an ord1nan=e has been prepared to amtn~ the Collier County Fire Control District II
to fnclude that portfon of Golden Gate Estates now being serviced by the Golden
Gate Fire Control District. He said that there is need to insure fire protection
for this area because of the present level of development, and also to provide a
mechanism to compensate the appropriate fire district to provide such service. It

Commissioner Pistor pointrd out the costs involved in building a firehouse,
purchasing the necessary equipment, and the like, with Hr. Norman citing specific
figures regarding the funds required to support other similar districts. suggesting
that it would not be economically feasible at this point to establish separate
districts. He said that the Golden Gate District has, and will continue to,
expend a great deal of its resources in proViding protection to the subject area
and that, in his opinion, the present arrangement should not be permitted to
continue.

PETITION R-79-l4C, ROBERl SHARP, REQUESTING REZONING FROM "A" AND "A-ST" TO "PC"
AND "PC-ST" FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN SECTION 12, T49S, R25E - DENIED
le9al notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on July 20, 1979
as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was
held to consider a proposed ordinance with regard to Petition R-79-14C, by Robert
Sharp, requesting rezoning from "A" Agriculture and "A-ST" Special Treatment to
"PC" and "PC-ST" Professional Conrnercial-Special Treatment on property located
in the S~ of Section 12, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, which is located on
the east side of Airport Road between YMCA Road and Cougar Drive.
Community Development Administrator Neno Spagna explained that the purpos!
for the petition was to permit the construction of an office bUilding for use for an
AAA Motor Club operation. He said that the petition has been reviewed by all review
agencies and recommended for approval subject to certain stipulations, and by the
Coastal Area Planning Commission subject to the same staff stipulations.

August 21, 1979
Mr. Robert Sharp, representing the Peninsula Motor Club (AAA), provided
further details on the proposed use of the property and stated his agreement to
the stipulations imposed. Responding to County Attorney Pickworth regarding the
proposed use of the balance of the property, Mr. Sharp said that the facility which
~ould house his organization would hopefully allow for the leaSing of space
for professional offices. Dr. Spagna stated his awareness of the proposed additioni
use for the property but, recognizing the fact that the Board has discouraged
commercial and industrial zoning on the east side of Airport Road, stated that,
in his opinion, the use of the property would not be a strictly commercial type
usage. He said that the ,"PC" zoning district was fashioned to allow more professior
type use to fit somewhere in between residential and commercial zoning, observing
that such zoning would be a good use for the subject prcperty.
Commissioner Pistor questioned whether or not a step backwards might be taken
in that it was determined as part of the Comprehensive Plan that all of such zoning
as is being discussed was removed from the east side of Airport Road. Dr. Spagna
con~rurred. however, he said that the subject petition was submitted before the
adoption of the Plan and. if approved, an adjustment will have to be made in the
six-month review process.
The petition was deliberated on at length covering such matters as the possibil
of setting a precedent, if the rezoning is approvedt the zoning of adjacent propertil
\ihether or not consideration has been given to locating the project on the
opposite side of Airport Road which is already zoned commercialt and other like
topics.
There being no further persons registered to speak on the petition, Commissionel
Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and unanimously carried, that the
public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Archer moved for approval of Petition R-79-l4C as recommended by
the CAPC and staff, subject to the four stipulations imposed. Chainman Brown
seconded the motion.
Mr. Sharp commented on some of the points brought out during the discussion,
among them the length of time which has been spent in attempting to find a parcel
of property which would be suitable for the intended PUrpOS8t his lack of knowledge
August 21, 1979
with regard to the "ST" zoning prrtion of the proper~, and the like.
Commissioner Archer pointed out the definite need for professional offfice
buildings in the subject area and said that in his opinion such use would blend
in beautifully with the residential areas in that location. Commissioner Wimer
noted that he is not convinced that the proposed use is the best and highest
use for the property in question suggesting that, due to its location adjacent
to the YMCA and the high school, a better use might be for recreational or
institutional purposes.
Commissioner Wenzel recalled that a recent petition for rezoning to
commercial zoning had been turned down for a parcel in th~ same locale and
questioned Why the petition under discussion was being recommended for approval.
Dr. Spagna explained that it was felt by the Board that the construction of a
7-11 Store in that vicinity would have a bad affect on the school children attending
Barron Collier High School, as was suggested by a School Board member in attendance
at the public hearing when the petition was discussed.
