ORDINANCE NO. 81-5 RE PETITION R-BO-32C REQUESTING REZONING FROM "RM-2"
AND "RM-2ST: TO VARIOUS ZONINGS FOR NU~EROUS MULTI-FAMILY ^RE~S WITHIN
THE CAPO - ADOPTED AS AMENDED AND PUBLIC HEI\RING ON PARCEL "M", CON-
TINUED FOR 30 DAYS. BUILDING PERMIT MORATORIUM FOR 30 DAYS IMPOSED ON
PARCEL "M"
Lcgal notice having bccn published in thc Naplcs Daily Ncws on
January 9, 1981 as evidcnced by Affidavit of PublicRtion filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider a proposed ordinance re
Petition R-80-32C requcsting rezoning from "RM-2" and "RM-2ST" to
various zonings for numerous multifamily areas within the Coastal I\rea
Planning District.
Community Dcvclopment I\dministrator Terry Virta explained that the
Board directed the st3ff last spring to examine all "RM-2" property in
Collier County and determine whether thcrc may ~e more approprllte
zoning classifications for those lRnds. The Planning Department
n~rro\;ed the parcel~ to twenty-two (22) specific sites on which
detailed analysiG was done including field inspections and examination
of past records resulting in a thorough evaluation, he said. Mr. Virta
noted that of th~ twenty-two sites, the staff recommended zoning
changes on twenty-one (21), and the CAPC reviewed the twenty-two (22)
sites on December 18, 1980; further revised the recommendations and
recommended the fifteen (l5) sites for zoning changes which are
represented on today's agcnda.
Mr. Virta explained that in the process of examining the sites,
the staff eliminated parcels of land from consideration by using the
following criteria:
l. Property which was surrounded by "RM-2" zoned land
and developed in that category.
2. Lands which wcre under construction on an "RM-2"
basis.

3. 1~ose lands which wcre platted in such a way that
they could not be utilized' under the ~aximum
limitations of "RM-2" , i.e. although eligi~le for
up to 30 dwelling units pcr acre, practically,
beC~U5e of size, shape of parcel, etc. developmment
to that amount is not possible.
Mr. Virta said that a slide presentation would allow the Commis-
sioners to examine the parcels of land individually and review the
recommended zoning changes for each piece of property. He suggested
that on completion of the presentation the staff taKe eac~'site
individually and review the specifics in more detail and open that site
up for discussion from the public. At the conclusion of the dis-
cussion, he said the staff would like a straw vote from the Board for
that site and that this process be repeated for the entire fifteen (15)
sites, so that if there are amendments to the ordinance these can be
made at the time of final adoption later today.
Mr. Virta proceeded with the slide presentation with Planner Lee
Layne describing the parcels of land and the recommended zoning change
for eac;, site. lit the request of Commissioner Wenzel, Ms. Layne
explained the present density zoning and the resultant density after
the recommended zoning change for each parcel of land. Ms. Layne noted
the density for "RM-2" ranges from 9 to 30 units per acre; "RM-l"
density is 6.2 units per acre; and "RM-IB" density is 12 units per
acre.
At the conclusion of the slide presentation, a short discussion
followed regarding the clarification for the method of voting for this
ordinance. County Manager Norman suggested a solution would'be to have
.
a motion to adopt the ordinance on tho floor, 'with individual motions
to amend the ordinance to be made sho~ld.the Board desir~ to make
. .
. .

..

,
changes in the recommended zoning designation as the parcels of land
are reviewed. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner
. . .
Wimer, to adopt the ordinance on the floor sUbJect to amendments. At
. . . .
. ,.
this time, Commissioner Wenzcl stated he felt the cnanges were very
liberal and he would prefer the density be cut much lower for the
parcels of land, but he would "go along with a half a loaf".
Parcel "8" in Little Hickory Shores - From "RM-2" to "RM-l"
Planner Richard Henderlong indicated parcel "B" on an overhead
board and said the land is currcntly zoned "RM-2" and that properties
to the north, east and south are zoned "RS-4", single family, and
exirting developmcnt has occurred in those locations. He stated the
proposal is to :hange the density to "~M-l", and maximum building
height to be three stories. Planncr Lee Layne said the Planning
Department had a request yesterday from the petitioner to amend this
zoning to "nM-lB" and in response to Commissioner Kruse, Ms. Layne said
that designation was discussed by the CAPe but because of the large
amount of existing single family homes in the surrounding areas, the
recommendation was lcft for "RM-l". .
In response to Chairman Pistor, Ms. Laync said a letter had been
received requcsting a stay order for this parcel and parccl "N", as the
petitioner has no problem \~ith the "RM-1B" designation.
Attorney Toby Carroll, representing the land owner, Mr. Jerry
Grunnagle, presented a compromise regarding the zoning designations on
parcels "D" and "N" in the form of a letter filed some time ago before
the Board and the CAPC, a copy of which was rcferred to the County
Attorney by Commissioncr Wimer. Mr. Carroll explained the petitioner
would agrce to have both parcels zoncd from 30 units to 12 units per

Commissioner Wimer noted he
change entirely. After a short discussion
understood that Mr. Carroll was asking for this compromise rather than
to have the petitioner litigate, and Mr. Carroll affirmed this
statement. Comm~ssioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse,
based on the request'of the petition~r, to amend the ordinance so that
parcel "B" will be rezoned "RM-1B", with Commissioner Wimer noting
parcel "N" is already designated "RM-1B". County Manager Norman noted
Mr. Grunnagle was present and cegistered to speak but Mr. Carroll was
representing him. Upon call for the question, the vote was 3/2 with
Commissioners pistc: :.nd Wenzel ooposed.
Parcel "D" in Sec. 3, T50S, R26E - From "RM-2" to "RM-1B"
Planner Layne explained this proposed change, at the CAPC's reco-
mendation, is for a deGignation from "RM-2" to "RM-IB", noting the
property to the east is GHC, to the wes~ is agricultural, to the
south~ast is "GRr", and to the north is "PUD" zoning. Responding to
Commissioner Wenzel, Ms. Layne affirmed that "RM-2" density varies from
9 to 30 units ppr acre depending upon the apartment size and this
proposal is to take the zoning to "RM-IB" which is 12 units per acre.
Also in response to Commissioner Wenzel, Ms. Layno said Jhe did not
think a consideration of the original high density zoning was a factor
in this zoning evaluation change. She explaincd that, since this
,
property was directly next to "GRC" zoned proporty, the staff felt a
g~rden type, three story zoning would be better than "RM-l", which was
the original recommendation and would allow single family, duplex
zoning.

Commissioner Kruse asked if the staff had heard from the property
.
owners and if staff was absolutcly sure they had received notification
to which Ms. Layne '1nswert;!d affirmatively regarding notification, but
she said the owners were not at the hearing and no letters had been
received from them.
Parcel "E" in Sec. 3, TSOS, R26E - From "RM-2" to "RM-IB"
Planner Layne explained this property is next to a commercial,
agricu'tur~l, and industrial area and "RM-lB", multi family, would be
morc appropriate, than "HM-l". In rcsponse to Commissioner Wenzel, Ms.
Layne stated "HM-IO" allows duplexes and clarified that "RM-l" is 6.2
unit~ per acrc while "RM-IO" is 12 units per acre.
In re5pOnE! to Com~issioner Kruse, Ms. Layne stated the parcels
"D" through "G" are combined under item (2) because their locations are
next to each other and not because of ownership. Commissioner Wenzel
commcnted he still felt this zoning change was too liberal, as he would
be in favor of 6 units pcr acre. Chairman Pistor noted the zoning
shollld be consistcnt to avoid spot zoning.
Parcel "F" in scc, 3, TSOS, R7.GE - From "HM-2" to "RM-lB"
Planner Layne identified this parcel in the same general location
as the two previolls sites, an~ added the zoning to the north is com-
mercial, to the south is "RM-l", and to east and west is aqricultural,
,.
garden type apartments, thus the "RM-IB" zoning designation.
Parcel "G" in Sec. 3, TSOS, R26E - From "RM-2~ to "RM-lB"
Planner Layne explained this parcel of land as one in the same
general location and with thc same type of adjoining zoning as tho
three prcvious sites, commercial to the north and west, "RM-l" to the
east and south, and also agricultural to the south. Shc noted the

