Agenda 02/26/2019 Item # 8A02/26/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This item requires ex parte disclosure be provided by the Commission members. Should a hearing
be held on this item, all participants are required to be sworn in. Recommendation to adopt a
Resolution of the Board of Zoning Appeals of Collier County, Florida, providing for the
establishment of a conditional use to allow a church within an Estates Zoning District pursuant to
Section 2.03.01.B.1.c.1 of the Collier County Land Development Code for property located on the
southeast corner of Golden Gate Boulevard and Collier Boulevard in Section 11, Township 49
South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida. (PL20160002577) (This is a Companion to Agenda
Item 9.A)
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) review staff’s findings and
recommendations along with the recommendations of the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC)
regarding the above-referenced petition, render a decision regarding this conditional use petition, and
ensure the project is in harmony with all the applicable codes and regulations in order to ensure that the
community's interests are maintained.
CONSIDERATIONS: The subject property consists of ±6.25 acres of land and is located at the southeast
corner of Collier Boulevard (CR 951) and Golden Gate Boulevard, Section 11, Township 49 South,
Range 26 East, of Collier County, Florida. The petitioner is requesting that the BZA consider an
application for a Conditional Use to permit construction of a new church for the subject parcel, which is
zoned E, Estates. A church is listed as an allowable conditional use in the Estates zoning district. There is
a companion small scale Growth Management Plan (GMP) Amendment with the petition.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County collects impact fees prior to the issuance of building permits to help
offset the impacts of each new development on public facilities. These impact fees are used to fund
projects identified in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) as
needed to maintain an adopted Level of Service (LOS) for public facilities. Additionally, in order to meet
the requirements of concurrency management, the developer of every local development order approved
by Collier County is required to pay a portion of the estimated Transportation Impact Fees associated with
the project in accordance with Chapter 74 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances. Other fees
collected prior to issuance of a building permit include building permit review fees. Please note that
impact fees and taxes collected were not included in the criteria used by staff and the CCPC to analyze
this petition.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The subject property is designated Estates, Mixed-Use
District, Residential Estates Subdistrict, as depicted on the Golden Gate Area Master Pl an Future Land
Use Map (GGAMP) and in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan of the GMP.
Comprehensive Planning Staff has concluded that the Grace Romanian Church CU petition may not be
deemed consistent with the GGAMP. However, it may be found consistent IF the companion GMP
amendment petition PL-20160002584/CPSS-2017-1 is approved (adopted) and becomes in effect. The
CU Resolution needs to provide for the effective date to be linked to the effective date of the companion
GMP Amendment.
Transportation Element (TE): The project is consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element
of the Growth Management Plan, which states,
“The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications,
conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE)
8.A
Packet Pg. 22
02/26/2019
affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with
consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve
any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in
the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the
current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment
that is currently operating and/or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service
Standard within the five year AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are
also approved. A petition or application has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement
reveals that any of the following occur:
a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or
exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume;
b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or
exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and
c. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where it is
equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume.
Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant and
submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project’s significant impacts on
all roadways.”
The proposed Church development will generate a projected total of +/- 12 PM peak hour, 2-way trips for
the proposed facility on the adjacent local roadway, Golden Gate Boulevard and Collier Boulevard (CR
951). There is adequate capacity on both roadways to accommodate the proposed Church development.
Therefore, the subject Conditional Use can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation
Element of the Growth Management Plan, and as noted above the Traffic Impact Statement (TIS)
indicates that the adjacent roadway network has sufficient capacity to accommodate this project within
the 5-year planning period.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION: This project does not
require Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project did not meet the EAC scope of
land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Codes of Laws
and Ordinances.
COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION (CCPC) RECOMMENDATION: The CCPC
heard petition CU-PL20160002577 on September 20, 2018, and by a vote of 5 to 1 (Mr. Strain against) to
forward the petition to the Board with a recommendation of approval with stipulations that were offered
by the applicant. Mr. Strain voted against the petition stating the proposed use is incompatible with the
neighborhood, and the church size is more of a commercial operation. The CCPC approval
recommendation was a split vote, and there was some opposition to the petition by nearby property
owners.
The Board of Zoning Appeals heard petition CU-PL20160002577 on November 13, 2018 and voted to
return the petition to the Planning Commission for a recommendation on how the project could be made
more compatible with the neighborhood. During the Board discussion on November 13, 2018, the BZA
discussed a condition for no outdoor amplified sound. This condition has been added to the conditions of
approval.
On January 17, 2019, the CCPC again heard petition CU-PL20180002577 with revised conditions of
approval offered by the applicant. By a vote of 7-0, the CCPC forwarded the petition to the Board of
Zoning Appeals with a recommendation of approval for the applicant’s revised conditions of approval to

use that is permitted in a particular zoning district subject to certain restrictions. All testimony given must
be under oath. The attached report and recommendations of the Planning Commission are advisory only
and are not binding on you. Petitioner has the burden of demonstrating that the necessary requirements
have been met, and you may question Petitioner, or staff, to satisfy yourself that the necessary criteria has
been satisfied. In addition to meeting the necessary criteria, you may place such conditions and
safeguards as you deem appropriate to allow the use, provided that there is competent, substantial
evidence that these additional conditions and safeguards are necessary to promote the public health,
safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, or the general welfare of the
neighborhood. As a further condition of approval of the conditional use, you may require that suitable
areas for streets, public rights-of-way, schools, parks, and other public facilities be set aside, improved,
and/or dedicated for public use, subject to appropriate impact fee credits. Approval or denial of the
Petition is by Resolution. This item has been approved as to form and legality, and it requires an
affirmative vote of four for Board approval. (HFAC)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff concurs with the recommendation of the CCPC, which is reflected in the
attached Resolution and recommends that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve the applicant’s request
for conditional use for a church.

MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, we move now to Item 8A under
Board of Zoning Appeals and also Item No. 9A under advertised

together this morning.
Item 8A is a recommendation to adopt a resolution of the Board
of Zoning Appeals providing for the establishment of a conditional use
to allow a church within an Estates zoning district for property located
on the southeast corner of Golden Gate Boulevard and Collier

Both -- Item 8A, Mr. Chairman, requires ex parte disclosure be

So here is the site location of our project. It's located at the

Approximately .75 miles to the east is Big Cypress Elementary School,
and .62 miles to the east is Max Hasse Community Park, for an idea of
where we are.
Here is an aerial view of the project location. It's a total of 6.25
acres in two parcels. The south parcel is where a single-family home
is currently, and then the north area is wooded and undeveloped.
So included in this petition is two requests. One is the small-scale
Growth Management Plan Amendment to include the site in the list of
exceptions to the locational criteria for a church in the Golden Gate
Master Plan. The map you see to the right of the screen is what would
be included in the Growth Management Plan as well as the text
changes that we've proposed.

