ChaIrman PIst~r read a telegram from Cardinal Industries wIth-
drawing Petition R-85-2OC. It was the consensus of the CommissIoners
that the registered speakers for thIs petItIon be heard.
Mr. Jack Jenkins, President of the Palm River Homeowners and Civic
Association, said that they understand that the petition h3s been
withdrawn; however, they feel strongly that their statements prepared
for the ·public hearing on March 4, which "'as continued to March 18,
apply equally to other petitions that will come before the Commis-
sioners in the future. He noted that their comments are on record
regarding PetItion R-85-l9C, Palmetto Pines, and they addressed the
inadequacy of the square footage criteria as a definition of affordable
housing. He said that they sp~ke of the need to specifically define
affordable housing and to include incODe qualifications. He said that
these yet to be determined guidelines must be enforced. Also, he said
that petitions should be reviewed carefully to ensure that they conform
to the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan. He said that all of the above
comments apply not only to Palmetto Pines and North View Apartments,
but to the whole issue of all high density development. He said that
they also addressed the issues of traffic, potable water, drainage,
groundwater retention and wildfires. He asked that these thIngs be
considered when the Board considers anything that will impact North
Naples.
Chairman Pistor advised that the County is embarking on a ~ajor
revision of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. George Keller, Collier County Civic federation, questioned
when Petition R-85-20C could come before the Board again. Chairman
Pistor advised that it cannot CODe back b.·fore six months and it would
be a new petition before the Staff, CCPC, and would be well advertised.
Mr. Leonard Rowley, President of Victoria Park II Property OWners
Association, said th~t he is representIng 205 property oWõers and wants

to be on record as opposed to the petition.
Mr. David Leight was registered to sp~ak but declined.
Mr. Larry Ingram, voiced his objection to the continued post-
ponements and today's wIthdrawal of the petition and said that the
people would like to know the individual C~mmissioner's position on the
project. ke requested a straw vote and the CommIssIon was advised by
County "'ttorney Saunders that there is no petition before them and he
cautioned the CommissIoners that when they receive a petition they have
to make their decision based on evidence before the~ and suggested that
they take no action on the request.
Commissioner Voss said that there are many factors considered when
a petition for development is presented to the Board, one being the
attitude of the people In the area. He said that they have heard from
the people in Palm River, Willoughby Acres and Victoria Park and he
could not vote for a petition with that much opposition.
Com~issioner Hasse said that he would not support the petition.
County Attorney Saunder3 said that if the Commission takes a straw
vote it would not be bindIng on this ComminsIon or any other Commission
if the petition Is brought back.
Commissioner Holland saId that he could not support the petition.
Commissioner Goodnight said that she does not believe that Collier
County does not want Cardinal Industries but she believes that it is
not a good project for North Naples but it would be an ideal project
for Immokalee.
Chairman Pistor said that the co~ents are on the record and there
is no need to take a straw vote as it appears to be a unanimous
decision against the project.
Tape t2
Ms. Joyceanna Rautio, property owner in Victoria Park and
Willoughby "'cres displayed a map that she purchased this date from the
Planning Department In which Palmetto Pines and North View Apartments
were already Inked in and she suggested th~t the Planning Department
not be so presumptious as to think that a rezone petItIon can b& placed
on a map before the Board has an opportunity to vote on it.
Mr. David pettrow, PlannIng/ZonIng Director, advised the Board
that the map in question was developed for staff purposes and it is
available to the pub11c but not meant to pre-designate something.

