Item
A~RKEMIIT WITH COOPERS AND LYBRAND FOR AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING
~CE~ FOR TH~ FISCAL YEARS ENDINQ SEPTEI~R 30, 1993 AND 1994 -
Finance Director Yonkosky stated that this Item is a request for
the Board to review and approve an agreement for auditing and
accounting services for the Fiscal Years Ending September 30, 1993 and
1994.
Mr, Yonkosky recalled on July 20, 1993, the Board accepted the
ranking of the public accounting firms as presented by the Auditor
Selection Committee. He Indicated that as part of that process, the
Finance Director and the County Attorney were directed to negotiate a
one year agreement with the option to extend the agreement for one
year at the discretion of the Board.
Finance Director Yonkosky explained that the subject agreement ts
for a two year period with an exclusive unilateral right for the Board
to cancel the contract at the end of the f~rst auditing year.
Mr. Yonkosky reported that the County Attorneyta office has
reviewed the agreement for form and legal sufficiency and Risk
Management has made a review of same with regard to tho Inclusion of
the necessary insurance requirements.
Page 5
September 14, 1993
Finance Director Yonkosky advised that this contract locke in
rates for auditor services throughout the one or two year period at
the Board's discretion.
Mr. Yonkosky stated that the fee represents a 6~ increase over
last year. He indicated that the second year fee will be based on a
CPA renewal. He noted that one reason for the increase is due to ser-
vices provided last year which were not built into the fees, i.e. spe-
cial reports for grants, however, an Increase was not requested.
Finance Director Yonkosky reported that other counties have been
polled with regard to negotiated audit fees as listed in the Executive
Summary.
Ms. Phylis Jones, of Coopers and Lybrand revealed that the fees of
her firm include expenses. She stated that there would be nego-
tiations with regard to whether a specific fee includes expenses for
any special services that may be requested.
Com~issioner Volpe cited that Coopers and Lybrand have been
auditing for the County for the past six years and with a system in
place things should move a little more quickly. He remarked that
rather than a 6~ increase, he expected that there would be a reduction
due to the start up costs.
Ms. Jones stated that there are additional regulations that have
to be complied with each year, resulting in an increase in audit time.
She noted that these costs were absorbed last year rather than
requesting an increase. In addition, she indicated there are other
reports that are required which were not required six years ago.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Yonkosky remarked that this
selection process was advertised but only two firms responded. He
noted that several letters have been received from smaller firms that
would like to be involved with ancillary services. In addition, he
explained that Ms. Jones has assured the Auditor Selection Committee
that she will use a review partner in Tampa or Miami and therefore,
there would be a different look at some of the review processes.

Mr. Olllff explained that the Utilities Division owns property
containing a raw water booster station, comprised of ? acres at the
end of ?th Street S.W.
Mr. Olltff suggested that public hearings be conducted to deter-
mine If there Is Interest In locating a boat ramp In this area.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Olliff remarked that staff
looked at several sites, however, there ts a great public desire to
have the boat ramp located into the Golden Gate Canal system. He
noted that this site was attractive to staff since the County already
owns the property.

is located at the end of ?th Street, S.W. and is the western botlndary
of the APAC site. He indicated that there are currently approximately
25 homes on this street.
Commissioner Volpe remarked that the area off Golden Gate Parkway
near the K-Mart is being used by some people as a boat ramp and

Mr. Arnold advised that six firms submitted btde for this project
and noted that a bid protest has been received from the second low
bidder.
Mr. Arnold reported that a formal review has been conducted
relative to the bid protest and it ts the opinion of the County
Attorney that the irre~ularittee cited tn the protest could legally be
waived by the Commission. He indicated that this opinion was com-
municated to the protesting bidder, however, they have not responded
back and the time to do so within the purchasing policy has expired.
Mr. Arnold recommended that the Board waive the Irregularities and
award the bid to Mt/mir Construction.

Assistant Utilities Administrator Bloetscher indicated that during
the bidding process, several contractors advised that the 18 month bid
time for completion of the project was not adequate in order to secure
good bids and ~uarantee completion on time.
Mr. Bloetscher stated that the bulk of the requested contract
amendment relates to extending the on-site time of the engineer to 24
months on a time and material basis.
Commissioner Volpe noted that additional services are required in
add/t/on to extending the actual construction time. Mr. Bloetecher
replied that the electrical system has been expanded. He indicated
that a new grid chamber was needed and the contract is higher than
what was anticipated.
Mr. Sadde Ch/bani spoke with regard to this item.
Mr. Bloetscher referred to Pages 9 and 10 of the Executive
Summary, depicting the actual items that are being revised. He indi-
cated that $217,937 is the not-to-exceed figure, based upon the work

