by William Vines representing Caxambns Realty, requesting rezoning from
"A" Agriculture, "GC" Golf Course and ""'HRP" "'obile lIome Rental park to
"pud" planned Unit Development for property known as Shamrock Golf and
Country Club.
Planner Lee Layne described the subject property and outlined,its
general focation as lying betweE'n Barefoot Williams Road, Tower Road,
SR-9Sl and US 4l. She said that the developer wishes to develop the
property as a golf c~urse and multifamily development with 740 units.
Ms. Layne referred to the Executive Summary, dated 1/19/81 and
read the contents thereof, including the following changes to the PUD
document that the Cl\PC recommended related .to the subject development:
1. The staff recommended stipulation concerning the
surfacing of Rarefoot williams Road and Tower Road
wo5 eliminated; the Cl\PC feels that should he handle~ as any
other surfacing thr~ugh the MSTD method.
2. The staff stipulation concerning dedication of right-
of-way was changed to read as foll~ws:
"If needed, half (l/?) of the difference between
existing right-of-way and l3S' shall be dedicated
along the east property line for the four laning
of SR-95l with no structures to be located within
CS' of the existing right-of-wa,. Any further
acquisition of right-of-way in excess of l~5' shall
be by purchase by the governmental ~gency."
Ms. Layne added that the developer has also agreed to deed water
and sewe~ facilities to the County Water/Sewer Pistrict; and, in
conjunction with the property to the south, to provide a site and erect
a fire station in this immedlat~ vicinity subject to the building
specifications of the Bast Naples Fire District. Rhe also said that
the stipulation requiring the developer to reserve l/'- additional
parking space in grassed areas for future parking if needed was
inserted into the PUD Document by the CAPe, who has forwarded Petition
R-BO-3BC with a recommendation of approval subject to the amendments

BOOK 059 PACE 74
During a brief discussion regarding the stipulation for the 1/2
parking space that is to be reserved, Commissioner Wenzel asked why the
developer is not requi,red to construct 2 parking spaces as required
within the zoning Ordinance. Ms. Layne explained that the Zoning
Ordinance now allows the developer to request that only 1-1/2 spaces be
constructed immediately per unit, and that the remaining 1/2 space be
reserved until a need is established. She said that this enables the
'..
"
developer to incorporate more open space in a developement, until such
time as it is deterMined that more parking spaces are needed.
Commissioner wimer asked who makes that determination and Mr. William
vines, acting as agent for the developer, said that this is determined
by the residents and that the cost of developing those reserved 1/2
spaces is borne by those residents and not by the developer.
In answer to Commissionr Wimer, Mr. Vines said that the
resurfaCing of B~rcfoot WilliaMs Road and Tower Road was deleted as a
responsibility of the developer because Barefoot williams Road is not
part of the project's access plans and that because th<re is no way to
deterMine the cost of tile resurf/lcing at this time, it was decided that
it is not reason~ble to bind the developer to an "unknown" and "future"
Monetary commitment; a more even distribution of costs will result if
the 5tand~rd ~STD Method is used. He said that in this way all
affected property owners will pay their apportioned cost, If and when
the resurfacing is needed.
Mr. Vines further explained that although the antici?ated widening
of SR 951 presents a real need for the dedication of land by the
developer, the actual amounts of land required is not known'at this
time; therefore the ChPC has deemed what is felt to be an appropriate
"gift" for that purpose by the developer as outlined e~{lier by Ms.
Layne. Ms. Layne added that the developer has agreed to providing, at
his expense, the following:
-
1. h northbound left-turn l~ne and a southbound right-turn
lane, unless lanes have already been provided through
the four-laning of SR 951. These lanes are to be con-
structed prior to the issuance of any certificates of
occupancy.
2. A traffic signal on SR 95l when deemed warranted by the
County F.ngineer. After installation, the sign~l shall
be owned, operated and maintained by Collier county.
Commissioner Brown co~plimented the Planning staff for the manner
in which most concerns were worked out between the developer and the
County prior to this puhlic hearing, and hearing that there were no
re9istereo spenkers who wished to address the subject petition, he
moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner pistor seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.
Ccmmlssioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse and
carried unanimously, that the Ordinance as numhered and entitled below
be adopted, subJect to the amendments to the PUD Jocument recommended
by the Cl\PC; and, that the Petitioner's l\greement to stipulations be
accepted.

