaJewskl responded that Staff has not been able
to verify that.
Attorney Cuyler explained that this particular piec~ ,,- property
can be physically and legally accessed, but not for the p'urpoaea they
want. Attorney Hooley pointed out the easement on the displayed map,
and Mr. MadaJewskt replied that the 40 foot easement ts over-laned
with other easements. He explained that the problem is there ts no
clear picture of what is out there regarding the easements. He empha-
sized that the project has no master plan or consistency. A
discussion followed about the definition of a subdivision.
Attorney Cuyler indicated that Attorney Hoole¥ ts asking that the
Site Development Plan be processed and normal platting requirements
for the entire tract not be submitted. In response to Commissioner
Saunders, Attorney Cuyler stated that in his opinion the Board of
County Commissioners does not have the authority to do this. Re
emphasized that this Is an illegally subdivided lot.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if this matter could be continued
so that Attorney Cuyler can render an opinion as to what the Board of
Page 41
SKPTEMBER 26, 1989
County Couissioners can do?
Attorney Hooley concurred, but noted that the method of enfor-
cement is the problem because technically his client purchased pro-
perty and Is being denied consideration of the Site Development P/an
based on the f~ct that someone prior in title failed to comply.
He emphasized that the 40 foot access easement on the north side of
the parcel next to his clients is sufficient for access along 20th
Place Southwest. A discussion followed about master plan require-
ments.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that he did not think Attorney
Hoole¥'s clients should not have to do the entire master plan. He
reported that if the Board of County Commissioners had the authority
to instruct Planning to accept the site plan and work out the details
with the other owners, Mr. Knight and Mr. Pollack, that would be the
best direction. A discussion followed about all tbs owners
possible site plans.
Commissioner Saunders stated that he would like adv:~.~ from the
County Attorney on how the Board of County Commissioners can proceed
on this item and asked that this item be continued for ~ weeks.
also asked Mr. MadaJewskt to meet with Attorney Cuyler.

Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that this
item is being returned to the Commission for reconsideration regarding
the possibility of coming up with a road alignment to serve the rural
area of the County as a result of the access controls which ar~ being
implemented from the construction of 1-75. He advised that in early
1987, hearings took place relating to the affects that I-?S ~ould have
on cutting off access for many parcels along the north and south s~de
of the Alley. He noted that at that point in ti~e, Staff was d~rected
Page 42
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
to look into the concept of whether a service road could be devoloped
on either the north or south side of the alley to recreate access bet-
ween Golden Gate Estates on Everglades Boulevard and C.R. 951. He
stated that the possibility of extending Sabal Palm Road from C.R. 951
eastward to Golden Gate Estates was also considered at that time. He
indicated that when reviews were made in the rural areas north of the
Alley, considerations were given to the possibility of a service road
on the north side of the Alley, and through an environmental review,
the corridors one mile north, and two miles north of the Alley were
looked at to consider an east/west roadway that may in fact recreate
accesses that have been taken away by 1-75, and to determine if an
alignment is found, whether or not the Department of Transportation
may participate in the initial studies or the construction. He
reported that since that time, a number of condemnation cases have
been filed, and many of these are being discussed relative to whether
or not the County can recreate accesses.
Mr. Archibald explained that in February, 1989, Staff was
authorized by the Board to distribute Request for Proposals, and a
selection committee was appointed and they reviewed the four proposals
which were submitted. He noted that the firms were short-listed, a~d
the two firms that were the most qualified were asked to submit infor-
mation on the time to perform the work, and the cost. He advised that
from the Information that was provided, Staff felt that not only was
the firm of Anchor Engineering qualified, but they could also perform
the work in a short period of time, and at a price that is almost 1/3
of the proposal submitted by the other qualified firm. He stated that
one of the reasons that Anchor Engineering is able to submit the good
price and time frame for doing the work is that they are currently
performing survey work for a landowner in the subject area, and tn so
doing, they have been able to establish many of the section corners
which will be important for the County to tie the road allure, ants Into
either a map of survey and location, or a legal description at some
future point tn time.
Page 43
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
M~, Archibald advised that between now and the end of 1989, Staff
will have some Idea from the surveys that have been done, to account
for vegetation, existing easements, and existing terrains, and to
determine whether there are 1, 2 or 3 good alignments for a future
road and how much it will cost to put in a grade connection. He
reported that one roadway in question is Camelot Drive, where there is
currently four families, and they have been given notice that by the
beginning of 1990, the Florida Department of Transportation will have
to complete the canal work and fencing of the right-of-way, and in so
doing, they will have to follow through with their condemnation case,
or find some other way to gain access to a public road. He stated
that the road that Staff is trying to determine alignment of, would
have the ability of tying in some of the other roads.
Mr. Archibald indicated that the consultant has h~ttn chosen, a
contract has been prepared, noting that one change need~ to b~ ~ade
relating to the Interest payments for late payments for ~cnthly
invoices. He advised that that section of the contract will be
deleted, and rely upon the prompt payment act, whereas if payments are
late, there will be up to a 1% charge per month placed upon that
invoice. He indicated that the price is favorable to do the sur-
veying, vegetated analysis, and contour work which will determine two
or three good road way alignments, for a cost of approximately
$45,000. He reported that this price is consistent with what was sub-
mitted to the Commission in 1988. He stated that after the alignments
and costs are determined, Staff will be able to ascertain whether the
right-of-way can be donated, and whether or not funding can be
obtained from the State or other private property owners to put In
some type of graded connection which will provide for immediate access
for some of the owners that are cut off, and in the long term will
possibly provide for an east/west connection that will shorten those
tripe between the rural area of Golden Gate Estates and C.R. 951 in
the urban area.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald advised that the
Page 44
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
alignment that is being considered is approximately 6 miles long,
noting that 2 miles of the roadway currently exists, but the right-of-
way has nmver been dedicated. He indicated that the cost for the
graded connection which will be a stabilized subgrade and limerock
surface will be approximately $40,000 - $50,000 per mile.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the last time this item appeared on
the agenda, there were discussions relative to a possible conflict of
interest. ~r. Archibald reported that Anchor Engineering is under
contract to establish survey corners for property owners In the area.
He noted that both of the firms that were short-1]~te(! had tb~ same
conflict, in that, they both provided work in the sama area. He
explained that the Commission has Just about every col~sult~nt In town
under contract for some type of work, either design or uo~struction,
and he does not believe that there is any problem with Anchor
Engineering providing input as to the results of that work, and the
alignments to be considered.
Mr. Archibald explained that the State currently has a series of
condemnation cases with those owners which are being delayed with the
idea that if the County can provide access to those owners, the State,
rather than putting their money into buying that property, can put
their money into road ~mprovements. He noted that the State is
waiting on the County from the standpoint of whether or not an align-
Bent is feasible.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he does not see any i~mediate bene-
fit to those taxpayers who are going to fund the other road projects.
He indicated that he believes that the people in Golden Gate Estates
would love to have the $45,000 to be used to pave the limerock roads
in the area where people are living, rather than to do this work for
future generations.
The following persons spoke ~n opposition to a contract award to
Anchor Engineering for survey work for the extension of 25th Avenue
S.W./Brantley Boulevard:
Ms. Tanya Dekowskl
Mr. Jeff Hill
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
Reasons of opposition were cited as follows: conflict of
interest; extensive damage by bulldozers, heavy equipment; survey
markers have been destroyed and thrown in nearby bushes; vegetation
has been destroyed: and this is an environmentally sensitive area.
Mr. Archibald stated that based upon information supplied by
County Staff, there is a strong indication that the alignment of the
road has to go either north or south of a wetland area, and the fence
line has stayed along the section line, itself.
Mr. Ron Hurt, President of Anchor Engineertng~ Inc., stated that
his firm is not the agent for Mr. Brown, nor have they fi/ed any
applications for him. He explained that Anchor Enginoerin~i was hired
to put in section corners over an area of 4 miles nortk ~%. ] mouth, and
6 mi/es east and west. He noted that many of these sections had never
been establlshed. He advised that the work has been completed, and
Anchor Engineering currently has no involvement in that section. He
reported that his firm did surveying work for one particular property
owner, but that is the extent of their obligation. He noted that his
firm did no clearing.
Mr. Archibald reported that he has been advised by a Code
Compliance Officer that this particular case is currently in Circuit
Court, and is being prosecuted by the County relative to the c/earing
without a permit.
Commissioner Saunders questioned the importance of this project to
Collier County? Mr. Archibald replied that he believes that this pro-
Ject is worthwhile for the following reasons:
1. To determine where the best alignment for a future roadway
would be.
2. When the subject area is developed, the County should know in
advance the type of terrain.
Mr. Archibald called attention to the last page of the Executive
Summary, advising that one thing that may want be consider is
possibility of breaking the project up into two phases: the first
phase to tie down the alignment will cost $8,650; and the second
phase, for the alignment survey has been estimated to cost $11,900.
Page 46