FROV~DI FURTHXR ANALYSIS
Administrative Services Administrator Ochs announced that the
Tentative 1994 Budget for group medical benefits contains a $9.8
million appropriation to cover the projected cost of claims for the
period beginning October 1, 1993 and ending September 30, 1994. He
recalled that during the preliminary review of this budget the Board
directed staff to look for ways to reduce this expenditure and report
back with recommendations prior to the final budget adoption.
Mr. Ochs stated that staff ts recommending that the Tentative FY
94 budget for claims payment be reduced by approximately $800,000. He
reported that this would reduce the Board's premium contribution
level from $241 per month to $222 per month for single coverage and
from $518 per month to $471 per month for family coverage.
Mr. Ochs explained that the recommended cost reductions would be
obtained by changing various deductibles, co-payments and/or out of
pocket expense /imitations, tn addition to reducing a number of speci-
fic benefits tn the current benefit plan. He remarked that some
reductions would be obtained by Increased contributions from employees
for the cost of dependent coverage.
Mr. Ochs related that tn addition to the plane design changes,
staff ha~ been working to add a managed health care component to the
benefit plan tn hopes of further reducing costs. He advised that
managed care ts a plan under which an employer negotiates fee
discounts from a group of providers tn exchange for guaranteeing those
providers a certain volume of patients. He remarked that staff has
received conceptual proposals from two firms to put these managed care
programs tn place.
Mr. Oche suggested that staff solicit some specific managed care
proposals from the Interested providers during the next few months and
present same to the Board prior to implementing a program on January
Page 12
September 14, 1993
1, 1994.
Commissioner Constantine stated that he strongly recommends
pursuing the managed care effort.
Commissioner Saundere remarked that last year employees received a
$?80 payment in lieu of a raise and 3~ ts budgeted for this year. He
indicated that the source of the $800,000 savings ia from the
employees. He noted that the employees will be seeing their paychecks
shrink significantly, considering inflation and the increase in medi-
cal costs being passed on to them. He suggested that staff perform an
analysis on the average employee as to the net affect of the take-home
pay.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Oche reported that
the county is shadowing what other group medical providers are doing
in terms of looking at managed care alternatives.
Mr. Oche stated that staff ts looking at plan design changes which
would be imposed on all participants in the plan tn addition to giving
employees the choice of three benefit levels, each with a different
deductible, out-of-pocket expense limitation or co-payment level.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Ochs advised that the School
Board and the City of Naples are experiencing the same types of
problems as those of the County. Commissioner Volpe suggested that
staff explore with some of the larger employers within the County,
I.e. Florida Power and Light, United Telephone and some of the banks,
whether there is the potential to bring the governnent employees under
one u~brella.
Mr. Brad Eetes spoke with regard to this item.
Tape ~2
Commissioner Matthews remarked that the plan includes single as
well aa family coverage and questioned whether any thought has been
given to coverage for two adults only. Mr. Ochs replied that this has
been preliminarily considered and will be further explored during the
coming plan year. He noted that 62~ of the claims have been coming
from the employees rather than their dependents.

September 14, 1993
Commissioner Matthews questioned whether staff has looked at Incen-
tives to not use the plan, i.e. Wellness Programs, and monetary incen-
tives for those who are well. Mr. Oche replied that staff did look at
a Wellness component a few months ago, however, it did not meat with
Board approval. Ha reported that staff ts looking at various ways to
restructure a program of that type in addition to changing some of the
current benefits to provide disincentives for people who ars impro-
perly or overly utilizing the plan.

Finance Director Yonkosky requested the Board authorize the
issuance of $17,335,000 in Special Assessment Bonds for the Pine Ridge
Industrial Park and Naples production Park MSTBU's.
Marc Samet, Collier County Financial Advisor, briefed the Board on
the Pricing Book, which ts meant to be a summary of this financing.
He noted the Effective Interest Cost (EIC) on this financing, which
has a final maturing tn the year 2013, is 5.60 percent. He advised
the paying agent, First Union National Bank, was selected as the
result of competitive bids.
Commissioner Volpe questioned if the proceeds from the sale of
these bonds will serve to repay, the line of credit with SunBank, to
which Mr. Samet responded in the affirmative.

Diane Flagg, Education Quality Control Manager for Emergency
Services, summarized the history of this item, which was continued
from the previous regular meeting in order to explore any poasible
hangar site alternatives.
Responding to Commissioner Volpe, Commissioner Constantine
reported there have been no new developments since the last meeting.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out a lease for space at the Naples
Airport has not yet been approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.
Ms. Flagg advised Staff has received a letter of commitment from
the Naples Airport Authority for the south quadrant of the airport,
and upon approval of the monies for design, Staff can begin nego-
tiating the lease.
Commissioner Volpe said he understands the importance of encum-
bering the $45,000 tn State funds now or they will not be available
next year; however, the County does not seem to be in a very good
bargaining position with the Naples Airport Authority.
Ms. Flagg explained the Airport Authority has provided an attach-
ment to their letter of commitment, where they will agree to a 40-year
lease term at 10 cents per square foot. She said that is substan-
tially less than what the County is presently paying, which ts 63
cents per square foot.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Flagg stated the Naples
Airport Authority has given the County an additional 10 years to their
normal lease term. She said at the end of the 40 years, the
constructed improvements will be owned by the Authority, however, that
can be discussed when the lease is brought back to the Board.
Commissioner Constantine asked if the County receives the State
000,A 240

funds and does not proceed with the project at the Naples Airport, can
those funds be returned to the State?
Ms. Flagg reported the State does not require the funds to be
returned, and they can be used for the same purpose at ~nothsr site.

