Thank You. Thomas and Janet Caione 2379 butterfly Palm Drive Naples, FL Sent from Mail for Windows 10 Tom & Janet Caione 2379 Butterfly Palm Drive Naples,Florida 34119 October 19, 2017 Dear > We are writing this letter to make you aware of our opposition to the proposed building plan of the Cleary property in North Naples. We are residents of Saturnia Lakes which is the development that the proposed will border if approved. There are several reasons that this project as proposed should be denied, or at least modified, but we have listed the following as those of most concern to us. We have been residents of Saturnia Lakes since 2002. Reason's the project as proposed should be denied: 1.Since Cleary has never taken the (low rise) 63 residential dwelling units off the table. I would like to point this out to the BCC. If this option is good enough for Cleary, we believe it would gain the approval of most Saturnia residents, since it falls in line with the architecture of the surrounding communities. 2. Cleary's attorney made a point to say their 45 or 5o foot structure fits right in with similar tall buildings in the area. I am sure that you are aware that this is not true. There are no buildings of this height within miles of this property. The closest ones being near the Livingston Road/Vanderbilt Beach Road. intersection which is over 5 miles away. 3.You should be aware that there was a"semantics" argument among the planning board members at the 10/5 meeting regarding whether or not the Cleary project should be compared to Saturnia's zoned height of 5o feet or our ACTUAL built height of approximately 30 feet. This seemed open to interpretation. 4. A 200 bed assisted living living/continuing care facility is considered"quasi- commercial" in the eyes of Collier County. 5. A quick look at the locations of other assisted living buildings in the area from 130- 200 beds will show that none are hovering over a residential community like Cleary is in proximity to Saturnia Lakes Thank you for taking the time to read this correspondence. Hopefully it will shed more light on the situation. Sincerely, Thomas and Janet Caione LykinsDave From: Barbara Morley <bjmorley2@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, October 20, 2017 10:46 AM Subject: RPUD CLEARY SITE - Immokalee Road Allow me to introduce myself. I am Barbara Morley, a resident and owner at Saturnia Lakes the community immediately to the East of the Cleary property. I am opposed to the second option Cleary has recently put forward. Cleary's original proposal "Option One" to developed a gated community of 63 individual houses, is completely in keeping with all developments fronting Immokalee. Their newly proposed second option, if approved, would allow them to build a 50' tall, two hundred multi unit building on this site. I am opposed to option two for the following reasons; • At the Planning Meeting held in October the Cleary representatives, under oath during the rebuttal period, stated that a 50' high building is appropriate for this site as buildings of this height exist within a 2 1/2 mile radius of the Cleary site. This is not true. I'm enclosing aerial views of Immokalee Road, East and West of the Cleary site and there are no buildings greater than two stories within a 2 1/2 mile radius. • As you are aware, West of the Cleary property is another long, narrow 9 acre site similar to the Cleary land. This site has been referred to as the "Walker" property. Collier County plans show an access lane, which has been carved out of the Walker property, to be utilized by all vehicles entering and exiting both sites through the Cleary driveway. • Should Cleary get approval for their proposed 200 multi unit building the Walker property will surely be looking to build a building of the same size. • The proposed Cleary building will create traffic congestion with the addition of over 200 resident vehicles, guest vehicles, staff and service vehicles, delivery trucks, waste removal trucks all merging onto and off Immokalee Road. With the very likely possibility that the Walker owners, learning of a potential Cleary approval, will also want to build a similar multi unit building, the traffic coming into and out of the combine properties would double the number of vehicles trying to pore out onto Immokalee via a driveway unable to handle this flow. The narrow frontage of the Cleary and Walker properties combined is only a few hundred feet. A short distance East of Cleary is the access lane for Saturnia where well over 580 + resident vehicles and the numerous other guest and service vehicles and school buses merge onto and off Immokalee Road from Saturnia Lakes. • Immokalee Road is a 6 lane speedway, 3 lanes running East and 3 lanes running West. Posted speed limit is 45 MPH, which more often than not is ignored. With the current traffic patterns residents leaving Saturnia and others traveling west but wish to make a left turn into Saturnia must wait for the traffic light on Immokalee at Logan to stop the easterly bound traffic flow. This turn lane also provides "U-turn ability for residents of Heritage Hills, a community that shares a border with Saturnia Lakes. • We have already been told that a traffic light would not be appropriate at either Cleary's or Saturnia's property entrances as these sites are too close to the light at Logan Blvd. This decision has already been made by Collier County's Traffic Department, who are aware that GL is about to begin building their shopping center on the corner of Immokalee and Logan immediate West of Cleary and Walker properties and Saturnia Lakes development. • The drastic increase of traffic from the GL Shopping Center, Cleary and potentially Walker properties with the existing Saturnia Lakes and Heritage Hills will occur within a a quarter mile stretch of roadway on Immokalee starting at the eastern exit lane of the GL shopping center. • In addition there are two schools back to back 1/2 mile East of GL shopping center exit and the above mentioned properties. Children can be see daily walking and riding their bikes to and from both Laurel Oaks and Gulf Coast High on the sidewalks of Immokalee Road as well as crossing Immokalee. For all of the above reasons I oppose Cleary's option two. Option two will change the distinctive residential nature of Immokalee Road that is situated East of Route 75, create traffic and safety nightmares for those living and traveling throughout the 1.9 mile stretch of Immokalee Road East and West from Logan intersection to Collier Blvd. 1 iPad -;• glco kef: . , - - .

