BAYSHORE BEAUTIFICATION MSTU MINUTES OF THE MARCH 3, 2021 MEETING
The meeting of the Bayshore Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee was called to order by
Maurice Gutierrez at 5:02 p.m. located on the 3rd floor of the Administration Building.
I. Roll Call: Advisory Board Members Present: George Douglas, James Bixler,
Maurice Gutierrez, and Robert Messmer attended in person. Virtual attendance was
approved for Susan Crum and Sandra Arafet.
MSTU Staff Present: Debrah Forester, CRA Director; Tami Scott, Project Manager;

Coordinator.
II. Pledge of Allegiance: Led by Maurice Gutierrez.
III. Adoption of Agenda: Ms. Forester added under Old Business: Thomasson Drive; and

motion to accept the Agenda, second by Bob Messmer. Motion passed unanimously.
IV. Adoption of Minutes: George Douglas made a motion to accept the previous meeting
minutes as written, Sandra Arafet seconded. Passed Unanimously.
V. Landscape Report:
a. Update on Landscaping—Aaron Gross, Ground Zero Landscaping— Aaron
Gross presented his landscape report. The landscape crew have been out doing
their weekly maintenance on Bayshore Drive. They removed a large coconut tree
overhanging the sidewalk that was a safety hazard with large coconuts about to
fall from the corner of Weeks and Bayshore, and they removed some dead palms
by Thomasson Drive. Maurice Gutierrez asked if Mr. Gross’ crew was removing
and prepping for the roundabout, but he stated that it is being done by the
contractor on the Thomasson Drive project. Ms. Forester asked if ground zero
was continuing to pick up garbage on Mondays along Bayshore drive, and the
answer was yes. Mr. Gross wanted to mention when they first started doing trash
on Mondays it was overwhelming. However, since they have been picking up
every Monday it has gotten manageable, except for the large amount of debris
left behind the hedges by the vacant lots on Bayshore drive by the homeless
population. The type of debris and the hazardous waste left there has been a
challenge and Ms. Forester stated that she would report it to the Sheriff’s Office.
VI. Community / Business Presentations:

VII.Old Business:
a.Revised 2021 Meeting Calendar/ Joint Workshop- Ms. Forester provided the
revised calendar for 2021 and noted the 2 changes on the calendar. The first is the
Joint workshop with the CRA will now be on May 5 at 5:30pm and the next date
will be on June 9 due to the holiday. Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to accept
the changes, George Douglas second. Passed unanimously.
b.Bayshore Drive Access Management Plan- Ms. Forester provided an update after
some discussion with the County Transportation staff pertaining to the traffic
analysis and the County has recommended staff work with Stantec Engineering
since they are more in line with the Counties modeling and they are also listed
second on the Counties contract list. Maurice Gutierrez asked if this is an MSTU
or a CRA venture and Ms. Forester said this is a joint venture between both. Mr.
Gutierrez wanted it known that he is hesitant on changing Bayshore Drive into 2
lanes because he is not in favor of encouraging developers creating an out of control
commercial district because they are utilizing all the on street parking, and then
walking away leaving all the residents to deal with that. He would rather have it be
more difficult for the commercial developers to build to keep it manageable. Sandra
Arafet was under the impression the committee already voted against changing it
to 2 lanes and she agrees with Mr. Gutierrez and is not in favor of it either. George
Douglas wanted to say that this is not a done deal, the committee should wait until
they have the traffic analysis done first so they can make an informative decision
based on the options presented.
c.Proclamation and Plaque at Del’s Corner- Mrs. Scott wanted to talk about the
placement of the proclamation for Del’s corner in the middle of the roundabout.
But also suggested to make another monument plaque in the right-of-way on the
corner of the parking lot where the hedges are so folks could read the exact verbiage
without going into the middle of the roundabout. It would be easier and safer to
have something on the corner that folks could walk by and read. Bob Messmer said
that was a great idea and he supports that very much. The consensus of the advisory
committee is in support of the additional plaque.
VIII.New Business:
a.Member Reappointments- Vacant Position:
i.New Member Application, Amy Seaburg- Withdrew her application. prior to
meeting.
ii.New Member Application, John Smith – Mr. Smith provided a detailed
history of his background and is a full-time resident within the MSTU
boundary.

