RESOLUTIOR 86-22 RE PETITION FDPO-86-V-l, VANDERBILT BEACH MARINA. RE ~
VARIANCE '1'0 EMPLOY A LESSER DEGREE OF FLOODPROOPIRG OR PROPERTY 1.'1' 179
COMMERCE STREET, VANDERBILT BEACH - AOOPTEI>
'. ,.
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
January 26, 1986, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition FDPO-86-V-l,
filed by Vanderbilt Beach Marina, requesting approval of a variance to
e~ploy a lesser degree of floodproofing than that normally required by
the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance on property described as 179
Commerce Street, Vanderbilt Beach.
Planning/Zoning Director pettrow stated that a prospective builder
of a non-residential structur~ has, by right, the option of
floodproofing it to a watertight standard as an alternative to
elevating it above the lOO year flood plain, adding that by a letter
dated 11/30/77, the Flood Insurance Administration indicated that in
certain instances a variance could be granted to employ a lesser degree
of floodproofing without subverting the goal. of the Flood Plain
Management Program. He noted that to minimize the potential damage
caused by the entry of flood waters, the owner, Vanderbilt Beach
Marina, will elevate within the building all equipment and fixtures.
He stated that the only activity below the base flood elevation will be
the dry boat storage. He reported that the existing ground elevation
at this time is 5.2' above sea level and the Flood Damage pcevention
Ordinance calls for an elevation of 12' above sea level, adding that
the building is constructed at 6' and the floodproofing requirement is
going to be employed, but at a lesser degree. He noted that Staff has
no objection.
$ommis.ioner Vo.. aoved. seconded by Co..issioner Goodnight and
carr~_d unanimously. that the public hearing be cl0.ed.
Commissioner Goodnight moved. seconded by Com.issioner Voss and
carried unanimously, that Resolution 86-22 re Petition FDPO-86-V-l.
Vanderbilt Beach Karina, be adopted.

WAIVER OF $750 PEE POR KINGDOM RAI.L OP ~OVAH'S WI'1'NESSES - DERIED
February 11, 1986
Mr. Harry Good, Presiding Overßeer of Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's
Witnesses, ntated that he applied for provisional use for a piece of
property on 39th Street sometime ago, adding that because this was
denied, he has acquired a different piece of property and he is now
asking that the provisional use fee of $750 for the new piece of
property be waived.
Deputy Assistant Brangaccio stated that Staff's position is that
when such a petition comes in, whether it was denied or approved, all
the costs for that review are incurred by the County, addin9 that this
pays for the advertising and the preparation time. She stated that
since it is a petition at a different location, it will have to go
through all phases of review, but the Board does have the option of
waiving the fee.
Commissioner Pistor aoved, seconded by Commi.sioner Vose and
carried unanimously, that the waiver of the $750 fee for Kingdom Hall
of Jehovah's Witnes.e. be denied.

STAPP AUTHORIZED TO OBTAIN APPRAISALS AND SEI.L COUNTY LAND 1.'1' THE

APPRAISALS AND NEGO'1'IA'1'E ACQUISITION ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OP AND
ADJACENT TO IMMOKALEE COURTHOUSE ANNEX; AND BRING BACK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT TO BCC
Mr~. Pat Carroll, Real property Manager, stated that this item
deals with the potential sale and acquisition of land in Immokalee.
She stated that last fall Staff pursued the possible sale of land in
Immok~lee, which was located at the southwest corner of Colorado Avenue
"/
and Second Street and was originally purchased by the Board in 1950 for
use as a Sheriff's su~station and retention area, adding that both
facilities have since been relocated, leavin9 the land vacant. She
stated that as part of staff policy, prier to askin9 for Board approval
t? sell the land, she contacted all departments and constitutional
officers to see if there was a use for the property. She noted that
comments were received from Sheriff Rogers, Clerk Reagan and the P~rks
, Recreation Department, noting that the comments were valid and they
believed that the land should not be sold until other lands were
purchÐsed or furnished for expansion of the Courthouse in Immokalee.
She stated, therefore, that this issue was not pursued further until