I write to you to voice my opposition to the Cleary project proposed to be built directly to our west along Immokalee Road. Although my wife and I presently are in New York, I have been kept abreast of the misadventures which have occurred including your last public hearing at which the Cleary project was discussed. The proposal, as I understand it, is for the construction of a nursing facility for the aged and infirm with at least one of the proposed structures to be almost 50 feet in height. Through miscommunication involving one of our directors and his privately-hired attorney, your Board was informed that we had no objection and that Saturnia Lakes agreed to the proposal as submitted. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although you have no obligation to monitor our private HOA procedures, it is sufficient to state that the statement made on the record at your hearing by that attorney was not the result of any advance notice, general meeting, or approval by the membership. The rest is internal confusion which we now undergo as a result of the unauthorized actions I refer to. Let me simply state that Robert and Billie Ann Carlsen, who reside at 2350 Butterfly Palm Drive in Saturnia Lakes, oppose the project as submitted to you and wish to be on record together with many others in informing you of this fact. Respectfully, Robert C. Carlsen, Esq. 75-19 Myrtle Avenue Glendale, NY 11385 718-366-0058 1 LykinsDave From: Millie Corcoran <mcorcoran1029@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2017 3:01 PM To: SaundersBurt Subject: PUD-PL20160001985 Attachments: cleary project.docx Sent from Mail for Windows 10 1 We are writing this letter to respectfully oppose the Cleary Development Project. This project is proposed for the small 8+acre lot located West of Saturnia Lakes Community and East of the yet to be built GL Shopping Center on the Southeast corner of Immokalee Rd. and Logan Blvd. in North Naples. Our objections are as follows: Our community had a meeting with the developer in January 2017 and was told we could expect a single home community of 63 houses. Little by little this plan became a 4 story(5 story if the underground parking is counted) up to a height of 50 feet. Since Saturnia Lakes only has 1 and 2 story houses, and since this project is using every square inch of space, this colossal structure will be looming large over our entire community. It will run the entire length of our beautiful entrance (which most residents will tell you that is why they purchased in this community). The foliage that the developer portrays on his artist's rendering is no longer there after Hurricane Irma. Traffic in the area is another big concern. There have been quite a few new developments along Immokalee Rd. in the past 2-3 years and, in season, one must sit through 3 traffic lights to get through the intersection of Immokalee and Logan. That is before the installation of this 200-unit project and before the installation of the already approved GL shopping center. Additionally,the entrance to the proposed Cleary project is very close to our entrance and at the speeds that are traveled on Immokalee, people pulling out and people trying to get over to our entrance will be extremely dangerous. We have a community full of young children and many of the youth from the nearby High School walk home in the afternoon. It gives me chills to think of all that could go wrong. Water drainage is a third concern. Cleary stated at the zoning hearing that at the time Saturnia Lakes was developed our lake system could handle water from the adjacent properties west to the corner at Logan. That was 16 years ago. Was a 200-unit building and an entire shopping center considered as a possibility? While I admit I'm not an expert, I do hear on the news about Lee County having many flooding problems with County approved development causing massive floods for the people that have been there for many years. Finally, in closing I would like to mention that our Community came en masse to the zoning hearing and sent over 200 petitions against the rezoning only to lose our case by ONE vote. We will be at the BCC committee hearing all wearing our white shirts. I do hope your will take our opposition to be serious. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Our Board President hired an attorney and made an agreement with Cleary without the knowledge and approval of the 580 residents of Saturnia Lakes. We strongly urge you to vote "NO" on this project. Listed below are some of the reasons to vote "NO". 1. It will drastically change the look of this residential area-- building a 50' building. 2. There are over 20 single family home communities that surround this Cleary project. 3. Cleary Development wants to build a 200 bed facility --the land density only allows for a 150 bed facility. 4. Originally Cleary told our residents they were building a single family home community. 5. This project will create dangerous traffic problems. Please vote "NO"for this Cleary Development project.

