PETiTION R-78-32C BY ROBERT TUYlS REQUESTING REZONING FROM "RS-3" TO "RM-2" FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED IN SECTION 18. T50S, R26E (CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY 20. 1979) -
DENIED
legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on January 19,
1979 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk. publiC hearin
was continued from February 20. 1979 with regard to Petition R-78-32C by Robert
Tuyls requesting rez.)ning from "RS-3" to "RM-2" for property located in Section
18. Township 50 South. Range 26 East. further described as being located on the
northeast corner of Hawaii Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road.
Community Development Administrator Neno Spagna located the property in
question on the colpred map provided. shown in green, and recalled that the
petition was reviewed by the Coastal Area Planning Commission on January 4, 1979
at which time it was recommended for denial because approval would add to the
worsening of the sewage situation presently existing in the SUbject location
and also because it was felt that the existing zoning is adequate. Dr. Spagna
added that the staff recommendation is for approval of the petition.
Commissioner Pistor was asked to comment on his personal investigation of th
area, particularly with regard to the sewage prOblem. and, referring to his
memorandum to the Board dated February 22. 1979. Commissioner Pistor' reported
that he visited the location on two different occasions and could not perceive
of any Objectionable odor on either day. The Commissioner also reported to the
Board of his other findings.
February 27, 1979
The following persons spoke in opposition to granting of the rezoning
petition. all of whom are residents in the area:
1. William S. Pettit - 8 Lanai Circle
2. Dora E. Palmer - 9 Lanai Circle
3. Albert DiProsperus - 45 Lanai Circle
4. Barbara Keim - 27 Maui Circle
5. Paul Gross - 28 Maui Circle
6. Alexander H. Hirst - 4807 Hawaii Blvd.
7. Warren H. Crabb - 59 Hilo Court
Mr. William Barton, of Wilson. Miller, Barton, So11 & Peek, Inc.. re-
presenting the petitioner. responded to the various concerns expressed by the
public concluding with the observation that. in his opinion. the petition for
rezoning is a valid one and. if granted. will provide the best and highest use
of the subject land - for the community. as well as for the developer.
It was suggested that it might be helpful if a design for use of the
property were to be provided with Mr. Barton stating that, for rezoning purpos
a master plan is not a requirement and. furthermore. if provided, such plan
would not be binding on the part of the developer. A further comment by
~lr. Barton was the fact that to develop the parcel into single-family lots
would be disastrous economically due to its~location. .
Clerk William Reagan filed for the record three letters of opposition to
the petition. as follows:
1. C. J. Anderson & Family - 4920 Oevon Circle
2. Howard D. and Julia M. Fields - 4925 Oevon Circle
3. Francois P. van der Vegt - 4936 Hawaii Boulevard
Also filed for the record by Commissioner Archer were individual letters
each Commissioner from Arnold E. Lamm. 1601 Galleon Drive, opposing increases
zoning density.
All opponents and proponents having been heard. Commissioner Wenzel moved
seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimously 5/0. that the public
hearing be closed.
Due to the fact that conflicting recommendations were made by the County'
staff and the Coastal Area Planning Commission. Commissioner Archer explained
relationship between Dr. Spagna and his staff of professionals and the CAPe.
aoox 045 rAGE 600
aOOK 045 PAGE 601
February 27, 1979
said that the staff is composed of several professional land-use planning
people whereas the advisory group is made up of volunteers with no specific
planning and/or engineering training and are strictly advisors to the Board.
Their reports are considered by the Board. continued the Commissioner, and in
many cases their recommendations are accepted and some are occasionally denied.
He said that advisory boards are not a part of County government. They are
selected by the Board to advise the Commissioners, and that they "do a good
job". He suggested that there may be some misunderstanding as to the functions
of advisory boards as compared to the technical staff members who are paid
by the taxpayers of the County.
During the subsequent discussion. at the request of Commissioner Wimer.
Or. Spagna reported that his recommendation for approval was prepared prior to
the hearing on the matter held by the CAPC, that the petition was recommended
for approval by the Water Management Advisory Board with the stipulation that
final site dl::veloprl.ent plan be brought back for review, and that ths Environmental
Advisory Board also recommended appr.oval of the rezoning with the stipulation
that the melaleuca trees be removed.
As requested by Commissioner Wimer. the County Attorney offered his legal
opinion that. in the event the rezoning was granted, if the County was sued by,
f~r instance. someone who was disappointed over the Board's action. the County
would probably win. Conversely, said Hr. Pickworth, if the County was sued by
the petitioner, if the (:e~ision is made to deny the rezoning. the petitioner
would probably win. He explained his reasoning for the latter opinion by stating
that the Board's taking an opposing position to their own highly.trained, pro-
fessional expert on zoning matters would be hard to defend in court. adding the
comment that "your own expert becomes the other side's witness". Hr. Pickworth
noted that. in court. he would carefully examine the reasons why Dr. Spagna
reached the conclusion that he did.
Commissioner Archer. prefacing his motion by stating that he was basing his
motion not with any weight placed upon Mr. Pickworth's comments but upon what was
February 27, 1979
said during the public hearing. moved that the proposed ordinance re Petition
R-78-32C by Robert Tuyls. requesting rezoning for certain property in Section
18, Township 50 South, Range 26 East. be adopted. Ind requested a roll call
vote. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wimer and was defeated 3/2.
following a roll call vote. with Commissioners Pistor and Wenzel voting in
opposition. (4/5 vote required for rezoning).