REC0~B~I:END&T'rON THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE MAN&GERtS CAP?TAL PRO3~CTS
CONSOLI*D&TZON PLAN - CONTINUED '1'0 9/21/93
Tom Conrecode, Capita/ Projects Director, presented the Board with
an organizational chart of the proposed Capital Projects Consolidation
Plan. He said this plan began tn December, 1992, with the goal to
determine the most cost-effective approach for the County tn
comp/sting capital projects. He indicated the plan takes into con-
stderatton a total of 57 positions that were residing tn six different
departments and forming them Into one Capital Projects organization
with a staff of 46. He noted the plan eliminates eight existing posi-
tions, creates two position upgrades and 14 position downgrades.
Responding to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Conrecoda stated the
eight positions planned for elimination are currently vacant.
Commissioner Matthews asked what ts the approved salary range for
those eight positions?
Mr. Conrecode Informed those positions range from $35,000 to
$55,000.
Commissioner Matthews commented those positions could be elimi-
nated from the budget now because they are vacant, and the associated
monies can be saved without this reorganization.
Commissioner Constantine remarked he ts annoyed that thte plan ts
worded to Indicate an annual savings of $320,000, which ia not true.
Commissioner Volpe agreed, but suggested another Important point
is whether this ts a better way of doing business.
Mr. Conrecode referred to a chart explaining the fluctuations In
workload and concluded the benefit of the new plan ts better manage-
ment of the workload.
County Manager Dorrtll stated the Board has intended to attempt
consolidating functional areas with the rationale that there are pri-
marily four different departments responsible to build capital Impro-
vements. Increasingly, he said, he wants to be able to cross train
Page 18
September 14, 1993
and utilize common positions for a variety of projects. He said tn
has opinion, the most significant benefit is to be able to utilize all
of the engineering talent within the County. He added they are also
trying to eliminate or downgrade certain positions in administration
rather than have four department engineering directors.
Commissioner Constantine stated although he supports the concept,
he will not support this plan until he has received a cost analysis
and how that analysis has lead to this reorganization.
Commissioner Volpe agreed.
Commissioner Matthews asked that more information be provided on
how this department will function and interact with the departments
from which the engineers will be pulled who will have ultimate respon-
sibility for managing and maintaining what the engineers do. She also
requested to see a plan on how to retain the employees currently in
the X4 positions proposed to be downgraded.
County Manager Dorrill suggested this item be continued to allow
him to return with the following information: a written Staffing plan
by project; the difference between the private costs for the design
versus the estimated costs; reconcile the minimum versus the maximum
staffing plan; the difference between the dollar amount savings
through position downgrades as proposed to the position eliminations
or positions to be frozen; and the Impact on the annual budget.
The following person spoke at this time:
Rita Avalos
Responding to County Manager Dorrill, MAke McNees reported a set
of wholesale budget amendments will be necessary for this Issue for
the new fiscal year. He said there ts not sufficient time for the
types of changes that will be necessary to be built into the budget to
be adopted on September 22.

DZ~CU~BXOM REGARDXMO SEVEN MEMBER BOARD OF COUNTY
ACT'rOM
Commissioner Saunders asked the Board to consider a discussion on
whether to begin the process of evaluating what the potential benefits
would be, versus the negatives, of a seven member Board of County
Commissioners.
Commissioner Constantine communicated this subject was discussed
at length last year by the Republican Executive Committee. He indi-
cated the general opinion was that more government is not usually
better government, and stated he does not believe it is a good idea.
Commissioner Volpe suggested this topic be discussed during a
strategic planning session of the Board.
Tapm~3
Commissioner Matthews stated she te not in favor of a seven member
Board of County Commissioners. She stated It is extremely probable
that the two at-large commissioners would be elected from the urban
area, creating a majority of the Board in one area.
Commissioner Norris remarked there ts also the possibility of
three Commissioners being elected from one District. He said he does
not see the benefit and has several concerns.
The fo/lowing people spoke regarding this item:

DISCUSSION R~LRDING COUNTY COI~ISSXON MEETING SCII~DULZ - ZO ACTION
Commissioner Saunders suggested the Board cons/der rev/sing the
current meeting schedule to hear all administrative Items on Tuesday
Page 22
September 14, 1993
and schedule the zoning items on Wednesday, and that the meetings take
place either the first and third or second and fourth weeks of the
month. He sa~d in that way, the Board is meeting the same number of
times and the result will be a more efficient utilization of Staff
time and would be more accommodating to the public.
Commissioner Constantine agreed it is a good suggestion to address
this subject, however, he does not agree with this proposal.
Commissioner Volpe stated the Board has done a better Job in terms
of controlling the agenda, however, there te room for Improvement.
He suggested that presentations during the public hearings be limited
to a specified time.
Commissioner Norris agreed, adding the Governor and Cabinet l~mit
presentations to 15 minutes.
Commissioner Matthews recalled the Board discussed l~miting t~me
for the public petitions earlier in the year and It was decided that a
10-minute time limit be set. She said that has never been acted upon,
adding that two lmublic petitions heard at the last meeting lasted 2.5
hours. She also noted that many times, the petitioner Is followed by
several public speakers as if the discussion is taking place during an
advertised public hearing.
County Manager Dorrill reported certain items have been brought up
as public petitions several times, such as Lely Barefoot Beach four
times, and four or five public petitions for the Pine Ridge traffic
related issues.
Commissioner Matthews asked if the topics of public petitions can
be limited to being heard not more than once every six months or one
year?
County Attorney Cu¥1er reported after allowing the petitioner l0
minutes for his presentation, the Board may take a vote on whether or
not to hear the item again.
Commissioner Matthews commented that she likes Commissioner
Saunders' idea of scheduling two meetings in one week, providing the
agenda is received in sufficient time for proper review.
Page 23
September 140 1993
Commissioner Norris agreed the concept may work, however, stated
he is in favor of meeting every Tuesday and Wednesday.
In response to Commissioner Saundere, County Manager Dorrill com-
municated hie primary concern is waiting two weeks for the Board to
hear some items which cannot wait. For example, he said, two sub-
division utility acceptance matters were added to this agenda because
they could not wait one week. Ne said that type of schedule will
result in a long list of add-on items for the administrative meetings
which puts Staff in a difficult position, because the public has not
received prior notice of what will be discussed.
No ~ctionwas taken on this item.