This commercial property is proposed to adversely and directly affect the view from my lanai. I will lose privacy and property value. With all the senior care developments in the area, when occupancy rates become challenging, how will this property be used in 10 years or more? Let's think ahead of a developers immediate appeal. Do not approve this proposed 5 story building so close to residential property. No more than 2 or 3 stories!

Since 2013 I have been a homeowner in the Saturnia Lakes community (2415 Butterfly Palm Drive) in North Naples. I am writing to you to express my strong opposition to the proposed Cleary development project to build a five story senior housing building next door to Saturnia Lakes. Let me be clear: I am not opposed to a senior community being located on that property. I am against any three to five story building in that location. Saturnia Lakes is a beautiful upscale community. The landscaping on the tree lined main entrance into Saturnia Lakes creates one of the most elegant entryways of any community in all of Naples. The proposed multistory building will be next door to that main entrance and will ruin the beautiful view that we homeowners and our guests now experience. Property values will be damaged if you approve this large, multistory building to be constructed. Additionally, with my property being located on Butterfly Palm Drive (which runs parallel to the main entrance), the view from the back of my home will go from the privacy of the existing tree lined entryway to the bricks, windows and roofing tiles of the Cleary building. I strongly oppose the Cleary project as it will decrease all of the property values in the Saturnia Lakes community. Please do not vote to approve this project.

Our community is adjacent to the Cleary RPUD Project on our western border. I am strictly opposed to the planned development of this property as it appeared at the CCPC meeting on October 5th. A four-story building would dwarf our beautiful community not least of which to say the increase of noise, traffic and accidents. Our community was unaware of the dealings with the Cleary attorney and was not given the proper information concerning this project until October 5th. Hurricane Irma decimated our tree line buffer and now gives everyone an unobstructed view of the Cleary property. Please consider a "no" vote at your November BCC meeting.

Having 50 ft. tall buildings, so close to our main entrance,will destroy the integrity and charm of our community and those high density buildings will add traffic congestion to Immokalee Road, which is already extremely busy and destined to get busier once the recently approved Landings at Logan development is completed. Please protect our community and our home values by disapproving the proposed rezoning for the Cleary development or, at a minimum, restrict the height of buildings to 3 stories (above the current floodplain elevation of that lot) and increase the setback requirements. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The project would place a 4 story building on the western border of our community and it would dwarf everything in our 400 acre community. It is inconsistent with anything in our area of Collier County especially in terms of density. Please do not be persuaded by the argument that Cleary group has the "support of the Saturnia Lakes HOA. That simply is not true. They have the support of the HOA President who made a back room deal with the Cleary group that no one in the community knew anything about. We are currently working to remove that individual from our HOA Board.

I believe building this project would affect the aesthetics of the area as well as cause real problems with excessive traffic compounded by the shopping center that has been approved. It is already difficult to exit Saturnia during high traffic times. Construction of this project would exacerbate the problem. This new construction could also negatively affect our property values. It would take away from the beauty of our entrance and would be seen from all areas of the complex because of its height. It would be the only tall building in the area. Please vote no on approving this project. The voters of Saturnia are depending on you. Patricia A.