l.a RAYMOMD SMITH, RE A rIYI rOOT VARIANCE POR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THI
S.I. COIUfER or PALM ST. . IDDIIKiTo. PLACE, PlARCO ISLAND - ADOPTED
-'I
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 2, 1986 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication fIled with th!!
Clerk, public hearing was op.ned to consider Petition V-86-2, filed by
J. Kudravy, Architect representing Raymond Smith, requesting a five
foot variance from 35' to 30' for property located on the southeast
corner of Palm Street and Eddington Place, Marco Island, in order to
construct a duplex.
Planner McKim recalled that on December 17, 1985 the Board denied
a request for a ten foot front yard variance for the subject property
because it was Staff's recommendation that the property exceeded the
minim~ lot area requirement and the structures could be located on the
property without a variance. She said that the property is zoned RMf-6
and the p.titioner proposed a duplex containing ~ 2700 square feet and
the Rl1r~6 district required only 1500 square feet; therefor., the size
of the duplex could be reduced and still comply with the Zoning
Ordinance. She said that the only hardship appears to be one of
location or design.
Ms. McKim referred to the criteria in the Executive Summary that
the Staff followed to determine their recommendation of denial.
Mr. John Kudravy said that his client has owned the property in
excess of 10 years and he has spent the better part of two years
designing a structur. to comply with the codes .s well as me.ting the
design criteria for his client. He displayed a map indicating that 44'
of the area is a corner setback. He said that the variance ts
requested so that the building can be .oved to make the structure fit
in and blend harmoniously with all other structures on Eddington Place.
He said that in addition to the variance he would like verification
that the building is of acceptable sIze. Ms. McKim said that the unit
exceeds the require.ent and there is no problem with it. Mr. Kudravy
noted that it was most i.portant that the design criteria appear as one
building so that it would be harmonious with the site and that the
position of the building on which they are requesting the setback is
only for one portion of the building. He said that it is just a small
part of the building that is 25' long that they would like to align on
the setback.

Planner McKi~ referred to the Executive S~mary dated March 10,
1986 and explained that the City of Naples is requesting Provisional
Use 8.10 of the Zoning Ordinance for a wat~r storage tank for property
located on the north~st corner of Lois Street and Shadowlawn Drive in
Section 11, Township 50 South, Range 25 East for 1.16 acres.
Ms. McKim said that lands to the north and east are zoned RMf-6
and that lands to the south are zoned C-4, and lands to the west are
zoned C-4 and RMF-6. She said that to the north is vacant land, a
church school and a residences to the east is a public school play-
ground CShadowlawn Ele~entary) and a residance; to the south is a
liquor store and Green Stamp Center and to the ~st is a triplex and
two Ci ty of Naples water tanks.
Ms. McKim said that all appropriate County agencies have reviewed
the petition and reco~mended approval subject to the stipulations
outlined in the Executive Su~mary. She said that the CCPe held their
public hearing March 6, 1986 at which time staff proposed the
additional stipulation that a landscaped buffer be provIded along the
west property line adjacent to RKF-6 district with the exact location
to be deter~ined at the ti.e of Building Permit application. She said
that based on their Findings of fact, the CCPC unanimously recommended
forwarding Petition Po-S6-lC to the Board for approval subject to
staff's stipulations outlined in the Executive Summary and the above-
referenced buffering require~ent and the following stipulation:
-The use of the existing driveway (on Shadowlawn Drive) during con-
struction shall be reviewed and may be approved by the County
Engineer-. She noted that at the CCPe meeting no one spoke for or
against the petition and no correspondence has been received.
Tape 13
Commissioner Hasse questioned the size of the water tank and Ms.
McKim said it was five million gallons with a height of 38' at the top
center.
Mr. Jerry Brown, City of Naples Engineer, said that they are
planning a five million gallon tank and they have no problems with the
s tipul ations.

