February 24, 1901
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
February 1, 19r1 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition BD-BO-15C, as
filed by Ed Hillstrom representing The Villas of Vanderbilt Beach,
requesting a boat dock extension to 67 feet at Lots 21 and 22, Block
"A" and Lot 20, Block "B" Vanderbilt Beach Estates located on
Vanderbilt Lagoon.
Community Dcvelop~cnt Administrator Terry Virta referred to the
Executive Summary dated 2/11/81 and read the contents thereof. He
pointed out the location of the proposed boat dock on a map, and noted
that there is an existing vertical seawall on the adjacent property.
Environmental Consultant Jay Iiannic read the Biological Assessment
,-
for The Villas of Vanderbilt Beach, DER File 110. 11-31848 5E into the
record, ex~laining that regardless of the outcome of the Board's
decision rcgarding the subject boat oock, the developer proposes to
construct a riprap scawall and an elevated tennis court/parking area
that will extend beyond the shoreline, therefore, the DER requires that
the report be read into the record and accepted by the Board.
Dr. Harmic statcd that, based on environmental considerations, he
is recommending approval of the subject petition, and that, regardless
of the board's decision oh the subject boat dock, he will continue to
recommend approval for the seawall and the tennis courts.
After a brief explanation in response to Commissioner Wimer
regarding the exact status of Dr. Harmic's employment with the County,
.' Pag. 3
February 24, 1981
including the fact that he is presently employed as the Environmental
Consultant to the County, and has agreed to remain so until such time
as a replacement has been hired by the County Manager, Dr. Harmic
stated that he has given consideration to the possibility of remaining
with the County on a part-time basis, however, this has not been
encouraged by his doctor. He said that he believes that the position
is one that requires a full-time consultant; however, if the County
Manager and the Co~munity Development Administrator both agree that
they wish to have him remain on as a part-time employee, he would
agree. Dr. Harmic concluded by stating that he still believes that the
position of Environmental Consultant should be considered as a full
time position.
Mr. Edw~~d Hillstro~ stAt~d thAt the proposed docks could be
retracted by 10 feet and still allow for sufficient water depth for
small boats. In answer to Commissioner Wenzel, he said that the
deve1o~er has not considered dredging for the docks, as the DER would
not approve. nor would they approve a vertical seawall. Mr. Hillstrom
addressed the concerns of the CAPC based on a "proliferation of boat
docks" in the general area of the proposed dock, and said that there
are not a lot of docks near this particular site.
After a brief discussion regarding the position of the bulkheads
relative to the subject project, the water de?th of the general area
and the proposed span of the docks the following persons spoke in
opposition to the subject petition:
1. Carl Gilzo, representing Vanderbilt Beach Property
Association.
2. George Keller, representing the Collier County Civic
Association Federation.

County Attorney Pickworth explained that the Board has specific
standards on which to base their decision outlined within the relevant
Ordinance; he referred to five points that must be considered, and
asked Mr. Virta if these had been considered by the CAPC and staff when
making their recommendation for denial as outlined within the Executive',. ,;
Summary and referred to earlier by Mr. Virta. He also stated that he
sees no indication of these five considerations within the staff report
included in the Agenda package supplied to the Board, and asked if this
occurred throu9h omission.
Mr. Virta replied that the entire staff report has been
incorporated in the ^genda package, and that the recommendation of the
CAPC clearly states that it was based on the fact that there is a lack
of "need" for the extension into the waterway and on the "prolifera-
tion" of boat docks in the general area. He said that the CAPC did
consider the criteria outlined in the O,uinance and thilt thoy (C.".PC)
are of the mind that they do not have tho "room" that would allow them
to "turn down" a boat dock permit based on that criteria. In answet' to
Commissioner Wimer, ~r. Virta said that he did not mean to intimate
that the CAPC recommended denial because they assumed that the Board
would vote negatively; he only meant that the CAPC does noe feel that
they have enough discretion based solely on the criteria outlined
within the Ordinance.
Commissioner ~imer asked Mr. Virta if the CAPC specifically said
this, and Mr. Virta replied affirmatively. Commissioner Wimer then
asked Mr. Virta if the subject petition meets all the requirements
within the Ordinance and Mr. Virta replied affirmatively, stating that
Page 5
February 24, 1981
the staff recommendation to the CAPC was for approval.
There was a discussion regarding the fact that the petitioner does
not need to prove a "hardship" in this particular instance as they are
not applying for a variance, during which Mr. Pickworth stated that it
is his opinion that the Board has no grounds for denying this petition.
Commissioners ~enzel and Brown withdrew their motion to close the
public hearing after the discussion, and Commissioner Wimer moved,
seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that Petition BD-80-l5C be referred
back to the staff, the CAPC and the County Attorney, for investigation
and consideration based on the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The
motion carried unanimously, and Commissioner Wimer clarified his intent
by stating that he wishes this matter to be brought back to the Board
~R Soon as possible; that he wants all recommendations to be based
soley on the provisions of the Ordinance and that personal feelings
regarding how the Board mayor may not vote is not to be considered.
There was a brief discussion regarding the statement by Commis-
sioner Yienzel that Ordinances should reflect the "peoples wishes.,
during which Attorney Pickworth said that this is not the purpose of an
Ordinance; government only has the right to "protect the health and the
welfare of the public.