Let's look at the reasons: 1. The height of the proposed building(s) will take away the little view of nature we have in that area and the privacy it now gives us, especially for those living close to or at the front of our community. 2. It will create traffic problems with entrances and exits for Saturnia and Cleary both on Immokalee Rd., especially during commuter hours when traffic is fast and heavy. This will be in addition to the light and turn in/turn out difficulties that the grocery shopping center will create on the corner of Logan Blvd. and Immokalee. Also, how does that all feed in when Logan becomes a 4 lane highway in the future? 3. What about the fact that there are 2 schools close by on Immokalee that have bus traffic there morning and afternoon as well as a large volume of parent drop offs and pickups that has increased since two new communities were developed between Logan and Collier Blvd. on the north side of Immokalee recently? The increase in population at Laurel Oak Elementary and at Gulf Coast High attest to that. 4. New man- made buildings will add to the problems of natural water absorption that planted areas can do and buildings and paved areas cannot. 5. More housing will add to the strain on the electric grid. Just look at the problems that occurred during and after the hurricane. Sewer water came bubbling up from manhole covers here in Saturnia and neighboring communities along with others farther from here. As I understand it this was caused by the jolt of power being restored in parts of our and other communities. 6. Removal of plants does affect the quality of our air and the amount of oxygen that plants give us. The project will also add to the amount of vehicle exhaust from more in and out traffic. 7. There would be increased noise (a lot) during construction which would especially affect the homeowners near the front of Saturniia. The in-place foliage provides some buffer now from traffic noise on Immokalee, but removal of trees takes away a huge part of that buffer. 8. Increased trash pickup will add even more noise to the Saturnia environment. 9. Revenue gained will also have to be revenue spent and most likely even more to handle all the problems over time this development will create. 10. Have you looked at the fact that there are two large senior housing developments on Vanderbilt in high rise structures which are not filled to capacity? If this proposed project is targeted to seniors or others, how will being so close to a road that is probably busier than Vanderbilt affect purchase? Finally, we ask that you not devalue our homes and lose tax value you already have. We ask that you not devalue us, your constituents, and our needs and desires and the trust and value of our votes.

This is entirely incompatible with the adjacent community. Any building on this property should be complementary with the nearby neighborhood.Height restrictions should be consistent with the adjoining Saturnia Lakes development of 580 homes. I am sure you would not like a five story building next to your single family home. This proposal would destroy property values in the neighborhood, add an unacceptable level of noise to the surrounding homes, and dramatically contribute to the traffic congestion on Immokalee Road with cars and trucks exiting and entering the facility. Flooding would also be a potential problem, as this development plans to tap into the Saturnia Lakes discharge system which is already overtaxed. During Hurricane Irma water was within inches of many of our homes. I sincerely hope you will support the residents of Saturnia Lakes in their opposition to this proposed zoning change.

A project of this size would have an adverse effect on property values, add to the traffic congestion problem on Immokalee Road, create a noise condition in the surrounding residential community, and possibly create a flooding situation in Saturnia Lakes.

The planned preserve buffer has been demolished by Hurricane Irma. The building will be out of place as there aren't any buildings of that height east of 175 all the way to#951 and beyond (except church steeples). The proposed new shopping center at the corner of Immokalee Road and Logan Blvd. will not be near 50 feet high. It also opens up the idea of another builder putting a similar structure on the adjoining Walker property. We all know the Cleary property will be developed but strongly disagree as to the height and will run the length of our whole entrance roadway. It should blend in with all the surrounding homes in the Saturnia Lakes and Old Cypress corridor.