AODIT1o.AL CONTRIBUTIOW TO ~VID LAWRZMCE CEHTER rOR THE RESIDZHTIAL
DEPENDENCY TREATMENT PROGRAM
Mr. Ron Meserve, Executive Director of the David Lawrence Center,
said that they learned in July of 1985 that the legislature had
allocated funds to develop residential treatment programs for
adolescents with chemical dependencies. H~ said that the Center was
encouraged by the State to apply for the lImited funds available at
that time. He said that they received a grant to fund a part of the
operation for a 20-bed residential treatment program and an out-patient
services program. He said that the contract was negotiated with the
State as of October, 1985 and in that contract the Center com~itted to
implement the program by July, 1986. Mr. Meserve outlined the goals of
the program, such as providing intensive rcsidential chemical treatment
to adolescents from age 13 to 17 who are experiencing dI£ficulties with
alcohol and/or other drugs and who require any In-patient stay to
assist them to become sober; to help each client maintain sobriety;
to offer alternatives to chemical dependency which will provide support
to the adolescent upon releaso from treatment and to provide an
orientation and exposure to Alcoholics Anor.ymous and other community
based support groups to establish a long-term support system to the
adolescent upon his release from treatment.
Mr. Meserve said that following the Center's commitment to the
program they launched a campaign to raise funds for the construction of
the facility with an estimated cost of $500,000. He said that Mr. and
Mrs. Bill hutchinson have pledged up to $250,000 to match other
donations towards the $500,000 goal and to date they have raised 85' of
the goal, or $430,000. Construction should start on or about April 1,
with completion in about four months, he said. He recalled that in
September the Center had requested funds from the County for July,
1986, which was the anticipated start of the program. Mr. Meserve
explained in detail the funding cycle of the State and the need for an
additional contribution from the County in the amount of $84,361.
Ms. Carollyn l1iddlebrook of the David Lðwrence Center displayed a
chart outlining the projected expenses anð Income of the project.
Commissioner Hasse said that he had hoped that a request such as
this would come forth at budget time and questioned if the program has
to progress so rapidly?
Mr. Jlleserve said that there are two problems, el) the contract

with the Stat. mandates that they will start the program on July 1st or
.s clos. as they can or they are in jeopardy of losIng those State
funds for succeeding years; (2) funds that are in the grant for the
State fiscal year ØlUst be spent before Junu 30th, and they must have
the additional local funds available so th~t they can spend that money
or those funds will be lost.
County Manager Lusk questioned if the $63,000 was originally going
to be covered by State money and Mr. Meserve replied that last
September they had no expectation of being able to draw-down any of the
funds and it was not until a little while ago that they found out that
they could draw-down on those State funds for the capital equipment and
furniture requirements for the new facilIty. Mr. Lusk asked what they
will be requesting in October and Mr. Meserve said that they will not
be coming In asking for $116,000, they will only be asking for about a
5' overall increase, so it would just be $84,000 plus any cost of
living requirem.nts.
Commissioner Holland said that he is in total support of the
.fforts of the Center and that h. believes the proposed program is long
over due.
Commissioner Voss said that h. is totally .up~ortive of the
program.
Commissioner Goodnight said that she believes the County owes it
to the young people to support such a program.
Commi.sioner Háss. said that he is very supportive but he is also
very conscious of the cost and questioned if there is a possibility of
doing it in stages so that the Commission is not placed in this
position constantly?
Mr Meserve said that the decision by HRS was that a 20-bed
facility was going to Q~ developed In Collier County and the program is
both minimal and optimal ~nd may need to b~ expanded in the fu~ure.
Mr. Bill Barton said, regarding the drug abuse problem in this
County, that they have done a pretty decent job over the past several
years of causing the use of marijuana to g~ down but there has been an
increase in the use of alcohol. He said that an adolescent can become
much quicker addicted to alcohol. He said that there is a much better
rate of recovery for a child whose family Is part of the recovery
process and such a facility is not available in Collier County now and
treatment has to take place in a different area where it is dIfficult
for the family to take part in the treatment process. He s3id that in

the better facilities right now the cost is $12,000 a month and that
limits treatment to a small segment of our society. Mr. Barton said
that he has personal knowledge of at least 8 childen that are in remote
tr.atm.nt facilities and he knows of at laast 8 that should be in
treatment, which would fill 80' of the beds in the proposed facility.
He urged the Board to support the issu..
Mr. Ed Date., Treasurer of the David Lawrence Center and past

difficult situation but pl.aded for the children of the community for
the Board to vote for the appropriation.