Me indicated that the Couission may desire to scale down the survey
work from the original $4§,000 to the range of $20,000 or less. He
advised that Phase I, and part "a" of Phase II will give Staff a
strong indication of where that road should follow, and it will give
DOT a strong indication of what is possible, and whether or not they
may wish to participate.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that she has been cont&¢ted by the
people in th~ subject area as late as last week, and they have voiced
concerns not only of the additional miles it takes them out of their
way to reach C.R. 951, but more importantly, if ther~ i~ ~ver a fire
on Everglades Boulevard, how will these residents be able <] g,~t them-
selves out of the area7 She indicated that she feels that this is a
good, legitimate question, and it is well worth the County'~ time and
money to have the survey performed, and hopefully, the State wil,~ par-
ticipate; and if not, the road can be limerocked, so that people will
be able to g~t out in the case of an emergency.
Co~lsstoner Volpe indicated that that those persons bought pro-
perty in the area knowing what the access was at that time. He noted
that he cannot support the expense of $4§,000, when only a handful of
people will be benefiting, adding that the County has other priori-
ties.
Mr. Archibald advised that in 1987, ~ petition was received from
25 residents in the Keens Road area to consider undertaking this by
creating a Special Taxing District. He noted that unfortunately,
there may not be sufficient time between now and the end of the year,
to indicate to the State whether or not an alignment is f~asible in
that area.

inconsistencies. He noted that there Is the alternative of the MSTU,
and the property owners to benefit will underwTtte the cost~. He

called attention to the fact that millions of dollars ars being cut
from the County's budget, since $250,000 Is not sufficient, and now
$20,000 is being considered to be sptnt for a survey that will merely
benefit a handful of people.
Commissioner Saunders indicated that he concurs with Commissioner
Volpe.

Human Resources Director Whitecotton stated that last year tho
County Implemented a new comprehensive classification, compensation
and performance evaluation system which succeeded in the following:
1. To ~ecure a better position In the marketplace for recruit-
ment and retention of employees.
2. To maintain internal pay and classification equity among all
positions.
3. To make performance the primary basis in compensation deci-
sions.
4. To allow trained Staff to administer the system.
Mr. Whltecotton explained that part --f th~ administration Is the
update of the Plan based on market conditions and Internal equity con-
slderattons. He noted that the proposed pay plan for this year is
based on the annual wage and benefit survey which was conducted, as
well as a number of internal position classification studies. He
advised that the new plan includes 21 nf~w pay titles, and 31 pay grade
adjustments of existing titles. He reported that there are no across
the board, or General wage adJustme,~s recommended for this year.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Whitecotton indicated that

Emergency Services Administrator Reardon stated that this Item
involves a consortium of many agencies within the C~unty coming
together and co-sponsoring the purchase of additional equipment to add
to the existing control radio frequency. He advised theft the Intent
Is to build in redundancy so that only a part of the s¥'etem, rather
than the entire system would be lost. He noted that tht~ will also
provide day to day coverage throughout the County.
Mr. Reardon indicated that approval is requested tod~y sl~ce the
prices do go up October 1, 1989. He explained that this will be
next year budget item, noting that $42,1§3 is requested from Reserves
as seed money into an account, and once the system is up and running,
the various agencies will reimburse the seed money and it will go back
into Reserves.

