PRoposeD ORDI~^NCE CREATING THE ~~RCO ISLAND LIGHTING DISTRICT _ CONTINUED FOR ONE WEEK Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on April l7, 1978 and in the Marco Island Eagle on April 20, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavits of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider a proposed ordinance creating the Marco Island Lighting District. County Attorney Donald Pickworth explained the proposed ordinance provides the boundaries of the districtl provides a levy of up to 1 mill; and amends Ordinance 12-1. Mr. Harold Hall, Fiscal Officer, explained that as a result of a rate differential between Lee County Co-op and Florida Power & Light, Co., Commissioner Pistor has requested that the Marco Island area of the Collier County Lighting District be set up as a separate lighting district. Commissioner Pistor inquired as to whether the 1 mill cap can be reduced to l/2 mill. Fiscal Officer Hall stated that it is highly unlikely that it would ever go over 1/2 mill, but that it is conceivable for the lighting district to go over the 1/2 mill in an unusual situation for a given year. He stated he has spoken with some people from Marco Island and they are not uncomfortable with the 1 mill cap. In response to Commissioner Pistor's question, Mr. Hall explained the proposed ordinance can be amended at any time, by petition, by \,.---..--- .. .._J ~--j May 9, 1978 thoee people interested in beLlg included in the district. Mr. Ira Evans, resident of Marco ISland, commented that he agrees with the principle of the proposed ordinance; however, the ordinance does not contain an "all-inclusive" description of the boundaries. He suggested the ordinance be passed with an amendment providing that additional properties may be added within the area known as Marco Island. Mr. Leo Tinkham, resident of Marco Island, stated he agrees with Mr. Evans in that an amendment should be made providing for the method of additions to the lighting district. He commented he feels there are some discrepancies in the ordinance pertaining to lot number~. Mr. Tinkham stated he supports very strongly the proposed ordinance with the changes as discussed. Mr. Pickworth commented the Board can pass such amendments now or can do so in the future when entertaining petitions. Mr. Walter FiSCher, President of Marco Island Civic AssOCiation, stated the Association is in favor of the proposed ordinance but that the perimeters should be more clearly defined. There being no other persons registered to speak on the matter, Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that the public hearing be closed. Motion carried unanimously 5/0. Commissioner Pistor moved that the proposed ordinance creating the Marco Island Lighting District be approved with an amendment providing that changes in the boundaries of the district can be m~de by petition of 50%+1 of the people in the area wishing to be included in the lighting district. County Attorney Pickworth suggested that passage of this ordinance be tabled until such time he can re-draft the ordinar.ce to include the proposed amendment as he wants to be very sure of the wording of the amendment. noCK 041 f.\CE592 MOK 041 'ACE 593 May 9, 1978 The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, that the proposed ordinance to create the Marco Island Lighting District be continued for one wee~. The motion carried unanimously 5/0.