PUBLIC OffICIAL LIABILITI COVERAGE QUOTED BY HATIaKAL UlIoø 'IRK
IHSURANCE - REJECTED
Risk Management Director Sherry Rynders said that over several
aonth. they have been looking for cove'~g' for public officials
liability and the only q~te that has been received to date is one for
$l aillion in coverage and a clal. basis with a $50,000 per claim
deductible and a premiU3 of $47,800. In addition, in the following
year, in order to pick up another 12 month coverage for the same year
it will cost another $11,950. Ms. Rynders said that the claims made
policy exclud.. quite a number of items, including utilitie., which i.
the only area wh.re the County has had any claims. M8. Rynder. said
that it was her feeling that the coverage should not be purcha.ed and
the County should wait until the County gO.,s out fo/'a full package and
at that time include the pro-
fessional liability in the bid.
Co..ission.r Vo.. ~Yed that tbe Board concur vitb Ms. lynde,'.

County Attorney saunders referred to the Executive Summary which
states that the sov.reign immunity limits are $lOO,QOO for an
individual and $200,000 per occurrence (f. S. 768.28), which is
correct, but he wants the Board to realize that those sovereign
iamunity limits for liability do not apply to the Federal Civil Rights
Act, which is really the federal Statute under which most civil rights
claims and large liability claims are filed.

STAn AUTHORIZED TO UGOTIAn COII'I'RAC'r WITH DAFT COIISTRUCTIo. rOR
COMPLETION or 8TH rLOOR, BUILDING -r- - TO BE BROUGHT BACK 3/25/86
March 18, 1986
Assistant County Manager Neil Oorrill said that the construction
budget includes approximately $650,000 to finish the 8th floor of
BUilding ·f- for use and it would be the first project for new offices
for activities under the [oard of County Commissioners. He said that
there is an Important need for temporary office space for people who
are being displaced while their building is being r.novated or con-
structed. He said that in lieu of renting additional office space away
from the Courthouse Complex they felt that they could get much better
value by going ahead and putting In the basic mechanical, electrical
and code requirements for the 8th floor to build a large 9,000 square
foot open space that could be used by a variety of departments while
the renovations and construction programs are in progress. Mr. Dorrill
said that Kraft ~n~truction Company did the .xpansion work involving
the 6th and 7th and 8th floor, in fact they were the original con-
tractor for the entire buIlding. He said that they have solicited
interest in this project with the very limited time schedule from other
contractors in the Naples area and they indicated that they were not
interested. Mr. Oorrill recommended authorization to waive the formal
bid process and to allow staff to ~egotIate a contract which will be
brought back to the Board for approval.
Commissioner Rasse questioned if staff has always been satisfied
with the work that Kraft has previously done for the County to which
Mr. Dorrill said that they have no hesitancy in their recommendation.
Mr. Oorrill said that they will negotiate a price and bring it back to
the Board, and that it is the County Manager's recommendation that they
get the best value for the dollar for something that will provide
long-term needs instead of renting outside space.
Mr. Lusk said that by finishIng the 8th fl~or they will be saving
$40-50,000 in rent.
Co..i..ioDer Vo.. aoved that .taff be authorized to negottate a
contract with Kraft Con.truction Company for the completion of the 8th
floor of Building ·r- and that the competitive bidding be waived for