S. When warranted, a full operating traffic signal shall

G. Donate necessary additional right-of-way within its
ownership along SR-95l for future four-laning.
7. l\dditional i~provements along qSl which the County feels
will mitigate any adverse impacts caused by this project.
Ms. Layne said that the first four of the above referenced improvements
will be pr~vided by the developer when construction begins; the last
three will have to be provided before more than 500 units are con-
structed at the proposed project. She added that the Petitioner has
also agreed to construct additional raw water transmission facilities
from the rock pit southward along SR 9Sl to the Marco Island Water
,
Treatment plant by 19A4.
Ms. Layne reported that the Cl\PC recommended forwarding the
subject Petition to the Board with a reCOMmendation of approval,
subject to the stipulations concerning the traffic and raw water
transmission facilities by a vote of d/3. She said that the dissenting
votes were because of "piecemealing"., "traffic" and the "number of
units".
In answer to ComMissioner Wimer, Utility Director eerzon stated
that he was satisfied with the terms of the aforemcntioned stipulations
regarding the raw water transr.ission facilities. Commissioner Wenzel
asked Ms. Layne if therc was a possilbility of the density bein9
reduced even further than anticipated due to the large aMounts of land
that may prove undevelopable within the subject property. Ms. Layne
replied affirmatively. However, she noted that a~cordin9 to the ter..
.
o{ the aMendment to the PUP that the devloper wishes to have included
in said document, the developer could request and subsequently receive
permission from the Board to increase the density when 500 units have
b~en constructed and they come back before the Poard for review.
Mr. Jim l\pthorp, representing Oeltona Corporation referred to a
document entitled ^mendment to Page 2-l of Marco Shores PUD Document, a
copy of which he distributed to each Commissioner and the the Clerk.
After giving a brief history of the subject Petition, including the
various entities before which the petition has been carefully reviewed
Mr. l\pthorp ~riefly addressed the status of the suhject property
including the fact that there are no mangroves; no wetlands; and no
"ST" lands involved. He said that in light of all the concerns that
have been brought forth by all the advisory boards, the developer has
worked hard to address each objection and that the developer and the
Collier County Conservancy ha~ developed what he feels is an appro-
priate amendment which addresses all of these concerns.
At the request of County l\ttorney Pickworth, Mr. l\pthorp went over
each paragraph of the amendMent and explained what they mean in rela-
tion to the BCC review that the devloper will see~ at the completion of
500 units.
County Manager ~orman referred to Exibit J, entitled Proposed
Traffic Conditions For ~arco Shores "olf Course pun Zoning Ordinance.
He said that as he understands the last paragraph of said document the
requirement for the donation of :ands for the four-lanlng of SR 951
from the developer only relates to that portion of property that lies
within the holdings of the developer that is a part of the subject
project. He asked if there is any provision for land that may be sold
in the interim period bofore the four-laning of SR qSl commences. Mr.

l\pthorp said that this commitment only relates to property owned by
Deltona, however, he added, it Is Deltona's intent to donate whatever
land is needed from its holdings. lie said that Oeltona would donate
the land now if it were possiblo to determine what amount of land is
required. When asked if he would be agreeable to deed restrictions
that would stipulate that lands were promised to the County for the
widening of SR 9Sl, Mr. Apthorp said that this is not necessary as the
:~
' '.~.
,
"
"
"
amendment alre~dy indicates that the required lands will be from all of
Deltona's holdings.
After a brief description of the raw water transmission facilltes
that Deltona is to dona~e to the County, and in answer to Mr. Berzon's
concern regarding the ownership of the land where the well field Is
located that will provide raw water to the subject project, "'r. ^pt~o~p
said that while this land is leased for 20 years, at this tiMe, if
there were any problems in renewing that lease, there is legal basis on
which to 'nitiate condemnation proceedings as the utilities is con-
sidered a Public Utility.
There was further discussion r~garding the density of the proposed
development and Mr. l\pthorp reminded the Board that the planned density
is in compliance with the County's Master Land Use Plan.
Community Development l\dministrator Terry Virta said that he feels
that he has not had ample timp in which to study the Amendment, to page
2-l of the PUD Ordinance, and that the Planning Staff does not find the
language as precise as it could be, and County l\ttorney pickworth
agreed. Mr. Pickworth said that he would have no objectloh to working
with representatives from Oeltona in an effort to Insert the proper
.
verbage, and he suggested that perhaps the Board could approve the
- :'1
,'t
subject petition in concept today. He said that he is not uncomfort-
able with the contents of the document, simply the wording.
Commissioner Brown said that he did not wish to continue this
matter ~ny more than necessLry, and asked if Mr. pickworth would like
Mr. Apthorp to cover any areas that seemed to pose a problem. Mr.
Pickworth declined, adding that he did not wish to take up time during
a meeting to go over the verbage of a document.
Mr. Apthorp said that this document has been worked on at length
for over a week and that he would favor the Board adopting the run
Ordinance with both of the aforementioned amendments, subject to
Deltona coming back to the BCC with acceptable language for the one
amendment next week.
The following persons spoke in opposItion to the approval of the
subject Petition:
l. Mr. Leigh Plummer, representing the Marco Island Civic
l\ssociation.
2. Charlotte westman, represting the League of Women Voters
of Collier County.
3. J. L. Dutton, property owner along SR Q5l.