The second request is a conditional use to allow church in the
Estates zoning. The conditional use would be consistent with the LDC
and would be reliant upon the approval of the GMPA.
So first we'll talk about the Growth Management Plan
Amendment. In addition to staff analysis in the report that
recommends approval, this is the list of the criteria in Chapter 163 of
Florida Statutes for map amendments. Ten acres or fewer, no more
than 120 acres in small-scale amendments per year, proposed text
changes only, not located in an area of critical state concern, and it
preserves the internal consistency of the Comprehensive Plan. We are
consistent with all of that criteria.
So moving on, the conditional use is the bulk of our request. So
first, the existing zoning is Estates zoning. In that zoning district,
permitted uses include single-family dwellings, family-care facilities,
essential services, and educational plants. Churches are allowable as a
conditional use in the Estates zoning district.
So then this is our conceptual site plan. First, this is -- you'll see
the ingress and egress proposed on Golden Gate Boulevard on the
north end. Next is the development area including up to 24,000 square
foot of a primary structure, and then also in the yellow you'll see
outdoor recreation and/or a potential pastor's residence with a
maximum square foot of 3,500 square feet.
And then in the green you'll see the water management and
preserve areas as required. And we've also shown a minimum of 129
parking spaces that would be needed as required by code for a
maximum of 300 seats in the sanctuary.
So then for our landscape buffers along Golden Gate Boulevard
and Collier Boulevard, we're going to be providing a 15-foot Type D
buffer as required, and then to the south along First Avenue, we'll have
a 10-foot-wide Type D, and then we'll also have a 4-foot wall along
that buffer as required by code.
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 42 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 44
To the east, north of the residential, is our preserve area. And
also to the east and then south, adjacent to the residential property,
we'll have a 15-foot-wide enhanced Type B buffer. This is a rendering
of the view that you would see from that residential property to the
southeast.
So for traffic conditions, we do have Norm Trebilcock here, our
traffic consultant, to answer any technical questions, but I'll give a
brief overview of what we have. This is just another
existing-conditions photo. This is a little bit older, so we've just drawn
a line and an arrow to show that there is a median extension that was
constructed in fall of 2017 to prevent left turn from Golden Gate
Boulevard.
So here on our conceptual site plan you'll see that we've shown
100 percent of our inbound traffic will be into that one access on
Golden Gate, and then 100 percent will be outgoing as well.
We've shown that approximately 20 percent of the traffic will turn
right and go southbound onto Weber, and then 50 percent would
continue and make a U-turn and go westbound, and then 30 percent
would continue eastbound.
So then we do have a lengthy list of proposed conditions. I'll just
go through those as quickly as I can. These are -- number one, we've
limited the church service hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends
and holidays, and we've also limited church-related meetings from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays with a maximum of
200 parishioners for those meetings. We've also included that Easter
sunrise service will be permitted.
A maximum of 24,000-square-foot total building area with no
more than 300 seats in the sanctuary, and then a maximum of 140
parking spaces.
So then No. 4 is our list of prohibited accessory uses that includes
daycare, food services, and educational services.
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 43 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 45
And then No. 5 is our permitted accessory uses, and we've
included some outdoor play area, gazebo, covered pavilions, and that's
where you'll see our pastor's residence with maximum of 3,500 feet,
and any storage sheds would be maximized at 1,800 square feet.
Number 6 is that signs will be on Golden Gate and Collier
intersection, and they're prohibited on Weber Boulevard.
Number 7, a church representative must be present if the property
is leased for any events, and it's limited to certain events. We've added
a specific list to include charitable events, weddings, funerals,
educational events, events associated with holidays, and governmental
events.
Number 8 is limiting up to 12 events per year, and no carnivals
will be permitted.
Number 9, outdoor amplified sound is prohibited unless permitted
temporarily by a temporary or special-use permit.
Number 10, no outdoor accessory recreation area lighting, and a
pastor's residence, if constructed, would be lit similar to other
residential in the estates area.
Number 9 (sic) is a list of site lighting parameters that we've
discussed with staff and agreed upon. It includes Dark Skies
compliance, height limitations, and shielding to those lights.
Number 12 is no steeple lighting will be permitted.
Thirteen, this discusses our enhanced Type B buffer that's
adjacent to that residential property to the southeast, and we'll be
providing Type B up to 80 percent opacity within one year.
Number 14 is the actual building height will be 50 feet maximum
and 60 feet for the steeple.
Fifteen is the dumpster will be located on the western edge of the
preserve. We've added in "if needed," because we may start with just
some roll-out containers, and if we do decide to build one, we'll put it
there.

Sixteen, a maximum of 12 weekday peak-hour trips and 240
weekend peak-hour trips based on our ITE study.
Number 17 is that during certain events the county may require
traffic control. This is the customary condition that's been placed
recently on most places of worship.
And then our last condition is that a wall would be constructed
along First Avenue Southwest. The code requires a 4-foot wall there,
so we will be committing to doing that.
And that's all I have. Any questions?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We have how many public speakers;
three?
MR. MILLER: We have three, yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So would you like to hear the public
speakers first?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sure.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I have a question that might
alleviate some concern, potentially. In terms of the leasing, I think you
said there were 12 special events that you could lease out.
MS. WEAVER: Per year, correct.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Per year. And will the lessee
be constrained to operate in the same hours and conditions as the
church? In other words, no outdoor music amplified, no later than 10
p.m., and that sort of thing?
MS. WEAVER: Correct. So all of the other conditions would
still apply, the hours, but they may request outdoor amplified sound in
their temporary-use permit that would be reviewed. It may or may not
be approved on a case-by-case basis.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Just one quick question. I
think with any development or any commercial business or whatever,
many times they require less parking than really they should, and then
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 45 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 47
it becomes offensive to the people around there because the cars find
someplace to park, and it might be on the street, and it might be on
people's lawns.
I think we should -- this is, of course, just my opinion. We should
ask for more parking now because they expect to go up to 300
parishioners, and 140 spaces will not take care of all of that, especially
if they have guests or events.
So if it's possible, then -- this is just coming from one person -- I
think we should add parking, extra parking.
MS. WEAVER: So on our site plan, we're showing that there
would be a minimum of 129, which is required for that 300-seat
sanctuary, and then we do have a condition in our list for 140
maximum, and that came from a CCPC recommendation.
I don't know if we would build more than 129 parking spaces to
start, but I think we're more than willing to remove the maximum in
the case that we ever need more and want to construct additional
parking.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: But in case -- is there a way to allot
enough parking for, say, 175 spaces, even if they're not built initially,
but the space would be reserved in case? Because I would hate to see
it spill over into the neighborhood and then aggravate people.
MS. WEAVER: We may be able to find a place for it, especially
if the building isn't constructed exactly as shown, if the footprint is a
little bit smaller or the recreation area is a little bit different. What
we're showing is max buildout and what would be required by code for
that.
I think that we would prefer to have to construct whatever's
required, and then if an event happened where we need to build more,
we certainly would have room for that. We do have some extra space
where we could fit in a few more spaces, but we've -- this plan shows
where 129 would fit.

CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's only one access point as well,
right?
MS. WEAVER: Correct.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So if somebody was to park on First, they
would have to walk --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Through the woods.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Or all the way around. Yeah. Okay.
Commissioner Taylor, do you want to talk now, or do you --
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. I guess I'm just going to
pose a question to my colleagues up here without expecting an answer
but to keep it in the back of your minds. How are we going to enforce
this? And that's all I have to say.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Wouldn't we enforce that the
same way we do other restrictions on any development?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well --
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I mean, Code Enforcement
would enforce any code violations.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I would presume. That's the
way we do it with any business.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But it becomes -- it has -- it's my
understanding in situations where these wonderful, wonderful
structures are put next to -- or nestled in residential, and I guess in this
case it's put next to it, the growth of these churches is, thankfully,
phenomenal, and it becomes almost unmanageable, and it becomes a
detriment to the residential around there.
And I visited the site, and there is a beautiful home, beautiful
home. It's a two-story, almost looks like three-story, I know it wasn't,
right next to it. I mean, right there now they're going to be looking into
this. I just -- I can't imagine that. It's not even zoned for this area;
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 47 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 49
that's why they're before us, and yet we're actually considering
affecting a neighborhood, the Golden Gate Estates. I just -- I'm having
a lot of trouble with this one.
So I'd just like to know how we're going to enforce it. Yes, we
can all Code Enforcement, yes, they can come out, but the damage has
been done.
MR. YOVANOVICH: May I? For the record --
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: -- Rich Yovanovich.
A couple of facts that maybe Commissioner Taylor's not aware
of. We've actually coordinated with the neighbor that you're
concerned about, and that neighbor is the one who asked us for the
landscape to be the landscape buffer we're proposing adjacent to their
property and didn't want a wall. They preferred enhanced landscaping.
So we have reached out and coordinated with the neighbor.
I will also tell you that we will go through the Site Development
Plan process, we will meet the code, and we will be no different than
any other project that goes through the process. I will also tell you that
it's a rare occasion that churches exceed the parking.
Now, I'm going to tell you, we all know that Christmas and Easter
Sunday sometimes, you know, all bets are off. But generally you don't
find issues with churches. And I've done a few of these, and I'll give
you an example that was a hotly contested church in the Pine Ridge
community. Covenant Presbyterian Church was recently expanded on
U.S. 41. The Pine Ridge community was concerned about all this
cut-through traffic, and a lot of these general provisions you now see,
including having to hire an off-duty police officer or a sheriff's deputy
to manage traffic in case people are cutting through and not respecting
the neighborhood, have become general conditions.
And to my understanding, and Mr. Casalanguida and Mr. Ochs
can correct me if I'm wrong, that condition has never been
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 48 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 50
implemented where there's a sheriff's deputy there at Covenant
Presbyterian Church on Sundays because of the potential concern that
people are worried about.
I live in that community, so I go by there. I don't go by there
every Sunday, but I do go by there. So I don't think that these concerns
actually come to fruition, and I don't think people are parking in the
swales at Covenant Presbyterian Church.
This is a small church. Three hundred seats is not a mega-church.
It's not a large church. They will be respectful to the community, have
made a lot of changes based on community input, including limiting
access just to Golden Gate Boulevard and not coming off of Weber.
So I think that enforcement is not going to be an issue, and if it is
an issue, you have a code enforcement office that will come out and
make sure we don't have any problems. But I think that there will not
be problems, and we have coordinated with the immediately adjacent
neighbor in designing this site plan.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I guess it's my opinion that
Golden Gate is a very wonderful -- Golden Gate Estates is a very
unique and wonderful part of our community; that the integrity of the
Estates needs to be maintained. And sometimes these projects, little
bit by little bit, start to eat away at it.
To me, Golden Gate Estates makes this community unique. We
don't have another neighborhood or area like Golden Gate Estates.
This is -- you're coming before us because the plan for this area was
never to put a church here. And so I'm really having a problem,
because the church of my day is not the church of today.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, and the church that we're proposing
is the church of your day. And I will tell you that Golden Gate Estates,
the Comprehensive Plan is so narrowly written that it almost
essentially prohibits places of worship out in Golden Gate Estates. I
don't think the Commission intended to be that broad in the
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 49 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 51
prohibition. If you'll notice we're always coming through with a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to put a church out in Golden Gate
Estates.
You have very specific conditional-use criteria to address the
compatibility and address that, and that's what we're doing, and we're
going through the heightened review to have to do a Growth
Management Plan amendment out in Golden Gate Estates to put in a
very neighborhood-oriented smaller church.
I would agree if we were talking about a thousand-seat church on
this corner, but we're not talking about a thousand-seat church. So it is
a neighborhood church, and it hasn't evolved from other small
neighborhood churches that you'll find throughout Collier County that
have not negatively impacted the neighborhoods in which they're
located.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Then I would argue that Golden
Gate Estates was designed so that folks who live there would have
their peace and quiet respected, and that if they wanted to go to church,
they would understand, by living in Golden Gate Estates, they would
drive there. And I don't mean to be argumentative, but to me that's the
true -- that's the true genesis of the Golden Gate Estates.
Thank you.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'll go after speakers.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. We have a couple of speakers.
MR. MILLER: Yes, Mr. Chairman. Your first speaker is John
A. Kelly. He's been ceded three additional minutes from Renate S.
Kelly. Ms. Kelly, could you indicate your presence?
Raises hand.)
MR. MITCHELL: Thank you. And Mr. Kelly will be followed
by Tim Pratt.
MR. KELLY: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is John
Kelly, and I reside at 221 Weber Boulevard South.