Responding to County Attorney Pickworth, Dr. Spagna said that because of the
"PC" zoning being less intensive commercial use there is justification for grantiug
the rezoning. adding that it will ~e a reasonable type of transitional zoning
belween more intensive commercial use and residential use. Mr. Pickworth pointed
out that the nearby intersection of' two four-lane roads will almost inevitably
be commercial and the "PC" zoning will act IS a buffer zone to the residential
areas to be developed away from the intersection and that the "PC" zoning can be
justified if not permitted to extend any farther than the area under discussion.
Commissioner Wimer disagreed stating that the area is residential to the north
and to the south is zoned for a church building and therefore would not be a
buffer, also pointing out that the subject property is not on a corner. Hr. PlckNortl
said that the residential is not in existence now and explained that what he was
referring to is whether or not it could act as a buffer and also whether the BOard
can hold the line on the other areas.
Upon call for the question a roll call vote was taken which resulted in the
defeat of the petition by a vote of 3/2 - Commissioners Wenzel and Wimer voting in
opposition.

Gulf Harbor Subdivision on which the petitioner wishes to develop low density,
garden-type apartments. The petition has been reviewed by all of the review agencil
said Dr. Spagna, and recommended for approval with the follOWing stipulations:

Dr. Spagna advised that the Coastal Area Planning Commission. fOllOWing their
public hearing on July 5, 1979, recommended forwarding the petition to the Board
with a recommendation of approval subject to the staff's stipulations, as outlined
above. Responding to Commissioner Wenzel, Or. Spagna explained that what is meant
by low density is a maximum of 6.22 units per acre.
There being no persons registered to speak on the matter, Commissioner Pistor
moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and unanimously carried, that the public
hearing be closed.

~~~A:~~~~~:~I~s~~Nl:7:~~~~~~Or.A~~T~~ ~~DI~~u~iE2~F :~~~I~~7pE~itSll,
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT AS DESIGNED
legal notice having been published in the Marco Island Eaglt on August 2, 197~
as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was
opened to consider Petition V-79-16C filed by Mermaid of Marco Island, Marco Homes,
Inc., requesting a variance from "RM-2" Zoning District to permit the construction
of two 2-story apartment buildings, one with 10 units and one with 12 units, on
lot 27, Block 357, Unit 11, Marco Beach Subdivision.
Zoning Director Carl Clemmer explained that in September, 1978, Mr. Don Cahill
Architect representing the developer, submitted a schematic site plan for the
project which he said was incomplete, having only an ~utline of the lot and an outl'
of the proposed building envelopes. He said that it was necessary to use an
engineer's scale to determine the acreage and location of proposed building; size
and setbacks. He said that it was stated at the time that by using the scale, the
project appeared to conform. however. in no way was this approval of the project.
It was expected that drawings, as they were being developed, would be submitted
said Mr. Clemmer.
Continuing. Mr. Clemmer said that when the plans for the project were submittec
for a building permit it was found that the parcel of 1.7659 acres will permit
19.69 units. It is being recommended, said Mr. Clemmer, that the petition be denfec
and the project either be redesigned or the necessary Transfer of Development
Rights be obtained.
Mr. Cahill di~played blueprints of the project to the Commissioners and stated
that the final plan was the same as the preliminar,y plan presented and that it was
copied verbatim. Responding to Commissioner Wenzel, Mr. Cahill said that the
preliminary drawing was submitted to determine if the plans were satisfactor,y, follo
which the working drawings were developed; condominium documents filed with
Tallahassee; and added that one-half of the units have been sold. He detailed,the
correspondence received from the County staff with regard to the matter particularly
pertaining to complying with the provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
if adopted as proposed.
MOK 048 rACE 2Z
August 21, 1979
The matter of methodology in computing density was discussed with Mr. Cahill
pointing out ~hat the buildings co"ld be raised to three stories which would
permit the 22 units requested. along with various other design changes which could
be used to increase the density. however, he said such changes in the plans would
i,ncrease the costs already expended for the project. The suggestion was made
that the project could be reduced by two units with Mr. Cahill commenting that this
would affect the financing arrangements which have already been approved based on
the total number of units as being 22.
Assistant County Attorney Anthony Pires expressed the opinion that the only
hardship involved was one of economics which is not sufficient for granting a
variance, further commenting that any approval tmich is given was qualified
approval at best, based upon a "rough" plan submitted. and whfch were not submitted
in the course of a formal building permit process.
During the discussion which followed, the regulations governing the flood
insurance program were discussed with Community Development Administr<<tor Neno
Spagna explaining the various provisions of the law including the deadline for
commencement of construction.