DI~OI~IO~ I~(IARDI]i DISCIPLINARY &CTIOI PROOEDURE$ - OONTINUED
Commissioner Saundere stated he has recently reviewed the County's
disciplinary procedures and for an entire list of exempt classifica-
tions, mostly Department Directors and Administrators, those employees
have no rights at all In terms of their employment. He said they are
employed at will, which means they have no appeal process. He
remarked the recent action with Robert Demareet has pointed to the
fact that possibly, there are not enough due process rights for those
exempt employees. He suggested the Board review those personnel poli-
cies and enhance the right of employees to have some kind of an admi-
nistrative hearing. He asked the Board to consider a workshop on this
Issue.
Commissioner Norris stated his hesitation to have the Board
directly involved and that employees should look to their standard
legal process if they feel their rights have been violated.
Commissioner Saunders reminded Commissioner Norris that certain
exempt employees have no rights because they are employed at will. He
said Collier County has many very qualified employees who need some
protection.
Commissioner Volpe questioned what are the policies of other local

government entities?
County Manager Dorrill asserted in the 6.5 years he has been
County Manager° three non-exempt employees have been requested for
their resignations, and no one has been terminated. He said he ie
against creating a civil service system because, although it creates
rights that otherwise do not exist, emotional issues become political
decisions when other factors come into play. He indicated he ts not
opposed to providing the Board with additional information on various
alternatives being used in other governments.

DI$CU~IO~tItDI~G NANAaEI~NT RECRUITI~q~T - NO &CTION
Commissioner Saunders communicated as he was reviewing the
Personnel Rules and giving thought to some issues raised by the action
tn reference to Robert Demarest, he became concerned with whether
there is sufficient equal opportunity for women and minorities tn
senior management positions in Collier County. He referred to a list
of the department heads and division administrators, stating of
approximately 40 positions, three are fi/led with white females and
the rest are fi/led with white males. (Copy not provided to the Clerk
to the Board.) He suggested a quota system ie unacceptable to him,
however, local government needs to be reflective of the population
being represented. He commented the Board must be mindful of federal
anti-discrimination laws and regulations, and needs to begin a dialo-
gue on this issue.
Commissioner Volpe asked if the issue of minority recruitment has
been addressed?
Tom Whitecotton, Human Resources Director, reported they have made
great efforts in that area, but acknowledged not to the level where
the County needs to be. He communicated to date this year, 16 percent
of all hires have been minority employees. With regard to ~nternal
promotions, he said, approximately 33 percent of all positions are
Page 25
September 14, 1993
filled internally, and of that percentage, 33 percent are female.
Co.missioner Matthews pointed out those promotions are not upper
management positions, to which Mr. ~hitecotton agreed.
Commissioner Saunders reiterated hie concern, stating if the Board
does not take a serious look at this problem, someone else will.
Commissioner Volpe agreed that the Board should tame a positive
and proactive approach as part of recruitment that the protected
classes have opportunities within the management of Collier County
government.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Manager Dorrtll
stated of the upper management positions on the list he provided to
Commissioner Saunders, very few have been vacant since 1987.
Commissioner Saunders disagreed, describing a large number of
those positions and naming the employees who have been hired Into them
since 1987.
County Manager Dorrill commented an important point to remember ts
whether there are eligible female and minority applicants available
at the time of recruitment. He stated overall, they have made
outstanding progress.
Commissioner Norris agreed that a critical point is no one knows
if qualified people applied for those positions. He suggested tn the
future that Information should be contained in the personnel file when
either a hire or a promotion takes place. He said in that way, during
future discussions, it can be said definitively why the positions were
filled with a certain class of human being.
Commissioner Matthews communicated that currently, County govern-
ment is doing nothing to identify latent management potential. She
stated it is her belief that the County, as an employer, is being the
training ground for many people that private industry will eventually
enjoy.
Commissioner Constantine agreed with Commissioner Norris that a
tracking mechanism should be established so that this type of Infor-
mation ie available in the future.
Page 26
September 14, 1993
County Manager Dorrtll suggested as a starting point, that he
share with the Board the management Information being produced and
some of the outreach activities being utilized by Mr. Whttecotton; and
If that needs to be built upon, that this issue be discussed at
another Board meeting.
No ~cttonwas taken on this tte~.