owner came into the Planning Department~ and he had no objections to
"RM-lB" which was recommended by the CAPC. Chairman Pistq.r (;ommentlOd
.
that there is no access to any of this property to which Ms. Layne
agreed stating there is access only to the commercial areas and access
would have to be resolved with owners in the future, or there may be
something specified in the deeds of which the Planning Department does
not have copies. In response to Com:, issioner Wimer, Ms. Layne said
there were no contacts from the property owners except the owner of
parcel "G".
Parcel "I" in Sec. 17. T48S, R2SE - From "RM-2ST" to "RM-1ST-
..
Planner Lee Layne identified this parcel as located in the Wiggins
Pass area surroundcJ I J the east hy "RM-l" and "RM-ST-, to the west is
the Wiggins Pass and the bay area and to the south is "RT" zoning. She
said the recommendation is to take it to "RM-lST". In response to
this parcel and responding to Commissi~ner Kruse, Ms. Layne said
Chairman Pistor, Mr. Norman said no person was registered to speak on
nothing had been heard from the property owner.
Parcel "J" in Unit lS Marco Beach Subdivision _ From "RM-2- ,
"RM-2ST"to "RM-l" and "RM-ST"
Planner Lee Layne described this parcel which Planner Richard
Hend~rlong indicated on an overhead board as located in the Marco area
on the way to Goodland. She explained the zoning to the north is "np-,
to the east and west is "RS-3", and to the south and southwest is
Barfield Bay area and "A-ST". She noted this si~e was one which was in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan but the recommended "RM-l- would
.
be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. She noted Oeltona
representatives were at the hearing with objections but staff pointed

r
out.to them that du~ing the Comprehensive plan hearings in 1979 the
Company made a rcquest to "take it down" to the 6.2 units per acre.
Mr. James Apth~rp, r~presenting Deltona Corporation, explained the
company registered a complaint because it is difficult to determine
what the future construction and development in this area will be. He
said when the Board adopted the Comprehensive Plan the Board noted that
in the Marco Shores areas and the parcel "J" area there would be
develo~~ent on a certain portion of it and the gross density would be
6.25, and he said Dcltona did their computations based on this area and
the area to the south, which is presently agricultural, to obtain a
grOtA J&nsity. Mr. Apthorp Rtated he still registered the objection
and informed th~ Board that Deltonu Corporation will be back on the
question of zoning and density in this area once the permitting has
been determined, and he added it is too early to tell if the "RM-l" is
appropriate.
After a short discussion, Mr. Apthorp responded to Commi~sioner
Brown by saying this parcel is part of the Big Key Barfield Bay area
which is the subject of the litigati6n, and he stated he felt a better
decision would be not to take a zoning action at this time, but defer
it until some of the litigatio~ matters are resolved. CommiSSioner
Brown moved, in fairness to the petitioner, that zoning action be
deferred until some of the litigation matters are resolved. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Chairman Pistor asked if this area is zoned "RM-l" and at the time
permits are granted if some other type of zoning is more approprlato,
could not Deltona ask for that zoning at that time or would this
present a hardship? Mr. Apthorp answered that Some of the area Is

upl<lnd,
some
a sol"ution would be to take
the upland and put morc density on it, but he added these are unknowns
.
because the Corporation does not know what they will be allo~ed to use
in the environmental permitting process. A short discussion followed
with Mr. lIpthorp pointing out that at the time the Comprehensive Plan
was adopted the Board indicated that certain areas at Marco Island were
the subject of litigation and the sub~ect of permitting, and they would
be dealt with at a later time; he added that even though the Board sets
<l density here, that "footnote" was made and consistent with that
footnote, he wanted the BO<lrd to know that Deltona Corporation will be
back to discuss the zonin~ further regardless of the action on the
petition before the 30ird today.
In response to Commissioner Brown, Mr. ^pthorp said at present the
~ituation is ~aiting for a decision from the court. Commissioner Brown
stated he is opposed to passing judgment upon something that is "hung
up in the vagaries of the courts". He sfmpathized with the petitioner
for the the recorn.
Parcel "K" in Sec. 6, T52S, R26E - From "RM-2" t~ "RM-lB"
planner Lee Layne described this property, which Planner Hender-
long i~di~<lted on the overhead map, known as Point Capri on the south-
western edge of Isles of Capri. She stated the zoning t the north is
"RS-4", and to thc cast is "R~-2", which is the Marco Tower site.
Attorney John Emerson, representing property owners for parcel
"K", explained he did not receive a notice of th[s hearing, and
rClucsted that the zoning discussion for parcel "K" be deferred until a
future date, when he can participate or at least until the noon recess
..
of court tod~y, because,h~ ts unable to remain now.

Ms. Layne ~tatcd the propcrty owner on thc tax rolls who was

Fir~t Service Corporation, located in Akron, Ohio. The letter was sent
and returned tc the Clerk's office on January 15, 1901 for "Not
Forwardable - Incorrcct Address". Attorney ~lcQuinn stated that if the
Planning Department followed legal requirements to give notice that was
sufficient.
Commissioner \'ienzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that
the Board acccpt the staff's recommcndation for zoning change from
"RM-2" to "RM-lB" for parcel "K". Commi~sioner Wimcr noted the Board
had decidcd not to take a "straw" vote if the Board accepts the recom-
mended Zoning. However, he noted in fairness to Mr. Emerson, Commis-
sioner Wimer assumcd this item would still bc deferred until the last
item in this ordinance discussion until Mr. Emerson was present. Ms.
L,)yne concurred.

..~
and "RS-4"; and to the south, "R~-2" with the recommendati~n to
"nM-IB". Commissioner Wenzel ~xpressed his opinion that this area
never should have been allowed such high density and asked why the
current recommendation is not dropped back to 6 units per acre or to
duplexes, since the area is completely surrounded by single family
hous~s and duplexes.
Zoning Director Jeffory Perry stated that before 1974 this area
was zoned a medium den~ity, "MF-3" district; when multi-family
districts were converted in 1974, five (5) districts were reduced to
(2) districts and this ar€a went to a high density category. He said
what the staff is ~:orJsing now i~ to zone down to medium density
again. Co~missioner Wenzel expressed his opinion that "ruM-1B" is too
liberal, and moved to amend the proposed ordinance so that parcel "L"
be zoned "RM-l", 6 units per acre maximum. Commissioner Wenzel's
motion died for lack of a second.
In re~ponse to Commissioner Kruse's question regarding whether the
owner has contacted the Planning Department, Ms. Layne stated Mr.
Bishop, a realtor representing the owner, had discussed this zoning
with the Planr!ng Department, and he had no problem with "RM-1B", 3nd
she added there is one owner for the whole parcel.
Ms. Layne indicated the property owner is G. G. Collier, JT
Venture, located in Chicago, Illinois.
A short discussion followed during which Chairman Pistor asked Ms.
McQuinn if Commissioner Wenzel's motion had carried woufd the Board
have to notify the owner. Ms. McQuinn stated she felt the Board should
consider those actions which have been advertised and not new action..

Chairman pistor said in order to take action on this pieco of property
today then the zoning would have to be left at "RM-1B".
Parcel "M" in Unit 2, City of Golden Gate - From "RM-2" to "RM-lB" -
Action deferrcd for 30 days with a moratorium placed on building
permits for the entire parccl for 30 days
Ms. Layne dcscribed this parcel ilS property in Golden Gilte City
running along Green Boulevard and a small portion running south with
portions of the propcrties to the eilst zoned "CI"; to the west and
south, "RS-3"; and to the north and west are the estates areas.
Commissioner Wenzel questioned why this area was not rezoned to "RM-l",
6 units ?er acre instcad of the recommended "RM-lB", l2 units per acre,
as this would compnrc to the current duplex and single family resi-
dcnces "across the way". He stated for the record that he recommended
that this parcel "go back to 6 units per acre".
Chairman pistor noted Dr. Neno Spagna, a representative for this
area, is registered to speak regarding parcel "M".
Community Dcvelopment Director Terry Virta explained that the
proposal to zone this parcel to "RM-1B" took into consideration the lot
size that cxists in the area and the factor that the single family
areas arc separated by the canal that runs east and west along the
northern edge of what is known as Golden Gate City.
Dr. Neno Spagnil, rcprescnting Avatar 1I0ldings, Inc., which is a
recently rcorganized firm of GAC, read into the record his letter dated
February 3, 1981 regarding petition R-BO-37.C, parcel "M" zoning. He
explained that Avatar has engaged the services of a development design
research firm which is in the process of preparing a master plan for
the u~e of Avatar's property in parcel "M", and it appears that Avatar
.
will complcte said master plan in abo~t thirty (30) days. He said it