efforts on the part of both the developer and tho Conserv~ncy there has
been significant progress made toward the flexibility of the use of!
these lands. He referred to the ~mendment to Page 2-1 of the "'arco
Shores PUD Document that has been developed as a result of the recent
meetings attended by both representatives of the Conservancy and the
developer of Marco Shores. Mr. Yokel said that although he Is pleased
with the progress made, "he feels that because of the tight time
schedule, there are still some problems related with the specific
language within the subject amendment, and that it is his
recommendation that this matter be continued until the Conservancy, the
County ^ttorney , the Planning staff and the developer have the
opportunity to work out the exact language of the amendment.
commissioner Wenzel asked if the devleoper could include all of
unit 30 into the PUD, thus reducing the density significantly, and
Commissioner Brown stated that, in his opinion, this would only result
in a "ficci~ious re~uction., of density.
^fter a brief discussion regarding the Marco Shores PUD document,
Commissioner Brown asked Mr. Yokel if he would be satisfied if the
Board were to approve the petition and adopt the PUD Ordinance before
the language was clarified within the subject amendment and "'r. Yokel
answered negatively. Mr. Yokel said that the Conservancy would have
serious problems with the project without the amendment. Noting that
another delay could be very expensive to the developer Commissioner
Brown asked Mr. Yokel if he would be agreeable to the Board adopting
the PUD document, including the amendment, subject to the language
clarification being worked out and being approved by all concerned.
Mr. Yokel responded negatively, and he urged the foard to give the
'd
, '.~
,!~
Conservancy and the staff more time to work out the lAnguage of the
amendment before they took final action.
Commissioner Brown ~sked ~r. Apthorp if he Is agreeable to con-
tinuing this matter until such time as he and staff, along with ,.,r.
Yokel have worked out the language of the Amendment. Mr. ~pthorp
responded negatively. He said that he has no objections to the
amendment; he would have no objections to a clarification of language
of the amendment, if it seems "unclear" to the staff; however, he would
request that the ,Board adopt the PUD document with both the traffic
amendment recommended by the Cl\PC and the amendment to page 2-1
developed by the Conservancy, suhject to the language being worked out
to the approval of staff. He said that he would he willing to come
back to the Foard for approval ~f the language when it is fully
deve:oped.
Jane Carter, speaking as a citizen, opposed the Board taking any
acti~n ~n the approval of this rezoning until all' the langu~ge of any
amendment is worked out first and all the facts are hefore them. She
referred specifically to the dedication of land for the four-laning of
SR 9Sl, and asked the Board to make sure the land was dedicated before
the rezoning was approved, or, that there was some form of guarantee
that it would he offered to the County and that the developer could not
sell off the required right-of-way before the County took ownership.
Chairma.l pistor explained some of the problems associated with
determining exactly how much land would be required and where that lhnd
must be located. He explained that there are ~any "unknown" factors
that have yet to be determined by the DOT; these factors will be hased
on the the completion of the EIS especially regarding the place~ent of

the two additional laneS of tr~ffic; the environment~l problems
accociated with the placement of those l~nes; and,tho fact that at this
time there is no way to make such a dotermin~tion. J1e further stated
that it is likely that the road (~R 951) will not follow ~ straight

line; rather, it will meander from one side of the present lanes to the
other. Mr. Apthorp has assured the County that wherover it will lie,
Deltona will dedicate the required right-of-way from their holdings,

said Com~i~sioner pistor, who added that he did agreed that the
possiblity of having some sort of a deed restriction on that land would
be wise.
Mr. Glen Thornton"representing the area carpenters, spoke in
favor of the rezoning and noted that it is his feeling that the objec-
tions raised concerning traffic and the environm~ntal effects of
surrounding lands owned by the devleper are unrealistic.
Mr. John Kescll, representing the Southwest Florida Building
Trades Council, spoke in fayor of the rezoning, stating that the
members or thn building trades nE'ed this project to re~ain productive
County ~lanager Norman reported .that a telephone message of oppos-
ition to the subject Petition has been received from Joe Leadabrand,
representing the Isle of Capri Civic l\ssoc. based on traffic and
hurricane da~age potential.
~r. Steve Martin, speakirJ as a concerned citizen, referred to the
"flip-flopping" of recommendations from the various advisory boards
regarding the Marco Shores development from the first time they
reviewed the Petition to the second time. He /Is~led the Community
Development l\dministrator to clarify staff's position on this~propo.ed
rezoning, noting that there was some confusion on the part of the
public due to all of these changes of recommendations "'r. Vilta
responded by saying that his recommendation to the CAPe. was for donia1.
In answer to ChairMAn Pistor, Mr. Virta said that this recommendation
was based, in part, on the recommendations of the various advisory
boards; the required points needed for a favorable recommendation from
the plan~ing staff are acquired for each petition through a favorable
recommendation from these advisory boards. He further statd that at
this time, he is in favor of the concept of the project as it is before
the Board tO~3Y, including the amendment to page 7.-1 of the PUD
,.
Document although he is concerned with the language in the amendment.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the term "piecemealing"
that has been referred to by many of those people opposed to this
project, during which Mr. l\pthorp stated that there are no regulations
Against "piecemealing", and t~at he considers this to be just a word
not a concept. He said that Deltona has nearly l7,OOO acres of land in
Collier County and that a great deal of that land is tied up at this
time in the permitting processes with the DER and the Corps. He said
that the develop"ent of all of this land will he torthconing, as theRe
permits are determined; this is not the time to decide how this land
will be used. He reviewed the facts as Deltona sees them, specifically
covering 'the fact that this proposed project will not require services
that will have to be funded by tax dollars, as the roads will remain
private; the utilities will he p.ovided; and, he reminded the Board
that the property related to the petition before the Board today is not
wetlandR, mangrov~s, nor "ST" land. He said that he believes that
there is no project in the County that has had more review frOM staff,
advisory boards, and the like, than the Marco Shores project, and that

