Buildings 4 and 5 are designed in such a way that there are two building front facades on each of
the buildings. One of the front building facades is oriented towards a parking lot. The other
front building ti19ade is oriented towards the road right-of-ways.
In addition to the existing wall signage for each of the internal units that are currently oriented
towards the parking lot, the applicant is seeking to provide additional wall signage for each of
the internal units (noted as buildings 4 and 5 on the Site Plan) that are oriented towards the road
right-of-way. (Please refer to the Aerial below and Attachment A: Perspective and Attachment
B: Photos.)
As previously stated, the requested variance is from Section 5.06.04.F.4. of the Land Develop-
ment Code (LDC) which allows one (I) wall, mansard, canopy or awning sign for each unit in a
multi-occupancy parcel to allow two (2) wall, mansard, canopy or awning signs per unit in a
multi-occupancy parcel.
The result will be that each of the units will have a wall sign facing towards the parking lot and a
wall sign facing towards the road right-of-way.

SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North: parking lot of the Gateway Shoppes at North Bay shopping center, with a zoning
designation of Lawmetka Plaza PUD (Planned Unit Development)
South: Wiggins Pass Road (CR 888) then an automobile dealership, with a zoning designation
of C-4, General Commercial
East: Tamiami Trail North (US 41), then a convenience store with a zoning designation of
C-4, General Commercial
West: parking lot of the Gateway Shoppes at North Bay shopping center, then a strip shopping
center building, with a zoning designation of Lawmetka Plaza PUD (Planned Unit
Development)
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY:
The subject property is located in the Urban Designation, Mixed Use Activity Center Subdistrict
of the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). The GMP does not
address individual Variance requests but focuses on the larger issue of the actual use. The
Lawmetka PUD is consistent with the Future Land Use Map.
Based upon the above analysis, staff concludes that the proposed use for the subject site is
consistent with the Future Land Use Element, although the Variance request is not specifically
addressed.
ANALYSIS:
Section 9.04.00 of the LDC gives the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) the authority to grant
Variances. The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) is advisory to the BZA and
utilizes the provisions of Section 9.04.03.A through 9.04.03.H as general guidelines to assist in
making a recommendation. Staff has analyzed this petition relative to the evaluative criteria and
offers the following responses:
a. Are there special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the
location, size and characteristics ofthe land, structure or building involved?
Yes. The subject buildings noted on the Site Plan as buildings 4 and 5, as depicted on
Attachment A, are designed in such a way that the front of the buildings are not oriented
towards the road. The fronts of the buildings are inwardly oriented towards a parking lot.
What would typically be rear facades of the subject buildings are finished as front facades
facing towards a major arterial road, Tamiami Trail North (US 41) and Wiggins Pass Road
(CR 888) as depicted on Attachment B. Therefore, the applicant is seeking to provide
signage on these building facades that face toward the motorists traveling along these road
right-of-ways. There are a maximum of 5 proposed wall signs for each building fa<;:ade in
Building 4 and 5 that face towards the road right-of-ways.
b. Are there special conditions and circumstances which do not result from the action of
the applicant, such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property, which is the
subject of the variance request?

No. There are no special conditions or circumstances in regards to the above criteria. The
buildings are newly constructed.
c. Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDC work unnecessary and
undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties for the applicant?
No. However, the applicant contends that if a literal interpretation of the LDC provision is
applied, it will have an adverse effect on their ability to lease the tenant spaces. The
tenants would have to choose between a wall sign facing towards along the road right of-
way as depicted on Attachment C or a wall sign on the storefront facing towards the
parking lot.
d. Will the variance, if granted, be the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of
health, safety and welfare?
Yes. The purpose of the requested Sign Variance is to allow for additional wall signs that
are otherwise not permissible by code. As previously stated, the additional wall signs
would face a major arterial road, Tamiami Trail North (US 41) and Wiggins Pass Road
(CR 888). These additional wall signs will mimic the wall signs on the storefronts facing
towards the parking lot.
If the Conditions of Approval recommended by StatT are followed, the reasonable use of
land is possible.
e. Will granting the variance confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied
by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning
district?
Yes. A Variance by definition confers some dimensional relief from the zoning regulation,
specific to a site. The granting of the Sign Variance request would allow for additional wall
signs on each of the two building unit facades that face towards the road right-of-ways.
This sign variance confers special privilege on the applicant.
f. Will granting the variance be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
Land Development Code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare'!
Yes. Section 5.06.0I.A. of the LDC states that the purpose and intent of the LDC relative
to signage is to ensure that all signs are:
I. Compatible with their surroundings;
2. Designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manncr that does not
endanger public safety or unduly distract motorists;
3. Appropriate to the type of activity to which they pertain;
SV-PL2009-1165
Date Revised: 11-12-09
Page 6 of 8
4. Large enough to convey sufficient information about the owner or occupants
of a particular property, the products or services available on the property, or
the activities conducted on the property, and small enough to satisi)' the needs
for regulation;
5. Reflective of the identity and creativity of the individual occupants.
In staffs opinion, the request for the additional wall signs advances these objectives.
g. Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the
goals and objectives of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf courses,
etc.?
No. There are no natural or physically induced conditions.
h. Will granting the variance be consistent with the Growth Management Plan?
Yes. Approval of this Variance petition would be consistent with the GMP since it would
not affect or change any of the GMP's requirements.
EAC RECOMMENDATION:
The Environmental Advisory Council does not normally hear Variance petitions and did not hear
this petition.
COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW:
The County Attorney Office has reviewed the staff report for SV-PL2009-1165 revised on
November 12,2009.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) forward Petition SV-
PL-2009-1165 to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) with a recommendation of approval
subject to the following conditions of approval that have been incorporated into the attached
resolution:
I. The additional wall signs are limited to Building 4 and 5 unit facades facing towards
Tamiami Trail North (US 41) and Wiggins Pass Road (CR 888).

I. The property will retain the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for its golf courses,
and it shall be subjcct to the rules and regulations for golf course operations for properties
designed as neutral lands under the County's Growth Management Plan.
2. No density has been awarded by virtue of approval of this rezone.
3. Any uses or changes shall be brought back to the Collier County Planning Commission in
the form of a Planned Unit Development process for review and approval of all categories
as if it were a Planned Unit Development.
4. The setback on the western boundary of the property shall be 100 feet to allow County to
acquire easements, if needed, in the future.
The petition was scheduled for a June 9, 2009 Board of County Commissioner's (BCC) hearing,
but the petitioner submitted a continuance request on April 30, 2009, asking that the petition be
continued to September 9, 2009. The petitioner stated that the continuance was being requested
to allow the petitioner to coordinate "with staff to work throughlunderstand the CCPC
recommendation." (Sec Attachment #1).
The petitioner has indicated that he wishes to have the CCPC re-visit stipulations 2 and 3 that
were included in the CCPC recommendation because he believes the stipulation wording is
confusing. In any case, the petitioner has submitted a Conceptual Rezone Master Plan dated
October 2009 (See Attachment #2), to address the CCPC concerns. The CCPC discussion at the
April 2, 2009 hearing and the subsequent stipulation #3 indicated that that the CCPC did not
appear to have any comfort level without some details about the proposed development (See
Attachment # 3, Excerpt from the April 2,2009 CCPC minutes).
In response to Stipulation #3, the petitioner depicts a "future development envelope" on the
Conceptual Rezone Site Plan within which any additional permitted uses, such as dwelling units
could be constructed. This document includes the applicable property development regulations of
the Rural Fringe Zoning District from the Land Development Code (LDC) to which development
on this site would adhere.
ATTACHED INFORMATION:
The Staff Report prepared for the April 2, 2009 Planning Commission meeting is attached (See
Attachment #4) along with a draft Ordinance that includes the CCPC original recommended
stipulations (see Attachment #5). Another draft ordinance (see Attachment #6) has been provided
that removes the original stipulations 2 and 3 and renumbers the remaining stipulations.
In addition, the supplemental information provided by the petitioner is attached to include:
1) A Conceptual Rezone Master Plan dated, October 2009 (See Attachment #2)
2) A letter dated August 20, 2009 (see Attachment #7)

ANALYSIS:
Environmental Review: Environmental staff has reviewed this petition and has concerns about
the document that has been provided by the petitioner. Section 10.02.02 A 7 h of the Collier
County LDC lists exceptions to the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for conventional
rezones without a site plan. A conventional rezone with no site plan or proposed development
plan. This exemption does not apply to lands that include any of the following zoning, overlays or
critical habitats: Conservation (CON), Special Treatment (c':;T), Area of Critical State Concern
(ACSC), Natural Resource Protection Areas (N RP A's), Rural Fringe Mixed Use (RFMU) Sending
Lands, Xeric Scrub, Dune and Strand, Hardwood Hammocks, or any land occupied by listed
species or defined by an appropriate State or Federal agency to be critical foraging habitat for
listed species.
This rezone petition no longer meets this exemption. An EIS review and approval by the
Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), including preserve designation, should be required at
this time since the location of required preservation may significantly alter the site plan provided
by the applicant.
Zoning Review: The Department of Zoning and Land Development Review staff has reviewed
the concerns raised by Environmental staff and the information provided by the petitioner. Staff
has also reviewed the minutes of the April 2, 2009 CCPC hearing.
Zoning staff recognizes the concerns raised by Environmental staff, but believes Note #5 on the
conceptual plan makes it clear that it is not the petitioner's intention to side-step any
environmental issues with the submission of this conceptual plan. It is staffs opinion that the
petitioner is attempting to reach a compromise between the CCPe's request for more detail, while
taking advantage of the LDe's allowance for conventional rezoning requests wherein a petitioner
has the opportunity to rezone without strict adherence to a detailed site plan. Furthermore, the
petitioner acknowledges that any subsequent developments applications would include an EIS
and future projects would be required to undergo EAC review.
The petitioner wants the CCPC to remove stipulations #2 and #3. The petitioner believes that the
Growth Management Plan (GMP) and LDC offer sufficient regulations and safeguards to address
the development of the subject tract if the rezone to the Agricultural Zoning District is approved
without those stipulations.
The petitioner wishes to have Stipulation #2 removed as it is unnecessary because no specific
density was sought as part of this rezoning request thus the GMP requirements would be the
prevailing document to address density when further development order approvals (beyond
rezoning) are sought. The developer would have to comply with whatever density regulations are
in effect at that time.
The petitioner wishes to have Stipulation #3 removed, finding that it is confusing given the type
of request, i.e., a "conventional" rezone request, not a PUD rezone request. Requiring future
development order submittals (SDP andlor Plats) to be approved by the CCPC "for review and
Supplemental Staff Report for December 3, 2009 CCPC
Olde Florida Golf Club. RZ-2008-AR-139S1
Revised November 3, 2009
Page 3 of 6
approval of all categories as if this petition were a Planned Unit Development is a confusing
stipulation. Staff notes that the BCC has not adopted any fee to cover the cost of this type of
application and there are no review criteria in the LDC with which to review a rezone petition as
if it were a PUD. A project either is, or is not, a PUD. In this case the project is not a PUD. In
any case, SDP and Plats are NOT reviewed by the CCPC for other for projects, whether the
zoning designation is PUD or some conventional zoning district.
The BCC has implemented the LDC which contains procedures for staff to review applications
seeking development approval review, such as the SDP process or the platting process. The SDP
process is administrative, allowing staff to review the submittal for compliance with all
appropriate regulations. The SDP procedures contain adequate safeguards to address all site-
related issues. Development of the site would need to be compliant with all requirements. In the
platting process, while the majority of the review is done administratively, the final plat does
require BCC approval. There is no need to require another review process for this project; the
regulations now in effect should adequately address and protect the public health, safety and
welfare.
As noted above, the petitioner placed the applicable property development regulations of the
Rural Fringe Zoning District from the LDC on the site plan. Again, this is only a reiteration of
the requirements of the LDC; it is no more than, or no less than, what any similarly situated
developer would be required to comply. The requirements would be applicable whether they are
contained on an exhibit provided by the petitioner or not.
Stipulation #1, although reiterations of LDC and GMP, is a site-specific stipulation related to a
unique circumstance on the subject site. Stipulation #4 is a site-specific stipulation related to a
unique circumstance on the subject site as well. The petitioner does not object to stipulations #1
and #4.

Excerpts from April 2, 2009
Collier County Planning Commission Hearing Minutes
For Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
PETITION: RZ-2008-AR-13951, OLDE FLORIDA GOLF CLUB, INC.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Next one is Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, the Olde Florida Golf
Club, Inc., represented by John Passidomo. It's on the Vanderbilt Beach Road extension.
All those wishing to testify on behalf of this item, please rise to be swom in by the court
reporter.
(Speakers were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Disclosures on the part of the Planning Commission?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I had one or two conversations with John Passidomo regarding the
issues today on the agreement from the past. And we will certainly be discussing all those today.
Anybody else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Hearing none, we'll move forward.
John, it's all yours.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morrung, Mr. Chairman, Commissioners. My name is John Passidomo. My address is
821 Fifth Avenue South, in the City of Naples.
Our firm represents Olde Florida Golf Club, Inc. in agenda Item 9.C before you for
consideration this morrung.
Our project team is comprised of Project Planner Margaret Perry, Transportation Engineering
Jeff Perry and Senior Ecologist Tom Trettis of Wilson-Miller. All are available to respond to any
technical questions in their respective fields of expertise.
Olde Florida Golf Club member, corporate secretary and owner's representative, Bill Barton,
and Olde Florida Golf Club General Manager Tom Wildenhaus, are also available to address any
operational, historical or practical questions you may have concerrung the property.
The subject property is comprised of approximately 554 acres of land located on the north side
of Vanderbilt Beach Road, two miles east of Collier Boulevard.
It is designated rural fringe mixed use district neutral land by the Future Land Use Element of
the Growth Management Plan, and contains an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, supporting facilities
and open space.
Permitted uses as of right within the rural fringe neutral land designation include agriculture,
single-family homes and golf courses.
Back in 1991, prior to the creation of the rural fringe, at a time when Collier County's appetite
for golf courses and golfers seemed insatiable, the property was rezoned from agricultural to golf
course, and the existing golf course was thereafter built in what was then assumed to be the first oftwo
golf courses on the property.
Today of course two golf courses no longer make sense, as changing conditions render the golf
course zoning, which only allows golf course, clubhouse, maintenance facilities and a caretaker's
residence archaic.
The petition before you therefore proposes to rezone the property from golf course to rural
fringe, neutral land agriculture to achieve three principal objectives: First, to align the zoning of a land
with permitted uses as of right under the future land use designation for the property.
Second, to ensure compatibility with adjacent agriculturally zoned land.

And third, while continuing use of the part of the property for the existing golf course, to
provide flexibility for a broad range of permitted uses to be able to respond to market conditions as
they emerge for the balance of the property.
No development plans are proposed because at this stage none are being considered. A
standard rezone application that does not require a master plan is therefore presented to you for
consideration this morning.
We appreciate staffs recommendation of approval and respectfully request your
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners of approval.
I'll be happy to try to respond to any questions you may have, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, that was short, John. Thank you.
Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Good morning, sir.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Good morning, sir.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Would you be kind enough to illustrate there n we have that
on the computer screen. Would you show us where the houses would be built, if you know?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: We don't know.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Do you know whether or not the golf course will be impacted
as a result of this building?
MR. PASSIDOMO: We assume not, but we don't know.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: So it is possible that the golf course can be reconfigured, or it
could be -- I think there are two golf courses there, right?
MR. PASSIDOMO: There is one existing golf course. There were two originally
contemplated.
COMMISSIONER MURRA Y: Oh, I see.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: But there's one existing. And there's no market for a second golf course.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Right. Well, I was concerned whether or not you were going
to reconfigure the golf course and move it around in anticipation of putting housing in.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: No, Mr. Murray. The likelihood of that is extraordinarily remote.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay. All right. And let me see if! had one more question.
Oh, yes. In utilities review, I noted that -- okay, the county may not be in a position yet to
move out there with sewer and water and so forth. I think they have water, they don't have sewer.
How will the -- what is it, one to five acres? Will they put in a septic system now or can they
facilitate by also introducing sewer, piping? Is that part of the plan?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: There is no plan. There's nothing on the radar screen. And they'll abide
by the regulations as they're in place at the time when they're prepared to move forward.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: So that would become an additional expense at a later time.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Probably considerable as well. Okay, thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Midney?
COMMISSIONER MIDNEY: Yeah, I have a question. It's probably my own ignorance, but
why are you going to agricultural zoning as opposed to a PUD? It's not that you're contemplating
farming the area. Could you explain that to me, please?
MR. PASSIDOMO: Thank you, Mr. Midney.