In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Reardon reported that the
hardware is a one time cost, and the rental is an annual on-going
cost. He advised that in many parts of the County, the emergency
vehicles are unable to communicate with control. Ne further noted
that during periods of power losses, the emergency dispatch capability
is entirely lost. He explained that this ~ystem will allow the con-
tinuance of service, regardless of the location, and whether or not
power is lost.

sider Bid #Sg-144g Track Type Dozer (Rebld of
· nvtronmental Services Administrator Borenz stated that Staff is
requesting that the subject bid be awarded to Kelly Tractor of Ft.
Myers. He explained that Staff believes that this is the best value
for Collier County, the Caterpillar User Llst offers four landfill
applications in Florida, has the best service capability, and offers a
superior warranty. He advised that Kelly has met all of the vehicle
specifications, and they offer a superior drive train.
Mr. Lorenz referred to Page 3 of the Executive Summa,fy, th~ total
life cycle cost analysis, and noted that when a
considered, the cost for the Caterpillar is less than that o! the Fiat.
Co~issioner Volpe questioned whether both the Fiat equipment mnd
the Kelly equipment meet the specifications? Mr. Lorenz replied that
both pieces of equipment meet the essential areas, with the exception
of the final drive configuration, and only Kelly Tractor met that spe-
cification.
Attorney Nelson Faerber, Jr., representing Adams DeWind, Flat
Supplier, stated that Page 5 of the bid specs requested that the bid-
ders submit their factor warranties, but neither of the bidders did
that. He advised that the bidders provided dealer incentive warran-
ties, and the result was Kelly Tractor ~ years/?,500 hours; and Fiat,
a I year warranty. He indicated that had the specs called for
optional warranties, Adams DeWind CO%l!d have provided for an addi-
tional $7,000, but $3,500 less than Kelly, § years/7,500 hours on the
power train, § years 18,000 hours on the engine, and 2 years 3,000
hours on the overall.
Attorney Faerber advised that Bid #89-1395 was tailored to only
one manufacturer, Caterpillar, and it was thrown out at the pre-bid
conference. He indicated that there was no pre-bid conferenco for Bid
#89-1449. He noted that Solid Waste Management Supervisor Russell
telephoned his clients late one afternoon to discuss the details of
the bid, and the specs went out pretty much unchanged. He stated that
Page 51
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
the important laaue appears to be the salvage value, and he believes
that Staff's information is very flawed. He advised that the Fiat
FD30B model was not offered to the general public for sale until
February, 1988, and therefore, Staff is not comparing the models as
they indicate in the Executive Summary.
With regard to the bid specifications for drive systems, Mr.
Faerber advised that his clients contend that the doubl~ reduction ie
as competent as the double reduction planetary design. He noted that
his clients read the specs to mean double reduction or ,planetary
design. He stated that landfill applications are much ~o~.? mrringent
and tougher on machines than a construction application, in ~ene]~al.
He indicated that Adams Dewlnd's bid is $42,190 less than Kolly
Tractor's bid. He explained that if necessary, he can address the
user list which was addressed in the Executive Summary. He noted that
his clients were asked to provide in-state landfill references, and
not out of ~tate references. He stated that his clients contend that
Collier County is getting as competent a piece of heavy machinery
which has been used in this application successfully, for $42,000
less, and they do not understand the recommendation to award the bid
to Kelly Tractor. He further noted that there ts nothing in the bid
specifications regarding salvage values, trade-in value, present day
dollars, etc.
Solid Waste Management Supervisor Rucsc31 advised that sorvice ts
always an Issue with his department, since the vendors have to be
relied upon for repairs. He noted that the Solid Waste Department
does not have mechanics, and it was stated upfront in the specifica-
tions that this would be part of the summary and review.
Tape ~
Commissioner Shanahan asked Mr. Russell to address the question
relating to salvage value. Mr. Russell stated that Staff used Data
Quest, a Dun & Bradstreet Co., which has been in business for 27
years, and they go by resale value as opposed to auction.
Mr. Leo Charboneau, Sales Manager, Kelly Tractor Co., ~tated that
Page
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
he ts in support of Staff's recommendation. He noted that he believes
they did a thorough Job of investigating the users lists, and his com-
pany can provide a genuine list of users for the landfill waste dispo-
sal arrangement. He indicated that he does not believe that Fiatsllts
can supply the Commission with a list of satisfied users, and the
reason for that Is basically, because there are none. He advised that
one of the reasons that the Caterpillar product is mor~ expensive, is
because the%* have dealer support where it counts: 4 dealers in South
Florida, and parts availability at 98% within 48 hours.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether Mr. Charbon~-~'l .{$ pi'spared
to g%l&rantee a salvage value of $175,O00, to which he repla~d affir-
matively.
Commissioner Volpe stated that it appears that based upon the cost
analysis that has been done, Mr. Faerber's client ks not the lowest
responsible bidder.
Attorney Faerber noted that the buy back provision is outside of
the specifications, and he does not believe that it should be a cri-
teria in the decision, and if it is, the bids should be thrown out and
rabid.
Mr. Russell explained that it ~;as stated in the first paragraph of
the specifications that the salvage v;llue would be considered.

