YARD VARIANCE FOR LOTS 3, 4 & 5, LESS THE N 100' OF LOT 5, BAY~R CARROLL
POINT, BLOCK A, VANDERBILT BEACH AREA - PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED UNTIL
SEPTE1'IBER 19, 1978
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Star on August 18,
1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed ~7ith tnp. Clerk,
pubiic hearinB Nas opened to consider Petition V-78-21-C by Paul Stiger,
Vanderbilt West Corp., for a side y~rd variance for Lots 3,4 & 5, less
the N 100' of Lot 5, Baker Carroll Point, Block A, Vanderbilt Beach Area.
Zoning nirector Carl Clemmer explained the petitioner wishes to
obtain a north and south side yard setback variance to enable him to
construct two seventy-two unit apartment buildings; however, in ana-
lyzing this property and applying the necessary criteria to determine
a need for a variance, it was discovered that one building can be located
in the northwest corner within the coastal construction setback line
and the north side yard setback line and the other building can be
located in the southeast corner within the front setback line and the
south side setback line. In this way, the distance between buildings
will conform to the regulation. Mr. Clemmer recommended that the two
buildings he relocated as described above and the petition be continued
to allow the petitioner to submit a new site plan which will conform
with the regulations.

Hr. James Irwin of Reynolds, Smith & Hills Architects and
Engineers, representing Vanderbilt Hest Corp., stated that if the
two buildings ar~ placed as the Zo~ing Director recommends, it places
one building in back of the other and is not desirable, from a
marketing standpoint, and would also place both buildings facing the sun.
Mr. Clemmer referred to a visual map to point out the location of
th(! buildings.
County Attorney Pickwort"l corranented that "marketability" is not
a criteria in establishing the need for a variance but it may be taken
into consideration.
Mr. Michael Moore, Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners' Association,
stnted thp. property owners are very concerned about open space in
reference to buildings and accessory structures.
Chairman Pis tor suggested the petitioner and the Zoning Director
Hork together on the matter and try to come up with a compromise.
Commissioner Archer moved, seco~ded by Commissionp.r Brown and
carrted unanimously 5/0, that the public hearing be continued until
September 19, 1978.

MILLION DOLLAR REVENUE BOND ISSUE - PRIORITY LIST APPROVED AS SUB-
MITTED BY COUNTY ENGINEER .

of the most recent priority list for the Secondary Road Program.
He also recommended a list of priorities to be 1nr:1uded in the
Ten Million Dollar Bond Issue (5th and 6th Cent Gasoline Tax) which
is estimated to fund most of the projects on the list. Mr. Barksdale
noted that the Bond Issue will not cover all the priorities on the

mitting the work for the 4-laning of Golden Gate Parkway from Airport

PETITION PU-78-14-C, MILESTONE YOUTH HOME, REQUESTING PROVISIONAL USE
(5) OF THE ESTATES DISTRICT FOR A YOUTH HOME IN SEC. 8, T50S, R26E,
LOCATED ON COPE LANE ON THE EAST SIDE OF COUNTY BARN ROAD - CONTINUED
FOR TWO \-lEEKS
Dr. Neno Spagna, Director of Community Development, stated the
petitioner wishes to establish a home-type situation for youths with
minor offenses such as curfew violations, runaways, etc. He further
stated the CAPC, on August 17, 1978, re~ornmended approval of the peti-
tion with a 4/3 vote and there is public objection to the petition,
mo:t1y the residents on Cope Lane. Dr. Spagna commented there are very
few residents in the immediate area.
Mr. Richard Schneider, Milestone Youth Home Director, explained
the proposed home will temporarily house a maximum of 10 boys and girls,
ages 11 to 17, who are in need of supervision. He noted these children
will most likely be referred to him by Health and Rehabilitative
Services as well as private citizens. Mr. Schneider stated the home
&GC.( 043 r~::244
eDC~ 043 p~~~ 245
September 5, 1978
will be supervised with two live-in ho~se par~nts, a Director and
secretary and th~ location on COP& Lane was selected al!l the site
for the home due to the size (5 acres), price and general location
of the area. He further stated the project will be funded by the
State as well as private donations and stressed that the children
that will be housed there are not criminal types, rather children
who are experiencing problems in the home and his proposed home is
not a detention center of any kind.
Deputy Chief Raymond Barnett commented that many of the children
will probably be victims of child abuse.
Mr. George King, Cope Lane resident, stated he had recently
moved from another section of Naples to Cope "Lane due to the fact hj s
home was vandalized and burglarized several times by juveniles and
objected to the fact the proposed home is so close to his new one.
Russ Mase, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, stated this project
would definitely benefit the community as the children will receive
24-house supervision while they are there. He also commented it is
better for R minor to have such a place to be referred to rather
than to be sent to a detention center for truancy, for example, and be
among criminal types.
118. Carol Schneider, Director of Christian Education at First
Presbyterian Church, spoke in support of the project, and commented
that no matter where the proposed home is bUilt, neighbors would create
opposition to the children being there.
l1r. John Cope, Cope Lane resident, stated he is representing
approximately nine of his neighbors opposing the petition.
Mr. Charles Keller, County Barn Road resident submitted petitions
from residents of Cope Lane, County Barn Road, Wendy Way and Cynthia
Way, all objecting to the project.

