Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 26, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk. public hearing was opened to consider the adoption of an
Ordinance that would facilitate t;le retrieval of circulated library
materials.
County Manager C. William Norman explained that the Free Public
Library of Collier County is experiencing a major problem in that it
has been hampered in efforts to retrieve cfrculated books that are on
loan and have not been returned for various reasons. He safd that in
an effort to facilitate such retrieval of the library materials, which
represent some $6,000 at this point in time, the proposed Ordinance has
been drafted and that it is his rpcommc~dation that the Board adopt
same.
Pursuant to Mr. Norman explaining that he has been workfng with both
the County Attorney's office and Mr. Joder, County Librarian, in order
to develop the proposed Ordinance, and seeing that there were no registered
speakers who wished to address the matter, Commissioner Wimer moved,
seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimously, to close the
pUblic hearing.
Commissioner Pfstor moved, seconded by Commissioner Wfmer and carri~d
unan'n~us1y 5/0, that the Ordinance as numbered and entitled below be

. PUBLIC HEARING RE PETITION IZ-80-1-I IMMOKALEE AREA PLANNING
COMMISSION REQUESTING A BUFFER FOR COI1MERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY
LOCATED ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTIES . CONTINUED FOR
30 DAYS
Aprfl 15, 1980
Legal notice having been publlsncd In the Naples Daily News on
March 13, 1980 as evidenced by Affiduvit of Publication previously
filed with the Clerk, publIc hearing was opened to consider Petition
IZ-80-1-I, Immokalee Area PlannIng Commission, requesting a buffer
for commercial and industrial zoned property that abuts residential
property, same having been continued from April 1, 1980.
Zoning Director Jeffory Perry explained that staff was directed
at the November 27. 1980 BCC meeting to draft an amendment to the
Immoka1ee Area Zoning Ordinance No. 74-15 in order to provide for a
buffer and setback requirement for commercial and industrial properties
that abut residentially zoned pr'operty. He stated t1.dt pursuant. to that
direction the staff has developed the proposed amendment and that same is
consistent with the Coastal Area Planning District requirements; that it
is staff's recommendation to approve said amendment; and that on March 26.
.
1980 the IAPC voted unanin~usly to recommend denial of the subject amendment.
There was some discussion regurding the two recommendations and the fact that
Commissioner Brown stated that It is his understanding that the IAPC
wishes to workshop the matter rather than making a definitive recom-
mendation for denial at this time. Community Development Administrator
Terry Virta stated that he was not under that impression, and it was his
understanding that the IAPC is referring to a different matter and that
they have rejected the subject proposal altogether. During the discussion
of the proposed amendment several areas of question were brought to light.
including the apparent need for some sort of a "buffer" for separating the
different kinds of zoning; the need to have continUity between the IAPC
and the CApe's respective zoning regulations; the pOSSibility of resultant
"Non-conforming" lots that may occur if narrow lots are made to conform to
the proposed regulations and set aside certain amounts of footage for set-
backs and buffer areas; and. whether the IAPC objects to the proposed
amendment because of the requirements for buffers or because they feel
the setback requirements are excessive. Also discussed WaS the apparent

need for a clearer designiltlon ilS to where the responsibility will 11e
for the allowance of the required setbacks, in the event that an owner
wishes to have a parcel of land rezoned from Commercial or Industrial
to Residential and same land lies amidst presently zoned commercial or
industrial lands.
Pursuant to Mr. Normiln 5lJ(J(Jr~stl/lg the matter be referred to the IAPC
for their further review, Corrmfssioner Brown moved for continuance of the
public hearing for 30 days to allow the IAPC sufficient time to review the
matter and forward their findings to the BCC for action at the end of
that time. Commissioner Pistor seconded the motion and it carried
unanimously 5/0.
RESOLUTION NO. 80-8lA RE PETITION V-80-5-C GRANTING A nEAR YARD SETBACK
VARIANCE FOR PROPeRTY OWNED BY RANDY AND SANDY ACReS. LOCATED ON LOT 3
BLOCK 3, NAPLES TWIN LAKES - ADOPTED
Legal notice havin9 been rub I ished in the Naples Daily News on
March 30, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition V-80-5-C as filed
by Randy and Sandy Acres for a variar,.::e in a rear yard setback for property
located on Lot 3, Block 3, Nuples Twin Lakes.
Zoning Director Perry explained t:,at the Acres were found to be in
violation of the Zoning Ordinance because they have an above-the-ground
swimming pool and screen I:'ncl0511r(> 1l)c~tcd on their property, some 4lt feet
too close to the lot line, which is supposed to setback 10 feet. He said
the yard has an existing six foot fence around it and that said fence is
located on or near the lot line; the subject pool and enclosure was con-
structed in 1974 without benefit of a permit; and that when notified of
the violation, the Acres petitioned for the.subject variance of 4~ feet
rear yard setback.
There was a lengthy discusr,ion regarding the subject violation and
Mr. Perry stated that Mrs. Acres is present to answer any questions that
the Board may have.
Mrs. Acres stated that her rear yard was made smaller than planned
for because the contractor mistakenly constructed the house further back on
the lot than he was supposed to and that if the variance she is requesting