STIPULATIOII TO SETTU THE CASE or AACASPHALT, INC. VB. COLLIER COU1lT1: _
APPROVED. STAFr DIRECTED TO REVIEW NOISE ORDINANCE AND ORIGINAL
AGREEMENT rOR COMPLIANCE WITH PUD
/l!arch 18, 1986
Assistant County Attorney Cuyler referred the Commissioners to the
document in the Executive Summary and said that as a result of two
criminal citations that were issued to MacAsphalt, Inc., citing
violations of the Collier County Noise Ordinance, MacAsphalt, Inc.
filed a lawsuIt. H. said that at this point the counsel for the
plaintiffs ia interested in a Stipulation for MacAsphalt, Inc. and
Collier County which would conclude the suit. H. said that subject to
that Stipulation is that the ordinance provIsion which they were cited
for is not applicable to the. and that the ~rdInance provision cites
certain ~ours within which an operation may occur and after those hours
are ov.r, work may not go on. H. advis.d the Soard that if they enter
into the Stipulation h. is in agreement that the that ordinance
provision does not apply to a quarry operation.
Responding to Chairman Pistor, Mr. Cuyler said that he will be
taking a close look at the ordinance to aee wh.re it can be applicable
and where it is not applicable. He said that the plaintiffs are very
interested in maintaining their current worK schedule and they work
during the night and the early hours and on occasion the County does
get complaints about the noise. H. advised the Soard that this does
not preclude enforcement of the noise ordinance against the quarry
op.ration, it will just be a case where the County will have to get
independent evidence.
Responding to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. CUyler said that the suit
was in response to citations that were issued to MaCAsphalt becauae of
two parties complaining in the area. He said that as part of this case
they had a sound expert go to various areas around the quarry and they
did not find the readings l. .. excessive.
Commissioner Holland asked if this is lhe only ordinance that
covers excavations? Mr. CUyler said that they checked MacAspha1t's and
their predecessor's PUD document and that hðs no regulations as far as
the hours. He said to his knowledge the Excavation Ordinance does not
addr.ss that. Commissioner Holland said that it was his understanding
that the violations were occurring under thv Excavation Ordinance and
the original agreement that the County had with the quarry was for
hours that they would operate. He asked if any quarry in the County

March IS, 1986
could operate 24-hours a day? Mr. Cuyler said that a portion of the
probl.m was that MacAsphalt had started the quarry operation prior to
the Excavation Ordinance going into effect and he did not recall any
sp.cific hours in that ordinance.
Commissioner Holland questioned if the Excavation Ordinanc. per se
has any control and if the orignial agreement th~t MacAsphalt had with
the County had any stipulation as to the time that they could operate
and, also, as to their requirement to furnish a right-of-way running
parallel with their property to their operation? Mr. Cuyler said that
he ~uld check on those stipulations.
Mr. CUyler said that he does agree with plaintiff's counsel that
the ordinance does not apply to quarry operations.
Mr. Mike Zewalk asked if the County has a decibel machine and Mr.
Cuyler replied affirmatively; however, he pointed out that the
ordinance does not have a decIbel reading. He said that there is a
provision in the ordinance that says you shall not work after 7:00 P.M.
until 6:00 ....M. the next morning.
Commissioner HollDnd said that he interprets the Stipulation to
mean that if it is approved MacAsphalt can ~perate whenever they
choose. Mr. CUyler said that they were cited under the N~ise Ordinance
and the only thing that the Stipulation does is say that the ordinance
that says you may not work after 7:00 P.M. does not apply to them. Mr.
Cuyler said that they may be subject to the Excavation Ordinance, the
Noise Ordinance and their PUD.
Mr. CUyler said that h. has looked at the PUD document briefly and
th.re is a requirement that they have a certain siz. buffer along their
right-of-way but it does not indicate that they have to improve the
right-of-way nor does it state that it is a public right-of-way. He
said that in emergency situations it should be used by members of the
public.
Commissioner Holland said that he has no problem with private
enterprise op.ratin? but he do.s believe that there id such a thing as
a good neighbor and good relationship. He said that he was told by
someone at the plant that MacAsphalt did not care and that they were
going to operate, and again he questioned if they have complied with
their original agreement with the County an~ if they have met the rules
and regulations of the Excavation Ordinance. He said that he would
like to know that before he agrees to anything.
Mr. CUyler said that the case is based on one specific part of one

