1. CDBG FY20/21 Application Cycle
i. Immokalee Sidewalk Improvements – West Eustis Phase III (Enclosure 1)
Staff presented the boards with a copy of the grant application for the West Eustis Phase III.
Staff reviewed project area with boards.
On February 6, 2020 the CRA applied for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
for the construction of sidewalks along Eustis Avenue. Deadline to apply for the grant was
February 10, 2020. Project area is from South 5th Street to South 1st Street (about .3 mile).
Total cost for the project (design and construction) is estimated at $380,000 over two fiscal
years. The MSTU (Fund 162) will design the project in FY20, anticipated cost is $60,000.
The CRA (Fund 186) will contribute $20,000 for CEI services in FY21.
In FY21, if grant funds are awarded, a Budget Amendment of $320,000 will be initiated to
recognize the grant revenue of $300,000 and $20,000 in CRA Fund 186. Although this
grant application does not require a match; the CRA is pledging a monetary match of
$20,000 for CEI services for the project in fiscal year (FY21). Total contribution to this
project by the MSTU and CRA is $80,000.

G. Community Presentation.
1. McDonald’s Rebuild – Parking Exemption
Mr. Clay Brooker, Lawyer for the applicant, presented to the boards the plans for the rebuild of
McDonalds. He explained that the plans are due to go before the Planning Commission next week
and it was vital for them to get the support of the CRA to request the parking exemption. He then
asked the boards to allow Mr. Albert Lopez with CPH Engineers the time to explain the plan
details.
Mr. Lopez explained that with the expansion the issues they are facing is that the county requires
them to use more land for parking and a dry retention pond. This would not be an issue if the
existing property that is owned were classified as commercial use, but part of the property is
classified as residential. Therefore, they need to get the parking exemption.

After discussion with the county they were told that this was the only thing they needed. A
masonry wall is required unless they request a waiver which they have done already, there will be
enhanced landscaping in place of the masonry wall. There will be a fence around the dry retention
pond. These items were approved by the county in December.
On January 8th they held a community meeting and only one person showed up. Mr. Richard
Johnson, who is the owner of the residential property that is right beside the McDonalds. Mr.
Johnson supported the landscape.
The requirements for the landscaping will be exceeded in this project. Only one row of five-foot-
tall hedges are required but they will be planting two rows. Once the hedges reach maturity, they
will be tall enough to look like a wall. They will be planting trees that exceed the requirements as
well.
The boards were concerned with the possible traffic of school aged children cutting through and
the homeless issue when the gaps are present. Mr. Lopez assured the boards that the gaps will
only be for a short while and at present there is not an issue with anyone cutting through the empty
lot.
After considerable discussion the CRA board supports the parking exemption.
*Site plan is attached to the minutes for the record.
CRA Action:
Action: Ms. Anne Goodnight made a motion to move forward with the parking exemption. Mr. Ski
Olesky seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. 7-0.