PETITION CCCL-80-13C, SUBOCE~NIC CONSULTANTS, REQUESTING A VARIANCE
FRO,'! TilE CCCL FOn THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING 11 ROAD\'IA'i/ARTIFICIAL DUNE
STRUCTURE AT ~APLES CAY - DENIED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
February 1, 1981 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition CCCL-80-l3C,
Suboceanic Consultilnts, requesting a variance from the CCCL for the
pur?ose of constructinq a roadway/artificial dune structure at Naples
Cay.
Environmental Consultant Jay Harmic stated that the Board has
previously denied a similar petition for the subject property; that the
petitioner has made certain modifications to the respective plans; and
;
that the variance being requested has been moved inland approximat~ly
40 feet from the previously denied petition. He said that the staff's
recommendation for denial is based on the fact that the changes are
relativley insignificant and he added that the staff have concluded
that there are n0 "established CCCL variance lines. on ildjacent prop-
erties .
Mr. David Tackney of Suboceanic Consultants, stated that there
were considerable modifications made in order to reduce any adverse
affects on the beach on the subject site; that according to U.S. Corps
of Engineers studies, this particular site is not suffering from
erosion, rather, it has enjoyed a certain degree of accretion. He
explained because the subject property is narrow in shape the developer
is proposing the roadway for access to the northerly portion of the
property. Mr. Tackney referred to maps and drawings of the subject
site, known as Naples Cay, and ex?lained the engineering and the rea-
MOK 059 PACE547
, pag e 7
eOOK 059 PACE 548
February 24, 1981
soning behind the various components of the subject plan, including the
construction of a roadway to the north; the reconstruction of the
shoreline; the revegetation of portions of the site; and the
reconstruction of the Gunes.
In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mr. Tackney said that the
construction of a bridge that was discussed at a previous public
hearing has been considered, and that it was discounted because it
would not offer the "dike" qualities of the proposed elevated roadway.
He explained that this particular site is subject to "overtopping" in
storm conditions, and specifically referred to Hurricane Donna and its
effects on thio; ,,1 L". Ile said that the rOnd~lay wt)1I1<'1 help control this
"overtopping" and aid in keeping the sand from being washed away after
the water resedes. He said that the developer's aim is to protect the
proper ~y from "breaching" and that is the reason for the roadway/arti-
ficial dune system design. During the ensuing discussion, Mr. Tackney
said that the petitioner requires the variance for two por~ions of the
roadway; one section of 180 feet; the other for 220 feet. He concurred
with Commissioner ~enzel that this constitutes approximately 50% of the
length of the proposed roadway.
~r. Wafaa Assaad, of Wilson, Miller, Darton, SoIl end Peek,
addressed the Board and stated that he believes the petitioner has
provided the Board with all the details required; that ev~ry attempt
has been made to incorporate the sta'.f's suggestions regarding the
subject engineering plans and specifications so as to allow for
efficient management of the beachi and that apart from all of this,
there would be a great hardship on the part of the petitioner if he
cannot gain access to one of the building sites because the subject
variance is denied. He requested a favorable decision from the Board,
Page B
\
February 24, 1981
noting that he believes it is essential that the developer have access
to previously-zoned developable lands within the subject property.
When asked by Commissioner Wimer if the sole purpose of requesting the
subject variance is to gain access to the site, Mr. Assaad replied
negatively, explaining that the proposed construction will also enhance
the land and protect it against storm damage. There was a brief
discussion regarding the historical sequence of making this kind of a
request, as alluded to by Commissioner Wimer who said that, usually, a
developer does not request a "ariance in order to protect vacant land;
he usually comes in ann requests a variance required to protect land
that is developed. Mr. Assaad explained that because of the past
history dealing with the development of Naples Cay, the developer does
not fpp] that he can continue further until he is assured that the land
,
will indeed be developable. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mr.
Assaad stated that if the Board takes favorable action, the developer
would still be required to receive approval for the subject
construction from the DER and DNR. He added that the state will not
consider the developer's application without first having received
approval at the County level. County Attorney Pickworth concurred,
adding that, historically, the State has encouraged the control of
development through local governmental agencies. He also said that it
may be that the County level criteria is different than that at the
State level.
Mr. Pickworth stated that the "conclusionary" statement made
earlier that infers that the subject petition does not meet the
"reasonably and contiguous uniform line" requirements of the Ordinance
&OOX 059 PACE 549

requires more ~xplanation and he requested that this be expanded upon
by Community Development Administrator Virta. Chairman pistor asked
what kind of development is situated to the south of the subject
property, including any construction seaward of the CCCL. Mr. Virta
said that he believes that the property immediately to the south
belongs to a Catholic Church, and he referred to a drawing that
indicates a groin along that site of "uncertain history", the property
south of that is the Seagate beach/park, which has picnic structures
that project seaward of the CCCL; south of that is The Seahouse, which
is constructed completely upland of the CCCL. He said that north of
the subject property is a part of the Pelican Bay revelopment, with no
intrusion on the CCCL. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mr. Virta
said that he believes that the artificial dune system that is part of
Park Shore Unit 5 protruces seal.:ard of the CCCL, however, he cannot say
this with certainty. In answer to Commissioner Kruse, ~r.. Virta said
that the Catholic Church property line is adjacent to the ~CCL and that
approximately 1/2 of that property is indicated in the drawing as being
proposed for construction beyond the CCCL.
Mr. Tackney referred to a recent aerial photograph of the subject
site and the adjacent area which shows that there are structures
seaward to the CCCL, including the Seagate Club House.
After the discussion the following persons spoke in opposition to
the subject petition:
1. Bernie Yokel, representing the Collier County Con-
servancy.
2. George Keller, representing the Collier County Civic
Association Federation.
3. Louise Polan, resident of the Seagate area.
4. Mike Zewalk, representing the North Naples Civic Assoc.
Page 10
February 24, 1981
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Mr. Tackney responded briefly to certain remarks made by the
aforementioned speakers, including the fact that contrary to ~r.
Yokel's statement, the beaches of Collier County do not "heal them-
selves", if left alone, as proven in thc photograph of. the subject
property after a hurricane, and he added that thc construction of
artificial dunes would reduce the amount of materials that are
deposited in the back waters as a result of the "overlapping", as well
as reduce the number of times that "overlapping" would take place.
In answcr to Commissioncr Wimer, Mr. Virta said that he is recom-
mending denia-l of the ""LlLlun based on the f~ct that there III no
established line of contiguous construction beyond the CCCL, and he
concurred that the other information brought forth today dealing with
any ~ ".her as;oect of the project is "beside the point" if the Board is
to consider the criteria outlined in the relevant Ordinance.
Commissioner Wenzel movad, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and
carried 4/1, with Commissioner Kruse opposed, that the staff recommen-
dation be accepted and that petition CCCL-SO-13C be denied.

