During Committee discussion, the following was noted:
• Concern that the timing of impact fee revenue collections and expenditures are not
coordinated in timing ensuring the improvements are available at the time of the demand.
• The Regional Planning Council provides input through a representative on the Technical
Advisory Committee.
• One cost effective measure to address impacts is improving the traffic light sequencing
during peak times.
• Alternate intersection designs such as continuous flow should be considered given the area
available in the large footprints of existing intersections.
• Other concepts to be considered should be narrowing to promote safer vehicle speeds and
traffic calming.

6. Member and Citizen Comments (topics not covered)
Meredith Budd, Florida Wildlife Federation, supports utilizing the previous 5 year update's
recommendations including the data related to the Florida Panther,
Brad Cornell,Audubon of the Western Everglades expressed concern the public may not recognize
the connection between the HCP and the RLSA. Certain recommendations contained in the five year
update previously prepared in 2010 should be utilized as a basis for consensus between parties at the
time (i.e. utilizing agriculture credits in the program, etc.).
Alan Reynolds noted there is an abundance of historic data on the issue a large amount of public input
was garnered during the previous 5 year review. Staff is providing good summaries of the workshops
and supports moving forward with recommendations and proposed amendments.
Linda Penniman queried on the rationale for a density of 7 units per acre as the intensity may need to
be larger to ensure an adequate population base creates a viable mixed use area(i.e. 12 units per acre as
in the City of Naples).