September 5, 1978
Mr. 'valter Howe, MY Hom~, stated the reason Cope Lane was
selected as the home site was due to the fact it is a remote neighbo~-
hood. He spoke in support of the project.
Clerk William Reagan noted the receipt of five (5) letters all
in support of the project.
Mr. Lewis Bal1and, Cope Lane resident, noted his opposition.
Chairman Pis tor commented that an institution such as the one
being proposed is badly needed in Collier County.
Commissioner tvenzel commented that the CA1~ may have been misled
,~ith regards to the fact of the number of residents in the area and
suggested it be reviewed again by the CAPC.
Mr. Schneioer presented a visual map to point out the location
of the proposed home and the present residences. He stated the road
is state-owned leased to an individual. Mr. Schneider noted the Fire
Department had approved the petition and the road is ample enough for
tl>.'O vehicles nt one titne. He stressed there are no plans for future
accommodation of more than 10 children as that would defeat the purpose
of the program, noting that the supervisors would not be able to con-
centrate much of their attention on 25-30 children, for example.
Commissioner Brown movp.d for approval of the petition. Motion
died for lack of a second.
Chairman Pis tor noted the p9titioner has agreed to certain stipu-
lations, one of which is the facility shall be used for minor youth
offenders only which would include, but not be limited to curfew
violators, runaways, etc. and any change in use shall be cause for
review of the petition as for a new petition.
Mr. Cope stated the road was dedicated to the County for public
access.
Commissioner Wimer suggested the matter be cleared up as to who
owns the road and requested the Engineering Department determine such.

the matter be continued for two weeks. Motion carried 4/1, Commissioner
Brown dissenting.
Commissioner Wenzel stated he would like the CAPC to review
the petitions submitted. Chairman Pistor directed that the County
Manaecr advise the CAPC of the matter and possibly have a member of
the Board also get together with the individuals involved.

STIPULATED IN PUD DOCUMENT - TRUST DEED ACCEPTED AND RECORDED*
Mr. Bill Vines, representing P&rk Shore, stated the final plat
for Unit #5 is ready for the Board's approval. Chairman Pis tor
noted, referring to minutes dated December 7, 1976, that the developer
had inferred he Hould pay for the construction and connection of
Gulf Shore Bou1everd to Seagate Drive. Mr. Vines commented that the
Board has never definitely approved such a project, noting that he
does recall a traffic study being undertaken to determine the traffic
load.
County }tanager Norman stated that all information has not yet
come from the EngineerinR Department concerning the plat Rpprova1
and the matter is not ready for a recommendation.
Ilr. Clark Nichols, attorney for Park Shore, stated that many
years ago, the then Board of Commissioners accepted the Seagate plat
for recording and allowed for a "spike" strip keepinp, adjoining
property olvners from tying in with other developments and stated it
should not he suggested that the developer should solve and pay for a
situation for which the government is responsible.
Nr. Vines pointed out the final plat is designed to accommodate
the connection if and when the Board approves such and noted that the
approval of the final plat does not jeopardize anything to do ~1ith
the connection.
~r. Scott LutRert, dev~lo~er, stated he does not recall ever
having made a commitment to funding the construction of the conn~cti~n
of Gulf Shore Boulevard but if it is listed as a condition in the PUD
docUQent he will honor it.
Commissioner Archer commented he cannot recall anyone having
made any sort of commitment for the connection of the roads.
Dr. Neno Spagna, Director of Community Development, stated that,
to his knowledge, the final plat meets with all the conditions of the
pun document and he recommends approval.