',;
he believes that Deltona has consistantly tried to meet all of the
concerns raised to the hest of their ability. He asked for approval of
this rezoning today.
Commissioner Wenzel asked Mr.Apthorp if he would agree to meet
with Messrs. Yokel, pickworth, and Virta to review the language In the
amendment to rnge ?-l of the PUD Document for Marco Shores and said
that the public hearing'coulo be continued to next week. "'r. Apthorp
asked for a .conceptual" approval of the amendment from the Board.
There was a discussion regarding what action the 80aro would take,
during which it was pointeo out by County Manager Norm~n that the
granting of the PetitioQ requires the Board to adopt an Oroinance, and
that the agreement at issue is in the form of an amendment to that
Ordinance; therefore, the Poard could not adopt the Ordin~nce without
the amendment being finalized. In answer to Commissioner Brown,
l\ttorney Pickworth said that he would recommend that, if the Board
concurs :n favor of the approval of the petition, they can give
approval to all aspects of the matter with the exception of the
amendment today; this would al~ow time for the amendment language to be
worked out and then the Board could adopt the Ordinance next week.
There was some question as to whether or not to close the public
hearing or to continue it until the amendment was finalized and
presented to the Board, during which County Manager Sorman suggested
that the public henring be closed.
Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse that the
public hearing be closed. Mrs. Charlotte Westman spoke in_opposition
to the approval of the petition until all aspects of the amendment are
~
worked out satisfactorily, and said that the League is opposed to the
,{
:~
~
..~~~
petition as it is now before the Board.,
of the amendment that she opposed.
Commissioner Wimer said that he thought that the Planning staff
made a~ independent study and subsequent recommendation regarding
rezoni~g petitions, and said that he was concerned with the statement
that Mr. 'Virta made earlier that his recommendation was based on the
recommendations for denial from the advisory boards. Mr. virta
explained the point system set out In the Zoning Ordinance and the
criteria required to earn that amount of points necessary for the staff
to recommend approval. He said that the staff makes it recommendations
to the Cl\PC; that his was a recommendation of denial; and that the C^PC
reviewed the Marco Shores Petition and suhsequently, forwarded a

priate wording for a motion in ord~r to grant Petition R-eO-~O-C,
including the amendment to page '-l; the latter is to be approved in
concept only until the language is finalized. Attorney pickworth
recommended that the Board approve all aspects of Petition R-PO-4n-C,
with the exception of the amendment to Page '-l of the I'arcn Shores ru~
Document; the final voting on the adoption of the Ordinance is to he
scheduled for 2/l0/8l, thus, allowing for the finalization of the
language within the subject amendement prior to its adoption. Commis-
sioner Brown so moved, and after aSking if the language that is to be

Rf.PORT RE OPf-Rl\TIONS l\T ~l\RCO ISLl\ND INCINERATOR BY PUBLIC WORKS
^~MINISTRl\TOR Al\RKDSl\LE; DISCUSSION THEREOF; NO l\CTION TAKEN
Public Works l\dministrator Clifford Barksdale reported that the
incinerator located in Marco Island has been shut down until certain
repairs can be made at the request of the DER after the first burn at
the site by the new owner. He said that the DER has requested this
because the incinerator malfunction~d and,thus, did not meet DER
regulations for operation. He said that the requ!red parts have been
ordered, nnd that the operation of the incinerator will not comMence
regulations.
Mr. Tom Davis, Engineer for the DER, assured the Board that the

until the DER is satisfied that its operations will meet all
present owner is bringing in from the East Coast; that there is no
threat to the environment through proper operations at the site; and,
that when this incinerator is operating properly there is no smoke nor
orders present.
Mr. Herbert Savage, resident of Marco Island, spoke in opposition
to the Board continuing to allow the new owner to burn hospital waste
in the Marco Island incinerator. He said that although he is sure that
the DER is capable of monitoring the operation, he sees the problem as
a "philisophical" one as this kind of operation and the publicity that
it has aroused is ~etriment~l to the reputation of the Island and will
have a ne'Jative effect on the tourist industry there.
Chairman pistor addressed the inference on the part of the public
that the County ceased using the incinerator because it was not
functioning by stating that the County decided to no longer use the
incinerator on the Island hecause of "capacity. reasons and County
~anger Norman added that another reason was the high cost of fuel.
Commissioner pistor said that the incenerator was being used to burn
confiscated marijuana, however, this was discontinued because the
marijuana burned too hot, and the lining of the incinerator was not
designed for that kind of burn. J1e further stated that the East Coast
is facing an emergency situation in that there is currently no place
for this hospital waste to be burned, and that it is,his understanding

that the Marco Island site will only be used for six months, according
to the sales contract with the present owner.
Mr. James O. Carter o~jected to the use of the incinerator to burn
hospital waste and said that he also objected to the manner in which
the sale of the incinerator was conducted; the people of "'arco did not
realize that it was for sale nor did they know the terms of the
contract that would allow infectious hospital waste to be brought into
Marco Island for disposal. He further stated that he did not believe
that the contract was legally binding as it did not bear the proper
signatures.
There was a genera~ discussion regarding the facilities or lack of
facilities for disposing of hospital waste in Miami, and throughout
Dade and Broward County; the fact that Dade County does not provide its
hospitals with a operable incinerator for this purpose; and the like.
Dr. Cox, collier County Health Director, stated that if there was
ever an~ danger to the health and welfare of the residents of Marco
Island related in any way to the operation of the incinerator of ~arco
Island and the burning of hospital waste, the people of Collier County
would have he,lrd from him before now. He said that he has physically
checked out the incinerator and that it is safe when operated properly.
He said that he has no fear from the health point of view regarding
this operation; it is safe for both the operators and the residents of
the island. In answer to Chairman pistor, Dr. Cox said that he is not
concerned that any germs or bacteria would be emitted from the smoke
stack of the incinerator because there is an afterburner in the stack
tht reaches such high temperatures that nothing living could survive.
In answer to Commissioner Kruse, he said that the Health oep~rtment