their concerns could be addressed. She reported that it has been
brought to the COunty's attention that land south of and adjacent to
the Immokalee Courthouse Annex is for sale and contains approximately
2.56 acres which would provide for future expansion of governmental
facilities in Immo~alee. She stated that since the acquisition of the
addition~l land aódressed the concerns of the above-referenced people,
she feels that it is appropriate at this time, that the Board consider
the sale of this land. She stated that Staff recommend~tion is th~t
the Board consider the sale of the land at the corner of Colorado
Avenue and Second Street; that the Board authorize st~ff to pursue
negotiations with the owner of the land south of and adjacent to the
Immokalee Courthouse Annex; and to approve an appraiser to apprai~e
both lands, which will assist in the negotiations for the purcha,~ as
well as for the sale of the property. She stated that if the County
acquires the additional land, the revenue will not be taken from the
General Fund, but from the Capital Improvement Program.
Commissioner Holland questioned if there is any need or ~.
justification in the purchase of the property adjacent to the present
courthouse facility, to which Mrs. Carroll replied affirmatively,
adding that she in the process of documentinq this and before a
contract is presented to the Board, there will be a report as to the
needs of each agency during the next 3 to 5 years in Im.okalee.
Budget Director Zalka stated that there is an opportunity in the
budget process to develop a capital budget, adding that there are five
year plans based on an assessment of needs. which totals around $12
million and the funds are not available for all those needs, so each
year priorities are set. She noted that she would propose that any·
major purchase of land be determined during the budget process "
sessions, adding that she would recommend that the land be sold and the'
money put aside for future purchase, but not to buy the land until the
budget process has been completed in ord~r to compare all the needs
that are competing with each other.
Commissioner Holland questioned how much of the money in capital
improvements has been allocated, to Which Budget Director Zalka stated
that all the money has been allocated, adding that there is a small .'~
reserve of less than $50,000 in 'case a project runs into a problem! but
there is no excess money.
Commissioner Holland stated that he could see the possible need
for the land, but he is sure t~at the seller is not going to w~it to

held.
Commission~r Goodnight stated that there is another buyer for the
property'but the COunty is getting first option on it, adding that the
f,"
suggestion was maðe that any money that is made off the piece of land
at Coloraðo Avenue be put into an account to help with any building
that is going to be needed in Immokalee. She stated that she would
like to see the properties appraised and negotiate with the present
owner and then come back to the Board.
Commissioner VO.. moved, seconded by Coaaissioner Has.e and
, carrieð unanimously, that Staff be authorized to obtain appraisals and
sell County land at the corner of Colorado Avenue and Second Street in
Im~okalee; obtain appraisals and negotiate acquisition on property
located south of and adjacent to Immokalee Courthouse Annex; anð to
bring back a purchase agreement to the Board.

TO CONSTRUCT AN ACCESS ROAD '1'0 SAN MARCO PA1Ut - APPROVED SUBJECT TO
STIPULATIONS
Public Works Administrator Ruck stated that the objective of this
ite. is to approve the conceptual plan for acquiring Economic
Development Transportation Funds to construct an access road to San
Marco P~rk and approve the completion of construction plans for said .~
access road. He stated that the owner of a ten acre tract of
industrial land located off U.S. 41 has requested that the BCC make
application to the Department of Commerce of the state of Florida for
acqui~ing Economic Development Transportation Funds. He noted that the
I
grant of these funds would be for the engineering and construction of
an access road for the industrial land and certain other lands that
were rezoned under Ordinance 78-61. He stated that the Department of
Commerce, Chapter 8-6, Economic Development Transportation Fund has
carta in funds available for construction of transportation facilities
that are necessary for an industrial project, and funding for this type
of project is contingent upon certaih special requirements of the local
governing body as follows. the local governmental body must agree to
accep~ the future maintenance of the proposed roadway; the local
governmental body must certify to the State of Florida that all
necessary permits required by the industrial ,facility have been
granted; and the local governmental body is liable for cost overruns of

