McDaniel, Jr. District 5 Collier County Commissioner Email: BillMcDaniel@colliergov.net VIA EMAIL RE: CONCEPTUAL CITY GATE/COLLIER COUNTY AMATEUR SPORTS PARK Dear Commissioners, I represent the owners of City Gate Commerce Park(collectively"City Gate"). Attached hereto please find a copy of my letter,which was included in Commissioner Penny Taylor's Press Release today. That letter provided City Gate's response to the concerns of Michael Dalby, CEO of the Greater Naples Chambers of Commerce, in the WINK News Report which first aired on Monday, July 5,2017;to wit,if the County Sports Complex were sited on City Gate it would rob the County of City Gate's potential as a site for light industrial jobs, which could be "high-wage, high-value and high-skill." Upon prior Board of County Commissioners direction,Nick Casalanguida,Deputy County Manager, and other County staff, have over a course of months met multiple times with myself and other City Gate representatives to evaluate the potential for a public private partnership between City Gate and Collier County for the phased development of an amateur Sports Complex. Conceptually,the first phase would be 60 acres on City Gate property and the second phase on the County land, known as the "CC305." See aerial herewith. City Gate believes that Mr. Dalby's concerns are unfounded. I point out that City Gate has plenty of land for the conceptual 60-acre Sports Complex, with 154 acres of developable lot acres left over. These 154 acres could accommodate a project the size of Arthrex in Creekside, a project the size of the Hertz headquarters in Estero, and still have over 80 acres of developable lots available to accommodate other significant projects. I want to assure each of you that City Gate will immediately reach out to the Collier County Office of Business &Economic Development,the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce,and the Southwest Florida Economic Development Alliance to clear any misunderstanding and foster a productive coalition, which could focus on attracting projects with "high-wage, high-value, high- skill" light industrial jobs to the City Gate site. Respectfully submitted, 4-7Z , Roger B. Rice RBR/get Roger B. Rice Attorney at Law 9010 Strada Stell Court Suite 207 Naples, Florida 34109 Phone: 239-593-1002 Facsimile: 239-593-1309 June 7, 2017 RE: CONCEPTUAL CITY GATE/COLLIER COUNTY AMATEUR SPORT PARK GREATER NAPLES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I represent the owners of City Gate Commerce Park(collectively"CityGate"). City Gate representatives were pleased to see, in Monday night's WINK News Report, the City Gate property described as "one of Collier County's most valuable pieces of land". City Gate representatives have long touted City Gate's location near I-75 in the coastal urban area of Collier County, its vested entitlements and its permits in hand (including its PUD/DRI, Federal Fish & Wildlife Permit from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and an Environmental Resource Permit from the South Florida Water Management District). On the other hand, I thought it would be wise to respond to concerns voiced by Michael Dalby CEO of the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce in that same WINK News Report: that if the County Sports Complex were sited on City Gate it would rob the County of City Gate's potential as a site for light industrial jobs, "high-wage, high-value, high-skill", like Arthrex. Mr.Dalby stated that he supported the Sports Complex,but because of his concern,he urged Collier County to look at other sites. City Gate contains plenty of land for both work and play. If the conceptual public private partnership between City Gate and Collier County for the phased development of an amateur sports park were to proceed, the first phase would be developed on 60 acres of City Gate and the second phase on the County land to the east,known as the "CC305". Over 154 acres of lots will remain available in City Gate. To put that in perspective, Arthrex headquarters are located in the Creekside PUD, which had 50 acres of light industrial zoning. The Hertz headquarters in Estero is 250,000 square feet on 20 acres. In other words, City Gate could accommodate the contemplated Sports Complex and a project the size of Arthrex in Creekside, a project the size of Hertz headquarters in Estero, and still have over 84 acres lots available for other projects. The City Gate Commerce Park PUD Ordinance and DRI Development Order entitles 250 hotel units,90,000 square feet of retail building space, 826,000 square feet of office building space, and 1,920,000 square feet of building space, which includes both light industrial and recreational uses. In other words, City Gate's 1988 zoning is entirely consistent with, and permits recreational use, like the conceptual Sports Complex. The principals of City Gate have been investors in Collier County since the 1970s and were pleased to participate in the conceptual discussions with the County on the Sports Complex. We believe that the Sports Complex is would in the best interest for the County and not significantly restrict the development of light industrial,with high-paying jobs,on City Gate.