Commissioner Saunders reported that the contract provides $55,000
be spent between now and December 31, 1989, for consulting work. He
stated that thls is a large amount of money for that type of con-
sulting and the short time period Involved. He indicated that in

reading over the list of services to be provided by the consultant,
he does not feel that the contract Is sufficient to warrant a $§5,000
fee.
Environmental Services Administrator Lorenz explained that the
County is still tn the process of developing Its recycling program.
He reported that the Media Marketing would work with The Conservancy
to provide audio visual materials and press releases, ~orklng up
newsletter~, etc. Commissioner Sounders commented that he has no idea
what the consultant will do. A discussion followed about exactly what
the consultant would do. County Manager Dorrtll suggestsd continuing
the item for a week, and Staff will provide the Board of County
Contestoners with further Information. Commissioner Sounders
requested that Attorney Cuyler work with Mr. Dorrtll to define exactly
what the services are.

Assistant County Manager McLemore Indicated that Waste Management
of Collier County is seeking site locations or staging areas where
their equipment would pick up containers or cylinders for 90 days on a
trial basle. He noted that if It Is feasible for both parties,
a firm agreement will be brought before the Board of County
Commissioners for consideration. In reepoaee to Commissioner
Shanahan, Mr. McLemore reported that there Is no fair market r~ntal
value. A discussion followed about the locations. Commissioner Volpe
questioned the benefit of allowing the County property to be Used for
this purpose? Mr. McLemore replied that a monetary value for rental or
provision of current services would be provided to the County.
Ken Engelseer, General Manager of Waste Management, Inc.~ reported
that the County Is providing service through the County's couercial
container service at a number of the locations, and the cost of that
to the county will be reduced. He also explained that there is the
potential benefit to the residents In terms of Collier County, i.e.

efficiencies, cost, cleanliness, etc. In response to Commissioner
Hasse, Mr. Engelseer reported that the system is difficult to explain
without seeing it. He stated that a route truck in a residential area
when filled up, rather than going to the landfill disposal site, would
drop a sealed container, and pick up an empty container in the staging
area. He reported that later in the day a vehicle cap~ble of hauling
3 containers would pick them up and transport them to the landfill.