to move it to. She clarifi,~d ~,Is by saying that the remaining open
space in the yard is the siL,' of hl~r ,septlc tank, and because the pool
lies into the ground a fc\~ fcc t. s:,~ has been advised that she cannot
put it over the septic tank or rlrJlnfleld.
There were severa 1 qIIC', t.f 0'; broll'Jh t up by members of the Board. that
brought forth some cOllfu', ion and d i ffcl'ellces of opinion from several
members of the staff, arnol1'J Lite:,I' 'dcre whether or not a permit is required
for the installation of a 1.'iJrL<,:,]e above-the-ground pool; whether removing
the pool would remedy th(~ 5 i Lu,] L i Ii] and leave an enclosure that was in
compliance. and, whethcr rC:iluvinJ the '~nclosure would remedy the situation
and leave a pool that was in camp] ianca.
After a brief discussion n"J,]rdin~ the above referenced matters. and
hearing that there was no one who ~ILhed to address the matter, Commissioner
Brown moved to close the publ Ic h'~JriIl9. Corrrnissioner Wimer seconded the
motion which carried undllimclJsly.
Commissioner Brown mO'lcd to s"ant the variance to the Acres and that
Resolution No. 80-8lA re~.1rd In'] Pet 1 t ion V-80-6-C be adopted. Commissioner
Wimer seconded the motion.
During the discussion re'J'1rd in'] the motion and the requested variance,
Conmissioner Archer stated that he could not determine from the facts
presented today that there w~s ~ny real hardship and that he is reluctant
to grant a variance. CommIssioner Wimer offered the fact that the house in
question was built in the wroll'] place by mistake and not through the fault
of the petitioner as reason for a hardShip. County Attorney Pickworth
stated that he sees no legal criteria for a hardship.
Commissioner Archer pursued tha facts relative to the pool location. and
he noted that there are only a few inches between the screen enclosure, and
the pool j therefore, if the encloslJre is removed. the pool will still be in
violation of the setback requirement. Mr. Nonman stated that although he
is not sure, he doubts that a portable pool can be considered a penmanent
structure; therefore, it would not require a building permit. Mr. Perry
stated that the cost of the pool would be a determining factor and that if
it costs over $50, then. it would be required to have a building permit.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried with a 3/2 vote.
Commissioner Wenzel and Pistor opposed.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES RE LETHAL YELLOWING PROGRAM - APPROVED
County Manager Norman explained that since the meeting 4/8/80,
Gene Willett, along with representatives of the Agriculture Department
have met with the Lethal Yellowing Inoculation contractors, Walsh and
Shenefield, and developed a program that he feels is to be commended,
regarding the implementations of a procedure for the commencing of the
Emergency Lethal Yellowing program in Collier County.
Mr. Willett stated that the final report regarding the procedures for
the subject program has been distributed this morning, and is part of
the Executive Summary. He synopsized the contents of the report and
resultant recommendations and pointed out that the porposed procedures
are somewhat different than what has been proposed thus far, due to the
wide-spread publicity that the program has received and the large number of
homeowners that have already contracted with Walsh and Shenefield to
fnoculate their palms. Mr. Willett said that three things need to be
considered today as follows:
1. The establishment of the administrative procedure, as outlined
wfthin the Executive Summary.
2. The approval of the proposed rates as indicated within the
Executive Summary.
3. The authorization of a temporary position in the Agriculture
Department, for a Horticulture Technician.
/011'. Willett said that he is requesting that the proposal from Wd1sh
and Shenefield be approved today, as it is outlined within the Executive
Summary.
Mr. Willett stated that briefly, what will take place in all four
recommendations are approved, is that the contractors, will inoculate
as many trees as is possible prior to June 1, 1980 for $2.25 per tree;
this fee will be paid by the individual property owners directly to the
contractor. He said that at that time, the responsibility of inoculation
will be taken by the County and from that point any trees that will be
inoculated will be done so via purchase orders from the County; the
contractor will charge the County $2.25 per tree and the cost to the
property owner will be as follows:
1. Above the cost of $2.25 per tree that will be paid to the
constractor, there will be a charge of $2.00 per tree, thus,
the total per tree will be .$4.25.

