Naples Heritage Handout at March mtg 17A 6-25-19Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club 2019 Campus Expansion Project Honoring the Past The Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club (NHGCC) opened in 1997 and at the time was the fastest -selling community of its size in Collier County. The members were looking for and found in this community a casually elegant club to call their home. NHGCC offered state-of-the-art amenities including a championship golf course, six tennis courts, four pools, a fitness room, and a restaurant. The members took ownership of the club almost 20 years ago and never looked back. As time went by, the membership evolved into a community of close friends and neighbors who realized the developers had not built the club with amenities of the quality and scale appropriate to the active lifestyle and very social nature its members desired. In 2006, in response to ever-increasing social demands, the membership voted to enlarge the dining area, add the present-day grill room, and modestly increase the space available for fitness activities. More recently, the club increased space for casual gathering by adding two fire pits and furniture, and it created four pickleball courts to respond to the rapid growth and member interest in that sport. Challenging the Present Since our last major renovation thirteen years ago, changes have occurred in the golf and country club environment. These trends, along with significant lifestyle changes and new demographics, compelled us to respond. Researching our "competitors," surveying our members, studying local and national trends, and listening to your feedback during focus groups and town hall meetings led us to the following conclusions: • Fitness is of significant importance to all age groups, and our fitness class enrollment has increased well beyond our classroom size. • Our aging pool and spa need to be updated and made more energy efficient. • There is a growing interest in outdoor dining; our current concession area needs enhancements to provide expanded service. • Interest in racquet sports has increased, and our NHGCC Racquet Association membership has more than doubled in the last five years, to 180 members. • The lack of meeting rooms, inadequate storage space, and the need for more parking space require solutions. Fitness Center and Administration Offices. A newly constructed building on the site of the existing tennis courts will house the Fitness Center and Highlights administration offices. Fitness Center A significantly increased cardio (machine) area provides a larger I capacity for equipment, weights, and stretching and a more expansive floor plan. Two spacious rooms are dedicated for exercise�classes, with space that is almost five times larger than the existing exercise classroom. This allows more attendees and more class offerings, alleviating the problem of members being turned away due to overcrowded classes. A new physical therapy room enables members, at their own cost, to schedule convenient onsite massage and therapy sessions at NH rather than having to drive offsite. Administration Offices A new reception area will provide a friendly "face" to visitors, guests, and members of Naples Heritage. Added space and improved design will foster better functionality and efficiency for employees.

Highlights Cabana An expanded concession area, with several screened -in tables, offers a casual dining venue for pool users, golfers, and others with a great poolside view. Similar to the grill room, the bar area will support overhead televisions. Ceiling fans will complement the roofed, screened dining area. No air conditioning is planned as the facility will likely not be open during the hot summer months. A screened -in beverage bar, seating a dozen people, provides all -day service capability, with coffee, juices, pastries, and smoothies in the morning through cocktails later in the day, while providing lunch fare and appetizers, such as soups, salads, sandwiches, hot dogs & hamburgers, wings, and more! Awnings will offer shade to diners who sit at additional tables and chairs on either side of the screened -in area. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS Parking The tennis relocation creates 69 more parking spaces at the clubhouse, and 20 new spaces at the tennis facility. Storage Converting existing office space into a storage area provides greatly needed storage space for tables, chairs, etc. and will reduce juggling of furniture for event setup. Tennis.