Countt Attorney Cuyler discussed in detail the documents in the
agenda pa.:kage relating to this Appeal. In response to Commissfoner
Volpe, At'~orney Cuyler noted that there are quite a number of cases
where liblary and park impact fees were collected, but the developer
did not ask for vested rights determination. He explaim~d ~:hat cer-
tain preliminary work was done, but no building permits were issued.
Attorney A.~%hony Pires, Jr., representing Can-American Naples,
Ltd., indicated that all the exhibits were attached when this applica-
tion was submitted to the County Attorney, and the same exhibits will
be relied upon today. He explained that the project is located on
Airport Road, east side across from J & C Boulevard and north of the
Collier County School Board Transportation Maintenance facility, south
of Princess Park. He stated that there are 400 units involved, 25
buildings, and 16 units per building. He briefly described the chro-
nology based on the documents submitted in the executive summary. He
noted that in August, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned
the property from A-2 to RMF-12 and oranted a provisional use for a
wastewater treatment plant. He indicat~9 that after obtaining the
rezoning, a tree removal permit and excavation permit was applied for
and the application fee for the excavation permit was paid. He noted
that on December 6, 1988, Planning Services had no objection to the
Excavation Permlt with certain conditions. He explained that on
December 8, 1988, 3ohn Boldt in Water Management approved the
Application for Development Excavation with stipulations, 7 numbered
items to be resolved, a performance bond provided and permit fee pa~d
before the Excavation Permit would be issued. He stated that on
December 16, 1988, numerous permits were applied for and on December
19, all permits had been applied for and December 27, 1988, is the
effective date of the Ordinance. Commissioner Saunders commented that
Page 56
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
the application was made after the Ordinance was approved, prtor to it
becoming ~ffecttve. Attorney Plres concurred and explained that the
building I~rmlt applications were made December 16 and 19, the
tree remo~&l permit application was made November 21, and December 8
was the d~te the Water Management Department approved the development
excavation request and on December 7, Natural Resources indicated some
vegetation had to be removed with a tree removal permit .if ]'% wa~ not
to be incorporated into the landscaping. Commissioner ~aur-~Qrs
questioned the water management permits being picked up :~ February,
19897 Attorney Pires responded that the permits were picked up in
February, 1989. subject to stipulations, and approved Decembem 8,
1988.
Attorney Ptres reported that every ordinance can be drafted and
written a particular way, and Attorney Cuyler's response and det~r-
mination of no vested rights indicated that, according to a copy of
the Key West case he provided, building permits were applied in one
pro3ect, impact fees were adopted after building permits, impact fees
were due at the time of Certificate of Occupancy issuance. He stated
that the Ordinance as drafted and a.~opted by the Board of County
Commissioners in this particular case has to be dealt with before
determining vested rights. He pointed out that Section 3.03 of the
Library Impact Fee Ordinance, the same ~.anguage as Section 4.04 of the
Parks and Recreational FacJlities Impact Fee Ordinance, states that the
Petition for vested rights determination shall be evaluated by the
County Attorney and a decision made based on the following cr~teria:
1) the existence of a valid, unexpired governmental act of the County
authorizing the specific development for which a determ~nation is
sought. Commissioner Volpe questioned if this ordinance had been ~n
effect at the time, would the developer have paid the impact fees for
Park & Library at the time the tree permit approval permits and the
permit for excavation were received, or when the building permit was
pulled for the dwelling units? Attorney Pires responded that, pur-
suant to the ordinance, at the time of the building permit appltca-
Page
SEPTENB~R 26, 1989
tiaa. He noted that the mechanten for triggering payment regarding
these 2 ordinances were the actual applications. Commissioner Volpe
commented that if the ordinance was in effect, the Impart fee would
not have to be paid until the building permit was pulled for the
dwelling unit. Attorney Ptres stated his concern ts a Darr~
Interpretation of the existence of a valid unexpired gove';'.~, ntal act
of the County authorized tn the specific development, h= explained
that there Is no definition of Development Order in the ordinance, and
no definition t~f what constitutes a valid unexpired governmental act
of the County authorized In the specific development for which the
determination Is sought. Ne indicated that he would look to guidance
from Chapters 380 and 163 of the Florida Statues in the definitional
sections, and Section 380.031 of Section 3 which says: "Development
Order means any order granting, denying or granting with conditions an
application for development permit", and "Development Permit includes
any building permit, zoning permit, plat approval or rezontng,
certificate certification variance or other Act having the effect of