2. Above the costs outlined in Number 1. there will be a base
price charged all property owners of $17.50 per property.
Mr. Willett stated that every effort.wil1 be made to inoculate as many
trees as possible prior to the June 1, 1980 cutoff date, on the part
of the contractor, and that on May 15, 1980 the Agriculture Agent will
mail notices to all owners of tr~es not yet inoculated explaining that
they have 10 days to do so, otherwise, the County will have the contractor
do the inoculations at the above referenced costs to the owners who fail
to comply,
After a brief discussion regarding how many trees are in question,
how many have and have not been inoculated and the like, Commissioner
Wimer moved to approve the aforementioned staff recommendations as
explained earlier by Mr. Willett, for the implementation of procedures
re the emergency lethal yellowing program in Collier County.
Commissioner Pistor seconded the motion and it carried unanimously 5/0~

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE REVIEWS AND OPINION AUDITS FOR FY PERIODS EN~ING
7/31178. 7/31179 & 3131/80 RE AMERICAN AMBULANCE AUTHORIZED - CLERK
DIRECTED TO RECOMMEND FIRM FOR ENGAGEMENT OF SAME
Deputy Clerk/Fiscal Officer Hali stated that after reviews with the
Clerk, County Manager, and the County Attorney, the Clerk is recorrmending
that the Iloilrd iluthorize Contract Compliance Reviews with American
Ambulance fOI' three periods as follows:
1. AU<JlIst 1, 1<J79 throuCjh March 31, 1980.
2. Americiln Ambulance FY ending July 31, 1979.
3. American Ambulance FY ending July 31, 1978, if needed.
(Completion of the contract compliance review performed
in pilrt by Holcher & Taylor, C.P.A. firm.)
Mr. Hall added that Financial Opinion Aud ,ts for the above referenced
periods of time are also being recommended, noting that it may be later
determined by the accounting firm and the County that a Financial Opinion
Audit for the latter time period ending July 31, 1978 is not required.
Mr, Hall stated that the Opinion Audits are required to be completed on'
an "accrual basis", consistent with the prior year, and therefore, there
is a need to have the Americiln Ambulance Fiscal Year ending in 1979 redone;
although, he added, this should be accomplished edsily, as the information
has already been compiled.
Mr. Hall concluded his recolTTTlendation lJy stating th"t he is requesting
the Goard to direct the Clerk to submit a recorrrnended firm for the above
engagement; prepare 11 detailed listing of the kind of work to be done; and,
submit an engagement letter to the Board for the Chairman's signature.
Corrmissioner Pistor moved to approve the above referenced Audits,
and Contract Compliance Reviews; and, that the Clerk be directed to submit
a reconmended fi rm along with a deta il ed engagement 1 etter for the
Chairman's signature, He stated that he wishes to go on record as stating
that while this matter is being r:onsidered he feels it would be in the best
interest of the County, if the County sets up a system, whereby the
County collects all the fees, and pays all the bills regarding AnFrican
Ambulance services and operations through the Clerk's office.
Commissioner Wimer asked for clarification of the motion and Commis-
sioner Pistor stated that only the recorrrnendations made by Mr. Hall regarding
audits. the compliance reviews, and the recorrrnendation of a firm and sub-
mi ttal of the engagement letter is to be considered as his motion,

