PUBLIC HEARING RE PETI'nON R-77-26-C BY COLLIER COUNTY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION REQUESTING REZONING FROM "RM-l" TO "GRC" FOR AN OFFICE ON LOTS 55-62, BLOCK A, ROCK CREEK PARK - CONTINUED UNTIL MARCH 28, 197B Legal notice having been published in The Naples Star on February 10, 197B as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition R-77-26-C by the Collier County Education Association requesting rezoning from "RM-1" to "GRC" for an office on Lots 55-62, Block A, Rock Creek Park, located on the Southeast corner of Terrace Avenue and Shadowlawn Drive. Mr. Richard Faust, representing the petitioner, stated that he would like to complete the rezoning request despite the letter EE - .. March 14, 1978 delivered to th~ Commiss~oners from the owner of three of the lots in question, Mr. Larry Calderone, dated March 9, 197B in which he requested that lata 57, 58 and 59 be removed from the petition. lie said that thoro is an existing contract with the owners of the particular parcels which stipulated that the petitioner would be allowed to continue the rezoning to its con- clusion, adding that if the rezoning process is not permitted to continue it would be a breach of that contract. Assistant County Attorney James Siesky stated that he has not seen the letter in question; however, he voiced the opinion that it was undesirable to be involved in a contract dispute between the two parties. Commissioner Archer noted the absence of one of the Com- missioners and pointed out that a rezoning petition requires the affirmative vote of four of the five Commissioners, fOllowing which he suggested that the hearing be continued for another weck for this reason and to permit the Legal Department to further review the matter. Director of Community Development Dr. Neno Spagna commented that the consideration given the rezoning peti- tion by the staff and the Coastal Area Planning Commission was based on all of the lots in question being rezoned and, speaking for the staff, said that he would want to review the petition again if some of the lots were going to be removed from the petition. Commissioner Wenzel moved that the public hearing regarding Petition R-77-26-C by the Collier County Education Association requesting rezoning from "RM-l" to "GRC" for an office on Lots 55-62, Block A, Rock Creek Park, be continued until March 2B, 1978. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wimer absent. 7 bk 41 8 bk 41 March 14, 1978 nID 1300 FOR f[JRNISIlING, DET.IVCRING AND INSTALLING C.P.U.

System and Termi- nal Equipment re Data Processing project. Mr. Fred Marks, Data Processing Director, explained that the lowest bids, as bid, exceeded the available ~EAA funds by approxi- mately $59,000; however, the equipment proposed was reviewed and the items which wore not essential to the initial configuration wore eliminated. The resulting configuration, said Mr. Marks, fell within the available LEAA Grant monies and is in compliance with the rcviscd Grant applications. It was his recommendation that the bids be awarded for the revised configuration as follows: A. ~PU System: Digital Equipment Corporation $157,578 D. Terminal Equipment and Modems: Modems Plus, Inc. $21,550 Continuing, Mr. Marks said that, since this project is to be funded 90\ by an LEAA Grant, the final contract award is contingent upon LEM approval. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and carried 4/0 with Chairman Wimer absent, that Bid '300 for furnishing, delivering and installing C.P.U. System and Terminal Equipment be awarded, as recommended by Mr. Marks and outlined above, and that the Chairman and the Clerk be authorized to sign and attest the resulting Agreements when received.

Concerning water, Mr. Joder re- ferred to the letter from CAC Utilities Inc. of Florida, dated October 27, 1977. estimating the cost for providing the utility to be $13,195, which was included in the bids for construction o~ the building and which will come from the LPW Grant. He said that the easement agreement with Florida Power' Light Company is a standard agreement and has been checKed with the County Attorney, the County Engineer, and the Utilities Director, as has the agroement with GAC, and that there are no objections.