Well, we wanted to do three things, as we indicated: Most importantly to align the uses in the
zoning with the uses as contemplated for neutral lands under the Growth Management Plan. And those
permitted uses as of right include not only agriculture but also the single-family dwelling units and the
golf courses.
The existing zoning land only permits golf courses as a permitted use. We want to be able at
the appropriate time, when the market can accommodate it, be able to respond to a demand for any of
the uses within the rural lands agricultural zoning designation.
COMMISSIONER MIDNEY: And I had another question, too.
Under maximum density, it's one dwelling unit per five gross acres, but for maximum lot sizes
only one acre. Could you explain that discrepancy.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: You may want to ask staff. That's what the code says.
COMMISSIONER MIDNEY: Oh, okay.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Are there any other questions of the applicant?
Mr. Kolflat, then Mr. Schiffer.
COMMISSIONER KOLFLAT: What is the tax burden on that property at the moment, and
how will that be affected with a change of zoning?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Kolflat, I don't know what the tax burden is. I think I may have the
property appraiser's record somewhere. But unlike the typical kind of situation where you can
eventually expect to see when you down-zone -- when the property's zoned agriculture, the amount of
uses are reduced. Here the amount of uses would actually be increased. So we have no way of
knowing how the property appraiser will look at this piece of property.
But the appraisal will not -- the appraised value will not go down because the amount of uses
that actually are permitted will go up.
COMMISSIONER KOLFLAT: But the taxes would go down, would they not, with this
change?
MR. PASSIDOMO: No, sir. No, sir. Because right now the property can be used for only
golf course and related facilities. Upon the standard rezone, the property could be used for golf course
but could also be used for agriculture and for single-family dwelling units. So there's no reason to
believe the taxes would go down.
COMMISSIONER KOLFLAT: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Access to the site right now is through an extension of
essentially lining up with Vanderbilt Beach Road; is that right?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: That's right, Mr. Schiffer. There's I think an Existing Conditions Access
Management Plan that Mr. Perry may have submitted. I'd be happy to display it, if you'd like to see it.
But there's a series of publicly dedicated right-of-ways and private easements that lead in that
two miles from Collier Boulevard.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And does this property have -- in the extension ofVanderbiIt,
where will this property be located, on the other side of the canal or on -- in other words, where does
the VanderbiIt extension go in relation to this property?
MR. PASSIDOMO: There is also a Future Conditions Access Management Plan that's in this
submittal. And I'll be happy to display that, if you'd like to see it.

You can see that. I think what you see there is the future condition with the realigned
Vanderbilt Beach Road extension, and then a connector illustrated in the yellow highlight, connecting
that to the existing right-of-way pattern that runs east/west.
And again, that's in the materials I think that were circulated to you.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And that's in the packet? Anybody else find it?
You said it's in here somewhere?
COMMISSIONER CARON: It's attached, Commissioner Schiffer, to a sheet that is labeled
excerpt from January 28th, 2009, letter from the agent responding to county questions.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Thank you.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Thank you, sir.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Did you have anything else, Brad?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So essentially what's going to happen, the extension is going
to hop across the canal, and you'll be on the other side of it, as opposed to running -- why wouldn't it
be -- well, I think that's a -- never mind. Logic long gone.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Any other questions of the applicant?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: John, can you put that thing that was back up here up there? Ray, or
whoever had the overhead on there, could you leave the one that was on the overhead on? I don't
know who had it. No, not that one, the original one you started with. Okay.
That piece of property is owned by -- how is that n I think 1 read the disclosure, 275 different
people?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: 275 different people are the shareholders in the corporate entity of Olde
Florida Golf Club that's the lot holder.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. And are they divided up into lots so you know what they own,
or they just own a piece of that whole thing?
MR. PASSIDOMO: The corporation owns--
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Yeah, the corporation.
MR. PASSIDOMO: The shareholders own the corporation.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I know, Mr. Murray, I know the answer, I wanted it for the record
from Mr. Passidomo.
Thank you.
Through their ownership process, when did that corporation -- when was that corporation
formed as the owner of this property?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: I frankly don't know. I think the property was acquired in two different
parts, one in 1993 and one in 1997. But beyond that, I don't know.
Mr. Barton's here and he could give you some historical perspective, if you'd like him to
testifY .
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Do you know when the corporation was formed?
MR. PASSIDOMO: No, sir, I don't.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. In the agreement that was signed by this group for the
Ordinance 91-16, it says the -- it's on Page 3 of the recorded instrument. On the top on number four,
last item said n it said, the applicant should be advised that future land development activities in the
area may be subject to future land use control, consistent with the above regulations.

I've heard you talk, and you keep referring to this as going back to ago land. Well, this is a
neutral area in the rural fringe. I'm sure you mean neutral area, is that -- it's going back to neutral lands
designation?
MR. PASSIDOMO: Yes, it is. It is clearly designated neutral lands right now. I didn't mean
to suggest it's going back to the same agricultural zoning it enjoyed in 1991. It's going back to a newly
created land use zoning category which is neutral land agriculture.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. I have a series of other questions, but I've certainly got to get
transportation up in a minute.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: The applicant shall grant a maintenance easement to South Florida
Water Management District/Big Cypress Basin over that portion of this property which lies within the
needed 20-foot maintenance easement along the Cypress Canal, measured from the top of bank.
Do you know if that's been done?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: No, sir, I don't. I assume it has been done, but I have no reason to believe
it has not been done.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. There's a paragraph in this agreement concerning the roadway,
and it concerns Vanderbilt Beach Road. And I notice from one of the aerials provided in the package
that Vanderbilt Beach Road extends from 951 straight over until it hits your property, and then it has to
cross the canal.
And I'm not sure after that where it goes, because my maps don't go that far. But based on a
reduced aerial, I notice that the other properties to the east have land to the south of them, it looks like
enough to fit the road. Yours seem to be the only problem in that extension.
And that extension, by going across the canal, has created additional cost for bridges and taken
out people's homes. Yet in your agreement that was signed -- and this is more of a question for staff, I
don't know how it's going to affect you yet, but I want to make sure I state it for the record so staff can
explain it when I get transportation up here. The petitioner shall extend the Vanderbilt Beach Road
from its terminus to the project's west property line. Such construction shall be in accordance with
county standards as set forth in Ordinance 82-91, in the subdivision regulation's ordinance 76.6.
The roadway shall parallel the southern boundaries of Sections 35 and 36, Township 48 South,
Range 26 East and positioned adjacent to the Cypress Canal to the south.
And it looks like that's what was done.
So transportation will have to explain this, but it's apparent that the road was intended to go
straight through, but for some reason they didn't go through your property. I think that's convenient for
you. I'm not saying it's wrong or right, but I want to understand staffs reasoning on that. So that's why
I belabored this point a little bit, to explain to you where I'm going to go next with them.
I see Mike Green back there, he's going to have fun with that.
The staff report says you intend to preserve the 18-hole golf course and permit the addition of
up to 110 single-family homes. Do you know how that lID was arrived at? How did you come up
with that number?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: It's a function of the zoning under the proposed zoning district, one unit
per five acres.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: How do you figure that's five acres for that? Because according to
the neutral lands LDC requirements under density, maximum gross density: The maximum gross
density in neutral lands shall not exceed one dwelling unit per five gross acres (.2 dwelling units per

acres), except that the maximum gross density for those legal nonconforming lots or parcels in
existence as of June 22nd, 1999 shall be one dwelling unit per lot or parcel.
Now, your testimony was that that was one parcel by a corporation prior to '99. So that means
you get one unit. I'm just wondering how you get around that.
MR. PASSIDOMO: No, sir, I don't think we get one unit. The parcel is 554 acres. One unit
per five acres is 110 units.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, well maybe J -- or somebody at staff can explain that to me.
Because if you get more units, I think you'd have to go into some kind ofTDR process or whatever to
increase the density through the clustering provisions. But if this was one parcel prior to '99 and that
language says that, I don't know how you'd qualify for 110 units.
And by the way, John, I didn't mention this to you when I talked to you yesterday, because as I
told you when you and I talked, I would have to look at this language last night, and so that's when I
read the language.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Thank you, Mr. Strain.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So I didn't have a chance to even bring it up to staff either.
But I certainly, from Kay or staffs perspective, I'd like an explanation of that sentence and
how it applies to this parcel.
And if this isn't considered a parcel that's practical for that application, then where's the
limitation that does say a parcel of such size doesn't apply to that application? Because I don't see it.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, I might respectfully suggest that that's a question of
interpretation of the code. We're very comfortable with our own interpretation of the code. And the
question before the commission this morning is simply whether the property is appropriate to be
rezoned from the golf course zoning district to the fringe neutral lands agricultural zoning district.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, but the n unfortunately the staff report is replete with
references to 110 single-family homes. And I think you had a TIS or something provided in other
documents that referenced 110.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Yes, sir, we--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So they're in the record. Now I want to make sure that the record's
correct. And if it takes an interpretation from staffto do that, I certainly want that interpretation before
this -- before I can understand what this means, so n
MR. PASSIDOMO: Understood.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Just a comment I have to make to you on that one. And when staff
gets up here, we can get into that.
Another thing, since you -- one of the items in your agreement concerning the future land use
-- or future land use regulations that you agreed to abide by, I know you cannot do the Audubon
Signature Program, but is there a commitment that the Audubon's Cooperative Sanctuary Program will
be followed?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: It has in fact been designated.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
And there was an item, I guess this is a staff issue, on density blending. Because I now find
out that you're not qualified for density blending, so I'll get that clarification from staff. Because that's
inconsistent apparently with the report.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Don't need density blending.

CHAIRMAN STRAlN: And the last thing I think during the NIM, one resident wanted
clarification there be no commercial uses. I didn't fmd an answer in this write-up that we received. Is
there any commercial uses being planned for this property?
MR. PASSIDOMO: No uses are being planned for this property, Mr. Chairman. The -- no
commercial uses are permitted in the zoning district to which we make application, so the simple
answer is that none are contemplated and none will be permitted.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, if I could respond to the first question about the 1991
agreement--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes.
MR. PASSIDOMO: -- for part of that rezone?
You may want to make -- what I've done is taken the liberty of showing you the existing
conditions. And this is in your packet, so I hope you've had an opportunity to peruse this before.
But what you can see is this is the two-mile stretch running east on Vanderbilt Beach Road
extension as it exists today from Collier Boulevard. And what you can see from this is that there were
a series of publicly dedicated right-of-ways and private easements that led right up to the Golf Club of
the Everglades.
And what happened upon submission of this, the prior application in 1989 to rezone the
property from ago to golf course is there was not legal access all the way to Olde Florida. And those
proceedings were suspended until Olde Florida was able to actually acquire that last leg that you see
designated there in this kind of yellow color. You see the reference to easement and the recording
information to that easement.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah, I read all the testimony from November of 1990, I believe, and
then the fmal on February 21st of '91. And that's consistent with everything that reads there.
But that also strengthens my argument that the intention of Vanderbilt Beach Road extension
was to continue on. How it didn't go through your property but yet they made every other property
prior to yours provide that extension distance is a little puzzling to me. And that's another issue we'll
get into in a minute or two.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Chair, you're going to want to pose that to staff, but let me suggest to
you that in 1991 no one thought Vanderbilt Beach Road was going to go beyond this terminus. And
Mr. Barton was here at that time, he can testifY to that effect. It certainly wasn't in the contemplation
of the Board of County Commissioners in 1991 that they were designating an alignment for a road that
wouldn't come to fruition until 15 years thereafter. It was not any plans, it wasn't within contemplation
by anybody.
The simple references in the agreement to which we refer are an absolute insurance that access
was acquired to the property so it didn't -- it wouldn't alter the means of access through the residential
lots in Golden Gate Estates.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, ironically there's some parcels to the east that have a section or
portions of their property stopping shy of that canal, which to me they would have only done that so a
road was coming through. How it was missed on your propert -- and it's not -- I'm not saying it's
through any fault of yours. I just want to find out from transportation where their mindset was and how
that, if anything, be corrected through any process here today. So thank you.
Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Yeah, I just want to truly understand.

I gather that this was -- this is forward planning now. In other words, you made a statement
that you're not going to do anything with the property, you just want to rezone.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: So any change in taxation would only occur on the occasion
ofthe first structure being introduced; in other words, a house. Would that be a correct statement?
MR. PASSIDOMO: Well, you want to talk to the property appraiser about that, but I'm not
sure that is a correct statement. The fact is the property appraiser assessed value of land and
improvements, and one of the things they consider when they assess the value of the land is what you
can do with the land.
COMMISSIONER MURRA Y: Right, I understand that part.
In other words, the moment you would get the rezoning, the value of the land increases,
effectively, because the taxation rate would be applied; wouldn't that be correct?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: I'm not going to acknowledge it's going to increase or decrease, but
somebody could come to that reasonable conclusion.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay. And I too share the concern that I hear expressed, and I
didn't express mine as strongly as I would like to have with regard to the changes that were made with
regard that road and how others have been impacted by it.
And I appreciate that the corporation sees a future, but I see a juxtaposition there that doesn't
seem very fair to me. But that's just --
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Murray, with all due respect, the only issue in front of the Planning
Commission today --
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I understand.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: -- is the proposed rezone. The Board of County Commissioners made
their determination a couple of years ago as to the appropriate aligmnent of that road. Presumably
there was a rational basis for their decision, and we respectfully request it's not appropriate to retry that
now when the only issue before the Planning Commission is the rezoning request.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I understand that. In my heart, though, I had to make my
comment.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Thank you, sir.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Any other questions of the applicant at this time before we go to
staff?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, thank you, John.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Staff report.
MS. DESELEM: Good morning again. For the record, Kay Deselem, Principal Planner with
Zoning.
You do have the staff report, which is revised 3/17 of '09. And you have the -- on Page I, the
requested action explains the geographic location.
And on Page 2 is the description of the project that coincides with what the petitioner has
explained as well. It shows you the surrounding land use at the bottom of that page.
And on Page 3 it goes into the Growth Management Plan consistency review, and that's
already been hit on to some extent already. It does identify that it's in the neutral lands. Talks about
the maximum density and allowable uses within that, and specifically addresses the golf course or the
Attachment #3
Page 8 of 32
Excerpts from April 2, 2009

For Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
driving range within that also. And it does talk about some of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary
programs that were identified for this parcel. Talks about the native vegetation and preservation
requirements.
And there was a question, it talks about the density blending, and no density blending is
proposed for the subject site.
There was a question posed to staff from Mark Strain, and it has been explained by David
Weeks that this parcel is not applicable to have these density bonus units. So that even though it says
they're not -- blending is not proposed, they don't qualify for it anyway, so they would not be doing
that.
There is a transportation element discussion on Page 7 wherein transportation staff finds that
the roadway network has sufficient capacity to accommodate the maximum density that could be
allowed by the compo planning. Explains the Vanderbilt Beach Road impacts and the County 951
impacts.
Also explains that there are no environmental issues on this particular project as part of the
rezoning. Any issues that would arise would be addressed later in the development order process.
Staff does provide an analysis begirming on Page 7. And it touches on the transportation
review, environmental review, utilities review, and goes into more depth as far as zoning and
development review.
You have rezone findings begirming on Page 9 and going through to the end of the report that
support staff's recommendation that this petition be found consistent with the Growth Management
Plan, and we are recommending approval of the petition.
And as you've already discussed, Michael Green from transportation is also here to address
specific transportation concerns you may have.
With that, if you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to address them.
CHAlRMAN STRAIN: Questions of staff'?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Hearing none, Kay, I have one, and it goes back to the question. I
read the report where it said the maximum density one per five gross acres, but the italicized reference
from the LDC that was put in our report was not the complete paragraph that's in the LDC when it talks
about maximum gross density. Besides saying it's one to five, it goes on and provides the exception
that I read earlier.
Do you have any -- do you know why that exception wouldn't apply to this case?
MS. DESELEM: This particular portion of the staff report was prepared by compo planning.
But I'm not saying that I don't know, I'm just saying that that's where it came from. And I don't know
why it wasn't put in.
But my understanding is that this particular site would be reviewed as an overall site. I don't
know that it would be limited to one unit for the overall size of the project. In fact, in the staff report it
does say that they would be allowed that maximum density of 110 dwelling units.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: But they derive the density from this simple calculation of the first
few words in the -- under the neutral land designation, which simply said one dwelling unit per five
gross acres, and it didn't tell us if they took into consideration the exception that's there involving the
date.
And I remember when that happened when -- I was in this county when the Governor put that
moratorium in place. And because they were changing a lot of things, they were concerned about the
Attachment #3
Page 9 of 32
Excerpts from April 2, 2009
Collier County Planning Commission Hearing Minutes
For Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
size of some of the lots out there. And I think there was another property to the south called
Hobschmits (phonetic) or some -- there was a big lawsuit to the south around a large piece of property
over their calculation of density. And I don't remember the name of the owner. It started with an H,
Hubsman or something like that.
But if that's -- if this is applicable, then that 110 is in question. And since that's on the table
here in this staff report, I certain! y would like to get an answer for it.
And I know David was here. At the time I didn't have the question, because I thought it would
be answered by you all, so I should have asked him when he was here this morning, but I failed to do
that. Ifhe's listening and could either e-mail Ray or call in or something, I'd appreciate it, so __
MS. DESELEM: Well, I can state that this is information and it talks about a maximum
density that could be sought, but in no case does this rezoning approval grant any density. That would
all be addressed through the development order process. This is just general guidelines as to what the
maximum could be. But in no case are we approving that density for this rezoning.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, then maybe a solution without a further clarification
would simply be that there's no density provided through this rezone process, it will have to come out
of any application in the future.
COMMISSIONER MORRAY: Right.
MS. DESELEM: Right, that would be -- this is just general information as to maximums that
could be allowed. Density isn't by right anyway. You know, you're eligible to seek it, but there are no
givens. You don't know what the configuration of the site might be, you don't know how they might
design it. It might turn out that they can get, you know, some other number, 52, 47, 75. We don't
know. We're just evaluating what the maximum that could be allowed as a general information. But
the rezoning is not conditioned upon any density number.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. In your staff report on Page 10, number five. In the future it's
just a reference I'd like to mention to you. The second sentence of that answer says, the proposed
zoning change is appropriate because its relationship to the FLUE is positive.
Well, I think you mean is consistent in what you -- I don't know why you would be the judge
of it being positive or not being positive under the material provided here today.
MS. DESELEM: Yeah, the term positive is to mean that it's consistent rather than
inconsistent. With the understanding that inconsistent would be negative, consistent would be positive.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, consistent also -- I mean positive also means there's a plus side
to approving this. I haven't seen that yet other than -- I haven't seen it, other than someone's going to
make some money somewhere. I don't know, the tax -- county may increase taxes if homes are
developed. But I just would think consistent is a better word in the future.
Under number seven, the text of number seven reads differently than what your answer I think
says. It says, in the first sentence, whether the change will create, and then the word or, or excessively
increase traffic congestion.
So if you take out the word "or excessively", because it's saying create or excessively increase,
your answer is, the proposed change will not create or excessively increase traffic congestion.
Well, we know it will create traffic con -- more -- increase traffic if they put anything on there
besides the golf course. And I guess that's the premise under the 110 or any kind of additional housing
that they could possibly change with their zoning application. Which if we stipulate they don't get any
density, I guess that question goes away, so I've just answered my own question.
MS. DESELEM: That was easy for me. Thank you.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, I didn't know you were going to -- I didn't know my first
answer was going to be what it was, so that created no need for the second answer.
Okay, that's all -- unless there's more questions of staff, transportation needs to address some
issues. Thank you.
MR. GREEN: Michael Green, Transportation Planning.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Michael, I mentioned to you yesterday my question for today
concerning the Vanderbilt Beach Road extension, and you were going to try to do some research.
Why was -- if Vanderbilt Beach Road was such an issue, and I read the minutes of the
meetings back in '90 and '91, they really -- the board at the time was insistent that this project make
sure that road got to the west side their project.
And I notice some properties to the east of this project have spacing above the canal on the
north side narrow enough to make it appear as though it's a road alignment spacing or something of
that nature.
Why was this project not considered to have Vanderbilt Beach Road extension run through it?
MR. GREEN: I couldn't find in the LRTP at the time that the Vanderbilt Beach Road
extension was planned to go beyond. So much like we're doing today with the LDC 10.02.05(E), we
require that the project extend public access to their site. To their site. Not like we did with the school
or the church on Canon and Molder off of Immokalee, the same conditions. They're having to improve
those roads down to their site, show us that they have easements and legal rights. But that doesn't
mean that there's an intent to continue those through their site to the extent of the rest of the network.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So you're saying when this project came in for approval in 1991,
there was no plan that showed the Vanderbilt Beach Road extension going further east than the western
terminus of this project?
MR. GREEN: I did not see one.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
Ms. Caron?
COMMISSIONER CARON: Before you go on.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah, go right ahead. I've still got more, but --
COMMISSIONER CARON: Just before you go on, though, and leave that point.
Then why in their agreement is there under a transportation commitment number one should
the developer or other property owners wish to extend Vanderbilt Beach Road, they have to do it
according to your specs.
So obviously there was some consideration at the time of extending that road by these people.
And at the time they would have to have been using their own property, unless they were going to go
out and buy, like you all have, and I doubt that seriously.
MR. GREEN: You see the condition under planning in the section above transportation?
COMMISSIONER CARON: Right.
MR. GREEN: It's strictly a requirement that they extend the road to their property.
COMMISSIONER CARON: I understand that.
MR. GREEN: The section under transportation is worded if they choose to.
Like I said, today -- and I don't know that this was necessarily in our LDC in '91, but what we
use today is 1O.02.05(E). It's in our LDC. We request that they show that they have legal access to
their property and that they improve to county standards roads that they use to access it.
COMMISSIONER CARON: There was intent here, in my opinion.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Prior to my discussion with you yesterday, were you aware of this
agreement?
MR. GREEN: I hadn't read it personally. I pulled it after our discussion.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: There's been a lot of study on the Vanderbilt Beach Road extension,
there's been a lot of coni1ict on that issue. And some of the people involved in this, I being at time to
time one, I don't remember ever seeing this agreement before until it happened to come to us today as a
result of the change that the petitioner is requesting.
I think it's interesting that the language in the agreement -- and I wish that language had been
introduced to the BCC at the time they made the decision to move this road south of the canal and the
cost that's incurring to taxpayers of the hundreds of millions of dollars to do this route the way it is
now when we had language that may have helped with a different argument back then.
MR. GREEN: May have. But this language doesn't undo the eight or so well sites that public
utilities has along the north side of the canal that would also -- are an immense cost to relocate, if you
were to put the Vanderbilt Beach Road extension across there.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: They have well sites all over the county.
Under the transportation element on Page 7, the reference write-up, it says it's got a 6.8 percent
significant impact on the roadway. And it says, this segment of Vanderbilt Beach Road is currently in
the right-of-way acquisition process to accommodate a plan expansion outside the five-year capital
improvement plan. The remaining capacity and level of service are not currently reflected into the
adopted 2008 AUIR.
What are you trying to say by that sentence?
MR. GREEN: Vanderbilt Beach Road east of951 is not a concurrency segment.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Meaning?
MR. GREEN: There is -- when this project came forward, we had -- we were approaching 60
percent design plans for the BCC adopted alignment. And that is what the right-of-way acquisition is
working on this first segment of the new corridor.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So if they have a 6.8 percent significant impact on the roadway but
they're not in the concurrency management plan, it doesn't mean anything. Is that what it boils down
to?
MR. GREEN: Basically. Their 6.8 percent impact is on the surface volume of only a two-lane
road.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: How bad of an impact will the addition -- would those trips -- well,
those are existing trips.
Any new trips, how would they have to justify them, should they come in with the more uses if
they get this rezoned today?
MR. GREEN: There's a commitment that I have in part of the application from Olde Florida
that basically says that any additional traffic impact statements would be required to analyze any
proposed change in uses, and they'd have to come back in with another TIS with their plat.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Where is that commitment found? What page of what paperwork?
MR. GREEN: I'm not sure that it's in your staff report. It was in the documentation that has
been provided during our review process. If I could put this up on the visualizer.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Please do.
So it's the purple language in the second -- the second set of purple language you've got
highlighted there?

MR. GREEN: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's a commitment, you're saying. Is it a code requirement?
MR. GREEN: Yes. Any time they come in, they're required to provide -- any application is
required to have a TIS accompanying it.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, so if you got a -- if they put a house up in there, they'd have to
have a new TIS for the house?
MR. GREEN: Not for a single-family home.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: How about if they put up I 10 single-family homes?
MR. GREEN: If -- when they come in with the plat, once the plat and TIS that goes with that
is approved, then they can build each of those single-family homes without further transportation
applications.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So the only way you catch them is if they come in with a plat. Are
they required to come in with a plat? This property's owned by a corporation, the corporation wants to
go in and build 110 homes for their 275 people to use on, say, an interim basis. Do they need a plat?
MR. GREEN: I don't know if they need one through our process or not.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: It's an interesting question.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And again, I'm a little puzzled as to what's going on here with this
whole application today. I'm concerned about what was missed apparently. And it wasn't the applicant
that missed it. I think apparently there's some opportunity here that seems to have been missed by that
agreement that was in place that seems to be newly discovered.
But I would like any commitments that you need to make sure you get a TIS and you get the
traffic addressed, that they're stipulated during this rezone process, instead of just relying on platting, if
they chose not to plat.
So I'll ask the applicant before this is over if they have any objection to platting any future uses
that may go in there. And we could require platting as part of the rezone stipulation.
Ms. Caron?
COMMISSIONER CARON: Yeah, let me just ask: While they have to provide a TIS, what
will happen? You just said that they were not part of the concurrency system. So if they're not, it
doesn't matter that they prove that they're going to highly impact the road if we can't do anything with
that information.
MR. GREEN: They're not going to have a negative impact. They have 68 total trips on their
-- net new. I'm sorry, they have 68 net new trips that are utilizing under the existing two-lane version
of Vanderbilt Beach Road.
It's not a concurrency segment. The first concurrency segment is 951. They have a less than
one percent impact on 951. So it's safe to assume that when Vanderbilt Beach Road is extended as a
six-lane road, they will have also less than one percent impact on that road also.
COMMISSIONER CARON: The intersection improvements that you're making at 951 are
intended to solve any issues there. They're not just, this is the best fix we can have, correct?
MR. GREEN: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER CARON: They are actual solutions.
The reason I ask that is going back to when we were doing Growth Management Plan
amendments at Orange Blossom and Airport. Whatever fixes were involved there, commitments were
made to n but they were not solutions, they were just --
MR. GREEN: Unlike Airport n

COMMISSIONER CARON: -- the best we can do.
MR. GREEN: That's correct.
Unlike Airport and Orange Blossom, which the proposal is an interim fix and then an ultimate
solution, Vanderbilt Beach Road and 951 is an ultimate solution that's designed for the traffic assumed
to be utilized at that intersection in 2030.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: If Vanderbilt Beach Road went through this project instead of going
-- crossing the canal, taking out homes and I guess assuming then go back up on the north side of the
canal, I don't know where it goes after that, would going through this project have been a less
expensive process for the public?
MR. GREEN: 1 don't know the answer to that. I know that --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I don't mean by buying out the golf course or destroying the golf
course, I'm just saying had the process ran straight along that canal and not had this effort to go take
out homes, it seems to me it would be a no-brainer, it would be less expensive.
MR. GREEN: It eliminates some of the conflicts to homes in this section. There are still
conflicts, there are still displacements in other areas of this corridor.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: The process we're asking to approve today for this project is going to
open it up for more uses. And they're talking about one of the uses in here was 110 potential
residential uses.
No doubt in a club of this nature or a property of this nature that those uses would be very
valuable. So the project stands to make a potential windfall of millions of dollars through a process of
rezoning when they originally right now are just a golf club. They can't sell anything else, they can
only sell the golf club.
It seems to me that if transportation may have been in a position to consider some use of that
southern tier property, because they're going to have to do a lot of work on that property anyway, and
realigning a golf club when they're going to build homes, especially realign it so it's better amenitized
(sic) for the homes they might build may not be a bad thing overall for the project.
Did anybody from transportation attempt to explore that avenue with the applicant?
MR. GREEN: We did. Actually it was explained to us that the existing golf course was going
to be left untouched and the new homes were going to be isolated to the areas that were undeveloped
that surround that golf course. So there weren't any new roads internal to the project for homes
planned between the existing golf course and the canal.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I didn't look at the layout of the course, but every course is
changeable.
MR. GREEN: I'm not sure, it may be hole number two that runs almost parallel to the canal.
There's a tee box in the fairway.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I see that, but I also see that north of the -- what looks like the tee
boxes for hole number two are some vegetated areas, and it would only be able to swing hole number
two up to the north in order to leave some space to the south in which a road could go through.
Just a thought. I didn't know how far you guys explored it. But I'm trying to understand how
this is a benefit.
MR. GREEN: Through the -- there was I believe three public meetings during the corridor and
alignment study process for Vanderbilt Beach Road. And there were conflict matrices that were put
together that identified habitat impact, environmental impacts, public and private residential impacts,
Attachment #3

socioeconomic impacts. And the board I believe chose the alignment that had the less amount of the __
you know, the fewest amount of impacts to all of that. '
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And I believe the board would have done so based on the information
it had at the time. So I'm not sure that all this information was on the table, but thank you.
Any other questions?
Mr. Schiffer, then Ms. Caron.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And just a quick question. And I'm sure this dye is cast, but at
public hearing, did this landowner ever express the fact that they weren't going to build the second golf
course?
MR. GREEN: During the public meetings for the corridor study?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Yes.
MR. GREEN: I didn't personally have any contact, and I don't know that any information was
provided from this property owner.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And they never expressed the intent to come in at this date
with an agricultural rezone? All right, thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ms. Caron.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Let me just run down -- you did a rundown of a list of
considerations during that study, impacts to habitat, impacts to individual homeowners. Can you just
reiterate that list?
MR. GREEN: It was including but not limited to environmental impacts, habitat, public and
private properties, businesses, residential impacts, impacts to utilities, both public and private, and
. .
SOCIOeconomIC.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Any other questions of transportation while they're up here?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, I am not sure what time it is, but I think it might be 10:10. But
why don't we take a -- Mr. Murray, before we take a break then?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Just help me, what was the socioeconomic issue that you
evaluated?
MR. GREEN: It looks at the land uses and the potential for change in zoning and businesses
and the businesses and residences that may be along that and what impact it may have, if it would
increase or decrease property values and --
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: And what did you conclude?
MR. GREEN: I don't know. I didn't run that study.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, let's take a break till -- well, that silly clock says it's 11: 11, so
that would be 11 :25, but I think it's really 10: 11 and it would be 10:25, so let's come back here at 10:25
from a break. Thank you.
(Recess. )
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, if you'll all come back to your seats. At some point the break
ended. We don't know yet, because from 10:11, it is now 10:49. And we were supposed to have only
taken 15 minutes. That's a result of our electronic technician, Kady, and our architect, Brad Schiffer,
and our engineer, Mr. Schmitt, who's Corps of Army, all trying to fix a digital clock. I'm real worried
about this.
MR. SCHMITT: Electronically challenged.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Oh, boy. Okay, let's move on.
We had just finished up talking with transportation on the issues concerning this action.
Are there any other issues of staff at this time before we ask for public speakers?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, do we have any public speakers, Ray?
MR. BELLOWS: Yes, we have one registered speaker. Peter Gaddy.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MR. GADDY: For the record, Peter Paul Gaddy. Morning, Mr. Chairman; morning, members
of the Planning Commission. I'll be real brief.
I agree with counsel that the issue before us here or before this Planning Commission is the
rezoning of this property. However, the implications of the original ordinance is that the county
commission in 1991 set the alignment for the Vanderbilt Beach extension.
1 think this is one of those situations where more questions have been raised than answers. If
we don't ask some of these questions, we'll never know the answer.
I want to point out that the original ordinance called for a road with arterial specifications.
I would recommend that the county archives be searched and this Planning Commission obtain
additional information prior to acting on the rezoning request. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you, sir.
Are there any other speakers, Ray?
MR. BELLOWS: Yeah, Tim Moore.
MR. MOORE: I was wondering if we could pull that map back up here.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: You have to get to the speaker, first, identify yourself for the record,
and then we can go forward.
MR. MOORE: My name is Tim Moore. I live at 1821 Richards Street. Which is -- if you pull
up the map, I can show you where I am.
Simplest way is for me to walk over. I'm--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I'm sorry, but n yeah, you're that road to the north, we understand.
You have to be on speaker with everything, unfortunately, sir. Sorry.
MR. MOORE: Okay. I'm A at the top of your paper--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MR. MOORE: -- at the end of Richards Road. Okay?
I'm not objecting to the rezoning. What I've asked, and I sent a letter to Jim Coletta, which
was sent to this lady.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Kay.
MR. MOORE: Kay. And also to transportation, was that while you're doing this rezoning,
why don't we ask for an easement to -- original maps show Richards Road going all the way to
Vanderbilt. So if we had an easement all the way through, then some of that transportation that you're
worried about would be alleviated. Number one.
Number two, where I am all the way to Krape floods every year.
Do we have something that we can walk with?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes.
MR. MOORE: I'm going to point n on an average n
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: You've got to turn it on. There you go. One of those buttons.
MR. MOORE: It's on. Can we try another one?