Depart~ent has reviewed the request for application and would recommend
that the conceptual plan be considered for approval with the stipula-
tion that the application for Economic Development Transportation Funds
not be completed until all information has been submitted with appro-
priate guarantees to protect the County's interests and that the
construction plans meet the Engineering Department's approval. He
reported that the fiscal impact on this project would be zero, adding
that conceptual approval of the project is being requested and all

In answer to COmmissioner Pistor, Mr. Kuck indicated that if the
Board decided to proceed with this project, the County will require a
security bond to more than cover the cost of the improvements.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Basick, the Petitioner,
stated that there is a de-acceleration lane going into the Krehling
redi-mix property which wo~!~ be extended, adding that he already has
the permits for this.
Mr. Kuck stated that these funds are only available to promote
industrial and commercial to provide jobs for the community and the
County, adding that the County has no control on how the grant money is
made available.
Commissioner Voss stated that the money will be used in another
County if Collier County does not get it.
Commissioner Holland stated that he agrees with Commissioner Voss,
adding that it will not cost thé County anything and the money will be

BID '86-932, GOLDEN GATE ESTATES CABAL ACCESS RAMPS - AWARDED TO
APAC-FLORIDA, INC. 1M '1'HE AMOUNT OF $58,122 - APPROVED. STAPP
INSTRUCTED '1'0 MONITOR ACCESS RAMPS
Legal notice having been published in the 'Naples Daily News on
January 10, 1986, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, bids were received for Bid '86-932, Golden Gate Estates
Canal Access Ramps until 2r30 P.M., January 29, 1986.
Public Works Administrator Kuc~ stated that the tabulation of the
three bids received is attached to the Executive Summary and the low
bid is considerably more than the budgeted amount, so Water Management
staff prioritized the work required and based on strategic location of
ramps, proposes a negotiated contract which is described in a depart-
Dent memo. He noted that he originally too~ bids on 36 different
locations and the low bid came out around $113,000. He stated that Mr.
Boldt has prioritized the list and has come up with 17 locations that
he is recommending and the cost of the ramps at those 17 locations is a
little over $56,000. He stated that there is $45,000 budgeted in the
1981 Water Managœment Capital ImproveDent Fund and an additional
$15,000 is available in the Cocohatchee Fund 325-113-2972. He noted
tha t he.; would li Ice the Board' s feelings on letting the public use these '..
ramps for boat access for fishing purposes, adding that the County
would assume additional liability and maintenance. He stated that he
needs direction with regard to this matter.
"'~ommissioner Holland stated that public would not really be kept
I
from using the ramps.
Commissioner Voss stated that if the ramps are put in, it i.
public' money being used, and therefore, the public should have access
to it.
Hr. Kuck stated that it could be done on a trial basis and if it
became a nuisance, he would come back before the Board and ask to
prohibit the use of the ramps by the public.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that there is coverage
under the existing coverage for personal, property and liability
damage, adding that if there is additional liability incurred, the use
of the ramps could be prohibited also.

Mr. Kuck stated that some of the ramps will be concrete and some
will be limerock.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that the primary reason
for the ramps is that the current weed harvesting progra~ does not
afford the County an easy ability to move the large machines around,
adding that this will help the situation a great deal.
Mr. George Keller, President of Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that the idea of putting the ramps in for weed control is
excellent, but he can see a problem with making these canals
recreational waterways. He noted that a lot of people that live along
the canals are going to object because there is going to be speed~ng.
excessive noise and littering. }'
In answer to Commissioner Voss regarding airboats, County Attorney
Saunders stated that there is an enforcement problem with regard to
airboats, adding that speed limit control signs could be put i~" the
canals and horsepower limits on ~otors, but enforcement would be a
I"ightmare.
~puty Chief Barnett stated that enforcement would be difficult
and when people bought those lots, they knew that they were not private
canals, adding that they are owned by the public and they are
recreational canals now.
Mr. Reller stated that these canals are also water storage canals
and if boats are allowed, it is going to create pollution.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that Staff recommendation
will not change as this is being done for practical maintenance reasons
for the canals, the flooding, and the water management control systlm.
He stated that if problems develop, Staff will be back before the Board
discussing restrictions on the canals.
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Women Voters,
stated that the intention of Staff to maintain the canals is excellent,
but there is a proposal from the Big Cypress Basin Board to the Board
with regard to them taking over the maintenance of these canals.
Assistant Cou~ty Manager Dorrill stated that the Big Cypress Basin
Board has expressed a desire to assume ultimate responsibility for ,,~
primary canal systems and none of t~e residential canals within the
Estates area are identified in their transition plan as primary.