PETITION A-80-6C, BnUcE WOOD, APPEALING THE ZONING DIRECTOR'S DECISION
AS TO hHAT CONSTITUTES A FAMILY - DENIED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
Februury 1, 1981 as evidenced by Affidavit of publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider petition A-BO-6C,
filed by Bruce ~ood, who is appealing the Zoning Directnr's decision as
to what constitutes a family.
Zoning Director Jeffory Perry stated that he has been advised by
the petitioner that he will not be present and he, therefore, is
requesting the Board to make their decision based on the information
within the Executive Sum~ary dated 1/19/81, including his recommenda-
tion for Genial of this a?peal.
County Manager Norman said that it seems to him that the
petitioner is really asking for the Ordinance to be amended, and he
requested the Board to direct that the staff not process these kinds of
requests as part of the "appeal" process.
,-
Mr. George Keller, representing the Collier County Civic Associa-
tion Federation, said that he believes that the petitioner is merely
trying to "circumvent" the intent of the Ordinance and requested that
the Board d~ny the petition.
Commissioner ~imer moved, seconded by Commissioner Venzel and
carried unanimiously, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and
carried unanimously, that petition A-SO-6C be denied as recommended by
staff.

PETITION A-8l-1C, B. V. LIMITED PART~ERSHIP, APPEALING THE ZONING
DIRECTOR'S INTERPRETATION OF THE "R}1-2" NON-CONFORMING SETBACK REGU-
LATIONS _ DENIED; STAFF DIRECTED TO STUDY AMENDING ORDINANCE RE
ACCOrlHODATING PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED TO COMBINING THREE OR MORE NON-
CONFORMING LOTS
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
February 8, 1981 and in the Marco Island Eagle on February 13, 1981 as
evidenced by Affidavits of pUblication filed with the Clerk, public
hearing was opened to consider petition A-8l-1C, filed by B. V. Limited
Partnership, appealing the Zoning Director's interpretation of the
"RM-2" non-conforming setback regulations.
Zoning Dircctor Jeffory Perry referred to the Executive Summary
dated 1/27/81 and said that the petitioner has three non-conforming
lots in Golden Gate City, each of which are subject to the less
..
restrictive setback requirements outlined in Section 23, Subsection 13,
of the pertinent Ordinance which allows the use of a set of reduced
setbacks when a lot is substandard in size or shape and qualifies as a
non-conforning lot of record. He said that the petitioner has combined
these three non-con[u(:~ing lots and proposed to construct a
multi-fa~ily building on the three combined lots as one parcel. He
said that it is his determination that when any number of
non-confor~ing lots are combined in order to be used as one parcel, and
the total width and area of these combined lots is such that it meets
standards that qualify that parcel as a conformin~ lot, then, the more
restrictive setback requirements relevant to conforming lots apply,
same requirements being found within Section IS of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Mr. Perry said that the Board should consider that there are many
of these non-conforming lots in the Golden Gate and Marco Island area
aDDK 059 PACE 553
Page 13
BOOK 059 PACE 554
February 24, 1981
...' "
and that any decision made today will also apply to them if they are
"
combined in a like manner.
A discussion followed ce~tered around the epparent lack of any-
thing contrary to the Zoning Director's determination within the
Ordinance; that the Ordinance is somewhat ambiguous reg~rding this
matter as observed by the Co~nty Attorney; and, that if the petitioner
wished to build three separate buildings on each of these three non-
conforming lots, he could enjoy the less restrictive setback require-
ments on each of them, as explained by Mr. Perry. Mr. Perry also said
that if two of the lots were combined, they would still fall in the
non-conforming lot classification, as the minimum requirement of width
and area would not be met; therefore, it is feasible that the peti-
tioner could then build two buildings, one on a double lot and one on a
single lot and enjoy the less restrictive setback requirements on each
parcel; it is only when three or more lots of this size ar~ combined
that the problem occurs because this is the point at which"the minimum
width and area requirements are met for a conforming lot.
Mr. E. Glen Tucker, Attorney representing the petitioner stated
that he believes that the Board has the right to grant this appeal
because there is nothing written that specifically says that combining
non-conforming lots constitutes changing the status of those lots to
that referred to in the Zoning Ordinance as .conforming"; that deter-
mination is an "interpretation" made by the Zoning Director. He said
that the use of these combined lots is not inconsistent with the intent
of Section 15 of the Zoning Ordinance; that the proposed building would
cover less land space on the combined lots than if the petitioner were
to build three separate buildings; ~nd, that the petitioner'S intent is
to build an aesthetically pleasing building. He further commented that
.,
Page 14
February 24, 1981
as the proposed building is designed, it will not fit on the three
combined lots without requiring a variance. He said that he did not
feel that Mr. perry's statement that a favorable decision on this
appeal would affect all ot~er non-conforming lots as it will still be
required in all p~ch cases that all other zoning requirements, regula-
tions, etc, would have to be met. He said that the Board has never
made a similar decision, and that there is a need for a final deter-
mination at this time. He said that he fully understands that Mr.
Perry felt compelled to make his determination and that what he is
asking for is consideration of the intent of the conforming to the
non-conforming lot setback requirements.
In ans~er to Commissioner Wenzel, Mr. Tucker said that the peti-
tioner could"not build the 12 unit mulLl-[a:lIily building on the com-
bined lots with the larger setback requirements and still meet the
minimum required square feet per unit regulations for the building. He
said ~hat the only place that the setbacks cannot be met is along the
back of th" hllildin0. and there is an alley\~ay there anyway.
Mr. William Pattison, project architect, stated that the plans for
the subejct building are such that the less restrictive setbacks ar~
required by the developer in order to have sufficient space for parking
and other amenities that are proposed. He said that the petitioner
could separate the building into two, however, this is not economically
feasible nor would it be aesthetically pleasing. He said that the
petitioner is only lacking 25 feet on the back side of the property;
the remaining setbacks are adequate to meet all requirements.
In answer to Commissioner Wenzel, the County Attorney said that
the petitioner is not requesting a variance; that he does not have to
prove a hardship; that hardships.do not apply here. He said that he
8'OOK 059 PACE 555
Page 15
February 24, 1981
BOOK 059 PAGE 556
foresees a problem with the "hardship case" if the petitioner were to
come to the Board requesting one; as the lot is not "unbuildable"
either as one parcel or as three single lots. He said that what the
petitioner is asking the Board to do is make a "general interpretation
of the Ordinance" th~t would be applicable to him and to any other
person in the same situation. It was suggested that perhaps the staff
could look into changing the setback requirements in the Ordinance to a
"total su~ of all setback" requirement rather than each one addressed
separately.
In answer to Attorney pickworth, Mr. Perry said that this situa-
tion has not come up too of en , except in Marco Island where there is a
proliferation of non-conforming lots. He said the non-conforming lots
in Golden Gate are numerous and unique in shape, and the potential for
this situation coming up again in Golden Gate is there by virture of
Lhes€ nurilbcr~.
In answer to Commi~~inner ~enzel, Mr. Perry said that
the only place there is any flexibility in setback require~ents is in
an industrially zoned area.
Commissioner ~imer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
In answer to Commissioner Brown, Attorney pickworth said that he
feels that the language of the Zoning Ordinance does not specifically
tell the BODrd which way a parcel that has been created by the com-
bining of non-conforming lots is to be considered.
Commissioner ~imer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that
the Zoning Directors' decision be upheld; that Petition A-8l-l-C be
denied; and, that the staff be directed to investigate amending the
Zoning Ordinance so as to accommodate problems of this sort.
Mr. Tucker said that he believes that the Board could rule favor-
Page 16
-~
. ~ . . . ;..
February 24, 1981
ably on this petition and still uphold the intent of the Ordin8nce, 8nd
Commissioner Brown stated that he would like to see some "sentiment of
relief" expresed for the petitioner in the motion. Commissioner Kruse
said that she believes that the petitioner is requesting that the
Ordinance be changed for "aesthetic purposes" and that she is not
inclined to make decisions on that basis. Commissioner Wi~er clarified
his intent by saying that he wants this investigation completed 8S soon
as possible, in order to help the petitioner and other property owners
in the same area.
Upon call for the question the motion carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 81-7 RE PETITI8N R-BO-39C, WILLIAM VINES REPRESENTING
WiST FLGnI~~#I~~VCST~E~!TS, RF01JBSTTN~ A REZONING FROM "A" TO "PUD" FOR
PROPERTY KNOWN AS BAY FOREST - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
January 16, 1981 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was openeo to consider Petition R-80-39C,
filed by ~illiam Vines for ~est Florida Investments, requesting a
rezoning fro~ "A" to "PUO" for property known as Bay Forest.
Com~unity Development Administrator Terry Virta referred to the
Executive Summary dated 2/12/81 and read the contents thereof,
including the following stipulations that the CAPC has attached to
their recommenation for approval:
1. Revision of the PUD Document as indicated in the Staff
Report.
2. petition limiting the develpment of the project to 175
units until 1982 with any further units subject to BCC
approval.
3. Amending the Master Plan to indicate the phasing periods
of the proj ect.

