Zoning Director Carl Clemmer explained that the public hearing was continued from September 5, 1978 at which time the petitioner and his representatives were directed to meet with the Vanderbilt Beach Pr<~erty Owners Association and staff in an attempt to work out a placement of the buildings so that no variance would be necessary. ~lr. Clemmer said that the meeting was held and three different concepts were devised by those in attendance and the one selected and concurred with by the Vanderbilt Beach representatives was the one suggested initially and brought to the Board for approval two weeks previously, said variance to be 28' on the two side lines. Mr. Clemmer said, following that recommendation, it is being requested that the variance be approved as contained in the petition, In response to Commissioner Wenzel's inquiry, Mr. Clemmer said that the plan has been agreed to by all parties. ., Mr. Clemmer referred to the plans displayed on the corkboard to illllstrate the proposed plan and the suggested alternatives, pointing out the objections voiced to the alternate proposals. He said that the original design meets all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with the exception of the variance which is being requested, Mr. James Irwin of Reynolds, Smith & Hills, representing the developer, offered no further comments to the statements made by Mr. Clemmer. ~;:'. 043 Po'.:.: 548 . . .... ~. .. . :.: ~~s;:;..."~~?~%.;~i(.~':: ;;.:~~ :., ~'::;'~~,'Z{:~A~''!-'l}:;,"~,:~':J: ~.: .. ,. ~ . :,' . ,.. ... ........ ... . ~ ...

Commissioner Wimer inquired if there could be buildings placed upon the property without a variance with Mr. Clemmer responding in the affirmative, following which the Commissioner inquired if the petition has been reviewed to ascertain if it meets the criteria for a variarlce. Assistant County Attorney Dillon noted that he has not reviewed it and could not state with certainty as to whether or not County Attorney Pickworth has done so. Commissioner Wimer expressed his concern over possibly becoming lax with regard to the granting of variances. Following additional brief discussion, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, that Resolution R-78-145 re Petition V-78-21-C by Paul Stiger, Vanderbilt West Corp., requesting side yard variance for certain lots in Baker-Carroll Point, Block A, Vanderbilt Beach area, be adopted. The motion carried 3/2 with Commissioners Wimer and Pistor voting in the negativa. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * r-l 1 I September 19, 1978 PETITION V-78-23-C BY GAYLORD JONES REQUESTING SETBACK VARIANCE TO ALLOW A SWIMMING POOL ON LOT 19, BLOCK C, BIG CYPRESS GOLF ESTATES AND COUNTRY CLUB - PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 26, 1978 " Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on September 1, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider pet.ition V-78-23-C by Gaylord Jones requesting setback variance to allow a swimming pool on Lot 19, Block C, Big Cypress Golf Estates and Country Club. Zoning Director Carl Clemmer stated that the staff has reviewed the considerations for variance petitions and arrived at the conclusi< that by denying the variance would deprive the applicant of a reason- able use of his land and deny him privileges which are enjoyed by oth( in the sUbject subdivision. It is the recommendation by staff, said Mr. Clemmer, that the variance request of 5' be granted. Mr. E. J, Kidd, Jr., Kidd Construction Company, representing the petitioner, explained that the subject lots were subdivided approxilnat fifteen years ago at a time when the desire was for smaller homes than at present which is one reason the lot is non-conforming and a varianc is being requested. He noted that a variance has been approved in the same block for another property owner so, therefore, a precedent would not be established in this particular block. Mr. Lloyd Sarty, member of the Board of the Country Club of Naple noted that a previous variance had been granted in this same area and a swimming pool constructed practically on the Club's golf course, and suggested that prior to any further similar decisions being made the Club should have a chance for review of same. Mr. Clemmer, in response to Chairman pistor's inquiry, said that the Country Club was not notified oi the petition1 however, the Property Owners Association of Big Cypress Estates, Inc. viewed the plans and recommended that the variance be approved.