I also represent my mother, Renate Kelly, who resides at 291
Weber Boulevard South. Together we have 10 acres located within the
notification area of the subject petitions.
I will also let you know that although some of you recognize me
as being on your payroll, I appear before you today as a citizen and
full-time resident of Collier County and concerned resident.
Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for your comments. They're spot on.
There's insufficient time for me to say everything I feel that I
must, so let it suffice to say that I'm here today to ask that you respect
your Growth Management Plan and the incorporated Golden Gate
Estates Master Plan as they exist today.
It is your GMP that provides guidance and structure to your Land
Development Code. If the community cannot have confidence in the
Growth Management Plan, how can they have any member of the
community make any competent decisions pertaining to anything
having to do with zoning issues within the county?
When my family purchased property in Golden Gate Estates
some 20 to 25 years ago, we were very much assured that there would
never be any commercial development; that it was a residential area.
What concerns me more is that once you consider granting of a
GMP amendment here, you're opening the door to others within the
immediate vicinity. I'd also argue that by considering both the GMP
amendment and a conditional use zoning action simultaneous, the
county seems to be engaging in spot zoning. Is that really the practice
this county cares to engage in and the direction in which we care to
proceed?
As for my family, we're not so much opposed to a church as we
are fearful what else could result. As you may or may not know, the
church in question had a prior location off Livingston Road where they
had rezoned property, had a Site Development Plan, and subsequently
for 300-seat church and subsequently sold that property. They
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 53
ended up at the current location, as it was affordable; however, there's
been no mention that during this process the applicant purchased
additional property in an appropriately zoned area and obtained
permitting to convert the lower level of that property to a church.
What happens if the church decides again to sell off their
property? You'll have already approved a GMP amendment. So
please consider that.
Now, then, the issue of a conditional use at this location. I truly
believe that your Planning Commission, with exception to the
chairman, totally lost perspective. Rather than discussing how to
ameliorate the impacts of a church being located within a residential
community, they decided to argue what services could be offered or
should be offered by a church.
It was argued -- well, I'll just cut to the chase. The member on the
Planning Commission that offered the motion to approve the church,
or not to approve but to move it forward to you with a favorable
recommendation of approval, conditioned that on the church providing
alcohol and drug rehabilitation services or counseling. That's
concerning to me in a residential area.
And the church did not say that -- no, we told the community at
two neighborhood meetings that that would be prohibited. They
decided to say, yes, we welcome and would like to provide that
service. It concerns me what we're going to end up with at this corner.
In closing, I, again, ask you to leave your Golden Gate Area
Master Plan as it is today without amendment. At the very least,
should you disagree, I beg you to send the item back to your Planning
Commission so as they can really discuss how to ameliorate the effects
of a church providing alcohol and substance-abuse counseling at this
location, and I thank you for your time very much. Thank you.

MR. MILLER: Tim Prett? Tim Pratt?
No response.)
MR. MILLER: I guess he's not present, sir.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, yes. I have a couple of
things and a suggestion. I'm not at all opposed to having the CCPC
review this again. There were some adjustments after the original
public notice process, number 1.
Commissioner Taylor, and not to correct you but just to add
assurance to what you're talking about, churches are allowed in Golden
Gate Estates.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, I know that.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Everywhere. They all require a
conditional use which is the precept for this applicant's coming
forward. So even on a small piece of property in a residential area, a
church is, in fact, allowed but by conditional use request, which brings
them forward to put these stipulations in.
We are, as we all know, in the process of reviewing the Golden
Gate Estates Master Plan and the GMP amendment process and have
found multiple shortcomings in the public notice process, which is
difficult for me. I mean, shortly after I became commissioner, a school
was placed out in Golden Gate Estates right on Immokalee Road, and
the school only had to notify two people, two residents that were in
that nearby surrounding area.
So I've got concerns with the use. One of the things that I would
like to suggest and, again, depending on what you-all believe we
should do, is -- because the Grace Romanian -- I certainly don't have
any issue with the particular church that's coming before us. I would
like to suggest to our residents out there that this intersection, yes, it is
currently zoned residential. It could be something else other than a
church.
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 53 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 55
But my concern is with the use change or with the ownership
change. Right now we're dealing with the folks at Grace Romanian
Church, baptist church, and then some day somebody else decides they
want that particular location more than they do.
And so I would like to have a discussion, whenever this comes
before us, about ownership shift. If, in fact, this becomes a different
church than the particular ones that are applicants now, that we have a
we have some opportunity. And I don't know if we can do that
legally or not, Rich. You're making a face at me, so...
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sorry. I lost my poker face.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sorry. But that's one of the
things.
Now, the second question that I have is, I was under the
understanding that we were -- we weren't physically going to be doing
drug and alcohol rehabilitative services. It was just an allowance for
AA meetings, which most all churches, in fact, do have.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. And I was going to address that
point when I got up here.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Oh, okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And I'll do it now since you brought it up,
or do you want me to wait?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: No. Go ahead, please.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I was only going to add that I watched the
entire Planning Commission meeting, and the discussion was about
AA meetings and groups like that. Not operating a rehabilitation
center, right?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes. And first of all, the approval of the
church was not conditioned upon our providing these services. The
motion was made by one of the Planning Commissioners that they
didn't want to prohibit the church if AA or Narcotics Anonymous
wanted to have meetings at the church. It was never said, "In order to
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 54 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 56
be able to do a church, you have to provide this." And we are not
providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.
That is not what we're doing. It was never what was intended by
the Planning Commissioners that brought that up, but at least the
church I go to, and many churches throughout Collier County, do
provide space for AA meetings to occur, and that is the total context of
where that came from, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation was not an
approved use in this conditional use and was not a condition precedent
for a church being allowed to occur on that site.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I also express the same
concerns or carry the same concerns that Commissioner Taylor does
because, you know, I've said it on multiple occasions. The
enforcement aspect, once we approve something, is after the fact. And
the impact on our neighbors on Weber and on Golden Gate Boulevard
that is, in fact, main and main for the major access point for currently
out of Golden Gate Estates, is -- it's going to be -- it's going to be a
tremendous impact on the neighborhood.
So I carry those same concerns that you have expressed,
Commissioner Taylor, with regard to the intensity. I think the
applicant, though, has reduced those impacts as much as physically
possible, or at least allowed for them to be reduced. I'm concerned
about the enforcement aspect, though.
What are we going to -- other than someone, the neighbor, calling
to complain about an after-hours event or too loud of an event that's a
special use -- and that was a question. Who approves the special-use
permits? Does that come back to us, or is that done administratively?
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's your staff approves special-use
permits.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So the neighbors that are there
that are impacted by staff allowing a noise-amplified event are
relegated to who?
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 55 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 57
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I guess staff, and it would be --
staff would approve appropriate hours of operation for that event. For
instance, I didn't know that if you have a church picnic and you
actually allow guests to come to that who are not church members, you
have to get a special-event permit for that.
So those are the types of events that -- you know, or a church yard
sale, things like that, are going to require a special-events permit.
They're typical events that churches have.
I know one concern was raised by Mr. Kelly both at the
neighborhood information meeting and the -- sometimes churches have
carnivals and things like that, and that's been prohibited. So those --
we've tried to take care that there would be no events that would be
disruptive to the neighborhood in limiting it to -- through the
special-events process.
I don't -- I mean, I don't really think that you get that many
complaints from churches, and when you do, we're going to be brand
new building. It's not going to be older buildings that are metal
buildings and things like that where you do have some concerns about
noise coming from the building when you're having a regular service.
I think we've done everything we can to put reasonable
conditions, including limiting the hours of operation during the week
to nonpeak hours, low peak-hour trips during the week. Churches are
Sunday morning, generally, traffic generators, and I think that we're
going to fit in nicely with the community. And the other communities
that have experienced these same concerns, they haven't come to
fruition.
MR. KLATZKOW: Commissioners, this is a conditional use.
You can add restrictions. I mean, what's set before you is not in stone.
If there are additional restrictions you want to place on this in order to
make you comfortable with this, you can do so, including prohibiting
amplified sounds, period.

COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Outside events.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So I have Commissioner Fiala and
Commissioner Taylor with their lights on, but we just gave our court
reporter an award, and so I'm just going to say, can we finish up, do
you think? Are you okay? Okay. We'll then --
MR. OCHS: I'll remind you you have a 10:45 time-certain.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We have a 10:45 time-certain as well, so.
Okay. Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, two things. I forgot to declare
on the ex parte I spoke with two Planning Commissioners, and I did
not mention that. So I'm sorry.
The second thing is, I was -- I, too, respect the efforts that have
been put in to preserve the Golden Gate Estates feel, the country feel,
the feeling of open space, and the feeling of privacy and keeping out of
the commercial businesses. And I just hope that -- one little fear that I
have is I hope this doesn't lead to other commercial businesses wanting
to come in, and especially not on side streets or other things.
I can understand in this particular case, but does this church,
wherever they're located now, if they have a location, does it have a
reputation in that neighborhood as to how it gets along? And I know
you wouldn't have that information, but I'm curious.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I could tell you that they've been
worshipping at First Baptist. They've had to relocate, so temporarily
bought an office building, and that's the renovation that Mr. Kelly was
referring to as their building out some office spaces as an interim use,
and then they want to -- they want this to be their permanent home.
So I can only tell you that I spent four years at a baptist college,
and they're not loud, crazy people. Now, Lutherans can be a little bit
different.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, that was a good one.
MR. YOVANOVICH: But I can -- you know, I could just say,

Commissioner, I went to more than one church service, and they're not
bad neighbors, and they're not going to --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: No, you know, I wouldn't think that
either. Baptists are pretty strict anyway, aren't they? And they do play
a lot of music because, you know, the younger people nowadays enjoy
worshipping by music and through music, and so I realize that as well.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner Taylor.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. I wondered if we could get
any kind -- kind of without warning, Mr. French, but it's my
understanding that we do have challenges with code enforcement of
churches throughout our county, and I wonder if you have any kind of
information you could bring forward or you feel comfortable bringing
forward, not mentioning names, but --
MR. FRENCH: Good morning. For the record, Jamie French.
I'm your deputy department head for the Growth Management
Department. Code Enforcement falls underneath my purview.
Yes, ma'am, there are a number of the older churches where
zoning wasn't quite so tight that we have had Code Enforcement
engage with some of those churches. Typically what we're findings is
that as these churches that come in and occupy these formerly built
structures that zoning was in place, they go beyond the entitlements to
where they do have some parking restrictions. They -- at times they
will have some unpermitted events, and all of those applications do
come through our office, and they do get thoroughly reviewed. If it's
after hours, if there's anything to that magnitude that would require
additional assistance, we reach out to the County Manager's office as
well as to the County Attorney's Office for further direction.
But, yes, some of the older churches where we're starting to see
new people or new organizations come in, we do struggle a little. But
in this particular case, ma'am, I have reviewed this documentation.

And I will tell you that the Planning Commission and the applicant has
done a pretty good job and, as Mr. Klatzkow alluded, you can certainly
put conditions in there that would restrict any additional uses beyond
what they're asking for.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you.
MR. FRENCH: Yes, ma'am.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have a rather unusual request,
and that is there's been -- several people came that would like to speak
that are from the public, and if you would so entertain it, Mr. Chair, I'd
like to have them have that opportunity to be swore in and speak on
this matter.
I don't know if you actually closed the public hearing portion of
this or the public speaking portion of this, but --
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: They're not registered to speak.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: They are, but they turned their
slip in late.
MR. MILLER: Actually, it's kind of a double-edged thing here.
Michael Ramsey submitted two slips, one for 8A, 9A. We're only
accepting one slip for both items, but he did submit a slip after we
were done hearing public speakers.
Chairman's prerogative, sir.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: He is the president of the
Golden Gate Civic Association.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: If he wants --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Was he here to be sworn in?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Not yet. He was in the
hallway, I think, or on his way.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think if he wants to speak and he put in a
slip for one of them, I think he should be entitled to speak.

COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Did you raise your hand? Tell
him, Terri.
MR. OCHS: Sir, just for reference, and for the audience
reference, you must register before the Board begins hearing the item.
That's the protocol that the Board has followed for years. So if you
want to be heard on an item, please get your speaker slip in before the
discussion starts on that.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And you can change your mind
during the discussion, but it's most important to get it in.
The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
MR. RAMSEY: I would have been here earlier, but there's no
parking places. It's absolutely full.
My name's Michael Ramsey. I'm the president of the Golden
Gate City Area Civic Association. I spent 10 minutes looking for a
parking place just to get up here.
On this issue with the church, first and foremost, we had gone
through meetings with community and neighborhood information
meetings for the last year, year and a half with this church. We started
off with information from the church at a certain level of activity, and
it appeared that the church was working its way into fitting in with the
rural community that we have.
After a year of meetings, they came back with an update on their
plans. It increased the activity and the number of people in there. We
went to the neighborhood information meetings, and there was a lot of
people that were against it because it didn't fit well into the
community. It appeared that they were not trying to fit into the
community. So we do have an issue with that and were against it at
that point after the second neighborhood information meeting.
Second, although it's -- I don't know if it's expressed clearly, that
area next to that intersection has high traffic. And the road, First
Street, also intersects with two other churches and the park, Max Hasse
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 60 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)

Page 62
Park. This thing has a lot of traffic implications on the weekends and
during events. I don't think that's been brought up in here, and it really
does interfere with the residential rural lifestyle in the Estates.
And, for that reason, we'd be against the rezone and also
transmitting the growth management issue with it because the Golden
Gate Master Plan is still under review, and we had recommended to
wait till we had finished and did the update. So for those two reasons
we would not recommend approving this. Thank you for the time, and
we need a bigger parking lot.
MR. OCHS: You've got a five-story parking garage right there.
Free parking, sir. We have a second one as well.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Can I respond to some of those
comments?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sure, briefly.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'll try.
First of all, the building has always been 24,000 square feet. The
changes that occurred between the first NIM and the second NIM were
to change the access to no longer have access on Weber, to actually
allow them to have worship services other than on Sunday. Because
when they came to meet with me after they had these initial meetings
and I wasn't there at the very beginning -- I said to them you do
realize that Christmas only happens on Sundays once every six or
seven years. So the provision you had agreed to with only having
worship on Sunday means you can't have a Christmas service.
So we said, let's go back to the community and explain the
changes we're making, because what we didn't want to happen was, at
the first Planning Commission meeting, be accused of a bait and
switch. So we went back and had the second neighborhood
information meeting to explain the changes in the access and any other
changes that related to hours of operation that had been previously
included.