Mr. Virta stated that the overall density of the subject project
will be 5.6 D.U./acre and identified the general location of the
project on an overhead map and drawings.
Mr. William Vines, representing the Developer, outlined the
proposed project, including the planned amenities; the fact that there
will be a total of 697 units and a large amount of open spaces for
recreation. He further explained the proposed preservation of the
nutural bay forest urea which will have boardwalks constructed so as to
allow the residents access to a gazebo. In answer to Commissioner
Wenzel, Mr. Vines explained that a portion of the buildings are
proposed to u height of 15 storfp~ in order to offer the view of the
bay forest and beach area to as many residents as possible; this view
of the beach cunnot be seen until the height of six floors as the beach
is lc~ated approximately 1 mile away. He also said that the proposed
boardwalks, gazebo and boat docks are committed for only to the extent
that the appropriate permits are obtainable.
"
Mr. Vines said that the developer is in agreement with the first
stipulation outlined in the Executive Summary, however, he is not in
agreement to the ones referring to phasing of the project because of
possible unavailability of sewage and/or water services for the
project. He took exception to the establishing of a quota for con-
necting into water/sewer facilities and explained that this project is
no different than any other and that all developments are constructed
with full knowledge that these services may not be available at the
time they are required for various reasons. He said that the developer
will either have to wait until adequate service is available in order
to construct the units, or they have agreed to build an on-site treat-
ment plant, etc., until such time as they become available, or, they
Page 18
February 2~, 1981
will provide funding for'the expansion of the system to the capability
of absorbing the units proposed for construction. He said that he has
discussed these alternatives with the County Utility Director and that
he agrees to them.
Commissioner Wimer suggested that perhaps the best thing to do is
to "rubber stamp" all applications for building permits that there may
not be adequate facilities aV2ilable at the time they are required by
the various developments, and Utility Director Berzon said that all
applications are inclusive of the verbage that indicates that
"availability" is a prerequisite of "services". He said that the CAPe
is responsible for the sug)ested figure of a quota of 175 units as the
first phase for Bay Forest; this was not his recommendation. He said
that h~ hi.5 r(o 0bjcctiun~ to rC::lo'..:i:1g this stipulation. In anS\'Ier to
Commissioner Kruse, County Manager NormDn said that the recent adoption
of an Ordinance requiring the issuance of building permtis based on the
COl..3truction of facilities for these services is not applicable here
because all the facilities will be constructed with the development;
this would be a connection problem. Commissioner Wenzel asked who
would pay for eXFansion for the water/sewer services so that
developer'S needs can be met, and Mr. Berzon said that he sees two
solutions: 1) Federal assistance throuJh the 201 pr09ram, which
includes up to 75% of the cost for expa~sion; or, 2) using local funds
acquired through system developnent charges. He said that he is now
engaged in a feasibility study regarding this and added that perhaps
the answer lies in the developers agreeing to committing to .up front"
payment of system development charges in order to insure adequate
expansion of these services. The discussion continued centered around
this and other related issues including the problem of disposal that is