~rs. Jane Carter spoke in opposition to the use of the incinerator
on thc Island and noted that she is also concerned with the hazardous
material being trdnsported while in route to Collier County.
Mr. Leigh Plummer, representing the Marco Island Civic
l\ssociation, spoke in opposition to the subject operation at the "'arco
uses the incinerator in East Naples with no problem at all and they are
.
Island incinerator due to the "emotional chargc" generated by the
issue.
Mr. Dave Bruner, speaking as a resident of ~'arco Island spoke in
opposition to the burning of pathological ~aterials on Marco Island.
He said that the residents want it stopped and said that he believes
that the contract with the new ~wner could be considered as non-binding
as it is signed by a secretary; has no corporate seal; and is not
signed properly by an officer of the corporation. He said that he
thinkS that this document could be considered as an offer on the part
of the County and that because it is not properly signed, the offer has
not been accepted. He also said that according to the County permits
issued by the DER, this particular type of waste is not covered as
perr:lissllble. He referred to what he termed. .pathological waste" ani!
said that this would fall into the Type ~ and that the permit is for
Type l,?, and 3 waste only. He also said that he believes that the
County did not follow standard advertising procedures wh~n it
advertised the incinerator for sale.
In answer to commissioner pistor, Mr. Parksdale said that Naples
Community Hospital has burned the same kinds of waste at the same
incinerator in Marco for over R years, and that the DER has permitted

this and has inspected the incinerator during this time. Mr. Davis
sai" that the permit for the Marco Island incinerator, dated 9/79 is
for Type 0,1,' and 3 waste and does not cover hum~n pathological waste.
lie said that legally Mr. Bruner is probably correct and that the permit
does not cover that type of waste because the County did not request
it; the incinerator is capable of properly burning Type ~ waste.
Commissioner wimer said that he understands the feelings of the
rcsidcnts rf M~r~o Island and would like to see the operation moved
from the Island as soon as possible.
In answer to Commissioner pistor, County Attorney pickworth said
that he is comfortable with the legality of the contract and that he
feels that the County is committed to same. He said that to try to
break this contract could put the County in the liable position.

EXPANSION OF SEWAGE TRF.l\T~F.~T PLl\NT FACILITIES RE GLADES, INC.
(CONTINUED FROM l/(,/?l l\GENDl\l - REFERRED TO STl\FF FOR FURTHER REVIEW
l\NO RF.CO~MENDl\TION
It was mentioned by Chairman pistor that the matter of the
expansion of the sewage treatment plant facilities of the Glades, Inc.
development was being addressed at this time in order to accommodate
those interested persons present.
~
Utilities Division Director Berzon explained that in No~ember of
1980 Glades, Inc. requested the Board to hear their request for
';1
:f:
.,
j
t!
'. :.:~
exclusion of the development's facilities from the East Naples sQrvice
area - known officially as the South Half of Area B. He said that, in
order for the public to be made IIWllre, the request was placed on the ,....
published agenda and emphasized that there has been no action taken to
date. Mr. Berzon pointed out that the Executive Summary dated December
1, 1980 ~utlines the situation as it now exists and called upon the
developer's representative for a formal presentation of the request.
Attorney Harold Smith advised that the main reason for requesting
an exemption is because the plant is ~ new sewer treatment facility
which has just been constructed at a very high cost and the developer
would like to be able to work with the County to set up an agreement
which would allow them to, essentially, work for the benefit of
everyone involved. lie said thift it is a complicated matter IInd not
something to be decided on a quick basis without further study. Some
of the reasons for proceeding with the construction, said Attorney
S~ith, were the lack of regional facilities and the need for irrigation
water. lie noted that the !'latter has been explained in more detail in
his letter to the Board members dated December 10, l~PO. In
conclusion, l\ttorney Smith said that he and the developers would like
to have some guidelines set up by the County staff and urged the ~oard
to permit thel'1 to go further into the day-to-day details with the
appropriate staff members.
Commissioner Wenzel suggested that the question COUld be resolved
by the developer accepting a franchise similar to those i~ existence
elsewhere in the County; however, he said that it would have to bo a
County franchise. Attorney Smith pointed out that, in his opinion, the

said that he would prefer an agreement.
Commissioner Wenzel moved that it is the feeling of the Board that
the franchise idea would be acceptable provided that it meets all of
the criteria of the staff. The motion died for lack of a second.

Mr. Berzon voiced the opinion that it would be extremely premature
for the 80ard to take any specific action other than to direct the
i
I
I
rlppropri~t~ ~taff meMb~rs to delve into the matter and report back to
the Board with a recommendation as to how it can best be handled. He
pointed out that the area in question is identified as part of the
Federal "20l" study for,the Naples sewage treatment plant expansion
and, by violating that plan, there could be complicated legal problems
including the possibility of jeopardizing grants for the treatment
facility. He further suggested that a precedent could be initiated
which could lead to additional problems and urged the Board not to act
in haste.
County pttorney pickworth said that there were some subtle
differences of emphasis being discu~sed which are crucial - notably
that it is his understanding that the Board is being asked to make the
ultimate decision immediately as to exempting the Glades from the
aforementioned District following which the staff would be directed to
work out the details. He citnd an example of how staff direction can
be misinterpreted and asked that the Board's action be clearly'
understood.
Mr. Stanley Hole, of Hole, foIontes Associates, Inc., project
engineers, observed that the Glades has constructed and been permitted
-

