regal notice having been published in the II11T.okalee Bulletin
on October 25, 1979 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publ icatlon previously
filed with the Clcrk, public hearing, having been continued from
November ?7, 1979. was opencd to consider Petition R-79-l3-I, Immok,llee
Area Plan,oin<] COfmission. This petition is a request for the rezoning
of Lots 2-6, Block 27, New Market Subdivision, from "I-MF-l" to "I-C-2".
Zoning Director Jcffory Pcrry stated that Planning Department staff -
is requestin<] that Petition be withdrawn.
Commissioncr Archer so moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, and
carr'led unanimuusly 5/0.
PETITION R-80-2-I, LABELLE BUILDING SUPPLY, REQUESTING REZONING FROM
"l-C-3" TO "I-I" OF LOTS 7,B,9 AND 10, BLOCK 1, AND All OF BLOCK 9,
EASTOVER SUBDIVISION - DENIED
Legal notice having been published in the Nlples Daily News on
May 9, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition R-BO-2-I, as
filed by LaBelle Building Supply, requesting a rezoning "I-C-3" to
"I-I" of Lots 7,8,9 and 10 of Block 1, and all of Block 9, Eastover
Subdivision.
Zoning Director Perry pointed out the location of the subject
property on an overhead map and explained that the petitioner is requesting
the subject zoning change to allow the construction of a concrete plant on
June 10, 1980
I
same property, located in Imnokalee, east of Jefferson Street and west
of 11th Street and lying on both sides of First Avenue South.
Mr. Perry said that the subject property is surrounded by "I-C-3"
zoning; is made up of approximately four acres; and, the existing land
use is "vacant". He explained that the existing "I-C-3" zoning is com-
mercial/light industrial; the Comprehensive land Use Plan prp.sently
designates the subject property as "Industrial Use", and that the staff
feels that the requested land use and zoning would be compatible with the
uses in the surrounding area.
Mr. Perry said that although no one appeared to speak in opposition
to the subject petition at the IAPC public hearing, the IAPC members
expressed concern as to the amount of dust that will be generated from
the proposed concrete plant and its effect on Main Street in Immokalee,
and IAPC's t'econmendation is for denial of the petition.
The exact location of the proposed site in relation to other
business ventures in Immokalee was discussed as well as how the dust
generated from the proposed rlant will affect these businesses. Mr.
Perry pointed out that any dust that is generated by the proposed plant
would be regulated by the Environmental Regulations of the State, and
the County.
Owen Luckey, Jr., Attorney representing LaBelle Building Supply,
stated that what the petitioner is proposing to do is to remove In
existing "Redy-mix" facility, located approximately four blocks from the
proposed site, and establish that same facility on the subject property.
He said that the area in which the present facility is operating is in-
consistent with the designated land use as set forth within the Com-
prehensive Land Use Plan; the proposed site is designated as compatible
to the proposed use within the Comprehensive Plan; and that if requested
rezoning is approved, all of the County's environmental regulations will
be complied with by the petitioner. He said that the petitioner is
prepared to work with the County in any way they can to eliminate the
environmental problems that may exist, pointing out that the proposed
pldnt is to be the same type of operation that presently is in operation,
therefore, the so called "problems with dust" will not be created by
establishing the proposed plant, or by approving the requested zoning.

