MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi, and good morning, everyone. This is the
February 1, 2024, meeting of the Collier County Planning Commission.
Everyone please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Before we take the roll, I believe Commissioner Klucik has asked
to participate remotely. Are you -- are you online, Commissioner? Commissioner Klucik, are
you online, sir?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, he may be on momentarily. In the meantime, I'll ask the
secretary to call the roll.

COMMISSIONER SHEA: Vice Chair Schmitt?

COMMISSIONER SHEA: Ms. Lockhart?

COMMISSIONER SHEA: Sir, we have a quorum, six out of seven.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Secretary. And as far as Commissioner Klucik is
concerned, he had made a request to call in, and so he may be along shortly. And I'll ask -- I guess
I'll ask Mr. Miller in the control room -- is that the right person who would get that first, or would it
be our folks in the back?
MR. BOSI: Chair, Mike Bosi, zoning director.
It would be Ailyn. She's coordinating the Zoom.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. Ms. Padron, just interrupt us when -- if and
when he dials in, please. Thank you.
Addenda to the agenda? Mr. Bellows.
MR. BELLOWS: We have no changes to the agenda.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Planning Commission absences. Our next meeting is on February 15, 2024. Anyone
know if he or she will not be able to attend?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I have a --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's right.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- family affair.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You had told us that. Anyone else?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'm just looking right now. I think I should be here.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Good. It looks like we'll have a quorum. Hope so.
Same question for the meeting following that, which is March 7, 2024. Anyone know if

COMMISSIONER VERNON: I will not be there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. Once again, it sounds like we should have a
quorum.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: I can hear you now.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, good, Commissioner Klucik. We'll go through the formality,
sir, of asking you to just give us a statement of extraordinary circumstances, and then we'll take a
vote.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yes. I'm sorry. I had planned to come, but I had
last-minute client urgent matters come up that I have to attend to today, and the three extra hours
of, you know, driving in and back will make that impossible for me, so...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Understand completely. I'd entertain a motion.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Make a motion to approve by phone.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Second.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Any further discussion?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Let's see. Approval of the minutes. We have before us those of
our January 4, 2024, meeting. Any corrections, changes, or additions to them?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is there a second?

BCC report, Mr. Bellows.
MR. BELLOWS: Yes. On the January 23rd Board of County Commissioners' meeting,

the PUD rezone for Mattson at the location at Vanderbilt was continued to the February 27th Board
of County Commissioner meeting.
On the summary agenda, the Board approved an LDC amendment for communication
towers. That's the first meeting of two, actually.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Let's see. Anything further about the BCC?
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, zoning director.
Just, as Commissioner Schmitt had pointed out, the Board did approve 375 -- or
$3,750,000 of the surtax money to be allocated for purchasing of a property for an affordable
housing project on 951. It's -- it was -- it's the first of the surtax allocation for a project to develop
affordable housing within the -- and the project, interestingly enough, is going to utilize Live Local
because it's currently a C-3 zoned parcel. So this board --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We won't hear it.
MR. BOSI: No, and the Board won't hear it. It's an administrative approval. So it's a
unique situation, but the Board, you know, values and prioritized the need for additional workforce
housing in such a manner that they went to a circumstance of allowing a project to go. So that's
going to bypass the public hearing process.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: How many units is that; do you know? Do you recall?
Well over 200, wasn't it?
MR. BOSI: It was -- I thought it was 250 was ringing in my head.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: With an allowable height of 75 feet zoned, actual 85?
MR. BOSI: Yes. That was within one mile of the highest allowed approved -- not
developed, but approved height within the area is 75 feet zoned and 85 feet actual height.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. You were right. It's one mile, not five. I thought it
was five miles.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Let's see. Chairman's report, none today.
Consent agenda, nothing there today.
***So we move right into public hearings advertised. The first matter is PL20220006213.
This is the SR846 Land Trust Earth Mine conditional-use amendment application.
Ex parte disclosure -- or excuse me. All those wishing to testify in this matter, please rise
to be sworn in by the court reporter.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Ex parte disclosures, please, starting with Ms. Lockhart.
MS. LOCKHART: Staff materials only.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I did look at the -- briefly look at the transcript from the
previous time.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials only.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. In my case, it's matters of public record, meetings with
staff, and a communication with applicant's agent.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Staff materials only. And I would like to note, I
understand my fellow commissioners received a lot of e-mails on this. I've only received one, so
I'm not sure what's going on with the e-mails.
Ms. Padron was -- the only one I got was that she forwarded, and then it went into my
Collier County e-mail as well as my personal e-mail. But I had not received any of the other
e-mails, and I was told there's numerous e-mails that have been sent by the public.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I think up to -- at least in my case, up to and including yesterday

evening I probably got 40. And your name was on there, and your e-mail address, so something's
going wrong. I guess it needs to be looked into.
MR. BOSI: Staff can reach out to IT and see what -- if there's anything they can identify
as to why Commissioner Schmitt wouldn't have been receiving those e-mails.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. And neither did Commissioner Shea, right?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I received several.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Several?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Both of our names are on this one.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's the only one I received.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Very strange.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It looks like the other ones didn't --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Disclosures, Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yeah. Staff materials and a conversation with
Mr. Yovanovich. I also have to make the comment that I, too, only received the one from Ailyn
that was sent to me. And a couple weeks ago, I did ask IT to remove the Collier e-mail site and
forward everything to my personal site because I've had so much difficulty getting into that Collier
site. So evidently something has not taken place that should have.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We're going to talk a little about this before we call on
Mr. Yovanovich.
Commissioner Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Staff materials only.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Commissioner Klucik?
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Just meeting with the staff.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. This has nothing to do with the applicant's situation, but I
just -- I wonder if there's something that we need to do or action we need to take. As I say, I got
about 40 e-mails as recently as yesterday evening, and I noticed that they were all addressed to the
same recipients, the Board of County Commissioners individually and the planning commissioners
individually, and staff. Mr. Bosi's name was on them, for instance.
MR. BOSI: I did not receive any e-mails yesterday related to the earth mining proposal,
so I'm not sure --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I better -- I better retract that part. I'm not sure
whether -- I'm thinking of something else. But I'm quite sure that the names of the individual
commissioners were on there. Does anybody -- I mean, is there something we should do about
this? Again, it's not the fault of the applicant, but it's just something that --
MR. BOSI: Every e-mail that we received up until the distribution date of the package to
the Planning Commission is within the backup. So within the backup material that you received,
there's a number of e-mails that staff had received up until that date. So what I think we would be
dealing with is e-mails that were displaced that for some reason didn't reach the planning
commissioners between the distribution date, which was -- I believe was Friday of last week and
today.
So we can -- I think you -- the distribution -- the recognition of those e-mails, I think, could
serve adequately if you could describe if they were in support or were they -- were they in support,
or were they not in support, and I think that can be -- I mean, that's a simple conveyance to your
fellow commissioners as to what those e-mails contained.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: As I recall it, they were nearly unanimous, or unanimously,
against it, but I feel uncomfortable characterizing them without the planning commissioners seeing
them themselves. But it is what it is, and I --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: It sounds like he got about 40. I got between five and 10.
Joe received one, and you received one. All of the ones I received were against.

Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And I didn't check it yesterday. Probably the day before
is the last time I checked my Collier e-mail. I just -- and I don't have the fond [sic] right now to
check it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But if they came in yesterday -- but other than that, I
know the e-mail's working, that's not a problem, because I do still get e-mail through my account.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I'd just say this isn't a permanent fix but temporary
fix, somebody, I think -- you said that you're getting them through your personal or want them
through your -- I'd like mine through my personal -- work. That's easier for me.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Correct. I had requested to IT to remove the active
Collier County e-mail account and direct/forward everything to my personal account, because I'm
on that all day long.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I agree with Randy. For me -- and I don't think it's a
permanent fix, but just for now, please send them to my work address.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So you're wanting your personal e-mail to be posted on the
web page so people can reach you; that's what you're saying?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Correct. I'm already on four of my other businesses,
so if people want me, they're going to find me.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. My website has my e-mail address, so it's --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: If I could make a comment. We recommend that you do use the
county's website because of the public records law, and you could be opening up your personal
computers for, you know, at least the County Attorney's review because we'd have to review and
identify exempt documents from disclosures, so -- and I caution you with use of your personal
accounts.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's a very good point.
Vice Chairman?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I was going to say the same thing. I would definitely
prefer it going to Collier County e-mail. That's public record. It's there. Even if I delete it in my
account, it's still in the public record because it's part -- it's captured, and if I understand, it's still
available for discovery. So I prefer not to have it sent to my private e-mail.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I think the resolution is to first consult with the IT department,
and if the Chair could send to Mike and I a couple of the e-mails that you've received that were not
timely, and we can consult with them and see what can be done so those aren't blocked.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, it's just a matter -- they could not -- some of them
may have my name on there but have the wrong e-mail address, because there was a change two or
three years ago from Collier gov to whatever it is now.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But the Collier net still works.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, okay.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Mike, I retract my request. Do not send it to my personal
e-mail. It would be a full-time job for them to look through my e-mail.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Before -- before we go into the -- I was just going to
ask Mr. Yovanovich, I assume, sir, that you do not object to our proceeding without the benefit of
these e-mails?
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, but if I could just chime in. There's got to be a way to notify
an applicant of e-mails that are coming into you-all so we at least are not -- we can respond
appropriately, if necessary, because it's really not fair to us if we're excluded from that. And I
don't want to spend all day ex parte -- asking you-all questions about what ex parte you may or may
not have received.

So if we could find a way that we can be provided copies of that as well, because the only
thing we see in the packet is from a Mr. Dixon, and there were a few from Mr. Dixon. One of
them was asking for your e-mail addresses.
So other than that, I wasn't aware of any until I think I spoke to you, Mr. Chairman, that
you had received --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. YOVANOVICH: -- several e-mails.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's interesting to me because I assume -- and I'll bet other
planning commissioners did -- that applicants are seeing all these e-mails.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We -- if you look at those, usually we're not a cc on those e-mails.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. A question for staff. Shouldn't -- shouldn't they be sent
as a matter of course to the applicant?
MR. BOSI: When the e-mails are received prior to distribution of the packet, everything
that staff receives is put into the packet that the Planning Commission is to review for the material
for the upcoming hearing.
We have -- we have not, I think, made a matter of practice of forwarding those to the
applicant. They -- everything we receive before distribution, though, is available to the applicant
the second that the agenda packet and all the materials is made available. But just speaking with
Mr. Bellows, we're going to stress to our applicants to make sure that the applicants are provided
copies prior to the distribution of the packet.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Part of the problem is -- maybe I'm wrong -- is somebody
sends out a list of addresses for all the commissioners, and they send them -- they don't even copy
you.
MR. BOSI: No.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So you don't get them, and how do you get them to
Mr. Yovanovich?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It puts the burden on us.
MR. BOSI: If staff is not included in it, staff is unaware that these e-mails exist.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And in that case, somebody on the Planning Commission needs to
copy Mike Bosi so that staff has it.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I received e-mails that staff wasn't copied on. I
forward them to Ailyn when I get them.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good. Well, that works, too.
And I apologize, Court Reporter, I'm talking over people. I'll try not to do that.
Without further ado, Mr. Yovanovich, you may proceed.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Thank you. Good morning. For the record, Rich Yovanovich on
behalf of the property owner and applicant.
With me today is Don Schrotenboer. He's the owner's rep. Mr. Arnold is the planner.
Jeff Straw will be speaking to you about how the blasting actually occurs and how it's monitored,
and Barry Blankenship is here to answer any question you may have about the actual operations.
Before I get into too much detail on this, what we did is we also reviewed the previous
minutes, and I believe it was -- there were comments about how we're currently operating and that
those current operations are satisfying the neighbors as far as addressing concerns or vibrations, et
cetera.
So what we're going to do on the record today is codify what's currently being done. So if
the operators change, any operator will have to meet the current standards. And we'll go through
that in a little bit greater detail.
The property is on your visualizer. It's 2,560 acres. It's an existing mine operation. It's
on -- this is the Randall Curve, as we refer to it. If you all remember, we have a couple of
mixed-use commercial projects on this corner. You have commercial down through here.
This is Oil Well Road. And if you remember, this is Rivergrass Village. This is

Brightshore Village. Some it's in an area that is becoming more and more active as part of the
development as anticipated through the Growth Management Plan.
You can see on this aerial map that there are ongoing mining operations that are occurring
on the site, and they have been occurring on the site since roughly the year 2000. Blasting hasn't
always been part of the operations, but mining has been part of the operations since April the year
2000.
Blasting has been approved subsequent to the original application, and blasting has been
occurring for, you know, as you can see -- roughly around '04 to '06, I think, is when blasting
started and has been occurring since -- you know, for almost 20 years at this point. And over time,
the resolutions have changed and conditions have changed.
And I know Mr. Sparrazza's going to talk about the surety that's part of that and other
aspects of that. But there has been a requirement for a surety since, the best I can confirm, 2007 in
the resolution that I've reviewed for this project.
The land is designated agricultural. It's within the Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District. It's
within receiving lands. So at some point in the future, it is anticipated that this property will be a
residential development, and the zoning is in place for that to occur under your Land Development
Code unless they decide to do a village. And if they do a village, we'll be back in front of you-all
for that.
The request is to modify the blasting area, and there will be a minimum of 1300 feet from
the mine where we blast to the property boundary as part of the conditions, and as you'll -- and
Wayne will take you through in greater detail where we can blast now and where we're asking to be
able to blast in the future.
And we've up -- we're updating a few of the conditions in the conditional-use application.
As you're aware, there are currently 38 conditions, and as we go through this process, we've kind of
reorganized those and got rid of the ones that have already been satisfied, so we're at 32 conditions.
I'm not going to go through all of the conditions. I know you've seen those. I'm just
going to hit a few of the highlights of changes to the resolution and the conditions that we're
proposing since the last hearing in front of you-all that didn't occur but there was public speakers.
First, we're requesting that we take out the name of the actual operator and we just be
required to tell county staff who the operator is and to notify the public as to who that operator is,
because there's a process where the public can ask to be on an e-mail list, and we'll do that. I
didn't want to have to come back and amend the resolution if the operator's name changed, so that's
the reason for that change.
Conditions 25 and 26 are related to how operations are currently occurring. And
Mr. Shaw [sic] will get into greater details about what this really means from a technical
standpoint. But we're reducing the maximum load per hole from 100 pounds to 85 pounds of
explosives, and we're reducing the number of holes per month from 1680 to 1320. So there will
not be as much activity as is authorized under the current resolution.
We are currently required to have three seismographs. We're adding a fourth, and
Mr. Shaw will tell you where that is. And those are basically the changes from what was
previously proposed as part of the conditions and as a result of our review of the previous minutes
from the public comment at that time.
I'm going to turn it over to Wayne to take you through the changes in the blasting areas as
part of the process, and then Mr. Shaw will come up and hopefully -- he did it for me. He made it
simple enough for this person to understand how the blasting actually works and how the vibrations
actually work and what damage could or could not occur from the blasting operations.
With that, that's a brief overview of what we're proposing. I'm available to answer any
questions you want to ask now, or if you want to wait until the end of the presentation, I'm happy to
answer any questions.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No one -- oh, now Commissioner Vernon is signaling.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I guess in looking at the transcript, my

recollection is that something happened on September 14th that caused the main problem. You
know, my impression from last time and this time is the applicant is trying to be a good neighbor.
I was a little worried about selling -- if the property sold to somebody's who's not a good neighbor,
so -- and we may not be -- this may be beyond the purview of what we can do. But I want to
figure out, is there any kind of teeth we can put into this if a 9/14 happens again?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, there's already a process. If there's -- I don't want to -- 9/14
was -- there was a blast that occurred on 9/14. I don't want to get into whether or not that blast
actually caused the damage that was alleged to have occurred as a result of a blast. I don't want to
get into that. But we did come out, and we met with the neighbors, we heard their concerns, and
we made adjustments to the operations.
Mainly, the adjustment was -- and I know enough about blasting now to be a little bit
dangerous on that topic. It starts with -- and Mr. Shaw will correct me if I'm getting this strong.
It really starts with where you start the initial blast and the sequencing of the blast.
So what we've done -- in that case we started away and came closer. We've now reversed
that to make sure that it starts closest and goes furthest away to make sure that we're not going to
have the amount of vibration that was felt on that day.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And who's the neighbor on the direction you're going
now?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, the direction we're going to go now is away from -- make
sure we're away from any neighbors, going in the opposite direction.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right. But what is it -- do you know what it's zoned or
what -- what is next to the other side?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I believe it's Estates there. It's Estates zoning there, yeah. So
that's an agricultural, obviously, designation, but they're homes that are on those larger lots. So.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: No complaints from that side?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, there was -- I think Mr. Dixon spoke of some issues he had
on the 14th or -- I don't remember the exact name of the gentleman, but I thought it was Mr. Dixon.
But we're not -- first of all -- and I'm sure you'll hear this from staff, we haven't heard any
complaints since the 14th.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. My impression in hearing the folks is the 14th was
the problem.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Right.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And there have been some before and after that were not a
problem at all.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Primarily not a problem.
But my thought is -- and there may be -- it may be beyond our jurisdiction to do anything,
but I'm trying to -- and I'm talking to my fellow members up here as well. But, you know, I'd like
to put some teeth into it that if it -- 9/14 -- and I know we can dispute whether anything happened,
but it's something that concerns the neighbors. Like 9/14 happens, what -- is there anything we
can do? And that may be more for staff or legal than for you, but I'm just trying to tell you where
my thought process is.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I understand. And hopefully when Mr. Shaw goes through this
process and explains how it actually occurs -- keep in mind, there's a staff person at every blast, so
county is there. They are observing every blast that we do, and they're on the property lines.
They're not next to the blast. And staff can explain that to you better than I can. It's not an
unmonitored blast that occurs.
So hopefully -- hopefully the adjustments we've made here codifies how the operations are
occurring. So hopefully that will mean there's no longer a September -- September 14th event, but
know that staff's there to observe to make sure we're not violating the regulations applicable to this
mine. Other than that, I don't know much more we could do.

COMMISISONER VERNON: Well, I just wanted you to know where -- my thought
process --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: -- as your team stands up and starts talking, that's where
my head is.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure. Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If I may also say -- try to -- excuse me. In a conversation I had in
some detail with Ms. Cook on Tuesday, we got into the specifics about how the monitoring and
regulation works. And I expect she would be offering testimony when staff's time comes. I
expect she would be in a position to do that. And if not, we'd certainly ask her to, because there's
a lot more behind this that can be said.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Thank you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Any other -- any other questions?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just probably -- I'm probably jumping the gun, but for me it's
simple. You have a conditional use, and you're coming in to reduce the spacing -- or increase the
blast area so there's less spacing with the surrounding property lines.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I just want to make sure we all understand that. We're
not -- we're increasing the blast area --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- which is going to take, supposedly, a problem that we hear
a lot about. And what I'm looking for is to hear how increasing will not make it worse for the
residents.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And that's why Mr. Shaw's here. He can explain the technical
aspects of how the blasting occurs and how the regulations work. And I think he's the person
that's going to be the most important for you to hear about on that topic.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Rich?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Let me get his concerned, just so you know, about regulations.
It's more about actual impact.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And he will --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Regulations don't protect the neighbors.
MR. YOVANOVICH: He's going to get into the details of what the .2 feet per second
means.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It looks like these are changes from what's in the package --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: -- and what Derek reviewed, so he's not seen these or reviewed
these.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I understand, but they're reductions from what's already approved.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay. And then the conditions you're offering that has the
limitations on blasting, you're offering it notwithstanding the Florida Statutes on blasting?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Correct? Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And they're more restrictive, I believe, correct?
MR. YOVANOVICH: They are.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, okay.
And before you stand down, Mr. Yovanovich, maybe if you don't mind, I'll take up the
question I asked you yesterday on the telephone: Is there a chance that as your client ceases
blasting in a particular area, it would be willing to relinquish its authority to use that property for
blasting? And I'm given to understand that when it gets down too deep it's not -- it's not
economically feasible to continue blasting. And it would be nice if we could, through a surrender

process of some kind, come up with zeroing out.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Did you have a chance to --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes. And I've talked to my client, and that's fine.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It is fine? All right.
MR. YOVANOVICH: That's acceptable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Are you going to offer some language on that? At the proper
time?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't know. I don't have any language to that, but I think we're
going to have to do that during a break.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: To put a little more skin on the bones, thinking about it further,
and also some of the comments you made, it seems to me that as of -- as of right now, we could
exclude that property, and then if we could get a covenant from you that as your client, in good
faith, ceases the need to blast in an area, that that would come out without waiting for the next
public hearing of some sort.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: One more thing. Would you mind going back to the
photo? Right there. Right there.
Okay. It looks like -- you see the lighter green areas, are those former blast areas, or is
that former agriculture? What is that?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I want to make sure -- are you talking about over here,
Mr. Vernon?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, in the -- if it's north, the northwest, northeast, and
southwest.
MR. YOVANOVICH: You talking about right here?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: No. I'm talking about the big light color -- yes, that one.
MR. YOVANOVICH: That's ag operations.
COMMISISONER VERNON: Those are ag?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yep.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: All right. Let me get back to where I was and let Mr. Arnold take
back over.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. ARNOLD: Good morning, Mr. Chair and Planning Commissioners. I'm Wayne
Arnold, a certified planner with Grady Minor & Associates.
And I've got a few slides. I just wanted to maybe lay the groundwork of why we're here.
So this conditional use was previously approved and, as you know, there's typically a site
plan that's approved as part of the conditional use, and in this case there was also a separate blast
exhibit that was approved when the blast was -- blasting was added to the conditional use some
years ago.
So what our mission was, to come in and try to modify the blasting exhibit because, you
know, this is the only operating aggregate mine in Collier County, which is important, because the
aggregate that comes out of here, the limestone aggregate is used for many things. From the aerial
photograph, you can see that there's already some lake areas. Those were shallow scrapings of fill
dirt that came off this before the blasting area was approved.
So those areas were mined for fill dirt, but there's also hard lime rock deposits on this site,
which is why the blasting is necessary to break up the aggregate so it can be taken out of the soil.
It's broken up into various sizes. It's used for roadbed material, it's used for making asphalt, it's
used for making concrete, and there's some residual fill that's allowed as well.
But it's really important because there are not that many hard rock deposits. Rich and I
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 17 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 12 of 102
worked on an earth mine proposal many years ago that had been withdrawn, and it was the Hussey
property, which the county now owns. But that's another vein of hard rock deposits that runs
through the county, and that was an important resource.
So it is a resource that's recognized through the state as an important resource, and it's
important to Collier County. It's important to our region. And the nearest other mine that has
aggregate coming out of it, I think it's in Bonita, and that mine is in its process of closing down.
So this is a necessary part of what we do for a living, and that is we continue to build roads
and infrastructure. So that's why it's very important.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Arnold, in your experience, is the life cycle of sites like this,
the natural resources are removed, the site is restored, and then rezoned to a different probably less
noisy use; is that --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- what we can expect?
MR. ARNOLD: Yes. And in this particular case, you-all saw plan amendments a couple
years ago which allowed for there to be a rural village in this location, or it can be zoned under the
current process for homes. But the intent here is that there would be homes around this lake in
some configuration in the future.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So it's not something, just because of a scarcity of resources, that's
going to go on forever, is it?
MR. ARNOLD: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. ARNOLD: Yeah. And in this particular case, the blast area was designated as the
blasting area, which is on the visualizer, the crosshatched area was the no-blast zone. So the
no-blast zone was set up to be about 3 -- 2600 feet or so. And in talking to the mine operators,
they've been out there digging and blasting. They've realized that the depth of the rock really is in
a different configuration than just the rectangle that's been drawn there. So there's an opportunity
to go back in and get more of this resource that's vitally important to their community, and we
enlisted Jeff Straw, who is one expert in seismology, to look at this and find out if we kept the
same blasting protocol that's in place today, the same amount of the -- the same vibration
allowances, the same explosive allowances, and things of that nature, would we have an impact if
we grew the blast area.
And Jeff did the analysis, and he's going to talk about that analysis that we submitted as
part of the application. And his conclusion was, if we kept all the blasting protocol as is, the
1300-foot line that we've requested would not cause any impact to the adjoining homes.
And as Rich mentioned, we had three seismograph locations. We'll show you an exhibit
later that shows where a fourth one is being added at a resident's request so they can monitor a little
bit farther away. And Jeff will get into this in a few minutes, but -- so those of us who don't deal
with earth mining and blasting rock every day, there are vibrations that go through the rock, and a
lot of the vibration depends on how dense the rock is or how -- the lack of density in the rock and
how that gets dissipated through the rock. So you'll hear a little bit about that in a minute.
So just to set the premise of why we're here. We were amending the blast exhibit and not
wanting to amend those conditions, but as Rich just showed you on the visualizer, we're willing to
reduce the blast load and the number of holes that they can blast per month because we think that
that addresses the protocol that was addressed in the field by the mine operator back after the
September event.
So this is on an aerial photograph that shows you the blast area. You can clearly see the
phases of the lake. The current blasting operation is occurring to the -- sort of the southeast
portion of the lake. And one of the conditions previously approved is that they had to mine east to
west. So you're taking it farther away from the Estates residences that are to our east and to our
south. So the blasting protocol is to blast from east to west and south to north, if you will. And
you can see there are two phases here. The first phase is largely the lake that was previously
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 18 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 13 of 102
started as fill dirt operation, and then the Phase 2 is to the north.
So we still maintain a lot of areas in this proposal that are no blast. It's at least 1300 feet.
In some cases you can see it grows considerably more, but that's based on where the lake area
currently is and allowance for future homes as well.
This is the blast zone comparison. So the yellow identifies the expanded blast zone. And
what I didn't point out is, so the limits of the mining operation today are the purple line that
surrounds this. So everything within that purple area can be dug today, and whether they go in
there and just use, you know, mechanical equipment to take the topsoil down to the hard
rock -- and then there's still a pecking process where I'm sure, Mr. Schmidt, you've been around
construction enough to have known that. But they can come in with mechanical equipment and
peck the rock. It's not as efficient as blasting, which is why the blasting is the more efficient way
to get at that hard material. But it wouldn't preclude us from going in and using another
mechanical process to get at the -- if the blasting expansion is not approved. It just makes it that
much more difficult and a lengthier process.
Some photos. The mine has been operating, as we've said, in some capacity for around 20
years out there. There is an existing perimeter berm and buffer that was required along the east
and south parts of the property. There are canals that separate this property from Golden Gate
Estates. One is a 60-foot-wide canal to the east and an 80-foot-wide canal to the south, and there's
a 20-foot-high berm that has been planted, and it looks like it has some exotic vegetation in it at
this point, but there is a berm that is there.
There's a separate condition that was mentioned, I think, by Mr. Sparrazza to Rich about
there -- there's also a condition that talks about the equipment also having attenuation on the motors
to reduce noise of the mechanical equipment that's out there. Then there's also a condition that
says if that's unsuccessful -- unsuccessful in attenuating the noise, that they would have to build a
berm around that equipment.
And so you've got a perimeter berm, and then you also have the requirements to attenuate
the equipment where they're actually operating the equipment, and then there's also a requirement,
if determined that that's not sufficient, that they have to then build a berm around the equipment
that's operating to help attenuate the noise.
So there are many safeguards in place. And one of the things that I would mention -- and
I'll go back to it on Rich's slide that he concluded with. And it's not highlighted because this was
already in your packet. But Condition No. 30, which is on the upper right-hand side of that page,
after our neighborhood information meeting, we had several neighbors that said, you know, but
we're not aware of when the blasting occurs.
And what we did after that, we established a condition that said that we would -- within a
mile radius, we would notify all property owners and ask them if they wanted to be included in
blast notification, and then we would obtain their phone number, e-mail address, whatever means
that they want us to contact them, and we would notify them in advance of any blast activity so at
least there's no surprise. They would know in advance when a blast is going to occur on site.
And, again, those blasts are limited to eight days per month.
So it's not an extensive amount of blasting, but at least we would notify them, and they
would have an opportunity to at least be aware of that. But I thought I would highlight that
because that was one thing that came out of the neighborhood information meeting that we thought
would be at least helpful for notification purposes.
So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Jeff Straw, who's a seismic expert and has dealt
with mining all over the East Coast of Florida. He's a renowned expert in the field, and I think
some of the education will be helpful for all of us as we make the decision to expand the blasting
area.
MR. STRAW: Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, good morning. For the record, my
name is Jeffrey Straw. I'm vice president and area manager of GeoSonics.
We are vibration acoustic consultants, seismologists. For the last 45 years I've worked in
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 19 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

the industry, for the last 43 of those here in Southwest and Southeast Florida handling the state of
Florida. We measure ground vibration from blasting, pile driving, all kinds of manmade vibration
in structures, outside of structures, what effects on structures there are, and we have been
associated with this project since its beginning.
Just as some general overview, I think it's important to know that mining occurs where the
resource exists, not where it's convenient. You can't go out in Florida and just start digging a hole
and expect to find rock. That does not happen with the geologic strata, as Wayne talked about.
It's in this area. That's why the mining was starting here in the first place.
Material also has to be of a quality to create finished aggregate. That's where it's crushed,
processed, washed, and then it can be sent in specific sizes so they can use it. Concrete asphalt,
you know, concrete block, they all use different sizes of material.
And here, due to the depth and hardness of the rock, we use commercial explosives to
actually break the rock for excavation. So that process is handled through a drilling contractor,
also through a licensed Florida blaster.
And, honestly, the original monitoring of the work in The Quarry we started in
August/September of 2006. There was some work ahead of time. There were some evaluations
done at the beginning that we did back in the time, and we have maintained as what we call the
independent seismologist monitoring through this period. So we know very well what's going on.
I know that you-all have raised some issues about oversight and regulation, and just so that
you know, Collier County established originally 42 conditions. Some of those have been satisfied,
so they've been pared down to where we are today. But the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, DEP, has a permit. They follow up on this. Also, the State of Florida,
it's the Department of Financial Services now, but it's the Division of State Fire Marshal. They
have what is called construction materials mining activity, and there is a separate permit that is
handled through the state, through the state fire marshal's office that is then monitored by the state
on a regular basis.
There's a number of other things that are out there: DOJ; Bureau of Tobacco; Alcohol
Tobacco Firearms & Explosives, ATF&E; and then we have state and federal DOT requirements.
There is no material stored on site. Everything is prepared. The site's prepared, the explosives
contractor brings in what he needs for the day, loads what he needs to do, and at the end of the day,
that goes back to a licensed magazine that's controlled by the state.
Since the rock hardness exceeds mechanical excavator's ability to break the rock -- I mean,
the rock is not one solid piece of steel or anything like that. It has cracks. It has voids. But it is
hard enough that at the depth that they are, they cannot use mechanical excavators. Now, you can
use the rock breakers that were talked about earlier, but those start at 7 o'clock in the morning, they
go till 7 or 8 at night, and they go nonstop all day long. They still produce vibration, and they do
produce a lot of noise.
So the use of commercial explosives is done for the efficiency so that that can be done.
And you can see there's a picture of the -- a drill. That is here. This is a special Florida drill. It
drills one single hole, one pass. They drill, then they put a cardboard tube into the existing hole,
and then it's developed in a pattern.
Now, there's a scientific approach to all of this. This is not done just by the seat of the
pants. There's a blasting plan that is developed, the site locations are identified for all blasts, then
the drilling's completed, as I said, by the specialty drills, and then you have professional licensed
explosives contractors that load and detonate all the holes.
The material is a semiliquid paste, if you will. You know, it's a slurry. We call it an
emulsion in some cases. That is pumped into the hole. There's a booster and a timing device,
which is known as a blasting cap. In many of these we use nonelectric or electronic blasting caps
to help individually delay the holes so that that pattern that I showed before that's down here in the
corner, those holes detonate individually. They detonate thousandths of a second apart.
So for the blaster, that works to help fragment the rock better, honestly, than one big blast.

And for us as vibration consultants, that helps reduce the ground vibration.
And as was stated earlier, the September 14th blast was where do you initiate from. So in
that pattern you take a point. On that day it was initiated farthest away, driving vibration towards
some of the neighbors. That has been turned around, and that has been a management decision
that's been made by the blaster to, you know, reduce offsite vibration and control that.
Currently, the blasting hours are allowed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by the
state. In this, Collier has reduced that between the hours of 9 and 4. There are no weekends, and
there are no holidays on the state calendar.
And as was mentioned earlier, Collier County, from the beginning, has had an inspector on
the site. Somebody from the -- I don't know whether it's Engineering or, you know, building
department comes out and is there for each site. They're contacted ahead of time. They are there
to be able to watch the loading and the detonation, and then they get the results.
And we also are limited to eight blasts per month. That's it. And with the new reduction
in number of holes, that still is -- we'll still end up being that same time. So there are only eight
per month.
How do we measure and figure out what's going on? Well, through the permitting, the
state fire marshal's office, through the requirements of Collier County, and the two chapter -- the
chapters there, 552.30 of the Florida Statutes, and Chapters 69A of the Florida Administrative
Control -- Code really controls how blasting is required to be done as well as what is supplemented
by your rules.
One of the things is they require third-party monitoring of vibration and air over-pressure.
That's what my firm does. So we specialize in having instrumentation that monitors what goes on.
And you can see in the picture to the right there are four green boxes that are highlighted. Those
are the current four seismographs. The one to the north at the top of the photo, the one to the right
on the east side, and the one to the south are all -- were all originally required in the original
special-use permits that were issued for this property. The one at the farthest south is one that has
been recently added, and that is an additional condition that was mentioned.
The seismographs are typically at the closest structure, and then we have -- obviously, can
add additional machines as necessary to follow up to address concerns or additional measurements.
And to talk a little bit about what we actually do, when the -- when the explosives are
detonated, we call it a detonation. It's a very rapid burning of this commercial material in the blast
hole. What happens is when it moves outward from the bore hole, it crushes about half to
three-quarters of the distance to the next blast hole so that when they all go off, they are all
fragmenting rock.
Outside of that 15-foot or so maximum distance, there is no further rock disturbance other
than, you know, in the pattern itself. So you're breaking that rock in that area, and that is all.
There is nothing else that displaces the ground.
What we have is vibration that goes out. And the best way to think about this is similar to
dropping a rock in a quiet pond. You get a splash at the close point, and then you see the waves
move outward. They reduce in height, which is what we call amplitude or intensity, as they go
out. They get farther apart. They also change in what we call frequency, and those are two of the
key things that we look at with the seismographs.
The seismographs are in place. They're much more sensitive than we are as people.
We're really good at feeling vibration, but we can't tell what the levels are. That's why the
instrumentation is there.
So people in their homes feel vibration as it excites the foundation, excites the rock, but
we're talking about vibrations that you can't see other than, you know, the rock and the pond kind
of thing; you can see those out here. They're thousands of feet apart, and you can't see them.
That's why we have the instrumentation.
And what we measure is what we call particle velocity. So when I talk about standards,
we're talking about how fast a particle of ground shakes and moves from rest temporarily.
5.A.a

Page 16 of 102
So all of this is -- you know, if I do that on the desk, I've now created vibration that's gone
through that whole desk, and then eventually it dies out. The same thing we have with ground
vibration. The natural soils, the water, the rock materials that we have all attenuate the ground
vibration we're dealing with.
So everything is measured by a seismograph. That box that you see in the upper left part
of the pictures is one of our remote seismographs. Those are automatically connected. We are
the only ones that ever mess with them. Those are the ones that are put out. All of the
instruments are running from daylight till sunset.
We have working hours. We know that they can blast between the hours of 9 and 4; 8 to 5
with the state. Most of our stuff comes on at 7 in the morning and runs till 7 or 8 o'clock at night
so that we're covered a period of time that they're there.
Anything that gets triggered that causes that seismograph to trigger sends an alert, and we
get information in our office.
They're independently designed. They're calibrated to standard, so the International
Society of Explosives Engineers which tell us, you know, how to calibrate those. They are all
calibrated. There's a calibration pulse. And on the right side, you see a vibration wave form.
That's this diagram here. These are the actual vibration waves in three components that we
measure. This is also what we call air blasts, and I'll talk about that in a second, and then these are
the calibration pulses.
So every time a ground vibration occurs, the seismographs measure that, and then they
report that to us. The instruments are all cellularly connected. They download immediately, and
then what happens is we get those to the quarry operators and they, in turn, give those to the Collier
County inspector that's there. So they have this within five to seven minutes after the blast going
on.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: May I ask you a question?
MR. STRAW: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Where does it sense this peak particle velocity; a hundred feet
in the ground or right at the surface?
MR. STRAW: It's at the surface. We are about -- anywhere between six to 12 inches
buried. The reason being is twofold. One, ground vibration, when you get out from the site, even
though the hole may be 25 foot deep, it very rapidly into [sic] the energy attenuates and moves
towards the surface. So we're dealing with what we call surface waves so that they are moving
across the ground. The other thing is, that's where we build our houses. So we are building on
the surface of the ground. So we are measuring at that structure and getting the vibration energy
that's coming to that structure. And so that's where we are measuring those surface waves.
There's multiple years of study. I've been doing this, you know, almost 46 years, and I
know that there's about another 45 years of study that has been ongoing before I even started in this
kind of thing.
So we know very, very well what the energy does and how it gets there. And so that's
why the seismographs are there. We look at them in different directions to evaluate each one.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So you would consider that the worst-case scenario for the
vibration being right at the slab level for the houses?
MR. STRAW: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MR. STRAW: I mean, that's what we're -- understand what our ultimate goal is. Our
ultimate goal here is to make sure that at that structure we are not creating vibration that would
cause even the most minor cosmetic damage. We're talking about peeling the paint, extensions of
existing cracks in drywall or plaster, formation of new cracks at the corners of building materials.
Those are the most fragile building materials. Plaster on lathe and drywall are the two most fragile
materials that exist, and we have standards for those, and that's what we're using. And then the
standards that have been developed are designed to protect those from occurring.

So we're looking at all that. That's why we're measuring where we are. And there's a
whole protocol, too, from the International Society of Explosive Engineers. You know, we're
members to that. We've helped develop some of these standards. I've been on those committees
to develop those standards to make sure that we are generating and everybody is measuring the
same way. So there's a whole seismograph operator setup that we have for those two.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
MR. STRAW: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Jeff, just so you're aware, I'm an army engineer, so I've
been trained in explosives. Trained to build things, but also to destroy things.
MR. STRAW: I understand.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And so I've had a lot of experience with explosives. But
I want to talk about the calibration. And you hit on a couple of things. These are all integrated
systems? It's all four tied together?
MR. STRAW: You mean the channels? Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And it's sending you information realtime?
MR. STRAW: Well, as soon as it triggers. The instrument -- the instruments are
designed to set and run, and we have what we call a trigger level.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. STRAW: Normally it's about what we would have walking across the floor so that
the machine is -- it comes in in the morning. It calibrates itself. It sends us a signal that tells us,
hey, the seismograph at the north side of the 846 mine, you know, is operating fine. We look at
those every morning.
We get that trigger, then, by some event. And we get people cutting grass or, you know,
driving vehicles near them that will set them off, and then we get that and then we --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So you're validating every day --
MR. STRAW: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- that these are operational?
MR. STRAW: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Calibration is done by your firm?
MR. STRAW: Calibration is done by our firm. We are a manufacturer of these
instruments as well as a user, and so that's where the Society of Explosive Engineers standards
come in. They are for all of the instrument manufacturers. And to be honest, there's maybe a half
dozen in the world that make seismographs.
And so those standards, we have a shop that manufacturers them actually in St. Pete for our
firm, and they go to our Warrendale, Pennsylvania, office where they undergo final testing and
calibration and is validated.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Does the state come out and validate the calibration, or
you're providing that information to the state?
MR. STRAW: We provide that information to the state. There's an annual -- a minimum
annual inspection that's done by the state for each mine in the state under this, and they look at the
calibration certificates as well as all of the records that are there to identify everything has been
done to the state standard.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So the efficacy of the data, you're validating prior -- well,
let me rephrase the question. On a blast day, you're first validating that all the systems are
operational?
MR. STRAW: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: If one is not operational, you call off the blast?
MR. STRAW: We don't call off the blast. What I do is -- what -- actually, Katie Mayer
with my office who's here is my assistant manager. She sends somebody from our Davie, Florida,
office over here to monitor. We tell the blaster you've got to wait till we get here. We'll set up an
instrument. We have portable instruments as well. We set those up in the same manner, repair

the one while it's there, and let them go ahead and blast.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So I guess, in summation, the data I'm getting, it's
calibrated, it's validated, and you're assuring the mine operator that what you're gathering is valid
and, I guess, within protocol standards, acceptable if you were challenged?
MR. STRAW: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. STRAW: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Are these the same systems, like if you were -- if I
were -- because I know we have some of that in Collier County where we may have some surface
blasting to check for -- when geologists are checking for oil or gas or those type of things. Are
these the same kind of systems?
MR. STRAW: They're similar, but they're looking for different things.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, because they're checking vibration and going
down.
MR. STRAW: They're looking for what we call the body waves.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. STRAW: They're looking for the -- they're using a seismograph that has a single
channel sensor. Ours have three plus the sound. So we have four channels on that diagram. We
have the surface. They are looking for attenuation over a distance, and then they are also looking
at what happens with the body waves, the waves that move in the rock. Because what they do
is -- they're not there to break it. They're there to shake it. And so they put what we use to start a
blast, a cast booster, down in a drilled hole, and then they detonate it, and all their seismographs
measure so they can look for anomalies in the geologic structure.
And so it's a little different in that sense. But, technically, if they are near homes when
they're doing this, they should be using one of ours as well, because they still shake. Sometimes
they're worse. I mean, I have done some of this work where, you know, we have done these things
either with the trucks that shake, so you're familiar with the vibroseis trucks as well as the
explosives, and we monitor the surface vibrations because they can be worse than what the blasting
is, typically.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: In summation, I guess, and just for the public in simple
terms, you're validating this every day. Somebody could not -- could somebody go out there and
compromise this, and if they did compromise one of these machines, you would know?
MR. STRAW: Exactly. Because the machines call in. They call in regularly, and we
get -- it's what we call a heartbeat. We get a heartbeat from them, and then we can go back. And
if one doesn't respond when it's supposed to, we get an alert in an e-mail, you know, a text
message, and it tells us. So, yes, we verify everything is going on.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So after the blast, then you get the report?
MR. STRAW: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Do you report back to the operator saying you're well
within parameters?
MR. STRAW: Correct. We let them know what their numbers are, and that's what they
relay to your inspector with the county.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because a follow-on blast, then, they may not put as
many holes in if you're --
MR. STRAW: They will make an adjustment --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Adjustment.
MR. STRAW: -- like they did, from what I understand, with the September 14th. I didn't
hear all the testimony, but, you know, we looked at the records. You know, they will make an
adjustment in the timing. They make an adjustment in the direction of what we call direction of
initiation, if you will, and they can change the load.
There's a number of parameters that we look at, and that's what we've looked at in our
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 24 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 19 of 102
report that we gave to Wayne and to the owner when we looked at this. Can we come closer and
still do this? And the answer is, yes, you make those adjustments.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: One last question on the explosives. So this is not det
cord where it all goes off at once? You said it's synchronized?
MR. STRAW: This is -- this is all using --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Electronic --
MR. STRAW: -- electronic or nonelectronic delay detonators, that nothing goes off with
det cord anymore. You don't use dynamite. You don't use det cord. We use a detonator with a
blasting cap.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Very familiar.
MR. STRAW: Still look the same. It goes into a one, sometimes less, pound cast
booster. It looks like a small Campbell's soup can. That goes to the bottom of the hole. They
load a commercial emulsion in. In this case, it's a pumped semiliquid material, almost like a paste,
a runny paste, if you will, and that's considered a blasting agent, an oxidizer. None of this is high
explosives except for the blasting cap and the booster.
And when those are detonated, they're consumed, and the bulk of the explosives is used.
What we want it to do is detonate and produce gas. We want it to produce the gas to go in and
fragment the rock. There's existing cracks, and that's what we're trying to expand and widen.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: You have two engineers on the Board, so we're getting more
technical than we need to. But on the calibration side, so you calibrate it in the factory. So if it
goes out of calibration in the field, how do you know? How do you re- -- how do you check it in
the field?
MR. STRAW: There's an automatic -- when that -- when that instrument -- the remote
instruments, like you see in the box, when they call in, the first thing they do is wake up, check
their time, date, make sure everything corresponds with our server system, and then it runs a cal
check. And if we get a bad cal, we get a -- we get a notice. And at that point then we say, guys,
you know, if you're going to shoot that day, you can't shoot, or you've got to wait till we get over
here and do it and replace it.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: When you say a cal check, you mean it sends out a standard
velocity particle and they see that --
MR. STRAW: No. The machine actually moves the sensors. They're -- the geophone is
a circular object that has electronic sensors in there. And what happens is the machine actually
makes those sensors move. It's not just a computer signal that says things work. This -- the
instrument actually makes the three sensors move. They're on a line between us and the blast at
right angles and vertically. So you have a three-dimensional, you know, ability to measure, and it
actually moves those sensors. If they don't move --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I just want to make sure you're confident that you are
recalibrating in the field, that that's not an issue that all of a sudden the instrument be wrong.
You're saying you check the calibration on it routinely?
MR. STRAW: That's -- it's done -- with the remote system, it's done every day, and then
if there's something that comes back, we jump into it, you know, and change them out.
That's -- also under the state rule, there's a requirement that if a machine is considered to be
nonfunctional or has some issue with it, it has to be replaced, you know, prior to any other use. So
that's something that we have to follow with.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you.
To understand correctly, you're testing it every day even though the requirements or the
standards here are you're going to be blasting eight days only. So if you're going to blast next
Tuesday, you might still be testing today and tomorrow. Should you find a fault, you do have time

to get there, rectify it before Tuesday's blast?
MR. STRAW: Correct. That's -- that would be ideal.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay.
MR. STRAW: And so, you know, we'd love to have two or three days' notice. Normally
we get --
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Forty-five minutes.
MR. STRAW: Yeah, and then we've got to make a phone call and say, guess what guys,
you've got to hold your shot while we get over here.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: But that's more assurance that the system is operating
correctly and to specification, because you're not just doing it on the eight days of the month.
MR. STRAW: Right.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: You're doing it to every day.
MR. STRAW: We're doing it every day. Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, it doesn't make
any difference. The machine doesn't know any different between holidays, Saturday, Sunday.
So, you know, when it turns on in the morning, it checks. When it shuts off at the end of the day,
it also runs a cal check so that we have the ability to get those if there's an issue.
So, you know, the machine is constantly checking itself because honestly, Commissioners,
you're not asking questions we've not heard before, and, this is, you know, extremely important for
us to have this kind of an evaluation. So, yes, the instruments are checked, they're evaluated, and
then removed if they're not working.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Great. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chair Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: A question again. Are these -- I assume what you stated
previously, but these are sensitive enough -- I'm asking -- to even detect when the drill machine is
drilling? You're going to get vibration through drilling. Are they --
MR. STRAW: Not at the -- not at the offsite loca- -- I know what you're asking. Not at
the offsite location.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Not at the offsite.
MR. STRAW: The distance is far enough away that outside the drill probably within 100
to 150 feet, you don't get anything. You know, where we are even at the proposed closest
location, they're not going to, you know, feel the drill. They may hear the drill --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. STRAW: -- you know, as it's drilling, but it's not something that's going to be
perceived. But, yes, I mean, people walk across the floor, and these seismographs trigger.
They're extremely sensitive instruments.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. STRAW: And so -- I know we've gone on, but I wanted to cover a couple more
things just --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, let me --
MR. STRAW: -- on the standards.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Since we've interrupted you, let us continue to do so, with
apologies. And I'm going to call on Commissioner Schumacher -- Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I apologize for interrupting.
MR. STRAW: No, it's okay. No, no.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Do those monitors measure the air blast as well?
MR. STRAW: Yes, and that's my next-to-last slide so --
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I won't interrupt any more till the end.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to -- maybe you're about to talk about this. You made
a reference a moment ago to sound.
MR. STRAW: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And are you going to say some more about the decibel
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 26 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 21 of 102
measurements; that's part of your purview?
MR. STRAW: I will, yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. That's all I need to know. Please proceed.
MR. STRAW: All right. So we talk about vibration, and we do have standards. Now,
the standards have been designed to prevent any defects in a structure. I know people see thing.
They will call about it. We will evaluate it. There is a program through the state for the state.
For anybody that has a concern, they can go through the state. The state fire marshal looks at it.
But there are some defined limits. I talked about them before, and these are in terms of
what we call peak particle velocity. And we have .5 inch per second. That's the standard for
plaster on lathe. And if you're familiar with that, that's the old farmhouses up north, you know,
central parts of the state where, you know, they've got wood lathe, they put coats of plaster on
them. It's real thick. That's the most fragile building material in the world. We have modern
drywall, .75 inch per second. So it tolerates more.
And then you look at things like stucco, reinforced concrete block joints. It takes 3 inches
per second before you can create a crack in that material. Reinforced concrete, driveways, floor
slabs, you know, other types of construction. I mean, we, years ago, blasted next to the Sawgrass
Expressway, so you have all of those concrete piers for bridges and things like that. That's all
reinforced concrete. It takes over 10 inches per second to do that.
And what we're using as a limit is the .2 inch per second, so we're below all of those
standards, so there's a huge margin of safety between what it takes to cause damage and what
you're using as a limit here for this project.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: You're doing an average. Do you have any limit on what the
peak can be? I mean, if you blast eight times, one of them could have been over 10, and the
average could still be .2.
MR. STRAW: At that point, then, they have violated the state standards, and then the
state comes in and handles that. Because the state has what we call the U.S. Bureau Mines
Criteria, and it's a stair step that we look at vibration and frequency. We look at two things
together. But it starts -- the lowest level it has is the .5 and .75 when we're dealing with surface
waves and low frequency where you'd get the most response of structures.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So those numbers aren't average? They're --
MR. STRAW: These aren't average. Those are absolutes. You know, yours is an
average --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Gotcha.
MR. STRAW: -- and, you know, to take care of that and look at that. But we do have the
state standards on top of that. So not only are we looking at what your standard is -- and that goes
in a report to the owner monthly as well as what they get every day, but then we also look at what
the state criteria is.
And the last one is to talk a little bit about air over-pressure. This is the noise that we
hear. Now, this is -- we don't measure it the way we do community annoyance. We still use
decibels, but we use a little bit of a different scale. We're looking at structure response, so we do
what we call a flat or linear response, because the house -- you know, it doesn't have our ability to
hear. We have a bell-shape curve that we hear from, like, 20 to 20,000 hertz. We hear best about
8- to 9,000 hertz or cycles per second. This, the structure doesn't care about that. We hear what
we have.
And so it's created when the gas that's produced vents at the surface, and so we get a
vibration -- it looks like a vibration trace, but it's actually an air trace that we look at. It's similar
to distant thunder. The state limit is 133, and what you have is 120 as a limit.
So we are looking at all of the aspects that occur with side effects of the use of commercial
explosive.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is that at the property line?
MR. STRAW: That is at the property line, but, you know, it would also apply to any other

house we're monitoring at. Yes, the closest locations we measure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No one else is signaling at this point. Do you have more
presentation, sir?
MR. STRAW: I am done, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Commissioner Vernon.
MR. STRAW: But if there are questions, I'll certainly answer.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I'm not an engineer, so I have no formal training
in blasting. Although, you know, I have plenty of experience with M-80s and bottle rockets and
Roman candles as a kid, so -- I'm not sure that qualifies me.
But the synchronization, it's like -- just like this (indicating), right?
MR. STRAW: Yeah. If you imagine the rock in the pond -- I use just the rock in the
pond as, you know, one big rock going in. But if you imagine what we actually do is break that up
into -- say there's 30 holes in a blast pattern, we break that up into 30 little pieces, and you throw
one in right after another. You get a little bit of a splash, but what happens is you don't get that big
splash. And they're timed and separated enough that they actually help offset the vibrations.
It's a -- this -- you thought we were in the weeds before. This really gets into the weeds in
terms of timing. But we actually do timing from single holes. And we look at that and then
provide recommendations to the blaster on their timing between holes. It helps to offset the
vibration going off property. So, yes, that's what's happening.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So if you -- say, you had 20 blast holes and you blast one,
you wait five minutes, blast another, wait five minutes, it would be more vibration?
MR. STRAW: Yes, because you'd have the single hole all in itself, and we'd only get
through eight because we're only allowed to blast eight times per month. So each one of those
would be considered its individual -- an individual blast, plus we wouldn't break the rock very
much.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: It would be less effective?
MR. STRAW: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay.
MR. STRAW: The amount of explosives that goes in the hole is designed to actually
fragment that rock in that area around each blast hole, and if it's less, you create more vibration. If
they put too much in, it creates more vibration. So they're trying to get this at the -- what we call
the appropriate powered factor or relationship of explosives to the rock material to actually
fragment the rock, and, of course, it depends on what we have. Here we have, you know,
limestone and -- you know, fragmented limestone and water, so that's what you're looking at.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And then did you look at any of the records regarding the
9/14/22 incident?
MR. STRAW: I did.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: What did you see that was -- what did you see that was
different?
MR. STRAW: Not very much. There's a difference in the levels. I know the 9/14 -- I
don't remember the 22nd off the top of my head. The 9/14 had .16 as its highest -- highest
reading. That was probably on -- and as I recall, that was on the vertical channel. So if we go
back to this record, that would be this channel here. This is not that same record, but --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right.
MR. STRAW: -- here looking at it, the vertical channel causes motion that people feel.
We also generate some technical waves we call Rayleigh waves that are surface waves that cause
some repetitious vibration in the house. They're always there because of the distance that we're
dealing with. But that's the difference. And by orienting the blast the next day, you help reduce
those from occurring.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. So I don't know how to ask the question, but what
anomalies did you see, other than what you've already said, on September 14th?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: I need to interrupt if I may, and I -- Mr. Yovanovich is about to do
so anyway, but these -- this is not to open the door to this line of questioning. Where do you stand
on that?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I want you-all to be totally comfortable that how we're operating
is not causing damage. And if Mr. Vernon wants to ask questions about the specifics of that
day -- I know your staff has the records, but, you know, Jeff's the guy to answer Mr. Vernon's
questions, and I'm fine with that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: While Rich is at the mic, may I ask him a question?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Ask me a question or --
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah, you. Notwithstanding the Florida Statutes preemption on
blasting for Collier County, your client is agreeing to the conditions that you've placed on the
visualizer for enforcement and regulation by the county notwithstanding the statutes?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay. Thank you. Based on the conditions that they've
offered.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And then in your opinion, County Attorney, the
preemption doesn't apply in this particular case because it's waivable?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, the county, if it comes to it, will try to enforce the
conditions whether or not they can ultimately be overrided even though this is conditions that are
offered by the owner. You know, I can't really answer how that would play, but that would make
the enforcement more enforceable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you very much.
All right. Mr. Straw?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, I just -- go ahead. I just want to get your insights
on whatever you can tell us about 9/14 distinguished from the other blasts.
MR. STRAW: The young lady here said she could pull those up, and I can look at them
and maybe highlight that if --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: While this is being prepared, I just want to alert everyone that
we're coming up to a midmorning break at 10:30.
Mr. Bosi?
MR. BOSI: And just for your awareness, staff does have a short 25-second video of a
blast going off from a pretty close location that -- at some point in time, if you'd like to see it, just
request it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It sounds like we would. Thank you.
MR. STRAW: I think, you know, briefly, in terms of, you know, what I'm seeing, this is,
as I'm told, the 9/14 blast. So you can see the date up here, the location. And then what we have
is the actual wave form. I think one of the things I noticed here is this is some of the Rayleigh
waves that I talked about, the surface wave. It's well below what the standards are. And the
standard here over in the corner, the maximum on the vertical channel, is .16. The frequency's 33
hertz. If you're looking at it, that's where -- this area in here is where the peak is, right here.
But there's this low frequency that -- information that comes in that at the end of the wave,
you still get some response of a structure. The other thing I'm noticing here is there's some air
over-pressure or air blasts, as we just talked about. So not only do you feel this, the house would
then respond to this. So that may be part of what we're looking at.
Now, if you look at the standards, this is a plot of the vibration versus the U.S. Bureau of
Mines and what the State of Florida has. Your criteria is .2, and there would be a line straight
across here averaged. The state allows this curve depending on the change in vibration frequency.
So it permits out here where this one was .16 at 31.3, so it's out in here. It
produces -- allows a lot more vibration, still not causing damage to structure, but this is what the
perception is from there, and that's January 3rd. These are some of the other vibration waves you

have.
This is -- this is a different one. This is -- we just looked at it before. This one just
happened to be up here. It's January 16th. You can see that in the vertical trace here there's a
little bit of the Rayleigh wave. It's not as much. There's not as much air over-pressure. The
blast was probably oriented in a different direction to that.
So those are some of the things that we look at that we see. That would be consistent with
what happened between the 16th and the 24th.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And the higher numbers on the 9/14, would you attribute
that to anything other than the direction of the blast? And if so, what?
MR. STRAW: I don't think -- I don't think there's any real change, because it depends on
which seismograph is closest that you're looking at. You know, it's the closest seismograph -- or
we have three and then the fourth now.
So looking at -- looking at that seismograph there, the orientation of the blast would drive
vibration so that if you're looking at the original one, you're driving vibration towards this location.
So by orienting the initiation away from structures, we reduce the vibration.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right. And you may have answered the question; I just
didn't understand it. But the numbers were higher on September 14th?
MR. STRAW: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Based on your 40-years -- plus-years of experience, why
were the numbers higher?
MR. STRAW: More orientation. Because they're loading the same amount of product.
As I recall -- and I don't have everything in front of me. But looking at it, the load is the same,
you know, the pattern is the same, the depth is the same. It's more the orientation, and that's what
got changed for the subsequent blasts, and they're paying more attention to that.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Anything else? You said more the orientation, which I
understand. But anything else you could attribute that to?
MR. STRAW: The only thing that I see that's different is this part of the air blast with,
you know, other blasts that were on the computer here that I'm looking at. There's a little bit here,
but this is reduced. And you can see this, how much lower the air over-pressure is. The air
over-pressure is something that causes house rattling as well.
So I think those two things, the confinement of the shot on subsequent blasts appears to be
better. Meaning that when the blast detonates, understand the hole -- the holes individually
detonate. They create gas. Eventually they vent at the surface. When that gas comes out, there's
stemming material that's on top of it. It's either water or it's crushed rock that's added to the blast
hole. It just holds the explosives in place longer. And what happened on the other blast was there
was more venting of that. And I think the blaster's just taking more precaution to make sure that
the stemming is better applied, if you will.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I know you're answering my question, but the over-air
numbers were higher, right?
MR. STRAW: I believe so.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's what you mentioned. Because I said other than the
orientation, what more did you see.
MR. STRAW: Just the air over-pressure was higher.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right. And air over-pressure, based on your 40-plus
years of experience, was based on -- caused by what?
MR. STRAW: That's the venting of the gases and whether they changed stemming
materials or whether they've added more stemming. I haven't looked into all of that, because
we've got -- the question came more about ground vibration than it came with people talking about
the sound. But you asked the "over" question, you know, what do I see? What do I see here is
the air blast is higher on the initial blast that we're talking about. On the September 14th blast, the
air over-pressure's 115.9. On some of the other ones, it's less than that; 109. That's a significant

reduction.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And based on your experience, you think that was due to
more stemming?
MR. STRAW: More stemming in the blast or that the blast orientation deflected that
energy away.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So it could have been simply due to the orientation?
MR. STRAW: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Or it could have been due to extra stemming. What is
stemming?
MR. STRAW: Stemming is just crushed rock or in this case they also use water in the
hole. You don't fill the hole to the surface. I should -- so that you understand, we have a
cardboard tube in the hole that holds -- keeps sand and other debris out while they've drilled the
pattern. When you load that, it displaces the water in the tube. But we only come up to a certain
height, and then the top part of the column is unloaded. And in many cases they put crushed rock
in there and/or we just use water, which the stemming -- it allows that -- the weight on it allows the
explosives material to go sideways rather than straight back up the hole.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And then I think you mentioned that they had made some
adjustments after that on the --
MR. STRAW: Well, I know that they had done the orientation. This may be as simple as
orientation. I have not gone through everything to look at every parameter to see what did they do
with stemming and the other things, because when we got the question, it was ground vibration.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And what could they do with stemming?
MR. STRAW: Add more or make sure that it's, you know, compacted.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. All right. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Sparrazza, do you have -- is it short? Because
we're --
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: It is, yeah, very short.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: The air over-pressure for normal ones, it looks as if
you're in the 109 dB area?
MR. STRAW: They're certainly lower. I mean, they can be anywhere, I mean,
depending on where you are around the property, and it also depends on the wind conditions.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Correct.
MR. STRAW: So -- but they're less.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: And the maximum was 120.
MR. STRAW: One hundred twenty is what's allowed, correct.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: And on the 14th, it was 115. So 115 is actually 6 dB
above 109, which makes it one-fourth the level of audio.
MR. STRAW: No. It's actually higher than that because these are exponential numbers.
When we look at decibels, 1 to 10 is the same as 10 to 100.
So when you start calculating this, we calculate it by pounds per square inch so that the
change from 109 to 115, 116, whatever that number, you know, is is significantly greater.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay.
MR. STRAW: It's probably, like, three times the energy, if not four times the energy.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yeah, four times the energy.
MR. STRAW: From one blast to the other.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Allowed, correct.
MR. STRAW: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. So you're -- although the maximum is 120 dB,
you're usually, as in this case, 109 or lower?
MR. STRAW: Correct.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Commissioner Vernon has promised me this is going

COMMISSIONER VERNON: Two minutes.
So you said something about wind. Does wind have something to do with this?
MR. STRAW: Wind will affect noise, sure. I mean, this is still --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But not the vibration?
MR. STRAW: No, wind doesn't have anything to do with it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. It's 27 minutes after 10. We'll take a 13-minute recess

MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi.
Let's reconvene, ladies and gentlemen.
And let's -- and I know the vice chairman wants to ask another question. Do you want to
do that now, sir?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I wanted to ask about the strikethroughs on the
conditions, but I'll wait --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- till a time to do that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, it's probably going to be that time if someone helps me get
back onto wherever the presentation is. Which one do I click?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I have two questions, and let's -- if you got the --
MR. YOVANOVICH: I got them. I've got the conditions up for you.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: This is the -- not your conditions. These are the --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Ms. Padron?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- conditions that were part of the staff report. And I'll
tell you which page if you want to do that.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Let me get the --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Do you want the previous or the current -- the proposed?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Close this and start it again.
It was -- stand by, Rich. This is on the packet -- it was part of the -- it's two issues that I
wanted to address, and it's -- I'm just trying to find -- it was part of the conditions, and it was the
strikethrough and underlines.
MR. YOVANOVICH: They're up on the screen if that helps you.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: This was on 29. There was one called 17, $1 per heavy
truckload.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Right.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: It was -- he just had it right here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. My question is: Is there a rational nexus for this
$1? It seems to have always been $1. It goes back probably 20 years it was $1, and I have to
question whether that is sufficient. And I would have to believe that must have come from
Transportation. And is there a rational nexus? Is this sufficient? It reads to me almost like a
usage tax.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Not an impact tax.
COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Is it an impact fee?
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's not an impact fee. It's basically a usage fee to assure that if
we create issues on the road, there's a fund there to fix those issues. And there's also -- so I'm

going to let Mr. Sawyer address that. But that has been, you know, the -- determined to be the
appropriate fee for every mine I've worked on.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. And it seems to have been for many years. And,
of course, inflation is certainly -- it seems to think --
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think they --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'm sort of under the impression a dollar is not enough.
MR. YOVANOVICH: They overcharged us years ago. They finally got it right.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Staff's happy with a dollar.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I haven't heard anything where they've said, "Mr. Yovanovich, do
you want to change that number?"
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Well, the other one is there was a strikethrough,
and it was originally Condition 20. And where was that? And it was -- the one that required the
inspection. If people wanted to have their homes inspected, and that has been now deleted. Is
there -- I recall at one time that seemed to have always been available if a homeowner wanted to
have an inspection prior to blasting so they would at least have a pre- -- pre-blasting conditional
inspections, and if they deemed that blasting caused some kind of --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Right.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- issue with the homes, they would have a pre-inspection
to validate that. And I'm trying to look for that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's not 20.
MR. YOVANOVICH: It was No. 20.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It was No. 20 at one time in one of the older versions, and
it was lined through.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Schmidt, I'll show you where it was. Where's the cursor? It
was No. 26.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Twenty-six, okay. A pre-blasting survey shall be taken.
And that was lined through. Is that -- is that -- is there a reason why you chose not to agree to do
that, or is it just a waste of time?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, it's probably a combination of there's probably thousands of
homes --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. YOVANOVICH: -- that, you know, we would be doing these surveys for. What
we -- you know what --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Jeff is fine.
MR. STRAW: For the record, Jeffrey Straw again.
The original pre-blast inspections were done before there were any blasting at any time.
Those were completed.
You can't go back now and do a pre-blast inspection because there's blasting ongoing. So
that's the reason. It was done and completed I think I said 2004, 2006 when we started, when we
first started. That was the first thing we did was do inspections on all those homes. But now
there's not really a value in it because houses have been built after, and they have their own existing
conditions. So now anything that would be done would be an investigation.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. That makes sense, because I remember when this
came in when I was part of staff, and that was one of the conditions.
So I'm a homeowner -- and I'm going back to Mr. Yovanovich. I'm a homeowner. Now I
want to register a complaint saying I know this blast caused a crack in my wall. Does that go to
the county, or do you have -- do you receive those complaints? How is that -- I mean, because this
could get into a legal battle, legal issue. No, it didn't. Those kind of things. Yes?
MR. STRAW: The issues that exist is now it's -- I think it's Chapter 55.245 through the
state fire marshal's office. The complaint goes to the state fire marshal -- if it's a complaint, it goes
to the state fire marshal's office. If there's a complaint of damage, there is a whole procedure
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 33 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 28 of 102
under the state fire marshal's office to go through that through the Division of Administrative
Hearings.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And is there a forensic analysis that's done --
MR. STRAW: It's done. Both sides prepare information, and however that's done. The
mine has an opportunity and the homeowner presents evidence. And then there's a mediation
initially before it goes to an administrative hearing.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because both you and I know the soil in Florida tends to
cause more cracks than the blasting. And I'm not being -- I'm not swaying one way or the other,
but -- the rule -- I always know, if you place concrete in Florida, eventually it's going to crack.
MR. STRAW: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Unless you put the appropriate measures to --
MR. STRAW: That's correct. But the process is there through the state fire marshal. It
was developed after the initial regulation went in. It was added, and I think it is 552.45, if I'm not
mistaken. But it's part of the construction materials mining activity, but it specifically deals with
claims, and there's a process for it.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So basically overcome by events then. Now there's
clearly a statute, if I'm a homeowner, to file a complaint?
MR. STRAW: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Straw, don't go away, sir.
I think you -- I think you may be best qualified to answer this but, if not, someone else.
It's just I don't happen to know the answer.
Similar operations, similar blasting operations, are they taking place nearby the applicant's
site and, if so, can you say something about where they are and how far removed they are from the
residential areas?
MR. STRAW: Well, the closest would be in Lee County along Alico Road, and there's
three or four major operations there. They've got houses in various areas around them. Cemex
has an operation. Vulcan Materials, which is the largest stone producer in the United States, has
an operation there. Youngquist Brothers has an operation there. Titan has an operation out on
Corkscrew Road. They all have houses around them.
I mean, the bulk of the mining is done in Miami-Dade County. And if you look at those
areas, you've got three of the top 10 stone producers in the United States that are there. And here
we're blasting eight times a month. They're blasting three to four times per day --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Wow.
MR. STRAW: -- in what they're doing, and their houses are, you know, 1300 or less feet
away in some of these. Some of them are much closer but, you know, in that Miami-Dade swath
of quarries that, you know, I'm familiar with. But the closest one's here -- I mean, Bonita Grande
is one that was mentioned -- I forgot that one -- and that one has people relatively close.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: How close to this site?
MR. STRAW: Off the top --
MR. YOVANOVICH: To this site?
MR. STRAW: The homes to their site, off the top of my head, 1500 feet, somewhere in
that ballpark.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So in other words, there are other operators 1500 feet
from the proximate residences that we'll be hearing from?
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, no, no.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Straighten me out.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think what he's saying, there's nobody in Collier County doing
what we're doing. They're all in Lee County. Did I get that right?
MR. STRAW: Correct.
MR. YOVANOVICH: So there's nobody close. You know, there may be -- there may be

occasions where a county's doing a utility project or someone's doing a development lake within
their project where they may be blasting, but there's no rock mines --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: -- close to --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But there are occasional instances of blasting --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- nearby.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure. There could be, sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And I'm going to quickly ask Mr. Bosi because I had, I think,
slightly different information. Have I got it correct that --
MR. BOSI: I believe you're referring to our Tuesday pre-meeting, and I think Ms. Cook
had indicated that there are some occasional locations in proximity that may have blasting, whether
it be for lake excavation and various other reasons.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, look who's at the podium.
MS. COOK: Jaime Cook, your director of Development Review.
Yes, there are other blasting operations occurring, not commercial mines as this is but
frequently for development lakes. Terreno has an active blasting permit for their development
lakes, the Groves at Orange Blossom, which are both about a mile south of this area of the Estates,
both have active blasting permits for their lakes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: A mile south?
MS. COOK: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Anybody else have a question along those lines?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, thank you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Chairman, if this is the right time, I want to put an exhibit up
to talk about your concept of how we can I'll use the word "abandon" portions of the project as they
got completed.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, please.
MR. YOVANOVICH: This is the exhibit.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: North up.
MR. YOVANOVICH: North's up? Did I get that right? Okay.
The concept is this blue area is where operations have been completed. We do -- we have
to annually update our permit, or we get a new permit every year through staff. Every year we
will update this map to show -- increase the blue area of where we're no longer eligible to blast as
part of this process. That's -- I think the concept you were talking about is let's -- how do we
codify that we're no longer -- as we move along, we're done.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: How do you surrender part of conditional use square footage or
relinquish?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, we can -- we could say that this blue area -- other than
reclamation, because we have to do some reclamation --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All I'm -- I'm not talking about mining or anything else. I'm
talking about blasting.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Blasting. We will update it annually to say we give up -- as part
of our mine permit, that we're giving up this area to blast.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Should that be a condition?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We can put that as a condition, yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Counsel?
MR. PERRY: I have proposed language if you'd like to --

MR. PERRY: The owner shall blast in a logically progressive manner from east to west,
and as the owner completes its operations in a specific blasting area, it shall cease blasting in that
area. The owner -- once the owner is finished blasting in the area depicted on the completed

MR. YOVANOVICH: I missed the last part. I was a little nervous about Exhibit E. I
stopped listening after he was committing me to an Exhibit E.
MR. PERRY: And we'll send it to you. The Exhibit E would be this, but it would be able
to be amended annually during the permitting process.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Look, the concept would be this is the base. We're not going to
blast where it's blue, and annually we'll update where we're done blasting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's fine with me.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Now, I don't -- if that's what he just said, in concept, we can get
there, but I'd like to see the actual language, because that sounded a lot more complicated.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: The only thing that caught my ear was he said in east/west
progression, so -- did you hear that part?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I did.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: You're okay with that?
MR. YOVANOVICH: It already says that.
COMMISISONER VERNON: I mean, I like it. Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're already committed to that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If we can actually agree to the language, we don't need to worry
about it either coming back on consent or me looking at it on behalf of the Planning Commission.
So I hope we can get the exact language.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're fine with this exhibit becoming part of the conditional use
and using it as the base that we will annually update.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And so the counselor's language is acceptable? Nothing has to
come back?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, generally, we already have an obligation to go east to west,
so some of that seems to be repetitive, so...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But I just -- I don't want to have to bring this back on consent.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't either. I don't either.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So is the language okay?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm sure there's going to be public speaking. If he can e-mail it to
me, that would help me.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Can that be done? Okay. Good.
And then before we conclude this, you'll give us a sign-off one way or the other?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Anything else, sir?
MR. YOVANOVICH: That's the conclusion of our presentation, if you have any further
questions of me or Mr. Shaw [sic] on how this actually works...
Again, your staff is recommending approval. I think we -- I know we've met all the
conditional-use criteria, and we're well under what the state would permit, and we're
further -- we're further limiting ourselves based upon several state-adopted standards.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. I have two commissioners who are signaling, starting with
Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So we've been talking mostly about blasting, but you do crush
and grade the product there as well, and apparently that operation is not in question. I have not
seen or heard any voices against it or even talking about it. I just wanted to make sure --
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's a normal process.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- everybody knew you are crushing and --
MR. YOVANOVICH: We are.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- grading, but that's -- it's far enough away that it's not a
nuisance?
MR. YOVANOVICH: And we have -- that's the attenuation -- the noise-attenuation
provisions address that.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just for the record.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Now, with all due respect, I want to ask everyone to not talk over
anyone else, please. Thank you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're just simply here to change the blasting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No. I'm just saying, though, but we haven't received any
complaints about the crushing operation.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Rich, with respect to our conversation yesterday, I
wondered if you had an opportunity to discuss with your client -- my minute request was on
Page 91, at least of our packet, No. 3, to lessen the potential of noise that -- if the equipment is
moved, that within six months they would rectify either with a berm to attenuate the noise if the
attenuating structure did not work.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mike, can you go back to the -- I'm looking at this and I'm -- I'm
putting it up. The answer is we can reduce that to 90 days.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Wonderful. I appreciate that.
And another one kind of goes in line with the $1 per truckload. At least on our Page 93,
No. 21, I'm wondering when this $500 -- I'm sorry, $500,000 bond was set, if that was back in
2006, '07, or '08, whenever this initially was done. Do we think that's adequate now considering
it's 15, 18 years later with the price?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I'll say two things: One, it's never been called on in all
these years. My client is willing to, you know, increase that number to a million dollars, keeping
in mind that, you know, so far it's proven to be more than sufficient, that 500,000. But accounting
for it's been a few years since that number's been looked at, we'll go to a million dollars.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I think that goes a long way also in showing good
faith to the neighbors. I would hope that would be strongly considered.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We'll do it. We just said --
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Do it. Great. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That was another condition we'll add. And I was remiss in not
making a record on something. Back at 10:40 when we reconvened, I should have made the
record that Commissioner Schumacher had to leave due to a business commitment, and we thank
him for being here for the time he could. We understand the demands of his business, and his
absence from this point forward is excused.
Go ahead, Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: That's it. I mean, we're ready to turn it over to staff or answer any
more questions you may have.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. No one is signaling at this time and, therefore, I take
that as a segue into the public speaking. So --

MR. YOVANOVICH: Doesn't staff usually go?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Staff usually does, yeah, and this might be a good one to have
staff. Thank you for correcting me.
MR. BOSI: Thank you, Chair.
Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
Staff reviewed the revised condition of approvals that we received prior to the -- prior to
the hearing. We will coordinate with the County's Attorney's office on their consent to the revised
commitments.
We do recognize that they are more restrictive; that they have provided a little bit more
protection. The modified restrictions that the Planning Commission has discussed, staff is
supportive of those as well and, as indicated within the staff report, we are recommending approval
with these additional conditions.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. No one is signaling at this point.
At this point I want to -- before I call on Commissioner Shea, I had mentioned that
Ms. Cook is prepared to go into greater deal with respect to the steps staff takes on each occasion
of blasting if anyone wants to hear that. I know she's present and would be able to come forward,
but I don't want to --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: That's my question.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That is?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: My question is, what does the inspector do?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, then, let's have Ms. Cook come up, because she's all over
this one.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can you also show the video?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'd like to see that. Is that a video on this site, or was it a
video elsewhere?
MR. BOSI: It was a video elsewhere, not at this site.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But similar type of blasting outfit?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Are we going to see the video first, or are we going to hear from Ms. Cook first?
(A video was played.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Holy moly.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Fire in the hole.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. I'd ask that that be run again because I wasn't sure when
something was going to happen.
(The video was replayed.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Anyone have any questions or comments about the video?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, thank you, Mr. Bosi.
Ms. Cook.
MS. COOK: Again, Jaime Cook, for the record.
So when a blast is to occur, the blaster notifies the county inspectors and sets up a time for
the inspector to be on site. So during every blast that occurs, an inspector is on site. If they were
to fail to notify us and conduct a blast without us, that's actually a violation of their license, which
could then be taken away by ATF under their own procedure. So they do notify us.
The inspector is out on site. They do verify that all of the work on site that's going on,
whether it's the crushing or digging, anything like, that has ceased.
And then they -- the inspector actually goes to where the location of the nearest
seismograph is to make sure that it's operating, running, and they stay there. They get the numbers

that are on those report during the -- the report that's generated with the blast and verify all the site
conditions. If in the event that they notice site conditions or things like weather are not
appropriate for the blast, they will stop the blast or delay it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Anybody have any questions or comments?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Ms. Cook.
MS. COOK: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anything further from staff or for them?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, now I think we're ready for registered speakers. Mr. Sabo,
Ms. Padron, who do we have?
MR. SABO: All right. Mr. Chairman, there are 10 registered speakers. To organize
this, we can use both podiums, the one next to staff on the right, the one next to the attorneys on the
left. First is Jesse Rose. Next is Harrold Hussmann.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
And at the beginning of these proceedings, the witnesses who were present were sworn in,
and so before you speak, if you haven't been sworn in, kindly let us know so that we can get that
taken care of.
MR. ROSE: Yes, sir. I'm Jesse Rose. I was sworn in.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Please proceed, sir.
MR. ROSE: Thank you.
Good morning. As I said, I'm Jesse Rose. I'm a veteran of the United States Air Force.
I am retired, so I'm at home during the day, and I often hear the blasting that's happening, and I
often hear the house shake and things like that.
As far as damage goes, my tile is upheaving in my son's room. And we had ripped up the
carpet prior to painting and putting tile down in the extra bedroom. We have four bedrooms.
And in that extra bedroom, the foundation has a crack that goes all the way across it. That wasn't
there when we pulled up the carpet. So I don't know how it got there, if it was due to the blasting
or, you know, what have you, but it is there now.
And there's damaged stucco that is on the outside of the house that is chipping, and it also
has a crack that is going up the sideline of it. That is surrounding my windows that face the rear of
the home.
And I think that's about it as far as damage from what I could see, you know, when I
inspected the home.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. ROSE: I think that's about it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes. First question is how far do you live from the blast
area?
MR. ROSE: I live on 22nd Street Northeast. So I think approximately, what is it, like a
mile. Like a mile. Yeah, like a mile.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And have you filed any formal complaints with the state
or --
MR. ROSE: I have not yet, no.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You have not. Okay. That's it. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. And one other thing, and thank you also for your
service in the military.
MR. ROSE: Thank you for your support, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I would be interested to know if we can establish a causal
connection between this applicant and your damage. And so for you and for the other speakers
who are going to come up and offer testimony like that, I think it would be helpful to the Planning
5.A.a

Commission if you have evidence of causation -- because there is other blasting going on in that
area -- we'd like to know about it.
MR. ROSE: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you, sir.
MR. ROSE: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Next speaker.
MR. HUSSMANN: I'm Harrold Hussmann. I live at 47th Street Northeast, basically on
22, like, three-quarter of a mile from the mine.
And we have also damage at the house. Basically, I have one crack that crosses the whole
living room, office, and to the lanai. I have cracks on the side where the windows are, and they
already know because they had an inspection done at my house, the mine people. I don't know his
name, but -- let me see. Harry Blan [sic]. They came already to my house. They put a sensor
since. And this was after the September blasting.
So my question is, now we have two blastings per week for months. They want to do
eight blastings for months. So imagine how much damage they will cause already on our houses.
So this is really a big problem, you see, for the homeowners.
And we have on -- the south side of the mine, basically on 47th Street, we have 600
houses. On the west side of the mine, we have 800 houses between Everglades Boulevard and the
mine. So we're talking 1,500 houses, they are already there, maybe a little bit more, that get
damage in one-and-a-half or one mile to one-and-a-half mile radius. So it's a lot of damage. And
this will be like, basically, a lot.
So what I think is the mine basically needs to lower more of the blasting, not only what
they're talking; now they need to lower more or finish the blasting and continue in another way. I
don't mind the noise. The blasting is what's causing our home damage.
And I have a second concern. The second concern is, you know, blasting, when they
make fracking for oil, he told us it's almost the same like what they're doing. So, basically, they
are mixing -- they're damaging our groundwater with the well water that we have. So the top
water, when they make fracking, that goes in the groundwater. So we all live on wells. So,
basically, we get also a contamination from our wells that are close there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Sir, thank you. And we will -- the applicant will have
an opportunity to offer rebuttal, and these are points that we will ask the applicant to respond to.
MR. HUSSMANN: Perfect.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Next speaker.
MR. SABO: Next we have -- just a reminder, both podiums are open, so please line up.
Robert Dixon on the right side. Carlos Garcia on the left side.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Now, I believe Mr. Dixon and Mr. Garcia spoke
before. Under the circumstances -- well, put it this way. I thought that a transcript of their
presentations was going to find its way into the packet, and I don't believe it did. And so, without
objection, I'm going to allow them to speak again.
All right, who was first?
MR. DIXON: Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Appreciate you guys being out here again.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You're Mr. Dixon?
MR. DIXON: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. DIXON: So there's a reason why there's not thousands of e-mails and -- because
thousands of residents that border this mine don't know what's happening. It's happened Monday
through Friday, like they said, between the hours of 9 to 4. Ninety percent of everybody goes to
work. Nobody even has a clue this is even going on unless people started talking about it, some of
the people that are home.
5.A.a

The two signs for the public hearing notice are set outside the mine, which is about a mile
north of the 47th Avenue and Immokalee entrance, where everybody lives. Ninety percent of
those people make a left to head into town to go to work. Unless you're going to the casino or you
work in Immokalee, nobody goes that way. The signs that were put in were knocked down the
first week, and they stayed down.
There is very dense population that is to the south of the mine and to the east of the mine.
Back when he said they don't do pre-inspections anymore, that's 20 years ago in 2004. They only
had a handful of houses out back then.
This is very populated. It's very dense. And I wish you were able to pull the map up, and
I could show you exactly where it is. But there is thousands of homes with tens of thousands of
residents living in these. These all border the mine. Everybody off of Everglades has no idea that
there's -- this is even a notice. Nobody even knows because there's no signs out there. But they're
immediately adjacent to the mine on the east, and our neighborhood's immediately adjacent to the
south.
So -- and I know they definitely don't want to do pre-inspections because what they're
doing is damaging. I know they're professionals. They've been in their field a long time. They
came up and showed us all the numbers, and they're well under. We've all established that. They
could do a .5. They're doing way less than that. If they were to come close to a .5, I'm telling you
now, let the record show, it's going to be catastrophic. It's going to displace thousands of
residents. The structures are going to be unsafe, inhabitable, and we already know that there's a
housing crisis already in Naples. There's nowhere to live now.
So imagine having to take thousands of people and displace them because their structures
aren't safe. They've got to worry about them falling in on them.
As far as the September 14th blast, there was no doubt/question. I know they had the
thing up there talking about the vibration and the effects. My house has over a dozen cracks on
them [sic]. Quality Enterprise came out; they acknowledged it. They also acknowledged that
they will correct the damage. They told us, don't fix it yet. Let's wait and see what the future
blasts are going to do because there's no sense -- we're going to have to come back and make
second repairs. They have yet to come back out or keep their word to come out to fix the damaged
structures.
We actually requested to have the seismic monitor put there. The direction, I'll give them
credit on that. Barry changed the direction on it, and it made a really big difference.
September 14th, I felt like I was on a pirate ship in the open seas. It was -- I can't
overexplain how much that house moved. It wasn't just a little vibration. The entire house
moved, caused numerous cracks, which was already acknowledged by Quality Enterprises. He's
been very polite, Barry Blankenship. He came out. He's been doing everything he said with
redirecting and all that, and it has gotten better, but it hasn't changed the fact that we're still
experiencing a lot of damage to our houses from more frequent blasts. And now they want to go
from two to eight, and they want to bring it in 1300 feet closer to the house. Where the blast is
right now, they're not even a half a mile from some structures right now, and they want to go
closer.
And they know what they're doing out there, because they are building that for a housing
complex. It was supposed to be smaller houses on the lake it was. They decided they want to
double down, triple down, make the lake bigger, triple the houses, triple the profit. They made it
clear that there is other means for them to excavate the stuff in here without doing the blasting.
Nobody has any problems with the noise, this. The dump trucks are a little bit of a nuisance
because they're up and down 47th on the hour every hour, every five minutes.
But the only complaint that I think from the neighborhood so far -- and there's hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of people that are finally catching on on the social media sites,
Facebook, neighbors next door. A lot of people are just being aware of this.
If they bring that closer and go from two blasts to eight blasts even closer to our house, it

doesn't matter what level they're doing it at. I mean, they're already well below the level now, and
we're experiencing negative effects to our structures and our houses. And we plead to you
to -- you know, it's quicker -- if they blast, they can get it all out quicker, they can get the houses
quicker, they can make their money and their profit and press on, and they're all happy. They
don't want to sit out there for five years having to dig the slow way when they can blow everything
up in two years. I get that from a business aspect.
But those houses, they're very condensed, and they border the entire thing, and we're
getting rocked out there. Even with all the things that they've changed, our houses are getting
rocked. We're getting damage. And nobody knew how to file a complaint until today, which I
understand the state fire marshal, so that's nice because we were never told.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You're at the five-minute mark, sir.
MR. DIXON: Understood.
There's a lot of houses that border that. There's a lot of damage being done. And I don't
know how much they need to lower it or just go the old-fashioned way and just dig it and take a
little bit more time but, you know, the homeowners, we need support; we need help from
everybody. We all know there's growth. We understand that. But we shouldn't be having to
suffer and have everything that we've worked for damaged for something that's going to be built
five years from now.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. DIXON: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Next speaker, please.
MR. GARCIA: Good afternoon. My name is Carlos Garcia.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak here to you-all today. I appreciate the work that
you do. It is my experience that -- from the questions that I hear that some of you commissioners
ask, you guys are smart. You guys are on point. And I'm not saying that for nothing. I'm saying
that because it really impressed me that you guys actually care. The general public doesn't think
that way. The general public thinks that, you know, everybody's getting money put in their
pocket.
So that said I'm going to -- I'm going to start. The definition of a rapid burn, do you know
what that is? What is a definition of a rapid burn? It's an explosion. You know how I know
that? Because I'm a firefighter.
The South Florida building code does not provide for our houses to receive or experience
explosions. Our homes are built to Collier County code and South Florida building code. The
numbers and the graphs and everything that you saw, very pretty, very well prepared. But the
truth is that our homes are not built that way. When our house received a certificate of occupancy
21 years ago at this location, there was no mining operations happening at that time.
I've lived there 21 years. I own five properties on that same street. The young lady that
spoke here earlier, she talked about Lee County and other projects that are going on in the area.
Those projects are over a mile away from us. That's 5,280 feet plus. This project is less than
1300 feet is what they're asking.
I don't understand how somebody in the right capacity would think that it's okay to go
ahead and blast closer to our homes. We're already experiencing problems. Why would you
allow them to come any closer? It doesn't make any sense.
Our homes have significant damage. And matter of fact, I encourage any of you sitting on
this board to come to my house and take a look. I welcome you.
Mr. Schmidt, earlier he talked about how he was a combat engineer in the military. So
was I. I understand explosives. I know how explosives work, and there's no place for them near
our homes. It doesn't make any sense.
And I'm asking that you do not allow them to below and explode any closer. They're very
eloquent when they speak. They use great words. They have beautiful graphs and pictures, but
I'm more of a common sense kind of guy. To me it doesn't make any sense to allow them to come

any closer for any amount of money.
The video you saw, the last video that we saw with the explosions going up in the air, that
synchronized explosion, it's not a blast. It's an explosion.
The particles you saw flying in the air, those are the cardboard tubes that they use. That's
what -- that's how powerful that is. It blows the tubes out of the ground.
What you can't see is what's called fly rock. Fly rock is the material that's blowing up in
the air that's not on the video. You can't see it. How high -- nobody asked that question because
they don't know. We're not all experts; not everybody knows. But how high does that fly rock
fly? That's why they call it fly rock. It goes miles up in the air. It damages homes. We're over
here looking at air waves and things like that, but it's reality what we're looking at.
One thing is what's on paper, and one thing is reality. The truth is, you know, is what they
want you to see versus what we're experiencing. I don't know if you ever had a constituent stand
up here and ask you to come to my home. I welcome you to come to my home. Take a look at it
for yourself. We're not here for no reason. We're not here to waste anybody's time, and we thank
you for your time.
This is significant. This is important. This is our home. This our biggest investment.
I'm not a new person here to Collier County, and we're definitely not Lee County. I take pride in
that. I'm here intentionally. I came to Collier County on purpose. This is not Lee County.
We're not -- we're not at the standards of Lee County. So I don't want to be compared by anybody
else.
Thank you for your time.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you for your service in the military and also as a first
responder.

on the left side.
MR. MEDFORD: I'm Denzil Medford. And we are at 47 -- 4760 22nd Street Northeast.

MR. MEDFORD: Denzil Medford.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Medford, thank you.
MR. MEDFORD: And my wife is Zephina Medford.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. MEDFORD: And we're at 4760 22nd Street Northeast.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, sir.
MR. MEDFORD: I am like the other gentleman there, I'm glad that you allow us to come
and to hear what they are saying and to see and to hear what these experts supposed to say.
These experts are supposed to say the thing to benefit them, but I haven't heard none of
them say anything that they're interested or want to know how the people around there that own
homes feel. And I don't think -- especially this guy here that just said -- I don't remember your
name. We just want to make you all comfortable. He's not interested in making the people that
live around his bombsite comfortable. He doesn't think of them at all as far as he's saying.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If I may, sir, personal attacks like that don't help your position.
MR. MEDFORD: That's -- maybe I'm too upset to hear someone saying things like he
just come to make you comfortable and forgetting about all the guys that -- all the people that
bought their homes and living in the area. He never mentioned nothing about those guys, about us
or what -- why do we think we own the home? Because we want someplace to live.
And I think at least -- he could at least say something. We're going to make sure that the
homes around his bombsite is protected before they start trying to destroy any further.
Like the guy said, if you got -- if we got a crack along the floor from east to west -- or the
master bedroom, there's a crack there three-eighths of an inch, why? From -- on the outside of the

west wall? There's a crack going right down by the window, our front window, that is causing -- it
couldn't just be caused by the wind. It had to cause by their explosions.
And, like, they want to expand it more? Or maybe he wouldn't find a house on our street
or my house, let's see, when he go down the street if he start to increase the explosion.
And the gentleman that says that he just measured the six inches into the sand, well, he's
blasting rock, but he's measuring six inches into the sand with his -- with the meter. Well,
naturally, rock is going to take more to explode than sand, and he's measuring if the sand is move,
but the sand will give any time easier than the rock.
So when the seismic measurements saying -- in his wave graph that he said, the sand is not
going to move like to the rock. And we are still under -- the house is built on the rock
between -- the sand between us and the rock. And maybe that measurement is not going to tell
you exactly how much the house is shaken. And it can't be from the wind out here or around the
house that caused the cracks in the walls.
He can come and look in our house and all they did there and see the cracks in our house.
He's welcome, because it will be there when he comes to see it, if he comes to see it.
And like all the other things that make it, I want to say, everybody wants to make money,
and everybody wants to have some place to live. And if they choose to live there, as I said, if he
had said that we're going to blow -- we're going to blast around your area, maybe I wouldn't go
there, but if the house is there and now he wants to increase the explosive pressure even more, I
don't think that should happen.
But then who am I to say you can't do it when he's trying to make the comments and
everybody's feeling happy. And I'm not going to start calling -- as you said, attacking people, but
I'm not comfortable with what they're saying. At least pay a little bit more attention of what's
going on with the area of the home -- and with the homes in the area a little bit more, that we can at
least see that you care.
And as for using the pneumatic drills and whatever to get the rock out, I rather he do it
for -- if he want to do it for 10 years, fine, but explosions, and that's the one --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You're at the five-minute mark, sir.
MS. MEDFORD: I just have one question for concern, if I am able to and that is the --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, why don't you tell us who you are.
MS. MEDFORD: I'm sorry. Zephina Medford.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And you've been sworn in?
MS. MEDFORD: I didn't, but I'm his wife, so I thought --
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MS. MEDFORD: Nothing but the truth.
The truth is that I am living -- this house we have is very close in my estimation, maybe
too close, for all this that is going on. I am -- like, when I go for walks in the morning, I would
say, it takes me about three-quarters of an hour much to get to this blast site. You understand that?
And I walk pretty fast, too, at 84 -- or 83.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I want to be sure that we pick up everything you're saying, so you
might get a little closer to the mic, would you, and maybe lower it just a little bit so that --
MS. MEDFORD: Okay. I'm saying my fear is --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Your husbands going to help. There we go.
MS. MEDFORD: The truth of my fear is that I am too close -- my house is too close for
all of this carry ons on. I don't know much about construction and stuff, but in my medical
opinion, I know that I am a little bit too close, and to come in further would be dangerous to me,
and that's my fear.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MS. MEDFORD: And I want something to be done, hopefully, that you would consider
my fear. Thank you.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, ma'am.
Next speaker, please.
MR. SABO: Next two speakers, Mr. Chairman, Rae Ann Burton, she can go to the left
podium, and Ken Schmidt to the right podium.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, we sure know Ms. Burton. Welcome back.
MS. BURTON: Yeah. It's been a while. You guys have been pretty good boys.
Okay. My name is Rae Ann Burton. I live in Golden Gate Estates, Rural Golden Gate
Estates.
I spent around five hours researching and trying to read the documents attached to
Attachment 3, 343 pages. From 199, those pages were almost too faint to read.
I received the letter for this meeting December 29th, '23, but on June the 20th, '23 there
was no letter or -- I'm not even on the list.
On Nextdoor, a lady said she didn't receive the notice until two days ago.
I read the report of June the 20th. There was many questions asked by the public which
were ignored by the promoters. Were told to go to website or call them. And at the end of -- they
actually closed the meeting refusing to answer questions.
I noticed the sign that's in the packet's not even for mining. It's for HB Family Trust of
150 units of affordable housing. There's no map or details.
But I am familiar with vibrations. I live on 31st Avenue Northeast. I know what Terreno
did. I know the vibrations shook my house, and I'm not that far from it. And they were only
blasting to build lakes so they could sell lakefront homes.
Today I've heard of damage done in the past. Can the developers guarantee that this
blasting won't create sink holes or even worse? Earthquakes also create vibrations.
These developers don't live in the Estates or county, so their only concern is profit, not
creating a home, which we moved there to enjoy.
I have learned that figures don't lie, but liars do lie, and that goes for words as well, to
prove their point. Just to get approval to build for profit what they want, disregarding the concerns
of the impacted residents.
There has to be something. Growth has to be controlled. Growth is inevitable, but there
is also a saying, if you build it, they will come. So if you stop building, maybe they won't come,
and we won't have to build. It's creating havoc on our roads. It's creating traffic. It took me 55
minutes to get from my home in Golden Gate Estates off of 31st Avenue Northeast. I am off of
Everglades.
I took Golden Gate Boulevard to Pine Ridge to Airport. It should not take you that long.
When I lived in Indiana, it took me that long to dust off my car of snow and 15 minutes to get to
work. Now it takes the opposite.
So I want you to really consider it. I don't really live that close in the area, but I know
what can be done from the vibrations I got from Terreno, and they were only building for lakes.
This property has been a bad item. It started out as Immokalee rural village. It's part of
that. Something has to be done. We need to get control, and the public needs to have their
concerns heard. We live here; the developers don't. One doesn't even live in this state, and the
other one doesn't even live in the county.
Thank you for your time.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Before you leave the podium, I want to be sure I understand. Are
you saying that the signage for this project was incorrect?
MS. BURTON: It is incorrect, yes, sir. I will show it. Just a second.
Affidavit -- attachment for Legal Aid, sign affidavit, and photos. I blew up the sign.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Put it on the visualizer, please.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Put it on the visualizer. Have the county to that.
MS. BURTON: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, yeah.