is Avatar's desire to work very closely with County officials to
prepare a master plan which meets all local requirements, apd that the
.
company feels that the rezoning at this time might be premature and
require a subsequent rezoning in the near future.
He located the proper~y on a map on an overhead board as running
from Green Ooulevard, the old landing strip which is a 100' right-of-
wPy, south tc the canal, which was shown in blue sha~ing on the map.
He explained that Avatar, Inc. is no longer in the business of selling
land but is in the process of development of these lands. He said-
.
there is a moratorium on the sale of all lots still owned by the
company in Golden Gate, the Estates and their Arizona lands as well as
Cape Coral. He said at the end of the 30 days either Avatar, Inc. wiil
return to the staff to discuss the development of these lands or at
that time the Board can go ahead and act on this proposed zoning
designation. Dr. Spagna said Avatar Holdings, Inc. has authorized him
by his appearange, or written agreement, to state that they will not
come in for any building plans of any type during this 30 days peri~d.
Mr. Virta asked Dr. Spagna if the areas in green on his map are
the lands which Avatar Holdings, Inc. controls to which Dr. Spagna
answered affirmatively, and he noted this a~ount is approximatel: 60
acres of land, or a little over lIalf of the parcel "M". In response to
Mr. Virta, Dr. Spagna said that Avatar Holdings, Inc. agrees that the
"HM-2" zoning just is not going to "work at all out there". 1I0wever,
he said the company docs not know if "RM-1B" is appropriate or whether
. .
the company is "putting the County on notice" that t~ey may have to
come back at a later date. He added ^vatar Holdings, Inc. has beon
working with the County and wants to continue to work with them on s~ch

things as the streets and drainage, etc.. to develop a good community,
and get away from the old "lot sales image". Mr. virta said the
proposed zonin~ for this parcel of land gen~:ated the greatest amount
of interest from the surrounding residents because people were upset
that this rezoning, if passed, would allow three story apartments to be
constructed, since they were under the impression there would be
nothing higher than onc story on this land. In response to Commis-
sioner Wenzel, Mr. Virta said m ny residents contacted his office when
this proposal was initially being considered and expressed their
concern.
CAPe Chairman william Mc~rath suggested that the Board treat
Avatar Holdings, Inc.'s portion of parcel "M~ in the rn~nner as the
other owncrs of land in parccl"M" as it would be unfair to do other-
wise, since there is no commitmcnt from the other owners that they are
not going to sell their property. He suggasted that if Avatar comes
forward wit~ a devclopmrnt, this property can be rezonod to a "PUO" a.

Mr. Robcrt J. Crystal, broker at Golden Gate Realty, explained to
the Commj~sioners that in the property outside the green area, on the
map displayed by Dr. spagna, there are approximately eight (8) to ten

Pistor qucstioncd what would happen if a lot is sold during this period
while parcel "M" is zoned "Rfol-2" and the general consensus (wal: this 30
;
day delay would be "common knowledge and it would be published" that
the Board is going through rezoning proceedings. Upon call for the
question, the motion carried 3/2 with Commissioners pistor and Wenzel
o'pposed. Commissioner ~1imcr said to Dr. Spagna that he would like to
make it very clear that he would rather see parcel "~" develop~d in
single family residences.
Parcel "N" in Bonita Shores Subdivison - From "RM-2" to "RM-IB"
Planner Layne described this parcel which, was discussed jointly
with parcel "B" earlier in the session, and explained the zoning to the
east, west and south is "R!'\-lA" and to the nvrt" is nIlS-4". She
identified this property as that which Mr. Carroll and Mr. Grunnagle
discussed with the recommendation to "RM-1B".
Parcel "0" in Sec. 16. T49S, R25E - From "RM-2" to "RM-lB"
Planner Layne indicated th~s parcel on the map on the overhead
board and explained it is known as Naples ~ay area. She said the
zoning to the east is "RS-3"; to the south is "PUD", with the Park
Shore Unit 5 zoning; and she said the par~el includes the Naples Cay
site, a church sit~, the Seagate Beach ,lub site, and the Seahouse
Condomiloium site, with the recommendation for zoning to "RM-1B". In
response to Commissioner Wimer, Ms. Layne said there are four different
parcels with nine different owners. Chairman Pistor noted that
Scahouse does exist and has 6 stories and Ms. Layne said that "RM-1B"
.
docs allow provisional use ..p to 6 stories, so the density would be
conforming.

corporation, who are the owners of the development rights for tho major
portion of parcel "0., stated he appeared before the Board regarding
beach access ordinance question re this property. He identified the
property as the logical extension of the Park Shore development along
the Gulf of Mexico, and thcre is a pass immediately north of this area
so the lands beyond that point would not be Bccessible, he said. Mr.
Helgemo explained on the north the property is bounded by the water of
Pelican Bay and on the other side of the water is the Pelican Bay
Development which will be developed into high-rise, high density
condominiums. lie said if any property surrounds the !-:aples Cay site,
it is the Seagate SubJivisio~. which is zoned for multi-family
designation.
Mr. Helgemo said his clients bought the property a number of years
ago after the propert! had been zoned for a number of years for its
present density, in reliance upon the existing zoning, which he said is
an essential fact. 11 short discussion followed during which Chairman
pistor asked if the present owners actually purchased the property in
question. Mr. Ilelgemo stated his clients "have a long term lease with
an option" and have the rights to develop the property consistent with
the present zoning and to subsequently .cause the conveyance of
individual ap~rtments to purchasers of apartmcnts within the buildings
developed". He contended his clients are the owners of development
rights and that the sale of the property was set up in this fashion for
tax considerations. lIe stated Naples Cay Development Corporation has
been dealing with the County for two years and by the County's action
of issuing and rejecting permits has recognized the fact that Naples
Cay Development Corporation is tho ,owner of the development rights.

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC "E~RING RE PETITION R-80-32C
i
Parcel "0" in SlC" T49S, R25E (Continued)
Mr. James ~loore, although registered to speak, was not present
when the Session reconvened following the recess.
Mr. Tom Gross, resident of the ~eagate area, voiced his approval
of the proposed reduction in density, among his reasons being the
additional traffic which would be generated by a higher density and,
also his feeling that additional .concrete and glass" is undesirable.
Mr. Bill Spencer; President of the Seagate Beach Club, expressed
SUIJiJO[ t [or till' pro:'u""d ('::Luning because of the fact that tho
construction of 22-story highrise buildings will have an adverse effect
on solar devices being used in the area, as well as the shading of his
particular area in the afternoon. Responding to Chairman Pistor, Mr.
Spencer said thcre would be no oppositi~n to three-story buildings.
Mr. Glen Thornton, representing the carpenters in the area,
recommended that the property remain as presently zoned, stating that
95% of the work done by the carpenters is on highrise buildings.
Mr. John Kesch1, representative of the building trades, concurred
with the previous speaker and, regarding the lack of wor:' on lowrise
buildings, Mr. Kcschl said that this is partially due to the fact that
they cannot compete with the "fly-by-night" operators who come into the
area and deal on a cash basis, working out of th~ back of their cars.
lie said there arc two options open to the Commission - let the
development go ahead or let the developers proceed with a legal battle.
Commissioner Kruse observed that the parcel under discussion is

the 12th such parccl to come before the Board - the fifth one where the
landowner has raised an objcction. She cited the disposition of the
previous matters, among the decisions being ~ compromise and/or a
. "
postponcment and questioned whether or ndt a compromise could not be
one of the options on the subject parcel; or, if not, whcther there is
a zoning category mid-way between the two zoning districts in question.
M~. Virta responded by stating that the only zoning district that could
arrive at a figure betwecn 12 a~1 30 units in density is a PUD of some
so'rt.
Attorney Helgemo said that he has been authorized by his client to
advise the Commission, by way of a compromise, that the developer would
be satisfied if he were to be permitted ~onstruction of 475 unics,
approximately one-half of the units which the present zoning allows.
He commented that suen offer is in the way of a compromise - and not to
prejudice vested rights in the evcnt the compromise is not accepted.
In ans~~r to Commiosioner Wimer, Mr. virta said that, in round
figures, approximately fiOO units could be built under present zoning,
adding that the 900 figure mentioned is the theoretic maximum which
could not be reached.
In rebuttal to commen~~ made by previous speakers, Attorney
Helgemo F"id that,'regardless of the number of units to be built, there
will be an increase in the traffic on 5cagate Road and that his client
is intercsted in working out an arrangement with the County which will
protect the concerns of the Seagate Subdivision with regard to the
access problem. lIdditional mattcrs addressed by tho speaker covered
such issues as access from the Pclican Bay development can be qained
across water, which would be ~xpensiva, suggesting that it may be