AND SUGGEST LOTS THE COUNTY WANTS DEEDED; SUBMIT FOLLOW-UP REPORT '1'0
BOARD REGARDING NEGOTIATING WITH AVATAR FOR CASR IN LIEU OF 1,100 ACRES
Mrs. Pat Carroll, Real Property Manager, stated that this item
deals with the agreement between ~ollier County and Avatar Properties,
Inc. in which Avatar is committed to donate certain lands to Collier
County, adding that these lands arp. to be used for recreation,
utilities, and community services and in addition, it will also provide
a source of revenue to fund improvements with Golden Gate Estates. She
ståted that in a meeting on January 15, 1986, Mr, Dennis Getmann, who
is the attorney for Avatar Properties, stated that Avatar would be
interested in working with the County on a cash settlement, thus,
buying back their commitment to donate the land to Collier County. She
stated that Staff was interested in this for all the land south of
Alligator Alley, adding that there are certain merits to considering a
cash settlement for some of the properties north of Alligator Alley.
She reported that if the County decides to accept the lands, then a
viable land management and marketing program can be put together that
will benefit Golden Gate Estates, but it is evident that a cash
settlement has some certain inherent benefits and this is what Staff is
requesting that the Board consider this date. She stated that the
final outcome of any decision will be based on reaching an acceptable
agre~,ent with Avatar and if an acceptable mo~etary settlement is not
readied with Avatar then t".le County would i~mediately pursue the
transfer of lands.
Commissioner pistor questioned what values are on the properties
in the first phase, to which Mrs. Carroll stated that she could not
guess the values. She reported that she further recommends that the
County hire an appraiser, but instead of having each individual lot
appraised, the appraiser be asked to do a ~arket analysis per unit in
the Estates and then staff can use that market analysis to apply it to
the actual acreage that has been offered by Avatar, which would give a
basis for negotiating a caßh settlement. She reported that this would
be expensive but not as costly as if each lot was appraised separately.
Commissioner Voss stated that a cash settlement is certainly in

order and hiring an appraiser to give an average value per lot is
wortnwhile to give a basis for arriving at a reasonable cash settle-
ment.
Commissioner Holland questioned if the property that is south of
Alligator Alley is th~ land that the State is trying to acquire, to
which Mrs. Carroll replied affirmatively.
Commissioner Holland stated that he would like to see an offer
from Avatar and then have an appraiser look at the offer to see if it
is worth it.
Mrs. Carroll stated that she could make this recommendation to Mr.
GetDann, but he specifically requested that the County make the ~rst
offer.
Mrs. Carroll stated that she would also recommend that the County
identify specific properties that the County needs, adding that. part of
the commitment is for right-of-way and there are also some pieces of
properties along canals that would provide future recreational uses
that are in ten acre tracts, and there is also a fifty acre tract that
would be advantageous for the County to keep. She noted that she would
like to go through the list and identify properties that the County can
use.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that Avatar had stated
that they would allow the County to pick and choose from the bulk of
the properties, adding that the fifty acre site that is adjacent to the
North Golden Ga~e City property and is in the vicinity of Randall Blvd.
is an example of a property that the County may want to record and qwn.
Mrs. Carroll stated that she has visited all the sites in Phase II
and III.
Assistant County Attorney Cuyler stated that Mr. Getmann has left
open a possibility that if the County finds it to be advantageous to
the County and Avatar finds it to be advantageous to them, that it
leaves another door open for the County instead of taking the property
and marketing it through the County, it may be better to have a cash
settlement. He stated that no one can t~lk intelligently about what
the cash settlement is worth until there is a professional appraisal
done on the property.