Legal notice having been published In the Naples Daily News on
August 25, 1993, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt announced that
the Construction Code presented has gone through numerous hours of
evaluation by the construction Industry. He called attention to two
changes to the ordinance: Ordinance Title amended to include
"...Construction methods for one and two family dwellings'...= and a
change to Page 9 of the Ordinance, with regard to the thickness of
exterior plywood or oriented strand board.
Mr. Pat Corneltson, Florida Home Builders Code Committee Chairman,
provided a brief overview of highlights of the Code changes as shown
259
Page 27
September 14, 1993
tn a elide presentation.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the industry has concluded
what the additional costs would be in terms of construction to comply
with these standards. Mr. Corneltson replied that there would be a
cost tncrease of approximately $4,000 on a $87,000 home.
Mr. Corneltson explained that requirements for manufactured homes
are covered by a separate State Statute, however, by the end of this
year, they may be required to comply with the same ASCE-7 requirement.
CommtssLoner Constantine remarked that a recent analys~s relative
to mortgages that had been applied for tn Golden Gate for homes of
$100,000 and less Indicates that 24.7~ of the people would have failed
tn their effort to obtaLn a loan with a $1,500 addition. He cited
that & $4,000 Increase would effectively put a number of people out of
the ability to buy their own home.
Mr. Whit Ward spoke with regard to this Item.
Co,missioner Norris requested clarification relative to re-roofing
a home.
Mr. Cornel~son advised if part of a roof needed to be re-shingled,
all the shingles would have to be replaced to meet the new require-
ments. He noted ~f large sections of plywood needed replacement, all
the plywood would need to be replaced to meet the current standards.
There were no other speakers.
Commissioner Volpe moved, seconded by Co~aiseloneF NOZTla ~
carried 4/1 (Co, missioner Constantine opposed), that Ordinance 93-62

definitively describe in an amendment to the PUD Document, the commit-
ments to be made by Westinghouse relative to the amount of land to be
set aside for neighborhood park purposes and for the community park.
Hr. Nine advised that the current Development Order required the
dedication of 20 acres of land for neighborhood park purposes and 20
acres of land for com~unit¥ park purposes. He Indicated that the PUD
Document states that certain Improvements are to be made in the
neighborhood park areas, namely, provisions for a soccer/softball
field.
Nr. Nine remarked that no provisions were made in the current
Development Order for improvements to the community park. He
explained that this amendment Increases the amount of land to be allo-
cated for neighborhood purposes from 20 acres to 39 acres.
Additionally, this amendment defines a host of Improvements to the
community park.
Mr. Nine reported that the Collier County Planning Commission una-
nimously recommends adoption of the amendment.
Mr. Nine related that no communication, either for or against this
petition has been received.
Commissioner Volpe recalled that there ts a shortfall of approxi-
mately $600,000 tn the Parks and Recreation Element which would have
to be made up from General Fund monies tn order to meet the deficien-
cies. He questioned whether some type of credit could be obtained for
the improvements that are being made to reduce the deficiency.

Planner Saadeh announced that this petitioner proposes to rezone
the subject property from RSF-1 to PUD, to allow the construction of
one and two family residential dwelling units with a clubhouse and
related amenities oriented around a lake. He noted that the original
submittal reflected 33 dwelling units to be constructed on a 6.15 acre
parcel with a maximum overall density of 5.37 units per acre.
Mr. Saadeh recalled that the Collier County Planning Commission
reviewed thia petition on August 19, 1993 and by a vote of 4/3 recom-
mended denial. He remarked that four persons spoke in opposition and
one person spoke in favor of the proposed petition.
Mr. Saadeh explained that staff received one letter of opposition
from the residents on Yarberry Lane and Anthony Court.
Mr. Saadeh pointed out that the original submittal of 5.3?
dwelling units per acre was not, in staff's opinion, compatible with
the surrounding area and did not qualify for residential tnfill.
Mr. Saadeh revealed on August 30, 1993, the petitioner submitted a
new PUD document reflecting a maximum density of 3 dwelling units per
acre as opposed to the 6 dwelling units per acre, as originally sub-
mitted. He noted that Current Planning staff has reviewed the revised
PUD Document, however, the typical review process involves m number of
staff but they have not seen the new proposal.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Planner Smadeh stated that
the Planning Commission has not reviewed the new submittal.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that his office has not made a
legal review of the proposed document. Additionally, he remarked that
Page 30
September 14, 1993
this petition needs to be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
A discussion ensued as to whether further review by the Planning
Commission is required since there is a reduction in density and
whether this petition needs to be readverttsed.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
August 29, 1993, and September 5, 1993, as evidenced by Affidavit of
Publication fl/ed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald explained that
this Item is a request to vacate some drainage easements tn addition
to a large drainage lake and relocate the drainage in accordance with
approved permits from the South Florida Water Management District.
Mr. Archibald stated that the location of the property ts at the
Northeast corner of CR-95! and Davis Boulevard. Ne affirmed that the
vacation would allow the lake to be filled tn, provide a better
building plan for the vacant property and take advantage of the
drainage system that has been approved In a subsequent phase.
Mr. Archibald advised that the Transportation Division does not
object to this request, and Letters of No Objection have been received
from Project Review and the Property Owners Association. He noted
that concerns have been expressed by an adjacent property owner.
Commissioner Volpe noted that it appears that the vacation, if
approved, would create another building lot within the Tollgate PUD.
He questioned whether anyone has looked at the amount of commercial
and Industrial square footage permitted within the Tollgate DRI and
the impact that the vacation of the easement would have on overall
building requirements or limitations within the DRI.
Mr. Archibald advised that if the vacation ts approved, it would
create land that could be developed or incorporated Into any of the
adjacent four lots. With regards to changes tn the PUD from a commer-
cial useage standpoint, he reported that no changes would result from
this action on the existing PUD. He revealed if the PUD ts not being
changed, the Intensity of rights would not be changed.

