I, 6A4 ' July 17, 2021 To whom this may concern, The purpose of this letter is to ask for your support to landscape the Davis Blvd medians between Santa Barbara and Collier Blvd in Naples, Florida. This area is in Collier County and has experienced tremendous growth since we purchased our home in the Naples Heritage community almost ten years ago. This growth has provided increased tax revenues and has attracted many new voters to the district. This area is no longer on the edge of development in South-west Florida. As such, it should have a consistent look expected of a well-planned county. The Davis Blvd medians appear to have been ignored and are inconsistent with the landscaping just west of Santa Barbara. The recently approved sports complex will bring many more people to the area, Hence, the decision to improve the Davis Blvd medium landscaping is even more compelling. As a member of the Naples Heritage Board of Trustees, I have received many comments from our 799 owners regarding the appearance of the Davis Blvd medium. Many in our community would like the landscaping improved. It is the right thing to do for our community. It will also increase the property values of the area, Increased property values will also increase property tax revenues. I appreciate your consideration. Let me also take this opportunity to thank you and your predecessors for your past leadership in making the Naples area such a desirable community to call home. It is a community we are proud to be a resident of. With appreciation, Janice Cafmeyer 8004 Kilkenny Way Naples, Florida. 34112 239-728-1329 1 6A49 To Whom it may concern, We have been residents of Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club for 11 years. It is a beautiful and friendly community with 799 residences. We especially enjoy the vast amount of preserve that adds to its beauty and the various wildlife that it attracts. Naples is a beautiful city and what has always amazed us is how beautifully the medians are landscaped and maintained throughout Naples. The void in this beautiful picture has always been evident when we enter or leave Naples Heritage either from Davis or Collier Boulevards. It seems that this stretch of road has fallen through the cracks in the master plan to beautify the Naples roadways. We have witnessed major development in the last 11 years. The new $ 105 million Paradise Coast Sports Complex will draw thousands of people to Collier County, along with the currently approved $ 234 million Great Wolf Lodge. The quickest way to get to the beaches and downtown Naples from these venues is down this corridor. This corridor has increased by more than 3,500 residences over the past 25 year, which represents the entire growth of housing on Davis Blvd. Naples Heritage, Cedar Hammock, Madison Park and Firano represent 2,153 homeowners who share a passion for this beautification project. Over the last 2 years new developments have added another 779 homes or apartments. In total the current estimated population is approximately 6,000. This increased tax revenue could certainly be applied to help fund this last piece of the beautification project. In summary, we strongly feel that the completion of the of the David Boulevard enhancement should be completed and is long overdue.

One of the things that we and our guests have always admired is the thought and planning that has gone in to the roadways and accompanying landscaping of those areas.It is very much appreciated while driving on our roadways and within our community. it is so very noticeable upon exiting Cedar Hammock via Davis Boulevard the lack of that same type of landscaping on the median alone Davis between Santa Barbara and Collier Boulevard.I had often wondered why that had gone undone guessed that It had been the case because a significant amount ol the property bordering the road has been left in its natural state? It has been overly apparent over the past ten years that the residential development in this same area has blossomed with even more under consideration at the Collier Boulevard end. Exit 101 has always been the exit for both Marco island and downtown Naples.Davis Boulevard continues to serve many first- lime visitors to Naples'downtown area and still lacks the type of landscaping that is so much appreciated- The recent residential development at the Collier Boulevard end of Davis coupled with both the Paradise Coast Sports Complex and the lorlh corning Great Wolf Lodge along with Amazon,Uline and whatever additional development should take ( place will continue to add traffic and visitors who will USe the ame. .

Ken To whom this may concern, We moved to Naples Heritage located on Davis Blvd in 1997. At that time our community was the only one located on Davis Blvd between Santa Barbara and Collier Blvd, Since then the development ha been incredible. Three new home developments and three new apartment complexes account for over 3,000 doors. There is also a now strip mall and a newly opened Amazon Distribution Center on our section of Davis.In addition it remains one of the major roads connecting 176 and Downtown Naples. Over the years this state road has been widened and beautifully landscaped from SR41 to Santa Barbara Blvd. However the landscaping was never completed for the last two and a half miles to Collier Blvd. Not only was it never landscaped but our medians are now just mowed weeds.This has become an eye soar at best to our residents and all who travel this section of Davis. We are most pleased that the Collier County Commissioners have realized that this project should be pursued. Hopefully both the State and County will get together and complete this work which is long over due.

