I asked for an eight foot wall and they refused saying it was too expensive. At the Planning Board Meetings they were told to make the walls 8 feet tall. We also asked for an escrow account be created by them to help with paying for future traffic calming.They refused that as well. In the last few years Ridge Street has gone from being a dead end residential street to a traffic throughway.There are over 22 children who live on this street and are in danger boarding their school buses due to the tremendous amount of traffic using Ridge as a shortcut between US 41 and Goodlette Road. Couple that with the recent flooding on Ridge and we can't handle additional traffic that would be generated by a new larger shopping center. Please read the proposal over and talk to staff about this zoning petition change.The 75 foot tall office building will create less traffic snd noise than a new 17,000 sq ft shopping center.Thank-you.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend this meeting as we did the previous meetings in front of the Development Council. Many of us attended several of those meetings along with independent meetings with both Sandbanks and the Council. Apparently they don't or haven't given much consideration to the traffic as the study they have is old and only for the office center. If they want this to go through they need to set aside enough money to cover 4 of those Solar Speed Signs. Like the ones there are on the Naples High School Street. I think that is 22"d That street has: • 20 miles per hour because of the school . o Ours is 30 and no one goes that slow.We have about 20 kids at the bus stop and living on the street. • NON passing double lines o Ours has passing lines(I got passed going through the deep water last week) • They also have the speeding monitor signs o We don't even have a stop sign • And excellent police monitoring of speeders. I know because I use that street all the time to go from Goodlette to Walgreens. o We call on the speeders all the time and it is getting violent • I am not 100%sure on this one but I think they don't allow trailer truck traffic o Our of course allows everything I have all the information on the solar signs and am trying to get the pricing. I have been on the waiting list for a quote. I will scan them to you tomorrow so you will know which ones we are talking about We realize that you can't make them do this, but the amount of traffic that will be added to the street which is already like a highway will be unacceptable. When the Cube Smart got put in we had no warning and while they use a Goodlette Road address,the ONLY way in there is through Ridge Street from both directions.

Specific objections are enumerated below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on 05 June 2018 at the North Naples Church was inadequate and should be disqualified as a valid meeting for the approval process. Reasons for disqualification are presented below: • Verbal interaction(questions from attendees and answers from representatives) was frequently inaudible. • Answers to questions were, in some instances,assumptive(prior knowledge of proposed project details). • No hard-copy handouts were provided(e.g. plans, sketches,mock-ups of the proposed housing units). • Some answers were contradictory(e.g. traffic studies). 2. Housing Unit Density. The proposed housing unit density(375 units with at least 2 residents per unit resulting in a minimum of 2 POVs(privately owned vehicles) per unit is not in accordance with the original, historical zoning. 3. Housing Unit Height. The proposed height of planned housing units(4 stories over one story of parking giving a final height of 5 stories)is not in keeping with the current height restrictions of 40 feet for retail and 50 feet for commercial. The PUD calls for 60 feet with embellishments which theoretically could be 65 feet total. Most Pine Ridge owners' lots that back onto Goodlette-Frank Road and many interior lots were densely wooded in 1 the past providing a buffer against high winds (e.g. hurricanes,tornadoes). However, Hurricane Irma(2017) clearly demonstrated protection from dense stands of native trees can no longer be assumed present as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion Ratio(square footage of commercial housing). It remains unclear why it is necessary to include the conversion ratio in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to construct 375 housing units by a change of use, building on empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings,then that is the plan and no conversion ratio is necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units,them the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Genuine concern remains that at a later date this conversion ratio can be invoked to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (>375). 5. Increased Motor Vehicular Traffic. The above-referenced PUD application proposes adding an assumed 750-900 POVs for assumed for multiple trips per day and frequently at concentrated times of the day and at one of the busiest intersections in the area(Pine Ridge Road and Goodlette-Frank Road). Increased traffic will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection,but also Panther Lane, which is owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students,parents and teachers, North Naples church parishioners and the Village School students,parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Road to head south. Also, adversely affected will be Pine Ridge homeowners and guests exiting Center Street making U-turns to hed north on Goodlette-Frank Road,Autumn Woods homeowners and guests crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to turn south and everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pind Ridge Road heading south on Goodlette (4 lanes of traffic!),the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Road and anyone else attempting negotiate the already existing excessive volume of motor vehicular traffic on both roads. In summary,we are vehemently opposed to deviating from the existing carefully considered, discussed,and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. Our objections are to the proposed height and housing density and traffic density of the proposed project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of Collier County Commissioners. Overall,we believe that approval and execution of the project proposed the above-referenced project will exacerbate existing traffic issues in the area of the Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection,negatively impact property values and the currently existing highly-desirable lifestyle in Pine Ridge, and reduce the safety of current Pine Ridge residents. 2 • In advance,please accept our thanks for your time and consideration.

