County Attorney Cuyler indicated that he was not at the meeting
when this item was previously discusseð and is subject to changes by
the Commission.
County Manager Lusk questioned where the stipulation comes from
that there would be no tram, to which Commissioner Glass stated that
this came frc;'m the discussion during the previous meeting as well as
the discussion of having the roadway open to the public so that there
would be access.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the condition that was expressed
was to be sure that the roadway remains open, adding that he is not
sure that this Board can dictate such a thing i~to the future and he
would assume that the State would want to keep that road open.
Commissioner Glass stated that the State wants to make this an
access road.
Commissioner Pistor stated that there has been considerable con-
cern from the Naples Conservancy and they are still against having
a parking area near the preserve area.
Commissioner Glass stated that the Conservancy has been out there
this week laying out the highlands of the area for parking purposes.
County Manager Lusk stated that it is almost like saying that the
State has to build this parking area if they accept the County's
million dollilrs.
Commissioner Hasse questioned if the County has a right to say
that there cannot be a tram, to which Assistant County Manðger Dorrill

stated he would eliminate that stipulation.
Commissioner Saunders stated that in the resolution the Developer
is required to adhere to PUD requirements and questioned if the State
purchases property based on this resolution, does this prevent the
County. in the future from amending the PUD document to better serve
the interest of the public? He noted that these conditions may be red
flags to the State.
Commissioner Goodnight asked if the County is going to commit to
$1,000,000 and there is no safeguards, how can the County be assured
that they will be able to use the beach? She stated that the beach
cannot be used if there i~ not a parking lot or access to it and the
State is controlling this the way it is set up now. She stated that
this would simply mean that the County is throwing $l,OOO,OOC away.
County Manager Lusk stated that the County could add a stioulation
that would indicate that the County would be willing to build tt,:.!
parking lot to be used by the public, which would guarantee the
parking and the public beach. He stated that Assistant County Manager
Dorrill will be in Tallahassee in front of this board and he needs to
know in which direction he can go.
Commissioner Glass stated that the contribution of $1,000,000 is
more than other counties are offering, adding that the State is
impressed with this amount. He stated that there should be stipula-
tions to protect the interest of Collier County.
Mr. Lusk stated that Mr. Dorrill should be able to negotiate when

he gets to the meeting and there should be definite direction given.

parking lot along with the $1,000,000 to be assured of beach access.