We have been very pleased to show off the Naples and Collier County area to our visiting family members and friends. All have said how beautiful the area is and in fact many have moved here within the last ten years. The one area that we as residents would like to see enhanced is the Davis Blvd. median near our home. The County Commission has done a magnificent job with many other median areas throughout the county. With the new Sports Complex and the possible Water Park we believe that landscaping the Davis Blvd. median will better } emphasize one of the entry ways to the new complex. We would encourage the Board to consider expediting the upgrades to the landscaping. It will dress up our neighborhood and provide a more parklike look to the entirety of Davis Blvd. Let's put our best efforts in continuing to upgrade this beautiful environment that we all love. We thank you for your consideration of this matter. Gary Lukens and Cathy Bliss 8758 Naples Heritage Dr. Naples, FL 34112 1 6A49 FE' A\ NO AT July 19, 2021 To Whom This May Concern, I represent the East Naples community of Firano at Naples, located on the south side of Davis Blvd., just east of Santa Barbara. We are 112 single-family homes, built between 2007 and 2015. About 60% of our owners are Florida residents. We are all excited to hear that, at long last, the median of Davis between Santa Barbara and Collier Blvd, is being considered for landscaping. All of us have been disappointed that the Davis median was only landscaped from Ninth St. to Santa Barbara, instead of continuing the landscaping all the way to Collier Blvd. This is peculier since nearly all the housing growth along Davis for the past 20 years has occurred in this very section of Davis. We understand Collier County and the State of Florida will work together to make the landscaping extension on Davis a reality. This is exciting news. The project is long overdue and will certainly enhance the beauty of Davis Blivd, a major connection between 1-75, Collier Blvd and the downtown Naples business dictrict. We here in Firano at Naples congratulate the state and county officials who are working together on the project. We also wish to thank the members of Naples Heritage Golf& Country Club, Cedar Hammock, Madison Park and other communities along Davis for organizing a community effort to make the landscaping project happen.

Naples had always been a destination my wife and her lady friends would yearly vacation to as a girls getaway.My wife liked the ores so much she later convinced too to come down from New York to join her. Once here,I couldn't get over how laid back and friendly the residents were,but the beauty was beyond compare. As we toured the various neighborhoods,taking in the sites,the one thing that stood out was even the medians wore beautifully landscaped and maintained. As we continued driving we approached an area that actually had a sign,"Roadway Closed for landscaping" , • and with this,our decision was made. In 2012 we purchased our home in Madison Pork. Wo are overjoyed and very grateful that our median stretch on Davis will soon he amongst the other bocutifully landscaped areas of Naples.We really do live In paradise!

We have witnessed the transformation of East Naples from a fringe area of Collier County into a major growth area. For the most part the road structure has kept pace with the growth. Certainly extending Santa Barbara Blvd. from Davis Blvd. to Rattlesnake Hammock and expanding Davis Blvd. from Santa Barbara to Collier Blvd have gone a long way in supporting development. We have, however, been bewildered to see that the stretch of Davis Blvd. between Santa Barbara and Collier Blvd. was never landscaped. It was particularly vexing to see Santa Barbara between Davis and Rattlesnake Hammock get landscaped at a time when there was little evidence of development on either side of the roadway. In stark contrast, literally thousands of residential units have been built and more are being constructed along Davis between Santa Barbara and Collier. We are grateful to hear that Collier County and the State of Florida have the wherewithal to solve the oversight. Thank you for agreeing to initiate this project.