Commissioner Brown stated that he feels that the problem lies within
the Comprehensive Plan, referring to the designated land use of the
subject area. He said that he feels it is a "degressing plan"; that
this type of use Is not optimum for the area located at the entrance to
the town of lmmokalee. The prevailing winds, which are southeasterly,
will cause the dust from such a proposed plant to go directly into town,
he said, adding that he does not think this use is "good planning" and
that he is or~osed to the Comprehensive Plan as it reads regarding this
s itua t i on.
Further discussion took place regarding the situation of the proposed
plant on the proposed site and Mr. Luckey said that the present location
of the plant is right in the middle of town; that it is not the optimum
place for such a plant; and, that the intent of the petitioner is to move
out farther, and be able to secure the proper means for containing dust
by making better use of more space at the new site.
~lr. Luckey stated that the petitioner has a similar plant located
illllllediati'ly adjacent; to an elementary school in La Belle, and that there
have bccn no environmental pro!Jlems in that location. He said that the
County is planning to build a health facility immediately adjacent to
the plant in La Belle, and that the petitioner has worked very hard with
the La Belle officials to maintain a minimal of environmental concerns.
In answer to Chairman Wenzel, Mr. Luckey said that he has received no
complaints from anyone in the lmmokalee area regarding such problems.
Commissioner Brown said that he is going to have to oppose the
subject petition, citing the defects in the Comprehensive Plan as one
of the reasons.
Following a discussion regarding the concerns of the IAPC as addressed
earl ier by ~lr. Perry, and their recommendation for denial, Commissioner
Brown moved, seconded by Co~nissioner Wimer and carried unanimously, to
close the public hearing.
Following Mr. Perry's explanation regarding the Community Development
Division's recent proposal to rezone certain lands in the area of the
subject property to "I ndustria I" and the subsequent withdrawal of tha t
June 10, 19BO
petition due to a great deal of opposition to that proposal, Commj~sjoner
Brown moved to deny Petition R-BO-2-I. Commissioner Wimer seconded the
motion which carried unanimously 5/0.

CREATION OF POSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATOR - CONTINUED TO 6/17/80
After the presentation of his request for the approval of the
creation of the position of Administrative Secretary for his Division,
Public Safety Administrator Thomas Hafner answered several questions
regarding the need for such a classification rather than one of Secretary
[I. After a lengthy discussion regarding the duties that will be part
of the subject employee's jOb description; the possibility of consolidation
of secretarial duties with other departments; and the apparent lack of
enough material presented in the Executive Summary to substantiate the
request, Commissioner Wimer suggested that Mr. Hafner prepare a more
detailed summary for consideration next week. Commissioners Archer and
Brown expressed their feeling that some sort of assistance is warranted
in the subject office to enable Mr. Hafner to operate efficiently, while
Chairman Wenzel expressed his belief that there is no need to employ more
people to accommodate Mr. Hafner and favors consolidation of secretarial
services as more appropriate. Commissioner Pistor said that he favors
hiring a lower classification of secretary, and if the need should arise
for more qualified assistance, then, the BCC could consider that at a
later time, and he also feels that the alternative of consolidation of
secretarial services may be appropriate.
Following the discussion regarding the subject Division as being
approved for creation on a trial basis; the possibility of additional
duties being relieved from Mr. Hafner's purview; and the possible need
for "1 ine item reconstruction" regarding the subject Division, Commissioner
Pisfor suggested that the matter be deferred until such time as the
County Manager has finalized the respective duties of the Public Safety
Administrator.
Commissioner Wimer moved to defer this matter until next week, at
which time he wishes to see a finalized Organizational Chart for Mr. Hafner's
Division. Commissioner Pistor seconded the motion and it carried unanimously,
5/0.

There was some discussion regarding a criticism that Commissioner
Wenzel reported receiving via telephone alleging that said firms \~ere
selected without interviewing other firms. Mr. Barksdale assured the
Chairman that such is not the case, and he reviewed the procedures that
the Board has undertaken over the last month or so, including the sub-
mission of subsequent review of several other proposals, prior to making
their ~election. In answer to Chairman Wenzel, Mr. Barksdale said that he
feels that the Board made their selection after properly reviewing the
proposals and that this matter has been made public, Chairm~n W~nz~l asked

several proposals were submitted to the Board for review regar~ing the
contract for a Financial Consultant.
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Conmissioner Pistor and carried
unanimously 5/0, that the Financial Consultant Agreement with the combined
firms previously selected by the Boar~ re the ninth cent gas tax road
construction bond issue, be authorized for the Chairman's signature.