Following his statement that, in his opinion, the problem is a technical
one, and not a matter of density since the project will be below the maximum which
could be allowed, Commissioner Wimer moved that the bUilding permits be issued
for the project dS designed. Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion, commenting
that there should be changes made to the complicated density formula and suggesting
that the criteria for density should be on the land and not whether or not the
~uilding is one, two or more stories. Upon call for the question, the motion
carried 4/1 with Commissioner Archer voting in opposition.
It was noted that the public hearing had not been closed, whereupon Commissionl
Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously 5/0 that the
public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Wimer restated his motion that the building permits be issued for
the project as designed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and carriec
4/1 with Connissioner Archer voting in opposition.

TENTATIVE (PROPOSED) BUDGET FOR BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR FY 1979-80 -
ADOPTED, AS AMENDED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on August 13,
1979 as evidenr.ed by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public
hearing was opened to consider the Board of County Commissioners, Collier
County, Florida Proposed Budget for FY 1979-80.
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall explained that the sUbject budget includes
all funds budgeted by the Board under Chapters 125 and 153 Part I. and covers
all funds being administered by the Board except the County Water-Sewer District,
the Immokalee Water & Sewer District, and the Marco Water & Sewer District. He
said that each of those three Districts are separate legal entities established
under Chapter 153 Part II and for each of these the Board is the Ex-officio
Governing body and has a completely separate budgeting process than the one
under discussion this date. He said that water and sewer funds will be addressed
but only for those dependent districts under the Board of County Commissioners.
Referring to the summary sheet which was distributed. Mr. Hall said that the
County-Wide Funds upon which the County-Wide millage is based upon totals
$23,3C4,759 a.ld noted that the current millage is 5.47 ;Ili11s. however, said Mr.
Hall, the millage to fund the proposed budget is 5.45 mills - down by .02 mills.
Mr. Ira Evans, representing the Marco Island Taxpayers' Association,
stated that the Association has had the utmost cooperation from Mr. Hall
and his staff and any information requested has been provided. Mr. Evans
addressed many points in the budget, among them the 22.4% increase in the
General Fund, urging the Board to order every department to strive for a
5% reduction from the hudget with periodic reports to be forthcoming on the
progress towards accomplishing that Objective. Other points touched upon
was the organizational change which indicates an increase in excess of
$100,000 per year with no identified corresponding reduction in expenses;
the lack of information regarding personnel content in the budget. the high cost
for police protection in the County which is high compared to other communities.
and the like. One of the recommendations made by Mr. Evans was that a policy
be established wherein no capital expenditure be financed over a period greater
August 21, 1979
than the life of the facility for which financing is arranged. Hr. Hall
assured Mr. Evans that the B~ar~ has established such a policy and that
the policy is being followed.
Mr. Mike Zewalk. representing the North Naples Area Civic Association,
was critical of the small reduction in the millage rate which is proposed
in view of the fantastic growth within the County which brings with it
large increases in dollars. Responding to this comment, Commissioner Wenzel
pointed out that there is no town in the country where growth pays for
growth, to his knowledge, further commenting that if the various civic
groups, as an overall organization, would state to the Board that certain
services can be done without, taxes could be cut.
Mr. Zewalk expressed concern over the growing number of employees in
County government which is partially caused by absorbing CElA employees.
He concluded by challenging the Board to instruct every department to
reduce its budget by 5%.
Commissioner Wimer expressed the hope that in the years to come that
the same complaint can be made about the small decrease in taxes instead of
having to respond to a room filled with persons complaining about a large
increase.
Mr. Virgil Patch, representing the Contractors' Licensing Board, urged
the Board to reconsider its action whereby the position of Compliance Officer
was cut from the Building Department's bUdget. He explained the reasoning
behind the request for such position. why, in his opinion, the duties of
such position cannot be assumed by the Department's present staff. County
Manager Norman explained his reasons for not recommending the position, among
them the fact that three inspectors were added to the Department recently
because of the growth in construction during the last year which, in his
viewpoint, will not continue during the coming years and which could cause
a layoff of personnel. He said that he would like to work with the Department
to develop a program whereby Building Inspectors can provide enforcement of
the Contractors' Licensing Board regulations. It was Commissioner Archer's
suggestion that possibly the pertinent ordinance should be rewritten, commenting
that better legislation than what is nOwon the books is needed before inspectors
bO~'" ~U rkllt &."'v
August 21, 1979
can enforce the rules and regulations.