VINC~NT REGAROING A NUISANCE EXISTING IN UNIT 5, NAPLES PARK, BLOCK 56, LOT 16 - DENIED Zoning Director Carl Clemmer stated that a complaint was received May 23, 1977 regarding Mr. Henry Vincent's property, described as Lot 16, Block 56, Naples Park Unit 5. Following an investigation, Mr. Clemmer said, it was determined that a fire hazard existed and Mr. Vincent was so notified and was requested to abate same. No action was taken by the property owner, he con- tinued, so, therefore, on July 25, 1977 the County had the pro- perty mowed by the contractor in that area at a cost of $30 plus Administrative Costs of $10 - total of $40. Mr. Clemmer stated that Mr. Vincent, upon receipt of the Legal Notice of Assessment of Lien, requested a hearing stating that the charge was excessive and unwarranted. Commissioner Wenzel cited an example, related to him via telephone, of similar work being done in approximately 15 minutes, suggesting the possibility of the charge being excessive. Mr. Clemmer reviewed the type of equipment used, the fact that per- haps an excessive amount of debris might have to be removed, and the like, and stated that each lot is a different problem. He said that the contractor works on a unit basis and that there have been no complaints of excessive charges. When asked if the appellant was notified of the hearing, Mr. Clemmer replied in the affirmative. Assistant County Attorney James Siesky noted that there is a receipt on file from the Cer- tified Letter which was sent to Mr. Vincent notifying him that he was to be present at the meeting at 9:15 A.M. this date. Vice- Chairman issued the call for Mr. Vincent and there was no response. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that the appeal by Henry J.

He said that the church has not bcen able to begin the new facility and would like to have the extension granted until May 31, 1979, noting that the staff is recommending the granting of such extension. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that Resolution R-78-J7 granting extension of provisional usa (1) for Tract 85, Unit 29, Golden Gate Estates, as requested in Petition PU-77-J-C by Grace Bible Church, be adopted. In responAe to Commissioner Archer, Dr. Spagna stated that the aforementioned extension is the first one to be requested and that the request is not unusual, that there have been other like extensions granted in other situations.

ILl March 14, 197B RESOLUTION R-78-38 RE PETITION PU-77-20-C BY ROBERT GIMAKIS REQUESTIN::: PROVISIuNAL USE (5) OF "GRC" FOR A RESIDENCE IN CON- JUNCTION WITH A BUSINESS ON A PORTION OF TRACT l, GOODLAND ISLES ADOPTED; AGREEMENT TO STIPULATIONS - ACCEPTED Director of Community Development Dr. Neno Spagna stated that Petition PU-77-20-C is a request by Robert Gimakis for provisional use (5) of the "GRC" district to permit the petitioner to con- struct a residence over a commercial building located in the southern portion of Goodland Isles, referring to the blueprint displayed for exact location of the property.

Public bathrooms and septic tank are required for the bait and tackle shop. 2. The final site drainage plan be submitted to and approved by the County Engineer prior to the issuance of a building permit.