Packet Pg. 61 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 63
For instance, there was a prohibition from having Bible studies
during the day and things like that. So we -- yeah, they weren't
allowed to do anything during the day. So I said, let's go back and
explain how churches really work. They're not experienced in this
process and I said, I know you're going to have pastoral counseling and
things like that that happen during the day. That's prohibited. So we
went back and made those minor changes.
That's the only changes that occurred. We've never increased the
size of the church, that's not correct, between the first NIM and the
second NIM. And we had the second NIM before we went back to the
Planning Commission.
So I just want that to be clear that, yes, there were some changes
and we clarified the hours of operation during the day and clarified that
we can actually have worship services on other days other than on
Sunday.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor, it's 10:55.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. You know what, I have
questions, and -- but we have a lot of things going on. So I'm going to
bow to you, sir. I can hold my questions, but I would like them
answered before --
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I'd like to - I was just pointing out that
we're now past the 10:45 time-certain. If you have comments, I'd say
let's get it done now, if our court reporter's still okay, so that we can get
through this item and then we'll start with our time-certain after our
10-minute break.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I guess what I read in the traffic
engineering is -- the report is that you are estimating 12 trips per day?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Twelve peak-hour trips during the week,
not Sundays. Obviously Sunday is a different time period.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right.
MR. YOVANOVICH: But 12 peak-hour trips, and we've limited
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 62 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 64
ourselves to 12 peak-hour trips -- p.m. peak-hour trips during the
week.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. So that's what, four to --
what?
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's basically -- we're not even open
between 4 -- 4 and 6, so we're not even open during the peak. So these
trips that we've agreed to cap ourselves on, we're not even open, but
that's what your normal ITE manual would say, a church generates 12
p.m. peak-hour trips, so we included that as a prohibition. And we're
not open during the a.m. peak, and we're not open during the p.m. peak
so that we don't interfere with people's going to work, coming home
from work. So we did limit the hours of operation that way during the
week.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I think that's precisely --
you made my point. You limited yourselves to what I consider, given
the success and the importance of the vibrancy of this church, to an
impossible standard to achieve, but you're not open, so you've achieved
it.
What I'm concerned about is the Bible studies. What I am
concerned about is the activity of a church. I mean, this is a fabulous
church. It's a very vital and growing church, and it should be. It just
shouldn't be here. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any other questions? Commissioner
Saunders.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a quick comment.
Obviously, we're going to -- as the community continues to grow,
there's going to be more churches that are going to come before us.
And I'm looking at this location and these conditions, and I'm not so
sure we could find a better location for a church.
You're going to have one -- I know Mr. Yovanovich is involved
in one in the Grey Oaks area, or the Oaks, I'm sorry, the Oaks
8.A.3

subdivision --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Oaks.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: -- where they're going to be
looking for a conditional use. That's embedded in the heart of a
community. This is at the intersection of two major roads. So I'm not
sure, if we don't approve this, where you can do churches other than,
perhaps, at the commercial centers, and, you know, the major
intersections that are already activity centers. Those might be the only
locations left.
So I just throw that out. I'm not sure why this would not be a
good location for a church, and if it's not a good location, I'm not sure
where a church would go in this community.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. Is there a motion?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll just -- not a motion yet. I just
want to say, I felt that being on the corner and not down the street
would not be as much of an impediment as, you know, being right
there and can get in and out, and they don't travel through the
community at all because there's no reason to travel. There's nothing at
either end of anything. So I wanted to insert that.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Can I obtain a motion to approve with the
conditions from the Planning Commission?
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: If I might ask Mr. McDaniel a
question. You had said something about referring this back to the
planning board. I'm not sure why we would do that. What was your
rationale for that?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Twofold. Number one, the
notice process from the original application to the second process -- to
the second public notice -- and Mr. Yovanovich and I have already
gone round on this -- I feel was deficient, one.
The public that is impacted by this is greater than the 300-foot
notification requisites within the current GMP amendment -- or the
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 64 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 66
GMP for Golden Gate Estates. We're impacting everybody to the east
and everybody to the south on Weber, this particular use.
I can't say -- there's hardly -- I concur with you, Commissioner
Saunders, that there's hardly a better location for a church. It's just I
feel the public-notice process is sorely deficient, and --
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, could I ask
another -- one more question of the petitioner?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Were you finished?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, I'm done.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: On Weber, obviously, there
are going to be some folks that are going to -- I think you said 20
percent are going to take the right-hand turn onto Weber hitting south.
Now, if you're on Weber, how do you get back -- can you get back to
951, or do you have to go back up to --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You've got to go all the way
south on Weber to White and/or jump on First and go out around and
come out at the light over at Max Hasse.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So it's not a particularly
convenient way to get back onto 951, or is it a convenient way?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Weber South -- depending on
which way you're going. If you want to go north on 951, it's a trick
because you've got to go two miles south down to White Boulevard, or
you come around to First and you go over through the park and out at
the light onto Golden Gate Boulevard, or you go on down -- as they've
shown on the map, go on down to Golden Gate Boulevard and do a
U-turn.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And then one other question
for the petitioner. Where do your parishioners -- for the most part,
where do they live?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We have a fair number that live out in
Golden Gate Estates. That's one of the reasons this site made sense.
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 65 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)
November 13, 2018
Page 67
So, you know, that's -- it's a good location because we have people
living in that general vicinity; not everyone, obviously, but we have a
fair number of members that live out in that area.
And I'm not -- I don't mean to be argumentative with
Commissioner McDaniel about the notice process. I really do feel like
at the second NIM -- there were more than 30 people at that NIM,
which is a large number, including Mr. Ramsey was at the NIM, so I
know the word got out at the second NIM.
And if you went back and watched the discussion and
thoroughness in which this Planning Commission discussed all of
these issues and beat up this piece of property on whether it was
appropriate or not with the conditions, I think that we did address that.
Now, I understand -- and I bet you that if you were to ask Jamie
to come back up here, it would be amplified -- outdoor amplified
music or amplified music as a whole that's been your issues with
churches.
Obviously, indoor amplified music, I think we should be allowed
to do. It's going to be a brand new building. I just don't think it will be
a problem. But if it's going to be a real problem with outdoor
amplified music, we don't want to see the church go down because we
could potentially have special events that would allow amplified
music.
So if you wanted to put a prohibition on that, and after we've
proved ourselves as a good neighbor, we could come back and ask for
an amendment to the conditional use at that point if we ever felt it was
vital to have special events with amplified music. You know, I would
suggest that perhaps that would be a reasonable compromise to address
noise-level issues with the community.
And I hope that that -- and that's what I heard was basically
mainly noise and traffic. And I don't really think a lot of people are
going to come down Weber to try to go back to wherever they're
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 66 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)

Page 68
coming from. It's just not a convenient way to go.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: They're going to go in on First.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I mean, come down to First --
they'd have to come down Weber to First, but if you want to go back
west and north, you're not going to do that. You're going to mostly go
east on Golden Gate and do your U-turn.
So I hope we can get there without having to go back to the
Planning Commission, because I don't know that another lengthy
debate there is going to change much of the outcome.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. Our court reporter --
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm going to make a motion so
we'll get through this here real fast, but I want to ask a question of the
County Attorney.
8A is a conditional use that I think requires three votes; is that
correct?
MR. KLATZKOW: Four votes.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It requires four. And then how
about 9A?
MR. KLATZKOW: Four votes.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Supermajority.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm going to make a motion to
approve 8A --
MR. KLATZKOW: Before you make your motion, does anyone
want to hear from staff or have a question for staff?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have one question of staff
with regard -- and this is for Mr. Bosi. Is this particular site a
designated activity center?
MR. BOSI: This is not a designated activity center.

MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And I have a quick question --
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: -- of the petitioner, if you don't
mind.
And I know you're here. I mean, I'm answering my own question,
but I'm going to ask you anyway just to get it on the record. Is there
any problem of waiting until the Golden Gate Estates Master Plan is
completed before you come back to us?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, first of all, the answer -- short
answer is yes because, you know, we don't know when that process is
ever going to get completed.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And what you've got proposed right now
isn't going to allow for churches to occur on this piece of property in
the first place, because you don't do site-specific planning through your
comprehensive planning process. That's why you have these
small-scale Comp Plan amendments coming through in the first place
is because you're not looking at the specifics, and that's why I'm saying
you're not going to get there because you're not doing that type of
planning anyway. You're looking at a much bigger scale.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. Thank you, Commissioners.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I'm going to
make a motion to approve the petition, Items 8A and 9A, with an
additional condition, and that condition is that there's no amplified
outdoor music and if there's a -- obviously, if there's a problem with
too much noise coming from inside, that will be an issue to deal with.
So I'll make that motion.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is that your second?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, I will second it. And I just have
to say it's been very difficult because, you know, we've got a
8.A.3
Packet Pg. 68 Attachment: BCC Minutes 11132018 R (7820 : CU PL20160002577 Grace Romanian Church)

commissioner here who lives in the area, and we -- and we really
appreciate all that he offers to this group, as well we've got a planning
commissioner that lives right down the street from it and he's -- you
know, so we have to go against the people that we work with, and you
hate to do that but, on the other hand, to be perfectly fair -- and I think
a lot of times we forget about being fair, and in this case that is a fair
thing.
And as long as it's not something that's down the street or it's a
huge thing, they have complied with all of the things that we've asked;
I like the insertion that we don't have any amplified music,
Commissioner Saunders. So I will second that motion.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. Any other
discussion?
No response.)

two churches that have come forward in front of the Planning
Commission on major intersections have failed 3-2. I don't know what
to tell churches that want to come to Collier County to do.