MR. BELLOWS: You want to try a laser thing? Come to this one.
MR. MOORE: Here, let's do this.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thanks, Ray.
MR. MOORE: Okay, at the end of Krape Road, this land right here, during the summer
months usually holds about two and a half, three foot of water, okay? Now, if we're going to put 110
houses in that area, then we're going to have to fill all that in, okay? Then we create another barrier
here, and all this land floods even worse.
My proposal is, and I'm not an engineer, and I don't claim to be, but if we had road ditches all
the way to the canal at Vanderbilt, then we would eliminate all of this catch basin that you all -- I don't
mean you guys. But what has happened is there was a cypress head that ran through here and a
cypress head that ran through there that took the drainage out of this area. We don't have that now.
Everglades has got a berm that goes across here and this is all full, okay? So what are you
going to do with the two and a half, three foot of water here when you put all these houses in? You're
going to have to raise that land up so that it will accommodate, and when you do that, then we're going
to be in a fish bowl.
So I don't have a problem with the rezoning, I have a problem with not making sure that we get
an easement through there with road ditches all the way through to take it to that canal so that we
eliminate all these folks being under water every summer.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate it.
Are there any other speakers, Ray?
MR. BELLOWS: No other speakers.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. John -- oh, go ahead, Mr. Schmitt.
MR. SCHMITT: Yes, you asked a question of Dave, and I have an e-mail and hopefully this
may answer your question.
Maximum density in neutral is one dwelling unit per five acres, both in the FLUE and in the
LDC. So it's Future Land Use Element and Land Development Code.
The exception is for legally nonconforming lots. The exception provision at the end of the
RMFUD and the FLUE wouldn't apply since there is no prior zoning action or other development order
approved that allows greater density. Maximum density using clustering is the same, just allows
smaller lot sizes within total project.
With or without clustering, this 554-acre site is eligible for II 0 dwelling units. Max lot size
using clustering is one acre both in the FLUE and LDC.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, that does answer it. David probably knows better than
anybody, so --
Okay, with that, John, did you have any comments?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Concluding remarks, Mr. Chainnan.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Sure.
MR. PASSIDOMO: We'd be happy to stipulate in the question of traffic impact statement at
the time of a plat or a site development plan to ensure that the county does in fact have a site
development plan in place at the time we know the future development of the property, so that you're
assured you have a new traffic impact statement to reflect conditions as they may exist at that time.
Appreciate the staffs comments for elaboration purposes, of course. The provision on density
applies as an exception for non-conforming lots of record. It's not intended as an exception, it's
intended to in no way detract from the underlining zoning on the property.

For Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
The thought that the best thing to address questions of -- from a historical perspective and
especially the questions that Mr. Moore most recently raised about Richards Street drainage, what may
have happened in 1991 and what may have happened before the Board of County Commissioners and
the testimony in evidence and professional counsel that was in front of them when they made their
determination as the alignment of the road, we'd ask Bill Barton to testify before you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Barton was here in 1991 in a professional capacity, he was here as a member of the Olde
Florida Golf Club, and he has been throughout. He has personal knowledge and he has professional
expertise. And with your indulgence, I'd like to ask him to testify, because I think there are a lot of
good questions that were raised, and Mr. Barton can respond to them.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's fine.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Thank. you, Mr. Chairman.
Bill?
MR. BARTON: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission.
The -- let me start with a couple of things. I made some notes here as discussion was
occurnng.
On one of the first ones, the Chairman asked whether or not the easement that was required to
be granted to South Florida Water Management District was indeed granted. And the answer to that is
yes, it was.
In addition to that, although it has nothing -- no bearing on this, Olde Florida also granted to
Collier County I think four different easements for well sites along that same canal corridor. It was
either three or four, I'm not sure, I don't recall exactly.
The discussion that we've had some elaboration on was the agreement between Olde Florida
and Collier County regarding the extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road. And I -- although it's some
nearly 20 years ago, I do have some fairly good recollection of that.
And that entire agreement was -- became necessary because at the time Olde Florida began its
process of entitlement for the golf course areas, it had not yet acquired the legal right to extend
Vanderbilt Beach down to its western property line. And that of course was a concern of the county,
because obviously you don't want to grant entitlements to a piece of property that cannot be accessed
legally. So that agreement came out of that.
Obviously at that point in time there was no road constructed. And what we're talking about
right now is the property predominantly that runs along the south side of Golf Club of the Everglades,
which is immediately west of Olde Florida.
We consequently did gain a legal access there through an easement, and the road had to be
built to gain access to our property. And Collier County in that agreement required that that road be
built to county standards, which we agreed to do.
So that agreement had absolutely nothing to do with the extension of Vanderbilt Beach
eastward of Olde Florida's west property line.
And I can tell you that I was part of those conversations back in those days, and here we sit
almost 20 years later saying goodness gracious, why didn't those people anticipate that Vanderbilt
Beach Road will be extended to the east?
That question I can't answer, but I can tell you we didn't. That issue was never discussed.
Everybody that was involved in the process at that point in time presumed that the eastern terminus of
Vanderbilt Beach Road was going to be at Olde Florida. None of us contemplated that it would be at
some point in time extended eastward from them.

For Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
As r say, looking back now, one would say gosh, that was not very forward thinking. But how
many of us at that point in time expected Golden Gate Estates to begin to build out like it did? How
many of us at that time expected advents like Ave Maria? So there were a whole lot of things that
occurred afterwards that changed our perspective.
But I reiterate, in 1991 there was absolutely no discussion about Vanderbilt Beach Road being
extended eastward of our west property line.
In today's world, Collier County had some very difficult processes to go through, and now that
we know that road must indeed be extended eastward, what alignment to take. And r assure you, and I
know you know this, that Collier County looked at that very, very carefully.
Olde Florida actually was not the major part of the problem. And the reason I say that is that
although two holes, and it's actually not hole number two, it's actually holes number eight and nine that
would be impacted by that roadway, if it were to go along the north side of the canal.
But Olde Florida, fortunately as we're discussing today, had other properties. So in the long
term, if that decision had been made, Olde Florida could have cured that problem. It would have been
expensive, but they could have cured the problem.
The real problem was really Golf Club of the Everglades next door. That property doesn't
have any excess property. And Vanderbilt Beach Road, coming through the southern portion of Golf
Club of the Everglades, would have taken all of their hole number nine, a significant part of the
required parking, and the entire green for hole number eight. And there was no cure. Because Golf
Club of the Everglades has virtually used all of its land.
So what the COlUlty was looking at is the potential of having to buy the entire golf course, since
there was not a cure to repairing the damage that would be caused. And in today's world, there simply
is no market for a 16-hole golf course. So that's the real expense there was not Olde Florida, it was
Golf Club of the Everglades.
And r will tell you that the county staff determined that keeping the roadway on the north side
of the canal, their estimate was that the cost to the county taxpayers would have been $45 million
greater than putting it on the south side.
We actually contended that number was probably too low. It probably would have been closer
to a $60 million number. And that's basically what drove the issue.
r would also add to that that if the roadway had been kept on the north side of the canal, in all
likelihood they would have also had to take some homes that are existing in the Vanderbilt Country
Club. There's a tier of lots and homes immediately adjacent to what is currently Vanderbilt Beach
Road that likely would have been in jeopardy. So yes, they would have reduced the number of homes
required to be taken on the south side, but then they probably would have had to increase the number
of homes taken on the north side.
With regard to Mr. Moore's discussion of Richards Road, that road is aligned immediately
north of Olde Florida's west property line. And although this hasn't been discussed today, the rezone
that we're asking for continues to keep us as a neutral property in the district. And that will require any
development to preserve 60 percent of the natural vegetation that exists within the property.
We certainly would have no reason not to go on record stating that any easement requirement
along our west property line, we would be sure to be included in that property to be preserved, so that
that easement would always be available if and when at some point in the future Richards Road is
something that the county contemplates building.

I will tell YOI4 though, that with regard to using that as -- to facilitate drainage for those
properties to the north -- and I'll preface this remark by telling you that I am a registered professional
engineer in the State of Florida. And one of my expertises is stormwater management.
And I will tell you, that won't work. The flood waters in the canal reach an elevation that
currently Olde Florida is directly tied to the Cypress Canal. We have a direct out fall. When we
designed it, we anticipated that in the event of a 25-year frequency storm event that Olde Florida
would indeed have flooding occur on their golf course. As it's turned out, we have had three of those
25-year plus events in the last 15 years. And each time it flooded, as we knew it would, as did the
property to the north of us, those floods have cost Olde Florida something in excess of $400,000, the
collective amount. The one that occurred two years ago, we actually had to shut the golf course down
for 30 days because the damage was so severe that -- and we had to resod so much of the property that
the golf course was not playable.
And fact of the matter is, one should be very, very cautious before making connections to
Cypress Canal, for properties to the north of it, because there are rainfall events that could in fact flood
properties to the north that would have not otherwise be flooded if the ditches were not in place.
One might say, how can that occur?
The way that occurs is when the primary rainstorm fall, heaviest rainfall is to the east, which is
in the collection basin of the Cypress Canal. When that then comes down the canal and begins to
cause flood waters in the canal, those elevations will climb to a point in the canal where they would
begin to back up into properties surrounding that canal. Not unlike precisely what we're seeing in
North Dakota right now. The Red River that's been threatening Fargo is not because of rainfall that fell
on Fargo, it's because of the rainfall that fell upstream from Fargo and is now causing flood events to
occur in Fargo.
So one needs to be very cautious in starting to make connections, like roadside swales, to
properties to the north, because they could cause more problems than they might solve.
So those are just some historical events that r wanted to share with you. And if there are any
questions, I'd be more than happy to try to answer them.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody have any questions?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: r do.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ms. Caron, then Mr. Schiffer.
COMMISSIONER CARON: If flooding is such an issue out there right now, Mr. Barton, and
you've had at least three events here that all surpassed the 25-year storm event, does it make sense then
to be rezoning this property so you can put 110 homes with septic systems out there?
MR. BARTON: Well, let me answer that question in two parts: First, the issue of how 110
dwelling units might fit on the property or how they would be designed is a question for another day.
And most certainly that process would have to be reviewed under whatever criteria and guidelines we
have.
What we're asking for here today in the rezone is simply taking a piece of property that
currently has virtually zero value, because golf course property in today's world, not only can you not
sell it, I'm not sure you could give it away, if the only use for it was golf course.
We're trying to simply take an asset that has no value and cause it to be an asset that does have
some value.
With regard to whether or not septic tanks would be an appropriate use in that location, I don't
know the answer to that. However, my -- pardon me, Florida allergies -- my anticipation is that by the

time the single-family housing market turns around in Collier County to the point that this property
would become attractive, the availability of central sanitary sewer is going to be there. It's already to
the corner of 951 and Vanderbilt Beach Road. In fact, the new church that was just built there is on
central sewer. So we're not that far away.
And my expectation is that at that point in time Collier County would require any developer to
make that connection, and highly doubtful in my mind that any septic tanks would ever be used on this
property.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: On the interchange map, there's a road called Douglas Road.
Is that Richards Road? Do they line up together?
MR. BARTON: No, sir, I don't think so. I think Richards -- now, Richards does not come
down to this property. In fact, there's another out-parcel, it's either 20 acres or 40 acres, north of OJde
Florida that currently does not have Richards Road on it. In other words, it comes down and
terminates at some parcel north of our property.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Would it help, I think the Richards Road aligns -- see the red line on
the west side of the Olde Florida Golf Club on this map? That's where Richards Road will align with.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Right. And where is -- then looking at this map showing the
canal on Vanderbilt Road coming down and then coming back up, they show a road called Douglas
Road.
So the reason I bring it up, wouldn't that be a logical place for that intersection, such that if
they ever did connect that would be a good north-south corridor between Vanderbilt and Immokalee?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: You mean you would take Richards Road -- how would you get there
from the -- the terminus of Richards from the south over to Douglas in the north, how would you get
there?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Well, the same way we wish -- they were thinking about, you
know, back when this originally -- you know, we had the east-west access that we didn't take. This
would just be at this point in time trying to establish the north-south.
But where is Douglas Road is really the question.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It's right -- look on your left. On the left side of the screen down
towards the bottom.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Well, then --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: See Richards up on top?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So this map we're showing is that this thing is going to
transfer -- okay, this is going to transfer well before this property then.
MR. BARTON: Yeah, Douglas Road is actually on the west property line of Golf Club of the
Everglades. So it's a half mile west of Olde Florida's property.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: So if Douglas Road ever did -- or Richards Road ever did
come down, it would come down onto your access drive?
MR. BARTON: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And would they have the ability to access that?
MR. BARTON: Yes, they would. The easement there is a public easement. However, there
would not be the ability at that intersection to access Vanderbilt Beach Road.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: They would have to come down to this Douglas Road then.

MR. BARTON: That's correct. Then they'd have to turn westward and go to Douglas Road in
order to access Vanderbilt Beach Road.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: All right, thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you, sir, appreciate your time.
MR. BARTON: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, John, I think we have a few issues that were discussed I'd like
to run by with you before we go into deliberations.
You have no problem with the stipulation concerning the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary
Program, that you'll retain that at all times for the golf course subject -- and that the property would be
subject to the rules of the neutral lands for golf courses.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: There's no density being provided as a result of this process today,
whatever the outcome is. And you agree with that?
MR. PASSIDOMO: There's no density being provided?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right. We're not giving you density today. We're not providing
density. This is strictly you're requesting a rezone to neutral.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Whatever we're entitled to in the proposed zoning district.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's where I'm going next. This whole thing has been somewhat of
a mystery. You've got a golf course zoned piece of property, it can function as a golf course. You've
got a clubhouse; you've got all the amenities that the golf course has. You want to go to neutral lands
and still retain the golf course use, obviously. But at some time in the future you're going to do
something else.
The difference between '91 and now are some of the benefits that you can derive under neutral
lands that maybe you couldn't have done under the agricultural zoning as it was in 1991. So the golf
course has been kind of like a holding pattern until this change has been suggested here today.
It leaves a lot of unknowns in regards to what you're going to do with the property and how the
density of that property and how the impacts on that property will affect others. Where you put your
houses, how many, the road coming in, how you'll connect to Vanderbilt, all the issues that the county
generally is worried about.
You have by rights in the neutral area an extensive amount of new uses, including
single-family residential, mobile home overlays, dormitories, duplexes, group housing, family care
facilities, group care facilities, staff housing, sporting and recreational camps, golf courses and driving
ranges. It goes on and on for quite a few uses. And that's -- they're all by right.
So I don't -- by right you wouldn't necessarily have to come before a public process. And
when Mr. Barton spoke he, you know, said you guys would go by whatever process is in place for -- as
you proceeded. Well, there is no process in place except going through staff.
Would you have any objection that any changes to your property in regards to uses come back
before this Planning Commission for review?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: After the zoning is in place, sir?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: If you receive the zoning today to go from golf course to neutral, any
further increases in changes or density on that property, whether it be through any type of use come
back through the public process through the Planning Commission.

MR. PASSIDOMO: Any changes, Mr. Chairman, that increased the density or changed the
use, other than what is prescribed in the Land Development Code right now?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: No, other than what is being done today on that property. So if you
take advantage of the new uses and the neutral land that you seemingly want to, and since you're not
providing us with that scenario today, I'm suggesting that you come back through this process and
provide that now -- provide that then at the time you do it. If you want to come back in and put homes
and parcels and break it up and subdivide it into parcels, you come back in for the public process in
front of this board.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, we do have to come back obviously administratively to
address site development plans or platting. But you're suggesting that rather than have that handled
administratively, it be handled by the Planning Commission?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, the staff would still have to review it, but the Planning
Commission would have to see it, and you'd have to go through a public process for approval.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, would it have anything to do with the -- if the question, if
the scope of that review relates to platting or site development plan issues, that's one question. If the
scope of that review deals with uses, heights, densities and intensities, I think that's another question.
Because those are prescribed by the Land Development Code, and they seem to be outside the proper
scope of review for the Planning Commission or for the Board of County Commissioners after the
zoning is in place.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right. You just said the magic words, after the zoning's in place. Is
in place. So in order to get it in place -- Mr. Schmitt?
MR. SCHMITT: Yeah. For clarification, if any plat comes in, a final plat, as you well know,
has to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. That's on an agenda item and it's approved
by the Board of County Commissioners, so it is a public process. Normally it's on a consent agenda.
However, in this case if it involves a consent issue or involves an issue that is of interest to the public,
certainly we can be directed or the board can pull that item and put it on the regular agenda. Or they
can certainly remand that back to the Planning Commission.
So I just want to clarity the process so the public understands: It is a public process and it is
approved before the Board of COlmty Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And there are -- they are done routinely every week; is that right?
MR. SCHMITT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: How many have ever been pulled, changed, modified, sent back to
this Planning Commission?
MR. SCHMITT: None sent back to the Planning Commission. Probably in my time frame
here, which is almost seven years, I believe twice we pulled plats onto the regular agenda.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, the problem I have here is I don't think anybody would go into
the process that this applicant's here for today without having some idea what they might want to do in
the future. We're not being provided with any of that information. We're basically saying we're going
to do whatever our rights are allowed for us to do.
The rights that come under the standard zoning, if you were to allow -- and zoning is by the
way not -- you can't get a rezone, I don't believe, by right. You get a rezone by process. And if there's
reasons why this board feels the process isn't appropriate, it may not succeed.
But it would help I think a lot of us to get in if we knew that we had some additional review
opportunity down the road when you finally wanted to tell us what you intend to do with this property.