If the zoning change is approved, all of us living in this area are very concerned about the impact that 400 apartments would have on the traffic, schools and possibly water supply in the area. Please, help us ensure the zoning change is not approved. Sincerely, Giselle M. Iturregui-Rossello GoodnerAngela From: Shelley&Jim Payer <tightlines10@comcast.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 10:41 AM To: FialaDonna; SolisAndy; SaundersBurt;TaylorPenny; McDanielBill Cc: Ice Payer Subject: Proposed zoning change for Northeast Corner of Goodlette and Pine Ridge Rds Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Commissioners, I am writing to you today in opposition to the proposed zoning change at the northeast corner of Goodlette and Pine Ridge Roads. These are Petition # PL201600002360/CP-2016.3 Goodlette/PineRidge Commercial Infill Subdistrict (GPMA) and PL20160002306, Pine Ridge Commons PUD (PUDA) submitted by Trail Boulevard LLP. My husband and I live at 141 Caribbean Rd. in the Pine Ridge Estates Subdivision. This petition would change the zoning from Commercial to Residential with a proposed 400 unit Apartment complex consisting of 4 stories over ground floor parking. Our reasons for objecting to this proposal are as follows: 1. We are all aware of the current traffic issues on Pine Ridge Rd. This 400 Unit Housing will compound them substantially. 2. We are concerned about the water issue. A number of residents in Pine Ridge Estates have already had wells run dry as a result of our current drought. This proposal will strain our water resources further, perhaps to the breaking point. 3. Panther Lane is essentially an access road for the School and not a through Street. 4. The United Methodist Church and the Village School are adjacent to this property and cause traffic issues during school start and close times as well as before and after Sunday Services. Additional traffic may necessitate Sheriff's Office personnel to direct traffic on a daily basis. 5. In order to go North on Goodlette Rd when coming out of Pine Ridge Estates on Center Street, it is necessary to make a U-Turn at the cut out for the School. This is challenging at all times, but would be made nearly impossible with the increased traffic inherent in this zoning change. 6. 400 residential units will place a natural strain on the Pine Ridge Firehouse. 7. Increased traffic on Goodlette Rd will necessitate additional traffic lights probably at Autumn Woods entrance and or Center Street. 8. An additional 400 Unit Residential complex will put a strain on both Seagate Elementary School and Pine Ridge Middle School with a large influx of new students. 9. Pine Ridge Rd at US41 backs up all the way to East Rd at numerous times during the day. This proposed change will stretch that further. This parcel is zoned Commercial currently. We believe this is the proper use for the space and that the zoning should not be changed and that it will not be beneficial to our communities and the people who pass through this section of town on a daily basis. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Shelley S. Payer GoodnerAngela From: keene7777@aol.com Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2018 10:39 AM To: SolisAndy I am against the change in zoning for the NE corner of Goodlette Frank and Pine Ridge Road.

This PUD calls for changing the use from 'commercial and retail', to 'mixed use-commercial, retail and 375 housing units (planned as rentals). The developer held a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM) on Tuesday June 5 at North Naples Church, but this did little to allay the primary concerns. Should you also be concerned about this development and wish to voice your opinion we have provided a short text which you may want to copy, paste and personalize. The mail should be sent to all members of the Planning Commission (PUD and Approval are slated for Thursday, June 21 meeting), and all County Commissioners (final approval slated for Tuesday, July 10th Board of County Commissioners' meeting) - names and email addresses provided below. Caroline Martino &the PRCA Board Dear Re: Pine Ridge Commons- PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 I am writing to voice my concerns and objections to the above referenced Planned Unit Development application, as noted below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or'mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location -375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio -square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette- Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd -and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project.