permitting development as defined tn this Chapter. He reported that
the term Development Order means at'~y order granting, denying or
granting with conditions an application for development permit.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the Developnent Order he is relying on?
Attorney Ptres responded the developme~ excavation request. A
discussion followed about Development Orders and criteria. Attorney
Cuyler pointed out that the term development can be broken do~ Into
almost anything and not necessarily used in terms of the pro~ect. He
indicated that he construed development as being the actual building
or construction.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if there was a Site Development
Plan when the Water Management approval was received7 Attorney Ptres
replied that there was and ts part of the submittal tn the conveyance
letter from George Mellen to John Boldt dated November 21, 1988, but
the document was not part of the appeal package. Attorney Cuyler
explained that his determination was not made based on a site plan
Page 58
SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
that was not su~)aitted as part of the appeal package. He commented
that his opinion would not necessarily have been chanHed because of
that. Commissioner Volpe questioned the analysis of t~e case law sup-
porting the strict construction of these types of statutes?
A discussion followed about case law and local govern~?nt~ in
relation to impact fees.
Attorney Cuyler reported that the Key West case law t~dtcates the
Court had ~ situation where building permits were issued, properties
were sold, and the developer was still required to pay impact fees that
he could not pass on to his purchasers, prior to receiving a
Certificate of Occupancy. He commented that if that Is equitable,
charging impact fees under Attorney Ptres' case where $271,000 of work
has been done on a 400 unit pro3ect and not a single building has been
built is not unreasonable. He noted that these costs can be passed on
to his client's purchasers. He emphasized that the Board of County
Commissioners remember that there is an impact and there is a level of
service to be kept up, and if the Impact fees are not paid by develo-
pers, they will be paid out of the general fund. In response to
Co~issioner Volpe, Attorney Plres ~tated that the impact fees amount
to $200,000 for 400 units.
Cosumtssioner Saunders questioned the name of the pro3ect now?
Attorney Ptres Indicated that it is Fountain View with the same owners
on the same property. A discussion followed about the original pro~ect
site and changes made since then.
Commissioner Saunders questioned how the Board of County
Commissioners can get around 1) the statement from the County's state-
ment on December 8, 1988, from John Boldt that the County Commission
approved the project on August 2, 1988, Including the proposed lake
excavation tn Mr. Pires exhibits, and 2) the Ordinance deflnttton of a
substantial expenditure of funds tn order to vest rights. Attorney
Cuyler responded that the exact expenditures are one of the criteria
to be evaluated and he had to place a certain degree of weight on the
amount of expenditures In relation to the total amount spent on the
Page 59
SEPTEMBER
project. $271.000 as opposed to the land cost for 400 units and the
construction of 400 units, which he estimates will be ;znder 5 percent,
He emphasized that he placed a great deal of weight on public policy
and the damage to the public, rather than the alleged damage to the
developer. Commissioner Volpe concurred and stated that m!.~e the
units have not been sold, the developer can recoup the Jl'mts by
passing them on to the prospective purchasers. Commissioner Volpe
indicated that he is not particularly sympathetic to this situation.
Commissioner Saunders commented that he is looking at the lan~age
In the Ordinance that defines what the expenditure would be.
A discussion followed about Mr. Pires' letter of January 25, 1989,
and imposition of the library impact fee. Attorney Plree indicated
that has changed and is going forward.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Attorney Cuyler replied that
he discounted the fact that affordable housing is being provided,
because the impact fee ordinance s~ts criteria for meeting affordable
housing and gives waivers and/or rebates for impact fees. He noted
the Board of County Commissioners legislatively determined what is
affordable housing and Attorney Plres does not meet that criteria.
Attorney Cuyler emphasized that building permits have not been
issued, and the Courts bend over bac;~ard~ to assist local ~overnments
in assessing and collecting these type~ -.f impact fees.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Attorney Cuyler stated that
the Board of County Commissioners is being asked to overturn his
determination. Commissioner Volpe explained that the Board ia being
asked to waive the requirements of collecting $200,000 in impact fees
for these 400 units.

County Manager Dorrill explained that the problem is not the flag,-
pole, but with the location. He reported that the wisdom
h~gh fla~ole in a County median that is 5 feet wide is not good
desi~, according to Mr. Archibald. He indicated that there is more
than ade~ate property on either side of the road or at the entrancs
of the development for the flagpole.
Co~issioner Shanahan suggested that Mr. Archibald ~d M~'.