specific ordinance that they are agreeIng does not apply to MacAsphalt.
He said that this Stipulation does not preclude them from being cited
for other violations.
Mr. ~na Watts, Plaintiff's Counsel, said that th~y believe that
the complaints were started because the frontage road that goes along
between the canal and the excavation pit was closed off by Mac....phalt
and two people wanted to take the short cut to a paved road. He said
that access was shut off and a private easement wös not given to these
parties due to the dangerous situation involving a very deep canal on
the right and the excavation pit and the lake on the left. Mr. Watts
said that the ordinance is unconstitutional because it is vague.
Mr. Witts said that the Stipulation they are entering into only applies
to the situ~tion where aft.r a c.rtain hour a deputy cannot come in and
issue a citation. He said that at midnight, standing on the corner of
the operation, there was nothing to be heard. He said that experts
compar.d their findings anG found them to be virtually identical. He
said that if at any time the noise becomes excessive they can be cited
under the Noise Ordinance.
Commissioner Holland asked Mr. Watts if he does not feel that at
any time the operation has caused any disturbance in the neighborhood?
Mr. Watts said that he cannot answer that question. Commissioner
Holland said that he was there and the company dId n0t ~now that he was
coming, and that he has stood ~n the other side of the canal and felt
vibration from the blasting. he said th~t he has had complaints from
the Carpenter's Union that they cannot work after ~ certain hour, and
said that he was talking about construction, and the complaints that he
was talking about was that during the construction of the Collier Race
Track, that the trucks were running and the plant was running, some-
times 24-hours a day. He said that he does not believe that the
Excavation Ordinance will let every quarry in the County operate at
will.
Deputy Chief Barnett advised the Board that the NoIse Ordinance is
basically unenforceable. He said that you can hear the beeper on C.R.
951 at night from Macasphalt and the ordinance needs to have an -hour-
put on it.
Commissioner Hasse said that he has received many complaInts about
the trucks going back and forth from Hacasphalt's operation.
Commissioner Holland said that he cannot see why, when someone is
disturbing residents, they should be allo~ed to operate at their

choice. Chairman Pistor agreed, and
limit in the ordinance for this type
Offic. could take care of it.
Commissioner Voss questioned if the Stipulation would eliminate
the suit, and then the Commission revised and passed another ordinance,
which had to do with hours, would today's action n~gate that ordinance?
Attorney Sðunders saId that if the ordinance was amended to impose a
time limit restriction on excavation, there is at least a good legal
argument that that amendment to the ordinance would not apply to a
prior permitted excavation project or quarry operation, but h. said
that the Stipulation does not negate any future ordinanc.s the
Commission may adopt.
Assistant County Attorney CUyler said that if they formed an
ordinance that had decibel levels, whereas a certain decib.l level
constituted a nuisance, they would be subject to that wh.ther they were
operating at four o'clock in the afternoon or evening.

Commissioner Voss instructed the staff to research the ordinance
and com. up with an ordinance that is workable regarding sound.
Commissioner Holland said that he would like to see the Attorney's
Offic. directed to res.arch the original agr.ement with Macaspahlt, or
whoever was the original company, to see if they have complied with the
original agreement in the PUD, because it was not the n.ighbors that
were complaining about access; it was the fire department when they had
severe fires in the Golden Gate area.

Mr. Watts said that during the time of the fir.s Macasphalt did

everything to be a good neighbor in that area.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
february 25, 1986, as evIdenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider a proposed ordinance
regarding mandatory solid waste collection.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that he is contemplating
adoption of the mandatory solid wast. ordinance as quickly as possible
and, in conjunction with that, a thorough revie~ of the rates charged
by the three franchise haulers in the County.
Public Works "'dministrative Assistant Griscom showed video tapes
of various areas throughout the County that have illegal dumping.
Commissio~er Pistor questioned if any names were found on any of
the material in the illegal dumps, to which ~r. Griscom stated that
some corr.spondence was identifi.d by address labels but that is not
sufficient grounds for prosecution. He stated that there has to be an
eye witnuõs to the actual act of dumping. He noted that the County has
a program where one full time deputy tries to catch and prosecute
people that are illegally dumping. He stated that there are
approximately one to two convictions per month, noting that this
program has been going on for about two years. He noted that these
pictures wvre taken on private property and it is a zoning violation.