The community came to be informed,we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density-Proposed housing unit density at this location-375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40'for retail and 50'for commercial. PUD calls for 60'with embellishments (65'total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. Do not turn us in to the next Fort Lauderdale. 4. Conversion ratio-square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings,then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units,then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). Most of that space is unused at it is.So what additionally is the developer giving up???Nothing. 5.Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding(assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed)frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area.This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd,Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic),the Fire Station on Pine Ridge Rd-and the list goes on. You are planning to build a multi-deck parking garage at Clam Pass Park.This project does not take in to consideration that nor the major expansions happening up Goodlette-Frank at Arthrex and NCH Hospital's adjoining medical buildings going up. 6. Required open/green space standard of 25%has been totally disregarded.The 1.47 acre existing pond does not meet this requirement. IF the project is approved by you,we will ask the federal government and state of Florida to conduct a full NEPA review due to this willful violation of open/green space requirements.We may also reserve the right to hire an environmental/land use planning law firm to challenge your decision should you approve this project that will permanently ruin the character of the neighborhood and surrounding area.We will ask them to take an in- depth review of every decision made on this and the original application by the different county departments and the planning commission.This area was meant to"Be Green," not five stories of cement buildings and parking garages. 7.Our schools will be unnecessarily overburdened,causing a drop in the quality of our children's education.We have children in Sea Gate Elementary,and in two years to start Pine Ridge Middle School. We moved to this neighborhood "For The Schools"and peace, quiet and country feeling. Undoubtably this project will pull down the school test scores and quality of our children's education. In summary,we do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. Our subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing traffic density and environmental short comings of this project.

These are Petition#PL201600002360/CP-2016.3 Goodlette/PineRidge Commercial Infill Subdistrict (GPMA) and PL20160002306, Pine Ridge Commons PUD (PUDA) submitted by Trail Boulevard LLP. My husband and I live at 141 Caribbean Rd. in the Pine Ridge Estates Subdivision. This petition would change the zoning from Commercial to Residential with a proposed 400 unit Apartment complex consisting of 4 stories over ground floor parking. Our reasons for objecting to this proposal are as follows: 1. We are all aware of the current traffic issues on Pine Ridge Rd. This 400 Unit Housing will compound them substantially. 2. We are concerned about the water issue. A number of residents in Pine Ridge Estates have already had wells run dry as a result of our current drought. This proposal will strain our water resources further, perhaps to the breaking point. 3. Panther Lane is essentially an access road for the School and not a through Street. 4. The United Methodist Church and the Village School are adjacent to this property and cause traffic issues during school start and close times as well as before and after Sunday Services. Additional traffic may necessitate Sheriff's Office personnel to direct traffic on a daily basis. 5. In order to go North on Goodlette Rd when coming out of Pine Ridge Estates on Center Street, it is necessary to make a U-Turn at the cut out for the School. This is challenging at all times, but would be made nearly impossible with the increased traffic inherent in this zoning change. 6. 400 residential units will place a natural strain on the Pine Ridge Firehouse. 7. Increased traffic on Goodlette Rd will necessitate additional traffic lights probably at Autumn Woods entrance and or Center Street. 8. An additional 400 Unit Residential complex will put a strain on both Seagate Elementary School and Pine Ridge Middle School with a large influx of new students. 9. Pine Ridge Rd at US41 backs up all the way to East Rd at numerous times during the day. This proposed change will stretch that further. This parcel is zoned Commercial currently. We believe this is the proper use for the space and that the zoning should not be changed and that it will not be beneficial to our communities and the people who pass through this section of town on a daily basis. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Shelley S.