COUNTY ATTORNEY AUTHORIZED TO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS ON BEHALF OF COUNTY'S
INTEREST REGARDING ANY LEGAL RAMIFICATION REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE
TRAFFORD PINES ESTATES' PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANT
County Manager Norman reported that on last Friday he received a
mailgram, dated April II, 1980 from Mr. Roger Dick who is the developer
of Trafford Pine Estates. lie said that Mr. Dick has indicated that he
has been threatened with the "turn-offlt of his electricity on April 17, 1980
if he did not pay his electric bill; the problem lies in the fact that
said electricity is used for the operation of the package sewage treatment
plant nt the Trnfford Pine Estates. Mr. Norman said that Mr, Dick has
indicated that he has exhausted all his resources and, because he has
been unable to collect monies due for sewer services furnished because of
Inmokalee Utflities Corp.'s failure to flJ1fill their terns of a contract
with Mr. Dick regarding the collection of said sewer bills, he is requesting
that the County assist him financially and subsidize the operation of the
subject treatment plant.
Mr. Nor~~n stated that the reason Mr. Dick believes he can call on
the County to aid him financially is because in 1971 the FmHA financed
improvements for the Trafford Pine Estates and, at that time, the BCC
adopted a Resolution whereby Collier County would guarantee the continued
operation of the SUbject plant.
r~r, Norman stated that the County has been in similar situations with
Mr. Dick and, after discussing the matter with the Health Dept., the DER,
and the FmIlA. has discovered th...t Mr. Dick is calling on the County to
subsidize the operation of the plant according to the Resolution adopted
in January of 1971. He said that he referred the matter to Mr. Pickworth,
the County Attorney, and he has addressed the matter and formed a legal
opinion as well as conveying same via letter to Mr. Dick, dated 4/14/80.
Conmissioner Wenzel asked Mr. Pickworth if the County was to sub-
sidize the operation of the plant, could the County put a lien on the
property and, thereby, have a recourse for collection of the monies
spent for the operation of the plant? Mr. Pickworth said that the County
would probably have to sue Mr. Dick for the monies spent in order to
retrieve any costs incurred.
Mr. Pickworth stated that the position he assumes regarding this
matter and as set forth in his letter to Mr. Dick, is that he does not
agree with the i nterpreta t i on of the word "guarantee". He sa i d that the
,-, ,..
-,-
-
..

Apri \ 1;'J1980
County is not in the bonding or the insurance business, and that the County
does not guarantee anything in that manner, regardless of what the FmHA
says. He stated that the County does not have the power to do so; and,
the matter of fact is that the situation is a result of the lack of

diligence regarding the management on the part of both Mr. Dick, and the
Immokalee Util ities' Board. He stated that the Immokalee Util Hies Corp.
has refused, for years, to uphold their commitment to "do the bill ing"
regarding the subject sewage treatment; as a result, Mr. Dick does not
collect monies for his treatment operations. .
Mr. Norman stated that as a result of the problem regarding the same
matter last January, the Immokalee Utilities Corp. did agree to begin
billinq for current accounts; however, Mr. Dick claims he has never
received some $10.000 in past bills. Mr. Norman added that part of the
agreement Mr. Dick has with Inmokalee Utilities stipulates that Immokalee
Utilities wfll enforce "non-payment" of these bills with a "shut-off" of
water service, which Immokalec Utilities does not feel they have the
legal right to do,
Upon being asked for what advice Mr. Pickworth is offering the
Board, by Chairman Wenzel, Mr, Pickworth stated that he advises the
Board to take the position that it is not the County's responsibility to
subsidize the plant operation for Mr. Dick and, that if litigation ensues,
he requests the authorization to take whatever legal steps are necessary
on behalf of the County's interest, to protect Collier County. He
concluded that it is his opinion that the responsible party is the
Immokalee Water and Sewer District Board.
Conrnissioner Wimer moved to authorize Mr. Pickworth to take any
necessary steps to protect the County in regards to the subject matter as
outlined in Mr. Pickworth's recommendation. Commissioner Pistor seconded
the motion and it carried unanimously 5/0.

A located on Golden Gate Parkway between 64th Street S.W. and 66th Street
S,W. She said the property is made up of 2 1/4 acres of land and is
situated on the north side of Golden Gate Parkway.
Ms, Zarzecki stated that the petition has been reviewed by all the
concerned County agencies in their areas and has been approved with the
following stipulations:
1. WMM - Detafled site drainage plans be submitted to
the County Engineer prior to the start of construction.
2, HEALTH OEPT, - Public Water required.
3. ENFD - Must comply with fire codes and hydrants.
Ms, Zarzecki stated that the staff has reviewed the sUbject petition
and recommended approval subject to the fol lowing additional stipulations
as follows:
1, Any expansion of builJing or parking areas requires site
plan approval,
2, All signs must be approved by the Zoning Director.
3, The PU shall expire one year after date of approval, unless
construction has commenced.
Ms. Zarzecki stated that the CAPC held their public hearing on
April 3. ]380 and recommended forwarding the subject petition with a
recommendatiun for approval subject to one additional stipulation as
fa 11 ows:
1. Site plan altered to show one egress point onto the
Parkway.
Commissioner Archer stated that he has received a petition with
approximately 90 signatures opposed to the subject Petition. He said that
the petition is signed by residents of Unit 29, Golden Gate Estates, and
that the opposing residents object to the CAPC recommending approval;
that they absolutely oppose the construction of a church by the Bethel
A.M.E. Church; and request denial of Petition PU-80-1C for the sake of
the residents in the area. (Petition on file with the Clerk.)
ConTnunity Development Administrator Terry Virta stated that he was
pre~ent at the CAPC meeting, and offered to answer any questions that
the members of the Board may have.
Commissioner Archer asked 1.It'. Virta to explain the various zoning
changes that have taken place of the subject property from the original
zoning to this point in time. Mr, Virta stated that he is not familiar
with the historical changes, rather he is only familiar with the present
zoning and that the subject property is zoned "E" Estates. Commissioner
Archer stated that he believes that originally the land was residential,
,-,
~