Saunders Board of Collier County Commissioners 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 303 Naples, Florida 34112 Regarding: PUDZ-PL20160001985 Dear Commissioner Saunders: We are homeowners and year-round residents of the Saturnia Lakes Community, which is comprised of 580 single-family residences in a resort style development. Our main entrance was designed by the developer G.L. Homes (GLH) to enhance the aesthetics of our community as a beautifully landscaped boulevard about a quarter mile long south of Immokalee Road. This road is a high point in our community as the roadbed is about 15 feet above the surrounding land. Had the abutting land to the west been available to GLH, it would have been developed to mirror the one and two story homes to the east and south. Today the developer of this adjoining land known as the Cleary Development Group (CDG) is proposing to construct several four-story buildings to a height of 50 feet above grade. This grade could be and will likely be an additional 15 feet or so above the present grade to match the grade of the entrance road to Saturnia Lakes. While zoning allows building to a height of 50 feet, GLH limited the height to 35 feet within Saturnia Lakes. CDG asserts Saturnia Lakes properties could be redeveloped at the 50-foot level so that is the building height that should be permitted. That assertion simply will not happen because Saturnia Lakes was developed approximately ten to fifteen years ago with hundreds of single-family homes each on its own lot and fully developed at an actual maximum height of two stories. As such, the CDG Project or any future adjoining land development should be limited to the same 35-foot height because of the negative neighborhood effects not only to Saturnia Lakes but other nearby residential properties. We are not suggesting the CDG be prevented from developing the Cleary parcel. We only ask that the development be consistent with existing nearby residential development with reasonable density and building height restrictions. There are three development options in place for CDG including single-family homes, multi-family housing, or a senior care complex. Unfortunately, CDG has apparently rejected the option to develop the land as a single-family residential community, which is compatible with adjacent land use. Instead, CDG is pursuing Page 2 the development with the highest population density and most imposing structures, which is inconsistent with existing residential developments such the Saturnia Lakes and Heritage Greens communities. We also think the third option has a business purpose closer to a commercial enterprise than residential. On October 5, 2017, the Collier County Planning Commission considered changing the zoning classification of the real estate to be developed by CDG from a Rural Agricultural zoning district to a Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) zoning district for the project to be known as the Cleary RPUD to allow construction of a maximum of 63 residential dwelling units or 200 group housing units for seniors. The vote was split with four ayes and two nays. Chair Mark Strain objected to the Cleary RPUD as proposed saying, "I will not support motion of approval for the following reasons. I think the height across the board is too high at 50 feet. I think the project is supposed to be transitional. Now compatibility is one thing, making it transitional is another. You don't double the density and increase the height to this magnitude next door to a project, especially when it's not an activity center. So I don't think the height is justified". He went on to say, "I believe that the density for the ALF is too high. It should not be given 0.60, especially since they won't look at a higher public purpose to gain that additional density. But at 0.45, 150 units are relevant in ratio to that. I think the density for the dwelling units is too high at seven units per acre. I think it should be five, which is 0.45 and more compatible and transitional from Saturnia Lakes". Secretary Diane Ebert and our District 3 representative also objected to the Cleary RPUD saying, "I also will not support. The transition is too great. I worry about the property next door going into the same thing". For your information, a similar sized undeveloped real estate parcel adjoins the Cleary RPUD to the west. At the meeting, the planning commissioners were told by a representative of Mike Manganaro, president of the Saturnia Lakes Homeowners Association (the "HOA"), the Cleary RPUD had complete support of the HOA. That statement is incorrect at best and perhaps misleading. The truth is Mike Manganaro, in conjunction with one or two other homeowners, entered into an agreement with CDG with only minor modifications to the Cleary RPUD. They did this without consulting the entire HOA board of directors. Furthermore, there was no communication of this agreement to the HOA residents until those present at the Planning Commission meeting heard it for the first time. Please note that Mike Manganaro was appointed and not elected to the HOA board of directors. In addition, Mr. Manganaro is presently subject to recall pursuant to Florida Statutes, section 720.303(10) for breaching his fiduciary responsibility. We assert that Mike Manganaro is not a voice for the people comprising the HOA and does not truly represent the best interests of the Saturnia Lakes community. Page 3 Please consider our petition to you and the rest of the Collier County Commissioners for modification of the Cleary RPUD reducing density and building height. Our neighbors and we would be most appreciative of your support. Sincerely, --VWL30\i's{—kAk Mary M. Opland David A.

My main concern is being able to safely enter and exit the property. We have been told that traffic is not a problem and a traffic signal cannot be installed at the Logan exit. It is already difficult to make a left turn onto Logan Blvd. during rush hour and once the shopping center is built on the corner of Immokalee and Logan, we know that will make it worse. When the Cleary development is built, there will be easily a couple of hundred more vehicles to navigate the roads. I assume that the majority of the residents there would exit onto Immokalee and make a u-turn the majority of the time to head west and with the volume of traffic, there is no safe way to do that. Please put yourself in our position and think about how this will jeopardize our safety. We realize that something will be built on this property, but could it be something that would create less hazardous conditions? Thank you for your consideration.