MS. BURTON: It doesn't say anything about mining. I checked the PLs, and it say H&B
Family Trust.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Please use the microphone.
MS. BURTON: Oh, sorry. The PLs are for the H&B Family Trust.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Bosi?
MR. BOSI: That's an error on staff's part. Staff included the wrong sign within the
package.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But the correct sign was erected?
MR. BOSI: We have received -- we have documentation that the sign was -- and we will
forward that to the Planning Commission.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: County Attorney?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Can you forward it to me and Derek, and we'll get it printed so
we can give it to the court reporter for the record.
MR. BOSI: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. PERRY: And I did -- I do want to mention I conferred with staff, and they are
actively trying to get the photo.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Okay. So I think Ms. Burton, what staff's position is
is that the wrong sign was put into the packet but the correct sign was used at the site.
MS. BURTON: I have no idea.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Neither do we.
MS. BURTON: Because it was in there.
But to find a flaw in that, I mean, that a lot of documentation on these things, like I said,
that one documentation, 343 pages.
But if these are legal documents, they're presented to the public, and they should be
correct. There should not be any errors. But the -- that's what I'm saying. We're afraid too many
things are being manipulated to benefit the developer, and we the public are being ignored, we're
being traveled [sic] over, and we're paying the infrastructure fees.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you for your testimony.
And I think, at least in my view, as long as the correct signage were posted with the
accurate information on it, that should suffice, but we're going to have to -- the county's going to
have to come up and show us and testify that that's the case.
Next speaker, please.
MR. SCHMIDT: My name is Ken Schmidt. I live at 4425 16th Street Northeast.
And, basically, I think my wife and I are here just to express our interest in this topic.
And I wanted to come up and just reinforce a couple of things that my neighbors have already
pointed out.
The first one is the whole issue of the lack of information about this operation. I've lived
at this address for 10 -- more than 10 years, and purchased the house. I had no idea that there was
a mining operation adjacent to the neighborhood, basically, that I live in. It wasn't disclosed in
any of the real estate transaction, which actually is very surprising to me. I would think that the
county would have some type of a requirement to make this be known to people who are
considering investing substantial sums of money in homes when they are adjacent to this type of
operation. Like I said, I've lived there for over 10 years.
I'm a little -- I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the first few times I became aware of
these blasts, I literally thought they were sonic booms. I don't know if you've experienced a sonic
boom, but they are very disruptive to your house, and that's exactly what these things feel like.
When you're in your house, you get this boom, and it does feel like it's shaking the house.
Now, I'm an engineer. I see the numbers up here, and I understand what these gentlemen
are saying in terms of the data doesn't support that position in terms of what the potential damage
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 46 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

could be, but I also listen to these people, and I'm kind of convinced that maybe, in reality,
something is different than what's expressed up here in these numbers.
The other think I thought was very interesting, one of my other neighbors pointed out, is
the potential impact on our groundwater. I didn't hear any discussion at all about that. And as an
environmental engineer, I could see many different opportunities for this type of blasting operation
to be detrimental to our groundwater, since we all rely on wells.
So that's all I have to comment about.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Schmidt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I have a question. Mr. Schmidt, thank you.
And I'm not looking at the list, but you did not receive -- the county requires a petitioner to
send out a letter notifying residents of both a neighborhood information meeting where the
applicant briefs those who are interested to show up; they brief the residents of what the petition's
about. Of course it's advertised, a sign's put up, and then there's letters sent. You never -- did
you -- you never received a letter?
MR. SCHMIDT: Not to my knowledge. We never -- never received a letter. The only
reason we're here today is because somebody in our neighborhood went around and hung notices
about this meeting --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And you --
MR. SCHMIDT: -- with -- incidentally, with your e-mail addresses, and that's probably
why you got an e-mail from me and from my wife. But other than that, we wouldn't have been
notified.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And your address for the record.
MR. SCHMIDT: 4425 16th Street Northeast.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Sixteenth Street.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is that within the notice perimeter?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is that -- that's the next question.
MR. BOSI: I've got to look at the map, but...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We'll check that out.
MR. SCHMIDT: I mean, it certainly is within the blast area, because I'm very well aware
of the blast.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: The county just -- the county has very specific rules for
advertising -- of course, it's advertised and legally it's advertised in the paper of greatest --
MR. SCHMIDT: Right. I think that's a rule that probably ought to change --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Distribution.
MR. SCHMIDT: -- because how many people actually get the newspaper anymore?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right. But it's also -- it's also -- you
read -- receive -- applicants [sic] who are near by receive letters --
MR. SCHMIDT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- and then it's also the signs posted. So I don't
know -- other than that, it's -- and you mentioned about being noticed. Well, that's basic -- I have
to say, that's the due diligence of the person who buys the home knowing that what they're -- we
hear that often.
MR. SCHMIDT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: A realtor always told me this was going to be a preserve
when, clearly, on the zoning maps it's industrial or it's C-3 or whatever.
MR. SCHMIDT: Yep.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Thank you.
MR. SCHMIDT: Yeah, I can accept that. I mean, maybe I should have done a little bit
more due diligence. But, still, this is a major impact for the homes in this area. And considering

the amount of growth that you-all are planning for the area surrounding this mine, it seems to me
that this is just -- this is just not a good idea to expand it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, sir.
Next speaker, please?
MR. SABO: Mr. Chair, there are two more speakers.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. SABO: Maria Gutierrez and Heather Wallace, please.
MS. GUTIERREZ: Good morning. My name is Maria Gutierrez, and I'm here because I
would like to support my neighbors, and I would like for you to hear my voice also about the
damages at home.
I have been living there -- my address, 4580 10th Street Northeast. And the first damage
that we notice at home years ago was on the floor, the cracks that goes from the living room to the
dining room. Eventually there are cracks on the ceiling, that -- most recently that my husband and
my daughter has been telling me are new cracks in the garage and other areas -- of the house.
But since I have limited of English, anyway, I decided to come today just to let you know
that there are been a lot of damages and also because I got this notice in my mail about this meeting
today, and I got lucky because my daughter was able to bring me here this morning.
But I just hope that you are able to consider maybe to relocate this mining because I hear
today talking about the vibration, and I -- talking about other things. But how about the feeling
when we are at home and we feel the vibration that is coming from somewhere, and then the
shaking of the house and the windows?
It's not for a long time. I do remember one day that years ago I called the police, and I
asked them if we had an earthquake or was it blasting in the area? And they say probably was a
blasting.
And I remember last year, was March 29, I think, 31, also I remember also that day
because I called the commissioner office to ask about what's going on. They tried to answer my
questions. They said, oh, there are blastings in other areas, not specifically in the mining. But I
do remember that time back then I went direct to the mining main entrance to get a phone number
and to look for somebody to complain about it, but there was not any phone number or nobody
there in the main entrance to ask for my questions. And my neighbors already talk about their
concern, and I think that's all from me today. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. And you speak very good English.
MS. GUTIERREZ: Thank you.
MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, there is one additional speaker, Diane Schmidt, please.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Hi there.
MS. WALLACE: Hi. I have not been sworn in.
Okay. Well, we'll take care of that.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MS. WALLACE: I do.
My name's Heather Wallace. I've lived on 47th. I'm right there at 16th Street. I'm 1580
47th Avenue Northeast. I've been there since 1998.
This has been a problem we've known about. In 2005 and 2006, a friend of mine bought a
house down the street. Now, she lives across the street, which is closer to the mining. And there
were cracks in her floor. She had cracks in the walls. But due to the time, if you remember the
housing crisis and people lost their homes and foreclosed, and a lot of people didn't complain
because they had other issues going on, but that was one of her major issues was the shaking of the
house and the mines.
She's since left, and so maybe you didn't hear any complaints back then in 2006 because,
you know, they were trying to sell their house at the time. And I think a lot of people on the other
side had that problem.

Page 43 of 102
Now, across -- I don't know if they've moved the mine since then. I think they may have,
because I'm getting it worse. I noticed -- I thought it was a sonic boom as well. I
thought -- because stuff's falling off the wall. I got a new crack in my foundation on the garage,
which I was just going to contact my insurance company. I didn't even know who to call or what
to do. And then I was going to go out there and just fill it with some Quikcrete thinking, well, I'll
just fill in the crack. But this is a bigger issue if you guys are going to increase this.
And I just am grateful for Mr. Dixon for coming around and notifying people in the
neighborhood because we had -- I didn't know. I had no idea this was going on, that we could
come and talk, and I just thought that, you know, there was nothing we could do about it.
So I hope that you can see these meters and all these things that are showing that this is not
causing damage. In reality, we've got people that are being -- their homes are damaged, and their
foundations are cracking. And I know there's other reasons you could have that happen, but when
you're at home -- because now most people are working from home, and they see this between 9
and 4. You used to just come home and see something on the floor and think, oh, I think -- I
wasn't here. What happened?
Well, now we know that -- I'm at home and I can see the stuff falling off the walls when a
sonic boom or -- it's not a sonic boom, but it feels like it. It really does. The whole house shakes.
You feel like you're in some kind of war zone.
And if we're going to have this eight times a month, I think that's something to be
concerned about, and I'd like information on who to report it to because I don't even know what to
do about that, so...
All right. I don't have anything else to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Next speaker, please.
MS. SCHMIDT: Diane Schmidt. Thank you for allowing me to speak. And I want to
say to the commissioners that you got two e-mails from our house, so I'm sure there were more
than 40.
And if there had been a meeting in Golden Gate after 5 o'clock, you would have had a lot
more public input on this subject.
I also want to address the term "vibrations" because I would call them tremors. I've lived
in minor earthquake zones, I've felt tremors, and it's similar when the blasting goes off. I'm sure
not every time, but a significant amount of time.
The company asked for copies of our e-mails. I would like to ask for copies of their
response to my e-mail. I think that's only fair.
And I was not aware that we could contact the company and file complaints. I'd love to
get a business card so I know where to voice my feelings about what's going on in the community.
The -- Mr. Straw mentioned that this is like throwing a rock in water. Water is a
consistent substance. I don't think that's a fair comparison. He, himself, even said you can't
predict the density of rock. There are pockets, dirt and stone.
So I question that there's only four monitors in the community. I also particularly question
that there are no monitors around the huge substation that was built north of 74th Avenue. Was
this structure built to withstand multiple blasts? And were -- the standards that were presented,
were they for one-time blasts or were they for repeated blasts of whatever substance they use?
And, I'm sorry, I was making notes while people were talking.
Oh, and it was mentioned there wasn't a need for pre-inspection. Well, in the City of
Naples, they do pre-inspections for individual homes before construction is allowed in their area.
A pre-inspection would at least give you a point to start from and then a comparison point. Why
can't we get that in the community?
And -- I'm sorry. I'm looking at my notes here.
So I also had never considered the water issue, and that is significant.
And I will make sure that I send my complaints to the business and, also, I will make the

commissioners known every time there is an effect, because I see that was a lack on my part, a lack
of knowledge.
And posting a sign north on Immokalee Road from 47th Avenue, I don't travel there. I
don't go to the casino. I didn't receive anything. I don't read the newspaper because we don't get
it.
I'm concerned. I'm opposed to this change. Like my neighbors, I'm opposed to this
change. It seems to me there was a change less than a year ago. Why are we permitting another
change when there are alternate methods that could be considered? Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, ma'am.
Any further speakers?
MR. SABO: There are no further speakers.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. And nothing -- nobody's online?
MR. SABO: Nobody online.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anyone in the room who has not registered to speak
but wishes to be heard on this, please raise your hand. Seeing no hands raised -- we just heard
from you.
MS. SCHMIDT: I know. I forgot one point I wanted to make.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, come on up. Come on up.
MS. SCHMIDT: Diane Schmidt again.
The other point I wanted to make was the county spent a lot of money putting water and
sewer lines on 47th Avenue, 16th Street, 14th Street. Has anything been done to monitor the
impacts of multiple blasts to these lines? There's a lot of joints there. They're going to be
subjected to regular continuous stress. That's the point I forgot to make. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, ma'am.
And with that, we will close the public comment segment of this hearing. Oh, I'm sorry.
Sir, you've already been heard.
MR. MEDFORD: I wanted to --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Come on up.
MR. MEDFORD: And I --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Wait till you get to the mic.
MR. MEDFORD: I want to -- like you said, I want to apologize for -- if ever someone
think I'm attacking them personally. I did not -- I didn't mean to attack anyone personally. I just
kind of was probably too high to say what I have to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I understand completely, sir, and I'm sure so does the applicant's
representative. And sometimes we get --
MR. MEDFORD: For that I apologize again.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I understand.
MR. MEDFORD: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Apology's accepted, and you're a decent soul. Thank you.
With that, we close the public comment segment.
And we will ask the applicant to rebut. And before you start, before Mr. Yovanovich,
we're due to have a break in eight minutes. So do you want --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Why don't we just do it now, if you don't mind. I'd hate to get
started and get stopped.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Without objection from the Planning Commission -- well, let's see
to decide how long we want to go before --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I'd rather hear his rebuttal and delay lunch if we could, while
we have continuity from the comments, personally.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We can delay lunch. We can't delay a court reporter break, but
that's considerably shorter than a lunch.

right. Well, in order to not break up your continuity, we'll take a 10-minute break now and return
at 12:03.
(A brief recess was had from 11:53 a.m. to 12:03 p.m.)
MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
And just to let you know, on the visualizer, before you get into the applicant's rebuttal, I
can post -- or I can show a display of the signs that were posted. And just to let you know that
there was a thousand-foot notification radius around the property lines of the mine for people who
received notice. So the individuals who have indicated that they had not received notice, it's
because they were outside of that thousand feet.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you for clarifying that. And we as a Planning
Commission have argued about wanting to extend that. But if the notice was given within the
current rules, then so be it.
MR. BOSI: The mile for the Estates applies to the Estates. This is an ag-zoned property.
And even though it's surrounded by Estates, it's still -- per the code, it's a thousand feet.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: To me, that would make it even worse because now you have
bigger lots, and you could have an announcement that goes to nobody almost.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, we fought this battle a year or two or three ago.
MR. BOSI: It's for Estates, and it was for Estates-zoned property, and that's what the code
says. We have to follow the code.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes. Yes, we do.
MR. BOSI: And on the visualizer, the sign --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
MR. BOSI: The four locations of the sign are displayed, and it's -- I know it's pretty tough
to see, but they have the allocation of the dates for the Planning Commission, the Board of County
Commissioners. I also have the sign for the original date that they put when it was scheduled --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But that was superseded.
MR. BOSI: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, this is -- this is a case of a compiler's error when the
packet was being put together, and it seems to me no harm no foul because the correct notice was
posted for the correct period of time at the correct location.
MR. BOSI: And they did provide, you know, the affidavit to us that they were posted at
the right period of time.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mike, can you help me get back to my presentation?

Perfect. That's right where I want to be.
MR. BOSI: Right there?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yep. I think that's right where he wants to be.

Ms. Padron is coming up because she's the expert. Here she comes, Mike. She's going to save
you. Yeah, it's that little fancy thing on the bottom, Mike.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I feel better now.
Let me -- I just want to start with we're not insensitive to the comments we received from
the public, and I don't want any comments that I make or any of our experts to come across as
they're not -- that they -- I know they're having experiences with their house. We probably have
all had experiences with our house. Stucco cracks. Concrete cracks. It's just a fact of life.
But you heard from our expert that the science has been studied for many, many, many,
many years, and the state has established parameters for allowing blasting to occur to make sure

damage doesn't happen to residences near by.
We have agreed to impose greater standards on ourselves to further assure that damage is
not resulting from the operations of the mine and the blasting done by us. We also, in response to
the initial comments which were, hey, ever since you came to meet with us on the 14th, it's gotten
better. That's what was said, and it was said again today.
So we have reduced the amount of charge from 100 pounds to 85, and we have reduced the
number of holes that can be done in any month from 1680 to 1320.
I think we should probably add another condition that says we should start the timing of
the blast in a way that it's going to assure that -- I'm going to use the word "energy" because I don't
know what the right word is -- goes away from where we're starting instead of the other way,
because that was a change that was made after the 14th and seemed to be addressing concerns of
the neighbors regarding the potential impact of the blast.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Without objection, I think, from the Planning Commission, we
would accept that as a third condition.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay. I haven't promised anything that you can't live with, right?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: They're going to aim them away.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. We'll do it in a way where the sequence of timing is to go
away from residences.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay. There is a process for people to file a claim with the fire
marshal if they think we've damaged the home.
Our Condition No. 30 said we're going to notify people within a mile of -- every year, if
you want to get on a list for us to contact you to let you know we're going to do some blasting, we
will let you know.
The model's [sic] a long way away from the mine to give people an opportunity to be
notified. And we'll mail the notice to people within a mile and say, please give us your
information if you want to be notified.
Now, maybe 24 hours' notice isn't enough, so we can -- we'll increase that to 72 hours'
notice. So you have time to understand when the blast is going to come, and if you want to take
pictures of your house, say here's how it was before the blast and here's how it is after the blast, that
will help them have plenty of notice to maybe put themselves in a better position to start the
process of verifying what they're saying is the cause. I'll let smarter people like the fire marshal
figure it all out whether it really was what we're doing versus, you know, something else.
We want -- and when I said I wanted to make you comfortable that we're doing it right, I
wanted the people in the audience to also be comfortable that what we're doing is better than what
the code requires, and the code is set up in a way that it won't cause damage, what we're doing.
The way we operate will not cause damage to their homes.
So I think we've been responsive and we've been responsible in our requests.
We've -- you know, we want people to know we're going to blast. We wanted to give them the
opportunity to get comfortable that we're not the cause of their damage. And if we are the cause of
their damage, we've just -- we have -- we have a bond in place that gets replenished. You know, if
we do more than a million dollars' worth of damage to people's cumulative houses, we've got to
replenish it. We'd have to replenish if it was only 500,000. So it's just more that's there sooner
rather than later to address things that we've done.
The science is the science. The science shows that we're doing what's required. We will
not create a problem if we expand the boundaries to 1300 feet from the boundaries -- I guess I
should go back to where that is. And that's the nearest point is 1300 feet. So I'm further away,
obviously.
We've met the criteria. It's a quasi-judicial hearing. The expert testimony is clear. Your
staff is recommending approval. And we're requesting that you approve -- or recommend
approval of our conditional-use request to increase the area where we can blast.

We've always had the ability to blast eight times in a month. We're not asking to expand
that. We're going to live within the eight times a month that we already agreed to. We've reduced
the number of holes, and we've reduced the charge. And I think we have responded to comments
from the public, and we are -- my client is entitled to an approval of this conditional use.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So you didn't go from two to eight blasts a month as we've
heard several --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Right. We've always had the ability to do eight, yep; eight days.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. We've got -- do you still want to be signaled?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. We've got two commissioners, starting with Vice Chair
Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mr. Yovanovich, you said you reduced the charge. What
was your charge -- how many pounds were you --
MR. YOVANOVICH: A hundred was originally.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: A hundred originally.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Down to 85.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You're reducing to 85.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Do you have a blasting expert with you here today?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I have the operator. Well, I have Jeff, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because I want to know why 85? Why 85, and why the
number of holes? I just -- I need to understand why you have to have the size charge you have to
do -- is this an economics issue? Is this a -- is this an issue that has to do with the best practices?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're -- and I'll bring him up if you need me to. But we're
required to go 20 feet below water level, and that's the amount of charge we need for it to be
effective to break up the rock so we can get the rock. So we've reduced it, Commissioner Schmitt,
from 100, which would have been already -- which would have originally been allowed to what we
need.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Explain to me a charge out there. How many
holes are we digging on one charge?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm going to bring Barry up because --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: One blast.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: One blast. I want to know, how many holes are we
digging?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Barry Blankenship, Quality Enterprises USA.
On a normal blast, we're allowed, I believe it's 301 or 302. We've made -- we've always
planned to keep that down closer to 200 so we keep it at a lower level. We need a minimum of
100 when the blaster shows up because that's the minimum amount they will show up for. But if
we do that over and over and over, then we exhaust our charges out, you know, for eight times a
month, and then we don't have enough material.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So we're talking about a matter of efficiency and
effectiveness?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Both.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: What if I said to you, reduce to 100 holes and only
50 pounds?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Then it becomes cost prohibitive, you know, at this point because
it drives -- it drives the cost per ton, you know, of the material that you're excavating up to where,
you know, we can't afford to sell it.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So you just answered the question. It's more cost
effective for the operator?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yeah.

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because I personally think 80 is too much.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yeah. But based on what?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Just on my experience with explosives. And nobody's
explained to me why 85 is the right number now when we had 100.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: That's the minimum that we can get away with to be able to drill
the depth that -- where the lake has a minimum of 20 feet depth below water level that it will blast
that material.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But if you reduce the number of holes and you reduce the
charge, you may only operate three days a week. I don't really care. I'm worried about the
effectiveness and the explosiveness and the damage that -- alleged that is being caused throughout
the -- throughout the community.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, Commissioner Schmitt, we currently have the right to
continue blasting at 100 pounds a hole.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We can do it effectively at 85 pounds a hole. If you reduce us to
where you want to reduce us to, you put the mine out of business or you make it so expensive for
the rock for people to use, you can't afford it.
This is an important -- as you know, this is an important resource for roads and everything
else in Collier County.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I understand.
Okay. Let me follow up with another question, then. Of all the complaints you've heard,
how many of these homes have been inspected? And was there any determination that the mine
was at fault versus shifting of the soils or other types of things that typically result in cracking of
homes? Has there been any type of investigation of these homes?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm going to ask you -- the only one I know about personally is
Mr. Dixon. I don't know if anybody else has complained. Have you heard from anybody else
besides Mr. Dixon?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: I have visited about six homes over the past two years of
complaints. Of those, all of the ones I visited, for the majority purposes, appears to be stucco
cracks. I did witness one yesterday that I went to that has some zigzags of the blocks that -- but I
can't tell by looking at it how long it's been. It's been a long time since it's been there.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, I understand. You probably would have to have
some kind of structural analysis --
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Right.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- forensic analysis to determine whether there was a
structural issue, foundation issue, or otherwise. And like I said before, the old rule of thumb was
if you place concrete in Florida, it's eventually going to crack unless you have expansion joints
placed properly.
I go back to my grad school days. It was no more than six feet. And, I mean, I remember
that teacher -- that professor pounding that in my head when I studied concrete. Six or nine feet,
anything beyond that, you're going to get a crack unless you reinforce, rebar and otherwise.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So -- but that -- we've -- we're dealing with perception of
the community.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: We're dealing with this is being caused by the mine
operation. And I'm trying to figure out what have you done to convince them otherwise other than
you inspected it? Has -- you've not done any type of forensic analysis or structural analysis?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: I took photos --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Before you proceed, let's have the record show that you're Mr.
Blankenship.

Page 49 of 102
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yes, Barry Blankenship.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Go ahead.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yes. I took photos of what I saw there. We did not investigate
deeper into it --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: -- to determine. I told Mr. Dixon and Mr. Harrold both,
whenever I visited their house, that I took the photos. We would look at it later, see if there was
any change in cracks that I saw that are the surface cracks on the outside. In Mr. Harrold's house,
there was a crack across the floor that you can see that it's cracked through the tiles in the floor.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So the onus is on the homeowner to hire the professional
to prove that it wasn't structural?
MR. YOVANOVICH: That's the way the code works, yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Again, I'm going back to the 85 is now what you're
reducing to?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And that 85 is a scientific determination. And the
number of holes was how many, again, per blast?
MR. YOVANOVICH: For the number of holes per is --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No, not per month. Per blast. Because I'm concerned
about the blast.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Barry, come back up and tell us how many holes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So it's 85 pounds -- 85 pounds --
MR. BLANKENSHIP: We're averaging right now around 200. We're trying to hover
around that number, which is only two-thirds of what we're allowed. Okay. We have a
maximum amount per blast, so you could have small blasts combined with a large number that
equals up to the 1600.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But as far as I know, there's no restriction in the state
building code, international building code, you know, the IBC or any of the -- which the state code
follows, the building code? There's no restrictions on seismic activity? I know there's issues
about seismic, but there's no -- is there any type of restrictions that says you can go up to 100?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We cannot -- and I'm --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I know the conditional use. I'm talking about in practice.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Can --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'd like Jeff to come up here. Because, theoretically, we could do
one day and do all 1320 holes as long as we don't exceed the .2 feet per second -- and sorry,
.2 inches -- inch per second. So that's the standard we need to measure by is how do we know
we're not going to cause damage, and that's the standard.
MR. STRAW: Let me talk about just a minute -- go back in history. When this project
started, they looked at how much pounds per hole that was going to be used. Originally, it was the
100 because that was where they started; that was what the blasting contractor at that point in time,
not having the benefit of having had any blasts in that site, said they needed, okay.
It is a relationship -- as I talked about powder factor earlier, it is the relationship of the
amount of explosives to the density of the rock. It is calculated scientifically. And what the
blaster has come out with is that we can reduce that to 85 pounds per delay.
Now, any less, they don't break the rock effectively. The problem there is, yes, all the
things about cost. But for the neighbors, it increases ground vibration. Ground vibration is what
they're concerned about. The maximum pounds per hole that we are dealing with is what controls
the amount of vibration.
So if I shoot one hole or I shoot 1600 or the 1320, they're all going to be separated by time,
thousandths of a second. That's this delayed consequential blasting that we use. We still need the
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 55 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 50 of 102
85 pounds, and that's at the edge of what they need to actually break that rock.
They shoot that whether it's one hole or multiple holes because they're all separated. The
more holes that they blast, the better the fragmentation, the more energy goes into actually breaking
and moving the rock, the more efficient the blast is, the less waste energy you have. Vibration is
waste energy.
So the 85 is where we need to be. The number of holes doesn't necessarily make an issue
other than they have, you know, the eight times. So they blast the larger shots to comply with
what is going on. If their need is 200 holes, they could shoot 100 and 100, and there's there 200,
but their need for the month is greater than that to produce the volume of rock that Barry's talking
about needing.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. So is -- I'm now -- I'm confused. Is 85 pounds
total or 85 per hole?
MR. STRAW: Eighty-five per hole. That's what's necessary. That's what you need to
actually break that rock in that 20- to 25-foot column that they're that -- they're dealing with and in
terms of their excavation. They can't go less, and they're certainly not going to go more. They're
trying to fine tune this to reduce vibration as much as they can.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And you said they -- they put water in over the top.
They don't put any matting or any other type of --
MR. STRAW: No.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- material to make sure that explosive goes down into the
hole and goes sideways?
MR. STRAW: That's what the water -- the water actually works as stemming because the
stemming -- the water has been found to be as effective as anything else.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So in past practices, it has been pretty consistent at
100 pounds per hole?
MR. STRAW: Yes. And in the last -- I think in the last few, you know, months they've
reduced to 85 because they've found areas where they can do that. I mean, the blaster would love
to shoot 100 pounds because he gets more money for it. The operator wants him to use as little as
possible. The issue here is trying to find the right ratio, and that's what they've done with the
85 pounds. They can't reduce that.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And have you been -- have you done, in the past, 85?
MR. STRAW: Yes. They've had -- their last number -- last few shots -- I don't know
how far back it goes, but they've been blasting at 85 pounds. That's the way they know it works.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Enough questions for now. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you.
I'm not sure who to direct this to. So two quick questions. One, is the overall vibration
effect at the homeowner's site less in Phase 2 than what you're currently doing? And I say that
because while you're moving closer to homes but you are reducing the charge, will that seismic
detector, wherever, actually see less vibration because of what you're proposing now?
MR. STRAW: Yes, because the pounds per delay -- the pounds per hole has been
reduced. You know, we're not using the 100. We're going to the 85.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Even though you're moving closer to the home?
MR. STRAW: Yes. Because what they have to do then is directionally look at
where -- you know, where they are. They may reach a point where they say we've exceeded .2 or
we're at the monthly average of .2 and they say we can't go any closer, and they're finished.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. Very good. And my last question --
MR. STRAW: I guess, if you understand the vibration limits, it's a speed limit, okay. So
we have a speed limit. It doesn't make -- if you're on I-75 out here, it doesn't make any difference
whether you have a cement mixer, a Ferrari, or a Volkswagen. If the limit is 55 miles per hour,
that's it.
5.A.a

February 1, 2024
Page 51 of 102
You know, in this case we have a limit of .2 that we can deal with over that monthly
period. We can't go above that. If it gets to the point they're going to be above that all the time,
they can't continue to blast. That's -- that's where this goes. That's how definitive that is. And as
soon as we start seeing those things, you know, we go back, the operator gets them, the Collier
County folks get them. So you have everybody checking that.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you.
And the last question -- I don't think anyone on the panel -- I may be misspeaking here, but
it was brought up by the neighbors. Is there any type of water evaluation, water table, water
natural springs underneath evaluation done that is able to be shared with the community of here's
what happened 10 years ago? Five years ago? Currently? As we've heard, that entire area gets
their drinking water from wells.
MR. STRAW: There's two avenues here. One, I'm coauthor on a paper studying the
effects of blasting on drilled water wells. There's not an effect on the structure of the well or
anything else that we're dealing with here in South Florida.
I've done ones where we have really restrictive water flow like a tenth-of-a-gallon type
wells, and then we've done where we have -- one where we have what we have in Florida is a lot of
water flow, and there's no effect on the well itself. So that's not going to happen. We're not
displacing that rock. So the well is fine the way it is.
Now, DEP had done studies on the effects of blasting in the Lake Belt region, which is the
Miami-Dade quarries. They were doing testing on it. I don't know the results other than I know
that there were no chemicals that were coming from the water related to blasting.
I mean, they weren't finding anything that was any different. In other words, they were
testing a day before the blast, the morning of the blast, and immediately after the blast, and they
were not finding any change in the water, because they're in the lakes.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Has any of that type or similar testing taken place
within your area of operation here?
MR. STRAW: I don't know whether that has been done here. I know that they were
requiring it across the state for all mining operations like this, but that's outside of what I do for a
living. I know the tests in Miami that were done and what they were doing, but I don't -- and
I -- here I don't know. I would presume there was some at some point.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Maybe that's something that Mr. Yovanovich could
look into for us, if you would, please.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Sure.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't have the answer, but I will look into it. I mean, we're
complying with all permit conditions for the state as well as the county.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: And -- because it was brought up by the residents and
nowhere had it been mentioned in the petition or in any of our previous conversations, I think it's
appropriate to at least find out. Hey, by any chance is there anything adversely affecting the
drinking water of these neighbors? And I don't expect you to have the answer, probably won't
even have it today, but something that might be able to be presented at the BCC meeting would go
a long way for either side.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I understand.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. Actually, Randy covered my question. But a
couple of other thoughts I have. It seems to me that -- and based on everything I'm hearing, you
guys are really blasting at the amount of blasting that is economically appropriate, and you're using
the 85 pounds because that's economically appropriate. So you're locking yourself into that, but
you're really already doing both of those things anyway. So one could argue you're not really
giving up much.

Page 52 of 102
And what you're getting in exchange for that is blasting closer to the homes which your
expert says is not going to have an effect. But that's -- if I just simplified it, the one thing you're
here today -- because you could just withdraw the petition, and, you know, you'd have -- go up to
100 pounds up to eight days, right?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So the one thing you're asking for is to blast closer?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. I just want to make sure I've got the big picture.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Right. There's a resource there that is a necessary resource for
the citizens of Collier County. It's not being used for this project. It's a resource. And in order
to get that resource out at a value that people can afford to pay, we're asking to tap that resource.
But we're trying to assure everybody that just because we're getting closer to the boundary of the
property, we're not causing harm.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: What is the -- I'm looking at the site on here. What is the
lifespan of this mine? What is the planned lifespan of this mine operating before we begin to
convert it to a residential area? Are we looking at a 10-year sunrise [sic]? Fifteen-year
operation? What are we looking at?
MR. YOVANOVICH: At the current levels of production, we're talking four to five
years.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Four to five.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Four to five. Not 45; four to five.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And just to rephrase, in Phase 2, if we were to reduce
before -- the load under 85, what I heard the expert say is it would not be efficient, or it would not
be effective; is that correct?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think he said it wouldn't be effective. Correct? It will not
break -- it won't break the rock.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'd like to have that stated on the record.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Your name?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Barry Blankenship.
If we use less than 85 pounds, then, instead of breaking the rock up, it leaves it with lots of
big boulders which means that's material that just has to be cast aside and can't be used.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Or crushed.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Or crushed, because when you take boulder that are the size of
this desk or larger, then it takes more energy trying to break that down afterwards. And usually, if
you're trying to do that with a hydraulic hammer at that point, it costs more than what you get out
of it.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. I'm going to go back. Mr. Yovanovich, you
made a statement that you're -- you will commit to notifying homeowners within one mile of the
property line?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We already have that. That commitment's there, but we're going
to let them know 72 hours in advance instead of 24 hours in advance.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And that will be, what I read, by their text or --
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's a commitment we're adding. It's not there today.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is that either by text or otherwise?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're going to send them a letter saying, "How do you want us to
communicate to you?" And we will honor their wishes. If they want us to call them, we'll call
them. If they want us to e-mail them, we'll e-mail them. If they want us to text them, we'll text

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, what I want in that letter as well is all homeowners
within a mile of the property line, not the blast zone, but the property line, so that's a mile perimeter
that homeowners will be advised of how they would file an official complaint and to whom and
what procedures they would need to follow. It's basically a reiteration of the state policy.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I just wanted to add on to what Commissioner Sparrazza said.
Some of the residents said there's some new water line, sewer lines in the area and question
whether there was reason to be concerned. I would ask that you guys be prepared to address that,
too, since the question was raised here. I don't know if there's any pipes in the area, but they move
when the ground moves.
MR. BELLOWS: I will most certainly reach out to Dr. Yilmaz and Mr. McLean with
Public Utilities and make them aware so they're able to address that comment with the BCC.

Commissioner Vernon.
Go ahead, sir.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Go ahead.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Schmitt, what I've been told is one of the impacts of going
from 100 pounds per hole to 85 pounds per hole is the actual resource is 45 feet deep in the ground,
but with the reduced charge, we can only go 20 feet deep. So we're leaving with this -- with this
change in the amount of pounds per hole, we're not getting all of the resource out of there, and
that's what -- that's part of the downside, if you will, of reducing the charge.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'm going to make a statement and invite you to challenge
that statement.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I think it's within my -- I don't want to speak for
everybody else, but based on everything I'd heard, depending on how I feel about the testimony on
both sides, it's within my discretion here to approve or deny. What do you think?
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think I disagree. There's the criteria.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Go ahead. Lay it out.
MR. YOVANOVICH: The criteria are based upon expert testimony. In order for you to
understand the criteria -- it's not a laymen's analysis. The expert testimony, not only our expert but
county staff's expert, says we met each of the criteria. If we meet each of the criteria, we are
entitled -- it's a quasi-judicial proceeding. It's not legislative. If it was legislative, it's a totally
different standard. If there's competent substantial evidence to support our position and that's in
the record and there's no competent substantial evidence refuting that, you have to approve it. It's
not discretionary.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: That's Mr. Yovanovich's perspective. You have to look at all
the evidence before you. Testimony of personal perceptions and some of those can count. But
you're not allowed to deny it based on the vibrations. That we're -- there's case law in the statutes
on that, but you can ask for increased setbacks, things like that, if you're not finding compatibility.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That -- let me go back to you. Just do a hypothetical.
Let's say I -- and don't anybody take this personally. But I find your -- or applicant's experts to be
not credible. Are you saying if there's no opposing testimony under your -- I understand what the
county's saying. Are you saying I don't really have the discretion? I need to approve?
MR. YOVANOVICH: You'd have to not only find my expert not credible, you'd have to
find county staff not credible.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay.

MR. YOVANOVICH: Now --
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Mr. Chairman?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I think going back to you on --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Klucik, hang on one second. Commissioner
Vernon, are you finished?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: No.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. After -- after that, we'll get you in, Commissioner Klucik.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And could you just go over that one more time? I
understand you saying --
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I mean, I think you can find a lack of compatibility, and based
on that you can say we're not recommending approval.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: On the setbacks.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I mean, you've heard a lot of testimony on the record, various
testimony. So, yeah, I think you can. But that would warrant not allowing them to expand. I
mean, they already are operating there. And I don't know how much time they have left on the
mine, but they're asking for changes.
And I would say that Heidi told you you can't consider vibration, and the people are telling
you it's not compatible based upon their feelings about the vibration. They don't have -- they have
yet to come and say -- provide any evidence other than anecdotal that they have cracks in their
house and they think it's caused by the vibration of the blasting. We have the expert who could
talk to you about vibrations and the impacts. So if you're thinking it's not compatible because of
vibration, I think that that's not an acceptable determination on your part.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, it seems to me that's a credibility issue. It doesn't
seem -- it seems to me I have the right to believe the testimony of 10 people who have testified, and
I have the right to discount your expert's testimony. I'm not saying I'm going to.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I understand.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: But --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'm just saying, as a -- from your perspective as a land-use
lawyer, I think -- based on everything I'm hearing, I think I've got some discretion here depending
on how I feel about all the evidence.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I understand.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay. I'm going to say it's out of line for Rich to tell you that
you have to approve it. You have to look at the criteria for conditional use and find out whether or
not they have -- if you think that there are adverse overall effects that don't warrant approving it,
you can do that. He's not your counsel. It's out of line for him telling you what you should do.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, I don't think it's out of line for me to ask him,
because I think the more information I have, the better decision I can make.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: No, no. He's telling you you have to approve it, and that's the
part that's out of line.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I know and -- but for example, all three of us are lawyers.
If I'm in the courtroom and I ask counsel to tell me what the law is, it doesn't mean I have to agree
with him.
I've asked him for what the law is, and I really appreciate you giving me the law. But I
think -- I want to know what he thinks as well as what you think so I can make the best decision.
So don't think I'm just buying what he's telling me.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: No. He can answer any question that you have --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: -- but I have heard him say on other occasions as well as now
"you have to do this," and he told you "I'm entitled to this." That is not correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Oh, I hear you. You're disputing what he says.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes.

COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. I got it. I got it.
I'll just make one more comment, and then I'll turn it over to Klucik, Mr. Klucik. I just
want the people on the -- basically on the right side of the room to understand that -- this is just my
personal opinion. But I've been doing this for two-and-a-half years now, so I've seen a lot of
presentations. I will tell you my perspective. I'm not trying to suggest how I'm going to vote.
But my perspective is they are, compared to most applicants, trying to be very good neighbors.
That's my impression. I just want to let you know that, because I think I'm asking a lot of
challenging questions. I don't want you to get the wrong impression, because I've seen a lot of
applicants that are less good neighbors than they seem to be based on everything I've seen.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Klucik.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
So I guess I would ask both the petitioner as well as our counsel, what is the competent and
substantial evidence regarding vibrations? What is all of the competent and substantial evidence
regarding vibrations? Because I know we have the testimony of experts. Do we have any other
testimony that is competent and substantial regarding the impact of the vibrations or cracks?
MR. YOVANOVICH: In my opinion, you do not. You have an expert -- and it requires
expert testimony to understand the impacts of vibrations. That -- the only expert that's here that
has testified to that, and your own staff have testified to it, we meet the criteria.
They have -- they did not put up an expert to say, "They are wrong. It is doing X, Y, and
Z as far as creating the vibration, and as a result of that, that's causing the damage."
You do not have an expert saying anything refuting, and that's -- the standard is competent
substantial evidence.
(Simultaneous crosstalk.)
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: That's my question for our counsel as well, then, is is there
any competent and substantial evidence that's -- that is contrary to the expert testimony that we've
had?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner, I'm going to jump in first and then turn it over to
Ms. Ashton because I don't completely agree with Mr. Yovanovich's interpretation of the law here.
In my judgment -- excuse me -- the evidence -- the oral testimony that is supplied by these
witnesses that they've got vibration or that they've got cracks is evidence. It doesn't have to be
expert evidence. They are competent to provide that testimony about their own house. What I'm
concerned about is a lack of causal connection between that damage and the actions of this
applicant.
So having said that, let me turn it over --
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yeah. That's my whole point is the -- if I show up and say
that I've got, you know, blood on my -- you know, on my clothes, you know, and I'm trying to say
that, you know, someone hit me, and if that -- whatever, someone did something to me, and then
they're a mile away, and we have expert testimony that there's no way they could have, you know,
made my clothes bloody, it's not a denial that, you know, my clothes are bloody. It's a question of
whether or not the expert is right that from a mile away they could have bloodied my clothes.
And that's -- you know, I know that's -- analogies always suffer. That was one I just made
up. But the point is exactly what you said, we have evidence that -- you know, from experts that
are sworn about what causes cracks and what kind of damage can be caused at these distances
based on this activity, based on what they're asking for in their petition, and then we have evidence
in the form of testimony that my house has cracks or, you know, I've heard these loud noises, you
know, whatever, the negative impacts.
And I think we do have to be careful about what each kind of -- you know, what we can
conclude from each type of evidence, and if we don't have evidence that it is caused by what's
proposed, then we have to be careful about it. We have to base our voting on not -- on that we feel
sorry for people. We have to base it on whether, you know, the petition is in compliance with the
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 61 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 56 of 102
requirements, basically, based on the expert testimony and anything else before us. But we have
to be careful how we weigh what's before us.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: And I would like counsel's answer.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, Counsel.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, you have a couple criteria for conditional uses. The effect
on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic, or odor effects, and also the
compatibility with adjacent properties.
Now, you have multiple activities on this site. Blasting is just one of them. You've got
rock crushing and, you know, you engineers can explain it better than I can. But from my
perspective, those are all things that are real.
Competent substantial evidence, if I'm giving expert opinion, which those are the experts
that Mr. Yovanovich has presented for testimony, is one form of substantial competent evidence,
but that's not the only. That is for opinion testimony.
A layperson can testify. A layperson can testify to something that requires extra
education, like I'm testifying how many cars, you know, are on the road and you've got expert
transportation experts giving you advice on those things. But a person can say, "I've got damage
to my house." I don't think we're a court of law where we're awarding negligence here or
anything. We're looking at what is reasonable. And you're -- you know, you're trying to guide
the Board and assist them in making a reasonable determination.
MR. YOVANOVICH: May I?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Sorry? Yes, go ahead.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't think I disagree with what Heidi said or what you said with
regard to what people can testify to. Yeah, they testified that there's vibration, but they have not
provided any evidence that what they've experienced was caused by us.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And I don't think they're required to.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I believe you have standards that are in the code and that are in the
law. It says you can't exceed X decibels. It says you can't exceed X inches per -- X inches per
second I think is the right standard. Those are all objective standards to be entitled. And I -- we
disagree. One of these days we're going to go to court, and we're going to find out who's right.
I believe that the standard is competent substantial evidence if I have it in the record.
You've got to have competent substantial evidence to say I haven't met my burden. We could
debate that all day. There is no competent substantial evidence in the record that says we're the
cause of any damage to anybody's home, and I believe -- Mr. Chairman, we're done with public
comment.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I know that, but I'm not interrupting you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay, thank you.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And I don't think that's a legal requirement when you're making
a subjective determination on whether there are -- whether there's noise, glare, economic, odor
effects. Compatibility tends to be one where you do rely more on experts, but I don't know that
the staff report has really addressed whether there's compatibility or not under Section 5.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I believe staff's recommending approval, and the only way they
can do that is to say that we satisfied all the criteria.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to address the lady who approached the podium and
say, I'm very sorry, but we've closed public comment.
MS. GUTIERREZ: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
All right. We've got Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mike, did you want to make a comment before I talk?
Your microphone.
MR. BOSI: Yeah. In relationship to the staff report and the five criteria that this petition
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 62 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 57 of 102
is evaluated against, we've highlighted the effects of the conditional-use on neighboring properties
in relationship to noise, glare, economics, and odor effects compat- -- as one criteria. The other is
compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district.
Those are subjective determinations. You're entitled to review the full evidence that was
presented and determine what you feel is a compatible or noncompatible use in relationship to the
surrounding properties. I understand the expert testimonies and the limits that they're allowed to
blast to. But if in your mind that -- the number of houses that have been developed over the
course of time since '99, since this original CU was granted approval, has grown to the point where
you think that the number -- that the blasting, the crushing, the activities on aren't compatible with
those -- if that's the determination that you as an individual are making, not upon specifically expert
testimony but the full body of that was presented to you -- so you have a lot of discretion because
it's subjective. Unfortunately, it's very gray as to what is compatible and what's not compatible.
Staff arrived upon a recommendation of approval because we felt it was compatible, but
you're not obligated to follow staff's position as much as you're not obligated to hear the expert
testimony and think that that's the only thing that is part of the consideration. So there's a lot of
discretion within the conditional-use evaluation process that you're entitled to.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I agree completely, for what it's worth.
Anything else, Vice Chairman?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I do have a question. I'm going to go back to the
85 pounds again. How did you arrive at that figure? Were there test blasts conducted, and was
85 deemed to be the optimal?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. I believe that's the case. The blasts --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I have your expert testimony, your expert?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Just so everybody understands, even though we've closed the
public comment, we as Planning Commissioners can always ask for someone else to come up and
talk at any time. That's our prerogative.
Go ahead, sir.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Barry Blankenship, Quality Enterprise USA.
We were asked to look and evaluate what could we do to lower the vibrations in any way.
Lowering the number of pounds per hole was one of those variables that we had the option to
exercise.
When we got to 85, anything below that, then we start producing more boulders. And like
I said, that's material that we can't utilize, can't screen, crush, et cetera, at a reasonable value.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: For clarification, you did run test shots, and this was --
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- deemed to be the optimal?
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I ask Jeff to come up again, please? Because I want
to ask him a question.
Jeff, you appear to be the expert at least on the explosive. What kind of explosive is in the
hole? What -- is it a slurry mix, you said?
MR. STRAW: It's a -- this one is an emulsion. They're the same, virtually, when you
look at them. It is an ammonium nitrate, but min- --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So it is ammonium nitrate?
MR. STRAW: It's ammonium nitrate, but it is a mineral oil with other base chemicals that
are used. And it's a pumpable product. That's why I'm saying it's a mix. You know, they pump
it through a bulk truck. They bring it in. It's an oxidizer, so it's a semi-liquid-looking paste.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: My recollection, ammonium nitrate is not a very fast
explosive like C4.
MR. STRAW: No, not in any way, shape, or form. This is --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right.

February 1, 2024
Page 58 of 102
MR. STRAW: This is where we differ with your Army training.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. STRAW: And it is quite -- it is quite different. The only thing in the hole that's the
same would be the blasting cap and the booster. Those are high P-E-E-T-N type of explosives,
and those are to get this other -- to produce the pressure to produce this other material to detonate --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. STRAW: -- and produce the gases. We want a slower burning material in this so
that it produces more gas. The idea is to produce the gas, go sideways into the existing cracks of
the rock and fragment that, and then as those widen -- you know, if you have a series of cracks, the
gas goes into them, and as they widen, you get more gas forced into there.
And sooner or later, when that stops breaking, then the material stops moving, it heaves
upward a little bit, but that's where that waste energy then becomes the ground vibration. It's, like,
95 to 96 percent of the energy goes into breaking and fragmenting the rock. That last little bit is
what we measure as vibration.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: On your seismic detectors -- and you mentioned that
they're in the sand. Of course, sand does not carry a vibration as far as solid rock does or rock.
MR. STRAW: You're not going to get it here because, remember, we're dealing with
saturated soils.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. STRAW: So this is a little different than, you know, just a rock layer. This is -- this
is not, say, the Carolinas where you have, you know, solid limestone layers, and you can -- I'm sure
you've seen those, you know, in your experience. This is rock, sand interlaced with -- all of this is
saturated conditions. So between all of that, it carries -- it transmits energy uniformly and it -- you
know, other than some cracks and things that are different, it goes out in a radius like I talked about
the rock in a pond kind of thing.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: All right. Thank you.
MR. STRAW: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Well, I'm glad I'm not an attorney --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm glad I'm not an engineer.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- because I don't get hung up on those things. We're into a
discussion over theory versus actual, and we don't -- and we don't know the cause, but we know
something's going on. You could probably verify it by finding communities twice as far away of
similar age and inspecting their buildings and seeing if they have similar cracks. That would
probably be a good argument.
So I think I like the idea of you reducing the criteria even -- why don't we do that and not
extend the blast area; reduce the criteria for a year and see what happens. I know the theory says
what's going to happen, but obviously there's some -- potentially a disconnect between the theory
and the actual. But try the reduced blast requirements for a year and see what happens. And then
come back and talk to us about expanding the blast area. I can tell Rich is really excited.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: He has no appetite for this at all.
MR. YOVANOVICH: No. And, you know --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Just a moment, Mr. Yovanovich.
Again, I apologize, but the public comment portion has concluded. It's possible, but
probably not likely, since there are no experts on the other side, that we would call be somebody
up. But it's really not likely. Again, forgive me, but those are the rules.
Go ahead, sir, Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: You know, and I appreciate what you're saying, Mr. Shea, but,
you know, we have -- we have experts who do this and know what they're doing, and they are
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 64 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 59 of 102
telling you that expanding this into the yellow area with the criteria we are agreeing to is not going
to cause problems for our neighbors. It will be just like it is today is essentially what they're
saying.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: And there are no problems right now?
MR. YOVANOVICH: What I'm saying is we have had -- Barry's had six people
complain. There's a process. Everybody, I'm sure -- and I probably would think the same thing.
I felt a vibration, I got a crack, it's got to be the vibration, but that doesn't mean it's right. That's
what Jeff's here to tell you.
Here's what the building code says and how it's designed, and here's what all these tests
have shown, that you have to hit a certain threshold before we cause the damage they're saying
they're experiencing. It's a science. He's the scientist. He's been doing this for I think he said 43
years, that's a long time, and that analysis has been done for 45 years before him.
So we're going to be in the same place we are in a year, and you're going to go through
another public-hearing process. And maybe I could be way more efficient by just keeping the
higher charge, more holes, and go deeper for that one year, I mean, and stay within the parameters.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm getting signaled from someone in the back, and I have to
repeat myself, sir. It's unfortunate, but the public's speaking time has concluded.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE VOICE: I do have an expert witness on site here today.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, but it would be up to us to invite that person to speak.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE VOICE: He's sitting right there.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: He had the opportunity to speak.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anything further?
Commissioner Vernon, go ahead, sir.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I just -- I don't know. I'm just ready, kind of, to
give some comments. And I looked at my -- the transcript, and I think I was the last one to talk
before the chairman at the November hearing when you guys postponed. I said, you've got an
applicant trying to be a good neighbor, which I repeated here today on the -- and then I said, I'd
rather see something that the neighbors think is good and the applicant is thinking [sic] good rather
than a bunch of numbers which are different than the boots on the ground.
So I'm kind of at the same place I was before. And this is a tough one. This is a tough
one.
I do agree with Heidi. I listened to you. I listened to Heidi. I agree with Heidi, and I
agree with Mike. You know, these 10 people were all under oath. We've got two engineers up
here. I think that I can -- and I've heard testimony -- maybe I heard it different. But I heard
testimony amongst some of them that it wasn't there before the blast. It was there after the blast.
So that's competent and substantial evidence that I can weigh against experts.
And with respect to the staff, I usually rely very heavily on the staff. But I think Mike
said it well, I mean, they're kind of a barrier to entry. If they were the final word, you don't need
us. You don't need engineers on the panel or people with those kind of skills.
So I -- I think it is our discretion whether we approve or not. I think that they are
currently doing what is economic -- I think they're being good neighbors, but I think right now
they're blasting on the number of days and the number of holes and the amount of the charge based
on economics.
So if you told them to go away, unless they're being spiteful, they're going to -- they're
already doing this. They're not at 100. They're at 85 because it saves them money. So they're
there. I mean, they're asking to get closer.
And this is a really close call. And I usually -- and the reason we get into -- I get into the
law as a lawyer is because I want the public and I want Rich to have some consistency on what this
board does. And from day one, I don't know what the heck quasi-judicial means, but it's not a
court of law but, yet, there is some parameters.
I don't believe these folks have to prove causation beyond preponderance -- whatever. I
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 65 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

find their testimony credible. It's collectively consistent. Arguably, Mr. Garcia probably could
be qualified as an expert. He didn't. But he's -- you know, he brought something to the table last
time. I think I highlighted his testimony last time. I remember it.
So I'm going to vote against it. And I'm really struggling with this one because I do think,
Rich, your clients are being very good neighbors, and I don't think you're -- I really -- I wish you
guys could get together and work it out, but I just don't see that happening.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Can I correct one of your factual statements? We were doing
100. We reduced it to 85 after meeting with the neighbors.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Fair comment. And the reason I said what I said is
because Barry says you have to pay for explosives, and the more explosives you get, the more
expensive it is. And the 85 seems to work, so maybe you should thank your neighbors for saying,
why don't we go with 85; you guys will make more money, and it will still be effective. So I don't
think you're going to go back to 100.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think we will, because that will be -- because we need to get
enough material from each of the holes, and you're going to force us to stay where we are, and we'll
just go with more holes and a higher charge.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, if that is correct then, again, I go back to pointing
out that these folks seem to -- this applicant seems to be trying to be a good neighbor.
And, Mr. Dixon, maybe you know -- I don't know. Maybe you can realize he's going to
be back at 100, and it might get worse. And so I wish you two had gotten together. And it's a
close call. But I'm going to vote against it. I just want to let everybody know where I'm coming
from.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes, I have just one question for Mr. Sawyer, if he
could -- if I could -- Mike, I don't know if you were in the room -- and while you're walking you
can think about it -- I asked about the dollar per truck per day, but I don't know if I really got a
sufficient answer. If I recall, 15 years ago, 18 years ago it was $1 per truck per day. And are you,
as staff, satisfied? You signed off on it, $1 per truckload per day as the impact?
MR. SAWYER: Yeah. For the record, Mike Sawyer, Transportation Planning.
The existing staff that we have with Transportation Planning wasn't around 15 years ago,
quite honestly.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. SAWYER: I think I may have, quite honestly, reviewed this project from a
landscaping standpoint originally.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Landscape.
MR. SAWYER: But that being said, it is an existing condition. You -- you asked for a
rational nexus for this. What I can easily bring to the front of that is -- is we have toll roads, okay,
and those are charged on the basis of the size and the type of vehicle. I don't believe that this is all
that much different than that.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Let me rephrase then. The money you've
collected in the past for the same condition has substantial -- or has met the -- any requirements for
road repair. So you've not -- you don't believe that there's anything warranted to raise the fee?
MR. SAWYER: At this time, no.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. You answered my question. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. At this point, no one is signaling.
Mr. Yovanovich, anything further on rebuttal?
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, sir. I appreciate this is a hard call, and there's ramifications
either way. There's the opportunity to lower the charge, get the material at a less depth. It's an
important resource in Collier County, and when resource runs out, you're bringing more trucks in
from other locations at a greater expense.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. All right. So the matter is now in our hands for
deliberation and motion. Who would like to speak or move?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I think I'll start, then, hearing silence.
Unfortunately, my experience in -- a 40-pound shaped charge or 40-pound cratering charge
of ammonium nitrate makes a lot of noise and a lot of -- but that's my experience, shaped charges,
C4, cratering charges. So I'm not an expert in mining.
And I saw the film. And it is synchronized, and it is timed. I do have great compassion
for the folks who are experiencing the problem, but I do appreciate also the applicant who took it
upon themselves to evaluate to find the optimum solution at 85, reduce the number of holes. I am
torn because I've heard the citizens speak, but I -- again, it's that connectivity. Yes, they've
experienced it, but I have not been convinced other than the experience they say, well, it wasn't
there before but it is now. But I've got to have substantial evidence to convince me that the
blasting caused the damage.
So based on that, I am going to make a recommendation of approval of this conditional
use, that they will stay at the -- they will go to the 85 or stay at the 85, reduce the number of holes,
that they will advise all -- they will advise everybody within a mile of the mine of the blasting, the
days it will take place, and ask for how they want to be notified the day of the blast. And in that
application -- or in that notice will also include any procedures and define procedures in how they
would either register a complaint. Of course, they can always contact their commissioner.
For folks out there, you all know we're volunteers. We're appointed to this position based
on at least our experience, and we're -- we are citizens appointed by the commissioners. Your
elected officials, again, are the ones that are going to make the final decision. You would make a
complaint to them if you believe anything's gone wrong. And -- but I would advise that you either
advise them to contact their commissioner or through the -- go through the state process.
So with that, I recommend approval as -- based on the stipulations, and also the increase in
the bond to a million dollars. Yes?
MR. BOSI: And maybe -- the Chair was going to add the retirement of the excavation
areas as they go along on an annual basis.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to ask the movant if he would permit me. I've got a list
of five.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Go ahead, please.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And then we'll -- if it's agreeable with the movant, we'll ask for a
second. And are you going to want to --
MR. YOVANOVICH: I was going to make sure you had them all, because if -- I want to
make sure everything I committed to gets on there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, let's -- yeah. And I don't think this needs to come back on
consent, but there are sufficient language issues that it might be useful, and I defer to the Planning
Commission to delegate to me the authority to review the final language. I'm not saying it's
necessary, but it's something to be considered.
In any event, the conditions that I believe I've got here, No. 1, that the applicant will
surrender or relinquish immediately square footage no longer being blasted and, going forward,
will continue to surrender or relinquish as blasting is continued -- is discontinued. That's No. 1.
Number 2, the $1 million bond -- the 500,000 will be upped to a million, and it would have
to be replenished if it's used.
Number 3, that there would be -- the blasting will be directed away from the residences.
Number 4, 72 hours' notice to persons within a mile.
Number 5, 100 pounds reduced to 85-pound charge per hole.
Did I get that right?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You got it right.
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, you missed the number of holes and you missed -- and we
reduced the berm around the equipment from six months to 90 days.

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Number of holes reduced from 1680 down to 1320.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: 1680 holes to 1920?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mr. Yovanovich, are there any --
MR. YOVANOVICH: 1320. You went the wrong way.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: 1320. What was the other one?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We reduced the -- originally, we had six months to put a berm
around equipment if the attenuation wasn't working. We've reduced that to now do the berm
within 90 days.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Got it.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I think that's everything.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I just have one last question. In regards to when they
blast, other than yelling "fire in the hole," is there any audible sound, siren or any other thing that
goes on? I don't think people could hear it a mile away.
Just for the record, state your name again.
MR. BLANKENSHIP: Barry Blankenship, Quality Enterprises USA.
Yes. According to the fire marshal's rules, before the blast, there is a loud blast with an air
horn that is on site both at the -- before the countdown and then at the all clear.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. All right. Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: No. I have a --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go. Point of information?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I would like to make a suggestion, not a condition for
this. But as we talked earlier, if there is any way that a sample of drinkable water, potable water is
available and that a couple of tests could be run before the BCC meeting to remove any conditions
or problems that the residents may have, I think it would be a great education for both parties. It's
a suggestion. I don't want to make it a stipulation.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're happy to do that, and maybe some of the people who are
here will allow us to grab samples from their wells.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Working together in communications between the
petition [sic] and the neighborhood is, I think, all of our goal. Yes, thank you for that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So let's go ahead and make that a condition. Well water samples.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Recommendation or is condition too strong? It's
never been --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Not for me, particularly because the applicant's willing to do it.
Let's not leave money on the table here.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Movant, do you accept that?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So I've got eight conditions. Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I'll second it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Do we have discussion before we vote?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, we do. And one of the things I'd like to discuss is whether
we believe this needs to come back on consent or whether the Planning Commission wants me to
review it or whether neither is needed.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can we keep that till later?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Later?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: That's a procedural thing. I'm still up for discussion.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, you want to discuss on the substance of it. Go right ahead.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yeah, I don't support that at all. I still get hung up on the fact
that we have existing conditions, and I think it was Mr. Garcia said, it doesn't make any sense to

expand the blast area. I realize you're reducing the potential impacts while you're increasing the
area.
And I don't think the burden of proof is on the residents to prove that the damage to their
house was caused -- wasn't -- or was caused by yours, your blasting. I think you should do more
homework. I'm probably going to lose my -- the vote, but I would try and do some more
homework and look at these things and say, you know, all the houses 10 miles away have this same
kind of damage. I have the crack in the slab. I'm nowheres near blasting. I take the carpet off,
20 years later I have a big crack in the slab.
So I think you need to do more homework to prove that it wasn't, whereas you're saying
they need to get an expert to prove that the cracks were caused. Based on that, I'm going to vote
against it. I think -- I think there needs -- you need to do more homework to convince me.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. I've got an opinion -- but I'm not going to express it
now -- having to do with how the burden of going forward probably shifts, but where this -- we're
not going to resolve that.
So we've got a motion. And was there a second?
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, commissioner Klucik.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yes, I'll second the motion.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I already did.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: But I also wanted to say that I don't think that -- I don't
think it's good for us to -- you know, we are a quasi-judicial body, and I think that's a legitimate
thing. It's not unique to Collier County or Florida. We're quasi-judicial, and it's very simple what
that means. It means that we assess the facts -- we're fact finders -- and then we apply the law to
those facts. When things are legislative, we just vote how we feel like voting. When we add
quasi-judicially, we are fact finders, and we apply the law to those facts.
And it's real simple, and I think that it's important for the public to know that there is a
distinction, and it's a real distinction. And, you know, here is a question of what are the facts that
we weigh and how much weight do we give them, which is always what fact finders, you know,
have to contend with.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Klucik, I agree with everything you said with one
exception. I think -- I don't think we can act in an arbitrary and capricious manner on the
legislative side. But, otherwise, I agree with the way you stated this.
Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: No, I'm concluded.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Commissioner Vernon, are you concluded?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Just a couple of comments, because I've already sort of
stated my thought process.
The only thing I'd say is, you know, Mr. Dixon, I'm not sure it's going to change anything
at this point, but you seem to be the quasi leader of your group, and you might want to reach out to
the other side in a collaborative way and see if, you know -- because, again, I get the impression
they're trying to be good neighbors. So I don't know if anything can be done, but I would
recommend that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
So at this point no one is signaling, and we've got a motion, and it's been seconded.
I want to weigh in where I'm going to come down on this, and I completely understand the
issues that have been raised by the neighbors, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if I were in their
shoes I'd be sitting in that seat and wanting to be heard. And I think they were heard, and I think
they made a good case for the existence of cracks and the existence of tremors. So, you know,
they as homeowners are competent to give that testimony, but what I did not hear -- and
Commissioner Vernon, I think, believes he did, and so maybe I am wrong, but I did not hear
anybody offer anything that caught me as evidence of causation.

And I asked the question specifically about the proximity of other blasters. And, you
know, the fact that there are other blasters, even though they only blast occasionally, raises a
concern on my part that we can't necessarily ascribe all fault on this particular applicant.
And I do believe that sufficient evidence was brought forward by the applicant's expert.
And, you know, although the homeowners testified within their competence as to what has
happened, causation is a piece that I really needed to find for them. So I will be voting in favor of
this application subject to the eight conditions that have been announced.
And I hear other people on the substance of this, but I would still like the Planning
Commission to weigh in on how we verify faithfulness of the conditions to our discussion.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'll just say I'm fine with you looking at it. Is that what
you're saying, the conditions?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, if that's what the Planning Commission wants.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's fine with me.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's fine with me. I ask that staff validates and
substantiate, then the Chair will coordinate with staff. I don't think -- I don't think it needs to come
back. These are very clear. The petitioner has concurred, and they're very clear stipulations.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Thank you.
All right. Anybody else want to be heard on this at all before we vote?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, we'll close discussion. All those in favor of the motion to
approve the CUA with the eight conditions, please say aye.
Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Those opposed?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: No.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. So it passes 4-2, I believe. I think I got that right.
Yeah. 4-2, Mr. Bosi, is that what you --
MR. BOSI: That's what I heard.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So it passes 4-2. Thank you, applicant.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I make a statement, though? For the public, it's a
split decision. You need to understand it will be full open public hearing at the Board of County
Commissioner meeting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can I add to that? You need -- if you're having trouble
getting information out, numbers are very important. I would suggest now that you know what's
going on, you spread the word so we can get more -- more input, the commissioners can have more
input. And any homework -- you've heard some of the things that we struggle over. Any
homework you -- because the commissioners are going to struggle over it the same as we do, but
they have the vote. We're advisory.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And my heartfelt thanks to the members of the public who took
time out of their day to come and speak. And the kindly gentleman who apologized for becoming
a little emotional, apologies accepted completely, and thank you for being here, sir.
And with that, it's -- we're very close to time, believe it or not, for another pause. And as
we consider this, I want to say, just -- oh, Commissioner Vernon, did you want to --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I didn't want to interrupt you, but before you break, I just
had something to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Sure. I'm going to need to be refueled at some point

before I go too much further. I can go somewhat further, but not, perhaps, the whole distance,
because we've got two more matters, and I've got extensive questions on the one coming up, so...
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And I have a lot on the other one coming up, so there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And in fairness to Mr. Mulhere and his client, you know, perhaps
we should take our lunch break now, or we may end up having to surrender and say I can't do
anything further. And speaking not for -- only for myself, but the court reporter who is going
to -- may need to be refueled as well, and some of us up here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Thirty minutes?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: What do you want to do at this point?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: May I suggest 30 minutes for all parties?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, here's one thing I need to know from staff. This cafeteria,
it's closed now, isn't it? They close at some point. Maybe 2.
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, zoning director.
I believe they're open till 2 in terms of serving food.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Does anyone here know the answer to that question?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No, because I brought my lunch.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I didn't. All right. Well, let's do this. And Mr. Mulhere,
without objection from you, sir, at least this will give you the continuity.
MR. MULHERE: We'd much prefer to have a happy chairman.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, okay. All right. It seems to be the consensus that -- go
ahead, Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I've got a problem, because I misjudged, and I
thought that this would not go past 2, so I've got to leave, and I don't want to screw up a quorum for
you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, we'd still have a quorum of five, and --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Klucik's okay?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And it's still okay because we've got four people physically
present.
COMMISISONER VERNON: Okay. Great.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So that won't screw anything up, except we'll lose your wisdom.
COMMISISONER VERNON: Well, I'm really leaving because I don't like losing, so I'm
taking my ball and going home.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. And that's okay with you, Mr. Mulhere?
MR. MULHERE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So let's -- we're going to go in recess, a lunch recess, until
2 p.m. That's, what, 38 minutes?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thirty-seven and a half.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And we're in recess.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: In my case, matters of public record, meetings with staff,
communications with the applicant's agent.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I had a video conference with Bob Mulhere, and I did
speak to Russ Weyer about some questions I had. And just for the record, I do know Mr. Saadeh,
who is the owner of the property. I mean, I've known Mr. Saadeh for years when he was in the
Vineyards, so I -- just for the record, I do know him.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Well, we still have a quorum.
MR. MULHERE: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We've got him? Okay. So Mr. Klucik is present.
So with that, turn the floor over to Mr. Mulhere.
MR. MULHERE: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, members of the Planning Commission.
For the record, my name is Bob Mulhere representing the applicant, GMA Advisors, LLC.
My client is Michel Saadeh, who's sitting here right behind me. I will mention that, I don't know,
quite a few years ago he was a member of this august and esteemed body.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes, he was.
MR. MULHERE: Norm Trebilcock, who sent Gavin Jones here, whom I don't see, did
the transportation analysis. I'm sure he'll be back. Maybe he was, you know, late getting back
from lunch.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: He's here, yep.
MR. MULHERE: And we had Nicholas Pearson from Turrell, Hall & Associates do the
native vegetation environmental analysis. There really are no issues. I don't believe he's here.
And Jeremy works with me, and he's not here today. No sense double-billing the applicant.
MR. SAADEH: Thank you.
MR. MULHERE: So the subject property is outlined before you on the visualizer. I do
want to point out that I saw that most of the exhibits had changed, but there was still one exhibit
that showed a portion of the project -- here it is right here -- a portion of the project. Right here is
basically part of this parcel, but it is -- it was -- it was never conveyed to the county but, of course,
the county owned this parcel. So going through the process, the GMP excludes that strip that's
part of this process, the legal description excludes it. So what you see before you is the actual
geographic area that's the subject of these two petitions.
And although there may have been one or two exhibits in the staff report, which we had
revised that show that, I just want to make it clear for the record that's not part of the application.
This is a wider aerial.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to have to interrupt you for a moment, Mr. Mulhere,
with apologies.
MR. MULHERE: That's all right.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: This has to do with the last project. I have a reference that on
Page 8 of 9 of the staff report in the last project that no EAC review is required -- was required. Is

that -- am I wrong?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: The staff report identifies there was. I had a note, and I
failed to include that in my motion.
MR. BOSI: Yes. That -- Mike Bosi, zoning director. That's on me. I failed to mention
it to you. I did get an IM from Ms. Cook that EAC was required.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, that -- then that contradicts what was in the staff
report.
So, County Attorney, can we reopen that and vote? What do we do?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: As to the EAC?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: You don't have everybody here, do you? Well, you can do it
with the group that you have.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We've got a quorum.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah. You can go ahead and take a vote on that one as well.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. I'd entertain a motion that -- and this goes back to the
last matter, and I'd entertain a motion to approve it sitting as the EAC.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can I ask a question?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: We voted on it. How does that affect our vote? Can you
vote against the petition and for this, or do you have to -- is there an inconsistency?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: You're the same board, but you're actually sitting as two boards.
So you're sitting as the Planning Commission, the land planning agency, which you already took
the vote on, and you're also sitting as the Environmental Advisory Committee, which is a separate
board.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: You can vote from the environmental side for it, but against
the petition?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We can do whatever we want, pretty much.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: In spite of what Mr. Yovanovich says.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I'm being a lawyer now.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's all right. I'm not being an engineer, though.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Just as clarification, we don't have Mr. Vernon. Does
that -- and he voted originally.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. I need to make that record.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah, that's okay. We'll just reflect that in the minutes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. The record will show that Mr. Vernon had to leave before
our lunch break, so we are at a quorum with four physically present and one on the phone.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And I second the motion with the statement that all
environmental concerns have to be met either through the state or through the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Any further discussion?

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Mulhere.
MR. MULHERE: That's all right. No problem. I'm glad someone figured that one out.
So this --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman did.
MR. MULHERE: This aerial that's on the visualizer right now shows a larger perspective
to -- the subject property is right here, and to the west is Wilson. You go around the Immokalee
curve here, and you have the Immokalee Curve PUD and the BCHDI -- or 1 PUD, which is up in
this area.
This is Orangetree PUD which is developed with a small Publix and a CVS and a few other
commercial uses. Further to the east is Orange Blossom Ranch, which also has just received
approval for almost a 12-acre site for another Publix because this one is undersized. So it's just
down the road, but there will be two Publixes there.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Bob, while you've got this up, I'll interrupt. At that -- the
PUD to the north, where it's showing, of course, land is cleared.
MR. MULHERE: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is that now going to be converted to residential?
MR. MULHERE: I believe -- these are both mixed-use, but I believe what you see there
will be commercial.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Will be commercial, okay.
MR. MULHERE: Yeah. I could be wrong, but I do know that -- for example, I'll just tell
you, Randall Curve allows up to 150,000 square feet of commercial retail.
MR. BOSI: And they are developing a multifamily facility at the Randall Curve PUD.
MR. MULHERE: So it is mixed use?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It is mixed use. So it's going to be multifamily?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
MR. MULHERE: And the Barron Collier BCHD1 is approved for up to 230,000 square
feet of commercial. So I'm going to go over those as part of my presentation.
I did -- let's see. Was there something else I wanted to point out? I think that's about it.
We can go back to this if necessary.
So we're asking for two companion petitions, a Small-Scale Growth Management Plan
amendment to allow up to 150,000 square feet of C-3 commercial intermediate uses. You know,
that's basically your neighborhood commercial designation, and -- of which up to 80,000 may be
self-storage, and a PUD is the companion item.
I do want to talk a little bit about the history here. The center parcel -- and I'll just go back
to that aerial real quick. This parcel right here is the subject known -- it's a stormwater pond,
county stormwater pond, for drainage from Immokalee Road. There was an agreement approved
by the Board between this applicant and the county to allow for a swap of this parcel right here,
which is a little bit larger than three acres, to this parcel here, which is larger -- a little bit larger
than five acres.
As part of that agreement, the applicant is required to construct a wet detention pond on
that new parcel to the south, adjacent to the canal and to extend the pipes -- there's pipes that go
under Immokalee Road from that canal on the other side of Immokalee Road -- to extend those to
deliver that stormwater to that new location. That's all at Mr. Saadeh's cost. It's no insignificant
cost.
I will point out that while that's not part of your consideration for a rezone, at the time that
that agreement was approved, it was certainly known that the applicant didn't enter into this
agreement with the idea of developing one single-family Estate lot on that swap parcel, considering
the cost and the location.
This graphic shows you, you know, here's the canal on the other side. The water runs
down. Here, right now, it connects to this dry retention area right here but will be piped down to
this new larger wet retention area. The county originally initiated a discussion about the swap, and

it went on -- I don't know. It took quite a while to get to the point where it was approved. And I
think the county appreciated the fact that they had greater capacity in the new pond area than they
do in the existing one.
And, again, digging the pond and extending the pipes is Mr. Saadeh's responsibility. Did
you want to come up and say anything? I apologize. I was going to introduce you.
MR. SAADEH: Good afternoon, Commissioners. My name is Michel Saadeh for the
record. I've been a full-time resident of Collier County for over 38 years. Where Commissioner
Schmitt and I know each other was back when I was the former CEO of Vineyards Development
Corporation. So we've developed multiple sites in Naples over the last 38 years.
This property -- this came about very quickly about -- very casual discussions with county
staff about the expansion of Immokalee Road and their need not just for extra retention for the
county, but the county needed a discharge point which they didn't have.
So I own the parcels south of where the pond is drawn now. It's over five acres, and the
county parcel is just shy of three acres with the easements that are taken out.
So we offered to make the swap, and then the county came back and renegotiated the wet
retention. We offered to make the swap and give them discharge on the area, and then they said,
while you're at it, if you throw in the wet retention, it's a no-brainer, and we'll all go for it, so that's
how the whole deal came about.
So we took it back to the Board. The Board approved the swap. And once this is
concluded, we will turn over five acres after the improvements are done and the utilities are run to
that site. And, again, the most important thing, other than the size -- almost doubling the size of
the county property, we're giving them a discharge into the canal that the county didn't have.
And that's not direly needed today, but it's direly needed when they start the expansion of
Immokalee Road and want to expand the road and so forth, and that's going to alleviate some of the
transportation problems that you've been hearing about.
And thank you for your time.
MR. MULHERE: So just to specify, that discharge is depicted here into this canal. So
that -- you know, they didn't have a discharge from there, so now we will; right here.
This is the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is outlined in -- it looks like
purple to me or blue, and surrounded by -- predominately surrounded by Golden Gate Estates
zoning.
The other chunk of light tan colored is the settlement area, the -- you know, when you
drive out towards Immokalee and you go past where Orange Blossom Ranch and some other
development -- significant amount of development -- I think this is four sections of land. It was a
settlement between the state and the landowner probably in the '70s. Quite a while ago.
This exhibit shows the zoning and also shows the nearby commercial zoning. We have a
small PUD here and here. There is a comprehensive -- excuse me -- a Growth Management
subdistrict that runs along here and includes about 360,000 square feet total of commercial, but that
hasn't gone through the zoning yet. You can see that most of that is still zoned Estates.
Over here is commercial portions of Orangetree, and then a little bit further to the east is
Orange Blossom Ranch, you have the Randall Curve, and north of that, BCHD PUD.
This is the county's PUD map. It shows you a little wider depiction of this area. BCHD
CPUD, Randall Curve MPUD, and if I had looked at that, I would have known it was mixed use,
and the subject property's right here in these two smaller PUDs.
And this is the PUD master plan. As I mentioned, it does not include this piece in the
middle that extends into the county's right-of-way.
This is the TIS. The p.m. peak-hour trips are calculated at 389 p.m. peak hour two-way
trips.
I do want to spend just a couple of minutes talking about the needs analysis. Russ Weyer
is here, and he will probably have to answer any detailed questions. I know there are some, but I
do want to talk just a few minutes on the data and analysis that's required.

And before I go to that, just let me mention, I know you've heard this before, but I want to
reiterate that other than maybe a regional attraction, commercial zoning doesn't generate new trips.
No one is going to drive here from Marco Island to go to a fast food or to a retail store unless
they're driving by. It doesn't generate new trips. It changes the driving pattern of the people that
live in that area who had to take different routes before there was commercial opportunities and can
now utilize the new commercial that gets approved. So I just want to reiterate. I know there's
been a lot of discussion about growth. Commercial, unless it's regional or a big attraction, does
not generate new trips. It does change traffic patterns.
I want to talk for a minute about Growth Management Plan amendment -- this is a
small-scale amendment; it's under 50 acres -- and the statute, state statute and what's required.
So Chapter 163.3177, required in optional elements of the Comprehensive Plan studies and
surveys. Comprehensive Plan shall provide the principles, guidelines, standards, and strategies for
the orderly balance, future economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal development of
the area that reflects the community commitments to implement the plan and its elements.
All mandatory and optional elements of the Comprehensive Plan shall be based upon
relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government. Data must be taken from
professionally accepted sources, the application of the methodology utilized in data collection, or
whether a particular methodology is professionally accepted may be evaluated; however, the
evaluation may not include whether one accepted methodology is better than another. It's right
from the statute.
Then we talk about what are the considerations that we have to address and that staff
would evaluate and that you have to evaluate as it relates to a -- in this case, again, a Small-Scale
Comprehensive Plan amendment.
The Future Land Use Plan and plan amendment shall be based on surveys, studies, and
data regarding the area as applicable, including the amount of land required to accommodate
anticipated growth, the permanent -- the projected permanent and seasonal population of the area.
These are not weighted. These are individual criterias.
The character of the undeveloped land, the availability of public services; water, sewer,
and so on.
The need for redevelopment, including renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community. That really
doesn't apply here.
The discouragement of urban sprawl. To me that does apply here, and I'll discuss that just
a little bit further.
The need to modify land uses and development patterns within an antiquated subdivision.
So Golden Gate Estates is considered an antiquated subdivision. That's not a derogatory comment.
It's simply a fact. Why is that the case? Because it was approved and developed many years ago
with very low density, single-family development, one unit per two-and-a-quarter acres with no
services. No services.
So we've seen a change in that over time. It's been slow, but it has occurred. And this
area, although not specifically designated as such, in this area I think this area functions now more
as an activity center, mixed-use activity center, than what it was originally proposed to be.
Don't forget you have thousands of homes in that settlement area which is immediately
north and east of this project, and thousands of Golden Gate Estate lots.
So by providing other uses other than low-density, single-family, one lot per
two-and-a-quarter acres, that the nearby residents and motoring traffic passing by can avail
themselves of is a retroactive change which reduces the impact of sprawl, one impact anyway.
What is one impact of sprawl? All those people had to drive west to get any services. They used
to all shop at Pebblebrooke. Now they have a Publix. That Publix isn't big enough, so now
they're building another Publix.
So things are changing, and that is changing the way people drive. There's also
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 76 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 71 of 102
employment opportunities that can be associated with nonresidential uses. So there are big
benefits to this.
I want to just point out one other -- can you put that on the visualizer?
So this is from the preliminary intersection improvement analysis that was done and
planned that was done for the intersection of Randall -- sorry -- for the intersection of Randall and
Immokalee, which you know is basically a T intersection.
The plan on the left is the preferred alternative Phase 1 which has, you know, triple lefts
coming out of Randall onto Immokalee, and at this point it looks like just a single right turn
heading out of Randall if you want to head east on Immokalee, and you can see that there were
some special designs that had to occur to provide access to the commercial properties that are south
of this -- of Randall because, you know, obviously, the county doesn't want to have a bunch of
access points on this new widened Randall Road. So access comes primarily -- primarily from the
signalization at 8th and Randall, which is just east of here.
And there is, again, a pretty significant commercial PUD that runs east and west in this
area that will benefit from that signal.
But the second preferred alternative is Phase 2, which calls for a flyover, and I think you
can see on the visualizer the -- you know, by the shading that they've provided that that's going to
be an elevated three-lane roadway for -- this is basically sort of almost sort of south but moving
into westbound traffic from Randall heading west on Immokalee Road towards the urban area.
And there will be right turns, and other turning movements will be at grade along
Immokalee, but this -- this elevated section will allow free-flowing traffic heading west from
Randall down Immokalee and, also, there are at least double rights heading eastbound on
Immokalee to access Randall, and you can see that, and then there's some through lanes, and then
there's some intersection turn lanes that are, you know, to the left. There's 4th Street Northeast.
It's a little shaded, but it's right where that proposed signal is.
I raise this because, ultimately -- and you can see that this elevated roadway goes beyond
the perimeter to the west of this exhibit and extends in an elevated but coming-down-to-grade
fashion in and around the subject property.
And so we're going to have a major intersection with an elevated roadway with numerous
through, right- and left-turn lanes adjacent -- and the subject property is adjacent to the canal and
commercial. And so the question is -- and it's part of the evaluation in my opinion -- is this really
appropriate for single-family homes? I don't think so.
Now, let's talk about the amount of commercial that Russ can answer specific questions on.
I think it's in and around 4 million square feet in a five-mile radius.
You know, I've looked at some of those PUDs. Things do change. Let's talk about the
one that was the subject of your previous petition, the Immokalee Road Rural Village. I guess it's
basically a subdistrict, GMP area.
They have a choice there. They can come in and do a village, or they can just do a
residential development. Now, as far as I know -- I'm not working on that project. I do not know
if they've made a choice. But if they don't develop a village, and come in for a 2,000-unit
residential development, that's 363,000 square feet that will not get built.
Things change. That's why you have more commercial square footage than you may think
you need or that is acuented [sic] by any study.
Orange Blossom Ranch to the east just recently amended that PUD to eliminate some
commercial square footage and has now, I believe, an approved SDP for a 400-unit apartment.
They also have an approved SDP for the Publix that I talked about. That's 65,000 square feet, that
SDP. So there's about nine acres that's undeveloped that could be developed for commercial in
that project.
They have 230,000 -- I'm not sure. I've got to -- I've got to look at my notes here.
Orange Blossom Ranch has 200,000 square feet approved. They've just taken a big chunk of that
out because they're building multifamily. Is 200,000 square feet going to get approved
5.A.a

out -- developed out there? No, not unless they do self-storage or multistory office. Don't see a
market for that. Don't think that's going to get built. So you have 200,000 square feet. They
might build 150-.
I talked about the subdistrict. Let's see if I can find it. Well, this is probably as good an
exhibit as any. Let me go back -- yeah, thank you.
So there is a subdistrict that exists right here and here, and that subdistrict, which fronts
on -- I'm sorry. It goes this way. It goes this way. I apologize -- fronts on Randall presently
allow -- and, again, they haven't gone through the zoning for most of it. It's still zoned Estates.
We're working with Mike Bosi and the county to amend their Growth Management Plan to allow
for residential -- to allow for mixed use to allow for residential -- multifamily residential there.
Now, I'm not prejudging that application. You'll see it, and the Board will see it. But if it
gets approved, a portion of that's going to be developed with residential, which is going to reduce
the 300- and I think 60,000 square feet of commercial that presently is counted in the market study
for that.
So, again, if you add that up, right there that's 6-, 700,000 square feet. I'd venture to say
that most projects -- most projects don't net out more -- we use 10,000 square feet as a rule of
thumb for development area for neighborhood commercial. What drives that number? Area you
have to dedicate to stormwater, area you have to dedicate to buffers -- landscape buffers and open
space, and parking. So, really, it depends on the mix of the use. Most smaller commercial
projects do not net 10,000 square feet per acre. They net 8-, 8500.
So I understand that there's a perception that there's a lot of commercial out there, and
there's certainly a lot of commercial that could go there, but not all of it will go there.
And I would urge you to look at other factors that should be considered on a Small-Scale
Comprehensive Plan amendment, including the appropriateness of the existing use, compatibility
of the proposed use, the potential reduction of the negative impacts of sprawling, low-density,
single-family development by introducing other uses to the area. I think all of these are
considerations. And, again, they're not weighted. That's your job.
I will say that the staff, although they raised issues with Russ's report -- and he can speak to
that himself, and I hope, you know, that the questions will generate that response. I will say that
there's a recommendation of approval both from Comprehensive Planning staff and from the
Zoning staff.
So we have a recommendation of approval. I believe we've justified the request, and now
we stand open to answer any questions that you may have.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. You have a -- you have a recommendation of
approval subject to a condition that --
MR. MULHERE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- I take it you are or you're not willing to --
MR. MULHERE: Oh, that's -- I'm glad you raised that issue.
The answer is probably. I just want to point out a few things. Let me get to the -- go
back to the master plan. I just want to point out a few things. You can see that there is a Tract B
here that runs down the west side and the south side, and that is, on average, 50 feet, slightly more
in some areas, and that is the retained native vegetation buffer Tract B down here on the south side.
We agreed after removal of exotic vegetation -- let me go to the aerial, because it's a little
easier to -- if I can find it -- after removal of exotic vegetation in this area here to replant with
native vegetation at the time of Site Development Plan sufficient to achieve opacity at 80 percent
within one year. What does that mean? Well, that means you have to put in pretty large native
plants such that within one year of planting, they achieve 80 percent opacity, and the policy
objective is that they'll be 100 percent opaque within two years. So we agreed to do that.
That is not inexpensive. You can see there will be a need -- this is mostly slash pines.
After we remove the exotics, there will be a need to significantly plant within this area to achieve
that 80 percent opacity within --

CHAIRMAN FRYER: But looking through the materials that were on CityView, I find
that early on your proposal had included a commitment to build an 8-foot wall.
MR. MULHERE: It may have, but I think after we were asked to do the re-plantings, we
then said, well, we shouldn't have to do both because -- and I'm going to get to that right now -- is
if we do a wall -- which the staff didn't recommend an 8-foot wall. They just recommended a
wall, an opaque wall. And, you know, that wall could be placed on a berm that's going to be, you
know, 12 or 18 inches as part of the stormwater, and you'll achieve, I think, sufficient opacity.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But eight feet was your number, your client's number.
MR. MULHERE: Originally, because we weren't planning on having to replant. But,
you know, you have to balance those costs. So -- and I think we were -- you know, we acquiesced
to the replanting in lieu of the wall. But having said that --
MR. SAADEH: Can I say something?
MR. MULHERE: Yeah, go ahead.
MR. SAADEH: Commissioners, again, my name's Michel Saadeh, for the record.
The swap agreement has evolved quite a bit from the first meeting we had with the county
senior staff till the time that it was presented to the Board of County Commissioners. So there was
a lot of variables onto what we'll agree to, what not.
The very last moment, the swap was not -- was not intended to have a wet storage. We
offered to build the improvements, put the drainage lines in along property line, bring them out to a
discharge point, and that was an expense north of $600,000. And then when the -- when we
agreed to the wet storage and digging up the pond, that number went up north of $1.8 million.
So this project has evolved quite a bit over a three-acre parcel of land that was exchanged
with five and all the other expenses that came with it.
So, you know, during that process, that's when the eight came up, and then the eight
disappeared, and we said, okay, we'll replant whatever we need to replant, and that was it.
So, you know, we can work on it one way or the other. We can have a -- you know, the
staff is not asking for an 8-foot fence right now. They're asking for five, I think.
MR. MULHERE: Five or six.
MR. SAADEH: Five or six. But the recommendation is if we -- you know, the
discussions were if you would do that, then we wouldn't request of you to plant. So that's -- that's
the last thing we were at.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You understand --
MR. MULHERE: What I wanted to say -- go ahead. I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You understand, sir, that this matter is not at present before staff;
it's before the Planning Commission?
MR. SAADEH: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Correct.
MR. SAADEH: Yes.
MR. MULHERE: Now, Mr. Chairman, what I wanted to say was the only reason, you
don't have to replant in any native preservation area. You clear the exotics, and you let the native
vegetation grow back in the normal way that it would. You might, through some agencies, have
some mitigation or restoration. I don't think that's going to be the case here. We don't have
wetlands on the site.
So I guess what our position is, we'll still have that 50-foot buffer. We'll still go in and
clear the exotics. And I would suggest if we are required to put a wall up, that it be a 6-foot wall
on top of the berm. We haven't gone through the Water Management District, but there will be a
berm because we have to hold the water on the site as it's treated, and that we not be required to
replant to achieve opacity when you're not going to see that from those lots south of us because
there's going to be a wall blocking your view of that.
Now, I could see maybe having that fence be erected say, you know, 10 feet or five feet off
the south property line so that there's access for maintenance purposes to the landowner.

So in answer to your question -- and also, one last thing, we don't think a wall is necessary
adjacent to a wet detention pond that's going to be owned by the county. It will probably be
fenced, but it doesn't have to be an opaque wall. I mean, that would be up to the county if they are
worried about liability issues.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No one else is signaling at this time, so I'm going to ask a few
questions, if I may.
MR. MULHERE: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You quoted from Florida Statute Section 163.3177.
MR. MULHERE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Sub 6, Sub (a)2, and that -- that list of bullets or --
MR. MULHERE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- lowercase --
MR. MULHERE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- numbers, included the need for redevelopment, the need for job
creation, the need to modify. How would you characterize those points in that statute?
MR. MULHERE: I mean, they're all part -- they're all part of your consideration.
They're all part of what we have to demonstrate would make this request appropriate. I don't -- I
looked at it. They're not weighted whatsoever. There's no -- there's no indication that your
commercial needs analysis, you know, becomes the sole reason for denying this application. It
certainly is a consideration. I don't disagree with that. It is. That's why we did it.
I mean, I think that Russ probably, you know, has some things to share with respect to
some of the staff findings that I think will be enlightening for you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And so I think you used the words, but isn't it fair to
characterize this portion of the statute as calling for a needs analysis?
MR. MULHERE: It calls for data. It doesn't necessarily spe- -- it does talk about the
need for the change, yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But you referred to it a moment ago as a needs analysis.
MR. MULHERE: That's what the county calls it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. All right. And that's kind of how I see it as well.
MR. MULHERE: Yeah, I agree.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
I've got some more questions to go through.
MR. MULHERE: Do you want me to ask Russ to come up? Because I don't want to
answer -- you know, it's his professional product if there are questions on the needs analysis.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, you certainly can. I expect my questions may mature
somewhat after I hear from staff.
MR. MULHERE: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And so I sort of decided to hold some of these specific questions
until the time of rebuttal.
MR. MULHERE: Makes sense. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Who else did you want to bring forward, sir?
MR. MULHERE: I mean, that concludes our presentation. We do want to respond to
any questions that you-all may have and certainly would like to be able to rebut after -- you know,
after staff and any public speakers.
There was -- I do want to point out we did notice there was one, you know, letter of
objection, and I think this gentleman also reached out to us because -- I don't think he was at the
NIM, but I think maybe we provided him a link. I could be wrong. I just want to point out that
property is right here, which is across this substantial arterial roadway from the subject property.
Canal, roadway, roadway going to be widened. And I forgot to mention, obviously we do have to
do a turn lane into this project.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Vice Chairman?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I do have a question. I'm looking for the item in
the staff report that talked about the square footage. I think it would be valuable for Russ at least
to review that, because the staff report -- and that was a question I was going to ask staff.
The staff report seems to imply that there's enough sufficient -- or there's sufficient
commercial square footage out there, and this only adds to the already unused inventory. It seems
to imply that this is more than we need. I'm looking for that portion in the staff report. That's
why I'm thumbing through this. I had it, and then I closed it. It was one of the bullet points there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Page 714 of the staff -- of the packet, the agenda packet.
MR. MULHERE: Well, I have it, if you can give me a second. What page?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, it actually starts 708, 709.
MR. MULHERE: Okay, 708, 709.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And it continues on. But you're exactly right, Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You said 708?
MR. MULHERE: But I would repeat -- I have to repeat, while they may have raised those
issues, they also recommended approval.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, they recommended approval, but there was a -- and
I had it highlighted, and it's just difficult to see it for some reason.
MR. BOSI: It's page -- Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. It's Page 4 and 5 of the

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Page --
MR. BOSI: Four and 5 of the staff report. Fourth and fifth page of the staff report.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I mean, the fact of the matter is --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: 485 is --
MR. BOSI: Page 472, 471 and 472.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chair, the way you explained it is exactly correct. That's
what the staff report says.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I was just going to read the numbers.
MR. MULHERE: I don't see that here. Oh, in the staff report, sorry. Well, I'll just flip
to it in case you have to -- there you go.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You said 475?
MR. BOSI: 471, 472. Page 4 and 5 of the staff report.
MR. BELLOWS: Make sure you're on the GMD.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. It is. It's at the top of page -- let me get --
MR. WEYER: 473.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I've got the quote right here if you want me to read it.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'll read it there in a minute. I want to make sure we're at
the right page. It's at the top of Page 473. It's Page 6 of the staff report, but it's 473, packet.
And it says, based on the existing commercial square footage allowed by the FLUM, the
commercial demand is met throughout -- through the 2033 10-year planning horizon. The
documentation provided identified the need for 8,834,211 square feet in 2033, which is less than
the 4,106,891 square feet currently allowed.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Three million.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Three million.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: You said 8 million.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, three million 834-. Thank you.
The commercial square footage currently allowed is 50 percent greater or, in paren,
approximately 1.9 million square feet than is currently developed in the market area. So that
sentence seems to imply that what's being proposed exceeds what's really needed.
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
On a gross, just, allocation of square footage that's approved. This isn't built. This is

approved within the GMP or within a PUD. There's 4.1. There is adequate.
They did include an allocation ratio which was an evaluation of the existing subdistricts
that allow for commercial development as well as existing PUDs that allow for commercial
development that went through and analyzed whether those square footage -- square footages
allowed could be realized.
A good example would be the 375,000 square feet that's allowed within the Randall Curve
subdistrict which starts to the -- which starts to the east of the developments that are on the east
side of the canal. That's 375,000 square feet in the GMP approved. It's never been acted upon.
There currently have -- there's currently a GMP application to amend that to introduce residential.
The likelihood of 375,000 square feet of that being developed is relatively low.
What they did -- staff just looks at the gross area.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: We just look at the gross area, and the gross area is sufficient. They looked
at the allocation per individual subdistrict or PUD and made an evaluation as to what they thought
could actually be developed. And with that, that would suggest that there is more of a need than
what the gross square footage allowed would suggest.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, my point is, I look at this as the risk is all on the
developer. If they think the need is there, they take the risk, they spend the money, and they go
through the process. And if it sits empty, I mean, that's the business decision.
I understand staff, but what I just heard you say is, well, yes, this is what our documents
say. This is what it looks like when you consider everything in the GMP now, and -- but it's never
going to be that, so the end result is you recommended approval.
MR. BOSI: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But you're not suggesting that we should speculate on how much
of what is currently permitted for commercial is actually going to be zoned commercial, should
we?
MR. BOSI: That is -- I think from a market research analysis, a professional such as Russ
Weyer in his capacity, that's exactly what he does.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That may be what he does, but it's my understanding that the
Collier County program for analyzing supply of commercial looks at what the property is zoned
for, not the likelihood of how it's actually going to be used; am I correct?
MR. BOSI: We do not provide the likelihood of the realization of in any one PUD or any
one subdistrict that allows for commercial. That's why -- that's why the submittal that was
provided provided for a more detailed analysis than what we would look at from a staff
perspective. We just look at gross square footage.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: More detail but, really, I think at war with the standards of the
county. And from my point of view, if we were to say, well, the likelihood is 50 percent that this
property that is already zoned commercial is going to become actually commercial, I mean, that's
pulling things out of the air, and I would prefer to go with the way that the county looks at it, which
is what is currently zoned for commercial and not try to read tea leaves about how things
are -- what rezones are going to be requested in the future.
MR. BOSI: It's not just zoned. It's allocated within the GMP as well.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Which is even more important.
MR. BOSI: Which is even farther away from a development schedule.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
MR. BOSI: So it does count a gross area -- a gross square footage total that is not
sometimes -- there's validity within questioning whether that square footage will be realized, but
we don't do that in terms of our analysis.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Right. And I don't think we should do it as a Planning

Commission either for the same reason, because I believe it gets you into speculation.
All right. You've been interrupted.
MR. WEYER: That's okay. For the record, Russ Weyer from Real Estate Econometrics.
Mr. Schmitt, I believe your question was answered in terms of what the differences were.
A little bit of explanation. When we do the analysis, the first thing we look for is the
demand, and we get into much more of a demand than the actual county does. I take a specific
area. I look at the amount of commercial that has been built. I look at the current population.
And that's basically what the demand is at that point.
If you're talking about -- Mr. Fryer, talking about the county, then let's talk about the
county demand, because in this case, the demand for commercial is 58-something square feet per
person. In the county, it's closer to 78. And if you look at the -- when we do the CIGM analysis,
it was closer to 100 across the county.
So, consequently, we look at it in more detail. That's the reason for that.
So the demand is lower in this area, and that's what we're using on the -- going forward.
That could be raised, and that would solve your $4 million -- or 4 million -- 4 million square feet
analysis.
However, if you look at the history -- for instance, when the property just to the north was
approved, it had -- what is it, 300 -- what did you say, it was 200-and-some-odd square feet, Bob?
Three hundred square feet -- 300,000 square feet. They're building apartments on there now on
half of it. They're building apartments over on Orange Blossom. Randall, that one will never be
developed to that point, to that 300-and-some-odd-thousand square feet.
So, consequently, it's not always built full commercial. It will -- and especially here in
Collier County where we have the needs for affordable housing, and apartments seemed to be
filling that void. People are converting it.
So, consequently, if you want to look at the full 400-, and then I can increase the demand
on it and say it will be there, if I use the county averages.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Your approach, though, differs from the county approach, doesn't
it?
MR. WEYER: My approach in terms -- well, I'm not sure what they're using in terms
of -- because I did not know what they are using in terms of demand.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I'll talking about supply.
MR. WEYER: Supply.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Demand is easier to establish. Let's talk about supply.
MR. WEYER: My supply, I -- if you look at my tables, I'm using that 4 million, and what
I'm saying is the demand is saying this. So the allocation ratio of -- usually at the county -- and
this isn't the first time I've used the allocation ratio. I've used it over the past few years in all of
my studies I do. The two across the street, I used the allocation ratio.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to interrupt you if I may, sir.
MR. WEYER: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I've been a student of your materials for several years now, and
there is a couple of pages that I won't -- it sounds pejorative to say cut and paste, but it's stuff that
finds its way -- the exact language, it finds its way into your expertized materials.
And I'm going to read some of what you wrote. You said, it is at this point of the analysis
that has caused an anomaly in determining a true economic supply-and-demand result. On the
supply side, it is relatively easy to determine the amount of existing and approved supply from the
property appraisal data. The difficulty lies in the vacant non-approved potential sites, commercial
sites.
Collier County staff requires the applicant to take all of those lands that have a commercial
overlay on them and include them as supply by putting a floor area ratio figure to that acre. Those
are your words, correct?
MR. WEYER: Correct.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. And this is not -- and that's not the analysis that you
proceed with, is it?
MR. WEYER: It is the -- and that's what I did with the commercial ones, and that's the
part of the PUDs that have the commercial overlays on them.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But you don't -- you don't include land that is zoned commercial.
You're wanting to look at land that is either up and running as commercial or perhaps has a -- has
started construction or much farther along the line than lands that are just simply available for
commercial.
MR. WEYER: On the demand side. On the supply side I did include vacant
commercials in there, regular commercial that's been built is in there, and all the PUD square
footages are in there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, but then -- okay. So then the staff report, as the vice
chairman read, said based on the existing square footage allowed by the FLUM, the commercial
demand is met through the 2033 planning horizon. That's what's in the staff report. Do you agree
with that?
MR. WEYER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You do disagree with it?
MR. WEYER: The demand -- right now the demand -- well, what you're saying on is on
the blank supply side, the 4 million square feet?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I just -- with respect to what I read, do you agree or disagree with
it?
MR. MULHERE: We disagree, and we disagree because there are changing conditions,
and we just named several of them, and there will be more changing conditions.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, I just wanted to establish that your expert and staff
are coming at this from different angles and come to different conclusions.
MR. MULHERE: So at 4 million, you know, was a number that was deemed to be more
than adequate, and we said, well, 700,000 of that's not getting built. Now, that's speculative, I
grant you, but that is a changing condition that reduces the inventory -- potential inventory of
commercial use, and we know that's going to continue. And then I would reiterate, again, that
there are other reasons to look at this application.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, yes, there are. The -- basically, sir, you're asking us to
consider the possibility that some square footage that's currently zoned commercial may not
develop, and I think --
MR. MULHERE: In reality in some parts.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, and I think Mr. Mulhere just used the exact word. It would
be speculation for us to weigh in either way on that, and that's why when we look at what's
available commercially, we look at present zoning and, as Ms. Eastley has pointed out in her staff
report quite accurately, based on the existing commercial square footage allowed by the FLUM, the
commercial demand is met through the 2033 planning horizon.
MR. MULHERE: And that's fine. We just -- we disagree that there's not adequate
support for this.
Now, let me just say, some of this is somewhat speculative. And I just gave you the
example of Immokalee Road Rural Village, which has 375,000 square feet of commercial uses,
commercial and light industrial uses. Again, if it comes in for a village, they may build all of that
or some of that. If they come in for residential, they'll build zero. I don't know the answer to that.
So in that sense, I agree with you; I can't guarantee that one or the other is the case.
I can tell you that there are projects where we know they're not building the same amount
of commercial, Orange Blossom Ranch is one of them, because they just got approved for an
apartment -- 400-unit apartment on 12 or 13 acres of what was designated commercial.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But they're off the roster now of commercial.
MR. MULHERE: They're not. They're not. That was included both in the staff and
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 84 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 79 of 102
Russ's analysis. That total 200,000 square feet was included. That's not what's going to get built.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's clear to me --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Also, on the -- in the expert report, you're using persons
per household of 2.9 which, as Ms. Eastley correctly identifies in her staff report, that
exceeds -- and I'm quoting. She says it exceeds the U.S. Department -- exceeds the U.S. Census
which utilizes 2.4 persons per household, and it also exceeds the work that has been done by the
Bureau of Economic and Business Research, Department of University of Florida, which is
commonly called BEBR. And I don't -- I'm not absolutely opposed to departing from BEBR and
the Census, but I think you need to have concrete reasons such as if you're basing your justification
for departing from those standards, which are objective, they're not -- they're not based upon
somebody's advocacy, I think you need to give us reasons. Like vacancies, for instance, would be
a reason.
And when I looked through your report, which I looked through carefully, I didn't see any
justification for using the 2.9 number, which is considerable higher than BEBR and also eons
higher, solar systems higher than what developers come in when they're applying for residential
units.
We had a developer come in and argue to us that multifamily dwelling units in Eastern
Collier County, that the PPH is 1.05, which I think is totally implausible.
So, you know, it seems to me PPH for a particular area -- it can be adjusted based upon
facts like vacancies, but it's a number that exists regardless of whether the applicant is arguing for
residential or commercial, and we ought to choose one and stick with it and then hear reasons why
that number should be varied from. But you just come out with the 2.9 which I think -- and asks
us to accept it, and we're the same group that heard the 1.05 on a residential development.
MR. WEYER: Commissioner Fryer, I know we've gone back and forth a lot about
persons per household. Persons per household was not used in any calculations in this report.
The reason it was in there was because I utilized the Esri data that you see in the report.
And they talk about population, they talk about households, and they calculated it at 3.9, and
that's --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: 2.9.
MR. WEYER: -- U.S. Census. I'm sorry, 2.9, because it's usually 2.39 is the county
average -- that's the average. If you remember that map I gave you a couple years ago, that
showed that the 2.39 is the county average; however, we're looking at micro areas. This is looking
at a five-mile area.
MR. MULHERE: Tell them what Esri is.
MR. WEYER: Oh, Esri is the -- that's my database that -- I'm sorry. I use a business
analyst online that uses geographic --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I know. And you've --
MR. WEYER: You know what Esri is.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- used it many times before, and I accept that.
MR. WEYER: Yes, yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But just because it was propagated by Esri or some other group
does not make it beyond challenge, and --
MR. WEYER: I totally understand. And sorry -- not to interrupt.
First of all, it wasn't used in any calculations. It was there, and when I used the one
sentence in my report that talked about it was to show that the persons per household are actually
going to decline a little bit when you have, like, Sky Sail and Rivergrass and those where you're
going to have retirees and that sort of thing at those price ranges. So it's going to bring it down a
little bit.
And if you remember our discussion, we talked about the way the county is. I'm looking
at a micro area. I'm not looking at a county average. If I want to use the county average, I want
to use the 100 --

CHAIRMAN FRYER: For the court reporter, please slow down just a little bit.
MR. WEYER: Oh, I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We'll give you all the time you want.
MR. WEYER: I'm sorry. I was getting excited.
If you look at the county and you want to use the 2. -- 2.39, we -- if you look along the
coast, if I were to do a project along the coast, which I have done, it's probably closer to 2 because
of all the retirees and all of that.
And if you look at projects further east, like Immokalee and Ave Maria, it's probably closer
to 3.
So this was a micro -- I didn't use the county average. I was actually using the data for
that area. It wasn't used in the report. It was in there, and I knew it was going to be brought up.
But the only reason that I put it in there -- or left it in there -- could have taken it out -- I left it in
there was to show that I think the persons per household is going to go down.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, you have -- you put it in your report and now you're
suggesting that we shouldn't rely on it and that the applicant didn't rely on it or the staff didn't rely
on it.
MR. WEYER: It wasn't in any of the calculations anywhere.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But it was in your report.
MR. WEYER: I understand that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Isn't it a fair statement that a higher PPH supports the arguments
for commercial developments and a lower PPH supports the arguments for a residential
development? Would you agree to that?
MR. WEYER: It depends on the situation. Why do we have so much commercial along
the coast and along 41 and places like that where the persons per household is at 2?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You're saying it's at 2 along the coast?
MR. WEYER: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Gulf Shore Boulevard?
MR. WEYER: Sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, come on.
MR. WEYER: You have -- okay. I will get you the data, sir. I promise to show you
that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well --
MR. WEYER: Anyway, we're getting off the --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, we're not.
MR. WEYER: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: The next thing I want to talk to you about in your report, you have
a conclusionary paragraph, an in-conclusion type of paragraph, maybe around Page 20 or so, and
then the next 80 or so pages are computations and the like, correct?
MR. WEYER: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. And in your conclusion, you state that more commercially
zoned land, quote, will not adversely affect the balance of commercial space to commercial
demand, closed quote. Those were your words.
MR. WEYER: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Are you -- are you telling us that "will not adversely
affect" is the same thing as "need"?
MR. WEYER: I didn't say it's the same thing as need.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. I just wanted to be sure that you're not saying that. It's
not the same thing as need, is it?

