October 30, 1978 PROPOSED PLANS AND OPERATION OF TIGER TAIL PARK REVIEWED Mr. Sergio Montes, representing Stanley Hole and Associates, gave the three areas of concern regarding the proposed plans and operation of Tiger Tail as beingl ~ l. The need for additional parking 2. Landscaping plans 3. Possible provision for park acce.s and control facilities and with the help of a map, pointed out the physical location of the parking area as it now is planned. At his suggestion that additional land be purchased for the needed parking space, Chairman Pistor explained that the land was just not for sale, expensive or not, but, perhaps, the idea of filling in the property for the necessary space could be researched. Commissioner Wenzel then asked that County Manager Norman proceed to file for a "fill permit" with the DER, to be exercised whenever it might be forthcoming, but to go ahead with the proposed plan for the Tiger Tail Park. There was discussion regarding the fact that the area under discussion is "mangrove area" and the permit to fill could be very difficult to obtain. Mr. Montes asked if the Board were going to wait until the "fill permit" had been obtained to begin the project and when Chairman Pistor replied "No" he suggested that the use of the permit be made part of the contract (when and if it becomes available). In discuss- ing the question of landscaping, Mr. Montes stated a buffer zone of at least 25' to 30' must be provided with Chairman Pistor stating that the foliage would be of natural origin and would require little main- tenance. County Manager N( ,n~n's suggestion of using a wall instead of plants for the buffer zone was set aside beoause of the necessity of having to landscape even such a wall. It was the consensus of the Board that there be only one boardwalk constructed throughout the park for use by the handicapped, that there be only outside shower facilities: that the required toilet be incorporated into a building ("---'1 ,., I -'-1 October 30, 1978 and/or buildings, that a reasonable charge be placed on park entry; that a guard and/or cashier have a facility at the entrance into the park, and that the possibility of placing "BBO" elements at different points in the park be investigated. It was suggested by Commissioner Archer that perhaps a concession stand could be employed in the one large building allowed under the grant ap- plication making the park somewhat self supporting. The conclusions reached by the Board were as followss 1. County Manager Norman requested to apply for a "fill permit", under the County's name, with the DER 'to be used, when available, for increasing the parking area> 2. Mr. Sergio Montes to bring back before the Board within thirty days, a design and plan that incorporates the above-referenced changes so that the Tiger Tail Park project may proceed. CITY OF NAPLES DOUBLE TAXATION RESOLUTION DISCUSSED - TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA OCTOBER 3l, 1978 FOR BOARD ACTION County Manager Norman read a thirteen page report, composed by Fiscal Officer Hall, County Attorney Pickworth and himself, in response to the City of Naples' Double Taxation Resolution which the City had adopted August 2, 1978. It was at the request of the City Council that the report/answer concerning the Board of County Commissioners' findings on Resolution '3050 was made, Mr. Norman stated, and falls within the 90 day time frame legally required for such an answer. In reading the report, Mr. Norman interjected, that the finding~ regarding the Sheriff's Law Enforcement and Uniformed Division of Resolution '30~~ ~ad been discussed with Sheriff Rogers and the statements contained in the report are in accord with the Sheriff's response. Fiscal Officer Hall commented on the philosophy of the Board and staff in regards to all water/sewer activities has '1 been one of having the specific geographic areas that are benefitting to pay for such facilities but there is a definite county wide benefit from a "county water development." And this being so, there could be Bm 044 rA::268 ~COK 044 p~~: 269 October 30, 1978 a time when thera are revenues, not strictly geographically oriented revenues, that might be used for development work that is of county- wide benefit. Clerk Reagan asked if the County'8 requests of the City as contained in the report are the same three requests that had been voiced before - i.e. The City drop their taw suit8' Repeal their ~ Resolution #3050 and in conclusion - Set aside their opinion of double taxation with the final result being a cooperative effort expended by both the County and City toward more efficient and economical method of rendering quality service to all citizens of Collier County. Chairman Pistor replied in the affirmative. County Attorney Pickworth stated that the Board's acceptance of 8aid report makes clear the Board's position - there is no instance of double taxation and there will be no further discussion on the subject but, more importantly, the issue of corporated services will be first and foremost on the Board's agenda. Following further discussion, Commi&sioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and carried unanimously, that the "Report to the Board of County Commissioners on City Resolution #3050 Re Double Tax- ation" be placed on the Board's agenda for the regular meeting, October 31, 1978 and the Board take appropriate action at that time. CONSTRUCTION OF COASTLAND BOULEVARD DISCUSSED - CHAIRMAN PISTOR TO WRITE CITY OF NAPLES RE THE COUNTY'S OFFER TO PAY 50\ OF COSTS WITH STIPULATIONS Chairman Pistor reviewed his memo dated October 25, 1978 given to all members of the Board and stated he had had a meeting with Mayor Anderson, City of Naples, at which time the construction of Coastland Boulevard was discussed. Mr. Pistor said this particular project has not, heretofore, held a pluc~ ~i high priority in the County plans and reminded the Board that the last meeting concerning the proposed construction was between the City and the County on May 24, 1976. At that time, it was the understanding of the Board that the City was possibly going to build a narrow collector road in the area which would help the traffic conditions as far as the high school is concerned but certainly would not be satisfactory for a main boulevard. Mr. Pistor r--' 1 r-h'-l 1 I October 30, 1978 continued, that both the City and the County recognize that the proposed construction of Coast land Boulevard will be an extension of the County as far as the maintenance goes. During his ~iscu8sion with Mayor Anderson, Mr. Pistor said the Mayor ~id say the City would provide sidewalks, landscaping and right-Of-way required, however, there is the problem of the railroad withdrawal that muet be aocomplished before con- 9ideration about drawing plans and designing the road can be begun in the proper manner and mentioning that County Engineer Barkodale feels that a 12 month lead is required before construction of Coastland Boulevard could begin. Chairman Pistor stated that County Engineer Barksdale has estimated that a four-lane Boulevard could be built for an amount between $500,000 and $600,000 if consideration has been given to the arore-mentioned requirements with the County realistically agreeing to pay 50% of the cost of the construction when the funds become available from the gasoline tax and the necessary amount has been accumulated. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried unanimously, that Chairman pistor write a letter to Mayor Andersol City of Naples, offering the County to pay 50\ of the construction of Coastland Boulevard once the funds are available and contingent upon the City obtaining the lOO feet of right-of-way which they will turn over to the County and the City's assurance that they will pay their share of the cost of the Boulevard. There being no further business for the good of the County, the WORKSHOP SESSION was adjo'll . ~ at lO: SO A.M. ~ ecc~ 044 PA::2.70