to recycle water for irrigation purposes. He s~id that concept, as
opposed to alternate methods of discharge, receives his support.
folr. Harrison lIubschman, of the Glades, Inc., stilted his opposition
to the basic franchise agreement of the County which, he said, contains
,,'
.
points which can never be agreed to - i.e. that the Glades' system be
made ineffective by the regional system. lie said it is their desire to
keep the system independent, irregardless of whether or not it is
operated by the developers, or ,sold and operated by another entity, in
order that the water resource is kept on the property. "'r. Hu~schman
asked that a decision be made as to whether or not the staff is willing
to work toward an agreement or to "stick to their franchise and demand
that we meet their requirements". It was pointed out by Attorney
pickworth that the staff works for the Board of County Commissioners
who ~re employed by the 82,000 p~ople who live in the County and whose
interests must come first.
Mr. william ,..itchell, resident of the Glades Subdivision, inquired
as to what protection the Glades' residents will have from the
developers setting rates, noting the substantial increases imposed
recently without explanation. He said that if the rates are regulated
he is in favor of the proposal.
~'r. Dwight Sartwell, Glades resident; concurred with the previous
speaker's comments, ndding that the utility is being built on
specula~ion with the hope of adding other developments to the system.
lie pointed out that the rates being chargcd are double the amount
charged in the City of I'laples, and other areas. lie addcd that the
affected rcsidents should not have to pay for the dcveloper's capital
outlay on the system which has ohviously becn'built for three or four

~r. Serzon observed that it mi9ht be approprIate, if the ordlnanco i
with regard to utility franchises is examined, to see if they can be
made applicable to utilities that serve within their own developments.
lie said that it is important, at this point, to make certain that there
is no pre-judgment on the course of action to be taken, recommending
th~t the matter be reviewed and a report to the Board be forthcoming.
To respond to comments from the public, l\ttorney Smith said that
there have been steps taken regarding chdrges, as addressed in a letter
to Commissioner Kruse, in that the County, after an experimental
period, would have jurisdiction over any rate increases in the area
Chairman pistor said that he would like to have ~he staff make a

that the proposal be kept 3eparate from any modification of the

recommendation to the 80ard with regard to franchises before any
decision is made pertaining to the case in question, noting that the
problem will be coming up periodically in the coming Months and years
and should be resolved in light of the entire County.
Commissioner Kruse stated, so that the record would be clear, that
when the matter was discussed in her office it was emphasized that her
primary concern was that strong control be kept over what is being
charged regording utilities. She said that the letter referred to by
the developer's representative indicating that the matter had been
discussed was given to Mr. Berzon and included in the regular Board
correspondenc:e.
Pursuant to additional brief discussion, Commissioner Wenzel moved
that the ~taff be directed to further review the m3tter and report back
to the Board with a recommendation. Commissioner Brown seconded the
motion which carried by unanimous vote.

Zoninq nircctor pcrry called the Board's Attention to the
background infor~ation contained in the Executive Summary dated January
l5, 1981 to apprise the commissioners of the situation regarding the
wced lien assessment imposed on ~s. Gertrude Costello's property
loc~ted on Lot 133, Block #35, Naples Park Unit ,~, resolution to this
effect adopted by the Roard on Nove~ber 4, 19RO. "'r. Perry st~ted that
due to the e~treme vvergrown condition of the subject lot the costs
incurred to abate the nu'sance are not excessive nor unwarranted. It
was notp.d by Mr. Perry that upon receipt of the assessment in the
amount of $400.00 Ms. Costello sent a letter of appeal to the Board
requesting a hear'ng on the matter.
Ms. Costello reported to the Board that she had received an
estimate for mowing the property in the amount of $'-~O.OO; however, due
to thc f~ct the work could not be done until later, the estimate was
increased to $300.00. In the meantime, said ~s. Costello, the County
proceeded to clear the lot for the ahove-referenced cost of S400.00.
It was sugqesteo by Ms. Costello that the costs were excessive and also
that, in her opinion, the parcel did not have to be cleared to the
extent that it WAS. Mr. Perry explained that, due to tho heavy
equipment needed hecause of the vp.getation, the costs ',ere reasonable.
Ms. Costello also brought out the fact that adjacent lots have not "been
subject to complaints nor have they been cleared to such an extent as
her property. She displayed picturos to illustrate her allegation..
The type of Vfgetation removed from tho property was discussed
~
with Commissioner wimer expressing concern over the removal of palmetto
bushes~ and the like, which he said are not noxious, a health hazard
nor a fire hazard, and, in this regard, faulted the county ordinance
involved.
It was pointed out by County Manager Norman that the appeal waS
not based on whether or not a nuisance existed but, rather, on whether."'
or not the costs were excessive and stated further that it has been the
practice to clear lots completely so they can be easily mowed and
maintained in the future.
Following hl~ comments that the charge for the wo~k done. was
justified and that he would like changes made in the ordinance,
Commissioner Wime~ moved that the p.oard pay the difference between the
quoted price of $7.~o.no and the actual cost of $400.00 - $1~0.00. The
motion w~s seconded by Commissioner Prown.
^ brief discussion followed with regard to the repercussions which
could follow wi th re<Jard to other simila'r assessments, liens ancl the
like.
Upon call for the question, the motion on the floor failed '/~
with Commissioners \'enzel, Krllse llnd pistor voting in opposition.
There was a short discussion pertaining to the llclministrative
costs involved in processing the complllints'with ~r. PE'rry stating that
the County only receives Slo,nO per assessment to cover these costs,
the balance being the actual charges for the work done.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, with regret, to deny the appelll with
Commissioner Kruse seconding the motion, also with regret. The motion
carried ~/l with Commissioner wimer voting in opposition and
Commissioner Brown temporarily absent at the time of the vote.
Commissioner Wimer requested that the staff be instructed that the

