MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this ____
day of ________, 20____ by and between FOREST GLEN GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
MASTER ASSOCIATION, INC. (“Forest Glen”), whose mailing address is 3855 Forest
Glen Blvd., Naples, Florida , and BBP REALTY, LLC (“BBP”) and NAPLES TLR,
LLC (“TLR”) (BBP and TLR are collectively referred to as “Applicants” and the
Applicants and Forest Glen are collectively referred to as the “Parties”).
The Parties hereby enter into this Agreement in consideration of the mutual covenants,
which include the faithful performance by Applicants and Forest Glen’s promise not to
oppose the Application as set forth herein:
RECITALS
WHEREAS on July 7, 2022, the Applicants applied to amend the Forest Glen of Naples
Planned Unit Development Zoning District (the “PUD”) to allow for commercial and
business park flex space (the “Application”);
WHEREAS the County commented on the Application for clarification regarding the use
of the term “Business Park” and since that time, Applicants have instead referred to the use
31 as warehousing and flex space rather than Business Park as defined by County
Ordinance.
WHEREAS the Applicants seek to develop the property referred to as I.D. Number
0039880204 and generally described as 9.6 +/- acres located at the southeast corner of
Collier Boulevard and Beck Boulevard (the “Property”);
WHEREAS the Forest Glen PUD currently allows the Property to be developed for mixed
use (e.g. commercial, recreation and open space) as defined by Collier County Ordinance;
WHEREAS on July 7, 2022, in connection with the Application, the Applicants submitted
their Evaluation Criteria stating that the intent of the PUD Amendment affecting the
Property would be to permit, light manufacturing warehousing and contractor uses in
addition to previously approved uses;
WHEREAS Forest Glen was concerned that the Application, proposed additional uses
and/or design elements were not compatible with or complimentary to its community or
the design elements or uses allowed by current zoning;
WHEREAS although the Application and Evaluation Criteria currently state that
Preserves are not proposed on the Property, Forest Glen desires the Application and
Evaluation Criteria reflect that Preserve space is proposed on the Property (as the term is
defined by Collier County ordinance and the PUD);

14818926.1 9/19/2022
WHEREAS although the Application provides that the PUD shall identify the location of
appropriate buffers, Preserves and open spaces at the Property, Forest Glen desires
additional clarity and an agreement with the Applicants regarding buffer location, size, use
of open spaces and the designation of Preserve at the Property;
WHEREAS due to the type of Application, a Neighborhood Information Meeting (“NIM”)
was required and scheduled to occur on September 6, 2022;
WHEREAS Forest Glen advised the Applicants that it would formally object and oppose
the Application at the NIM and future public hearings if certain agreements could not be
reached amongst the Parties regarding the Application, development of the Property and
future use of the Property;
WHEREAS the Parties met on August 29, 2022, prior to the NIM and came to certain
agreements to alleviate both Forest Glen’s and the Applicants’ concerns prior to the NIM;
WHEREAS the Parties announced at the NIM that certain agreements were made to
alleviate Forest Glen’s concerns and said terms would be memorialized by formal
agreement;
The Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. No Objection. Forest Glen agrees that it will not object to the Application at the NIM
or any subsequent hearing so long as the Applicants meet the obligations and
requirements of this Agreement.
2. Uses and Applicants’ Obligations. Forest Glen will not object to the proposed
amendments to the PUD. Forest Glen will not object to the development of the
Property with warehousing and flex space uses (Section 6.2, item 31 of the proposed
PUD) as presented by the Applicants at the NIM, so long as:
a. The Applicants clarify in their Application and the official record that all
proposed warehousing and flex space uses and related activity shall occur inside
the building(s) to be built on the Property with the doors closed. For sake of
clarity, no warehousing and flex space uses should encroach to the exterior of
the buildings even for storage purposes. In addition, no cell phone towers will
be located on the Property. The only activity allowed south of the vehicle
storage building and its wing walls (as referred to below) is to maintain the
landscape buffer and/or Preserve. The Applicants will work with Forest Glen
and submit any and all necessary paperwork as well as record any and all
documents to ensure that these requirements are met now and in the future. This
may include, but not necessarily be limited to, an amendment to the
Application, certain deed restrictions and/or governing documents for the
Property (e.g. Association Declarations and/or Bylaws). Applicants shall
diligently enforce lease terms, condominium or association requirements, or
other applicable legal restrictions on all users, tenants and owners of the units
14818926.1 9/19/2022
such that no noise, odor, light, fumes, or other disturbances shall substantially
disrupt Forest Glen’s enjoyment or use of its property.
b. If the Property is used in a manner that violates this provision, and the
Applicants fail to act within a reasonable amount of time to address the issue,
Forest Glen shall have the right to private enforcement by seeking specific
performance against the Applicants for breach of this Agreement.