Finishing the medians on the section of Davis Blvd, from Santa Barbara to Collier Blvd, would unify the appearance with the rest of the street. Davis Blvd is the primary route for many traveling to downtown or the beaches,and will have an increased traffic with the development of the approved projects in City Gate. Completing this median project would enhance the splendor of the communities located along this stretch of road including Madison Park. I have heard from numerous Madison Park residents who are excited about the median project and hoping that it will be getting started soon. Landscaping this section of the median would be enjoyed daily by residents and visitors alike. We look forward to the medians being landscaped and thankful to be living in such a beautiful area with people committed to maintaining and enhancing this beauty. Thank you for your time and consideration of these overdue median enhancements.

The median often looks as if the grass needs to be cut and the curbing edged- very often litter is noticed on this strip of Davis Blvd. As a major entryway to Naples, Downtown and the beach one would think that this area would be properly landscaped and maintained as the rest of Davis Blvd. is. Therefore, I am very pleased to learn that progress in this direction is finally being made! My sincere hope is that the State of Florida and Collier County can quickly make some decisions on how to proceed and begin this long overdue project. I commend and thank the community leaders who are spearheading this initiative, I also thank the leaders of Collier County for finally hearing and responding to our concerns regarding this issue, Sincerely, LeeAnne Tait • 1 6A49 From: Dick linger ricungr@aol.corn r; ; r3 Subject: Dick Unger•Davis Blvd ::: Date: July 17,2021 at 8:31 AM To: naplesken@cs.com, rmrogan400gmail.com To whom it may concern, We purchased our home In Naples Heritage, which is located on Davis Blvd, back in September of 2000. The growth we have witnessed over that twenty one year span has been incredible! There has always been a feeling that the short distance on Davis Blvd. from Santa Barbara east to Collier Blvd was never completed and still under development. The fact is, that now thousands of people live in that area, and just about all the buildable land has been developed, or will be developed soon. The medians along this stretch of Davis Blvd. have never been landscaped. The new $105 million Paradise Coast Sports Complex that is so vital to the area, will be drawing thousand of people, as will the newly approved $234 million 550 room Great Wolf Lodge. The shortest route to get to the beaches and downtown Naples from these two venues will be to go south on Collier Blvd and turn west onto Davis Blvd which takes people down to 5th Avenue, 3rd Street and the Naples beaches. Right now Davis Blvd, beginning downtown at Hwy 41 and going East all the way out to Santa Barbara, is beautifully landscaped. Landscaping the median on Davis Blvd from Santa Barbara to Collier Blvd will finally complete the look for the thousands of residents who now live there and the thousands of visitors that will be enjoying our bit of paradise. We are very pleased that our stretch of Davis Blvd. is now being considered for the median landscaping that will complete the look of Naples from downtown all the way out to Collier Blvd. Barb & Dick Unger 7605 Arbor Lakes Ct. Naples, Fl 34112 3 16A49 July 22, 2021 To Whom This May Concern: I am full time resident of Naples and a homeowner in Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club. I am thrilled to learn that our County Commissioners approved moving forward in the process of developing a plan to landscape the overlooked portion of median on Davis Blvd, between Santa Barbara and Collier. In recent years Davis Blvd has experienced extensive growth between Santa Barbara and Collier including the addition of three new developments in Just the last two years. This corridor is completely developed and is a major road way from Collier to downtown. A large number of residents as well as visitors to our area use this portion of Davis Blvd to travel from 1-75 and Collier Blvd to downtown Naples and Beaches. Currently Davis Blvd has beautifully landscaped medians from Hwy 41/downtown east to Santa Barbara Blvd, however the corridor from Santa Barbara to Collier on Davis simply looks ff incomplete. The commitment that Naples has to roadway beautification sets it apart from other cities. Landscaping this long overlooked 2.5 mile stretch is much needed and will complete the enhancement of Davis Blvd. It will give all of Davis Blvd the same signature appearance Naples is known for. I whole heartedly believe that the completion of this project will greatly improve the appearance of our corridor and enhance the south side of Naples. Much appreciation to all those working towards making sure this stretch of Davis Blvd finally receives the attention it deserves for the betterment of our community as a whole.