ORDINANCE 78-19 RE PETITION NZ-7B-2-C BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 76-30, SECTION 9 _ SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR "ST" AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY (DEFERRED FROM APRIL 25, 1978) - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on Morch lS, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of PUblication pre- viously filed with the Clerk, public hearing was continued for Petition NZ-78-2-C by the Planning Department requesting an amend- ment to Ordinance 76-30/ Section 9 - Special Regulations for "ST" areas of Environmental Sensitivity. Dr. Neno Spagna, Director of Community Development, explained the public hearing for this petition was continued from April 25, 1978 and since that time the CAPC had met and re-supported their recommendation to the Board that Draft '4 of the amendment be approved. He stated that at the meeting of April 25, 1978, peltona had requested an amendment to Draft .4 allowing up to 30\ for Transfer Development Rights for "ST" lands zoned other than "A" to which the CAPC is opposed. Mr. Paul Lees, resident of Everglades City, spoke in OPposition to the proposed Draft .4 as well as the whole concept of TDR. MGK 041 ~~GE 594 80CK 041 rACE 595 May 9, 1978 Mr. Mike Zewalk, North Naples Civic Association, spoke in favor of the Draft '4 without Deltona's proposed amendment. Mr. Arnold Lawrence, resident of Marco Island, s~oke in favor of Draft '4 without Deltona's proposed amendment. Mr. Jim Vensel, Vice-President of Deltona, spoke in favor of tho proposed amendmcnt to Draft #4. In answer to Commissioner Wenzel's question, he stated it might be difficult to obtain a variance from Draft '4 as from what he understands, variances are usually granted for hardship cases. Mr. Jim Apthorp, Vice-Presiuent of Deltona, urged the Commissioners to consider what the Draft '4 and proposed amendments purpose is. It is, he said, to encourage owners of environmentally sensitive lands to transfer their developmental rights. Mr. Apthorp commented that Deltona is n0t trying to amend the Draft .4 to fit their needs exactly rather when "ST" zoning is placed on previously-zoned land, an added incentive Rhould be given to the TOR from land that was previously zoned; 30\ representing approximately six units per .acre under most Multi-Family zoning. Mr. Apthorp stated that with a lO-20\ limitation on receiving lands, it tends to destroy the purpose of the ordinance and is inconsistent with its fundamental purpose. Mr. Apthorp suggested the Board accept Deltona's proposed amendment with the stipulation that anytime De1tona desired to utilize the 30\ development rights it would be required to come before the Board in a public hearing. Ms. Marion DeForest, League of Women Voters, spoke in favor , of Draft '4 but opposed the provision stating that the review and/or approval of all required local, state, and federal permits may be processed concurrently with the review and approval of the site alteration plan, or separately as the case may warrant. The League feels that land use should be determined first at the lowest May 9, 1978 level of government capable of making such a decision. The League also Opposed Deltona's proposed amendment. Mr. Walter FisCher, President of Marco ISland Civic Association, spoke in favor of Draft 14 without Deltona's proposed amendment. Ms. Ninette Peterson, Naples Civic Association, supported Draft .4 stating she feels that the 20\ transfer rights is adequate and opposes Deltona's amendment. Mr. Elbert Tripp, President of Marco Island Taxpayer's Associa- tion and member of Marco Island Civic ASSociation, spoke in favor of Draft 14 without Deltona's proposed amendment. Mr. Earle JOhnson, Coastal Area Planning Commission, stated the CAPC is definitely in favor of the 10-20\ limitation. Mr. Willar? Merrihue, Collier County Conservancy, recommends the passing of Draft 14 as presented. Mr. Bernie YOKel, Collier County Conservancy, spoke in favor of Draft '4 in that it is applicable to the whole County and stated that pOEsibly further revisions may be necessary. Mr. Yokel also stated that he does not feel that De1tona should be considered a special problem and does not approve of their proposed amendment. Mr. Ira Evans, resident of Marco Island, spoke in favor of Draft 14 without Deltona's proposed amendment and commented this is the first time such an ordinance has had almost unanimous approval of the community. There being no other persons registered to speak on this matter, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that the public hearing be closed. Motion carried unanimously 5/0. A brief discussion was held among the Board members pertaining to the provision in Draft '4 that will not require an individual to have a public hearing when transferring development rights. Chairman Wimer stated he feels that each case inVOlving transferring development rights should be reviewed individually. "~.V n,11 ..