subsequently changed later to conmercial, and then back again to "E" Estates.
lie stated that in light of the problems that have been incurred In the
area of the subject property regarding provisional uses and non-conforming
uses such as the Mini Mall, the Skating Rink, etc., he thinks that by
allowing the continual approval for ~rovisiona1 uses in the area, at the
numbers accumulated in the past that are concentrated around the subject
property, the County is deteriorating the "residential use~ in fav~r of
conversion towards a "conmercial" area.
Mr, Virt.a explained that t.he Mall and the Skating Rink are non-
conforming uses allower under prior zoning, and do not fall into the
same category of provisional use as d0es the proposed church.
There was some discussion regarding the many provisional uses and
non-conforming uses that are located in the vicinity of the proposed
church, during which COITJnissioner Archer asked if the approval of all
the many such type of buildings was not, in effect, changing the area to
a conlllercial area, Mr. Virta replied negatively, stating again that the
church would be a provisional use, and not a conmercia1 venture, as is the
case of most of the other buildings coverd during the discussion, Com-
missioner Archer asked if it is the intention of the CAPC to convert the
entire strip of the parkway, relative to the area of the proposed church, .
into a single strip of conmercial ventures. Mr. Virta explained that the
stJff Jnd the CAPC leak Jt the c~itcriJ that a provisional use has to meet,
according to the present Zoning Ordinance, and that the proposed facility
meets the criteria; he said that if there is a problem with the over
abundance of this type of use in the subject area, then, there is a problem
with the Ordinance as it is written. He pointed out that the staff and the
CAPC is "fixed focused" as to how to determine whether or not to l't"conmend
approval, based upon the Zoninrj Ol-dinance. In response to Commissioner
Archer, Mr. Virta said that he docs not feel anyone could deny the fact
that the County is allowing an ahundance of provisional uses for other
than residential purposes in this specific area, through a lack of
discretion in the Zoning Ordinance and, thereby, leaning away from the
originally intended and planned residen.tial use of the area. He said

the direction being leaned towards might be better described as "institu-
tiona1" use rather than "commercial" as Commissioner Archer has called it.
He said that it is his opinio/l that .no one could deny that the character
of the area has been altered through the abundance of these tyre of uses.
CommisJioner Archer rec,llled s~veral instances where the Board has
been directed to look into tip, Ordinance regarding the County allowing
several types of the provisio",ll uses in one area, and Mr. Virta said he
was /lot aware of this directi,"] bJt concurred that it should be looked
into, lie s,lid that he, perso"".,ly, is concerned with the ahundance of
provisional uses in the area but that does not alter the fact that the
!'
I
I
I
,
criteria of the present Zonin~ Ordinance has been met.
There was some discussion regarding c~rtain stipulations that were
made by the Hea 1 th Oepa rtmen t for the need for pub li c wa ter, and the
ENFD for conforming to the fin' code and for hydrants. Commissioner
Wimer asked if these type of stipulations have been placed on ot~er prp-
visional uses, specifically, other churches in the area. Mr. Norman stated
that he cannot see how they Cilll be met in 1 ight of the fact that there is
no existing Wolter supply from which the proposed site of the church could
be hooked up to in order to Llcilitate either drinking water or fire hydrants.
Mr, Pickworth stated that stalf should be directed to investigate the
matter and if the mentioned stipulations were illipasec, and could not be
met. and there were building pl~nnits issued to other P,U.'s then, he wants
to know why, Dr, Crew was din'cted to investigate the matter at this time,
and while awaiting his answer, Roger Simmons, representing the subject
Church addressed the Board.
Mr. S irrrnons s ta ted tha t the proposed site for a church is centrally
located for the members of the Church; appropriate sites are hard to
acquire and that this specific site meets all the requirements for the
Church's needs, He said that he hopes the BCC rules favorably regarding
their provisional use request; ,lnd that whatever the requirements are for
adequa te fi re prevent ion measun's, the Church wil 1 be gl ad to mee t them.
Mr. Si';llllons added that if the opposition to the provisional use for
a church is based on the fact that the congregation is black, and therefore
will be "degrading the neighborhood" as he felt was the reason, then he
I

I,;'
.....