Chairman Brown directed the staff to review the matter under discussion
and come back ~'ith recommendatior.s on how the problems can best be resolved
with Mr. Hall observing that if the workload in the subject area reflects
additional needs adjustments can be made on an as-needed basis. as was
done during the previous year.
The last speaker expressing a desire to address the Board was Mr. George
Stewart, Chairman of the Marco Island Fire Control District. Prior to his
comments. Hr. Hall briefed the Board on the effect the 1051 ad valorem tax
cap appears to have on the independent fire districts. He explained that the
Board created the Marco Island MSTD and levied taxes in addition to the
$20,000 cap which would be levied under the law in order to fund the budget
of the Fire District. Further, said Mr. Hall, the state-r..ndated 1051 cap
appears to apply to the $20,000 levied last year which will leave the Department
short in its budget needs and. therefore, there has been some discussion that
the MSTD should be continued.
Mr. Hall agreed that the decision should have been made on July 15, 1979.
however, when the tentative budget was prepared. it was not known at that time
that the 105S applied. He said that, from conversations with the Department
of Revenue, there are similar situations happending allover the State and that
an attempt is being made to interpret the law on a case-by-case basis and to
facilitate the local unit of government, as long as it is not going over the
105% on whatever the total endeavor was. He said that if it is requested by
the subject District there would be need, with the Board's direction, to
determine if the proposal can be added into the budget the same as was done the
previous year.
Mr. Steward concurred with Mr. Hall regarding the matter, stating that
the statement from the Tax Assessor indicates that there will be a shortage
of approximately $165,000 in funds to support the budget which is $215,000
with a cash carryover of $30,000.
Commissioner Wimer moved that the staff look into the matter and take
whatever appropriate action is necessary to assist inClUding, if necessary,
August 21, 1979
the preparation of the proper resolution creating the MSTD. Commissioner
Wenzel seconded the mostion.
Hr. Hall requested that the motion be amended to include the proper
dollar amount, noting that since this will be a change in the pUblished
budget. a motion by the Board is necessar,y to make the Change.
Clerk William Reagan inquired if the Legal Department has been consulted
with regard to the matter with Mr. Hall responding in the negative noting
that any action taken will be subject to the Department's approval. Mr.
Reagan suggested that possibly the proposal should b. further reviewed and
brought back to the Board. He said that his concern is the taxing of two
different areas for one purpose and that Senate Bill 8 did not want this to
happen. He further stated that even though a 105% c^P was mandated, it is
still ad valorem taxes and noted that the Senate Bill mentioned is a strong
one. He reiterated his request that County Attorney Pickworth be consulted.
Commissioner Wimer observed that his motion on the floor still stood with
Mr. Hall offering an alternative - that the Board approve the $166.000 budget
and have the County Attorney's office advise as to the legality of the action
prior to the establishment of the millage. He said that it is at that point
where it must be known as to whether or not it can be done. In other words,
said Hr. Hall. the budget can be approved but does not have to be funded at
this time. pending the determination of the legality of the proposal. He
said that if it cannot be done, then the millage would not be established.
Commissioner Wimer agreed to amend his motion to include the approval of
the $166,000 budget for the Marco Island Fire Control District with Commissioner
Wenzel concurring in his seconding thereof. Upon call for the question, the
motion carried unanimously 5/0.
Hr. Hall reported that since the bUdget was published in the newspaper,
two other changes have been discussed and recommended, one being a change
in the dollar amount in the budget on the Port-au-Prince Engineering matter
(Fund NO. 149-Special MST). Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner
Archer and carried unanimously 5/0, that the budget figure in this regard be
changed to $7,035, the Ad Valorem Taxes figure changed to $5,697, with no cash
carryover, as recommended by Mr. Hall.
aoOK V4~ PACE lU~
The other budget change being recommended, said Mr. Hall, is
in the Victoria par~'Drainage fund (Fund No. 149-Special MSTD). Com-
missioner Wp~~el moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried
unanimously 5/0, that the budget figure for this matter be changed
to $3,049, with the Ad Valorem Tax figure being correspondingly
changed following calculation thereof.
Mr. Hall stated that those changes conclude all of the known
suggestions and changes to the published budget which appeared in
the Naples Daily News on August 13, 1979.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer
and carried 5/0, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Pistor moved for tentative approval of the pro-
posed budgets as presented and as published, with the changes recom-
mended by Mr. Hall. Commissioner Archer seconded the motion which
carried unanimously 5/0.