Eight Partnership, owner of Parcel Two which Is located immediately to
the North of the lake parcel. He voiced his client's strong objection
to the petitioner's request to vacate the lake parcel drainage ease-
sent.
Mr. Kannensohn explained in 1989 Naples Super Eight Partnership
purchased from the developer, Parcel Two In the Tollgate PUD with the
expressed purpose of furnishing a site for the construction of a 120
room Super Eight Motel. He advised that Parcel T~o had the most
remote location from the main public access road but this negative
factor was mitigated substantially by the fact that the lake parcel
was to be dedicated to the County for drainage purposes. He Indicated
that his client was lead to believe that the parcel would have assured
visibility to the public roadway as well as substantial open space
next to that parcel.
see Cos~atsstoner Volpe left the room at this ti~a~ '''
Mr. Xannensohn stated that the requested vacation will result in a
potential windfall to the developer. He requested denial of this peti-
tion.
Attorney Ltnda Brinkman, representing Tollgate Commercial Center,
pointed out when the Super Eight Motel took title to the property,
they took title to the recorded deed restrictions. She explained that
the deed restrictions included a specific reservation on the part of
the developer Indicating that he could relocate water retention areas
and drainage easements without any Joinder from other property owners.

Transportation Engineer Kant explained that the purpose of this
Item is to repeal the Right-of-Way Ordinance. He Indicated that the
proposed ordinance Involves all work within County rights-of-way and
easements and is referred to as the County Right-of-Way Handbook. He
noted that Item #12C7 ts a companion item relative to the fee sche-
dule.
Mr. Kant reported that Transportation Services Division has been
Involved with the development of a capacity consatmption fee. He
advised that this would be a fee which would represent delays to traf-
fic, inconvenience to the general motoring public and loss of road
capacity during construction. He Indicated that based on many
discussions with staff and the County AttorneyS8 office, this fee has
been discarded, for this revision, however, it will be brought up some
time tn the future.
Hr. Kant announced that incorporated into the ordinance are the
following: elimination of the utility exemption; definitions that are
more consistent with the Land Development Code; FDOT Standards; other
State and National Standards; provisions for median landscapingl pro-
visions of the Access Nanagement Policy; revised warrants for turn
lanes; and permissible work hours to alleviate weekend complaints.
· '' Commissioner Volpe returned at this tim '''
Mr. Kant stated that the Companion Resolution for the fees include
three now categories: Jack-and-bore construction; open-cup construc-
tion; and turn-lane or median construction. He noted that these types
of construction have traditionally taken quite a blt of additional
staff review and inspection time, He noted that these categories

the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt advised that

Association relative to the construction of swimming peele and
swimming pool screens. He Indicated that the proposed ordinance is
the result of those meetings.
Mr. Brutt noted that the ordinance Includes modifications to the

Southern Building Code Congress. He explained that staff is in con-
currence with the recommendations as presented.

alarm system ts considered an optional Item. He pointed out that one
particular alarm system ts activated the minute any wave action
begins, i.e. if a child should fall into the water. He revealed
because of the severe winds in Southwest Florida, alarm ~yatem8 would
be going off day ~nd night and is therefore, an option to the indivi-
dual.

Legal not/ce having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
August 29, 1993, as er/danced by Aff/dav/t of Publtcat/on f/led with
the Clerk, public hear/ng was opened.
Comm/sstoner Saunders noted the testtnony concerning Items #12C13,
#12C14 and #12C15 w111 be heard /n conjunct/on with this item,
Planner Dav/d Weeks explained these petitions are appeals to the
determ/nat/on by the Growth Plann/ng D/rector that there ks no con-
ststent zoning d/err/ct that can be placed on the subject properties
that wcmld provide for uses that are compatible w/th the surrounding
&rea. He stressed the first step tn these applications ks to deter-
n/ne if there ks a zon/ng d/strict that to cons/stent w/th the Growth
Management Plan and if that determ/nat/on ks made, the appeal would be
dented and the property rezoned to that consistent district. If not,
he said, the appeal would be approved and the zon/ng would remaln the
same or be changed to some other /ncons/stent zon/ng dlstr/ct so long
as it would not permit a density or /ntenstty of use exceeding the
average density or /ntenstt¥ of use on surrounding properties.
In answer to Comm/ss/oner Volpe, Planner Wee~s replied it t8
Staffes posit/on that the burden ks on the property owner to
demonstrate that the conclusion art/red at by the Growth Planning
D/rector to not supported by substant/al, competent er/dance or that
the dec/a/on was made contrary to the er/dance.
Planner Weeks continued, stat/ng all ~our sub~ect properties are
/n the South Naples Plann/ng Commun/t¥. He said combined, they total
sl/ghtl¥ more than 63.5 acres of commercla! zoning and 70 acres of
multt-fam/l¥ zon/ng. He reported Staffes recommendat/on ks to deny
the appeal, having found there ts a cons/stent zoning district that
allow~ for compatible uses on the sub~ect propert/es with the
surrounding areas. He said the specific recommendation ks to rezone
the properties to a mu/ti-family dtstrtct w/th a density of 8even
~ntts per acre. He Indicated the property owners have requested that
the commercial zontng be converted to the max/mum residential density
Page 43
~eptember ~, 1993
In response to Commissioner Saunders. Planner Weeks replied that
Staff concurs with the petttloner"s request.
Answering Commissioner Norris, Planner Weeks explained the peti-
tioner has the ability through the conversion of commercial provision
to convert the commercial areas to a maximum of 16 dwelling unite per
acre, and combined with the seven units per acre for the residential
portions, the result will be approximately 11.5 to 12 units per ·cre
when spread over the entire properties.
TIps ~
In answer to Commissioner Matthews, Planner Weeks stated the peti-
tioner has revised his position and is now willing to settle for less
than originally requested.
Commissioner Norris asked if the petitioner ts willing to settle
for 10 units per acre, spread over all the properties7
After lengthy discussion pertaining to the possibility of adding
other parcels not proposed for downzontng and not Included tn this
request, Attorney Bruce Anderson indicated the petitioner will agree
to 10 units per acre and that the property involved will remain as
presented at this hearing.