']
J
April 15, 1980
hopes the members of the Board act favorably today, as he is black, but
he reminded the Board that he has served God, his country, and his fellow
man in every way a man can, and he added that he is proud to say that the
members of his church are about to celebrate the 193rd birthday anniversary
of the Church and is not representative of any "fly-by-night" organ; zat.ion.
In answer to the questions of the members of the Board re9arding other
provisional uses and their respective stipulations for construction,
Mr. Pick\~orth noted that when the Mental H('alth Clinic was approved, there
was no stiplllat~on from the Health Dopartment regarding public water; how-
ever, there was a more planned use for this kind of a building than the
proposed church building. lie said that what probably happened, is that
the Heal th Department lIses this as a sort of "shorthand" tYPl! of stipulation
because the Fire and Health Departments stipulation for the Mental Health
Clinic are long, and very clearly spelled out, rather than one line
stipulations. Mr, Norman suggested that in the future, the Community
Development Administrator be required to be more specific regarding the
stipulations, Ms. Zarzecki stated that "publ ic water" does not refer to
County water, sewage treatment systems, etc.; rather, it refers to having
a certain quality of water available from whatever source. Mr. Barksdale
stated that it is his understanding that if the water is to supply more
than 25 people, then it must meet the State Dept. of Health codes for
quality, safety, etc. Dr. Crew, Planning Director, stated that the fire
hydrant stipulation does not necessarily mean that fire hydrants must be
connected to water mains; as an example, there could be another source
of water storage on the site that would satisfy the requirement, and
Chief Billman of the East Naples Fire Department has said that he will ~e
glad to meet with the petitioner, and discuss exactly what they must have
in order to comply, lie said that in his research, he has discovered that
the "public water" requirement is applicable to all provisional uses,
and is therefore standard procedure, although as in the case of the fire
hydrant stipulation, has more than one way of being satisfied.
The following people spoke in opposition to the Petition:
1. Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, 2870 66th Street S.W.
2, Mr, Robert W. Johnson, 2870 66th Street S.w.

SOIL INVESTIGATION ~:ORK TO BE AWARDED TO SOUTHWEST SOILS TESTING
LABORATORY RE EAST NAPLES SEWER SERVICE AREA B; COST AUTHORIZED
FOR NOT MORE THAT $17,500; COMMENCEMENT OF INVESTIGATION APPROVED
Mr. Berzon, Utilities Director, stated that the Ccnsul{ants for
the East Naples Service Area B are involved with the detailed plan
preparation at this time and they are requesting that the soil investi-
gative work be authorized. He said that the Consultants did solicit
bids via telephone inquiries, and the lowest bid was from Southwest
Soils Testing Laboratory, and that the consultant is further requesting
appro':,ll to engage said firm for the soil testing in the amolmt of not
more than $17,500.
Regarding the necessity for the subject investigative work, Mr.
Serzon stated that same is required In order to allow for accurate bids
from the various firms for construction of the subject project, as they
will know exactly what type of soil s they ~lill encounter and can bid
accordingly,
There w~s some discussion regarding where the $17,500 is to come
from, during which Fiscal Officer Harold Hall stated that as it stands,
thl s wi 11 be a temporary advance from the General Fund, and the County
would expect that before the end of the year there will be a finance
plan developed that will show the terms for repayment of s.Jid monies.
In answer to Corrmissloner Archer, Mr. Berzon stated. that payment
COuld r.ct be mJ.dc bJc!~ to the General Fund until such time n~ r,()n!;t.rlJc-
tlon of the project has begun, or monies are borrowed against It. He
stated that the authority has been given for borrowing money for this
particular project. Commissioner Archer referred to a situation the
County faced in the past wi th the North Naples Sewer District and related
problems dealing with borrowing funds from the General Fund, and he asked
if this would be a compardble situation, Messrs. Hall and Berzon both
answered negatively.
~lr, Hall stated that al though the exact "dollars" are not "pinned
down", a program has been developed and a general plan outlined for
the subject funds, and that this is not 1 ike the situation mentioned
by Conrnissloner Archer, Mr. Pickworth stated that a M,S.T. has been
set up for this project and these problems will not be incurred. Ile
"
said the County will get one third of the money this year, and one
,
third of it will be paid each year thereafter.