This proposed project is being presented at your November 14th meeting. Below I've summarized my arguments: Proposed Height of 50 Feet for 200 unit building The proposed height of this development is not in keeping in character with the local community, as it will be, at 50 feet, the tallest building on Immokalee east of 175. In the 8/24/16 "Pre-Application Meeting Notes" #1 handwritten note says- "Address compliance with FLUE designation; FLUE policy 5.4 ("requires new land uses to be compatible with surrounding area'); FLUE objective 7 ("adhere to the existing development character of Collier County"and its applicable supporting policies"(such as developments provide "a range of housing prices and types")) Cleary argues that the Saturnia Lakes (Regis PUD) community is already zoned for 50 feet, so Cleary requesting 50 feet is in line with FLUE 5.4. However, although zoned for 50 feet, Saturnia is only built up to a maximum of single family 2 story homes (guestimate 30 feet). This became a "semantics" discussion at the 10/5 planning board meeting - should Cleary be compared to the zoned height or actual height of Saturnia Lakes? The County's Planning Zoning Director, Mike Bosi, stated that this rule was open to interpretation by the board. Saturnia asks the BCC to compare Cleary to the "comparable" existing height (and "community character") of Saturnia and not the zoned height. (Commissioner Mark Strain agreed it should be comparable height.) No similar sized (130-200 beds) Collier County Assisted Living/Retirement facility is as close to a residential community as Cleary will abut Saturnia Lakes Using the Agency for Healthcare Administration's Assisted Living Directory for Collier County I compared the largest ALRs (130-200 beds) to their proximity to local residential communities. Unlike Cleary's proximity to Saturnia Lakes, ALL are a significant distance away from other communities as indicated by satellite photos using Google Maps. See attached PowerPoint PDF document 1 Cleary is a "Quasi-Commercial" Development Cleary is asking the board to jump several steps from currently zoned Agricultural to "Quasi Commercial". In Principal Planner, Growth Management Department's Nancy Gundlach's 8/2/17 "third review of the Cleary PUD" rezone letter to Wayne Arnold (Grady Minor&Associates) and Richard Yovanovich (Coleman, Yovanovich and Koester, P.A.) she states "This PUD contains quasi commercial uses (ALF and CCRC) and residential uses. Therefore, it is a CFPUD, not a RPUD" I ask the BCC to draw a line in the sand and not allow for such a tall "quasi commercial" structure to set a precedent in our immediate community. 63 townhomes have never been taken off the table Cleary's Description of Work states: "Proposed rezone from the "A" Zoning District to RPUD to allow for group housing for seniors and/or residential dwelling units" ALL of Cleary's correspondence with the County includes his request for"A maximum development density of 63 (formerly 65) residential dwelling units or 200 units of group housing for seniors" (8/27/17 PUD exhibit from the Cleary "Planning Application Status" website) I believe Saturnia Lakes residents would welcome this option, and make for an easy BCC compromise - if it's good enough for Mr. Cleary to have proposed this option from day one, Saturnia would not oppose this low-rise option. Is there really a need for 200 additional assisted living beds in Naples? NO! Cleary lawyers try to argue, with the aging baby boomer generation, the obvious need for additional assisted living type of facilities. However, due to "turnover" at such facilities, the current number of beds (1765 in 24 facilities per AHCA Assisted Living Directory) in Collier County is not maxed out and there is currently no waiting for space in the largest ALRs: Terracina Grand - space available Brookdale North Naples - studio available (independant living) Tuscany Villa of Naples - space available Barrington Terrace - space available Bentley Village - space available Bradford Square - space available CCPC Chair Mark Strain was one of two "No" votes At the 10/5 Cleary planning meeting Chair Mark Strain felt a) Cleary's proposal option for the 200 beds ALF/CCRC should really only be zoned for 150 beds, and b) the 63 residential dwelling units should really only be 45 - I believe he felt in both cases this was due to the standard .45 FAR. Reducing the 200 units to 150 would also reduce by 25% all support staff associated with care at the facility. Mr. Saunders, based on these arguments I request you and the other members of the Board reject Mr. Cleary's request for such a large structure so close to our Saturnia Lakes community, and instead approve his smaller scale 63 townhomes option.
