Sgt. Gonzalez presented the video for review by the Special Magistrate.
Respondent, Thomas Conner, stated he stopped behind another car and was by a stop
sign which was labeled "Stop Here" with an arrow pointing down. He claimed the
placement of the sign was confusing. He further stated he measured the sign which was
located 25 feet from the intersection and ifhe wasn't suppose to stop at that spot, the
sign should have been located closer to the intersection.
Sgt. Gonzalez noted the County erected the sign in an effort to inform drivers to stop at
the line. He admitted the placement was difficult, but contended the car did not come
to a full stop prior to entering the intersection.
The Special Magistrate concurred the County's sign did give a direction but the purpose
was to clarify, not confuse. She stated the intersection is problematic and ruled the
Respondents were not in violation.
Finding the Notice of Hearing was properly served, the Respondents werefound

24. Notice #1361000023056 - BCC vs. Harvev Michael M02il or Barbara Gershkoff
Levine
The Hearing was requested by the Respondents. Respondent, H. Michael Mogil, was
present and represented his wife, Barbara Gershkoff Levine.
The County was represented by Sgt. Chris Gonzalez.
The Respondents reside at 1104 Sth Street South, Naples, Florida 34102, and Mr. Mogil
confirmed he and his wife are the registered owners of the vehicle.
Date of Violation: January 19,2010
Time: 7:33 AM
Location: Intersection of Collier Blvd. and Golden Gate Parkway
Sgt. Gonzalez presented the video for review by the Special Magistrate and stated the
light was red for .OS seconds and vehicle drove through the intersection at a speed of
4
April 5, 2010
approximately 51 miles per hour. The yellow light should remain on for approximately
4.5 seconds at the intersection.
Mr. Mogil stated he is a math tutor and runs the "MathWorks Tutoring Center." He
investigated the light to determine if it was "quick-timed," or running at less than one
second for every 1 0 miles per hour. The ITE Standard is 4.5 seconds in a 45 mph zone.
He conducted a timing study of approximately 150 intersections and introduced an
Excel spread sheet containing his data which was marked as Respondent's Exhibit "1"
and admitted into evidence.
Some of the results presented are:
· Various intersections in Naples at 45 miles per hour
· Range of times for amber lights ran from 2.9 to 5.07 seconds
· 58 of the 65 samples taken at the intersections were below the ITE ("Institute
for Traffic Engineers") Standard
· He tested four "Red Light"
· He took four samples at each intersection and the average for the amber light
was 4.6 seconds
· After taking fifteen samples, he found the timing northbound lane of Collier and
Golden Gate was 3.83 seconds
· The eastbound lane at the same light (which is a 35 mph speed limit) met the
standard
· Conclusion: both the northbound and southbound traffic signals are improperly
set for traffic at 35 miles per hour and his wife did not violate the Ordinance
because the signal was improperly timed
o If the signal had been properly timed, his wife's vehicle would have
been well into, or past, the intersection when the light changed
Sgt. Gonzalez asked Eugene Calvert from Collier County Traffic Operations to respond
and there would have been enough time to stop if the Respondent's wife had been
driving at the speed limit of 45 mph.
The Special Magistrate asked if the "required time" of 4.5 seconds was a Statutory
requirement, an Administrative requirement, or a hoped-for average.
Mr. Calvert stated the timing for yellow lights is set to the Industry standard developed
by ITE ("Institute for Traffic Engineers") and is based on the speed limit for the area.
The standard timing throughout Collier County is approximately 4.3 for 45 mph speed
limit. The reason is to allow a driver enough reaction time to recognize the change in
signal and safely bring the vehicle to a stop. He was unable to testify concerning the
exact timing ofthe light at the intersection in question without checking the County's
records.
Mr. Mogil reiterated the speed limit for the east bound lane feeding into the intersection
is 35 miles per hour while the north and southbound lanes are 45 miles per hour. He
maintained the light was out of timing.
5
April 5, 2010
Mr. Mogil referred to information posted on the FAQ page on the County's website:
"Our minimum amber times are four seconds on the thru lanes. "
Cpt. Gonzalez noted the human factor of operating a stop watch versus the pressure
hose used to highways to capture time. The human reaction time can be delayed.
The Special Magistrate adjourned the case to allow the County's records to be
reviewed and the information will be presented later in the proceedings.
31. Notice #1361000010541 - Bee vs. Art S. and Jasmin Ramos
The Hearing was requested by Respondent, Art S. Ramos, who was present.
The County was represented by Sgt. Chris Gonzalez
Mr. Ramos resides at 557 Wedgewood Way, Naples, Florida 34119.
He stated he is divorced. His former wife is not aware of the Hearing. The vehicle is
leased in both names but will be turned in within the next two months. He stated he was
driving the vehicle.
Date of Violation: January 8, 2010
Time: 8:50 AM
Location: Intersection of Pine Ridge Road and Livingston Road
Sgt. Gonzalez presented the video for review by the Special Magistrate. He stated the
light was red as the vehicle approached and remained red as it proceeded through the
intersection.
The Respondent introduced the following exhibits which were marked and admitted
into evidence:
· Respondent's Composite" 1 " - nine photographs of various intersections
A photograph of the corner of Livingston and Pine Ridge Road was viewed and noted
a sign, "Right Turn on Red after Stop, " was mounted at the intersection. He stated
there were no signs at eye level. He stated he had not noticed the sign prior to the day
of the incident even though he drives through the intersection on a daily basis. He
stated the print on the sign was very small and difficult to read. He stated there was a
warning sign approximately one-half mile before the intersection alerting drivers that a
camera had been installed. He contended the signs governing whether or not a turn is
allowed should also be posted at eye level.
The Special Magistrate stated the Ordinance did not specify signs should be posted at
eye level. The law is to stop at the stop bar before proceeding into an intersection.
She also stated whether or not a sign is present, the law remains the same and, until
rescinded, the law will be applied to each case.