Great idea to have forums like that so voters can hear and see the candidates and balance their ideas and view points all at once. Thank you so much for all this great information on the Pine Ridge Commons project Angela-so much more than was provided at either of the two NIMs I attended !!Just wondering if it's ok to share it with the PRCA Board and Pine Ridge neighbors (and probably beyond). Is this information-and the attachment with the developer's amended application 'in the public domaine' now? I think sharing this would really help everyone with a much better understanding of what is proposed. Please let me know when you can, and meantime,thank you again all the best Caroline On Jul 9, 2018, at 4:37 PM, SolisAndy<Andy.Solis@colliercountyfl.gov>wrote: Oh my goodness, Caroline, I am so sorry to hear your story,that is terrible! My heart is with you in this tragic loss; I am a dog owner also, and I well know how hard it is to lose one in the natural course of things. I can't imagine how it would feel in this horrible way. I hope you are finding happy memories to be some consolation as you grieve. It is certainly understandable that you were not at the Planning Commission meeting the next day. Because that meeting was scheduled for the same time as the first County Commission Budget Hearing, it was held in a facility that doesn't have video capabilities, and was done with just an audio recording. I know how to access that recording from within the county system, but not from outside; I'll check to see where you might be able to listen to it. But I've gone ahead and attached the updated revisions to requested changes to the PUD. I think you might have been at least a little happy with seeing how the developer heard your concerns and made accommodations for them. Here's the shorthand for the changes that they implemented following the last Neighborhood Information Meeting, and which were approved by the Planning Commission: • Reduced the number of units from 375 to 325; • Reduced the height of the building to 4 stories total, instead of 4 stories over parking,for a zoned height of 50 feet; • Have a 9pm cut-off for any outside amplified music; • Reduced the trip-cap for the complex for PM peak hour from 736 for a commercial-only project to 660 for the mixed-use commercial/residential rental project. I have listened to the meeting, a couple of times through this part; it seems like they might have had a sightline for Pine Ridge Estates at the meeting(?), but with the reduction in building height, it didn't seem a big concern to the few residents who were there. As I understand it, any public hearing in which there is considerable public interest is not considered at the July meeting;there are ordinances regarding the opportunity to request reconsideration that must be done within 30 days of the hearing, and since the summer break would prevent that,those items are always continued until the next meeting,to preserve that option. Whew, I know that's a lot. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Perhaps I will see you at the meeting tonight!

So, as you can imagine, I haven't really been focusing too much on community matters for the past few weeks. Anyway, I do have a couple of questions on the Pine Ridge Commons PUD which I hope you can help answer: 1. This project application was on the Planning Commission's agenda at their June 21st meeting. I had intended to go, but it was the morning after Chip was killed so I didn't attend. I haven't been able to find minutes of the meeting on-line, so I'm not sure what was discussed, and either agreed, amended, denied or postponed. Please could you point me to the relevant person ? 2. At the last NIM, it was mentioned that Northgate Village had requested and received a Sight Line Survey across Pine Ridge Road. I responded by asking for a Sight Line Survey across Goodlette Frank Road (from Pine Ridge Estates)towards the proposed Pine Ridge Commons PUD.The developer agreed to provide this, but I have not received anything to date and do not know who I should contact to follow up and ask that it be sent by return. I'd appreciate any contact information you can provide. 3. We had understood at the last NIM that Pine Ridge Commons would be on the Board of County Commissioners' agenda for the July 10th meeting. I've looked through tomorrow's BCC Agenda, but don't see it listed.This question may be answered in the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting, but if you have any other information that would also be much appreciated. and finally, in answer to your original question -we're taking a break this summer,so our next scheduled PRCA meeting will be the 3rd Tuesday in September(18th). However, I have a feeling Andy will have a chance to share his thoughts on this Pine Ridge Commons project as the question may well come up at the Candidate Forum this evening.

The Traffic Operation Division of the Growth Management Department for Collier County is monitoring traffic on all the main roads (and some not-so-main roads) constantly throughout the year. They keep detailed data at the Division, and publish a snapshot of traffic counts quarterly,which will contain a count of traffic in one 24-hour period during that quarter. Most roads are published for each quarter;for some roads, it is semi-annually,for other more remote roads just once a year. Semi-annual and annuals counts are always published for the first quarter of the year,to capture seasonal traffic. Each road is broken into segments—for example,for Pine Ridge Road,they count Seagate,then between 41 and Goodlette,then Goodlette to Airport,then to Livingston, then to Santa Barbara/Logan, and then east from there. And they count separately in each direction. HERE is the link to the page on the county's site that contains links to all the reports.They just updated with the first quarter of this year, and you can see the historic published reports there, as well, back to 2005. Obviously,when there is construction they cannot count, and Irma rudely carried off some of the equipment,so we have some holes in the data for the end of last year. Again,these reports are snapshots;they are constantly counting for major roads to determine remaining capacity. So when a hypothetical traffic engineer gets hired to prepare a traffic study in July, and then submits a report dated September,they are not relying on the data from August—they are using counts that are constantly being collected.