MR. WEYER: And I didn't either.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I know you didn't.
MR. WEYER: It's a professional discussion.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. We've had this discussion before and may have it again,
and I respect your expertise and your point of view, and thank you.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Mulhere, do you have some more?
MR. MULHERE: No, but I assumed there might be more questions, which I'm happy to
answer if there are.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, yeah. I think I'm going to --
MR. MULHERE: Try to answer, sorry.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to -- I'm going to reserve the rest of my questions until
we hear from Ms. Eastley and other staff members --
MR. MULHERE: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- because I think it will sharpen the issues and possibly even save
time, God forbid.
So no one is signaling at this point. Does any Planning Commission member want to be
heard at this time?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No?
All right. Then we'll turn it over to staff.
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
As indicated by the applicant, staff is recommending approval. We did recognize that
there was an abundance of square footage. We did look at the allocation ratio and took some merit
from that because we do know that, specifically, the Randall Curve subdistrict, that 375,000 is not
going to be able to develop to that area -- to that amount.
We also recognized the public benefit that's being provided for. And the question of
whether three single-family homes with driveways onto Immokalee Road in the location of a
proposed flyover was an appropriate land use and thought that that was a conclusion that favored
the transition to an alternative use than single-family.
Based upon that, staff is recommending, from a Comp Planning standpoint -- but we are
recommending that, for compatibility reasons, that the additional 50-foot buffer be augmented by
an opaque fence or wall. We did specify a height. Traditionally, that would be six or eight feet
based upon -- but we thought that would be something that we could discuss with the Planning
Commission as well.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is it staff's point of view that there is a need for this project -- for
this GMPA?
MR. BOSI: We believe there's justification.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is there a need?
MR. BOSI: Based upon the amount of gross square footage, the need would be
questionable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Ms. Eastley?
Go ahead, Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Staff recommendation, you talked about the opaque wall.
Are you supportive of the position that Mr. Mulhere raised concerning -- he addressed they would
do an enhanced buffer or a wall. So if he puts the wall up, it's just going to be the buffer, and it
will be a natural buffer to take its own course and growing out an enhanced native vegetation?
MR. BOSI: I would normally turn to Ms. Cook, but from staff's perspective, I think that
removal of the exotics with an opaque fence and wall on the -- the property side -- the Estates
residence side of the -- of that buffer would be more than adequate, but I could let Jaime correct
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 87 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

me.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Without the enhancements that was originally proffered?
MR. BOSI: The enhancements, when you put up an opaque fence or wall, for me
doesn't --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's a moot point.
MR. BOSI: It's a moot point. But removal of the exotics is something we still would
want.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Jaime, all yours.
MS. COOK: Jaime Cook, director of Development Review.
So the Golden Gate Master Plan for the Rural Estates requires a 75-foot buffer between
residential and commercial development. The GMP request is to reduce that to 50 feet.
Now, the exotics is almost a moot point because that's going to be required by code
regardless of whether there's a wall there or not. If the wall were there, that provides the opacity
that staff would be looking for in terms of what we typically look for with a preserve.
So staff was supportive of the wall or an opaque fence from the sense that that provides the
opacity that's needed to allow for that reduced buffer.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And the wall would go all the way -- it would not require
a wall between the applicant's property and the retention pond. That could remain a natural
buffer?
MS. COOK: That could remain open, and staff would probably recommend that for ease
of access for even Road Maintenance to be able to get -- or South Florida Water Management
District to be able to get along that canal.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Opacity might solve the visual problem, but it doesn't -- and don't
go away yet, please, ma'am -- but it doesn't really do anything about potential noise, does it? A
wall might.
MS. COOK: No. The wall may do more for the noise. But staff wouldn't take a
position either way as to whether it's a wall or a fence.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And why is that?
MS. COOK: That's not what's within my purview, so -- I don't get into that. The -- we're
focused more on the opacity part of it. So the wall or a, you know, vinyl or a wood-type fence that
would meet the code requirements would provide that opacity that I'm looking for.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. But common sense tells us -- you're very commonsensical,
I know -- that with a wall you're going to get more attenuation of noise, correct?
MS. COOK: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Okay. That's all.
May I have Ms. Eastley come up?
MS. EASTLEY: Good afternoon. Kathy Eastley, Planner III with Comprehensive
Planning.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. I was impressed with your staff report. My only
critique of it would be that I think your recommendation fell a little bit short of the solid points you
made leading up to it. We can talk about that in a moment.
I just want to be sure that there has been no change. And you've heard it quoted both by
the Vice Chairman, also by me, in the staff report that I assume you authored, based on the existing
commercial square footage allowed by the FLUM, the commercial demand is met through the 2033
planning horizon. Agreed?
MS. EASTLEY: That is agreed. However, if I might make one point.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Of course.
MS. EASTLEY: You know, we just recently expanded our planning horizon to 2045, so
we are looking at an extended period of time now.
So even though we say that the commercial square footage is met today, and it may even
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 88 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 83 of 102
be met in 10 years, it may not be met in 20 years. And so from a growth management standpoint,
we're looking at providing for that -- that amount of commercial square footage through the
planning horizon. So there is some support for it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But you're -- well, let me see if I understand what you're saying.
Your statement goes through 2033, right?
MS. EASTLEY: I believe that was correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. And so now you're talking about 2045 because that
horizon has been expanded, but you're not in a position to say whether it is or is not sufficient up to
that time today in your testimony, are you?
MS. EASTLEY: No, but I did notice that in the -- in Mr. Weyer's report, there was some
documentation provided that in certain year periods of time that X amount of square footage of
commercial would be necessary.
And so even though we may be exceeding what is required today, that that would be
absorbed in the future planning period.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: May.
MS. EASTLEY: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, may. Okay. May, may not.
And you also said that the staff -- that the applicant's presentation exceeds the U.S.
department census which utilizes 2.4 persons per household.
MS. EASTLEY: Correct. And I think that the -- I may be incorrect, but what I had
assumed was that the persons per household was used on a per capita basis to determine the amount
of commercial square footage to support future populations.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And what would your opinion be on that?
MS. EASTLEY: If the higher persons per household were utilized, it might inflate that
commercial square footage.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. And in your opinion, if you have one, is 2.9 PPH, is
that justified?
MS. EASTLEY: I think that we have seen -- and Mr. Weyer agrees that that's not
justified.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Not justified.
MS. EASTLEY: Not as a -- for use in projecting future need based on future population.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And I think I just have one more question for you. In
your -- in your point of view -- and I'm asking you to put on your needs analysis hat now. In your
point of view, is there a need for this Growth Management Plan amendment; a need?
MS. EASTLEY: So I think the best answer I can come up with there is that this needs
analysis is not just a science, but it is also an art. And Mr. Weyer has explained that you can come
up with supply. You can come up with demand. But there are factors that are going to occur that
are going to affect that, and so that's where the art part comes in. Is there a need today for it? No.
But is there a need for it in the future? Yes. And I do support that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: In the future, like 21st Century, something like that?
MS. EASTLEY: Past 2033.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. There's all I have for you.
MS. EASTLEY: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anybody else have questions for Ms. Eastley?

Mr. Chairman, we -- to steal a phrase from Mr. Yovanovich, we reserve the right to get
smarter. So as we developed our recommendation for this project and through the numbers that
we went through 2.9, 2.4, we decided that it was a reasonable calculation, and we are, therefore,
recommending approval.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. Anything else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. So we now turn to members of the public, and,
Ms. Padron, what do we have?
MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, I'm putting on my other hat.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. SABO: Brian McMahon and Rae Ann Burton are the only two speakers.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Actually, before we go to the speakers, I have one more
comment -- question for staff, possibly the County Attorney.
With the potential for zoning this to commercial, what could the possible impacts be under
the Live Local Act?
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, zoning director.
The conversion of this from Estates to commercial PUD would make it eligible for a Live
Local request to be exercised.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So higher buildings, more density?
MR. BOSI: It would be entitled to the highest density allowed within -- within the county
and the highest approved -- that's what the statutes say, and the highest approved height within one
mile of this area.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And so if affordable housing were part of the mix -- I
realize this is speculative, but we've engaged in a fair amount of speculation already on this. But if
this property were rezoned commercial and then subsequently brought in on an affordable housing
rezone, it wouldn't even come to the Planning Commission or the BCC, would it?
MR. BOSI: No.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. And -- which I think is something worth
thinking about.
And I think that's all I have.
Go ahead, sir.
MR. MULHERE: Thank you. Is that not true of all of the other commercial that's in the
immediate area right now in terms of qualifying surrounding lands for the Live Local?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Are you doing a rebuttal?
MR. MULHERE: I'm asking the staff a question. I'm not entitled to do that?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, you're entitled to do it, but just -- just the timing.
MR. MULHERE: I'll wait.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. You're going to have a full opportunity of rebuttal.
MR. MULHERE: I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And -- if you don't mind, I'm trying to -- thank you very much.
I'll try to help you remember if you don't remember.
All right. Who do we have from the public?
MR. SABO: All right. Mr. Chairman, two speakers, Brian McMahon and Rae Ann
Burton. They can each take a podium.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. McMAHON: How you doing? My name's Brian McMahon. I live on 22nd, which
is a block or so off of this project.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. McMAHON: I'm getting concerned, though. When I bought my house in 2000,
zoning laws were designed to protect property owners, and now we're suddenly looking like we're
going to start becoming Houston, Texas, where there is no zoning laws. And if he can do this,

why can't I build a Jiffy Lube two houses down from mine?
This is not what we bought. This is not protecting the current residents. This isn't a small
little doctor's office. This is a 125,000-square-foot building. This is the size of a Home Depot or
a Lowe's on residential lots that are backing up to people's property. This isn't right.
I mean, at least you addressed the noise, and I appreciate that because you're going to have
trucks backing up, beeping, car stereos, car alarms, all this stuff. At least I appreciate you
addressing the noise issue of it.
But, you know, I understand now why the county got involved with it, but there's plenty of
commercial land that this can be built on. You've got Big Cypress, you've Ave Maria, all kinds of
place that this can be built.
But one main point you've got to remember, and it's a state law, in Golden Gate Estates, it
is perfectly legal to shoot a gun in your backyard. So you've got your 50-foot buffer, which is
about from where you're sitting to that wall, and there's a guy on the other side of whatever you
build running 30 rounds through an AR15, and it's perfectly legal.
Now, I'm not saying he's going to shoot the people, but some people are going to get real
nervous about that. Some tenants are going to get nervous; customers are going to get nervous.
Something to think about, putting a building where people are shooting. Ain't a good idea.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Next speaker is Ms. Burton.
MS. BURTON: Hello. It's Rae Ann Burton again.
I didn't really come for this one. I came for the other one, so I'm not really prepared, one.
Two, Growth Management Plan written was to protect and keep the Estates rural and open
spaces.
Three, the growth plan is not a toy to be used for developers to play with and adjust so they
can build what they want, disregarding the impact on those that live here.
Four, heard today the area was dense, that's why the land is -- the reason it is, the land is
being bought by realtors or developers, not the public, and they're building houses. I've seen the
houses sit for over a year before even bought.
Five, it won't increase jobs or benefit the residents. It benefits only the developers.
Six, the area's already traffic congested and accident prone and a parking lot. If you try
going down Immokalee over to Randall, forget it.
Seven, it doesn't fit the unique rural area.
Eight, it only built it there because it's cheaper than the already commercial areas. Why
not build it next to Rivergrass in the new developments? Those are really dense over there.
Nine, a reason why -- this is a reason why over 700 people signed petitions to try to
incorporate the Estates to protect our quality of life, our unique environment of the rural area, and
keep commercial out.
Ten, 12 years ago, on 7/11, the corner of Oil Well and Immokalee was a panther crossing
sign. It disappeared when development started.
Eleven, hope I haven't wasted my time to come here today, that my voice is really heard,
that this isn't already a done deal, or it hasn't been done just so the developers satisfy legal
obligations.
Twelve, please don't approve. Make developers adhere to the original Golden Gate
growth plan. Keep us rural. Don't make us Miami.
We have already increased in traffic congestion, accidents, even deaths, crimes, and
panther deaths.
Thirteen, please don't let developers bury us with their dense commercial developments.
Fourteen, don't approve.
Thank you.

MR. SABO: We have no registered speakers online. That's it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anyone in the room who hasn't registered nonetheless
wishes to be heard in this matter, please raise your hand.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Seeing no hands raised, we'll close the public comment portion of
this hearing.
And before we go to rebuttal, I have another question or two for staff that I want to get in
before rebuttal so that Mr. Mulhere has an opportunity to include it in his rebuttal if he wishes.
We have heard a little bit about a swap agreement, and it's -- I read the materials, and it -- it
is debatable whether the -- whether the swap agreement is of benefit to the county or not. But,
fortunately, it's really above our pay grade. We don't need to evaluate the benefit to the county of
the swap agreement because that's not the test. Benefit is not the test. The test is need.
And I would just like to be sure that there's no misunderstanding here that the -- if the swap
agreement may be of benefit to the county, let's say it is, but that doesn't satisfy the need to prove
need, does it?
MR. BOSI: That doesn't alter. The Board of County Commissioners has stated that if a
Growth Management Plan is being prospered [sic], then there has to be an identified public benefit
that's associated with it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Along with a need.
MR. BOSI: Along with a need.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Okay. That's a fair statement.
And I realize that the BCC's already weighed in on this, and so that's a given; the
agreement is there. And so we can take it for the sake of discussion that it is of benefit to the
county. But to me that is not the equivalent of need and, to me, need is required.
And, again, the Growth Management Plan is sort of like the constitution of this county; it's
the most senior document we have, and it sets the legitimate expectations of the public as to what
they can rely on or plan for with respect to what's going to happen to their property and to
properties surrounding their property.
And so I think we mustn't take it lightly when changes are requested. And I think
over -- over a period of time, perhaps we're just as guilty about this as maybe staff, maybe the
Board of County Commissioners. But there's been a relaxation of the requirement that there needs
to be, I think, pretty strict proof of benefit and need, not benefit or need.
And I think we have to look out for the interests of the residents and the folks in the rural
estates who, you know, had a right to expect that without -- without meeting the letter of the legal
requirements, which I think we've outlined, we shouldn't just be handing out Growth Management
Plan amendments like they were Monopoly tokens. That's in my opinion. So that's all I have to
say on that.
And we've closed the public comment portion, and so now we can go to rebuttal. And
don't forget you wanted to ask staff a question.
MR. MULHERE: Yes, I appreciate that.
Well, I was just going to point out -- I mean, the Live Local Act -- you know, there's an
awful lot of areas where -- that are mixed use or commercial in nature. That applies to mixed use
or commercial areas. So while I don't agree that by changing the designation to commercial, it
may somewhat expand the area, it doesn't change it a whole lot because, as Mike said, highest
density in the county. And is it a one-mile? So it's a one-mile circumference around the project,
or is it -- is it the highest height or the highest density?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Height.
MR. BOSI: The one-mile -- the one-mile radius around the project is to determine what is
the highest approved height.
MR. MULHERE: Height.
MR. BOSI: And the other portion in terms of density that would -- the project would be

Page 87 of 102
entitled to is the highest density allowed per the county.
MR. MULHERE: And so these other PUDZs allow similar or higher than what we've
requested. So I'm just saying, you know, that's already established.
I do want to talk about the term "need." I mean, I think it's -- I don't know, maybe I'm
stating the obvious here, but I think that term can be used to draw a very fine line. You know, one
side there's no need. The other side there is need. What is the need? Is it for economic gain?
No.
So what is the actual criteria for a Comp Plan amendment? Which I talked about, you
know, earlier.
The Future Land Use Plan and plan amendments shall be based upon surveys, studies, and
data regarding the area, including the amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth.
There's no question that there's going to be more commercial needed. The question is whether or
not -- is the timing of that, which may or may not -- I mean, staff testified to the same thing that we
did. There will be more commercial needed. It's just a question of timing. Ten years is not a
long time from right now in this type of consideration.
The character of the undeveloped land. I believe I put adequate testimony on there that
showed you what's going to happen in this area with a grade-separated intersection and other
massive improvements, adjacency to commercial. Even staff testified that it's probably not a good
location for three single-family lots adjacent to this six-lane roadway.
Compatibility, staff finds that we're compatible. We believe we are, especially with the
design standards that we put into the PUD.
And then, finally, the discouragement of urban sprawl. I don't know that this discourages
urban sprawl, but it certainly helps to correct the negative impacts from a huge -- at one point the
world's largest subdivision with one use, low density single-family.
This is appropriate. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Any questions?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. So we come to the time where it's up to us to
deliberate and to vote.
Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I'll make a comment. I have to concur with
Mr. Mulhere on the compatibility. I think the county made a decision many years ago when they
made this a six-lane divided highway. I just do not look at this -- these three sites as being what I
would call suitable for a single-family home. If this isn't built, something else will be there
eventually whatever that may be. I just -- to say these are part of the rural character of Golden
Gate, three lots fronting a six-lane divided highway soon to be within a mile of a grade-separated
overpass is not, to me, and can -- to be compatible with the statement of this is a rural community.
So I just don't even anticipate that there would -- anybody would ever build a home on
these lots. So I tend to support the petition. I tend to -- I would make a recommendation, but
right now I'll just say that I'll support the petition. I believe that the -- what was offered by the
petitioner to put up the wall on the three lots, not the lot that is adjacent to the detention area, but
put up a wall, and then with standard vegetation, a 50-foot buffer, which is proposed.
So I could make the motion, or I'll wait to hear what others have to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Your call.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I have a --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you.
Question, I guess hypothetically for staff. When you look across the street to the north of
Immokalee, you have, obviously, the canal, which makes it almost impossible to come off of
Immokalee and turn into any of the vacant land. They have to come in off of 25th Avenue
Northeast, right?
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 93 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 88 of 102
MR. BOSI: (Nods head.)
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Hypothetically, could landowners do that, get together
just north of 24th Avenue Northeast and, for example, maybe put up flag lots with a minor road
between the lots that are adjacent to Immokalee and the lots that are adjacent to 24th Avenue
Northeast and make, like, a service road behind the lots that -- I know I'm getting in the
weeds -- the lots that are on 24th and that butt up against to Immokalee?
My question would be: Is there a way to turn this and various other property, for example,
between -- still on 24th Avenue Northeast -- let's see, what is this? Between Wilson and -- I guess
that's it. Wilson, because we have the canal at the other end -- to make those lots accessible for
homeowners not having to have access off of Immokalee?
MR. BOSI: It's possible. It would be highly unprobable. That access road at the back
of their parcels, the parcels that front on Immokalee Road, would be marrying up to the very
middle of the two other parcels that are -- abut Wilson Road. That configuration does not suggest
that that is something that's highly probable.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anything else?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: After looking at this and recognizing -- and I'm just
on maps on my laptop here -- and zooming out, you don't see much commercial in this area. At
first the plan might be attractive, but it's the first parcel of area that's being used as commercial
outside of 4th Street, Randall, and the Immokalee curve. And once you start that migration of
commercial outside of that corridor, more than likely it's only going to continue, while the corridor
now that we're discussing here just before the curve is, I'll take a guess here, 98 percent rural
homes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: So to me, it's difficult to be the first one to make a
decision to increase the commercial area outside of where there seems to be possibilities for other
commercial areas. So I haven't come up with a conclusion or made up my mind, but I was just
trying to think, hypothetically, if somebody wanted to use that property that's in question now from
the petitioner for personal residences, how could they get there? Could they do something off of
Wilson? Could they do something with a flag lot off of 24th Avenue Northeast?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anyone else want to be heard? I'm going to make a statement.
Go ahead, though.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I might as well.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, Mr. Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: It's a tough one. I totally agree with everything Joe said, that
in the long run it will probably be better, but I also agree with the fact that homeowners have the
right to expect that we're going to stick with the Growth Management Plan unless there's an
overriding benefit to the community. I'm still torn which way to go, to be quite honest with you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
I'm going to say some things, really, in the nature of a summary, because I believe I've
raised all the issues that I have concern about, save possibly for one that I'll mention in a moment.
We've talked about the commercial square footage and the demand at this time and going
through 2033. And I realize we've extended the planning horizon to 2045, but the farther out you
go, the more speculative it is. And the fact that the staff report said based on the existing
commercial square footage allowed by the FLUM, the commercial demand is met through the 2033
planning horizon, that fact, I believe, remains.
And the possibility of some of the square footage that is currently available commercially,
zoned commercially, or could be is speculative, and I don't think that it is within our purview to
follow the invitation of the economic analysts who believe that we should assume a certain
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 94 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
February 1, 2024
Page 89 of 102
percentage of what is now commercially available will be rezoned to something else and thereby
create more commercial need. I think that's extremely -- well, it's rank speculation.
Also, on the demand side, I -- thank you for clarifying in your testimony that you're not
relying on the 2.9 persons per household but, nonetheless, that number was in there, and, you
know, you have to assume that it's in there for a reason.
And the fact that again and again we see lowball numbers coming in, PPH for residential
deals, and high numbers coming in for commercial deals, PPH should be a scientific calculation.
It doesn't mean there can't be adjustments to it, but you have to start with, like, a number like 2.4
and then apply your exceptions, like vacancies and whatever else. So I fault the economic analysis
for even including that information.
And I've talked about the gradual creep of where it seems like Growth Management Plan
amendments have gone from something that should be rare exceptions to something
that -- something that have really become the rule, and that is definitely not fair to the residents. I
think they have expectations that are reasonable, and they're not inviolate, but it's -- to me, at least,
it's a high standard before we amend the Growth Management Plan.
And I think holding applicants to meeting the standards of the statute and the Golden Gate
Area Master Plan and the other ordinances, I think we owe them that.
The needs analysis, Mr. Bosi testified there is no need. I think Mr. Mulhere testified that
needs analysis is a part -- an essential part of this process. The consultant, the most -- and I did an
electronic word search on "need." I might have missed something, but I don't think I did. And
the most the consultant was able to say was that the commercial zoning will not adversely affect
the balance. And not adversely affecting and create -- and fulfilling a need are really two very
different things.
Fourth, I've heard it argued that the swap agreement provides a benefit to the county. And
for the sake of discussion, I'll concede the point that Mr. Bosi made that both a benefit and a need
are desirable, but a need, I think, has to be shown under the subsection of Chapter 163 that I cited.
And so the benefit is fine, but it doesn't satisfy the requirement of a need. And if benefit alone
were enough -- this is maybe, let's say, a Latin expression, reductio ad absurdum. But if all we
needed was a benefit to the county, filing your application and attaching a million-dollar check
payable to the amount of county would be enough because that's a significant benefit, but it
disregards, in this case, the reasonable expectations of the people in the Rural Estates.
Okay. So finally, there have been two recent developments that have made me look more
carefully at GMP amendments that from my analysis make this a different process than it was six
months or a year ago. And first was the Live Local Act. And Live Local, a clever alliteration,
but it's a misrepresentation of what it does. What it really does is it regulates remotely, another
alliteration.
Tallahassee wants to make the rules for Collier County and that, to me, is an anathema. I
don't want to see that, but it's happening by degrees -- increasingly frightening degrees. But it ties
our hands.
And as was pointed out, if there were a subsequent rezoning -- if this becomes commercial,
it becomes fully eligible for administrative approval that won't even come to the Planning
Commission, won't even come to the Board of County Commissioners, and it will increase both
height and density, which I think is something that we do not want to lose ahold of.
And, finally, another recent development -- and this is just my impression. People are free
to differ. But I watched closely the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, and although
the moratorium did not pass, there was considerable discussion, not only among members of the
public, but also by the Board of County Commissioner members themselves expressing what I
interpret to be some angst over what has been happening along Immokalee and along Vanderbilt
and, perhaps, for reasons of not wanting to invite litigation, which a moratorium might well do, or,
perhaps, also maybe even more importantly for reasons that a moratorium really doesn't solve the
problem. The problem is still there; it just gets postponed.
5.A.a

February 1, 2024
Page 90 of 102
So the idea of a moratorium was rejected. But the message that I took away from our
bosses, the county commissioners, was that they maybe want us to take a little closer look at these
Growth Management Plan amendments particularly along Immokalee and Vanderbilt Beach. Do
it on a case-by-case basis, but be sure that the applicable laws and ordinances are strictly
interpreted and that their meaning is applied to each case individually. And for those reasons, I
am going to be voting against this proposal.
Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I'm going to yield to Joe. The only thing I wanted to add is
I'm more -- I think the traffic egress, you know, in and out, right turn -- right turn in, right turn out
to me, on a commercial side -- and I may be way out of whack -- presents a much more significant
traffic problem with three individual lots, resident lots, and that also adds to the consideration in
my mind.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I'm going to make a recommendation for approval
of both the GMPA and the CP -- accompanying CPUD.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is there a second? I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And the reason -- again, I'm going to reiterate, the
decision was made by this county and the Board of County Commissioners long ago in regards to
the developing of this corridor. I've heard for years that we need commercial to prevent traffic
having to come west for commercial services when, in fact, the issue is that folks along these -- this
corridor, there's always been an express need for commercial.
I know there's areas along the curve, but it seems to be, from what I'm hearing -- and one
of the conversations I had with Mr. Mulhere and what I heard from staff, some of these commercial
areas are now being converted to residential just because it seems to be either highly -- or more
desirable or more profitable.
But the fact is, it's a six-lane divided highway. The decision was made years ago that this
was going to be a major corridor. And I just don't see this area as being suitable for single-family
homes and, therefore, I'm making a recommendation of approval for both -- both petitions, both the
GMPA and the PUD with the stipulation that the wall would be constructed on the three lots that
back up to the residential properties, and that the 50-foot buffer will be exactly that, a 50-foot
natural buffer, not an enhanced buffer.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Do you have a footage?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Fifty-foot was what they were asking for.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, height of the wall.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No, I don't. I don't know -- I mean, did staff come up
with a recommendation? Six-foot, eight-foot wall? What do you --
MR. BOSI: Six-foot --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Six-foot wall is typical, isn't it, or is it an eight-foot wall?
MR. BOSI: Six-foot typical when you have a fence.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right, a six-foot.
MR. BOSI: A wall would be eight-foot.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Eight-foot wall?
MR. BOSI: I mean, the code section says up to eight feet, so it gives a lot of discretion
within that buffer.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. But it could be a wall-on-a-berm type of
construction as well?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mr. Mulhere, do you have a proposal?
MR. MULHERE: Well, I mean, we've used in the past is wall and berm combination up
to --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: A wall and berm combination.

MR. MULHERE: Wall and berm comb- -- up to eight feet.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Up to eight feet. Okay. That's in my recommendation.
MR. MULHERE: And there's --
MR. BOSI: Is there flexibility within an opaque fence or wall, or did you just -- or is it
just --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No. It will be an -- it will be an opaque -- it will be a
wall for sound purposes.
MR. MULHERE: So that can -- but that can still be a prefab concrete wall?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: For a total eight feet, including the berm that --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Eight feet including the berm.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That it sits atop.

see here. There's -- let's see. Excuse me. One, two, three, four -- excuse me, one, two, three,

Ex parte disclosures, starting with Ms. Lockhart.
MS. LOCKHART: Staff materials only.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials only.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Matters of public record, meetings with staff, and a
conversation with the applicant's agent.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Staff materials only.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Staff materials and a brief conversation with
Mr. Yovanovich.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Klucik.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yes, just meeting with staff and also that was the same for
the prior matters.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, okay. Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's right. We had lost you.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yeah, I have that on the record.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Do you want to explain, Rich, while you -- when you left,
we failed to vote for the EAC on your previous petition, and we did vote and passed unanimously
for the EAC.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: EAC part, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: We had to --
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'll take that.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: We had to complete the record.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'll take that. I appreciate that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Vice Chair, for catching that.

You may proceed, Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Thank you. Good afternoon. For the record, Rich Yovanovich
on behalf of the applicant.
With me, obviously, I have Trey Conway. He's the Home Depot director of real estate.
Wayne Arnold's our planner. Hamilton Williams is the architecture on the project. David
Dratnol is the traffic consultant. Bethany Brosious, she's still here, is our ecologist. And Justin
Napolitano is our engineer.
I'm going to just do a real quick overview. In speaking with the planning commissioners,
there was one specific e-mail that -- someone who attended the public neighborhood information
meeting and subsequently submitted an e-mail regarding how the site will operate, and I'm going to
have Hamilton come up and address that.
But just briefly, brief overview, the parcel's 13.77 acres. It's in the urban area in the
Growth Management Plan. It's currently zoned C-3. It's what is considered consistent by policy
because it was commercially developed property at the time the Growth Management Plan was
approved.
Essentially, what we're doing is we're adding a Home Depot store to the already allowed
uses on the property, which is C-3, and Home Depot did a detailed analysis of this area of Collier
County, if you've seen that review as to why they want to locate on this site.
We took, you know, good care in looking at arranging the site for a couple reasons. One
was we wanted to be consistent with what East Naples wanted. They didn't want the sea of
parking out front. They prefer landscaping and a little bit of parking out front. So the store has
been placed on this site respecting those goals of the East Naples area. And the store -- and
Hamilton will take you through this -- has been specifically designed to accommodate the layout of
the parking and how it will work.
I don't know the easiest way to do this, but I'm going to ask Hamilton to come up. And I
guess the best thing -- and I wish I could leave this up at the same time as I put the comments from
Mr. Mann on the visualizer. But I think I'm going to have to do that so you can see it in the
context of the questions.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You can switch back and forth if you need to.
MR. WILLIAMS: Okay. Hi. Good evening, Mr. Chairman and Commission.
Hamilton Williams with GreenbergFarrow Architecture. And as Rich mentioned -- will I be able
to rotate between the visualizer and the site plan?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. WILLIAMS: Right here. Oh, right here.
We'll start with the site plan just to take one second to orient everybody to the current site
plan as I go forward and respond to some of the interested party questions that were sent over to
staff.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And while -- I just want to make the point that for those who are
watching this on TV, the material, Mr. Mann's e-mail and then his annotation of the site plan,
appear in the agenda packet, Pages 1779 through 1780. Sorry. Go ahead, sir.
MR. WILLIAMS: That's correct. Thank you.
And just as a point to -- a lot of these items were discussed at the neighborhood meeting.
There was some discussion back and forth. And we honestly went back to the design team, to the
engineering team, and Home Depot's design team, took some of the feedback from the
neighborhood meeting and made some adjustments to the site plan that I'll walk through here.
There were two primary items in Mr. Mann's e-mails. There were three or four different
comments, but they focused on access off of Tamiami Trail being one, and then circulation
throughout the property and the potential for some congestion, as well as the parking field location
from what you consider as a standard typical prototype Home Depot Site Development Plan.
So on this site, there are three access points that were from Tamiami Trail. There's one on
the left side that exists today with a cross-access easement with the cross-access drive that will be
5.A.a
Packet Pg. 99 Attachment: 02-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 94 of 102
put in place, there's a driveway in the center, and then there's a driveway on the far east side of the
plan that aligns with the current left-hand turn lane that's in the median going northbound.
And a lot of the discussion at the neighborhood meeting and comments in Mr. Mann's
e-mail regarding the access entry drive here at the, quote, front of the store and the limited area for
driveway and circulation that accompanied that.
In the original site plan that was presented, this was a different layout. There was parking
stalls across the entire front of the store. Following that meeting, we did take a look at this and
remove the parking stalls. As you can see, the large green area -- my mouse is gone -- large
landscape green area right here at the front of the store which allows this throat depth to be
extended, in essence. So when people enter to the site, instead of facing cars backing up at them
as they drive in, now they can turn left or right, stacking them further, and then continue into the
site as they would wish, to the west or to the east.
The other is operations. And any Home Depot store you've been to in the past, you know,
the front entrance and exit is right in the middle of the store. There's a lumber canopy on the side
with another entrance for the professional contractors that they typically use.
In response to the site layout, maintaining the East Naples overlay intent, Home Depot
looked at reorganizing their main entry for the professional contractors and putting it on the side of
the building rather than the front. So that eliminated any -- any customer access or ingress/egress
to the building from this area as well.
All of that will occur on the side of the building. In fact, Home Depot re -- did a full
re-layout of the interior of their building to accommodate this side entry, which effectively turns
this into their front field for the professional contractors and customers that wish to come to the
lumber and building material side of the building.
And the parking on the side, the garden center actually facilitates that as well. A majority
of the customers either pick which side of the store they would like to go to when they go to shop
at Home Depot. There's not a lot of cross-traffic between the two sides.
Customers that go to the garden center side have ample parking area and access in and out
of the building as well.
There was a truck circulation question as well. We have modeled full semi-truck delivery
trucks through this property. I actually made quite a few revisions to accommodate those with
island radiuses. The circulation is fine. In fact, Home Depot wants good, efficient operations as
well on their property. So they ensured that we looked at that on their end as well.
And this site plan facilitates truck ingress and egress from northbound on Tamiami or
southbound on Tamiami. So it should work fine for the delivery trucks.
I'll switch back to the visualizer just to see if there are any --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Before you go again --
MR. WILLIAMS: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Go back. You said the contractor entrance. That is also
the entrance for the main entrance for the store?
MR. WILLIAMS: There is still a traditional main entrance here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
MR. WILLIAMS: Correct, but the secondary entrance for the contractors, which acts like
a full second entrance point for customers, is on the side underneath this lumber canopy.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. I'm going to reserve questions. I'll wait for
your -- finish what you're stating, because I'm going to have some more questions.
MR. WILLIAMS: And just as a reminder, there is a full entry and point of sale at the
garden center as well. So that facilitates a lot of customer traffic in and out at the garden center
itself.
I just was going to switch back to the visualizer to see if there were any specific comments
that were in Mr. Mann's -- let's go to the visualizer, not the microphone -- in Mr. Mann's e-mail and
layout here. I think we accommodated the majority of those. In fact, some of those -- some of
5.A.a

the information was good for us to take back and redesign portions of the site plan with.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just to make sure, both the professional and the garden area
has checkout there, too. So you can go in one door and go out the same door?
MR. WILLIAMS: That is correct.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I figured that, but I thought I'd ask.
MR. WILLIAMS: Yes. In fact, they reoriented the point of sale for the lumber side to
work better with that side-entry point.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Quick question. Is it a requirement to have all three
of those access points off of 41, or is it something you would like to do? I say that because the
way the majority of the parking is set up, we'll call it on the east -- I guess the north and the south
end of the property -- if you eliminated the middle access point, you have all the traffic coming into
the two larger parking areas and no problems with cars that are parked up along 41 and people
backing up because they've just accessed the property. I might be out of term here with what I'm
asking. But if you removed that, we'll call it No. 2 access point, you still have 1 and 3. Is that
something anyone would consider? Is there not enough egress for all the cars that are needed?
Just curious.
MR. WILLIAMS: No. That's a great point and something we've considered and looked
at as we've developed the site plan for this in conjunction with working with FDOT on their
spacing and driveway requirements.
Two points I'd like to add. One is that, is we would -- originally would have preferred that
driveway to line up with that left parking field; however, with this existing drive cut, there's not
enough distance to put in proper deceleration lanes, and the spacing requirements between the
access points per FDOT requirements would not be met. So that's as close to -- far to the west as
we could push that drive, that center driveway.
The concern with eliminating this, from a traffic perspective, too -- and we do have
Trebilcock's representative David here as well if we need to talk further detail. You know, using
this as, you know, 50 percent, we'll just say, of the traffic generation, keep in mind this is a
commercial lot here. And I do believe there's an application in for this property as well for
development of half of that with what I consider a fairly heavy use. I think bringing in all of
Home Depot's traffic into another commercial property just to cut through their property would
create a lot more congestion than what we see with this center driveway here.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. Thank you.
MR. WILLIAMS: If that makes sense.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Any more questions for Mr. Williams?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I do.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Would you go to -- or can the staff go to Page 1476, 1, 4,
7, 6. That's a -- I think that was a picture that was used in the neighborhood information meeting,
and that gives a good perspective view. Because my concern is in the front. And I'm not talking
LDC. I'm talking Joe Tent Peg human nature.
MR. WILLIAMS: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'm going to drive there. There's no parking spaces in
front. I see this nice long strip with the landscaping. I'm going to just park my car there to run
in -- and that's it.
MR. WILLIAMS: There you go.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And that's kind of -- it's a better view -- more pictorial
view of your site plan. So I'm looking at this and I'm saying, okay, have you accounted for fire
access, fire lane? And what's going to prohibit where that -- you have that nice young gentleman
5.A.a

or lady, whoever that may be, on the sidewalk there. They're going to park their car right there,
get out, and go into the store. Are you going to call the police every day? I mean, this -- this has
the potential for disaster out in front of the store from a traffic management standpoint.
Because human nature, I want to park in front of the store. And I even can say that from
Lowe's. I know on either side of the store -- especially on the east side of the store, very few
people park on that side of the store, which surprises me. Everybody, of course, wants to park in
the front and cut across and walk in.
Is this something you guys have looked at, human nature on customers coming and going
to the store? There's only very -- there's very few parking right next to the door. And, again, I
see that long strip of landscaping that has the potential to be quite a bottleneck.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is it true that there would be some "no parking" signs there?
Because there are none in the image.
MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, we can. This was more for a visual of the aesthetics of the
building rather than an outline of the circulation. So, yes, we definitely can add some traffic
management signs.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I also believe it would have to be crosshatched as a fire
lane.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Schmitt, those are all Site Development Plan issues.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I realize that. I know. I realize it's a site-development
issue.
MR. YOVANOVICH: So I assure you, when we go through the Site Development Plan
review, should we get that far, every one of these issues is going to be looked at. Home Depot
spent a lot of time analyzing this site before they decided to buy the property to make sure it would
function. They're in the convenience business, too. So they're -- they've looked at this, and
Hamilton and the engineer will address every one of those issues when we get to the Site
Development Plan.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. The picture, it shows here as well that rather
pretty significant depth off of 41. I mean, that's as designed and that's in consideration of what the
public wanted.
I mean, you are giving up a lot of space there, it appears.
MR. WILLIAMS: You're talking about the throat depth of the --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, the throat depth of the --
MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, this is the throat depth, and then we extended it around on each
side as well to make --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Let's go back to the site plan again, the overall
site plan.
MR. WILLIAMS: Of course.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Thank you. Again, I -- it's not part of the rezoning. I'm
just saying, I have -- what Mr. Yovanovich stated, I trust that Home Depot has looked at this just as
somebody going into the store and knowing if a customer turns right or left and what aisle they
walk by and what they see. I mean, I know that's all studied in detail.
This breaks from that norm a little bit, and I'm just concerned that the Home Depot has to
be prepared. Because this is -- it's a tight fit. I'll be honest, it's a tight fit, and Home Depot has to
be prepared to deal with making sure that that traffic flows in and out of this site smoothly, and
that's right in front of that right turn -- right turn out. Okay.
MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Any other questions for Mr. Williams?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Yovanovich.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Recognizing that there's still people here from the public who've

been here all day, and you've been here all day, obviously your staff's recommending approval of
both petitions.
Unless you have specific questions, we're just going to do -- if it's okay with you-all to do a
brief overview of the petition and then opening it up to any questions you may have or the
public -- we'll respond to any comments from the public.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I do have another question, though. The interconnect
with the property, as I'm looking at, on the left, that's already been coordinated?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. We have --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is that a proposal or it's actually coordinated?
MR. YOVANOVICH: We have an access easement.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You do?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because I know -- I think I talked to Mulhere, and I
asked -- I mean Bob. I think somebody's coming in with a petition. Was that Mulhere's?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Mulhere is coming in over on this piece right here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, I thought he told me that. Yeah. Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So if you feel the need of doing an overview, brevity would be
preferred. If you don't --
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, I'm fine, unless you want more detail.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Let me go back to --
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm sure you all have read everything, so...
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Let me go back to the plan that was submitted by the
public. All those issues have been addressed is what you're saying?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Anything further for the applicant?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Thank you.
We'll now turn to the staff for its report.
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, zoning director.
As the applicant had indicated, on both petitions staff is recommending approval. We've
reviewed it against the -- or the accepted East Naples Development Plan and GMP and the LDC,
and we are recommending approval.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And in the staff report it said there's no EAC approval required.
MR. BOSI: None required.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Thank you.
All right. Any questions or comments for staff?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, we will see if we have public comment.
MR. SABO: Mr. Chair, we do. We have one public speaker, Rod Hansen, please.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Hansen.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Either podium, sir. Or lectern, as it really is called.
MR. SABO: Either podium.
MR. HANSEN: Good afternoon. My name is Rod Hansen. I own the lot, or my family
trust does, on the corner of Habitat and U.S. 41. So, basically, I'm on the other side of their natural
preserve. That conceptual -- can we get that conceptual back up on the screen?
So the left-hand side, I guess, it's the northwest, you say you have an agreement for access
there. I don't see it connected, but you've got an agreement. Correct me if I'm wrong if you guys
haven't just changed that empty lot to a C-4 car wash.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No.
MR. HANSEN: It's not approved?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I don't know if it's -- you have to ask staff. We

didn't -- we didn't -- we didn't rezone it.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I believe that's Mr. Mulhere's petition that's --
(Simultaneous crosstalk.)
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's a petition coming in.
MR. HANSEN: Is going to be a car wash?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We don't know.
MR. HANSEN: Okay. So all the traffic is moving to the east. Everything's moving east
one way.
Habitat is a dead-end road. Collier County owns the land between Habitat and Barefoot
Williams Road, so -- and if you want to know why you don't have grass and six to 12 inches of dirt
on Habitat intersection, is it one dangerous intersection. I lose white corpuscles getting onto that
road. It's hard to judge the traffic.
This is what happens. I go by this lot to and from work twice a day. A minute before I
got there, this lady on the right-hand lane, car pulls out of Habitat, she pulls into Habitat at 50 miles
an hour, takes six to 12 inches of dirt off your swale, and her engine block is up in the bushes.
Do you want pictures of what your intersection looks like? Does it matter?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, we're fine.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And your point is what, though? I don't understand,
because this -- Habitat is not part of the petition. Are you talking about traffic?
MR. HANSEN: Well, kind of -- I'm here for the -- I just want to be on the record for the
SDP if they're going to hear my words, right?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yep.
MR. HANSEN: Okay. Habitat's a dead-end road. And I have no problem with the
Home Depot building. I don't have a problem with it. I have a problem with all that traffic.
What is that -- how many -- who's the traffic guy? Is it 500, 1,000, 2,000 cars a day? How many
cars is it?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You mean without regard to this application?
MR. HANSEN: Well -- well, I'm just asking how much traffic is going to be going east
on U.S. 41.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We'll find out. We'll get the --
MR. HANSEN: Okay. You'll get to that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, we'll get to that.
MR. HANSEN: Oh, I'm not allowed to ask them questions?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No.
MR. HANSEN: Sorry about that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's all right.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: We can ask them for you.
MR. HANSEN: All right. All right. Yeah. That's all I've got to say. All I can say is
my property will be worthless.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And your property, for the record, is right at the corner of
Habitat and 41?
MR. HANSEN: Yeah, right on that -- right on the corner of Habitat and 41.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: On the east side of that corner?
MR. HANSEN: No, no. The east side --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's -- okay, that side.
MR. HANSEN: That's seven-and-a-half acres. What they're doing there is they're
putting in -- they're not happy with $14 million for the property, so what they're going to do is you
guys will increase their density if they put residential over their commercial, so that's what they're
looking to do. A lot of stuff going on at Habitat.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Thank you very much, sir.
Does anybody have any questions of the witness?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Seeing none, we will close the public comment portion of this
hearing and turn to Mr. Yovanovich for a rebuttal.
MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't -- I'm not really sure I understood the question about
traffic. I'm assuming he's asking what our p.m. peak-hour trip is, and it is 241.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I think he -- it sounded like --
MR. YOVANOVICH: It may be Mr. Sawyer needs to tell him how much traffic is on
U.S. 41.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I think he wants to know per day.
MR. YOVANOVICH: The total per day?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. YOVANOVICH: The net external is 3,228.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So I'm coming from the east, Rich, and I'm going to want
to go to Home Depot -- I can't remember. Is it -- at Barefoot, is that a signal -- signalized turn?
Can I make a U-turn there?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Coming from the east is -- this thing is -- you're coming this way?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, I'm coming up.
MR. YOVANOVICH: You're going to come right here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, I'm going to have a left turn. I'm sorry. I did not
see that, okay. So you've got an opening for a left turn there.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: There is a traffic light at Barefoot and across from the
park also.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: There is, yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So, again, I'm coming in -- and I'm on the garden side.
I'm just thinking, because this is in competition with Lowe's, so you're back and forth. The Lowe's
is right down the street.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And just like -- just like it is at Naples Park.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Naples --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Whatever that road is, Naples Boulevard.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Naples Boulevard.
MR. YOVANOVICH: If you can't find what you want at Home Depot, which you will,
you might go to Lowe's. Who knows?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anything further, sir?
MR. YOVANOVICH: No. I think that was the question the public had.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, I think you're right.
So it falls to us to deliberate and vote. Who would like to start?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I defer.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Mr. Yovanovich, did you say it was roughly 3200 cars
per day in and out?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Probably on the segment.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I think it's on the street.
MR. YOVANOVICH: That is us throughout the day.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: That's 3200 cars a day come in and out of we'll call it
the two access points, possibly three.
MR. YOVANOVICH: No, it's 1,600. There's in and out, which would be --
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. I understand. So 1600 times the vehicles
coming in and exiting.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Throughout the day.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Throughout the day.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And the peak hour, which is what we measure, is 241, if my
memory's correct.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: All right.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anything else?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Keep in mind, I'm already zoned C-3, so I'm sure I could generate
that much traffic with the existing C-3 uses if we wanted to.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, and that -- you just reminded me. I'm going to ask
another question, so I'll push my button.
C-3. But could you build -- I don't know. Can you build a Home Depot under C-3 or no?
It would have to be C-4.
MR. YOVANOVICH: If I could, I wouldn't be sitting here.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You wouldn't be sitting there. But you could build a
C-3. You could build a big box store.
MR. YOVANOVICH: A lot of stuff's in C-3.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: In C-3.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But not a big box. That's C-4, isn't it?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No. It depends on the use.
MR. BOSI: The hardware store had specific square-foot limitations, and the C-2 and C-3
zoning district, the -- I could -- I'll look up what the exact square footage, but they need C-4 to be
able build to the size of the square footage that they're asking for.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But on these lots, they could build multiple stores, could
they not?
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. Look, there's no question that we could generate far more
traffic with individual users on this property.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Correct. I would think so.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Any other questions or comments from the Planning
Commission?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Just the -- for clarification, all of the improvements are
developer responsibilities. Left-in, right-in, right-out, all that's the developer in coordination with
the county?
MR. YOVANOVICH: That is all site related.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, no. With approval, Mike, from the review, subject
to review from the county? You may want to come up and clarify that.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: He's been quiet all day.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: He's been too quiet today, I know it. Plus, he's got that
wild tie on, so we've just got to have him come up so he can get on the camera.
MR. SAWYER: Thank you, Commissioners. For the record, Mike Sawyer,
Transportation Planning.
I just wanted to clarify that, yes, Collier County will be seeing the right-of-way permits for
the project, and that will be part of the SDP. But FDOT is the -- yes. Actually, yes, it's going to
be through FDOT that -- it's their road. So, you know, we're going to be using their standards.

Minor clarification, but I just wanted to let you know.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anything else?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's it. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. I think the time is ripe for a motion.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, hearing silence, I'll make a motion again. I'll
approve PL -- I recommend approval of both the GMP amendment and the accompanying
condition -- or commercial PUD. That's PL20220000946 and PL20220000543, both petitions.
I did not hear anything that was additions or stipulations, so it's as presented by staff and
by -- and as -- presented by the commissioner [sic] and approved by staff.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I'll second.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's been moved and seconded to approve both the GMPA and the
PUD. Any further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, all those in favor, please say aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: (No verbal response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It passes unanimously. Thank you, applicant.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is Robb still on?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: He can't vote.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, he can vote.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yes. I voted yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, I assume he did. Okay.
All right. So we are moving smartly toward conclusion.
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's safe for us to leave, right?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, it is. Well --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I would think so.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. No EAC approval on this one. Any old business to come
before the Planning Commission?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No. Any new business to come before the Planning
Commission?
Anybody in the room who wishes to make public comment on any matter that was not on
our agenda today, now would be the time.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Seeing none, without objection, we're adjourned.

MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good morning, Mr. Bosi.
Welcome everyone and pleasant good morning to you. The August 1, 2024, meeting of
the Collier County Planning Commission will now come to order.
We'll begin. Everyone please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Secretary, would you please call the roll, sir.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Chairman Fryer?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Vice Chair Schmitt?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Secretary Shea is here.
Commissioner Vernon?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Commissioner Klucik?
(No response.)
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Not here.
Commissioner Sparrazza?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Commissioner Schumacher?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Ms. Lockhart?
MS. LOCKHART: Here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Sir, we have a quorum, six out of seven.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Addenda to the agenda -- oh, I want to excuse the absence of Mr. Klucik who had another
commitment.
Then addenda to the agenda, Mr. Bellows.
MR. BELLOWS: Good morning. There are no changes to the agenda today.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Planning Commission absences. Our next meeting -- amazing we're going to have two in
a month -- August 15, 2024. Anyone know if he or she won't be able to attend that meeting?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I will not be able to attend.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Anyone else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Hoping that we have a quorum.
Then on September 5, we will not have a Planning Commission meeting because the Board
of County Commissioners has its -- the first installment of its annual budget workshop. So we will
not be meeting for a first meeting in September. And furthermore, our meeting that ordinarily
would take place on the 19th of September is also not going to take place on that date because,
again, of a BCC budget workshop, but we will be meeting on the 19th.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Twentieth.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Twentieth, excuse me. On the 20th, and that meeting will be on a
Friday. So please check your calendars and be sure that you don't show up on Thursday unless
you want to attend the workshop, which you may well want to do. But please be with us on Friday
the 20th. Does anyone know if he or she cannot make that meeting?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'll just have to change my tee time, that's all.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, thank you. Thank you very much.

Page 3 of 85
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's probably true.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: You drink tea?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Tee time is all day.
All right. Approval of minutes, we don't have any minutes before us today.
Chairman's report, none today.
Consent agenda, none today.
***Public hearings, advertised. First on our agenda is PL20230017521, the large-scale
Growth Management Plan amendment. These are some Growth Management Plan cleanup
changes. It's a staff-initiated proposed amendment coming to us on transmittal, and it will come
back again to us on adoption at a future time, assuming that it moves through the process, and so I
recognize, with pleasure, Mr. David Weeks.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Mr. Chairman, I was lit up. I've got one minor
housekeeping matter.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Please. Go ahead, Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Given the schedule you just said, I think my last meeting
is September 20th, and I may not do this, but if you don't mind, I'd love to be on the agenda for
about 15 minutes, maybe less. I'm going to -- I'll tell you what I'm going to do. If I have
time -- and I may not -- I'm going to try to come up with kind of lessons learned, you know, stuff
that I wish I'd done differently or that I think I did well and I'm -- the purpose, really, is for
whoever sits in my seat, if they care to, they would be able to read it and go from there, and then if
I don't get to it on my "to do" list, then I'll just skip that 15 minutes, if that's okay with you, and if
the schedule's not too heavy.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's absolutely okay with me, and I'm sure it would be okay and
welcome with all of us planning commissioners. So we hope that you do find time to prepare that.
It will be educational for all.
Now, the matter about to come before us is purely legislative in nature. No quasi-judicial
pieces, thus no need for swearing in of witnesses or ex parte disclosures. And, again, I mentioned
Mr. Weeks. Those of you who don't know, he's in an excellent position to offer us these cleanup
items due to his long and valued service to Collier County Growth Management with an expert's
closest-in view of the Growth Management Plan, and so the Chair's pleased to recognize
Mr. Weeks.
MR. WEEKS: Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I am David Weeks with Nova Engineering
and Environmental, LLC. I'm a contract employee with Collier County.
Mr. Chairman, what you already stated has covered probably half my presentation.
There's not a lot to it. The objective of these amendments to the Growth Management Plan are to
primarily add clarity and uniformity to the portions of the plan that are proposed for amendment.
This is accomplished through restructuring, reformatting, making minor corrections, and the like.
And the one thing I want to stress is what this amendment does not do. It does not make
any changes to densities, uses, or intensities that are approved by the plan.
These are, in staff's view, truly cleanup changes. Our recommendation is for approval.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. I'm going to have a few small questions. It's
nothing of any consequence, and I don't know if any of the other members of the Planning
Commission as well. No one is signaling at this point. I will go ahead then, unless someone
wants to go first. Again, no one is signaling.
So all -- all really great work, Mr. Weeks, as always. And I note a sentence that is in the
staff report, and I'm not at all disagreeing with it, but I want to -- I want to see if it's a complete
statement of the definition of "cleanup." You, or whoever wrote this, said, "Cleanup is something
that doesn't affect land-use intensities or residential densities." Certainly that's the case, but are
there other -- are there other characteristics of cleanup, something that does not fall into that
definition?
MR. WEEKS: Not of a substantive nature. That phrase was not intended to be
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 111 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 4 of 85
restrictive. It does not affect uses, intensities, densities, development standards, and the like.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So that's not intended to limit the meaning of
"substantive" or "material." It's just by example.
MR. WEEKS: That is correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Gotcha. Thank you very much.
Let's see. I go to Page 16 of the staff report. I guess it's Page 16 of the agenda; Page 5 of
the staff report. And there is reference in the second paragraph of No. 9 which pertains to the
Vanderbilt Beach/Collier Boulevard Commercial Subdistrict. And in the second paragraph, it
says, "The Density Rating System is not applicable to Vanderbilt Beach/Collier Boulevard
Commercial Subdistrict," and you note -- in staff notes, No. 12, which are explanatory notes, it's
stated that, "This is to add clarification that the Density Rating System is not applicable to this
subdistrict which correlates to a change."
And I guess my question is: Is this -- is this a change that is yet to come or already been
put in place?
MR. WEEKS: A change that's part of this amendment petition. Let me explain further.
Under the Density Rating System within the Future Land Use Element, there are listed a handful of
exceptions or exemptions to the Density Rating System. One of the things this amendment does is
remove that list of exemptions or exceptions and instead, within each individual subdistrict, include
that phrase or statement that the Density Rating System is not applicable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. So the inapplicability to these sections, that's
something that's already been voted on by the BCC?
MR. WEEKS: It's already -- yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: It's already in effect. It's already true. So this is not -- it's not taking a
subdistrict that's presently subject to the Density Rating System and changing that to no longer be.
It already is not subject to it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Got it. So this is really a conforming change and truly
immaterial?
MR. WEEKS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Something had already been done. Thank you.
Now I go to Page 14 of the staff report, which is Page 25 of the agenda packet. And this
has to do with the Airport Carlisle, and Subsection B, "allowable uses are limited to." This has
been moved rather than added, right? Moved to this position from another position. My only
question is really mostly really for confirmation purposes. All you did was move this. You didn't
change any of the language, or if you did, please tell me how.
MR. WEEKS: You're correct. It's just a relocation.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: A significant amount of these amendments are restructuring and
reformatting the text. In some cases, moving sentences; in some cases, moving whole paragraphs.
But again, the language itself and its meaning has not changed.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify that on the record.
Thank you.
Okay. I don't -- this is not a strongly held point of view on my part, but at the beginning
of the staff report, it was mentioned that clarity and cleanup are important. Grammatical changes
have been made, which to me really is important.
And so my question to you is, as we all know, and you especially, here in this county we
refer to the Comprehensive Plan as the Growth Management Plan. My preference would be to call
it the Growth Management Plan everywhere in the Growth Management Plan rather than relate
back to the more generic term of Comprehensive Plan. Am I overlooking some reason why you
use Comprehensive Plan?
MR. WEEKS: The terms are interchangeable. Florida statutes use the term
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 112 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 5 of 85
"Comprehensive Plan," not Growth Management Plan.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I understand that --
MR. WEEKS: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- but we have opted to call it a Growth Management Plan pretty
much everywhere else.
MR. WEEKS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So is there any reason why we should default back to the statutory
language for this -- for this piece? I can't think of any.
MR. WEEKS: There's not. It probably goes back to the original adoption of the plan in
1989 where I suspect that there was the usage of both terms, and over time we've continued to
maintain both terms. But to answer your question directly, no, sir, there's no reason to have a
separate -- two separate terms.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Would there be any objection from you or staff if we
just make the conforming change and call it the Growth Management Plan? Because that's what
we call it here in this county.
MR. WEEKS: Not at all.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I follow up on that?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, please.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: David, I would just, in clarity then, and in the
introduction or otherwise to make sure that you clarify, because the State clearly calls it the
Comprehensive Plan. And in almost all of the statutory language it's referred to as the Comp Plan
or Comprehensive Plan. So you'd probably have to put some kind of introductory statement in
there that the terms are, in fact, the same or interchangeable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That would be fine with me, yeah. Thank you.
And if you would do a global search of this document and catch all the changes so that I
don't have to go through them one by one.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Can I get a clarification?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So just as to the amendments that are before you, you want any
reference to Growth Management Plan changed to -- I mean, Comprehensive Plan changed to
Growth Management. Because we have a bunch of other elements, and this isn't a complete
rewrite of the various sections he's cleaning up. So we will have both references in future. I want
to make sure we're all clear and that we'll --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I do understand that.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's just that -- my philosophy is, let's clean up as we go rather
than try and do a wholesale full LDC global change. And so here we are as we go, so we're -- it
looks like without objection we'll be making that change, which I think is a good idea.
All right. Okay. Then on Page 21 of the staff report, 32 of the agenda packet, the very
top says, "The boundaries of mixed-use activity centers have been delineated on the maps located
at the" -- and that's been deleted. But actually, we're not deleting the maps. We're changing the
maps, correct?
MR. WEEKS: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So why would we delete this language?
MR. WEEKS: Let me find that specifically.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. It's at the top of Staff Report, Page 21, and it's crossed
out.
MR. WEEKS: And, Mr. Chairman, are you reading from the resolution Exhibit A?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's probably what it is, yeah.
MR. WEEKS: Showing strikethrough, underline, I believe you said?
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 113 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 6 of 85
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Starting with, "The boundaries of mixed-use activity
centers," that has been stricken. And it -- and there's a map series at the end of this, and there still
is. It's just a different set of maps. So I'm not sure why we want to strike that language.
Just -- it's a question. I don't know how else I can refer to this other than the page of the staff
report and the page of the agenda packet.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, could I ask if you would please help me out here and look
at the heading of the section, capital letter C, Urban Commercial District, and then immediately
below that after short paragraph is No. 1, Mixed-Use Activity Center Subdistrict.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: On what page?
MR. WEEKS: I don't have an agenda packet, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: I apologize for that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, look, if -- assuming we approve this, if it's the -- if
there is a reason to take it out, take it out. If there's no reason to take it out, leave it in. It seems
to me, since we're going to still have these maps at the end, that we want to refer to them, to give
them the dignity of being an integral part of the Comprehensive Plan -- Growth Management Plan.
Do you see where I am now?
MR. WEEKS: I'm sorry, I don't.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Well, let's keep moving. Maybe before we adjourn
here, we can get confirmation. And if there's a reason to take it out, any kind of reason, that's fine.
But if not, I think it should be left in.
I have another question on that same page, and the stricken language says, "If choosing to
designate a mixed-use activity center or portion thereof as a master planned activity center, the
property owners within such mixed-use activity centers shall be required to utilize the master
planned activity center process provided below." So my question, I guess, is we're talking about
consolidating or possibly consolidating activity centers?
MR. WEEKS: No, sir. The master planned activity center is a provision where if a
property owner controls one or more quadrants of an activity center, actually, through the rezoning
process, they are allowed to change the boundaries.
An example would be at the north -- excuse me -- southeast corner of Immokalee Road and
Collier Boulevard where the Baumgarten PUD is located. Now, the original activity center
boundary was a square, and through that rezoning application, they changed the boundary to a
rectangle. Same acreage, but they changed the shape. And that's one of the things a master
planned activity center allows.
Another would be if an applicant controlled, say, two quadrants, they could actually shift
acreage from one quadrant to another; make one smaller, make another one larger. That has
occurred up the street here where Grey Oaks is located. They availed themselves of that
opportunity.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Maybe what confused me is the use of the plural word "center."
"The property owners within such mixed-use activity centers." Really, we're only talking about
one at a time here, right? We're changing the boundaries of one.
MR. WEEKS: In all likelihood, it would be one at a time, but there are multiple activity
centers that are eligible to be a master planned activity center. I believe that's the reason for the
plural.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. I see what you're saying now. That's fine.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, if I may, I believe I found where you were referring to
earlier.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. WEEKS: The boundaries of mixed-use activity centers have been delineated on
maps located at the end of this section.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Uh-huh.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 114 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 7 of 85
MR. WEEKS: It continues on.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Uh-huh. I just wanted to know why it's being deleted.
MR. WEEKS: Right. I think the reason is because it's no longer located at the end of this
section. When the Comprehensive Plan -- Growth Management Plan was adopted in 1989, the
activity center maps were physically located within the text. You go through half the text, and
then you'll come across a series of maps, and then more text. They are no longer physically
located within. All maps --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Perfect.
MR. WEEKS: -- are separate maps.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's a good explanation. Thank you.
Then I go to Page 33 of the agenda packet, 22 of the staff report, which is Mixed-Use
Activity Center No. 7 provisions, and this is another global one that is grammatical in nature and
wholly so.
The phrase "is comprised of" has found its way into many places in our Land Development
Code, and it's recognized as a colloquial in some dictionaries. But strictly speaking, the proper
phrasing is either "is composed of," if you want to use passive voice, or "comprising," if you want
to use active voice. And I have -- I brought this up several times over the number of years that I've
been on this Planning Commission. Again, it's not something I'm going to fall on my sword about,
but when we come in seeking to make grammatical corrections and I come across this, I can't help
but mention it. Do you have any thoughts on it or staff or any other members of the Planning
Commission?
MR. WEEKS: My thought will be I'll consult with the County Attorney's Office, and if
they concur, I'll happily make that change -- or don't object to it, I should say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It's the pleasure of the Planning Commission.
MR. WEEKS: I'll make that change, Commissioner.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Unless there -- without objection.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
And do a global search --
MR. WEEKS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- because it does appear in a number of places.
MR. WEEKS: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Let's see. Okay. This is on Page 35 of the agenda packet, 24 of
the staff report, and it has to do -- it's under Section 2, interchange activity center subdistrict, and
Subsection A says, "Dual Future Land Use Map designation." And I understand this concept.
This is really more a question of curiosity than a suggestion for a correction. How common is
this? I guess it's like dual overlays.
MR. WEEKS: I would say this is unique --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It is?
MR. WEEKS: -- in our Growth Management Plan.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Right here -- I mean, by "unique," this is the only place it would
occur?
MR. WEEKS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. I mean, I don't have a problem with it. I was
just wondering.
Okay. And then I go to the -- Page 37 of the agenda, 26 of staff report, Subsection F,
"Interchange Activity Center No. 9 provisions," and the first sentence says, "All new projects
within Interchange Activity Center No. 9 are encouraged to have," dot, dot, dot. Well, Mr. Weeks,
you and I lived through the "encouraged" language a few years ago and saw that it really doesn't
have any legal meaning. I don't believe we should resort to a word like that because it's -- it
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 115 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

doesn't obligate anybody to do anything, really, does it?
MR. WEEKS: It does not. It has no regulatory meaning. In this particular case, this is a
relocation of the language that already exists.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, that's, I suppose, a pretty good argument. Go
ahead.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But the language is very clear in the LDC on the criteria
for the -- especially -- what do you call it, No. 9. I mean, isn't the language pretty clear, all the
architectural language? Activity Center No. 9 is very clear in the LDC on the requirements?
MR. WEEKS: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, the language may be fuzzy here, but it's clear and
spelled out in the language of the LDC, my recollection. I haven't looked it up, but my
recollection is very, very specific, especially for LDC -- or, I mean, Activity Center No. 9.
MR. WEEKS: Commissioner, you're correct, and this particular language is referring to a
unified plan of development which typically is translated into either a PUD zoning or Site
Development Plan, some way that ties a project into a whole.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And the concept of unification's already in the LDC, Vice Chair?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I don't -- I don't know. I thought it was.
MR. WEEKS: It is in the context I just explained, that is through a PUD zoning or my
experience, the Site Development Plan, either one of which takes a project and pulls it together as a
whole to create that unity, such as uniform architectural materials or signage or landscaping.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, over the last probably 10 years, I think there's
probably been about two or three amendments in regards to Activity Center No. 9.
MR. WEEKS: Oh, definitely. It's been modified, yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's helpful, Vice Chairman, thank you. And I'm not going to
ask for a change, because it's being moved, and a change would be subjective, so we don't want to
do that. Thank you. That answers the question.
Then on Page 33 of the staff report, 44 of the packet, it says, additional -- well, it's right
above subsection large D, "additional TDR provisions." So this does not concern additional
TDRs, but physically it is located immediately above that subsection, and it has to do with
clustering. And it says -- and you don't even need to find this, Mr. Weeks, because I think once I
explain it, you shouldn't have a difficulty with it, but of course if you do, you do.
This is Section 11, and it had an A and a B. So we're taking out A and changing A to
B -- or B to A. But my point is, is since there's only one subsection, we don't need an A at all. If
you have an A, you'd expect it to be followed by a B or a C, and now it won't be followed by
anything, so why not just take out the numbering, the A?
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, my reluctance to agree with you was because you see the
row of asterisks right below that --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, yeah.
MR. WEEKS: -- which is a text break, and what I don't know is if there are subsequent --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, that's a good question. And so if they were, they'd all have
to be changed, too, and it's not -- that's not being offered to us. But it would be nice to see -- if
someone could look at the LDC or, rather, the Growth Management Plan and verify that it would
now just be sort of a naked Subsection A standing by itself.
MR. WEEKS: Be glad to do that, and if it is standalone, then I would make the change
you suggest, removing the letter A.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good. Yeah. And if it's not standalone, we probably should
have seen the other ones, because they're being changed, too.
MR. WEEKS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. That's fair enough.
All right. On Page 48 of the staff report, 37 -- excuse me, 37 of the staff report, 48 of the
agenda packet, there's a sentence that says, "As noted above, approximately 585.13 acres are
5.A.b

designated as sending lands as shown on." And I guess my question is, if it's noted above, why are
we noting it again?
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, is this under the Immokalee Road Rural Village Overlay?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, it is. And if you don't have an immediate answer, in the
interest of time, I'll defer to you. If there's a reason to repeat it after we act on this, go ahead and
repeat it. If there's no reason, in the interest of efficiency of language, take it out if it's already
been said.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So I can answer that question, I think.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: This particular overlay is related to a settlement that the county
had, and as part of the settlement, there was a certain amount that had to be designated for sending,
and that's why it's shown on the map. So I think that additional language relates to the display of
the sending lands on the map.
MR. WEEKS: If I could add to that.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: The preceding sentence makes reference to that settlement agreement, and
in that settlement agreement, a specified number of acres was to be changed to sending lands;
however, through the Comprehensive Plan amendment that established this overlay, a different
acreage figure was changed from receiving to sending.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: So that's to make clear the distinction between what the settlement
agreement required and what actually occurred.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's a satisfactory explanation for my purposes. Thank you.
Then I go to Page 53 of the packet and 42 of the staff report. Again, the word "presently."
The historical, sort of, Oxford English meaning of "presently" is in the near future, but some
dictionaries now recognize the modern colloquial as a secondary meaning "at present." But
that -- but that -- I think you're better off using "at present" rather than "presently" in No. 1, urban
design -- urban designation, the third-to-last line where it says, "Not all areas presently receive
central utilities." I would prefer to see "at present." It clears up an ambiguity.
MR. WEEKS: Okay. I found it. Will do.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Okay. I go to 71 of the packet, 60 of the staff report. It says -- and this -- this is in the
affordable housing bonus by right, and it says, "The Land Development Code shall be amended to
implement this provision." Straightforward enough.
This is a drafting style that I'm asking about. Has the Board of County Commissioners
mandated itself in other provisions of the GMP to do something? If so, I'm fine with it. If this is
new, then let's talk about it.
MR. WEEKS: Yes, the Board has. There are instances where the Board has adopted
language in the Growth Management Plan that will specifically indicate what they must do or shall
do. In other cases it's "encourage" or, within a certain time period, "consider" and other more
vague terms, but yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay, thank you. That's all I needed to know. And I'm coming
to the end here.
Okay. That's all I have, and no one else is signaling at this point. I'll ask, any planning
commissioners want to be heard on this? Okay. Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just a follow-up on some of the comments that you've been
discussing. Just to make sure for the record, it does reference some changes to maps on the
activity centers. Again, you said there are no changes that affect densities or anything like that.
So the map changes aren't moving boundaries or anything like that? They're giving the ability to
move the boundaries but not change the density of the activity center.
MR. WEEKS: There are -- there's at least one instance of where an activity center
5.A.b

boundary is changing. That happens to be at the Airport/Immokalee Road intersection. It's a
minor change on the north side of Immokalee Road north of Piper Boulevard. It's reflecting the
PUD zoning that's in place. So it's aligning the boundary of the activity center, a minor adjustment
to follow the boundaries of the commercial PUD zoning.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I assumed that was -- the answer was that it's not making any
changes. But I just saw that section that said changes to the activity center mapping.
MR. WEEKS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good question and good answer, yeah. Thank you.
All right. So no one else is signaling at this point. I'm going to ask, do we have any
registered speakers?
MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Chair, we have no registered speakers.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much. Anything further from staff?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, the matter then comes to us for action.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Very good. And with that, the Chair recognizes
Mr. Arnold.
MR. ARNOLD: Good morning. I'm Wayne Arnold, a certified planner with Grady
Minor & Associates. I'm here representing Collier County through our subcontract with Davidson
Engineering. And I'm not sure Brian DeLony's in the room, but Brian DeLony's our contact
through Facilities Management and can answer some specific questions comprehensively about the
overall project if you have some.
The project itself is -- really was initiated because of the veterans' nursing home and the
progression that that's made. I'm sure you all have heard the Board of County Commissioners
discuss their interest in having the veterans home here and the State efforts to get it to be located
here.
So this was initiated to really re-establish the location for the veterans facility. Once the
BigShots golf course recreation complex went away as a use, this opened up the site to allow the
veterans home to be relocated on the property, which necessitated most of the changes we're
talking about, but there were a couple of other cleanup items that we wanted to take care of that,
through the other amendments, we didn't have the luxury. If you recall, the last time you saw this
project was for the possible conversion of the hotel to allow for residential uses on the old hotel
property that is also part of the PUD. So we're making some changes, and I'll explain those as we
move along.
Okay. That's not advancing for me.
I got it. Thank you. So on the screen is the image of the overall Golden Gate Golf
Course master plan, and it stretches from Collier Boulevard on the east along Golden Gate
Parkway and then south to the Golden Gate Canal.
So the project -- part of project was in a special subdistrict that was created under the
Golden Gate Master Plan, part of it then was part of the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, and then
all of the property was rezoned to a mixed-use planned development.
So today what we've done is incorporated some of those revisions to codify the document
from the last 2023 amendment that dealt with the hotel conversion. We're asking for two new
deviations relating to the golf course. We're relocating the public-use tract by essentially deleting
it, and then we're relocating the community-facility tract that would have the nursing home.
There's a greenway deviation that I'll get to in a moment. There's a pro shop deviation,
which we're not sure, in consulting with staff, that were absolutely necessary. There's a provision
that is in the golf course zoning district designation that limits the size of clubhouses. And in this
facility that will house the nine-hole public golf course as well as the First Tee group that will have
a training facility, they need a clubhouse that is a little bit larger than that standard. So we
thought, out of caution, we would ask for the deviation so it was clear that somebody wouldn't try
to relate it back to the old golf course zoning.
As I mentioned, we're expanding the community-facility tract from 8.3 acres to a little over
26 acres to accommodate the veterans nursing home, and we've added a new access point for the
nursing home on Collier Boulevard. And we've also revised some tree calculations that you'll see
on our master plan. This, I think, was an initial -- this was the original intent-to-convert golf
course project. This was the first one that has gone through the process, and they included all trees
on the golf course as part of the conversion for tree preservation. That probably shouldn't have
been the case, so we're going back and cleaning that up.
So Ms. Cook and her staff took the tree inventory that was prepared for the project,
isolated the areas that were converted from those that were not, and we came up with a new tree
preservation count that's based on that analysis.
So here's your approved master plan. And in the northeast corner of your page, which was
really the northwest corner of the project, is the public-use tract. That's being deleted because that
will become part of the golf course area, and then you can see the community-facility tract, which
is in sort of the southern portion of the tract, and it's in this area.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 119 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 12 of 85
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Sorry. North -- okay. You've got north is --
MR. ARNOLD: North is to your right, yes, sir. That's Golden Gate Parkway that's right
here.
So the community-facility tract is located here. And on the next slide, you'll see that the
community-facility tract has grown significantly to come all the way over to Collier Boulevard, and
then the public-use tract, which was up in the northwest corner of the site, becomes part of the golf
course again. And then here's the new access point that we're adding for the facility, and it's
envisioned to have an access point that takes it all the way out to Golden Gate Parkway.
We have a lot of changes. I can go through as many details as you'd like to walk you
through some of these, or I can just sort of make my way through the presentation and then come
back as you all may have questions, whatever your preference. But I think, starting to look at the
more specifics of the site, this is still a conceptual plan, but this shows you the latest concept image
for how the veterans nursing home would fit into the project. So you can see its relationship to the
hotel still keeping large portions of green space around it in this concept.
This is the golf course routing plan that Arthrex provided to us that's going through review
with the county, and you can see that they've now taken advantage up in this area that was the
public-use tract, and they've re-established a couple of greens and fairway up in this area.
And then this area down -- that connects next to the nursing home still remains part of the
golf course, but it's largely going to be rough and a golf cart crossing for the carts to connect the
two holes. And then the larger component that's going to be part of their project will be the
clubhouse, parking, the First Tee organization, and then a driving range. And it's my
understanding that the veterans home is being designed so that they can have possibly some use of
the driving range from that side, too. So that would be a nice asset for them.
And then -- so to bring it sort of all together, what you have is -- I showed you the nursing
home, I showed you the golf course, and then going to construction in just another month will be
the Renaissance project which was the affordable housing component that was previously approved
for the project.
So it is permitted and ready to go, and I think the Board has dealt with a couple of funding
issues related to it, but it's really on its way.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Before you dive into greater detail, which may or may not be
necessary, I want to ask the Planning Commission how much detail we want to hear. I believe I'm
thoroughly familiar with this project, and I'm not going to -- I don't think I'm going to have any
questions or comments, but I don't want to preempt any member of the Planning Commission who
might.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I just have one question.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Do you want to ask it now?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Well, since we -- just to kind of appease my mind here, when
we did the affordable housing one, we had the environmental issue when we tested the soil.
MR. ARNOLD: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: When they tested the soil, did they test it on the whole site so
we know this area here doesn't have any contaminated soil, or it's already in the plan to remediate
it?
MR. ARNOLD: One of the other things that's in here as one of our conditions that it's
going to allow us -- technically, I think the county can do it, but they wanted to make it clear that
fill can be removed from the site and taken to other county property. It's my understanding that
there's arsenic in other places other than just under the affordable housing site. I believe they're
capping it there, so they're bringing in additional fill to cap the contaminated soil. Not possible
necessarily with the golf course or the veterans home, so there's a provision that we added that will
allow for offsite removal of that material to other county --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But they haven't tested it to know what's there yet?
MR. ARNOLD: Mr. DeLony is indicating that it has been tested.

COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MR. ARNOLD: And I'll give you more information if you'd like.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: That's fine. I just didn't want any surprises.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And good question, and that also reminds me that we're going to
have to act as the EAC on this as well as on the LDC amendment.
Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Wayne, the location of the driving range, it's fairly close
to Collier Boulevard, especially -- I mean, seriously, most people who play golf know that the
majority of people that have a bad swing typically --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Are you talking about me?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No, you're left-handed.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'm talking about Brian's dad. Don't tell him I said that.
Brian's dad and I served together in the Army, so we go way back.
Is there going to be a net along there or some -- I would have to believe they're going to put
up poles and a net, won't they? But it doesn't show on there. I'm just saying from an architect's
standpoint, it's something you guys need to look at.
MR. ARNOLD: Well, one of the things that -- if you recall, the prior plan allowed the
BigShots golf facility, which is similar to a Topgolf concept, it was going to have large netting
along there. We left the language in that allows there to be netting as high as 200 feet along that
portion of Golden Gate Parkway.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I just wanted to --
MR. ARNOLD: Or it's Collier Boulevard.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, it's typical a slice prone will be into Collier
Boulevard, and so -- just so the folks know that there may be a net up there.
MR. ARNOLD: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Joe, you never played with me. How'd you know that was
my problem?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I have a question now. Is it -- does it allow for or require
netting?
MR. ARNOLD: I don't know the answer to that. We've made provisions for it. I think
most golf courses do provide some sort of safety netting. There are standards for golf course
design for errant tee shots, et cetera. So you lay out those templates when you design the golf
course. And I don't know -- Brian, you may know more than I do about the Arthrex plan. But I
would be shocked if they did not include some form of netting. It may not be 200 feet high, but
there may be some form of netting.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I just don't want it to be a surprise. And it needs to -- the
language needs to be in there because it -- that's the only place on the golf course that, I mean,
could be a potential safety problem, especially to people on Collier Boulevard.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Would staff have any problem if we added a condition that there
be adequate netting?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I think it's only if the -- it's deemed required. I mean,
that's up -- that's up to the architect.
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, not a -- I'm not a golf architect or -- I
don't -- who's the architect for this, you said; Arthrex?
MR. ARNOLD: Arthrex --
MR. BOSI: Arthrex is the sponsor.
MR. ARNOLD: -- is the -- yeah. Arthrex was -- was selected by the County
Commission to be the golf course developer, and they will operate it under a foundation. That's
my understanding.

Page 14 of 85
But the language that's there, it's on Page 179 of your agenda packet. It's Page 6 of 20 in
the PUD document. And it's a footnote to the Development Standards Table that says netting and
supporting infrastructure for golf driving range are exempt from maximum height limitations but
will not exceed 200 feet, and then there's also a parking lot lighting standard as well.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I don't mind deferring to experts as to whether such a thing
is necessary, but right now the language doesn't do that, and I think before we pass on this, we
would want to either defer to an appropriate third party expert's opinion or put in a requirement of a
condition.
MR. ARNOLD: Well, the only thing I would say -- and I'll defer to the County Attorney's
Office for this -- we're not specifically modifying that golf course Development Standards Table.
That hasn't been something that's been proposed through the process. We are -- we're relocating
the golf course tract to replace the public-use tract, but we were not necessarily -- I put this
configuration in here for the benefit of you so you could see kind of the whole picture of what's
happening for the overall project.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, I understand that, but the Vice Chairman raised a potential
safety issue. I don't think we can just blow that off, whether it's existing language or not.
MR. ARNOLD: Understood.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: If the county's retaining ownership -- is the county retaining
ownership, and then Arthrex is operating it?
MR. ARNOLD: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So the county does have control over the netting that goes in as
the owner.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: In your view, is that sufficient for safety purposes?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can I -- safety, there's two things. You get -- you worry
about hitting balls. Well, I can tell you during Hurricane Irma, our safety nets came down, the
whole thing. And I'd hate to see something -- so I think it needs to be appropriately designed not
just to contain golf balls, but to weather a hurricane or procedures for taking it down before the
hurricane comes, like you would do with a crane boom.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. When this was going to be -- when it was going
to be Topgolf, Topgolf serious -- they have serious poles. I mean, you've seen it driving up
towards Tampa, or even in Fort Myers.
The driving range going down Collier Boulevard down towards Marco Island, the
only -- the last driving range, that has netting up, and it did, some of it blew done, because it was
up by wooden poles.
But this shows trees along the side as well, and other golf courses do use trees to sort of
mitigate and create a safety barrier, as I look at this. So I would -- again, I have to leave it up to
the county. They're going to operate it. They're the one that -- somebody's -- if somebody has
damage, the deep pocket is the county. That's who they're going to go after legally.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yeah, but they don't have very deep pockets. Statutory
limits, so you can't --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But I have to say that it really has to be up to how they
design this and the golf course architect who will describe and basically validate who signs off on
this and validates whether there's a safety concern. I just noted it, because this is not the same
location where the range was going to be originally.
MR. ARNOLD: It's a little farther south. The other range was just a little bit farther
north into the nursing home site.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Where the nursing home is, right.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I guess I --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, I'd put language in there.

COMMISSIONER SHEA: I would.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: He's got the -- he's got the option. And if they deem it's
not needed, then it's not needed. I'm not going to -- I don't think we need -- I need to stipulate that.
It's required.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: What about we add a condition that the county shall
evaluate -- "the county itself, or through a third-party expert, shall evaluate the necessity of putting
up netting and act accordingly," something to that effect.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Appropriately designed netting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. ARNOLD: Mr. Chairman, if I might?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
MR. ARNOLD: Staff just pointed out language that is in your general commitments for
the project, and it's Item 1E of your developer commitments in the PUD document, and it says, "At
the time of plat or Site Development Plan, the applicant shall provide errant golf ball netting or
other engineering solutions for development in the golf course tract limited to the golf course and
driving range. This shall include signed and sealed engineering drawings, including but not
limited to, the proposed location layout plans, errant golf ball device design, and details to ensure
that no golf balls exit the golf tract."
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's perfect.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Perfect.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Thank you. I guess, thank you, Mr. Sawyer.
Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'm done. They took care of it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea, done also?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I just wish there was more language on the structural part of
it, but I guess that's a design issue.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. So no one else is signaling. May I infer from that that
the Planning Commission doesn't need to hear more detail, or do we want to hear more detail?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: This is the third time, at least, that this thing has been
before us. I think we're very familiar with the details. The changes are to accommodate the
veterans home but also based on the direction of the Board of County Commissioners when they
validated the potential lease for this, so I'm fine with it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Then let's see if we have any registered speakers and
then --
MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Chair, we have no registered speakers that are in person. We do,
however, have one person on Zoom.

MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Cannon.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, we can. Go ahead, sir.
MR. CANNON: Thank you. Good morning. I'm Bill Cannon, 169 Fleur De Lis Lane
in Naples.
I've been following Golden Gate Golf Course conversion since it is the first use of the golf
course conversion rules of the Land Development Code Section 5.05.15.
In particular, I was interested in how Collier County, as a developer, treated greenways. I
see in their current application, which is the one you're currently looking at, they asked for a
deviation on a greenway total percentage of area. I also noted that the master plan submitted with
this application had greenways of 100-foot width, 81-foot width, 69-foot width, and 29-foot width.
I have followed many of the submittals that Collier County made on the development of
5.A.b

Page 16 of 85
golf course -- Golden Gate Golf Course conversion. Have not heard any discussion of seeking
approval of the less than 100-foot greenways from the Board of County Commissioners. This is
allowed by the Land Development Code 5.05.15, Section G.2.A. The most I found was recorded,
I believe, a PUD presentation to the Collier County Planning Commission wherein the presenter
began to address greenways but was interrupted by a commissioner, and the discussion was never
completed.
I believe that this PUD was approved by the Collier County Planning Commission and
subsequently presented to and approved by the consent agenda -- on the consent agenda by the
Board of County Commissioners. My concern here is that if the nine 100-foot greenways have
never been formally presented to the Collier County Planning Commission and the BCC, they
should be listed as additional deviations in today's presentation. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much.
Mr. Arnold, did you want to reply?
MR. ARNOLD: Sure. You and the Board of County Commissioners have approved the
greenway configuration that's in place today. The deviation that we're requesting is simply
because the public-use tract is growing in size. That technically would require additional
greenway as a percentage of the site, but the relationship of the community-facility tract to any
residential use doesn't change. The adding more greenway for the sake of other areas that aren't
being converted made no sense to me and to your staff, and that's why we thought it was
appropriate to ask for that deviation.
The other configuration -- to talk about the dimensional criteria, there are changes that
don't require deviations. The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to approve
alternate designs for the greenway, and that's what they did in this case.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. I noticed that the greenway provisions that are in this
project are more stringent than what would become available to developers if we approve the
language that comes up at the last agenda item. How would those two provisions live with one
another?
MR. ARNOLD: I'll defer to Mr. Bosi, who's had his hand in writing those new
provisions.
MR. BOSI: The new provisions that provide for the ultimate ability for the Board of
County Commissioners to provide for deviations to what's being proposed is the same -- the same
concept that's being -- that's embraced by this PUD. This PUD doesn't maintain as it -- when this
PUD was approved, the requirement for the 100-foot deviation with a minimum 75-foot were in
place. Those aren't maintained throughout this golf course. There's modifications. There's
deviations that have been approved, originally, when it was amended previously, of last year, and
as proposed today.
So the ability for the Board of County Commissioners to deviate from what's required from
the golf course conversion process has been embraced by this PUD at every turn that has been
provided and before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And I don't object to it in this situation because it really is
more stringent than what we're going to ask to be approved, and I'll give you a preview. I have
some real problems with the greenway -- the average greenway concept and the Board's so-called
absolute discretion to change that, but we'll come to that in the last hearing of the day. But for
purposes of this matter, I'm fine with -- I'm fine with that, and I'm going to ask if other planning
commissioners feel otherwise.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Ms. Rojas, when you come up, would you tell us if
you've been sworn in, and if not, we'll take care of that. Have you been sworn in?
MS. ROJAS: Not yet.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MS. ROJAS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And state your name, please, and then we'd like to hear from you.
MS. ROJAS: My name is Maria Rojas.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. ROJAS: And I'm here because it was new for me to receive the letter and -- you
know, for the project. I'm very happy and grateful because the county is doing something for the
community as, the -- you know, the affordable housing, the nursing home.
And I'm very excited, and I do -- I don't know if I'm too far off. This is very new for me.
When I see the plan in here, and I see this is beautiful -- and very, very happy. And my question
is, we -- well, I think there are a few people. I own a few properties in that -- in the corner on the
Collier -- in the Golden Gate Parkway. It's -- they used to be the hotel, you know, in -- but I -- this
is -- I don't know. It later will be meetings where, you know, they're going to contact us, how the
project is going to take care of the -- you know, is it -- because I was reading in here they're going
to be removing everything and take care of -- I mean, using the land for the project. So I'm -- I
don't know if I'm off. This is new for me, so I want to see if we'll be meeting later, how they're
going to explain how is it going to go, the project.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. And we'll ask for an explanation. Thank you for
your questions/comments.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can she -- can you show us where your land is so we know
just --
MS. ROJAS: You know the --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can you just touch the map.
MR. ARNOLD: I think it's right here.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Upper right, I think. Oh, lower right.
MS. ROJAS: I'm here and over here somewhere. I have a few -- 12 units in there.
MR. ARNOLD: Ma'am, do you own part of the condominiums that are existing?
MS. ROJAS: Yes.
MR. ARNOLD: Okay. Those are located -- and they're not part of the PUD. They're
located right here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: That's that -- that's what I thought.
MR. ARNOLD: It's another part of the project that -- not part of the project, but if you
drive out there, you would think it would be part of it, but it was not part of the hotel complex and
not part of the county's ownership.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Does that answer your question?
MS. ROJAS: Yes. So that mean they won't touch those?
MR. ARNOLD: That's correct. No change for you.
MS. ROJAS: So we get no changes. So we're going to keep those, and we don't have to
worry about it?
MR. ARNOLD: No, not as part of this action, not at all.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Is she -- are you worried about what's happening around you
or just what's happening to you?
MS. ROJAS: No, no. Around, no --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MS. ROJAS: -- you know, but when I see that -- and I thought because it's going to

be -- you know, if the project is going to be expanding because it is all -- it's going to have
beautiful buildings in there, and we're going to have it all, you know, hotel, whatever they call it
before -- or complex in there, and we thought that it will be part of the other project. They're
going to use the land to be able to complete the project.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you for your questions and comments. They were good
ones, and I hope you've been assured, then, that since you're not part of this PUDA, that it's not
going to affect you.
MS. ROJAS: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Heaven only knows what might happen in the future in another
rezone hearing, but that's not -- that's not before us today, and nothing's going to happen as an
outcome -- nothing's going to happen to your properties as an outcome of our action.
MS. ROJAS: Okay. That's --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: If I can ask something.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go right ahead.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Is your worry that the county may come and say we need
to take your land? Is that -- is that a concern or --
MS. ROJAS: Yeah. Well, if will -- they will, you know, take our land, they're going to
compensate to do something.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right, right.
MS. ROJAS: That will be, you know, just up to the county. We don't have to -- you
know, they have a project and people agreed to. And to do something better, you know --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. But I'm just trying to --
MS. ROJAS: Everything is welcome.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I'm trying to figure out whether you have a specific worry,
or you just want to make sure you're kept -- you keep up with what's going on? And you have
a -- are able to attend meetings, or did you have a specific concern?
MS. ROJAS: I was -- you know, like, when I see the letter, I thought, but I have no idea
what it was, you know, how is the project laid out, you know. They say they're going to -- I keep
calling few people, and they say they're going to have a nursing home and couple things, or
buildings in there. But -- and they say they're going to take whole -- the whole thing. That's why
I say, okay, so I better go to the meeting and see what's, you know --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay.
MS. ROJAS: Because we thought -- I thought they going to be -- they going to take the
whole land, you know.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But now you understand --
MS. ROJAS: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: -- that it's not --
MS. ROJAS: They're not going to touch it.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So you're good?
MS. ROJAS: Yeah, I'm good. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I just want to make sure.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you for being here this morning, ma'am.
MR. ARNOLD: And Planning Commission members, I put back up the aerial
photograph, you can see along Golden Gate Parkway there's a piece of the aerial that's not yellow.
That's the condominiums that are not part of the project.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I was confused because the other -- the other photo didn't have

Uh-oh. It may take more than 25 minutes.
MS. JAHN: Hopefully not. It's funny I was as -- this is Mattaniah Jahn, 935 Main Street,
Suite C4, Safety Harbor, Florida, 34695. And I was actually discussing my love of paper with one
of my witnesses this morning, and very early on -- not to take too much of the morning -- I used to
come up with all these paper files and put paper under the Elmo until a friend of mine showed me a
video of me setting up on the Sarasota lectern, and I just -- I was laying everything out. She said,
"Take a look at this. Like, imagine how you look there. You're kind of in the last century." And
then she remarked how ironic that was given that I'm a cell tower attorney.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good point.
MS. JAHN: But, unfortunately, I can be a bit of an old soul. Anyways, I'm Matt -- as I
said, I'm Mattaniah Jahn, and I have taken an oath. I have Bill Compton with Verizon Wireless;
he has taken an oath as well. And Olga Maffeo, an RF engineer with T-Mobile, and she has taken
an oath.
As your materials state, I come before you today with staff recommendation of approval to
allow a conditional use to authorize 180-foot-tall monopine-style communication tower upon
Parcel 04171120002, and the parent parcel is partially cleared land and partially a single-family
home that is owned by our landlord.
And just to clear up parties, the tower company that is developing this is Bridger Tower
Corporation. They are developing it on behalf of Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and AT&T. So
we have three carriers who are planning to collocate on this tower.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: With the potential for a fourth, I take it?
MS. JAHN: Yes, sir. So I'm showing -- in all maps I show you today, up will be north
unless I state otherwise.
And I'm currently showing you a Property Appraiser aerial of the area around Oil Well
Road and Everglades Boulevard. You can see Immokalee Road off to the west. It's the
yellow -- it is the yellow line that curves off. You can see Oil Well Road running east/west, and
then there's a white line that runs north/south. It's not as pronounced. That's Everglades
Boulevard.
And just to help give a little bit of a contextual primer for how communication towers
work in the Estates, your code, when you open it up, encourages having towers -- places towers
along these corridors. You have to have qualifying parcels in the Estates in that they have to have
frontage along these roads. So you would expect towers along Everglades Boulevard, Oil Well
Road, and the like.
I've added a yellow arrow pointing to the approximate -- pointing to the location of the
parent parcel, and that's located at the northeast intersection of Everglades and 31st Avenue
Northeast. As we get in closer -- and this is a closer Property Appraiser aerial -- the parent parcel
is highlighted in yellow, and I am applying a yellow arrow. You can see Oil Well Road running
east and west, and off to the northeast, you can see the Sky Sail RSA project. Way off to the east
outside is Big Cypress, and then immediately to the west of our parent parcel -- and our parent
parcel actually runs under half of it -- is Everglades Boulevard.
So to the north are ranchettes on Estates lots, and you have 33 Avenue Northeast and then
Oil Well Road. And, of course, as you go north, you've got some retention ponds and then more
ranchettes in the Estates.
To the south you have 31st Avenue Northeast, and then ranchettes in the Estates. Of
course, as you go to the east, you move to non-qualifying parcels for tower purposes, and that's all
ranchettes in the Estates, and as you go west, you hit Everglades Boulevard, and then ranchettes in
the Estates as you move further out.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: What does the term "ranchette" mean? I know what a ranch
house is.
MS. JAHN: I apologize for the colloquialism. It might be a Midwestern influence from
spending summers in Crawfordsville, Indiana. But, basically, a ranchette is a small house -- a
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 128 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 21 of 85
small house by today's standards. I mean, you can go out to Atlanta and find mansions that are
huge, right? But are houses that are on a bit of land, so you've got some space around you. So
you could have outbuildings or the like, but they're not particularly farmland, per se.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: And then here's our closer view. Again, you can see the houses on
those -- you can see those houses on those Estates lots, and you can see the extra space, which is
why I'm referring to them as ranchettes. This is the landlord. The landlord owns this house off to
the west. It's my understanding that his daughter actually lives there. The area to the east is the
cleared land, and the middle of that is where you're going to see the monopine.
This is your zoning GIS just showing that we're zoned Estates. And then your future
land-use designation is Estates as well.
I'm now showing you Sheet Z3 from the parent -- from the plans on record. And, of
course, this project qualifies as an essential service for -- under your LDC because wireless
communication providers provide 911 locationing services. So all three of the service providers
that will be collocating on this tower are part of the E911 system and then, of course, you may
have -- you may recall from prior presentations that AT&T is part of the FirstNet network.
For anyone needing context on that, FirstNet is a federally encouraged public/private
partnership for basically creating a secondary first responders network as a backup to your 700,
800 megahertz system. So it basically has phones that connect on separate channels for first
responders only.
Of course, this area is a known dead zone. Just, again, providing my own personal
context, when I was here before you back in 2021, I believe, for the Green Boulevard tower -- it
may be 2020 -- the area in and around Oil Well Road was showing up on the news as a dead zone.
There it was more -- because the concentration was more around the Publix off by Immokalee
Road, that's where more of the complaints were, but this area is a known dead zone, I would
respectfully submit to you.
The monopine provides the required 50 percent tower height separations from
Estates-zoned land. And basically the way your tower code works, as it -- as it stands today is that
if this was an uncamouflaged tower, you'd have to provide 100 percent tower height separation
from residentially zoned properties, so the Estates-zoned properties. And if you go camouflage,
such as the monopine, it becomes 50 percent.
So to the north, you have 147 feet, or 1.6 times tower height separation. To the east, 197,
or 2.1 times -- I'm sorry. Not tower height; 2.1 times the code-required 50 percent separation. To
the south you have 177 feet, or 1.9 times the code-required separation. To the west, you have
477 feet, or 5.3 times the code-required 50 percent tower height separation.
Just to take and also discuss this -- unfortunately I'm using that word "context"
again -- within the context of your code specifically in spirit. If you were to look at this
comparing to the 100 percent tower height separation, when you look at it, while it wouldn't meet it
to the lot lines, it would exceed that separation to the nearest residential structures in all directions
with the closest residential structure being the house that the landlord owns on that -- on his own
property.
So this meets both the letter -- I would respectfully submit that this exceeds both the letter
and the spirit of your Land Development Code.
You will notice that there is a square in the middle that's white. That is the equipment
compound, and there is adequate space for up to four carriers. It is enclosed by an 8-foot-tall
concrete, architecturally finished masonry wall as required by your code. And then around that,
you can see a shaded area; that is the code-required 15-foot landscape buffer.
In the very middle is the monopine, in that little circle, and then you can see a wider circle.
That is a hundred and -- that is 130-foot fall zone radius. And just for the benefit of the record,
fall-zone technology is essentially a pre-engineered crimp point that would allow the monopine to
fold over upon itself. I'm not reinventing any wheels here. This is known technology. Usually
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 129 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 22 of 85
I -- the story that I give for an example of that are the interstate lights on Kings Highway when -- in
2004 when Charley came through, all those lights were folded over at the same height because they
all had fall-zone technology to keep them out of the travel lanes.
This is just a closer view of the compound to show that there's adequate space for four
carriers. Of course, Verizon's equipment is depicted. You can see also around it a darker gray
line. It's not quite as evident. That's the concrete wall. And then outside of that is the
code-required landscape buffer.
This is an elevation of the monopine just showing that it's designed as a tree. I'm not
really bringing any new designs into this. This is the -- I would respectfully submit, or I would
hope that it is a known quantity at this point in Collier County. It's been deployed at the Wilson
Professional Center as well as at 4111 Green Boulevard in my personal experience, and it also
came before the HEX at Cracklin' Jack's.
Essentially, the design is a monopole underneath that's been structurally -- that's been
designed to be beefier, essentially, and larger, so that way cables are routed inside of the monopine
itself, and then it supports a pre-engineered foliated canopy that extends to the top of the -- that
extends up in the top -- the upper portion of the monopine.
The antennas are nestled on platforms, nestled inside of the canopy itself, and then the
antennas are also covered with socks that are foliated to help them better blend in. And you can
see that there are four -- there are four collocation centers. You have Verizon and then, of course,
AT&T and T-Mobile shown below.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea has a question.
MS. JAHN: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just so I understand -- so there are no support wires with this?
MS. JAHN: That is correct.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: And there's no break in the mid -- so if it goes down, the
whole thing, it goes down the entire length of the height, right? There's not a break -- a weak point
created in the middle of it so if it was going to go down during bad weather, if it would break in
half or something like that? The whole tower would go down.
MS. JAHN: This is Mattaniah Jahn. And I apologize for lack of clarity. That is not the
case. This is designed with a breakpoint in it.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Oh, it does. Okay.
MS. JAHN: Yes. So, essentially, the -- it's designed to fold over and be contained within
130 feet of the base.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: This had -- just to provide a little bit of history on this site, it had originally
been a lattice-style communication tower, and as a product of our neighborhood information
meeting that we held in February, we were asked to convert to a monopine. I took three months
talking that through with Bridger and the carriers, and we're happy to be able to say that we have
come back and are providing a monopine instead of a lattice. Just as a very quick reference, the
Olympics are going on. You know the Eiffel Tower. Lattice is, like, a less pretty version of that.
Running through photo simulations. So this one is from the intersection of Everglades
Boulevard and Oil Well. You can see the monopine sticking up there.
You can see it from -- the next view is from 33rd Avenue Northeast looking south.
My fourth location is 31st Avenue Northeast, and this is looking north up the driveway.
My fifth location -- and I did skip my third. I apologize. I can dig out -- unfortunately,
this copy doesn't have the third version, or the third simulation, which is down the street, which
basically shows the monopine sticking up over the canopy, but you can't see the base.
Location 5, Everglades Boulevard and 29th Avenue Northeast looking north.
Location 6, you can see the house that's owned by the landlord in the foreground. This is
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 130 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 23 of 85
at the intersection of Everglades and 31st and then as you move further away Everglades Boulevard
to the west looking northeast. And then this is from Oil Well Road looking southeast.
Moving into RF need, the monopine is designed to support four carriers, and this monopine
has three initial carriers, as I stated before: Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
So I'm currently showing Verizon's existing tower map from the RF package that is on file,
and you can see that there's a number of towers labeled A through I. And this shows the location
these neighboring towers are trying to serve. They're trying to serve this portion of the Estates,
and this might also help explain why there's still a dead zone here. So you've got locations -- the
handoffs are pretty far away. You're up on Immokalee Road after it goes east/west, you're out in
Ave Maria, you're out east of Ave Maria.
As we move around south, you're down towards the south end of the Estates down
near -- there's a test track down there near the interstate. Of course, you have the Naples Park
tower. You may remember that from a few years ago.
And then you have sites over towards the east. One site that's shown as Z with a red dot is
the Golden Gate Boat site, and that one, my understanding is that it's still in your Site Development
Plan process, so it hasn't come on air yet, but we have shown it in our propagation maps to show
that once it's on air, it wouldn't solve this gap.
So this is just Verizon's general area based on their network conditions today where they
could place the monopine and be able to meet their gaps or meet their RF objectives. Of course,
you overlay that with T-Mobile and AT&T and end up with a location that works for all three.
So here is Verizon's -- here's Verizon's proposed coverage, and they're currently showing
capacity band. That's what takes and catches all the traffic, and that's very important as the Estates
continues to build out. So you can think of it much like how Orlando's -- or Orlando residents
think of I-4, right? Coverage is the fact that the interstate's there. Capacity is whether it has
enough lanes or managed traffic solutions on it to actually handle the traffic, and that's the
concurrency battle that the carriers are always fighting, just like you are fighting as the county
continues to grow and expand.
Again, you can see the neighboring towers. So we've got Immokalee Road. We've got
our two Ave Maria towers. The one off to the east is the one that is carrying the capacity bands.
And then as you move around south, of course, you've got the one down by I-75, Naples Park.
You can also see where Golden Gate Boat will be. So this is just showing the network as it stands.
And then you can see the network showing it with the -- with the Everglades and 31st
Boulevard, the Palmetto Ridge 2 tower with the blue dot. And you can see that coverage greatly
improves along Oil Well Road and as you proceed south into the Estates, which is where you're
trying to serve, and you can also see Golden Gate Boat off to the southwest.
AT&T has stated that they're supportive. They provided the area where they are willing
to -- where the tower would work for them, so this is their search area. It basically centers on the
intersection of Everglades Boulevard and Oil Well Road.
Unfortunately, they didn't give me coverage maps, so I don't have color-coded maps for
AT&T to show you, but I do have their letter of intent and also their search ring showing their
place -- their -- what you would have previously called a lesser effective radius.
And then we have T-Mobile. So you can see T-Mobile -- this is a map showing
T-Mobile's network, and you can see that they're basically on the same towers as Verizon. You
know, you're over by Oil Well Road. You are up off of Immokalee east/west, Ave Maria east,
down by the test -- I'm going to continue to call that the test track site, and I apologize. Of course,
our proposed tower is the red marker.
And, you know, you're looking at distances ranging between a minimum of 3.6 miles and a
maximum of 9.04 miles with 5. -- 5 and a half up to the northwest and 8 and a half down to the
southeast. So these are pretty far spread apart.
This is AT&T's existing coverage, and this is showing their 4G coverage is trying to get
signal out there, trying to put the road in, essentially.

And green is reliable, and blue is no service. There's some signal that the phone can see,
but it's not usable. And you can see where the tower's located. The area around it has no signal.
There might be some that would register, but it isn't usable, and then the rest just isn't. There's
nothing.
And then you can see the proposed coverage, and you can see the area -- this portion of the
Estates picks up strong coverage.
Are there any questions on the RF materials at this point? I do have my RF engineers
available.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I just have some general questions. And, you
know, as an old lawyer, you know, part of my job is coaching and mentoring folks at my firm. So
I want to -- I appreciate good legal work. You're extremely well prepared and, you know, I think
we need more land-use lawyers in this town, and you're -- you just -- you're very organized.
But one of the problems with somebody as efficient and organized as you, you throw out a
lot of information. I was having a hard time keeping up because I didn't prepare well enough for
this. So I want to cover stuff you've already covered, and it's really just about safety and
maintenance.
So the breakpoint, it will drop 130 feet. Maybe -- I don't know, maybe pull up whatever
slide you want to put up, because I just want to talk about distances and safety.
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. So I'm going to start by taking --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's a good one, yeah.
MS. JAHN: -- us back to Sheet Z3. And I don't know if this will let me zoom in.
Maybe if I step out of -- actually, there might be a zoom button here.
All right. So we're on Sheet Z3, and I'm zoomed in on the eastern side. Where may I
start, sir?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And 1.2, is that the closest one? You have, like, four
green spots.
MS. JAHN: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. So 1.21 is the closest one?
MS. JAHN: The closest one is actually the landlord's house, but -- he's the landlord.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But he's approving of this, so I'm not worried about him.
I mean, he likes it. So let's talk about the 1.2. Show me what -- it's going to break, and where is
it going to land?
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. So 1.2, it's 222 feet. The monopole is 180 feet, so it's
physically impossible -- even if it did not have fall-zone technology, it would be physically
impossible for that monopine to reach the house. It would have to cartwheel. And I would
respectfully --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But you could reach their property line, though?
MS. JAHN: It could, if it did not have fall-zone technology.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Which is, when you say "fall-zone technology," it breaks
in the middle, as Commissioner Shea said.
MS. JAHN: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. What -- what is to keep it connected if it breaks in
the middle?
MS. JAHN: So it has to do with the way the thickness of the wall is engineered and,
essentially, it's a crimp point.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay.
MS. JAHN: So it's -- basically, in that spot, the stresses cause it to fold.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So it doesn't just snap off and --
MS. JAHN: No, sir.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: What is the -- estimate, if you know. What does the

whole thing weigh?
MS. JAHN: I don't know the weight of it. I could, if you wanted to take -- if Chair Fryer
wants to take that midmorning break, I can probably call up a project manager and figure it out.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Let's -- let me see if we can get through it without that,
and if everybody else wants to know, too, we'll do that, but --
MS. JAHN: Understood.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. So it's a crimp, so it's not just going to fly off.
MS. JAHN: No, sir.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. And then the other thing is less important, but I
don't understand the concept of, well, if you make it pretty, we're going to reduce the safety
distance, which seems to be what the rule is, I think, if I understand it. But that's not for you to
answer.
But I do have a question: What does this thing look like in 10 years? Do you have a duty
to maintain it? Is it going to look like a 10-year-old metal thing that used to look like a tree and
now looks worse than just a pole?
MS. JAHN: Yes. So that's a very good question. And, of course, the monopine design,
you know, came from -- the monopine design came as a request of our neighbors.
I'm sure Mr. Bosi can discuss the separation being a matter of compatibility as opposed to
safety, given fall-zone technology. But to get more dialed into the canopy, there usually is a
re-foliation requirement. And you did so on the Green Boulevard tower where you put a provision
in there saying that the foliage will be maintained, and then that way your county code enforcement
could act on that as a violation of the conditional use.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Do we have that in your proposal, or do we need to add
that if we want that?
MS. JAHN: You would probably need to add it to the face of your conditional use, but we
would not object to that.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. And then I know you covered this, but again, you
were throwing out a lot of great information, very efficient, in your presentation. It showed you
prepared so well.
But what's the barrier between the lot lines of that -- all of them, but let's just focus on this
one we're looking at. What's the barrier there between the lot line, if any?
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. So at the base here, you have -- of course, you have the
monopole shown in the center, and then you have the white square, which is where your equipment
would be. And I'm taking your question to ask about what's between this white square and the --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: No. I'm saying is there a wall -- again --
MS. JAHN: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Is there a wall -- move to the right -- where the lot line is
between the house and the property? There you go. Right there. What's there, if anything?
MS. JAHN: From -- there is -- as was stated from the gallery, there is a fence there.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Currently.
MS. JAHN: Correct.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Like a 6-foot -- what kind of fence? Do we know?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VOICE: Chain link.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And who maintains that? Whose fence is it?
MS. JAHN: That one, I don't have an answer --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: It's not yours or your client?
MS. JAHN: It's -- no, sir.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VOICE: It's the landowner's.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. Got it. Oh, the landowner, which is the --
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VOICE: Okay with this.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is Ms. Jahn back there?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VOICE: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's okay. You're actually helping. So I'll save that.
She's -- I think she's going to speak.
So -- all right. I think that answers all my questions.
MS. JAHN: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. At this point, I do want to take our midmorning
break, as I warned everyone before we started the hearing. So it's 10:32. We'll be in recess until
10:42.
(A brief recess was had from 10:32 a.m. to 10:42 a.m.)
MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi, for keeping us on clock. I appreciate that.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, and we'll continue.
Let's see. Is Ms. DeJohn -- Ms. Jahn, rather, you have more to say? You're welcome to.
MS. JAHN: I do. This is Mattaniah Jahn, again, for the record.
And just in the break, just to help follow up on at least one of the questions about
maintenance of the canopy -- and I apologize. This wasn't registered on my radar earlier, because
I treat it as my mind filed it away. Your proposed resolution that is in your staff packet actually
already has that as a condition of approval on Exhibit C.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: The re-foliation?
MS. JAHN: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, good.
MS. JAHN: And that's the same condition as was placed on --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: What does it say? How often or as needed, or is it -- what are
the words?
MS. JAHN: Bridge Tower Corporation, its successor or assigns, shall maintain the tower
as a monopine-style tower including, but not limited to, tree branch canopy in good
condition/repair in accordance with the appearance and condition at time of installation.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Good. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's good.
MS. JAHN: All right. So, of course, I've taken you through the fact that I have three
carriers, I've shown you the service maps for Verizon with red being unreliable service and green
being reliable service, and, of course I've shown you T-Mobile's maps. That's based on
150 feet -- their antennas being at 150 feet, which puts them at the third collocation.
Just as housekeeping, and then I will step down so you can move on to hearing from the
public. Of course, we held our NIM on 2/8/24. There's a one-mile notice radius. Fourteen
hundred recipients. I had 13 attendees. We had a variety of topics discussed. The biggest thing
that -- the biggest action item that came out of that for me was a request to change to a monopine,
which we are happy to say that we are able to provide. We revised that design and submitted it in
May.
You'll notice in the record that there's an analysis of properties researches alternates. That
goes back to before this was camouflaged, just to show that they did research in the area.
And then you have your wellhead map. Let me see if I can get out of here. And it went
right back the way it was supposed to.
We are not in the Collier County wellheads. I skipped that. Okay. We do have
Mosquito Control approval, and I'm also going to just finally close with the 911 statistics for
Collier County, and then I also have Orange County.
In 2021, 84 percent of all 911 calls in Collier County came from wireless numbers. That's
not including SMS, which is text. So that's a conservative number. And then Orange County is
89 percent, just to help show an across-the-state picture, at the risk of saying "context" yet again
and turning my presentation into -- and saying -- to use "context" too many times in my

presentation.
I would respectfully submit that underscores the importance that this serves in our
everyday life and why these are essential services.
With that, Bridger Tower Corporation, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T would respectfully
request that you recommend this monopine to the Board Of adjustments as proposed -- as shown in
the staff report and proposed by staff with staff's proposed conditions of approval, and I adopt those
all into my presentation by reference.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Great presentation. Thank you.
MS. JAHN: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Wellfield Protection Zones, can you go over that
real quick. What is it, and why is it diagrammed the way it is?
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. So Wellfield Protection Zones are areas that different
jurisdictions have. So in my home county of Pinellas County, we have Wellfield Protection Zones
up on the north end of our county. And, basically, it's where municipal wells are. And when you
look at your wellfields, what's out there, I believe, is the City of Naples wellfield, and what you're
trying to do is prevent pollution into the wellfield. So things like you wouldn't -- you probably
would not want to put an oil refinery in a Wellfield Protection Zone. You may be cautious to put a
gas station or a field depot in a wellhead protection zone.
Communication towers get a closer look when they're in wellhead protection zones
because that our -- our foundations work in order to make them hurricane resistant is that they drill
a caisson down into the earth about 30 feet to take and anchor the tower. So in those situation they
look at it a little closer, and usually also when we're in Wellfield Protection Zones, generators are
required to be propane.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Got it. There's no -- there's no issue with RF
contaminating those wells?
MS. JAHN: No, sir. That is not an issue.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: That's not an issue, okay. Because that's kind of
what I wanted to go through is because I -- in researching some of this, I see that there's a lot of
municipalities across the country that don't allow cell phone towers within, you know, a thousand
to 1600 feet of homes or schools, and we're obviously a lot closer than that, and I'm trying to
understand, as these things go through, what your stance is on that.
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. So actually the most restrictive jurisdiction in the state of
Florida from separations, as far as I've observed, is Orange County, and they have a seven times
tower height separation which if you go camouflage you can reduce in half. And then if you're
down at 140 feet, it is -- it goes from five times tower height to two and a half. So you're talking
about being 2- to 300 feet away, so in the range of what we're talking here from structures.
So I don't know where the thousand-foot separation comes from, but I'd respectfully submit
that doesn't come from sound planning programs in Florida.
I would also, just so I'm not remiss, just put into the record that the Telecom Act of 1996,
of course, prevents local jurisdictions from making -- regulating communication towers upon the
environmental effects of RF emissions. That said, what you can ask is, "Will these comply with
the safety regulations and the like?" And I will actually now have both of my RF engineers come
up and confirm that Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile operate their networks in compliance with
those, with the FCC regulations.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: That's an interesting point. So if local
jurisdictions can't stop a telecommunication tower, how come you have school districts, like in
Palo Alto, that did not renew their leases for cell phone towers? How do they get around that?
MS. JAHN: Yeah. So they're making a decision as a proprietary property owner, and
there is -- when you go into telecom act case law, right, there is a distinction between the county
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 135 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 28 of 85
acting as a regulator of land uses of lands not owned by the county and the county making a
decision as a landlord on whether a use is the proper fit. And where you see those, those are
decisions where they're deciding whether to allow or renew a lease.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Thank you. I'm just trying to get as much clarity
on this as possible, so I appreciate the depth of that.
MS. JAHN: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: That's all I have for now, Chair.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Commissioner.
Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, I understand what you said, and I -- this is just a
comment. But I talked to the staff, and it just seems -- this is not your issue, but it's crazy that a
local government can't protect its citizens if -- and I'm not suggesting that it is harmful, but it's -- to
Chuck's point, it's -- it's crazy that that law is in place, but I do understand it's in place, and we have
to abide by it. And I'm not suggesting there is anything dangerous about it, but it just -- it's weird.
And now I understand why Chuck's saying "I give you examples," because if you're a landowner,
you're not really regulating. You're just making a decision. And we're not landowners in this
case.
MS. JAHN: Correct. And --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's all about 911, really. I mean, that's what's made it an
essential service.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, and I do understand that. But it looks like there
would be some discretion in the local authorities, and it appears there's none. That just seems odd
to me.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: There's some on aesthetics.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But not --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Not on RF.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah.
MS. JAHN: And for what it's worth, there are -- if you go out -- and I do believe it's the
Palo Alto tower, there was a tower that Sprint removed because of -- out in California because the
lease was not renewed. And then it turned out that the issue that was getting everyone worked up
was actually groundwater pollution from a Nestle plant making decaffeinated coffee.
So, you know, the FCC regulates RF emissions and keeps things safe there to the point
where I would respectfully submit to you from my personal experience, not making a statement on
behalf of the carriers, you see more energy from the fluorescent light over your head than from a
tower. And that's why we talk about aesthetics and compatibility. My apologies.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: And to follow up to that, Palo Alto wasn't the only
one. You had Portland, Oregon, school district, and then you also had, in Maryland, there was
another one that have all done the same thing, and then -- I mean, this was just a simple search I did
online, and I pulled this off of Environmental Health Trust, which obviously is not a big fan of cell
phone towers.
So I bring that forward only to question it because I want to try to get as much clarity as
possible, because I don't want to -- I understand, as Commissioner Vernon said, you know, the
county, we can't try to help protect our citizens because this land is owned by somebody else. So
it's allowing them that conditional use, and it is about 911, which is where that comes from. But
what I want is as much clarity as possible as to any type of risk that we're possibly putting in front
of the public. So that's just kind of where I stand on that. Thank you.
MS. JAHN: Understood.
All right. I'm going -- would it -- at this time, I'm going to have my RF engineers testify
that their networks comply with the FCC safety regulations.
Okay. All right. I'm going to start with Ms. Maffeo. So ladies first.

MS. JAHN: All right. And do you work for T-Mobile?
MS. MAFFEO: I do work for T-Mobile as an RF engineer.
MS. JAHN: All right. And what is your education and experience?
MS. MAFFEO: I have a bachelor degree in engineering.
MS. JAHN: All right. And are you familiar with this tower that we are referring to
colloquially as Palmetto Ridge 2 at the -- in Collier County at the intersection of 31st Avenue
North -- Northeast and Everglades Boulevard?
MS. MAFFEO: Yes. Actually, I approved that location for our network. As a matter of
fact, we need that tower because all that area, it has a lack of coverage, and we have many
complaints about it, and we're aware of the need.
MS. JAHN: All right. Does T-Mobile operate its network in compliance with FAA -- or
FCC safety regulations?
MS. MAFFEO: We do. Basically, that's our main concern when we -- you know, we
follow all the directions from the FAA. The frequencies that we use have to be at exact
frequencies and, you know, at the levels that they tell us to do.
MS. JAHN: All right. Thank you.
MS. MAFFEO: You're welcome.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Ms. Jahn, we can stipulate that your other witness would say the
same thing if you want us to.
MS. JAHN: Thank you.
And, again, I would remind the Board of County Commissioners as Ms. Maffeo just -- or
the Board of Planning Commissioners, that, you know, as Ms. Maffeo said, there's calls being
dropped out there, and there is a life-safety-welfare aspect for -- for the general public in that
regard because we have disconnected our corded lines so much, and that's before we get to the
everyday operating my life, you know, connecting for classes, for phone calls, et cetera.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Schumacher and then the Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I actually had a question for your engineers. What
is their experience with the 5G antennas that they can mount on light poles and those type of
things? What's the difference between that technology and what you're presenting here today?
MS. JAHN: Okay. I'm going to bring Bill Compton up.
Please state your name and address.
MR. COMPTON: Yes, absolutely. William Compton, 7701 East Telecom Parkway,
Tampa, Florida.
MS. JAHN: And what is your line of work?
MR. COMPTON: I'm an RF design engineer for Verizon Wireless.
MS. JAHN: And what is your education and experience?
MR. COMPTON: I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from UCF. I heard someone
speaking about UCF. And I've been doing this since Nextel days. So January of '98 is when I
started doing this.
MS. JAHN: And are you familiar with the tower project that we're discussing today
colloquially referred to as Palmetto Ridge 2 at the intersection of Everglades Boulevard and 31st
Avenue Northeast in Collier County, Florida?
MR. COMPTON: Yes, I am. I originally did the search ring for this site and then the
reevaluation and the re-approval of this site, so yes.
MS. JAHN: All right. And, Commissioner Schumacher, just to -- just to make sure I
understand your question, since I just ran him through a litany here to explain who he is, your
question was, is Verizon familiar with 5G antennas?
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 30 of 85
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: No, I didn't. What I said was, "What's the
difference between the technology of the 5G that they can mount on the streetlights versus what's
being presented today?"
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay. 5G and 4G, there's very little difference. The actual
antennas themselves are literally just pieces of metal that radiate RF energy. The difference
between 4G and 5G is technological, and there's books of information available for that.
To answer your question, when we go on the light poles and stuff like that in towns and in
dense areas, we put 4G and 5G on those same poles through those same exact antennas
simultaneously.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Why wouldn't that be an option for this area that
has no coverage versus a large tree-looking apparatus?
MR. COMPTON: I've got it.
There's two reasons for this. The primary reason is a lot of the Estates area, the way it's
zoned. The tel -- further telecom law in the state of Florida where telecom companies are allowed
to put small cells, which is what we call them, in right of -- public right-of-ways. The problem
with the Estates area is those public right-of-ways do not exist. When the parcels were platted,
there is no right-of-way. We basically have to go back to whoever owns each one of those pieces
of land not only to put the pole in, but also to run the infrastructure that we need to connect them
together. Even though it's a wireless facility, it still has to have a back hall, basically, a fiber
connection back to the nearest cell site or back to back hall, which basically prohibits us from ever
trying to string something like that together in the Estates area just the -- all it takes is one
landowner along that route to say no, and you can't do anything.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I appreciate it. My daughter goes to UCF. So go
Knights.
MR. COMPTON: Go Knights. Golden Knights.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: May I ask one follow-up question?
MR. COMPTON: Yes, absolutely.
MS. JAHN: Do small cells have pickup power --
MR. COMPTON: No.
MS. JAHN: -- when a hurricane or power goes out?
MR. COMPTON: No. Typically, we do not install backup power. There's a couple of
reasons for that. The main reason is just the weight of the batteries and that kind of thing up in the
air next to a right-of-way; it creates a safety hazard. So typically we do not put backup power.
So, therefore, if there's any kind of a storm, if the power goes out, everything goes out, where a
macro site tower like we're talking here would have a backup generator.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes. Just a general question. When you -- and this is
regarding the determining requirements. You balance -- with the public, you said there was only
13 that attended the public hearing?
MS. JAHN: This is Mattaniah Jahn, and yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So where -- where in the process do you evaluate the
need because people are screaming "there's no coverage" versus the aesthetics? I would assume
that -- just human nature, most people complain about things, and they'll complain about the
aesthetics, or they'll complain about no coverage. So how much -- what's the balance? You
propose this. And do people realize that this is a benefit, and they're going to have coverage
versus the impact of the aesthetics?
I'm trying to -- where in this process do you evaluate that or do you explain to the public,
yes, you may have a line-of-sight issue here, but we're -- this is providing a service that's to the
benefit of the public in whole, and the person with the cell -- everybody has a -- almost everybody
5.A.b

has a cell phone now.
So I'm just kind of wondering in the whole process how the companies evaluate the express
need to provide coverage versus those who don't want the cell phone -- or cell tower there because
of the aesthetics.
MS. JAHN: Of course. And Mattaniah Jahn, again. And, essentially, when a tower hits
my desk, it's because one or more carriers has noticed that they have a gap in their system. Their
metrics are coming back saying -- and it's usually a combination of different things like the
measured signal strength is not good, and they're getting degradation, they have complaints in an
area, things like that.
The typical process is that carriers then look at their existing network and go "How can
we" -- Mr. Compton would use the word "optimize." "How can we adjust, tune, upgrade our
existing network?" Because that's just switching out an antenna, that's a building permit and a
couple of antennas. It's not building a -- building any facilities, right?
If they can't do that, then they look to see if there's tall structures in the area. Of course,
we're in the Estates. That really rules that out. Again, it's not public hearing zoning, so it's not
three years -- two to three years of walking hand in hand with an applicant through Collier County's
zoning process and then proceeding for another nine months to a year through your Site
Development Plan process quite often, as I alluded to with the Golden Gate Boat tower. That is
my understanding, it was still in site plan as of the summer.
Once it hits my desk, you know, tower designs, unfortunately, Bridger, you know,
was -- maybe it's because they're from Texas. They thought that it would make more sense to just
have a simple gray tower out there and have it be a lattice instead of having it be a tree. So I'll
blame that on them being Texans. Your staff asked right away, "Hey, you know, trees are usually
what works in this county. Would you do it?" And you know they -- unfortunately, they said, "It
makes more sense for it to be gray."
We go along. We go through our staff review, so I'm not presenting something that's raw
to my neighbors and saying, "Well, here's what it could be if staff is okay with it," right?
Once I get through that, I hold my neighborhood information meeting. And in that
presentation, I show them the plans. The same sheets I show you; the photo simulations that I
have at the time, which back then would have been the lattice; and, of course, the RF package to
show what it's doing for them and why I'm pulling them out of their homes and taking that time out
of their evening.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I understand. Thanks.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
I want to offer my compliments to you, Ms. Jahn, and also to the Bridger company, your
client, and your client's carriers as well, all of whom were responsive to the requests of the NIM,
and that matters greatly to us up here. The NIM is a very important step in what we do, and we
look very favorably upon applicants who come in and report that they heard what the neighbors
said and responded in a significant way. So my thanks to all of you.
Let's see. I just want to, again, be sure the record is complete. You've got your Mosquito
Control letter in. That was one condition. And the other condition about not splitting or altering
the parcel, I think you orally agreed to that -- that was the second of staff's conditions -- am I
correct?
MS. JAHN: Mattaniah Jahn. Yes, that is correct. And we have provided the
written -- the notarized consent to that from Mr. Moran, the property owner. It probably missed
the cutoff date for your RF packet -- or for your staff package, but that is in the county's files.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good. Okay. So my question may be for Mr. Bosi, may be for
the County Attorney.
Are we missing something by not insisting that this be in the form of a perpetual easement
or a perpetual restriction of some kind, or is this -- a notarized letter of this sort be equally binding
so that it locks itself into, let's say, perpetuity?

MR. BOSI: And I'm not -- Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure in terms of the agreement from the individual property
owner. But the condition that we've imposed upon this property is -- most certainly will be
imposed regardless of who owns the property or whether that property owner agrees or disagrees
with the condition. If there was a split, that would be a zoning violation, a code enforcement, and
there would have to be a remedy to address that violation.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And so if someone wanted to split it, they'd have to come in with
a rezone?
MR. BOSI: If they wanted to remove --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: This condition.
MR. BOSI: -- this condition --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: -- they would have to seek a -- they would have to seek a new conditional
use, a rezone.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Public hearings and all?
MR. BOSI: Public hearings, and it would have to be ultimately decided by the Board of
County Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: They wouldn't be able to remove the condition without placing
the conditional use on the entire five acres, and so that's how, you know, we came up with the
condition. The owner has acknowledged the condition, so it would be enforceable.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And I'm not trying to add additional steps and
documentation. I just want to be sure that it's reasonably connected to the perpetuity unless
someone has public hearings, and that's what public hearings are for.
I don't have any further questions or comments, and no one is signaling.
Do we have any -- and, Ms. Jahn, you're finished, right?
MS. JAHN: Yes. This is Mattaniah Jahn. Yes, I do reserve time for rebuttal.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Of course.
Do we have any public speakers, please?
MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Chair, we have three public speakers, two of which are in person.
The first public speaker is Dwinell Bedard. Mr. Bedard, please come up to the podium. You'll
need to be sworn in. And Mr. Bedard will be followed by Roselyne Dorval.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Sir, have you been sworn in yet?
MR. BEDARD: I have not.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: You have not? Okay. We can take care of that.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MR. BEDARD: I do.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Please state your name again for the record, sir.
MR. BEDARD: My name's Dwinell Bedard.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. Go ahead.
MR. BEDARD: Good morning to the chairpersons and everyone in attendance. My
name is Dwinell Bedard. My property address is 3170 31st Avenue, the property directly across
the street from the proposed site.
I have several concerns about this. First and foremost, not just the aesthetics, but concerns
of health. There are several independent studies that show that these types of cell phone towers
cause a lot of cancer. During the initial hearing -- it wasn't a hearing; rather it was a forum where
they were proposing this. There were several people in the community which have cancer, and
they were very concerned. I don't think they're here today. But I have small children, and there
are many independent studies that show -- I know they won't show you these studies, but that cause
cancer not only to people but livestock and animals. I know there are a lot of wildlife preserves

around, and this can cause a lot of issues for those natural habitats.
My second issue is I know when I purchased my home there were a lot of setback rules,
and building this would also impede in the setback to the property that's next to it. My
neighbor -- I don't know if they were able to get notification about this, but I will speak on their
behalf. There are setback rules that I think that impedes on that setback. And, again, the
aesthetics as well as the issue of selling. This might cause property value decreases and things of
that nature.
Are there any contingencies to protect the people who own properties now in place?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, sir. Do you have any other questions or comments?
MR. BEDARD: And if there aren't, are there anything that -- the companies that are
pushing for this, is there a way that there are potentially buy-outs? If they're not going to protect
the community, is there any way that people who oppose there, they'll just buy out that land so that
way they don't have to worry about any opposition?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, we'll have the applicant respond to those if she
wishes. The only thing I would say, the first point you raise, we have absolutely no jurisdiction.
We've been completely preempted by the federal government on the RF cancer issue.
MR. BEDARD: Roger that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: There's nothing we can do. And I wanted -- I didn't want to
interrupt you because I wanted you to have a chance to speak --
MR. BEDARD: Roger that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- and express your concerns but, unfortunately, our hands are
tied.
All right, sir.
MR. BEDARD: Roger that. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much.
Next speaker?
MR. JOHNSON: Roselyne Dorval, followed by Robert Anderson, who's on Zoom.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And if you would give us your last name, please, and then
you have the floor.
MS. DORVAL: My name is Roselyne Dorval. I am a wife, a mother of four children.
They're here in attendance. They've been patiently listening and learning as well.
And I wasn't at the community meeting that they had, but I'm glad that I saw the big sign
letting me know that there would be this hearing. I heard a lot about -- I want to first address
the -- when the attorney was speaking, they mentioned dead zone. And I truly feel that by putting
this, it will become a literal dead zone when it comes to our overall health.
A lot of the things that were talked about today pointed towards vanity, but I'm talking
about the vulnerability of the people. And I know that you just mentioned from the last speaker
you have no control, but I am someone that lives on that street, so I am worried about the cancer
risk. I'm worried about the neurological effects. I'm worried about the reproductive health. I'm
worried about the electromagnetic hypersensitivity. And I, myself, I have a bachelor's degree in
alternative and functional medicine. So these are very real concerns that I researched.
And I talked about let's not focus just on the vanity of what it looks like. Let's talk about
the vulnerability. And I mentioned that I have four children, and they're the most vulnerable
population, and there has been numerous studies that explain being in close proximity -- and I'm
telling you I live on that street -- being in close proximity messes with their overall development of
their brains, their body, their overall mood.
And I understand that the chairperson spoke about schools removing this. I homeschool,
so my home is the school, so I don't have that option of saying I don't want this, and it want [sic] to
be removed.
One of the first things that I told my husband when I saw the sign and looked it up, I said,
"If this has already gone too far and we missed the boat on trying to stop this and voicing how we
5.A.b

feel, we will have to move." Because it's not just about our generation or the people sitting here.
It's about future generations and the overall impact that it will have. And even people that are on
that street that are wanting to have a family that don't have kids, it impacts their reproduction.
So it might be just the focus of vanity for this board, and that's all you have control over,
but as a member of the community, I would like to tell you that it's deeper than just what you're
looking at. It's deeper because these things impact our internal health.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, ma'am.
Next speaker.
MR. JOHNSON: The next speaker is Robert Anderson, who's on Zoom. We're going to
prompt you to unmute. Mr. Anderson? Mr. Anderson? Mr. Anderson, please, speak if you can.
Unmute yourself.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It sounds as though perhaps he's disconnected. I'll ask if there's
anyone in the room who has not registered to speak but, nonetheless, would like to be heard -- and I
see a hand up -- please raise your hand. So I see one hand up. Are there any others?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Please approach, and we'll get you sworn in, if you
haven't already been.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MR. JEAN MARY: Yes, ma'am.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: State your name.
MR. JEAN MARY: My name is Terry Dorval Jean Mary, and we have no problem --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Would you mind if I ask you to spell your last name.
MR. JEAN MARY: J-e-a-n, M-a-r-y.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. JEAN MARY: I live on the street, at the end of the street by the canal, and we have
no problem dialing 911 over there, at no point, at no time. Anytime, any day we can dial 911.
We have no problem calling anybody, even standing on the street or be on the balcony of our
house.
We don't have that problem over there. And those people that want to put that tower
there, if they have a problem calling 911, they can put it at their house because they don't -- they
have the problem, because we don't. We do not have that problem at all.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right, sir. Thank you for speaking.
Anybody else in the room wish to be heard?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Was -- the gentleman on the phone, is he --
MR. JOHNSON: We think we can connect with him right now.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Let's try.
MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Anderson, are you there? Robert Anderson?
(No response.)
MR. JOHNSON: Sorry.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, we tried. With that, we will now call for rebuttal, if
Ms. Jahn wants to offer any.
We'll close the public comment segment of the hearing as well.
MS. JAHN: All right. Mattaniah Jahn, again, for the record.
I know the Chair has acknowledged the preemption in federal law, but I am going to put a
copy of the Telecom Act in the record. There's also a state-level preemption in 365.172 Florida
Statutes, but I'm going to put 47 U.S.C., Section 332, in the record.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Will you have a copy to give the court reporter?
MS. JAHN: Absolutely. If I may approach, I will give a copy to Madam Court Reporter

and Counsel Ashton Cicko.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MS. JAHN: Thank you.
You know, it's funny, I had -- and, again, me talking as a practitioner, just my personal
experience, I had someone who once claimed that they would lose their organic farm certification
because of the proximity of a tower. And we actually had -- this was up in Marion County, and I
had to go to IFAS and have them look at it and confirm, no, they would not lose their organic
certification.
And then I underscore that while these are very present concerns for people, right, because
change scares us, right, they're not competent substantial evidence, and they're not addressing the
issues of compatibility. Compatibility is -- I would respectfully submit to you, compatibility isn't
sameness; otherwise, we wouldn't have a zoning code. We would just have the same thing all over
the county, whatever that one thing was, because that's all there would be.
But compatibility is how we make different uses work together, in balance, a need that is
known in your code and known and acknowledged in your code as an essential service. And
we've done that through meeting the different requirements of your Land Development Code.
I know that there was a concern brought out that there was a setback requirement that
wasn't being met. This exceeds the code-required setbacks for the tower, and it also exceeds the
spirit of what the code-required setbacks would be functionally for a non-camouflage tower to
those neighboring residential uses.
Sometimes I do get a question, or that concern can also stem from the idea that somehow a
setback will be placed on the neighboring properties, and that's not the case. Your staff would
confirm that as well.
Property value drops, if you -- I'd respectfully submit that's not a question of compatibility.
It is a concern that does come up from time to time. I have previously provided property value
study letters basically showing -- the last one I did was for the Green Boulevard tower and just
showing that the presence of a tower doesn't change the property values when you look at the hard
data.
I do have copies of a property value study from a tower that I recently zoned up -- last
year, so it's more present data -- up in Pasco County, if that would be helpful in your decision
today, but -- or if you need me to provide a property value study, I would have to come back in
October, but I would respectfully submit that the monopine will not affect property values.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I believe it was Mr. Bedard who raised that question, so if you
have materials, you might give him a copy if he's here.
MS. JAHN: I'll be happy to.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Good. Thank you.
MS. JAHN: All right. Of course, you have known gaps. I went through the
process -- you know, I went through the process that informs these. The carriers don't build these
unless they have to.
I think I have covered everything. Are there any questions that are still on the Planning
Commission's mind?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We have four signalers, please, starting with Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I know -- whether it's our right or duty to talk about the health
impacts, I'd like to learn more about it. You say there's no competent research showing an impact.
Is there any competent search showing no impact?
MS. JAHN: So, yes. I mean, there are -- there is research out there that's outside the
scope of this hearing, but there is research out there.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: A lot of times in the future it would be good to present it only
because I'm like people in the audience, I don't know. I mean, everybody says there's competent
information, but it would be good -- there's -- there must be some central source that the
government relies on before they set these standards. It would be nice to see more of it. I know

it's not really our right, but...
MS. JAHN: I understand. I hear you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I don't like it when one arm says it's not a -- I can't ask you
that question because it's not our responsibility. I think our responsibility is to protect the public,
and sometimes it's good -- it's been something that's been digested nationally probably for years,
but it hasn't been here. We don't know.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: These are all good questions. And as a matter of general
knowledge, it would be helpful to all of us; however, we have to be careful, because if someone
here were to vote against this and their reason was RF signals or danger from RF, that would be a
disqualifier of your vote, because it's outside our jurisdiction. So we'd -- you know, if anybody
wants to vote against this, they need to base it on the things that are still within our legal purview.
Next is Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I have a lot of thoughts, but I'm trying to parse
through and see what my questions are. You said -- in response to Commissioner Shea, you said
there's research out there, and that was the end of the sentence. Can you complete that sentence?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: As to what the research shows?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: You said "research is out there." Stop.
MS. JAHN: Yeah. There are studies that can be performed to analyze that.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: All right. Let me -- and I apologize for interrupting. Let
me rephrase the question and just -- are you able to cite or aware of, even if you can't cite, studies
out there that indicate that there are no harmful effects from these types of towers to human health
or even animal health? Or are you simply saying -- so it's a choice, or you can just explain -- that
there's no competent evidence out there showing that does cause harm, if you understand my
distinction.
MS. JAHN: This is Mattaniah Jahn. I do. Can I have a moment?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes. And while you're taking your moment, I want to caution
members of the Planning Commission, I mean, there are some outer limits to the reasons upon
which we can cast our vote. And so if someone feels compelled to vote against this, I would urge
them to state a reason that is within our jurisdictional purview.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And if I may, a lot of times, you know -- and I think
you've seen me do this -- I will -- I will -- and I think other people do this, too, on the dais -- I will
explore areas that -- and I understand exactly what our standards are, but given the public speakers,
I do want to explore this, not because I think that -- I understand the federal law and, apparently,
the state law, which I wasn't aware of. So I'm with you, but I do want to explore it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And I'm certainly not going to cut you off. We can explore this
all we want. I just want whatever action we take to have validity under applicable law. But I
think I've made my point.
Vice Chairman Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Wait. I think she was going to answer my question.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Go ahead.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm sorry. Go ahead.
MS. JAHN: So where I'd have to send you back to would be the FCC itself as well as
going back to just the recorded discussions that were around the Telecom Act when it was passed --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Which --
MS. JAHN: -- which are public record.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: When was that?
MS. JAHN: That was 1996. But the FCC has continued to reevaluate that. They
reevaluated it as of -- I'd have to go pull my rule. It was recent. It was within the last three years.
They went through and had a public-hearing process, and half the country commented on it and
5.A.b

came back to the deliberation that the safety standards still apply and that, you know, this is safe.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And probably not a fair question. I don't expect you to
answer it. But during that last process, do you know whether there was -- the conclusion more
resembled "there's insufficient evidence to show harm" or that "based on the evidence we've
seen -- seen, the FCC's seen, we believe this does not cause human harm"? if you understand the
distinction I drew there.
MS. JAHN: I do. And I don't have that order memorized by any stretch of the
imagination. It is Federal Register. But they did -- basically, you ended up with parties who
wanted higher restrictions provided a basis of evidence to the FCC, right? And then, of course,
you know, the industry and operators provided others, and then the FCC went through and
balanced that and said that they believed -- that given everything that's come before them, their
safety standards are good -- are good.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes. Could you address the issue raised by the
gentleman in the back corner there? I believe he raised an issue in regards to what legal action or
what can he do if he wanted to seek compensation for what he perceived to be either an impact on
the value of his home or an impact on his health or his family's health? And I believe that, in
summation, was what he was asking.
So I'm not an attorney. And so I'm not going to attempt to even address it, but I would
wish you put something on the record in regards to if any of the public feels that there's -- what is
their -- what's the open avenue of approach in regards to what they could or could not do in regards
to seeking some kind of compensation.
MS. JAHN: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And I believe, sir, was that your -- that was -- addressed
your question?
MR. BEDARD: Yes, sir.
MS. JAHN: So that is -- actually goes -- the reason that there's no special tools for that in
anything like the Telecom Act and federal laws is because the tool for that goes back to the
common law, and it's the concept of nuisance and a nuisance on a neighbor's property harming me.
There is -- it's a very strong and alive concept, right, the idea of nuisance, the idea of
negligence. It is alive in Florida. You can see by driving down the road -- once you leave Collier
County, of course, because you guys don't have billboards. But when you go to places that do
have billboards, people like Morgan & Morgan are everywhere. That is strong and vigorously
enforced without -- without cost to the injured parties, usually.
So there is a very sophisticated apparatus that's been there since before towers even existed
to make sure this doesn't happen.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Well, I heard everything, but from the standpoint
of the gentleman raised the issue, does he approach the cell company, does he approach the
provider, or does he approach you as their representative because --
MS. JAHN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- if he wants to raise an issue, as the Chair pointed out,
you know, we're restricted, as you well know, on land use and compatibility and the criteria that are
defined in the Land Development Code.
But if they want to seek relief elsewhere, is it they hire an attorney or do they write a letter
to Verizon? That's what I'm looking -- I just want something on the record so they understand
what their -- what their approach would have to be.
MS. JAHN: Yes. So different solutions, trying to keep it $1 answers. One, reach out to
Bridger or, two, reach out to the carriers. Three, hire an attorney, right? Four, contact the FCC
and report a complaint.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.

Page 38 of 85
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Commissioner Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Thank you.
I just -- to follow up on Commissioner Shea, so in doing my light research on this, the
World Health Organization in 2011 classified RF as a Class 2 -- Class 2 carcinogen. So that's
where -- I guess that's -- World Health Organization was relied upon heavily during COVID. So,
again, I don't know how that transmits to this because the tower's so high in the air.
So, Ms. Jahn, again, I'm not trying to speculate here or pick on you guys. I'm just trying
to get thorough answers so that everything's gone through.
I think the conformity wouldn't be as much of a problem if it was kind of like where the
tower's at on Green where you actually have trees that kind of come up to the base of that where
those branches are out on that tower versus here there is no real foliage out there at all. It's all kind
of cleared land, so it stands out like a sore thumb, which I understand why the concern there is.
One of the other concerns I have is you had stated that is a literal dead zone, like, there is
no cell phone coverage. We had testimony where the gentleman said he could dial 911. When I
went onto both Verizon and T-Mobile's website, both of them show 5G coverage for this exact area
that you're saying there is none.
So is that just mis -- is that a marketing mistake on their side? Because it says there's 5G
and 4G available exactly where this tower needs to go, where it said that there is no -- that you're
saying there is no coverage. So I'm trying to understand.
MS. JAHN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Is that just a mistake on their end?
MS. JAHN: So Mattaniah Jahn, again.
What is lacking here is service, and service is both coverage and capacity. Marketing
maps show at least some form of signal. It may not be reliable signal, but we deal in terms, for
zoning purposes, of reliable signal. So in terms of your phone being able to reliably function,
this -- this area has a dead zone.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: So 5G would be reliable service, because that's
what's highlighted on Verizon's website as being exactly where this tower needs to go.
MS. JAHN: No. 5G is like saying a car. So it is a type of technology.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Okay.
MS. JAHN: Whether it is reliable in the specific situation is a matter of individual facts
based upon that individual site, and that's why we provide these RF -- these RF coverage maps.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Okay. I'm just trying to understand, because if
both Verizon and T-Mobile have these coverage maps which show the whole area, and they're
bright colors and dark colors, I don't understand why they're saying there's no coverage when both
companies market it as such.
MS. JAHN: My apologies. I was pulled aside by a carrier. So may I please hear your
question again?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I said, both companies advertise as though there is
coverage on both 5G and 4G and service, meaning that there is coverage there, and you're stating
there's not. And I'm trying to understand why both companies would market as such if that's not
actually the truth.
MS. JAHN: So they are saying that there is signal there; that's coverage. Service is
coverage plus capacity. So it's more than just the fact that there's signal there, right? I could turn
these lights down to 10 percent, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you can read on the dais. So
there's a difference between the presence of signal and the level and the reliability that they're
trying to establish.
I have a late entrance into the room, an RF engineer from AT&T, if you would like to hear
from them at all.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: One more question. So does T-Mobile and
5.A.b

Verizon have some type of data on how many calls they're actually dropping and how many they
cannot serve in that area right now?
MS. JAHN: They do have data on that. It is proprietary, so I'm not --
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: So we can't -- so you're saying that it's about
capacity, but you're also saying that you can't tell me what capacity they're operating at or who
they're dropping or how many of their customers they're not serving because the capacity's over
what it can handle, correct?
MS. JAHN: That is the case for Verizon.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea would like to hear from the witness that you
mentioned a moment ago.
MS. JAHN: Understood.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
MR. YANEZ: I do.
MS. JAHN: Please state your name and address for the record.
MR. YANEZ: Good morning. My name is Michael Yanez. I'm an engineer for AT&T.
Office is -- I forgot my -- oh, okay. We just moved offices, so I'll give the home address. 7203
Loch Ness Drive, Miami Lakes, Florida 33014, is the home address.
Good morning. There was a question specifically that I can address, I guess, from the side
of AT&T.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea, what did you want to hear from?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I think the question was the same one you asked: Is there
any kind of data that would make the people that are living near by feel a little better that they're
not going to be impacted negatively by the RF?
MR. YANEZ: I mean, I could state in general terms. I guess, you know, the kind of
statements that I would make at these hearings is that RF emissions are based on the proximity to
the signal is one of the large -- the largest components to this. The FCC sets limits for the
exposure to -- for human exposure to RF based on, you know, the latest available research. Now
these -- you know, and all the carriers and tower operators are required to comply with these limits.
In the case of a tower, the amount of RF energy on the ground is so low relative to that
limit, it's almost not -- you know, nonexistent.
Where we worry about these things is in building situations and rooftops where people can
walk up near the antennas. And, generally, I, as an engineer, somebody who works around these
facilities, the rule of thumb is stay six to 10 feet away from the front of an antenna at the same
level. Now, when it's up 150 feet in the air, most of the energy's going well over the top of your
head.
In fact, the signal from a tower inside the house will generally be much, much lower than
from what the WiFi router inside the house, just because of the distance and the attenuation from
the building itself.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Could you also compare the EMF and RF energy that's coming off
of a tower to that which comes off of the cellular phone that I put up to my ear; which is more
dangerous?
MR. YANEZ: Absolutely. The cell phone near your ear will have many thousands of
times greater energy entering your body than from the tower. As a matter of fact, placing the
tower in the vicinity means that your phone now operates at a lower power level, and you may
actually get less exposure to RF than your phone operating at the maximum to reach a tower many
miles away.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Anything else, Commissioner Shea?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No, that was very helpful.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Another unfair question for you.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Qualified.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: To your knowledge -- if you feel you can answer
this -- have any of your clients ever bought out neighbors despite the fact that they don't actually
need to buy them out to get something approved?
MS. JAHN: This is Mattaniah Jahn. And, no, that hasn't happened in the -- in my
experience zoning towers since 2013.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, did I neglect to call on the county? If I did --
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. That's quite all right, Chair.
As stated within our staff report, staff has placed some additional conditions of approval
upon the tower, but we are recommending approval, and we do recognize that with three carriers,
this is a tower that, obviously, is in high demand from the industry regarding the location and the
opportunity to improve the system.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
All right. Vice Chairman Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I'm going to make a motion to approve. I certainly
understand -- great discussion from the public. In fact, I'm impressed with how prepared they
came in regards to their concerns, both health and the financial impact this may have. But both of
those areas are out of our purview. I'm sorry that -- for the public that the criteria that we have to
vote on has to be compatibility, safety, those kind of things in regards to the land development.
And then without any substantial evidence to refute or substantiate any claim that there's an
impact on the future value of your home, as was presented by the counsel in regards to the evidence
that she presented, I find no justification to deny this request.
So I'm going to recommend approval of this request, PL20220003008, and this is the
Palmetto Ridge tower.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Second.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Second.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Further discussion? Commissioner Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: So I just wanted to -- point of discussion. When
FPL built that power center on Collier Boulevard, that home that was on that -- I think that was
13th -- was pretty much deemed unusable, which is why the zoning was approved to put a storage
center there.
There is no other communication towers anywhere close to this one out there. There is no
compatibility.
I understand the health concerns, and I understand the FCC says we can't -- we can't weigh
those in, and I respect the Chair on that, and I understand that -- the last testimony kind of changed
my mind as to what AT&T said about the waves being that much less than the cell phone you put
next to your ear.

The compatibility is what I'm looking at for that area. And none of those homes -- I don't
even see the owner's personal radio tower up. So there is nothing out there that matches this.
The one on Green does have compatibility because there is foliage around it. You've got a
taller building, with the hospital being in front of it. This, there is no compatibility.
Now, although the applicant has stated that there's no service, both of their corporate
websites show differently. So compatibility and actual need -- which we had testimony from an
owner who said, "I have no problem dialing 911. I have no problem taking phone calls." The
lack of the data that shows me that there's actually a coverage issue there, I can't vote for this, and
that's the reasons why I would be against it is compatibility, usage, and what's actually going on
there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right, sir. Thank you.
Any further discussion before we take a vote?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. For the record, that home that you were citing at
the corner, I think when we discussed that rezoning action, they deemed that that home was not
marketable.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Yeah, because there was a power station --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Power station and a substation.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I agree.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Not that was -- you know, somebody could buy that and
live with it, but they said it was basically not marketable.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I agree with you. And like I said, when it comes
to compatibility, if there was other towers around there, that would be compatible to it, or if there
was even foliage that was even half the height so that it blended in, that would make it compatible,
but this --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I understand. Yeah.
MS. JAHN: Point of order.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
MS. JAHN: I'll just put it on the record, and then if you say I can't speak, then --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
MS. JAHN: But I would request a chance to respond just so that I get the sandwich from
a procedural standpoint.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go right ahead.
MS. JAHN: So I know that part of the compatibility logic spoken of by Mr. -- by
Commissioner Schumacher was the idea that there's other towers out there, and that's called tower
clusters or tower farms, and that's actually a concept that tower codes try to avoid. And that's
actually why most codes, including your code, encourages the sharing of towers. This is a use
where, since it is network-wise, it does have to be spread across the county. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, I don't -- this is probably going to be a ramble, but
I'm going to vote in favor of it. I think that there's a lot of concern. And I heard Chuck's
comments. And I just feel like you've got a good actor before us. You know, you guys are acting
in good faith, following the law. Great presentation. Great -- you went through the process, you
know, is there another way to do this?
But it's the system is the problem. And so the system, to me -- I mean, you've got
to -- you've either got to change federal and state law, which is kind of outrageous to ask somebody
in the room to go do that, or become an activist and get the word out with studies or -- and it came
up last week -- the legal system. And you even mentioned it. You know, the great thing about
our country is we have a robust private legal system instead of a gigantic government covering
everything.
And just sort of to respond to Commissioner Schmitt's questioning, you know -- and I just

generally tell people, when you're involved in a negotiation, the first thing you do is you go -- you
talk to a lawyer who knows what they're doing in this area and see what your legal rights are, and
then armed with that knowledge -- and a lot of lawyers will talk to you without charging you, get a
sense of what your rights might be, and they might be zero or they might be significant. And
then -- I'm not saying it will do any good, but, again, I've been doing this for about four years now,
and I've seen people stand before us that I felt like were not good actors -- sort of bad actors, and
I've seen good actors, and I think you've got somebody standing -- or presenting this application
that is a good actor and will at least listen to what you have to say.
I don't know that it will get you anywhere, but I think for public, just generally speaking,
figure out your legal rights on a micro -- micro scale for your personal self and your family, figure
out your legal rights, and then talk to the person on the other side of the table after you do that.
So I'm going to vote for it, because, you know, we've had a number of these before us.
And I agree with Commissioner Schmitt, and we just -- we don't have the power to deal with this.
And I'm not sure a protest vote is a way to fix the problem. But I think there is potentially a
problem, whether true or not. I've heard 100 times of the concerns of these towers, not on this
board, just in life. You know, I grew up around them. So, you know, I always wondered did it
affect -- you know, so the concern is out there. It's not crazy conspiracy theory.
And when I questioned you hard on the study showing it's not a problem -- you know, I
heard the AT&T engineer, but still, I did hear, "Oh, we have conclusive studies" -- and they're not
your studies, but conclusive studies out there that says it doesn't.
So I think it's a big-picture issue for your client, and I'm sure you've heard this before and
in front of other planning commissions, but this is sort of the first time we've really delved into this.
And thank you to the public for really highlighting it and having us address it.
So I -- hopefully that gives some help to the public as well as the applicant on at least my
take on it, and I am going to vote for it, but I feel like I'm going to vote for it, in part, because I'm
constrained to vote against it due to, I think, the same concerns that we all have, but Chuck
particularly has.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yeah. I'm going to vote for it, but I think in the future -- I
mean, this has got to be the same exact thing you encounter every time. There needs to be more
education in your presentation that RF -- by not putting RF as not harmful in your presentation, the
assumption is you're hiding something.
I would go out of my way to put in educational material as part of your presentation to the
public, because this is a very common discussion. We can't do much about it, but you could make
your life a lot easier if you had the studies in the -- at the NIMs and things like that, because it's the
first question everybody asks.
But I'm going to -- I, like Commissioner -- like Chris, I don't have any other basis, so I'm
going to vote for it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Any other planning commissioners want to be heard at this time?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
I've had comments from several people that if we extend all the way until 2 p.m. without a
lunch break, that's asking a bit too much of everyone concerned. So I'm going to try to avoid that
today. We're right up against a time when we would usually have lunch. If not, we'd have a court
reporter break anyway. So I'm going to propose that we do take a 30-minute pause for lunch,
unless there's objection to that. In fact, we'll make it for 42 minutes to take it all the way to 12:30.
If not -- no objection, then we stand in recess until 12:30.
(A luncheon recess was had from 11:48 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)
MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi.
Planning Commission has returned to session, please. Take your seats.
***Our final hearing today will be PL20230012905. This is the conversion of golf
courses Land Development Code amendment. The matter's purely legislative in nature, no
quasi-judicial companion; thus, no need for swearing in of witnesses or ex parte disclosures.
And with that, Chair recognizes Mr. Bosi.
MR. BOSI: Thank you, Chair.
Good afternoon. Again, Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. Just to start off the
process, this is an LDC amendment requesting modifications to 5.05.15, which -- in the Land
Development Code, which is the golf course conversion process which was adopted in 2017 by the
Board of County Commissioners.
In the package that you received for the LDC amendment, I just wanted to read the first
paragraph, the background, just to give you the context of why we're here.
On February 14th of 2023, the Board directed the staff to bring back an LDC amendment
to clarify that the Board has the discretion to grant deviations to reduce the minimum average
greenway width of a proposed golf course conversion during the rezoning process.
Additionally, on April 11th, 2023, the Board recognized the existing golf course
conversion intent-to-convert application process had not been in effect in bringing the developer
and the stakeholders together earlier in the process to resolve issues as initially intended and
directed staff to bring back recommendations for an amendment that could improve the process and
remove potential Bert Harris claims. The Board also discussed the possibility of repealing the
intent-to-convert process in its entirety.
So what -- so what staff was tasked with was try to make this process more defensible
against Bert Harris claims, because one of the things the Board recognized, we were having -- we
were having claims of Bert Harris against the county before any application for a development was
actually denied. They were saying that the individuals that were -- that intended and are suing the
county -- and this is -- it's happening right now with The Links of Naples, which is suing the
county because we had indicated that they would have to go through the intent-to-convert process.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 151 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 44 of 85
We are now in the Bert Harris process of settling that claim because we indicated that they
would have to -- they would have to go through the intent-to-convert process to convert a golf
course to a residential subdivision without even denying that by saying that they had to go through
the conversion process was sufficient enough for that -- for the claim to be made in that regard. So
that's one aspect.
The second aspect was the intent-to-convert process was designed to try to promote
conversation between the developer or the redeveloper of that golf course and the residential
communities that surrounded that golf course, and there was a whole formulaic systematic
approach towards what the developer had to do to try to help promote discussion in terms of
preferences, visual preferences, surveys, stakeholder outreach meetings, developer's alternative
scenarios.
These formulaic approaches towards how they had to try to promote better conversation,
and the end goal of that was so when it goes to the rezoning process, those conversations could
help inform and bring more consistency and agreement.
What staff had provided -- or what staff had observed and what staff had recognized, that
that wasn't happening. It wasn't happening during the golf course conversion. I was at the second
Riviera Golf Course conversion SOM meeting, and understandably, the residents were entrenched
within their position. They don't want to see the golf course transition into anything else.
The developer wanted to develop the -- said that the golf course was no longer fiscally
feasible, and they needed to transition into an alternative design.
Both parties became entrenched. Both parties were not exchanging dialogue. There was
no ideas that were -- that were provided for that brought any compromise in the intended purpose.
So based upon those recognitions and based upon the Board of County Commissioners'
direction, staff attempted to try to find a middle ground that could alleviate the pressure in the
ability for Bert Harris claims to be levied against the county before an application would be denied
but also recognizing that there is benefit if there is some additional dialogue that goes before
the -- before the application would be submitted for a rezoning application, and that was kind of
some of the thinking in the mindsets and the factors that staff utilized to try to provide the
amendment.
What we have proposed is a two-page intent-to-convert process. The prior version was
nine pages with a lot more substantive activities that were being required and prescribed of the -- of
the developer.
And the intent to convert -- and you can see it on the screen. You know, the purposes of
this section is to require additional public steps -- of public involvement and to add a greenway
requirement for the proposed conversion of an existing golf course to a nonexisting golf course.
It's an intent to involve the public prior to submittal of a rezone or an SRA amendment application
to require the applicant to engage residents, property owners, and the surrounding community early
in the concept design phase of the conversion project in order to better identify compatibility issues
in existing -- within existing neighborhoods.
So similar to the -- similar to the same type of intent, we've just really minimized the
prescribed activities that are going to be required.
We provided a section for exemptions. What we found was in the first -- and, please, if
you have questions.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, I'm going to interrupt you, Mike, because I was
waiting for you to finish the introduction.
I think I'm the only member of the Planning Commission that was here when we passed the
2017 amendments, I believe. I think.
As you well know, and the residents from both Riviera and Lakewood who participated, it
was, if I recall, it had to have been at least 40 hours’ worth of, maybe more, of LDC hearings, and
it had to go on over at least four or five meetings, if I'm not mistaken.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 152 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 45 of 85
And the reason for that was the process was developed, and -- it was a bit onerous, there's
no doubt. And some of it I had some misgivings about it because it was rather onerous in regards
to all the steps you had to go through. But the fact is, the input from the public, the LDC
amendments, which were -- went through public-hearing process, were approved by both Board of
County Commissioners -- or by the Planning Commission and the Board of County
Commissioners. Of course, they even went through the DSAC at that time, Development Services
Advisory Council. It was approved.
I really do not understand how, if we have a developer who says we're at an impasse -- and
I don't even understand, Heidi, how there can even be a Bert Harris claim without -- if they say,
"Gee, this is too hard, so I'm going to file a Bert Harris claim," there's no claim. Where is the
claim? It has to be turned down.
And I've got to tell you, I'm not really very excited about the changes. Now, there could
be some modifications, but what -- and I know we're going to hear some opposition. But what's
happened is you have taken what I think is a very laborious and strenuous process, but the process
was there to protect all parties. We now just are converting to what I summarize as no more than
two NIMs.
And I -- and even if the developer threatened to file a Bert Harris claim, it's not a claim
until he's been denied, he or she's been denied. Where is this claim? And why -- what drove the
Board of County Commissioners and the staff to decide that we need to change this? I really need
to understand how we got to where we are now.
And, Mike, I know you said it, but there's still no -- there's no issue here. The issue is
we're at an impasse. Well, okay, big deal. Then put it before the public in a public-hearing
process. Meaning, bring the amendment forward -- not the LDC amendment, but bring the
petition forward and let it go through the public-hearing process and get denied or get approved.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, that was one of the problems, and we have had, I believe,
three Bert Harris claims filed. And so one of the problems with the intent-to-convert process is
that when it was formulated, it was intended to say, "Check, check, check," they did all these items
that they were supposed to do.
But what happened is the petitioners were trying to -- or felt that the merits of what they
were submitting was being decided, and that's because there was no flexibility, or at least the
developer was arguing that there was no flexibility in some of the requirements. That's why they
proceeded, and they filed their Bert Harris claims.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I understand, but there's no claim until it's denied through
the public-hearing process. They might have not liked it. They may have not -- I don't remember
the developer being here when we went through the LDC amendments either. They may have
participated; I don't recall. They certainly had an opportunity at that time to influence the process.
But if the developer just wrang his hands and say, "Gee, this is too hard, and I think I'm going lose,
so therefore I'm going to withdraw." Gee, that sounds familiar. No, I'm not going down that
road.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah. So the litigation team assessed the cases, and they
have -- the cases are still pending, so there are some --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'm not a lawyer. Again, you are, and I turn to our
attorneys. But until it's denied through a public-hearing process --
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, that would be the county's position.
And so the litigation team did ask for flexibility. They did not ask for removing some of
the more cumbersome requirements. In working with staff, some of the items that were removed
were, like, the developer's alternatives because it wasn't providing any more than just additional
paperwork, and the SOMs were reduced to a proposed third NIM, which is a NIM that occurs
before the petition is filed, so...
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So for my colleagues up here, it's -- the two golf courses
we're talking about, the homes that surround the golf course are not part of the zoning of the golf
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 46 of 85
course. They're separate entities. The golf course is a separate tract. The homes just happen to
be built around the golf course. And we got into the whole discussion about protecting perceived
rights and my -- what I built on and all that kind of thing.
So without getting into the whole background of it -- at the same time the golf course was
going -- was going belly up or did go belly up, and somebody bought it and wanted to develop it,
and they have every right to do that.
I just don't understand -- there may have been an impasse, as Mike said, but it's still -- the
impasse -- they could still proceed through the rezoning process and wait to see if it gets denied.
I -- this is sort of like, let's change the rules so we can make it easier and avoid the pain and
agony, and I'm waiting to see what the residents think, because I don't know if you-all -- I'm
waiting to hear is if these amendments were passed to you-all in a way that you-all agreed that,
"Okay. Well, we'll agree to acquiesce and withdraw some of the requirements so that we can get
through the rezoning process."
It seems like this is pretty one-sided, and I know what we went through to put these LDC
amendments together.
MR. BOSI: And I'll respond directly to that, Joe.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: It was directed by the Board of County Commissioners.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: Staff didn't initiate this. This was directed by the Board of County
Commissioners --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. BOSI: -- to staff to modify -- to modify under the premise of the two directions they
provided within the hearings in February and April.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Did the staff, then, initiate any contact with the
communities that were impacted to get their input on this?
MR. BOSI: No, no.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: This is the first hearing, then, that they're -- they're
basically being made aware of these changes without any consultation prior to this that there were
these pretty significant changes.
MR. BOSI: I mean, the DSAC -- the DSAC meetings were open and available.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MR. BOSI: But, you know, this was the direction that was provided to staff from the
Board of County Commissioners, and at that -- at that meeting, there was serious discussion during
that meeting whether they wanted just to eliminate the intent-to-convert process altogether.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, I'll be frank, I mean, some of it, I thought, was
pretty onerous, but it is what it is. We got to that because of all the input that came into it. But it
seems sort of disingenuous now to just say, "Oh, gosh. Thank you-all for your input, and we
appreciate this, but now we're changing our mind and we're going to make it a lot easier."
And the intent here was not to make it easy. The intent was so the public would be aware
that a developer was going to come in and develop on a piece of property they don't own.
I remember even back then one of the petitioners, I said, "Well, the community ought to
just buy the golf course." Well -- and then they turned to the county, and they wanted the county
to buy the course. And I mean, I can go through the whole history. But the fact is, we are now
here trying to -- trying to change a process that I thought was put in place to protect both the
applicant and the surrounding property owners, and I hope that's still the case. But I read this, and
I'm -- when we go through it, I'll have -- I do have some concerns. And I know we got input from
Tony Pires, and it's going to be pretty valuable to go through some of those issues as well.
MR. BOSI: There's also Katie Berkey representing Riviera --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I didn't get anything from Katie.
MR. BOSI: It's in your package. It's --

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: My error.
MR. BOSI: -- the second attachment.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's hard to see. Her comments appear as balloon notes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Those are hers.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Oh, those are hers. Thank you. Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. I want to -- before I call on the other commissioners, if I
may, I share Vice Chairman's misgivings about this for mostly the same reasons going back to what
Jimmy Carter's assistant, Bert Lance, said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And I think that the
system is working pretty well.
Now, from the county staff's perspective, they were instructed by the Board of County
Commissioners to do something, and they did something. So, you know, they're -- this -- the
criticisms or the objections that may be forthcoming from the dais are not necessarily going to be
directed at staff, because staff was just doing what the bosses of this county asked it to do, the five
county commissioners. And so, you know, staff did what it was asked to do.
My concern is that the result, though, is a significant tilt toward the development
community away from the individual homeowners in specific ways that I will enumerate when it
comes time to talk specifics. But that -- I find that very worrisome, and I will -- I'll be heard on
that at a later time this afternoon.
And before I turn it back to you, Mr. Bosi, I've got two commissioners who want to be
heard. First Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So I'm behind these guys. I need some context.
I look at most of the golf communities -- I'm looking forward -- I know we have two
particular ones that we're talking about, but I'm looking at it going forward. I live in a golf
community. It's part of a PUD. The development density for that section of land is what's in the
PUD.
So if the owner of the golf course -- and it's not us -- decides he wants to put homes, he's
got to ask for increased density from us.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So I guess I don't understand -- I mean, the PUD, for me, is
the protection for me as a resident in our community, but I'm guessing it's not helping --
MR. BOSI: No, you're correct 100 percent. Staff's not really -- isn't abundantly
concerned about golf courses that are within PUDs. Golf courses within PUDs are developed as a
part of a whole single project. That project includes the golf, the residential development that
surrounds the golf, and intertwined, and the other amenities that are provided for within that PUD.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But they get --
MR. BOSI: That's a bundle.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But they get the maximum -- more density by having the golf
course.
MR. BOSI: That's a bundle.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Exactly.
MR. BOSI: There's interrelationship, there's an interdependency, that is an understanding
between that interrelationship.
The golf courses that we're going to be dealing -- you're going to hear the public from are
individuals who are in straight residential zoning and are adjacent to a golf course that's zoned
"golf course," so they're not part of a PUD.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MR. BOSI: And they may have been developed together, but over time they have
different zoning districts, they have different ownership, and that ownership of the golf course may
want to take that golf course in a different direction than those individuals who live on those
5.A.b

Page 48 of 85
properties. They don't have the same type of interrelationship that the -- and the protections that
the PUD gives to them.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But the documents recognize that. And what percentage of
the golf courses in the county don't have a PUD protection?
MR. BOSI: There's -- I would say there's nine out of the 72, so roughly about 13,
14 percent.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That are outside a PUD?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay. So that's really what this is focused on is that
13 -- okay, thank you.
MR. BOSI: Yes. And those are the ones that this court -- this conversion process was
really intended to do. Because staff recognizes if someone comes in on a golf course within a
PUD, there's a whole set of negotiations and interrelationships that they're going to have to deal
with that's unique, that's not like these individuals where you've got separate ownership, separate
zoning districts, and they're related, but they're not intertwined.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And if -- if I may -- I'm sorry to interrupt.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No, that's okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But I did not see any provision in this language that limits it to
non-PUD situations.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Exactly.
MR. BOSI: No, no. If someone went through the PUD request to amend it, they would
still have to go through the intent-to-convert process that is currently on the books.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So currently on the books we've got two intent-to-convert
hearings. What are they called, SOMs?
MR. BOSI: SOMs, yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And they take place pre-application, right?
MR. BOSI: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But I guess the practices are somewhat less formal than the NIMs,
but there's notice that goes out to the stakeholders and nearby residents, and they have an
opportunity before the application is filed to make their views known and for the developers to hear
what those concerns are and maybe could be addressed before the application was filed. And so
the proposal here is to reduce the number of encounters with the public before application from two
to one, and the one that we would have would be called a NIM.
The other thing that I want to say, and I -- I interrupted you, and I apologize. I should let
you finish. Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: At my age, I forget what I was going to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But I -- but at some point in time, that piece of property, it
became a golf course, and it was zoned.
What does the Growth Management Plan -- you've got an area -- does the Growth
Management Plan say that you can -- that was planned to convert into residences and now we're
going to have ten hundred -- or a thousand more residences on the golf course? Wouldn't that be
a --
MR. BOSI: These golf courses are within the urban residential subdistrict of the Growth
Management Plan, and golf courses and residential development are both uses that are provided
for, so it's -- it doesn't say anything in terms of -- it allows those uses to be permitted, but it
does -- has no -- it doesn't talk to the individual relationship between those individual uses.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: They have a right, then, to -- I guess it confuses me. I don't
know how you plan infrastructure if you have these golf courses that all of a sudden you could
have four of them, and you've got 4,000 more homes that you weren't planning on because they're
golf courses, and now you've got to figure out your infrastructure. It just seems like you get out of

control.
MR. BOSI: That's what -- no.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I don't know how you manage it.
MR. BOSI: Right. That's why we have a concurrency management system. We have a
concurrency management system that says, if you want to convert that golf course from golf course
to a residential development, you would have to go through the platting process or the Site
Development Plan process, and at that time that's called a development order. That development
order would be put through the concurrency management process where you would check the
capacity within your road system, check the capacity within the school system, check the capacity
within the utility system. Is there available -- is there available capacity within those systems?
They would have to address any deficiencies to be able to move forward. So that's how
our Growth Management Plan would protect that there's assurance that there's adequate
infrastructure. It doesn't -- it doesn't speak to that specificity within the GMP, but it does have the
requirement for the concurrency management system to be applied.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Well, they have the right.
MR. BOSI: They have the right to ask.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Well, more than a right. I could see where the Bert Harris
would come in because they don't -- they're not stopped. They're told it's one of the options they
could do.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I want to comment, if I may. The Bert Harris concern -- and
I -- look, I'm a taxpayer in this county, and so I commend the County Attorney's Office for trying
to avert as many lawsuits as possible, but I don't think the way of doing that is just to concede
every issue that comes up to the development community.
Bert Harris, for instance, the cases that are out there, I believe -- and you can correct me if
I'm wrong -- are cases where the plaintiff, the aggrieved party, is the developer. And maybe that's
what was intended in Tallahassee when Bert Harris came in. But, you know, individual property
owners should have Bert Harris rights as well, particularly within PUDs but, arguably, even in a
situation where you're next to another kind of zoning. And just because individual property
owners can't afford zillion-dollar-an-hour lawyers and law firms to represent them doesn't mean
that their Bert Harris rights should be ignored. So that was a point that I wanted to make, and now
I want to call on Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I do not disagree with, I don't think, anything
that's been said so far, but I kind of want to jump to -- and I think I saw Chuck light up. He may
have some other thoughts substantively on this.
But I want to jump more to the approach because it seems like there was a significant
process, as Commissioner Schmitt said, to get this thing in place. I'm guessing we went too far,
and I'm guessing the lawyers are claiming they have standing because we've put such onerous
burdens on them. That gives them the right -- they don't have to go through this futile process in
order to be able to go before a court. I'm assuming that's their position. And given the fact that
there's multiple claims, they're probably on pretty solid ground in terms of having standing.
But the commissioners who -- I guess in some ways our boss -- they want to -- they want to
change this thing for whatever -- you know, I don't think we're going to convince them that they're
just wrong on that point.
So, you know, I think what I would like to see us do is protect as much as we can of this
lengthy process we went through while trying to insulate us somewhat from a Bert Harris claim.
You can't fully insulate it because it costs 300 bucks to file a lawsuit. And if it's a ridiculous
claim, it's probably worth fighting. But it seems to me the approach of having staff come up with
a new system is the wrong way to go.
It seems to me that we should take the existing system, take the lawsuits that have been
filed, take the Bert Harris statute and case law, and go back and redline what we did to see where
we might have weaknesses legally and be subjected to a Bert Harris Act claim rather than sort
5.A.b

of -- you're not starting over, but rather than you guys having built from the ground up something
that's lesser, why don't we take what we've got, what Commissioner Schmitt was talking about, and
see where our lawyers think it ought to be redlined, and we listen to our lawyers, and then we make
a decision, and we ship something back up with redline changes from what it was rather than
something that's arguably too low a hurdle, and now we've got -- we swung the pendulum too far,
and now property owners are going to be saying, "Well, I'm going to be bringing a Bert Harris Act
claim," or "This isn't fair."
So I just think -- I almost feel like -- and I don't know if this is a timing issue. I almost
feel like we ought to adjourn -- I'm not suggesting this. I'm just throwing it out -- adjourn and
take -- if you guys agree with me, have the approach of taking what is here now and seeing where
our lawyers think we ought to trim it up. That seems like the right approach, rather than the
approach we're taking. And there may be some back office stuff going on I don't know about.
Maybe that is the approach we took, but it doesn't seem like that.
MR. BOSI: What I -- what I could say, Commissioner Vernon, is we didn't start over
again. What we did is we took a scalpel -- we took a hatchet to this. We didn't scalpel. We took
a hatchet. And it was influenced by the ineffectiveness of the regulations that we were being sued
upon. That was the motivation of why we took such draconian steps to minimize what was
required.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, then the question becomes, could we try it again and
take a scalpel instead of a hatchet and protect the -- protect the county from extensive litigation and
still keep in place a lot of protections that were well thought out from a right and wrong
standpoint?
MR. BOSI: I think that's what you're going to get from this hearing. I think you're going
to get the skinny version, or the drastic reductions that staff is proposing. You're going to have
comments from the public from two affected golf courses that are going to raise issues that they
feel were maybe more important and shouldn't be eliminated, and there's going to be staff's original
effort that's going to go to the Board of County Commissioners and whatever is going to be
recommended by the Planning Commission as well to be an alternative to what staff has provided.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: My only problem with that -- and I think -- I listen -- I
think everybody knows, I listen to the public a lot, but to me, I'm not -- I think the public input is
not as valuable as it might be in a lot of other cases because I don't need them to convince me to
protect what we already have which protects them. I'm already -- that's been done.
I'm more interested in how do we protect us from valid Bert Harris claims by developers or
applicants. To me, that's not really a public issue. It's a legal issue.
And so I'm throwing this -- and I don't usually do this, but it seems like the bulk of the
work here, thought process, should be from our lawyers, not our staff and not the public. Because
we have a system. We're just -- I think the commissioners don't want to get sued every week on a
Bert Harris claim on this.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: But you only have nine communities that could do that that
you're worried about. Two of them are in the room. Isn't that what you said?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: The input that we received from the litigation team was to add
one sentence, okay. So --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Who's the litigation team, I should ask?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Jeff Klatzkow and a few of the litigators.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Oh, it's your colleagues?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes, it's from our in-house litigation team, was to add one
sentence.
Now, when this went to the Board -- because it's gone to the Board two different times.
One based on the direction Mr. Klatzkow wanted, and then the second time the Board directed,
"Go through it. See what you can get rid of," rather than repealing the whole thing. So that's why

staff undertook trying to make it easier for everyone, because it was also difficult for staff to
implement. But we can go back to the -- if you feel that changes shouldn't be made, then we can
do the very minimal change needed to protect it from Bert Harris claims.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: What was the one --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: The minimal change that's been made was a one-sentence
addition by the litigation team, which makes perfect sense to me.
"Hey, litigators, how do we need to change this?"
"Okay. We're going to add a sentence."
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: It went back to the county commissioners. They said,
"That's not good enough."
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: No, it didn't go back to the Board of County Commissioners.
The Board of County Commissioners has directed twice to proceed and do LDC amendments to
this section.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Ms. Ashton, what is that sentence? Can you quote it, or --
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, it's the one -- oh, go ahead.
MR. BOSI: It's 8. It's on your screen. "Notwithstanding, the Board has the authority to
grant deviations at its sole discretion including, but not limited to, reduction of the greenway
requirements."
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Now, let me ask that -- because that -- I had a fair
amount to say on that sentence. Doesn't the Board have sole discretion to grant deviations and
variations from almost everything, if not everything in the LDC? Why is this any different?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: That was one of the arguments that the property owners were
making based on some of the language that's in this section. They thought it was contradictory.
And so that sentence would have clarified any controversy.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But it raises -- the negative inferences are very powerful because
then you look at all the other cases where the language doesn't say "sole discretion." You're going
to create arguments that the Board doesn't have its sole discretion to grant those deviations.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, I think -- just to jump in so I understand. I think
what the Chairman's saying is implicitly that's the case with everything, but the applicants were
using the lack of this sentence as an excuse to say, "There's no discretion"; therefore, it's too
onerous, blah, blah, blah; therefore, I have a valid claim, and the litigators are saying, "If you add
this sentence explicitly, then we protect ourselves in the courtroom by having this sentence being
clear even though it may already be implicit." Is that what you're saying?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes. There is some text within the section itself that provided
an argument for the property owners to say, "No, there is no flexibility."
Mr. Bosi had reviewed the LDC section. He's the interpreter of the code, and he said,
"Yes, the Board has the ability."
But we're still getting the Bert Harris claims, and that's why the litigation department
recommended the language that they did.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Wait, wait. Okay. The last part you said,
"Recommended the language they did," is that what we're looking at now?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Number 8.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Number 8.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Oh, No. 8. Just No. 8.
Well, I mean, if that's all they recommended, what I'm getting from that is this may -- well,
then you said they're still getting the claims, so then --
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Well, that language --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I don't know. Maybe we're just doing this -- and I'm
being thickheaded about it. But it just seems like all we need to do other than to get something
that the commissioners will agree to -- because if we can't get something the commissioners will

agree to, we're wasting our time, because they're going to do what they want.
So I want -- but other than that, all we need to do is we need some good lawyers to say, "If
we have this, this, and this, we will be insulated from valid or arguably valid Bert Harris claims."
You can never insulate from bogus Bert Harris claims.
But I don't think the applicants -- with the quality of attorneys they have, I don't think
they're going to just file a completely bogus claim unless then they can bully the county, which,
you know, arguably that's what's going on here.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I think it is.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: But I think -- I think if we bulletproof ourself a little bit
more -- and maybe it's just one sentence. Maybe it's a little bit more -- than we just take one of
them on, and then we're done -- we win it and we're done with it if we're on strong legal ground.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm going to call on Commissioner Schumacher, who's been
waiting patiently.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Thank you.
Mike, quick question. So nine out of 72 are not surrounded by a neighborhood. So those
that are not part of PUD -- I'm going to try to go backwards on this because you said there's, like,
two different zonings.
So if a developer back in, I don't know, the '70s, right, developed a golf course and owned
the land around it and then started selling lots off around the golf course -- so that's basically one
owner who's now selling the lots to different developers, so on and so forth.
Like Palm River. Let's take Palm River, for example. That's a good one. It was a public
golf course, and then LaPlaya bought it and turned it private, but all those homes around there that
were built, that whole thing would have been, basically, one developer who then just sold lots.
So if that's two different zonings, of course, the homes -- some of them may have
memberships, some of them don't, whatever. But that golf course wasn't part of the PUD. But
the intent originally was this developer owned all this land, he built this golf course, then he put
these homes and sold the homes to different developers, whatever, and that's a different zoning.
Could we go back to those and kind of put it back under a PUD and say, "That was the
original intent" versus, like, a developer coming in saying, "Well, this golf course is defunct. I
want to build this on here even though it's surrounded by all these homes," and that was the original
intent was for it to be a golf course versus a golf course that has nothing surrounding it so there
isn't an impact to those residents surrounding but in another neighborhood it would? Like, do you
understand what I'm saying? Is there any -- how do we --
MR. BOSI: Well, I would say that we don't have the right to be able to go back and revert
and try to -- based upon intent. But what would happen and what has been in the place of Riviera
is there, is there's remnants of that connectivity between their golf course and the residential
development.
And in the case of Riviera, Riviera has a component towards where the golf course is, by
the Water Management District, the area for where the stormwater is to be maintained. So their
argument -- if Riviera -- which went through the intent-to-convert process. They could -- the
developer of that golf course could submit a rezone application.
What they would argue, though, is that this golf course is essentially tied to our residential
development, and unless they can provide the assurance that that stormwater could be handled in a
different way, then that's -- that's not something that they could legally do. But they could also
make the argument that shows the relationship that these -- this -- our residential houses have with
this golf course, therefore supporting why they should -- why the Board of County Commissioners
would not approve that rezoning, because of that relationship.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Gotcha. No, that's -- I'm trying to just figure out a
way.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chair Schmitt.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mike, you said something about the golf course property
5.A.b

was deemed an area that was identified as stormwater management?
MR. BOSI: Within -- within the plats, yes.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And they're recorded drainage easements against many of the
courses that those drainage easements, the land rights have to be resolved before they can go
through their rezoning, or they can complete their rezoning.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Regardless of the intent to convert, if I were to go in there
and develop today, I would still have to go through the ERP process, environmental resource
permit process. I may have to go through -- there may be jurisdictional wetlands. And for my
colleagues, they would do a JD, jurisdictional determination. It may require a Section 404 permit
from the Clean Water Act, which would then trigger consultation of other federal agencies.
It does not preclude or circumvent any requirement for federal permitting or through state
permitting. So if it's identified as a stormwater management area, if I were the developer, I have
to come in with all my calculations, I have to demonstrate that I can capture this water, store this
water, and displace this water, and I have to have -- of the 90 acres or 100 acres that's developable,
I may only be able to develop 20 acres.
That's not the county's problem. That's the developer's problem. It's not a Bert Harris.
If the developer is concerned about stormwater -- has to meet stormwater management
requirements, that's part of the ERP process, South Florida Water Management District. It's
separate from the intent to convert.
That's -- and likewise with the contamination. Water -- a 401 water-quality certification
for arsenic or other types of requirements that are required by the State, those are -- those are
requirements regardless of what I'm going to do.
Again, I don't understand how the county has to worry about whether I take something
away from a developer, because that developer still has to go through the permitting process
whether it's -- whether it's a jurisdictional determination through the feds, whether it's the
Endangered Species Act. It could be sensitive habitat or water quality. Those --
MR. BOSI: This isn't being motivated by a concern for the developer. This is being
motivated by the number of Bert Harris claims we've had against us because of the
intent-to-convert process that's on the books.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But the -- again, the Bert Harris claim -- the Bert Harris
claim is not -- he can claim all he wants, but he can go fight the feds then, he or she, the developer.
They've got to meet the requirements of the State. And there are -- there are strict rules right now
in the State to convert golf courses to ensure that there's -- the soil contamination -- because over
the years -- it's a lot better now than it had been, but fertilizers and other types of things that are
used. They have to go through arsenic determination. They have to go through all the other
requirements for water quality and other requirements from a developer -- from the standpoint of
soil contamination.
Those -- those are covered, I guess, in the intent, but we don't waive those. You can
attempt to waive them, but you cannot -- you cannot forgive them of that requirement.
So I mean -- so, again, I look at this and say, well, if he -- if the developer believes that
they're being denied development, go complain to the South Florida Water Management District or
go to the feds and sue them.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Chair, can I -- I was trying to finish what --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, go ahead.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Please go ahead, Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: How many of those -- what I was getting at was
how many of those was that type of instance where a developer built a golf course, owned all the
land, and then sold off the lots around it?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's a good question.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Do we know?
MR. BOSI: The only thing I can think is there's nine individual golf courses that are

Page 54 of 85
zoned golf course and have residential development that are -- that are in its own separate zoning
district. So I can -- I can --
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: The reason I'm saying that is because when that
developer built that golf course then sold those lots, that lot that abutted the golf course was worth
more money than the one that would have been across the golf street. Even if they didn't get a
membership, it was still worth more because of the view, and that's what I'm trying to dig down to.
Because if then -- if they try to sell it to somebody else who then wants to put houses there, you're
taking away from the original intent as presented by that developer.
Okay. I'm done.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Chuck, that's a good question. I don't know that answer.
You know, even when we -- that was one of the reasons why, when we looked at this in 2017, we
were -- we did this in a way to -- I'll quote, "protect" what was a perceived view corridor and view
right, and I know it's legally -- I can't guarantee that, but it was an intent to somehow say, you
purchased this house on a golf course whether it was separate and -- separate and distinct from the
golf course itself or part of when the golf course was developed. But we were looking at trying to
ensure that at least they'd get some protection. That led to the greenway.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: The original intent.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: The original intent was the developer built this golf
course then sold this lot for more money than he would have for one across the street because it
looked at a golf course.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's correct. Absolutely right.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: So that's kind of what I was trying to figure out
because that's where I would --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's a good question. We never addressed that issue
back then. Which came first, the golf course or the house, or did the golf course come in? It was
the same -- the chicken or the egg. We -- I think it was at that time Riviera was -- I believe the
golf course was there many years before the houses were built. It's similar -- I mean, I'll give you
an example. Where I live in Fiddler's Creek, the golf course out there, the Marriott golf course
was out there for years before the --
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Before anybody else was.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Before the Fiddler's Creek development came in. But
now it sort of became part of it, but it's -- this never became a PUD. It was just a residential
community built around -- probably a golf course built, I don't know when, in the '70s I think some
of those go back.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Wow.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's a good question. I don't know.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Bosi.
MR. BOSI: Sure. I wanted to address your point related to the Board's ability to deviate
from all portions of the LDC -- or similar portions to the LDC.
5.05 has a specific provision that states that deviations of LDC Section 5.05.15, which is
the golf course conversion, shall be prohibited.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh.
MR. BOSI: The golf course conversion process says the Board of County Commissioners
can't deviate from this process except for within G. G.2.B -- or 2.A does say, "The Board may
approve an alternative design" -- it's talking about the greenway. It says, "The Board may approve
an alternative design that was vetted at the stakeholder outreach meetings as provided for within
the section."
So in one section it says you can't deviate from any portion of it, and then the one portion
does says about the greenway, the greenway has an average width of 75 feet. It requires 100 foot
but can't go below 75 feet.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 162 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 55 of 85
The Board does have the ability per 5.05.15 to have an alternative design to
that -- specifically related to that provision, but then it says you can't deviate from any other section
of the intent-to-convert, and that's a portion of what has been a little bit of ambiguity in terms of the
application of the code.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, that prohibition language -- it seems as though a lot of the
concerns that I've heard from the Planning Commission would be obviated if you just took that
language out. I mean, we don't need to create a sole discretion standard, because the Board has the
discretion to do what it wants with the LDC unless it's already closed the door, as apparently it did
with this prohibition language. Take the prohibition language out. Wouldn't that solve the
problem?
MR. BOSI: That most certainly would give the Board a much greater degree of flexibility
in terms of what they ultimately would be allowed to decide upon.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I'm trying to figure out how we're going to
proceed with this, because -- I want to do two things. Maybe you can highlight the significant
changes, but I'm really anxious to hear from the public, because whether you call it an
intent-to-convert or NIM 1 or NIM 2, I don't care what we call it. Somehow these names came up
years ago, but the fact is it was intended to notice them, allow them to provide input, hopefully the
developer and the community would work together to create what was the conversion and the
acceptable green space. That was -- that was what the intent was.
So I don't know how we want to proceed. If you want to just highlight and go through the
changes, then we could hear the public.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's a very good question, and I was going to try to address it,
and then I'll ask Mr. Bosi also to do so.
My recommendation is, is that we go through what staff has prepared --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- and provide our input. We also hear from the public and from
counsel for the various homeowners associations and get all of those ideas in place, and then find
out from Mr. Bosi where the county has issues with our proposed changes and where it would
concede those, and then continue this and have staff come back with whatever changes staff
believes it wants to make based upon what it's heard from the public and what it's heard from the
Planning Commission.
And we may go forward with the Planning Commission recommendation and staff's
recommendation or, more preferably, we may go forward with something that we can all sign up
to.
Does that sound right?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Now, Commissioner Vernon. And, I'm sorry, Mr. Bosi. Let
Commissioner Vernon go, and then I'll ask you to talk.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So following the Chairman's suggestion, as we go through
this, are we going to be looking at a redline version of what was put together in 2017?
MR. BOSI: We have a redline version. Almost the entire -- almost the entire process is
redlined, but I'll go through it.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That's what we're -- that's what we're going to go through.
So we're going to see the original --
MR. BOSI: Yes, yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. And then the other question is for Heidi on -- the
Chairman mentioned about -- well, you mentioned and then the Chairman commented on that there
is prohibition language in there, and if we remove that, as the Chairman says, is that one -- I guess
the question, is that one of the key elements -- and I'm sure there's more than one -- but is that one
of the key elements of the three Bert Harris Act claims that there is that prohibition in there?

MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes. The width of the greenway is an issue in each of the cases.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: The width of the greenway but also the lack of --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Discretion.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Discretion, thank you.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good point.
Mr. Bosi.
MR. BOSI: What I would say, overall for the intent-to-convert process, so this is how it
works: For -- to convert a golf course from its current GC zoning district to an alternative use,
before they're even allowed to submit a rezoning application, they have to go through the
intent-to-convert process, and that requires two SOM meetings. There's a lot of procedural things
that they have to do that -- that help promote or are trying to promote dialogue.
But I think where you're going to hear the objections from the public is related to the
green-space requirements, the greenway requirements, and the open-space requirements. Those
are the things that have to carry over and be incorporated withinto whatever development that is
being proposed.
How they -- how they exchange the dialogue in terms of the stakeholder outreach meeting,
the visual survey preference, these type of things, those are just to promote better dialogue. But
the hard components, I think, that are most important to the communities that surround the golf
courses that would be eventually -- would be the greenway buffers that are provided that are
instructed to be 100 feet along the outside of any converted golf course as well as the open-space
requirements and the tree requirements.
So think about those as we're going through the things that are being proposed as a
replacement and then as I go through the redlines, and then I think you're going to
probably -- you'll hear the perspective -- the public will be able to provide the clarification if I was
offset on any one of those areas.
So looking at what staff had proposed, we had said instead of having those two stakeholder
outreach meetings that are required, we're saying a neighborhood information meeting is required
after a pre-application meeting is held. They have to -- they have to have a neighborhood
information meeting before they could submit an application. That's intended to try to promote
that dialogue that we said.
Let's have the developer hear what their concerns are and maybe find some areas of
agreement that they're able to incorporate withinto whatever they're being proposed, but also -- and
this is really important -- is No. 3, under D, a title report that identifies the current owner of the
property and all encumbrances that are required as part of a rezone or an SRA application. That
really gives us the understanding of this golf course. Does it have any drainage commitments?
How is it tied -- you know, what are -- what are the easement restrictions that would be associated
that we have to know about before we go to -- before we go -- or when we go through a rezone
application, because those are things that are going to dictate, you know, what needs -- you know,
where the priorities -- or what things need to be taken care of.
Then we retain -- we retain the greenway requirements of a proposed conversion. It's
supposed to be continuous [sic] to the existing residents and all properties surrounding the existing
golf course and shall generally be located on the perimeter, maintaining an average width of
50 feet. That's a reduction from the 100 feet that's currently required by the code, and I think that's
obviously going to be something that the surrounding property owners are probably concerned
about.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's not only a reduction, but it's also based upon an average
calculation.
MR. BOSI: Yes, yes.
The greenway may be counted towards open-space requirement for the project as
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 164 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 57 of 85
established by LDC 4.02. That's another component that's retained. The greenway has always
been able to be counted towards the open space of the proposed development.
Existing trees and understories encouraged to be preserved and maintained within the
greenway with minimal improvements needed to provide for -- and the canopy tree, the ratio is
basically the same as what's contained within it. So that's another hard fact, a hard commitment
that has been retained from the intent-to-convert that has to be provided for within the new
development.
Greenways shall not include the required yards of any proposed individual lots. That's
another one that's retained from the current development -- or the current ITC requirement.
A wall or fence is not required between the greenway and the proposed development, but if
it is, it has to be connected in a way to allow for wildlife to have movement within those facilities.
A portion of the greenway may be -- may provide stormwater management; however, the
greenways shall not create more than 30 percent additional lake areas that existed pre-conversion
of the greenway, another component that was carried over from the ITC to the proposed
amendment.
Another one, the applicant shall record a restrictive covenant at the time of the subdivision
or plat or SDP, describe the use, maintenance of the greenway, and who's to take care of it related
to the zoning action. That's another one that was carried over from the existing regulations.
And then, finally, 8 we spoke about. That's the one that we did from the legal team that
said that we absolutely needed to have this in here, and the Board has the ability and authority to
grant deviations as a sole discretion, not limited to but including the reduction within the greenway.
Now, I will say that currently within the existing -- the existing regulations, as I pointed it
out, it does give the Board the ability to provide alternative designs if they were spoken about
during any SOMs. So that's -- that provision takes the existing provision that gives the Board
some limited discretion in terms of deviation and expands it, and we do not retain that prohibition
of any other deviations against 5.05.15.
So that is -- that -- not carrying that restriction over doesn't give the Board more flexibility
to be able to deviate from anything that has a dimensional standard. Because the way that the
Board operates is anything that has a dimensional standard within our Land Development Code,
you can seek a deviation from. You can't seek deviations from use. They're not allowed to do
use variances. But you can seek a deviation from anything that's dimensional. So that restriction
that is currently in 5.05.15 that the Board can't make any deviations other than what's the
greenway, that's been removed.
And then now I will just kind of highlight, the next seven to eight pages are the existing
regulations as they exist.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Before you do so, I'm trying to decide what is really the best and
most efficient way for us to proceed. And I'm going to offer this to the Board, and whatever the
Board decides is what we'll do.
We now -- we now have the proposed new 5.05.15 in front of us, and it's all blue language.
So a page and a half. I probably have six comments addressed to this, and then I probably have a
greater number -- I know it's a greater number of comments addressed to what is being taken out,
that is to say the things that are redlined. But they're kind of two separate subjects, the way I see
them.
And so my idea would be that we pause -- that we ask Mr. Bosi to pause for a moment
while we offer our comments to the proposed new stuff and then see how we go after that with
respect to what is being removed from the old stuff.
Does that make sense?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Mr. Bosi, is that okay with you?
MR. BOSI: Sure. Your discretion, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No one is signaling at this point. Why don't I start, if I may.

Page 58 of 85
And so this is -- it starts at Page 799 of 850 of the packet, and it's the beginning of the blue
lined -- the blueline language, 5.05.15, conversion of golf courses.
Subsection Capital A says, "The purpose of this section is to require an additional step of
public involvement and to add a greenway requirement." I would respectfully submit that the
language goes far beyond those two stated purposes. In some ways taking away from them, in
some ways adding provisions that don't relate to either of those two. Whether that's a good thing
or a bad thing, I don't know, but I just don't think that that sentence is a fair statement of what then
follows.
Then I'll just continue here, and we can talk about it. Then in C.3, "Golf courses that do
not abut and/or are not adjacent to." So my question is, but residences could still be close by but
not directly adjacent to, and we talked about this in my meeting with staff on Tuesday. And the
example I use is, what about if there's a road that comes between the resident's property and the
golf course proper? Does that -- does that break the continuity? And I believe -- I believe,
Mr. Bosi, you said that it breaks the abutment but not the adjacency.
MR. BOSI: Yeah, the adjacency still provides that that would be -- the relationship would
be there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And then I go to D.2 after the "completing the required
pre-submittal NIM." So now there would be two NIMs, a pre-submittal and a post submittal. But
at present, before this were to be changed, you've got two SOMs and one NIM. And so my
question is, is how is the public better served by having two NIMs versus three opportunities for
input?
MR. BOSI: I'm not sure if the public is better served. This was a reflection that the
outcomes of the SOMs did not yield the benefits that were expected. So the idea was this was that
first opportunity for the public, before an application is submitted, to identify the issues most
important to them or the most concerning to them to the development community. If you would
think that it would be improved by two individual NIMs before an application was submitted, I'll
defer to, you know, the Planning Commission's discretion on that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm not sure we need three of anything. But I guess my question
is, is that what does a -- what would one NIM accomplish that two SOMs wouldn't accomplish?
Because you say the outcome was is that we weren't getting agreement. We weren't getting
public --
MR. BOSI: My estimation is that pre-submittal NIM would probably have the same
results that the SOMs have, is that there would just be entrenchment in terms of the residents not
wanting the development and the developer saying that they had to convert their golf course to an
alternative use.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But -- so staff believes that there is a greater likelihood of some
concessions being made by the developer if it takes the format of one NIM versus two SOMs?
MR. BOSI: Staff feels that there's not a tremendous amount of concessions that are made,
whether there's one, two, four, or six. We're proposing one in the hope that there could be some
compromise or there could be some issues that were identified prior to an application that could
inform that application of those concerns.
But having two NIMs doesn't seem like it's a benefit, in staff's perspective, from what
we've experienced from the entrenchment of both parties during this process, that we found that
those outcomes aren't yielding themselves.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Do you want to jump in on this point?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, because I just want to make sure we don't create
this new definition of a NIM. A NIM is nothing more than the developer advising the community
of the intent of the rezone and to garner input. It is not a staff meeting. It is not an approval
meeting. Staff is only there to record and to assure the public that the staff POC is identified, and
if any issues, they can contact that point of contact.
The NIM is not an agreement process. It's just nothing more than an information meeting.
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 166 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 59 of 85
So that's -- I think that's why we avoided calling it a NIM in the first place, because the
intent-to-convert was to receive input from the community and hopefully that, between the
developer and the community, would make adjustments accordingly.
MR. BOSI: That's really what our NIMs are, Joe.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, they are. Yeah, I agree. That's what a NIM is.
But it's not meant to come to a resolution. It's nothing more than an information process. I don't
know. I just want to make sure we don't --
MR. BOSI: And I think the stakeholder outreach meetings were intended and similar -- in
the similar vein --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, it was.
MR. BOSI: -- trying to promote that conversation. I'm not sure if we expected that
resolution was going to be provided. But the intent of why we crafted it the way we did with all of
the procedures was trying to find areas of compromise.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Further to that point -- and I agree with what you said -- I would
take it an additional step that if we were going to go from two SOMs to one NIM -- which you can
make a case for it, but I want to be sure that all of the current NIM rules would apply to both
NIMs --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- including the full transcript.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Correct. That's what I -- basically, we don't now change
the definition of a NIM.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Right. No, no. I'm not looking to put more -- more content into
the NIM, but I just want it to be the same kind of a NIM that we already have, just the timing is is it
occurs pre-application.
All right. I'm going to retain the floor, if I may --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yep.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- for a moment, and then I'll be finished with the blue
underlining.
The -- E.1, average width, when you have average width, of course, that could result in, at
some points in the perimeter, there being no separation at all because the average there would be
zero, and you'd have to have 100 feet somewhere else in order to balance it out.
And I could -- I could find some numbers that I could be comfortable with, but they would
involve also having a "but not less than," a minimum, a floor, if you will. In other words, an
average width of X, but not less than X -- not less than Y. So that's a comment that I have on that.
Then on E.3, there's this word "encouraged" again that I raised with Mr. Weeks, and he and
I had comments about this back in the days of Rivergrass, that it really is a word that means
nothing and requires nothing, and I just -- I don't like language like that. I mean, either -- either
trees and understory shrubs should be required to be preserved, or we take the language out. But
"encouragement" is just wasting words because it's -- you know, it doesn't accomplish anything.
MR. BOSI: And I would say we'd still have that minimum requirement for the tree ratio
in terms of the one to 2,000 square feet, one tree per every 2,000 square feet of the greenway. So
we are encouraging more than that, but we're requiring the minimum of that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I get that.
MR. BOSI: And we can strike that if that's the discretion of the Planning Commission,
because it doesn't do anything, like you said.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We saw -- yeah. Thinking back to the Rivergrass experience,
there was an effort on the part of Mr. Weeks to encourage a lot of things, but they were ignored,
and they were ignored by a developer who was acting within his rights.
So the teaching of that matter to me was -- is that this is a legally nugatory or nullity and
shouldn't -- shouldn't be included in here. That's just -- so I'm just putting these ideas out. I'm not
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 167 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

trying to resolve anything at this point.
Then I go down to Section 7, "The applicant shall record a restrictive covenant." And
Mr. Bosi and I spoke about this on Tuesday. I just wanted to insert the word "perpetual," because
that -- and I think that's what staff intended, and I think Mr. Bosi agrees to that; do you not, sir?
MR. BOSI: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
Then it gets to 8, Section 8. "The Board has the authority to grant deviations at its sole
discretion," I didn't know when I raised this at our Tuesday meeting that there was this prohibition
language. It's in here, but I just hadn't seen it.
And so something needs to be done about the prohibition language, I believe, because I
don't think the Board of County Commissioners should tie its hands with respect to anything since
it doesn't have any more of a crystal ball than we do. And my solution would be to delete the
prohibition rather than introducing new concepts like "sole discretion," because if you -- if you
were to include that comment in here, you have this -- what is this expression, "expressio unius
exclusio alterius," which means if you say something in one place, then you raise a question of
whether it doesn't exist in all the other places where you could have said it. So you're creating
problems by doing it.
Did I say that right, Commissioner Vernon?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I think you just made that up. I don't think that's actually
a term.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: You want to see if you could get away with it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: He called me. I quit.
No, I --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You lawyers. My God.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, you can take it --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, I'll stick up for us engineers. Come on.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. I've got some more Latin for you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I didn't understand a word he said.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Here's one for you to add a little levity in the room.
Semper ubi sub ubi. Do you know what that means? Always wear underwear. Thank
you very much.
All right. Now -- so to get serious again, if I may. I just don't think it's a good idea to
introduce a sole discretion concept into the Land Development Code. I think the solution is to
take the prohibition language out and give the Board of County Commissioners the authority to do
what they have in all other respects in here, which is to grant deviations. So that takes me through
the blue language. Does anybody else want to be heard on the blue language without reference to
Latin?
Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. And at the -- and it's really not -- it's a big picture,
and I'm probably being a little stubborn here. But I want to say this a different way. I think
what's driving the county commissioners, what's driving this, the only thing is we're getting sued on
Bert Harris Act claims.
I'm operating under the assumption that in 2017 there was a really good, solid process, and
Commissioner Schmitt's indicated this, that this was well thought out and well put together. And
at the end of the day, assuming the county commissioners buy into whatever we're suggesting,
there's going to be a litigator; a trial lawyer's got to walk into court. And if there's four or five
bases for the Bert Harris Act claims, the three that have been made, probably most of the
allegations have already been asserted.
And I would very much like our litigators to go in and say, we address these five points
and that's it. Because if we start changing stuff that is not the basis for the Bert Harris Act claims,
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 168 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 61 of 85
those good lawyers representing the developers are going to come in and say, "Oh, they totally
rewrote this," and we're just going to give them more ammunition.
So I don't want to give or take away -- I mean, the whole purpose of this, I think, was to
protect residents, and I'm not interested in taking away any residents' rights unless it is subjecting
us to a Bert Harris Act claim, but I'm also not interested in trying to tweak it to make it better, only
because I think it's going to make the litigator's job, the person representing the county's job harder
in defending the Bert Harris Act claim.
So that's the reason I'm being sort of stubborn about this. And let's just make the changes
we have to make and leave the rest alone. And I'm assuming it was done well the first time, other
than the Bert Harris claims.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm in general agreement with that. I'd also caution that if
we're -- the only thing, I think -- and please, County Attorney, correct me if I'm wrong -- there may
be some adjacency requirements and standing issues. But Bert Harris was -- is not just a
pro-developer protection. It's also calculated to protect the property interests of adjacent
landowners. And let's not lose sight of that, because if adjacent landowners get together and
manage to raise sufficient funds to hire a big-time law firm to bring a Bert Harris claim, we've got a
Bert Harris claim again. And so while I applaud all efforts to save taxpayers money by avoiding
unnecessary litigation, let's keep in mind that Bert Harris could be a two-way street.
Now -- so here we are at the redlining. And, Mr. Bosi, I think you're proposing that you
take us through the high points of what has been -- what are you suggesting?
MR. BOSI: I can do that, or we can -- I mean, you can open it up to the public to hear
what their concerns are to have a better context so when we review what's being removed, you
could hear -- and I think what they're probably going to do is probably point out the areas where
they have some objections to things being removed.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Well, as do I. And I think that's a good suggestion.
What about the Planning Commission? Should we go right to the public at this point?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah, I like that idea. And, again, you probably -- most
of you have never seen me before, but, you know, I usually very much want to listen to the public.
All I -- I think I'm being clear. I'm -- and this is just me, not everybody, but I'm not interested in
making any changes to this thing because I think it's pretty public friendly other than to protect
against a valid Bert Harris Act claim.
So I don't -- I don't need to hear 40 people -- this is just me. I don't need to hear 40 people
say, "Let's make a change" other than what I just said. And I don't know that -- I see -- I'm
guessing that's an attorney over there that you're -- somebody's represented. So, you know, I'm
sure your attorney will speak for you.
So I'm not trying to prevent anybody from talking, but I'm just saying I don't -- you've
heard what I've said. So I don't know that I need to hear the same thing over and over, is what I'm
trying to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's good.
And I think -- I want to be liberal, as we hear these, to allow Mr. Bosi or other members of
staff to comment immediately after a member of the public says what they have to say so that we
have the continuity, and I think that would be a pretty effective substitute for, Mr. Bosi, you going
through in advance, if that's agreeable with you.
MR. BOSI: I take the discretion of the Board.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And so I -- let's see. We've got -- we have two lawyers
out there who are representing groups?
MR. BOSI: I believe Mr. Pires and Mr. Lombardo are here for Lakewood. I'm
not -- Mr. Lombardo is here, I know. I think that's the only -- we have the written document that
was provided by Ms. Berkey, but I don't believe she is --
MS. CAMBELL: She's on Zoom.
MR. BOSI: Oh, she's on Zoom.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: She's on the phone, do you say?
MS. CAMBELL: I believe she is.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay, good. So Mr. Pires and Mr. Lombardo are from the same
firm?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: He says no one's on the phone.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No one's on the phone.
MR. BOSI: We have Zoom speakers, but I don't believe Ms. Berkey is on.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, okay. Well, we've got her -- I was hoping she would be here
because she made some very good comments. They appear as those balloon comments in one of
the iterations of the staff redlining that we had. Many are self-explanatory, and we can just go
through her comments and take them for what they're worth and have staff respond.
So unless there's objection from the Planning Commission, I'm going to suggest that we
start off with the lawyers and, within a reasonable amount of time, present their points of view so
that we can consider them, and we'll give staff an opportunity on the spot to respond and us, of
course, to ask questions and make comments. Does anybody object to that approach?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, then that's how we'll proceed. Mr. Lombardo.
MR. LOMBARDO: Good afternoon. For the record, Zach Lombardo here on behalf of
Lakewood Community Services Association. For reference, Tony's associate.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And you've been sworn in, sir?
MR. LOMBARDO: I don't know that I was sworn in, but is this a quasi-judicial hearing?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, it's not. Thank you. Never mind.
MR. LOMBARDO: I'm happy to be. I'll be honest.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, no. We're going to take you as George Washington
chopping down the cherry tree.
MR. LOMBARDO: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: But you're absolutely right, this is not quasi-judicial.
MR. LOMBARDO: Before getting into some of my more specific comments on the
proposal, I did want to comment a little bit about the Bert Harris observations, because I think this
is a very important part of this process.
There are two filed lawsuits that I'm aware of. If there are more, I think that should be
more specifically outlined to you-all so you can see specifically what these claims are.
The most recently filed one, 2024-CA-315 involving the Riviera course, this has been
stayed. The county filed a motion to stay and contingently a motion to dismiss for ripeness issues,
kind of addressing some of the comments you-all had made about how could there be a Bert Harris
claim at this point in this process?
So the county has taken this position. The case has been stayed because, in a separate
action, there's a question about what restrictions, what private restrictions apply to that property
and whether it can be changed from a golf course at all.
So that claim at the current status isn't in a -- in a place where it can provide helpful
instructions as to what the problem is because the Court hasn't weighed in at all as to whether it
believes it's a valid claim.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you for that information. It also means that we're not
under unusual pressure to get this resolved, and if we do send it back, if we continue this for further
drafts, we're not going to be slowing down the process.
MR. LOMBARDO: That's certainly my observation, but I absolutely would defer to your
counsel.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right.
MR. LOMBARDO: The other, an older case, 2023-CA-1795, Naples Golf Development,
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 170 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 63 of 85
this one I think is important to point out, that is not a golf course zoned property. It's an
agriculturally zoned property, so it's a little bit of an apples-and-orange issue when it comes to this
particular situation.
And in that case, your attorneys have filed a motion for summary judgment that is being
heard in September. And I want to point out, there's a great line at the end of the motion. This is
the County Attorney's, Greg Woods' writing. "If plaintiff would simply stop using the property as
a golf course and use it only as a residential property, as it claims it wishes to do, the county would
have no grounds to attempt to apply the golf course conversion ordinance to the property." That's
the county's motion.
So the significance of pointing this out is that property seems to be in a very different
position than a lot of what the residents here are in and a lot of what this typically applies to, which
is the nine neighborhoods where there are golf course zoned properties in the middle of them.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: What was that other property, then?
MR. LOMBARDO: This is the Naples Golf Development case, which I believe this
property is --
MR. BOSI: The Links of Naples down on the East Trail, the one -- I believe they have
night golf there.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. LOMBARDO: And that's -- that -- and in the summary judgment motion, your
attorneys are also arguing failure to exhaust administrative remedies, failure to follow various
processes. And there will be a hearing on this, according to the docket, in September. And so I
think after September, you-all will have a lot more information as to validity of these claims,
because I think reacting to the filing of a lawsuit is very different than reacting to, for example,
losing at trial or losing at summary judgment.
Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But The Links -- there's no homes around The Links, per
se. There's nothing out there.
MR. BOSI: There's -- there's --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: They were -- that was an intent-to-convert as well?
MR. BOSI: They were instructed that they had to follow the intent-to-convert.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh.
MR. BOSI: And that's one of the improvements we've made is to clarify that that would
not -- that would not fall within the intended process for intent.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I would agree, but I'd defer to the County Attorney. But
I have to agree, that probably would not have been required to go through an intent-to-convert
because there's really nothing else out there. There's car storage and some other things.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We're probably not going to get too much out of the County
Attorney because it's pending.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. That's right. Enough said.
MR. LOMBARDO: And I just -- my only point is, let's look at the filed claims and make
sure that we're addressing them. And I would submit that one is an orange to these apples, and the
other one is way too early to decide.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
MR. LOMBARDO: Getting into the actual proposed amendments here, the -- in the staff
report, there's a statement that what was attempted to be accomplished here was to require
preservation of a portion of the greenway in a proposed conversion project. And I think the major
objection coming from Lakewood is that these changes really eviscerate that concept.
And the first place I'd like to point to is under the new 5.05.15.E in the greenway
requirements, this average width of 50 feet. In addition to objecting to the idea of switching to an
average measurement tool, the prior standard was -- had an average of 100 with a minimum of 75.
That's in G.2.B of the current ordinance. So dropping down to 50, removing any minimum,
5.A.b

and -- it leads to a situation where I think you do step into this space where Bert Harris claims can
go different directions.
So the standard is an inordinate burden to property. There are questions about
investment-backed expectations. And so the whole concept here is to protect property owners
who bought on an open space, essentially.
And so the greenway piece of this is a critical component to make sure that the open space
piece is preserved. And if we're doing averages, that means behind one particular house maybe we
can get down to two or three feet as long as this is a long enough greenway span.
So it's -- if we're getting to the point that there is going to be a general ability for the
County Commission to allow for deviation, which I don't know that we're contesting that point,
why would we change the base standards as well to remove this? Let's keep what we have,
because that is not something that in and of itself is a problem, at least not that I'm aware of.
So my second comment, similar to that, is that if we're going to add this sole discretion
language -- I think you-all have thoroughly discussed this, and I think your analysis makes the most
sense. Instead of saying "sole discretion," the prohibition can be removed, and it can be treated
like the balance of the Land Development Code and not create a sort of alternative standard.
Because there's more than just the Bert Harris law out there when it comes to how we regulate in
local governments. One of the standards is that the decisions made by the governing bodies
themselves cannot be arbitrary. There has to be some kind of framework for these things.
So to put in language like "sole discretion," arguably a decision that could be made under
that is simply, well, we would just like to not have a greenway here because four of us or three of
us, whatever the standard is, feel that way.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: In other words, arbitrary.
MR. LOMBARDO: Arbitrary. And so at the end of the day, that's not protecting the
county because we're having an arbitrary and capricious issue.
One note -- and I think this was present in the prior version, but if we're going to go back
and do some cleanup, I think it's important to focus on consistency of language. And all of this, by
the way, is in our submitted written materials.
But when we're talking about the development that's around these golf courses, there's
three different phrases used: Residentially zoned properties, residential development, and
residential properties. I think this can be cleaned up to avoid some confusion to make sure that
we're always talking about the same thing here when it comes to these properties. And I think
some of that might help clean up this issue with The Links as to whether that was something that
this should have triggered at all if we're very clear as to what the surrounding properties are to
trigger this entire process.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Bosi and I talked about this on Tuesday, and my question
was, is there any reason why we can't go to the term "residential uses" instead? And so I'd ask
Mr. Bosi what staff's response is to Mr. Lombardo's point.
MR. BOSI: That would trigger The Links of Naples to have to go through the process
because it's zoned agricultural but there's residents' houses that are adjacent to that golf course;
therefore, you can trigger it saying, because it's residentially used, therefore, the golf course
conversion should apply. That's why we use "residentially zoned."
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's not a golf course. It's ag.
MR. BOSI: It's developed as a golf course.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No. It's being used as a golf course, but it's not zoned a
golf course. It's ag.
MR. BOSI: I don't believe the intent-to-convert requires that the golf course be zoned golf
course.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, it should be. I mean, that was the intent. Why
would we prohibit --

MR. BOSI: We can't go back and talk about --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You guys can -- you need to look at that. I mean, I
would agree.
MR. LOMBARDO: And to be clear, I'm not advocating -- we're not here saying it should
say "residential use." I'm just saying it should be the same term, because you're using "residential
development" in the current proposed new one, which would still trigger The Links because it's
residential development.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, I could put cows out there tomorrow.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So staff is going to take those comments and --
MR. LOMBARDO: And then turning a little bit to the things that have been deleted, there
is a 5.05.15.G.1, previously approved open space. It talks about not being able to use this area for
open space if it's previously approved for the project. This makes a lot of sense. A lot of these
developments are using the golf course area as the open space for their development, and so
we're -- you had language in here that acknowledged that, and that language has been stricken. I
don't know if there's a reason for this or if that can be explained, but I didn't see it.
And this may dovetail into Commissioner Schmitt's comment about these Environmental
Resource Permits, because one thing we don't know -- and by the way, the county pointed this out
in one of their motions in the Bert Harris claim. They filed a motion to dismiss for failure to join
South Florida Water Management District because there are -- a lot of these golf courses are part of
the stormwater permits for these developments.
And so it's not accurate to say that the developer could come in and just do whatever they
want on these golf courses. They'd have to solve the stormwater problem, which in some cases
may not be possible, in which case I would suggest the county has no liability because -- because
of an intervening cause, it would not be possible to redevelop these golf courses. But, obviously,
that's your attorney's discretion to provide that.
The design standards, the lighting, and the setback requirements in 5.05.15.H have been
deleted. I don't know why those have been deleted. I don't know if there was a reason provided
for that.
There was some stormwater language in 15.G.4 that was deleted and, again, not sure why
that would be pulled out. I mean, hopefully the South Florida standards would cause that strikeout
to not be necessary, and maybe that's the reasoning. Maybe staff's consideration is that there's a
second level of regulation here that would come in. But if that's the case, I think it should be
explained.
There is some language about tree removal -- hold on one second -- to address kind of the
exotic and prohibited trees. I'm looking at 15.G.2.
So -- but in general -- and I think our letter goes into some depth. And certainly Katie
Berkey's letter. And hopefully she'll join Zoom -- goes into even greater depth with suggested
edits. But I don't know that that approach -- and I agree with Commissioner Vernon on this. I
don't know that this entire approach makes sense because you have, again, as I'm aware, two filed
Bert Harris claims. If there's more, I think that should be put onto the record.
And if we're just totally rewriting this system without understanding why we're totally
rewriting the system -- for example, if we're rewriting it because of Links, which is not a property
that we're all clear should be in the system and another one where the Court has taken no
dispositive action whatsoever, that's a very reactive response to something that had an extensive
amount of time going into these hearings, because this -- and I understand it's coming from the
County Commission, and that's not a criticism of staff at all.
But it does seem like what was talked about today is that there is very small adjustments
that could be made that would aid the county's litigation efforts and manage the investment-backed
expectations of all of the many homeowners that live around these golf courses. In Lakewood
specifically, there's actually two golf courses. So there's two possible places where this could be
triggered.

And so if there's any --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Vernon.
MR. LOMBARDO: -- specific questions.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. Zach, I thank you for that. It's a good
presentation -- that was a good presentation.
Who are the -- if you know -- because it sounds like you've studied it. On the two
cases -- it sounds like there's three, but you're aware of two. Is that one law firm bringing both
cases; do you know?
MR. LOMBARDO: No.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Are they in-town or out-of-town lawyers?
MR. LOMBARDO: The Riviera case is Coleman, Yovanovich & Koester.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Oh.
MR. LOMBARDO: And the Naples Development case, I don't believe that's an in-town
firm, but I have the signature block right here.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. So Yovanovich is on one of them?
MR. LOMBARDO: Yes. And then the other firm is Bartlett, Loeb, Hinds & Thompson
out of Tampa for the Naples Golf Development.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: They do a lot of land use?
MR. LOMBARDO: I do not know, sir.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. And then you -- I think you agree with the
Chairman on the -- there's that prohibition language in there, and it's -- if we take the prohibition
language in there, then we don't need Paragraph 8. I think that's what the Chairman's suggesting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: My only concern -- again, I always defer to the guy
standing in the courtroom talking to the judge -- it's going to take a while -- it may take a while,
depending on the judge and the situation, to explain, "Well, Judge, they have that discretion
anyway." Even though, technically, the Chairman's right, is there a downside to simply adding
that sentence so in court Greg Woods, or whoever's representing us, can say, "Judge, it's right
here," as opposed to, "Well, Judge, they have that authority anyway," from your perspective?
MR. LOMBARDO: From my perspective, and purely my perspective, obviously -- the
County Attorney has to provide you advice. But from my perspective, the downside is creating
something that is different than anywhere else in the Land Development Code and doing it in an
extremely specific way that suggests an arbitrary level to it, because there is an existing practice for
how the county handles deviations. It's understood, and it's throughout the code.
So to specifically in this section use the phrase "sole discretion," I think opens up the
county to a different type of exposure. But that's -- I don't -- again, I do agree with the concept
that that's the direction of this amendment. It should be something more specific like that.
I thought it was very interesting that County Attorney's review indicated there was one
sentence to add, and that was it. And then what we're looking at is major changes.
And so we -- I guess, if I had to summarize everything that we're saying on behalf of
Lakewood, it's we would prefer that route. We think that's what makes the most sense, and we
think that's what makes the most sense for the county given the two cases that we've looked at.
But if you are going to get into it, we think some of these substantive provisions should be there,
because even in the discretionary world where they have the ability to do deviations, it helps to
have some framework as to what it should look like.
So if they're going to have -- the Board's going to have the ability to do deviations, why are
we worried about reducing the greenway size and removing the minimum size and switching to an
average? It seems like it's too much of a reduction for no reason, because they have the discretion.
If there's some compelling feature of the land or there's maybe, perhaps, a water feature that makes
this very unworkable, that's the time when the county can -- and you-all can and the planners can
find a way around this. But by keeping the baseline, the minimum widths and the higher averages,
5.A.b

August 1, 2024
Page 67 of 85
you're going to get a better result for the surrounding property owners, and I don't think it's
unworkable for the developers.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: So you like -- you like -- I'm just restating to make sure I
understand. You like the simplistic approach used by the county, they simply added one sentence,
but you'd probably do it -- and this is your opinion -- do it a little different. You'd do it like the
Chairman's suggesting. You wouldn't add one sentence. You'd drop the prohibition language,
and you'd be done?
MR. LOMBARDO: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And maybe if there -- if there's concern about doubt, you could
say, "And for the avoidance of doubt, the deviations here should be treated exactly like other
deviations in other circumstances."
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Thoughts?
MR. LOMBARDO: I think that would, again, kind of get into the territory of making it
different than elsewhere in the Land Development Code. But I'm not -- that would be -- in my
view, any version of that, including the one sentence, I think, would be preferable to rewriting all
of the code, I think, is my bigger point here. I don't -- I'm certainly not your planner, and I'm not
your attorney.
But I feel that there's -- to go back to Commissioner Schmitt's point, there was a lot of
work that went into this process, and the communities are clearly impacted by this. And,
interestingly, this is a very narrow and specific issue because it's not -- it's really nine
neighborhoods. And so when those people come out and show up and participate, I think it's
important to listen to them.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: If you were to go with the existing text, you know, the LDC text
as it exists without the proposed strikethroughs, you would still need the deviation language,
because we have deviations expressly authorized by the PUD section, but we don't have it for
conditional uses, and we don't have it for straight rezones. So you would need to have that added
in.
MR. LOMBARDO: And I think all we're looking to avoid is the "sole discretion"
language. I think there needs to be some kind of basis for the deviation, so --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
MR. LOMBARDO: -- deferring to your County Attorney, absolutely.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Schumacher.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Thank you. That was a great presentation, Zach.
I agree with the majority of what you said. The one thing I was kind of wondering, Lakewood's
completely built out, no extra land could be developed.
MR. LOMBARDO: That's my understanding.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Okay. Traffic-wise, they probably see the same
thing as everybody else during season, right? So if somebody was to put application in for
something in Lakewood to build another residential community in there, that would, obviously,
quadruple the amount of cars on their roads.
MR. LOMBARDO: There's a significant concern about traffic with these applications.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I think that would be a good place to start with
these is -- I know the traffic portion or transportation portion of it comes into play during the
application process, but I think that when we're looking at this process, it needs to be presented up
front that the current roadways, obviously, cannot be expanded to four lanes in most of these
communities. They are what they are. They're already built.
And that the additional transportation in there that would be over and above whatever the
membership was for said golf course that was there previously, it would be too much of a strain on
that transportation system within the community. I mean, does that make sense to you, Mike, or
am I off -- or am I way off topic?

MR. BOSI: Those would be -- those would be issues that would be analyzed during the
rezone process.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Anything further, Mr. Lombardo?
MR. LOMBARDO: No. Thank you very much for receiving my comment.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Mike wants to say something.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh. Mr. Bosi.
MR. BOSI: I would point out that the comments that Zach made were exclusively really
to the development standards contained in G within the intent-to-convert. Some of the issues that
we have found with the stakeholder outreach meetings is to prescribe activities that the developers
have to provide for in that regard, that they have to provide for specific alternative development
statements. They have to provide for an aspect, a narrative of no conversion. They have to
provide for a county purchase, a conceptual development plan that shows the various -- the various
aspects for how they could -- they would redevelop.
So I think some of those procedural steps were things that staff found that weren't yielding
those results. But just to let you know that I think what you're going to hear -- the majority of the
objections will be modifications that we -- are being proposed against the existing development
standards that are contained in 5.05.15, because I didn't hear -- I didn't hear any objections to the
removal of the -- some of -- the visual preference survey or the alternative development statements.
There really wasn't any commentary towards that.
So just in the back of your mind, as we're going through this, I think, try to focus upon if
these are all on the development statements, then maybe that's -- that could be a course that we
retain some of those or retain the majority of those based upon some of the decisions you want to
make and the minimal amount of changes that you want to make, just for -- just for thought.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. LOMBARDO: Can I briefly respond to that?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Please.
MR. LOMBARDO: Because, in part, my comments -- and typically in public comment
we're sort of triaging with time. And so I think we're mainly -- we're mainly focused on the
development standards because those are the long-ranging pieces that are going to impact these
communities.
But, again, our position is to go with the County Attorney's more scalpel approach which
would leave all of those pieces in place, and I think it's a little hard to talk about some of those
pieces because there are -- there's very helpful things that come out of these meetings, and one of
the big pieces about all of those options is it helps tee up a better conversation, potentially, about
the community purchasing the property.
And I think -- I can't go into some details on some of that, but in Lakewood this has been
somewhat effective to be able to have these meetings and these -- additional information so that the
community can really evaluate this. Because at the end of the day, there does have to be a line
where a neighbor can't influence the next property owner because they don't own it, but maybe in
this unique situation, if enough information is gathered and provided, a meaningful conversation
about purchase can be started.
So we do think that all of those provisions should remain. It's just that when we're looking
at the long-range effects, and when we're looking at the lawsuits, the focus seems to be not on that.
The focus seems to be on the actual greenway and the buffering space.
And so, again, going back to the direction that came from the Board, the Board's very
focused on these lawsuits. And unless I'm missing something, and Heidi can correct me, but I
don't believe the lawsuits emphasize the administrative process. They're focused on the actual
dimensional requirements, so that's why my comments focused that way.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
It seems to me as though we are headed for sending this back to staff. Anybody who
disagrees, please let me know. Maybe we can get it completed today, but I doubt it, because I
want to see some revised language in a number of these things, and I want staff to have had the
benefit of the comments we made and that were made by counsel and members of the public.
So that, I believe, is where we want to be headed. And it may turn out that there are three
options. Option number one, to just go with a single sentence -- the single-sentence option, which
I don't personally favor, partly -- maybe largely because I don't think the Board of County
Commissioners is going to go with that. I think they had a -- they had a more sweeping idea of
what needed to be done maybe without -- without having homed in on exactly the provisions that
they were unhappy with. But -- so one option would be the single-sentence option.
A second option would be that staff helps us craft a Planning Commission preferred option
where we can agree, at least by a majority vote, if not unanimously, and send that on, and staff
would have its own recommendation which may incorporate some of our suggestions like the word
"perpetual" and "easement" and a few other things, but they may still want to go with their own
independent version, and that's fine.
And then a third possibility would be that we and staff can get together and send something
to the Board of County Commissioners that we like and staff likes and we all believe is something
that meets the request of the Board of County Commissioners.
So anybody want to comment on that?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, sir.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Somebody got it before me. Who's 1? Somebody --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, Commissioner Vernon is first.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Oh, I was going to say I guess a nuisance is do we go with
the single sentence, or do we also remove the prohibition, or you suggesting we do that? When
you say "single sentence," you mean remove the prohibition?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. I should have been more clear. We must remove the
prohibition if we go with the single sentence; otherwise, you can have a conflict.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Okay. So my -- I guess my comments -- I think
you -- you've got a pretty good idea. But my comments is, I just feel like this ought to go to legal
with staff helping as opposed to staff with legal helping because, again, the only reason we're doing
this is because of litigation.
And then I guess the last comment I'd make, I'd probably go with No. 2 and maybe make a
few more changes simply because I do fear that the County Commissioners will not accept what
we propose if we just change one sentence. That -- and that sounds like a crazy way to do it, but I
do want to do what they ask us to do, again, through the filter of how do we win the lawsuit and
nothing more, which is Mr. Lombardo's point.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. And I agree with your comments.
One thing I'll say here, and I can only operate at the outer perimeter, the outskirts of what
might be an understanding that has been reached over the years between the County Attorney's
Office and the Growth Management Department. But there is a -- I think preceded by some long
sessions of perhaps disagreement arriving at a compromise as to whose authority is the Growth
Management and whose authority is County Attorney.
I learned rather early on, sitting up here, that what I think should be a matter for the
attorney, as a result of this compromise that's been reached years ago, may not be the way that the
county internal government works. And I'm not trying to change the way the government works
by saying "this needs to be primarily the County Attorney or primarily Growth Management." I
think we need to just rely on, you know, if we send it back, that they're going to -- they're going to
address it in a way that they have -- that's consistent with the understanding that they've reached
over the years.

Any comments from the County Attorney or Growth Management? Am I way off base?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: The zoning director has clear authority.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: To interpret.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Based on --
MR. BOSI: There's matters --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- state statutes.
MR. BOSI: I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. The county -- the state statutes clearly empowers
the zoning director with that authority. The County Attorney, my understanding, is the legal
advisor and the advisor to the Board of County Commissioners. But under state statute, that -- that
does fall under the zoning director.
MR. BOSI: And the interpretation of the Land Development Code and the GMP has been
designated to the County Manager or designee, which falls upon me.
The County Attorney Office does not work for -- is not part of general-purpose county
government staff. They work for the County Attorney, Mr. Klatzkow, who has a specific -- who
works for the Board of County Commissioners.
We work in hand and good team work, but there is most certainly a line of responsibilities
and a chain of command that is different between myself and what Ms. Ashton deals with.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Right. The only point I was making -- and I'm in agreement what
the Vice Chairman -- is when we say we're sending this back, we're not prescribing who is to do
what, because there are state statutes, and there are many years of compromise and understandings
reached, I know, because I've had conversations with Jeff Klatzkow. And we're not trying to upset
any of that. So when we say send it back, we know that you'll handle it in the way that is
consistent with the statutes and your long-term agreements of who's responsible for what.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Any action that comes to us usually -- there's certainly a
paragraph that says legal sufficiency and the legal comment.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Can I offer, I think -- we're probably going to need to take
a break here soon, but...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We do, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But I don't want to get into trying to write legislation on
the fly here. I have about six or seven points I want to add. I'm waiting to hear from the public,
and then I think we can provide what I think is a comprehensive list of items for staff to look at and
come back to us with a -- I would say a rewrite, because I certainly want to -- I concur with many
of the points Mr. Lombardo brought up and Tony Pires brought up, and also I think -- I think that
we could give them some ammunition, and they can come back to us. We're not going to -- we're
not going to solve this today.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, no. You're exactly right, and I agree completely. But first
things first, we need to take a break. It's 2:14. We'll be back at 2:24. We're in recess.
(A brief recess was had from 2:14 p.m. to 2:24 p.m.)
MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi.
My plan for this afternoon, subject to what Planning Commission wants to do, we're going
to go for another two hours to around 4:30, plus or minus, and within that time, I want to have
heard from all members of the public, and having talked to staff, who's monitoring this, that's not
an insurmountable opportunity or option for us within that time.
Then after we've heard from people who want to speak, if we have time remaining, I'd like
to turn to Ms. Berkey's comments, which are in those balloons. But if we don't get to those, I'm
going to ask the Planning Commission members to be sure that they have read and understand
them. And the comments are quite clear. And ask staff, when it takes all of this under
submission and does its rewrite, to give appropriate affect to Ms. Berkey's comments.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good afternoon.
MR. OSINSKI: My name is Peter Osinski. I am a Board member at Riviera Golf
Estates. I'm also the Chairman of the Golf Course Work Group Committee that has been
following the developments on this issue for a couple of years now.
As an aside, not only have we been to all of the appropriate meetings here, we have also
been represented -- personally, myself, Tricia Campbell, and Alan Carpenter went to the two
DSAC meetings also and made our understandings clear.
But first of all, I'd like to point out that on April 23rd, the Board of County Commissioners
discussed the golf course conversion regulations, and those deliberations were alluded to by
Mr. Bosi.
Our review of that video -- it is on video. It's still on my computer. I've watched it a few
times. Our review of that meeting is that they had no problem with the 100-foot greenway. It
was alluded to a couple times, and nobody said, "No, it should be less."
But they -- as they discussed the item -- and the item was brought up by an agenda item
brought up by Commissioner McDaniel, and the item was repeal of the golf course regulations,
which started the whole discussion.
The discussion, again, considered the greenway to be a given, the 100 foot, and there was
no question about that. But they did seem to want the authority to approve lesser dimensions,
which is understandable. I'd rather they didn't, but I understand their point of view. And they
unanimously rejected the idea of limiting -- on eliminating the golf course conversion regulations
and made a motion asking the Planning department to draft modifications that would streamline the
process and provide them more defense against Bert Harris claims. All right. So that's -- that's
what the Board asked for.
We, myself, Tricia Campbell, and Alan Carpenter, shortly thereafter, went to all three -- all
five commissioners. We went there after the first DS -- the proposed DSAC changes to the
regulations. We went there to tell them about what is being worked on in the DSAC and what is
being eliminated from our protections and gauged their receptiveness to them.
Most of them didn't know that that was happening. There were a variety of opinions about
5.A.b

what was happening, but none of -- them, none of them said, "Oh, this is what I want to see
happening." Most of them said, "No, this isn't -- this isn't right."
We had a couple that clearly said, "We are going to be against this."
So I'm not saying that for you to rely on as the gospel truth or a clear indication of where
they are. But we went through the trouble of going to the two DSACs. We went to the trouble of
speaking to every commissioner in their offices. And this is what we've come up with.
But, of course, after -- after they were asked at the meeting, the Planning department went
ahead, and we all know it, they reduced the greenway to an average of 50 feet, they eliminated the
35 percent open-space rule, and they eliminated the two prescribed SOM meetings, which as far as
I'm concerned has neutered our ability to be -- to have influence in the process.
Now, Mr. Bosi talked about the SOM meetings and the anecdotal understanding that the
SOM meetings were ineffective. Well, maybe they were, and maybe there's a reason why.
We had our first SOM meeting, and it was in a space that was too small. So the second
SOM meeting was scheduled, and we had that second SOM meeting. And, yes, both sides very
clearly articulated their positions, and they didn't match very well. One of the reasons was is
because the applicant was proposing a 20-foot greenway. How would you respond? All right.
But we all stated our case, and that was the first SOM.
Now, the second SOM happened three days later. Nothing changed between the first
SOM and the second SOM. So all parties simply restated their positions, maybe in a different
way, but restated their positions.
I was part of that. My impression was the SOMs did get people to express their opinions
about what was going on, but there was no extra step that would kind of distill what was learned
and maybe turned them into a number of viable alternatives for both parties to discuss. But that's a
discussion for another day.
Of the proposed changes, obviously the greenway is the most onerous one for us at Riviera
Golf Estates, because once you give the Board the power to change the greenway, it becomes a
negotiable item; therefore, reducing it from 100 feet to 50 feet means that now the bidding starts at
an already unacceptable level. Go from 100 to 50. And the process then incentivizes the
applicants to negate it -- negotiate it even lower. And we, the property owners, are the losers.
I bought my property in 2019. I was very much aware of the golf course conversion
regulations and considered the county I lived in as a very enlightened one because of them. Now
I'm looking at this, not so much. It is very disturbing. And you have already made that point and
understand our point of view, I'm quite sure of that.
So we can't help but wonder why these proposed regulations are so clearly hostile to RGE,
to our quality of life, to our security, to our property values. Because they are. It's very clear.
So in the process of considering these proposed regulations -- and I am so encouraged to
hear your deliberations thus far. But I come up with a few questions myself that you might
consider. Is it appropriate to make these significant changes to the Collier County Land
Development Code to address only a few specific properties?
Number 2, do these proposed regulations properly address, or do they go beyond what the
Board intended in its April 11th motion, to streamline the ITC process and provide some Bert
Harris protection?
Number 3, does the public benefit of these proposed regulations justify the significant
reduction of the protections for the property owners that are most affected by them?
Number 4, if the stated goal was to improve and make these regulations Bert Harris proof,
was it necessary to make such radical changes with some minor modifications to lessen the burden
on applicants?
And Mr. Bosi alluded to some concerns that we heard in the DSAC meetings, which I
think were considerable. To ask an applicant to produce two plans, both of which they have to pay
architects and all kinds of other people to do, is onerous. Is it necessary? It's something worth
looking into. Look at how to streamline that and make it better without compromising the intent
5.A.b

but also giving the BCC the authority to make the changes to the greenway. Really, that was all
that was needed.
And when you boil it down, Section G -- this is from memory now. Section G,
Paragraph -- Paragraph G, Sentence A, says, "The Board has the discretion to make changes to the
greenway design." The next -- the next sentence is B, and the B says, "The greenway shall be
100 feet, minimum 75 feet." And the Section B does not give the Board the discretion to change
that. That's really the nub of the problem right there and something you can look into.
Number 5, are the authors aware that these radical changes still don't protect the county
against Bert Harris claims? Because the Bert Harris law states that a claim can be initiated from
any action of a government entity which affects real property, including action on an application or
permit or adopting or enforcing any ordinance.
So how do we defend against that? Well, I don't think we do. I think we do the right
thing and defend it. That's public policy.
Has anyone considered these proposed changes will give abutting property owners Bert
Harris claims of their own? Of course, you do.
So we do appreciate you looking into all of these things. We also hope that you view
them in the context of whether or not they contribute to the overall public good, these changes, or,
more specifically, does revising the LDC to enable golf course property developers to cram more
housing into smaller tracts to the undeniable detriment of the surrounding property owners really
serve the public good?
I guess one of the things I wanted to say before I started this, but I'll say it at the end, is
this -- what I've been watching today reminds me of a Chinese proverb that goes, "Do not use a
hatchet to remove a fly from a friend's forehead."
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, sir.
Next speaker, please.
(Applause.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Let's -- if you don't mind refraining from applause.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I have a comment on the last statement he made, though.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Almost any rezoning action could be deemed an
infringement on neighboring property. So that's inherently built in the code, and that's inherently
part of our deliberation process when we look at all the criteria involved, whether it's compatibility,
density, traffic, all the other things. So I mean, that -- I understand your statement, but certainly
it's in every rezoning action, not simply the rezoning from golf course to residential.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Next speaker.
MR. SUMMERS: Next speaker we have is Tricia Campbell, and she is ceded time by
Phyllis Bartos.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Ms. Campbell.
MS. CAMPBELL: Tricia Campbell, 149 Estelle Drive. I'm president of Riviera Golf
Estates Homeowners Association and have been since 2022. Riviera's a senior living community
with over 1100 Collier County taxpaying residents.
There was a couple of things -- I don't want to just talk about Riviera, but there were a
couple of things that I wanted to clarify. First of all, yes, the golf course was designed in 1971,
and the homes were starting to be built in '73 to '78, in that area there.
The sole purpose, to build around the golf course. And they did put a deed restriction on
the property in 1973, and because of the MRTA Act, it was -- for some reason it was taken off the
deed, and because of MRTA, we had 30 years.
So 19 -- in 2017, there was no developer on the property. What happened was they had
the deed restriction till 2020, so when that was taken -- when the deed restriction was in the
MRTA, you know, Act, it ended up ending in 2020. We now have a litigation on that to
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 181 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 1, 2024
Page 74 of 85
investigate if the property is still under the deed restriction.
After they started the development, there was a Bert Harris claim in 20 -- I believe it was
2021 that Attorney Yovanovich put in a Bert Harris claim. That was dismissed by the board of
directors in that year.
Okay. Some of my notes I ended up crossing off because we already hit that subject. But
normally you'd have this room packed with Riviera residents. Because it's off season, a lot of
people are not here. But we totally disagree with the drastic regulation changes for the golf course
conversion. We find that this is a protection for any homeowners that are existing properties
outside of these -- the golf courses that were built.
Most of us paid a premium to live on the golf course. Not for the view, but for the open
space. After living here 14 years and going through two hurricanes and many rainstorms, I know
that existing abutters need the open space to avoid major stormwater damage.
Land absorbs the water. Swales divert the water. Striking out many important factors on
the golf course conversion will lead to [sic] many residents in RGE and other golf course
communities a feeling of uncertainty.
We feel that these changes are not needed at all because they're just proposed to assist a
landowner and a prospective buyer and not to safeguard the existing property owners. We see that
this a process driven by one attorney in opposition to the overwhelming public support for these
protective regulations to all communities surrounding golf courses.
We think adoption by the county will only lead to more lawsuits, as you had stated a
possibility with homeowners doing Bert Harris claims themselves, not helping to avoid lawsuits.
Last year Collier County did a survey to assist us in the purchase of the property. This
isn't the first time that we have approached the owners to purchase the property. We had one vote,
but we lost the vote in the community. We had a private group that put together over a million
dollars pledged to them and had offered Mr. Grund at RGE a proposal to buy the course.
And this particular one, the assistance with the county, I wanted to make it clear that we
never were against the proposal, but we have a lot of senior citizens on fixed income. With a price
tag of 17- to $2200 a year, a lot of our taxpayer -- I mean, excuse me, our seniors were unable to
pay that.
In closing, I feel in my heart that you, as the county -- the Collier County Planning
Commission, will make the right decision for the good of Collier County and all the taxpaying
residents by rejecting these proposed changes. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Ms. Campbell.
Next speaker, please. Oh, before we go to the next speaker, give me a tally of how many
more there are.
MR. SUMMERS: We have one more in person and one online.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, okay. So we've got plenty of time. Okay. Thank you.
Next speaker, please.
MR. SUMMERS: All right. Our next speaker is David Hurst.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Sir, if you don't mind spelling your last name, I'd appreciate it.
MR. HURST: H-u-r-s-t.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. HURST: Thank you for your time today, gentlemen. This is my umpteenth time in
front of the Collier board. But being brought up today, a lot of my co-residents had covered a lot
of ground which I now understand.
As a contractor, understanding properties and what you have to look at, the major cost that
Collier County's not observing is this: If the property gets developed, to bring the property up to
code, the rainwater is a huge discussion. The potential purchaser of the property, developer, is
going to have to spend several million dollars to bring the water off the property, which then
becomes Collier County's problem. And in my discussions briefly with Mr. Bosi, are you aware
5.A.b

that to remove the water from the property is going to cost, best guesstimate, 25- to $50 million to
redo the city's waterworks?
That's all I wanted to say about it.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, sir.
Next speaker, please.
MR. SUMMERS: All right. We're going to move to our online group. First off we
have Alan Carpenter.
Mr. Carpenter, you have permission to unmute yourself whenever you're ready.
MR. CARPENTER: Thank you very much.
Chairman Fryer and other commission members, I am Alan Carpenter of 205 Estelle Court.
I'm the secretary of the Board of Directors for Riviera HOA.
You have received detailed comments from our association counsel, Attorney Berkey,
who, unfortunately, had an overlapping hearing today, but I believe you can read those comments
and understand them. They're fairly straightforward.
But I'm not here to discuss specifically the proposed changes to process, whether two
NIMs and two SOMs and so forth. The point, I think, is that input from people impacted in the
community around golf courses that might be rezoned is important.
But more importantly, and what I want to speak to, are the standards for which are applied
in those rezonings, and I think that's where the redlines really concern us. The redlines are
significant.
Our three main areas of concern are greenway and open space. As already discussed, the
elimination or the restriction of the greenway to a point where there are minimal buffers devalues
property, and as already noted by many, that leads to litigation prospects in the future.
The Growth Management department, back in 2017 when the original code was put in
place, published two papers which -- research papers, white papers. One titled "Findings on Golf
Course Conversions and Recommended LDC amendments." Second was "Follow-up to the LDC
amendment 5.05.15 conversion of golf courses." This research identified the best practices across
the state when others were grappling with the same issue of golf course conversions.
Among other things, this research determined that the LDC amendment must include a
substantial buffer or greenway along the perimeter of the golf course. Typically 50 to 200 feet
minimums were identified in regulations of other communities and should also include a sizable
open space, much like our current residential and PUD zones require. And these have been
neutered or eliminated in the redlines that have been included in this proposed revision.
The staff analysis during that time appraised values of properties adjacent to golf course in
Collier County at a 31 percent amenity premium in taxable value over comparable properties
within -- that did not have the open space and greenway buffers. This is the county's own
research.
So planning staff went before the Board of County Commissioners in 2017 and addressed
these concerns. Hundreds of people showed up. The hall was filled to overflowing. People
were upstairs. The community was obviously in favor of these changes, save for one attorney who
voted in -- who voiced opinion in opposition.
This was largely a community agreement that these were good regulations. The Board of
County Commissioners voted unanimously in favor of adoption and commented it represented a
good balance between homeowners' interests and those of the landowners of golf courses.
So as my colleagues on the board, Tricia Campbell and Peter Osinski, have said, this is not
just a matter of minor wordsmithing. A single line change may be sufficient, maybe two, to
address the Board of County Commissioners' concerns. We should not throw the baby out with
the bathwater.
Our major concerns can be summarized in three points: Greenway and open space and
how it impacts property values; safety, stormwater systems, and traffic controls. As already noted,
5.A.b
Packet Pg. 183 Attachment: 08-01-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)

Page 76 of 85
these communities are abutting golf courses that act as stormwater systems and, indeed, have very
limited traffic controls and roadways into and out of the communities; and compatibility. Our
community is an age-restricted community, and the last thing that makes sense is to put in
affordable family housing in the midst of an elder community.
So I ask that the Board here consider seriously the option of making de minimis changes to
what is already a well-vetted and well-established code. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much, sir.
Next speaker, please.
MR. SUMMERS: All right. Next up we have Frank Wood. Mr. Wood, if you could
unmute yourself.
MR. WOOD: Good afternoon. Can you hear me?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, sir.
MR. WOOD: My name is Frank Wood, and I live at 994 Charlemagne Boulevard in
Riviera Golf Estates.
Mr. Chairman and Planning Commissioners, thank you for the opportunity to speak. I
came to Collier County in 2016 and taught high school physics. My community is full of retired
teachers, postal workers, plumbers, electricians, and other folks that have worked hard.
Home purchases since 2017 have relied on this 2017 golf course conversion blueprint.
And in 2020, our community had to replace our pool. We were required to upgrade our 1970s site
to the 2022 Collier County standards. Our $550,000 pool became a $950,000 project. We
obeyed the rules. We would appreciate it if you would not water down any of these protections
we received in 2017.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Wood.
Any further registered speakers?
MR. SUMMERS: That is all for today, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Any people in the room -- any persons in the room who wish to be heard although they
haven't registered, please raise your hand, and we'll recognize you.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I don't see any hands raised.
So with that, we will close the public speaking comment -- public comment portion of this
hearing. And we do have ample time at this point to go over Ms. Berkey's comments, which is
what I would like to do at this point, without objection from the Planning Commission, and hear
from staff and also hear from the planning commissioners what they -- what they feel about these.
And if you have your agenda packet in front of you, they begin on Page 822 of 850. And
they are -- they take the form of, like, balloon comments in the margins of the summary that went
to the DSAC.
And before I go into that, I want to be sure that everybody understands and knows what
DSAC is and, for that matter, what it's not. DSAC is an officially sanctioned advisory committee
to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. It is not, however, quasi-judicial. And it
is designed and populated by members of the various subgroups of the development industry such
as developers themselves, lawyers who represent developers, and consultants who also represent
developers.
So as you can see, their point of view is going to be aimed at the development community
and advocating for the interests of the development committee [sic]. It's not a bad thing at all, and
it's something that, as I say, was officially established by the Board of County Commissioners.
But they're not like us. They're not quasi-judicial, and they're not disinterested.
So having said that -- and I just want to be sure that everyone keeps that in mind when we
hear references to DSAC.
So with that -- go ahead, sir. Yes, please.

COMMISSIONER SHEA: I have a question on --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead, Commissioner, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Maybe I missed it, but did DSAC comment on this?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, but DSAC has been referred to multiple times. And when
we turn to Page 822, we're going to be working off of the DSAC advisory board recommendations.
And so that's why I thought it would be a good idea to preface.
You want to say anything?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No, I just -- I guess they've had input into this.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, my goodness, yes. Yeah. And I asked Mr. Bosi about this.
I wanted to be sure that this did not originate with DSAC, and it did not. And I'm not aware of the
extent to which their input found its way into staff's recommendations, but I think that's a
legitimate question to ask as we go through this. And, again, I'm not -- I do not mean to be critical
of DSAC. I just think we have to recognize what it is.
Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: The DSAC reviews all LDC amendments. They can
even approach staff to initiate. They're the practitioners who implement, to put it bluntly. DSAC
are the -- many of them are either contractors, engineers, or other interested parties, but they are
the -- sort of the practitioners who actually have to live with the code.
So it's been a policy for, Mike, what, 25 years at least that the DSAC is sort of the first
vetting committee, the committee to first vet all the changes to the LDC.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So the process was Mike's staff developed some changes --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- gave them to DSAC, we got some comments.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I believe that's right, yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Typically, they -- Mike would -- staff would then go
back, tweak it one way or another, then it comes to us. We very seldom really see the comments
that are specific to the DSAC, but they just typically are either incorporated or not incorporated. I
mean, it's --
MR. BOSI: They're either incorporated, or sometimes they're within the narrative. They
may be highlighted in terms of --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because I used to tell them sometimes "noted."
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Got it.
MR. BOSI: This is a unique situation is we're going back to DSAC on August 7th,
because DSAC has not read -- or has not reviewed the version that the Planning Commission
reviewed.
The staff had a prior version of the modifications to the golf course conversion that wasn't
as drastic of a change from discussion internally to meet with the Board of County Commissioners'
direction that we felt to provide the most Bert Harris defensible. We went with a much more
abbreviated version. So the comments that DSAC made were not upon this version. It was a
different version. So they really have no bearing upon what is being proposed to you today.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I guess I'm still -- it's late in the day. I haven't heard any
reason why we should be changing anything, personally, other than somebody upstairs said you
should change it. I haven't heard anybody jump up and say, "No, no, no, you've got to change it
for this reason." Everybody has said, "Why change it?"
So my question is, why change it? Why not go with a minimalistic approach of putting
one sentence, however the lawyers think it should be, to protect us?
I just haven't heard anybody champion a reason to change anything. And for us to spend
hours wordsmithing something that may be accepted when we don't even know what they were
looking for to begin with, I think, is a waste of our time, personally.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's a -- I mean, that's a potentially valid way of looking at it. I
5.A.b

don't necessarily disagree, but the Board of County Commissioners has requested that this be done.
Now, what the "this" is is open to some discussion. I'm not sure we're all in total agreement, and it
sounds like there was some ambiguity at the meeting, what was it, April 7th. Whenever the Board
of County --
MR. BOSI: April 23rd.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: April 23rd. But I mean, an edict came down from the BCC for
staff to do this, and staff did it.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So if we, as a group, think it's not broke and we want to go
with -- why don't we just say what we believe? We're an advisory group. To cater to something
we're not sure we want but we don't agree with I don't think is worth our time.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: The only thing that I will say -- and then Mr. Bosi should
comment -- as a -- and I'm not a politician.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: You play one on TV.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Neither do I play one on TV. I play a Planning Commission
chairman on TV.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Stayed at a Holiday Inn.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I think we all want to demonstrate to the Board of County
Commissioners that we have carefully followed what we thought they asked us to do. And we
might stand a better chance of influencing the outcome of this if we do not take the two-sentence
approach even though my heart and my brain is probably more with the two-sentence approach.
As a practical matter, I think we might have a greater impact on this process if we take what staff
has done and try to adapt it -- or adapt it to our concerns even though it's going to take some time.
I think we've got -- we've got time. And I don't think there's a lot of pressure to get this done
immediately. And I think we stand a better chance of influencing the outcome.
Mr. Bosi, how do you feel about that?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: We might have a better chance of influencing the outcome if
we tell them we don't think you need to do anything.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That's also possible.
Mr. Bosi, do you want to speak? And then Commissioner Vernon.
MR. BOSI: No, I wouldn't hazard to try to guess the Board's ultimate decision upon this.
I mean, there's too many factors within it. At the discretion, whatever the Board -- however the
Planning Commission would like to move forward, you know, I'm willing to walk down that path.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Well, the only new information I have at the first
speaker -- that was a good presentation. And, you know, you may be able to comment on this.
But what he said he heard at that meeting with the County Commissioners is streamline and make
it more Bert Harris proof.
So unless the greenway or some of these other changes make it more Bert Harris
proof -- maybe they do, but if they don't, all we've been -- all we've been -- all we need to do to sort
of compromise between the Chairman and Commissioner Shea, we change the one sentence, which
may include changing the prohibition language -- it may be a little bit more than one sentence, and
then we drop one of the SOMs, NIMs, whatever you want to call them, which streamlines it, and
that way we've made the two changes. We've left the body of it pretty much exactly the same, and
we're done. I'm not saying we should stop now. I mean, I know we've got more -- you've got
more to present and more to think about and discuss.
But that would sort of achieve the goal -- big-picture goal of Commissioner Shea and also,
I think, help on my thought process, which is consistent with the Chairperson's process, that we've
been asked to do something, and unless we vehemently object, we can do it.
And you've suggested maybe cut out -- we've got three meetings; cut it down to two.
You've still got more than normal, but you've got less. It's more streamlined, and we're done.

And also he said that they met with the commissioners and, you know, I'm sure they've got a lot on
their agenda, and they don't study everything perfectly. They may have said that a little flippantly
and a little quickly, and maybe they do have a change of heart.
So I don't want to go any further than -- I don't want to -- I don't want to violate the concept
Commissioner Shea's trying to accomplish, which is kind of keep it much the same but make
enough changes that they'll be comfortable that we've done what they asked us to do, and we don't
disagree with those changes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Other planning commissioners want to weigh in on this? I don't
think there's much space between me and Commissioner Shea, but Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I don't see any need to go through the comments that
were sent in --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- because Mike has those.
I can summarize it. Basically say, keep the intent of the LDC. The Board gave you
direction. You have to comply with the Board. The Board looks to us to help you do that
process. As was said, they really don't study this as much -- as intently as we do.
I would make seven recommendations. The greenway, drop the average. As was stated,
you have to address whether there's a minimum. You need to correct that. Ensure that the intent
of the greenway issue is preserved, so that has got to be done. Remove the "sole discretion"
language. We've discussed that. Clean the use of "residential use" -- and slash "properties" the
clear up this issue with The Links property.
What was that -- cannot use -- the developer cannot use -- count the golf course as open
space to meet their requirements. I don't -- that's mutually exclusive. I don't know -- I don't think
we ever intended that a developer can use open space or use the golf course for open space. I'm
not sure -- there was a comment about that, but you need to look at that.
You absolutely have to meet all state and federal requirements. That solves the issue with
stormwater runoff. There was a comment made about stormwater and the county. All that is
dealt with in the Environmental Resource Permit process, the ERP process.
We can put language in there, but it's superfluous, because to go through the ERP process
is a requirement of the state, federal -- and federal permitting process. Of course, they're going to
have to go through the federal permitting process if there's jurisdictional wetlands or if there's
identified listed species. You have to address the soil contamination issue; that's in state statute as
well.
And eliminate the terminology if you want the SOM, the stakeholder outreach meeting,
and the notice to convert. Those names came up for whatever reason, I can't recall, but somehow
they evolved and morphed. If it's just going to be a NIM -- but there has to be some kind of a
pre-meeting to tell the folks what's going to happen, and then the NIM process.
As we often do, as you well know, and the folks from the two communities, oftentimes the
NIM is exactly what it is. It's the information meeting. The applicant comes in here, and then we
take a ball-peen hammer and try and drive, you know, a round peg into a square hole, or vice versa
as they come to us and present the issues. But they tend to use the Planning Commission as sort of
the sounding board.
If you want to do that elsewhere prior to coming here, I don't care. If the Board is looking
to streamline, then maybe eliminate the SOM and the notice to convert and somehow create the
NIM process, whether that's two meetings or whatever.
But those are sort of my recommendations. But I agree with the intent. The intent was
there. I don't want to throw the whole thing out. I think the intent was to protect the property
owners and to give the developer the opportunity to come in and ask for a rezoning. If it -- if you
want to cull this down somehow, okay, but we still cannot throw out the intent, which was to
protect both the developer to give them the opportunity if they want to submit for a rezoning action
and to the homeowners who reside around the golf course. Enough said.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Did you -- you had seven points. Did you cover them all?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Anybody else want to -- oh, Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I would -- subject to what the other
commissioners' thoughts are, I would create a universe of potential changes which would be Joe's
seven changes, and if there's others in addition to that that anybody has, that's your universe of
changes. And I would propose that each of those changes, you, with legal, determine does this
streamline the process. I'm assuming what this gentleman said is actually what the commissioners
said: Streamline it, Bert Harris proof.
So you run each of those seven changes through a filter. Does it streamline it? Does it
materially protect us more from a Bert Harris claim? If it does, do it. If it doesn't, I'd suggest we
don't make that change.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I agree.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. My question for the Planning Commission and partly for
staff is this: If something like staff's work product is going to be going to the Board, I want an
opportunity to comment on it primarily from the standpoint of what Mr. Lombardo said and what
Ms. Berkey has said.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, I would agree. I think it needs to come back here
before it goes to the Board.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I want to make that clear.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I don't want this to go to the Board without coming back
here.
MR. BOSI: I would have to agree because there's not a lot of specificity in what you
guys -- what you guys have provided me is -- there's a lot of ambiguity. There's -- you want to
streamline. We'll talk about the intent-to-convert process. The number of procedural steps that
the applicant's required to do within -- for the SOMs, the alternative development statements, the
conceptual development plans, the visual survey preferences, all these other options that have to
require [sic]. There's some opportunities for streamlining, but if you want to retain it, I mean,
there's -- there's -- your first suggestion was, eliminate the -- no deviations from 5.05, give the
Board the discretion for deviations but remove the "at the sole discretion" and eliminate the two
SOMs to one SOM.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: NIM.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Here's -- here's my -- what I'm trying --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I thought you were calling it a NIM. I don't care what
they call it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah, I'd like it called -- well, I don't care either, but I like the
idea of a NIM because I want a transcript.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: And what I'm trying to say -- maybe you're clear on it, but
just so -- to me, you're going to get a list from us of conceptual changes. You're not going to go
beyond those conceptual changes. At most, you're going to make conceptual changes, but you're
not even going to make all of those conceptual changes because each one you're going to go, talk to
the lawyers, say, "Does this materially reduce our chance of a Bert Harris claim?" If so, make the
changes. "Does this streamline the process?" If so, make the change. If it does neither, don't
even make those changes.
And then when you come back before us, we'll have a redline thing, and you can explain
the changes you didn't make, and let's say three of them you don't think streamlines it or reduces
the chance of Bert Harris, so you make four changes that either streamline or reduce the chance of
Bert Harris, and then we can vote on it and Paul can vote -- or whoever can vote, say, "I don't even

want to make those changes. I just want to make two of those changes."
So I just wanted you to understand we're not asking you to go out into the ether and look at
every line and see if it streamlines or Bert Harrises it better; rather, here's the -- "Here's the things.
Make zero to seven of these changes based on the two filters." That's what I'm trying to say.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Let me ask a question about reducing the Bert Harris exposure.
Are we -- are we discounting the potential Bert Harris exposure from homeowners on the grounds
that they can't afford counsel? Because I don't think that's fair.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I agree with you totally.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And so if we're reducing Bert Harris exposure, we should -- we
should keep in mind that that exposure could come from both sides.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yes.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I agree with you, but the fact is, and what's driving this, is
two to three claims by applicants, not homeowners. And this is primarily designed to protect
homeowners.
So that, I think -- me and, I think, Commissioner Schmitt and certainly Commissioner
Shea, we want to make as few changes as possible.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: To the current?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right, which continues to protect the homeowner as much
as possible, so I think we're being cognizant of that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. So what you -- three of you are saying -- and if it's the
case, I agree -- that we should go back to the nine pages, or however many it was that have been
redlined out, and preserve as much of that as we can consistent with the guidelines that we've
talked about. And I have -- I have asked that we be mindful of Bert Harris claims from both sides
of the equation. Just because a party can't afford to vindicate their rights doesn't mean that their
rights shouldn't be protected by the Planning Commission.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And I put it -- also include the input from the two
attorneys that have provided --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: By all means, absolutely.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Because they're very applicable.
MR. BOSI: As long as these are within the confines of the direction you're giving me,
correct, because --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Right.
MR. BOSI: -- there could be suggestions that they have that don't fall within those areas.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Some of them. I didn't go -- I mean, I read them all.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: You're right.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: The comments are in the form of "please don't take this out" --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- because they're comments directed to redlined material. So, I
mean, I'm in basic agreement with almost all, if not all, of those comments. It doesn't mean I
wouldn't listen carefully to an argument about why something doesn't [sic] need to be taken out.
But I want to have that discussion before --
COMMISSIONER VERNON: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- before we don't honor Ms. Berkey's comments.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I think Ms. Berkey and Mr. Lombardo agree with
Commissioner Shea, and I think you are just a little nuanced from Commissioner Shea. You
agree -- maybe a few more changes, a little bit like Joe and I, and I think Joe and I want to make
minimal changes.
So I think that nobody here wants to -- we all want to start with the document we had, give
him a list of things to consider, create a couple of filters, and then we can vote to make -- not even

Page 82 of 85
agree to what his changes are if we want -- if you guys think about it and decide you want to just
make it almost identical as it currently is.
MR. BOSI: And that's what we're -- we're going to be working off the redline. We're not
working off of staff proposed minimum. This will be an evaluation of the existing 5.05.15 as
provided for within the LDC currently based upon the seven areas that you're providing
instructions to make modifications to.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I like that. That's good.
Commissioner Sparrazza.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you, sir.
Possibly a suggestion for staff. Since we're going back to the redline 5.05, 5.15 [sic], is it
appropriate to take the two filters that were just discussed and review those with each of the items
in the redline proposal again to make sure this fluff that's not needed at all -- no, this is a valid point
because it's what we worked so hard to do in 2017, obviously years before me, put it through those
two filters, and just, more or less, review that entire package making sure you're going after either,
A, does it minimize the possible [sic] of a Bert Harris and, B, does it -- I just lost my --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Streamline.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: -- streamline, recognizing that the Board, when they
said streamline, I'm assuming there weren't really any qualifications around that. Streamline, that
could mean take out one sentence. That could mean, as you folks did, boil it down to a page and a
half.
But is it appropriate to look at all of that redlined nine-page document and apply those
filters to it again? I open this up for discussion.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I think what I am hearing -- first of all, I think we're about
95 percent in agreement up here, and to the extent that we differ at all, it's in nuances.
But I think what I'm hearing is we want staff to look back at what is currently in effect,
we'll call it redline or nine pages, whatever, but what is currently in effect for conversions and
evaluate each suggested change or deletion against the goals of streamlining and Bert Harris claims
from either the homeowner or the developer.
So I think if that -- if that is the case, then you'd come back with something that would be
probably pretty close to nine pages -- you know, maybe seven pages -- but would look much more
like what we have now than what staff is proposing.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: That goes back to what Mike said at the beginning. He
said, "We've kind of taken a hatchet to it instead of a scalpel," and we're suggesting the scalpel and
giving you some guidance on what -- the seven things to look at and the filters to use.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Does anybody disagree with what I said?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: No.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Comment.
Mike, why did we require two distinct proposals from a developer? I -- was that
something that came up during the public meeting process so there would be either/or? I mean, it's
the only process in the county where we actually -- they're actually required to present two
different designs, and I sort of vaguely remember the discussion. But if you wanted to streamline,
I don't see a need for two distinct. I mean, tell me what you want to do, and let's deal with that.
MR. BOSI: Joe -- I'm sorry -- Commissioner Schmitt. I would say -- Mike Bosi, Zoning
director.
I would say that the reason why was they wanted to force options, and those options could
be utilized if they're presented at the stakeholder outreach meetings to promote, "Okay, which of
these options, what do you like about each one of them?" to be able to identify things that maybe
there's some commonalities or suggestions.
So that's the only reason why I can think. But that -- I think that was maybe the
motivation for why those were -- were they specifically culled out for two -- two options.

August 1, 2024
Page 83 of 85
I think one provision -- and I could talk about the intent-to-convert process and the things
that are required. One of the things that I think has absolutely no real value -- and as I'm thinking
about some of your guidance -- and it's related to the intent-to-convert process -- but for -- we
require that the applicant show why it's fiscally unfeasible for them to continue on as a golf course.
I don't know what value we get from that.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No value in that.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: No.
MR. BOSI: So it's things like that is what you're saying --
(Simultaneous crosstalk.)
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- eliminate.
MR. BOSI: -- would be under the needs to be streamlined, and is there a cost-benefit
analysis that justifies the cost for the benefit that could be received from it? Is that the -- kind of
the general approach that you would like us to take?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I mean, answer, if nobody -- it won't stay as a golf course,
it would be, nobody wants to buy it, nobody wants to run it, I mean, period, end of story.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Exactly.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: And that's the type of suggestion I had of, as we're
doing this, go ahead and knock off each of those points in the redline, because that was never
mentioned but it's still in the redline, so maybe that comes out. That's a review of it and makes it
more streamlined.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I know at some of those -- at some time all those things
were discussed as part of the requirement, but some of those onerous requirements could be
eliminated, like the two designs. I just -- I just want to know, "What is your intent?" The public
should know what the intent is. But the clear -- clear and concise to address the open space,
groundwater, if you want to call it, you know, stormwater retention, all those kinds of things, it's
going to -- they've got to go through it anyway, through the ERP process. But you've got to make
sure that the residents are aware. And, oh -- and for the residents, you need to understand, they
cannot trespass their water onto your property. That is clearly a trespass.
MR. BOSI: Just to provide a clarification. We keep saying "open space." Remember,
any residential community that's going to be approved through a rezone process through this, the
county's going to have to have a 60 percent open space. That's a requirement of our zoning.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: The intent-to-convert process doesn't change that.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Correct.
MR. BOSI: It is not proposed to change that. So I'm going to -- this statement of
somehow that we are altering the open-space requirements of the ultimate development that would
be proposed, that's not true.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I agree with the Vice Chairman about not requiring two
alternative options, because I think that's unrealistic. And, you know, you could supply two
options by taking the one you really want and then coming up with one that nobody could live
with, and so you -- let's just find out what they want, and that's --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Find out what they want.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And go with that.
MR. BOSI: That was the same comment that a member of DSAC made. He said, I
would -- "What I want and then what I really don't want, no one's going to want, so obviously, this
is what we want."
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. So that's just a way -- and that falls under the heading of
streamlining, because that doesn't yield us any important value. So is it -- Mr. Bosi, is it -- may I
assume -- may we assume that you have sufficient guidance what we would like you to do between
now and when we come back?

August 1, 2024
Page 84 of 85
MR. BOSI: I believe I have sufficient guidance, and the catch safe is we're coming back.
We're going to come back, and if we didn't get it right, we'll go back and do it again. I mean, I
don't want to have to do that, but I think I have enough guidance from you to be able to be a little
more precise in the things that we suggest for elimination and the things that we have heard from
the Planning Commission that they view that should remain. So we'll go back. And I can't tell
you if it's going to be in the September meeting, but we will -- we'll make sure it's going to be a
quick turnaround, and we'll get back to you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Rather than waiting, though, can we allow you to be their
sounding board just to help them so they don't come back and we make this a longer process and
we --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm willing to do that if you want.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I think you have a good understanding of where we all are.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If that's what the Planning Commission wants to do, I'd be happy
to do it.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I think that's a great idea.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Well, then we'll work together. I think I understand what
the Planning Commission is looking for.
And my hope is that we don't -- that at the conclusion of this process, we don't have the
staff version and the Planning Commission version, two competing -- you know, the war of the
versions going to the Board of County Commissioners. I think we're all much better served if we
can -- if we can find a way to come together with staff and speak with one voice. If we can't, we
can't. But I hope we can.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Using the Vernon filter.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Anybody else want to be heard on this?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, then I think Mr. Bosi has guidance, and I'm more than
happy to participate in whatever way staff, you think, I could be useful in helping hit the points that
the Planning Commission has made.
MR. BOSI: And what we will do is we're going to make our first run at -- based upon the
criterias and the areas of concern and this approach, and once we get a draft, we'll get it to you and
get some feedback from you, and then we'll reiterate it again, get it back, and then hopefully at that
period of time, we could be in agreement that we can bring it back to the full.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Good. So we want to continue this, but I guess we're going to
continue it indefinitely?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: That means re-notification?
MR. BOSI: Yeah, there's no notification requirement. It's only an advertisement
requirement.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right.
So without objection, the matter will be continued indefinitely, and we'll be working -- I'll
be working together with staff, and we'll be coming back to the Planning Commission for
comment.
And that concludes our hearing of that matter for today, it being continued indefinitely.
And so it takes us to old business, if there is any? I don't believe there is.
Is there any new business to come before the Planning Commission?
COMMISSIONER VERNON: I was going to say one thing.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Vernon.
COMMISSIONER VERNON: If you're going to take a while on this, it wouldn't hurt,
before you come back before us, maybe do a double-check on the status of those two Bert Harris
claims or three Bert -- just to see if there's any development on the law or rulings --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Very good point.

matter that is not on our agenda for today, now would be the time to be heard.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: And I see no one approaching the microphone. Therefore,
without objection, we're adjourned.
I'm sorry. I was thinking about this anyway, but if we collaborate before the meeting,
send it out to the full Planning Commission --

MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Mr. Bosi.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to all of you. This is the August 15, 2024, meeting of the
Collier County Planning Commission. We're glad to have you here.
Uh-oh.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Reverberation.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We're getting some feedback. Now we're not.
Okay. Good. All right. So where we are is it's time to rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much, Secretary.
Addenda to the agenda. Let's see. Before I call on Mr. Bellows, we've got two
companions that were scheduled for today. They're requesting to be continued to September 20.
They are PL20220005195, the Hope Home Small-Scale Growth Management Plan amendment,
and PL20220005096, the Hope Home II community facilities PUDZ.
So I would like to ask staff to briefly explain to us why the continuance -- who requested it
and why it was -- why it's being requested to be continued.

MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
Yes, Chair. We received a notification from the applicant that they had forgotten to
coordinate with the sign company, and the sign was not put up within the proper time period prior
to the Planning Commission meeting. And so they had to request a continuance to the following
meeting on September 20th.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. The only concern I have about that is that we are really
already jammed up on September 20. And I know that we might possibly get to it -- if we put it
first, we'll certainly get to it -- but then the other matters, something may have to be carried
forward. But in any event, that's what's before us now for action.
Any discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, is there a motion?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I make a motion to approve as requested or presented by
staff to postpone till the 20th.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: To the date-certain, okay.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: To the date-certain.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Second.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Further discussion? If not, all those in favor, please say aye.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: (No verbal response.)
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It passes unanimously. They are continued to that date-certain.
Planning Commission absences, our next meeting is not until --
MR. BELLOWS: Mr. Chairman, we do have a change.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I'm sorry. I forgot to call on you. Go ahead, Mr. Bellows.
MR. BELLOWS: We would like to add an item under 9A11 under new business, a
discussion on workshops.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, of course, yeah. And that has to do with an interest that has
been expressed, I believe, by Commissioner Sparrazza, something that we have done in the past.
And the idea is set forth on a piece of paper that was circulated to us. We'll take it up on new
business. And I'll just ask -- without objection, we'll put that on the agenda as new business.
There being no objection, it's added as new business. Thank you.
I'm sorry, Mr. Bellows.
Then we go to Planning Commission absences. Our next meeting isn't until
September 20. We've got, I think, about five and a half weeks to prepare for what will be a long
meeting, so we may need it.
Now, please note that this meeting is going to be on a Friday because Thursday, the 19th,
which would ordinarily be our meeting date, has been preempted by the Board of County
Commissioners. I think they're having their second of two budget workshops; is that correct
Mr. Bosi?
MR. BOSI: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. So it's Friday, the 20th. And my question, does
anyone know if he or she cannot be attending that Planning Commission meeting?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, it would appear we would have a quorum. That's good.
Then the meeting after that will take place on October 3rd, 2024. Anyone know if he or
she cannot be in attendance at this meeting?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: At this time, I will not be able to attend.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you for giving us the heads-up.
Anyone else?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'll check the calendar here a minute. Is it the twenty --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: The 3rd of October.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'll be here.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay, good. All right. Looks like --
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes, Mr. Klucik.
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: I believe that two of us, our terms are expiring, although
I'm not sure -- you know, I don't think I'll be here after October 1st.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay, sir. Thank you for --
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: And I think, that might be the case as well --
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Chris, right?
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Thank you, Commissioner, and also --
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: So having a quorum -- having a quorum might be a little
bit more difficult.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Understood. Yeah. Understood. Thank you for bringing that
to our attention, Commissioner Klucik.

Small-Scale Growth Management Plan amendment, and PL2020017803, the BCHD 1 CPUD,

All those wishing to testify in this matter, please rise to be sworn in by the court reporter.
THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
(The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Ex parte disclosures starting with Secretary Shea,
please.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials only.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Public -- matters of public record, a meeting with staff, and a
communication of sorts with the applicant.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Staff materials only.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Staff materials and a conversation with Noel Davies.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Staff materials and a conversation with Mr. Davis.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And I said -- oh, and Commissioner Klucik?
COMMISSIONER KLUCIK: Nothing. Nothing except staff materials and a meeting.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I said "communication of sorts" because we communicated in
attempting to find a time when we could communicate but did not, alas, actually communicate on
substantive matters.
All right. Having cleared those hurdles, we'll begin with the applicant's presentation.
The Chair recognizes Mr. Davies.
MR. DAVIES: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning, Planning Commissioners.
For the record, Noel Davies with the law firm of Davies Duke on behalf of the applicant,
BCHD Partners 1, LLC, which is an affiliate of Barron Collier Companies. Chris Scott with
Peninsula Engineering is also here this morning, as well as Norman Trebilcock, our transportation
engineer.
I'm going to turn it over to Chris shortly. Before I do that, I'd like to provide a brief
history. Here is the subject property. We are on the west side of the intersection of Immokalee
Road and Orange Tree Boulevard. And this is our third time before you on this specific site.
On the first go-round back in 2021, we were approved for 200,000 square feet of
commercial uses, C-1 through C-3 uses, plus a handful of others, including self-storage.
Round 2, which was last year, we were approved for 130,000 square feet of self-storage
only plus 100,000 square feet of commercial uses. That was a less intense group of uses. So we
reduced the trip cap in accordance with that corresponding decrease in intensity.
Today is Round 3. The market for self-storage may be softening a bit. It's hard to tell at
this point, so we're seeking 130,000 square feet of commercial uses instead of the 100,000 we
currently have and also to add indoor golf cart sales as a use, but we would like to keep the option
for 130,000 square feet of self-storage based on ever-evolving market conditions; however, and
importantly, we are not seeking to increase the trip cap. So that reduced trip cap from Round 2
will remain, but we would have the flexibility to do either commercial only, for example, at
130,000 square feet, i.e. no self-storage at all, or some combination of commercial and self-storage.
Under all circumstances, we are still maxed out at that lower trip cap from our last approval, and
that ensures --
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And that number's 475, correct?
MR. DAVIES: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. DAVIES: Four seven-five two-way p.m. peak-hour trips.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
MR. DAVIES: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
So the trip cap not moving will ensure that even though on paper we will have an
5.A.c
Packet Pg. 198 Attachment: 08-15-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 15, 2024
Page 6 of 21
additional 30,000 square feet of commercial, this is definitionally not an increase in intensity.
And the gatekeeper, of course, for that is your county staff, should this be approved. Our
next step would be going through the SDP process. At SDP application, we're required to submit
updated Transportation Impact Statements, including detailed trip generation analysis for each
specific use, and the aggregate of our trips for this site has to remain under that reduced trip gap
from our last approval.
And with that, I'm going to invite Mr. Scott up to give the remainder of our presentation.
Thank you very much, Planning Commissioners. I'm happy to answer questions now or at the end
of Mr. Scott's remarks.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just for the record, I did make a site visit, under disclosures.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
Before you step down, Mr. Davies --
MR. DAVIES: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- I would like you to, if you wouldn't mind -- I think I know the
answer to this question, but I want to make a record. The rectangle to the west, the narrow
rectangle, it leads up to 4th Street Northeast. Would you please bring us up to date on that? And
I'm particularly interested in the ingress and egress, of course.
MR. DAVIES: Do you want to address that?
Mr. Scott will address your remarks.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. That's fine, too.
MR. DAVIES: Thank you, sir.
MR. SCOTT: For the record, Chris Scott, planning manager with Peninsula Engineering.
Mr. Chairman, I believe you're referring to this rectangle piece?
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yes.
MR. SCOTT: Yeah. Nothing has changed with that. That piece was left as open space
on the master plan. As you can see here, there was an -- the only interconnection that could take
place there would be for the adjacent property owner to the north. I believe that property has
actually been transferred to their ownership.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: I believe it has, too. And that's the record I wanted to make, that
there -- that there may -- if you don't mind, I'm going to ask Mr. Bosi to clarify exactly what the
status of that parcel is with respect to the ingress and egress. Because when we heard this last, in
2023, we insisted that there be no ingress and egress for the commercial activities and that
was -- that was part of the deal. So I want to be sure that that remains part of the deal.
MR. BOSI: That is staff's understanding of the PUD and how it reads that, for
commercial purposes, that it's not provided for an ingress point.
MR. SCOTT: Just to summarize. Yeah, there is no commercial ingress/egress onto 4th
through the PUD.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We had had a number of homeowners last time around who were
concerned about that, and I just wanted to be sure that there was to be no change, and you're
reassuring us that there is not.
MR. SCOTT: That is correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: What does that arrow mean, connecting the two lots --
MR. SCOTT: That is if the -- there is a provision within the PUD that if the adjacent
owner were to purchase it, they would be allowed to put a driveway access to access their
combined properties.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And we believe that's happened.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MR. SCOTT: And that property has transferred. And I don't know -- the Femels
(phonetic) are their names. I do not know if they have built a driveway through it or are accessing
5.A.c

it, but they don't have ownership of that property.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And I looked at the paperwork from -- was it 2021 or 2023 when
that was established?
MR. BOSI: 2021.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: 2021. And, indeed, this is all -- this was provided for in advance.
In other words, the residential ingress and egress under these circumstances was allowed back then,
and there's been no change to that.
Sorry to interrupt, sir. Go ahead.
MR. SCOTT: Not a problem. So this is the Master Concept Plan. There are no changes
proposed to the plan. This amendment, as mentioned, is strictly to allow the development to better
realize or react to different market conditions.
So initially, as Noel gave a good summary of the approvals that were there, it was 200,000
square feet of any of the approved uses.
When the amendment in 2023 came forward, there was an addition of some acreage, and
the uses were somewhat segregated so that the commercial floor area and indoor self-storage area
were reviewed separately in the corresponding reduction in trip cap. By breaking those out, we
somewhat painted ourselves in a corner thinking that self-storage was going to be there, because at
the time there was an approved Site Development Plan for a self-storage use, and that is somewhat
teetering as to whether it would be developed.
So the development team was looking at if we are not doing self-storage, are we going to
have enough commercial square footage for this large parcel, and this amendment is coming in to
allow for an additional 30,000 square feet of commercial.
It does not change the location of commercial development or where it would take place or
the access points onto the public streets. It does not change any of the development standards, and
most importantly, I think, is it does not increase the approved trip cap.
This is illustrative of anticipated development. So there is an existing McDonald's that is
already open. That's the first commercial enterprise that is opened right on the south side of
Orange Tree, or at the intersection of Orange Tree and Immokalee. Two properties have sold.
So Tract A was conveyed to NCH medical. They have an agreement to allow for up to
25,000 square feet of medical office. Tract C is currently owned by Healthcare Network for more
medical clinic space, anticipated to be around 20,000 square feet. And then the Winchester
shopping center to the north, it's Tracts E and F, that has been approved. That's a shopping center
with a total of 40,000 square feet. Disregard the imagery. If you see ghost images down there,
that doesn't reflect the approved site plan. But it is 40,000 square feet anchored by an Ace
Hardware. It will have space for other restaurants and service uses and office.
And that really left Tract B where there was an SDP approved for 130,000 indoor
self-storage facility. As mentioned, the market conditions have softened in regards to self-storage,
and it was -- it is unclear if that will move forward.
So for options, we had Trebilcock Consulting Services -- and Norm is here -- run different
scenarios for different types of uses to see what could be put on there while maintaining that trip
cap. So some of those would be a mix of office and medical, up to 40,000 maybe fitness or a
larger sit-down restaurant.
Staff has reviewed both the Growth Management Plan amendment and the PUD
amendment, have found them sufficient both with the Collier County Growth Management Plan,
the Land Development Code, as well as Florida Statutes. And they are recommending that the
Planning Commission forward the GMPA petition with a recommendation to approve, adopt, and
transmit to Florida Department of Commerce, and they're recommending that the Planning
Commission recommend approval on the PUD amendment.
With that, I will close my presentation, and if you have any questions for myself, Noel, or
Norm, we're happy to answer those.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Planning Commissioners? No one's signaling at this point.

Anyone want to be heard? Vice Chair.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. For use, we did get an e-mail concerning the sale
of the golf carts, but also they implied that it may include ATVs. Is that included in the golf cart
sales? I don't know why this person was concerned about ATVs, because they would still have to
remain under the trip cap. But I guess, for the record, could you clarify?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: They were worried about it running across the property and in
the back looking for an area to practice.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: To practice, and ATVs running around out there.
MR. DAVIES: That's not the intent. "Golf cart" means golf cart.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Indoor?
MR. DAVIES: Yes, and all limited to indoor.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Thank you.
MR. SCOTT: Indoor retail.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Anyone else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, we'll turn it over to staff.
MR. BOSI: Thank you, Chair. Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
As the applicant had indicated, both on the Growth Management Plan and the PUD, staff is
recommending approval. We recognize that this is not an increase within an intensity that's
associated with this existing commercial development. It's just a response to provide for better
market flexibility based upon the demands that ultimately are going to be yielded against this
property and the overall needs of the community.
So in that regard, staff is recommending approval.
And I was encouraged to see, and I appreciate the applicant pointing out a number of the
different uses that have already been developed, the McDonald's in the shopping plaza anchored by
a hardware store, Ace Hardware. We think that these are the efforts that we're trying to promote to
allow for the reduction within the trip length associated with the households within the Estates
community having to gain goods and services, and the closer proximity that those goods and
services are to those individual households only benefits that overall mission of the Planning
department as well as the Transportation department of trying to really reduce trip lengths. That's
the key to managing traffic within Collier County is trying to provide for the shortest trip length to
be able to satisfy the needs of the individual household, and we think that this provides for more
flexibility and ultimately will help accomplish that mission.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you very much. Any questions for staff or comments?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, we'll turn to public speakers.
MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, there are no registered public speakers for this item.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Anyone who is not registered but is present in the room and wishes to be heard, please
raise your hand.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Seeing no hands raised, we will close the public comment
segment of this proceeding and take the matter in our hands for deliberation and action. Who
would like to be heard?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Chair, I make a motion to approve.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you, Commissioner Schumacher.
Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Is this for both items?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Both items. Sorry.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. And there is no EAC approval required.

