months. People do know a big project is coming. Before we start the

d. Development Report by Laura DeJohn, Johnson Engineering (Attachment 3-
March Report)
• Ms. DeJohn advised that the temporary use permitting records were not pulled
for this meeting and would be made available next month.
• Zoning Petitions: [NOTE: Audio recording of this meeting had a delayed start
and actually started recording during Laura DeJohn’s presentation at item
number 10 below. Since there was no report attached relative to this
presentation, unable to fill in all of the needed information for items 1-9.]
1) Wild Pines Apartments
2) 3266 - zoning
3) 3050
4) 3030 Thomasson Drive – zoning request
5) 8080 Bayshore – verification of zoning
6) Shoreview – lot line adjustment – 2nd application
7) Brookside – rezone presented last month
8) Mangrove Rd – approved – all two bedroom units – site draw plan
9) Palm Street – Naples Hotel – 3rd submittal
10) Plantation Way is between Areca Avenue and Barrett Avenue and there is a
request to allow a 12X30 shed on that property.
11) The Areca Hotel and Condos had a pre-application meeting on March 19th
for a three story hotel building, with 12 rooms and a two story condo
building with 5 units. Expect changes – drawings submitted were met with
substantial comments by staff.
12) Windstar has a fitness center Site Development Plan amendment that's
continuing through the process. They also have asked for an administrative
parking reduction for their cart barn and fitness center expansion, but that's
inside Windstar.
13) Snappy Car Wash, presented in the past couple of months, went to the
Hearing Examiner and they were issued approval of their slight
modification to their landscaping along Davis Boulevard. They have now
submitted their 4th round of their Site Development Plan, so it is on its way
to get approved.
14) Justin's Village replat is off of Calusa. It's a St. Matthew's house project, and
they have now come in with all of their plat related material to replat in
support of a multifamily development. They got their zoning approval about
a year ago, and now the permitting is underway, for multifamily.
15) The Shadowlawn Drive multifamily project has been renamed to 9 South,
right near Connecticut. It went to the Hearing Examiner last Thursday, so
it takes within 30 days for the hearing examiner to issue a decision, and that
was for the request for the two bonus density units.

16) The Bayshore Warehouse was the proposed use along Bayshore for an event
center, and they got a zoning verification letter issued in early March,
indicating what they can and cannot do as far as events in that location.
17) 2891 Bayview Drive is an administrative parking reduction; that was the
360 Market. They got staff approval for their parking reduction request.
Discussion regarding approval of this parking reduction request.
18) Linwood Shop, who is a private owner who wanted to create a structure to
keep cars, and they had a insubstantial change that got approved in early
March for their private car storage building on Linwood.
19) Discussion on VRO or short-term vacation rental registration.
20) Discussion on PL23001721, Pine Street Car Wash.
21) Discussion on 4.2.16 Land Development.
22) Tami Scott, Project Manager Discussion on the 100 acres at the end of
Bayshore Drive after you go past Hawley. Opportunity to get in at the
beginning so we can ask for some things that we did not get before in earlier
phases. DeJohn suggested that it may require a change to the MSTU
boundary and that is something to look at too.
23) John Dunnuck advised that the owner of the property adjacent to
Rebecca’s intends to create some public parking in the form of a garage.
IX. Old Business: Tami Scott, MSTU Project Manager prepared a memorandum and
reported updates on current projects:
1) Irrigation: Received a quote from the new irrigation contractor, for two big
irrigation pumps that are projected to cost approximately $75,000. Also need
new controllers for the pumps. Staff is waiting on an additional quote from the
Motorola representative. Information will be shared once both quotes are
received. Equipment is compatible with Collier equipment; interchangeable.
Work is five years overdue. A proposal will be provided as soon as I get the
actual numbers.
2) Sidewalk Pavers: New paver company, Home Care Pressure Cleaning, LLC,
has started. He came out again on Friday and did a section from Becca down to
the parking lot. Anticipated to work once a month & do certain sections and
tackle it that way. We are on an end of the month schedule for repairs. If anyone
should see any area that needs attention, please contact and I can include that in
whatever section he is doing (ex. Trip hazards, etc.).
3) Crosswalk Study: Retained Atkins Engineering and they have provided staff
with two proposals studies—Bayshore Drive and Shadowlawn. Proposals are
currently with the Collier County transportation department for review and will
be presented to staff when approved with other Collier County agencies.
5
Shadowlawn is estimated at $155,000 through design ($32,000 design portion).
Bayshore is estimated at $247,000 through design ($47,000 design portion).
4) Vi age Marina: Staff is working on landscaping at Viage Marina from the new
fence along Bayshore Drive. The new landscaping was in agreement with the
marina during the SDP process to move the fence back to provide for additional
parking area, similar to what we did for Moorhead Manor.
5) Haldeman Creek Study: Staff has received the final proposal from Humiston &
Moore, information sent to procurement for approval. A budget amendment
was necessary to start the process. Proposal from Humiston & Moore close to
$40,859. Soon as we get that budget amendment, we will move forward with
that.
6) 17 Acres Boardwalk Project – 63 days into that project with a start date of
January 28, 2025. Majority of exotic vegetation is completed; need access from
gentleman on the island – he left and took house with him. Team is working on
solutions for the concrete debris. Balance of material – fill carbian baskets;
balance get road maintenance to take it from us. Got updated pay up schedule
today and completion date of December – entitled to that time – hoping we can
get it done sooner.