STATUS REPORT RE FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS & RELATIVE COURT ORDERS
REGARDING IMMOKALEE CATV FRANCHISE GIVEN BY ATTORNEY PETER P. MURNAGHAN
REPRESENTHlG BANKRUPTCY INTERIM TRUSTEE ARTHUR GERSTL
Attorney Peter P. Murnaghan representing the interim Trustee, Arthur
Gerstl, in the Federal Bankruptcy proceedings in Connecticut, explained
that he is here in Florida for the purpose of identification, location
and seizure of pr'operty owned by John Peter Galanis; Jack Issacson;
Phoenix Communication Corporation and Lake Telecommunications. He said
that it is his understanding that the Immokalee Cable Television located
in Irnmakalee is ~i1e property of Mr. Galanis, or at least one of the
bankrupts. He added that there are numerous corporations involved with
this pdrticular bankrupt, and may include in excess of 10 or 20 different
corporations. He said that not all of these have been sued in bankruptcy,
but, all probably spring from the same individuals at the same addresses in
Connecticut.
Mr. Murnaghan said that he has located and reviewed the subject
property in Inmokalee, eX[1lained that he has Federal Court Orders that
do two things; first, the Trustee is now seiZing the property, through
Federal Marshals. later this week; and second, the order speaks directly
to the Collier County BCC in that the Trustee has basically elected to
stay any proceedings regarding not only the property but also the Franchise,
which is outstanding.
Mr. Murnaghan then referred to four Federal Court Orders, and said
that he intends to file them with the Clerk and will ask that the Clerk
make certified copies to be filed in this County and return the original
Orders to himself.
Mr. Murnaghan read the application and the Court Order into the
record, stating that he is doing so in order to allow the BCC to under-
stand the Trustee's position and in order to allow the Board to ask
questions of himself when finished.

*The following documents were read into recor;J:
1. Application for order directing debtor to turn over
property to Interim Trustee - dated May I, 1980.
2. Order requiring debtor to relinquish possession of
it's property to Interim Trustee - Dated June 3, 1980
*Filed with thc Clerk, were four sets of copies of the above referenced
documents directed ~rith thc following names and case numbers:
1. Phoenix Communications Corporation 5-80-00299
2. Jack Isaacson - 5-80-00300
3. Lake Telecommunications, Inc. - 5-80-00301
4. John P. Galanis - 5-80-00302
Chairman Wenzel asked what action f1r. 11urnaghan is requesting of
the Board? He asked him if he is requesting the Board not to revoke the
subject Franchise? /1r. Murnaghan said that he is not asking for any
action because, at this time, it is his understanding that the Board is
stayed from taking any action at all by the Federal Court.
Mr. Murnaghan said that they have attached the tangible property
and are attempting to attach the intangible Franchise rights as well.
Il~ said that the rcason for this is because a Franchise has property
value, and it is the duty of the Trustee to seek to protect any property
that the d?btor's cstate may have. He referred to the many.problems
that the Bec has had to deal with regarding the subject franchise including
the many reassignments; schedules not being kept; and the like. He said
that it is not the intention of the Trustee to in~erfere with the Com-
mission's work, and that the Trustee does not intend to assign the Franchise
without working very closely with the Board. He said that he understands that
the Board was in the process of revoking the subject Franchise an~ that what
the Trustee will probably do is sell the assets to a new purchaser and
then the BCC could then negotiate a new Franchise on its own, under its
own terms.
Chairman Wenzel asked again if there is any action required, or if
this is just a report and Mr. Murnaghan stated again that the BCC cannot
take any action, either at this meeting or at any subsequent meetings,
without the approval from the Federal Bankruptcy Court.

June 10, 1980
County Attorney Pickworth reminded the Board that they have only
heard Mr. Murnaghan's side of the report; that he is not sure he agrees
with all that Mr. Murnaghan has said; and that he will consider the
information brought forth today and discuss the matter further next week
during the 6/17/80 meeting.
Conndssloncr Plstor stated that he questions who is going to do the
"selling"; that he is concerned that this bankruptcy case could go on for
years; and, that his concern is with the people in Immokalee who are
still '.~aiting for good television reception. He said that the Board is
in favor of an expedient finalization of this matter in order to give
the Immokalee residents this service as soon as possible. He asked Mr.
Murnaghan what the Trustee's next move is going to be. He also said that
to his knowledge therc is only a matter of 2 months work or so before the
systcm would be ready for use in Immokalee and referred to the lengthy process
of bankruptcy proceedings as hampering the BCC's efforts to serve the people
of Immokalee in the proper manner. He said that the BCC has the right to
canccl the Franchise and see that a qualified person properly serves the
people in Immokalee; and, that he cannot see the BCC just "sitting here" and
further hurt thc people concerned because of financial difficulties of
someone else.
Mr. /1urnaghan s ta ted tha t he understands the Corrvni ss ioner' s concern
for the people in Immokalee, however, his job is to protect the creditors
in this bankruptcy case, one of which is the Chase Manhatten Bank, which
has lost millions of dollars. He said that he has viewed the subject
system; that some components have been "unlawfully removed"; and that it
is his opinion th0t it could not be put into service for months, and not
without encountcring great expense.
Regarding the time involved in the bankruptcy proceedings. he said
that it is not in the creditors nor the Trustee's best interest to stall
the proceedings and that they will be expedited to the best degree possible.
He added that although he can sympathize with the Corrvnissioner's concern,
his intent is to obtain title to the property; to then transfer title to
an appropriate buyer, who represents a viable and capable cable company;
and that he does not think the Chase Manhattan Bank will be pumping any funds
into the system.