After much discussion and questions by the committee members, Sandra Arafet
made a motion to approve Mr. Smith, second by Bob Messmer. Approved
unanimously.
b.Sabal Shores Street Lighting- Ms. Forester mentioned the neighborhood survey
that was done during the neighborhood focus meeting and one of the items related
to street lighting and the residents wanted more in Sabal Shores. Ms. Forester
asked if the MSTU could pick up the costs for the lighting. Mrs. Scott provided
brief details and will come back with more in-depth information on placement and
the quantity of lights.
c.FY21 & 22 Work Plan- Ms. Forester updated the committee on the
priorities for next year: starting with the Thomasson Drive irrigation plan,
which will be a cost to the MSTU for water; and the CRA parking lot that
the MSTU had agreed to take on the landscaping maintenance. Thye other
projects that are joint projects included: Holly Avenue and there may be
some lighting coming later; the limited road maintenance such as Andrews,
Woodside, and Pine Tree may be coming back; and staff may be bringing
back the North Bayshore Renovation soon too. Staff is working on
expanding the boundary to include the Sabal Bay project on South Bayshore
Drive. The $1.3 million that was discussed previously for their share of the
Hamilton Avenue project will be coming soon. Maurice Gutierrez
mentioned that when Bill Neal was chairman of the MSTU he looked at the
costs that the MSTU picked up for cutting grass along the right of way that
the County no longer had to budget their money for and had asked that the
MSTU be reimbursed the money from the County Fund and they agreed to
do that and was wondering if staff could revisit those requests and possibly
get some funding put back into the budget. Ms. Forester said she would look
into getting a transfer from 111 to offset the cost savings for the County no
longer maintaining Thomasson Drive.
IX.Staff Reports:
a.CRA Directors Report- Ms. Forester provided the report and highlighted
some of the projects. The mini-triangle has pulled some demolition permits
and should start some activity sometime in the next month or so. The 17-
acre proposals came in but staff has not yet seen the proposals but will bring
it back once it has been looked at. The Public Art Plan will hopefully go
back to the BCC sometime in the spring.
b.Project Manager Report- Tami Scott highlighted a couple of projects:
•Thomasson Drive project is moving along, most of the underground
is completed, the roundabout has been started, and lighting fixtures
and signage will be going in soon. There is a credit due back to the
MSTU for the bike lane change that was requested by the committee.

Staff has requested some traffic support for the pickle ball and
community since this will be new to the residents with a new traffic
pattern.
•Fire Suppression III project is delayed due to the water mains being
deeper than it is shown on the as-builts. But everything else has been
going well, except for tying into the water mains on Bayshore Drive.
In order to correct this issue, the street will be shut down in May for
a connection from Areca and Bayshore and Coco and Bayshore
Drive.
•Fire Suppression IV grant application was submitted, and staff had
an opportunity to present the project in front of a selection committee
within the Grants office for consideration. The grants office will
notify the departments once a project is chosen to be awarded a
grant.
•The landscaping on the bridge has been completed and staff is
meeting with Botanical Gardens staff to get some ideas for the
planter bed on the bridge. George Douglas asked how much
landscaping will be on the Thomasson Drive project and Ms. Scott
responded just the roundabout, a few canopy trees along the back of
the sidewalk and staff will work with the Botanical Gardens staff to
get additional ideas.
c.Private Development Update- Ms. Summers highlighted some
development projects:
•Ms. Forester had some comments from the Community but wanted
to let the residents know that the item for Naples Boat Yard was not
on the agenda for this meeting. However, she had asked Ms.
Summers to provide an update for the residents that may answer a
few of their concerns. Ms. Summers provided the current
information that she received prior to the meeting about the Naples
Boat Yard on Bayview Drive in regard to the rezone request for
2736, 2772 & 2754 Bayview Drive. That application process takes
about 30 days for staff to review, then there will be a letter mailed
out to the property owners within 500 ft of the project, a sign posted
on the properties and a newspaper ad will be posted. The property
located on the north side of Bayview Drive has not been submitted
yet for their variance request. Maurice Gutierrez asked if the marina
is requesting to move the boat lift when they improve it and Ms.
Summers its only an enhancement to the lift not relocating the lift.
•Camden Landings will be going before the BCC on March 9th.

monthly schedule for anyone in need of assistance or families.
b.2021 Bicycle Month- Ms. Forester provided the flyer from FDOT for some
bicycle safety tips as well as recognizing the month of March as bicycle
month.
XI.Public Comments: Mr. Branco from Danford Street asked what the schedule
was for the Hamilton Avenue construction and Ms. Forester let him know around
October 2021. Al Schantzen let the committee know why the Sabal Shores
lighting came up and the concerns in the residential surrounding the CRA parking
lot was because of all the traffic cut through the Sabal Shores neighborhood after
the parking lot is completed and the kids playing outside it is very dark and hard
to see them playing so more as a safety issue in those streets.