density to be permitted under the proposop new zoning classifications
for multi-family will be 16 units. Continuing, Mr. VirtD(said that
there are a number of varying density aspects in that draft, however,
there is an existing zoning ordinance for the Coastal Area of the
County upon which the rezoning proposals this date are being presented
for consideration and which are based upo~ the criteria in that
ordinance. Also, said Mr. Virta, there is an ongoi~g review ~t this
point of an ordinance to replace the existing one. Once the new
ordinance is adopted, said Mr. virta, all of the lands will have to be
rezoned. For the present, Mr. virta said that the "RM-2" properties
are being reviewed pursuant to direction of the Board.
lIttorney Helgemo commented that, in hi~ o~inion, the law with
regard to vested rights would apply to the property in question and
that the zoning should not be changed. County Attorney pickworth
addressed this issue and said that perhaps there are some elements
which have not been diGcussed \n this regard - one being the good faith
of the developer. He said vested rights 's a conclusion pursuant to
shifting through a lot of facts and that he is not sure what the
ultimate decision in the particular case would be. He said further,.a~
had heen suggeGted by the developer's o.ttorney, that the discussion
should turn away from the legalistic point of view and be approached
from the basic planning theory as to what is best for everyone which,
he said, is not a legal decision.
When asked to comment on the issue, Commissioner Kruse voiced
.
concern over the rezoning )f certain parcelS with a new zoning
ordinance in tho works which would drop all density from 30 units down
to 16 units all at once.
~._---_.,"-,.
February 10, 1981
r
It was the sug~estion of the Chairman that if the Board does not
want to take action on the matter that they proceed to the ncxt parcel.
Mr. Jones stated hi~ belief that it takes a 4/5 vote to "down-zone" and
requested a vote on the issue. It was pointed out by the Chairman that
a decision was made that one votc would be taken unless there is a
change from the staff recommendation to be considered which, in this
case, said Chairman Pistor, is, apparently, not the desire of the
Board. Mr. JonC5 asked that the record reflect that a vote on thc
matter was refu~cd. Commissioncr Wimer clarified the issuc by stating
that a motion to amend the proposed ordinancc would be in order since
pro...islons hflvp. been made for such amendment, commenting that any
Commissioner wishing to make a motion co amend the ordinance on the
particular subject should feel free to do so.
To continue with the subject at hand, Attorney Helgemo inquired ir
the suggestion of Commissioner Kruse for 16 units per acre would be
acceptable as an amendment. The Commissioner said that tha.t was not
her specific suggestion; however, she said she would put it in the form
of a motion so that there can be a vOte although she said there is no
way it can be done according to the zoning classifications. She said
her questlon was whether or no~ there was a zoning classification that
would be a compromise between the zoning currently held and the staff
recommendation. She said that she was informed that there is no
classification between the two - the only alternative being a PUD which
has not been requested. She recalled that a compromise was agrced upon
with regard to the first parcel involved and on another parcel there
was a vote to withhold action until a Mastcr Plan was submitted. She
said that if therc was a suggestion similar to those which has not been

covered as yet, she would make a motion to put it on the floor,
reiterating that there is no specific zoning classificatio~to be voted
i
on which would change the density to 16 units.
lIttorney lIclgcmo inquired if tho compromisc proposed earlier in
the Session could be considcred the same as a pu~ with Mr. Virta noting
that, with regard to that particular parcel, it is not known whether it
will be a PUD - it may be. The parcel will either be zoned wR..-IB" or
there will be a Master Plan submitted showing the appropriate usage
within the next thirty days. The Attorney asked for a few minutes in
order to consult with his client.
In the interim, Commissioner Wimpr explained the reasoning behind
his n,otion earlier in the Session with regaro t.. Parcel B in Bonita
Shores, statin'l that, in his opinion, "RM-1B" was more compatible with
the area th~n the recommended zoning of "RM-l" due to the location of a
fire station and, also, a community center on the particular square.
Attorney llcl'lcmo returned ':0 the meeting and stated that it is his
understanding that the County has on file
plan for five buildings
containin'l 600 units which has been in their possession for a period of
time. lle offered to amend that Master Pl:,n down to 475 units "nd to
submit a plan within 30 days causing th.t reduction. Mr. Virta said
that one does not answer the zoning, noting that there is " set of
plans from Naples Cay; however thcre are two site plans included.
Mr. Al McElwain, Naples Cay developer, reminded the Board that
there is also a beach access contract offer with includes" detailed
site plan. lIfl said 16 unit," to the acre would tot"l 480 'units counting
wetlands calculations which he said is amenable to him.
Regarding the new heights being" proposed, Mr. McElwain said that as the
. '.
. .
. .
. ..
" I
.

f
new' laws come in it. is totally appropriate that those laws bo.
implemented. Attorney Helgemo suggested that the developp.rs of Naples
Cay have gone furth.~r thaI) the previously-mentioned developer in light
of the fact that there are two plans on file - the one to be used being
the plan showing the five buildings - which would be amended to 475
units. CommiGsioner Wimer pointed out that when the presentation was
made by Dr. Spagna, with regard to tha other parcel being discussed, it
was clr,'lr in his mind (Comminsioner Wimer) that instead of "RM-1B"
zonirJ, he was hopeful that the Master Plan would be for single-family
which was the reason that he went along with the deferral.
County M~n~gcr Norman pointed out that a Master Plan includes ~ore
than just an o~=line of the property and the buildings proposed - that
there are other issues which have to be dealt with in terms of how it
would be developed. He referred to the various obstacles which were
involved in thc plan for group housing which was submitted and he said
must be presumed will also be included in any future master plan; i.e.
beach access, and the like.
Commissioncr Brolm inquired of Commissioner Kruse if, in her
opinion, it was equitable to draw a parallel between Dr. Spagna's
particular project and that of. Naples Cay with Commissioner Kruse
suggesting that there appears to be two different "things" being
discuGsed. She asked Dr. Spagna to respond as to whether or not all of
the various items will be addressed in the Ma~ter plan to be .ubmitted.
Dr. Spagna stated that the reason his client asked for the continuance
is because it is not known at this point what the developnent will
consist of and they do not want to be looking at a new .et of zoning
regulations and thcn come back requesting a different approach. He

s~id that he is aware of the feelings of' the Board and that he will
relay those fcelings to Avatar to be considered in their pl~ns. He
i
added that he is aware of Commissioner Wimer's expressed feelings which
he will also convey, commcnting that if the plans are not submitted or
ncgotiations started with the staff within 30 days, as far as he,
personally, is concerned the property can be rezoned to "RM-1B".
Attorncy IIcl'Jemo said that their particular case is diffe ent with
a different set of circu<1\stances involved. He pointed out that as each
casc came up before the Board which was controversial it was dealt with
as the case d~mandcd. He added that in his case the developer is
making a sLrong case for vested rights and that if the zoning is
changed they \~lll be compelled to assert their; ights in CO'lrt and, if
they prevail, they will be entitled to the full count of units. He
reiterated 8'Jaln the proposal for a compromise made earlier.
Mr. McElwain concluded the presentation by requesting a motion to
the effect that the Naples Cay property be removed from consideration
for rezoning and offering his pledge to wo-:-k out the beach access and
traffic plan recommendations of staff.
Parcel nQ" in Section 15, Township ~8 Sou"h, Range 25 East
Planner L~e L::l~'ne located the 5ubj( ~t property as lying at the
southea~t corner of Wiggins Pass Road and vanderbilt Drive and said
that the recommendation is to rezone the parcel from "RM-2- and
"RM-2ST" to "RM-lO" and "RM-lBST", and detailed the zoning categories
on the adjacent properties.
Mr. David Jones, co-o~ er of the subject property, prefaced his
comments by requesting th/lt Parcel "Un in Soction l6, Township 48
South, Range ?5 East also be included in the discussion, describing the
. .
.,
- ---_.._._--~-----".--,.."
. .

.
property as two small islands north of Vanderbilt Drive which protrude
into the bay. There were no objections forthcoming. Mr. Jones
provided the Board ,lith information concerning the number of acres
, ,
involved in the original purchase, the acreage which was donated to the
Collier County Conservancy because of the mangroves located thereon,
the acres of developable land consisting of approximately 80 to 90 out
of the original total of 200 acres, an~ said that there are probably 40
acres f "ST" land still in the name of the owners because of the pos-
sibl~ transfer of development rights.
Continuing, Mr. Joncs Gaid that the problem with down-zoning the
prO!.2rty to "RM-lB" and "RM-lBST", noting that the "ST" is compatible
with the owners, is that whcn the interim zoning (RM-IB) was adopted,
the TOR was outlawed, as well as the water rights. He said that there
are only 49 acres of "RM-2" zoning with the rest being "RM-l" and
further stated that the developers would like to keep the "RM-2" zoning
intact for future convcrsion to the new "PM-l6" which they wo~ld be
agreeable to. Mr. Jones said that approximately two years ago a
.
contract was entered into with the Griffin family, who own property to
the west which is zoned "RT", for the purchase of the subject property.
He said that the purchaser is in the process of making arrangements to
close on the transaction and working to develop a plan for the tract.
He requested that the zoning on the property be postponed in order to
give the purchaser time to come up with a feasible plan.
Mr. Glen Griffin, prospective purchaser of tho subject land, said
that there are negotiations ongoing with a local land-planning firm to
prepare a site plan for the parcel. He said that in light of the fact
that across the street from th~ property there are three individual