Com- missioner Wenzel seconded the motion. Mr. Sarty stated that the Country Club Board would discuss the matter prior to the aforementioned date. Upon call for the question the motion to continue the public hearing was carried unanimously 5/0. ORDINANCE 78-47 CREATING THE NAPLES PARK LIGHTING MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING DISTRICT - ADOPTED Prior to the start of the public hearing regarding the proposed Ordinance, Chairman Pistor requested a legal opinion as to whether or not the statutes require the reading of ordinances in their entirety, noting that there have been news articles pUblished stating that there is a new State law in this regard. Assistant County Attorney Dillon advised that he has researched the matter and cannot find where the Statutes have been amended, OL the like, and said that the only place where it is reqyired that proposed ordinances be read is in municipalities. Legal notice having been published ir. the Naples Daily News on August 31, 197B as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing w~s opened to consider a proposed ordinance creating the Naples Park Lighting Municipal Service Taxing District. County Engineer Barksdale stated that the Naples Park Area Assocation has requested the Board to form a street lighting district for the Naples Park area. He said the area involved is bounded by lllth Street on the north, U.S. 41 on the east, 91st Street on the south, and Vanderbilt Drive on the west - Naples Park Units 1 through 6. ~lr. Barksdale said that the request is for underground wiring and concrete poles, which are more expensive I however, the costs were ....-., September 19, 1978 presented to the Association at t.heir meeting of July 27, 1978 and, by motion, the Association voted to formally request the creation of the district, including underground wiring and concrete poles. The estimated millage for the first year, said Mr. BarkSdale, is 1,018 mills, adding that the service will not begin until October 1, 1979 Wllich conforms with the legal requirement for creating the district whereby the service would not be provided until an approved budget has been prepared and included in the coming year's millage. Mr. Barksdale recommended approval of the project. Mr. Karl Corley, Naples Park resident and President of the Naples Park Area Association, stated that the Association, as a group, did not vote for the project because the Association is larger than Naples PlIrk, noting that it includes Vanderbilt Beach and some other areas; " however, petitions were made available at the building for each home- owner wanting street lights to sign and he submitted the petitions which were signed by 386 homeowners, all of whom want the street lights. Hr. Corley also submitted petitions gathered in 1974 of those persons wanting th0. lights at that time - 442 persons. Mr. Corley advised that it was understood at that time that the petition must be signed by registered voters and i~ has been certified by the Supervisor of Elections that of the 442 signatures only 230 persons were registered voters at that time - 1974. Mr. Corloy continued by stating that there are some residents who do not want street lights for various reasons; . however, it is believed by those wpo do want them that it will help to curb vandalism, rObberies, and other crimes. All persons registered having been heard, Commissioner Wenzel moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimously 5/0. Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and unanimously carried 5/0, that Ordinance 78-47 creating the Naples Park Lighting Municipal Service Taxing District be adopted. l': ~'l 043 r,,:::554- . .......' , . ~ "" :., ~. ." ,':,. . ..-.,.. ,....:~~~1-:.....J~;i~~. .

RESOLUTION R78-146 ADOPTING THE MILLAGE RATE FOR THE J.978-79 BUDGET _ ADOPTED Fiscal Officer Harold Hall explained that the adoption of the proposed resolution adopting the millage rate for the 1978-79 Budget follows the adoption of the budget which was completed on September l3, 1978. Mr. Hall read the proposed resolution, pointing out that the millage for the four County-Wide funds totals 5.4700 mills which, he saId, is a decrease from the current year's millage. Regarding the Special Tax Districts under the Board of County Commissioners, Mr. Hall called to the Board's attention that there are no millages .t ~ , September 19, 1978 being levied with regard to the Immokalee Water/Sewer District and the Marco Island Water/Sewer District.