Mr, Berzon clarified the matter by stating that to be specific,
the first advance does come from t~e General Fund; and the General Fund
will be repaid from the MST taxes collected in the coming yrar, Mr.
Holl stated at the end of this Fiscal Year, the County will know
exactly what "dollar amounts" are being considered and exactly how many
"dollars" wi 11 be paid back fur each of the years.
Commissioner Wimer asked "h', Berzon if the progress of the East
Naples project is slow; or, is it moving ahead at an aggressive pace?
Mr, Smallwood, Consultant for the project, stated that the project is
moving at a normal pace. He said that all aspects of the final design
will be finalized by September or October. Commissioner Wimer expressed
his feeling that perhaps it would be advisable to move ahead and let out
bids as soon as possible, especially in view of the economy today, and
Mr. Berzon stated that bid letting for the project is not feasible until
the first of next year.
Upon Mr, Smallwood giving an outline of the proposed stages of the
subject project and some discussion regarding various stages of the
same, Conmissioner Wimr moved to approve the recommendations of the
Consul ting Engineer as covered earl ier by r1r. Berzon. COlTVTlissioner
Brown seconded the motion and it carried unanimously 5/0.
AGREEMENT WITH MR. & MRS. HELMUT HITTINGER RE USE OF TRAVEL TRAILER

Mr. Helmut Hittinger, 2175 Wilson Boulevard, addressed the Board
with a petition for approval of the use of a travel trailer as a
temporary residence at the indicated address while he and his wife
supervise the construction of his permanent home. H~ stated that the
reason he wishes to do so is for security purposes, and was doing so
when the Zoning Department notified him same was against the Zoning Ordinance
and he is requesting permission to continue to stay in the travel trailer
for approximately 90 days time, which will be sufficient time to complete
his pe rma ne n t home.
There was some discussion regarding the fact that some Board members
thought that this type of temporary use was permissable, during which
Mr. Norman stated that there were no provisions for this in the residential

that if the Board allows the petitioner to do as he is requesting they
would be setting a dangerous precedent.
After a brief discussion regarding the need to protect ones home
from vandalism du.ing construction and several alternative time limits
being s~ggested, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer
and carried 4/1. that staff prepare the proper agreement that would
al10w the petitioner to remain in his travel trailer, for the period of
90 days, for the purpose of safeguarding his home while it is being con-
structed. Commissioner Pistor voted in opposition to the motion.

home, and the subsequent Board action, the staff was directed by
Chairman Wenzel to look into the matter of making some provisions whereby
same use would be allowable in remote areas of the County where vandalism
is so widespread. He asked ~Iat the results of this study be brought

STATUS REPORT RE WILLOUGHBY ACRES WATER/SEWER IMPROVEMENT; CONCEPT OF
TYPE OF LOAN EXPLAINED BY UTILITY DIRECTOR RE REDUCING INTERIM FINANC-
ING APPROVED; AGRW1ENT AUTIIORIZED UPON APPROVAL OF TERMS BY FMHA,
COUNTY ATTORNEY, UTILITY DIRECTOR, FISCAL OFFICER, & FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
Utility Director Berzon stated he was notified on April 10, 1980,
that the bond validation has been finalized for the Willoughby Acres
Water/Sewer Improvements.
He reported that when he prepared the Executive Summary, he was in
hopes that a loan of up to $2,850,000 could be obtained from a commercial
lending institution and that same monies could have been "put out on loan"
so as to reduce the interim financing cost through arbitrage; however,
this plan has been somewhat hampered by the FmHA, who recently notified
him that they were not in favor of this type of arrangement.
He said that what he is asking the Board for today is to decide
whether or not they wish to approve this type of commercial loan for the
aformentioned sum of money if the FmHA would be agreeable, and subject to

word has been forthcoming at this point in time from the FmHA.

moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, 5/0, to
approve the concept cf the type of loan that the Utility Director has
previously explained for the purpose of reducing the interim financing
for the Willoughby Acres Water/Sewer Project and that said agreement be