presently "holding up" the 201 application, as explained by Mr. Berzon.
Hearing that there were no registered speakers who wished to
,
address the subject petition, Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded br
Commissioner Brown and carried unanimously, that the public hearing be
closed.
Commissioner wimer moved, seconded hy Commissioner Kruse, that the
Ordinance as numbered and entitled below be adopted, subject to stipu-
lation =1, as outlined in the Executive Summary.
Mr. Vines concurred that the petitioner agrees to that one
stipulation and stated that the record reflects that the Petitioner has
rccci':cd no gU11r~nt-pp" thilt water/sewer services will be available when
needed. Ee said that one of the following things will be done at the
time that these services required by the developer and are not
av[~i: ~ble:
-
1. The developer will have to wait until such time as they
are available.
2. The developer will fund that portion of the Coun€y's
system's expansion required to allow for providing the
required services.
3. The developer will provide a temporary on-site plant to
provide these services until such time as they are avail-
able and at that point the developer will connect to that
system.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried 4/1, with
Commissioner ~enzel voting in opposition.

CONSIDERATION RE CRE~TION OF POSITION OF DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER -
DEFERRED FOR ONE WEEK
County Manager Norman stated that this is the appropriate time for
consideration of the reclassification of the position of Assistant
County Manager to that of Deputy County Manager because of the impend-
BOOK 059 PACE 563
Page 22
&O~K
059 PACE 564
February 24, 1981
ing change of personnel in the former position. He said that he is
proposing to add certain responsibilities to the position, including
the line authority necessary to administer the departments and service
functions of the Administrative Services Division. Mr. Norman also
said that the proposed position of Deputy County M~n8ger would provide
that the person holding that position could act on behalf of the County
Manager during his absence. Mr. Norman said that approximately $2,000
to $3,000 would be required to cover the salary increase for the
.emaining of this fiscal year, based on the classification of a pay
grade 28 salary range, which represents a salary range some $1,200
higher than that outlined within the Executive Summary, same having
been based on a pay gr~rle 27 in error.
Mr. Norman explained that only the upgrading of the position is
under consideration at this time, and that the actual appointment would
require the Board's approval. He said that he would co~e back to the
Board at a later date with a recommendation for the person to fill the
"
position as soon as possible after Mr. Walker leaves.
Commissioner himer asked if there was any reason that this could
not be deferred for a week, because his thoughts on the matter have
changed somewhat since he read the Executive Summary, and he would like
some additional time to study the matter. Commissioner Kruse con-
curred, adding that she would also like more time. Mr. Norman replied
that this is acceptable as Mr. Walker, the present Assistant County
~anager, has not made any cefinite plans.
Commissioner Pistor commented that both Commissioners Brown and
~enzel would not be peesent at the next meeting and Commissioner Wenzel
stated that he had no objection to deferring this for a week.

explained that that there is a need to verify and/or produce existing
"as built" conditions for each building in the complex, in connection
with certain professional services of the firm of Polizzi/Heery. He
said that this will not be a "study"; rather, it is one of the
"additional or special services" addre~sed within Article 6, of the
contractual agreement between the County and POlizzi/lIeery. He said
that a current blueprint of all the buildings in the complex is needed
and that they need to be inclusive of all the partitioning, changes,
etc. in each building up to this date.

There was a discussion regarding the f~ct that these drawings

County Manager that although the outside structual plans are available I
the interior plans are not. In answer to Commissioner Kruse, Mr.
Norman said that he does not anticipate any further services that will
be required from Polizzi/Heery that are not currently covered in the
existing contract. He said that this was ~nticipated when the Board
considered approval of the contract, and Commissioner Brown recalled
having been involved in such a discussion.

PROPOSED PL~N FOR TRANSITION FROM PRIVATE ~MBUL~NCE COMPANY TO COUNTY-
OPERATED SYSTEM - APPROVED WITH DELETIONS
Public Safety Administrator Hafner presentcd for Board approval a
comprehensive plan designed for an orderly changeover from a private
ambulance company to a County-operated system, as prepared by him and
as containe~ in the Executive Summary dated February 23, 1981, and also
to request approval on the items listed in the proposal which need to
be accomplished.
Commissioner ~enzel move~ for approval of the recommendation.
Chairman pistor s~conded the motion with the comment that it should be
made clear that the suggested plan is not going to cost additional
monics since funds to operate the ambulance service have been budgeted.
Mr. Hafner explained that there has been $575,000 budgeted for the
;
annual contract paYC1ent, under the present system, and, with six months
of the contract year havin1 expired, there are six additional months to
be considered. He said that during the current week he will start a
budget in order to let the Board know the costs for the remainder of
the present fiscal year. Mr. Hafner explained further that the costs
which are detailed in the summary, in the amount of $44,270, will be
funded from the current budget for ambulance service.
Commissioner Wi~er ~oiced his concern over the proposed location
of a trailer to house the ambulance headquarters on Courthouse grounds
due to the possible difficulties which coul~ be encountered in
emergency vehicles attempting to expeditiously depart from the parking
lots. Various remedies were suggested to av~id problems including the
installation of a signal system. Commissioner Wimer stated that, if
the trailer was just a temporary facility, he, personally, would rathcr
investigate the rental or lease of property for the subject purpose. ^
&OOK 059 PACE 575
Page 29
aOllK 059 PACE 576
. Pebruary 24, 1981
further suggcstion was made that the offer from the East Naples Fire
Control District to house the headquarters there should be given con-
sideration.
Another item contained in the proposed expenditures w~s discussed,
i.e. the purchase of a ParaMedic Supv./EMS Director vehicle. It was
pointed out by Commissioner Wenzel that the projected purchase was for
future needs.
Commissioner Brown voiced skepticism that the County will be able
to operate an anlbulance servi:::c ilt a lower cost than under the present
~ystem; however, he said that he will vote in favor of the plan because
the residents of the County need aMbulance service.
Commissioner ~i~er, referring to an additional item in the
expenditure listing, inquired if the item for repairs on the units in
the amount of $5, OCO should not be charged back to l>,'1lerican l>mbulance
with Mr. Hafner stating that it would be. He further questioned if the
service can be run for th~ s~me amount of dollars with Mr.-Hafner
responding "we arc 0oin9 to do it".
Commissioner Wenzcl reiterated his motion to approve the plan with
Commissioner wimer seconding the motion if amended to exclude the
eXpenditure for a trailer, in the amount of $8,500, and the vehicle, in
the amount of $10,000. There was no objection to the amendment to the
motion which curried by unaniT'lous vote.
A short time later in the Session, Ms. Joan Hamilton, resident of
the East Naples area, said that she has conferred with Chief Billman of
the East Naples Fire District who has assured her that there are no
problems with housing personnel or equipment at the Airport Road fire
station. Commissioner Vimer commented on the possible savings
involved.