th~.height limitation to'six
floors will put them in the "shadows". He ~dded that they are more
.
than willing to live with the proposed new zoning classification of
"RM-SlC," and reiterated the request for a 60-day time period in order
to tender a final site plan to the County's satisfaction.
Commissioner Brown moved to grant the request. Thc motion failed
for lack of a second.
A discussion followed regarding the transfer of dcvelopment
rights, with Zoning Director Perry explaining how the developer could
transfer development rights to the upland area. However, said Mr.
Perry, the TDR's from the two (;Ilbject islands would have to be
transferred somewhere else because the "RM-1B" district will not accept
them. In answer to Commissioner Wimer's query, Mr. Perry said that in
the futur~ al~ multi-family districts wi!l be eligible to rcccive
TOR's. For clarification purposes, Commissioner Wimer explained that,
if the new ordinance passes, which is unknown at the present time, the
developer can take advantage of the "ST" pcovisior.s, the same as at the
present time, as well as to take the TDR's from tho island to the
"RM-lO" area. Co~missioner Wenzel recalled that there were complaints
in the past due to the fact that on Marco Island TDR's were allowed
from iSlands which werc not adjaccnt; however, where the lands are
contiguous, the Commissioner said thera should be no complaints.
Mr. Griffin said that if he understands correctly what has been
said about "ST" and the ability to transfer, he is satisfied if that is
the ultimate interpretation. However, ho questioned why the property
is being down-zoned at this time, from a possible 30 units to 12 units,
.
when there is imminent rezoning in ~pproximatcly 6 weeks.
.
.
February 10, 1981
,
Commissioner Kruse inquired if the Board is putting any of the
properties in "double j~opardy" in that the properties could possibly
be down-zoned even further. The response from staff was that there is
always that potential and that it must be kept in mind that some
properties arc holding at the same density or increasing in density
and, therefore, through the range, it is not shrinking all the way but
rather a shrinking of the cap.
Mr. Griffin renewed his renuest to have the matter deferred until
a ~oncept or site plan for the property can be presented, noting that
deferrals have been granted to others in the past.
Commissioner Brown moved to grant the request. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Parcels "R" and "S" in Section 17, Township 48 South, Range 25 East
It was suggested by Planner Lee Layne that, since Parcels "R" and
"SO arc both owncd by the same persons and located in the same area,
they be discussed together. There were no objections forthcoming.
Ms. Layne dcscribed the zoning on the properties in question which
she said are located in the Wiggins Pass Landings area, pointing out
the physical location 011 the map displayed.
Altorney \~illiam Stewart, representing the A. L. Dougherty Co.,
Inc., explained why there has been no opportunity to study the rezoning
matters, and added that the County and Mr. Dougherty have been in
litigation over the subject areas, with density included in the suit.
Mr. Stewart said that the County Attorney and the special counsel
employed by the County have been gracious in permitting them to
continue the trial of the case in order to come up with an overall plan
for the development of all of the Do~gherty properties. He said that

nrown moved that the request be granted fot sixty
days. The motion died for lack of a second.
Assistant County Attorney pires advised that he, personally, has
not been involved in the subject litigation and was not prepared to
.,
,
comment, suggesting that the topic be deferred until later in the
session when, perhaps, Attorney Pickworth would be available for
comment. It was the consensuS of the Board that the suggestion was
appropria te.
Later in the scssioni Attorney pires said that he conferred with
Attorney pickworth ~,no s.)id that, without having an opportunity to go
through the file in depth regarding the pending litigation, he was of
the opinion that it should not have any bearing on the rezoning matter
since the litigation concerns "ST" primarily.
Parcel "T" in Naples Improvement Company's Little Farms Subdivision
v
Planner Lee '.ayne described the parcel involved as being land
fronting both sides of the entrance to the Royal poinciana Golf Club,
off of Goodlette Road, and it is the staff recommendation that the
"RM-2" zoned l'nd along the entrance to the Golf Club be rezoned to
"~I-lB" to appropriately reflect the surrounding existin. land use.
During the Planning Commission's hearings, said Ms. Layne, there were
representatives from the Club in attendance and that there werG no
objcctions to the proposed rezoning.
,
?rrcel "V" in Section l7, Township 40 South, Range 25 East
Planncr Lce Layne described the property as being Blocks 19 and 17
in Higgins Pass Landing Unit 4. She said that it is the staff

r
.
rccommendation that thc tract be rezoned to "RS-3ST" based upon the
compatibility with the ~urrounding zoning, which is so zoned, ond the
insufficient acreage size for hi~h residential multi-family use.
Responding to Chairman Pistor, Ms. Layne said there were no
,
objections to the rezoning from the property owners.
Parcel "K" in Section fl, Township 5? South, Range 25 East, Continued
It was noted by the Chairman that Parcel "K" was deferred from
earlier in the Session to be taken up at this point.
Mr. Fred Morrison, representing the owners of the previous1y-
described property on Isles of Capri, informed the Board that he has
attended all of thc C~PC and Planning Aoard workshops and recalled that
there was discussion about taking all of the high density zoning to the
coastal areas. He suggcsted that the subject property is on the coast,
pointing out that the single-family dwelling across the street from the
parcel was in existence when the current zoning was put on and that
there were no objections voiced. lie agreed that "RI'!-2" zoning is un-
reasonable, commenting that l6 or 20 units is not; however the 12 units
-.
units permitted under "P,M-lB" is unreasonable. Mr. Morrison questioned
why such "capricious" action was being taken at this time knowing that
further rezoning is contemplated. He asked that the petition either be
continued or dropped.
.
Chairman pistor disagreed that the land is really on the coast and
commcnted on the traffic conditions surrounding the Isles of Capri, the
water supply and sewage disposal problems, all of which do not lend
themselves to high-density zoning. Mr. Morrison responded by noting
the sewage disposal plant proposed which will serve more than just the
particular property and, with regard'to the number of units to be

built, said that this figure is unknown'at prescnt but that a viable
plan will be prcsented. Mr. Morrison emphasized that the jroperty is
coastal property sincc the inner-coastal \~aterway is directiy in front
of the parcel. Mr. Morrison voiced his objections to the statement
made previously with rcgard to step-down zoning, and suggested that
r
what is being cor.templated is "spot-zoning" in reverse.
^ttorney John f.merson, also rep7esenting the owners, asked that
the record reflect his objection to proceeding with the hearing due to
the lack of notice. lie said that he requested the staff, and they
agreed, to notify him and that there is no question that this was not
dnne. Therefore, said the Attorney, they are not prepared and would
appreciate deferral of the matter until a later time which he suggested
would be the fair thing to do. lie, too, questioned why the property is
subject to rezoning twice in a short period of time; however, he said
that they would be bound by the requirements of the proposed change
from the present "RM-2" zoning to whate~er change is made such as the
contemplated "RM-16" district. Concluding, Attorney Emerson said that
everything that was in the original report of the staff to the CAPe,
the objections rnd the objectives that the staff is trying to achieve
in terms of a "eduction in density, can be achieved by the proposed
change in the overall zoning ordinance.
Commissioner Brown moved that action with regard to Parcel "K- be
delayed for 120 days. The motion died for lack of a second.
There followed a brief discussion with regard to the proposed new
zoning ordinance during which Ms. Layne informed the Board that durin9
the CAPC hear ings the staff repeatedly pointed out that the proposed
new zoning ordinance was not being discussed - that the existing zonin9

regulations are the regulations wh~ch must be considered~urin9 the
hearings.
All proponents and oppone~ts of the zoning changes having been

heard, Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and.
unanimously carried, that the public hearing be closed on all items
with the exception of No.7 (Parcel "M") which is to be continued for
30 days.
Commissioncr Wcnzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer, that
the ordinance, as numbered and entitled below, as amended, be adopted
and entered into Ordinance Book No. l2. The motion carried 4/1
following roll call vote with Commissioncr Kruse voting in opposition.
Commissi.ner Kruse askcd that the rccord rcflect that her vote of
opposition was based on the fact that it is her belief that isolating
22 parcels of land and considering them s~par~tely is contrary to good
comprehensivc land-usc planning.
Commissioner Wenzcl commented, as noted throughout the hearing on
the petition, that, in his opinion, some uf .the zoning chilnges were
still too liberal, notably Items Nos. 2, 6, B, ld, l!, 13, and 14,
however, said the Commissioner, he voted for them since "half a loaf is
better than none".
Commissioner ~imer, referring to comments made during the public
hearing, recalled that accusations werc madc to toe effect that he and
Commissioncr \'!cnzel were conspiring to act contrary to law and
requested that a certified, verbatim transcript of that statcment be
preparcd as soon as possible.