~~r:;:G~ eO~K 041 'ACE 597 May 9, 1978 Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, that the proposed ordinance re Petition NZ-78-2-C by the Planniog De- partment requesting an Amendment to Ordinance 76-30, Section 9 _ Special Regulations for "ST" areas of environmental sensitivity, with public hearings being held for all applicants by the CAPC, be adopted. Dr. Spagna commented that any decision of such a matter should be made by the Board of County Commissioners and not the CAPC and suggested the ordinance be amended to state that all site development plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners County Attorney Pickworth stre3sed that any such amendment made to the ordinance should be drafted and reviewed by the Board, the Planning Commission, tho Planning Director, and himself. Commissioner Wenzel withdrew the motion and Commissioner Pistor his second. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, that the proposed ordinance re Petition NZ-78-2-C by the Planning De- partment requesting an amendment to Ordinance 76-30, Section 9 _ Special Regulations for "ST" areas of environmental senSitiVity be adopted. Dr. Spagna commented that changes Can be made at the 6-month review of the ordinance if desired by the Board at that time. He stated that Deltona's proposed amendment would be applicable to approximately 100 acres of land on Marco Island and 600-800 acres of land scattered throughout the rest of Collier County and that he does not think it is "intolerable" but that he is not recommending the amendment. Commissioner Brown commented he cannot vota for the adoption of the ordinance as recommended by the CAPe. Commissioner Pistor commented that since the zoning regulations will be up for review in six months, by which time the CAPC should have clearer suggestions for revision, he suggested passing this ordinance to "try it out" and gain experience with the ordinance. May 9, 1978 Commissioner Archer questioned the 10\ and 20\ fIgures recom- mended by the staff. He stated he feels there has been no consider- ation given to the carrying capacity of the receiving land and has seen nothing technical to back up these figures. . , Chairman Wimer voiced his approval of the proposed ordinance RS he feels it is an improvement over the present ordinance. Upon call for the question, the motion carried 4/1, Commissioner Brown dissenting, with a roll call vote, whereupon the ordinance as numbered and titled below was adopted and entered in Ordinance Book 8.

He stated the Division of Communications is not in favor of the multiplex Telemetry System but will approve the duplex system. Mr. Barnett stated the multiplex systQm will cost approximately $120,000. He further stated the basic plan is for American Ambulance to carry four units as they cover most of the population and eventually supply Immokalee and the fire stations with the system. The matching funds that is the County's share will amount to approximately $41,853.00, he said. Mr. Barnett stressed the emergency room doctor is the key to this issue as it will be their license liable if anything goes wrong. Referring to the fact the Division of Communications prefers the duplex system, Mr. Barnett commented that most likely the County would be re- quired to change over to the multiplex system within 4 or 5 years. Commissloner Archer moved that the Board ~uthorize the staff and the ~MS Council to make application for the grant and the County be ccmmitted for the funds to support the grant at which time Chairman Wimer interjected to comment that the key to the issue has not been decided, which is the director. Chairman Wimer stated he would fcel more "comfortable" if this matter was sent back to the EMS Council and specifics worked out. The motion died for lnck of a second. A brief discussion was held concerning the procedure of acquiring a medical director according to state statutes and the duties of such a director. Dr. Gunnard Antell, Director of the Health Department, commented that the director must be ~ualified ~OOK 041 rACE 622 BOOK 041 rACE 623 May 9, 1978 in life-suppo.;t situations whic~ requires a physician who has worked in emergency-room situations, a highly specialized field. Dr. Bishop, emergency room physician, quoted Bill 401 passed by the legislature sayi..lg that any EMS system employing the use of paramedics to perform life-support systems must employ a medical director and went on to explain the qualifications and duties. i1r. Jack Maguire, American Ambulance, referrinq to the same Re~tlon of Bill 401 stated it will be the responsibility of American Ambulance to hire such a director. Chairman Wimer commented he cannot make a decision based on the information presented and again suqqested it be referred back to the EMS Council and come back to the Board with details. Dr. Louis Nightingale, Chairman of the Health and Safety CommJ..tee on Marco Island, commented that time is of the essence in this matter as Marco Island will probably not have their own hospital within the next 5-10 years and that the Telemetry System will be the next best thing. It was the consensus of the Board that the concept be approved and Chairman Wimer directed it be referred back to EMS Council to be worked out in detail and brouqht back before the Board for final approval. Walter Fischer, Jane Hittler, and Elbert Tripp all expressed their support of the Telemetry System. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ReceSs from 12:22 P.M. until 2:03 P.M. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t.... .... J May 9, 197B APPEAL OF CJNTRACTORS' LICENSING BOARD DECISION RE SIDNEY & SAM HUBSCHMAN -- ACTION DEFERRED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY CONTRACTORS' LICENSING BOARD Assistant County Attorney Jim Siesky presented information to tho Board concerning the history of the present Contractors' Licensing Ordinance. He stated that Sam & Sidney Hubschman have applied for a Class A General Contractors' License under the grand- father provision of Ordinance 7B-2 which requires ten years of experience in the trade for which application is made. Mr. Siesky commented it is the opinion of the Contractors' Licensing Board that the lIubschmans had evidenced ten years experience in Collier County in the trade of Residential Contractor but h^d not evidenced ten years experience as a Class A General Contractor; therefore the CLB voted to issue the :Iubschmans Residential Contractors' Licenses and at which time informed the Hubschmans that if further evidence is presented substantiating their claim to ten years experience as a Class A General Contractor or as a Building Contractor, the level of their competency card will be increased. Mr. Siesky commented the objective of this matter is to create a legally defensible ordinance which can be maintained. He further suggested the Board either deny the appeal made by the Hubschmans or amend the present ordinance to permit further grandfathering with a new time period. Mr. George Vega, attorney representing the HUbschmans, commented that the records for Building permits are not easily ascertainable as f~r back as lO years. He stated a permit dated 1969 for electrical work on a metal building is on record but the original building permit could not be located. Mr. Glenwood Morrison, Building Department, recalled that he possibly made inspection on that particular building in 1968 but could not be sure. MCl< 041 r.\CE 624 ~OO1< 041 rACE 6(.:5 May 9, 1978 Mr. Vega stated his clients feel this building was built in 1966 as Mr. lIubschman's son-in-law has contested that he had seen the erected building in 1967. Mr. Siesky commented that if evidence could be presented which would prove the fact that the Hubschmans supervised the construction, there would be no problem. County Attorney Donald Pickworth inquired a. to whether this information was presented to the Contractors' Licenping Board. Mr. Vega commented that this information could not be found in the Building Department records, that is, the original building permit, again referring to the electrical permit dated 1969 saying this is the earliest record of that particular buildinq. Chairman Wimer commented that since this information is bcing prescnted for the first time today, this matter should be rcferred back to the Contractors' Licensing Board for their con- sideration. Mr. Sicsky stated this case can be referred to Raymond Dulaney, Building Administrator, for consideration and if he is satisfied it need not go back to the Contractors' Licensinq Board. Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, that this case be deferred and referred to the Building Administrator for consideration of the above mentioned information who is authorized to issue the Class A and/or B license if satisfied with the new information; if not, the Building Administrator may dircct this matter again before the Contractors' Licensing Board and if they again deny the issuance of the license, the matter is to come again before the Board of County Commissioners on appeal. Motion carried unanimously 5/0. Commissioner Archer suggested that a workshop be scheduled in order for the Board to discuss the various problems being L_.~..J 1--J May 9, 1978 encocntered by the Contractors' Licensing Board. County Attorney Pickworth suggested it might be better for the Contracting Licensing Board to workRhop their problems among themselves and try to correct existing problems and if any additional help is needed, they can workshop with the Board . , of County Commissioners. Mr. Wade Schroeder, City Council, suggested that if the Board does workshop this matter, it would be wise to contact George Patterson, City Manager, to attend the meeting as licenses issued in the County are recognized in the City and vice ven.a. LETTER TO DE SENT TO MR. ED WILSON, OF EMS, HRS, TALLAHASSEE, RE BOARD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPOSED TELEMENTRY PROGRAM AND REQUEST THAT GRANT MONIES BE HELD FOR THE:.! UNTIL DETAILS ARE WORI<ED OUT Referring to the item on Telemetry, Fisoa1 Offioer Harold Hall stated that funds were allocated by HRS in Tallahassee for this fiscal year and if the Board desires to use these funds, the grant application needs to be filled out and processed for approval. Chairman Wimer suggested a letter be sent stating the Board's conceptual approval of the proposed Telemetry System and request that the grant monies be held until details are worked out A brief discussion was held concerning the Board's supplying the matching funds for this program. Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor, that the Chairman be authorized to sign a letter to be sent to Ed Wilson, Acting Assistant Administrator of EMS, fiRS in Tallahassee, informing him of the Board's interest in the Telemetry Program and request that grant monies be held until details are worked out.