Dr. Spagna further reported that the CAPC voted on September 7, 1978 to let its action on August l7, 1978 stand, i.e., recommendation for approval to the Board of County Commissioners. County Engineer Clifford Barksdale reported on the results of the research into the records with regard to the road rights-of-way and stated that there is no mention of rights-of-way in any of the deeds for the first 1320' off County Barn Road, Mr. Barksdale said that the parcel to the north of the right-of-way is owned by the State of Florida and in the lease of that land it is stated that nothing will be done to block the ingress or egress for the property located to the east. He said the remainder of the roadway does mention, with two exceptions, that there is 30' reserve both on the north side and the south side of the property '.ine for road rights-of-way; however, it is not dedicated to the public.

Ms. Hanz, Director of Youth Guidance for the County, stated that she did not have a prepared recommendation to present to the Board because, in her opinion, there are a lot of factors with which she is not directly involved. However, she said that from her understanding of the program, she would highly endorse the whole concept of "My lIome", noting that there iff, a successful similar project, on an individual basis, in the County's Youth Program, wherein private homes are being used. Alluding to the fact that the majority of the opposition to the project is directed to the location proposed, Commissioner Wenzel offered the suggestion that a different parcel be considered, noting that the County owns property in Golden Gate Estates, and also the property known as the Gran Property, commenting that he, personally, would be willing to lease such property at, for example, $1.00 per year for the purpose. Following additional brief disucssion, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel, that Petition PU-78-14-C by Milestone Youth Home, requesting provisional use (5) of the Estates District for a youth home in Section 8, Range 26 East, Township SO South, be denied. At this point, Chairman Pistor read a memorandum from Commissioner , Wimer who had left the meeting (10:55 A.M.) which stated that he supports the concept of "My Home" but, due to the overwhelming opposition to the location on Cope Lane, he would agree with Commissioner Wenzel and Archer and see if the County can help find a suitable location. Upon call for the question, the motion to deny the petition was carried 3/1 with Commissioner Brown voting in opposition, and Commissioner Wimer not present. .... , .. September 19, 1978 Further discussion was held regarding County-owned properties with Commissioner Wenzel suggesting that the Board authorize Utility Director Derzon, who has a list of County properties in Golden Gate Estates, to confer with Reverend Mase, Mr. SChneider and other members of the Board of Directors for Milentone Youth Home, for the purpose of choosing an available site and that the County offer that property to the group at no charge. Mr. Schneider inquired if the County will give them the property with approval to build thereon with Commissioner Archer responding in the negative stating that the suggestion made was to authorize the staff to work with the organization in acquiring a parcel of property. Commissioner Wenzel concurred with the comment that when a site considered to be suitable is chosen the petitioner would come back to the Board and apply for a permit to construct. Mr, Schneider expressed appreciation for the offer and, to clarify the matter, inquired if it would be necessary to go through all of the procedures which they have gone through during the past thre~ months, It was pointed out by Chairman Pistor that, de- pending upon which site is agreed upon, it is possible that My Hom& would be the first construction in the area and, therefore, would not encounter the complaints expressed regarding the location presently under discussion. Commissioner Wenzel restated his suggestion regarding the meeting to be held for the stated purpose, putting it in the form of a motion which was seconded by Commissioner Arche~ and carried 4/0 " with Commissioner Wimer not ~resent at the time of the vote. * * .. ..