Assistant County Attorney. Cuyler stated that the property has been
evaluated and Staff was moving forward with the choosing of the
property as to what the Coun~ would accept or would not accept, adding

that Mr. Getmann brought this po.sibilit¥ up and it may be something
that the Board would like to investigate.
Commissioner Voss stated that this is the same thing as though the
1,100 acres is sold ~ck to Avatar, adding that he would rather have
the cash than the land.
Commissioner Pistor stated that there is a large portion of that
land that could not be used by the County and, ,therefore, the County
would have to go into the real estate business to try and sell those
pieces of property. He stated that this is definitely something that
should be considered.
Commissioner Holland stated that in 19B3, it was indicated by Mr.
Getmann that the property was worth $3 to $4 million dollars and he
questioned what it would be worth this date? Commissioner Holland
stated that he thinks it would be worthwhile to find out what Avatar
would want for it. He questioned if the County has only received title
to 35 acres?
Assistant County Attorney Cuyler stated that they have sent the
County a deed to Phase I and the deed for Phase II has been received,
but it has not been recorded because the County did not feel that all
the properties that were listed for Phase II were something that the
County wanted.
Commissioner Hasse stated that Avatar will want the fifty acres as
it is o~e of the better pieces of property.
AS,sistant County Manager Dorrill stated that Staff wants to
determine if the Board is willing for Staff to solicit proposals to
determine what a market study will cost and then bring that study back
to thé Board and at the same time, Staff wants to show the Board which
prop~rties are worth keeping. He stated that if Staff pursued the
marketing approach, they would bring back a report indicating what the
land is worth.
Commissioner Hasse questioned if the monies from the sale of
properties or a cas~ settlement would go to the Golden Gate Estates, to
which Assistant County Manager OOrrill stated that it would be put in a
trust fund similar to the CAC trust fund~.
Assistant County Attorney Cuyler stated that the small lots may be
of worth to Avatar as they have a marketing system in place and the
development is going far out into Golden Gate Estates and it is being
determined that ther~ is a market for those types of properties. He
stated that Mr. Getmann indicated that if the County wanted to accept

certain properties out of the offer and deal with a cash settle~ent and
keep certain properties, he would be open to negotiations on that as
well.
...
Mr. George Keller, President of Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that he would suggest that the motion not be that the County
hire appraisers, but a5~ the Staff to open it up for bids and come back
with a price for what it is going to cost to do this job. He stated
that there are a number of trust funds associated with the Estates and
any money that is received for the sale of these properties should go
in the trust fund, but the public has not been advised as to how the
money is being spent and what the balances are and the people of the
Estates have a right to have a published report of how the trust funds
are spent, where they are spent, and what the balances are. He J6ted
that some of this POney is being spent to purchase equipment. He
stated th3t it would ~e a good idea to put it in the newspapers, to let
people know where the DOney was spent and what the balances ar~ once a
year.
Commissioner Voss DOVed, seconded by Coaaissioner Hass. and
carried unaniaously, that Staff be authorized to solicit bid proposals
from appraisers interested in preparing a market analysis for Golden
Gate Estates area; review the list of land. offered by Avatar and
suggest particular lots the COunty wants deeded; and submit a follow-up
report to the Board regarding negotiations with Avatar Propertiee, Inc.
for a cash settlement in lieu of 1,100 acres or the reaaining
properties after an appraiser has been selected,
Commissioner Holland stated that after the appraisals come in, he
would like to see the Com.ission negotiate with Avatar Properties,
noting that it would be in the best interest of the public.
Commissioner Pistor stated that Staff needs to do the preliminary
work first and if the Commission wants to do the final negotiating, it
would be in order.