He sa i d tha t the Trus tee will seek to work with the BCC in any way
possible, but, under the Court Orders as he reads them, if any action
towards the property is tilken at this time, it would be a "contempt" in
Federal Court. He said that as far as the "stay of administrative
proceedings" are concerned, that would have the same ~ffect.
r()nrniss !n1er Himcr said that rather than discuss this further, he
favors deferring the matter to the County Attorney and if he should
reconl~lend any action, then, the Board wfll be guided by its legal counsel.
Commissioner Pistor concurred and asked Mr. Pickworth to look into the
time frame regarding obtaining proper equipment and install ing same,
bccau"e as he sees it, it would not take months.
Attorney f'ickworth stated that he will have to study the matter of
the subject fran~hise regarding whether it is or is not exclusive; that
the County will take the position that it will do whatever is needed to
protect the interests of the people of Immokalee. He explained that if
the Inmokalee residents' interest is best protected by working with the
TrusteE] as alluded to by Mr. ~lurnaghan, then that will be the direction
taken. He added that if, after he studies the matter, it is decided tilat
the best way to protect those interests is to get involved in a challenge
to the purported orders, then, that may have to be entered into; however,
at this time, he is not sure of the direction that the County will have
to take regarding this matter and said that he has not had the time to
study the options thoroughly. He added that he did feel that it is not
in the best interest of those people in Immokalee for the County to sit back
and ~Ia i t until a lengthy bankruptcy proceeding is compl eted.
Mr. Murnaghan stated that he will file the Orders; ask that Mr.
PickvlOrth notify himself and the Trustee if any actions are taken by
the BCC; and that he wishes to make it clear that the Orders that he is
presenting are not to be considered as "purported" Orders, and that he
hopes the Board will act accordingly.
Mr. Varnadoe, Attorney for the Franchisee, was asked by Chairman
Wenzel if he had anything to add before closing the matter and Mr.
Varnadoe dnswered negatively, saying that the Bankruptcy Trustee has taken
over all the assets of the Immokalee CATV Franchise.

tional $93,000 in order to come up to the total figure of $1,790.000, which

the situation; and, that they are on record as saying that as of this
moment, they do not have the $93,000, but that they have every reason to
believe that they will get it. He clarified this by adding that he Is
speaking of "loan funds" and not grants or the like.