April 5, 2010
Finding the Notice of Hearing was properly served, the Respondent was found

36. Notice #1361000033618 - BCC vs. Ersin and Pinar N. Sevindik
The Hearing was requested by the Respondents. Respondent, Pinar N. Sevindik was
present and also represented her husband.
The County was represented by Sgt. Chris Gonzalez.
The Respondents reside at 5778 Cove Circle, Naples, Florida 34119. Mrs. Sevindik
verified that she and her husband are the registered owners of the vehicle.
Date of Violation : January 31, 2010
Time: 9:51 PM
Location: Intersection of Collier Blvd. and Golden Gate Parkway
Sgt. Gonzalez presented the video for review by the Special Magistrate and stated the
traffic signal was red as the Respondent's vehicle proceeded through the intersection.
The Respondent stated the roadway was damp and the canal was next to the road. She
further stated when the light changed, it went from yellow to red within four seconds,
and she did not want to risk stopping because of the possibility of skidding. She had
spun out once before on a wet road and she was afraid and did not feel it was safe to
stop.
The Special Magistrate stated the photograph did not indicate that the car's brake light
was on and there was nothing to indicate she was slowing down. The Respondent
exceeded the speed limit which was not safe on a damp roadway.
Finding the Notice of Hearing was properly served, the Respondent was found
GUILTY of the alleged violation and ordered to pay a fine of $62.50 plus an
administrativefee of$50.00. The Respondent is allowed 21 daysfrom receipt of
the Order to make payment.

(Continuation of earlier Hearing)

April 5, 2010
Date of Violation: January 19,2010
Time: 7:33 AM
Location: Intersection of Collier Blvd. and Golden Gate Parkway
Mr. Mogil stated he did not have objections to the County presenting its information.
Gene Calvert stated the County's Database could be printed.
The Special Magistrate asked him to do so and the document will be made part of the
record.
The intersection in question has only three approaches ("lanes"). Mr. Calvert
referenced the numbers contained in Phase I and Phase VI. He stated those phases will
run during the northbound approach to the intersection. The amber timing for through
movement is 4.0 seconds and the southbound is 4.0. The timing has been set for
several years.
The Respondent stated the 4.0 seconds interval used by the County is below the ITE
Standard used by the Industry.
Mr. Calvert agreed
The Special Magistrate asked if the County was required by law to adhere to the ITE
Standards.
Mr. Calvert said the Standards were guidelines but were adhered to around the County
and Collier County tried to maintain the same standards.
The Special Magistrate stated her decision was not made based upon the information
provided by the Respondent. She considered the location, the speed of the vehicle, and
the fact that the Respondent's wife made a decision to get through the intersection
because she thought it was a safety hazard to stop in the intersection and block traffic.
Finding the Notice of Hearing was properly served, the Respondents were found
NOT GUILTY.
V. OLD BUSINESS:
B. Motion for Re-Hearing:
1. Notice #1360900184513 - BCC vs. Josenh E. Harrin2ton
The Re-Hearing was requested by the Respondent who was present.
The County was represented by Cpt. Chris Gonzalez.
The Respondent stated he resides at 5021 Catalina Cove, Naples, Florida 34112.
The Special Magistrate stated she read the Respondent's letter dated March 9, 2010 and
will make it part of the record.
8
AprilS,201O
The Respondent stated he was not the operator of the vehicle because he was in
Massachusetts at the time and did not authorize anyone to use it.
The Special Magistrate asked where the keys to the vehicle were located.
The Respondent stated only he and his wife had keys to the vehicle which was parked
in the driveway. He noticed damage to the side panel when he returned and thought the
vehicle was parked within a foot of the same location where he parked it.
A neighbor and two good friends have a key to his house and check the house. The keys
were in the house. The neighbor had also told him she noticed pry marks on the molding
of the door to his house.
The Respondent objected to the Citation stating the photographs did not show who was
driving the vehicle when it was cited. He further stated he purchased the vehicle from
the County and alluded that other people could still have keys.
The Special Magistrate addressed the Motion for a Re-Hearing which was based upon
the Respondent's claim that he did not receive the initial Notice of Hearing because he
was out of State. The County could not produce documentation to refute him.
The Special Magistrate GRANTED the Respondent's Motionfor Re-Hearing
The Special Magistrate reviewed the video and asked the Respondent if the vehicle in
the video was his vehicle.
The Respondent stated he thought it was, but would be more positive if there were a
side view due to a shattered window which he had repaired.
The Special Magistrate summarized the scenarios presented by the Respondent:
· An unknown person came into the Respondent's driveway who may have had a
key and knew the vehicle had been sold to him by the County who then drove
the vehicle around and brought it back, OR
· Someone who came into the house by prying open the door, took the key, drove
the vehicle and brought it back, OR
· Someone known to the neighbor who watches the house took the key from her
without her knowledge, then drove the vehicle and brought it back.
The Respondent stated he wasn't in Naples and didn't know what happened.
The Special Magistrate stated the responsibility resides with the owner of the vehicle,
not the driver. An exception allowed by the Ordinance is if a vehicle had been reported
stolen, which the Respondent's car was not.
Finding the Notice of Hearing was properly served, the Respondent was found
GUILTY of the alleged violation and ordered to pay afine of $62. 50 plus an
administrativefee of $50. 00. The Respondent is allowed 21 daysfrom receipt of
the Order to make payment.
Total Amount Due: $112.50
