Jake Bowlsbey, attendee, owner and operator of Take Action Fitness, asked for
permission to use CRA property, particularly Del's Corner, to provide functional
fitness classes two to three days a week utilizing his mobile fitness facility/trailer for
approximately four hours each day during January through April.
Mr. Oravec recommended that if the Board is interested in pursuing this and willing
to help, and special events is one of your priorities and fits the criteria, you should
direct staff to analyze and explore, and bring this back to you, whether it's
recommendations, facilitating, or with a proposal. Motion made by Sam Saad; second
by Kathi Kilburn; approved unanimously.
Shirley Garcia read an email to the Board from a community member regarding the
lighting around Commercial Drive near 7-Eleven and a hotel (Sandpiper?). She has
agreed to meet with this community member to discuss further; will drive the area at
night including the new crossing with the flashing lights at 41, the Burrow; and come
back to the Board with recommendations if there are safety issues.

unanimously.
VI. Approval of Consent Agenda: Maurice Gutierrez moved to adopt as written; second
by Al Schantzen; approved unanimously.
VII. Old Business:
a. Public Safety Report: None
b. 311—Maria Pizzaro, County Public Information Coordinator, provided
information regarding 311 which is like a one -stop -shop for any government
services. Staff hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with an after -
hour service that goes to the person on call. We have a website, and you can
download the app to your phone. This service is, as examples, for code issues,
speeding, potholes, a dog running loose, garbage or palm fronds that need to be
picked up — anything the government would act upon, or perhaps something you
are happy about in your government.
c. Development Report by Laura DeJohn, Johnson Engineering, provided a
presentation/briefing on new items: the Live Local Legislative Act from this
Summer is going to affect properties that are commercially and industrially zoned
#1; the end of Canal Street — staff will be answering questions raised in that
zoning verification request; the older strip center at the corner of Davis between
Brookside and Pine Streets regarding an application for a residential affordable
housing redevelopment — a zoning verification letter has been submitted to clarify
what their development standards will be as far as setbacks, etc. because there are
statutory changes. Cormac Giblin is the Division Director for Housing Policy and
Economic Development and the point person for the Live Local Act. The next
update is for Bayview Drive and the applicant should be filing a zoning
verification letter because they are not quite ready to come in for rezone; next is a
lot line adjustment on Cypress Street and the applicant is going through the
process of submitting the necessary documentation. Tammy asked that I mention
the Pizza Hut building has been revamped to operate as a real estate office, and
then in the corner of that site which is triangle -shaped along 41 — a new building
has been proposed where they are now asking for a five -story building with
ground floor commercial, covered parking on the ground level and four levels for
residential housing. It's a mixed -use project process, and in the Bayshore area,
they must follow the rules and go to the Board of County Commissioners because
of some deviations. A new item, page 5, is a chain restaurant called Huey Magoos
and that has gone to a pre -application meeting. On the development review, #3, is

the Village Plaza, where they are trying to get a local conversion from the
commercial strip center redeveloped as affordable housing and that is in for pre -
application. Page 6, # 16, Full Moon Court, is a relocation of an easement and
going back and forth with staff review comments. The next moving activity is the
17-acre Bayshore project and the consultant on behalf of the CRA submitted a
response back to November's County comments, so it is back in County review.
This is in the third round of review.
Moving on to page 11, some items have gotten approved —the rural Bayshore, the
large tract on Bayshore between Barrett Avenue and Van Buren. They started that
project in September 2021 and was approved in November 2023. Naples Alliance
Church food distribution just outside our CRA boundary, we were tracking
because it's near us. The applicant has been withdrawn.

trees for families along with some Santas and other vendors coming together, and
we'll be able to do this for the next several years for the Bayshore community.
Karen Beatty made a motion to support; second by Kathi Kilburn; approved
unanimously.
Adviso► , Board and General Communications:
a. Adviso►y Board: Kathi Kilburn will improvise the Christmas caroling.
b. Code Enforcement, John Johnson
Maurice Guiterrez informed the Board that the apartments on Shoreview Drive
are back up and operational. Those apartments never had a permit for the slab for
the dumpster. What brought it to the community's attention was the size of the
dump truck which was cracking nearby driveways. They switched to using
residential green garbage cans but just this week they have now enclosed the
illegal slab and a large dumpster is now being utilized again. John Johnson will
take this as a new case.
c. Correspondence
cf. CRA Staff: Kristen Hood gave a shoutout to Tami Scott for all her efforts on the
roundabout and decorations. Mr. Oravec mentioned his resignation and will be
going back to the Tampa metro area. Tami Scott provided an update on the
roundabout area and the completion of the innocuous project.