Planner David Weeks noted terms of agreement have been reached by
the petitioner and Staff. He said Staff's initial recommendation was
to deny the appeal and award the property a density of seven unite per
acre because the entire parcel ts within a density band. He reported
the property owner has requested the conversion of commercial provi-
sion be utilized to achieve a slightly higher density. In this case,
he said, the request will result tn 8.9 units per acre. He com-
municated Staff has no objection, noting the end result ts the pro-
posed zoning ts consistent with the Growth Management Plan and
compatible with the surrounding area.

~~ ~ ~NATION ~R D~I~ OF ~ C~ATIBILI~
~Z~ ~~ ~ ~ C-1 ZONING DIS~
Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
August 29, 1993, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Planner Weeks commvnlcated the property owners are requesting the
existing C-2 zoning remain on the subject property, totaling 5 and
one-half acres, which ts on the north side of Radio Road, adjacent to
the Woodstde Lanes Bowling Alley. He said Staff has reached the deci-
sion that the subject property could be rezoned to a consistent zoning
district that would allow uses compatible with the surrounding area,
and is recommending the property be rezoned to a multi-family district
with a cap of seven units per acre. He acknowledged that through the
conversion of commercial provision, a higher density could be achieved
that would also be consistent with the Growth Hanagement Plan and
Staff would not object to that higher density.
Attorney Bruce Anderson, representing the petitioner, Indicated
his client ts prepared to accept C-! zoning on this property.
Responding to Commissioner Saunders, Planner Weeks stated C-1
zoning is not consistent with the Growth Management Plan. He detailed
the surrounding area, concluding that multi-family zoning at seven
unite per acre will not only be compatible, but will be consistent
with the Growth Management Plan.
Attorney Anderson noted the property owners representativea met
with Transportation Staff and offered to dedicate right-of-way for the
widening of Radio Road tn order to retain the existing zoning. He
said they were advised that no additional right-of-way is needed on
that aide of Radio Road. He reported the subject property consists of
three platted blocks zoned C-2 commercial/convenience and lies at the
convergence of arterial and collector roadways. He said the testimony
Page 49
September 14, 1993
and exhibits will show the predominant land uses in the surrounding
area are commercial in nature. He Indicated the general character of
the surrounding area within 300 feet of the subject property is com-
mercial of greater zoning intensity, C-3 and C-4 uses, than the ~ub-
Ject property. He advised that a consistent district as recommended
by Staff is not compatible with surrounding zoning and development.
He noted Staff agrees that the existing zoning is compatible with the
surrounding area. He referred to a report prepared by Mr. Richard
Armalavage that concludes the property will be left with no minimum,
beneficial, economically viable or marketable use tinder the downzontng
proposed by Staff and, therefore, the recommended downzonlng would
constitute a taking of property without Just compensation.
Attorney Anderson asked the Board to recognize Alan Reynolds and
Richard Armalavage as expert witnesses and that the exhibits contained
the pre-hearing submittal be accepted into evidence.
Commissioner Saunders acknowledged Messrs. Reynolds and Armalavage
as expert witnesses and accepted the documents Into evidence.
Co~tsstoner Volpe inquired if each individual 18,000 square foot
lot could be developed commercially under current zoning, to which
Attorney Anderson responded tn the affirmative.
Attorney Anderson asked if the existing zoning is compatible with
existing uses within 300 feet, to which Planner Weeks replied tn the
affirmative.
Attorney Anderson asked if the primary reason this property Is
being proposed for downzoning is because it does not lie within an
activity center where almost all new commercial zoning ia directed, to
which Planner Weeks responded tn tho affirmative.
Attorney Anderson asked if it is true that the Long Range Planning
Staff has doubts about how well the activity center concept has
worked, to which Planner Weeks agreed.
Attorney Anderson asked why the nearest activity center, the
Interchange activity center one-quarter mile away at 1-75, C.R. 951
and Davis Boulevard, was configured as it currently exists?
000
Page 50
September ~4, 1993
Planner Weeks Indicated it is his belief that decision was made to
insure the inclusion of existing commercial zoning boundaries in the
Interchange.
In response to Attorney Anderson, Planner Weeks agreed that if the
activity center was extended one mile to the west as was done to the
north, the subject property would be Included in the activity center.
He also admitted Collier County has not adopted a plan to amortize all
existing commercial zoning outside activity centers.
Coulostoner Saunders asked if C-1 zoning would be a fairly decent
transition to the multi-family area behind thio property, to which
Planner Weeks responded in the affirmative.

BUDGETED VACANT POSITIONS
Commissioner Constantine referred to the hiring freeze and
ouggeeted that the Board remove from the budget thoee posttione that
have been budgeted but not filled for a length of time, Ne noted 24
posit/one have been vacant for four months or more, ranging from
October, 1990, until May, 1993. He said if a department has gone that
long and operated efficiently without them, perhaps those positions
are no longer necessary.
County Manager Dorrtll communicated he ie not opposed to that
action, but suggested there may be other positions within the organi-
zation that are less important and currently filled, and asked for a
few days to evaluate the situation. For example, he said, they have
not been able to fill the Chief Plant Operator's position at the new
North County Water Treatment Plant, possibly because the salary is too
low; and there is a similar concern over the Solid Waste Director'a
position which remains vacant.
Commissioner Constantine proposed that a list be provided of the
positions that have been vacant from May 15 or prior, with ~ustifica-
tton for any exceptions to removing them from the budget.
County Manager Dorrtll agreed to provide a list of those positions
in advance of the final budget hearing on September 22.