We're on to our time-certain that's, unfortunately, not that certain.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Before we go on to our next
item, I would like to have a discussion, or I'd like to make a motion for
reconsideration on our last vote. I would like to -- I would like for us
to give consideration to continuing this item and referring it back to the
Planning Commission just to give an opportunity for greater public
knowledge or greater public information with regard to the use.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll second his motion if you'd like --
if you need a second.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, I think it does need a
second if we want to have a reconsideration of it.
I'm having difficulty with the entire process, as I've said along -- I
have an enormous amount of faith in the chairman of our Planning
Commission, who lives in Golden Gate Estates. I have an enormous
amount of faith in the folks that live in Eastern Collier County and
Golden Gate Estates.
I just -- I'm troubled with the lack of public notice and the current
limitation of the GMP for Golden Gate Estates, so...
COMMISSIONER FIALA: You know, I have to chime in with
what Commissioner Bill says, and that is, notification, when it only
goes out to 500 feet and the 500 feet is across the street, and you've
already taken all the 500 feet, so I agree.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I was told it was a thousand that it was

sent out to. Anyway.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, on the motion,
obviously I made the motion to approve the church, so I'm not going to
object to reconsideration. But in the interest of the shortness of human
life, I have a question for Mr. McDaniel. You know, this will come
back at our next meeting. We'll vote on the motion to reconsider, and
the thing it will -- you know, we'll send it out and have more notices,
but we're going to come back with the exact same facts. And so I
guess I just ask that, you know, if this is a motion to reconsider
because you may ultimately reconsider your vote, then, you know, I
support that. But if it's just because we want to get more notice out
and we're going to have the same result -- that's all. I'm just saying I'm
supporting your motion, but hopefully it's not just to get more notice
out and come back with the exact same facts.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: There were -- in all candor, I
may reconsider my vote. There were original stipulations that were
asked for by the -- our chairman of the Planning Commission with
regard to protection for traffic concerns on Weber, limitations on hours
of operation, and those sort of things that I don't think are particularly a
portion of this current application. So I can't say I'm going to change
my vote. I just --
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: There is that potential?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: There is the potential there. I --
as you can tell, I am seldom torn on decisions, but this is one where I'm
having a difficult time.
And I've received an enormous amount of concerns from our
residents, not just in close proximity but all of Eastern Golden Gate
Estates being -- you know, if Vanderbilt Beach Road were already
constructed and there were another access point, I think I would have
less concern with regard to the intensity of this use in relationship to a
residential use. But it's not, so it's -- you know, it's a fact of our life.

CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The restrictions you were talking about
were the times of operation during the week? Because that's what I
thought changed.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I mean, to have --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It was --
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: To build a church that you can't use during
the week just seems to me to be --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And I concur with that. You
know, certainly there should be allowable uses that are there, and I do
want to say, you know, there are more good things coming from a
church than just the AA meetings. I mean, you know, there are scout
meetings and there are military meetings and there are weight-loss
meetings, and there are other things that come that are of value to a
community. But at the end of the day, this is a residential-zoned piece
of property, and it's impacting a far larger area than that that is
currently required per the Golden Gate Estates Master Plan, period.
And that's where I'm -- that's where --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I admire that you have such an open
mind.
MR. KLATZKOW: Is the thought to bring it back to the
Planning Commission to go over additional limitations for the use
since this is a conditional use and then bring it back here, or is the
thought to bring it back here directly?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Take it to the Planning -- I'd
like it to go back to the Planning Commission for a re-discussion,
revisit as for -- as for the conditions and stipulations that are in the
current conditional-use request.
MR. KLATZKOW: Okay. I'm just trying to get clarity as to
what we're doing. So the vote is that we would ask the Planning
Commission to look at it again --

COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes.
MR. KLATZKOW: -- see if they can tighten, you know,
somewhat the uses to make it more compatible with the community,
and then bring it back.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: We have a little bit of a
procedural issue here. So what I'm going to ask the County Attorney
is, we voted to deny these petitions on a 3-2 vote. Can we withdraw
that vote so that we still have a live petition? Because right now the
petition's been denied.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Technically, that's correct, yes.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And so I know in some
procedures you can actually make a motion to withdraw that vote to
re-establish the fact that we have live petitions in front of us;
otherwise, we have a reconsideration ordinance that requires it to come
back to us.
MR. KLATZKOW: The reconsideration ordinance really doesn't
contemplate sending anything back to a planning commission, so we're
trying to skate around the issue. If the Board wants to simply vote to
retract the decision and send it back to the Planning Commission, you
can do that.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll make that motion then.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, there was already -- there was
already a motion and a second.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Procedurally we have to do
what Commissioner Saunders has said. So I'll withdraw my original
motion -- we're getting to the same place.

CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes. We should let the applicant say
something.
MS. WEAVER: I just want to put on the record that we had our

the issue of infill is going to come forward as land becomes more

their urban area, we are going to be faced with this again and again.

Project Description
The subject project is a proposed institutional facility located in the southeast corner of Collier
Boulevard (CR 951) and Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) intersection. The subject parcel has a
total area of approximately 6.25 acres and lies within Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 26
East, Collier County, Florida. This parcel is partially vacant land with one single-family residential
structure (ref. Fig. 1 – Project Location Map and Appendix A: Project Master Site Plan).
Fig. 1 – Project Location Map
As illustrated in the Master Site Plan, the conditional use zoning application proposes to allow
development for 24,000 square feet (sf) multi-purpose church related building, accessory
recreation area and accessory structures (up to 3,500 sf pastor’s residence and up to 1,800 sf
storage sheds).
For purposes of this evaluation, the project build-out year is assumed to be consistent with the
Collier County 2023 planning horizon.

The project provides a highest and best use scenario with respect to the project’s proposed trip
generation.
Consistent with the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) provisions for church uses, the
accessory recreation area and structures are considered passive incidental to the church land
use and are not included in the trip generation analysis. In addition, the traffic associated with
the existing residence on site is part of the background traffic. As such, no traffic impacts are
expected due to the proposed pastor’s residence use.
The development program is illustrated in Table 1.

Development Program
Development ITE Land Use ITE Land Use
Code Total Size
Proposed Conditions Church 560 24,000 sf (300 seats)*
Note(s): *Size and seating capacity for sanctuary; sf – square feet.
A methodology meeting was held with the Collier County Transportation Planning staff on April
26, 2017, via email (refer to Appendix B: Initial Meeting Checklist).
Connections to the subject site are proposed to be provided via one existing right-in/right-out
access on eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard.
Trip Generation
The project’s site trip generation is based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition (most
current version). The software program OTISS (Online Traffic Impact Study Software, most
current version is used to create the raw unadjusted trip generation for the project. The ITE
rates are used for the trip generation calculations. The ITE – OTISS trip generation calculation
worksheets are provided in Appendix C: Trip Generation Calculations ITE 10th Edition.
Based on ITE recommendations and consistent with Collier County TIS Guidelines and
Procedures, the internal capture and pass-by trips are not considered for this project.
The estimated project average weekday trip generation is illustrated in Table 2A.

Table 2A
Trip Generation (Proposed Conditions) – Average Weekday
Note(s): (1) Sanctuary; sf – square feet.
In agreement with the Collier County TIS Guidelines and Procedures, significantly impacted
roadways are identified based on the proposed project highest peak hour trip generation (net
new external traffic) and consistent with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Based on
the information contained in Collier County 2017 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR),
the peak hour for adjacent roadway network is PM.
For the purpose of this analysis, the surrounding roadway network concurrency analysis is
analyzed based on projected PM peak hour traffic as illustrated in Table 2A.
The site access turn lane analysis is based on the projected higher traffic generator for LUC 560
- Church: AM and PM peak hour average weekday compared to Sunday peak hour of generator.
In addition, a Sunday peak hour of generator trip generation comparison is provided between
two variables: Gross Floor Area (GFA) and the number of seats. For the LUC 560 – Sunday peak
hour of generator, the GFA variable is the conservative estimate of the two trip generations and
it is used for the operational analysis purposes. As illustrated in the ITE LUC 560 – Additional
Data, the Sunday peak hour varies between 9.00AM and 1.00 PM. The estimated Sunday peak
hour trip generation is illustrated in Table 2B.