He asked that the landscaping aspects noted on the sketch be disregarded since the requirements for same have been changed since it was prepared. Dr. Spagna explained that the Development Plan approval is a continuance of the TDR permit which was granted to the Deltona Corporation December 6, 1977 and has been reviewed by the staff and by the Coastal Area Planning Commission, adding that it meets all of the requirements for the TDR and, alsc, for the development of the particular parcel of land. Dr. Spagna read the following list of stipulation~ requested by staff and CAPC as part of the recommendation for approval: 1. The Deltona Corporation is hereby cautioned and made aware of the pending TOR court case. This case is currently on appeal to the Circuit Court and an adverse decision in'that case could result in ultimate denial of .their various permits and requests including this petition. 2. The Deltona Corporation' will hllve to submit these plans a long \</i th any other additional information for the county's final review, and approval when ;hey apply for a building permit. . 3. Approval of this petition does not constitute approval of the boat docks shown on plans. Deltona Corpora- tion will have to submit a separate request and follow the regular procedure to qbtain the county's approval for these boat docks. ' 4. Approval of this petition and the construction of' the proposed ~ units will result in the utiliza- tion of .il TOR units out of the originally approved 353 TDR units. . 5. It should be noted that at the time of approval of TDk-77-l-C, there was a great deal'of discussion that the petitioner provide beach access along the southern portion of the property lying west of the north-south access road. L.a .... ... March 14, 1978 No bencl. access is being asked at this time because lhe subject property is located on the bay sido of . the north-Eouth access road. . The requirement for beach access will be considered at: such l:lllle ...s t11e pel:iHollor requtlsL:s app.covill of a site development plan for the gulf front land lying west of the north-Routh accass road. Concerning Stipulation '1, Dr. Spagna said that the attorney for the Deltona Corporation consulted with County Attorney Pickworth and it is their opinion that it is unnecessary and on the basis of that advice requested that the requirement be deleted from the proposed resolution and the Agreement to the stipulations by the petitioner. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 4/0 with Chairman Wimer absent, that Resolution R-7B-39 re Petition SDP-77-B-C by Deltona Corporation requesting Development Plan Approval for a portion of the Clam Bay Project located on part of Tract "F" of Marco Beach Unit 22 be approved subject to the aforementioned staff stipulations, following dele- tion of Stipulation 1, said stipulation being concerned with the pending TDR Court Case; and that the Agreement to stipulations 2, 3, 4 and 5, signed by the petitioner, be accepted. * * * * . * . * * * * 29 bk 41 . --- ....... ..... March 14, 197B Mr. Mike Zcwalk inquired, in the event the Court rules.. against Deltonn, who will be held responsible for approving some- . ' thing not permitted by the courts. Assistant County Attorney James Siesky advised that Deltona has intervened in the case and that the stipulation in question is a superfluous caveat in that Deltona will know as soon as the County knows what the outcome of the case will be, adding that they will be bound just as much as the County by the outcome. As a further response to Mr. Zewa1k, Mr. James Vensel, repre- senting the Deltona Corporation, stated that it is their under- standing that they can proceed with the development, noting that, ObviOUSly, any action they take will be ultimately subject to what the judge says tho resolution of the case should be. Mr. Vensel said that since only the first phase of the development is involved and the density is dependent on an arithmetic combination of build- ing units and acres, and since more acres can be added to it, it is felt that it is not encumbering the court, influencing it one way or the other, by the start of construction of the first phase. BID '293 FOR FURNISHING AND DELIVERING ONE (l) TRACK TYPE LOADER FOR IMMOKALEE LANDFILL - AWARDED TO KELLY TRACTOR COMPANY, MIAMI, FLORIDA, IN THE AMOUNT OF $103.514 WITH MAINTENANCE CONTRACT Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on January 24 and 26, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, bids were received until February 15, 1978 for furnishing and delivering one (1) track type loader for the Imrnokalee Landfill. Purchasing Director Frank wilcox explained that the recom- mendation is to award Bid '293 to the vendor who submitted a total cost purchase proposal - the total cost of the equipment over a period of five years, what it will cost to repair it, and a guaran- tee to repurchase the equipment at the end of five years secured by 33 bk 41 34 bk 41 March l4, 197B i'I performance r?nd. Based on the figures received from the vari- ous vendors, said Mr. Wilcox, the lowest total cost biddor is Kelly Tractor Company, Miami, Florida, of a Caterpillar at a cost of $103,514 with Maintenance Contract, adding that this is a heavy piece of equipment with a lot of maintenance problems. To explain further, Mr. Wilcox stated that the manufacturer is guaranteeing that for the next five years the maintenance and repair costs will not exceed $30,000 - anything over and above th~t amount, the vendor will pay for - that is the maintenance contract. Also, said Mr. Wilcox, the vendor guarantees that at the end of five years, the equipment will be repurchased at a price of $63,000, if the County so desires. I/e said the contract details what the contractor has to do and what the County has to do regarding repairs, stating that they have the right to inspect the vehicle and make recommendations for preventive maintenance. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 4/0 with Chairman Wimer absent, that Bid '293 for furnishing and delivering one (l) track type loader for Immokalee Landfill be awarded to Kelly Tractor Co., Miami, Florida, in the amount of $103,514 including maintenance contract as contained in the recom- mendation of the Bid Review Committee letter dated March 1, 1978, and that the Chairman and the Clerk be authorized to sign and attest the resulting Agreement. BID '294 FOR FURNISHING AND DELIVERING ONE Cl) RUBBER TIRED LOADER FOR NAPLES LANDFILL - AWARDED TO H. F. MASON, FORT HYERS, FLORIDA, IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,352 Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on January 24 and 26, 197B as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, bids were received until February 15, 1978 for furnishing and delivering one CI} rubber tired loader for Naples Landfill. -- ..... ..... Mar.ch 14, 1978 Purchasing Director Frank H. Wilcox said that it is recom- mcnded that Did '294 be awarded to H. F. Mason, Fort Myers, Florida, the low lump-sum bidder, in the amount ot $72,352. He said that six lump-sum bids were received for the equipment, and three total cost bids. The total cost bids were not accepted, said Mr. Wilcox, because when the various bids were submitted under total cost bids, the vendors raised the unit price, with the exception of Kclly Tractor Co. He said that the difference be- tween the initial price and the relatively small cost of repairs, in comparison to the ndditional net price they charged, caused the Did Review Committee to recommend the total lump sum price. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 4/0 with Chairman Wimer absent, that Bid '294 for furnishing and delivering one (1) rubber tired loader for Naples Landfill be awarded to H. F. Mason, Fort Myers, Florida, in the amount of $72,352 net price, as contained in the recommendation of the Bid Review Committee letter dated March l, 197B, and that the Chairman and thc Clerk be authorized to sign and attest the resulting Agreement.

OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND WATER MAIN EX- TENSIONS FOR UTILITY SYSTEMS OPERATED BY THE COUNTY Utility Dircctor Irving Berzon stated there are five proposed ordinances relating to the County's utility system, one of which pertains to adopting the rates, charges and fees for connection to the County's central water service system and deals also with de- posits of installation of meters, methods of bill collection and discrepancy reviews. He further stated the proposed rates are in line with the City of Naples as that is the main objective of the ordinance. Mr. Berzon then pointed out several corrections in the proposed ordinance stating the final draft would be corrected as such. Mr. Berzon went on to say the second ordinance deals with operating rules and rcgulations of County-owned utility systems. Ho pointed out various corrections on this ordinance also. The third ordinance, he said, deals with the policy and pro- cedure for extension of water utility lines and the installation of water supply and treatment facilities by developers. Mr. Berzon stated it is consistent with subdivision requirements and the exist~ ing Ordinance 75-20. ^ few corrections were made on this ordinance. Mr. Berzon stated the fourth and fifth ordinances deal pri- marily with system development charges for the water and sewer system usually referred to as impact fees. In reference to the water ordin~nce, Mr. Berzon said, it is consistent with the City of Naples ordinance and the cost that was developed for the water service is based on the City-County Water Agreement. He stated that Mr. Ted Smallwood, of BlaCk, Crow & Eidsness, had made up a report concerning the cost of construction of the system and it was determined that due to the inflation level, the cost of the construction would increase by 7\ annually. He furthor stated this ordinance fairly complies with the requirements Lj -=- ~ March 14, 1978 set down from the Cjty of Duneedin case with regards to impact fees. ~lr. Derzon stressed the Board is not obligated to adopt this ordi- nance. lIe stated he disagreed with Mr. Smallwood in that the charge should be approximately $595 as compared to Mr. Smallwood's figure of $397 because in 19B2 there will more than likely be a rate in- crease and the higher the charge is now the lower the increase will be at that time. Mr. Ted Smallwood, stated that in his opinion, giving the new customers a credit by having them pay only the $397 fee for system development charge is justified in that they are contributing to the new system as well as supporting the old system that has been in existance. A lengthy discussion was held concerning this matter. Mr. Smallwood stressed the fact that this procedure will have to be reviewed annually and in doing so will determine the rates and credits to be as fair and equitable as possible. Commissioner Archer stated that any charge that is determined he feels it should be backed up as to exactly why that particular amount is determined. ,.. ,.. ,.. ,.. ,.. #I #I #I #I #I #I #I #I #I There being no further businesR for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by order of tho Chair - Time: ll:55 A.M. ,.. #I ,.. ,.. ,.. #I #I #I . . . . . .