'\,. 8CCK 043 P/,~:563 September 19, 1978 BOARD APPROVED FINAL PLAT AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN FOR PELICAN BAY UNIT 1 Dr. Neno Spagna, Director of Community Development, stated that what is being requested is approval of the Final Plat for Pelican Bay Unit One, said request having been made by Coral Ridge-Collier Properties. Dr. Spagna located on the map provided the property in question, describing same as lying north of Seagate Road and extending northward, covering essentially the lower one-third, more ,. or less, of the entire Pelican Bay development. He said that the Final Plat has been reviewed by the Coastal Area Planning Commission and is being recommended for final approval. It has also been reviewed by the Planning, Zoning, and Engineering Departments, said D~. Spagna, and they concur with the recommendation. He further stated that the construction plans have been submitted and that they meet all of the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and are recommended for approval with one condition, that being that tho present plat does not contain the easements which were originally going to be recorded in the Official Records. He said that the developer would like to now show them on the plat. It was his recommendation that the Board approve the plat subject to County Engineer Barksdale's review of the revised final plat showing the easements. Chairman Pis tor noted that he has been advised that the easements have been approved and that they will be added to the linen prior to signatures. In response to Commissioner Wenzel's concern that there be no dead-end roads that cannot be continued as, for example, in the north end of Park Shore Unit 5, Dr. Spagna said that there have been provisions made for the extension of roads at the discretion of the Board, noting that the rights-of-way are there and the agreement with 'Pelican Bay is that the developers will terminate the streets with a cul de sac 200' north of Seagate and, at such time as they .--'-- l J ..._...A September 19, 1978 are requested by the Board, they will complete the connection with Seagate Drive at their expense. Also, said Dr. Spagna, in response to Commissioner Archer, there is a provision for widening Seagato Drive from U.S. 4l to the westernmost connection. Mr. Thomas Peck, representing the petitioner, said that this provision is part of the pun document which has been approved and adopted as an ordinance by the Board of County Commissioner.. Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wimer not present when the vote was taken, that the Final Plat and Construction Plan for Pelican Bay Unit 1 be approved, as recommended by staff. * * .. * * * ..

There were no objections to Mr, Hall's request and the item was deferred. Mr. Hall said that the amendment would be brought back to the Board September 26, 1978 or in the closeout for the end of the year. " .. r-'-, [ ~ .. . . A September 19, 1978 BOARD ACCEPTS SPECIAL AUDIT REPORT BY AUDITOR GENERAL WHICH WAS REQUESTED BY CLERK WILLIAM REAGAN Clerk William Reagan explained that in January of 1977 he dpproached the Auditor General requesting an audit of all of the records of the Circuit Court and the Board of County Commissioners for the reason that he was just coming into the office of Clerk of Circuit Court and the former Clerk was leaving office. He was advised that due to staffing problems the audit could not be done for awhile. Subsequently, said Mr. Reagan, rumors appeared in the media with regard to the Delnor Park funds amounting to approximately $550,000. He said that his staff, internally, did an extremely intensive audit covering the period of May l, 1965 through February 6, 1974, It was felt at that time, and the Board was so advised, said Mr, Reagan, that there was no mis- appropriation, no lost monies, but possibly some problems in the record- keeping, Mr. Reagan continued by stating that the Auditor General was requested in July 1977 to perform a field autdit to confirm his findings and it was done. He said that an Audit Report was not issued because there was to be a total audit and the Report of the Special Audit would be incorporated therein; however, the total audit has not as yet been done. A further request was made of the Auditor's office a few months ago, said Mr. Reagan, because of the approaching election and he did not want the people of Collier County to still . believe that there was some wrongdoing in funds or SOllie monies ., missing. They agreed to the ~equest and an Audit Report has been received, said Mr. Reagan, and he was asked to incorporate it in the Board Minutes and also to "hit a few of the high points" in the Minutes. Reading from the Report, Mr. Reagan stated that the personnel involved at that time, noting that he was asked to list them, were: BGC~ 043 P/,~:572. ...........:..._1. . . -~.:: ~.'::':l"...-:-,~..~~;.:t~ B:JCK a,s pf,::573 September 19, 1978 A. C. Hancock, Stephen Hitchell, Glen Allen, Lester Whittaker, Ruth M. Van Doren, B. M. Sentell, J. ~I. Kurke, Thomas Archer, Dewey Polly, Clifford Wenzel, Ewell F. Moore, and David Brown, with Margaret Scott as Clerk. The Scope and Opinion covers the Bond Construction Fund - Port Authority Account, continued Mr. Reagan, noting that the three areas which were audited in detail were the 1964 General Obliga~ion Bonds amounting to $550,000, .. receipt of the Federal Grant amounting to $246,290, and the sale of the land to the State of Florida amounting to $271,946,66. Mr. Reagan said that all of these monies have been trac~ed and accounted for and that there has never been any misappropriations - the only problem has been in determining that due to problems with the records. He expressed his hope that the Naples Daily News, and the Fort Myers News Press, since it was headlined that there was a possible shadow on the funds, will give the findings the same justice of headline. Mr. Reagan stated that the only criticism by the Auditor was under financial records. He said that in the Act that was created in 1965, under Chapter 315, Florida Statutes, there was some misunderstanding as to what actually the funds could be used for. Mr. Reagan read portions from the Report having to do with the matter as contained in Paragraph 20 - Financial Records. He commented that records dating baCK to 1965 in any county are not always in the best orderl however, steps have beel taken so that Collier County will not have this type of problem in the future.

