2. ADVISORY WARD COMMENTS
Maurice GaKerrez, Chairman of the CRA Advisory Board thanked the Commission for their
p iT6cquiring the former Del's property, noting it will be extremely beneficial to control
veltment on the site that will eventually occur. In addition, the 17-acre parcel will benefit
resents in the area in the form of potential connections to Sugden Park and the development of uses
that benefit the area.
Al Schantzen, Vice -Chairman of the CRA Advisory Board commented on the positive benefits of
all activities in the area and on residents, including an increase in property values and a safer
neighborhood. The key moving forward will be developing a balance between commercial and
residential uses in the area.

Apri16, 2021
The following was noted during discussions between the Commissioners, Staff and CRA
representatives:
• The plan envisioned for the 17-acre parcel includes connectivity to Sugden Park, and a
combination of commercial or cultural type uses potentially, including a partnership style
arrangement by potentially transferring the land to a private party.
• A focus of future activities should be on infrastructure in the area, which is the key to
developing a vibrant community while balancing commercial and residential uses.
• The goal for the Del's property is to turn it over to a private entity while controlling the e of
development to occur on the site, which should benefit residents in the area.
• To date, the Naples Botanical Garden has not contacted the CRA regarding potent' u or
the site.
• The funding sources for the shuttle service has not been totally identified at is int and
parking will be key to facilitate use of the service.
• Although the intersection of Bayshore Drive and US41 is not in the urview, the area
should continue to be monitored to determine if any changes are n to ensure safety and
an adequate level of service exists for the area.
• Consideration may want to be given to narrowing the med on shore Drive to improve
traffic flow.
• One issue that has recently come to light are activities dertpken by landowners without
proper County permits being issued. There is a con &6d.
process to obtain permits is
lengthy, discouraging those from undertaking themeasures to obtain the approvals.
—Issue raised by Mike Sherman of the CRA•Ad N
• It is anticipated that demolition of Del's o pleted by the end of the year.
Karen Beatty, CRA Advisory Board Mer node the 17-acre parcel should be developed with a
combination of uses, including adequate space and other amenities beneficial to residents in the
area.