BOARD ACTS TO ESTABLISH THE COUNTY AS THE PURVEYOR OF AMBULANCE SERVICE
IN COLLIER COUNTY EFFECTIVE APRIL 6, 1981
Commissioner Wimer brought to the Commissioners' attention that,
following a review of the minutes of the previous meeting, there was no
record of the Board authorizing the staff to "go into the ambulance
business". It was pointed out by County Manager Norman that that was
the reason the plan presented earlier in the session was prepared -
pursuant to Board directive.
Commissioner ~imer moved that the County be the purveyor of
ambulance services in Collier County effective April 6, 1981.
Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
There w~s a briet discussion reyarJing "exclusivity" with Com-
missioner Brown statinq that he would not vote for a monopoly nor to
put anyone out of business, voicing his support of the free enterprise
system.
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY, EFFECTIVE APRIL 6,
1981, TO DE ISSUED TO THE COUNTY FOR THE OPERATION OF AN AMBULANCE
SERVICE
Another aspect in the matter of the County's entry into the
ambulance business, said Commissioner ~enzel, is the issuance of a
certificate, following which he moved that the Board of County
Commissioners of Collier County be issued a County-Wide Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity for the operation of an ambulance service,
effective April 6, 1931. Commissioner Wimer seconded the motion which
carried unanimOUSly.

BOARD AUTHORIZES CREATION OF POSITION OF AM3ULANCE SERVICE DIRECTOR
publi'c. Safety Administrator H"fner informed the Board that five
candidates have been interviewed for the position of Emergency Medical
Services Department Cirector and that a unanimous choice has been made
for the selection of one candidate. He provided the Board with details
concerning the candidate, such as prior experience, present position,
qualifications, and the like. Sitting in on the Selection Committee to
review the candidates, said Mr. Hafner, were the County Health
Director, Dr. Cox, the E~S Director of Lee County, Fiscal Officer Hall,
and himself.
There was a shorl LIscu5siorl ;..;ith rcg.::rd to the ar:"tion t.o hp. taken
by the Soard with County Attorney pickworth explaining that all that is
required is for the Board to authorl~a the position and the transfer of
funds into ~he salary account to fund the position, pointing out that
the staff has the authority to hire the individual in question.