presently addressing is a great improvement over the document reviewed
.
at the public hearing a week ago. Ms. Westman said that tho position
of the League is still to protect and preserve wetlands and, in
protection, it means to take great care in the development of any areas
that are contiguous to or in the area of a lot of wetlands. But, said
Ms. Westman, development can go forward if the wisest means and best
scientific information, and the like, are put to work. The one problem
with the subject site is the fact that it is an island surrounded by
water and wetlands.
Continuing \~ith her statement, Ms. Westman said that the subject
ame~dment now brings the 320 acres in question back into Unit 30 so
that it will be considered as a comple~e entity rather than separate
parts which, she said, is a "good thing". Ms. Westman asked for
clarification of the Transfer of Development Rights provisions in the
new Comprehensive Plan which has not as yet been put into effect with
Community Development Ad~inistrator Virta advising that what is being
discussed is a specific PUD which is different than the zoning itself.
Ms. Westman inquired as to what the density might be from the "ST"
trade-offs possible to the PDD with Mr. Virta stating that there cannot
be any without a revision to the PUD - it is locked in. Ms. Westman
touched briefly on other aspccts of the development such as the fact
that it is presumed development will be a continuing process over a
period of time and with consideration of the environmcntal effects on
the arca immediately surrounding it, the feeling of many peoplo that no
further dredging and filling of mangroves should be approved, that Unit
30 is one unit ilnd will in the future be perceived as one. She
concluded her comments by proposing th~t, as a consequence of the

clause thut now exists with regard to disturbcd land bein~ allowed to

proceed for development without required EIS statements.
When asked by the Chairmun if there is any objection at the
present time to the development, as planned, with the amendment to the
PUD being proposed, Ms. Westman said that there are still reservations
but that the best possible solution, under the circumstances, has
evolved.
Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
unanimously carried, that Ordinance No. 81-6, as entitled below, be
adopted, as amended, subject to the stipulations to be included in the
PUD Docum~nt concerning traffic agreements and raw water transmission
lines; and that the petitioner's ^greemcnt to the stipulations be

Commissioner Wenzel commented that he voted for the Ordinance
because he received the interpretation that thc maximum density for the
320 acres will be 1980 units.

Commissioner Kruse inquired if the firm is considering the
donation of any of the land still being held for conservation purposes.
Mr. James i\ptho rp, r epresen t1 ng The Del tona Corporation, respondeJ in
the affirm~tive, stating that the firm has transferred development
rights off of several hundred acres, under County ordinance, at Marco
Island for which the County has title. Hp added that they are in the
process of working with DER on a resolu~ion of the overall problem
which w.'uld involve public ownership of a good deal of the wetlands,in
the Deltona ownership which amounts to 12,000 or l3,000 acres of land

REPORT AND RECOMME~DATION IN RESPONSE TO 1/~/Bl NOTIFIC~TION OF
AMERICAN AM8ULANCE, INC. CONTRACT VIOLATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS -
CONTRACT TEnTH NATED ~JITI1 COUNTY TO ASSUME OPERATION 4/6/81; REPORT ON
PETAILS OF TllllNSITION TO BE MADE 2/24/81; STM"F AUTHORIZED TO TAKE ANY
ACTIONS NECESSARY TO INSURE OPERATIONS DURI~G INTERIM PERIOD IF SERVICE
FURTHER DETERIORATES
County Manuger Norman rccalled that during a Board meeting around
the middle of January, the County Manager was instructed to review the
issues involved in the recommendation that American Ambulance be
not(fie~ of the County's intention to tcrminatc their contract
specifying a series of alleged default. Such meeting was held January
27, 1981, continued Mr. Norman, and a lengthy report and Executive
Summary was provided as an outgrowth of such meeting. In essence, said
Hr. Normon, it ",';'lS found thi'lt, n"" to apparent improvements which had
taken place with regard to equipment, commitments made at the meeting
to rectify Some serious communications problems pertaining to some
specific items such as inventory, and the like, which needed to be
resolved, he was prepured to recommend that the matter be withdrawn
from the agenda t.h i s da te. However, as has been the exper ience in the
past, said Mr. Norman, the situation seems to change almost hourly; for
instance, in a week's time, another vehiclc engine has b16wn, the
Operations Manager [or American Ambulancc was arrested for a rather
serious matter und his ability to continue to provide direction on a
day-to-day basis is in jeopardy, and he has learned that Mr. ~aguire is
not able to function on a regular basis. He said that he has received'
a letter to the effect Ms. Kathy Maguire will be the official spokesman
for the firm, commenting that the staff has been able to talk and work
well with her to date.

. , . February 10, 1981
The most serious matter in terms of actual facts, continued Mr.
Norman, is that during the past week an official from the (RRS _ EMS
,
Program came to the County to re-examine the equipment, based on the
less-than-satisfactory examination which took place during December of
1980 and, also, to follow up on the recommendation forwarded to
Tallahassee by the local EMS Council to the effect that, as of January
lG, 1981, there were inadequate ALS/BLS units meeting the State and,
thus, the County requirements to warrant certification. The follow-up
meeting on the subject inspection was "pretty discouraging", said Mr.
Norman, noting that there were matters that pre-date the inspections
that had indicDted the pquipment w~~ ~~tl~f~ctory. Most Qf the
inspections pertained to equipment which was not mechanical, such as
suction equipment, oxygen equipment, and the like, and, said Mr.
Norman, it nppe~r5 that a number of these areas h?ve been deficient for
a period of time.
As a result of these fact~, Mr. Norman continued, he was not
prepared for a recommendation this date b~~ause i~ is a major effort to
establish exactly where "things" stand at this point in time. He said
that he has received Some commitments that the issues would be dealt'
with and added that some very heavy inv~stigation has been ongoing to
determLoe why in the period of 3-1/2 months ten engines have blown up
with no logical explanation. for that kind of a problem. Mr. Norman
said that the staff is looking at both sides of the problem; however,
he said that he was not as optimistic at this time as he formerly was.
It was his suggestion that Jction be deferred for a period of two weeks
with a clear warning to American Ambulance that strong progress,
without any regression, needs to b~ mad~ wi~hin. t\1e two-week period and
0., .
yebruary 10, 1981
f
.
that items which have been identified are to be taken care of.withi~
that period.
Commissioner Kruse inquired if the propr~ number of ambulances are
on the road at the present time with public Safety Administrator Hafner
reporting that, as a re5ult of the inspections, Mr. neynoltls (HRS) will
recommend that, of the 5 ALS units "on the road", only three are to be
licensed. The lmlnokalee unit WllS turned down as far as getting 8
license, said fIr. Ilafner, for it'ms previously mentioned by Mr. Norman.
It'was found that the telemetry equip~ent was inoperative, continued
Mr. lIa fner, obse rv i ng tha tit was found out dur i ng the past two weeks
that thA telemetry has never .eally been operative in Immokalee because
it cannot reach Naples Community Ilospita;.. As a result of this, Mr.
Hafner said that he has taken action to have an engineering study done
in order to d~termine whether a satellite repeater should be used or
put in a fixed repeater. He said that the unit with the blown engine
has telemetry and noted ~h~t it is his understanding that an ~ttempt is
being made to establish a reason as to why this occurred. He mentioned
the fact that Mr. McKay from the Hillsborough County EMS has been down
to look over the condition of the equipment and said that the only way
a determination can be made is to tear the engine completely down and
studied \ 'lich 1I1aerican ^:nbulance has stated they are doing.
There was a further brief discussion with regard to the type of
vehicles involved with Mr. Hafner pointing out that the preponderance
of the vehicles are Fords. He said that there will be a written report
forthcoming from Mr. McKay, adding the comment that both Mr. Mc~ay and
the aforementioned Mr. Reynolds have both observed that it is unusual
to have so many engines blow'in such a short period of time.

February 10, 1981
Commissioner Wenzel moved that the' contract with American
^mbulance, Inc. be cancelled and that the County take ove~ the
operation of ambulance service. Commissioner Wimer inquired if such
action would be the proper legal step for the County to take. County
Attorney Pickworth explained that the contract contains language with
regard to what c~n be done to terminate the contract - notice, period
to cure, and the like. He said that it is his understanding that the
reason the matter is being discussed is because thirty days ago a
notice was sent. Mr. Norman said that it was more like six weeks ago;
however, he said ~hat, within the time period provided for in the
.,
contract, American Ambulance requested an extension to the thirty-day
period without bcinJ t?ccific as ~o what period of time the extension
was being requested. He recalled that he recommended an extension
until this date or until such date as the Board might determine based
on the situation.
Attorney Pickworth inquired as to why American Ambulance was not
represented - di~ they have reason to be present to defend themselves,
or any reason to expect a motion would be made to cancel the contract
this date. Mr. Norman responded by saying that he does not think the
firm had such ~xpectation; however, he said that he informed Ms.
Maguire the previous week that he could not still stand ~ehind the
recommendations in the report which were that the threat of termination
be withdrawn. He said that he told her that he was going to recommend
a continuance of probably something like two wee~s
Attorney pickworth observed that, if his interpretation is
correct, the notice as provided,for in tho contract informing American
Ambulance of the Board's intent to possibly cancel tho contract has not
. "
February 10, 1901
,
.
.
been disposed of as yet. Mr. Norman responded 'that ~~ was disposed of
the previous week by virtue of the Board accepting it and putting a
date of today on it to continue it further if the Board so chose,
commenting that, in other words, there was no final concluding date by
the Board's action the previous week.
Commissioncr Wenzel noted that the Board has bent over backwards
for five ycars to cooperate with the ambulance company and voiced his
opposition to continue granting extensio~s. Attorney pickworth said
that he has been convinced for a long period of time that when the
merits of the allegations which have becn made against the firm are
totaled, the contract could be cancelled and that "now we are just down
to doing it preccaurally io the right way", He said that he wo~ld like
the opportunity to discuss the matter further with Mr. Norman and Mr.
lIafner in order to ge~ a better "handle" on the facts. Commissioner
Wimer suggested that the subject be deferred until later in the session
- or perhaps the following week. It was pointed out that the Board
would not be meeting on February l7th, whereupon the Chair called for a
recess for thc purposc of granting Attorney pickworth's request.
....RECESS: 4:35 P.M. until 4:42 P.M.....
Later in the Session, following completion of the remainder of the
agenda, Mr. Norman informed the Board that he, Attorneys pickworth and
Pires, and ~'r. lIafner, as well as Fiscal Officer Harold lIall for part
of the time, met and reviewed the matter of ambulance service,
including the conditions which have existed, and continue to exist,