AL TERNATIVE AMENDNENTS TO ORDINAflCE 78-18 RE ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSI-
BILITIES OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN COUNTY TO BE DRAFTED BY COUNTY
ATTORNEY FOR CONSIDERATION 6/17/80
Commissioner Pistor brought forth the topic of an amended
Or-dinance that would modify Ordinance 78-18, which he feels is needed
ilS an "interim measure", while the finalization of the Charter Com-
missIon's selection 15 taking place. He added that Mayor Anderson
has submitted to him a proposed Ordinance with certain amendments that
he feels are in order.
He said that he would like to propose that the Board consider the
adoption of such an Ordinance that would modify Ordinance 78-18, along
the 11nes of those suggested by ~'ayor Anderson, with one exception.
He explained tnat he is in favor of inserting a section within the
proposed Ordinance that specifically gives the Board sole discretion
regarding the County ~1anager, the County Attorney, the Data Processing
Center and the Uti 1 ity Division. He wishes to have the proposed Ordinance
reflect that these four department heads be directly responsible to
tllP. Board of County Commi ss ioners.
Commissioner Wimer said that he is in basic agreement with "beefi:1g
up" Ol'dinancc 78-10, dnd suggested that the staff be directed to look
into the matter of drafting an appropriately amended Ordinance for presen-
tation. Commissioner Archer reminded the other members of the Board that
this will have to be advertised properly prior to making any final decision,
Mr, Pickworth said that in light of the fact that the Board is about to
take a lengthy vacation recess, he will redraft an Ordinance along the lines
of that which the Mayor has submitted, with the exception of certain sp.ctions
that he feels are not appropriate. and present it at next week's meeting;
and. after the Beard c~nsiders it, they may authorize the advertising for
a public hearing on the return of the Board from their vacation.
COMI1ITTEE APPOINTED TO SCREEN APPLICANTS RE CHARTER COMMISSION AND SUBMIT
THE NAl~ES OF 11 TO 15 PROPOSED MEMBERS TO THE BOARD - COUNTY ATTORNEY TO
RESEARCH SUNSHINE LAW RELATIVE TO SAME COM~IITTEE MEETINGS
Chairman Wenzel suggested that the following people be appointed to
a Screening Committee re applicants for the Charter Commission:
June 10, 1980
1. Lyle Richardson, Naples Civic Association
2. Gilbert Blanquart, Collier County Voter's League
3. James McLaughlin, Naples Chamber of Commerce
4. Current President or her designee, League of Women Voters
^fter a brief discussion, Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by
Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, that the above-referenced
people be appointed to the Screening Committee to select 11 to 15 names
of applicants that wish to be members of the Charter Commission, for
submission to the Board.
Chairman Wenzel askerl that these four appointed people review all
applicants and submit prospective members from all areas of Collier
County. Comnissivners Wimer, Pistor, and Brown, offered their interest in
sitting in 011 the scrpening process and County Attorney Pickworth stated
that he would recommend that the Committee wait to meet until such time as
he has investigated the meeting process of this Committee as it relates to
the "Sunshine Law".
Commissioner Wimer stated that his intent in suggesting the adoption
of a Charter for the five Commissioners is to give the Commissioners better
legislative and administrative powers and duties. He added that it is
not his intent to have the Charter interfere with the other Constitutional
Officers; nor the City of Naples. He said that the Charter is to be
relative to just the five Commissioners and is to be directe~ to the
benefit of all of Collier County. He asked that only this kind of
Charter be addressed, in order to facil itate Article 8, of the State
Constitution, which gives the people the powers of local self-government.
He said that any of the Commissioners who wish should be allowed to sit in
on the interviews, and stated that the only people that he intends to vote
for, to sit on the Charter Commission, will be those who share the same
philosophy that he has outlined.
^ttorney Pickworth said that he must emphasize the need to "hold off"
any discussion between the Committee persons and the Board until he has