Background Traffic
Average background traffic growth rates were estimated for the segments of the roadway
network in the study area using the Collier County Transportation Planning Staff guidance of a
minimum 2% growth rate, or the historical growth rate from annual peak hour, peak direction
traffic volume (estimated from 2008 through 2017), whichever is greater.
Another way to derive the background traffic is to use the 2017 AUIR volume plus the trip bank
volume. Table 4, Background Traffic without Project, illustrates the application of projected
growth rates to generate the projected background (without project) peak hour peak direction
traffic volume for the future horizon year 2023.

The existing roadway conditions are extracted from the 2017 Annual Update and Inventory
Report (AUIR) and the project roadway conditions are based on the current Collier County 5-
Year Work Program. Roadway improvements that are currently under construction or are
scheduled to be constructed within the five year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) or
Capital Improvement program (CIP) are considered to be committed improvements. Collier

Project Impacts to Area Roadway Network-Link Analysis
The Collier County Transportation Planning Services developed Level of Service (LOS) volumes
for the roadway links impacted by the project, which were evaluated to determine the project
impacts to the area roadway network in the future. The Collier County Transportation Planning
Services guidelines have determined that a project will be considered to have a significant and
adverse impact if both the percentage volume capacity exceeds 2% of the capacity for the link
directly accessed by the project and for the link adjacent to the link directly accessed by the
project; 3% for other subsequent links and if the roadway is projected to operate below the
adopted LOS standard.
Based on these criteria, this project does not create any significant and adverse impacts to the
area roadway network. None of the analyzed links are projected to operate below the adopted
LOS standard with or without the project at 2023 future build-out conditions. Table 6,
Roadway Link Level of Service illustrates the LOS impacts of the project on the roadway
network closest to the project.

Site Access Turn Lane Analysis
Connections to the subject site are proposed to be provided via one existing right-in/right-out
access on eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard. For details see Appendix A: Project Master Site
Plan.
Collier Boulevard (CR 951) is a 6-lane urban divided arterial under Collier County jurisdiction,
and has a posted legal speed of 45 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on FDOT Index 301,
design speed of 45 mph – urban conditions – the minimum turn lane length is 185 feet (which
includes a 50 foot taper) plus required queue.
Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) is a 4-lane urban divided arterial under Collier County
jurisdiction, and has a posted legal speed of 45 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on
FDOT Index 301, design speed of 45 mph – urban conditions – the minimum turn lane length is
185 feet (which includes a 50 foot taper) plus required queue.
Project access is typically evaluated for turn lane warrants based on the Collier County Right-of-
way Manual: (a) two-lane roadways – 40vph for right-turn lane/20vph for left-turn lane; and (b)
multi-lane divided roadways – right turn lanes shall always be provided: and (c) when new
median openings are permitted, they shall always include left-turn lanes.
Turn lane lengths required at build-out conditions are analyzed based on the number of turning
vehicles in an average one-minute period for right-turning movements, and two-minute period

for left-turning movements, within the peak hour traffic. The minimum queue length is 25 feet
and the queue/vehicle is 25 feet.
The estimated project trips at driveway locations are illustrated in Appendix D: Project Turning
Movements Exhibits.
Site Access – Eastbound Golden Gate Boulevard
A dedicated eastbound right-turn lane is warranted as the project meets the multi-lane criteria
and volume threshold. There is an existing right-turn lane approximately 260 feet long. The
proposed project is expected to generate 115 vph right-turning movements during the Sunday
peak hour of the generator. At the minimum, the turn lane should be 235 feet long (which
includes a minimum of 50 feet of storage). As such, the existing right-turn lane is adequate to
accommodate projected traffic at this location.
A detailed evaluation of applicable access points – turn lane requirements will be performed at
the time of site development permitting/platting when more specific development parameters
will be made available.
Improvement Analysis
Based on the link analysis and trip distribution, this project does not create any significant and
adverse impacts to the area roadway network. None of the analyzed links are projected to
operate below the adopted LOS standard with or without the project at 2023 future build-out
conditions. There is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed
development without adversely affecting adjacent roadway network level of service.
Based upon the results of turn lane analysis performed within this report, no turn lane
improvements are recommended at the project access on Golden Gate Boulevard. A detailed
evaluation of applicable access points – turn lane requirements will be performed at the time of
site development permitting/platting when more specific development parameters will be
made available.
Mitigation of Impact
The developer proposes to pay the appropriate Collier County Road Impact Fee as building
permits are issued for the project.

NIM Meeting Minutes (June 25, 2018)
A Neighborhood Information Meeting was held on Monday, June 25, 2018, at the Collier County - Estates Branch
Library, located at 1266 Golden Gate Blvd W., Naples, Florida, 34120. The following individuals, associated with
the review and presentation of the project, were present.
• Frederick Hood, Davidson Engineering
• Jessica Harrelson, Davidson Engineering
• Josh Fruth, Davidson Engineering
• Rich Yovanovich, Coleman, Yovanovich, Koester
• Sue Faulkner, Collier County
• James Sabo, Collier County
Frederick Hood started the meeting at 5:30 p.m. and used a PowerPoint presentation, reviewing the proposed
project and updates being requested since the May 3rd, 2018 CCPC hearing. The PowerPoint presentation is
attached hereto for reference.
Following the PowerPoint presentation, the following concerns were stated, and questions were asked:
1. What is the total property size? Is it 40 acres?
- Fred Hood replied that the project was 6.25-acres.
2. The storage shed was originally proposed at 1,000 sf. It is now updated 1,800?
- Fred Hood replied yes that the request for a storage shed was 1,800 sq ft.
**Inaudible response***
3. What types of special events are proposed? Any types of revivals, farmers markets? Concerns with events
generating additional traffic.
- Fred replied that 12-specicial events per year were being requested, but not certain on what those events
would be. He stated a farmer’s market is a type of special event that could be requested, but that church
isn’t certain on those events yet. Fred mentioned a temporary special use permit would be applied for and
reviewed by the County, and the standards of the application would need to be complied with.
4. If you have a Pastor’s Residence eventually, where will the special events be located on the site? If you have a
Pastor’s Residence there (points to site plan) and a 1,800 sq ft storage building there (points to site plan).
- Fred uses the site plan to demonstrate areas and replied that a special event could be held in the parking
lot. Fred also mentions that if a Pastor’s Residence and shed are not built, that area could be used, but Fred
mentions the area will not be lit at night. Fred also stated that the church is concentrated on building the
sanctuary.
Lauren Osborne, residing at 131 Weber Blvd, stood and spoke against the project for the below reasons. She
stated she was unable to attend the 5/3 CCPC meeting, but put letters in mailboxes making people in the
neighborhood aware of the project and encouraged those to write the County regarding the project (Sue
Faulkner).
- Lives 3 homes away from the proposed Grace Romanian Church site
- Concerns with proposed additional traffic from the church – “traffic nightmare”
- Concerns with proposed access point to the Church site
- Concerns with proposed/ potential traffic patterns and entrance to the Church
- Concerns with the closed median along Golden Gate Blvd/ Weber Blvd
- Concerns with current speeding of traffic along Weber Blvd- has children, husband is a state
trooper and has clocked cars traveling at 80mph along Weber
- Concerns with current litter/trash along Weber Blvd
- Concerns with current traffic along Weber, including school pick-up line (can’t access her driveway
at times from the long parent pick-up line to Big Cypress Elementary)
Sue Faulkner, then addresses the attendees to let them know that all letters, emails and correspondence she
received from the public were sent to the CCPC/BCC for consideration.
5. What is the time it will go back to the Planning Commission?
- Fred replied that dates have not been set yet, that the NIM meeting needed to be held first.
6. Concerns with traffic, entrances discussed amongst two attendees.
Patrick Miller, 210 Weber Blvd, addresses the audience regarding his concerns regarding the current traffic and
accesses. He stated that he pushed to have the Weber access eliminated and that would allow for only one-way
traffic along Weber. He also mentioned the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, and that Weber Blvd is
specifically prohibited from having any type traffic calming devices and that no one in the County can tell him why.
He said he spoke to Commissioners and individuals in the traffic department. He also stated that he would rather
have the church over a “RaceTrac” development (speaking to Lauren Osborne). Lauren responded she doesn’t want
any type of commercial businesses but that residential would be fine.
7. Has the Church researched, or done a study, on what the cost would be for an entrance along Collier Boulevard
over the canal?
- Fred replied that was a question at a previous NIM and was brought up briefly at the 5/3 Planning
Commission, with the Chairman of the Planning Commission, and brought up with review staff and found
that it was feasible.
8. It was only a matter of cost then?
- Fred replied that costs and the distance requirement to the Golden Gate Blvd intersection is an issue.
9. What types of special events are proposed? Can they have fairs, rides?
- Fred replied that there were no restrictions on the types of special events and that an application would
need to be submitted to the County to be permitted.
10. If special events are planned in the parking lot, like previously mentioned, where will people park? Attendee
spoke about concerns of people parking along the Weber Blvd ROW for special events.
- Fred replied that special events would not be church service hours.
- Josh Fruth then stated when the temporary use application is applied for, it would require a parking plan.
Attendee stated she is concerned with parking in the ROW during special events. She brings up if there is a
funeral, what happens if the parking is not sufficient?
11. John Kelly, 221 Weber Blvd, stated he did not want special events such as carnivals and revivals- asked if uses
can be limited. He asked if a prohibition could be added on these types of events.
- Rich Yovanovich, Attorney representing the Applicant, requested if there were any other types of events he
would like eliminated.
John Kelly replied carnivals and revival meetings are his main concern.
12. Attendee suggested that a law enforcement officer may be able to direct traffic off of Weber Blvd (compared
to other churches that have officers for services). Other attendees join conversation, speeding along Weber is
discussed.
Rich Yovanovich replied to law enforcement request, and that it may not be required unless there is a concern-
inaudible.
13. Michael Ramsey, President of the Golden Gate Area Civic Association, speaks to the attendees. He spoke about
other churches along Immokalee / Wilson. He suggested that Grace Romanian Church hire an off duty CCSO
for traffic control. He also discusses traffic distribution, Weber Blvd access.
14. Is there a chance of coming back and adding an exit on Collier Blvd? Is it financially possible for the Church?
Fred Hood replied that the Conditional Use would need to be updated to add an access point. Fred explained
that there were originally three access points – uses site plan to show them -1st Ave, Weber and Golden Gate
Blvd. He also explained an access on Collier Blvd would not meet the distance requirement, and that the
connection would have to be on the church’s property.
Josh Fruth addressed this question by stating it would not be possible due to spacing, compensating ROW, the
inability to construct on someone else’s property.
15. Does the County lose out on impact fees for a church versus single family homes?
Michael Ramsey and attendee replied that churches are not required to pay property taxes.
16. What will be cleared for the preserve area?
Fred replied native vegetation within the preserve would remain.
17. When will we be notified of the hearing dates?
Fred replied that the boards (hearing signs) would be updated, mailers would be sent out (within 1000 ft of the
property), an ad would be placed containing the new hearing dates.
Michael Ramsey also stated the hearings would be posted on the civic association’s website.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:08pm.