BOARD AUTHORIZES LO~N IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,000 FROM FIRE CONTROL
DISTRICT 11 CASH CARRY-OVER FUNDS, INTEREST FREE, TO GOLDEN GATE FIRE
CONTROL DISTRICT, TO MATCH PLEDGES, TO~ARD THE PURCHASE OF FIRE TRUCK
Public Safety Administrator Hafner explained the ne~~ssity for the
request from the Colden Gate Fire Control District to borrow funds from
Collier County Fire Control District #1 cash carry-over funds, as set
forth in the Executive Summary dated February 17, 1981. He said that
the Golden Gate Fire Association has pledged S15,000 towar~ the down
payment on the needed new equipment and that the Fire Fighters
Page 32
.
February 24, 1981
Association has pledged $5,000 for the same purpose provided that
enough County funds can be acquired to match the contributions. Mr.
Hafner said that a new pumper will cost $75,000 under a lease-purchase
agreement.
Co~missioner Wimer moved, sec~nded by Commissioner Wenzel, that
the request be granted.
Mr. H. H. Kieckhefer, President of the Golden Gate Fire
Association, explained that t~e Fire Advisory Committee of the District
has recommenced the purchase of the truck in question and the
Association members felt strongly enough about the urgency of the
pu:~hase that they have pledged $15,000 as a gift to assist in the down
payment and cut the costs of financing in a joint venture with the Fire
Fighters Ass<Jciation '..,ho have pledged $5,OCO. He said that the pledges
were made with the understandin3 that they will be fulfilled if the
County provides matching funds in the amount of $20,000, noting that
$15,000 is the staff recommendation. Mr. Kieckhefer said that since
the District is responsible for 49~ of the coverage in County Fire
District One, he was given the impression that the funds would be
available from t~at source, commenting that it was not made clear that
it would be a loan.
There was a brief discussion concerning the fact that any funds
provided would have to be a loan and, also, whether or not the County
could make such loan. Fiscal Officer Harold Hall explained the
formation of District One, the separate fire districts wnich were
inVOlved, the changes that have been made, millage rate, and the like.
Mr. Hall pointed out that the current cash balance consists of funds
which have been collected throughout the District and, since District
~QOK 059 PACE 581
Page 33
aoOK 059 PAGE 582
February 24, 1981
One is the legal entity, the money has to be expended for the benefit
of the people in that District.
Continuing, Mr. Hall said that the Board could at some time, if
they so chose, enter into a contract in which there would be services
contracted out and the money would be expended in the interests of the
people in the District; however, he said that, as it stands now, there
is not that kind of basis of distribution. It would be in the best
interests of District One, said ~r. Hall, to make a loan to Golden Gate
as they have previously done in the case of the Isles of Capri Cistrict
because a service was being supplied to the District. But, said Mr.
Hall, ownership of the funds should not change until the Board would
adopt Some kind of overall plan for use of the funds - citing the
construction of a building, contract with other agencies for services,
and the like - something that could be defendable as being for the
bencfit of the people in District One as a whole.
Mr. Hall said that he cannot see any problcm with permitting the
"
Golden Gate District to borrow the funds as long as there is a note
reccivable in District One's hands Gnd a note payable in the files of
the Golden Gate District.
The deliberations continued at length covering such aspects as the
distribution percentage of the subject funds between the East Naples
and Golden Gate Districts, tile ability to repay more thar. ~15,OOO from
ad valorem taxes, the increase in the cost of the truck if the purchase
is delayed for a period of time, and other pertinent areas of
consideration. Mr. Hall pointed out that the 49/51 percentage of
distribution ~entioned does not apply to the entire cash carry-over
fund, but rather to the current year's fund.
It was Commissioner Wimer's suggestion that, due to the confusion
paq_ 34
-'
~
February 24, 1981
which has arisen, that the matter "go back to the drawing board and
worked out".
Mr. Hall said that the financial transaction being proposed could
proceed by approving a $15,000 loan, or $20,000 loan if it is felt
there are means to repay that amount and that it would not bother
Golden Gate to owe the larger sum, and the truck purchased, as planned.
Commissioner Wimer observed that perhaps the two entities involved
should be given the opportunity to respond to the information that the
money would be a loan and not a gift, which is their impression. The
Commissioner reiterated his suggestion that action be deferred for one
week for the assembling of facts and figures on which to base an intel-
ligent decision.
It "as C:.omnissioner Kruse's proposal that a loan of $20,000 be
approved from the subject fund with the understanding that if the
organiz2tion chooses to "back off" t:,e loan will not be implemented.
And, in t~e meanti~e, continued Commission~r Kruse, the staff can be
instructed to decide once and for all what disposition is to be made of
the cash carry-over. She observed that the problem is tnat Golden Gate
and East Naples Districts feel that the fund should be divided between
them; however, she pointed out that the fund is an accumulation of
monies from certain other districts. She suggested that the final
disbursement may be up to 50% to Golden Gate which can be used to repay
the loan.
In conClusion, Commissioner Kruse renewed her suggestion
that the loan be authorized with the final decision left to the
organization's discretion.
Commissioner ~enzel voiced the opinion that the Golden Gate
District should be permitted to withdraw their share with Commissioner
Wimer concurring and restating his motion to defer action for one week.
BOOK 059 PACE 583
Page 35
800K 059 PACE 584
February 24, 1981
Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion.
Commissioner Wimer stated that it is his position that the fire
truck is needed and should be bought; however, he dislikes the
confusion surrounding the purchase.
Mr. Hall observed that it would be wise not to try to make a
.
decision on the cash carry-over within one week since the process is a
very involved one, noting his experience with the various water
districts.
At this point, Corernissioner ~irner withdrew his motion.
Commissioner Kruse moved that an interest-free loan in the amount
of ~20,OOO be iluthorized from Uistricl 0,,<: funGs to Colden Gate
District to match the funds pledged towards the purchase of a fire
truck. Com:nissioner ',':enzel second,,(1 the rr,otion.
Co~missioner viner expressed concern over being "hack in the
business of interest-free l02ns which we have worked hard to get away
from". Mr. ~all explained that the problems before were due to the
,
fact that interest-free loans were nade from the General Fund as
opposed to lOilns between two funds which are complimentary
servic~-wi5e, and that he does not beliEve that there would be a
problem in the proposill being discussed.
1.1r. Hafner requested that the [;lotion on the !'loor include the
authoriziltion for the Fire Chief to SOllC;it bids on the fire ~ruck.
CO[;lmissioner Kruse interjected that such action could create a problem
if the pledges are withdrawn, with Co~missioner Wimer explaining that
that is why he was desirous of having the action postponed for one
week. Mr. Kieckhefer expressed the opinion that there will be no
problem since the proposal is for $20,000 instead of $15,000 with
Commissioner I(ruse inqUiring if thiG would be true when it is learned
Page 36
February 24, 1981
that the funds involved will be a loan and not a gift. Mr. Kieckhefe~
explained that that would be out of his jurisdiction. He said that the
vote was taken with the understanding that there would be matching
funds and it was not clarified as to what the matching funds would be.
TIle Chair called for the vote on the question and the motion was
curried 3/1 lvith Co~missioner Brolm voting in opposition and
Co~mi~sioner ~imer not voting, stating his reason for not ~oting was
due to the fact, as stated during the discussion, that he did not have
sufficient facts upon which to vote.
COlOr.lissioner Kruse asked if there is not sone type of action which
could be taken in the future to prevent cash carry-overs and the
ensuing argur.lents such as the one being a~dressed. Chairman Pistor
"
said that he is not sure it is always possible, conmenting that hereto-
fore monies have been paid out from District One to the various fire
districts not just by percentages but by services rendered. Mr. Hall
added the explanation that in the beginning there were four different
contracts involved with four different amounts of monies; i.e. East
Naples contract was on a per-call basis - paid a certain amount per
vehicle and a certain amount per man hour; North Naples' contract was
tied in to taxes. To go back and attempt to ascertain the ownership of
the total dollar ar.lount is not sOffiethins which can be done very easily,
said Mr. Hall, as he explained earlier in the Session. Commissioner
Wimer made the suggestion that it could be done by taking the amount of
taxes collected from the appropriate geographic areas, without
considering the type of contract in effect, making a determination of
the appropriate percentage, and the monies divided on that basis. Mr.
Hall observed that the expenditures made for each of the subject
districts would have to be considered with Commissioner Wimer

concurring. Regarding the amount of time involved in preparing the
information, Mr. Hall estimated that it would take between 15 and 30
clerical man-hours to research the back records which are not on the
computer, adding that, for the past three years, the figures are
available from the computer and, ther9fore, would pose no problem.
It was the Chairman's direction that Mt. Hall be authorized to proceed
with an attempt to figure out en equitable distrihution of the funds as
rapidly as possible, reporting back to the Board with his findings.
The record was clarified to reflect that the action taken does not
include the taking of bids for the fire truck.