researched the application of the "Sunshine Law" and Chairman Wenzel
asked Lyle Richardson to act as Chairman and to meet with Mr. Pickworth
regarding any applicable regulations rel/ltlve to Mr. Pickworth's concerns.
Mr. Richardson agreed.
County 11anager Norman said that the following three persons have
registered to speak on the subject of the Charter Commission and they were
called on to offer their respective comments:
Mr. Gil Blanquart offered his congratulations to the Board on their
decision to adopt a Charter Commission. He said that he is concerned
with the "collateral activity" just discussed by the Board, speCifically
the "be,.fing up" of Ordinance 78-1S. He suggested that the Board should
consider the past experience that the County has had with Charters that
were submitted to the electorate for their approv~1. They have not been
successful. said Mr. Blanquart, because the previous Charter Commission
attempted to accomplish too much at once by including all of the Constitu-
tional Officers. He said that another problem in the past is that the
Charter Commission's "product" was not "sold" to the public-at-large, con-
sequently, the uninformed voter placing his ballot, naturally, voted
against the subject.
- - ..-
f1r. Blanquart pointed out that he feels the Commissioners will "run'~di~~~~-
some risk" by revital izing Ordinance 78-18, in that the publ ic may feel
that it is sufficient; and, therefore, a Charter form of government is
not necessary. He suggested that rather than "revitalize" 78-lS, that
the Board use it in its present form for an "interim" period because it is
"usable" as it is written. He said that if the Board "beefs it up",
Ordinance 78-18 could become too strong to allow the people te feel that
a Charter is needed and this would be a "negative" move away from the
direction of the acceptance by the people for a Charter form of Government.
Commissioner Wimer said that while he understands what Mr. Blanquart
is saying, he would compare the "beefing up" of Ordinance 7S-18, to "putting
ones finger in a hole in a dike", and that it will not remove the basic
flaw from the present form of government of Coll ier County; it will not
June 10, 1980
facilitate the people's having the powers of local self government. He
said that he favors the education and u~derstanding of the people regarding
this matter and, thcr., there will be no problem having them 'accept Charter
Government at the polls.
Mr. Blanquart said that he feels that one reason that the Board
seems to want to amend Ordinance 78-18 is because they feel it will take
a lengthy time for the Charter Commission to prepare a Charter; he feels
that they will not be involved for 18 months, or so, as has been suggested
in the past. He referred to the former Charter Commission that was chaired
by Al West, and their final 10cument, and said that as he sees it, the new
Comnission can use this document and need only address those areas that
need correction, father than have to start at the beginning and have to
develop a new one, citing the enormous amounts of reseafch that has been
completed towards this document. He said that he sees no real need to
amend Ordinance 78-18.
Chairman Wp.nzel stated that if any of the members of the Screening
Committee wi sh to offer their own names as prospective members of the
COITll1ission, then, that would be acceptable to him. Mr. Blanquart
declined this offer, stating that he does not wish to serve in this
capacity, as he feels that some people consider him to have eafned a con-
troversial reputation, and that may have a negative reaction to the
acceptance of a Charter. He added that he is strongly in favor of a
Charter being accepted by the people, and he, for one, thinks that it may
not best serve this interest if he were to sit on the Commission, although
he said, he feels that he can contribute by sitting on the Screening
Comm it tee.
Mr. Lyle Richardson stated that as a representative of the Naples
Civic Association, he wishes to thank the Commission for their action this
morning, feferring to the adoption of Resolution 00-115, creating a
Charter Commission. He said that the move towafds better government is
appreciated, and that he and the Association will do everything that they
can to help the County Con~issioners in this effort.

of Commerce. he wishes to express thanks to the Commissioners for their
action this mornln~ referring to the adoption of Resolution 80-115, and

DISCUSSION REGARDING ESTABLISHING A MOBILE HOME DISTRICT It! THE COASTAL
AREA OF COLLIER COUNTY; COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR TO FURNISH
THE BOARD COPIES OF PALM BEACH COUNTY'S ORDINANCE RE SAME; TOPIC TO BE
DISCUSSEO FURTHER AT A LATER DATE
Community Development Administrator Terry Virta presented five
alternate methods by which the Board may decide to amend the pr0sent
Zoning Ordinan(e and allow fur the use of mobile homes as residences and/or
the r.reation of Mobile Home Districts or Subdivisions.
There was a discussion regarding a recently adopted Ordinance in
Palm B~ar.h County which allows for mobile homes as provisional uses under
certain restrictions and he outlined the eight restrictions for the
noard's consideration. Also discussed was the present use of a "point
system" for granting zoning changes; the problem of obtaining the required
amount of points if a developer wishes to ohtain a rezoning for a MHSD
in the outlying areas of the County versus one that is closer in; and where
the respor~ibilities of services would fall in the event that a MHSO of
this type were developed in an outlying area, away from the services
offered the areas closer In.
Another matter discussed was provisional use versus permitted use
for mobile homes as residences in certain areas and, after a brief discussion
regarding other related problems with these uses of mobile homes, it was
the consensus of the Board that they wished to be furnished with copies of
the recently adopted Palm Beach Ordinance, on which to base their considera-
tions. It was pointed out by Commissioner Archer that the Board will not
necessarily adopt an Ordinance 1 ike the Palm Beach Ordinance, rather, they
wil I use it as a basis for their considerations and that further changes
may be requested.
Other topics that were discussed briefly were the accrued point
system used to determine qualification for a rezoning in relation to
June 10, 1980
proposed mobile home subdivisions; th~ proposed rezoning in the Golden
Gate Estates area relative to the 701 study and the permitting of mobile
homes in that area; the amounts of acreage necessary for MHSD developments;
and relative matte~s regarding mobile home residences within Collier
County, bl"h in outlying areas, and closer in to town.
Commissioner Wimer suggested that there be a two-fold approach to
the problems of mobile homes as residential uses in Collier County; one
through provisional uses as in the Palm Beach County Ordinance; and
the other, through the amending of the MHSD regulations as they read
within the Zoning Ordinance with regards to points, etc.