cooperation, and the like.
He sa id tha t, it is' tlie consensus, on t'he
staff level, that not only have they not been able to
situation regarding the maintenance of the equipment,
improve the
.
but that problems
have deteriorated. He said that, if the Board agrees that the
situation is scrious enough to warrant termination action, it is
recommended that the following actions be taken:
l. Decision to tcrminate occur this date; assuming that
the opcration does not deteriorate further, .from the
standpoint of personnel available, equip~ent avail-
able, and efforts to get the equipment in shape
continue, that the transition be orderly.
2. Staff report back to the Board on February 24, 1981
with details on how the transition should take place.
Such rcport to include many factors, such as certifica-
tion, billing and collection systems, vehicle mainten-
ance sy~tcm~, personnel schedules ~r.d ral~ries, numbers
of personncl either pcrmanent or interim operating staff,
administrative staff necessary, as well as factors related
to the closing out of business issues involved - accounts
payable, accounts receivables, and the like.
Responding to Commissioner Wenzel's query regarding the County's
emergcncy plan being implemented, Mr. Norman said that a third re~om-
mendation is proposed, as follows:
3. If at any time during the period conditions develop
which do constitute an emergency, that the staff be
authorized to take whatever action is necessary to
not only cancel the lease and assume possession of
the equip~ent, but employ the necessary people and
do the necessary administrative steps to begin im-
mediate operation.
Continuing, Mr. Norman said that it is felt that April 6, 1981
would be ,1n appropriate date to begin the County operation and allow
for an orderly transition.
To answer Commissioner Wenzel's question, Mr. Hafne~ said that
proper steps are being taken to get the vehicles back into service, one
of which can be ready in less than a week~
.'
February 10, 1981
.
Concerning the legality, Attorney Pickworth said that it is
assumed there will be an "awful kick" about not giving the firm a
chance to come in t~is da~e and talk about it some more but, said
Attorney Pickworth, the contract states that they have 30 days to cure
and that, after that, the County shall have the immediate right to
cancel the Agreement without further notice to the contractor. In
point of fact, continued Attorney Pickworth, the firm either knew or
should have known that the matter was coming up this date - they
requested an extension, said extension request, in itself, was not in
accordance with the terms of the contract which directs them to file a
req~~st for an extension to a date certain, plus other requirements,
none of wllll...:il v.=re [ul10~',i(:d. He p.jinton out tha.t Mr. Norman suppli~n
the date of February 10, 1981 and they were informed of that. However,
he observed that the firm was not informed that the matter of termina-
tion was going to be addressed and, for that reason, there will be a
"squabble".
Mr. Norman pointed out that the report scheduled on the agenda was
discussed with Ms. Maguire and she was advised that he (Mr. Norman) was
withdrawing his recommendation that the termination notice be withdrawn
and that he was requesting the Board to provide for a continuance. To
that degree, Mr. Norman said that she had not been advised that he was
going to recommend that the contract be terminated. However, he said
that there was no question that the subject was going to be on the
agenda for discussion this date. Chairman pistor observed that it was
not Mr. Norman who made the recommendation, adding that Attorney
Pickworth informed the Board that it has the right to terminate the
.. .
contract.

The motion was :leconded by Ch~irman pistor.

Commissioner Brown indicated his intention to vote against the

giving him a chance to come here".
Mr. Norman condensed the subject recommendations, as follnws:
Based upon reports of staff regarding conditions, etc., and
the inability to maintain equipment or correct violations -
l. Tcrminate contract now, the County taking over

SL~ER AREA "A" EXPANSION PROGRAM - UTILITIES DIVISION AUTHORIZED TO
SPEND (FROM SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CH^RGES) UP TO $3,750 TO CONDUCT STUDY
REGARDING EXPANSION OF NORTn NAPLES SEWER FACILITY
Utilities Director Irving Berzon explained the reasons why he is
requesLing authorization for an expenditure of up to $3,750 for the
preparation of a feasibility study for the expansion of the wastewater
treatment and transmission facilities in the North Naples Area,
utilizing other than Federal Grant (U.S. EPA) funds, as detailed in the
Executive Summary dated January 30, 1981. Mr. Berzon commented on the
delays which have been encountered with regard to approval of the Step
II Grant application under the. "201" program, citing the reasons for
, February 10, 1981
,
the delays.' lie said that the need for elCpanding the facilities .in the
North Naples Area is becoming increasingly urgent and in all
probability carynot wait any further for Fed~Lal Grant assistance,
noting that delays can only result in increased costs and eventual
rejection of future conncctions to the system.
Commissioner Brown movcd, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
unanimously carried, that the Board authorize the expenditure of not
more than $3,750 for thc prepartion of a feasibility study for the
expansion of the wastewater trcatmcnt and transmission facilities in
the North Naples urea, such funds to be paid out of the sewer system
development charge revenues.
Commissioner Wimer stated that he still has concerns about the
expansion progri1m nncl the cost which, he said, is getting .out of
sight".
Commissioner Kruse inquired if there is any possible way to
formally pruccst the unJ11rness of holding up funding for one district
because of problems with another, rcferring to the problems cited by
Mr. Berzon pertaining to the City of Naples' problems with the DER and
the EPA in obtaining approval of the Step I plan modifications. Mr.
Berzon said that it does not seem right but said that the inherent
problem \ ~th the "201" Program is that whcn a "201" study is taken on
for a regional location like the western Collier County area, the
various areas do get ticd together, noting that Marco Island is in the
same situation. lie agreed that the subject area was taken into con-
sideration in the "201" study but the EPA and DER people do not have a

VARIOUS FACTS A~D FIGURES REGARDING AMERICAN AMBULANCE, WITH PROPOSED
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS, PRESENTED BY EGON HILL,
Mr. Egon Hill prefaced his comments by suggesting that, since
there has been a motion by the Board to cancel the contract with
American Ambulance, Inc., his presentation of facts and figures may not
be necessary. However, said Mr. Hill, there are questions he would
like a response to - i.e. why shouldn't the funds be collected which
have been identified by the auditors as covering items which the CPA
firm has said should absolutely not have been charged to the County?
Mr. Hill also questioned the cifference between the amount collected by
the ambulance firm, citing the figure of $198,375 identified by the
flllhcommittee of the EMS appointed for the purpose of investigating the
exact figures as the amount which should have been collected in a
six-month period, and the amount furnished by the firm of only
$108,000. ~lr. Hill said there should bf: a question raised as to what
happenec to the cifference of $90,000.
A further recommendation of the previously-mentioned subcommittee,
continued Mr. Hill, was for Fiscal Officer Harold Hall to take over
both the billing and collection functions with the costs for this being
deducted from the contract with American Ambulance. He added the
suggestion that, in his opinion, perhaps the County-owned ambulances
should be taken over by the County and a competent man hired to run the
service for the County.
Chairman Pistor expressed the Board's appreciation to Hr. Bill for
his report which Mr. Hill said would be given to the.EMS Council, as
well .

CHANGES IN MOTOR POOL POSITIONS FROM ONE FULL-TIME MOTOR POOL ATTENDANT
TO TWO PART-TIME POSITIONS - AUTHORIZED
purchasing Director Frank Wilcox explained that it has been
difficult to fill the position of Motor Pool Attendant with an employee
who is capable of performing clerical work as well as perform the
o
,
duties of an Attendant. Therefore, said Mr. Wilcox, it is being
requested that the position be changed from a full-time position to two
part-time positions, adding that there would be less money involved
than was originally budgeted.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
carried 4/0 with Commissioner Kruse temporarily absent at the time of
the vote, that the request be approved changing the full-time position
.
of Motor Pool Attendant to two part-time positions of Motor Pool
Attendant and Cler~ I.
Commissioner Wenzel inquired about the qualifica~ions required for
driving the County vehicles with Mr. Wilcox stating that the only
requirement is a driver's license.
.
The Commissioher expressed his
desire to have all appropriate drivers be required to take the
defensive driving course mentioned by Mr. Wilcox and become certified.