Production Park MSTU and execution of the agreement for the same. He
stated that the agreement provides for the basic services to be
provided in a study and report phase, a final design phase, a bidding
and negotiating phase, and a construction phase. He noted that at the
present time, he is asking for approval for the study and report phase
only, which would be for the water, sewer, roadway, and drainage and
that the County be provided an assessment roll, also. He reported that
since the price has been negotiated, there is á possibility that the
Hubschman's could take over this Brea for the sanitary sewer collection
and the wastewater treatment. He noted that he talked with wilson,
Miller, Barton, SOll & Peek to see if there would be any deduction on
the negotiated cost of $90,000 and they have indicated that for the
st~dy report phase there would not be any reduction. He stated that
after talking with Fiscal Officer Giles, it has been reco~mended that
the County obtain an opinion from Bond Counsel Tom Giblin on the tax-
free status for the financing of this project, adding thAt last week
Mr. Giblin stated that he felt that it would qualify for the tax·free
status. He stated that if the agreement is approved, he would like it
to be contingent upon getting a letter from Mr. Giblin indicating that
the project would have a tax-free status.
Commissioner Voss stated that this cost will be paid from the
MSTU, but that money will not come in until next year and, therefore,
the money would have to be borrowed until that time.
PJblic Wo~ks Administrator Ruck stated that the $90,000 would be
borrowéd from the local institutions and the taxes would be received in
November, 1986, which would be used to pay back the loan.
I~iscal Officer Giles stated that beyond the study itself, the
"/
project is an industrial park and there is specific mention from smith
Barney in discussing the new House Bill 38-38 that is going before the
Senate for tax reform that the financing for industrial development
parks may no longer be tax free. He stated that if the study cannot
lead to a project, the Commission may not want to go forward with it.
commissioner pistor s~ated that bonds could be obtained that are
not tax free. Fiscal Officer Giles stated that then there are other
problems involved such as, if the bonds are not tax free, is it a
public purpose that is being served? He said that he would like Mr.
Giblin to comment on that also. He questioned that in the event it is
not tax free, can the project go forward under the State constitution?
County Attorney Saunders stated that there is a real problem with

Counties issuing taxable bonds and that issue would have to be
resolved.
Fiscal Officer Giles stated that there is no problem in approving
this agreement subject to getting the tax-free opinion.
Commissioner Voss stated that if the bonds are not tax free, the
interest rates will be higher, but the people still want this project
to go forward.
Fiscal Officer Giles stated that whether this government can incur
debt that is not tax free is a legal question.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that he is in complete
agreement with Fiscal Offic~r Giles and the recommendation has been
amended to indicate that Staff only wants to proceed contingent on
getting the legal opinion from bond counsel regarding whether or/hot
assessment projects will be safe and viable for the purposes of selling
bonds that would be paid for through front foot assessments in this
case.
..
....
Commissioner Pistor stated that if the Tax Reform Bill is passed
and becomes effective July 1, 1986, and the County starts the project
prior to that tine, there should not be any problem.
Fiscal Officer Giles stated that Mr. Giblin feels that this
particular project, because of its proximity to a populated area and
because of the multi number of investors involved, will probably be
tax-free, but he wants to see the documentation on it so that he can
express an opinion. He stated that he is simply saying that maybe the
Board should wait for that opinion before a contract is entered into.
Public Works Administrator Ruc~ stated that he sent a complete '
. .
package on the project to Mr. Giblin so that he could give his opinion
on the project. He stated that he should have an answer back from Mr.
Giblin within the next week or two.
Commissioner Holland questioned if the funding or bonding process
has changed since this district was created?
Fiscal Officer Giles stated that this has not become law yet,
adding that the Senate has to adopt it or make changes, but the Rouse
has already adopted it. He stated that the effective date is January
l, 1986, and this date may not even hold or apply, which is why he
feels that an opinion from Mr. Giblin is needed.
Mr. Harry HUbschman, representing East Naples Water System., Inc.,
stated that Mr. KUCK has addressed his concerns, which is that if the

on it in writing before it is brought up for a vote, be~ause he has
mixeð emotions a. ~o whether .ome pe~ple can be excluðed, adding that

County Attorney Saunders stated that he would provide a written
opinion, adding that there can be ~andatory garbage collection in
various parts of the COunty and various parts of the County can also be
excluded. He stated that whether this is done as a matter of policy is
somethin~ that the Board has to deter.ine but, from a legal standpoint,
various districts can be set up that are going to be subject to
mandatory collection. "
Commissioner Hasse questioned if this can be done through t~'Tax
Collector or not, to which County Attorney Saunders stated that this ia
.omething that will have to be worked out, adding that there is a
Statute that pcrmi~s these special a.sessments to be attached t? the