And that's my concern with that issue, and that's why I requested of you, do you have any
objection if we were to stipulate that any changes to the uses on this property -- and whether those
changes are density, intensity, height or whatever, but use changes on this property beyond the golf
course uses come back to this panel for review.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, I want to be cooperative. I don't want to be elusive, I
don't want to be responsive.
If the question is rather than through an administrative process we go back to the Planning
Commission for site development plan or platting review, that's one question. If that's the question, I'd
be happy to consult with my client concerning that issue. Is that --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, if you did -- any change you make on this property -- and staffs
going to have to help me here. Is there any way they can make a change without coming in for a plat
or a site -- or a site development plan?
MR. BELLOWS: If you mean can they build a single-family home in there without--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Can they build 110 single-family homes in there?
MR. BELLOWS: You have to go through the platting process to do more than --
MR. SCHMITT: You would have to plat to develop a tract, and then you'd have to come in
and probably subdivide that, if he's going to build individual homes, single-family homes on one home
per five acres or demonstrate that he's in compliance with the code. If he's going to build some kind of
multi-family, of course the tract would then come in with a subsequent site development plan, again,
demonstrating that he meets the requirements as defined in the rural fringe mixed use development
overlay, RMFU, and he would be subject to those review criteria that exist in the LDC.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: See, Joe, if they had come in today with a request to go from golf
course to PUD with a site plan laying out the intensities, densities, setbacks, heights, everything else
that would affect the surrounding properties, it would have been more complete for us to review.
MR. SCHMITT: And I understand that. Certainly understand.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Basically they want to go into an opportunity to make a lot of
changes that may not have been anticipated at the time this was even given its neutral land designation,
well enough its conditional -- its whatever, golf course designation back in '91.
That all happened years ago. So there's some kind of vesting issue or grandfathering issue
already in place.
I'm suggesting -- well, first of all, how did this become neutral? Do we even know that?
Would it have become a neutral land had they not had the golf course zoning already in place for this
property?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Did you want to talk to him?
MR. SCHMITT: Well, the neutral lands are designated as part of the study that -- and all the
background and the data and analysis as was performed as part of the rural lands process, in this case
the rural fringe mixed use district. And that was determined based on existing conditions on the land
at that time when it went through the public hearings.
Any more than that, you probably have to bring that catcher in, and David and some others to
give you some history as to why or how they designated this neutral. But the -- and understanding
also, before they go through the platting process, they're going to have to go through the permitting
process, meaning through District permitting, South Florida Water Management District, demonstrate
water -- all the other districts permitting processes associated with that.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I just -- I'm trying to make sure that what happens here in the future
we have a better handle on than we have had in the past. And that's why I've asked the applicant if
they would accept a public process through the Planning Commission for approval or denial of any
uses or changes regarding this property beyond those involving the golf course or the amenities to the
golf course.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, I think it may confuse the purpose of these proceedings.
These proceedings are to establish zoning on the land.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Klatzkow?
MR. KLATZKOW: You know, when you go through a criteria, Mr. Chairman, there are
certain things you have to look at, including does the proposed change adversely influence living
conditions. You have no idea what -- the information in front of you to make a decision.
You've got another one, will the proposed change create a drainage problem. And we've had
some testimony on that, and you have no idea.
And there are a number of other criteria here that it's very difficult, given the lack of
information you have as to what they intend to do with this. But you can make an educated
recommendation to the Board ofC01mty Commissioners.
This is a very unusual request. I don't think I've ever seen a zoning request where they're
going from existing golf course use to down-zone, or up-zone, depending on how you look at it, to an
agricultural zoning with 110 acres.
I don't have an issue if you just make this a condition. And if they don't like it, they can take it
with the Board of County Commissioners when -- that (sic) the board wants to keep that as a condition.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Wolfley?
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: I don't know whether I should wait until the discussion, but I
might just as well say it now. When I was reviewing this, I thought the whole thing was brilliant.
What a move. And being on the RLSA committee for a year and a half and then again reviewing it
here, if this should become neutral land, they do have the right to just automatically build the homes as
they want to, 110. And that's the way I read through this whole thing. That's the way it looked and
that's the way it smelled.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, I think Mr. Wolfley's really hit the
nail right on the head. This is really a process. It's intended to provide some flexibility so we can
respond to market conditions, but it's simply intended to align the zoning of the land with the permitted
uses as of right under the future land use designation for rural fringe neutral lands. That's all it does.
There's no triggering event here that creates anything that the change in the designation to this
land as rural fringe neutral lands didn't anticipate.
We know what we're going to do. We'll come back to staff, we'll come back if you'd like to
the Planning Commission and we'll come back to the Board of County Commissioners. But at that
point in time the only thing we're going to come back with is what we don't have now and that is a site
plan or a plat. But at that point in time -- and we'll have to go through permitting. And you don't
customarily look at that. But you can look at that. And I think that the process will be well served by
the Planning Commission looking at that.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I agree with the County Attorney's recommendation. His
counsel is that we can make it a condition, and so I think that's a good move.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, thank you.

And the next question I have for you, John, is the easement along the west property line. Mr.
Barton didn't think that would be a problem, that you would provide through that west property line an
easement. I mean, up to the county to make sure they can get the easement materialized, assumingly.
But that for the -- along the west property line for the Richards Street extension down to Vanderbiit
Beach -- down to your public access to Vanderbiit Beach Road.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: I think Mr. Barton's going to want to respond to that.
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: Because that's not what he said.
MR. P ASSIDOMO: It's not designated in the future land use transportation plan. If the
county wants to buy it, they can buy it. There's a 60 percent native vegetation requirement. We don't
want to do anything to impugn that. But with those introductory remarks, let me just let Mr. Barton
respond to --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Maybe I misheard him then. I thought that's -- I thought you said
something to that effect.
MR. BARTON: Let me touch on two points.
Interestingly, the reason we are here today is that when we initially zoned this property to golf
course, the mixed use development district did not exist. That came after us. Next door, in Golf Club
of the Everglades, which developed shortly after we did, but after the District was in place. By seeing
the District, they did not rezone their property to golf course; they left it agricultural and simply got a
conditional use to put a golf course on it.
Had we done this golf course in 1995 instead of 1991, we wouldn't be here today, because we
would not have rezoned the property to golf course. We would have left it agriculture, asked for a
provisional use, conditional use for golf course, just as Golf Course (sic) of the Everglades did.
So really all we're trying to do is get ourselves in about the same position as Golf Club of the
Everglades is today. Because they didn't have to have the advantage of knowing the District was going
to be formed after they went through the rezoning process.
That's one thing I wanted to point out to you.
The other is what I said on the road easement for Richards Road is that we would simply agree
not to build anything within that corridor, that that would become part of the 60 percent natural
vegetation area. So that in the future, if that road -- it makes little sense to me to impose an easement in
a location that the county has no plan to build a road, it's not in one single part of the county's plans
right now.
By the same token, I understand the advantage of leaving the corridor there. We're willing to
do that. We're willing not -- to stipulate that that would be part of the -- the other concern I have is that
if we grant the easement, all of a sudden there's roughly four acres of land taken out of our property.
Now the 60 percent preservation requirement even takes more of the land than it would otherwise.
So what I'd like to do is assure you that we won't put anything in that corridor, and then if at
some point in the future an easement is needed there, it can be dealt with.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you for the clarification.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Mark?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes, sir, Mr. Schiffer?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: And I think we should do that. I mean, they've discussed
how when they were building their property they had to negotiate with the people to the west and then
never imagined that the owner to the east would ever want to do that with them. So I don't think that
showed the forethought necessary.

So I think if we do that, let's do that in such a way that it is the width of a good collector road,
or whatever maximum road we think, plus some sizeable setbacks so that we don't find them
developing in that area again.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I agree. And I think something that's changed between 1991 and if
you had done this as a conditional use to agriculture in 1995, in '95 if you had done it we may have
been further along in some of our master planning of roads in the county, and the extension of
Vanderbilt Beach Road would have been left alone on this property.
The fact you're coming in today is like a second bite at the apple. Although the Vanderbilt
Beach Road extension may be too far down the road to bring into this rezoning issue here today, it's
still -- I don't put a lot of argument in the fact that it would have been the same if you had done it in
'95. I think in '95 we were getting out of some problems we had politically. We might have been a
little more sophisticated to a point where we realized that road extension was needed and we might
have requested that road alignment or that area be left alone on the south side of this property and save
that alignment to go straight across.
So I'm not -- I don't still believe we need to make a second mistake in 2009 by letting this go to
a free-for-all from golf course to just open neutral and anything goes. I can't -- that I can't go to.
So my intention is to make sure that this is -- any uses or changes to this property, other than
those involving strictly the golf course and its facilities, would have to come back to the public process
to be approved.
Mr. Schmitt?
MR. SCHMITT: Can I ask for clarification? And from a stand -- we have no process to do
that. And I just want to discuss to make sure we understand how to proceed with that, if in fact the
board concurs with your recommendation. We have no fees for that, and we would have to -- we could
identifY what that would cost. It would be similar to undergo this process.
Do you want to have the required public notice in regards to advertisement, neighborhood
information meeting, those --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, Joe, I would treat it just -- we can't call it a PUD, but I would
treat it like a PUD, because that's honestly what this property should be coming in here for today is a
PUD.
MR. SCHMITT: I just want to make sure we understand so that we proceed and we notice,
advertise and do all the other required processes prior to bringing it here so we have clear
understanding what your intent is.
So I understand what you're saying, it would be treated almost like a rezone again but coming
in to review the plat. And I understand.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, so it would be in the form of a PUD process I believe is what's
being suggested. And I'm not sure that's what everybody's suggesting, but that's what __
MR. SCHMITT: Okay, I just want to make sure so we understand and we can note that.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Wolfley?
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: Are you referring to every home at a time?
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: No.
COMMISSIONER CARON: No.
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: I mean, because they could build these over 10, 15 years by
right.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: They'd still have to put in infrastructure.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: You know what? There's a lot to be said for coming in with a master
plan well planned out with densities, heights, restrictions and setbacks. If they want to come in 110
times for a PUD process, then let them come in. I think the county would benefit from it because it
gets more staff hired because we have plenty of funds then.
But anyway, that's kind of what my thought is.
Anybody else have any comments during this discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay--
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: -- do you have anything, John, you want to add?
MR. PASSIDOMO: If! can just close.
If! can propose that on three stipulations, and for your considerations, Mr. Chairman.
The first is, as we indicated earlier, we will come in with a new traffic impact statement at the
time of the SDP or plat, whatever it may happen to be.
Following up on Mr. Barton's comments, we'll provide a setback along that western property
so that you know that there's sufficient land there to accommodate a public right-of-way if the county
wants to have a public right-of-way in that area.
And then finally, our proposal for your consideration, Commissioners, is that in order to give
some direction to the Planning Commission at a future time, to your staff and ultimately to the Board
of County Commissioners, when we come back in for a site development plan or a site plan, or before
we build the first house on the property, we have to come back before the Planning Commission and
the Board of County Commissioners to have that site plan and that -- and/or that plat approved __
recommended for approval and approved ultimately by the Board of County Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I want to make sure that gets us the coverage that we're looking for.
You said ifthe plat or the SDP.
Ray, is there anything they can do without a plat or an SDP on this property?
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: Yes.
MR. BELLOWS: Other than a single-family home one at a time. They don't have to come in
for a plat. But once you do three or more units, you have to plat.
MR. PASSIDOMO: Mr. Chairman, I'll stipulate that we won't come in for one home without
coming through the platting or SDP process. Before we build the first home on the property, we'll
come in with an SDP or a plat, and the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning Corrunission
will have the ability to see that.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Mr. Schmitt, in reference to the process that would be utilized
to make this come through, we would implement the PUD process in regards to advertising fees for
whatever else was in place for the review process to come before the boards, and then through the
board analysis we could adjust setbacks, heights or anything else that would seem inappropriate. Is that
clear?
MR. SCHMITT: Yes. And from here it would go to the board, but it would go to the board.
Most likely it will also include the final approval process, similar to any plat approval, which certainly
you're familiar with.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right.

MR. SCHMITT: It would be part of that final approval plat process with a report from the
Planning Commission noting what we'd done. So it would be a combination between -- almost like a
rezoning and a fmal plat approval when it goes to the board.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, and if it went to the board under this new process and it had a
dissenting vote from the Planning Commission, it would not be on summary agenda then; would it
not?
MR. SCHMITT: Certainly not.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Because all your plats are generally on summary agenda.
MR. SCHMITT: Right. They would not.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And it would be an exception in this case.
MR. SCHMITT: Right. We'd put it on the regular agenda, absolutely.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, I think it fairly checks out, subject to staffs figuring it
out when they come back with a consent agenda.
Does anybody else have any comments, questions?
Ms. Caron?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I just want to be--
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ms. Caron first, then Mr. Murray.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Oh, I'm sorry.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Was it also your testimony, Mr. Passidomo, that the golf course
would not move?
MR. PASSIDOMO: There's certainly no contemplation that it will ever move. Did I make a
comment as a stipulation that the golf course will never move?
COMMISSIONER CARON: Yeah.
MR. PASSIDOMO: No.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Okay.
MR. PASSIDOMO: And frankly, I don't even know really what that could mean or why the
public would have an interest in that.
COMMISSIONER CARON: No, it was just a statement that had been made and so I wanted
to make sure it shouldn't be.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: John, just in clarification, I'm sure you meant this, but when
you said we'll provide an easement of sufficient space to make a road there, Richard Road, Richard
Street, or whatever it is, right, that's what you said?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: No, sir. Thank you for asking for clarification, Mr. Murray.
What I suggested is that we'll have a setback in that area. The assurance is given that there
won't be any structures there. So if the county wants to come in at some later time and actually acquire
that property and create a road there, there won't be an impediment to their ability to do so in the form
of a setback.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay. And I appreciate that. What I thought I heard, though,
Mr. Barton saying he was concerned that he would, by taking what is legitimately I think a standard for
a road, you're going to reduce it 60 percent, et cetera, et cetera. But that's okay, you're good with that?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: If it's a setback then we're not reducing the native vegetation requirement.
I think that's the sensitivity we have.
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: Okay.

CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody else want to comment at this time?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: John, are you finished?
MR. P ASSIDOMO: Yes, sir, I am. Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you. And u
COMMISSIONER CARON: Don't close it.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Oh, I'm not doing it yet. That's why I was asking.
Ms. Caron?
COMMISSIONER CARON: Yeah, I just wanted to ask transportation one last question here.
MR. GREEN: Michael Green, Transportation Plannillg.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Looking in your crystal ball, do you see, can you anticipate the
need for this north-south Richards Street to become a corridor, an actual road?
MR. GREEN: You're digging a trap for me.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Yes, I am.
MR. GREEN: We always try and get interconnections and create a grid. Yes, that would be a
benefit.
I don't have any tools available to me today in place to provide me the nexus to ask for this
under this project.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: But if you had a stipulation that provided you the ability for that
easement and you wanted to use it in the future, that would be more advantageous than not.
MR. GREEN: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Go ahead, Mr. Schiffer.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Well, I was going to say, the best thing we can do is keep
them from building a golf hole where we need it, as the past has given us.
MR. GREEN: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER CARON: Or a house.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, anybody else?
Anything before I close the public hearing?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, with that, we'll close the public hearing and we'll entertain a
motion. But let's have discussion first.
There's a lot of things that this project entails, and one of them is the extension of Vanderbilt
Beach Road.
As much as I hate what we've done with that extension, I don't believe we can find that as a
reason to deny this project. However, I think it's good that we had the discussion today and some more
information got on the table concerning that.
So that set aside, I also, as this whole board has expressed, this has not been a real clear
understanding of what they're trying to do here. The information we got is limited and doesn't provide
a lot of clarity. So based on that, I suggest that we consider the following stipulations: one is that the
golf course always will retain the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. And once it's rezoned
into the neutral land categories, it will come under the rules within the neutral lands for the golf course
operatIOns.
Number two: There will be no density awarded as a result of today's process. Meaning they
may go into the neutral land category, but they don't have any other uses allocated them through

today's process, nor are they entitled to them until they come back through the third stipulation, which
is: That any uses or changes come back to the Planning Commission and the BCC under this process
similar to that of the PUD process for review and approval for all categories that we would look at as
though it were a PUD.
And number four: That the applicant will not build within the Richards Road corridor or allow
-- and allow the county to acquire an easement if needed therefore in the future.
And those are the four stipulations I think that we talked out here today.
Does anybody have anything that they would like to consider adding to it, elaborate on?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, is staff clear on the stipulations?
MS. DESELEM: For the record, Kay Deselem.
I need to know how big of an area you don't want them to build in. The talk was a setback,
what --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It says the Richards Road corridor. Whatever corridor width
transportation can provide you with between now and the time we get consent. Unless they know now.
MS. DESELEM: I heard John Podczerwinsky say the term 60 feet.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That sounds logical, because that's I think the minimum standard for
the county anyway. So let's leave 60 feet as a minimum corridor.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Well, Mark?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: Plus I would like a setback for a building. So why don't we
just say 100 feet and make it easy, that they can't build within 100 feet of that property line. That
would give them the full right-of-way. It may be set up where they can only have half the
right-of-way.
And at the time of the review of the public hearing we'd be able to make a smarter decision.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, I have no problem with that.
MS. DESELEM: So you --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: They can't build within 100 feet of the western property line. And the
intent of that stipulation is for the future provision to Collier County to acquire that as an easement.
MS. DESELEM: Okay.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Are there any other clarifications you need, Kay?
MS. DESELEM: I think I've got it, thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody else?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, is there a motion from the Planning Commission?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I'll make the motion.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Murray?
COMMISSIONER MURRAY: I would make the motion that the Planning Commission
forward Petition RZ-2008-AR-1395 I , known as Olde Florida Golf Club, Incorporated, with a
recommendation of approval, based on the stipulations as offered by the Chair.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER WOLFLEY: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Seconded by Mr. Wolfley.
Any further discussion?

PURPOSEIDESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
As described in the nalTative statement included in the application, the petitioner proposes to
rezone the subject site to Agriculture to allow "for a broader range of uses" and to provide a
"greater flexibility for the land owner by allowing agriculture, golf course, single-family dwelling
units and other uses by right, in accuruanct: with lht: FLUE [Futurt: Land Use Element of the
Growth Management Plan] and the Land Development Code." Given the GMP FLUE
designation, up to 110 dwelling units could be developed on site. The petitioner's agent states in
the Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) that, "The proposed rezone intends to preserve the existing 18-
hole golf course and pelmit the addition of up to 110 single tinnily homes."
The subject property was rezoned from the Rural Agricultural Zoning District to the Golf Course
(GC) Zoning District with the approval of Ordinance Number 91-16 on February 12, 1991
(Petition Number R-90-23). As palt of that rezoning action, an agreement was entered into by the
petitioner wherein certain improvements would be required as part of site development approval.
Most of the improvements or conditions are reiterations of site development plan requirements.
Subsequent to that rezoning approval, the site was developed with an eighteen-hole golf course
and its supporting facilities.
It should be noted that the proposed rezone back to the Rural Agricultural Zoning District utilized
the "conventional or standard" rezoning procedure that does not require a master plan to be
submitted as would be required if the property was rezoned to a PUD. However, the boundary
survey provided with the petition indicates there is a large conservation easement over lands in the
northeastem portion of the site. Site development issues will be addressed as palt of allY future
development approvals that may be sought should the rezone be approved. Similarly, deviations
from the Land Development Code (LDC) cannot be sought as part of this rezone petition; any
subsequent development would need to be in compliance with all federal, state and local
development regulations unless variances are sought and approved through the appropriate
procedure in effect at the time.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN jGMP) CONSISTENCY:
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The Old Florida Golf Club property lies within the
Agricultural/Rural Designation, Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (IU"MUD), Neutral Lands, as
depicted on Collier County's Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Golf courses and single-family
residential units are allowed by right in the Neutral Lands designated areas.
The IS-hole golf course, its clubhouse and maintenance facilities occupy the developed portions of
the subject property. An existing conservation area comprising approximately 51 acres will
remain unchanged. The County's Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program provisions
were not applicable at the time of Olde Florida original approval. TDR program provisions apply
only to extent that they prohibit the transfer of development rights into or out of Neutral Lands.
The Olde Florida development will utilize only thc base density entitlements generated by
developing property located in Neutral Lands.

Revised 3/17109
Page 3 of 14
The Collier County Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and Land Development Code (LDC)
contain specific requirements applicable to new development within Neutral Lands. Certain
requirements peliain to residential development. These items are discussed below. In the
following review, FLUE and other GMP provisions are shown in italics, while staff analysis and
commentary is provided in normal type.
Neutral Land~: Neutral Land~ have been identified for limited semi-rural residential
development. Available data indicates that Neutral Lands' have a higher ratio ofnalive vegetation,
and thus higher habitat values, than lands designated as Receiving Lands, but these values do not
approach those of Sending Lands. Ther~fore, these land~ are appropriate for limited
development, if such development is directed away ji-om existing native vegetation and habitat. A
lower maximum gross density is prescribedfor Neutral Lands when compared to Receiving Lands.
Additionally, certain other uses permitted within Receiving Lands are not authorized in Neutral
Lands. Within Neutral Lands, the following standard~ shall apply:
1. Maximum Density: 1 dwelling unit per 5 gross acres (0.2 units per acre).
Maximum density: There are 553.6 acres in the Olde Florida property, which would allow a
maximum density of 110 dwelling units.
2. Clustering: Clustering of residential development is allowed and encouraged. Where
clustered development is employed, it shall be in accordance with the following provisions:
a) {fwithin the boundaries of the Rural Transition Water and Sewer District, and consistent
with the provisions of the Potable Water and Sanitmy Sewer Sub-elements of this Plan,
central water and sewer shall be extended to the project. Where County sewer or water
services may not be available concurrent with development in Neuh'al Lands, interim private
water and sewer facilities may be approved
b) 1he maximum lot size is one acre.
c) The clustered development shall be located on the site so as to provide to the greatest
degree practicable: protection for listed species habitat; preservation of the highest quality
native vegetation; connectivity to adjacent natural reservations or preservation areas on
adjacent developments; an(1, creation, maintenance or enhancement of wildlife corridors.
d) The minimum project size shall be at least 40 acres.
The amount of detailed development information necessary to address provisions (a) through (c)
above is absent as this is a standard rezone petition. The specifics of these provisions may be
addressed fully at the time a subdivision plat is submitted for review. Olde Florida is a 553.6 acre

Golf courses or driving ranges are subject to the follOWing standards:
(1) Go(l courses shall be designed, constructed, and managed in accordance with the best
management practices of Audubon International's Gold Signature Program and the Florida
Department ol Environmenta1 Protection.
(2) In order to prevent the contamination olsoi1, swface water and ground water by tl",
materia1s stored and handled by go!l course maintenance operations, gotf courses shall
comp1y with the Best Managemenf Practices for Golf Course A1aintenance Departments,
prepared by the Florida Department of Envirol1lnenfa1 Protection, May 1995.
(3) To protect ground and swfi/ce water quality fimn ferti1izer and pesticide usage, goll
courses shall demonstrate thefollowing management practices:
(a) The use of s10w re1ease nitrogen sources;
(b) The use of soil and plant tissue ana1ysis to adjust timing and amounf o/lertilization
app1ications;
(c) The use of an integrated pest management program using both biological and
chemical agents to control various pests;
(d) The coordination of pesticide applications with the timing and application of
irrigation water;
(e) The use of the procedure contained in lFAS Circular 1011, Managing Pesticides for
Go!lCourse Maintenance and Water Qua1ity Protection, May 1991 (revised 1995) to
se1ect pesticides that wi11 have a minimum adverse impact on water quality.
(4) To ensure water conservation, golf courses shall inco/fJOrate the fo11owing in their
design and operation:
(a) Irrigation systems shel1l be designed to use weather station information and
moisture-sensing systems to determine the optimum amount of irrigation water needed
considering soilmoislure and evapotranspiration rates.
(b) As availab1e, golf courses shall utilize treated eff/uent reuse water consistent with
Sanitwy Sewer Sub-E1ement Objective 1.4 and its policies;
(c) Native p1ants shall be used exclusive1y except for special pwpose areas such as
golf greens, fairways, and bui1ding sites. Within these_excepted areas, landscaping
plans sha11 require that at least 75 percent of the trees and 50 percent of the shrubs be
ji-eeze-tolerant native Floridian species. At least 75 percent of the required native trees
and shrubs shall a1so be drought t01erant species.
(5) Stormwater management ponds shall be designed to mimic the functions of natural
systems: by establishing shore1ines that are sinuous in configuration in order to provide
increased length and diversity of the 1illoral zone. A Littoral sheil shall be established to
provide a feeding area for water dependent avian .\pecies. The combined length of vertical
and rip-rapped walls shall be limited to 25 percent of the shore1ine. Credits to the site

preservation area requirements, on an acre-to-acre basis, shall be given for iiI/oral shelves
that exceed these iiI/oral shelf area requirements.
(6) Site preservation and native vegetation retention requirements shall be the same as
those set forth in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District criteria. Site preservation areas are
intended to provide habitatfunctions and shall meet minimum dimensions as set forth in the
Land Development Code. These standard~ shall be established within one year.
Based on FLUE provisions for golf courses in the RFMUD, requirements specii)' they shall be
designed, constructed and managed in accordance with Audubon's Signature pl"Ogram.
The Olde Florida Golf Course however, was designed and constructed betore the RFMUD was
created and before Audubon Signature program certification was required. Audubon's Signature
program is available only to newly proposed projects, including golf courses in the design or
development stages. Audubon's Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) is the altemative
program available to existing golf courses like aide Florida.
Both the Signature and the Sanctuary programs are characterized as education and certification
programs, and the two embrace significantly similar land management and natural resollrce
conservation practices. Both include comprehensive management programs. Primary differences
between the two programs involve not the land management or conservation practices themselves,
but whether verification of ongoing program participation and compliance are conducted with on-
site Audubon-certified visits or by submitting documentation to Audubon International - and the
associated costs for doing so.
4. Native vegetation and preservation requirements: Native vegetation shall be preserved as
setforth in CCME Policy 6.1.2.
The petitioner has indicated that the existing 51-acre conservation area will be incorporated into
the required preservation area. Strict compliance with CCME Goals, Objectives and Policies will
be deternlined as pmt of any subsequent development order reviews.
5. Density Blending shall be permitted subject to the provisions set forth in the Density
Rating System.
No density blending is proposed for the subject propelty.
In reviewing for compliance with FLUE Objective 7 and subsequent Policies regarding Smmt
Growth principles derived from the Toward Better Places, Community Character Plan for Collier
County, staff provides the following analysis.
Policy 7. 1 The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their
properties to ji-onting collector and arterial roads, except where no sllch connection can be made
without violating intersection ;,pacing requirements of the Land Development Code.
The project has direct access to Vanderbilt Beach Road extension, a collector road.

Policy 7.4 The COl/nly shall encol/rage new developments 10 provide walkable comll1unilies with
a blend of densilies, common open .\paces, civic facilities and a range ()f housing prices and types.
The amount of detailed development information necessaty to address these Policies is absent as
this is a standard rezone petition. The specifics of these Policies shall be addressed fully at the
time of SDP or a subdivision plat is submitted for review. Based on the above analysis, staff
concludes that the rezone may be deemed consistent with the FLUE.
Transportation Element: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petitioner's Traffic
Impact Statement (TIS) and has determined that the roadway network has sufficient capacity to
accommodate this II O-unit project within the 5-year planning period.
Vanderbilt Beach Road Impacts: The first concurrency link that is impacted by tlus project is Link
113, Vanderbilt Beach Road East of CR-95 I. Thc project generates 52 PM peak hour, peak
direction trips on this link, which represcnts a 6.8 percent (significant) impact on this roadway.
This segment of Vanderbilt Beach Road is cunently in the right-of-way acquisition process to
accommodate a planned expansion beginning outside the five year capital improvement plan. The
remaining capacity and Level of Service are not currently reflected in the adopted 2008 AUIR.
Please note that portions of the project's access along Vanderbilt Beach Road are held in private
ownership and arc granted via casements as shown on the Acccss Management Plan included in
the application. No subsequent links of Vanderbilt Beach Road are significantly impacted.
County Road 951 Impacts: No subsequent links of County Road 951 are significantly impacted in
the Peak Direction during PM Peak Hour.
Therefore, the subject application can be deemed consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transp0l1ation
Element of the Growth Management Plan (GMP).
Environmental Element: There are no CCME issnes for this petition as part of the rezone action.
All EnvirOlunentallmpact Study (EIS) , wetland and preservation issues will be addressed as pat1
of any subsequent development order review.
ANALYSIS:
Staff completed a comprehensive evaluation of this land use petition and has reviewed the criteria
on which a determination must be based. These criteria are specifically noted in Section
10.03.05.H. of the LDC. The staff evaluation establishes a factual basis to support the
recommendations of staff. The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) uses these same
criteria as the basis for the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), who in
tUl11 use the criteria to support their action on the rezoning request. These evaluations are
completed as part of the Zoning and Land Development Review provided below.

Transportation Review: Transportation Depmtment Staff has reviewed the petition for compliance
with the GMP and the LDC. TranspOltation Planning staff can recommend approval of this
project.
Environmental Review: Enviromnental Review staff has reviewed this petition, and reconunends
approval. The Environmental AdvisOlY Council (EAC) did not review this petition, and an
Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was not required because a conventional rezone does not
require a site plan. An ElS will need to be provided with any subsequent development order
approvals that may be sought if the rezon.ing is approved. Preservation areas will be addressed as
part of development order review. Wetland line(s) will have to be verified and approved by the
SFWMD prior to completion of next development order.
Utilities Review: Public utilities staff has reviewed this petition and has no objection. According
to the cunent 2008 Water and Wastewater Master Plan Updates, the project location is within the
Collier County Water - Sewer District Service Area. Per GIS, there is an existing IO-inch water
main on Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension. GIS does not show that the County owns sewer
utilities in the right-of-way contiguous to this development. Since the project site is not presently
serviced with centrally provided sewer, the project will need to utilize a septic system until central
sewer is available. This project is located in the zone of the existing North Hawthorn Well field of
the NOlth County Regional Water Treatment Plant. The rules and regulations for protection of
well fields will need to be followed. All well sites and pipeline easements located on and close to
this project will need to be shown on all future site development plans, PPL or any other site plan
applications.
Zoning and Land Development Reviews: Zoning staff has reviewed tllis petition and concurs
with the findings of Comprehensive Platming. The proposed rezone and use is fOlmd to be
consistent with the GMP. In addition, the proposed project will meet the Agricultural Zoning
District criteria. According to LDC Section 2.03.01, the purpose and intent of the rural
agricultural district is to provide:
. . . . lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating traditional
agricultural, agricullural related activities and facilities, support facilities relaled 10
agricultural needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered
compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the agricultural,
environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the County are permissible as
conditional uses in the A district. The A district COrre~1}ond, to and implements the
Agricultural/Rural land use designation on the ji/ture land use map of the Collier
County GMP, and in some instances, may occur in the designated urban area. The
maximum density permissible in the rural agricultural district within the urban mixed
use district shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained in the fi/ture
land use element of the GMP. The maximum density permissible or permitted in the A
district shall not exceed the density permissible under the density rating system. The
maximum density permissible in the A district within the agricultural/rural district of the
future land use element of the Collier County GMP shall be consistent wilh and not
exceed the density permissible or permitted under the agricultural/rural district of the
./i/ture land use element.

As noted on page 2, the petitioner is seeking this rezone to allow agricultural uses as well as
single-family dwellings and golf courses and other uses by right. The proposed intent of the
rezone appears to be in agreement with thc purpose and intent of the Agricultural zoning district
and the list of uses permitted within it because the RFMUD-Neutral designation allows these uses
by right. That designation is an overlay district which supersedes the limitations of the
Agricultural zoning designation to allow additional uses (the golf course use) that would otherwise
require conditional use approval in a non RFMUD-Neutral GMP land use designation.
The subject property is surrounded by agricultural zoning on three sides-nOJih, east and west. To
the north and east the lands are either undeveloped or used for agricultural activities. To the west
is a golf course. To the south is the proposed Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension and then single
family houses within the Estates zoning district. If the rezoning is approved, the developer will be
required to provide the minimum landscape buffers as provided for in the LDC in effect when
future development is sought. At the present time, residential zoning or uses that abut agricultural
zoning or uses would be required to provide a Type A buffer, which is a 10-foot wide landscape
buffer with trees spaced no more than 30 feet on center. As indicated in the GMP discussion of
this stafTreport the 553.6 acres in the subject site would allow a maximum density of 110 dwelling
units.