....sistant County Manager Dorrill stated that the extent of illegal
dumping is wid. spr.ad through~ut the County and it is not a problem
that is only in one community. He stated that the reason for mandatory
collection is to prevent illegal dumping and improper dumping. He
stated that ~ndatory collection requires three polley decisions, one
being to define the districts that are to be included in any
consideratIon for mandatory collection. He stated that there would
have to be an analysis of the rat.s and the fees that are charged. R.
stated that the seconi policy decision is to determine the extent of
services to be included in mandatory collection, which are residential,
commercial and industrial wIth a definition for each. He noted that
the third policy decIsion involves funding and billing for the service.
H. stated that this could be done by ad valorem taxes, special
assessments on the tax roll, special assessments individually, or
special billing by the franchise haulers or the County.
Assistant County Attorney Weigel stated that the basis of the
ordinance is to avoid littering in the County ~nd to provide for the
public health, safety and welfare and also to provide a commonality of
the waste stream within the County so that there is not a chance for
continued problems of litter through the County. He stated that the
ordinance creates 3 municipal benefit units which match what is
currently the franchise service areas. He said that the ordInance
provides for residential, commercial and intustrial cOllection. He
stated that there is a trust fund established by this ordinance for
each municipal benefit unit and the funds ttat are collected are
clearly earmarked and held for the payments of the cost for the
services provided for in that benefit unit. He noted that waste must
be packaged properly to be picked up and service for residential units
cannot be terminated, but service to comm~rcial units mAY be terminated
as provided by this ordinance. He noted that penalties in this
ordinance are separate from the violation of non-payment. He noted
that the ordinance provides for a $500 fine or 60 days incarceration,
or both, for illegally getting rid of the ~aste in a manner that is
contradictory to the ordinance. He noted that there are exemptions
provided for in the ordinance for people th,t have a permit and a
proper vehicle to haul such waste materials.

County Attorney Saunders stated that un~er this ordinance a single
faaily resid.nce can still co~p~st. eat.rial, but if the mat.rial is
going to be discarded it will have to be pic(ed up by a franchi..
hauler and the charges for that pickup service will appear on the tax
bill. He noted that on a commerical constru:tion site, this ordinance
does not change the existing law that permits, under existing County
ordinances, contractors to bury material on =onstructia~ sites as long
as that material is inert material as defined in the ordinance which is
defined as brick, block, concrete, rock, sto~e, earth and sand
.ssentially free from conta~ination of oth.r types of combustible waste
and capable of serving as a fill ~aterial without harm to grounðwater
quality. He noted that the original definition of inert materials was
changed by the Solid W~ste Advisory Committe~ and he would recommend
that this change be approved. He stateð that under certain circum-
stances under existing County ordinances, burning permits are avail-
able. He stated that on a construction site the owner or the
contractor is able to haul the material t~ a~ approved County facility
pursuant to a haulers permit or an exemption permIt, or the contractor
or owner would have to utilize the services ,f a franchis.d hauler and
would have to contract and pay the commercial rate for that service.
He stated with regards to an on-going commer=ial establishment, the
owner has two choices; one being to apply for an exemptIon permit and
haul the material to an approved County facility on his own or to
contract with a franchise hauler for the pick-up and d.livery of that
material. He stated that another example would be in a farming
situation, where a farmer can still bury material or burn mat.rial on
his property if p.rmitted under .xisting law or it can be hauled to the
approved facility himself or contract with a franchised hauler. He
reported that the commercial and residential rates to be charged for
the solid waste pick-up service will be set by the Board at advertised
public hearings.
Dr. Stokes, Chairman of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, stat~d
that the committee has worked with the County staff for about a year on
the question of mandatory collection, adding that they have been given
repeated drafts of the ordinance to review and they have given their
input. I~ stated that as a result of the commIttee's actions, a number
of changes have been made and the Committee now believes that in view
of this complex and pressing matter, the ordinance has now been
developed to a stage that it can be recammended to the Soard and to the