Highlights Tennis Courts Six contiguous Har -Tru tennis courts offer optimal match play conditions. Tennis Pavilion A roofed tennis pavilion offers covered seating, washrooms, ice/water, and storage space for tennis equipment. Creating the Future Three years ago, the Campus Expansion Project was approved by NHGCC members, but the Collier County Board of Commissioners suspended our plans, suggesting we alter our intended tennis courts relocation to a different area. This project's goals remain unchanged ---the focus continues to be on balancing our community's immediate needs and positioning NHGCC for the future by substantially updating existing amenities through refurbishment and new construction. The NHGCC Campus Expansion Project plans.to modernize fitness, the pool area, outdoor dining, and social amenities. The new Fitness Center will provide substantially more space for both classes and equipment. In addition to our current fine dining and grill room areas, we will now offer an expanded concession area with both outdoor and screened -in seating and a small bar, all offering an eye-catching view of our newly redesigned pool and deck area. For the first time in club history, meeting attendees, card players, and others will have a dedicated multipurpose area for those activities. Parking, storage, and office space will all be increased. We members can rightfully take pride in Naples Heritage: we have a great location, a vibrant clubhouse, beautiful preserves, an excellent Audubon -certified golf course, a strong and varied fitness program, robust racquet sports, wonderful amenities, and a tremendous group of neighbors that form the social "glue" that holds everything together. The Naples Heritage Board of Trustees is committed to maintaining NHGCC's role as one of Southwest Florida's premier bundled communities by continually addressing current issues and also preparing for the future. The proposed changes are designed to respond to member interests, resolve immediate concerns, and protect our position in the competitive bundled community market. We hope you share the vision that this proposal presents. Respectfully submitted, The Naples Heritage Board of Trustees Financial Plan The estimated sources and uses for the project are listed below.

NAPLES HERITAGE Discover Naples Heritage, .r Imo'. ' j . rj Established in 1997, Naples Heritage (NHGCC) is a golf and country club community located on over 550 acres of land, of which 252 acres are Florida natural preserve. Nestled into this natural landscape are a total of 799 units, providing NHGCC with the lowest density of any community of its type in Naples. NHGCC is proud of its ongoing certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary ---balancing living space and natural preserves. Our tightknit community has strong neighborhood roots, with 553 registered voters residing in NHGCC, and engages in many philanthropic endeavors, both within NHGCC and across the community: Naples Heritage Cares, our 501(c)(3) charity, actively raises money for local charities that work to improve the lives of Southwest Florida families. We do this through varied channels such as golf tournaments, contests, and sponsorships; fashion shows; raffles and auctions; and individual dona- tions. Thanks to the continuing generosity of our members, more than $200,000 has been raised to date to benefit several charities, including Boys & Girls Club of Collier County, Laces of Love, Sun- shine Kids, the Shelter for Abused Women & Children, and The Golisano Pediatric Hospital. We are honored that the fifth floor nurses' station in the Barbara's Friends Unit of the Golisano Pe- diatric Hospital is named for Naples Heritage. We have also hosted charity golf tournaments for the VFW, the American Legion, and the Collier County Heart Walk. • Our Neighbors Helping Neighbors initiative has members who assist with tasks including rides to medical appointments and chores like picking up mail, helping with groceries, taking out trash, and doing minor handyman chores for residents with mobility issues. A significant number of our residents are active volunteers for local organizations, including Laces of Love, Sunshine Kids, Habitat for Humanity, Naples Botanical Garden, and Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. 8150 Heritage Club Way • Naples, Florida 34112 239-417-2555 • Fax 239-417-1717 NAPLES HERITAGE 8150 Heritage Club Way Kenneth Gaynor Naples, Florida 34112 President Phone: 239-417-2555 napiesken@cs.com , Fax: 239-417-1717 TWELVE LAKES PUD c.n VL��,o�f�� o r i ACRD Acnrs am 1R HAMMOCI(PUD 1101 till I C 1:4 417 14) R11A1`111C SCAT li CEDAR HAMMOCI(PUD 0 EXISTING TENNIS LOCATION 0 ORIGINAL 2016 PROPOSAL PROPOSED TENNIS FACILITY I = PROP, TENNIS FACILITY CA. — - CA. �� ._/�,�\ rtal�tirftil l r'.. _�� Jr`// 1 '• If X� .r. , `��./.i A ` - Gr) CA(�7 _ _- - --= - =-- -------------------------_- CA A.