Revised (2) 3/17/09
As noted in the GMP Consistency portion of this report, the proposed nses and development
standards would generally further the goals and objectives of the FLUE and the applicable pOltions
of the CCME and the TranspOltation Element. Therefore, staff recommends that this petition be
deemed consistent with the GMP.
2. The existing land use pattern.
As described in the "Surrounding Land Use and Zoning" portion of this report, the neighborhood's
existing land use pattern is characterized by agriculturally zoned and used lands to the nOlth and
east; agriculturally zoned lands uses as a golf course to the west; and the Vanderbilt Beach Road
Extension then Estates zoned lands with residential uses to the south.
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts.
The proposed rezoning would not create an isolated zoning district because, as noted above the
parcel is sunounded by agricultural zoning on thTee sides.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing conditions on
the property proposed.for change.
As shown on the zoning map included at the begilming of this report, the existing district
boundaries are logically drawn. The proposed zoning boundaries follow the property ownership
boundaries. The location map on page two of the staff repOlt illnstrates the perimeter of the outer
boundary of the subject parcel.
5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed amendment
necessaJJJ.
The proposed change is not necessary, per se; it is being requested in compliance with the LDC
provisions to seek such changes. The proposed zoning change is appropriate because its
relationship to the FLUE (Future Land Use Element of the GMP) is positive.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood.
The County's land use policies that ar'e reflected by the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the
GMP support the approval of the uses proposed at this location. Staff is of the opinion that the
proposed rezone is consistent with the County's land use policies that are reflected by the Future
Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. If the 110 dwelling units are developed on site, the LDC
required buffers and development standards should ensure that any future residential development
is compatible with the neighborhood. Therefore, staff is of the opinion that the proposed change
will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood.
7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or create
types of trafjic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because of peak volumes or
projected types of vehicular trqfjic, ineluding activity during construction phases of the
development, or otherwise affect public safety.

, '~-'-'--'-------"'-" . --,
The proposed change will not create or excessively increase traffic congestion over the amount
cUlTently generated under the CG zoning. However, the surrounding property owners may
perceive the rezone to the Agriculture Zoning District to allow additional dwelling units to be
constructed as adversely impact traffic now on the local streets. Since the transpotiation analysis
does not indicate that the traffic generated by this project would be considered excessive, staff
does not believe the additional traffic would be considered incompatible.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem.
The development that the rezoning could allow should not create drainage or surface water
problems because the LDC specifically addresses prerequisite development standards as pmi of the
local development order process that are designed to reduce the risk of flooding on nearby
properties. Any proposed water management and drainage system will need to be designed to
prevent drainage problems on site and be compatible with the adjacent water management systems.
Additionally, the LDC and GMP have regulations in place that will ensure review for drainage on
new developments.
9. Whether the proposed change will serious~y reduce light and air to adjacent areas.
The proposed change will not seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas since projects in
Collier County are subject to the development standards that are unique to the zoning district in
which it is located. These development standards and others apply generally and equally to all
zoning districts (i.e. open space requirement, corridor management provisions, etc.) were designed
to ensure that light penetration and circulation of air does not adversely affect adjacent areas.
10. Whether the proposed change would adversely affect property values in the adjacent area.
Since the proposed change is deemed to be consistent with the GMP and LDC, staff is of the
opinion that propetiy values should not be adversely affected. This is a subjective detetmination
based upon anticipated results which may be internal or external to the subject prOpctiy. Property
valuation is affected by a host of factors including zoning; zoning by itself mayor may not affect
values, since value determination is driven by market value. There is no guarantee that the project
will be marketed in a manner comparable to the surrounding developments.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations.
Properties around this property are already partially developed as previously noted. The basic
premise underlying all of the development standards in the LDC is that sound application, when
combined with the site development plan approval process and/or subdivision process, gives
reasonable assurance that a change in zoning will not result in deterrence to improvement or
development of adjacent propetiy. Therefore, the proposed rezone should not be a detelTent to the
improvement of adjacent properties.

Revised 3/17/09
Page 11 of 14
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
The proposed development complies with the GMP, a public policy statement supporting Zoning
actions when they are 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.
There is no reason the property could not be used in accordance with existing zoning. Any
petition for a change in land use is reviewed for in compliance with the GMP and the LDC with
the Board of County Commissioners ultimately ruling what uses and density or intensity is
approved or, on the contrary, if the petition is denied. This petitioner is proceeding through the
proper channels to garner that Board ruling.
14. Whether the change suggested is out o{scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the county.
The proposed development complies with the GMP requirements for the uses proposed and
density would not be allowed to exceed the GMP allowances. The GMP is a policy statement
which has evaluated the scale, density and intensity of land uses deemed to be acceptable
throughout Collier County. Staff is of the opinion that the zoning district will ensure that the
project is not out of 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.
There may be other sites in the County that could accommodate the uses proposed; however, this
is not the determining factor when evaluating the appropriateness of a zoning decision. The
petition was reviewed on its own merit for compliance with the GMP and the LDC; 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.
Any development anticipated by the proposed zoning district would require considerable site
alteration and this project will undergo extensivc evaluation relative to all federal, state, and local
development regulations during the site development plan approval process and again later as patt
of the building permit process.
RZ-2008.AR-13951 Olde Florida Golf Club
Revised 3/17/09
Page 12 of 14
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 GMP and as defined and
implemented through the Collier County adequate public facilities ordinance.
The project will have to meet all applicable critelia set forth in LDC Section 6.02.00 regarding
Adequate Public Facilities for and the project will need to be consistent with all applicable goals
and objectives of the OMP regarding adequate public facilities. This petition has been reviewed
by county staff that is rcsponsiblc for jurisdictional elements of the GMP as patt of the rezoning
process and those staff persons have concluded that no Level of Service will be adversely
impacted.
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.
To be detcnnined by the BCC during its advertised public hearing. Based upon the above analysis,
staff is of the opinion that the proposed change to the Agricultural Zoning District is not
anticipated to have an adverse effect upon the slllTounding area.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIMl;,
The meeting was duly noticed by the applicant and held on Februaty 19, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. at the
Golden Gate Estates Libraty. Five people from the public attended, as well as the applicant's team
(Margaret Peny, Jeff Peny and Tom Trettis of WilsonMiIler, Inc. and Bill Barton and Tom
Wildenhaus from Olde Florida Golf Club) and county staff.
Ms. Peny presented an overview of the requested Rezone their client is seeking. Ms. Peny
explained that by rezoning the property from its current Zoning of Golf Course to Agriculture this
would allow the property owner more uses, such as single family homes.
There was no opposition to the rezone, but the following comments were made by those in
attendance. One resident wanted to know where the access to the property would be. The
petitioner responded that it would be in the same place as it is today; no change is proposed. The
same resident wanted clarification that no commercial uses could be built with this rezone, and the
petitioner assured him that commercial use is not an approved use under agriculture or in the Rural
Fringe Neutral Area and that in order to allow commercial uses, a Growth Management Plan
Amendment would be required. Several residents asked if there were any plans to remove the golf
course. The property owner stated that he intends to keep the current golf course intact. A
discussion also occurred regarding the alignment of the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Zoning and Land Development Review staff recommcnds that the Collier County Plamling
Commission (CCPC) forward a recommendation of approval of Petition RZ-2008-AR-13951 to
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).

RE: RZ-2008-AR-13951, Olde Florida Golf Club
Dear Ms Deselem:
The above-referenced petition was previously reviewed by staff and was forwarded to the CCPC with a
recommendation of approval. The CCPC considered this petition at their April 2, 2009 meeting and
recommended approval; however, the conditions of approval associated with the petition were somewhat
confusing.
After the CCPC action, our team coordinated with various County staff including Joe Schmitt, Susan Istenes,
Ray Bellows, Jeff Klatzkow and you, and also with Mark Strain in an effort to arrive at an agreeable solution
and to address the stipulations of approval by the CCPC. A conceptual rezone master plan has been prepared
which we believe will address the issues raised by the CCPC and will hopefully be endorsed by them. We are
also hoping the CCPC will agree to the removal of stipulations 2 and 3.
Enclosed with this submittal are nine copies of the following:
. This cover letter
. Conceptual Rezone Master Plan (24 x 36 and 11 x 17)
. Original CCPC conditions of approval
We understand lhat you will distribute this information to County staff for review and that they will have 30 days
to provide you with any comments After this submittal has been deemed sufficient, hearings will then be
scheduled before the CCPC and the BCC. It is the responsibility of our client to cover the advertising costs for
the CCPC hearing and for the postage for property owner notification letters for the CCPC hearing, and per
your direction, a check in the amount of $2,624 is included with this submittal.
Thank you for your continued assistance in processing this rezone application.
coordination and cooperation.
We look forward to continued
Sincerely, "

As depicted on the conceptual Master Plan on the preceding page, entitled "Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD
Master Concept Plan," prepared by Davidson Engineering, Inc. and dated June I I, 2007, as revised
through September 22,2009, the proposed building(s) would be situated within a 2.10-acre envelope
occupying the central portion of the sitc. This envelope would be buffered from the adjoining Estates
(E)-zoned properties to the north and west by a 25-loot wide landscape buffer, and would be further
separated from the existing single-family homes there by an additional 50-foot wide buffer comprised
of solely native vegetation and storm water management detention areas, as required pursuant to the
Neighborhood Center Subdistrict of the GGAMP. Since the site's original 5.46 acres would be
reduced to 3.93 acres after right-of-way easements, future reservations, and compensating right-of-
way have been deducted, the site's required preserve would be just 0.39-acres (3.93 acres x 10
percent), which would be provided in the northwestern corner of the native vegetation buffer. Overall,
1.18 acres (3.93 x 30 percent) would be retained as open space on the site, as required by the LDC.
Access to the site would be afforded from a right-inlright-out access point on Golden Gate Boulevard
and a right-in access point on Everglades Boulevard. Potential inter-parcel connections to the abutting
residential uses to the north and west would also be provided, as depicted on the Master Plan, since
according to the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict. these properties would be eligible for Conditional
Uses if the proposed CPUD is approved.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The subject property is designated Estates Mixed Use District,
Neighborhood Center Subdistrict, as identified on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the GGAMP.
Specifically, it is within the Everglades Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard Neighborhood Center.
The intent of the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict is to allow for development to provide basic
goods, services and amenities to Golden Gate Estates residents while maintaining the semi-rural
character of the area. Relevant to this petition, the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict permits
neighborhood commercial uses and Conditional Uses of the E Zoning District, subject to the specific
development standards italicized below, followed by staffs comments in bold font:
Neighborhood Center Criteria:
. Commercial uses shall be limited to intermediate commercial so as to provide for a wider
variety of goods and services in areas that have a higher degree of automobile traffic. These
uses shall be similar to C-1, C-2, or C-3 zoning districts outlined in the Collier County Land
Development Code (Ordinance 91-102, adopted October 30, 1991), except as prohibited
below.
The proposed principal uses, listed in Exhibit A to the CPUD documents, are limited to
the C-l, C-2 or C-3 zoning districts.
Parcels immediately adjacent to commercial zoning within the Neighborhood Centers
located at the intersections of...Golden Gate Boulevard and Everglades Boulevard...may
qualifY for Conditional Uses under the transitional conditional use provision of the
Conditional Uses Subdistrict of this Master Plan Element.
As previously noted, the E-zoned parcels adjacent to the north and west of the
proposed CPUD would be eligible for E-zoning Conditional Uses if the CPUD is
approved.
. A single project shall utilize no more than 50 percent of the total allowed commercial
acreage. This percentage may be increased at the discretion of the Board of County
Commissioners.

_ ^__.____ .~...~<__m____.__."
Although this petition requests commercial zoning for the entire northwestern
quadrant of the Neighborhood Center, it represents less than 50 percent of the entire
Neighborhood Center.
. The project shall make provisions for shared parking arrangements with adjoining
developments.
Both of the adjacent parcels contain a single-family dwelling. Therefore, shared
parking is not needed or even appropriate.
. Access points shall be limited to one per l80feet commencing from the right-ofway of the
major intersecting streets ol the Neighborhood Center. A maximum ol three curb cuts per
quadrant shall be allowed
The PUD Master Plan depicts two access points, both in compliance with this
restriction. Additionally, this criterion has been addressed in Exhibit B of the CPUD
document, Commercial Development Standards, Section 3, Transportation, item A.
. Driveways and curb cuts shall be consolidated with adjoining developments, whenever
possible.
If the CPUD is approved and an abutting parcel obtains Conditional Use approval,
such shared access would be appropriate. Therefore, the PUD Master Plan depicts
future interconnections to both of these properties.
. Driveways accessing parcels on opposite sides of the roadway shall be in direct alignment,
except when the roadway median between the two parcels has no opening.
This criterion has been addressed in Exhibit B, Section 3, item A.
. Projects shall provide a 25~foot wide landscape buffer abutting the external right-ofway.
This buffer shall contain two staggered rows of trees that shall he spaced no more than 30
feet on center, and a douhle hedgerow at least 24 inches in height at the time of planting
and attaining a minimum of three feet height within one year. A minimum of 50 percent of
the 25-100t wide buffer area shall be comprised ol a meandering bed of shrubs and ground
covers other than grass. Existing native trees must be retained within this 25~loot wide
buffer area to aid in achieving this buffer requirement; other existing native vegetation
shall be retained, where possible, to aid in achieving this buffer requirement Water
retention/detention areas shall be allowed in this buffer area if left in natural state, and
drainage conveyance through the bufler area shall be allowed if necessary to reach an
external outlall.
The language of this criterion has been incorporated into Exhibit B, Section 2,
Buffering and Environmental, item A.

All buildings shall have tile roofs, 'Old Style Florida' metal roofs, or decorative parapet
walls above the roofline. The buildings shall be finished in light, subdued colors, except for
decorative trim.
This criterion has been provided for in Exhibit B, Section 1, Architectural, item B.
. Building heights shall be limited to one (1) story, with a maximum height of thirty-five (35)
feet. This provision only applies east of Collier Boulevard.
This criterion has been provided for in the table in Exhibit B, Development Standards.
. All lighting facilities shall be architecturally designed, and shall be limited to a height of
twenty-five (25) feet. Such lighting facilities shall be shielded from neighboring residential
land uses.
This criterion has been provided for in Exhibit B, Section 1, item I.
. Commercial uses shall encourage pedestrian traffic through the placement of sidewalks,
pedestrian walkways, and marked crosswalks within parking areas. Adjacent projects shall
coordinate the placement of sidewalks so that a continuous pathway through the
Neighborhood Center is created.
This criterion has been provided for in Exhibit B, Section 1, item C.
. All buildings and projects within any single specific quadrant of the subdistrict shall utilize
a common architectural theme. This theme shall be applicable to both building design and
slgnage.
This criterion has been provided for in Exhibit B, Section 1, item A,
. No building footprint shall exceed 5,000 square feet, unless the project is submitted in the
form of a PUD. Walkways or courtyards shall connect adjacent buildings. This provision
only applies east of Collier Boulevard.
This project was submitted as a CPUD and the connection provision is provided for in
Exhibit B, Section 1, item D,
. Drive-through establishments shall be limited to banks, with no more than three lanes; the
drive-through areas shall be architecturally integrated with the rest of the building. This
provision only applies east of Collier Boulevard.
Iu Exhibit B, Section 1, item E, the petitioner has added "drugstores" as another
allowable drive-through use. The petitioner's justification is that the CCPC
determined in 2006 that a drive-through pharmacy iu the Snowy Egret CPUD,
another Neighborhood Center located east of Collier Boulevard, was consistent with
the GGAMP's drive-through restrictions for bank facilities, which the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) agreed with and approved, As such, the petitioner is

require the BCC to make a similar finding of consistency. However, unless such
determination is made, staff has included a condition of approval limiting drive-
through uses to banks only.
. Fences or walls may be constructed on the commercial side of the required landscape
buffer between adjacent commercial and residential uses. If constructed, such fences or
walls shall not exceed jive (5) feet in height. Walls shall be constructed of brick or stone.
Fences shall be of wood or concrete post or rail types, and shall be of open design (not
covered by slats. boards' or wire).
This criterion has been provided for in Exhibit B, Section 1, item G.
. Projects directly abutting residential property (property zoned Estates and without an
approved conditional use) shall provide. at a minimum. a seventy-jive (75) feet wide buffer
in which no parking uses are permitted Twenty-jive (25) feet of the width of the buffer
along the developed area shall be a landscape buffer. A minimum of fifty (50) feet of the
buffer width shall consist of retained native vegetation and must be consistent with
subsection 3.95.5.6 [now Section 305.07 H] of the Collier County Land Development
Code (LDC). The native vegetation retention area may consist of a perimeter berm and be
usedfor water management detention. Any newly constructed berm shall be re-vegetated to
meet subsection 3.9.5.5.6 [now Section 3.05.07.H] of the LDC (native vegetation
replanting requirements). Additionally. in order to be considered for approval. use of the
native vegetation retention area for water management purposes shall meet the following
criteria:
a. There shall be no adverse impacts to the native vegetation being retained The
additional water directed to this area shall not increase the annual hydro-
period unless it is proven that such would have no adverse impact to the
existing vegetation.
b. If the project requires permitting by the South Florida Water Management
District. the project shall provide a letter or official documentfrom the District
indicating that the native vegetation within the retention area will not have to be
removed to comply with water management requirements. If the District cannot
or will not supply such a letter. then the native vegetation retention area shall
not be usedfor water management.
c. If the project is reviewed by Collier County, the County engineer shall
provide evidence that no removal of native vegetation is necessary to facilitate
the necessary storage of water in the water management area.