Long-awaited tower project in East Naples marches on
FOR SUBSCRIBERS
Laura Layden, Naples Daily News Published 4:53 p.m. ET March 12, 2021
The old will soon make way for the new, transforming a high-profile corner in East Naples.
A years-in-the-making mixed-use tower project, now dubbed Metropolitan Naples, is advancing — quietly for now.
Demolition permits have been filed for in Collier County.
Once those permits are in hand, the long-idle, vacant buildings are expected to come down quickly at the site, which stretches between Davis
Boulevard to the north and U.S. 41 to the south in an area known as the Gateway Triangle, named for its pizza-like shape.
"It's mainly old metal buildings and they were used as warehouses. They have been vacant for a long time, so it will really clean up the site, just getting
rid of those old buildings," said Jerry Starkey, one of the project's developers.

With the buildings gone and a clean slate, site work should begin by June, which will involve putting in all of the community's infrastructure, from water
and sewer hook-ups and electricity to streets, landscaping and entryways, he said.
"Then we expect the first building to begin construction probably in January," Starkey said.
The development will feature a mix of housing, retail and entertainment in up to three towers, each as tall as 15 to 16 stories — or up to 160 feet.
Most of the retail will be restaurants.

Luxury features and amenities will include rooftop swimming pools, gardens and gathering spots.
A movie theater is no longer in the cards. A hotel remains a question mark.

Long time in coming
The upscale development is the brainchild of Starkey and Fred Pezeshkan, both longtime local developers, who won the right to purchase and develop
the property from the county through a competitive bidding process.
The county has targeted the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle area for redevelopment since 2000 — or for more than 20 years.
After some unexpected delays the sale of the redevelopment site closed late last year. The biggest delay? The relocation of a 200-foot communications
tower, which took a few years.
Starkey and Pezeshkan signed an agreement to purchase the five-acre property back in 2016.
County records show a bi-furcated sale by the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency, with a slice of the property turned over to another
partnership, operating under the name Naples Triangle Development JV/Propco LLC and managed by Roger Saad, with SK2 Capital, a real estate
private equity and capital markets advisory firm headquartered in Naples.
That group will actually build the first tower, which will include roughly 270 luxury rental apartments, along with one or two upscale restaurants on the
bottom floor.
With a second group involved, the entire development can get done much sooner, Starkey said.
Construction should begin on the second tower by next summer. This tower will have luxury condos for sale, but
Starkey and Pezeshkan are still in the planning mode, so they can't offer too many details yet.
"We hope to come to the market with those at the end of the year," Starkey said. "At this point, we are having
focus groups and listening to the market to determine the size of the units, and the features that people are most
interested in."
Each of the two towers will take 18 to 24 months to build.
A question mark
Plans for the third tower are still in flux. There had been strong interest in making it a hotel, but the interest in that
has faded since the pandemic hit, turning the travel industry upside down.

"At this point, we would still be interested in a hotel, but we might end up seeing if the county will allow us to build more residences, instead of a hotel, if
the hotel market doesn't turn around," Starkey said.
Despite the uncertainty over what will go in the third tower, the developers remain confident and upbeat about the redevelopment project.
"We think it's going to be a very successful community and there is tremendous interest for this community, this product, this close to downtown and the
beaches. So it's pretty exciting," he said.
It might be even better if the condos were already finished, given the strength of the Naples housing market at this time, Starkey said.
Naples — and the surrounding area — has seen a surge in residential sales and interest over the past year, thanks to the spread of COVID-19 and other
factors, including bad weather and high taxes elsewhere in the country, which are only encouraging more Northeasterners and Midwesterners to relocate
here.
High-end real estate has been hot.
"I think the demand in Florida generally and Naples specifically is sustainable for a long time into the future," Starkey said. "People like the lifestyle here."
Still a secret
As for the restaurants, the developers remain tight-lipped about the ones they are trying to attract, or have shown interest.
The developers hope to bring in top-notch restaurants that aren't in this market yet, including national chains, as well as smaller, but highly successful
concepts in larger cities, such as New York and Chicago.
"I think when it's all complete we'll have three to five very nice restaurants in the community," Starkey said.

With so many northerners migrating to Florida, he said, it's only natural that more restaurants will follow.
Metropolitan Naples won't be the first redevelopment project in the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle area, but it's still seen as a catalyst project that will spur
more urban renewal.
"We just hope to continue the redevelopment march that was started a long time ago," Starkey said.