c. The Applicants shall confirm that the warehousing and flex space design
elements shall be the same or substantially similar to the development located
at 3933 & 3939 Tollhouse Drive, Naples, Florida 34114 in compliance with the
current PUD. This includes, but is not limited to, architectural finishings and
paint color, to the extent permitted by Collier County Ordinances, or any
modifications agreed to by Forest Glen. The design elements shall remain the
same now and in the future. For sake of clarity, please see photographs attached
as composite Exhibit “1”. The authorized building height is a material term,
and Forest Glen would not enter into this Agreement if the Application sought
a two-story building or a height above that proposed by the Applicants at prior
meetings. The building height or structures attached to the roofline (if any)
shall not exceed 28 ft. As stated above, it is agreed that a Cell Phone tower will
not be located on any of the buildings at the Property. The Applicants will work
with Forest Glen and submit any and all necessary paperwork as well as record
any and all documents to ensure that these requirements are met now and in the
future. This may include, but not necessarily be limited to, an amendment to
the Application, certain deed restrictions and/or governing documents for the
Property (e.g. Association Declarations and/or Bylaws).
d. The Applicants shall request in their Application and the official record that the
landscape buffer on the Alternative Commercial Tract Master Plan between the
Property and Forest Glen be designated as Preserve. The Applicants will work
with Forest Glen and jointly submit any and all documents required or
otherwise requested to the appropriate regulatory authority in an effort to have
the buffer designated a Preserve. The Applicants will reasonably comply with
any and all requests by Forest Glen in their joint efforts to have the buffer
designated as Preserve. . The dimensions of the Preserve will not be
substantially altered from the Proposed Alternative Commercial Tract Master
Plan presented at the NIM (approximately 55’-65’ in depth from east to west
spanning the entire southern property line). Attached to this agreement as
Exhibit “2“is the Proposed Alternative Commercial Tract Master Plan
presented at the NIM. If the subject area is not approved or designated as
Preserve , the PUD will provide that the area shall be designated as a landscape
buffer, and the Parties will enter into a separate agreement setting forth that the
area will be designated as a landscape buffer in perpetuity with vegetation that
obstructs Forest Glen’s view of the Property. The Parties recognize that Forest
Glen’s intent is to swap/unlock Preserve adjacent to the clubhouse for future
development which is the purpose for attempting to designate the landscape
buffer area as a Preserve on the Property. Forest Glen’s desire to remove a
14818926.1 9/19/2022
preserve designation on other property may require the help/cooperation of the
Applicants in r the modification of the PUD in the future.
e. If the Property is developed with warehousing or flex space uses, the basic
designs, dimensional characteristics, and proposed uses of the Property will not
be substantially altered from that presented at the NIM or set forth by the
Proposed Alternative Commercial Tract Master Plan presented at the NIM. The
Proposed Alternative Commercial Tract Master Plan is attached hereto as
Exhibit “2”. If the Property is sold or otherwise becomes obsolete the Property
may not be torn down or altered from the Master Plan presented without Forest
Glen’s approval and proper regulatory approvals.
f. The “Vehicle Storage Units” set forth on the Alternative Commercial Tract
Master Plan located on the southernmost portion of the Property will have a
wall attached as further described in this provision. The wall’s height will be
12 feet high or the height of the back wall of the building (whichever is less).
The wall shall be made of concrete and painted a mutually agreed upon color
on the south side that will run parallel to Forest Glen’s property line and span
east to west a distance equal to the property line as allowed, and that there will
be no access to the “Vehicle Storage Units” from the south side of the Property.
No doors, windows or other tenant access other than those required by building
code will be allowed on the south wall or south vehicle storage building. The
south side of the building and wall will be reasonably maintained.
g. If the Property is developed with warehousing or flex space uses, the Property
will be reasonably secured by measures that include, but are not necessarily
limited to, an entrance gate with after hour code access thereby limiting after
hour access to business invitees or licensees.
3. Binding on Successors in Interest. This Agreement and obligations arising hereunder
shall extend to and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and
assigns.
4. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
5. Severability. In the event that any section, paragraph or term of this Agreement shall
be determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any competent authority or tribunal for
any reason, the remainder of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain
in full force and effect, and any such section, paragraph, or term shall be deemed modified
to the extent to make it enforceable.
6. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to be, a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or other provision hereof.
7. Modifying the Agreement. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed
by both Parties.

Dear Commissioner Kowal,
I have the pleasure to represent Forest Glen. During the BCC Meeting scheduled for April 11, 2023,
the Board will consider the above referenced Petition that was approved by the Land Planning
Commission. Forest Glen wanted to make sure that all Commissioners were aware that it and the
Applicants entered into the attached Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) related to the
Petition. Material terms of the MOU include, but are not limited to the following:
1. The Applicants agree, and will work with Forest Glen in its efforts, to have the vegetation
area located between the developed parcel and Forest Glen’s property be designated as
Preserve;
2. The Applicants agree, and the site will be developed in a manner to include buildings of a
height no greater than 28’. However, please note that due to the County’s definition of
building height, Forest Glen has acquiesced to a building height of no greater than 30’8”.
3. As it relates to uses, the Applicants agree that the southernmost building will be used for
vehicle storage with no access points on the exterior wall closest to Forest Glen’s property
line.
Forest Glen does not intend to object to the passing of the Petition at the upcoming hearing.
However, it may make a public comment to ensure that public officials and staff are fully aware of the
agreements between the relevant parties that impact this project moving forward.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Tom Rinaldi