He said that negotiations have been ongoing with Goodland, Incorporated for over a year; that the County Attorney has seen fit to go to court; and, that a suit has been filed to remove the franchise which it is estimated will take nine months to one year to resolve. In the intervening time since the suit has been filed, said Mr, Berzon, an offer has been made to resolve the issue by paying the amount of $25,000 to Goodland, Incorporated. In return, continued Mr. Berzon, Goodland, Incorporated will: 1. Remove the franchise when the County has completed its water system and is ready to serve the area; 2. Continue to serve in the meantime in the same manner as it is doing now; and 3. Agree to accept payrnl:!lIt: in two parts - $12,500 when the Board approves the action, and the other part being when the County is ready to take over the operations. (Added by Mr. Berzon - not the operation of their facilities, but provide the operation through the system which the County is going to build). Mr. Berzon said that it is his recommendation, with the County Attorney 0\ concurring, that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement, and further authorize the preparation of a check for the initial pay- ment of $12,50U. Commissoner Archer moved to accept the recommendation of the County Attorney and the Utility Director and authorize the Chairman to sign the Water Franchise Settlement Agreement, and that a draft of the check be drawn. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brown. r,^ Oi 043 p",:~514 :~:'.~;~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~:~:i~~:,r_~~ '.. ~-"~"'II,W;';r::;;'7!':~j.7!i.~;~.~\,;_;,~:':;n:::~~ -~~\;"Z:?7:"'J'~~~'~f,ryf:~'";:~/:,";" , '.:':-~7~:~~~~tf;b~.;t'~1~ ,,~.~:~:~:: BDCK 043 Pl;:575 September 19, 1978 Commissioner Wenzel inquired as to who set the value with regard to the franchise with Mr. Berzon responding that the value was set by the Franchisee. He noted that the value originally set was well above the figure contained in the agreement and added that the $25,000 does not represent the value of the franchise as such _ but rather represants a value to the project as a whole in terms of the time which will be saved and the, legal obstacles which would have to be overcome in order to get..the water system in the ground. It was pointed out by Mr. Berzon that the funds will have to come from the Goodland Water District, noting that in all likelihood it will not be an eligible item under the FmHA loan and grant, however, the total project cost may also have some other items which are not necessarily eligible. All that can be hoped, said Mr. Berzon, is that it will be regarded as eligible; otherwise, it will have to be picked up as part of the total project cost. Upon call for the question, the motion was carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wimer absent. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "'_H '" j . ,- - & September 19, 1978 AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO THE COLLIER COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR AND EXPOSITION, INC. - APrROVED, CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL BY THE COUNTY'S LEGAL COUNSEL Mr. George Fraser, President, Collier County Agricultu~~l ~air and Exposition, Inc., addressed the Board requesting approval of proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation for the organizati which he said are necessary in order for the non-profit organization to reapply for tax-free status from the Department of Internal Revenue.