GENERAL DISCUSSION RE AMENDMENTS TO EXCAVATION ORDINANCE - NO ACTION TAKEN
PENDING REVIEW OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS "'IRING FUTURE WORKSHOP SESSION
Commissioner Pistor. referring to the excavation permit requests scheduled
on the agenda, suggested that Board action on these applications be postponed
until the revised Excavation Ordinance is discussed at the following week's
Workshop Session. It was his opinion that no additional excavation or fill
permits should be granted until an ordinance has been worked out which is
enforceable and which will provide the staff with definite instructions with
regard to such permits. Commissioner Archer expressed concurrence with
Commissioner Pistor.
Mr. Thomas Peek. of Wilson, Miller. Barton, Soll & Peek. Inc. in attendancl
to address one of the excavation permit requests, stated tha.t H is his viewpoir
that the permits requested should not be delayed pending the Board's modificati(
to the excavation ordinance. suggesting that the modifications probably would
not be significant enough to have a severe affect.
Commissioner Wenzel inquired whether or not the pertinent applications shou
be approved subject to the petitioners agreeing to abide by the County's new
excavation ordinance if adopted in the next two weeks. County Attorney Pickwort
advised that, to whatever extent the new ordinance imposes new and different
requirements. the applicants will be required to comply with them.
Commissioners Archer and Pistor agreed to acting upon the excavation permit
requests scheduled providing that the petitioner makes a statement when it is
adopted. Utility Director Irving Serzon 'l'll11lented that each application would
have to be asked to make such a statement. and. if he agrees. the permit should
so stipulate. He added that the proposed changes, to his knowledge, address
primarily administrative and/or surveillance aspects.
Mr. Fred Biery, Engineer. representing the Pelican Bay request for excavati(
permit, voiced his agreement with Mr. Peek's statement regarding further delays;
receiving permits, stating the petitioner's intent to comply with the present
ordinance from the construction point of view. He agreed to go along with any
administrative changes included in the new ordinance.

EXCAVATION PERMIT RE CANTA MAR APARTMENTS ~h~SE II _ DENIED
Utility Director Irving Berzon explained that all pertinent information
regarding the request by the developers of Canta Mar Apartments Phase II
(located at the NW corner of the intersection of Kelly Road and Thomasson Drive)
is contained in the Executive Summary prepared by him dated February 15, 1979
and it is his recommendation that the permit be granted with the stipulations
imposed by the Water Management Advisory Board and the additional stipulation
regarding whether or not the applicant will comply with any amendments adopted
in the revised excavation ordinance.
Mr. Jerry Eckert. representing Doyle Hopkins, developer of Canta Mar
Apartments. expressed his belief that Mr. Hopkins would have no objections
to complying with any administrative changes in the new ordinance. He said
that the stipulations placed on the permft by the WMAB have been noted and
where changes were necessary. they have been made and submitted to Mr. Berzon's
office.
Commissioner Wenzel moved that;'based on the statement by the applicant's
representative. and. also, on the recommendations by the WMAB and staff. the
excavation permit be granted. It was pointed out by Commissioner Pistor that
one of the revisions being proposed in the ordinance is the fact that all fees
and bonds applicable to excavations will be assessed and/or posted regardless of
whether or not the fill material will remain on-site. noting that a waiver of
these is being recommended by staff for this particular permit. Following
this statement. Commissioner Pistor seconded the motion, which carried 3/2 with
Commissioners Archer and Pistor voting in opposition.
The question was raised as to whether or not the permit is being issued
after-the-fact. Mr. Berzon explained that the developer commenced excavating

statement that they would comply with any new County administrative regulations.