FLUE Policy 5.4 requires new land uses to be compatible with and complementary to the
surrounding land uses as set forth in the LDC. The compatibility analysis is described in detail in
the Analysis portion of this report, beginning on the following page.
Based upon the above analysis, the proposed rezone may not be deemed consistent with the
GGAMP solely due to the petitioner's inclusion of a drive-through pharmacy in the CPUD.
However, the CCPC should be aware that a drive-through pharmacy has been approved for another
CPUD in the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict, despite this subdistrict's restriction to drive-
through banks only.
Transportation Element: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the Traffic Impact
Statement (TIS) and the CPUD docwnent to offer a recommendation regarding Policy 5.1 of the
GMP's Transportation Element. This policy (and the other applicable policies) require an analysis
of rezone requests to consider their potential impacts on the transportation system; and Policy 5.1
specifically states that the COI.U1ty should not approve any rezone request that significantly impacts
a roadway segment already operating andlor projected to operate at an unacceptable Level of
Service (LOS) within the five-year planning period unless specific mitigating conditions are
approved.
Golden Gate Boulevard Impacts:
The first concurrency link that would be impacted by the project is Golden Gate Boulevard from
Wilson Boulevard to Everglades Boulevard (Link 123). The project would generate 20 PM peak
hour, peak direction trips on this link, which represent a significant 1.98 percent impact on the
roadway. Currently this segment of Golden Gate Boulevard is failing, with a remaining capacity of
-53 trips, and as reflected in the Draft 2009 AUIR, is operating at a LOS of "F". However,
mitigation has been proposed by the applicant that would allow considerable network
improvements.
No subsequent link of Golden Gate Boulevard would be significantly impacted.
Everglades Boulevard Impacts:
The next concurrency link that would be impacted by the project is Everglades Boulevard from
Golden Gate Boulevard to Oil Well Road (Link 135). The project would generate 20 PM peak
hour, peak direction trips on this link, which represents a significant 2.22 percent impact on the
roadway. Currently this segment of Everglades Boulevard has a remaining capacity of 594 trips
and, as reflected in the Draft 2009 AUIR, is operating at a LOS of "c."
No subsequent link of Everglades Boulevard is significantly impacted.
GMP Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concludes that this petition is consistent
with the FLUM and all of the applicable provisions of the Transportation Element. However, due
to the applicant's inclusion of the drive-through pharmacy, which is not permitted by the
Neighborhood Ccnter Subdistrict of the GGAMP. stall cannot find the CPUD consistent with the
goals, objective and policies of the FLUE.

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 Subsection 1O.02.13.B.5,
Planning Commission Recommendation ("PUD Findings"), and Subsection 10.03.05.!, Nature of
Requirements of Planning Commission Report ("Zoning Findings"), which establish the legal bases
to support the CCPC's recommendation. The BCC, in turn, use these same criteria to support their
action on the rezoning request. An evaluation relative to these subsections is discussed below,
under the heading "Zoning and Land Development Review Analysis." In addition, staff offers the
following analyses:
Environmental Analysis: All environmental issues have been addressed. The applicant was not
required to submit an Environment Impact Statement (EIS) for this project, nor was a hearing
before the Environmental Advisory Council required, because the 5.46-acre site does not exceed
the 10-acre threshold for tracts located landward of the coastal management boundary. As
previously stated, the subject property is within Zone 1 of the East Golden Gate Wellfield
Protection Area. As such, the storage or use of hazardous materials is strictly prohibited, and a
commitment barring such substances from the site has been incorporated into Exhibit E, Section 2,
item B. At the time of site development plan submittal, the applicant must demonstrate how
adverse impacts from stormwater management to native vegetation in the preserve area would be
prevented, as required by the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict.
Transportation Analysis: Transportation Department staff has reviewed the petition and the
CPUD document and Master Plan for right-of-way and access issues. The applicant has
incorporated Transportation staff's revisions within the CPUD document, and Transportation
Planning staff recommends approval subject to the Transportation commitments contained in the
CPUD document.
Utility Review: This project does not impact the utilities provision. Per the 2008 Water and
Wastewater Master Plan Update, the property is not located within the Collier County Water-
Sewer District nor is it part of any other existing Utilities District. As the development is within
the Golden Gate Estates Area, it is located in the City of Naples East Golden Gate Wellfield and
Collier County Potential Wellfield. Therefore, the rules and regulations for the protection of
wellfields would need to be followed.
Emergency Management: The Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD is not located within a hurricane surge
zone, nor does it propose residential development. As such, the Emergency Management
Department has no objection to its approval.
Zoning Review: LDC Subsection 10.02.13.B.5 states that, "In support of its recommendation, the
Planning Commission shall make findings as to the PUD Master Plan's compliance with the
following criteria:"
Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD, PUDZ-2007-AR-11398
Revised 11/9/09
Page 9
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 GMP designates the property a Neighborhood Center Subdistrict of the GGAMP,
which areas have been designed to concentrate commercial and conditional uses where
traffic impacts can be accommodated. The CPUD's proposed uses would be suitable
because of the GMP's contemplation of such areas for the provision of basic goods,
services and amenities for residents of the Estates. In addition, the site could
accommodate the traffic generated by these uses because of its location at the intersection
of Golden Gate Boulevard and Everglades Boulevard, both rural major collectors. The
CPUD also incorporates specific development requirements, as outlined in the
Neighborhood Center Subdistrict provisions, to cnsure the development's compatibility
with the existing pattern of development relative to the characteristics of the land,
surrounding areas, traffic, access, drainage, sewer, and water. Therefore, the site is
physically suitable for the proposed development.
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 andfacilities that are not to be provided or maintained at public
expense.
Documents submitted with the application, which were reviewed by the County
Attorney's Office, demonstrate unified control of the property. Additionally, the CPUD
document makes appropriate stipulations for the provision of necessary infrastructure.
3. Conformity ofthe proposed Planned Unit Development with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the Growth Management Plan (GMP).
Based upon the requirements of the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict and
Comprehensive Planning staffs analysis, the proposed CPUD may be deemed consistent
with the GMP except for its proposal to allow a drive-through pharmacy.
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.
As depicted on the CPUD Master Plan included at the beginning of this report (and in
Exhibit C to the CPUD document), the proposed uses would be separated from the single-
family homes to the north and west by a 25-foot wide enhanced Type C buffer (as
described in Exhibit B, itcm B) coupled with a minimum 50-foot wide buffer of retained
native vegetation. To the east, and south, along Everglades Boulevard and Golden Gate
Boulevard, respectively, the enhanced Type C buffer would also be provided. All of these
Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD, PUDZ-2007-AR-11398
Revised 11/9/09
Page to
proposed buffers would be consistent witb the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict
provisions and would exceed the requirements of the LDC.
5. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the
development.
According to the Master Plan, 30 percent of the site's total area remaining after the
conveyance of right-of-way, representing 1.18 acres, would be retained as open space,
which meets the minimum open space requirement of the LDC.
6. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of assuring the adequacy of available
improvements and facilities, both public and private.
No level of service deficiencies currently affect this site and the Developer Commitments
contained in Exhibit E would provide for the adequate provision of necessary
infrastructure to meet concurrency requirements at the time of site development plan
(SDP) approval. Therefore, the timing of development would not be an issue if the
proposed rezoning were approved.
7. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion.
Consistent with the intent of the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict, the site is neither
designed nor intended to provide for expansion. Nevertheless, approval of this petition
should not adversely impact the ability of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion.
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 project's development standards are contained in Exhibit B of the CPUD document.
Although LDC Section 2.03.06.C.3 permits CPUDs to include the entire range of uses
permitted in the General Commercial (C-l) through the Heavy Commercial (C-S) zoning
districts, the provisions of the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict restrict these uses to only
those that are allowed by the C-I through C-3 zoning districts. As such, the C-2 zoning
district has been used as a benchmark to evaluate the proposed development standards
against the standards of the most similar conventional zoning district. As illustrated in
the following table, the proposed CPUD standards are consistent with the C-2 zoning
district.

LDC Subsection 10.03.05.1.2 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 Growth Management Plan
As noted on page eight of this report, except for the inclusion of a drive-through
pharmacy in the list of permitted uses, Comprehensive Planning staff has found the
CPUD to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and the other applicable
provisions of the GMP. Furthermore, the property is designated as a Neighborhood
Center Subdistrict, whose specific development requirements outlined in the GGAMP
have been appropriately referenced in the PUD document to assure their compliance.
2. The existing land use pattern;
The subject property is located at the crossroads of Golden Gate Boulevard and
Everglades Boulevard, an intersection in which all four quadrants are classified as a
Neighborhood Center Subdistrict by the GGAMP. Except for thc property in the
northeastern corner of the intersection, which is zoned Big Bear Plaza CPUD and
approved for commercial uses consistent with the C-l through C-3 zoning districts, the
properties surrounding the subject site are zoned E and are either developed with single-
family homes or undeveloped lots. In light of this land use pattern, the proposed CPUD
would be appropriate for this location.
Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD, PUDZ-2007-AR-11398
Revised 11/9/09
Page 12
3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts;
Approval of this CPUD would not create an isolated district as the proposed CPUD
fulfills the intent of the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict of the GMP, which is to locate
commercial uses that can provide basic goods, services and amenities to Golden Gate
Estates residents while stilI maintaining the semi-rural character of the area.
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing conditions on
the property proposed for change.
The aerial photograph on page two of this report highlights the boundary of the subject
property and demonstrates that it is logically drawn consistent with the Neighborhood
Center Subdistrict.
5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed rezomng
necessary.
As contemplated by the GGAMP of the GMP, an increased population in the Estates-
designated area of the County, which is typically far from the Urban-designated area,
has created a need for basic commercial goods and services closer to Estates residents.
The proposed CPUD would meet the needs of this population by rezoning E-designated
property to CPUD in order to permit basic commercial uses ranging from C-l to C-3 in
intensity. Furthermore, the Neighborhood Center Subdistrict encourages rezones the
form of a PUD.
6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood;
The proposed CPUD would not adversely affect living conditions in the neighborhood.
Incorporated into the proposed CPUD document are the applicable provisions of the
Neighborhood Center Snbdistrict of the GMP, which were designed to assure that the
commercial development anticipated for the subject site would respect the location's
semi-rural nature. For example, an effective 75-foot buffer would be required to
separate the proposed uses from adjoining residential ones; a rural, "Old-Florida"
architectural style would be required, including complementary signage and street
lights; allowable uses would be limited to intermediate commercial and potentially
noxious uses would be prohibited; and access points would be restricted. Additionally,
staff has recommended a condition of approval limiting the hours of operation on the
site from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., as was approved for the Big Bear CPUD across Everglades
Boulevard, to prevent potential incompatibilities with adjoin residential uses. The
development of the project would also have to bc in compliancc with applicablc
concnrrcncy management rcgulations at thc timc developmcnt approvals wcrc sought.
Thercforc, the proposed uscs would not only be compatiblc with the surrounding
neighborhood, but would enhancc living conditions by providing much nceded
commcrcial services and amcnities.

Revised II /9/09
Page 13
..-.----------....
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.
As previously noted, the proposed CPUD was reviewed by Transportation Planning
staff, who has ensured that the language incorporated into Exhibit E of the CPUD
document is appropriate mitigation for potential traffic impacts. In conformance with
Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP, no significant level of service
impacts would result from this project. Rather, the provision of goods and services in the
Estates-designated area will reduce the average trip length for these residents. For these
reasons, the proposed CPUD would not excessively increase traffic congestion or
otherwise create adverse traffic impacts.
8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem;
The proposed change would not create surface water problems since the CPUD
document incorporates appropriate language to insure suitable drainage on the site,
such as the provision of 0.61 acres for stormwater management and the utilization of the
75-foot-wide buffer area for stormwater detention. The project would also be reviewed
and approved by the County's Stormwater Engineering staff and the South Florida
Water Management District at the time of site development plan review. Therefore, no
drainage problems would result from the proposed development.
9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas;
The proposed CPUD would not impact light and air on adjacent properties since ample
setbacks have been provided for the building envelope from the property's boundaries
as a result of the intense buffering requirements of the subdistrict.
10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent area;
This is a subjective determination based upon a variety of circumstances that are
external to the subject property (since property valuation is affected by a host of factors
other than zoning). However, given the proposed development standards, no diminution
of property values would be anticipated.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations;
The proposed development fulfills the planning objectives of the GGAMP, so it is
improbable that it would be a deterrent to the improvement of adjacent property in
accordance with the existing regulations. It should also be noted that development of the
Fakahatchee Plaza CPUD, PUDZ-2007-AR-I J 398
Revised 11/9/09
Page /4
subject property would make the two adjacent residential properties eligible for
Conditional Uses pursuant to the transitional Conditional Use provisions of the GMP.
12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasting with the public welfare;
As previously stated, the proposed CPUD complies with the Neighborhood Center
Subdistrict of the GGAMP and, with the developer's commitments contained in Exhibit
E, would also be consistent with the applicable regulations of the LDC. Furthermore,
land use applications are subject to a public hearing process to insure that they do not
constitute a grant of special privilege and that they are compatible with other properties
in the vicinity.
13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with
existing zoning;
E-zoning is no longer the most appropriate for this location. Because the property is at
the intersection of two major rural collectors, it is more suitable for the intermediate
commercial uses needed by the area's burgeoning population. Moreover, the
Neighborhood Center Subdistrict of the GGAMP designates this area for the proposed
uses.
14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the
County;
As previously stated, the commercial uses of proposed CPUD are needed by the
community, as reflected in the area's designation as a Neighborhood Center Subdistrict.
As acknowledged in criterion six above, the specific language of this subdistrict has been
incorporated in the CPUD document to ensure the project's compatibility with its
surroundings. Furthermore, zoned building height would be limited to one-story, with a
maximum height of 35 feet, which conforms to the neighborhood.
15. Whether is it impossible to find other adequate sites in the County for the proposed use in
districts already permitting such use.
There are potentially other sites already zoned to accommodate the proposed
development; however this is not the determining factor when evaluating the
appropriateness of a rezoning decision. The proposed CPUD was reviewed and deemed
compliant with the GMP and the provisions of the LDC, subject to approval of the
requested deviations.
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.

Any development on the site would require some site alteration. However, with the
proposed development, one acre (18 percent of the site) would remain vegetated or
replanted with native flora.
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.
As noted, the proposed CPUD petition has been reviewed by the Transportation
Planning Department and the Utilities Department, both of which have recommended
approval of the project, finding that it would not have an adverse impact on the levels of
service for public facilities.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM):
The applicant duly noticed and held the required meeting on November 14, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. at
the Golden Gate Estates Branch Library. Thirteen people from the community attended, as well as
Fred Hood, AICP, and Tim Hancock, AICP, of Davidson Engineering, and County staff.
Mr. Hood explained the objective of the CPUD rezone by stating the following:
· 25,000 square-feet of commercial was proposed;
· Uses consistent with the C-I through C-3 zoning districts were being sought;
· A minimum 25-foot landscape buffer would be provided around the site;
· A 75-foot wide buffer with a meandering berm would be provided adjacent to residential
uses;
. Maximum building height would be 35 feet;
· Only two points of access would be provided. Golden Gate Boulevard would be right-
in/right-out and Everglades Boulevard would be right-in only;
. Right-of-way would be set aside for road widening; and
. The CPUD would provide needed retail and/or otlice space.
Mr. Tim Nance of the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association said that the applicants could
garner the support of the Civic Association if lighting were carefully examined and designed so as
not to impact adjacent residential uses. Another audience member expressed concern about a
"domino effect" if the property were rezoned. Mr. Hancock explained that the Neighborhood
Center Subdistrict provided for the proposed uses and that adjacent residential land could not just
be converted to commercial. Another person wanted to know what commercial uses would be
opening on the site. Mr. Hancock replied that no business had signed a letter of intent at this time
but added that they would like to see a small restaurant, dry cleaners and other uses of that nature.
Mr. Hancock assured attendees that there would be no fast-food restaurant, and that the only drive-
through uses would be a bank and a pharmacy. He also said that no gas station would be permitted

because of the site's well field location. Finally, he committed to a building height of one-story and
35 feet zoned, with an actual height of 47 feet.
No opposition to the rezone was expressed and the meeting concluded at 7:00 p.m.
Because of the long length of time between the original NIM and the project's CCPC hearing date,
the applicant held a second NIM on September 24,2009 at 5:30 p.m. at Golden Gate Fire Station
No.7!. Only two people from the community attended (who had also attended the first NIM), as
well as Mr. Hancock and County staff.
Mr. Hancock re-described the project and both of the citizens expressed their support, saying that
commercial uses were needed. They also wanted to know the feasibility of the adjoining properties
becoming commercial; and if there would be fast-food restaurants. Mr. Hancock explained that the
GMP would not allow the expansion of commercial to those properties or drive-through, fast-food
restaurants.
The meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