It has been a special place for us to live. We realize growth is inevitable, but in the last few years it has really accelerated at an unhealthy pace. So many new large developments have been built or are being built. This has resulted in traffic issues so bad that we avoid many areas during the busy season. The last season has been by far the worst. The infrastructure has to catch up with the existing growth. The Collier County Growth Management Plan was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. We feel that granting a zoning variance on this property to build 375 housing units at a height of 5 stories on this property is not the right decision to make. Benjamin & Kathleen King 56 Myrtle Rd. Naples, FL 34108 GoodnerAngela From: Benjamin King <floridaseller@gmail.com> Sent: Monday,June 11, 2018 10:53 AM To: SolisAndy Subject: Proposed Pine Ridge Commons PUD My name is Benjamin King. My wife, Kathleen King and I have lived at 56 Myrtle Rd. in Pine Ridge for over 20 years. We both attended the June 5, 2018 Meeting and agree with all the comments listed below. The meeting was really was sub-standard and should be disqualified. The density of this development and its impact on already existing traffic issues on Goodlette and Pine Ridge roads particularly in season really needs to be addressed. Dear Andy Solis, Esq. Re: Pine Ridge Commons- PUD Application - PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 I am writing to voice my concerns and objections to the above referenced Planned Unit Development application, as noted below: 1. The Neighborhood Information Meeting held on June 5 at North Naples Church was sub-standard and should be disqualified as a valid meeting of the approval process. The following will outline the reasons for disqualification: •frequently inaudible (questions from attendees and answers from representatives) •assumptive answers (assumed prior knowledge of project details) •no hand-outs; no plans, sketches or`mock-ups' of the proposed housing units •contradictory answers were given (e.g. answers to questions on traffic study) •questions on one topic answered by information on another topic. The community came to be informed, we left more confused than when we arrived. 2. Density- Proposed housing unit density at this location - 375 housing units are proposed, with anticipation of at least 2 people per unit and anticipated minimum 2 cars per unit are not in keeping with the historical original zoning 3. Height- Proposed height of planned housing units-4 stories of housing over 1 story of parking. Current height restrictions are 40' for retail and 50' for commercial. PUD calls for 60' with embellishments (65' total?). Most of Pine Ridge homeowners' lots that back on to Goodlette-Frank Rd may be have been densely wooded in the past but Hurricane Irma has clearly shown this cannot be taken for granted as a substantial buffer. 4. Conversion ratio -square footage of commercial to housing. It remains unclear why it is necessary to include this in the PUD application. If the developer's plan is to build 375 housing units by a change of use, building on currently empty land and removing some of the current commercial buildings, then that's the plan. No conversion ratio necessary. If the plan is to build less than 375 housing units, then the application process should start once their business model is defined and their plan is clear. Real concern remains that this conversion ratio can be invoked at a later date to remove more of the remaining commercial buildings and increase the number of housing units (more than 375). 5. Traffic-this PUD application proposes adding (assumed) 750-900 cars for(assumed) multiple trips per day, and (assumed) frequently at concentrated times of the day, at one of the busiest intersections in the area. This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd, Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic), the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd -and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioner Solis: We have been residents of Pine Ridge Estates for over 30 years, and we moved here for the open space, large lots, and family atmosphere. It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic, congestion, and dangerous intersections for Pine Ridge Residents! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property! We do not appreciate developers coming in Pine Ridge or around the corner, splitting up lots or changing the zoning for the developers' personal financial gain. The zoning laws serve all community members. Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members. Additionally, the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP)was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. The 31 acre property in question has already been re-zoned once before at the request of the Developer. The original zoning was Rural Agricultural and Residential Single Family (RSF-3). RSF-3 permits three dwelling units per acre while the Agricultural Zoning permits one dwelling unit per five acres. A zoning change was granted (December 14, 1999) to allow retail and commercial use at this location. We do not believe that an exception to the GMP and zoning for this site should be granted for a second time. We, the community members, trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of greedy Developers. This is paradise! Do not turn us into Miami please! Yours truly, Gary W. and Susan C.