County is not in the land-clearing business, such was not the intent of
the particular ordinance, and put the request in the form of a motion.
Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion with the comment thnt
instructions that explicit trees, certain bushes, and the like, are not
to be touched without the approvnl of the property owner.
Mr. Norman addressed a problem which he said Is sure to oevelop in
that there are rats, snakes, fire hnzards, and the like, which make it
impossible to mow certain properties and said that, if he interprets
the Board's direction properly, the staff would simply determine that
such areas could not he dealt with since the staff would not be
authorized nor qualified to clear such lands.
Deliberation followed concerning the dumping of garbage and debris
on vacant 10 ts with Comm i 55 ioner Kruse expces!' i ng the opin ion that ~,he
direction of the ordinance must be re-established to determine what
constitutes a health hazard, pointing out that rats and snakes arc not
so conSidered hut, rather, Jdentified as part of the Florida
landscilping.
Chairman pistor cillled for the yote on the question on the floor
which carried unanimously.
Commissioner winer moved that the staff be instructed to rodefine
the areas that constitute health and fire hazards under the pertinent
ordinance and bring hack to t~e Board, posthaste, proposed changes in
the ordinance and, if a written intent is needed to accompany the
ordinance, that should be considered also since, said the Commissioner,
oftentimes the intent and the "legalese" are two different-"things-.
Commissioner Kruse seconded the motion adding, with the approval of the
~
maker, that clarification of the problem with regard to the dumping of
I
construction debris on v~cant lots be included for consideration. The
motion was carried by un~nimous vote.
Commissioner Wimer moved thftt the Zoning Department and the
Sheriff's Department be instructed and/or requested to follow through
more diligently i~ apprehending persons illegally dumping construction
debris, or the like, on vacant properties instead of pursuing the
property owners. Commissioner Kruse seconded the motion which c~rried
by unanimous vote.
Commissioner Kruse clarifled for the record that the land-cle~ring
and weed ordinance is the same example as the current controversy with
the dumpster enclosure ordinance in that it "got out of hand lower in
the staff level" even though well-intentioned.
ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTRACT WITH l\MERIC~N AMAULANCE, INC. TO PROVIDE l\~
AMBULl\NCF FOR THE EVERGLAPER CITY RFl\FOOD FESTIVAL _ DENIED
Public Safety Aoministrator Hafner informed the Board that it is
being recomMended that a contract with l\merican l\mbulance, Inc. be
drawn up to provide a Basic Life Support ambulance to stand by in
Everglades City during the Reafood Festival. Responding to
Commissioner Wenzel, Mr. Hafner said that the County would pay for the
service since the ambulance firm's budget do~s not cover such activity,
adding that he considers It to be a public safety function. Mr. H~fner
pointed out that althouqh ambulances are provided for other community
functions such as football games, in TilE instllnce under discussion the
nearest ambulance station is 39 miles from the site, adding th~t, in
his opinion, it would be unfair for the firm'to pay the extr~ ti~e of
the employees involved plus providing the vehicle.
Commissioner Kruse moved that the County Man~ger negotiate a
BOOK 059 PAcr147

BOOK 059 PACE 148
contract with American Ambulance, Inc. to provide a ~~sic Life Support
(BLS) unit fully staffed for the Seafood Festival in Everglades City
and assure that such ambulance will not cause a departure from the
level of services provision of the Management l\greement hetween the
-
County and l\merican l\mbulance, Inc. County ~anager ~orman suggested
that the word .contract" be deleted in favor of a purchase order which
would suffice - the est~mated cost being $2l0.no for the two days of
the Festival. fie added that the firm is not obligated to provide the
service un~er their Agreement with the County. Commissioner pistor
seconded the Motion for further discussion.
ComMissioner Kruse voiced her concern over leaving 10,000 persons,
perhaps, at the far end of the County without some type of emergency
support.
Upun call for the question, the motion was ~efeated 1/3 with
Co~missioner Brown absent at the time of the vote and Commissioners
Wimer, Wenzel and pistor voting in opposition. (Note: Later in the
Session, Commissioner Brown indicated his support of the motion
establishing a vote of 2/3 for denial)
Mr. Norman informed the Board that a letter was written by lhe
aMbulance firm, da ted .1anUil ry 7.2, 1981, to the Festi val sponsors to the
effect that, due to the restrictions of the new contract with the
County, they can no longer have an aMbulance unit stand by at special
events at no charge.
It was pointed out by Commissioner Wenzel that, since the affair
is Cor Charity, that Festival funds be used for the subject purpose.
Commissioner Wimer moved that a letter be written to both American
Ambulance and to "'r. Robinson, Organized Fisherme~ of Florid&, sponsora
.':"
of the Festival, stating that the County has no restrictions a9ain~t
American Ambulance, Inc. supplying an ambulance for the Festival - in
.
fact, they are encburaged to do so as they have in prior years.
Assistant County Attorney Pires explained that the anbulance
company is permitted to perform the service if the quality of service
in the County is not lowered; i.e. to make sure that the rest of the
County is covered as per the Agreement.
Commissioner Wenzel seconded Commissioner Wi~er's motion which
carried 4/1 with 'Commissioner Kruse vot,ing in opposition.
Note: Later in the Session, following the recess, Commissioner
Wimer said that he conversed with Mr. Jack eridenthal of l\merican
Ambulance on the telephone and was advIsed that a BLS unit will be sent
to cover the Festival at no charge. The problem, said the
Commissioner, appeared to be a lack of communication and understanding.