STATUS REPORT RE COUNTY WATER SUPPLY, TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
PRESENTED BY CONSULTANT SMALLWOOD: WORKSHOP SCHEDULED RE ALTERNATIVE
FINANCING FOR SAID PROJECT ON APRIL 22, 1980
Consultant Ted Smallwood, of CH2M Hill, presented the status report
regarding anticipated timetable, present status, and proposed sites for
various components of the County Water Supply, Treatment, and Distribution
system. He covered the various aspects of the subject system and the
relative plans for the $19,000,000 stage of development for same, pointing
out various stages of said project on two overhead drawings and maps.
Mr. Smallwood brought the Board up to date regarding developments
relative to the Capri System acquisition; the fact that the working schedule
for the entire County system is going according to the anticipated ability
of the City to 'accept the County's lines, as defined in the County/City
Agreement re same; and, Mr. Smallwood pointed out the proposed Regional
System boundaries, various existing systems and well fields that will be
incorporated in the Regional system, proposed treatment, pumping and re-pumping
facilities and the proposed core plant, well field and major transmission
facilities for the project.
Messrs. Berzon and Smallwood covered the alternatives for financing
the various stages of the proposed system; the effects that the various
alternatives will have on both the present and the future "users" of the

subject system; and, the recommendation to approve the concept of using a
combination of assessments and revenue bonds for the financing of same.
In answer to Commi5si,~ner Hilr.er. Mr. Smallwood explained that
regarding assessments, the method that will be used will include the
assessment of some Vilcant lands, in the anticipation of future use of the
subject system and said assessments will be based on the projected density
of certain lands according to the Comprehensive Plan. He said that after
determining the ar.ticipated density, each property will be pro-rated on
that density, and then the assessment will be reduced by the time that
will elapse prior to development.
Pursuant to various points of view being expressed regarding this
and other formulas for the financing. Chairman Wenzel noted that it is
his feeling that this matter should be discussed thoroughly, and that
prior to making any conceptual decisions regarding the financing of the
subject project he wishes it to be ~orkshopped. It was the consensus of
the members of the Board that the ~)tter be workshopped next Tuesday
afternoon, April 22, 1980.

COUNTY TO JOIN U. S. BREWERS ASSOCIATION IN "PITCIi-IN-POSITIVE LITTER
REDUCTION" PROGRAM
Commissioner Wimer, ha"ing as:':'ed for time on today's agenda for
the consideration of a County 0'~"lance re "bottle-return" program within
the County, stated that he has been contacted by a representative of the
U. S, Drewers Association regarding their "Pitch-In-Positive Litter Program",
and that he wishes to defer the consideration of said Ordinance in favor of
a voluntary program aimed at alleviating the pro~l@ms within the County with
litter from non-returnable bottles, cans. and the tops from cans. He
stated that if the end result Is accomplished through a joint effort on
the part of the industry and that of the citizens of the County then. he
will go along with this program rather than establishing a County Ordinance;
however, he realized that the answer will not lie on the County level alone,
rather, it will take a joint effort on the part of the City as well.
Mr. John Amick, representing the U. S. Brewers Association spoke on
the aforementioned program that this Association is backing, and concurred
~ti th Commissioner Wimer that the cooperation of the City of Naples is
important to the success of said program. He stated that his Association
is appreciative of Commissioner Wimer's intent, and that they will do
whatever they can to aid in attaining the same "end" as intended by Com-
missioner Wimer'. He said that the "ecological" tops for cans are available
and tne inoivin~al wnncsalcrs nave conracrea tneir brewer suppliers on
an inoiviouai oasis our ne cannot lIkli(l-' dllY fJrvlllis~s. n~ sdi<.i rll~ wuula
review the situation and report back to the Board within a reason~ble
time frame.
Mr. Stachiw, 2611 Estey Avenue, spoke in opposition to a voluntary
progt'am and supported the need for a mandatory law, that would el iminate
all non-returnable bottles and cans of soda, etc. from being sold in
Collier' County. He citeu the same type of legislation adopted state-wide
in Michigan and stated that there Is little problem with litter in this
state, as all the bottles and cans are picked up as soon as someone
dr'ops them and returned to the stores for the deposit. He referred to this
type of legislation as an "incentive" towards anti-littering and urged the
Con.nissioners to adopt such an Ordinance.

There was some discussion regarding the fact that there are presently
laws on the books that prohibit littering, and that one contributing
factor to the littering problem lS the lack of prosecution for offenders
of these l<:ws.
Commissioner Wimer ended the discussi0n by saying that he is still
willing to d(>fer any action pending the outcome of a voluntary program
towards anti-l ittering in Coll ier County, along with the "industry".