Planner Philip Scheff explained this Is a request for a four-foot
variance in a mobile home zoning district. He reported the property
o-drier desires to add onto an existing mobile home, however, the
current front yard setback requirements result tn the need for a four-
foot variance. He advised the Planning Commission reviewed this peti-
tion on August 19 and recommended approval by unanimous vote, subject
to the stipulations In the agreement sheet.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Planner Scheff reported
Staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission was for approval.
Commissioner Sounders stated the public hearing is closed.

Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
August 29, 1993, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Planner Scheff explained this five-foot variance request ia
necessary tn order for the single-family home presently under
construction to remain as being constructed. He noted the property is
located tn Golden Gate Estates and ts comprised of approximately 2.81
acres. He reported when the required spot survey was turned in, a
setback encroachment was realized. He noted the house has been signi-
ficantly constructed. He commented the petitioner states the proposed
buyer of the house requested the natural vegetation be saved by
placing the house In a natural clearing, however, that has resulted in
the south sade of the house having a 99-foot setback while the north
side ha8 a 2S-foot setback. He advised Staff reco~u~ended denial of
this petition subject to the criteria in the zoning ordinance~
however, the Planning commission voted to approve the request by a
vote of 5/2, subject to the stipulations tn the agreement sheet. Ha
referred to a handout provided to the Board from the owners of the
parcel Immediately to the north of the subject property. He said that
parcel is presently undeveloped and they are Indicating they have no
objection to the request.
Robert Pearson, President of Suncoast Homes of S.W. Florida, Inc.,
explained he was out of the area for two weeks during which tame
construction continued. He said the moment he returned and saw that
the spot survey was due, construction was discontinued with one excep-
tion. He commented the walls were up and windows were tn. He
reported he asked for and received permission from Mr. Maguire with
the County, recognizing their own potential for penalty, to put on the
Page 55

roof and first coat of stucco to protect the home from weather con-
dittons.
Responding to Conunissioner Volpe, Nr. Pearson stated he has been
in business for five years in Collier County and has never been
involved in this type of situation.
Commissioner Saunders stated the public hearing is closed.
missioner ~atthews ~oved, seconded by Co~aiseloner maunders, to
~ NttttonV-93-16,
Commissioner Norris communicated he is reluctant to allow this
kind of variance. He sald bulldtng contractors should be aware of the
setbacks. Re asked if there is any other remedy other than requiring
the structure be torn do~n?
Planner Scheff responded the petitioner would have to remove a
significant portion of the house in order to meet the setback require-
ments.
Commissioner Volpe remarked the spot survey was instituted due to
these types of difficult situations.
Upon call for the question, the ~otton carried 4/0 {Commissioner
¢onstutin~ out), thereby adopting Resolution 93-396.
In response to Commissioner Norris, Frank Brutt stated it Is
inconceivable to him that a contractor cannot measure 30 feet and put
the building In the right place. He said this situation ts the result
of a rush to construct, and by the time they call for the first
inspection, much money has already been invested. Be communicated
contractors know that they should not start the vertical construction
until after the spot survey.
Commissioner Norris asked if there Is an opportunity to let it be
known within the construction industry that the Board of County
Commissioners will not be looking at these requests In a favorable
manner?
Mr. Brutt pointed out the amount of the fine ts not stopping the
issue. He said the after-the-fact permit fee, which Is double the
normal amount, ts currently $850.
Page 56
September 14. 1993
Co~-issioner Saunders suggested Hr. Brutt return with a proposal
to Increase the fees for an after-the-fact permit or variance. He
co~mmtcated, however, the fact of the matter is that people will con-
tinue doing this until the Board tells someone to tear down a house.
County Attorney Cu¥1er suggested another alternative ie to amend
the ordinance to state that no further construction goes forward until
the spot survey Is approved by Staff.
Mr. Pearson proposed another solution would be to require the spot
survey aa part of the slab Inspection.
Co~misstoner Saunders asked Mr. Brutt to consider that suggestion
and come back with some alternatives to the present requirements.

Planner Sam Saadeh reported the petitioner is requesting a one-
year extension for conditional uses 19 and 20 of the 'A' zoning
district to allow the construction of eight cabins, one counselor's
residence and an owner's residence on property adjacent to the
existing Naples Progressive Gymnastics Facility. He said the proposed
cabins would house a maximum of 10 campers each and will be equipped
with only toilets and sinks. He concluded with Staff's recommendation
that the Board approve the extension of CU-92-2, subject to all Staff
stipulations listed in the Agreement Sheet.
Coamiesloner Saundera recalled the Board went through a very
ttoner Is experiencing problems?
Craig Smith, representing Naples Progressive Gymnastics, explained
his concern8 with one of the stipulations of the original approval
concerning tying in to the County's sewer system.
County Attorney Cuyler reported the Board can only extend the con-
dttional use at this time. Hs said no changes can be made because
this Item has not been advertised.
County Manager Dorrtll pointed out there 18 a substantial amount
of conunerctal and residential activity now on the south side of Pine
Ridge Road, and Staff can evaluate whether the stipulation ts still
valid.