New gallery is Things She Likes, and Ehrenberger hopes
we like them too
Harriet Howard Heithaus, Naples Daily News Published 12:00 p.m. ET March 24, 2021
If we all owned a business, we'd want to stock it — and probably name it — just the way Catherine Ehrenberger has. Her gallery/studio, at 3954
Bayshore Drive, is titled Things I Like by Catherine (https://thingsilikebyc.com/?fbclid=IwAR1aZw4lVlhE43F_r3fyMxnQXAB-
eOcon4Mss7ZdPINmANeSkacQ_UC5wWY).
New in the growing Bayshore Arts (https://badnaples.org/) District, Things I Like has an inventory of items that just fascinate Ehrenberger. They'll likely
fascinate her visitors, too.
There are candles poured inside dusky recycled bottle holders, exuding exotic blends like orange/vetivir/geranium and red ginger/saffron/lime zest.
The jewelry is, for the most part, Florida-made. Ehrenberger has sought hers from local artisans she can relate to for their personal stories, people like
Dakota Osceola, a bead crafter of Seminole heritage. Styles range is from Osceola's delicate beadwork to bracelets that are sleek acrylic bows or
dangling polished mercury dimes.
Bayshore paints on: A brushstroke away from a public arts plan 2½ years later (/story/life/2020/10/24/bayshores-request-republic-art-plan-prevails-two-

AND: Pandemic brought a gallery owner home to his inner artist (/story/life/2021/02/18/naples-gallerist-couldnt-sell-art-so-he-made-his-
own/6747571002/)
But what people are instantly drawn to is the art on the walls. RyAnne Curnow's Tje dynamic circles of RyAnne (nee RyAnne Curnow) roll among
watercolor splashes; Maggie deMarco's color-centric abstracts carry her signature scribble; Stacie Krupa's crustaceans glow in yellows, pinks and
greens. Linda Hinkle's large-format abstracts are there, too.
There also are some serene works by an artist named Catherine Ehrenberger. The owner creates some of her paintings in the studio side room of her
1,300 square-foot space.
"I came late to this," she concedes. "I always collected collected art, but I didn't really start painting until four years ago."
That was after she left the corporate world of sales, training and development, which followed one of her furthest departures: working with horses on a
ranch in Texas.
The Downers Grove, Illinois, native said she loved the job and hated to leave: "But I had to get a job that would support the life I'd like to become
accustomed to," she said, laughing.
Ehrenberger said she had always planned to eventually open an art gallery, and that she wanted to make Things I Like "a place to come for strong,
colorful, vibrant art." Bayshore, she said, had a "lively vibe," and she's found her business neighbors to be especially helpful. She even carries some
jewelry by a Bayshore artisan, Amanda Jaron.
"I wanted it to have a community feel," Ehrenberger said. That means there's local art here, and local events. She has two open houses for her artists

Ehrenberger's building was a modest tract house at the corner of Linda Drive. Moving its entrance to the side street and turning its French vanilla and
avocado in white and violet, she created a walkaround gallery with just a section of midwall against which to position one of her handpainted pieces of old
furniture.
The viewer is drawn in so quickly, it's likely you'll circle back around the central wall segment before you see its piece de resistance: the Art-o-mat
(https://www.artomat.org/). Art-o-mats are retired cigarette machines that have come from the dark side to serve as purveyors of tiny art. Packaged in
cigarette box-size packages, the art ranges from painted blocks to framed pieces to even some wearable art, all of it custom-made by contract with Clark
Whittington (https://www.linkedin.com/in/clark-whittington-8272845/) of Winston, North Carolina.
All of the art fits inside cigarette pack containers and is even wrapped in cellophane. This squat machine, with its steamrolled Santoro text, looks as
though Jon Hamm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Hamm) in his "Mad Men (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Men)" character should be lounging
against it. But insert one of the $5 tokens that Ehrenberger carries and out pops art. General depictions, visuals where the cigarette brands once were,
give an idea of what's under each pull. But pieces are unique.

"There are about 100 machines around the country, and some people seek them out just to buy the different artists and see the machines," Ehrenberger
said. It's not only an enticing addition, it keeps with Ehrenberger's philosophy that everyone should be able to afford art.
"Most of my jewelry ranges from $40 to $500," she said. "What's behind all this for me is my belief that original art brings an energy and a vitality that
mass-produced doesn't have."
And energy and vitality are among the Things Catherine Ehrenberger Likes.