opinion, appears to he an inequitable classification for the legal
secretary, as cetailed in his memorandum to the Bo~rd dated February

Co~~issioner Brown moved that the pro~osal and recommendation
submitted by Attorney Pic~worth be approved. The motion died for lack
of a second.
It was Co~missi~ner ~i@er's suggestion that all pertinent changes
be considered at onc time and not taken up s2parately. Chairman Pistor
agreed with the Commissioner, adding the comment that the staff is
currently prcparing a revision, or modification, of the current pay
scale schedule.
Attorney PiCkworth expressed his regret that when the current
schedule was approved in October, 1980 he did not "catch" the fact that
the Legal Secretary position was listed at a pay scale below that of
the Executive Secretary and Administrative Assistant. He said that the
inequity should be corrected without additional delay.
The subject was further discussed and was concluded with the

CALLS TO COUNTY ^MGUL^NCE SERVICE AFTER ~pnIL ~, 1921
Commissioner Wimer suggested that it might be wise to let the
staff know the Board's feelings as to whether or not the Board is going
to cancel tc,e Me:ric2n Ambulance's County Certificate. C:o,.:~",i.<;sioner
Brown noted that he is not in favor of such acti6n. County Attorney
Pickworth explained that it may be null and void anyway and it mey not
be a matter of c2ncolling it. Commissioner Wenzel said that it is his
position, if it can legally be cancelled, to proceed with the cancel-
ation; if not, to let it run out.
Commissioner Y.ruse questioned whether or not it would be appro-
priate to cancel their license since the firm is under a .show-cause.
Page 49
February 24, 1981
order by the State for retention of the license. Chairman Pistor
explained that the Board is the entity which issues the license and,
also the entity which takes it away.
It was pointed out by County Manager Norman that the licenses go
with the vehicles and the only way American could remain in business
would be to acquire additional vehicles and certification since the
existing vahicles are owned by the County. Continuing, Mr. Norman said
that it is the staff recom~endDtion, and presumably the recommendation
of others, that the County shoulr. have exclusive operation,
particularly with regard to the emergency phase, because, for the same
ar1u!Tlents whL.:!J l,,,jiere USCG .....hen .::n exclusive contrAct Has given to
American A:"buL,nc9, the revenue produc!>d by non-e:nergency services help
pay the cost ~or the entire service. He further stated that he
anticipated ptcceeding to come back with a recommendation that such
action be taken and, if such is not the Board's desire, it should be
made kno'lin.
Attorney Pickworth said that, pursuant to the action taken to
cancel the contrzct, he re~u~st~~ his staff to review the matter from a
legal standpoint as to whether or not the existing certificate can be
cancelled. ^ subsidiary issue, continued the Attorney, is whether or
not there is a certificate to cancel because the permit now held was
granted to run an energency and non-emergency service of a certain size
and character, and the like, and, with the cancellation of the
contract, the service is no longer being run. During the ensuing
discussion, it was pointed out by Attorney Pickworth that the
permitting process was established after 1975, and that before that
time there was no such requirement. It was the Chairman's suggestion
that the matter not be discussed further until a legal determinatipn
BOOK 059 PAGE 621
Page 50
'MO~ 059 PAGE 822
February 24, 1981
has been submitted.
Commissioner Wimer said that, philosophically, he does not "go for
government forcing people out of business". Attorney Pickworth
commented on the original contract, notin0 that American ~~bulance
recognized the Golden Gate operator with the provision that if he ever
went out of business, the Golden Gate area would become part of his
service area, and the only other recognized firm was in Immokalee until
that operator h'ent out of business i\nd American took over. Therefore,
there was no comp2tition, per se, said Attorney Pickworth, pointing
that "if you are going to cut yourselves to pieces with small
operations, it will be very expensive".
Commissioner ~ruse observed th&t the time to discuss the matter
would be if and ,;hen American l'.mbulance requests the retention of their
County certificate or \-/hen the staff comes up \'lith a recommendation to
remove it.
,
It was Mr. Norman's suggestion that there should be consideration
of the emergency service, pointing out that there could be
complications with the "911" people making a determination of who
should receive the calls.
Commissioner ~imer moved that the Sheriff's Department personnel
who handle the "911" system he instructed that all calls coming into
the system for ambulance service, whether emergency or non-emergency,
be directed to the COllnty's ambulance service after April f', 1981.
Commissioner ~enzel seconded the motion.
Commissioner Brown indicated that he will not vote in favor of the
motion since, in his opinion, it is monopolistic.
The motion carried 4/1 with Commissioner Brown voting in
opposition.

of the Corps, continued Mr. Norman, that, unless there is a united,
strong position from the Board and the people who will benefit from it,
the project does not stand much of a chnnce. He said that this is
something the Board should be thinking about, remembering that a plan
was developed where the cost could be special-~ssessed and where the
cost of the improvements for the County would not be "that great" in
terms of the burden on the individual pro~crty owners, from which group
a "sort of" preliminary approval WnS received.
Commissioner ~i~er suggested that part of the problem was that
most of the people requeste~ a small project which has turned into a
full-blown interc02stJl ~~tcr~ay.

PUBLIC ~ORKS ACMINISTRATCR/ENGINEER PROVID~S STATUS REPORT RE REOPENING
OF CLI\i<i PASS
Public ',.:or:c5 7',d"inistrator/EnC)ineer Barksdale informed the Board
that, purs~, nt to Board aut~orization, attempts were made to try to
reopen Clam Pass; however, on two different occasions, storms came up
and re-closed it. It has been decided to leave it alone, said Mr.
Barkscale, until the current weather pattern is over. He said he has
met with the consultant who made a study of the entire bay system
during which a previous report of the bay system, in conjunction with
the permitting of Park Shore Unit 5, was reviewed wherein the decision
was made to install pipes underneath Seagat2 Drive. He said part of
the problem seems to be that the drainage area into that basin during
the dry season is not sufficient to build the waters high enou3h to
keep the pass blown open, especially with the culverts. He said that
an attempt will be meoe to install a tempornry plug in the pipes at
high tide to trap as much water in the upper bay system as possible and