This will adversely impact not only the actual Pine Ridge Road/Goodlette-Frank Road intersection, but also Panther Lane (owned and used by Pine Ridge Middle School students, parents and teachers), North Naples Church parishioners and the Village School students, parents and teachers crossing or making U-turns on Goodlette-Frank Rd to head south, Pine Ridge homeowners exiting Center Street making U-turns to head north on Goodlette-Frank Rd,Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Rd to turn south, everyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Rd heading south on Goodlette (across 4 lanes of traffic),the Fire Station on Pine R! idge Rd -and the list goes on. In summary, I do not support this request to deviate again from the carefully considered, discussed, and approved Collier County Growth Management Plan. My subsequent objections are to the proposed height, and housing and traffic density of this project. At issue is the lack of detail provided to the community prior to the PUD Application being considered for approval by the Planning Commission; and then further consideration and super-majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners.

RE: We strongly oppose Pine Ridge Commons PETITION CP-2016-03/PL20160002360 DATE: June 19, 2018 Dear Commissioner: We are year-round residents of Pine Ridge Estates and strongly oppose the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons Planned Unit Development(PUD). PREFACE: On June 4, a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM) for the proposed Rural Lands West(RLW) development was held at Cornerstone United Methodist Church on Immokalee Road. We saw numerous signs in the area announcing the event. Moreover, an individual in bright clothing directed people to the correct entrance, even though Cornerstone United Methodist Church is not very large. Once inside,there were numerous brochures, handouts, and detailed poster boards of the proposed project. On June 5, a NIM for the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD was held at North Naples Church on Goodlette-Frank Road. There were no signs in the area about the event. No one directed people to the correct entrance, even though North Naples Church is a large complex. Once inside, there were no brochures or handouts,while the few poster boards merely showed current maps of the area in question. In addition, comments made by those representing the developers were often confusing, incomplete, or unrelated to questions being asked. Currently, this 31 acres Pine Ridge Commons PUD is zoned for"Commercial Infill" (commercial and office space). The developers want the zoning amended to "Mixed Use" in order to allow 375 rental apartments up to 5 stories high, including ground level garages, with the potential to increase the number of apartments via a conversion. Why was the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD held off-season when so many residents are up north? Why was it held with so little publicity? Why did it provide so little information and so few answers? Clearly,this NIM was little more than a sham carried out to fulfill a requirement while providing a minimum amount of information to as few people as possible. OBJECTIONS: (1) SERIOUS TRAFFIC ISSUES: Three hundred seventy-five (375) residential apartments equate to 750 motorized vehicles on average, excluding visitors. The total could exceed 1,000 even without a conversion. -- The Pine Ridge/Goodlette-Frank intersection is already one of the busiest in Collier County and can't be widened. Considerably more traffic in that immediate area is the last thing it needs. -- North Naples Church parishioners and Village School parents/students/teachers enter and exit via Goodlette-Frank Road just north of the planned development. That is hard to do at times. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Pine Ridge Estates homeowners exiting at Center Street have to make a right (south) turn onto Goodlette-Frank Road. If they want to go north, they have to make a U-turn shortly thereafter—near the exit for North Naples Church. That is often hard to do. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. 1 -- Because of increased traffic, more people will use Pine Ridge Estates as a "short cut" to go from Goodlette-Frank Road to US 41. The roads in Pine Ridge Estates are "public", but there is no reason its residents should have to put up with excess, speeding, non-local traffic just to enrich developers. -- Autumn Woods homeowners crossing Goodlette-Frank Road to head south will be adversely affected by the increased traffic as they cross multiple lanes of traffic. -- Northgate homeowners exiting on Goodlette-Frank Road will be adversely affected by the increased traffic, especially if they are trying to make a left turn across multiple lanes of traffic to head south or trying to make a right turn across multiple lanes of traffic in order to make a left (west)turn at Pine Ridge Road. -- Anyone exiting Pine Ridge Commons onto Pine Ridge Road and wishing to head south