Supervisor of Elections ~ary Morgan addressed the Board for the
purpose of providing additional information with (egard to tha Request
for Rudset l\mcndment for the Elections Department, distributed with the
~gcnda, together with attachments. She said that there is a definite
need to make changes in the of.ice layout and for the equipment listed
in orner to ensure the more efficient utilization of space and
personnel. Tn re-examining the request, said Ms. ~organ, and pursuant
to conferring with Fiscal Officer Hall, it w~s found that there are
changes which can be made; i.e. Page 3 of the ~genda material, Item A,
pertaining to the renovation at the County Barn for storage and
workspace area for voting machines and related paraphernalia. She said
that she has received an estimate of $5,000 for the project, however,
Mr. Hall has advised that there is sufficient money in the 0-5 ^ccount
to cover the item, pointing out that Clerk Reagan is r;questing
renovation of a portion of the space for his purposes.
Mr. J1all explained that the entire second floor of the Barn I. for
the most part unusable because of the intense heat during certain tl...
of the year. Responding to Commissioner Wenzel as to whether or not
the space is needed and will be used, Mr. Hall replied that there are
.
certain records, other than just the Cierk's records, which have to be
retained and suggested that it might be wcll to consider this when
making a decision as to what will be done.
Commissioner Wenzel said that in order to protect the records it
would be neces~~(y to install a sprinkler system. Ms. Morgan said that
this aspect was not considered for inclusion in the cost estimate. f,he
pointed out that 'an alarm system can bE' connected to the closest fire
station with Commissioner Wenzel stating that he would definitely have
an alarm system included in the renovation.
Clerk Reagan pointed out that one reason the space is not being
1/
used !s bQci"usp. it is not iusulated. H~ als~ s~in !-hAt he cO'llc1 not
stor~ records there from,a security standpoint, along with humidity
problems which he said could not be controlled with insulation. ~e
said he eE~imated that he could use about one-hali of the space and
suggested that the entire space be renovated.
There was a brief discussion with regard to t~e use of the entire
square footage involved with Ms. Morgan cxplaining th~t she could use
at least BOO squarc feet if the entire area is insulatcd; however, she
expressed concern over "running Mr. Reagan out" with Mr. Rcagan
aoox 059 'ACE 171

. ~~.
BOOK 059 PACE172
responding that regardless of whether or not the space is used for
Board records, or for other purposes, the space should be utilized.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and
unanimously carried, that Fiscal Officer Hall be authorized to use
appropriate funds to insulate and seal the second floor space at the
County Earn for use by both the Supervisor of Elections and the Clerk.
Oth~r modifications to the requested budget were suggested hy Ms.
Morgan nnong them a re~uction in the figure fJr flat panels for the
portable wall in her office from SI,07.~ to S9~~.; One less leveler for
the panels for a reouction of ~7.~.; deferring purchase of various
equipment needs until the next budget year. ~s. Morgan stressed the
need for the equipment hut explained that some of the equipment, as
-
~cJl ~s voter registration/purge costs could be postponed until the new
fiscal year. lIo~lever, she said the need for the seven typewriters, as
well as the letter opener, is urgent. In conclusion, Ms. ~organ said
that by oeleting the various items mentioned, the budget request is
reduced from S~l,7~J to S7.J,l27.
''"r. lIall said th.1t the appropriation would llave to be made from
the Contingency Fund, with the exception of the renovation items which,
he said, have bpen budgeted. lie added, responding to Commissioner
Wenzel, that both f.lections Budgets are "pretty tight" with no funds,
to his knowledge, which can be applied against the aMended Budget
Request.
Ms. ~organ r~inted out that if there is a requirenent to do a
portion of the voter purge prior to the beginning of the new budget
year she may have to come back to the Board for additional funds, the
-
same possibility also exists with legard to the nata Processing prograM
modifications for which no cost estimatos have b~en obtained aa yet.
Commissioner ~rown moved for approval of the modified ~udget
Request for the Supervisor of P.lections In the amount of $23,127, that
the Fiscal Officer be authorized to prepare the appropriate Budget
AmendMent; and that County Manager Norman be directed to have the
aforesaid insulation of the County Barn area completed by "'arch 15,
1981. Commenting that Ms. Morgan, in the five years that she worked
for the Board of County Commissioners, was always frugal with
taxpayers' dollars, Commissioner Wimer seconded the motion which
carried by unaniMOUS vote.
Note: l\t this time (3:45 ~.M.) Commissioner Wenzel left the

Supervisor, FDP-R, to Gary Beyrent with regard to File No. ll-34070-SP.,
Dock and Revetment.
Dr. Ha,mic explained that the subject pertains to An
after-the-fact permit application and, therefore, the contractor has
already been taken to court, found quilty, and fLied for constructing a
seawall without a permit. The DEll, said Dr. J1armic, has proposed, as
one of their stipulations, that revegetation take place, and,
therefore, it is his recommendation that the after-the-fact permit be
approved with the stipulation that the applicant (Mr. Peyrent) sign an
agreement with the Zoning Department to finish the revegetation process