ROUTINE BILLS - AUTHORIZED FOR PAYMENT EXCLUDING AMERICAN AMBULANCE,
INC. PAYMENT (SEE ACTION TAKEN LATER IN SESSION)
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconrted by Commissioner Wimer and
carried unanimously, that the bills, having been processed following
established procedure wi th funds available, be approved for payment as
witnessed by the following checks issued from February 4, 1981 through
February 10, 1981:
1\CCOUNT
CHECK NOS.
County Checks
4766 - 5024
CET1\ Payroll
5614 - 5795
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall noted that, included in the bills for
payment, is a payment to ~~erican Ambulance, Inc. He said that such
payment is in accortJance wit.h the contract and also in accordance with
'.
the recomm~ndation made by the County Manager's office with regard to
the deductions in the amount of $6,600 for telemetry equipment and $500
on the insurance. Mr. Hall informed the Board that, to his knowledge,
American Ambulance was made aware of the subject payment and offered no
objection.
1-
,
Public Safety 1\dministrator Hafner explained that a telephone call
was made to the firm, followed up with a letter, inquiring as to how
the deductions should be made - by a check or checks from the firm, or
deducted from the contract payment. The firm's president, Mr. JDck
Maguire, said Mr. Hafner, told him to deduct it every month from the
contract payment. Therefore, continued Hr. Hall, in order not to take
too much from the working capital, it was decided that one-third of the
payment would be deducted every montq for three months.

It was Commissioner Wimer's suggestion that the payment to
American Ambulance, Inc. be excluded from the regular bills approved
for payment and that it be handled as a separate item later in the
Session. It was the consensus of the Board that the suggestion was
appropriate.
"
Commissioner Wenzel amended his motion to approve payment of the
bills presented excluding payment of the American Ambulance, Inc. bill.
Commissioner Wimer agreed to the amended motion in his seconding
thereof and the amended motion carried by unanimous vote.

PROPOSED BUDGET ~MENDMENT TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO PROVIDE FOR TELEPHONE
CALLS FROM THE IMMOK~LEE STOCKADE RE PUBLIC DEFENDER - DEFERRED PENDING
P.RESE~TATION OF ALTERNATIVES BY FISCAL OFFICER
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall explained that the Public Defender's
Office has found that the communications costs from the Stockade in
Immokalee to the subject office have risen considerably f~llowing the
transfer of the Stockade to the Sheriff's Department. He said that he
has been working with the Public Defender's Office and has traced the
,
matter for the last four months. It appears. ~e continued, that $1500
is needed in order to take them through the balance of the year.
It was suggested that a telephone line be put in with Mr. Hall
advising that there is an existing line but that there is a matter of
I
privacy involved and the volume is such that the Public Defender feels
that it is a justified increase in expenses. Mention was made of the
fact that the existing line is frequently busy and that, perhaps, a
second line would be sufficient.
Following additional brief discussion, Commissioner Wimer moved,
seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that the matter be "sent back to the
drawing board". It was the consensus of the Board that the subject be
tabled with Mr. Hall being requested to present possible alternatives
to the problem and, therefore, no action was taken on the motion.
CHAIRMAN AUTHORIZED TO SIGN GRANT APPLICATION FORMS TO FUND HOMEMARERS

AMERICAN AMBULANCE, INC. BILL IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,909.96 - APPROVED
FOR PAYMENT, PURSUANT TO RECOMMENDATION OF ST^FF
Fiscal Officer 'Harold Hall brought back to the Board a
recommendation that the American Ambulance, Inc. bill in the amount of
'.
$45,909.96 be approved for payment, action having been deferred earlier
in the Session. He explained that, following the subject payment, the
balance to be collected would total less than $5,000 on the two items
in question. Since payments are always a month behind, there will be
no problem in deducting the balance, said Mr. Hall. As much operating
capital as possible should be provided, particularly during the current
situation, in looking at the matter from the side of American
Ambulance, concluded Mr. Hall.
Commissioner Kruse moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
un~nimously carried, that the subject payment be made to American
Ambulance, Inc., pursuant to the staff recommendations.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS HE STAFF REPORT OF 1/12/8l ON PEAT, MARWICK,
MITCHELL AND COMPANY COMPLIANCE AUDIT OF PRIOR CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN
AMBULANCE, INC. - RECOMMENDATIONS DETAILED IN 2/3/8l EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
^PPROVED; STAFF DIRECTED TO OBTAIN PROPOSAL FOR ADDITIONAL AUDIT :
County Manager C. William Norman said that it is appropriate for
the Board to make some disposition of the Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and
Company Compliance Audit of the prior Contract with American Ambulance,
Inc. dated July 24, 1980. He recalled that two weeks previously the
Board received the staff recommendation to the effect that the County
receive immediate deduction of what was termed Category IV expenses,
amounting to approximately $7,700, and that the firm be given thirty
February 10, 1981
days to document justification for Category' III items. These have been
covered in the Executive Summary provided this date, said Mr. Norman.
Mr. Norman said that there are items in Category I which would be
"triggered" if they couldn't be inventoried, following which they would
fall into Category IV. He said that, without going into detail, a
staff position was reached at the January 27, 1981 meeting, commenting
that there was pleasure expressed at the effort Ms. Maguire was giving
in trying to develop documentation by going to vendors, and the like,
in this regard. He said that she has brought In some material which
has been reviewed by the Clerk's office and which accounts for
~pproKimately SSn,nnn of the $77.000+ fiqure. He said it is premature
to make a report but he wanted to acknowledge that it is a major effort
and that there is agreement to Ms. Maguire's request that she would
need more t:me to complete the documentation. Also recognized,
continued Mr. Norman, Is that it is ncccssary to consummate the old
..
contract prior to the deadline in the termination agreement under the
old contract which is March 3l, 1981, and an agreement was reached to
\
extend the deadline until March l5, 1981 for the Category III items.
The fact was accepted, Mr. Norman said, that if it could be shown that
the Category IV items were legitimate business expenses, these could be
added to Category III.
Continuing with his report, Mr. Norman said that, with regard to
Category IV, the County is hold.ing an amount which is more than
.
sufficient to cover that from the prior year's final payment. It was
agreed that these could be offset which would insure that the County
would be "whole" in terms of the initial amount at least and the
interest that might be involved could very well be offsetting between

what American Ambulance had earned during that period of time and what
the County had earned on the amount withheld. He said that the
recommendation that those funds be immediately withheld from payment is
:~
't
being withdrawn and it is recommended that the matter become part of
the final termination agreement and be offset by what the County is
holding.
Responding to Commissioner Wenzel's suggestion that perhaps the
EMS Council could provide input on a number of the issues under
discussion, Mr. Norman said that it really is up to the County
professionals to proceed at this point, in his opinion, noting that a
',.
"top-flight" accounting firm was engaged to review the expenses and
documentation and advise whether or not they were really legitimate
w
expenses. Mr. Hall concurred with Mr. Norman, adding the comment that
he did not wish to discredit the work of the Council. However, he said
that the staff is now at the place where they are looking for
"beady-eyed" professionals to point out the fine points to determine if
public funds have been properly expended or not, which, he added,
seriously involves the Board of County Commissioners. He said that it
is necessary to have the kind of documentation presentation that will
stand up in court and that the Clerk, County Manager, the County
Attorney, and he look at it from the viewpoint that they will be
defending the Board in court. To be specific, said Mr. Hall, referring
to the various categories mentioned by Mr. Norman, it was felt that the
Category II expenses were not reasonable business expenses but that the
legal expense to defend it would not be worthwhile.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and
unanimously carried, that the staff recommendation, the four items set

forth in the Executive Summary dated February 3, 1981, prepared by Mr.
Norman, with"respect to the aforementioned Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and
Company Compliance Audit of the prior contract with ~erican Ambulance,
Inc., be adopted.
Chairman pistor inquired as to whether or not the named auditing
\
firm could be of further assistance to the County with regard to the
matter at hand with Mr. Hall responding that the firm has completed
their task under the current engagement. However, said Mr. Hall, the
annual audit for American Ambulance, for the first year under the new
Agreement, is coming up, noting that the Board selects the aUditing
firm, and that it might be well for the Board to direct the staff to
obtain a proposal from a firm of the Board'i choosing for such purpose.
De Bugge3tcd that the 80ard may wish to consider the firm of Peat,
Marwick, Mitchell and Company, with Mr. Norman commenting that this
would be his Lecommendation also.
Chairman Plstor directed, without any objection forthcoming, that
.
the subject proposal be obtained as quickly as possible.
In conclusion, Mr. Hall added that the Termination Agreement will
be forthcoming which involves accounts receivable, and the like, and
which, it is expected, will te controversial.