on Goodlette- Frank Road needs to cross 4 lanes of traffic. Increased traffic will make it even more difficult. -- Panther Lane is mentioned by the developers as a route into and out of the proposed residential areas, but it is actually a street for Pine Ridge Middle School. In fact, it is closed off(by gates)to through traffic much of the day. --At the NIM for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD,the developers said their"traffic study" was published December 5, 2017. They claimed not to know when the actual traffic data was collected, but it was before then. This hardly sounds like the "peak season" survey they claim it was. Many seasonal residents don't come down until well after December 5. (2) CRITICAL DELAYS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: North Collier Fire Rescue Station #40 is on the north side of Pine Ridge Road --just east of Goodlette-Frank Road and close to the intersection, It is next to the 31 acres of the planned residential development. The Fire Department can override traffic signals, but it has no magic trick to overcome delays caused by the considerably increased traffic the proposed development would bring to that area. Minutes, even seconds, count in life and death emergency situations. (3) SCHOOL SAFETY AND OVER-CROWDING ISSUES: Pine Ridge Middle School is right next to the planned residential development. Deadly school shootings--with resultant lockdowns of the surrounding areas-- are all too common now, as are sexual predators and child abductions. Does it make any sense at all to build 375 residential apartments, rentals no less,that close to a school? Moreover, enrollment at Pine Ridge Middle School already exceeds optimum levels. If the application to amend current zoning for the Pine Ridge Commons PUD is approved and you voted for it,are you willing to accept responsibility for adverse consequences? The proposed amendment has many serious negatives—and no positives--for nearby residents and others traveling through that area. The developers of the Pine Ridge Commons PUD are entitled to the current zoning of their property. They are not entitled to zoning changes merely to satisfy their changing desires, especially when that would be to the detriment of the community at large. Please join us in opposing this petition. The public's lives, safety, and well-being will be affected by your vote. Thank you. Respectfully yours, George B.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioners, I strongly object to the proposed rezoning my neighborhood of Pine Ridge to allow for the construction of approximately 400 units of apartment housing. We are residents of Pine Ridge for nearly 20 years-- my wife and I chose the community for its rural style living, the fact it is not gated, and for its spacious, non-intrusive life style. It is a unique residential area and its character does not deserve to be altered by changing the zoning and adding increased density. We hopefully would all be able to enjoy the community we select to make our home and not to have its character detrimentally altered by developers' profit motive. Leave Pine Ridge the way it is.

L20160002360 Dear Commissioner Solis: We have been residents of Pine Ridge Estates for over 30 years, and we moved here for the open space, large lots, and family atmosphere. It is turning into gated and locked lots, cut-through traffic, and car break-ins on weekends. Please do not contribute to more cut-through traffic, congestion, and dangerous intersections for Pine Ridge Residents! We believe it is extremely important to remind members of the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners that we, as long-time property owners, are entitled to the current zoning of our property! We do not appreciate developers coming in Pine Ridge or around the corner, splitting up lots or changing the zoning for the developers' personal financial gain. The zoning laws serve all community members. Developers have no right to expect the County Commissioners to change the zoning for the benefit of the Developer and to the detriment of community members. Additionally, the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP) was put in place to assure our community grows and develops in a responsible manner. The 31 acre property in question has already been re-zoned once before at the request of the Developer. The original zoning was Rural Agricultural and Residential Single Family (RSF-3). RSF-3 permits three dwelling units per acre while the Agricultural Zoning permits one dwelling unit per five acres. A zoning change was granted (December 14, 1999) to allow retail and commercial use at this location. We do not believe that an exception to the GMP and zoning for this site should be granted for a second time. We, the community members, trust the Planning Commission and County Commissioners to follow the GMP - not to ignore and change it simply to meet the changing desires of greedy Developers. This is paradise! Do not turn us into Miami please! Yours truly, Gary W. and Susan C.