Page 9 of 21
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I second the motion.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: It's been moved and seconded to approve as submitted. And the
only thing I will say is that to me what was determinative is that the trip cap stays where it is at
475, which was an entitlement coming into these proceedings.
So that -- that and the consistency with what's going on near the Randall Curve these days
is -- oh, and also if one looks at commercial needs analysis, which one always should for our
Growth Management Plan amendment involving commercial, this action has been taken because of
a concern that there may not be sufficient need for more self-storage. So this is in keeping with
the commercial needs of that area of the community.
Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. Just for clarity, Mike, since you do have a letter
in opposition, or an e-mail in opposition, this will not go on the consent agenda for the Board, or
will it?
MR. BOSI: I'm going to speak with the County Attorney's Office. The concern was
commercial creep.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right.
MR. BOSI: And this is not commercial creep.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right.
MR. BOSI: This is an existing commercial establishment. This is just an allowance for
an alternative between self-storage, which is an allowed use, and the commercial uses already
allowed within the -- within the PUD with the addition of the indoor golf carts. So I'm not -- I
don't believe -- I think the clarification that this isn't commercial creep would allow for this to go
on summary because there is no --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I would only recommend, then -- because I think Nancy
forwarded us the e-mail -- somebody just respond to the person and say --
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- "appreciate your concern. Here's the issue. This is
not going to happen," as I've put on the record, regarding the ATVs, and that is not -- it is
not -- they will still have to stay within the trip cap. Okay. Thanks.
MR. BOSI: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Any further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, the motion and second is on both the Growth Management
Plan amendment and the CPUD amendment. All those in favor, please say aye.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
We're moving right along here.
***So next -- next we will hear PL20240008157. This is the proposed updated approval
of residential building permits, Land Development Code amendment. The matter's purely
5.A.c
Packet Pg. 202 Attachment: 08-15-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 15, 2024
Page 10 of 21
legislative in nature, no quasi-judicial companion; thus, no need for swearing in of witnesses or ex
parte disclosures.
You have the floor, sir.
MR. JOHNSON: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, Commissioners, for the record, my
name is Eric Johnson. I'm the LDC planning manager in the Zoning division.
Today I have the privilege of introducing to you a Land Development Code amendment,
PL20240008157. This Land Development Code amendment is being prompted by recent changes
to the Florida Statutes, particularly Chapter 177.073, and that was approved by the Governor earlier
this year and will become effective October 1st. It's staff's aspiration to introduce this amendment
to the Board of County Commissioners prior to October 1st.
I have a very brief PowerPoint presentation I'd like to give you, if that's okay.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Yes, it is.
MR. JOHNSON: So as I mentioned, this is being prompted by the changes to the Florida
Statutes which deals with plats. That -- Section 177.073 is known as the expedited approval of
residential building permits before a final plat is recorded. This Land Development Code
amendment is proposing changes to multiple sections of the LDC and companion Administrative
Code amendment changes, which is in your packet as an exhibit.
By no later than October 1st, 2024, it requires the county to update the building permit
process so an applicant may request up to 50 percent of plan homes or the number of building
permits that will be issued for a residential subdivision or a planned community before a final plat
is recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Once the County Commission approves a final subdivision plat, this would allow a
homebuilder or a developer to apply for and receive building permits for up to 50 percent of those
lots. By 2027, that number goes up from 50 percent to 75 percent. This is applicable to our
county. If a governing body has a program in place prior to July 1st, 2023, to expedite the
building permit process, it only needs to update the program to approve an applicant's written
application. Prior to July 1st, 2023, the county has been conducting an existing program.
So what we'll --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: What can they do now in terms of percentage?
MR. JOHNSON: There is no percentage for homes that could be -- it's like model homes.
It's not homes that are eventually going to be -- well, I guess you could say a model home will be
lived in.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Can they get permits for 50 percent of the homes that that --
MR. JOHNSON: No, not --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Is there something that says they can't?
MR. JOHNSON: I'm hearing from Director Jaime Cook, yes, they cannot apply -- they
cannot get permits for those, for homes other than a model home.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay.
MR. JOHNSON: And so the Florida Statutes have changed, kind of compelling us to
allow up to 50 percent and then eventually up to 75 percent.
So the proposed LDC changes, we would rename the "optional preliminary subdivision
plat" to "conceptual plat with deviations." You'll see that sprinkled throughout your document.
This allows for deviations from design standards not elsewhere allowed.
In LDC Section 10.02.04, we would rename the section to collectively be requirements for
subdivision plats rather than preliminary and final subdivision plats.
Florida Statutes 177.073 refers to a preliminary plat and a final plat. Since the county
only has one submission to the Board for final plat, it will serve as the preliminary plat under the
statute. And as I mentioned, this -- these changes would allow for an applicant to identify up to
50 percent of the plan homes or number of building permits that may be issued for a -- before a
final plat is recorded with this Clerk of the Circuit Court.
The idea is that the plat -- and I didn't mention this before, the plat would be approved by
5.A.c
Packet Pg. 203 Attachment: 08-15-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 15, 2024
Page 11 of 21
the Board of County Commissioners, and then the developer can apply for the -- apply for and
receive building permits prior to recordation of the plat.
So in Section 10.02.04.B.4.D, it would read -- and this is on Page 26 of the LDC
amendment, Packet Page 482 -- "After Board approval of the final subdivision plat, building
permits may be issued for a percentage of plan homes in accordance with the Florida Building
Code and pursuant to Florida Statutes 177.073. Subdivision performance security shall be in
accordance with LDC Section 10.02.04.F, as in foxtrot, 3, lowercase b, as in bravo, and then
i -- lower case i as in India, and the construction and maintenance agreement shall be in accordance
with LDC Section 10.02.04.F, as in foxtrot, 3, and then lowercase e, as in echo, when utilizing
Florida Statutes 177.073."
We did not stipulate 50 percent or 75 percent. We just are referring to the Florida statutes
so that way we wouldn't have to make a change in 2027.
Finally, in LDC Section 10 -- not finally, but in 10.02.04.F.3.e, we'd retain the existing first
sentence without any change and modify the last sentence. And the whole -- the sentence would
read, "This agreement shall be submitted with the final subdivision plat for review and approval
and shall be executed by all parties at the time of Board approval if building permits are issued
when utilizing Florida Statutes 177.073 or at the time of recording of the final plat." And that's on
Page 30, which is your Packet Page 46. Finally, this would also change parts of the administrative
code, the contents portion, Chapter 5 subdivision procedures, as well as Chapter 12 acronyms.
So staff is recommending -- or staff is seeking your recommendation of approval for
PL20240008157, which includes the changes to the Administrative Code.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Eric, I have several questions. I mean, this is pretty
straightforward, and I understand clearly what the intent is, but let's go back to what was actually
done. At one time we used to allow early work authorizations. You could get -- if you had a plat
or a plan, you could get an early work authorization. It was nowhere near 50 percent, but anybody
could always come in and ask for an early work. So what is different?
MS. COOK: Jaime Cook, your director of Development Review at Growth Management.
So the early work authorization, Commissioner, only allows for site work: Clearing,
grading, those sorts of things. It doesn't actually allow for the construction of the homes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It's not allowed to go vertically.
MS. COOK: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: All right.
Simple terms, Joe Tentpag English, what are we really saving? Weeks? Months? Or
years?
MS. COOK: Up to a year and a half.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Really?
MS. COOK: Yes. So once the subdivision plat is recorded by -- or is approved by the
Board, the applicant has 18 months to actually go record that plat --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
MS. COOK: -- before -- right now they can't get a building permit until that occurs.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Till they -- till the plat is recorded?
MS. COOK: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: And so this is going to allow a developer to begin to build
homes. Now, will they be able to sell those homes and transfer? Because without a final plat, I'm
kind of curious how they would do a site -- a homesite --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Survey.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: -- survey for transfer.
MS. COOK: So they can enter into a contract with a buyer, but they cannot obtain a TCO
or a CO until the plat has been recorded.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So, fundamentally, all we're doing here is they're giving
5.A.c
Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: 08-15-2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes (29720 : 8/1/2024 CCPC Meeting Minutes)
August 15, 2024
Page 12 of 21
them months to start construction and put homes on the market?
MS. COOK: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: As far as staff's concerned -- I mean, the PPL at one time,
I recall, was nothing more than the preliminary site layout, and it kind of defined how they were
going to -- you know, define the preserves and the road network and some -- it didn't
even -- usually didn't even have the road network. It just was a preliminary layout. This is now
all eliminated.
MS. COOK: So the -- I think what you're referring to was the old preliminary subdivision
plat, the PSP process. The current PPL process has the roads laid out. It has the individual lots.
It has where stormwater is. It has the specs for those -- the lakes, the slopes. It has the preserve
locations. It has -- the current PPL process has everything.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: So the -- it's beneficial to the developer, which is what the
intent was.
MS. COOK: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: What is the impact on staff?
MS. COOK: The only impact that staff is really going to have with this is we will have to
track the building permits to ensure that they don't apply for or receive more than that 50 or
75 percent. We've already worked with our IT team at GMD and have worked through that
process of how to be able to track this, and we'll be able to implement that by October 1st.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. I mean, CityView, you're going to do that.
MS. COOK: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. On a large development, let's say 2-, 3-,
4,000 acres, they're developed in phases. Is it -- so it's 50 percent of only the area that's going to
eventually be platted?
MS. COOK: It will --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Not 50 percent of the total -- I don't know. Let's say one
of the rural villages, they come in and they're going to build certain villages
throughout -- throughout the community. It's only 50 percent of the intended area that's eventually
going to be platted, not 50 percent of all the homes in the -- in the receiving area or in a PUD?
MS. COOK: Correct. It will be 50 percent of that specific plat.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. All right. All questions answered. I mean, it's a
state law. We have to comply. I just wanted to be clear as to what the intent was or how it -- the
impact. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. I want to perhaps -- if my understanding is
correct -- and if it's not, please correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe that Tallahassee was acting
to resolve problems in other counties --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: -- not ours, where there were long, long delays taking place. Am
I correct about that?
MS. COOK: I would expect yes. Collier County has a very straightforward process that
works both for the county staff as well as the developers. We do know that in other counties, they
may go through several reviews or several hearings before they can actually get a subdivision plat
approved.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So it's undoubtedly going to have more effect or other counties
that have been slower to -- with respect to the approval process, correct?
MS. COOK: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Thank you.
All right. Anything else from staff on this?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Anything from the Planning Commission before we see about
public comment?

COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I make a motion to approve the LDC amendment,
updated approval of residential building permits as presented by staff.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Second.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, all those in favor, please say aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye.

CHAIRMAN FRYER: It passes unanimously.
Thank you very much, staff.
All right. And we --
MS. COOK: I have one more. There's one more.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Go ahead. Wait.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: She's doing the next one.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I'm going to announce it, okay.
Okay. The next one is 20240008157, and this is the proposed updated approval of
residential building permits.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No. This is the excavation.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: We just did that. That's the one we just did.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We sure did. You know something, I didn't copy this correctly.
Give me that for a moment.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: It's No. 4.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you. Oh, boy.
***All right. Next up is -- I don't see a PL in here.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: This isn't. There's no PL in there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Why don't you announce it for me then, Ms. Cook.
MS. COOK: Jaime Cook, your director of Development Review.
So 9A4 is -- goes along with the LDC amendments that you just heard for updating the
building permit approval process for subdivision plats. Our excavation ordinance, which is in the
Code of Laws, references developers being able to utilize the PSP, or the preliminary subdivision
plat process, in order to obtain a development excavation permit.
From what staff has seen in the past, we do not typically do a PSP for excavation -- for a
development excavation, as they need to come in for a development excavation permit. So it is a

redundant requirement in our code that we're simply just trying to remove as we move forward
with compliance with this new state statute.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Do we have a PL number?
MS. COOK: We do not.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: We do not. That's rather usual, is it not?
MR. BOSI: It's -- Mike Bosi, Zoning director. It's unusual -- this is actually
piggybacking on 9.3.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh.
MR. BOSI: So it's interrelated to it, but it is a separate change to the ordinance, but it's a
reaction because of 9.3. So it's kind of piggybacking on the PL number that's associated with 9.3,
the residential building permits related to plats.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I make a motion to approve the amendment of
Excavation Ordinance No. 04-55, as presented by staff.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Second.

Thank you, Ms. Cook.
MS. COOK: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: And now --
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Jaime, can I just ask one question of clarity?
MS. COOK: Only if you don't change the vote.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: In the process, you can still do -- you can still do
excavations.
MS. COOK: Oh, absolutely, yes. They just -- all excavation permits require a separate
excavation permit anyway. So the PSP that was referenced in the excavation ordinance is
duplicative and unnecessary.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: That's what I thought this is. But you can still do -- I
mean, if there's a fill -- you still -- you still have to -- this does not, in any way, circumvent any of
the federal laws and requirements for filling of wetlands or any other issue. You still have to have
all the proper state permits and federal permits before any of this work is executed.
MS. COOK: Absolutely, yes, sir. They will still apply for their excavation permit, and
prior to beginning any construction on site, they will have to provide any state and federal permits
required.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay. Thank you.
MS. COOK: Yep.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Now, has it been seconded?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yes.

Now, for the purposes of specifying this, I think you mentioned a number. Was it 0455 or
2455?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: It was -- I thought I read the -- from the 0455; was that
correct?
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yes.
MR. BOSI: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: So it's LDCA 0455?
MR. BOSI: Yes.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. I'm still a little confused because ordinarily 04
would mean 2004, would it not?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: But it's the ordinance number, right?
MR. BOSI: Yeah. That's the ordinance [sic] the LDC was amended.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, okay. All right. So it'll have -- it'll have a different number
in the LDC?
MR. BOSI: Correct.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. All right. Any further discussion?

CHAIRMAN FRYER: If not, all those in favor, please -- or have I voted already?
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: You did.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay, sorry. Pardon me.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I just asked her a follow-on question.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Well, I got thrown for a loop here, so it's my bad, and I apologize.
You don't give me a PL number, and I feel like -- I feel like I depend upon a teleprompter, and it
stopped working, which is a bad feeling.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Oh, not going down that road.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay, Joe.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Yeah. Well, we've got one more thing, and that is a piece of new
business.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. I'm just packing up.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Okay. And I'm going to let Commissioner Sparrazza introduce
this please. Commissioner?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thank you, sir, Chairman.
***I've had the pleasure of being on this committee for about 20 months now, 22 months,
whatever it is. October 1st was my anniversary date. And it's come up in a handful of
discussions here in the public former that "wouldn't it be great if we could get together and talk
about something?"
So I said, "Why don't we tentatively, say, let's have an open workshop between, shall we
call it, all three of the bodies at hand here, the Planning Commissions, the Board of County
Commissioners, and the county staff?"
I thought that if we actually planned something three times a year spaced out every four
months, if we have the need for these three bodies to get together and discuss something, we could.
It's already on the schedule. If we don't have a need for all three or even two of the bodies to get
together, then that portion of the meeting can be opened back up to whatever -- this happens to
correlate with the CCPC meetings -- we could open it up for a longer CCPC meeting.
But the whole idea was to allow a time that all three bodies got together and discussed
something. That something could be right down to the details of the AIU --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: AUIR.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: AIUI, right? Something like that.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: AUIR.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: AUI, right, right. Something like that. We've

Page 16 of 21
always talked about, "Gee, maybe we should get together and talk about something," and we never
really have. The other point is, because of Sunshine Laws and everything involved, we can't get
together and talk about anything openly.
I put this down as a quick idea, as a note to my fellow commissioners here, and would
hope that if the idea has any type of traction at all, that we could improve upon this and, obviously,
ask for staff's input and even the Board of County Commissioners, if this is something they would
like. So that's what I've put forth for discussion.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Vice Chairman.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah, Randy, back in my day when I was a Community
Development administrator, as we used to call it back then, between myself and the Transportation
administrator, we met a couple of times, maybe three times, with the Board, but they were -- we
were tackling major issues: Concurrency, trip generation concurrency, and even at that time I
believe we were even talking about moratoria in some of the issues.
I remember one meeting we had, of course I was staff, but it was the Planning Commission
and the planning commissioners. It was very productive. I think the second one probably wasn't
so much.
And I would -- we have to be careful here because it's taking time away from the Board as
well from their duties. The real issue is it would really have to be structured and very definitive on
what issues we want to address.
But like I said, back then there were major issues. It was growth -- growth management,
transportation concurrency, and other issues that this county was trying to go through. And, of
course, the other issues with schedules related to AUIR, but road construction, capacity, either at
the landfill or issues doing [sic] with -- with water and sewer.
So I don't know. I would have to say if -- I would agree with it as long as it's something
that would be of value and not just kind of a dog-and-pony show. It just has to be of some value
and some purpose and intent. Otherwise, we, as Planning Commission -- and in the past we've
done this as well. We actually met at Horseshoe for workshops, and that was just planning
commissioner -- planning commissioners.
It typically is not a meeting where we have a court reporter. It's just a -- they do a
summary meeting, and we discuss issues at hand in regards to pretty much background, education,
and to educate commissioners on certain aspects of the process, similar to what we discussed today,
PPL and some other type of things.
So it -- it would -- I think we'd have to be very definitive and outline what is our objective.
And I guess I defer to staff what they think, because certainly Mike and Ray were back -- were part
of the team back then as well.
And I remember one worked out well. The other one, probably not so -- not so -- not so
good.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thanks, Joe.
If I can make a comment. What I was anticipating, and I didn't state it in my opening
remarks, was throughout now, up till December or January, if there's topics that come up and we
say, "You know what, that would be great to have a further detailed discussion on at a workshop,
great, we have one scheduled for, for example, February 20th."
If we go through our normal meetings and there are no topics that come up that would be
applicable to have at a workshop like this, then the workshop doesn't take place. But just trying to
keep in mind, geez, every four months, if we wanted to bring something up for discussion, we have
a time and a date set up. If there's nothing on the agenda, the meeting is canceled.
But I agree with you, it can't just be, "Let's get together and have lunch." There has to be
some substance to requesting the meeting, as you said, because everyone's time is extremely
valuable, so...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.

Anyone else want to be heard on this?
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Chair, I think it's a great idea. I know the
secretary brought up multiple times of us having a workshop with Transportation, so that could
easily fall right into this, which, you know, anytime we need a workshop to expand on that, I'm all
for it.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Mr. Johnson?
MR. JOHNSON: We wouldn't hear him.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Oh, speak into your mic, please, Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Sorry. What I had said was as the secretary had
pointed out in previous meetings on having a workshop with Transportation, which we haven't had
yet, this would kind of fit into that role where the first one you would have, we could -- we could
do with a Transportation aspect, and then if there's another matter that rolls up on that next
meeting, that could help expedite matters at hand versus, you know, us taking time from staff
repeatedly; you just kind of get it all done in one shot, so...
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
For my part, I'm fully supportive of the concept, and I think timeliness is also good because
going forward in 2025, we're probably going to have one or more new planning commissioners,
and there are -- there are certain complexities and conundrums, such as traffic and transportation,
that impose limitations on what we're able to do, particularly when you're up against potential
deficiencies on roadway segments that it would be helpful for all of us to be reminded of and for
new people to be educated on. So I support it.
Obviously, it's the Board of County Commissioners who's going to have the final say on
whether they participate, and I wouldn't presume to second guess where they would come down on
that. But if they were to be involved, that would be quite useful to us. If they were not involved,
we could still go forward with staff and become educated. So it -- this -- the idea has my support.
Anybody else want to be heard on this?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN FRYER: What, then, Commissioner Sparrazza, should the next steps be?
Do you want staff to communicate with the Board? How do you want us to go forward?
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: I think that could be an open conversation between
staff and CCPC. What would you think would be the next course of action?
MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director.
Often -- you know, when I saw this -- and I completely understand and agree with the
benefit of, you know, enhanced communication.
What I would say is the Board not only serves their capacity as the BCC but as the chair of
a number of advisory committees that they sit on as well.
I think four times a year scheduling a workshop with the Board of County -- or three times
a year scheduling a workshop with the Board of County Commissioners may be more of an
obligation than they're willing to obligate themselves to.
But what I would say is with this three -- three-workshop-a-year concept, having the
Planning Commission when we identify -- and the reason I said four is because there was four
dates that were skipped here. But we could condense it to three. I think we would have a benefit
from scheduling that workshop after the Planning Commission meeting has completed. And the
Planning Commission prior -- well prior to that first -- that workshop day indicating what's the
topic that you'd like to talk about.
And I think Transportation and Transportation Planning is a terrific way to initiate that first
individual workshop because of the way -- so the statute -- some of the statutes does tie our hands
in a little bit of a way in terms of how we apply our Concurrency Management System, but how
impact fees and how the overall background traffic is -- is incorporated, how future approvals are
related to that -- to the background traffic, as well as the trip counts that we see on the roads, I think
those would have a real benefit to the Planning Commission to understanding that.
5.A.c

Page 18 of 21
And then as we hit individual areas, if you find a topic where you really do think that you
would like to engage, you know, the full Board of County Commissioners in a workshop, then staff
could float that idea, you know, through the County Manager through coordination with the Board
of County Commissioners as to whether they'd like to establish that and what date that could be.
I think that would probably be a more balanced way to move forward without trying to
obligate the Board on three set dates, but have the Board be aware that you will be having
workshops on -- to talk about open-ended areas of interest and of interest to the county's planning
activities, and then identify ones where we think you would like to have a joint workshop, because
I know they are -- you know, their time is occupied throughout the week in a pretty consistent
manner.
But I think that having the ability for us to designate three specific times within the
calendar year where the Planning Commission says, "This is what I'd like to talk to staff about
because I'd like to -- we'd like to explore these topics" -- and I think, like I said, Transportation
Planning would be a great way to move forward with a first workshop, and then we could -- as the
next workshop schedule would be designated, two months prior -- because you'd want to give them
enough time to prepare whatever the topic is, you want them -- whatever the department, whatever
the issue is to be pretty well established and vetted so we could have some real good conversations
within that workshop. I think that would be an appropriate way to move forward.
And then when you hit something where you would really like to -- you think that there
would be a benefit from, you know, having that interaction with the full -- the Board body could be
an opportunity to say, "Okay, let's see. Can we get that joint workshop?"
But what I do know is what it would allow you to do as well -- because each one of you are
appointed by an individual commissioner. I know, Joe, you're an environmental, but you can have
the opportunity to talk to any one of those commissioners -- it will help you promote some
conversation with the individual commissioner to say, "Hey, you know, we had this workshop.
We're interested in potentially, you know, having more perspective" or just you pushing back or
talking to the commissioners about some of the things you learned within that workshop. It would
help you promote some -- some inroads of dialogue.
I'm not sure how often you speak with your individual commissioner, but it can provide for
inroads of dialogue that you would maybe not have otherwise thought of or kind of like brought to
your attention that you'd like to talk to the commissioner about individually, and then if we want
them to have a workshop, we could have that -- we could see if that would be something they
would be amiable to.
COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Mike, it sounds like a perfect compromise of initiating
CCPC with staff two, possibly three times a year and, as appropriate, ask for that meeting being
joined by the BCC.
MR. BOSI: Yes, because then we would have to, for that workshop, you know, advertise
and Sunshine and all the stuff. We'd have to be ready, getting the room ready, set up for the
appropriate manner.
But I think that -- I think that really does help us or allow the Planning Commission to dive
into something that you don't -- because when we have these individual petitions, I mean, the two
LDC amendments we got a little bit more ability to kind of -- to explain how, why, and what we do
and what -- why the statute change is changing -- is causing us to change.
But we don't really get into, all right, how does Transportation specifically get to their
recommendation of approval when you have about 45, 50 people saying, "Oh, but the traffic over
at this segment of road is unacceptable," but Transportation has a level of -- has a level of service
they find that there's capacity on the road system, and they're moving forward.
So having dialogue in between what the realities are that people are expressing and how
Transportation goes about, you know, reviewing petitions, I think, most certainly, would have a
beneficial effect. And with two new commissioners going to be coming onto the dais, I think it's
going to be -- it would be something that -- we should probably plan for that first meeting at the
5.A.c

turn of the year to be that workshop -- our workshop to kick us off, and then we can go from there.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Commissioner Shea.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I could think of a lot of topics. You could talk to us about
concurrency, which we think we understand, but I don't -- I've never heard a really good
presentation that I've been able to mentally grasp on concurrency, which I guess is mostly on the
transportation side, or is that with all -- it's all the infrastructure.
MR. BOSI: No, it's all -- no, it's all your Category A facilities.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yeah.
MR. BOSI: All your Category A facilities are the ones -- it's parks, it's your utilities, it's
transportation, it's stormwater, it's schools. Those are the ones that have to be analyzed from a
checkbook -- and we used to call it checkbook concurrency. And the checkbook concurrency is
nice because everyone -- well, people used to use checks, and you would have to make
sure -- you'd deduct your --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: I still do.
MR. BOSI: You would deduct your amount of your check to make sure that you weren't
overdrawn against your balance. So that concept people would understand, so we called it a
checkbook concurrency.
So it's the same thing for Transportation, for Utilities, for Parks, making sure that there was
enough capacity to handle the additional loads that these projects were going. That's the concept
of it. But the application of it, I think, is -- has been influenced by statutes, and there's been an
evolution, so I think there would be benefits of that --
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Timing -- timing is very important, and that's the part of
concurrency that confuses most people is when you put the timing --
MR. BOSI: Correct.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- of when's this development coming in, you know, et cetera,
et cetera.
Does the Board have any -- BCC have any of these types of workshops that Randy's
suggesting on their own?
MR. BOSI: Well, the Board started -- and normally in January, at the turn of the year,
they will have workshops on topics at hand, January, February, and March, sometimes in April.
But the seasonal months they will -- almost every year they schedule individual workshops on
topics that they feel is important to discuss with the community.
Sometimes it can be joint workshops with the City of Naples, sometimes with the City of
Marco Island. So the Board of County Commissioners regularly does have workshops starting in
the seasonal months.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: So some of the topics they have we might be interested in,
might fit into what Randy's talking about.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: All right. Thank you very much.
Anybody else want to be heard on this? If not --
MR. BOSI: And I would say, we will coordinate with Transportation Planning to have the
first -- that February 20th to be the first workshop that we're going to have to talk just about
transportation and transportation in general, and I'm sure Transportation would look forward to
providing some education and enlightenment to the Planning Commission in terms of how they do
their job and what -- you know, the time frames we're looking at but also some of the work that we
do within the MPO that's not only within the short term but the long term and how that works and
how that fits into the overall paradigm of how we develop roads.
You know, roads don't start off in your 5- or your 10-year CIE. They start off in your
Long-Range Transportation Plan, and they have to be identified. Sometimes they're in the needs
plan but not the -- they don't have the financing for it. But -- and eventually it works its way down
and gets to the six- and the 10-year, which is your second year -- the second five years of your CIE,
and then it gets to your -- to your Years 1 through 5, and then when it gets into Year 1 or 2 of the
5.A.c

project, it means fundings have been available, it's ready to start, it's going, it's a guarantee.
So there's a lot of -- a lot of movement between that 25-, 30-year lookout to when the
project actually starts. And I think they would do a terrific job of providing a good overview of
how we go about that and how our projects fit within that continuum.
COMMISSIONER SHEA: Right.
CHAIRMAN FRYER: Thank you.
Thank you very much, Commissioner Sparrazza, for bringing that up. It looks like we are

REQUESTED ACTION:
The applicant, Ave Maria Development, LLLP, proposes a Growth Management Plan Amendment
(GMPA) for text changes to the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan (GMP). The proposed amendment will remove the maximum acreage for a Town
in the Stewardship Receiving Area (SRA). The current maximum area for a Town is 5,000 acres.
Additionally, the applicant seeks to clarify that Goods and Services includes certain business and industry
type uses, such as Florida Qualified Target Industries. The proposed amendment also includes text changes
to Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Policy 4.7.1, Policy 4.7.4, and Attachment C. (Rural Lands
Stewardship Overlay, Stewardship Receiving Area Characteristics).
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The applicant states that the amendment seeks to remove the maximum 5,000-acre size of a Town and
clarify that “goods and services” required within Town and Village SRAs “may” include employment
centers, such as manufacturing and Florida Qualified Target Industries. The applicant states that goods and
services should not be limited to retail and office uses.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Subject Property:
The RLSA is a broad area of land in the eastern and northern portions of the County.
Surrounding Lands:
North: Hendry County, Okaloacoochee Slough, Agricultural and Residential Uses.
East: Hendry County, Dinner Island Ranch Wildlife Area, Agricultural Uses.
South: Collier County, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Agricultural Uses.
West: Audubon Corkscrew Swamp, Golden Gate Rural Estates, Agricultural and Residential Uses.
In summary, the surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural and wildlife refuge areas with greater
residential uses toward the west.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Collier County established the RLSA program in 2002. The program is part of the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) of the GMP. The County implemented a stewardship program to address environmentally sensitive
land in the eastern portions of the County. The program was designed to assess and address growth pressures
in those same eastern rural and agricultural lands. The RLSA program established goals that retain
agricultural activities, direct incompatible uses away from wetlands, enable the conversion of rural land to
other uses, discourage urban sprawl, and encourage creative development and land use planning techniques
through incentives.
The RLSA encompasses approximately 185,000 acres in eastern Collier County. The RLSA program
incentivizes the preservation and restoration of environmentally sensitive areas into Stewardship Sending
Areas (SSA) in exchange for SSA Credits (Credits). These Credits are available to allow higher-intensity
mixed-use developments, known as Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRA), in appropriate locations and
subject to specific design criteria. SRAs can be developed as Towns, Villages , or Compact Rural
Developments.
The RLSA Overlay Map on page 2 identifies significant environmental areas such as Water Retention Areas
(WRA), Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSA), and Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSA). Lands not identified
as WRA, HSA, or FSA are designated as Open Lands and are the appropriate location for new Towns,
Villages, or Compact Rural Development SRAs. The Open Lands generally consist of predominantly
9.A.1.a
Packet Pg. 218 Attachment: Staff Report Final - RLSA GMPA PL24-4018 [Revision 4] (29774 : PL20240004018 Rural Land Stewardship Area GMPA)
4
agricultural lands that have been cleared or altered. Additionally, the Open Lands include a 500’ Restoration
Area located adjacent to FSAs and two potential Panther Corridor locations on the Overlay Map.
EXISTING AND PENDING SRAs
In 2021, the Board approved Ordinance 2021-28, which revised the RLSA program to limit the number of
SSA credits available for the development of SRAs. Currently, the RLSA has established 18 SSAs
protecting approximately 48,000 acres of sensitive lands (SSA Credits spreadsheet attached). There are
three additional SSAs pending approval. They are SSAs 19, 20, and 21, which would potentially increase
the acreage by 5,128 for an approximate total of 53,000 acres. They are listed here:
SSA 19: 560.2 acres / 4,481.6 credits
SSA 20: 655.7 acres / 1,271.7 credits
SSA 21: 3,912.41 acres / 10,659.0 acres
The above SSAs, pending and approved, have provided for eight existing SRAs and one pending SRAs on
approximately 11,000 acres. The SRAs are detailed in the table below:
SRA Name SRA Type Total Acres Public Benefit Net Acres
Ave Maria Town 5,928.00 998.001 4,930.00
Longwater* Village 0 0
Rivergrass Village 997.53 997.53
Hyde Park Village 642.52 642.52
Brightshore Village 681.50 681.50
Bellmar Village 999.74 999.74
Big Cypress Town 1,544.46 1,544.46
Horse Trials** Village 1,217.84 1,217.84
Collier Rod & Gun CRD 259.60 259.60
TOTAL 12,271.19 998.00 11,273.19
1 Ave Maria approval excludes Public Benefit Use acreage, including University District, from SRA acreage
* The 991.81-acre Longwater Village was incorporated into the Town of Big Cypress
** Under Review/Pending
If project PL20240004018 GMPA for the RLSA is approved and adopted by the BCC, the maximum Town
size of 5,000 acres would be removed. Moving forward, the appropriate action for staff would be to include
the total SRA acreage to date against the 45,000 acre cap for each new proposed town or village.
PETITIONER NEEDS ANALYSIS:
The applicant states that approval of the GMPA will further the RLSA’s ability to:
• create mixed-use, self-sufficient SRAs that utilize shared services, facilities, and infrastructure.
• further enable economic prosperity through development of planned land uses and employment centers.
• increase internal capture and reduce trip length and long-distance travel.
The RLSA Group 4 Policies pertain to the development of SRAs. SRAs can be in the form of a Town,
Village, or Compact Rural Development (CRD). Policies 4.7.1, 4.7.2, and 4.7.3 and Attachment C, RLSA
SRA Characteristics outline the minimum standards for each type of SRA. The primary differences are
summarized below:
SRA Standards: Town Village CRD
Size 1,500-5,000 acres 300-1,500 acres 300 acres or less
Goods and Services 170 sf per du 53 sf per du 10 sf per du
Civic, Gov, Inst 15 sf land area per du 10 sf floor area per du n/a
Community Park 200 sf per du n/a n/a

The applicant contends that Towns, being the largest and most diverse type of SRA, require substantially
more “goods and services” than a Village or CRD. Additionally, Towns are required to provide Community
Parks within their boundaries. During the recent public hearings for the RLSA restudy and GMP
Amendments, the consensus from the public and commissioners was that Towns are preferable to Villages
and smaller projects. The applicant further states that Towns and larger developments provide greater
flexibility and more opportunity for smart growth by creating areas that can create jobs.
As noted in Policy 4.2, the petitioner states that SRAs can be designated on “privately owned lands within
the RLSA…, except land delineated as a FSA, HSA, WRA or land designated as an SSA.” The Policy also
states that “the specific location, size, and composition of each SRA cannot and need not be predetermined
in the GMP.” The RLSA program does not include a minimum separation between SRA’s. Therefore, if an
existing Town wanted to expand above the 5,000-acre limit, the only recourse would be to establish a
separate, adjacent SRA.
The applicant provided the following table that compares the additional non-residential uses and community
park area that is required for an existing Town to add 1,500 acres and 4,000 dwelling units if done as an
expanded Town without an acreage cap or by adding an adjacent Village. An expanded Town requires
significantly more commercial floor area and community park acreage than if developed as a separate
Village.
Development Example Expanded Town Adjacent Village
Size +1,500 acres +1,500 acres
Dwelling Units +4,000 dwelling units +4,000 dwelling units
Goods and Services +680,000 sf gross floor area +212,000 sf gross floor area
Civic, Gov, Inst +1.38-acres +40,000 sf gross floor area
Community Park +18.37-acres None Required
The petitioner contends that by removing the maximum size of Towns allows for additional residential units
and population within the Town. The resulting increase in population provides a larger consumer base and
demand for a variety of goods, services, and amenities. This increase in population is attractive to investors
and businesses looking for new markets to help meet this demand. As more businesses locate within the
Town, they support each other through supply chains and business-to-business services, creating a
synergistic environment that fosters further economic growth and job creation. This critical mass is essential
for attracting major employers with higher-paying wages.
The petitioner further contends that Towns, with a full array of goods and services, public amenities, and
employment centers, allow residents to meet most of their needs within the Town. This increases the internal
capture of the SRA’s anticipated vehicular trips, reducing the number of external trips onto the County
roadways and the overall vehicle miles traveled by Town residents.
Allowing the additional land to be incorporated into the existing Town SRA boundary, as opposed to a
separate Village or CRD, requires more non-residential floor area and employment opportunities, additional
community parks, and more land area for civic, governmental, and institutional uses. The location and
distribution of those uses, roads, stormwater, and utilities can be better coordinated and planned.
Additionally, having a single SRA document allows for easier implementation by staff and developers.
Staff finds that the information provided here by the petitioner satisfies the Needs Analysis requirement
based on the research provided. Compliance with applicable Florida Statutes is provided here.

(f) All mandatory and optional elements of the comprehensive plan and plan amendments shall be based
upon relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government that may include, but not
be limited to, surveys, studies, community goals and vision, and other data available at the time of
adoption of the comprehensive plan or plan amendment. To be based on data means to react to it in an
appropriate way and to the extent necessary, as indicated by the data available on that particular subject
at the time of adoption of the plan or plan amendment at issue.
1. Surveys, studies, and data utilized in the preparation of the comprehensive plan may not be deemed
a part of the comprehensive plan unless adopted as a part of it. Copies of such studies, surveys,
data, and supporting documents for proposed plans and plan amendments shall be made available
for public inspection, and copies of such plans shall be made available to the public upon payment
of reasonable charges for reproduction. Support data or summaries are not subject to the compliance
review process, but the comprehensive plan must be clearly based on appropriate data. Support data
or summaries may be used to aid in the determination of compliance and consistency.
2. Data must be taken from professionally accepted sources. The application of a methodology
utilized in data collection or whether a particular methodology is professionally accepted may be
evaluated. However, the evaluation may not include whether one accepted methodology is better
than another. Original data collection by local governments is not required. However, local
governments may use original data so long as methodologies are professionally accepted.
3. The comprehensive plan shall be based upon permanent and seasonal population estimates and
projections, which shall either be those published by the Office of Economic and Demographic
Research or generated by the local government based upon a professionally acceptable
methodology. The plan must be based on at least the minimum amount of land required to
accommodate the medium projections as published by the Office of Economic and Demographic
Research for at least a 10-year planning period unless otherwise limited under s. 380.05, including
related rules of the Administration Commission. Absent physical limitations on population growth,
population projections for each municipality and the unincorporated area within a county must, at
a minimum, be reflective of each area’s proportional share of the total county population and the
total county population growth.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM) NOTES:
The application is not for a site-specific location for a Growth Management Plan Amendment. A
Neighborhood Information Meeting is not required for this application.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:
The RLSA program designates environmentally sensitive areas, including Flowway Stewardship Areas
(FSAs), Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs), and Water Retention Areas (WRAs), and prohibits the
development of towns, villages, and compact rural developments.
The proposed GMP amendment has no effect on either the requirements of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element (CCME) of the GMP or the requirements to create Stewardship Sending Areas
(SSAs) on environmentally sensitive lands to entitle development elsewhere.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
• The Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay Amendment petition proposes a large-scale Growth
Management Plan amendment to update the RLSA to allow Town size to exceed 5,000 acres and
to clarify that employment centers may include Qualified Targeted Industry businesses.
• There are no adverse environmental impacts as a result of this petition.
• No historical or archaeological sites are affected by this amendment.
• There are no public utility-related concerns as a result of this petition.
• There are no concerns about impacts on other public infrastructure.
LEGAL REVIEW: The County Attorney’s office reviewed the staff report on 8/28/2024

RE: Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay GMPA
GMP Amendment – PL202420004018

To Whom It May Concern,
Please find the attached Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) application to make minor text changes

Adoption Hearing.
The following have been included for your review and approval:
1. Cover Letter
2. Email from Mike Bosi waiving Pre-Application Meeting
3. GMPA Application
4. Affidavit of Authorization
5. Property Ownership Disclosure Form
6. Proposed FLUE Text
7. Existing Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay Map
8. Narrative, Criteria and Consistency
Please feel free to contact me at (239) 403-6727 or by email at cscott@pen-eng.com should you have any
questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Scott, AICP

Mike:
I appreciate your Ɵme meeƟng with me and Nick last week. As discussed, we are planning on submiƫng a privately
iniƟated GMPA to remove the maximum acreage for a Town and provide clarifica Ɵon language that “goods and
services” are not solely limited to retail and service uses, but also includes employment centers, such as the Arthrex and
Dialum Glass (manufacturing uses) faciliƟes in Ave Maria. We understand this would be a full Comprehensive Plan
Amendment that would apply to all of the Rural Land Stewardship Area, requiring both a transmiƩal and adopƟon
hearing before the BOCC.
Given the limited nature of the proposed GMPA, may we submit without a formal pre-applicaƟon meeƟng? I am copying
in James Sabo for awareness and am happy to reach out to the assigned planner prior to submiƫng.

RURAL LANDS STEWARDSHIP AREA OVERLAY GMPA – TOWN SIZE
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT (PL20240004018)
PROJECT NARRATIVE, CRITERIA AND CONSISTENCY
Details of Request
Ave Maria Development, LLLP is submitting this Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) to make
text changes to the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay provisions of the Collier County GMP,
Section V.F. The amendment proposes to eliminate the maximum 5,000-acre size of a Town Stewardship
Receiving Area (SRA) and to clarify that “Goods and Services” include business and industry uses, including
Florida Qualified Target Industries. The amendment includes text changes to Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) Policy 4.7.1, Policy 4.7.4 and Attachment C, Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay, Stewardship
Receiving Area Characteristics.
RLSA Overview
Collier County established the incentive based RLSA program as part of the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) of the GMP (Ord. 2002-54, as amended) to assess and address growth pressures in Collier County’s
eastern rural and agricultural lands. The RLSA program has the goal of “retaining agricultural activities,
directing incompatible uses away from wetlands and upland habitat, enabling the conversion of rural land
to other uses in appropriate locations, discouraging urban sprawl, and encouraging development that
employs creative land use planning techniques through the use of established incentives.”
The RLSA encompasses approximately 185,000 acres in eastern Collier County. The RLSA program
incentivizes the preservation and restoration of environmentally sensitive areas into Stewardship Sending
Areas (SSA) in exchange for SSA Credits (Credits). These Credits are available to allow higher intensity
mixed-use developments, known as Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRA), in appropriate locations and
subject to specific design criteria. SRAs can be developed as Towns, Villages or Compact Rural
Developments.
The RLSA Overlay Map identifies significant environmental areas as Water Resource Areas (WRA), Habitat
Stewardship Areas (HSA), and Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSA). Lands not identified as WRA, HSA, FSA

are designated as Open Lands and are the appropriate
location for new Towns, Villages or Compact Rural
Development SRAs. The Open Lands generally consist of
predominantly agriculture lands which have been
cleared or altered. Additionally, the Open Lands include
a 500’ Restoration Area located adjacent to FSAs and
two potential Panther Corridor locations on the Overlay
Map.

Justification:
This amendment seeks to remove the maximum 5,000-acre size of a Town and to provide clarification
that “goods and services” required within Town and Village SRAs may include employment centers, such
as manufacturing and Florida Qualified Target Industries, and is not limited to retail and office uses.
Approval of the GMPA will further the RLSA’s ability to:
• create mixed-use, self-sufficient SRAs that utilize shared services, facilities and infrastructure;
• further enable economic prosperity through the development of planned land uses and
employment centers; and
• increase internal capture and reduce trip length and long-distance travel.
The RLSA Group 4 Policies pertain to the development of SRAs. SRAs can be in the form of a Town, Village
or Compact Rural Development (CRD). Policies 4.7.1, 4.7.2, and 4.7.3 and Attachment C, RLSA SRA
Characteristics outline the minimum standards for each type of SRA. The primary differences are
summarized below:
SRA Standards: Town Village CRD
Size 1,500-5,000 acres 300-1,500 acres 300 acres or less
Goods and Services 170 sf per du 53 sf per du 10 sf per du
Civic, Gov, Inst 15 sf land area per du 10 sf floor area per du n/a
Community Park 200 sf per du n/a n/a
Towns, being the largest and most diverse type of SRA, require substantially more “goods and services”
than a Village or CRD. Additionally, Towns are required to provide Community Parks within their
boundaries. During the recent public hearings for the RLSA restudy and GMP Amendments, the consensus
from the public and commissioners was that Towns are preferable to Villages and smaller projects. Towns
and larger developments provide greater flexibility and more opportunity for smart growth by creating
areas that can create jobs.
As noted in Policy 4.2, SRAs can be designated on “privately owned lands within the RLSA…, except land
delineated as a FSA, HSA, WRA or land that has been designated as a SSA.” The Policy also states that “the
specific location, size and composition of each SRA cannot and need not be predetermined in the GMP.”
The RLSA program does not include minimum separation between SRAs. Therefore, if an existing Town
wanted to expand above the 5,000-acre limit the only recourse would be to establish a separate, adjacent
SRA.
The following table compares the additional non-residential uses and community park area that is
required for an existing Town to add 1,500 acres and 4,000 dwelling units if done as an expanded Town
without an acreage cap or by adding an adjacent Village. An expanded Town requires significantly more
commercial floor area and community park acreage than if developed as a separate Village.

Civic, Gov, Inst +1.38-acres +40,000 sf gross floor area
Community Park +18.37-acres None Required
Removing the maximum size of Towns allow for additional residential units and population within the
Town. The resulting increase in population provides a larger consumer base and demand for a variety of
goods, services and amenities. This increase in population is attractive to investors and businesses looking
for new markets to help meet this demand. As more businesses locate within the Town, they support each
other through supply chains and business-to-business services, creating a synergistic environment that
fosters further economic growth and job creation. This critical mass is essential for attracting major
employers with higher paying wages.
Towns with a full array of goods and services, public amenities and employment centers allow residents
to meet most of their needs within the Town. This increases the internal capture of the SRA’s anticipated
vehicular trips; reducing the number of external trips onto the County roadways and the overall vehicle
miles traveled by Town residents.
For example, the Town of Ave Maria SRA, which was originally approved in 2005 and later amended in
2020 and 2022, has a significantly higher internal capture. Ave Maria’s higher internal capture rate was
based on an impact fee study of the Town Core, prepared by Benesch on February 2022, which suggests
an internal capture rate of 89% for the smaller retail/restaurant establishments, 74% for other non-
residential land uses and 62% for residential uses.
Allowing the additional land to be incorporated into the existing Town SRA boundary, as opposed to a
separate Village or CRD, requires more non-residential floor area and employment opportunities,
additional community parks and more land area for civic, governmental and institutional uses. The
location and distribution of those uses, roads, stormwater and utilities can be better coordinated and
planned. Additionally, having a single SRA document allows for easier implementation by staff and
developers.
The GMPA is consistent with Florida Statutes and the Collier County Growth Management Plan, as
provided in the succeeding section.

CONSISTENCY WITH FLORIDA STATUTES AND THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
FS Section 163.3177(6)(a)(2) – Required and Optional Elements of a Comprehensive Plan
The future land use plan and plan amendments shall be based upon surveys, studies, and data regarding the
area, as applicable, including:
a. The amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth.
b. The projected permanent and seasonal population of the area.
c. The character of undeveloped land.
d. The availability of water supplies, public facilities, and services.
e. The need for redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community.
f. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations.
g. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to an airport as defined in s. 330.35 and consistent with
s. 333.02.
h. The discouragement of urban sprawl.
i. The need for job creation, capital investment, and economic development that will strengthen and
diversify the community’s economy.
j. The need to modify land uses and development patterns within antiquated subdivisions.
Response: The RLSA Overlay was originally established as part of the Collier County GMP in 2002 and most
recently amended in 2021 following extensive surveys and studies. The Collier County RLSA program is
recognized by the State of Florida as being found in compliance with FS Section 163.3248 as a statutory
rural land stewardship area. The proposed GMPA does not negatively impact the existing RLSA program.
The RLSA Overlay Map identifies areas that are suitable to be designated as an SRA and does not require a
minimum separation between SRAs. The Collier County RLSA program establishes a maximum of 45,000
acres that can be designated as an SRA, which is not affected by this amendment. The proposed GMPA to
eliminate the 5,000 acre maximum Town size and to clarify that “goods and services” include employment
centers allows for SRA’s that provide additional non-residential uses and employment opportunities for
residents, thereby increasing internal trip capture and reducing overall vehicle miles traveled. Allowing for
larger towns, as opposed to adjacent but separate SRA applications, allows for the better coordination of
roads, parks, utilities, and stormwater design, as well as a more efficient distribution of residential, goods
and services, civic and employment centers. The proposed changes further the goal of establishing SRAs
that are self-sufficient in the provision of services, facilities and infrastructure, and that promote economic
sustainability, diversification and job creation.
FS Section 163.3177 (8) Future Land Use Map Amendments
8. Future Land use map amendments shall be based upon the following analyses:
a. An analysis of the availability of facilities and services
b. An analysis of the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the character
of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic resources on site.

Response: The proposed GMPA does not change the Future Land Use Map or the Rural Lands Stewardship
Overlay Map.
FS Section 163.3248 Rural Land Stewardship Areas
(1) Rural land stewardship areas are designed to establish a long-term incentive-based strategy to balance
and guide the allocation of land so as to accommodate future land uses in a manner that protects the
natural environment, stimulate economic growth and diversification, and encourage the retention of land
for agriculture and other traditional rural land uses.
…
(5) A rural land stewardship area shall be not less than 10,000 acres, shall be located outside of municipalities
and established urban service areas, and shall be designated by plan amendment by each local
government with jurisdiction over the rural land stewardship area. The plan amendment or amendments
designating a rural land stewardship area are subject to review pursuant to s. 163.3184 and shall provide
for the following:
(a) Criteria for the designation of receiving areas which shall, at a minimum, provide for the following:
adequacy of suitable land to accommodate development so as to avoid conflict with significant
environmentally sensitive areas, resources, and habitats; compatibility between and transition from
higher density uses to lower intensity rural uses; and the establishment of receiving area service
boundaries that provide for a transition from receiving areas and other land uses within the rural land
stewardship area through limitations on the extension of services.
(b) Innovative planning and development strategies to be applied within rural land stewardship areas
pursuant to this section.
(c) A process for the implementation of innovative planning and development strategies within the rural
land stewardship area, including those described in this subsection, which provide for a functional
mix of land uses through the adoption by the local government of zoning and land development
regulations applicable to the rural land stewardship area.
(d) A mix of densities and intensities that would not be characterized as urban sprawl through the use of
innovative strategies and creative land use techniques.
…
(11) It is the intent of the Legislature that the rural land stewardship area located in Collier County, which was
established pursuant to the requirements of a final order by the Governor and Cabinet, duly adopted as
a growth management plan amendment by Collier County, and found in compliance with this chapter,
be recognized as a statutory rural land stewardship area and be afforded the incentives in this section.
Response: The Collier County RLSA Overlay has been recognized by the State as a statutory Rural Land
Stewardship Area. The proposed text amendments to the County’s RLSA Overlay are consistent with the
overall intent of Section 163.3248. The proposed amendments seek to remove the maximum size for SRA’s

designated as Towns and to provide clarifying language that minimum “Goods and Services” include
business and industry uses that further promote economic sustainability and development, diversification,
and job creation, including Florida Qualified Industries. The proposed amendment does not make changes
to the Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay Map, including areas designated as FSAs, HSAs, WRAs, or Open
Land. Per the County RLSAO, open lands may be designated as Stewardship Receiving Areas (SRA) as either
Towns, Villages or Compact Rural Developments. The amendment does not affect where SRAs can be
located and the RLSAO limits the total acreage that can be designated as an SRA at 45,000-acres.
GMP Future Land Use Element:
OBJECTIVE 5: Implement land use policies that promote sound planning, protect environmentally
sensitive lands and habitat for listed species while protecting private property rights, ensure compatibility
of land uses and further the implementation of the Future Land Use Element.
Response: The RLSA program has been found to promote sound planning, protect environmentally
sensitive lands and habitats, while protecting private property rights and ensuring compatibility of land
uses. The proposed amendment to remove the maximum size of a Town SRA and to clarify that “goods
and services” includes employment centers, including Florida Qualified Target Industries, does not
conflict with this Objective.
Policy 5.7: Encourage the use of land presently designated for urban intensity uses before designating
other areas for urban intensity uses. This shall occur by planning for the expansion of County owned and
operated public facilities and services to the existing lands designated for urban intensity uses, the Rural
Settlement District (formerly known as North Golden Gate), and the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District,
before servicing new areas.
Response: The RLSA program already allows for the establishment or designation of SRAs within areas
not classified as WRAs, HSAs, or FSAs. These Open Lands have been deemed suitable for urban intensity
uses in the form of SRAs. The proposed amendment does not alter where SRAs can be located. The GMPA
only clarifies what can be counted toward required “Goods and Services” and allows for Town SRAs that
exceed 5,000 acres without affecting the maximum 45,000 acres of SRAs within the RLSA.
Conservation and Coastal Management Element:
Objectives 6.1: Protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum preservation
requirements.
Objective 6.2: Protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands pursuant to the
appropriate policies under Goal 6.
Objective 7.1: Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. (The County
relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify species that require special protection
because of their endangered, threatened, or species of special concern status. Listed animal species are those
species that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has designated as endangered,

Response: The RLSA program designates environmentally sensitive areas as WRAs, HSAs and FSAs and
prohibits new Towns, Villages and Compact Rural Developments from these areas. The development of an
SRA can only be accomplished through the use of SSA Credits, which are created through the preservation
and potential restoration of environmentally sensitive lands. Additionally, any proposed SRA must include
a Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) assessment to verify that land is appropriate for more intensive
development and limits what can occur on properties that score a 1.2 or higher.

REQUESTED ACTION/ DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The applicant proposes a small-scale Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) to the Future Land
Use Element (FLUE), specifically to establish the ±5 Tollgate Housing Parcel within the existing
Interchange Activity Center of the Urban Commercial District to allow residential development at a
maximum density of 22 units an acre.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Subject Property: The subject site is ±5-acres located on the east side of Collier Blvd, north of Beck
Boulevard, with direct access to Tollgate Boulevard within Activity Center #9 in section 35, Township, 49,
Range 26. According to the official Future Land Use map, the site is located within the Interchange Activity
Center Subdistrict of the Urban Commercial District of the Future Land Use Element. The Future Land Use
designation is designed to concentrate almost all new commercial zoning in locations where traffic impacts
can readily be accommodated, to avoid strip and disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to
create focal points within the community.
Surrounding Lands:
North: Future Land Use Designation; Interchange Activity Center subdistrict. Zoned;
Whitelake Industrial Corp Park PUD/ I-75 ROW Land Use; I-75 ROW.
East: Future Land Use Designation; Interchange Activity Center subdistrict. Zoned; Tollgate
PUD. Land Use; Outdoor Storage.
South: Future Land Use Designation; Interchange Activity Center subdistrict. Zoned; Tollgate
PUD. Land Use: Self Storage.
West: Future Land Use Designation; Interchange Activity Center subdistrict. Zoned, Tollgate
PUD. Land Use; Hotel.
In summary, the existing and planned land uses in the larger surrounding area are transient lodging,
commercial, and industrial.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Future Land Use Map designates the property as part of the Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict,
which is designed to concentrate almost all new commercial zoning in locations where traffic impacts can
readily be accommodated, to avoid strip and disorganized patterns of commercial development, and to
create focal points within the community as well as allow residential development within the boundaries of
Mixed Use Activity Centers at a density up to twenty-five (25) units per gross acre in accordance with the
standards of the Mixed-Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the Future
Land Use Element.
According to the current zoning map the subject site is part of the Tollgate PUD and was originally
developed a hotel/motel for the traveling public in 1989-90. In 2022, the applicant purchased the property
from the previous owners and intends to convert the existing hotel into a residential multi-family
development. The proposed GMP amendment is intended to allow for the reuse of the existing hotel and
transition the project to a 110-unit multi-family development with alterations to the existing structures,
which will serve to reinvigorate and reactivate the subject property and allow for the rapid absorption of
new residential units into the housing market. Accordingly, the Applicant has already made a substantial
investment to serve Collier’s residents through its coordination of multiple leases with important local
employers for its employees and through the Applicant’s dedicated efforts during Collier’s Hurricane Ian
recovery. As a conversion from hotel units, each dwelling unit will be limited to a minimum of 250 square
feet, and each unit will be limited to two occupants. Furthermore, elements of the Applicant’s housing
model, such as reusing the existing building, limiting the sizes of the units, coordinating leases directly with
employers, and providing all rooms fully furnished, all help to make rental prices attainable for employees.
As provided in the proposed subdistrict language, only 25 of the 110 dwelling units, or (22.7%) will be
designated as “set aside units.” Of the 25 set aside units 12 will be rented to those making up to 80% of the
9.A.2.a
Packet Pg. 257 Attachment: Staff report-toll-gate (29749 : PL20230007876-Tollgate Housing Subdistrict (GMPA))
4
median income and 13 units will be rented to those making up to 100% of the median income. These
commitments fall short of what is allowed within the existing Mixed Use Activity Center subdistrict, which
would allow a density of up to 25 units an acre subject to the standards of the Mixed-Income Housing
Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the Future Land Use Element. The Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) has enacted policy that requires any request for density above the maximum allowed
or when amending the future land use map for residential development that falls short of the current
affordable housing bonus standards to require a minimum of 30% of units be restricted to affordable levels.
Therefore, staff believes that the proposed subdistrict should increase the commitment from 22.7% to at
least 30% or more of the residential units to be set aside as affordable consistent with the previously
mentioned Board of County Commissioner policy or comply with the standards of the Mixed-Income
Housing Program for housing that is affordable.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: (FINDINGS PER 163.3177(6)(A)2 A.—J.)
• The Tollgate Housing Parcel proposes a Growth Management Plan Amendment to the current
Interchange Activity Center subdistrict to allow a multi-family development.
• Multi-family residential development is comparable and compatible with surrounding densities.
• County water and wastewater service is not available to the site.
• Transportation system impacts have not been identified with this petition.
Environmental Findings:
The subject property is 5 acres. The acreage of native vegetation on-site was field verified by staff
during the review of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the project. The existing native
vegetation will be maintained as previously approved.
The proposed GMP amendment has no effect on the requirements of the Conservation and
Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the GMP. Native vegetation on-site will be retained in
accordance with the requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.1 and section 3.05.07 of the LDC.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The County Attorney’s Office reviewed this Staff Report on August 26, 2024.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff cannot recommend approval of the subdistrict as proposed and recommends an increase of the
commitment from 22.7% to 30% of the residential units to be set aside as affordable consistent with
previous Board of County Commissioner policy and based on those changes, recommends the Collier
County Planning Commission to approve for adoption and transmittal petition PL20230007876 to the
Florida Department of Commerce and other statutorily required review agencies.

COLLIER COUNTY FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
I. Urban Designation
C. Urban – Commercial District
2. Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict:
Interchange Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map at three of the County’s four Interstate
75 interchanges and include numbers 4, 9 and 10; there is no Activity Center at the new I-75/Golden Gate Parkway
interchange. The boundaries of these Interchange Activity Centers have been specifically defined on the maps located at
the end of this Section as part of the Future Land Use Map Series. Any changes to the boundaries of these Interchange
Activity Centers shall require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map Series. Interchange Activity Centers #4 (I-75
at Immokalee Road) and #10 (I-75 at Pine Ridge Road) allow for the same mixture of land uses as allowed in the Mixed
Use Activity Centers; additionally, industrial uses, as identified below, are allowed in the southwest and southeast
quadrants of Interchange Activity Center #4. No industrial uses shall be allowed in Interchange Activity Center #10. The
actual mix of uses shall be determined during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same factors listed under
the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict.
All new projects within Activity Center #9 are encouraged to have a unified plan of development in the form of a Planned
Unit Development. However, the 3.7-acre property formerly utilized by the Florida Highway Patrol Headquarters located
east of the Tollgate PUD/DRI may be split into two (2) parcels and one of the parcels being 3.4 acres will be permitted
to utilize conventional zoning. The remainder 0.26-acre parcel is excluded from Interchange Activity Center #9. The
mixture of uses allowed in Interchange Activity Center #9 shall include all land uses allowed in the Mixed Use Activity
Centers; additionally, industrial uses shall be allowed in the northeast and southeast quadrants of I - 75 and Collier
Boulevard, and in the southwest quadrant of Collier and Davis Boulevards. The actual mix of uses shall be determined
during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed Use Activity Center
Subdistrict.
For residential-only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center which
is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential units per gross acre may be allowed.
Development located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center in all subdistrict may be permitted up to 25
units per gross acre per standards of the Mixed- Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in
the LDC. If such a project is located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center which is within the Urban
Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict, except as allowed by the Mixed -
Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the LDC. For a residential -only project located
partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, the density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of
the project may be distributed throughout the project.
Mixed-use developments‒whether consisting of residential units located above commercial uses, in an attached building,
or in a freestanding building‒are allowed and encouraged within Interchange Activity Centers. Such mixed -use projects
are intended to be developed at a humanscale, pedestrian -oriented, and interconnected with adjacent projects–whether
commercial or residential. Street, pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with adjacent properties, where
possible and practicable, are encouraged. Density for such a project is calculated based upon the gross project acreage
within the Activity Center. If such a project is located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center which is
not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, the eligible density is sixteen dwelling units per acre. Development
located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center in all subdistrict may be permitted up to twenty -five (25)
units per gross acre per standards of the mixed -Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the
LDC. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban

Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a project located partially
within and partially outside of an Activity Center, and the portion within an Activity Center is developed as mixed use, the
density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project shall not be distributed outside of the Activity Center.
Based on the unique location and function of Interchange Activity Centers, some Industrial land uses‒those that serve
regional markets and derive specific benefit when located in the Interchange Activity Centers‒shall be allowed in the
Activity Center quadrants previously identified. These uses shall be limited to: manufacturing, warehousing, storage, and
distribution.
During the rezone process, each such use shall be reviewed to determine if it will be compatible with existing and approved
land uses.
The following conditions shall be required to ensure compatibility of Industrial land uses with other land uses allowed
in the Interchange Activity Centers; to maintain the appearance of these Interchange Activity Centers as gateways to the
community; and to mitigate any adverse impacts caused by noise, glare or fumes to the adjacent property owners. The
Planned Unit Development and/or rezoning ordinance shall contain specific language regarding the permitted Industrial
land uses, compatibility requirements, and development standards consistent with the following conditions. Site-specific
development details will be reviewed during the Site Development Plan review process.
a. Landscaping, buffering and/or berming shall be installed along the Interstate;
b. Fencing shall be wooden or masonry;
c. Wholesale and storage uses shall not be permitted immediately adjacent to the right-ofway of the Interstate; d.
Central water and sewage systems shall be required;
e. Ingress and egress shall be consistent with State Access Management Plans, as applicable;
f. No direct access to the Interstate right-of-way shall be permitted;
g. Joint access and frontage roads shall be established when frontage is not adequate to meet the access spacing
requirements of the Access Control Policy, Activity Center Access Management Plan provisions, or State Access
Management Plans, as applicable;
h. Access points and median openings shall be designed to provide adequate turning radii to accommodate truck
traffic and to minimize the need for U-turn movements;
i. The developer shall be responsible to provide all necessary traffic improvements to include traffic signals, turn lanes,
deceleration lanes, and other improvements deemed necessary‒as determined through the rezoning process; and,
j. A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for the designated Industrial land uses component of the projects shall be
established at 0.45.
Tollgate Housing Parcel
The Tollgate Housing Parcel comprises 5+/- acres on the east side of Collier Boulevard (C.R. 951), north of Beck
Boulevard with direct access to Tollgate Boulevard within Activity Center #9 in Section 35, Township 49, Range 26. In
addition to the uses, densities, and intensities allowed in Activity Center #9, the Tollgate Housing Parcel is intended to
allow multi-family dwelling units to promote the integration of housing in proximity to transit, employment centers, and
public infrastructure, which will serve to reduce existing trip lengths. The Tollgate Housing Parcel is identified in the
Activity Cener Subdistrict Map included as Part of the FLUM and Map Series for Activity Center #9, and is within the
existing Tollgate Commercial Center PUD. The Development of the Tollgate Housing Parcel shall be governed by the
following criteria:
a. Rezoning is required to be in the form of an amendment to the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD.
b. Residential uses are allowed at a maximum density of 22 dwelling units per acre calculated based upon the

Tollgate Housing Parcel GMPA
Project Narrative and Justification
The Property is located in an area of existing and planned urban development within the County’s
Urban-designated area and within the Mixed Use Activity Center future land use category (Activity
Center #9). The subject property is located within the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD, established
by Ordinance 92-10 and which has been amended several times by Ordinances 93-91, 2015-49,
and 2017-15. The proposed amendment is limited to the area identified as Parcel 11 within the
Tollgate Commercial Center PUD.
I. Request
K2 Housing Naples, LLC (“Applicant”), is requesting an amendment to the Growth Management Plan
to facilitate the reuse of the existing Super 8 Hotel into a multifamily development aimed at providing
affordable workforce housing to essential workers in Collier County. The change will amend the
Interchange Activity Center #9 Subdistrict to allow 110 multifamily residential dwellings on the
properties identified as Parcel 11 in the PUD only. Companion DRI and PUD amendments are also
proposed to implement this change.
As demonstrated in the companion PUD request, one deviation from landscaping requirements is
proposed to provide flexibility in the reuse of the property and to address existing conditions and
constraints on the property. The 168 existing parking spaces exceed the required minimum parking
spaces for multifamily efficiency units in LDC section 4.05.04. (110 units x 0.5 spaces = 55 spaces
required). No other changes to the approved commercial uses, development standards or other
development tracts within the companion PUD are included in this request.
The proposed GMP amendment will allow for the reuse of the existing hotel and transition the project
to a 110-unit multifamily development with alterations to the existing structures which will serve to
reinvigorate and reactivate the subject property and allow for the rapid absorption of new residential
units into the housing market. Accordingly, the proposed reuse comes and corresponding significant
additional financial investment by the applicant will be made after the Applicant has already made a
substantial investment to serve Collier’s residents through its coordination of multiple leases with
important local employers for its employees and through the Applicant’s dedicated efforts during
Collier’s Hurricane Ian recovery as described further in the next section. The proposed amendment
is limited to creating the “Tollgate Housing Parcel,” within the Activity Center #9 subdistrict in the
Future Land Use Map.
The following data and analysis support approval of the proposed GMP Amendment and identifies
the request’s appropriateness in relation to the adopted Goals, Objectives and Policies in the GMP
and the requirements set forth in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. Additional justification, data, and
analysis is provided in the attached exhibits.
II. Background Information
In 1992, the Property was rezoned from PUD to the “Tollgate Commercial Center PUD,” allowing for
commercial and light industrial uses on approximately 100+/- acres in three phases. Since that time,
the PUD has been amended several times, most recently by Ordinance 2017-15. The subject
property is located in Interchange Activity Center #9 in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the
Growth Management Plan for Collier County. The Interchange Activity Center includes a

concentration of commercial, industrial, residential, and mixed use developments. The 5-acre subject
property operated as a 104-room hotel until it was purchased by the Applicant in 2022.
The Applicant is requesting an amendment to the GMP to facilitate the adaptive reuse of the existing
Super 8 Hotel into a multifamily development to allow for permanent residences within the existing
building. Companion changes to the DRI and PUD will also limit the development to 110 multifamily
residential dwellings on Parcel 11 only.
Prior to this request, the Applicant purchased the property only eight days before Hurricane Ian
devastated the County in September of 2022. Despite the Applicant’s original business plan to re-
open the hotel a couple of months later in November of 2022, given the devastation caused by the
hurricane, the Applicant spurred into action and spent significant resources to immediately make
temporary living spaces for Collier residents who were displaced by Hurricane Ian and to first
responders – these groups included Naples Community Hospital staff, and other essential workers
from Moorings Park employees and local small business workers, hospitality workers and disaster
recovery construction workers. Since that time, the Applicant has continued to work with prominent
local employers to provide temporary housing to their employees. The need for this housing has
been tested through this temporary housing arrangement, which has remained at, or nearly, 100%
occupied. Transitioning to permanent multifamily dwellings will further improve and formalize a
housing opportunity that has already proven successful and demonstrates a long-term commitment
to Collier County’s future.
The Applicant’s housing model has been coordinated through lease agreements with local
employers, who are then able to provide housing directly to their employees. As a conversion from
hotel units, each dwelling unit will be limited to a minimum of 250 square feet and each unit is limited
to two occupants. Furthermore, elements of the Applicant’s housing model, such as, reusing the
existing building, limiting the sizes of the units, coordinating leases directly with employers, and
providing all rooms fully furnished, all help to make rental prices attainable for employees.
Additionally, the proposed GMP amendment and Rezone include commitments to provide affordable
housing through income and rent limits.
The Applicant’s housing model has been tested at the subject property and throughout the country.
The Applicant’s housing model has also been utilized successfully in Steamboat Springs, Colorado,
where the Applicant similarly invested significant resources to convert 104 temporary rooms at the
Steamboat Hotel and Steamboat Mountain Lodge to permanent workforce multifamily dwellings for
local employers and its employees. Additionally, The Urban Land Institute has reported in 2022, that
this housing model is at the forefront of the attempt to address multifamily housing shortages across
the nation (See https://urbanland.uli.org/planning-design/hotel-to-housing-conversions-proliferate/).
The transition from hotel to multifamily units represents an innovative, but tested, approach to
providing housing that also adds to Collier County’s housing diversity.
The proposed amendment will allow for the reuse of the existing hotel and transition the project to a
110-unit multifamily development which will allow for residents to become permanent rather than
temporary, and allowing for the rapid absorption of a much-needed workforce housing solution into
the market.

III. Justification of Proposed Amendment
As stated in the Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict in the GMP, “The mixture of uses allowed in
Interchange Activity Center #9 shall include all land uses allowed in the Mixed Use Activity Centers;
additionally, industrial uses shall be allowed in the northeast and southeast quadrants of I-75 and
Collier Boulevard.” The proposed amendment is in direct compliance with the intent of this section
to provide a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The amendment provides for
residential development near to commercial uses, thereby reducing vehicular trips and providing a
bona fide mix of uses in an urbanized area and supports diverse housing options.
The amendment is limited to allowing for the reuse of an existing hotel and does not require
significant redevelopment of the site, nor are residential uses anticipated in other areas of the PUD.
The requested amendment directly facilitates adaptive re-use opportunities in an established activity
center within the Urban-designated area, and locates residents in walking distance to goods,
services and employment. As detailed in the enclosed Ch. 163 Sprawl Analysis, the amendment
directly supports sound planning principles, including the integration of residential and non-
residential land uses.
The property’s location within an established activity center, with significant employment uses nearby
makes it an ideal area to accommodate residential uses. The site is not located adjacent to
established residential communities that would result in compatibility concerns with neighboring
developments.
Maximum density within Interchange Activity Centers which are not within the Urban Residential
Fringe is 16 dwelling units per acre, which would allow for up to 80 units on the 5± acre Property.
The proposed amendment will allow for the reuse of existing hotel rooms to create 110 multifamily
units, for a gross project density of 22 dwelling units per acre. This increase directly addresses the
identified demand for diversified housing to accommodate the County’s existing residents and
projected population growth and to the need for workforce housing opportunities to serve a growing
diverse employment base throughout the County.

The density proposed is appropriate for the location considering the adjacent densities and
intensities as noted above; the existing and available public infrastructure in the immediate area; the
lack of environmentally sensitive lands and natural resources on the site; and the demand for higher-
density, affordable workforce housing.
Growth Management Plan Consistency
The proposed changes maintain the project’s consistency with the Collier County Growth
Management Plan. More specifically, the following policies in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE)
FLUE Policy 5.5: “Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost
of community facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban
on the Future Land Use Map; requiring that any additions to the Urban Designated Areas be
contiguous to an existing Urban Area boundary; and, encouraging the use of creative land use
planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County’s
Agricultural/Rural designated area, which will better serve to protect environmentally sensitive
areas, maintain the economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land uses, and
provide for cost efficient delivery of public facilities and services.”
The proposed development will reuse an existing building within the urban area rather than
relocating to undeveloped, non-urban areas of the Future Land Use Map. As a reuse project,
the request establishes a creative land use planning technique and an innovative approach
to development that will increase the diversity of housing types in Collier County. Although
the request does not create an innovative approach to development within the
Agricultural/Rural designated area, the reuse of existing urban areas in new and creative also
has the effect of reducing development pressures in more rural areas of the County, thereby
supporting this policy.
FLUE Policy 5.6: “New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the
surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted
June 22, 2004, and effective October 18, 2004, as amended).”
The proposed change maintains compatibility with the surrounding land uses by reusing a
building previously used for temporary lodging. Transitioning the property from a hotel to
multifamily dwellings will reduce traffic impacts associated with the PUD. The proposed
change is complementary to surrounding land uses as it provides affordable workforce
housing in proximity to goods, services, and employment areas.
FLUE Policy 5.7: “Encourage the use of land presently designated for urban intensity uses before
designating other areas for urban intensity uses. This shall occur by planning for the expansion
of County owned and operated public facilities and services to existing lands designated for
urban intensity uses, the Rural Settlement District (formerly known as North Golden Gate), and
the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, before servicing new areas.”
The request supports this policy by reusing existing urban areas rather than locating the
development in undeveloped areas. The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD is currently
served by existing public facilities and services and the request does not require extension
of urban services to new areas.

FLUE Policy 7.1: “The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their
properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made
without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code.”
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD/DRI includes established connection points to Beck
Blvd. and the proposed change will maintain those connections. The subject property will be
accessed by Beck Blvd. via Tollgate Blvd. and there are no additional connections proposed.
FLUE Policy 7.2: “The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help
reduce vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic
signals.”
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD/DRI includes several public roads throughout and
adjacent to the development which provide access to other areas of the PUD. This application
does not propose any change to the road layout.
FLUE Policy 7.4: “The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable
communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of
housing prices and types.”
This application is consistent with this policy as it does not include any changes to the
previously approved uses, intensity, or open space. Existing sidewalk facilities within the
Tollgate PUD provide for walkability and connect to nearby commercial areas.
FLUE Policy 7.5: “The County shall encourage mixed-use development within the same buildings
by allowing residential dwelling units over and/or abutting commercial development. This Policy
shall be implemented through provisions in specific Subdistricts in this Growth Management
Plan.”
The request supports this policy to encourage mixed-use development through the addition
of residential uses abutting commercial development. The companion GMP amendment
proposes to amend the Interchange Activity Center #9 subdistrict to limit the residential
density on this parcel.
CCME Objective 6.1: “Protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum
preservation requirements. (The Policies under this Objective apply to all of Collier County except
for that portion of the County which is identified on the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay.)”
This application is limited to the reuse of an existing, developed, hotel site. No changes are
proposed to previously approved preservation requirements. Established preserves within
the PUD are demonstrated on the Master Concept Plan.
CCME Objective 7.1: “Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their
habitats. (The County relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify
species that require special protection because of their endangered, threatened, or species of
special concern status. Listed animal species are those species that the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission has designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special
concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, F.A.C. and those
species designated by various federal agencies as Endangered and Threatened species
published in 50 CFR 17.)”

Project Narrative and Justification
Tollgate Housing Parcel GMPA
Page 6 of 6
This application is consistent with this policy as it is not located within, nor does it propose
impacts to, listed animal species and their habitats. The existing building and paved areas
are not proposed to be changed, and this application only facilitates the reuse of the property
for multifamily dwellings.
Housing Element Goal 1: TO CREATE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF DECENT, SAFE,
SANITARY, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF COLLIER COUNTY.
This application is consistent with this goal as it provides 110 new decent, safe, sanitary and
reasonably priced housing units to be rented to employers and employees for local
businesses to attract and retain employees. As an adaptive reuse project, the application
provides the additional benefit of locating these new units in close proximity to employment
uses. Additionally, the proposed GMP amendment and Rezone include commitments to
provide affordable housing through income and rent limits.
IV. Conclusion
As demonstrated above and through other application documents, the proposed amendment will
further several county goals identified in the Growth Management Plan:
• Provide a diversity of housing options, including multifamily dwellings and workforce housing,
to address gaps in the existing housing diversity;
• Efficiently use the County’s investment in public infrastructure by locating intensive land uses
in urban-designated areas of the County where adequate and available public facilities and
infrastructure exist;
• Uphold the intent of the Urban Commercial Subdistrict and the Interchange Activity Center
Subdistrict by providing a mix of land uses, including a variety of residential uses.
In conclusion, this amendment specifically addresses all aspects of the County’s vision for clustered,
compact development and the creation of walkable, mixed-use development within Interchange
Activity Centers. The amendment provides for diverse and affordable housing types near existing
goods, services and employment. For these reasons, the Applicant respectfully requests approval of
the GMP amendment and allow for the reuse of the existing hotel as multifamily dwelling units as
requested.

75 at Immokalee Road) and #10 (I-75 at Pine Ridge Road) allow for the same mixture of land uses
as allowed in the Mixed Use Activity Centers; additionally, industrial uses, as identified below, are
allowed in the southwest and southeast quadrants of Interchange Activity Center #4. No industrial
uses shall be allowed in Interchange Activity Center #10. The actual mix of uses shall be determined
during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed Use
Activity Center Subdistrict.
All new projects within Activity Center #9 are encouraged to have a unified plan of development in
the form of a Planned Unit Development. However, the 3.7-acre property formerly utilized by the
Florida Highway Patrol Headquarters located east of the Tollgate PUD/DRI may be split into two (2)
parcels and one of the parcels being 3.4 acres will be permitted to utilize conventional zoning. The
remainder 0.26-acre parcel is excluded from Interchange Activity Center #9. The mixture of uses
allowed in Interchange Activity Center #9 shall include all land uses allowed in the Mixed Use Activity
Centers; additionally, industrial uses shall be allowed in the northeast and southeast quadrants of I-
75 and Collier Boulevard, and in the southwest quadrant of Collier and Davis Boulevards. The actual
mix of uses shall be determined during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same
factors listed under the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict.
For residential-only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of an Interchange
Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential units
per gross acre may be allowed. Development located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity
Center in all subdistrict may be permitted up to 25 units per gross acre per standards of the Mixed -
Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the LDC. If such a project is
located within the boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential
Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict, except as allowed by the
Mixed-Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined in the LDC. For a
residential-only project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, the density
accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project may be distributed throughout the project.
Mixed-use developments‒whether consisting of residential units located above commercial uses, in
an attached building, or in a freestanding building‒are allowed and encouraged within Interchange
Activity Centers. Such mixed-use projects are intended to be developed at a humanscale,
pedestrian-oriented, and interconnected with adjacent projects–whether commercial or residential.
Street, pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with adjacent properties, where possible
and practicable, are encouraged. Density for such a project is calculated based upon the gross
project acreage within the Activity Center. If such a project is located within the boundaries of an
Interchange Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, th e eligible
density is sixteen dwelling units per acre. Development located within the boundaries of an
Interchange Activity Center in all subdistrict may be permitted up to twenty -five (25) units per gross
acre per standards of the mixed-Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable as outlined
in the LDC. If such a project is located within the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is
within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that
Subdistrict. For a project located partially within and partially outside of an Activity Center, and the
portion within an Activity Center is developed as mixed use, the density accumulated from the Activity

Based on the unique location and function of Interchange Activity Centers, some Industrial land
uses‒those that serve regional markets and derive specific benefit when located in the Interchange
Activity Centers‒shall be allowed in the Activity Center quadrants previously identified. These uses
shall be limited to: manufacturing, warehousing, storage, and distribution.
During the rezone process, each such use shall be reviewed to determine if it will be compatible with
existing and approved land uses.
The following conditions shall be required to ensure compatibility of Industrial land uses with other
land uses allowed in the Interchange Activity Centers; to maintain the appearance of these
Interchange Activity Centers as gateways to the community; and to mitigate any adverse impacts
caused by noise, glare or fumes to the adjacent property owners. The Planned Unit Development
and/or rezoning ordinance shall contain specific language regarding the permitted Industrial land
uses, compatibility requirements, and development standards consistent with the following
conditions. Site-specific development details will be reviewed during the Site Development Plan
review process.

Exhibit V.D.1 - Sprawl Analysis
Section 163.3177(6)(a)9, F.S., states that “… any amendment to the future land use element shall
discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl.” Section 163.3177(6)(a)9.b, F.S., specifies that a, “plan
amendment shall be determined to discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl if it incorporates a
development pattern or urban form that achieves four or more of the following:”
(I) Directs or locates economic growth and associated land development to geographic
areas of the community in a manner that does not have an adverse impact on and protects
natural resources and ecosystems.
Response: The proposed Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) directs compact
residential growth patterns to an urbanized area of the county where development is
encouraged. Moreover, the GMPA allows for the reuse of existing development. As a result,
growth pressure on environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitats and associated natural
resources is alleviated.
(II) Promotes the efficient and cost-effective provision or extension of public
infrastructure and services.
Response: The amendment proposes to increase density within an existing activity center,
where adequate and available infrastructure exists to accommodate the proposed increase
in residential density as outlined in Exhibit IV.E, Public Facilities Analysis.
(III) Promotes walkable and connected communities and provides for compact
development and a mix of uses at densities and intensities that will support a range of
housing choices and a multimodal transportation system, including pedestrian, bicycle, and
transit, if available.
Response: The project is served by an adequate roadway system including Collier Blvd.,
Beck Blvd., and Tollgate Blvd. The amendment will not increase the previously approved
vehicle trips for the PUD as the proposed MF use will generate less trips than the existing
hotel use. Development authorized through this amendment will demonstrate a high level of
connectivity by providing opportunities for multi-modal transportation through the integration
of residential uses proximate to existing and planned commercial and employment uses. The
resulting development patterns will support walking, bicycling, and fewer vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) between housing, commercial uses and employment and in developments
with greater separation from non-residential uses. The amendment proposes to include
multifamily development, in an area of the county where such demand exists and proximate
to non-residential uses. The project will connect to existing sidewalks on both Collier Blvd.
and Beck Blvd., as well as existing public transit facilities in the area.

Page 2 of 3
(IV) Promotes conservation of water and energy.
Response: The proposed amendment allows for the reuse of an existing building and does
not alter existing energy conservation requirements in the DRI approval. Previously approved
preserve requirements also remain unchanged in the proposed PUD amendment. As the
property is located in an urbanized portion of the County, with existing and available public
infrastructure, the amendment will not require an expansion of facilities to support the
development, which also results in the conservation of energy.
(V) Preserves agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture, and dormant,
unique, and prime farmlands and soils.
Response: The site is not appropriate for agricultural uses due to the existing development
on the property and planned development in the immediate area. By allowing a diverse
housing project to occur in an area where it is appropriate and compatible with surrounding
land uses, the demand to develop in areas with active agriculture is protected, in direct
compliance with this statute.
(VI) Preserves open space and natural lands and provides for public open space and
recreation needs.
Response: By locating the requested development program in an existing interchange
activity center surrounded by other mixed-use developments, the project directly complies by
preserving existing natural lands. Furthermore, as detailed in the companion PUD rezone
application, the previously approved preserve area within the Tollgate Commercial Center
PUD will remain.
(VII) Creates a balance of land uses based upon demands of the residential population for
the nonresidential needs of an area.
Response: In direct compliance with this statute, the proposed amendment provides for the
development of a compact residential project to provide more diverse, in-demand housing
options to serve the projected population growth in Collier County. The proposed amendment
supports the development of a mix of housing types in proximity to goods and services, as
well as employment opportunities. The reuse of the hotel for workforce housing in this area
balances the need for housing that is proximate to employment uses.
(VIII) Provides uses, densities, and intensities of use and urban form that would remediate
an existing or planned development pattern in the vicinity that constitutes sprawl or if it
provides for an innovative development pattern such as transit-oriented developments or
new towns as defined in s. 163.3164.
Response: The proposed GMPA provides for unique residential housing within an existing
planned development. The proposed development is within an activity center that includes

Page 3 of 3
other existing and developing mixed use planned developments, and therefore contributes to
the development pattern in this area where such growth is appropriate and anticipated. By
reusing a hotel as a multifamily development in a developed activity center with public
infrastructure and continued employment growth, the County can accommodate projected
long-term growth in population while preserving the rural lands in the eastern portions of the
County.
Section 163.3178(1), F.S., states that “A small scale development amendment may be adopted
under the following conditions:”
(a) The proposed amendment involves a use of 50 acres or fewer and:
Response: The proposed amendment is limited to 5± acres.
(b) The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and
objectives of the local government’s comprehensive plan, but only proposes a land use
change to the future land use map for a site-specific small scale development activity.
However, text changes that relate directly to, and are adopted simultaneously with, the small
scale future land use map amendment shall be permissible under this section.
Response: The proposed text changes are limited to those that relate directly to the small-
scale future land use map amendment.
(c) The property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is not located within an area
of critical state concern, unless the project subject to the proposed amendment involves the
construction of affordable housing units meeting the criteria of s. 420.0004(3), and is located
within an area of critical state concern designated by s. 380.0552 or by the Administration
Commission pursuant to s. 380.05(1).
Response: The property is not located within an area of critical state concern.
In conclusion, this amendment specifically addresses all aspects of the County’s vision for clustered,
compact development and a diversity of housing types in the urban service area. The amendment
will provide for housing proximate to goods, services, employment and transit. The amendment also
makes efficient use of the public investment in infrastructure, while ensuring the long-term
preservation of large tracts of environmentally sensitive and agriculturally productive lands in the
rural area.

Exhibit V.E.1 & 3 – Public Facilities
The proposed text amendment is site-specific and only applies to a portion of the Tollgate
Commercial Center MPUD, located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Collier Blvd. and
I-75. The proposed application requests up to 22 dwelling units per acre, or a maximum of 110
dwelling units (DUs) on the 5-acre parcel.
The following public facilities analysis evaluates the project impacts on potable water, wastewater,
drainage, parks, schools, roadways, fire/EMS, and solid waste. The source for the LOS information
is the 2022 AUIR.
1. POTABLE WATER
Adopted Level of Service Standard = 130 gallons per capita day (gpcd)
Potable Water Demand: 110 DU x 130 GPD x 2.5 PPH = 35,750 GPD
Peak Water Demand: 35,750 GPD x 1.3 = 46,475 GPD
Permitted Treatment Capacity (FY 23): 52.00 MGD
Required Treatment Capacity (FY23): 37.86 MGD
Permitted Treatment Capacity (FY 32): 57.00 MGD
Required Treatment Capacity (FY32): 42.65 MGD
The proposed GMP amendment results in an increased potable water demand of 35,750
GPD and increased peak water demand of 46,475 GPD. The property is located within the
Collier County potable water service area. The County has existing plant capacity of
approximately 14.14 MGD for FY23. The proposed 110 multi-family dwelling units will not
create any LOS issues in the 10-year planning horizon. This Project will have no significant
impact on the potable water system and capacity is available in Collier County.
2. SANITARY SEWER
Adopted Level of Service Standard = 90 GPD/person/day
Wastewater Demand: 110 DU x 90 GPD x 2.5 PPH = 24,750 GPD
Peak Wastewater Demand: 24,750 GPD x 1.24 = 30,690 GPD
Permitted/Operational Treatment Capacity (FY 23): 16.00 MGD
Required Treatment Capacity (FY 23): 11.10 MGD
Permitted/Operational Treatment Capacity (FY 32): 16.00 MGD
Required Treatment Capacity (FY 32): 11.84 MGD
The proposed GMP amendment results in an increased wastewater demand of 24,750 GPD
and increased peak wastewater demand of 30,690 GPD. The Tollgate Housing Subdistrict is
in the South Sewer Service Area of the Collier County Water/Sewer District. The proposed
110 multi-family dwelling units will not create any LOS issues in the 10-year planning horizon.

This proposed amendment will have no significant impact on the Collier County Regional
Sewer System.
3. ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS
Please refer to the TIS Waiver Request for discussions of the project’s impact on level of
service for arterial and collector roadways within the project’s radius of development
influence.
4. DRAINAGE
The County has adopted a LOS standard for private developments which requires
development to occur consistent with water quantity and quality standards established in
Ordinances 74-50, 90-10, 2001-27, and LDC Ordinance 2004-41, as may be amended.
The Tollgate Housing Subdistrict will not include any expansion of existing development
areas. The existing development will utilize and refurbish the existing building on the property
and will comply with the existing permits. The proposed amendment is consistent with the
County LOS standards.
5. SOLID WASTE
Adopted LOS = Two (2) years of lined cell capacity
Ten (10) years of permittable landfill capacity of the disposal rate.
Solid Waste Demand: 110 DU x 0.67 tons per person x 2.5 PPH = 184.25 tons
Two (2) years of constructed lined cell capacity requirement: 555,384 tons
Two (2) years of constructed lined cell capacity: 3,935,561 tons
Ten (10) years permittable capacity requirement: 2,906,534 tons
Total remaining permittable capacity: 12,906,476 tons
The proposed GMP amendment results in an increased solid waste demand of 184.25 tons
per year. The proposed 110 multi-family dwelling units will not create any LOS issues in the
10-year planning horizon. The current two (2) years of constructed lined cell capacity
3,380,117 tons. The current total remaining capacity is 9,999,942 tons. The amendment will
not create any current capacity issues, and none are anticipated through the year 2062.
6. COMMUNITY & REGIONAL PARKS
Adopted LOS = 1.2 acres per 1,000/population for community park land
2.7 acres per 1,000/population for regional park land
Existing Demand:
N/A
Proposed Demand:
110 DU x 1.2 acres x (2.5 PPH/1,000) = 0.33 Acres
110 DU x 2.7 acres x (2.5 PPH/1,000) = 0.74 Acres

Regional Parks Inventory:
Available Inventory as of 9/30/2022: 1,561.71 Acres
Required Inventory as of 9/30/2027: 1,363.59 Acres
The proposed GMP amendment results in an increased community parks demand of 0.33
acres and increased regional parks demand of 0.74 acres. There is sufficient park land
inventory to accommodate the 110 multi-family dwelling units. Additionally, the proposed
dwelling units will pay park impact fees to mitigate their impacts on this public facility.
Therefore, there will be no adverse impacts to Community or Regional Parks. The proposed
amendment is consistent with the County LOS standards.
7. SCHOOLS
The Tollgate Housing Subdistrict is located within District 1. A School Impact Analysis
Application is attached. The proposed 110 dwelling units will pay school impact fees to
mitigate the increased demand. No adverse impacts to schools result from the creation of the
subdistrict.

Types of Reviews:
School Impact Analysis:
This review should be divided into two categories:
- School Capacity Review (land use and rezonings), and;
- Concurrency Determinations (site plans and subdivisions).
School Capacity Review is the review of a project in the land use and rezoning stage of development. It is a
review of the impact of the development on school capacity and is considered long range planning. This may
be a review resulting in mitigation being required. In situations where the applicant may be required to
mitigate, capacity may be reserved dependent on the type of mitigation.
Concurrency Determination is the review of residential site plans and subdivisions to determine whether
there is available capacity. When capacity is determined to be available a School Capacity Determination
Letter (SCADL) will be issued verifying available capacity to the applicant and the local government. If a
project exceeds the adopted level of service standards, the applicant is afforded the option of a negotiation
period that may or may not result in an executed/recorded mitigation agreement Mitigation at this stage is
expressed as a Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement. For those residential developments that may have
an impact but are otherwise exempt from concurrency, an exemption letter will be prepared for the applicant
upon request. For those residential developments that are determined to not have an impact, a letter of no
impact will be prepared for the applicant upon request.
Exemption Letter:
An applicant may request an Exemption Letter as documentation for the local government. These are projects
that would be exempt from school concurrency review or projects that do not impact the public schools.
Exemptions from school concurrency are limited to existing single family or mobile home lots of record;
amendments to previously approved site plans or plats that do not increase the number of dwelling units or
change the dwelling unit type; age restricted communities with no permanent residents under the age of 18; or
residential site plans or plats or amendments to site plans or plats that generate less than one student; or are
authorized as a Development of Regional Impact (Chapter 380, F.S.) as of July 1, 2005.
Concurrency Determination Amendment:
An applicant may request an amendment to a previously issued School Concurrency Determination or to an
application being processed. This review may require additional staff time beyond the initial concurrency
determination review and results in a modified determination being issued. An amendment could result in a
negotiation period and/or a mitigation agreement being issued or a previously approved determination being
modified and reissued.

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
On February 11, 1992, the Board of Commissioners approved Ordinance No. 92-10, the Tollgate
Commercial Center Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of ±100.23 acres, repealing
Ordinance No. 84-6 relating to a prior rezone. The PUD was then amended by the Board of
Commissioners on December 14, 1993, with approval of Ordinance No. 93-91, on September 25,
2015, with approval of Ordinance No. 15-49, and on May 9, 2017, with approval of Ordinance
No. 17-15. The PUD allows for a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses.
The subject site is +5 acres at 3880 Tollgate Boulevard and includes Parcel Nos. 76885005005
and 76885005102. The site is currently developed as a 104 -room Super 8 Motel constructed in
1990 and an unused semi-improved parking area. The petitioner refers to the site as Parcel 11 per
the PUD Master Plan; the subject property is legally described as Parcel 2 and Parcel 1 of Tollgate
Commercial Center Phase 1. Parcel 2 is roughly 4.33 acres occupied by the Super 8 Motel and

associated parking; Parcel 1 is roughly 0.75 acres encumbered by a Florida Power and Light
easement where the unused semi-improved parking area is located.
The site is in the Urban Commercial District, Interchange Activity Subdistrict, Interchange
Activity Center #9 on the Future Land Use Map. The Collier Boulevard/Interstate 75 Innovation
Zone Overlay (CBIIZO) applies to the site; this overlay was established to attract and retain
qualified targeted industry businesses as defined by Florida Statutes §288.106.
The petitioner seeks to convert the existing 104-room Super 8 Motel, which was constructed in
1990, into 110 multifamily dwellings. The proposed 110 units on the 4.33-acre motel property
equate to a density of 25.4 units per acre; when calculated on the 5.0-acre site, the density is 22
units per acre. The calculation of density across the entire 100-acre PUD is 1.1 units per acre.
A companion GMP Amendment (PL20230007876) is requested to change the Future Land Use
designation from Urban Commercial District, Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict, to the
Tollgate Housing Parcel Subdistrict with corresponding text amendments to allow for the proposed
conversion. An amendment to the Tollgate Commercial Center Development of Regional Impact
(DRI) Development Order is also requested to allow for the proposed conversion
(PL20230007875).
The petitioner requests to convert the existing 104 hotel units into 110 multi-family dwelling units,
of which 25 of the units (22.7%) will be “set aside” as income-restricted for a period of 30 years
from the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy of the first unit as follows:
• 12 units (10.9%) for households earning up to and including 80% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) for Collier County
• 13 units (11.8%) for households earning up to and including 100% of the AMI
Set aside units will be held vacant and advertised for a minimum period to give preference to
employees of Moorings, Incorporated, and affiliates, or other health care providers, teachers, first
responders, hospitality workers, and government employees as outlined in Section III,
“Commercial Areas Plan,” of Exhibit A included with the Draft PUD Ordinance, provided as
Attachment A to this staff report.
Remaining units will be rent restricted at a affordable rents for households whose incomes are up
to and including 120% of the AMI for Collier County.
Two deviations are requested:
1. Request to allow 5-foot-wide Type A buffers on the north, south, and west sides of Parcel
11 in lieu of the required 15-foot-wide Type B buffers and for the 15-foot-wide Type B
buffer required on the east side of Parcel 11 to be located outside the FPL easement in
closer proximity to the building.
2. Request to allow no additional parking for recreation facilities and other common uses.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
The GMP is the prevailing document to support land-use decisions, such as this proposed
amendment. Staff is required to make a recommendation regarding a finding of consistency or
inconsistency with the overall GMP as part of the recommendation for approval, approval with
conditions, or denial of any amendment petition. Upon adoption of the companion GMPA-
PL20230007876, this petition will be consistent with the GMP.
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The ±5.0-acre subject property is designated on the Collier
County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as Urban, Urban Commercial District, Interchange Activity
Center Subdistrict, Interchange Activity Center #9 intended for concentrations of commercial and

mixed-use development activities. Additionally, industrial uses are allowed in the northeast and
southeast quadrants of I-75 and Collier Boulevard. The subject property is located within the Phase
1 “A” Parcels and identified as “Parcel 11” on the PUD Master Development Plan.
The actual mix of uses permitted within the Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict is determined
during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed-Use
Activity Center Subdistrict. The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD establishes that “A” and “B”
Parcels will provide goods and services to motorists and area residents while “B” Parcels may also
accommodate service, assembly wholesale, and related heavy business uses. Residential uses are
not currently permitted. Since the applicant is requesting to repurpose the existing 104-unit hotel
to instead allow for up to 110 multi-family residential dwelling units, this PUD Amendment may
only be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management
Plan if the companion GMPA (PL20230007876) is approved and goes into effect and the uses and
intensities in this PUD align with those in the GMPA.
Transportation Element: In evaluating this project, staff reviewed the applicant’s February 28,
2024, TIS and revised PUD Document for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation
Element of the GMP.
Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP states;
“The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications,
conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development,
with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall
not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway
segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that
is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway
segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to
operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning
period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application
has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following
occur:
a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume;
b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal
to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and
c. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where
it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume.
Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant
and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project’s
significant impacts on all roadways.”
Staff finding: According to the TIS and revised PUD document, the proposed change will convert
an existing 104-room hotel to 110 multi-family dwelling units within the Tollgate Commercial
Center development. The TIS for this request indicates that the proposed change will result in a

potential reduction of +/- 15 PM peak hour two-way trips on the adjacent roadway network.
Therefore, based on the TIS and the revised PUD, the subject petition request can be found
consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan because
there are no additional traffic impacts resulting from the proposed change.
Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff has
found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element
(CCME). The proposed changes do not affect any of the environmental requirements of the GMP.
GMP Conclusion: The GMP is the prevailing document to support land use decisions, such as
this proposed rezoning. Staff is required to make a recommendation regarding a finding of
consistency or inconsistency with the overall GMP as part of the recommendation for approval ,
approval with conditions, or denial of any rezoning petition. This petition cannot be approved until
the companion Tollgate Commercial Center GMPA-PL20230007876 is adopted and goes into
effect with an effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMP Amendment.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of this land use petition, including the criteria
upon which a recommendation must be based, specifically noted in LDC Section 10.02.13.B.5,
Planning Commission Recommendation (commonly referred to as the “PUD Findings”), and
Section 10.02.08.F, Nature of Requirements of Planning Commission Report (referred to as
“Rezone Findings”), which establish the legal basis to support the CCPC’s recommendation. An
evaluation relative to these subsections is discussed below under the heading “Zoning Services
Analysis.”
Environmental Review: Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the petition to address
environmental concerns. The proposed PUD changes will not affect any of the environmental
requirements of the PUD document. Environmental Services staff recommends approval.
Landscape Review: For Landscape staff recommendations, see the Deviations Discussion
beginning on page 16 of this report and the Staff Recommendation beginning on page 19 of this
report.
Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition for compliance
with the GMP and the LDC and recommends approval.
Housing Policy & Economic Development Review: The petitioner requests to convert the existing
104 hotel units into 110 multi-family dwelling units, of which 25 of the units (22.7%) will be “set
aside” as income-restricted, with 12 units (10.9%) limited to those earning 80% or less of the Area
Median Income (AMI) for Collier County and 13 units (11.8%) limited to those earning up to and
including 100 percent of the AMI. Although there will be no income restrictions on the remaining
units, they will be rent restricted at a rent equal to or less than rents permitted for households whose
incomes are up to and including 120% of the AMI for Collier County. The PUD Amendment
includes commitments for the “set aside units” for a period of 30 years from the date of issuance
of a certificate of occupancy of the first unit.
Staff recommends that the petitioner provide at least 30% of the residential units as affordable,
consistent with previous Board of County Commissioner policy. The 30% requirement would

August 22, 2024
result in an additional eight (8) affordable set-aside units (4 at 80% AMI + 4 at 100% AMI). The
petitioner maintains that the Board’s 30% set-aside is intended to apply to new developments
seeking increased density. This proposal is a redevelopment motel-to-residential conversion
project. The most recent motel-to-residential conversion project approved by the Board (Golden
Gate Golf Course Inn, November 2023) was approved using the requested 22.7% affordable set-
aside, plus the remaining units limited to the 120% AMI rent limit.
For reference, the income and rent limits for efficiency apartment units at the 80%, 100%, and
120% AMI levels are as follows…
Zoning Services Review: Zoning Division staff has evaluated the proposed uses related to intensity
and compatibility. The density of the proposed development is 22.0 units/Ac (110 units / 5.0 acres),
which can only be achieved through a GMPA Amendment, which is in the process as companion
item GMPA-PL20230007876. The Tollgate Commercial Center is also approved as a
Development of Regional Impact (DRI), originally approved for 69.4 acres by Development Order
84-1 and amended by Resolution 92-100 (Development Order 92-1) to expand the project limits
to 100 acres. See the staff report for the companion DRI Development Order Amendment petition
DOA-PL20230007875 for more explanation about the DRI and proposed changes corresponding
to this PUDA request.
The property would typically be subject to the Density Rating System and maximum density per
the GMP. GMP policy allows for residential only development in the Interchange Activity Center
Subdistrict permitted up to 16 dwelling units per acre and up to 25 dwelling units per acre if
utilizing the Mixed-Income Housing Program for housing that is affordable. However, the
petitioner is seeking a GMP Amendment to create a subdistrict that will allow for the proposed
multi-family residential adaptive reuse of the existing hotel without utilizing the Density Rating
System or Mixed-Income Housing Program. The maximum density allowed by the proposed
Tollgate Housing Parcel Subdistrict is 22 dwelling units per acre (110 units on 5 acres), with a
commitment to provide 22.7% of units as income restricted.

The petitioner requests to convert the existing 104 hotel units into 110 multi-family dwelling units,
of which 25 of the units (22.7%) will be “set aside” as income restricted for a period of 30 years
from the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy of the first set aside unit as follows:
• 12 units (10.9%) for households earning up to and including 80% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) for Collier County
• 13 units (11.8%) for households earning up to and including 100% of the AMI
Staff recommends that the petitioner increase the commitment from 22.7% to at least 30% of
the residential units to be set aside as affordable, consistent with previous Board of County
Commissioner policy. The 30% requirement would result in an additional eight (8) affordable
set-aside units (4 at 80%AMI + 4 at 100%AMI).
The petitioner proposes that the set aside units will be held vacant and advertised for a minimum
period to give preference to employees of Moorings, Incorporated, and affiliates, or other health
care providers, teachers, first responders, hospitality workers, and government employees as
outlined in Section III, “Commercial Areas Plan,” of Exhibit A included with the Draft PUD
Ordinance, provided as Attachment A to this staff report.
Remaining units will be rent restricted at rents that are affordable for households whose incomes
are up to and including 120% of the AMI for Collier County, which corresponds to a monthly rent
of $2,193 for an efficiency or studio apartment.
The petitioner proposes a minimum unit size of 250 square feet for two occupants and commits
that no more than two individuals shall be allowed to reside/occupy in a unit at any given time as
outlined in Section III, “Commercial Areas Plan,” of Exhibit A included with the Draft PUD
Ordinance, provided as Attachment A to this staff report. The Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) approved Ordinance No. 2023-65 on December 12, 2023, amending the Collier County
Property Maintenance Code minimum square footage requirements that each dwelling shall
contain at least 250 square feet of habitable floor space for the first occupant and at least 200
additional habitable square feet per additional occupant. The BCC may now approve a reduction
of the minimum square footage requirements through a rezoning for projects that convert an
existing building to a multi-family use and include affordable housing units with a minimum of 20
percent of the unit’s income-restricted, provided the habitable floor area is not less than 250 square
feet for two occupants. The proposed minimum unit size conforms to the criteria adopted in
December 2023.
To evaluate compatibility, the existing and permitted uses in immediate proximity to the proposed
residential use must be considered. The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD was approved for
commercial, business, and industrial uses. The subject site is surrounded by a hotel to the west, I-
75 to the north, and heavy commercial uses of self-storage and Amazon parking to the south and
east. The nearest residential development, Forest Glen of Naples PUD, is more than one-half mile
away, south of Beck Boulevard.
A hotel/motel conversion to residential housing has been approved for the 153-room Quality Inn
and Suites within the Golden Gate Golf Course MPUD (PUDA-PL20230012392). That conversion
was found to be compatible with the nearby residential development pattern of Golden Gate City,
which is in convenient proximity to workplaces, community facilities, schools, goods, and
services.