BO^RD AUTHORIZES TAKING OF BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE AND
}~INTENANCE BUILDING FOR THE PARKS & RECPBATION DEPART~mNT
County Manager C. Hilliam NO:'!:'.E.r1 explained that the Board
authorized the selection of a consultant on June 6. 1978 to prepare
construction plans and specificatio~s for a storage and mainten~nce
facility for the Parks & Recreation Department. Mr. Norman said
that subsequent to that action, Parks & Recreation Director Rollie
Rice contacted metal building suppliers and obtained basic building
plans and specifications from one of those suppliers which can become
the basis for taking bids. He said that the Purchasing Director
will work with departmental staff to insure that no potential supplier
will be "closed out". Mr. Norman said that he has conferred with
Engineer Clifford Barksdale regarding the future plans for the
pertinent property and it has been determined that the building has
'.', 043 '-'.~':' 252
b:,C,; 043 fL~~ 253
September 5, 1978
been incorporated into t~e future plans for the property and that
provision for utilities and drainage have been made. It was Mr.
Norman'3 recommendation that bids be solicited recognizing that
the project w111 be paid for from the $5,000,000 Bond Issue and that
it is part of the preliminary list of priorities for that issue which
the Board has previously approved. Also, said Mr. Norman, it is con-
tained in the Capital Improvement Budget for the next year.
Commissioner Wenzel recalled that when the matter of the new
voting machines was discus8e~and if the decision was made to go
into a new system, the space formerly occupied by the voting machines
would be available for use by the Parks Department. Mr. Norman stated
that he has been advised by County Engineer Barksdale that this
space would be needed for expansion of the Road De~artment.
COTTIr.lissionf'r t..r"nze1 ~otc~. trat he is in favor of a Tncta1 building,
cOl'1lT1entinp' that the project does not t'~arrant hiring an architpct and
and engineer, and the like; bids can he obtained from the suppliers.
Commissioner ^rcher, ohserving that the recommendation is to
solicit bids and that a determination can be made at a later time ~s
to whether or not to expend the funds for this purpose, moved that
the County l'!anap,er be authorized to advertise for bids for the con-
struction of a storaRc and maintenance facility for the Parks and
Recreation nepartment. Commissioner tUrner seconded the motion which
aJrried 5/0.
Commissioner Wenzel advised that there are at least four companies
that he is aHare of who manufacture this type of building and said
that at least those four should be contv~ted.

RESOLUTION CWS-78-1 AMENDING RESOLUTION CWS-77-11 RE SEPTIC TANK
SLUDGE DISPOSAL - ADOPTED
Utility Director Irving Berzon requested that the Board adopt
a proposed resolution, amending Resolution CWS-77-11 regarding septic
tank sludge disposal, authorizing a change in time and days of dis-
posal of subject material. He said the reason for the change is that
the Department of Environmental Regulation has agreed to rec!.assify
the plant in North Naples from a "B" plant to a "c" plant which
permits the operating hours of the plant to be decreased to a 40-hour,
5-day operation which will have a significant effect on the cost of
the operation.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that
Resolution ClvS-78-1 amending Resolution CWS-77-11 with regard to a
change in time and days of disposal of septic tank sludge snd grease
trap residue be adopted.
Commissioner Wimer inquired about the affect the curtailment
of the Saturday operation will have on individual operators with
Mr. Berzon responding that the average number of users coming in
on Saturdays is two or maybe three at the most and the problem will
be to get those persons to work within the new schedule.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous
vote of 5/0 and the following Resolution was adopted.

Dawkins introduced his associate, Ar:hur Finney, whom he said has been
working in the field of utilities fo~ twenty-eight years, adding that
he has an engineering degree from the University of Florida.
Mr. Finney outlined what his firm believes to be those steps
necessary to establish the value of :he Capri Hater Works utility,
namely, very early in the study, they would define the work scope,
the service area, and the source of :he data, coordinating same with
the County staff. He said it is his understanding that there are
some plans of the systero in existence; however, if such plans are not
available, or arc incomplete, work .....ou1d be done in the field to
determinc the source of the data. Following this, the component parts
of the systcm would be defined - the plant, the mains, size and lengthl
of mains, meters, storage facilities, and the like.
Continuing, Mr. Finney said the: the condition of the system
\Vould be defined, follmoling ,,,hich e ~eplacement cost for the sys tern
\"otlld be determined based on the cor::?onent parts previously defined
and evaluated, adding that at this point, a value would be placed
on the utility. The utility's financial records would be reviewed,
said Mr. Finney, rates established, operating costs determined, and
discussions held with the County's Fiscal Officer with regard to the
County's bonding capacity
Mr. Finney said that all phases 1"ould be reviewed periodically
with the County and stated that the staff of the firm of Dawkins and
Associates believes it has the experience to fu1fu11 the purpose of

mately ninety days.