Saunders—District 3 Honorable Penny Taylor, Chairman—District 4 Honorable William L. McDaniel,Jr.—District 5 FROM: George B. Szczerbaniuk, M.D. Jaroslawa Szczerbaniuk, R.Ph. 181 Caribbean Road Naples, FL 34108-3408 RE: Goodlette/Pine Ridge Commercial Infill Subdistrict (GMPA) Petition# PL20160002360/CP-2016-3 Dear Collier County Commissioners: We strongly oppose the proposed zoning change to the existing Goodlette/Pine Ridge Commercial Infill Subdistrict PUD and respectfully ask that you vote against it. We reviewed the GradyMinor website and attended the developer's informational session on April 24, 2017. This subdistrict consists of 31 acres. Current zoning, approved in 1999, allows 275,000 square feet of commercial retail/office/financial space, of which commercial retail space is limited to 125,000 square feet. Of the above-noted 275,000 square feet, a total of 205,000 has been built out. Some of that is currently unoccupied (e.g. closed Sweet Bay grocery), although the lease on same is still being paid. The developer wants to change the zoning from "Commercial Infill" to "Mixed Use" in order to allow up to 400 residential units in multi-family buildings with a maximum of 4 stories (GradyMinor website) or 5 stories(what we were told at the informational session) over parking. We were informed they would all be rentals units. The developers claim their traffic studies show that reducing the amount of leasable commercial space to 125,000 square feet on the south+/-23 acres and adding 400 residential units on the north +/-8 acres will result in about the same volume of traffic or, possibly, slightly less than full implementation of the zoning originally approved in 1999—i.e.that it would be "a wash". Unfortunately,their claim does not address "reality". Statistical studies often turn out to be incorrect. Whether it's huge cost over-runs on a carefully thought out construction project, actual utilization rates of same, etc., such studies are often wrong. In addition, they can be skewed toward the desired result and ignore or minimize conflicting data. Instead of looking at the "hypothetical" scenario that would result from full build-out and full leasing under the original 1999 zoning approved for this PUD, what we need to consider are (a)the current"reality" that residents living in, and others using, this area already face on a daily basis and (b)the added effect of 400--or any large number of-- new residential units upon same. 1 The addition of 400 residential units would have the following negative impacts: (1) MARKEDLY INCREASED TRAFFIC AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: Average household size in Collier County (2010 census) is 2.38 people. The average household has about 2 vehicles. Thus,400 new residential units would add about 950 residents and 1,900 vehicles in a mere 8 acres near a major intersection. (A) EMERGENCY RESPONSE SAFETY CONCERNS: North Collier Fire Rescue District--Station#40 is situated (literally) at the southeast corner of this PUD. Response times of ambulances and fire engines during emergencies would be slower as they try to get though the extra traffic. This is further complicated by the proximity of the fire station to the major arterial intersection of Goodlette-Frank and Pine Ridge Roads. As health care professionals, we know that delays of a few seconds or minutes could have deadly consequences. (B) TRAFFIC CONCERNS: We'll mention just a few examples. Traffic is already bad on Goodlette-Frank and Pine Ridge Roads. It can back up on Pine Ridge between Goodlette-Frank and US 41, especially"in season". That would get worse with the zoning change. Likewise, people in Pine Ridge Estates who want to go north on Goodlette-Frank Road have to turn right(south) off Center Street and then make a U-turn onto Goodlette-Frank Road by North Naples Church. That can be difficult already and would get worse. Likewise, there would be increased traffic in non-gated residential communities such as Pine Ridge Estates from motorists trying to avoid traffic signals by taking short-cuts to get from one major street to another. (C) INCREASED NOISE AND POLLUTION IN A COMPACT AREA. (2) PINE RIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL ISSUES: (A) POSSIBLE OVERCROWDING: How would that get resolved? Who would pay the related impact fees and other costs related to same? (B) ADDITIONAL HIGH-DENSITY TRAFFIC SO CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL. (C) CHILD SAFETY: Sadly, some things are more common now than in 1999 when the current zoning was approved. Every day we read about child predators, abductions, and attempted abductions. Do we really want to have 400 residential rental units a block from a middle school? (3) ADDED STRAIN ON OUR FRAGILE WATER RESOURCES: In these times of severe drought, do we really want to add 400 residential units to the existing demands on the water supply in this area? What impact would it have on nearby communities? Several residents in Pine Ridge Estates have had their wells dry up recently. How many more will fail? Would the developer be willing to assume financial responsibility for new wells and/or connection to county water in such cases? What the Collier County Board of Commissioners really has to consider is not the "hypothetical", but "reality". We know what the current situation actually is and, as pointed out above,the negative consequences that adding 400--or any large number of-- residential units would have. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. Please support the residents of the nearby communities, the first responders whose jobs are difficult enough already,the children at Pine Ridge Middle School, and others who travel in this area. If this proposed zoning change comes up for a vote, we ask you to oppose it. Given careful planning and the right commercial tenants, the Goodlette/Pine Ridge Infill Subdistrict can be successful—as have been others.