To address compatibility of the proposed Super 8 Motel conversion, staff analyzed the extent to
which buffering and screening are proposed to control for adverse impacts of surrounding more
intense uses on the proposed residential use. Buffer requirements of LDC Section 4.06.02 apply
to all new development. Existing landscaping which does not comply with the provisions of this
section shall be brought into conformity to the maximum extent possible when: the vehicular use
area is altered or expanded (except for restriping of lots/drives), the building square footage is
changed, or there has been a discontinuance of use for a period of one year or more and a request
for an occupational license to resume business is made. In May 2023, the petitioner indicated
during the Pre-Application meeting for this PUD Amendment that the use of the motel as dwellings
had begun, with some tenants being workers of local businesses and some tenants being individuals
displaced by Hurricane Ian.
Per Code Enforcement Case #CESD20230006969, it was observed that hotel units were being
used for dwellings (apartments) as of August 8, 2023. Subsequently, five Code Enforcement cases
were opened between September 2023 and December 2023 related to building conditions and work
without permits. Two remain open, as described below:
A pending Building Permit (PRCS20240521731) and Site Development Plan Insubstantial Change
(SDPI-PL20240004805) are in the process of remodeling the building into residential units.
Because the Super 8 Motel has been discontinued for at least one year, and the change to residential
use is in process, the 15-foot-wide Type B buffer requirement applies where a multifamily use
borders a commercial use, and existing landscaping which does not comply with the provisions of
this section shall be brought into conformity to the maximum extent possible per the LDC. The
existing buffers do not meet the 15-foot-wide Type B buffer standards, and the petitioner is not
proposing to enhance existing buffers to achieve the equivalent effect of this LDC provision. The
petitioner requests a deviation to allow 5-foot-wide Type A buffers on the north, south, and west
sides of the site in lieu of the required 15-foot-wide Type B buffers and for the 15-foot-wide Type

B buffer required on the east side of Parcel 11 to be located outside the FPL easement in closer
proximity to the building. For additional information on the requested deviations, see page 16 of
this report.
LDC Section 5.03.02.H. contemplates that a wall should be placed between residential and
nonresidential development; specifically, a 6-foot to 8-foot-tall masonry wall, concrete or
prefabricated concrete wall, and/or fence is required on the nonresidential property for protection
of contiguous residences. Given the circumstances of this proposed conversion to residential use
within a commercial/industrial development, the placement of a wall on surrounding
nonresidential properties would not apply to those surrounding property owners. The petitioner is
not proposing any type of wall or barrier on the subject site to achieve the equivalent effect of this
LDC provision.
Adding a residential component to the commercial/industrial PUD warrants adding protections for
residents from any potential adverse impacts caused by the higher intensity surrounding uses. To
ensure better compatibility between the proposed residential and surrounding higher intensity uses,
staff’s recommendation includes a condition to bring the existing landscape buffers into
conformity with the required buffering for residential uses adjacent to commercial uses and the
interstate to the maximum extent possible.
PUD FINDINGS:
LDC Section 10.02.13.B.5 states that “In support of its recommendation, the CCPC shall make
findings as to the PUD Master Plan’s compliance with the following criteria in addition to the
findings in LDC Section 10.02.08”:
1. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in
relation to physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access,
drainage, sewer, water, and other utilities.
The site has already been developed with Super 8 Motel. Conversion of the motel building
for use as rental housing units will offer an infill housing project in an area proximate to
employment. The repurposing of the site for residences may be appropriate and suitable
for the area if compatibility is addressed by bringing the existing landscape buffers into
conformity with the required buffering for residential uses adjacent to commercial uses and
the interstate to the maximum extent possible.
The TIS for this request indicates that the proposed change from motel to residential use
will result in a potential reduction of traffic impacts to the surrounding area. Renovation of
the existing hotel will create no external impacts as renovation will occur largely within
the existing structure. The site is located within the Collier County Water-Sewer District’s
service area and is currently served by water and sewer via existing facilities.
2. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements,
contracts, or other instruments, or for amendments in those proposed, particularly
as they may relate to arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing
operation and maintenance of such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or
maintained at public expense.

August 22, 2024
Documents submitted with the application, which were reviewed by the County Attorney’s
Office, demonstrate unified control of the property.
3. Conformity of the proposed Planned Unit Development with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Growth Management Plan (GMP).
Staff has reviewed this petition and has offered an analysis of conformity with the relevant
goals, objectives, and policies of the GMP within the GMP Consistency section of this staff
report on page 5. The proposed density is not supported by the GMP. This PUD petition
may only be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth
Management Plan if the companion GMPA (PL20230007876) is approved and goes into
effect and the uses and intensities in this PUD align with those in the GMPA.
4. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may
include restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering
and screening requirements.
The subject property is located in the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD which is approved
for commercial and light industrial uses. The Future Land Use Designation is Urban
Commercial District, Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict which allows for a mix of
land uses while specifically allowing industrial uses in this southeast quadrant of I-75 and
Collier Boulevard. The actual mix of uses is determined during the rezoning process based
on consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed-Use Activity Center
Subdistrict.
The petitioner seeks to convert the motel to allow for 110 multi-family residential units in
an area that consists primarily of commercial and industrial uses. The PUD is required to
contain specific language to ensure compatibility between industrial land uses and other
land uses allowed in the Interchange Activity Centers. To address compatibility between
the proposed residential and surrounding higher intensity uses, staff recommends a
condition that the existing landscape buffers be brought into conformity with the
required buffering for residential uses adjacent to commercial uses and the interstate to
the maximum extent possible.
5. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the
development.
The PUD Amendment request does not include any changes to the previously approved
open space requirements. The petitioner indicates that the PUD currently provides 17.84
acres (17.8% of the gross PUD acreage) designated for preserve and water management
areas as well as other useable open space in the form of required yards, landscaped areas,
and recreation areas, which exceeds the requirement for 30% of the gross acreage within
PUD districts containing commercial, industrial and mixed use including residential per
LDC Section 4.07.02 G.2. No deviation from the required usable open space is being
requested.

6. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of ensuring the adequacy of
available improvements and facilities, both public and private.
The roadway infrastructure will continue to be sufficient to serve the proposed project, as
noted in the Transportation Element consistency review. Operational impacts will be
addressed at time of each development order, at which time a new TIS will be required to
demonstrate turning movements for all site access points. The project’s development must
comply with all other applicable concurrency management regulations when development
approvals, including but not limited to any plats and or site development plans, are sought.
Collier County has sufficient treatment capacity for water and wastewater services to the
project. Conveyance capacity must be confirmed at the time of development permit
application. Impact fees are imposed to account for public facility impacts and these will
be required at time of development permitting.
7. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate
expansion.
The area has adequate supporting infrastructure to accommodate this project. The PUD
boundary is not proposed to be modified and cannot be expanded due to existing
development and public roadways bounding the PUD. All proposed changes are limited
to Parcel 11 within the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD, part of which is encumbered by
an FPL easement which further constrains the ability for expanding development area.
8. Conformity with PUD regulations, or as to desirable modifications of such regulations
in the particular case, based on determination that such modifications are justified as
meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such
regulations.
The petitioner requests two deviations from the LDC. See the section of the staff report
beginning on page 16 for evaluation of the deviation requests.
Rezone Findings:
LDC Subsection 10.02.08.F states, “When pertaining to the rezoning of land, the report and
recommendations to the planning commission to the Board of County Commissioners…shall show
that the planning commission has studied and considered proposed change in relation to the
following when applicable”:
1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the Future Land Use Map and the elements of the GMP.
Staff has reviewed this petition and has offered an analysis of conformity with the relevant
goals, objectives, and policies of the GMP within the GMP Consistency section of this staff
report on page 5. The proposed density is not supported by the GMP. This PUD petition
may only be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth
Management Plan if the companion GMPA (PL20230007876) is approved and goes into
effect and the uses and intensities in this PUD align with those in the GMPA.

2. The existing land use pattern.
The existing land use pattern of the abutting properties is described in the Surrounding
Land Use and Zoning section of this report. The proposed Tollgate Commercial Center
PUDA is located in a quadrant of the I-75 interchange in an urbanized portion of the
County. The pattern is primarily commercial and industrial. The Collier Boulevard/
Interstate 75 Innovation Zone Overlay (CBIIZO) applies to the site; this overlay was
established to attract and retain qualified targeted industry business as defined by Florida
Statutes §288.106.
The proposed addition of residential uses and densities is not supported by the Growth
Management Plan. As such, this PUDA may only be deemed consistent with the Future
Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan if the companion GMPA
(PL20230007876) is approved and goes into effect and the uses and intensities in this PUD
align with those in the GMPA.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts.
The property is currently zoned PUD and would remain as such.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing
conditions on the property proposed for change.
The existing district boundaries are logically drawn. This petition does not propose any
change to the boundaries of the PUD.
5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed rezoning
necessary.
The proposed change is not necessary but is being requested in compliance with the LDC
provisions to seek such changes. The petitioner believes the PUDA is necessary to
accommodate the proposed uses and densities to meet a demand in the surrounding
community.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed change is not likely to adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood as surrounding uses are primarily heavy commercial and light industrial in
character; however, due to the introduction of residential use on Parcel 11, additional
buffering should be implemented to ensure compatibility for those living on the subject
property in relation to the surrounding more intense uses.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or
create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because of
peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during
construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety.
The roadway infrastructure will continue to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed
project at this time, i.e., GMP consistent at the time of rezoning as evaluated as part of the

GMP Transportation Element consistency review. Operational impacts will be addressed
at time of each development order. Additionally, the development must comply with all
other applicable concurrency management regulations when development approvals are
sought.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The PUD Amendment request is not anticipated to create adverse drainage impacts in the
area; provided stormwater best management practices, treatment, and storage on this
project are addressed through Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) with the South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). County staff will evaluate the project’s
stormwater management system, calculations, and design criteria at the time of
development order permitting.
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
It is not anticipated the changes requested in this PUD Amendment would seriously reduce
light or air to the adjacent areas.
10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent
areas.
This is a subjective determination based upon anticipated results, which may be internal or
external to the subject property. Property valuation is affected by a host of factors including
zoning; however, zoning by itself may or may not affect values, since value determination
is driven by market value.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development
of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
The County growth management policies allow for and encourage mix of uses at Activity
Centers. It is not anticipated that the proposed change to allow for 110 multi-family
dwelling units, which will displace the previously approved and more intense land use
including 104 hotel/motel units on Parcel 11, would be a deterrent to development or
improvement of commercial uses allowable on adjacent property.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual owner as contrasting with the public welfare.
If the proposed development is found to comply with the GMP through approval of the
proposed companion amendment (GMPA-PL20230007876), then that constitutes a public
policy statement supporting the zoning action as being consistent with GMP policy. In light
of this fact, the proposed change does not constitute a grant of special privilege if it is found
by a policy decision through the public decision-making process to be to be in the public
interest.

13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance
with existing zoning.
The subject property can be used in accordance with existing zoning; however, the
proposed use and densities cannot be achieved without amending the PUD, the GMP, and
the DRI Development Order.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or
the County.
The County has a recognized need for housing that is affordable, thus approval of a higher
density residential project at this location may help the County achieve that objective.
Approval of the companion GMP Amendment petition (PL20230007876) to create a new
subdistrict within the Urban Commercial District, Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict
called Tollgate Housing Parcel is necessary to develop the project at the desired density.
15. Whether is it impossible to find other adequate sites in the County for the proposed
use in districts already permitting such use.
The petition was reviewed based on the materials submitted and information gathered that
relate to the subject site, and staff does not review other sites in conjunction with a specific
petition.
16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration, which
would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses
under the proposed zoning classification.
A pending Building Permit (PRCS20240521731) and Site Development Plan Insubstantial
Change (SDPI-PL20240004805) are in process for remodeling of the building into
residential units.
For a more compatible outcome of the conversion from commercial to residential use, staff
recommends bringing the existing landscape buffers into conformity with the required
buffering for residential uses adjacent to commercial uses and the interstate to the
maximum extent possible.
17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and
services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County Growth
Management Plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, as amended.
Public facility capacities have been reviewed as part of this application process. The
activity proposed by this amendment will have no adverse impact on public facility
adequacy.
18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the Board of County Commissioners
shall deem important in the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.
To be determined by the Board during its advertised public hearing.

DEVIATION DISCUSSION:
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD was approved via Ordinance 92-10, and amended most
recently by Ordinance 2017-15, with no deviations approved to date. The petitioner is proposing
two deviations. The deviations are directly extracted from the draft PUD Ordinance, Section VI,
and apply only to Parcel 11 of the Master Plan. The petitioner’s justification and staff
analysis/recommendation are listed below.
Deviation # 1: (Landscape Buffers)
Relief from LDC Section 4.06.02 A, which requires Type B landscape buffers between separate
residential and commercial development, to instead allow for 5-foot “Type A” landscape buffers
on the north, south and west side of Parcel 11 and for a 15-foot Type B buffer on the east side of
Parcel 11 to be located outside of the FPL easement in the median area on the east side of the
building in Parcel 11.
This deviation applies to the reuse of the existing building on Parcel 11 only and does not apply if
the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished or if the existing adjacent parking lot is
redeveloped with a new use.
Petitioner’s Justification:
The Applicant is requesting this buffer deviation applicable to Parcel 11 for the reuse of the
hotel for affordable multifamily dwellings. The subject property is currently developed as a
Super 8 Motel and 5-foot Type A buffers were required for commercial uses in the PUD.
This deviation proposes to maintain the buffer standards that were in place for the north,
south and east property boundaries when the motel was developed, and which now include
mature vegetation.
Additionally, the easternmost portion of the property is encumbered by an FPL easement
and mature vegetation exists within the median area on the east side of the building. The
deviation would also require additional planting in this area to satisfy the requirements for
a 15-foot Type B buffer.
Adjacent properties to the south and east of the property include low intensity storage and
parking uses. This deviation reflects the fact that the parcel will not change and differs from
traditional multi-family housing which includes yards, common green space, or lanais and
balconies which interface directly with external surrounding uses with higher levels of
commercial traffic. Approval of the deviation provides significant cost savings to delivering
bonafide affordable housing to the market.
LDC section 4.06.02.A notes that existing landscaping shall be brought into conformity to
the maximum extent possible when the vehicular use areas is altered or expanded, the
building square footage is changed, or a use is discontinued for one year. The transition of
the property to allow for multi-family uses will not require alteration or expansion of the
vehicular use area, or any change to the building square footage, and there has not been a
discontinuance of use. In addition to maintaining the intent of the Landscape Code, this
deviation maximizes the use and benefit of existing mature landscaping on site and
facilitates the rapid conversion of units to permanent multifamily dwelling units.
For these reasons, the requested deviation will not have a detrimental effect on the public

health, safety or welfare.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation:
In May 2023, the petitioner indicated during the Pre-Application meeting for this PUD
Amendment that use of the motel as dwellings had begun with some tenants being workers of local
businesses and some tenants being individuals displaced by Hurricane Ian. Therefore, staff finds
that there has been a discontinuance of the Super 8 Motel use for a period of one year or more and
a request for a change of use has been made. Under these circumstances, the existing landscaping
shall be brought into conformity to the maximum extent possible per LDC Section 4.06.02.A.
The proposed deviation to allow for 5-foot “Type A” landscape buffers on the north, south and
west side of Parcel 11 is not “justified as meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent
to literal application of such regulations” as required by LDC section 10.02.13.B.5.h.
Below is a view of the north property line abutting the I-75 on-ramp, which does not currently
provide the concentration of trees and shrubs typically required for parking lots, let alone
residences.
The landscape buffer standards that apply to properties developing in accordance with CBIIZO
standards should also be applied to this property to the greatest extent possible. This accomplishes
the intent of the LDC to maintain a consistent appearance at the I-75 interchange (Activity Center
#9) that serves as a gateway to Collier County, and it accomplishes the intent of the LDC to provide
higher degrees of buffering and screening for residential development abutting more intense uses,
such as an Interstate highway.
To bring the existing landscaping into conformity with the required buffering for residential
uses adjacent to commercial uses and the interstate to the maximum extent possible, staff
recommends DEVIATION #1 BE MODIFIED as follows:
(PROPOSED MODIFIED) Deviation # 1: (Landscape Buffers) seeks relief from LDC Section

PUDA-PL20230007874 Tollgate Commercial Center Page 18 of 20
August 22, 2024
4.06.02 A, which requires landscape buffers between residential and commercial development, to
instead allow the following:
a. The eastern buffer may be accomplished by providing the vegetation required for a Type
B buffer in the “median” area shown on Exhibit E-1 provided that the land encumbered
by the FPL easement remains undeveloped and not used for parking. In the alternative,
a minimum 10-foot wide Type B buffer shall be provided along the eastern boundary
line of Parcel 11 contingent upon agreement from FPL.
This applies to the reuse of the existing building on Parcel 11 only and does not
apply if the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished or if the existing parking
lot located in the FPL easement is redeveloped with a new use.
b. Vegetation required for a Type B buffer shall be provided where Parcel 11 is adjacent
to the Eastern and Southern boundary of the commercial parcel to the West (Comfort
Inn).
c. In addition to the requirements of Section 4.06.00, adjacent to the 1-75 right of way line,
the Type D buffer shall be enhanced as follows:
1. The required number of trees for a Type D buffer shall be supplemented by an
additional palm or canopy tree planting in the amount of 25%; and
2. All required trees shall be a minimum of 12 feet in height at installation.
Deviation # 2: (Parking Space Requirements)
Relief from LDC Section 4.05.04 G, which requires one parking space per multi-family dwelling
unit plus 0.5 spaces per each efficiency unit as well as additional parking for recreational facilities
and other common uses identified in LDC Section 4.05.04 G Table 17, to allow for a total of 165
parking spaces to satisfy the parking requirement within Parcel 11. This deviation does not apply
if the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished.
Petitioner’s Justification:
The Applicant is requesting this parking deviation for the reuse of the existing building on
Parcel 11. The current hotel use will transition to a multi-family building with limited site
work. This deviation will allow for the existing parking spaces to continue to serve the
residents on the property.
All recreation facilities serving the residents are integrated with the development and not
intended to serve the general public. Additionally, all residences are within 300 feet of the
recreation facilities and located in the same building. As a result, no additional parking
spaces will be needed for residents to utilize the recreation facilities.
This deviation is only proposed to apply to the reuse of the existing building. If the existing
building is demolished for redevelopment of the site, the parking space requirements in
effect at that time would apply.
For these reasons, the requested deviation will not have a detrimental effect on the public
health, safety or welfare.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation:
The requested deviation will provide the required 1.5 parking spaces per unit (1.5 spaces per unit

August 22, 2024
x 110 units = 165 parking spaces required). Because the recreational facilities and other common
uses are small-scale and not likely to generate additional traffic or require residents to travel by
car to access, the deviation to allow relief from the additional parking requirement for recreational
facilities and other common uses identified in LDC Section 4.05.04 G Table 17, to instead require
no additional parking for recreational facilities and other common uses accessory to multi -family
dwellings within Parcel 11.
Staff recommends APPROVAL, finding that the deviation can be approved “without detrimental
effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the community” in compliance with LDC Section
10.02.13.A.3, and the deviation is “justified as meeting public purposes to a degree at least
equivalent to literal application of such regulations” per LDC Section 10.02.13.B.5.h.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM):
The applicant conducted a NIM on June 26, 2024, at Sheperd of the Glades Church, Hanson Hall,
6020 Rattlesnake Hammock Road, Naples, FL 34113. The meeting was not attended by any
members of the public. See Attachment D for the NIM documentation.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION:
This project does not require an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project
did not meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193
of the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances.
COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW:
The County Attorney’s Office reviewed this staff report on August 26, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward this petition to
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a recommendation of approval of the PUDA,
subject to the approval of the companion GMPA (PL20230007876) with an effective date linked
to the effective date of the companion GMPA, and subject to the following conditions:
1. Increase the commitment from 22.7% to at least 30% of the residential units to be set aside
as affordable, consistent with previous Board of County Commissioner policy. The 30%
requirement would result in an additional eight (8) affordable set-aside units (4 at 80%AMI
+ 4 at 100%AMI).
2. Modify the language and conditions of Deviation 1 to read as follows to bring the existing
landscaping into conformity with the required buffering for residential uses adjacent to
commercial uses and the interstate:
Deviation # 1: (Landscape Buffers) seeks relief from LDC Section 4.06.02 A, which
requires landscape buffers between residential and commercial development, to instead
allow the following:
a. The eastern buffer may be accomplished by providing the vegetation required for a Type
B buffer in the “median” area shown on Exhibit E-1 provided that the land encumbered
by the FPL easement remains undeveloped and not used for parking. In the alternative,
a minimum 10-foot wide Type B buffer shall be provided along the eastern boundary
line of Parcel 11 contingent upon agreement from FPL.

This applies to the reuse of the existing building on Parcel 11 only and does not
apply if the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished or if the existing parking
lot located in the FPL easement is redeveloped with a new use.
b. Vegetation required for a Type B buffer shall be provided where Parcel 11 is adjacent
to the Eastern and Southern boundary of the commercial parcel to the West (Comfort
Inn).
c. In addition to the requirements of Section 4.06.00, adjacent to the 1-75 right of way line,
the Type D buffer shall be enhanced as follows:
1. The required number of trees for a Type D buffer shall be supplemented by an
additional palm or canopy tree planting in the amount of 25%; and

goods and service to the traveling public on 1-75 and to the citizens of the area which can
be served via the access road systems.
A major function of these parcels is to serve as a focal point for the arrival of goods from
other points of the region and country and then be processed for distribution to the local
trade market.
It is intended that inside storage and warehousing along with limited assembly and
manufacturing wholly within a building and not obnoxious by reason of emission of odor,
fumes, dust, smoke, noise or vibration be permitted.
Further, it is the intent of this document that “B” designated Parcels be used in accordance
with all of the current Federal, State and County regulations in effect at the time final local
development orders are issued except as specified otherwise in this document or as may be
approved otherwise by the Collier County Board of Commissioners.

RE: PL20220003892 - Tollgate Commercial Center PUD/DRI
PUD Amendment (PUDA)
Dear Mr. Bellows,
Enclosed for your review is an application for a PUD amendment regarding the Super 8 Hotel, a
5+/- acre project located on the east side of Collier Boulevard (C.R. 951), north of Beck Boulevard
with direct access to Tollgate Boulevard in unincorporated Collier County, Florida.
Background and Proposed Development
In 1992, the Property was rezoned from PUD to the “Tollgate Commercial Center PUD,” allowing
for commercial and light industrial uses on approximately 100+/- acres in three phases. Since that
time, the PUD has been amended several times, most recently by Ordinance 2017-15. The
subject property is located in Interchange Activity Center #9 in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan for Collier County. The Interchange Activity Center
includes a concentration of commercial, industrial, residential, and mixed-use developments. The
5-acre subject property operated as a 104-room hotel until it was purchased by the Applicant in
2022.
The Applicant is requesting an amendment to the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD to facilitate
the reuse of the existing Super 8 Hotel into a multifamily development to allow for permanent
residences within the existing building. The change will modify the schedule of uses to allow 110
multifamily residential dwellings on Parcel 11 only. Two deviations from landscaping and parking
requirements are proposed to provide flexibility in the reuse of the property and to address existing
conditions and constraints on the property. No other changes to the approved commercial uses,
development standards or other development tracts within the PUD are included in this request.
The proposed amendment is limited to adding residential uses and two deviations to the PUD.
Prior to this request, the Applicant purchased the property only eight days before Hurricane Ian
devastated the County in September of 2022. Despite the Applicant’s original business plan to
re-open the hotel a couple of months later in November of 2022, given the devastation caused by
the hurricane, the Applicant spurred into action and spent significant resources to immediately
make temporary living spaces for Collier residents who were displaced by Hurricane Ian and to
first responders – these groups included Naples Community Hospital staff, and other essential
workers from Moorings Park employees and local small business workers, hospitality workers
and disaster recovery construction workers. Since that time, the Applicant has continued to work
with prominent local employers to provide temporary housing to their employees. The need for

this housing has been tested through this temporary housing arrangement, which has remained
at, or nearly, 100% occupied. Transitioning to permanent multifamily dwellings will further improve
and formalize a housing opportunity that has already proven successful and demonstrates a long-
term commitment to Collier County’s future.
The Applicant’s housing model has been coordinated through lease agreements with local
employers, who are then able to provide housing directly to their employees. As a conversion
from hotel units, each dwelling unit will be limited to a minimum of 250 square feet and each unit
is limited to two occupants. Furthermore, elements of the Applicant’s housing model, such as,
reusing the existing building, limiting the sizes of the units, coordinating leases directly with
employers, and providing all rooms fully furnished, all help to make rental prices attainable for
employees. Additionally, the proposed GMP amendment and Rezone include commitments to
provide affordable housing through income and rent limits.
The Applicant’s housing model has been tested at the subject property and throughout the
country. The Applicant’s housing model has also been utilized successfully in Steamboat Springs,
Colorado, where the Applicant similarly invested significant resources to convert 104 temporary
rooms at the Steamboat Hotel and Steamboat Mountain Lodge to permanent workforce
multifamily dwellings for local employers and its employees. Additionally, The Urban Land Institute
has reported in 2022, that this housing model is at the forefront of the attempt to address
multifamily housing shortages across the nation (See https://urbanland.uli.org/planning-
design/hotel-to-housing-conversions-proliferate/). The transition from hotel to multifamily units
represents an innovative, but tested, approach to providing housing that also adds to Collier
County’s housing diversity.
The proposed amendment will allow for the reuse of the existing hotel and transition the project
to a 110-unit multifamily development which will allow for residents to become permanent rather
than temporary, and allowing for the rapid absorption of a much-needed workforce housing
solution into the market.

Deviations
The Applicant is seeking to add two deviations to the PUD Ordinance from the following LDC
Sections:
• 4.06.01.G Landscaping. The deviation allows for buffer requirements to be satisfied by
existing landscaping along the north, south, and west boundaries and to add additional
plantings within the vehicular use area along the east boundary to equate to a Type “B”
Buffer, in support of the reuse of the property.
• 4.05.04 G Parking Space Requirements. This deviation allows for a reduction in parking
requirements for recreation facilities and other common uses.
The attached Schedule of Deviations and Justification Narrative provides additional details
regarding the deviation request.
Review Criteria
Please refer to the enclosed Evaluation Criteria exhibit for further details regarding the criteria in
LDC section 10.02.13 B.5 and consistency with relevant policies in the GMP.
Conclusion
In summary, the proposed PUD amendment will facilitate the adaptive reuse of the Super 8 Hotel
property for new affordable multifamily housing. Multifamily dwelling units are limited to 110 units
which is consistent with the companion GMP amendment request, and the proposed deviations
and Master Plan changes will allow for enhanced design flexibility that will not negatively impact
public health, safety or welfare.
The addition of residential uses to the PUD is consistent with the goal of Interchange Activity
Centers to allow a mix of commercial, residential, and industrial uses at important gateways to
the County. Moreover, the project will provide much needed affordable workforce housing and
add to the supply of housing proximate to employment uses. In this way, the project addresses
several goals established in the Collier County Community Housing Plan, such as reducing the
percentage of households who are cost burdened and reducing the “Jobs-Housing Imbalance.”
As outlined in the PUD Amendment application and attached exhibits, the proposed amendment
is consistent with the LDC and GMP and supports several important community goals.

Types of Reviews:
School Impact Analysis:
This review should be divided into two categories:
-School Capacity Review (land use and rezonings), and;
-Concurrency Determinations (site plans and subdivisions).
School Capacity Review is the review of a project in the land use and rezoning stage of development. It is a
review of the impact of the development on school capacity and is considered long range planning. This may
be a review resulting in mitigation being required. In situations where the applicant may be required to
mitigate, capacity may be reserved dependent on the type of mitigation.
Concurrency Determination is the review of residential site plans and subdivisions to determine whether
there is available capacity. When capacity is determined to be available a School Capacity Determination
Letter (SCADL) will be issued verifying available capacity to the applicant and the local government. If a
project exceeds the adopted level of service standards, the applicant is afforded the option of a negotiation
period that may or may not result in an executed/recorded mitigation agreement Mitigation at this stage is
expressed as a Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement. For those residential developments that may have
an impact but are otherwise exempt from concurrency, an exemption letter will be prepared for the applicant
upon request. For those residential developments that are determined to not have an impact, a letter of no
impact will be prepared for the applicant upon request.
Exemption Letter:
An applicant may request an Exemption Letter as documentation for the local government. These are projects
that would be exempt from school concurrency review or projects that do not impact the public schools.
Exemptions from school concurrency are limited to existing single family or mobile home lots of record;
amendments to previously approved site plans or plats that do not increase the number of dwelling units or
change the dwelling unit type; age restricted communities with no permanent residents under the age of 18; or
residential site plans or plats or amendments to site plans or plats that generate less than one student; or are
authorized as a Development of Regional Impact (Chapter 380, F.S.) as of July 1, 2005.
Concurrency Determination Amendment:
An applicant may request an amendment to a previously issued School Concurrency Determination or to an
application being processed. This review may require additional staff time beyond the initial concurrency
determination review and results in a modified determination being issued. An amendment could result in a
negotiation period and/or a mitigation agreement being issued or a previously approved determination being
modified and reissued.

DEVIATION #1 seeks relief from LDC Section 4.06.02.A, which requires 15-foot Type B
landscape buffers to separate residential and commercial development, to allow for 5-foot
Type “A” buffers on the north, south and west side of Parcel 11; AND for a 15-foot Type “B”
buffer on the east side of Parcel 11 to be located outside of the FPL easement in the median
area on the east side of the building in Parcel 11.
This deviation applies to the reuse of the existing building on Parcel 11 only and does not
apply if the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished or if the existing adjacent parking lot
is redeveloped with a new use.
JUSTIFICATION: The Applicant is requesting this buffer deviation applicable to Parcel 11 for
the reuse of the hotel for affordable multifamily dwellings. The subject property is currently
developed as a Super 8 Motel and 5-foot Type A buffers were required for commercial uses
in the PUD. This deviation proposes to maintain the buffer standards that were in place for
the north, south and east property boundaries when the motel was developed, and which
now include mature vegetation.
Additionally, the easternmost portion of the property is encumbered by an FPL easement and
mature vegetation exists within the median area on the east side of the building. The deviation
would also require additional planting in this area to satisfy the requirements for a 15-foot
Type B buffer.
Adjacent properties to the south and east of the property include low intensity storage and
parking uses. This deviation reflects the fact that the parcel will not change and differs from
traditional multi-family housing which includes yards, common green space, or lanais and
balconies which interface directly with external surrounding uses with higher levels of
commercial traffic. Approval of the deviation provides significant cost savings to delivering
bonafide affordable housing to the market.
LDC section 4.06.02.A notes that existing landscaping shall be brought into conformity to the
maximum extent possible when the vehicular use areas is altered or expanded, the building
square footage is changed, or a use is discontinued for one year. The tr ansition of the
property to allow for multi-family uses will not require alteration or expansion of the vehicular
use area, or any change to the building square footage, and there has not been a
discontinuance of use. In addition to maintaining the intent of the Landscape Code, this
deviation maximizes the use and benefit of existing mature landscaping on site and facilitates
the rapid conversion of units to permanent multifamily dwelling units.
For these reasons, the requested deviation will not have a detrimental effect on the public
health, safety or welfare.

DEVIATION #2 seeks relief from LDC section 4.05.04 G, which requires 1 parking space per
multi-family dwelling unit plus 0.5 spaces per each efficiency unit as well as additional
parking for recreational facilities and other common uses identified in LDC section 4.05.04 G
Table 17, to allow for a total of 165 parking spaces to satisfy the parking requirement within
Parcel 11. This deviation does not apply if the existing building on Parcel 11 is demolished.
JUSTIFICATION: The Applicant is requesting this parking deviation for the reuse of the
existing building on Parcel 11. The current hotel use will transition to a multi-family building
with limited site work. This deviation will allow for the existing parking spaces to continue to
serve the residents on the property.
All recreation facilities serving the residents are integrated with the development and not
intended to serve the general public. Additionally, all residences are within 300 feet of the
recreation facilities and located in the same building. As a result, no additional parking spaces
will be needed for residents to utilize the recreation facilities.
This deviation is only proposed to apply to the reuse of the existing building. If the existing
building is demolished for redevelopment of the site, the parking space requirements in effect
at that time would apply.
For these reasons, the requested deviation will not have a detrimental effect on the public
health, safety or welfare.

TOLLGATE HOUSING PUDA
Evaluation Criteria
LDC section 10.02.13 B.5 requires the Planning Commission hearing and recommendation to be
based on the following criteria:
a. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in relation to
physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access, drainage,
sewer, water, and other utilities.
The subject property is located within the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD, established by
Ordinance 92-10 and which has been amended several times by Ordinances 93-91, 2015-49,
and 2017-15. The Property is located in an area of existing and planned urban development
within the County’s Urban-designated area and within the Interchange Activity Center future land
use category.
Section C.2 of the Future Land Use Element anticipates a mix of uses within Interchange Activity
Centers, stating, “mixed-use developments‒whether consisting of residential units located above
commercial uses, in an attached building, or in a freestanding building‒are allowed and
encouraged within Interchange Activity Centers.”
The subject property is located in an urbanized portion of the County as evidenced by the
property’s proximity to Collier Boulevard, a six-lane arterial roadway. The Property is also
proximate to existing and approved urban levels of development, as well as major public facilities
including schools, hospitals, and libraries.
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD is located south of Interstate 75, east of Collier Blvd. and
north of Beck Blvd. To the north of the subject property is the Interstate 75, a parking lot to the
east, self-storage to the south and a hotel to the west. The subject property will be accessed by
Tollgate Blvd. via Beck Blvd. and Collier Blvd., a County Maintained arterial road.
The surrounding PUD approvals demonstrate the appropriateness of this request to provide an
infill housing project in an area proximate to employment uses and existing and planned
development at similar densities.
The Property is located within the Collier County Water-Sewer District’s (CCWSD) service area
and water and wastewater service are readily available via existing facilities. A utility statement
of availability is enclosed as part of this application.
Based upon the nature of the surrounding uses, the established development pattern along
Collier Blvd., and the existing levels of public infrastructure available, the Property is suitable for
the development of a residential community as proposed by this application.
b. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of agreements, contract, or other
instruments, or for amendments in those proposed, particularly as they may relate to
arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing operation and maintenance of
such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or maintained at public expense.
Findings and recommendations of this type shall be made only after consultation with the
County Attorney.

The subject property is under unified control by K2 Housing Naples LLC, Inc, who has filed this
application, as demonstrated by the Covenant of Unified Control included in the PUDA
application.
c. Conformity of the proposed PUD with the goals, objectives, policies, and the Future Land
Use Element of the Growth Management Plan.
The proposed changes maintain the project’s consistency with the Collier County Growth
Management Plan. More specifically, the following policies in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE)
FLUE Policy 5.5: “Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost
of community facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban
on the Future Land Use Map; requiring that any additions to the Urban Designated Areas be
contiguous to an existing Urban Area boundary; and, encouraging the use of creative land use
planning techniques and innovative approaches to development in the County’s
Agricultural/Rural designated area, which will better serve to protect environmentally sensitive
areas, maintain the economic viability of agriculture and other predominantly rural land uses, and
provide for cost efficient delivery of public facilities and services.”
The proposed development will reuse an existing building within the urban area rather than
relocating to undeveloped, non-urban areas of the Future Land Use Map. As a reuse project,
the request establishes a creative land use planning technique and an innovative approach
to development that will increase the diversity of housing types in Collier County. Although
the request does not create an innovative approach to development within the
Agricultural/Rural designated area, the reuse of existing urban areas in new and creative also
has the effect of reducing development pressures in more rural areas of the County, thereby
supporting this policy.
FLUE Policy 5.6: “New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the
surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted
June 22, 2004, and effective October 18, 2004, as amended).”
The proposed change maintains compatibility with the surrounding land uses by reusing a
building previously used for temporary lodging. Transitioning the property from a hotel to
multifamily dwellings will reduce traffic impacts associated with the PUD. The proposed
change is complementary to surrounding land uses as it provides affordable workforce
housing in proximity to goods, services, and employment areas.
FLUE Policy 5.7: “Encourage the use of land presently designated for urban intensity uses before
designating other areas for urban intensity uses. This shall occur by planning for the expansion
of County owned and operated public facilities and services to existing lands designated for
urban intensity uses, the Rural Settlement District (formerly known as North Golden Gate), and
the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, before servicing new areas.”
The request supports this policy by reusing existing urban areas rather than locating the
development in undeveloped areas. The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD is currently
served by existing public facilities and services and the request does not require extension
of urban services to new areas.

FLUE Policy 7.1: “The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their
properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made
without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code.”
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD/DRI includes established connection points to Beck
Blvd. and the proposed change will maintain those connections. The subject property will be
accessed by Beck Blvd. via Tollgate Blvd. and there are no additional connections proposed.
FLUE Policy 7.2: “The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help
reduce vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic
signals.”
The Tollgate Commercial Center PUD/DRI includes several public roads throughout and
adjacent to the development which provide access to other areas of the PUD. This application
does not propose any change to the road layout.
FLUE Policy 7.4: “The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable
communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of
housing prices and types.”
This application is consistent with this policy as it does not include any changes to the
previously approved uses, intensity, or open space. Existing sidewalk facilities within the
Tollgate Commercial Center PUD provide for walkability and connect to nearby commercial
areas along Tollgate Blvd., Beck Blvd., and at various locations throughout the PUD.
FLUE Policy 7.5: “The County shall encourage mixed-use development within the same buildings
by allowing residential dwelling units over and/or abutting commercial development. This Policy
shall be implemented through provisions in specific Subdistricts in this Growth Management
Plan.”
The request supports this policy to encourage mixed-use development through the addition
of residential uses abutting commercial development. The companion GMP amendment
proposes to amend the Activity Center #9 subdistrict to establish a maximum residential
density on this parcel.
CCME Objective 6.1: “Protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum
preservation requirements. (The Policies under this Objective apply to all of Collier County except
for that portion of the County which is identified on the Countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
as the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay.)”
This application is limited to the reuse of an existing, developed, hotel site. No changes are
proposed to previously approved preservation requirements. Established preserves within
the PUD are demonstrated on the Master Concept Plan.
CCME Objective 7.1: “Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their
habitats. (The County relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify
species that require special protection because of their endangered, threatened, or species of
special concern status. Listed animal species are those species that the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission has designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special
concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, F.A.C. and those

species designated by various federal agencies as Endangered and Threatened species
published in 50 CFR 17.)”
This application is consistent with this policy as it is not located within, nor propose impacts
to listed animal species and their habitats. The existing building and paved areas are not
proposed to be changed, and this application only facilitates the reuse of the property for
multifamily dwellings.
Housing Element Goal 1: TO CREATE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF DECENT, SAFE,
SANITARY, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF COLLIER COUNTY.
This application is consistent with this goal as it provides 110 new decent, safe, sanitary and
reasonably priced housing units to be rented to employers and employees for local
businesses to attract and retain employees. As an adaptive reuse project, the application
provides the additional benefit of locating these new units in close proximity to employment
uses. Additionally, the proposed GMP amendment and Rezone include commitments to
provide affordable housing through income and rent limits.
d. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may include
restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering and
screening requirements.
The PUD is located in Activity Center #9 which is anticipated to include a mix of uses, densities
and intensities. The amendment limits proposed changes to Parcel 11, which is currently
developed as a hotel. Transitioning Parcel 11 from a hotel to residential use improves
compatibility with external uses through the reduction of intensity and traffic impacts.
e. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the
development.
The PUDA does not propose any changes to the open space requirements of the PUD. Open
space within the PUD is currently provided through 17.84 acres (17.8% of the gross PUD
acreage) of Preserve and water management areas. Other useable open space is provided in
the development areas within required yards, landscaped areas, and recreation areas throughout
the PUD. The combination of Preserves and open space within the development area exceeds
the requirement for 30 percent of the gross acreage of the PUD in LDC section 4.07.02.G.2.
f. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of assuring the adequacy of
available improvements and facilities, both public and private.
As outlined in the enclosed application, all required public infrastructure is available and
adequate to service the proposed PUD.
g. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion.
This PUDA application does not propose expansion to areas outside the existing PUD boundary.
There are also no proposed increases in vehicular trips or increases in development intensity.
All changes proposed in this application are limited to Parcel 11 within the Tollgate Commercial
Center PUD.

h. Conformity with PUD regulations, or as to desirable modifications of such regulations in
the particular case, based on determination that such modifications are justified as
meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such
regulations.
The proposed development is generally consistent with the PUD regulations contained in the
LDC. The Applicant is requesting one deviation from the LDC in order to support the reuse
development project. The reuse of the property will uphold the intent of the PUD regulations and
ensure design consistency, internal connectivity, and integration of dwelling types, appropriate
vehicular circulation, and the protection of public health, safety and welfare.

Center Phase I, Parcel 2 and W15ft of the W1/2 of Parcel 1 Bounded by the Prolongation of NLY and SLY
Lines of Parcel 2 in Section 35, Township 49, Range 26 of unincorporated Collier County, Florida. Property
ID/Folio Number: 76885005005.
Mr. Yovanovich,
This letter is in response to a Zoning Verification Letter (ZLTR) Application that you submitted on or about
June 9, 2022. The applicant’s questions are listed below in bold, followed by staff’s response. A response
to a follow up question, submitted after the applicant’s initial submission (see attached email from Ray
Bellows on 7/01/2022) is included.
Zoning:
The current official zoning atlas, an element of the Collier County Land Development Code (LDC),
Ordinance 04-41, as amended, reveals the subject property is located within the Tollgate Commercial
Center Planned Unit Development (PUD).
1. Are long term leases for hotel rooms permitted in Collier County? If no, does it matter if the long-
term lease is with a business, and the subtenant lease for the person living in the room is short term?
There is no LDC restriction regarding the maximum stay permitted at hotel rooms; the applicable zoning
therefore allows long term leases for hotel rooms.
2. What is the maximum length of stay for a single hotel guest within the PUD zoning district?
Tollgate Commercial Center PUD does not regulate a minimum or maximum length of stay for hotel guests.
3. Can our client charge guests a daily rate, or do they have to charge them a monthly rate?
Hotel rates are not regulated by the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD or LDC. However, the LDC
definition for hotel (see attached) does allow for the operator to charge their guests on a daily basis.
4. What constitutes a guest staying for less than the maximum allowed period? That is, how is the
end period and turnover of the unit defined?
Tollgate Commercial Center PUD does not regulate a minimum or maximum length of stay for hotel guests.
It also doesn’t regulate the turnover of the motel unit.
5. Given that my client will have long term master leases (over 1 year) with local employers to house
their essential workers from nurses to housekeepers to potentially teachers and other public servants,
do they need to continue paying hotel bed and lodging taxes?
The LDC does not regulate the taxing of specific uses. For more information about the Collier County
Tourist Development Tax, please contact TouristTax@colliertax.com or call 239-252-8829.

6. If yes, do they need to continue paying hotel bed and lodging taxes after the first 6 months of a
long-term lease?
See answer to question 5.
7. Does my client need to pay the taxes if they have a one year lease with a tenant or subtenant, but
offer a sixty (60) day opt-out period that can be exercised no earlier than seven (7) months after
executing the lease?
See answer to question 5.
8. Can my client install kitchenettes and fire sprinklers under the current PUD zoning district?
Kitchenettes and fire sprinklers are allowable accessory uses under permitted use (h) in the PUD Ord. 92 -
10, “Motels; hotels and other transient lodging facilities”. Please contact Jonathan Walsh concerning the
Building Code requirements for converting an existing transient lodging facility into residential dwelling
units.
9. The applicant is requesting conformation that the residential density applies to the entire PUD
boundary but excludes the Industrial zoned tracts. They also want confirmation of the maximum
density for a commercial/residential mixed-use tract proposed for the Tollgate PUD.
Tollgate Commercial Center PUD is located within Interchange Activity Center #9. Per the Future Land
Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP), mixed-use developments within the
Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict are intended to consist of residential and commercial projects. If
there is a conversion of existing commercial use to residential, the density for the resulting mixed-use
project is therefore calculated based on only the gross commercial acreage within the PUD and excludes
any industrial acreage. The eligible density for Activity Center #9 is sixteen dwelling units/acre.
The information presented in this verification letter is based on the Collier County LDC and/or Growth
Management Plan in effect as of this date. It is possible that subsequent amendment(s) to either of these
documents could affect the validity of this verification letter. It is also possible that development of the
subject property could be affected by other issues not addressed in this letter, such as, but not limited to,
concurrency related to the provision of adequate public facilities, environmental impact, and other
requirements of the Collier County LDC or related ordinances.
This letter represents a determination of Zoning Services Section staff. Should you disagree with this
determination, you may request an Official Interpretation by the Zoning Director of the provisions of the
Land Development Code pursuant to Sections 1.06.01.A and 10.02.02.F.1 of that Code. The fee for an
Official Interpretation is identified in the most recent GMD Fee Schedule Resolution as approv ed by the
Board of County Commissioners. To obtain copies of any document referenced herein, please contact
GMD Records Section at (239) 252-5730 or at GMDRecordsRoom@colliercountyfl.gov. The LDC may
be viewed online at www.municode.com / Municode Library / Florida / Collier County. Validated
Ordinances may be viewed online via the Clerk of Court’s website, www.collierclerk.com / Records Search
/ BMR Records / Boards, Minutes, Records / BMR Validated Ordinances.
Disclaimer: Issuance of a development permit by the County does not create any rights on the part of the
applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of
the county for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the
obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or
federal law. All other applicable state or federal permits must be obtained before commencement of the
development.

accessory uses, such as restaurants, meeting rooms, or recreational facilities.
Hotel shall mean a facility offering transient lodging accommodations normally on a
daily rate to the general public and typically providing accessory uses, such as:
restaurants, meeting rooms and recreational facilities. Hotels are different than
motels in that each room does not have a separate entry directly from the outside of
the building but rather entry is gained through the interior of the building through a
lobby. For the purposes of calculating water and sewer impact fees, a hotel and resort
hotel are considered to be non -residential uses.
• Destination resort hotel: A transient lodging facility (i.e. - less than six months

facilities, (iii) health spa and/or fitness center, (iv) oth er recreational amenities and on -
site services, including full dining services and cocktail lounge, entertainment rooms
for video and movies, and concierge services. Except that, for destination resort hotels
fronting on the Gulf of Mexico, an on -site golf course is not required. In all cases, a
destination resort hotel must include full dining services and a cocktail lounge, and not
less than 25 percent of the gross floor area must be devoted to common usage and
support service areas, such as but not limit ed to fitness room, health spa, media room,
meeting rooms, dining and lounge facilities, and spaces in support of hotel functions.
• Short-Term Vacation Rental. A "Short-Term Vacation Rental" means the rental of any
habitable space, including a room, apartment, living quarters, in any residential
building, including but not limited to, condominiums, single -family or multi-family
homes, for a term of six months or less, as provided in F.S. § 125 .0104(3)(a), as amended,
unless such person rents, leases, or lets for consideration any living quarters or
accommodations which are exempt according to the provisions of F.S. ch. 212. Any
Owner who is not required to register with the Florida Department o f Business and
Professional Regulation, as defined by F.S. ch. 509, is exempt from this ordinance.

limited to non-commercial uses as allowed in Mixed Use Activity Centers.
(XV) 3. The location and configuration of all land uses within a Master Planned Activity Center
shall be compatible with and related to existing site features, surrounding development,
and existing natural and manmade constraints. Commercial uses shall be oriented so
as to provide coordinated and functional transportation access to major roadways

uses and the planned transportation network.
(XV) 4. Adjacent properties within the Activity Center that are not under the unified control of the
applicant shall be considered and appropriately incorporated (i.e. pedestrian, bicycle and
vehicular interconnections) into the applicant’s Master Plan.
(XLIV) New Mixed Use Activity Centers may be proposed if all of the following criteria are met and an
amendment is made to delineate the specific boundaries on the Future Land Use Map series for
Mixed Use Activity Centers:
• the intersection around which the Mixed Use Activity Center is located consists of an arterial
and collector road, or two arterial roads, based upon roadway classifications contained in
the Transportation Element.
• the Mixed Use Activity Center is no closer than two (2) miles from any existing Mixed Use
Activity Center, as measured from the center point of the intersections around which the
existing and proposed Mixed Use Activity Centers are located.
• market justification is provided demonstrating the need for a Mixed Use Activity Center at
the proposed location.
2. Interchange Activity Center Subdistrict:
(XV) Interchange Activity Centers have been designated on the Future Land Use Map at three of the

Center at the new I-75/Golden Gate Parkway interchange. The boundaries of these Interchange
Activity Centers have been specifically defined on the maps located at the end of this Section as
part of the Future Land Use Map Series. Any changes to the boundaries of these Interchange
Activity Centers shall require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map Series.

Interchange Activity Centers #4 (I-75 at Immokalee Road) and #10 (I-75 at Pine Ridge Road)
allow for the same mixture of land uses as allowed in the Mixed Use Activity Centers; additionally,
industrial uses, as identified below, are allowed in the southwest and southeast quadrants of
Interchange Activity Center #4. No industrial uses shall be allowed in Interchange Activity Center
#10. The actual mix of uses shall be determined during the rezoning process based on
consideration of the same factors listed under the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict.
Interchange Activity Center #9 (I-75 at Collier Boulevard) is subject to an Interchange Master Plan
(IMP), which was adopted by Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners, and to the
implementing provisions adopted into the Land Development Code.
(LXI) All new projects within Activity Center #9 are encouraged to have a unified plan of development
in the form of a Planned Unit Development. However, the 3.7-acre property formerly utilized by
the Florida Highway Patrol Headquarters located east of the Tollgate PUD/DRI may be split into
2 parcels and one of the parcels being 3.4 acres will be permitted to utilize conventional zoning.
[This portion of Activity Center #9 is depicted on a FLUM Series Inset Map.] The mixture of uses
allowed in Interchange Activity Center #9 shall include all land uses allowed in the Mixed Use
Activity Centers; additionally, industrial uses shall be allowed in the northeast and southeast
quadrants of I-75 and Collier Boulevard, and in the southwest quadrant of Collier and Davis
Boulevards. The above allowed uses notwithstanding, commercial zoning shall not exceed 55%
of the total acreage (635.9 ac.) of Interchange Activity Center #9. The actual mix of uses shall be
determined during the rezoning process based on consideration of the same factors listed under
the Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict, and based on the adopted IMP.
For residential-only development, if a project is located within the boundaries of an Interchange
Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, up to 16 residential
units per gross acre may be allowed. If such a project is located within the boundaries of an
Interchange Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict, eligible
density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a residential-only project located partially
within and partially outside of an Activity Center, the density accumulated from the Activity Center
portion of the project may be distributed throughout the project.
(XV) Mixed-use developments ‒ whether consisting of residential units located above commercial
uses, in an attached building, or in a freestanding building - are allowed and encouraged within
Interchange Activity Centers. Such mixed-use projects are intended to be developed at a human-
scale, pedestrian-oriented, and interconnected with adjacent projects – whether commercial or
residential. Street, pedestrian pathway and bike lane interconnections with adjacent properties,
where possible and practicable, are encouraged. Density for such a project is calculated based
upon the gross project acreage within the Activity Center. If such a project is located within the
boundaries of an Interchange Activity Center which is not within the Urban Residential Fringe
Subdistrict, the eligible density is sixteen dwelling units per acre. If such a project is located within
the boundaries of a Mixed Use Activity Center which is within the Urban Residential Fringe
Subdistrict, eligible density shall be as allowed by that Subdistrict. For a project located partially
within and partially outside of an Activity Center, and the portion within an Activity Center is
developed as mixed use, the density accumulated from the Activity Center portion of the project
shall not be distributed outside of the Activity Center.
Based on the unique location and function of Interchange Activity Centers, some Industrial land
uses ‒ those that serve regional markets and derive specific benefit when located in the
Interchange Activity Centers ‒ shall be allowed in the Activity Center quadrants previously
identified. These uses shall be limited to: manufacturing, warehousing, storage, and distribution.
During the rezone process, each such use shall be reviewed to determine if it will be compatible
with existing and approved land uses.

The following conditions shall be required to ensure compatibility of Industrial land uses with other
land uses allowed in the Interchange Activity Centers; to maintain the appearance of these
Interchange Activity Centers as gateways to the community; and to mitigate any adverse impacts
caused by noise, glare or fumes to the adjacent property owners. The Planned Unit Development
and/or rezoning ordinance shall contain specific language regarding the permitted Industrial land
uses, compatibility requirements, and development standards consistent with the following
conditions. Site-specific development details will be reviewed during the Site Development Plan
review process.
a. Landscaping, buffering and/or berming shall be installed along the Interstate;
b. Fencing shall be wooden or masonry;
c. Wholesale and storage uses shall not be permitted immediately adjacent to the right-of-
way of the Interstate;
d. Central water and sewage systems shall be required;
(XV) e. Ingress and egress shall be consistent with State Access Management Plans, as
applicable;
f. No direct access to the Interstate right-of-way shall be permitted;
g. Joint access and frontage roads shall be established when frontage is not adequate to
meet the access spacing requirements of the Access Control Policy, Activity Center
Access Management Plan provisions, or State Access Management Plans, as applicable;
h. Access points and median openings shall be designed to provide adequate turning radii
to accommodate truck traffic and to minimize the need for U-turn movements;
i. The developer shall be responsible to provide all necessary traffic improvements to
include traffic signals, turn lanes, deceleration lanes, and other improvements deemed
necessary ‒ as determined through the rezoning process; and,
j. A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for the designated Industrial land uses component of
the projects shall be established at 0.45.
(V)(VI)(XV)
3. Livingston/Pine Ridge Commercial Infill Subdistrict:
This Subdistrict consists of two parcels; one parcel consists of 17.5 acres and is located at the
southeast quadrant of Livingston Road, a collector roadway, and Pine Ridge Road, a minor arterial
roadway. The second parcel consists of 10.47 acres and is located at the northwest quadrant of
Livingston Road and Pine Ridge Road. In addition to uses allowed in the Plan, the intent of the
Livingston/Pine Ridge Commercial Infill Subdistrict is to provide shopping, personal services and
employment for the surrounding residential areas within a convenient travel distance and to
provide commercial services in an acceptable manner along a new collector roadway. The
Subdistrict is intended to be compatible with the neighboring commercial, public use and high
density residential properties and will utilize well-planned access points to improve current and
future traffic flows in the area.
(VI)(XV) a. Southeast Quadrant
If permitted by the South Florida Water Management District, emergency access to the North
Naples Fire District fire station located immediately east of the property will be provided
improving response times to all properties located south along Livingston Road.
Interconnection to abutting properties immediately to the South and immediately to the East
will be studied and provided if deemed feasible, as a part of the rezoning action relating to the
subject property.

RE: Tollgate Housing Subdistrict GMPA-PL20230007876 &
Tollgate Commercial Center PUDA-PL20230007874
Dear Property Owner:
Please be advised that K2 Housing Naples, LLC has filed a Growth Management Plan
Amendment (PL20230007876) and a Planned Unit Development Amendment (PUDA)
application (PL20230007874) with Collier County. The applications will amend the Tollgate
Commercial Center PUD to allow 110 multifamily rental dwelling units (22 dwelling units per
acre) on Parcel 11 as an alternative to the 104 motel units known as Super 8 by Wyndham.
Of the 110 dwelling units, 25 units will be income restricted as affordable. The amendments
also allow minimum unit sizes of 250 square feet and add deviations related to required
landscaping and parking spaces applicable to the subject property.

REQUESTED ACTION:
The petitioner requests that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) consider a
Resolution amending Development Order 84-1, as amended, for the Toll Gate Commercial Center

PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The petitioner seeks to amend Tollgate Commercial Center DRI Development Order Number 84-
1, as amended most recently by Resolution 2015-193, to:
• Update Section 2 of the DRI text to include residential use in Parcel 11 only (110 multi-
family residential units);
• Revise Section 2 of the DRI text to update references to certain Florida Statutes and
terminology;
• Extend the buildout date listed in Section 7 of the DRI text from August 1, 2021 to August
1, 2030;
• Revise Map H to add a note regarding 110 multi-family residential units limited to Parcel
11; and
• Modify the title of the Map from “Exhibit B” to “Map H”.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The petitioner seeks to amend sections of Development Order 84-1, as amended, for the Toll Gate
Commercial Center DRI to conform the DRI Development Order with the proposed changes to
the Tollgate Commercial Center PUD (PL20230007874) and the proposed Tollgate Commercial
Center Housing Parcel Subdistrict of the Future Land Use Element of the GMP (PL20230007876).
On April 9, 2018, the statutory provisions in Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, related to developments
of regional impact (DRI) were amended to eliminate the state review process regarding changes
to existing DRIs. Amendments to development orders for existing DRIs are now considered by
the local governments that issued the development orders, without state and regional review,
pursuant to their local development review procedures, unless those amendments exceed the
development thresholds established in Section 380.0651, Florida Statutes.

Packet Pg. 634 Attachment: Tollgate Commercial DRI DOA -Staff-Report HFAC (29782 : PL20230007875 Toll Gate Commercial Center DRI DO Amendment)
DOA-PL20230007875 – Toll Gate Commercial Center DRI Page 4 of 5
Friday, September 13, 2024
The petitioner seeks to convert the existing 104-room Super 8 Motel, which was constructed in
1990, into 110 multifamily dwellings. The proposed 110 units on the 4.33-acre motel property
equates to a density of 25.4 units per acre; when calculated on the 5.0-acre site, the density is 22
units per acre. The calculation of density across the entire 100-acre DRI/PUD is 1.1 units per acre.
The property would typically be subject to the Density Rating System and maximum density
provided in the Growth Management Plan. The petitioner seeks a GMP Amendment to create a
subdistrict to allow for proposed multi-family residential use of the existing hotel without utilizing
the Density Rating System. The maximum density allowed by the proposed Tollgate Housing
Parcel Subdistrict is 22 dwelling units per acre, not to exceed 110 dwelling units.
Per Subsection (7)(b) of Section 380.06, F.S., any new conditions in the amendment to the
development order issued by the local government may address only those impacts directly created
by the proposed change, and must be consistent with [F.S.] s. 163.3180(5), the adopted
comprehensive plan, and adopted land development regulations.
Staff finds the proposed changes do not create an adverse impact and recommends approval of the
DRI Development Order Amendment subject to approval of the companion GMPA
(PL20230007876) with an effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA, and
approval of the companion PUDA (PL20230007874).
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM):
Per the public notice requirements in LDC Section 10.03.06.I., a neighborhood information
meeting (NIM) is not required for amendment to a DRI Development Order. The companion
GMPA and PUDA petitions required a NIM, and the summary of the meetings held can be found
in the staff reports for companion items PUDA-PL20230007874 and GMPA-PL20230007876.
COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW:
The County Attorney’s Office reviewed the staff report for Petition DOA-PL20230007875 on
August 28, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward this petition to
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a recommendation of approval of DOA-
PL20230007875, subject to approval of the companion GMPA (PL20230007876) with an
effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA, and approval of the companion
PUDA (PL20230007874).

RE: Tollgate Commercial Center Development Regional Impact
Dear Mr. Bellows:
K2 Housing Naples LLC, Inc. (“Applicant”) is requesting to amend the Tollgate Commercial Center
DRI to allow for the adaptive reuse of the Super 8 Hotel which will transition the hotel to a
multifamily development. The amendment will modify the note on Map H to allow for 110
multifamily residential dwellings on a single parcel within the DRI. The amendment does not
require any text change to the DRI. No other changes to approved commercial or industrial uses
are included with this request.
To assist in Staff’s review of this request, please find the adopted Map H, per DO 84-1, which was
most recently amended by Resolution 2015-193, and the proposed revised map attached. The
Request Narrative describes all changes to these maps in more detail. Staff will note the minor
nature of this request, limited to transitioning the existing hotel on Parcel 11 to multifamily
development aimed at providing affordable workforce housing.
In 2015 and 2016 statutory provisions in Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, related to DRIs we re
amended to eliminate the review process for DRI amendments, which are now to be considered
by local governments. Based on the changes to the Development of Regional Impact process as
outlined in the Florida Statutes, a Notice of Proposed Change will not be necessary to add
residential uses to the Tollgate Commercial Center DRI for the following reasons:
1. The proposed change will not increase the overall project intensity of commercial land
uses in the DRI;
2. The proposed change will not increase any trips onto Collier Blvd. resulting from the
transition from commercial to residential trips, ensuring no impact to the regional
transportation network;
3. The proposed change will not have any increase in environmental impacts and no
wetlands or environmentally sensitive lands are being affected; and
4. The applicant is not requesting any changes to the existing stormwater management
system or other development permits.
Based on the above, the requested change complies with 380.06(7), F.S. It is understood the
requested amendment is subject to approval by the local government through the public hearing
process. The Applicant is requesting the DRI amendment be heard by the Collier County Planning
Commission and Board of County Commissioners with the companion Tollgate Commercial
Center PUD Amendment (PL20220003892).
A pre-application meeting for this project was held on May 16, 2023.

Tollgate Comm. Center DRI (DOA)
Request Narrative
This application proposes to amend the Tollgate Commercial Center DRI to add multifamily
residential dwelling units to Parcel 11 only. The project is an adaptive reuse of the existing 104-room
Super 8 Hotel which will become an affordable workforce housing development with 110 multifamily
dwellings. In support of the change, amendments to the DRI text to Map H are proposed and
identified in more detail below.
In 2015 and 2016 statutory provisions in Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, related to DRIs were
amended to eliminate the review process for DRI amendments, which are now to be considered by
local governments. Pursuant to these changes to Florida Statutes, the request is a local zoning
issue and the proposed amendment does not create a reasonable likelihood of additional regional
impacts, or any type of regional impact not previously reviewed by the regional planning agency for
the following reasons:
1. The proposed change will not increase the overall project intensity of land uses in the
DRI;
2. The proposed change will not result in increased impacts to the regional transportation
network due to the reduced trip generation of multifamily dwellings vs. hotels;
3. The proposed change will not have any increase in environmental impacts and no
wetlands or environmentally sensitive lands are being affected; and
4. The applicant is not requesting any changes to the existing stormwater management or
other development permits.
The requested change complies with 380.06(7), F.S. which outlines the revised amendment process.
It is understood the requested amendment is subject to approval by the local government through
the public hearing process and no Notice of Proposed Change is required.
The Department of Economic Opportunity in the past has found that these types of changes, because
they are minor and do not increase regional impacts or negatively impact regional resources, do not
require NOPC review in an attempt to streamline the process. Furthermore, the request is consistent
with the changes made to the Florida Statutes, pursuant to Chapter 2018-158 of the Florida
Administrative Code, as it relates to 380.06(7), F.S. (Changes).
Proposed DRI Changes:
1) DRI Text Changes
a. Adding residential uses to Section 2.
i. This change is required to facilitate the reuse of the existing hotel as described
above and in the companion GMP and PUD amendments.
b. Extending the DRI build-out date in Section 7.
i. The proposed build-out date is August 1, 2030. Most development sites have
been sold and developed. A few sites within the DRI remain undeveloped and

the proposed project seeks to redevelop an existing developed site.
Therefore, the applicant seeks to extend the life of the Development Order so
that development and redevelopment within the DRI may continue to
completion.
2) Master Development Plan Changes
a. Adding note regarding 110 multi-family residential units limited to Parcel 11.
i. This change is required to facilitate the reuse of the existing hotel as described
above and in the companion GMP and PUD amendments.
b. Updating the current exhibit title to “Map H.”
i. This change updates the exhibit title to one commonly used for DRI Master
Development Plans.

Types of Reviews:
School Impact Analysis:
This review should be divided into two categories:
- School Capacity Review (land use and rezonings), and;
- Concurrency Determinations (site plans and subdivisions).
School Capacity Review is the review of a project in the land use and rezoning stage of development. It is a
review of the impact of the development on school capacity and is considered long range planning. This may
be a review resulting in mitigation being required. In situations where the applicant may be required to
mitigate, capacity may be reserved dependent on the type of mitigation.
Concurrency Determination is the review of residential site plans and subdivisions to determine whether
there is available capacity. When capacity is determined to be available a School Capacity Determination
Letter (SCADL) will be issued verifying available capacity to the applicant and the local government. If a
project exceeds the adopted level of service standards, the applicant is afforded the option of a negotiation
period that may or may not result in an executed/recorded mitigation agreement Mitigation at this stage is
expressed as a Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement. For those residential developments that may have
an impact but are otherwise exempt from concurrency, an exemption letter will be prepared for the applicant
upon request. For those residential developments that are determined to not have an impact, a letter of no
impact will be prepared for the applicant upon request.
Exemption Letter:
An applicant may request an Exemption Letter as documentation for the local government. These are projects
that would be exempt from school concurrency review or projects that do not impact the public schools.
Exemptions from school concurrency are limited to existing single family or mobile home lots of record;
amendments to previously approved site plans or plats that do not increase the number of dwelling units or
change the dwelling unit type; age restricted communities with no permanent residents under the age of 18; or
residential site plans or plats or amendments to site plans or plats that generate less than one student; or are
authorized as a Development of Regional Impact (Chapter 380, F.S.) as of July 1, 2005.
Concurrency Determination Amendment:
An applicant may request an amendment to a previously issued School Concurrency Determination or to an
application being processed. This review may require additional staff time beyond the initial concurrency
determination review and results in a modified determination being issued. An amendment could result in a
negotiation period and/or a mitigation agreement being issued or a previously approved determination being
modified and reissued.

REQUESTED ACTION:
The applicant proposes a small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE), specifically to create a new subdistrict called Palm River Corporate Housing Residential
Subdistrict that will provide lands for a maximum of 41 multi-family dwelling units to provide corporate
employee housing.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Subject Property:
The 2.06±-acre subject site is designated on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as Urban, Urban Mixed-
Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict. Furthermore, the 16-unit acre density allowance on this
property was determined to be Consistent by Policy through the Zoning Reevaluation Ordinance No. 90 -
23. This section of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) states that where such properties were determined,
through the implementation of an Ordinance, to be “improved property,” as defined in that Ordinance, the
zoning on said properties shall be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element and those properties
have been identified on the Future Land Use Map Series as Properties Consistent by Policy. Therefore,
according to the official zoning map, the site is zoned as a residential multi-family with a density allowance
of 16 units an acre (RMF-16). The Urban Residential Future Land Use designation is intended to provide
for higher densities in an area with fewer natural resource constraints and where existing and planned public
facilities are concentrated.
Surrounding Lands:
North: Future Land Use Designation; Urban Residential. Zoned; Residential Multi-Family
(RMF- 16). Land Use; Multi-family Residential.
East: Future Land Use Designation; Urban Residential. Zoned; Residential Multi-Family
(RMF-16)/ Golf Course (GC). Land Use; Multi-family Residential
South: Future Land Use Designation; Urban Residential. Zoned; Residential Multi-Family
(RMF-6). Land Use; Multi-family Residential
West: Future Land Use Designation; Urban Residential. Zoned; Residential Multi-Family
(RMF-16)/Residential Single Family (RSF-3). Land Use; Multi/Single-family
Residential
In summary, the existing and planned land uses in the larger surrounding area are primarily multi-family
and low-density single-family residences.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The subject 2.06±-acre site currently consists of a 12-unit multi-family complex developed in the 1980s.
The existing onsite units only take advantage of half the eligible density available to the property through
the Growth Management Plan. The proposed subdistrict is being requested in conjunction with the proposed
Palm River Corporate Housing rezone, and the project is intended to provide 41 multi-family dwelling units
for employees in need of transitional housing while searching for permanent residences in Southwest
Florida. The applicant has provided a Needs Analysis for the subject property at 208 Palm River Blvd.,
Collier County, Florida. Within the analysis provided, the consultant addressed the following topics: Market
demand, housing supply, length of stay in existing corporate housing, and employment projections for
Arthrex. Staff assessment of the site shows that the property is underutilized. The site currently has 12 units;
however, the current RMF-16 zoning designation would permit 33 units by right on the property.

One of the County’s goals is to attract and retain private sector companies that provide job opportunities.
As stated in the narrative statement, long-term housing availability within Collier County is limited, and
Arthrex is finding it increasingly difficult to fill the approximately 300 open positions. The length of stay
within existing transitional housing has increased from 60 days to over 135 days in the 40 existing properties
that Arthrex has throughout the county. As a solution, Arthrex’s proposal for this site will help alleviate the
issues but will not solve them completely. Allowing companies to provide interim corporate employee
housing will also assist in retaining these companies and/or expanding in Collier County. Arthrex is one of
the largest private sector employers in Collier County and has an economic benefit to Colli er County in
excess of $2 billion.
The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has enacted a policy within the last few years that requires
any request for density above the maximum allowed in that future land use designation to require a
minimum of 30% of units to be restricted to affordable levels. As proposed, the applicant is only potentially
restricting 8 of the units to 100% of AMI, which only calculates to 19.5% of the units, should the project
no longer provide transitional corporate housing. It is the opinion of staff that the number of units be
increased to 12 across the board to more closely comply with BCC policy at a rate of 29.3%. The proposed
allocation of income-restricted units, as-is, only becomes available if the facility is no longer used for
transitional corporate housing.
Comprehensive Planning Staff believes the petitioner has provided appropriate and relevant data and
analysis to address the statutory requirements for a Plan Amendment identified below. Though the inclusion
of additional density within the proposed subdistrict is inconsistent with the urban residential subdistrict,
staff agrees that there is a need for additional housing opportunities within Collier County to serve those
future residents of this portion of Collier County. Furthermore, the proposed multi-family development is
compatible with the adjacent and entitled multi-family and single-family land uses. Comprehensive
Planning Staff finds that the creation of the proposed subdistrict on the property to allow the uses identified
within the subdistrict would be consistent with the goals and policies of the Growth Management Plan as
well as the Florida state statutes listed below.
CRITERIA FOR GMP AMENDMENTS FLORIDA STATUTES:
Data and analysis requirements for comprehensive plans and plan amendments are noted in Chapter 163,
F.S., specifically listed below.
Section 163.3177(1)(f), Florida Statutes:
(f) All mandatory and optional elements of the comprehensive plan and plan amendments shall be based
upon relevant and appropriate data and an analysis by the local government that may include, but not
be limited to, surveys, studies, community goals and vision, and other data available at the time of
adoption of the comprehensive plan or plan amendment. To be based on data means to react to it in an
appropriate way and to the extent necessary, as indicated by the data available on that particular subject
at the time of adoption of the plan or plan amendment at issue.
1. Surveys, studies, and data utilized in the preparation of the comprehensive plan may not be deemed
a part of the comprehensive plan unless adopted as a part of it. Copies of such studies, surveys,
data, and supporting documents for proposed plans and plan amendments shall be made available
for public inspection, and copies of such plans shall be made available to the public upon payment
of reasonable charges for reproduction. Support data or summaries are not subject to the compliance
review process, but the comprehensive plan must be clearly based on appropriate data. Support data
or summaries may be used to aid in the determination of compliance and consistency.
2. Data must be taken from professionally accepted sources. The application of a methodology
utilized in data collection or whether a particular methodology is professionally accepted may be
evaluated. However, the evaluation may not include whether one accepted methodology is better
than another. Original data collection by local governments is not required. However, local
governments may use original data so long as methodologies are professionally accepted.
3. The comprehensive plan shall be based upon permanent and seasonal population estimates and
projections, which shall either be those published by the Office of Economic and Demographic

Research or generated by the local government based upon a professionally acceptable
methodology. The plan must be based on at least the minimum amount of land required to
accommodate the medium projections as published by the Office of Economic and Demographic
Research for at least a 10-year planning period unless otherwise limited under s. 380.05, including
related rules of the Administration Commission. Absent physical limitations on population growth,
population projections for each municipality, and the unincorporated area within a county must, at
a minimum, be reflective of each area’s proportional share of the total county population and the
total county population growth.
Section 163.3177(6)(a)2. Florida Statutes:

(1) A small-scale development amendment may be adopted under the following conditions:
(a) The proposed amendment involves a use of 50 acres or fewer. [The subject site comprises 2.06±
acres.]
(b) The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives
of the local government’s comprehensive plan but only proposes a land use change to the future land
use map for a site-specific small-scale development activity. However, text changes that relate
directly to and are adopted simultaneously with the small-scale future land use map amendment shall
be permissible under this section. [This amendment does include a text change to the Comprehensive

Plan and those text changes are directly related to the proposed future land use map amendment.]
(c) The property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is not located within an area of critical
state concern unless the project subject to the proposed amendment involves the construction of
affordable housing units meeting the criteria of s. 420.0004(3) and is located within an area of
critical state concern designated by s. 380.0552 or by the Administration Commission pursuant to
s. 380.05(1). [The subject property is not located within an Area of Critical State Concern.]
(4) Comprehensive plans may only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of
the plan pursuant to s. 163.3177. Corrections, updates, or modifications of current costs which were
set out as part of the comprehensive plan shall not, for the purposes of this act, be deemed to be

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM) NOTES:
The petitioner conducted a NIM on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at Arthrex offices located at 1 Arthrex
Way. The meeting was also broadcast via ZOOM. The meeting began at 5:30 p.m.
Agent Wayne Arnold presented information about the proposed GMPA and PUD rezoning, noting the
project's intent is to demolish existing buildings and replace them with transitional corporate housing for
Arthrex employees.
Concerns were raised about light potentially shining into the first floor of the villas across the creek and
whether any buffering would address that issue. Discussion followed about the golf cart path and easement
that transects the site and whether the utility easement for the golf course’s irrigation and electric equipment
would be maintained. Attendees also asked about location and safety of the school bus stop at the project’s
driveway. Concerns were expressed about the potential height of the building compared to what is currently
on site and how the project would be compatible with the existing neighborhood.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
• There is need for transitional/workforce housing, capital investment, and economic development
to strengthen and diversify the community’s economy in this area.
• County water and wastewater service is available to the site.
• Transportation system impacts have not been identified with this petition.
Environmental Findings:
The subject property is 2.06 acres. The existing site conditions were field verified by staff during
the review of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the project. The project is currently zoned
residential RMF-16 and has been developed with eighteen (18) residential units.
The proposed GMP amendment will not affect the requirements of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element (CCME) of the GMP. There is no preservation required native vegetation or
listed species present on-site; therefore, the petition meets the requirements of CCME Policy 6.1.1,
Policy 7.1.1, and section 3.05.07 of the LDC. Environmental Services staff recommends approval.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
This Staff Report was reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office on September 4, 2024. The criteria for
GMP amendments to the Future Land Use Element are in Sections 163.3177(1)(f) and 163.3177(6)(a)2,
Florida Statutes. The criteria for changes to the Future Land Use Map is in Section 163.3177(6)(a)8, Florida
Statutes. The Affordable Housing provisions are not likely to ever be triggered because this rental project
will operate like any other traditional rental property except that it will not rent to people working in Lee

County or people who are not working (including retirees). As proposed, Transitional Corporate Housing
is not limited to employees of Arthrex or any targeted business industry. –DDP
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff cannot recommend approval of the subdistrict as proposed and recommends that the affordable
housing commitments be increased to 12 of the 41 units be restricted to 100% of the median income from
the time of development and the Collier County Planning Commission forward petition PL20230011318
Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict GMPA to the Board of County Commissioners with
a recommendation to approve and adopt and transmit to the Florida Department of Commerce and other
statutorily required agencies.

Growth Management
Data and Analysis
Arthrex currently employs over 4.5k people in SW Florida. Arthrex has consistently averaged double
digit annual headcount growth however due to the housing crisis in Collier County we are finding it
increasing difficult to fill open positions. We currently have about 300 open job requisitions for our
SW Florida locations. The length of stay in our transitional housing has increased from an average of
60 days or less to over 135 days due to the challenges finding permanent housing. In order to help
alleviate this challenge we have kept over 40 temporary housing units for the last two years with
additional units in 2022 carried to help with hurricane Ian displaced employees. Based on these
numbers we are projecting our requests for transitional housing will increase by a minimum of 10%
annually. As you can see even with a 41-unit development we will still need an increasing number of
units to supplement the proposed Palm River project.
One of Collier County’s goals is to attract and retain private sector companies that provide job
opportunities in Collier County.
Arthrex currently employs 3,800 people in Collier County. Arthrex currently has 200 employment
vacancies in Collier County.
Arthrex as well as other employers in Collier County have a difficult time recruiting people to work
in Collier County due to the cost of Housing. Providing interim corporate housing to allow new
employees to better understand the housing options in Collier County is critical to recruiting
employees to Collier County.
The need for interim corporate housing applies to all levels of income.
Currently Arthrex and other employers have interim housing in many locations. Providing interim
corporate housing which allows many employees to live near each other allows new employees meet
other similarly situated employees and allows them to assimilate into the Arthrex corporate
community. This type of interim housing also allows them to be become familiar with the benefits of
living in Collier County. This will result in higher employee satisfaction and assist in retaining
employees in Collier County.
Allowing companies to provide interim corporate employee housing will also assist in retaining these
companies and/or expanding in Collier County. Arthrex is one of the largest private sector employers
in Collier County and has an economic benefit to Collier County in excess of $2 billion.
The subject growth management plan amendment that will allow Arthrex to maintain and recruit
new employees is consistent with the Economic Element of the Collier County Growth Management
Plan. The Goal of the Economic Element says that the County will achieve and maintain a diversified
and stable economy by providing a positive business climate that assures maximum employment
opportunities while maintaining a high quality of life. Implementing Policy 1.2 says that the County
will support the opportunity for development and establishment of medical related research and
manufacturing facilities. Arthrex is a global leader in medical device research and manufacturing
which support for their continued growth and development is consistent with this Policy of the
Economic Element.

Providing opportunities for corporate housing in close proximity to Arthrex’s corporate campus is
also consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic Element which says that Collier County will support
programs designed to promote and encourage the expansion and retention of existing industries in
order to maintain a diverse economic base. The corporate housing is an initiative by Arthrex to attract
and retain employees which is critical to the long-term success of Arthrex.

The small-scale growth management plan amendment proposes to establish a new infill subdistrict
which would permit up to 41 multi-family rental dwelling units on the 2.06+/- acre property.
The small-scale amendment is necessary to develop the proposed 41 multi-family dwelling units
for use as Transitional Corporate Housing. The property is currently designated as Urban
Residential Mixed Use, Urban Residential Mixed Use Subdistrict, which allows for a base density of
4 dwelling units per acre. However, the property is zoned RMF-16 which permits a maximum of 16
dwelling units per acre, and the density is vested by Growth Management Plan Policies applicable
to developed properties. The applicant wishes to develop the property at a maximum of 20
dwelling units per acre to maximize the number of units on the property for use as corporate
provided housing. The current zoning would support a maximum of 33 dwelling units; therefore,
the request is increasing the allowable number of dwelling units by 8 units. The corporate entity
provides short term housing for newly hired employees for them to settle into the community, save
money for downpayment or rent for their longer-term housing, and it is an incentive to attract
worker to this area where housing costs have in many cases outpaced the local wage structure.
Transitional Corporate Housing has become an increasingly popular trend among larger employers
and a report discussing the need for the employee housing has been provided as the data and
analysis supporting the increase in density for the property. The GMPA and PUD applications
include a definition for Transitional Corporate Housing which is:
Transitional Corporate Housing is defined as renting a furnished apartment,
condo, or home on a temporary basis to employees of companies located in Collier
County while seeking permanent housing as an alternative to a traditional
apartment, hotel or an extended hotel stay for a minimum of 30 days.
Under, Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, local governments may adopt small-scale amendments
to their Growth Management Plans if the amendment impacts fewer than 50 acres. The proposed
new sub-district consists of approximately 2.06+/- acres and is; therefore, eligible to seek the
proposed small-scale amendment. A companion PUD rezoning application has been filed with
Collier County.
Chapter 163.3167 Scope of act.—
(9) Each local government shall address in its comprehensive plan, as enumerated in this chapter,
the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use
demand for the established planning period, considering the applicable plan developed pursuant to
s. 373.709.
The project currently has potable water and sewer service by Collier County Water Sewer District.
No capacity issues exist or are anticipated in the service area.

(6) (a) 2. The future land use plan and plan amendments shall be based upon surveys, studies,
and data regarding the area, as applicable, including:
a. The amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth.
b. The projected permanent and seasonal population of the area.
c. The character of undeveloped land.
d. The availability of water supplies, public facilities, and services.
e. The need for redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community.
f. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations.
g. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to an airport as defined in s. 330.35 and
consistent with s. 333.02.
h. The discouragement of urban sprawl.
i. The need for job creation, capital investment, and economic development that will
strengthen and diversify the community’s economy.
j. The need to modify land uses and development patterns within antiquated subdivisions.
Arthrex is one of the top private sector employers in Collier County with over 3,800 employees in
Collier County. Arthrex continues to grow locally and availability of housing for employees
continues to be critical for both recruiting new employees and retaining existing employees. At the
beginning of 2024, Arthrex has approximately 200 open positions.
The opportunity to acquire the subject infill property and redevelop it with modern 41 unit housing
for use as Transitional Corporate Housing will have a positive impact on Arthrex’s ability to remain
a top employer in Collier County. A demand analysis has been prepared and accompanies this
application with supporting data and analysis.
Chapter 163.3177
8. Future land use map amendments shall be based upon the following analyses:
a. An analysis of the availability of facilities and services.
b. An analysis of the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the
character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic
resources on site.
c. An analysis of the minimum amount of land needed to achieve the goals and requirements
of this section.
The subject property was originally developed as a 12-unit condominium project some 30 years
ago. the existing zoning supports additional multifamily housing at this location. The proposed
small-scale plan amendment proposes to permit 8 additional dwelling units in support of the
Transitional Corporate Housing for one of our County’s largest employers, which allow for their
continued growth and contribution to the County’s economic vitality.
The Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict is consistent with Chapter 163.3177, F.S.
The subdistrict includes all available land of a size adequate to support a residential project.

163.3184 Process for adoption of comprehensive plan or plan amendment.
The proposed amendment is consistent with Chapter 163.3184, F.S which establishes the criteria
for small-scale comprehensive plan amendments to a growth management plan.
163.3187 Process for adoption of small scale comprehensive plan amendment.—
(1) A small scale development amendment may be adopted under the following conditions:
(a) The proposed amendment involves a use of 50 acres or fewer and:
(b) The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and
objectives of the local government’s comprehensive plan, but only proposes a land use change to
the future land use map for a site-specific small scale development activity. However, text changes
that relate directly to, and are adopted simultaneously with, the small scale future land use map
amendment shall be permissible under this section.
(c) The property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is not located within an area
of critical state concern, unless the project subject to the proposed amendment involves the
construction of affordable housing units meeting the criteria of s. 420.0004(3), and is located within
an area of critical state concern designated by s. 380.0552 or by the Administration Commission
pursuant to s. 380.05(1).
The proposed amendment involves the use of less than 50 acres, the proposed amendment
includes a map amendment and associated text relating directly to the map amendment, and the
property is not located within an area of critical state concern. No State or regional impacts are
associated with the proposed amendment.
Project Justification
Future Land Use Element:
The 2.06± acre project is designated Urban Designation, Mixed Use District, Urban Residential
Subdistrict on the Future Land Use Map. The small-scale growth management plan amendment
proposes to establish a new infill subdistrict which would permit up to 41 multi-family dwelling
units on the 2.06+/- acre property.
All housing will be occupied by employees of Arthrex. While not affordable housing in the strict
sense, the dwelling units will provide for below market rate housing for employees of various
income levels. The subdistrict text has been structured to insure that in the event the property is
no longer utilized for corporate provided employee housing, the 8 dwelling units that exceed the
currently allowed zoned density will be income restricted to individuals or families earning 100%
or less of the Area Median Income for Collier County.
The proposed residential project is consistent with other provisions of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan. Staff has specifically requested that we address Future Land use Policies 5.6 and
7.1-7.4.
Policy 5.6:
New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses,
as set forth in the Land Development Code.

Growth Management-r1.docx
The site currently is developed with 18 residential dwelling units, which is 15 dwelling units below
the permissible density on the site. The companion RPUD rezone will replace the current RMF-16
zoning, which permits buildings to have a zoned height of 75’, which would correspond to an actual
height of 85’ to 90’. The additional dwelling units can be developed utilizing all of the existing RMF-
16 development standards, including building height and building setbacks which insures
compatibility of the proposed units with the existing surrounding similarly zoned properties. The
applicant has voluntarily agreed to reduce the building height within the proposed PUD to a zoned
height of 55 feet and an actual height of 65 feet.
Policies 7.1-7.4 address smart growth and interconnectivity within the community. Due to the
size and developed nature of surrounding properties, a physical vehicular interconnection is not
possible. The site does have pedestrian connections to Palm River Boulevard via an existing
sidewalk, and a golf cart pathway will continue to traverse the site, providing for transportation
alternatives to vehicle travel. The site is located within one mile of the corporate headquarters
where many of the residents will be employed.
Transportation Element:
Policy 5.1 requires that all projects are evaluated to determine their effect on the overall
countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on
the overall County transportation system and shall not approve any petition or application that
would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts
an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR. The TIS prepared
in support of this small-scale amendment application concludes that no level of service issues will
arise from development of the proposed 41 dwelling units.
Public Facilities Element:
The property is served by potable water and sanitary sewer services. Water and sewer service will
be provided by Collier County Water Sewer District. No capacity issues have been identified or are
anticipated in the future.
Conservation and Coastal Management Element:
Policy 6.1.2 requires that developments in the Urban area must retain a minimum of 25% of existing
native vegetation on-site. The site has been entirely cleared in support of the existing residential
buildings and site improvements; therefore, no on-site vegetation preservation area is required.
The applicant has proposed that a minimum of 50% of the site will be utilized for useable open
space.

Arthrex currently employs over 4.5k people in SW Florida. Arthrex has consistently averaged double digit annual headcount growth however due to the housing crisis in Collier County we are finding it increasing difficult to fill open positions. We currently have about 300 open job requisitions for our SW Florida locations. The length of stay in our transitional housing has increased from an average of 60 days or less to over 135 days due to the challenges finding permanent housing. In order to help alleviate this challenge we have kept over 40 temporary housing units for the last two years with additional units in 2022 carried to help with hurricane Ian displaced employees. Based on these numbers we are projecting our requests for transitional housing will increase by a minimum of 10% annually. As you can see even with a 41-unit development we will still need an increasing number of units to supplement the proposed Palm River project. One of Collier County’s goals is to attract and retain private sector companies that provide job opportunities in Collier County. Arthrex currently employs 3,800 people in Collier County. Arthrex currently has 200 employment vacancies in Collier County. Arthrex as well as other employers in Collier County have a difficult time recruiting people to work in Collier County due to the cost of Housing. Providing interim corporate housing to allow new employees to better understand the housing options in Collier County is critical to recruiting employees to Collier County. The need for interim corporate housing applies to all levels of income. Currently Arthrex and other employers have interim housing in many locations. Providing interim corporate housing which allows many employees to live near each other allows new employees meet other similarly situated employees and allows them to assimilate into the Arthrex corporate community. This type of interim housing also allows them to be become familiar with the benefits of living in Collier County. This will result in higher employee satisfaction and assist in retaining employees in Collier County. Allowing companies to provide interim corporate employee housing will also assist in retaining these companies and/or expanding in Collier County. Arthrex is one of the largest private sector employers in Collier County and has an economic benefit to Collier County in excess of $2 billion. The subject growth management plan amendment that will allow Arthrex to maintain and recruit new employees is consistent with the Economic Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. The Goal of the Economic Element says that the County will achieve and maintain a diversified and stable economy by providing a positive business climate that assures maximum employment opportunities while maintaining a high quality of life. Implementing Policy 1.2 says that the County will support the opportunity for development and establishment of medical related research and manufacturing facilities. Arthrex is a global leader in medical device research and manufacturing which support for their continued growth and development is consistent with this Policy of the Economic Element.

Providing opportunities for corporate housing in close proximity to Arthrex’s corporate campus is also consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic Element which says that Collier County will support programs designed to promote and encourage the expansion and retention of existing industries in order to maintain a diverse economic base. The corporate housing is an initiative by Arthrex to attract and retain employees which is critical to the long-term success of Arthrex.

The County has adopted a LOS standard for private developments which requires development
to occur consistent with water quantity and quality standards established in Ordinances 74-50,
90-10, 2001-2 and LDC Ordinance 2004-41, as may be amended.
The property will be issued an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP), which has established requirements for water quality
treatment, storm water runoff attenuation and controlled off-site discharge of storm water
runoff.
The proposed development is consistent with Collier County LOS standards.
Solid Waste
The proposed project is estimated to generate the following amounts of solid waste.
LOS: 2 years of constructed lined cell capacity 555,384 Tons
Available cell capacity 3,935,561 Tons
Solid waste generation per year:
Residential multi-family:
Existing
33 x 0.64 x 2.5 = 52.8 tons/year
Proposed
41 x 0.64 x 2.5 = 65.6 tons/year
Total Solid Waste Generated Per Year = 65.6 tons
The project is consistent with Collier County LOS standards and will nave no negative impact to
the LOS standard.

President Joe Biden announced the
launch of a national database on Mon-
day to help hold law enforcement ac-
countable for misconduct in the wake
of the murder of George Floyd and na-
tional conversations about American
policing.
The president touted the database,
which will track serious misconduct by
federal law enforcement officers, as a
mechanism to help prevent bad hiring
decisions.
“This database will ensure that rec-
ords of serious misconduct by federal
law enforcement officers are readily
available to agencies considering hiring
those officers,” Biden said in a state-
ment.
The Biden administration commit-
ted to creating the database in a May
2022 executive order that marked the
two-year anniversary of the murder of
George Floyd by Minneapolis police of-
ficer Derek Chauvin, who held a knee
on Floyd’s neck for more than nine min-
utes. The killing sparked outrage across
the country and calls for police reform,
particularly around policing of Black
communities and other people of color.
The National Law Enforcement Ac-
countability Database or “NLEAD” will
track eight areas of behavior that the
administration classified as “serious
misconduct” by former and current
federal law enforcement officers over
the past seven years, according to the
Justice Department. Forms of serious
misconduct include using excessive
force, making false reports, engaging in
bias or discrimination, and sexual mis-
conduct. It will also include officer
commendations and awards.
“This database will give our law en-
forcement agencies an important new
tool for vetting and hiring officers and
agents that will help strengthen our ef-
forts to build and retain that trust,” At-
torney General Merrick Garland said in
a separate statement Monday.
The database won’t be searchable by
the public, but Justice Department em-
ployees and authorized users at other
federal law enforcement agencies will
ultimately get access, according to a
department official. The database cur-
rently includes Justice Department of-
ficers but will be expanded to include
other federal law enforcement “in the
coming months,” the official said.
The department said it will publish a
public report each year with aggregated
data that keeps law enforcement offi-
cers anonymous. It said it has also part-
nered with a police training association
to expand a national registry of decerti-
fication and revocation actions against
state and local law enforcement officers
as a way to encourage accountability
efforts in state and local agencies.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING TRANSCRIPT PETITIONS: PL20230011318 – Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict; and PL20230011319 – Palm River Corporate Housing RPUD Rezone SUMMARY: Wayne Arnold, representing Arthrex, introduces the project team and explains that the meeting is being held to discuss two land use applications in Collier County. The applications include a comprehensive plan amendment and a rezoning of the property. The intent of the project is to demolish existing condominium buildings and replace them with transitional corporate housing for Arthrex employees. The proposed development would increase the density of the property by eight units. The project team presents plans for the development, including a zoning master plan, landscape plan, and development standards. They also discuss the timeline for the project, which includes obtaining permits, working with county staff, and attending public hearings. The team addresses questions and concerns from attendees, including issues related to height, buffers, access to the property, and the impact on neighboring properties. The team emphasizes that public input is important and encourages attendees to participate in the public hearing process. They also provide contact information for further inquiries. TRANSCRIPT: Wayne Arnold: Good evening, everybody. I'm Wayne Arnold. I'm here with Grady Minor and Associates representing Arthrex and I'll introduce our project team before we get started. And we have Trent Lewis from Arthrex. He's here in the room. We have Rich Devon which is our legal counsel. Jim Banks is our traf�ic consultant. Jim Carr, I'm not sure where Jim went, but Jim's a civil engineer on the project and Sharon Umpenhour from our �irm is going to help with the recording of the meeting. So, this is a neighborhood information meeting for two land use applications in Collier County and we're required to hold neighborhood information meetings for them, and we're required to record those and create a transcript to provide to the county. So, we're here to talk about two applications. One is a comprehensive plan amendment. So, we're creating our own sub-district for the subject property. And then we're also rezoning the property from RMS-16 zoning to a residential PV. And the intent is to, I'm sure we need to, it's not advancing. Time out while- Richard Yovanovich: While you're �iguring out you want to introduce county staff. Wayne Arnold: Thank you. Appreciate that. So, the subject property is just a little bit over two acres. It currently has condominium buildings on the property. You can see its on Palm River Boulevard and just near Viking Way. Our intent is to demolish those existing condominiums and rebuild what we're calling transitional corporate housing. There's no de�inition for that in the county code, so we're going to be re�ining that de�inition with county staff as we go along. But the intent is to provide corporate housing for employees as they transition to our area, so they'll have a place to reside while they're seeking permanent housing.

We have to do a couple things to do that. Right now, the property allows a total of about 31 units we're looking to put... or 33 units. I'm sorry. We're looking to put 41 units on it, so we're asking for an eight unit increase in density, but that requires us to modify the comprehensive plan and the zoning for the property. So, those are the two applications that are under consideration, so we could build a total of 41 of these housing units. Future land use map change: we'll be changing the map and writing new subdistrict text. The text is shown here on the screen. I'm not going to go through all of that, but so this is intended to be corporate housing. What we've been talking to staff about is in the event that somehow the corporate housing component of this ends, there would be a commitment to provide those eight additional units as some form of affordable housing, but we don't expect that to occur. But for the foreseeable future, we expect that the demand's going to be there for the corporate housing. Arthrex and others in the community, I'm sure you all know Naples Community Hospital, the school district, Collier County Government, everybody's seeking a way to �ind employee housing, and this is Arthrex's attempt to have employee housing. We'll write the language so that if Arthrex can't ful�ill those 41 units, there might be an opportunity for NCH or some other close employer to also share in the bene�it of those units. We have to create a zoning master plan and the zoning master plan identi�ies the location of the L-shaped building where the number 1 is on that screen and the access to the site will remain from Palm River Boulevard to our south is the drainage canal. Go back to the aerial so everybody can see that. You can see that the canal is on the south side of the property and Palm River boulevards to the west, and then we're surrounded by golf course lakes to the east and another condominium project to the northeast. This is a little bit closer example showing you a little bit more the amenity for the site. They're going to be adding a pool to the south side of the project. What they're proposing is, you can see the parking spaces delineated under the building. That's proposed to be a four-story building over parking. Here's a part of the landscape plan that's been submitted to the county. It's part of the site plan review that Jim Carr and Agnoli Barber & Brundage have been working on, but you can see the landscaping treatments that are proposed. We have some water management features we're adding to the site and then, of course, putting in landscaping to enhance the building that's going to be constructed. As part of the proposed PUD, we have to establish development standards. I'm not going to go through all of those, but this would permit us to have the four-story over parking building, and then create setbacks that allow the building to function properly. In a nutshell, that's where we are. We've started the process and I'll just explain where we are. So, we've submitted both applications to the county. We've received some preliminary feedback from staff. We're in the process of addressing some of their comments. We're holding this Neighborhood Information Meeting. And then, the next step will be for us to continue to work with staff for the next month or so, hopefully, and then get scheduled for a Collier County Planning Commission hearing, and then they'll make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.