County.
She helped her two daughters raise
and care for their children and was a
friend to everyone. Rivas Hernandez
was a doting grandmother and aunt
who always had tacos ready for her kids
— young and old — when they visited
her.
Tabitha Campbell, a longtime family
friend of the Hernandezes, grew up with
one of Hernandez’s daughters, Daisy.
Campbell said Rivas Hernandez was like
a second mother to her.
“She always kept us grounded and fo-
cused,” Campbell said. “She was there
when people needed her. I’ve been try-
ing to be strong for them, but (her death)
is hard for me, too.”
Campbell said Rivas Hernandez’s
youngest son, Jesus, was with his mom
at the time of the crash.
The two had gone to Broward County
earlier in the day so she could co-sign on
a new car for her son.
Jesus was driving his new car in front
of his mom’s vehicle when he noticed
the Camry crossing over into his lane,
Campbell said.
The car was coming toward them at
full force, Campbell said Jesus recalled.
His instinct was to move out of the way,
and he couldn’t do anything to warn his
mom before the Camry crashed into her
car head-on.
“He saw it all through the rearview
mirror,” Campbell said.
Campbell said Rivas Hernandez’s
son tried getting her out of the car and
had to punch out a window to help her.
Jesus was his mother’s first respond-
er.
The Hernandez family is now trying
to recover from a painful loss while life
moves on.
The hospital and funeral bills have
piled up. Rivas Hernandez’s kids have
returned to work. Her two daughters
moved in together to support one anoth-
er through their grief and help to raise
their kids.
Daisy Hernandez sent Campbell a
text saying she had a dream about her
mom after her death. In the dream, Dai-
sy Hernandez tried to wake her kids and
get them ready for school, and she heard
her mom saying how beautiful the kids
looked sleeping and to give them a few
more minutes in bed.
“Daisy said she didn’t see her mom,
but she felt her and heard her,” Camp-
bell said. “She said she had a happy cry.”
Daisy Hernandez, 36, and Christina
Hernandez, 39, are single mothers with
six children between them.
The sisters are also supporting their
younger brother, Jesus Hernandez, 22,
whose guilt about the crash has devas-
tated him.
The trio’s other brother, Leobardo
Hernandez, 31, didn’t get to say goodbye
to his mom. He was arrested by Collier
County Sheriff’s deputies in March on
suspicion of violating his probation on a
battery charge.
The family has a large support net-
work, Campbell said, and they’re relying
on each other for help.
In the years before Rivas Hernandez
died, she became involved in her faith
and sought a closer relationship with
God. After the crash, Campbell and Dai-
sy Hernandez went to retrieve a purse
and other personal items from Hernan-
dez’s car. The front of the car was man-
gled, and there was still blood inside.
Campbell said Rivas Hernandez had
a Bible next to her in the car.
“Her death has been hard, but we’re
at peace knowing she’s in heaven be-
cause of the type of person she was,”
Campbell said. “She had the gates open
for her. She would have been more than
ready to take the place of her son. The
accident wasn’t meant for him; it was
meant for her. God takes the good ones,
and she was definitely a good one.”
A friend of the family set up a Go-
FundMe page to help cover funeral and
medical expenses. See https://www.go-
fundme.com/ memorialjuanarivas.

cupied by Public House in Creekside
Corners,” said Blake Gable, CEO of Bar-
ron Collier Cos., in a statement Friday.
At 1:30 p.m. Friday, the restaurant’s
website had not been updated with the
news and still included its hours and a
lineup of bands until June 30. By about
2 p.m., the website had been shut down
and now says, “server IP address could
not be found.”
Lee Blackston of England and his
band, the Ex-Bachelors, were supposed
to play a show Friday night at Public
House. Blackston and his Motown
band, with members from England, Se-
attle, New York, New Orleans and Nash-
ville, had been playing at Public House
once a week for about a year, he said.
“(Public House) had a band play last
night, so they must have just closed to-
day,” Blackston said. “I’m disappointed.
It was a good place and a nice venue.”
The phone number listed under Pub-
lic House’s contact information on its
website was not in service, and Public
House officials could not be reached to
comment.

experience $513 billion in lost wages a year
because of the stub-born pay
gap that persists between them and
their male peers, according to a new report
from the American As-
sociation of University Women.The
consequences of women earn-ing 80 cents on
average for every dollar brought home by
a man can affect nearly every aspect
of their lives, from the ability to pay
off college debt to their
decisions about having children to how financially
stable they are
when they ultimately retire.Women right
away from the first job are
earning less,” says Kim Churches, AAUW’
s CEO, who added
that women disproportionately accu-mulate more
student loan debt than their male peers. “So,
here you are sad-dled with more debt.
Now, you have a pay gap.
And it continues throughout your life. ...
That compounding goes all the
way through to retirement.”The wage
disparity begins to widen almost immediately,
with 20-year-old working women
tending to earn 90 cents for every dollar
paid to a male peer. But, by the
time they turn 54,women are earning 22
cents less on av-erage, according
to the AAUW report.That’s due in
part to new employers basing theirsalary
offers on what a
worker earned previously, leaving women at
a disadvantage and making it harder for them
to catch up. (Some states,
like California and Delaware,have
adopted laws prohibiting em-ployers for
asking
about salary histo-ry.)
New motherhood and fatherhood also weigh
differently on wages, with men more likely to
receive a pay raise once they
become a parent while women often
see their financial for-tunes falter
for reasons ranging from inflexible
schedules to needing time off to be their
children’
s primary care-giver.This old
Ozzie-and-Harriet model of what a family looks
like just doesn’t work in
modern workplaces, but sadly biases exist
whether they’re conscious or implicit ... in terms
of how we think
about childhood and parenthood,”Churches says. “We
should be doing a better job on
paid parental leave. We should be
doing more on flexible schedules ... which
can still
lead to great productivity.”The pay gap is
more stark for wom-en of color.
Latinas earned only 53 cents for every
dollar earned on aver-age by white men
last year, while black women earned
61 cents. Asian
women earned 85 percent.Among
the states, California had the slimmest
earnings gap, with wom-en being paid 89
cents for every dollar typically brought
home by a man,while Louisiana
fared the worse, with women earning just
69 percent of a
male colleague’s pay.Efforts are
underway to erase such
inequities, including working with employers and
industries to be more transparent about
what they pay and helping
women become stronger ad-vocates
within their workplaces. The AAUW has a goal
of training 10 million women how to
negotiate
for better
sal-aries.Women lose
