As your Chairman of the CCPC, I am forwarding this email to briefly explain the issue related to the aƩached
request. And for the record, I also serve as the Chairman of the Fiddler’s Creek CDD1 Board of Supervisors.
The aƩached leƩer is requesƟng that the proposed rezoning of the Greenway-Fritchey GMPA and MPUD be removed
from the Summary Agenda to address the issue of a proporƟonal fair-share contribuƟon towards the final payment for
the design, permiƫng, and installaƟon of a traffic signal at the intersecƟon of US41 and Greenway Road-Sandpiper Drive
(entrance to Fiddler’s Creek). As noted in your agenda packet, the item was heard by the CCPC on October 16th and
received unanimous approval. The Greenway-Fritchey GMPA/MPUD is a great project and a superb example of a
tremendous partnership between Greenway Fritchey Land, LLC, the developer, and Habitat for Humanity to provide
needed affordable housing in Collier County. The CCPC noted as such during the public hearing; however, during the
hearing, the issue of the developer providing a fair-share contribuƟon towards the final payment for the traffic signal at
the US 41-Greenway/Sandpiper interchange was discussed, similar to the assessed contribuƟons for the two
neighboring developments at the intersecƟon. Though the issue of a fair-share contribuƟon was discussed, it was not
codified in the final approval, primarily due to the fact that the traffic signal was deemed essenƟally complete and would
be fully operaƟonal at the Ɵme of the first development order for the Greenway-Fritchey development.
Subsequently, on October 22nd, Fiddler’s Creek CDD1 and CDD2 Board of Supervisors held their monthly meeƟngs and
having learned of the vote by the CCPC, both CDDs directed their aƩorney, Tony Pires, to peƟƟon the BCC to have the
items removed from the Summary Agenda to have the BCC consider the inclusion of language in the MPUD as well as
the associated Developers ContribuƟon Agreement (DCA) to codify a requirement to provide a proporƟonal fair-share
contribuƟon towards the final payment for the traffic signal ciƟng that the residents of both CDDs are actually paying for
over 75% of the cost of the traffic signal through assessment in their O&M CDD taxes. As noted in the aƩached leƩer,
the traffic signal was iniƟally warranted and subsequently designed, permiƩed, and constructed under the management
of Fiddler’s Creek CDD2. Both CDD Boards believed that it is fair to assess the developers of the Greenway-Fritcchy
development for a fair-share contribuƟon, as this development will certainly benefit significantly from the installaƟon of
the traffic signal.
2
Your approval of the request to modify the MPUD ordinance will not be considered in any way to be an overturn of the
CCPC’s unanimous approval. It will simply be deemed as a reinforcement of the final approval.
RespecƟvely,
Joe

Dear Chairman Saunders.
Attached please find correspondence on behalf of both Fiddler’s Creek Community Development
District #1 (CDD#1) and Fiddler’s Creek Community Development District #2, (CDD#2), collectively
the “Districts”, concerning the above referenced items presently set for hearing before the Collier

By this correspondence the Districts object to the proposed rezoning PUDZ-PL20220002061 or its

attached letter are not included in the adopted RPUD Ordinance or the “companion” Developer
Contribution Agreement (“DCA”).
On behalf of the Districts it is respectfully requested that these 2 agenda items be removed from the
Summary Agenda and moved to the Regular Agenda to address the concerns and objections of the
Districts.
If you have any questions in advance of the Board meeting and hearings, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Dear Chairman Saunders.
This email is a follow up to my prior letter and email of Thursday, December 4, 2025, on behalf of
both Fiddler’s Creek Community Development District #1 (CDD#1) and Fiddler’s Creek Community
Development District #2, (CDD#2), collectively the “Districts”, concerning the 12.9.25 Agenda Item

After re-reading the Agenda, I noted that the proposed “companion” Developer Agreement is on the

On behalf of the Districts it is respectfully requested that all three (3) of these agenda items be
removed from the Consent Agenda and Summary Agenda and moved to the Regular Agenda to
address the concerns and objections of the Districts.
By this correspondence, in addition to the objection in my prior letter, the Districts object to the

“proportionate fair share” requirements for the subject Traffic Signal as outlined in my prior letter and
email of Thursday, December 4, 2025.

Subject:Mercato West - rezone request - Item #9b, BCC mtg. 10/28/25
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 Commissioner Hall,
Please do not approve the rezone request for the Mercato West condo project on U.S. 41 between
92nd and 93rd Avenues in Naples Park.
My biggest concern is that approval will set a precedent for zoning changes along U.S. 41 in Naples
Park. If you approve this rezone, how will you deny future rezone requests for other
C-3 zoned property in Naples Park? Mercato West is proposed at 50 ft. in height. What is there to
stop another developer from using the full 75 ft. that RMF-16 allows?
I understand that if the rezone is denied, the developer is considering a Live Local Project. I think
that a Live Local project is just as undesirable as the Mercato West project is at this location, but at
least the Live Local project will include some affordable housing, so if they must build residential, not
commercial, I think Live Local is the better option.
I would prefer to see a commercial project at this location.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Chris Carpenter
(Naples Park resident)