So that process, hopefully, can wrap up in the next several months for us. It's hard to predict, but hopefully that we can work through the process fairly quickly and easily. So those dates are to be determined for those public hearings. But if you receive notice for this meeting, you'll be receiving notice from Collier County Government. And if you live in the vicinity, you'll see the big four by eight zoning signs go up on the property once hearing dates have been established. Sharon Umpenhour: Last slide. Wayne Arnold: What's that, Sharon? Sorry. Sharon Umpenhour: Click to the last slide. Wayne Arnold: So, this has some other project information on it, if you want to take a screenshot of this or get one of Sharon's business cards for after. We'll update our information on our website as we continue to update and make submittals to Collier County, so everything that the county sees the public can see as well. It'll be here or if you feel more comfortable talking to Laura DeJohn or Parker Klopf, feel free to do that. I'm sure they'll make available their contact information. It's on the bottom of the screen here that Sharon's provided to us. So, with that, what we typically do is open it up if there are some question and answers. Sharon, I'm not sure if we have people that are online on Zoom, but the meeting's being broadcast on Zoom as well as here live. So, we'll take questions and answers from the room and because of the recording that's being taken for Zoom, we need you to be on a microphone. Sharon's got a portable microphone, and we'll get it in your hand. And then, if you can ask your question, then we can respond to it, that would be great. So, if you have a question in the room, just raise your hand and we'll get a microphone to you. Yes, sir. Tim Cannon: Just for the record my name's Tim Cannon. If you pull up a picture, the GIS picture that you had there. Wayne Arnold: Tell me when to stop. Tim Cannon: All right, one... Yeah, right there. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Tim Cannon: There are four white roofs you see just to the east and my unit is across from the pool that stares directly at this property. This property just for historical purposes was to be Phase 3. Our buildings were Phase 1. Across the street was Phase 2. Before he completed this Phase 3 on this property, he changed the plans and put up apartments. They're not condominiums; they're apartments. Since those apartments were occupied, we've had nothing but trouble. They have screened lanais in the back, and they look right down on our pool. We've had to grow

some landscape screening and whatnot through there. My question is what is the... I didn't see it in the materials. If it's there, I'm sorry, I just missed it, but what is the maximum height of a building that's allowed right now? Wayne Arnold: So, what we're proposing are buildings that are four stories over parking, we've set that standard at a zone height of 65 feet and an actual height of 75 feet. We're working with the project architect to try to re�ine that. We put those numbers in there as a holding place. They're still trying to work on the building design. Tim Cannon: I saw your proposal that you're 65 feet, but my question is what's the current height that is permitted as it's currently zoned? Wayne Arnold: The RMF-16 zoning allows a permitted height of 50 feet as a zoned height. That's not the maximum height, that's the zoned height. The county measures height in a couple of different ways, but the zoned height of 50 feet could actually be 60 feet, 65 feet, something taller, because it accounts for all roof structure, all elevator shafts, anything that's above the roof line. Tim Cannon: And I saw on the screen there, the minimum square footage of a unit is 650 feet? Wayne Arnold: Yes, that's what we established. It's been a pretty typical number that we've been using for apartments. I don't have a �loor plan to show you. They're still working with MHK Architecture to come up with an actual design for each of the �loors. My gut tells me that most of those units are going to exceed the 650 square feet, but that's the minimum that we've established for a square footage. Tim Cannon: I appreciate the concept of affordable housing. I understand the needs for it, and you get a density bonus of some kind under the current zoning I believe. But as I understand what's being proposed, this isn't going to bene�it �irst responders or teachers or nurses. It's going to bene�it Arthrex employees. Wayne Arnold: That is correct. The �irst interest here is for Arthrex employees. It's a recruiting tool and a way to retain employees for what is one of our area largest and private sector employers because we've all been around long enough to know that the housing issue is real. Whether you're a higher paid professional or a lower paid person that works in our community, it's hard to �ind housing regardless. And if you just moved here, it's hard to know where you want to reside, so this provides that transitional opportunity for their employees. Tim Cannon: Thanks. Wayne Arnold: Thank you. Sharon, I think there's a question over here on this side. Okay, thank you. Speaker 5: You answered it. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Thank you.

Laura DeJohn: Sorry. Wayne, this is Laura DeJohn on behalf of Collier County. And just to help answer that one question, I went on to look at RMF-16 height and the standard is 75- Wayne Arnold: Oh, I'm sorry. Laura DeJohn: ... feet for RMF-16. Wayne Arnold: You're right. I had that printed out right here. Laura DeJohn: Just wanted to correct that. Wayne Arnold: Thank you for correcting me on that. Sharon, right here. Thank you. Pat Lamb: Hi, my name is Pat Lamb. On one of your samples there it said, "No buffer when it faces Palm View Drive." We're right behind that house. We get spotlights all the time and there's not going to be a buffer there towards the river. We're right across the river. Wayne Arnold: Yes. We're talking to staff about that. The way we interpret the code because it's a canal right of way, that there would be no buffer required. Staff has questioned that, and Jim Carr and his group are looking at the buffering required for that section, or if there's going to be a buffer. You can see on the landscape plan that we prepared, there's a right way. You can see that we've got some of the shrubs and buffering adjacent to the south side of the building. Pat Lamb: Yes. But I can tell you on those buildings right now, right over the garages, they have spotlights that come across into the �irst villas we have, and I just think you should consider a buffer on that. Wayne Arnold: We're certainly looking at that. That's a question that staff had that we are addressing. Thank you. Speaker 8: I'm on the Zoom, can you hear me? I have a question. Wayne Arnold: Yes, we can hear you. Speaker 8: When do you plan to demolish the property? Wayne Arnold: They're talking about when they can get the permits to do that. Right now, I don't know what the status of the permit to do that, but it's the intent to take the buildings down sooner than later. Speaker 8: And out of curiosity, why aren't you keeping the current buildings as is? Because they're pretty nice inside. Wayne Arnold: I haven't been inside the building, but the intent here is obviously they're going to expand the footprint of the building and make it to accommodate 41 units, rather than the dozen or so units that are in the current building.

Speaker 8: I was just curious. I used to live in the building myself. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Thank you. Patrick Lewins: Yes. Sorry. My name is Patrick Lewins. I'm the superintendent of LaPlaya Golf Course, which abuts the proposed development. I have two questions, �irst being, if you could return to the GIS map, please for me? Wayne Arnold: Sure. Patrick Lewins: Keep going. Right. Well go back to the previous one, sorry, the one that's a little bit closer up. This one. So, you have the bridge there and then directly after the bridge, there is a path along the canal bank to the right, which would be going east. We receive ef�luent irrigation water from the county and the pipe is in that area along with the electric service from the main trunk that's on the road that feeds our pump station, which is if you continue on that gravel road further east out of the frame, which is another 200 yards or so. Because we have a building there with pumps and switch gear and all kinds of stuff in there, would that access be preserved - the access that we currently have to that gravel road which runs along the canal there? Speaker 10: I think that's owned by the county. Wayne Arnold: I think I'd like Jim Carr who's the design engineer to try to respond to that, if you don't mind? Jim Carr: Okay. Wayne Arnold: Jim, you can either come up here or you can talk from there. Jim Carr: I got it. Wayne Arnold: It's not advancing again. Jim Carr: The answer is yes that road will be preserved. There's a 30-foot utility easement that Collier County has the rights to. So, there's an access that you mentioned coming off the road and then there's a dirt path that runs back to the gate. Patrick Lewins: So that we have currently a chain link double gate, which was a four-foot double gate that cuts off where our property begins on the property line. So that gate could remain there, or it could remain, or new fencing may be put up. But however, it turns out, the gate will still be there. Right. But as long as in the event that something would happen to our pumps so we could get in there with a truck and drive. It wouldn't be frequent by any stretch of the imagination.

Jim Carr: But we don't have the ability to construct anything in that 30-foot easement, so it's going to have to remain �lat. It can be paved, it can be grasped, but those structures will be in there. Patrick Lewins: Well, that was the �irst part of my question, which is that's great. Thank you. And then, if you could go to the proposed building? Yeah, the �inished look. This one right here. We have a cart path which runs between those buildings, so there is a southernmost building. The southernmost and the middle building, we have a cart path that runs through where we currently have an easement through there. We also have a water line, like a main line irrigation pipe, that runs directly under that cart path and connects to the other side of the road to feed those holes that are on that side of the road. So, in this proposed... that is currently a straight line between the entrance, correct, to between Palm River Boulevard and heading east. This does not propose that. So, what are we going to do with our water in this scenario here, is how are we going to get the water from the back part of that property to the front basically through the property into the other side? Jim Carr: So yes, we'll need to run that pipe in the same alignment as the new path, so we'd have to relocate the path and the easement as well as the pipe. It could go back under the new path or just outside of it. Patrick Lewins: And that would be... The main concern there is when that's done, obviously we don't have any water. We have to shut the water off. So, you would, I'm assuming, be very proactive in communicating your timetable when all this stuff would happen? Jim Carr: Yes. The new pipe would have to be put in ahead of time and then connected over when the other one's going to be abandoned. Patrick Lewins: That would really probably have to be before you guys even demolished the buildings because the pipe is in-between the buildings. So, I don't know what your process of demo is. Jim Carr: Yes. We can work out those details that we can work with you as we get to that point. Wayne Arnold: All right. Jim Carr: Thank you for bringing that up. Wayne Arnold: Anybody else have a question or comment? Speaker 11: Thank you. So currently, the Collier County School District has a bus stop there on site right over the bridge, so I'm just curious if that's going to be relocated to a different spot? Wayne Arnold: I'll ask Jim to come back [inaudible 00:20:10].

Speaker 11: It's a dangerous spot honestly right now, so it'd be almost helpful if they put it in a different direction, but just curious about that. Jim Carr: The bridge that's there now and the sidewalk will remain right there. And as you come over the bridge, the current driveway is in approximately the same location as the proposed one. So, I'm not sure exactly where they sit. I agree it's probably not a great location. Speaker 11: They just hang out on the driveway area at the moment or just on the grass or so. The bus, it's a little tricky because of the intersection. They used to have to go down Palm River Boulevard back up and come down Viking. Now they stop, pick people up, and then go down Viking. Jim Carr: So, the driveway will be in the same location as the existing [inaudible 00:21:06]. Speaker 11: Will there be anything done with that intersection, or everything will remain the same as far as the lanes and everything? Jim Carr: Yes, everything else will remain the same. It'll just be a little bit larger driveway. Still going to have an intersection. And that's Viking Way on the bottom? Speaker 11: Yeah. And then, where the right of way goes for the golf crossing there, that will just have the stripes on the road or will there be any kind of signal or anything for the carts to cross, or a push button or thing or anything like that? Jim Carr: At this time, we don't have any plan to change it. It will realign a little bit just to point it in the same direction as where the new path will be, but it's at the same location. I know currently there's some old signage out there. I think it'll probably need to be replaced with something newer and more up to code. Speaker 11: And then, last question is, who will be managing the... Or you can have a cam that'll be managing the building and the leasing and all that stuff? Or what's that plan look like? Wayne Arnold: I can let Trent come up and answer that if I don't get it right, but the intent is that these are not really going to be leased to Arthrex employees. Arthrex employees will be allowed to live there at minimum 30 days. Sometimes those get extended to six months. They currently own and manage some other properties for this occurring around the county, but those aren't intended to be lease properties to anybody other than their employees at this point. Thank you. Sharon, question. Speaker 12: Do you know if this is going to be before or after the water renewal project that's going on? I know Grady Minor's involved with too, but are they going to do the work there, then demolish everything and then that whole intersection, which is critical going to be- Wayne Arnold: Jim's been coordinating that. Speaker 12: ... a war zone for the next year?

Wayne Arnold: Well, that's a multiphase project, the water reclamation program. Jim Carr: Right. Currently, the county's working up in the north end of Palm River and then they think they'll be here in probably two years, maybe year-and-a-half to two years. So, we should have all our work complete by then, but we're keeping that. Keeping in consideration that they will be coming back, they'll probably tear up the roads and the open areas to put in water and sewer. They'll probably put new gravity sewer in and new water mains in, so we are [inaudible 00:23:42] we should be done, but by the time they get into this area. Yes, ma'am? Speaker 13: That order, the order of them should be recently because they're going to do line section, I think starting in the summer, but my concern is that it's just going to be a non-stop construction at the intersection for three years or so. Wayne Arnold: Yeah, we should be done by the time they get into this area. Yes ma'am. Alicia Andrews: My name's Alicia Andrews. We're just seasonal residents in Palm River and these are very frivolous questions I have compared to the other ones. My �irst is, do you have any pictures of what the proposal is that they'll look like aesthetically from the street or the rear, like the frontage of the buildings? Wayne Arnold: No, we don't unfortunately tonight. MHK Architecture is the design architect working on the project. There were some very basic images shown as part of a site plan with the county, but they're not the �inished elevations for the project, so those are still under development. Alicia Andrews: My second question is totally sel�ish, but it sounds like a lot of people obviously would like things not to change because it's really quiet back there. Will there be any amenities that perhaps some of us in the community might be able to use a playground or a pickleball court or the pool? Wayne Arnold: I think the answer is no. Alicia Andrews: I �igured. Wayne Arnold: It's intended for the Arthrex folks that will be residing in the property. Thank you for the questions. Sharon, there's another question right back there. Joanie: Hi. My name is Joanie and I also reside in the Palm River Apartments where the pool is there or the condos, but my question is... I didn't understand the term of the people that are be staying in the units. It's very short-term or it's permanent housing? Wayne Arnold: It is not permanent housing. We call it transitional corporate housing. I wouldn't say it's a standard industry term, but it's a growing term because a lot of businesses are looking to �ind their own employee housing. Naples Community Hospital, when I �irst moved to town, had multiple apartment buildings around the hospital where they put up doctors, nurses, other visiting people

for lengths of time. This is intended to be... I mean the shorter-term rental would be maybe a 30-day stay if somebody comes and needs housing. It can be six months. I know in some cases Trent has told us that working with somebody who might be under construction on a home, and they need even more time just to get the �inal CO. So, this is housing for their folks to have as a place to transition into permanent housing. Joanie: It could be anywhere from individuals to families, the whole gamut? Wayne Arnold: Yes, it could be. Joanie: Thank you. Wayne Arnold: Anybody else - questions? We'll let the lady behind you go �irst. Wendy Klopf: Hi, my name's Wendy Klopf and I'm a resident of Flame Vine Drive. I have a couple questions regarding the bus stop like the other gentlemen. Where is the construction traf�ic going to come in and out? Because if the children or the kids waiting for the bus at six, seven, and eight o'clock in the morning are in that driveway, is the construction traf�ic, the workers or the dump trucks, coming in and out the same driveway? Wayne Arnold: Jim, do you have any idea? Do you want to try to address that? We do have two driveways on the site. I think we can help coordinate during construction activities to not con�lict with school bus stuff. Wendy: And also, in the afternoon at two, three, and four o'clock they'll be dropping off students. So, throughout the day, there'll be at least six buses dropping off students and them walking around those areas. So, for their safety and the employees, if they're leaving, obviously they don't want to hit anybody either. Wayne Arnold: Sure. And we may have students that are residing there as well. Wendy: Yes. My other question is, are these units one-bedroom single SROs? Are they two-bedroom, three bedroom? Wayne Arnold: I think it's going to be a full range of those possibilities, just to accommodate the differences and what people's needs will be. Wendy: And then, my third question, so once you demolish, you're going to have multiple trucks trucking in and out the debris out the village? Wayne Arnold: I'm assuming so. I'm not involved in the demolition process, but typically, it's going to not take that long to demolish the buildings that are there, and then they'll be waiting for other permits to catch up so they can stage new construction on site. Wendy: And then the load of the dump trucks is allowable on all the bridges? Wayne Arnold: It should be. I mean, they're all county roads and they should be constructed to a standard that allows dump trucks and other equipment.

Wendy: Those are my questions. Thank you. Wayne Arnold: All right. Thank you, Wendy. Paul Pauza: Thank you. My name is Paul Pauza and I live directly across the river from this project. I'm concerned with the height of the building. What's the height of the building right now and what's the height of the new proposed building? Wayne Arnold: I don't know the height of the existing buildings exactly. Paul: I think you should know the height of the building. Wayne Arnold: Well, the answer is that the zoning that's in place is RMF-16 zoning. It allows a height of 75 feet as you heard the county con�irm. It doesn't mean that you couldn't rebuild something there today under that same standard, so 75 feet is the height that's allowed there today. Paul: I know, but I do not have any way of telling how big that building is or how tall the building is, and I think that that's some kind of data that you should have available. Now when I look out my back window, if I'm going to look at a 65-foot structure, this building looks like it's going to be maybe 100 feet from my house, or my property and the existing buildings are maybe 200 feet away from my property. So, I'm going to be looking at... and we don't even have a picture of what it's supposed to look like. Wayne Arnold: No, we do not yet. I'm sorry. And this is part of the due review process? Paul: What's the answer? Wayne Arnold: The answer is we don't have an image of the actual building and I don't know the actual height of the building that's there today, but the zoning would allow the building to be demolished and reconstructed at 75 feet. Paul: Right. Now, how many cars of parking do you have underneath the building? Wayne Arnold: Do you know the answer? Kind of a breakdown? Jim Carr: About 30, 38 or so. Paul: And how many are outside the building? Jim Carr: About 45. Paul: Okay. Wouldn't it be nice if they could take the cars and put a little bit more outside parking, and then lower the height of the building? If it goes to be as high as the hospital,

I really don't think I would like to look at a building as high as a hospital. And this is not a hospital, this is something that's supposed to be part of a residential neighborhood. Wayne Arnold: The standard that we've proposed for the building height is consistent with what's allowed under the zoning today. It's actually lower by the zone height than we proposed. Paul: Pardon me, sir? Richard Yovanovich: It's actually lower. Wayne Arnold: It's actually lower by the zone height than we've proposed. Paul Pauza: Pardon me, sir. Richard Yovanovich: Right now, we can go to seventy-�ive feet zone, we're only asking for sixty-�ive feet zone. So, we're asking to reduce the height for what we can build today. Paul Pauza: So, the maximum, the absolute top would be lower than sixty-�ive? Will not be above sixty-�ive plus all the other stuff on top? Wayne Arnold: Hang on sir, hang on. Richard Yovanovich: And right now, we could do seventy-�ive plus. Paul Pauza: Sure. Compared to what it is today. Wayne Arnold: Sir, can we get a microphone because this is bouncing all over. Richard Yovanovich: That's my fault. Wayne Arnold: Can we get a microphone because this is bouncing all over the place on the recording. The answer is, from a building height standpoint, I understand the buildings that are there today are not 65 feet. They're not 75 feet. I don't know their exact height, but the zoning code that's in place today would've allowed whomever developed the property initially or now, if Arthrex hadn't come along and proposed a change, to still build a building 75 feet zone height, which means that building would likely exceed 75 feet total height or an actual height as the county measures it. What we've proposed is a zoned height of 65 feet with an actual height of 75 feet, so our maximum height that we're proposing only achieves the zone height that's allowed today. And just for your information, the hospital is over 100 feet tall. Paul Pauza: For sure? Wayne Arnold: Absolute positive. Paul Pauza: Okay. Well, we might have trouble with the helicopters too if it's too high as they're coming into the hospital. One other thing... No, that's okay, thank you very much.

Wayne Arnold: No, thank you. Alan Findlay: Hello, Alan Findlay also with LaPlaya Golf Club and this follows on with what Wendy was asking earlier on. The demolition timetable, I heard it was imminent. Wayne Arnold: Jim, do you know any more about that? I know that they've been anxious to try to get in and get the demolition permits. I don't know what the schedule is for demolition, but I think that the intent would be to go ahead and get the site cleared, so construction can commence as soon as all the other permits would be secured. Jim Carr: I think, like you said, dependent on obtaining the permit. I don't know what the exact start date would be, but probably sometime this year. Alan Findlay: We prefer the summertime. Jim Carr: That's what I think is planned. Alan Findlay: And then once everything has been approved, what do you anticipate is the construction timetable, and when would it be? Jim Carr: I don't think I know that answer right now, but it does take several months, maybe even a full year, from beginning to end, the whole project. Alan Findlay: For approvals or the construction? Jim Carr: Well, we have to obtain the approvals, which would likely be around the summertime, and so construction may start as soon as then. Alan Findlay: In the summer? Jim Carr: It's all dependent on when we obtain the zoning and the permits. Alan Findlay: Thank you. Jim Carr: Thanks. Speaker 8: Is this project for sure happening or is there still possibilities? Wayne Arnold: I'm sorry, you broke up there, ma'am. Could you repeat that? Speaker 8: Is this project for sure happening or are there still possibilities? Wayne Arnold: The project is a proposal at this point. We have to go through the public hearing process with Collier County. We don't prejudge, but we hope the County Commission will ultimately approve it, but we still have to go through those public hearings. There'll be public input allowed at those two public hearings. Anybody else? Anything else? I see a lady in the back, Sharon.

Alicia Andrews: Just so I understand it clearly, it's not happening for sure, but we probably don't stand a chance that it won't happen. Correct? Wayne Arnold: Well, I don't think I would say it that way. Public input is sought for a reason, and you're appointed of�icials with the County Planning Commission and staff and the Board of County Commissioners, they appreciate public input. They work really hard to try to �ind solutions and if there are things that can be accommodated in your request, they'll ask us if we can do those and hopefully, we can. If we can't, we honestly tell you we can't do that like allowing you to use the pool is probably an answer that's a non-starter, but just a hunch. Alicia Andrews: We could show up and- Wayne Arnold: You absolutely can. You'll get notice for public hearings, and you are encouraged to show up. If you can't, you can send an email or write a letter. Speaker 12: This is the only NIM, right? Wayne Arnold: This is the only required Neighborhood Information Meeting, yes. Speaker 12: Is it possible to get when there is a �inal design, or at least a nearer design, to have that rendering shared out or distributed? Or "Here it is today, here's what it looks like today and here's what it's going to look like," so we can see that and maybe these people can see it from their point of view, their house too, so they get a realistic view? Wayne Arnold: Yeah. I think our goal will be by the time we have our Planning Commission Public Hearing, that we'll have some realistic images of what this building is intended to look like. Speaker 12: That'd great. Patrick Lewins: All right. Patrick Lewins again - LaPlaya Golf Club. I heard you say, or somebody say demolition was imminent. Is that the case? Wayne Arnold: I think the intent to get the permit to demolish is underway. Patrick Lewins: My only... or our only concern that we have is with that cart path that we have going through there, there's people driving through there. What accommodations would be made during that process to safely get our people from one side to the other? Wayne Arnold: I would recommend that you all exchange contact information, you and Jim Carr. Patrick Lewins: Okay. Jim Carr: Yeah, we can help coordinate that. The contractor will pull that permit and do the work, but I know what you're saying. You've got a pathway people run through there, you've got push [inaudible 00:37:51] on both sides. You don't want to disturb.

Patrick Lewins: That was the thing with the water too. As soon as you put a track hoe on that car path, that water line is destroyed. So, all that kind of stuff, just not that one day a bulldozer shows up out of the blue and all of a sudden, we're cut off there. Jim Carr: Understood. Wayne Arnold: Any other comments/questions? Was there another question back there, Sharon, or no? No? All right. Well, if not, I appreciate everybody coming out and, like you said, contact information, I'll put it back up again if you...

REQUESTED ACTION:
The petitioner requests that the Collier County Planning Commission consider rezoning +2.06
acres from Residential Multifamily–16 (RMF-16) Zoning District to Residential Planned Unit
Development (RPUD) for the Palm River Corporate Housing RPUD to allow for the development
of up to 41 multifamily rental units, with commitment that eight rental units will be restricted to
households whose incomes are less than 100% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Collier
County for 30 years should the property no longer be used entirely for Transitional Corporate
Housing.
A companion Growth Management Plan (GMP) Amendment is requested (GMPA-
PL20230011318) to remove the property from the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Residential
Subdistrict and designate it as Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict within the
Urban Mixed Use District. A Utility Easement Vacation (VAC-PL20240002369) request is also
in process with final determination by the BCC.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION:
The property is located approximately 0.5 miles north of the intersection of Palm River Boulevard
and Immokalee Road, on the east side of Palm River Boulevard, within Section 23, Township 48
South, Range 25 East, Collier County, Florida. (See location map below)
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The site is located approximately 0.5 miles north of the intersection of Palm River Boulevard and
Immokalee Road on the east side of Palm River Boulevard. The site is 2.06+ acres, identified as
Parcel No. 65372280001, within the Palm River Estates (Unit 4) subdivision. The site is developed
with 12 residential units in three buildings constructed in 1989. The existing building addresses are
208, 210, and 212 Palm River Boulevard.
The maximum number of units allowed on the site per the current Residential Multifamily–16 (RMF-
16) zoning district is 16 units per acre, which equates to 33 units. The petitioner seeks eight more
units than currently allowed, which requires the companion GMP Amendment.
The proposed rezoning to Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) is intended to allow
redevelopment of the site with up to 41 dwelling units, which calculates to a density of +19.9 units

per acre. The proposed maximum building height is 65 feet (zoned) and 75 feet (actual) for a five-
story multifamily apartment building with parking and office space on Level 1 and apartments on
Levels 2 through 5. The maximum zoned height in the RMF-16 district is 75 feet, and the requested
height conforms to this maximum. Because the requested density exceeds the allowable density per
the GMP, a companion GMP Amendment is requested (GMPA-PL20230011318) to establish the
Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict within the Urban Mixed Use District on the
Future Land Use Map, with a text change to the Future Land Use Element to allow the proposed
density of +19.9 units per acre on the site.
The PUD Master Plan depicts the two existing access points along Palm River Boulevard will
remain. School children currently use a school bus stop near the southern driveway into the site
(opposite Viking Way), and this is proposed to remain. A golf cart path currently traverses the
middle of the site in an easement, and the path and easement are proposed to be relocated to conform
to the new building placement. A County Utility Easement is also proposed to be vacated subject to
BCC approval (VAC-PL20240002369).
The petitioner commits to providing some affordable housing should the property no longer be used
entirely for Transitional Corporate Housing. For purposes of this PUD, the petitioner defines
Transitional Corporate Housing as the temporary rental for no less than 30 days of a furnished
apartment or condominium to employees working in Collier County for companies located in Collier
County. Should the property no longer be used entirely for Transitional Corporate Housing, the
petitioner commits eight dwelling units to be income restricted and rented to individuals or families
having incomes at or below the 100% Area Median Income (AMI) for Collier County. These units
will be committed for a period of 30 years from the date the property ceases to be utilized for
Transitional Corporate Housing, and the managing entity will notify the county manager or designee
in writing.
Two deviations from the Land Development Code (LDC) are proposed:
1. To allow no additional parking for on-site recreation facilities; and
2. To allow a reduction in required open space from 60% to 50% of the site.
For additional information, see the deviations discussion section of this staff report on page 16.
In addition to the companion GMPA-PL20230011318 and Utility Easement Vacation (VAC-
PL20240002369), a Site Development Plan (SDP-PL20230015865), Demolition Permit
(PRDM20240834775), and Building Permit (PRMFH20240832690) are also in process for this
project.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The 2.06+/- acre subject site has a Future Land Use designation
of Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict. The purpose of this subdistrict is to
provide for higher densities in an area with fewer natural resource constraints and where existing
and planned public facilities are concentrated. Maximum eligible residential density shall be
determined through the Density Rating System but shall not exceed 16 dwelling units per acre
except in accordance with the Transfer of Development Rights Section of the Land Development
Code.
A Future Land Use Map change is also being requested in the companion Growth Management
Plan Amendment (PL20230011318) to remove it from the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban
Residential Subdistrict and designate it as Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict
within the Urban Mixed Use District.
The proposed density is 19.9 dwelling units per acre (41 units/2.06+/- acres), which exceeds the
allowable density. As such, this PUD petition may only be deemed consistent with the Future Land
Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP if the companion GMPA (PL20230011318) is approved and
goes into effect and the uses and intensities in this PUD align with those in the GMPA.
Transportation Element: In evaluating this project, staff reviewed the applicant’s November 1,
2023 TIS and the PUD Document for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element
of the Growth Management Plan (GMP).
Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP states;
“The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications,
conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible developmen t,
with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall
not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway
segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment
that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway
segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to
operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning
period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application
has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following
occur:
a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume;
b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is
equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and
c. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point
where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume.
Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant
and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project’s significant
impacts on all roadways.”

Staff finding: According to the TIS and PUD document, the proposed development is requesting
41 multifamily residential units. There are currently 12 multifamily units constructed on the
parcel. The TIS for this request indicates that the proposed development will generate +/- 16 PM
peak hour trips on the adjacent road network. This represents a net increase of +/- 10 PM peak
hour trips over the existing +/- 6 PM peak hour trips generated by this development. The number
of new trips generated represents a de minimis impact (less than 1%) on the adjacent road network.
Because this development has a de minimis impact on the adjacent roadways, the request can be
found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME): The environmental review staff
has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element
(CCME). The project site is 2.06+ acres and has been cleared; no preservation is required.
GMP Conclusion: The GMP is the prevailing document to support land use decisions, such as
this proposed rezoning. Staff is required to make a recommendation regarding a finding of
consistency or inconsistency with the overall GMP as part of the recommendation for approval ,
approval with conditions, or denial of any rezoning petition.
This petition cannot be approved until the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect with
an effective date linked to the effective date of the companion GMPA.
STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of this land use petition,
including the criteria upon which a recommendation must be based, specifically noted in LDC
Section 10.02.13.B.5, Planning Commission Recommendation (referred to as the “PUD
Findings”), and Section 10.02.08.F, Nature of Requirements of Planning Commission Report
(referred to as “Rezone Findings”), which establish the legal basis to support the CCPC’s
recommendation. An evaluation relative to these subsections is discussed below under the heading
“Zoning Services Analysis.”
Environmental Review: Environmental Services staff has reviewed the petition to address
environmental concerns. The property has been developed and maintained clear of native
vegetation required to be preserved. No listed animal species were observed on the property. The
Master Plan does not show a preserve because no minimum preservation is required.
Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition for compliance
with the GMP and the LDC and recommends approval.
Landscape Review: The buffers labeled on the PUD Master Plan are consistent with the LDC.
Utility Review: The project lies within the regional potable water service area and the North Collier
wastewater service area of the Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD). The project
already receives CCWSD water and wastewater services. Sufficient water and wastewater
treatment capacities are available.
Any improvements to the CCWSD’s water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient
capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed
to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utility acceptance.

Housing Policy & Economic Development Review: The petitioner proposes to build 41 residential
units on 2.06 acres at a density of 19.9 units per acre. To achieve the requested density, approval
of the accompanying Growth Management Plan Amendment is required. It is Board of County
Commissioners policy to require residential density increases through growth management plan
amendments to provide a minimum of 30% affordable housing (with 15% addressing the housing
needs of households at the 80% AMI level and 15% addressing the housing needs of households
at the 100% AMI level).
Staff recognizes that this site is currently zoned RMF-16, upon which 33 residential units could be
constructed today. Therefore, staff recommends that as a condition of approval, 30% (12 of the
41) of the residential units be restricted to households up to and including the 100% AMI level.
These units should be restricted for 30 years from the time of the development.
For reference, the income and rent limits for apartment units at the 100% AMI levels are as
follows…
This will broaden the spectrum of employees being accommodated in the transitional housing by
setting aside twelve (12) units for those earning up to and including 100% AMI.
Zoning Services Review: Zoning Division staff has evaluated the proposed uses related to intensity
and compatibility. The density of the proposed development is 19.9 units per acre (41 units on 2.06
acres), which exceeds the allowable density of 16 units per acre and can only be achieved if the
companion GMP Amendment (PL20230011318) is approved.
The subject site lies in a unique location of the larger Palm River subdivision because this location
is where three properties are subject to the highest density designation of RMF-16 zoning district
in the Palm River neighborhood. No other planned unit developments are in the vicinity. The
neighborhood is primarily zoned RSF-3 Single Family and GC-Golf Course, with RMF-6 zoning
nearby to the south and RMF-12 zoning toward Immokalee Road.
The proposed five-story multifamily residential development is more intense than the surrounding
development pattern. The two-story condominium complex to the north, River Royale
Apartments, was established in 1979 and constructed at a density of ±6 units per acre (16 units on
2.67 acres). To the west across Palm River Boulevard is Palm Royal Apartments, a two-story
condominium complex established in 1978, constructed at a density of ±8.5 units per acre (20 units

on 2.34 acres). Single family residential dwellings zoned RSF-3 are located to the west across
Palm River Boulevard. Duplex and two-story quadplex dwellings are to the south, zoned RMF-6.
To the southeast toward Immokalee Road are two-story and three-story condominium
developments zoned RMF-12.
Although the proposed development is more intense than the existing uses in the vicinity, the
proposed multifamily use and proposed height are consistent with the currently applicable zoning
district. The RMF-16 zoning district allows for a density of up to 16 units per acre and a zoned
height of up to 75 feet. The proposed PUD will have a gross density of 19.9 per acre, which results
in 8 more dwelling units than allowed by current zoning. The petitioner proposes a maximum
zoned building height of 65 feet and a maximum actual height of 75 feet; the building is proposed
as a five-story multifamily apartment building with parking and office space on Level 1 and
apartments on Levels 2 through 5. The petitioner’s justification for requested Deviation #1
suggests that recreational amenities may be located at the rooftop level. Staff recommends that
amenities not be located on the rooftop to avoid the imposition of rooftop activities and associated
noise on the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The RMF-16 minimum setbacks are 50% the height of the building for the front yard (but not less
than 30 feet), 50% the height of the building for the side yard (but not less than 15 feet), and 50%
the height of the building for the rear yard (but not less than 30 feet). Per the Development
Standards Table I in Exhibit B of the draft Ordinance (Attachment A), the proposed minimum
front yard setback is 30 feet (the conventional LDC requirement is 50% of 65 feet or 32.5 feet),
minimum side yard is 15 feet (the conventional LDC requirement would be 32.5 feet), and
minimum rear yard is 15 feet (the conventional LDC requirement would be 32.5 feet).
The petitioner defines Transitional Corporate Housing as “the temporary rental for no less than
30 days of a furnished apartment or condominium to employees working in Collier County for
companies located in Collier County.” Should the property no longer be used entirely for
Transitional Corporate Housing, a commitment is included in Exhibit F of the Draft Ordinance
(Attachment A) to provide eight income restricted rental units (19.5% of total units) for individuals
or families with incomes at or below the 100% Area Median Income (AMI) for Collier County for
30 years. Staff recommends that the petitioner provide at least 30% of the transitional corporate
housing units for those earning up to and including 100% AMI.
The current designation of the site as RMF-16 entitles higher density and taller structures than
most of the surrounding neighborhood. The petitioner seeks to increase the density further through
a GMP Amendment and PUD rezoning to allow 19.9 units per acre. This alters the mix of zoning
that is established within the neighborhood.
The petitioner seeks a deviation to allow 50% of the total area of the site as open space, which is
less than the required minimum 60% open space that must be provided for residential only PUDs
per LDC Section 4.07.02 G.1. The petitioner indicates that the size of the parcel and proposed
scale of the building limits the amount of usable open space that can be provided on-site, and that
meeting the 60% usable open space standard would render the site unusable for buildings at the
proposed height. The minimum 60% open space requirement could be achieved with a smaller
building footprint or a reduction in number of units and corresponding parking spaces.

The increased density could be designed compatibly in the context of the neighborhood if
developed in adherence to the RMF-16 development standards governing height and setbacks.
Staff recommends the project maintain the minimum front, side, and rear yard setbacks per the
LDC standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned building height, or 32.5 feet.
The petitioner’s justification for requested Deviation #1 suggests that recreational amenities may
be located at the rooftop level. Staff also recommends that amenities not be located on the rooftop
to avoid the imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
CONCURRENT LANUD USE APPLICATIONS:
In addition to the companion GMPA-PL20230011318 and Utility Easement Vacation (VAC-
PL20240002369), a Site Development Plan (SDP-PL20230015865), Demolition Permit
(PRDM20240834775), and Building Permit (PRMFH20240832690) are also in process for this
project.
PUD FINDINGS:
LDC Section 10.02.13.B.5 states, “In support of its recommendation, the CCPC shall make
findings as to the PUD Master Plan’s compliance with the following criteria in addition to the
findings in LDC Section 10.02.08.”
1. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in relation
to physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access, drainage,
sewer, water, and other utilities.
The 2.06+/- acre project with 41 dwelling units for Transitional Corporate Housing at a
density of 19.9 dwelling units per acre is higher density than the existing low-rise single
family and multifamily residential development pattern in the vicinity.
The current designation of the site as RMF-16 entitles higher density and taller structures
than most of the surrounding neighborhood. The petitioner seeks to increase the density
further through a GMP Amendment and PUD rezoning to allow 19.9 units per acre. This
alters the mix of zoning established within the neighborhood. The increased density could
be designed compatibly in the context of the neighborhood if developed in adherence to
the RMF-16 development standards governing height and setbacks. Staff recommends
the project maintain the minimum front, side, and rear yard setbacks per the LDC
standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned building height, or 32.5
feet. Staff also recommends that amenities not be located on the rooftop to avoid the
imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
Transportation Planning staff determined the access points and de minimis level of traffic
are acceptable, and utilities are available to the site.
The project already receives CCWSD water and wastewater services. There are adequate
water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the project. A sanitary sewer utility
easement is proposed to be vacated subject to BCC approval (VAC-PL20240002369). Any

improvements to the CCWSD’s water or wastewater systems necessary to provide
sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer
and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utility
acceptance.
2. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements,
contracts, or other instruments or for amendments in those proposed, particularly as
they may relate to arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing operation
and maintenance of such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or maintained
at public expense.
Documents submitted with the application were reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office
and demonstrate unified control.
3. Conformity of the proposed Planned Unit Development with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the [GMP].
Comprehensive Planning staff finds that the proposed PUD will only be consistent with
the GMP upon adoption of the companion GMP Amendment (GMP PL20230011318) to
designate the site as the Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict within the
Urban Mixed Use District.
4. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may include
restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering and
screening requirements.
The buffers labeled on the PUD Master Plan are consistent with the LDC. A 15-foot wide
Type B buffer is proposed on the southeastern project boundary facing the water and
Cocohatchee Club, a condominium consisting of 20 units zoned RMF-6. A 10-foot-wide
Type D buffer is proposed on the west boundary abutting Palm River Boulevard; a 10-foot-
wide Type A buffer is proposed on the north and northeast boundary adjacent to River
Royale Condo zoned RMF-16; and no buffer is proposed on the east boundary abutting the
golf course.
The current designation of the site as RMF-16 entitles higher density and taller structures
than most of the surrounding neighborhood. The petitioner seeks to increase the density
further through a GMP Amendment and PUD rezoning to allow 19.9 units per acre. This
alters the mix of zoning that is established within the neighborhood. The increased density
could be designed compatibly in the context of the neighborhood if developed in adherence
to the RMF-16 development standards governing height and setbacks. Staff recommends
the project maintain the minimum front, side, and rear yard setbacks per the LDC
standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned building height, or 32.5
feet. Staff also recommends that amenities not be located on the rooftop to avoid the
imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the surrounding residential
neighborhood.

13 September 2024
5. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the
development.
The petitioner seeks a deviation to allow 50% of the total area of the site as open space,
which is less than the required minimum 60% open space that must be provided for
residential only PUDs per LDC Section 4.07.02 G.1. The petitioner indicates that the size
of the parcel and proposed scale of the building limits the amount of usable open space that
can be provided onsite, and that meeting the 60% usable open space standard would render
the site unusable for buildings at the proposed height. The minimum 60% open space
requirement could be achieved with a smaller building footprint or a reduction in number
of units and corresponding parking spaces.
6. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of assuring the adequacy of
available improvements and facilities, both public and private.
The roadway infrastructure will continue to be sufficient to serve the proposed project, as
noted in the Transportation Element consistency review. Operational impacts are addressed
through the pending Site Development Plan review process (SDP-PL20230015865).
The project already receives CCWSD water and wastewater services. There are adequate
water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the project. Any improvements to the
CCWSD’s water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve
the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the
CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utility acceptance.
The proposed development must comply with all applicable concurrency management
regulations when development approvals are sought, including but not limited to any plats
and or site development plans.
7. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion.
The subject property is proposed to accommodate 41 dwelling units. The area has adequate
infrastructure to accommodate this project. Expansion is not feasible beyond the proposed
PUD perimeter because the property is bounded by a waterway, roadway, and existing
development.
8. Conformity with PUD regulations, or as to desirable modifications of such regulations
in the particular case, based on determination that such modifications are justified as
meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such
regulations.
Two deviations are requested from the LDC in connection with this request to rezone to
RPUD. See the deviations section of the staff report beginning on page 16.

REZONE FINDINGS:
LDC Subsection 10.02.08 F. states, “When pertaining to the rezoning of land, the report and
recommendations to the planning commission to the Board of County Commissioners…shall show
that the planning commission has studied and considered proposed change in relation to the
following when applicable.”
1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, & policies of
the Future Land Use Map and the elements of the GMP.
Comprehensive Planning staff finds that the proposed PUD will only be consistent with
the GMP upon adoption of the companion GMP Amendment (GMP PL20230011318) to
designate the site as the Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict within the
Urban Mixed Use District.
2. The existing land use pattern.
The surrounding land uses are described in the Surrounding Land Use and Zoning section
on page 4 of this staff report. The proposed Palm River Corporate Housing RPUD is
located in an urbanized portion of the County.
The current designation of the site as RMF-16 entitles higher density and taller structures
than most of the surrounding neighborhood. The petitioner seeks to increase the density
further through a GMP Amendment and PUD rezoning to allow 19.9 units per acre. This
alters the mix of zoning established within the neighborhood. The increased density could
be designed compatibly in the context of the neighborhood if developed in adherence to
the RMF-16 development standards governing height and setbacks. Staff recommends
the project maintain the minimum front, side, and rear yard setbacks per the LDC
standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned building height, or 32.5
feet. Staff also recommends that amenities not be located on the rooftop to avoid the
imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts.
There are no other planned developments in the immediate vicinity. The closest PUDs are
located approximately 0.5 miles away on the south side of Immokalee Road. Other non-
residential PUDs in the area include the BRB Development CPUD and the Piper Blvd.
Medical Office Center PUD located north of Piper Boulevard on Cypress Way East which
are approximately one mile away. However, the proposed RPUD is not unrelated to
adjacent districts because multifamily homes are in the immediate vicinity, and the current
designation of the site as RMF-16 already entitles the site for higher density and taller
structures in relation to the surrounding neighborhood.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing
conditions on the property proposed for change.
The boundary of the existing RMF-16 district and surrounding districts are logically drawn
following the boundary of parcels/tracts.

5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed rezoning
necessary.
The proposed change is not necessary but is being requested in compliance with the LDC
provisions to seek such changes. The petitioner believes the rezoning is necessary to
accommodate the construction of a facility that will meet a market need to supply housing
to newly hired individuals moving to the area.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed rezoning is not likely to adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood. Transportation Planning staff found this development has a de minimis
impact on the adjacent roadways.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or
create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses because of peak
volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during construc tion
phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety.
The roadway infrastructure will continue to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed
project at this time, i.e., GMP consistent at the time of rezoning as evaluated as part of the
GMP Transportation Element consistency review. Operational impacts are addressed
through the pending Site Development Plan review process (SDP-PL20230015865).
Additionally, the project’s development must comply with all other applicable concurrency
management regulations when development approvals are sought.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The proposed rezoning is not anticipated to create adverse drainage impacts in the area;
provided stormwater best management practices, treatment, and storage on this project are
addressed through Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) with the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD). County staff will evaluate the project’s stormwater
management system, calculations, and design criteria through the pending Site
Development Plan review process (SDP-PL20230015865).
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
It is not anticipated that this RPUD will reduce light or air to the adjacent areas.
10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent area.
Property value is affected by many factors. It is driven by market conditions and is ,
generally, a subjective determination. The investment to redevelop buildings that were
constructed in 1989 is likely to increase the valuation of the subject property, which is
likely to have a positive effect on the valuation of surrounding properties.

13 September 2024
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
The proposed rezone request from RMF-16 to RPUD to allow for 41 residential units is
not likely to deter development activity or improvement of surrounding properties in
accordance with existing regulations.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasting with the public welfare.
If the proposed development complies with the GMP through the approval of the
companion GMP Amendment (GMPA-PL20230011318), then that constitutes a public
policy statement supporting zoning actions consistent with said Comprehensive Plan. In
light of this fact, the proposed change does not constitute a grant of special privilege.
Consistency with the FLUE is further determined to be a public welfare relationship
because actions consistent with plans are in the public interest.
13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance
with existing zoning.
The subject property can be used in accordance with existing zoning; however, the
proposed density cannot be achieved without rezoning to RPUD and amending the GMP.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the
County.
The current designation of the site as RMF-16 entitles higher density and taller structures
than most of the surrounding neighborhood. The petitioner seeks to increase the density
further through a GMP Amendment and PUD rezoning to allow 19.9 units per acre. This
alters the mix of zoning that is established within the neighborhood.
The total number of units requested is eight dwelling units more than currently permitted.
The petitioner seeks a deviation to allow 50% of the total area of the site as open space,
which is less than the required minimum 60% open space that must be provided for
residential only PUDs per LDC Section 4.07.02 G.1. The petitioner indicates that the size
of the parcel and proposed scale of the building limits the amount of usable open space that
can be provided onsite, and that meeting the 60% usable open space standard would render
the site unusable for buildings at the proposed height. The minimum 60% open space
requirement could be achieved with a smaller building footprint or a reduction in number
of units and corresponding parking spaces.
The increased density could be designed compatibly in the context of the neighborhood if
developed in adherence to the RMF-16 development standards governing height and
setbacks. Staff recommends the project maintain the minimum front, side, and rear
yard setbacks per the LDC standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned
building height, or 32.5 feet. Staff also recommends that amenities not be located on
the rooftop to avoid the imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the
surrounding residential neighborhood.

15. Is it impossible to find other adequate sites in the County for the proposed use in districts
already permitting such use.
The proposed multifamily use is allowed on the subject site per the current RMF-16 zoning.
County policies typically allow for the requested density of 19.9 units per acre in Activity
Centers or through the Affordable Housing Density bonus program. The petitioner is
seeking to allow the proposed use and density in this location by requesting a companion
amendment to the GMP to create a site-specific Future Land Use designation allowing up
to 19.9 units per acre on this site.
16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration, which
would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses
under the proposed zoning classification.
Site alteration is required for the proposed project. The PUD Master Plan depicts the two
existing access points along Palm River Boulevard will remain. School children currently
use a school bus stop near the southern driveway into the site (opposite Viking Way), and
this is proposed to remain. A golf cart path currently traverses the middle of the site in an
easement, and the path and easement are proposed to be relocated to conform to the new
building placement. A sanitary sewer utility easement is also proposed to be vacated
subject to BCC approval (VAC-PL20240002369). A Site Development Plan (SDP-
PL20230015865), Demolition Permit (PRDM20240834775), and Building Permit
(PRMFH20240832690) are also in process for this project.
17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and services
consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County Growth Management
Plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County Adequate Public
Facilities Ordinance, as amended.
The development will have to meet all applicable criteria set forth in the LDC regarding
Adequate Public Facilities. The project must also be consistent with all applicable goals
and objectives of the GMP regarding adequate public facilities.
18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the Board of County Commissioners shall
deem important in protecting public health, safety, and welfare.
To be determined by the Board during its advertised public hearing.

13 September 2024
DEVIATION DISCUSSION
The petitioner seeks two deviations from the requirements of the LDC. The deviations are directly
extracted from PUD Exhibit E. The petitioner’s rationale and staff analysis/recommendation are
outlined below.
Proposed Deviation # 1: (Parking Space requirements)
Relief from LDC Section 4.05.04, Table 17, Parking Space requirements for multifamily
dwellings, which requires that all units shall have 1 per unit plus visitor parking computed at 0.5 per
efficiency unit, 0.75 per 1-bedroom unit, and 1 per 2-bedroom or larger unit. Office/administrative
buildings shall have parking provided at 50 percent of normal requirements. Where sma ll-scale
recreation facilities are accessory to a single-family or multifamily project and intended only for the
residents of that project, exclusive of golf courses/clubhouses, the recreation facilities may be
computed at 50 percent of normal requirements where the majority of the dwelling units are not within
300 feet of the recreation facilities and at 25 percent of normal requirements where the majority of the
dwelling units are within 300 feet of the recreation facilities.
To instead require no additional parking for the on-site recreation facilities to be provided.
Petitioner’s Justification:
The single building site has been designed in a manner that places all units in close proximity to
the project amenity area; if located outdoors and if located on the building rooftop, all 41 units
would have access to the amenity within the building.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL, finding in compliance
with LDC section 10.02.13.A.3. the petitioner has demonstrated that “the element may be waived
without detrimental effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the community” and in compliance
with LDC section 10.02.13.B.5.h, the petitioner as demonstrated that the deviation is “justified as
meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such regulations.”
The site design will be compact so that residents will not be required to traverse the site by vehicle
to access the on-site amenities. Staff recommends that amenities not be located on the rooftop
to avoid the imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the surrounding
residential neighborhood.
Proposed Deviation # 2: (Open Space)
Seeks relief from LDC Section 4.07.02.G.1, Open space requirements, which requires at least 60
percent of the gross area shall be devoted to usable open space within PUD districts composed
entirely of residential dwelling units and accessory uses, to instead allow 50 percent of the gross
area be devoted to usable open space.
Petitioner’s Justification:
The 50% open space standard is justified. The Palm River Corporate Housing project represents
redevelopment of a residential project on 2.06+/- acres. The applicant is proposing a project that
has comparable building heights to the adjacent condominiums. Due to the size of the parcel,
meeting the 60% usable open space standard would render the site unusable for buildings at the
proposed height. A taller building, having less lot coverage would be necessary to meet the 60%
open space requirement. The proposed building height and building scale are in keeping with the
9.A.6.a

adjacent development. The County has recently provided data indicating that over 50,000 people
per day commute to work from outside Collier County. The Chamber of Commerce has indicated
that housing affordability is the number one public policy priority.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL subject to the condition
that the petitioner provide at least 30% of the transitional corporate housing units for those
earning up to and including 100% AMI, finding in compliance with LDC section 10.02.13.A.3.
the petitioner has demonstrated that “the element may be waived without detrimental effect on the
health, safety, and welfare of the community” and in compliance with LDC section 10.02.13.B.5.h,
the petitioner as demonstrated that the deviation is “justified as meeting public purposes to a degree
at least equivalent to literal application of such regulations.”
The minimum 60% open space requirement could be achieved with a smaller building footprint or
a reduction in number of units and corresponding parking spaces. The petitioner suggests that
housing affordability is such a priority that the requested relief is warranted to achieve County
goals. However, the petitioner’s commitment to affordability is only implemented if the project no
longer serves its primary purpose of transitional corporate housing, so the affordability component
may never transpire per the proposed terms. To balance the need for relief to meet the development
goals while contributing to the achievement of County goals, this deviation is only supported by
staff if the petitioner provides at least 30% of the transitional corporate housing units for those
earning up to and including 100% AMI. This aligns with previous Board of County Commissioner
policy.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM):
The petitioner conducted a NIM on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at Arthrex offices located at 1
Arthrex Way. The meeting was also broadcast via ZOOM. The meeting began at 5:30 p.m.
Agent Wayne Arnold presented information about the proposed GMPA and PUD rezoning, noting
the intent of the project is to demolish existing buildings and replace them with transitional
corporate housing for Arthrex employees.
Concerns were raised about light potentially shining into the first floor of the villas across the creek
and whether any buffering would address that issue. Discussion followed about the golf cart path
and easement that transects the site and whether the utility easement for the golf course’s irrigation
and electric equipment would be maintained. Attendees also asked about location and safety of
the school bus stop at the project’s driveway. Concerns were expressed about the potential height
of the building compared to what is currently on site and how the project would be compatible
with the existing neighborhood.
See Attachment C for the NIM documentation.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) REVIEW
This project does not require an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project
did not meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193
of the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances.

COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW:
This Staff Report was reviewed by the County Attorney’s office on August 30, 2024. This staff
report was reviewed by the County Attorney’s office on August 30, 2024. The Affordable Housing
provisions of Exhibit F, Section 5 of the PUD are not likely to ever be triggered because this rental
project will operate like any other traditional rental property except that it will not rent to people
working in Lee County or people who are not working (including retirees). As
proposed, Transitional Corporate Housing is not limited to employees of Arthrex or any targeted
business industry. –DDP
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward Petition PUDZ-
PL20230011319 Palm River Corporate Housing RPUD to the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) with a recommendation of approval, subject to approval of the companion GMP
Amendment and with an effective date linked to the effective date of the GMP Amendment and
subject to the following conditions:
1. Revise Exhibit F, List of Development Commitments, to provide at least 30% of the of the
transitional corporate housing units for those earning up to and including 100% AMI. The 30%
requirement would result in twelve (12) units set aside for those earning up to and including
100% AMI.
2. Revise Exhibit B, List of Development Standards, to maintain the minimum front, side, and
rear yard setbacks per the LDC standards for the RMF-16 district, which is 50% of zoned
building height, or 32.5 feet.
3. Revise Exhibit F, List of Development Commitments, to state that amenities will not be located
on the rooftop to avoid the imposition of rooftop activities and associated noise on the
surrounding residential neighborhood.

Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A.
3800 Via Del Rey, Bonita Springs, FL 34134 239-947-1144 engineering@gradyminor.com www.gradyminor.com
Pursuant to LDC subsections 10.02.13 B, 10.02.08 F and Chapter 3 G. of the Administrative Code,
staff’s analysis and recommendation to the Planning Commission, and the Planning Commission’s
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners shall be based upon consideration of
the applicable criteria. Provide a narrative statement describing the rezone request with specific
reference to the criteria below. Include any backup materials and documentation in support of
the request.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the 2.06+/- acre property from RMF-16 to a Residential
PUD to permit up to 41 multi-family dwelling units. The property would support a maximum
of 33 dwelling units under the current RMF-16 zoning. The dwelling units within the proposed
PUD will be employer provided housing for corporate employees. The applicant has provided
a commitment that in the event the housing ceases to function for only employer provided
housing that the 8 units permitted above the current RMF-16 intensity would be income
restricted at the 100% or below AMI threshold.
a. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in relation
to physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access, drainage,
sewer, water, and other utilities.
The site is well-suited for development and is currently developed with a 12-unit
condominium project. The current zoning would permit up to 33 dwelling units without the
need to rezone the property. The property will provide three internal water management
areas which are depicted on the conceptual PUD master plan, and the site is permitted to
discharge into the adjacent canal. A traffic impact analysis has been completed and it
concludes that there is no level of service impacts associated with development of 41 multi-
family dwelling units. Access will be provided at two locations on Palm River Boulevard in the
approximate locations that exist today. The southernmost access point aligns with Viking Way
and the second access point will be approximately 375’ north of Viking Way. The site is
presently served by public water and sewer, and there will be no capacity issues associated
with the increase in 8 dwelling units.
b. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements,
contract, or other instruments, or for amendments in those proposed, particularly as they
may relate to arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing operation and
maintenance of such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or maintained at public
expense. Findings and recommendations of this type shall be made only after consultation
with the county attorney.
The applicant is the property owner. All other properties surrounding the site are developed.

c. Conformity of the proposed PUD with the goals, objectives and policies of the Growth
Management Plan. (This is to include identifying what Sub-district, policy or other
provision allows the requested uses/density, and fully explaining/addressing all criteria or
conditions of that Sub-district, policy or other provision.)
A companion small-scale growth management plan amendment has been filed which
establishes a new subdistrict which is tailored to this specific property and establishes the
proposed intensity of a maximum of 41 Transitional Corporate Housing dwelling units. The
PUD is consistent with the proposed subdistrict.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 5.4 requires that all applications must be consistent with the Growth Management Plan
as determined by the Board of County Commissioners. A companion small-scale growth
management plan amendment has been filed which creates a new subdistrict providing for
development of the proposed 41 employer provided dwelling units. Upon approval of the
Subdistrict, the project may be deemed consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
Policies 5.5 and 5.7 discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl by utilizing urban areas for
development before redesignating new property for urban intensity. The proposed
development is located within the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict. The
site represents infill redevelopment and does not result in sprawl.
Policy 5.6 requires that new projects will be compatible with and complementary to the
surrounding land uses. The proposed project will consist of 4-story buildings. The property is
presently zoned RMF-16, which permits buildings to have a zoned height of 75’. The PUD has
limited the zoned height to a zoned height of 65’ which is less than that permitted for the RMF-
16 zoning district. The number of dwelling units will be indiscernible since the site will be
developed in accordance with standards similar to that of the RMF-16 zoning district but at a
lower zoned height.
Objective 7, and implementing Policies 7.1-7.7, promote smart growth policies to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and to adhere to the development character of the County. The
proposed project cannot be interconnected to the adjoining property to the north as it is
developed with a condominium project which has no area available for a vehicular connection.
To the south is a drainage canal which prohibits any connection, and to the east is a stormwater
detention pond, which also prohibits interconnection. Sidewalks do exist within the Palm River
Drive ROW, and a golf cart pathway crosses the site which provides access to the nearby golf
course.

Evaluation Criteria-r1.docx Page 3 of 8
Conservation and Coastal Management Element
Policy 6.1.1 requires preservation of 15% of the existing native vegetation on sites ranging in
size from 5 acres to 20 acres. The property has been cleared in support of the existing
condominium. No native vegetative communities exist on the property.
Policy 6.2.5 is directed at reducing impacts to wetlands. There are no wetlands on the subject
property.
Objective 7.1: Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their
habitats. The availability of suitable habitat for any vertebrate is quite limited. The parcel is
cleared and does not provide potential for any denning, habitation and /or foraging. The
parcel is also surrounded by development.
Housing Element
Objectives 1 and 2 promote the creation of affordable housing units in the County that address
the needs for various income levels. The intent of the PUD is to permit construction of 41
dwelling units of employer provided housing. While not technically “affordable” housing under
the County standards, the employer will provide the units to employees as short-term
transitional housing. The units will be occupied for a period of time to permit an employee time
to find permanent housing. The PUD does require that in the event the units are no longer used
for employer provided housing, the 8 units permitted above the existing zoning are required
to be occupied by persons meeting the income guidelines for those in the 100% AMI threshold.
d. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may include
restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering and
screening requirements.
The project as proposed is compatible both internally and externally. The proposed infill
development of employer provided housing will be developed at lower heights than permitted
today and also within the setbacks required for the existing zoning district.
e. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the
development.
The PUD will provide a minimum of 50% common open space which will consist of
recreational amenity areas, buffers and water management areas. A deviation has been
requested for the reduction.
f. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of assuring the adequacy of
available improvements and facilities, both public and private.

Adequate infrastructure must be in place to support future development on the site. There are
no known infrastructure capacity issues that will impact this project. Water and sewer facilities
exist on the property. The residential project will be developed in a single phase.
g. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion.
The RPUD is surrounded by zoned and developed land. Expansion of the PUD boundary is not
proposed or feasible.
h. Conformity with PUD regulations, or as to desirable modifications of such regulations in
the particular case, based on determination that such modifications of justified as
meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such
regulations.
The project as proposed is consistent with the LDC and meets all criteria for approval of a PUD.
10.02.08 - Requirements for Amendments to the Official Zoning Atlas
F. Nature of requirements of Planning Commission report. When pertaining to the rezoning of
land, the report and recommendations of the Planning Commission to the Board of County
Commissioners required in LDC section 10.02.08 E shall show that the Planning Commission
has studied and considered the proposed change in relation to the following findings, when
applicable:
1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies and future land use map and the elements of the Growth Management Plan.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 5.4 requires that all applications must be consistent with the Growth Management Plan
as determined by the Board of County Commissioners. A companion small-scale growth
management plan amendment has been filed which creates a new subdistrict providing for
development of the proposed 41 Transitional Corporate Housing dwelling units. Upon approval
of the Subdistrict, the project may be deemed consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
Policies 5.5 and 5.7 discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl by utilizing urban areas for
development before redesignating new property for urban intensity. The proposed
development is located within the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict. The
site represents infill redevelopment and does not result in sprawl.
Policy 5.6 requires that new projects will be compatible with and complementary to the
surrounding land uses. The proposed project will consist of 4-story buildings. The property is
presently zoned RMF-16, which permits buildings to have a zoned height of 75’. The PUD has
limited the zoned height to 65’ which is less than that permitted for the RMF-16 zoning district.

The surrounding properties consist of multi-family condominium buildings to the north, single-
family homes across Palm River Boulevard to the west, and duplex structures to the south
across the drainage canal. The included zoning map identifies the corresponding zoning for the
surrounding properties.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby
districts.
The PUD meets the standards for a PUD rezoning per the LDC and it is consistent with the
proposed planning subdistrict. The PUD zoning is not an isolated district.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing
conditions on the property proposed for change.
The PUD boundary represents a logical boundary and represents the entirety of property
owned by the applicant.
5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed
amendment necessary.
The existing uses are consistent with the growth management plan, and the planned use and
intensity is consistent with the proposed subdistrict. The applicant has prepared a report that
documents their need for housing to attract new employees and retain existing employees.
The lack of attainable housing in Collier County is well-documented and to provide 41 units of
housing for use entirely by their employees is critical to their ability to continue to flourish as
a top tier business in Collier County.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed rezone will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. The
proposed master plan and development standards will assure compatibility. The proposed
use is similar in use and intensity to that permitted under the existing RMF-16 zoning district,
except that the companion small-scale amendment will permit the additional 8 dwelling units
per acre on the property. The resulting development will be indiscernible from development
on other RMF-16 zoned properties.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion
or create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because
of peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during
construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety.
9.A.6.c

Evaluation Criteria-r1.docx Page 7 of 8
The proposed 41 units of employer provided dwelling units will not create or excessively
increase traffic congestion. The TIS prepared for the PUD rezoning application concludes that
the project will not adversely impact the surrounding road network or cause any roadways to
operate below their adopted level of service.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The project will obtain a SFWMD permit for the surface water management system and will
have no impact on surrounding development.
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
The proposed rezone will have no impact on light and air to adjacent areas.
10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent
area.
The proposed rezone should have no impact on property values in the adjacent area.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or
development of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
The proposed rezone should enhance surrounding properties and will not deter improvement
or development of nearby properties.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
Any property owner may propose zoning changes subject to the requirements of the LDC. No
special privilege results from the PUD rezoning.
13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in
accordance with existing zoning.
The proposed PUD provides for an increase in the number of dwelling units above that
authorized by the current zoning. The current zoning is RMF-16 and would permit a maximum
of 33 dwelling units. The companion small-scale amendment and PUD will result in an
additional 8 total dwelling unit above that permitted today. The rezoning is necessary to
support the proposed use.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood
or the county.
The scale of the project is in scale with the needs of the community.

15. Whether it is impossible to find other adequate sites in the county for the proposed
use in districts already permitting such use.
It is not impossible to find other sites in the County; however, this infill property has
development surrounding it, and the site already is zoned with the highest intensity
conventional residential zoning district. The site has the necessary infrastructure in place, and
it is located less than 1 mile from the employer’s primary campus in Collier County.
16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration which
would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential
uses under the proposed zoning classification.
The property has been previously cleared and filled in support of the existing condominium
building.
17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and
services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County Growth
Management Plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance [Code ch. 106, art. II], as amended.
There are adequate roadways and utilities available at the site. There are no public facilities
deficiencies at the present time, and none will occur as a result of this project.
18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the Board of County Commissioners
shall deem important in the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
The project is consistent with the proposed Growth Management Plan amendment, and it is
compatible with surrounding development.

Deviation Justification

Deviation Justification-r1.docx
Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A.
3800 Via Del Rey, Bonita Springs, FL 34134 239-947-1144 engineering@gradyminor.com www.gradyminor.com
1. Deviation #1 seeks relief from LDC Section 4.05.04, Table 17, Parking Space requirements
for multi-family dwellings, which requires:
All units shall have 1 per unit plus visitor parking computed at 0.5 per efficiency unit, 0.75
per 1-bedroom unit, and 1 per 2-bedroom or larger unit. Office/administrative buildings
shall have parking provided at 50 percent of normal requirements. Where small-scale
recreation facilities are accessory to a single-family or multifamily project and intended
only for the residents of that project, exclusive of golf courses/clubhouses, the recreation
facilities may be computed at 50 percent of normal requirements where the majority of
the dwelling units are not within 300 feet of the recreation facilities and at 25 percent of
normal requirements where the majority of the dwelling units are within 300 feet of the
recreation facilities.
To instead require no additional parking for the on-site recreation facilities to be
provided.
Justification:
The single building site has been designed in a manner that places all units in close proximity
to the project amenity area, if located outdoor and if located on the building rooftop, all 41
units would have access to the amenity within the building.
2. Deviation #2 requests relief from LDC Section 4.07.02.G.1, Open space requirements,
which requires within PUD districts composed entirely of residential dwelling
units and accessory uses, at least 60 percent of the gross area shall be devoted to usable
open space to instead allow 50 percent of the gross area be devoted to usable open space.
Justification:
The 50% open space standard is justified. The Palm River Corporate Housing project
represents redevelopment of a residential project on 2.06+/- acres. The applicant is
proposing a project that has comparable building heights to the adjacent condominiums.
Due to the size of the parcel, meeting the 60% usable open space standard would render
the site unusable for buildings at the proposed height. A taller building, having less lot
coverage would be necessary to meet the 60% open space requirement. The proposed
building height and building scale is in keeping with the adjacent development. The County
has recently provided data indicating that over 50,000 people per day commute to work
from outside Collier County. The Chamber of Commerce has indicated that housing
affordability is the number one public policy priority.

President Joe Biden announced the
launch of a national database on Mon-
day to help hold law enforcement ac-
countable for misconduct in the wake
of the murder of George Floyd and na-
tional conversations about American
policing.
The president touted the database,
which will track serious misconduct by
federal law enforcement officers, as a
mechanism to help prevent bad hiring
decisions.
“This database will ensure that rec-
ords of serious misconduct by federal
law enforcement officers are readily
available to agencies considering hiring
those officers,” Biden said in a state-
ment.
The Biden administration commit-
ted to creating the database in a May
2022 executive order that marked the
two-year anniversary of the murder of
George Floyd by Minneapolis police of-
ficer Derek Chauvin, who held a knee
on Floyd’s neck for more than nine min-
utes. The killing sparked outrage across
the country and calls for police reform,
particularly around policing of Black
communities and other people of color.
The National Law Enforcement Ac-
countability Database or “NLEAD” will
track eight areas of behavior that the
administration classified as “serious
misconduct” by former and current
federal law enforcement officers over
the past seven years, according to the
Justice Department. Forms of serious
misconduct include using excessive
force, making false reports, engaging in
bias or discrimination, and sexual mis-
conduct. It will also include officer
commendations and awards.
“This database will give our law en-
forcement agencies an important new
tool for vetting and hiring officers and
agents that will help strengthen our ef-
forts to build and retain that trust,” At-
torney General Merrick Garland said in
a separate statement Monday.
The database won’t be searchable by
the public, but Justice Department em-
ployees and authorized users at other
federal law enforcement agencies will
ultimately get access, according to a
department official. The database cur-
rently includes Justice Department of-
ficers but will be expanded to include
other federal law enforcement “in the
coming months,” the official said.
The department said it will publish a
public report each year with aggregated
data that keeps law enforcement offi-
cers anonymous. It said it has also part-
nered with a police training association
to expand a national registry of decerti-
fication and revocation actions against
state and local law enforcement officers
as a way to encourage accountability
efforts in state and local agencies.
George Floyd’s killing in 2020 sparked outrage across the country and calls for
police reform.DRAKE BENTLEY/MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL FILE

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING TRANSCRIPT PETITIONS: PL20230011318 – Palm River Corporate Housing Residential Subdistrict; and PL20230011319 – Palm River Corporate Housing RPUD Rezone
SUMMARY: Wayne Arnold, representing Arthrex, introduces the project team and explains that the meeting is being held to discuss two land use applications in Collier County. The applications include a comprehensive plan amendment and a rezoning of the property. The intent of the project is to demolish existing condominium buildings and replace them with transitional corporate housing for Arthrex employees. The proposed development would increase the density of the property by eight units. The project team presents plans for the development, including a zoning master plan, landscape plan, and development standards. They also discuss the timeline for the project, which includes obtaining permits, working with county staff, and attending public hearings. The team addresses questions and concerns from attendees, including issues related to height, buffers, access to the property, and the impact on neighboring properties. The team emphasizes that public input is important and encourages attendees to participate in the public hearing process. They also provide contact information for further inquiries.
TRANSCRIPT: Wayne Arnold: Good evening, everybody. I'm Wayne Arnold. I'm here with Grady Minor and Associates representing Arthrex and I'll introduce our project team before we get started. And we have Trent Lewis from Arthrex. He's here in the room. We have Rich Devon which is our legal counsel. Jim Banks is our traf�ic consultant. Jim Carr, I'm not sure where Jim went, but Jim's a civil engineer on the project and Sharon Umpenhour from our �irm is going to help with the recording of the meeting. So, this is a neighborhood information meeting for two land use applications in Collier County and we're required to hold neighborhood information meetings for them, and we're required to record those and create a transcript to provide to the county. So, we're here to talk about two applications. One is a comprehensive plan amendment. So, we're creating our own sub-district for the subject property. And then we're also rezoning the property from RMS-16 zoning to a residential PV. And the intent is to, I'm sure we need to, it's not advancing. Time out while- Richard Yovanovich: While you're �iguring out you want to introduce county staff. Wayne Arnold: Thank you. Appreciate that. So, the subject property is just a little bit over two acres. It currently has condominium buildings on the property. You can see its on Palm River Boulevard and just near Viking Way. Our intent is to demolish those existing condominiums and rebuild what we're calling transitional corporate housing. There's no de�inition for that in the county code, so we're going to be re�ining that de�inition with county staff as we go along. But the intent is to provide corporate housing for employees as they transition to our area, so they'll have a place to reside while they're seeking permanent housing.

We have to do a couple things to do that. Right now, the property allows a total of about 31 units we're looking to put... or 33 units. I'm sorry. We're looking to put 41 units on it, so we're asking for an eight unit increase in density, but that requires us to modify the comprehensive plan and the zoning for the property. So, those are the two applications that are under consideration, so we could build a total of 41 of these housing units. Future land use map change: we'll be changing the map and writing new subdistrict text. The text is shown here on the screen. I'm not going to go through all of that, but so this is intended to be corporate housing. What we've been talking to staff about is in the event that somehow the corporate housing component of this ends, there would be a commitment to provide those eight additional units as some form of affordable housing, but we don't expect that to occur. But for the foreseeable future, we expect that the demand's going to be there for the corporate housing. Arthrex and others in the community, I'm sure you all know Naples Community Hospital, the school district, Collier County Government, everybody's seeking a way to �ind employee housing, and this is Arthrex's attempt to have employee housing. We'll write the language so that if Arthrex can't ful�ill those 41 units, there might be an opportunity for NCH or some other close employer to also share in the bene�it of those units. We have to create a zoning master plan and the zoning master plan identi�ies the location of the L-shaped building where the number 1 is on that screen and the access to the site will remain from Palm River Boulevard to our south is the drainage canal. Go back to the aerial so everybody can see that. You can see that the canal is on the south side of the property and Palm River boulevards to the west, and then we're surrounded by golf course lakes to the east and another condominium project to the northeast. This is a little bit closer example showing you a little bit more the amenity for the site. They're going to be adding a pool to the south side of the project. What they're proposing is, you can see the parking spaces delineated under the building. That's proposed to be a four-story building over parking. Here's a part of the landscape plan that's been submitted to the county. It's part of the site plan review that Jim Carr and Agnoli Barber & Brundage have been working on, but you can see the landscaping treatments that are proposed. We have some water management features we're adding to the site and then, of course, putting in landscaping to enhance the building that's going to be constructed. As part of the proposed PUD, we have to establish development standards. I'm not going to go through all of those, but this would permit us to have the four-story over parking building, and then create setbacks that allow the building to function properly. In a nutshell, that's where we are. We've started the process and I'll just explain where we are. So, we've submitted both applications to the county. We've received some preliminary feedback from staff. We're in the process of addressing some of their comments. We're holding this Neighborhood Information Meeting. And then, the next step will be for us to continue to work with staff for the next month or so, hopefully, and then get scheduled for a Collier County Planning Commission hearing, and then they'll make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.

So that process, hopefully, can wrap up in the next several months for us. It's hard to predict, but hopefully that we can work through the process fairly quickly and easily. So those dates are to be determined for those public hearings. But if you receive notice for this meeting, you'll be receiving notice from Collier County Government. And if you live in the vicinity, you'll see the big four by eight zoning signs go up on the property once hearing dates have been established. Sharon Umpenhour: Last slide. Wayne Arnold: What's that, Sharon? Sorry. Sharon Umpenhour: Click to the last slide. Wayne Arnold: So, this has some other project information on it, if you want to take a screenshot of this or get one of Sharon's business cards for after. We'll update our information on our website as we continue to update and make submittals to Collier County, so everything that the county sees the public can see as well. It'll be here or if you feel more comfortable talking to Laura DeJohn or Parker Klopf, feel free to do that. I'm sure they'll make available their contact information. It's on the bottom of the screen here that Sharon's provided to us. So, with that, what we typically do is open it up if there are some question and answers. Sharon, I'm not sure if we have people that are online on Zoom, but the meeting's being broadcast on Zoom as well as here live. So, we'll take questions and answers from the room and because of the recording that's being taken for Zoom, we need you to be on a microphone. Sharon's got a portable microphone, and we'll get it in your hand. And then, if you can ask your question, then we can respond to it, that would be great. So, if you have a question in the room, just raise your hand and we'll get a microphone to you. Yes, sir. Tim Cannon: Just for the record my name's Tim Cannon. If you pull up a picture, the GIS picture that you had there. Wayne Arnold: Tell me when to stop. Tim Cannon: All right, one... Yeah, right there. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Tim Cannon: There are four white roofs you see just to the east and my unit is across from the pool that stares directly at this property. This property just for historical purposes was to be Phase 3. Our buildings were Phase 1. Across the street was Phase 2. Before he completed this Phase 3 on this property, he changed the plans and put up apartments. They're not condominiums; they're apartments. Since those apartments were occupied, we've had nothing but trouble. They have screened lanais in the back, and they look right down on our pool. We've had to grow

some landscape screening and whatnot through there. My question is what is the... I didn't see it in the materials. If it's there, I'm sorry, I just missed it, but what is the maximum height of a building that's allowed right now? Wayne Arnold: So, what we're proposing are buildings that are four stories over parking, we've set that standard at a zone height of 65 feet and an actual height of 75 feet. We're working with the project architect to try to re�ine that. We put those numbers in there as a holding place. They're still trying to work on the building design. Tim Cannon: I saw your proposal that you're 65 feet, but my question is what's the current height that is permitted as it's currently zoned? Wayne Arnold: The RMF-16 zoning allows a permitted height of 50 feet as a zoned height. That's not the maximum height, that's the zoned height. The county measures height in a couple of different ways, but the zoned height of 50 feet could actually be 60 feet, 65 feet, something taller, because it accounts for all roof structure, all elevator shafts, anything that's above the roof line. Tim Cannon: And I saw on the screen there, the minimum square footage of a unit is 650 feet? Wayne Arnold: Yes, that's what we established. It's been a pretty typical number that we've been using for apartments. I don't have a �loor plan to show you. They're still working with MHK Architecture to come up with an actual design for each of the �loors. My gut tells me that most of those units are going to exceed the 650 square feet, but that's the minimum that we've established for a square footage. Tim Cannon: I appreciate the concept of affordable housing. I understand the needs for it, and you get a density bonus of some kind under the current zoning I believe. But as I understand what's being proposed, this isn't going to bene�it �irst responders or teachers or nurses. It's going to bene�it Arthrex employees. Wayne Arnold: That is correct. The �irst interest here is for Arthrex employees. It's a recruiting tool and a way to retain employees for what is one of our area largest and private sector employers because we've all been around long enough to know that the housing issue is real. Whether you're a higher paid professional or a lower paid person that works in our community, it's hard to �ind housing regardless. And if you just moved here, it's hard to know where you want to reside, so this provides that transitional opportunity for their employees. Tim Cannon: Thanks. Wayne Arnold: Thank you. Sharon, I think there's a question over here on this side. Okay, thank you. Speaker 5: You answered it. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Thank you.

Laura DeJohn: Sorry. Wayne, this is Laura DeJohn on behalf of Collier County. And just to help answer that one question, I went on to look at RMF-16 height and the standard is 75- Wayne Arnold: Oh, I'm sorry. Laura DeJohn: ... feet for RMF-16. Wayne Arnold: You're right. I had that printed out right here. Laura DeJohn: Just wanted to correct that. Wayne Arnold: Thank you for correcting me on that. Sharon, right here. Thank you. Pat Lamb: Hi, my name is Pat Lamb. On one of your samples there it said, "No buffer when it faces Palm View Drive." We're right behind that house. We get spotlights all the time and there's not going to be a buffer there towards the river. We're right across the river. Wayne Arnold: Yes. We're talking to staff about that. The way we interpret the code because it's a canal right of way, that there would be no buffer required. Staff has questioned that, and Jim Carr and his group are looking at the buffering required for that section, or if there's going to be a buffer. You can see on the landscape plan that we prepared, there's a right way. You can see that we've got some of the shrubs and buffering adjacent to the south side of the building. Pat Lamb: Yes. But I can tell you on those buildings right now, right over the garages, they have spotlights that come across into the �irst villas we have, and I just think you should consider a buffer on that. Wayne Arnold: We're certainly looking at that. That's a question that staff had that we are addressing. Thank you. Speaker 8: I'm on the Zoom, can you hear me? I have a question. Wayne Arnold: Yes, we can hear you. Speaker 8: When do you plan to demolish the property? Wayne Arnold: They're talking about when they can get the permits to do that. Right now, I don't know what the status of the permit to do that, but it's the intent to take the buildings down sooner than later. Speaker 8: And out of curiosity, why aren't you keeping the current buildings as is? Because they're pretty nice inside. Wayne Arnold: I haven't been inside the building, but the intent here is obviously they're going to expand the footprint of the building and make it to accommodate 41 units, rather than the dozen or so units that are in the current building.

Speaker 8: I was just curious. I used to live in the building myself. Wayne Arnold: Okay. Thank you. Patrick Lewins: Yes. Sorry. My name is Patrick Lewins. I'm the superintendent of LaPlaya Golf Course, which abuts the proposed development. I have two questions, �irst being, if you could return to the GIS map, please for me? Wayne Arnold: Sure. Patrick Lewins: Keep going. Right. Well go back to the previous one, sorry, the one that's a little bit closer up. This one. So, you have the bridge there and then directly after the bridge, there is a path along the canal bank to the right, which would be going east. We receive ef�luent irrigation water from the county and the pipe is in that area along with the electric service from the main trunk that's on the road that feeds our pump station, which is if you continue on that gravel road further east out of the frame, which is another 200 yards or so. Because we have a building there with pumps and switch gear and all kinds of stuff in there, would that access be preserved - the access that we currently have to that gravel road which runs along the canal there? Speaker 10: I think that's owned by the county. Wayne Arnold: I think I'd like Jim Carr who's the design engineer to try to respond to that, if you don't mind? Jim Carr: Okay. Wayne Arnold: Jim, you can either come up here or you can talk from there. Jim Carr: I got it. Wayne Arnold: It's not advancing again. Jim Carr: The answer is yes that road will be preserved. There's a 30-foot utility easement that Collier County has the rights to. So, there's an access that you mentioned coming off the road and then there's a dirt path that runs back to the gate. Patrick Lewins: So that we have currently a chain link double gate, which was a four-foot double gate that cuts off where our property begins on the property line. So that gate could remain there, or it could remain, or new fencing may be put up. But however, it turns out, the gate will still be there. Right. But as long as in the event that something would happen to our pumps so we could get in there with a truck and drive. It wouldn't be frequent by any stretch of the imagination.

Jim Carr: But we don't have the ability to construct anything in that 30-foot easement, so it's going to have to remain �lat. It can be paved, it can be grasped, but those structures will be in there. Patrick Lewins: Well, that was the �irst part of my question, which is that's great. Thank you. And then, if you could go to the proposed building? Yeah, the �inished look. This one right here. We have a cart path which runs between those buildings, so there is a southernmost building. The southernmost and the middle building, we have a cart path that runs through where we currently have an easement through there. We also have a water line, like a main line irrigation pipe, that runs directly under that cart path and connects to the other side of the road to feed those holes that are on that side of the road. So, in this proposed... that is currently a straight line between the entrance, correct, to between Palm River Boulevard and heading east. This does not propose that. So, what are we going to do with our water in this scenario here, is how are we going to get the water from the back part of that property to the front basically through the property into the other side? Jim Carr: So yes, we'll need to run that pipe in the same alignment as the new path, so we'd have to relocate the path and the easement as well as the pipe. It could go back under the new path or just outside of it. Patrick Lewins: And that would be... The main concern there is when that's done, obviously we don't have any water. We have to shut the water off. So, you would, I'm assuming, be very proactive in communicating your timetable when all this stuff would happen? Jim Carr: Yes. The new pipe would have to be put in ahead of time and then connected over when the other one's going to be abandoned. Patrick Lewins: That would really probably have to be before you guys even demolished the buildings because the pipe is in-between the buildings. So, I don't know what your process of demo is. Jim Carr: Yes. We can work out those details that we can work with you as we get to that point. Wayne Arnold: All right. Jim Carr: Thank you for bringing that up. Wayne Arnold: Anybody else have a question or comment? Speaker 11: Thank you. So currently, the Collier County School District has a bus stop there on site right over the bridge, so I'm just curious if that's going to be relocated to a different spot? Wayne Arnold: I'll ask Jim to come back [inaudible 00:20:10].

Speaker 11: It's a dangerous spot honestly right now, so it'd be almost helpful if they put it in a different direction, but just curious about that. Jim Carr: The bridge that's there now and the sidewalk will remain right there. And as you come over the bridge, the current driveway is in approximately the same location as the proposed one. So, I'm not sure exactly where they sit. I agree it's probably not a great location. Speaker 11: They just hang out on the driveway area at the moment or just on the grass or so. The bus, it's a little tricky because of the intersection. They used to have to go down Palm River Boulevard back up and come down Viking. Now they stop, pick people up, and then go down Viking. Jim Carr: So, the driveway will be in the same location as the existing [inaudible 00:21:06]. Speaker 11: Will there be anything done with that intersection, or everything will remain the same as far as the lanes and everything? Jim Carr: Yes, everything else will remain the same. It'll just be a little bit larger driveway. Still going to have an intersection. And that's Viking Way on the bottom? Speaker 11: Yeah. And then, where the right of way goes for the golf crossing there, that will just have the stripes on the road or will there be any kind of signal or anything for the carts to cross, or a push button or thing or anything like that? Jim Carr: At this time, we don't have any plan to change it. It will realign a little bit just to point it in the same direction as where the new path will be, but it's at the same location. I know currently there's some old signage out there. I think it'll probably need to be replaced with something newer and more up to code. Speaker 11: And then, last question is, who will be managing the... Or you can have a cam that'll be managing the building and the leasing and all that stuff? Or what's that plan look like? Wayne Arnold: I can let Trent come up and answer that if I don't get it right, but the intent is that these are not really going to be leased to Arthrex employees. Arthrex employees will be allowed to live there at minimum 30 days. Sometimes those get extended to six months. They currently own and manage some other properties for this occurring around the county, but those aren't intended to be lease properties to anybody other than their employees at this point. Thank you. Sharon, question. Speaker 12: Do you know if this is going to be before or after the water renewal project that's going on? I know Grady Minor's involved with too, but are they going to do the work there, then demolish everything and then that whole intersection, which is critical going to be- Wayne Arnold: Jim's been coordinating that. Speaker 12: ... a war zone for the next year?

Wayne Arnold: Well, that's a multiphase project, the water reclamation program. Jim Carr: Right. Currently, the county's working up in the north end of Palm River and then they think they'll be here in probably two years, maybe year-and-a-half to two years. So, we should have all our work complete by then, but we're keeping that. Keeping in consideration that they will be coming back, they'll probably tear up the roads and the open areas to put in water and sewer. They'll probably put new gravity sewer in and new water mains in, so we are [inaudible 00:23:42] we should be done, but by the time they get into this area. Yes, ma'am? Speaker 13: That order, the order of them should be recently because they're going to do line section, I think starting in the summer, but my concern is that it's just going to be a non-stop construction at the intersection for three years or so. Wayne Arnold: Yeah, we should be done by the time they get into this area. Yes ma'am. Alicia Andrews: My name's Alicia Andrews. We're just seasonal residents in Palm River and these are very frivolous questions I have compared to the other ones. My �irst is, do you have any pictures of what the proposal is that they'll look like aesthetically from the street or the rear, like the frontage of the buildings? Wayne Arnold: No, we don't unfortunately tonight. MHK Architecture is the design architect working on the project. There were some very basic images shown as part of a site plan with the county, but they're not the �inished elevations for the project, so those are still under development. Alicia Andrews: My second question is totally sel�ish, but it sounds like a lot of people obviously would like things not to change because it's really quiet back there. Will there be any amenities that perhaps some of us in the community might be able to use a playground or a pickleball court or the pool? Wayne Arnold: I think the answer is no. Alicia Andrews: I �igured. Wayne Arnold: It's intended for the Arthrex folks that will be residing in the property. Thank you for the questions. Sharon, there's another question right back there. Joanie: Hi. My name is Joanie and I also reside in the Palm River Apartments where the pool is there or the condos, but my question is... I didn't understand the term of the people that are be staying in the units. It's very short-term or it's permanent housing? Wayne Arnold: It is not permanent housing. We call it transitional corporate housing. I wouldn't say it's a standard industry term, but it's a growing term because a lot of businesses are looking to �ind their own employee housing. Naples Community Hospital, when I �irst moved to town, had multiple apartment buildings around the hospital where they put up doctors, nurses, other visiting people

Page 10 of 15
for lengths of time. This is intended to be... I mean the shorter-term rental would be maybe a 30-day stay if somebody comes and needs housing. It can be six months. I know in some cases Trent has told us that working with somebody who might be under construction on a home, and they need even more time just to get the �inal CO. So, this is housing for their folks to have as a place to transition into permanent housing. Joanie: It could be anywhere from individuals to families, the whole gamut? Wayne Arnold: Yes, it could be. Joanie: Thank you. Wayne Arnold: Anybody else - questions? We'll let the lady behind you go �irst. Wendy Klopf: Hi, my name's Wendy Klopf and I'm a resident of Flame Vine Drive. I have a couple questions regarding the bus stop like the other gentlemen. Where is the construction traf�ic going to come in and out? Because if the children or the kids waiting for the bus at six, seven, and eight o'clock in the morning are in that driveway, is the construction traf�ic, the workers or the dump trucks, coming in and out the same driveway? Wayne Arnold: Jim, do you have any idea? Do you want to try to address that? We do have two driveways on the site. I think we can help coordinate during construction activities to not con�lict with school bus stuff. Wendy: And also, in the afternoon at two, three, and four o'clock they'll be dropping off students. So, throughout the day, there'll be at least six buses dropping off students and them walking around those areas. So, for their safety and the employees, if they're leaving, obviously they don't want to hit anybody either. Wayne Arnold: Sure. And we may have students that are residing there as well. Wendy: Yes. My other question is, are these units one-bedroom single SROs? Are they two-bedroom, three bedroom? Wayne Arnold: I think it's going to be a full range of those possibilities, just to accommodate the differences and what people's needs will be. Wendy: And then, my third question, so once you demolish, you're going to have multiple trucks trucking in and out the debris out the village? Wayne Arnold: I'm assuming so. I'm not involved in the demolition process, but typically, it's going to not take that long to demolish the buildings that are there, and then they'll be waiting for other permits to catch up so they can stage new construction on site. Wendy: And then the load of the dump trucks is allowable on all the bridges? Wayne Arnold: It should be. I mean, they're all county roads and they should be constructed to a standard that allows dump trucks and other equipment.

Wendy: Those are my questions. Thank you. Wayne Arnold: All right. Thank you, Wendy.
Paul Pauza: Thank you. My name is Paul Pauza and I live directly across the river from this project. I'm concerned with the height of the building. What's the height of the building right now and what's the height of the new proposed building? Wayne Arnold: I don't know the height of the existing buildings exactly. Paul: I think you should know the height of the building. Wayne Arnold: Well, the answer is that the zoning that's in place is RMF-16 zoning. It allows a height of 75 feet as you heard the county con�irm. It doesn't mean that you couldn't rebuild something there today under that same standard, so 75 feet is the height that's allowed there today. Paul: I know, but I do not have any way of telling how big that building is or how tall the building is, and I think that that's some kind of data that you should have available. Now when I look out my back window, if I'm going to look at a 65-foot structure, this building looks like it's going to be maybe 100 feet from my house, or my property and the existing buildings are maybe 200 feet away from my property. So, I'm going to be looking at... and we don't even have a picture of what it's supposed to look like. Wayne Arnold: No, we do not yet. I'm sorry. And this is part of the due review process? Paul: What's the answer? Wayne Arnold: The answer is we don't have an image of the actual building and I don't know the actual height of the building that's there today, but the zoning would allow the building to be demolished and reconstructed at 75 feet. Paul: Right. Now, how many cars of parking do you have underneath the building? Wayne Arnold: Do you know the answer? Kind of a breakdown? Jim Carr: About 30, 38 or so. Paul: And how many are outside the building? Jim Carr: About 45. Paul: Okay. Wouldn't it be nice if they could take the cars and put a little bit more outside parking, and then lower the height of the building? If it goes to be as high as the hospital,

I really don't think I would like to look at a building as high as a hospital. And this is not a hospital, this is something that's supposed to be part of a residential neighborhood. Wayne Arnold: The standard that we've proposed for the building height is consistent with what's allowed under the zoning today. It's actually lower by the zone height than we proposed. Paul: Pardon me, sir? Richard Yovanovich: It's actually lower. Wayne Arnold: It's actually lower by the zone height than we've proposed. Paul Pauza: Pardon me, sir. Richard Yovanovich: Right now, we can go to seventy-�ive feet zone, we're only asking for sixty-�ive feet zone. So, we're asking to reduce the height for what we can build today. Paul Pauza: So, the maximum, the absolute top would be lower than sixty-�ive? Will not be above sixty-�ive plus all the other stuff on top? Wayne Arnold: Hang on sir, hang on. Richard Yovanovich: And right now, we could do seventy-�ive plus. Paul Pauza: Sure. Compared to what it is today. Wayne Arnold: Sir, can we get a microphone because this is bouncing all over. Richard Yovanovich: That's my fault. Wayne Arnold: Can we get a microphone because this is bouncing all over the place on the recording. The answer is, from a building height standpoint, I understand the buildings that are there today are not 65 feet. They're not 75 feet. I don't know their exact height, but the zoning code that's in place today would've allowed whomever developed the property initially or now, if Arthrex hadn't come along and proposed a change, to still build a building 75 feet zone height, which means that building would likely exceed 75 feet total height or an actual height as the county measures it. What we've proposed is a zoned height of 65 feet with an actual height of 75 feet, so our maximum height that we're proposing only achieves the zone height that's allowed today. And just for your information, the hospital is over 100 feet tall. Paul Pauza: For sure? Wayne Arnold: Absolute positive. Paul Pauza: Okay. Well, we might have trouble with the helicopters too if it's too high as they're coming into the hospital. One other thing... No, that's okay, thank you very much.

Wayne Arnold: No, thank you. Alan Findlay: Hello, Alan Findlay also with LaPlaya Golf Club and this follows on with what Wendy was asking earlier on. The demolition timetable, I heard it was imminent. Wayne Arnold: Jim, do you know any more about that? I know that they've been anxious to try to get in and get the demolition permits. I don't know what the schedule is for demolition, but I think that the intent would be to go ahead and get the site cleared, so construction can commence as soon as all the other permits would be secured. Jim Carr: I think, like you said, dependent on obtaining the permit. I don't know what the exact start date would be, but probably sometime this year. Alan Findlay: We prefer the summertime. Jim Carr: That's what I think is planned. Alan Findlay: And then once everything has been approved, what do you anticipate is the construction timetable, and when would it be? Jim Carr: I don't think I know that answer right now, but it does take several months, maybe even a full year, from beginning to end, the whole project. Alan Findlay: For approvals or the construction? Jim Carr: Well, we have to obtain the approvals, which would likely be around the summertime, and so construction may start as soon as then. Alan Findlay: In the summer? Jim Carr: It's all dependent on when we obtain the zoning and the permits. Alan Findlay: Thank you. Jim Carr: Thanks. Speaker 8: Is this project for sure happening or is there still possibilities? Wayne Arnold: I'm sorry, you broke up there, ma'am. Could you repeat that? Speaker 8: Is this project for sure happening or are there still possibilities? Wayne Arnold: The project is a proposal at this point. We have to go through the public hearing process with Collier County. We don't prejudge, but we hope the County Commission will ultimately approve it, but we still have to go through those public hearings. There'll be public input allowed at those two public hearings. Anybody else? Anything else? I see a lady in the back, Sharon.

Alicia Andrews: Just so I understand it clearly, it's not happening for sure, but we probably don't stand a chance that it won't happen. Correct? Wayne Arnold: Well, I don't think I would say it that way. Public input is sought for a reason, and you're appointed of�icials with the County Planning Commission and staff and the Board of County Commissioners, they appreciate public input. They work really hard to try to �ind solutions and if there are things that can be accommodated in your request, they'll ask us if we can do those and hopefully, we can. If we can't, we honestly tell you we can't do that like allowing you to use the pool is probably an answer that's a non-starter, but just a hunch. Alicia Andrews: We could show up and- Wayne Arnold: You absolutely can. You'll get notice for public hearings, and you are encouraged to show up. If you can't, you can send an email or write a letter. Speaker 12: This is the only NIM, right? Wayne Arnold: This is the only required Neighborhood Information Meeting, yes. Speaker 12: Is it possible to get when there is a �inal design, or at least a nearer design, to have that rendering shared out or distributed? Or "Here it is today, here's what it looks like today and here's what it's going to look like," so we can see that and maybe these people can see it from their point of view, their house too, so they get a realistic view? Wayne Arnold: Yeah. I think our goal will be by the time we have our Planning Commission Public Hearing, that we'll have some realistic images of what this building is intended to look like. Speaker 12: That'd great. Patrick Lewins: All right. Patrick Lewins again - LaPlaya Golf Club. I heard you say, or somebody say demolition was imminent. Is that the case? Wayne Arnold: I think the intent to get the permit to demolish is underway. Patrick Lewins: My only... or our only concern that we have is with that cart path that we have going through there, there's people driving through there. What accommodations would be made during that process to safely get our people from one side to the other? Wayne Arnold: I would recommend that you all exchange contact information, you and Jim Carr. Patrick Lewins: Okay. Jim Carr: Yeah, we can help coordinate that. The contractor will pull that permit and do the work, but I know what you're saying. You've got a pathway people run through there, you've got push [inaudible 00:37:51] on both sides. You don't want to disturb.

Patrick Lewins: That was the thing with the water too. As soon as you put a track hoe on that car path, that water line is destroyed. So, all that kind of stuff, just not that one day a bulldozer shows up out of the blue and all of a sudden, we're cut off there. Jim Carr: Understood. Wayne Arnold: Any other comments/questions?

Subject:Arthrex Employee Transitional Housing Project
EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when
opening attachments or clicking links.
Dear Laura,
Thank you so much for your time and consideration last week as I expressed my concerns about the above mentioned
project in Palm River.
As you suggested, I am writing this email in hopes of being heard and voicing my concerns on how this development will
impact our community.
Let me start by saying that my husband and I are property owne rs in Palm River. Our condo sits along the canal adjoining
the Arthrex project. I am a nature lover and frequently paddle the waterway. I continue to be amazed at the abundance
of birds, otters, alligators, and turtles that share their home with us. It is truly a sanctuary.
One of my biggest concerns is the impact that higher buildings, bright lights, noise, and traffic will have on the
environment and habitat of birds (such as the endangered wood stork) and other wildlife that I regularly see in my
backyard.
Does Arthrex have a plan to minimally impact the land here, as well as preserve existing trees and vegetation that
border the area? Is there an option for lighting that would be less bright or directed downward so it doesn’t look like a
Walmart parking lot as we watch the sunset? I certainly hope these details will be given thought as the demolition and
construction go forward.
I also worry about how this proposed five story, multi-unit building and parking will fit in with the quiet community of
Palm River. In some respects, it is a throwback to old Florida here. Several of the structures date back to the 60’s,
including the iconic Fairways Inn. Many of the homes (including ours) are at least 50 years old, and none higher than two
stories, except the existing apartments. Having the prestigious LaPlaya golf course within our borders, the neighbors are
used to a dark night sky and tranquil views. We hate the thought of losing that.
Arthrex has yet to reveal any of the elevation views of the buildings. Will they consider trying to build something that
will be aesthetically comparable to the surrounding architecture? Otherwise, the entire ambience of our community will
be spoiled.
I do understand that change is inevitable and the need for housing is imperative. However, please take into
consideration how a site of this magnitude will affect us and all who inhabit Palm River. I respectfully request the
planning and zoning board require Arthrex to preserve and enhance the serenity we now enjoy in our lovely
neighborhood.
Most sincerely,
Elysia Andrews

Hi Laura. The CCPS bus stop is just south of the southeast corner of Palm River Blvd and Viking Way (see aerial below
depicting the bus stop location with a red stop symbol). I have confirmed that the driveway of the subject property is
not the stop. School buses do not stop at intersections and the driveway is at the intersection. Parents may be parking
at the driveway of the subject property to pick up children at the stop but the driveway is not the bus stop. While it is
accurate that the bus stop cannot be moved due to turn around problems along Palm River north of the intersection
with Viking its location is actually south of the area of concern.
Hope this helps. The applicant may want to contact our Transportation Department if they are concerned. In addition, if
they expect school age children they may want to provide a bus stop location as an amenity. If they wish to do so we
encourage them to contact our CCPS Transportation to site it at the best location.

After going to this area, it does not look safe for the buses to proceed further north on Palm River

Laura
I was recently made aware of the Arthrex project at 280 Palm River Blvd (PL20230011319) to convert
an existing apartment building to a 41 unit building for Arthrex new hires. I was not aware of the
public meeting recently held and I would like to be invited to the next one. As the president of the
Palm River Homeowners Civic Association, I will get many questions regarding this
project. Personally, I think Arthrex is an outstanding company and the project appears
commendable. I doubt the construction will be as impactful as the new bridge construction or the
infrastructure ongoing currently in Palm River. I look forward to being more involved in your
communication efforts here in Palm River. Thank you.