JAMES MONTGOMERY
Mr. Glen Humphrey, Consulting Englneer, stated that the
Montgomery firm :s a consulting enpineering firm primarily engaged
in municipal and public water and wastewater facilities. He
introduced Mr. Larry Kesting, an associate, for the purpose of
outlining the approach the firm would take in appraising and eval-
uating the Capri water system.
Mr. Keating said that the firm would combine nationally-known
stability and expertise and South Florida knowledge and experience
which will enable the County to confidently proceed on decisions
regarding the possible purchase and funding for the Capri system.
lie said that the system is not monumental - there is no need for
a large number of PH.n's for the project. He said that the tirm
has done a tremendous number of this type appraisal over the years,
noting that the firm has an excellent history of stable, reliable
service, and has never been involved in bankruptcy proceedings, and
is proud of tts record of having done over $1,500,000,000 in con-
struction projects. He said that they have gone through so 'nany
projects throughout the years that there have been involvements in
litigationi however, the firm's insurance carriers have never had
to pay a claim despite the many years the firm has been in business
and the volumc of that business.
Mr. Keating used a series of slides to describe some of the
representative projects on which the firm has worked, including
feasibility studies, appraisals, and financial and rate studies.
Mr. Keating outlined the personnel who would be working on the
proj ec t and the funcUons each 1"ould be performing in order to
arrive at a reliable conclusion and, to make sure that the firm
is not "off base" in any aspect, the results will be reviewed by
a technical committee.
Conce~ning the timetable for completion of the project, Mr.
Keating said that it could probably be done in less than two
months. In response to Chairman Pistor. Mr. Keating said that
portions of the pipe in the various areas will be checked and/or
tested, as well as the storage tanks,
The rcpresentatives of James l!ontgomery expressed their
appreciation for the opportunity to make their presentation.
POST, BUCKLEY, SCHUH & JERNIGAN, INC.
Mr. Bob Wright, representing the firm, stated that he works out
of the Fort Myers office of the firm and expressed the firm's
appreciation for the opportunity to compete for the project of ap-
praising and evaluating the Capri ~~ater Works. He distributed hand-
books which he said were essentially a duplication of the charts
which will be displayed during his presentation. He said that the
firm has done forty or more studies similar to the work envisioned
for the project under discussion and of those studies, at least ten
were appraisal and evaluation studies that would 1p.ad tO~Tard the
acquisition of a private utility system by a municipal form of
government.
Mr. Wright provided brief resumes of the team that '~ould be
working on the proj ect if the firm is selected, and who ~:ou1d
complete a well-rounded evaluation of the system in all aspects _
operation, maintenance, engineering and financial. He said that
the project would be totally "in-house" and listed what is felt to
be the major work elements in the study of the system, including
inventory and life expectancy of said inventory, technical evaluation,
dollar evaluation, financial analysis, and the preparation of the
finnl report.

September 5. 1978
In response to Convnissioner Archer, Hr. l'!right said that some
of the information is avai1eb1e from previous work done with regard
to the l!astcr Plan project; however, the big item lacking is that a
dollar value was never placed on it nor were decisions made as to
what was needed to upgrade the syst~m, if necessary, to tie in with
the County system. ReRarding the time frame involved, Mr. Wright
said that if the records are good and with ~he data already in hand,
the maximum for completion would be two months.
Commissioner Archer inquired if any of the information obtained
by the firm as a result of the Master Water Study has been made
available to the County. Utility Director Berzon stated that the
final results were provided; however, in his opinion, the material
is no where near what is needed for the overall appraisal and evaluation.
STANLEY H. HOLE [. ASSOCIATES
Mr. Stanley Hoke, President, Stanley W. Hole [. Associates,
expressed appreciation to the Board for permitting the firm to be
represented and noted that he was accompanied by Mr. Art Charloff,
Business Manager of the firm, who handles the financial end of the
appraisals. Mr. Hole noted his recent presentation to the Board in
connection with the Marco Island project and stated that. in his
opinion, there is no need to make a lurther detailed presentation.
Ilopcver, supplementary to that presentation, Mr. Hole said that the
ap~raisal will be conducted in strict accordance with EPA guidelines.
Another matter which was brought out during the previous presentation,
said Mr. Hole. is the matter of grants and he stated that the firm
hAS ohtained a copy of the Federal l.,rater Pollution Control Act which
outlines the ~rants ~vhich are available and how they can be ohtained
",hien he p,ave to the Chairman. Also, continued Mr. Hole, in addition
to the detailed report of the enRineering activities which was pre-
sented. the fiscal approach to the project was briefly mentioned and
sll~r-es tee! that if there were any questions the Board ,,,ou1d like answered,
l'lr, Chilrloff was present to respond to them.
Chairman Pistor, ohservin~ that Mr. Hole's firm is a local firm
and that is has done other work for the County, inquired if Mr. Hole
is familiar with the Capri Water Works. Mr. Hole responded in the
affirmative stating that the firm had to conduct its own evaluation
fo~ a project and it was found that the utility was reliable 'or that
project.
Responding to COlnmissioner Brown, Mr. Hole speculated that the
project would take four months to complete. And, in answer to Com-
missioner Wenzel, Mr. Hole responded that all of the firm's employees
reside in the County.
Mr. Hole concluded his presentation by expressing the firm's
desire to work for the County, noting they have worked for the County
in the past and that they are good clients. and also stating that of
the list of five firms chosen by the review committee 8S being
qualified, his firm is the only local firm determined to be technically
qualified and that if makes sense to do business with a local firm.