people of the County for enactDent.
County Attorney Saunders stated that he ~uld like to thank the
Solid waste Advisory Committ.ee for their time and efforts in helping to
prepare this ordinance.
The following people spok. in favor of mandatory trash collection,
citing the desperate need to protect the groundwater quality and to
cl.an up the environment and the County as there is too much illegal
du::tping:
Kathleen Ennis Vi Barclay
John Cash.ll Chester CO_back
Charlotte Westman
Hr. Glen Thornton stat.d that h. is in favor of ~ndatory trash
collection, but the ordinance does not cover palm limbs, etc., noting
that these items would still have to be bagged and people will not do
this. He stated that they will haul it out to the woods and dump it.
ea stated that this ordinance 1. only to take care of half the trash
and it should be done the sa.e way as the City of Naples do.s It.
County Attorney Saunders stated that the ordinance indicates that
there is unlimit.d pIckup of all garbage and solid waste as long as it
is properly containerized and containers are not to exceed 32 gallons,
or in sealed plastic bags or tied in bundles not exceeding four feet in
length.
Solid Waste Direct~r Fahey stat.d that the franchise agreement
that exists is limited according to weight and size of material that
they will pick up in order to prot.ct the health of their p.ople.
Commissioner Pistor stated that Mr. Thornton has a good suggestion
and they should look into picking up material as the City of Naples
does, addIng that it is something that should be considered in the
franchise negotiations.
Mr. George Keller stated that he would like to know what the
annual fee will be per family, to which Commissioner Pistor stated that
no decision has been made on this issue yet. Hr. Keller indicated that
these things should be done before an ordinance is pas.ed.
Hr. Joe Grimm questioned what justification there is for a
mandator) trash collection ordinance, to which County Attorney Saund.rs
stated that when films were taken, newspapers from Collier County wore
in the waste, addr.sses of residents in Collier County were also found
in the waste, and the Sheriff has gotten several convictions of Collier
County residents dumping waste which Is conclusive evidence that at
least a portion of this waste is generated in Collier County.

Mr. Grimm stated that a franchi.e. could be dumping this on the
.ides of roads Instead paying to dump it ht th~ landfill.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that tre worñ~ arca for dumping is
in I~mokalee, addIng that the franchisee in Immokalee would not dump
the trash in the area where the trash is collecting and no one from any
other part of Collier County is going to go to Immokale. to dump their
trash.
Assistant County I13nager Dorrill stated that the fact that there
is garbage illegally dumped allover the County i. an indication that
there is a problem. He stated that a regulated utility, which the
franchise haulers are, have their fee determined by two things; an
element of their cost and a return ~n their investment and in order for
them to prove their cost, they are subject to audit. He .tated that if
they are dumping illegally in the woods, there i. no way they can sh~w
the cost associated with properly dumping their garbage and the needed
receipts from the County landfill.
In answer to Mr. Grimm, County Attorney Saunders stated that if
there is a single-family residence that is occupied or capable of being
occupied or has a -C.O-, that residence will .till be a......d ev.n if
the residents are not in the County for su~stantial period. of time,
including an entire year.
Mr. Grimm questioned if individuals haul their own waste will the
tax still be levied, to which County Attorney Saunders stat.d that the
exemption can only be acquired by the commercial operator, but all
residential units will be a.sessed.
County Attorney Saund.rs stated that at the meeting of the Solid
Waste Advisory Committee, the issue of burning waste was discussed and
there has been a task force set up to study what can b. done about
burning, with recommendations to be brought forward in the futur.. He
noted that this would affect the burning ordinance that already exists