administrative changes are made and postfng of a bond is required after the
start of excavations, accept those administrative conditions? Mr. Fred
Biery of Post. Buckley. Schuh. & Jernigan, engineering firm representing the
developer. stated that there would be a definite need to see a copy of the
ordinance; however, if what the Board adopts are changes from an administrative
point of view. the developer would go along with them. H. added th~t it is
his understanding that the Board would have a hearing on the matter at which
time there would be an opportunity to comment on the ordinance revisions,
which he would do.
Responding to Commissioner Pistor. Mr. Biery concurred that his company
posts a bond for the construction of. the entire project.
Mr. Mike Zewalk inquired if the excavations would have any affect on the
water quality for those properties directly south of the subject with Mr. Biery

of County Ordinance 73-12 due to the fact that the applicant has stated that

Mr. Rex Laubaugh. the applicant, responded in the affirmative to
Commissioner Wenzel's inquiry if he would be willing to take out a Performance
Bond if the new ordinance requires a bond for all excavations.

stipulations. He said that in 1978 the developer requested a variance from
one of the stipulations. namely, that the restoration of the excavation bottom
be carried out to a .71 msl instead of the originally stipulated -SI msl. Base

FILL PERMIT REQUESTED BY MC ARTHUR AND BARBARA WILLIAMS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
IN SECTION 1, T49S, R25E - APPROVED SUBJlC. TO STAFF AND WMAB STIPULATIONS,
AS MODIFIED, AND INCLUDING STIPULATION THAT PERMIT WILL BE CANCELED IF ANY
PROVISION IS VIOLATED
Utility Director Irving Berzon advised that the Board is being requested to
approve a Fill Permit for McArthur and Barbara Williams for property located in
Section 1, Township 49 South. Range 25 East. further described as being located
in the approximate vicinity of Orange Blossom Drive, and east of Airport Road. The
intent of the permit. said Mr. Berzon. is to restore the ground surface to an
elevation of approximately 10.8+ msl, adding that the amount of fill to be placed
is approximately 16,000 cubic yards.
Based on its review. continued Mr. Berzon. the Water Management Advisory
Board recommends that the Board authorize that filling may be carri~d out in the
location aforementioned provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
1. That all State and other regulatory agencies' requirements concerning
filling operations are satisfied by the property owner;
*2. That ~ill muterial should ba limited to rocks. sand, trees. stubs. and
that no putresible materials be placed into the fill area under any
circumstances;
3. That clean earth fill should be used to cover each day's activities
and that this be done within the daylight hours of the same day that
material is placed in the pit; ,
4. That the owner provide daily surveillance to assure control of the
filling and cover operation;
S. That the west bank of the excavated area should be dressed with clean
fill, immediately, and maintained in a good. clean, neat appearing
manner;
6. That a silt barrier screen must be placed along the west property
line during the entire filling operation to prevent the discharge
of silt into water bodies on the adjacent property.
7. That the County is to have access to the property at all times for
inspection purposes; and.
8. That the owner shall notify the County upon completion of the entire
operation and that the length of time for completion shall not exceed
one (1) year from the date of issuance of the permit to fill.
Concerning the condition contained in Paragraph 2. Commissioner Pistor
questioned why the WMAB agreed to permitting the use of trees and stubs as fill
material. Mr. Serzon stated that he was not in accord with the use of this
material and that it is his personal recommendation that such material be kept
out of the area to be filled.
February 27, 1979
Attorneys William Keith and Daniel Monaco, representing the applicants,
were present to respond to the Board's questions with Hr. Keith stating that
they are in agreement with the recommendations and stipulations set forth by
the WMAB; however. he said that if the Commissioner feels it is necessary to
eliminate trees and stubs as fill material, the petitioners would be agreeable.
Mr. Monaco noted that it was agreed that the use of these materials would be
kept to a minimum amount. adding the observation that it might not be feasible
to cover the area without the use of such fill material.
Commissioner Archer moved that the Board approve the request for a Fill
Permit by McArthur and Barbara Williams for property located in Section 1.
Township 49 South, Range 25 East. subject to the staff Ind WMAB stipulations,
modifying Paragraph 2 thereof to delete *trees and stubs IS permissible fill
materials. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wenzel.
Mr. Berzon requested that a further condition be included which states that
the Permit would ~p. canc~l)ed iF any of the provisions of the Permit are violated.
Commissioner Archer agreed to including suc~ provision in his motion with
Commissioner Wenzel concurring with the amendment to the motion in his seconding
thereof.
Mr. Monaco recalled that during the discussion by the WMAB with regard to
the Permit it was indicated that if the project could not be completed within the
time period of one year. as stipulated. that liberal consideration would be
given for an extension of the time period. He asked that this provisio~ be
included for the record. Commissioner Wenzel pointed out that any applicant has
the right to request an extension of time for completion of I project with Mr.
Berzon commenting that the minutes reflect that. providing the applicants are
showing good faith in following the recommendations and stipulations of the
Permit. the staff. and presumably the Board. would go along with a reasonable
extension of time.
Upon call for the question the motion. as amended. carried by unanimous vote
5/0.
