APPOINTMENT OF THE COUNTY'S EXTERNAL AUDITORS TO PKT~FO~M FINANCIAL
AUDIT~ OF TH~ SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE CONTRACTORS - COOPERS &
LYBRAND APPOINTED TO PERFORM REVENUE AUDIT AND REVIEW OF ALLOCATION
METHODOLOGY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $25,000
Finance Director Yonkosky recalled subsequent to the Board
creatinu the mandatory trash collection ordinance, two contracts were
signed which require a full audit of the operations of each of those
franchisees for the past year. He said when the Board approved the
contract with the external auditors, he was appointed as the project
coordinator between the auditors. He reported having sent the audi-
tors a letter requesting them to review the facts and provide the
Board with an estimate of what the cost of a full audit will be. He
said they have replied with a recommendation to do only a revenue
audit rather than a full audit, however, after consultation between
the Board's Staff and the Finance Department, it is being recommended
to have the full audit, because it will provide a tremendous amount of
'information at the end of the first three-year period when the rates
can be increased. He advised one unsolicited qualificat~on statement
was received from another external CPA firm that currently audits
Waste Management, because they felt they could provide a completely
independent audit. After discussion with Staff, he said, it is being
recommended not to solicit proposals for audits and to use the
existing contract for external auditors.
In answer to Commissioner Goodnight, Finance Director Yonkosky
explained the contracts between the Board, Waste Management and
Immokalee D~sposal not only agree to allow the Board to do a full
audit, but require one on all theft business activities within the
County.
Responding to Commissioner Shanahan, Finance Director Yonkosky
stated the cost of a full audit is $43,000, and $14,000 for a revenue
only audit. He reminded the Board that the choice was made for a full
audit when the contract was entered into.
Clerk Giles communicated that although the full audit is more
Page 5
January 7, 1992
expensive, in the future when being faced with a rate increase the
Board will want the full picture. He agreed the franchisees have
revenue sources that are not subject to the County's agreement,
however, many of those expenses cannot be separated from the County's
fee. He said that will be a consideration when a decision is made on
how much of a rate increase to allow Waste Management.
Commissioner Shanahan asked what would happen if a revenue only
audit was done in the first and second years, with a full audit in
the third year?
Finance Director Yonkosky said the County could possibly save
money on the audits, but would not have the data base that was con-
templated.
Comm~ssioner Saunders communicated he gives a great deal of weight
to Finance Director Yonkosky's recommendation that a full audit would
be the most appropriate and prudent course of action.
Commissioner Volpe inquired why Coopers & Lybrand is being recom-
mended to perform the audit, rather than doing professional nego-
tiations?
Finance Director Yonkosky explained the Board has the option of
dealing directly with Coopers & Lybrand or solicit~ng other qualifica-
tion statements. He advised, however, the bidding process w~11
require approximately 3-4 months before the actual audit can be per-
formed.
Commissioner Volpe suggested the Board consider exploring the com-
petitive b~d process for the opportunity to reduce the cost.
George Keller asked when will Waste Management be able to ask for
an increase?
Finance Director Yonkosky replied there is an automatic increase
at the end of three years, however, the contract is silent regarding a
request at any time for a rate increase.
George Keller suggested the Board provide that Waste Management
have a full audit, before they are allowed a rate increase, for the
three year period. He commented it will be much less expensive for
Page 6
January ?, 1992
one three-year audit rather than a full audit for each of the three
years.
Finance Director Yonkosky disagreed, stating in his opinion it
will be much more efficient to conduct an annual audit.
Commissioner Shanahan asked why the auditors have recommended a
partial audit?
Phyllis Jones with Coopers & Lybrand, clarified that rather than a
recommendation for a partial audit, her firm provided the Board with
two options. She said they knew doing a full audit of both Waste
Management and Immokalee Disposal would be fairly expensive, and that
the only numbers the Board was legally interested An were the revenue
numbers. She stated her agreement with Finance Director Yonkoeky that
if there will be rate increases over the next few years, having a full
audit will provide much more information. With regard to exploring
the competitive bid process, she advised that was done 18 months ago
at which time Coopers & Lybrand was ranked the top firm and a contract
was negotiated in order to keep the County from continually going
through that process.
Bob Fahey, Solid Waste Director, recommended the full audit
because this is a new contract and the more information available to
Staff, the better able they will be to respond to future demands from
the franchisees.
County Manager Dorrill disagreed with the recommendation for a
full audit. He asked if it would be possible to do a revenue audit on
the garbage side of the business and do a subsequent audit on the
allocation methodology for the franchisees' other businesses?
Finance Director Yonkosky reiterated that from experience, he is
recommending a full audit. He explained although an additional
$29,000 will be spent each year, if that keeps the County from a 1~
increase, it will save the rate payers a tremendous amount of money.
He said the only way to know that is to have a full and complete audit
by an independent CPA. If a partial audit is done, he said, the Board
will not have independent verification of the costs and will be at the
Page ?
January 7, 1992
~,~,:~
· mercy of whoever is saying they have the right costs. He added that
in his opinion, doing an audit at the end of three years rather than
on an annual basis, will cost more.
Clerk Giles remarked that allocation scheme is one of their pri-
mary concerns and that, along with the revenue to show compliance that
they are paying the correct franchise fee to the County, would make
County Manager Dorrill's suggestion a good compromise.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Jones said that may be
possible. She said putting together an actual audit report might be
dlfftcult for the allocation, however, a review could be done to give
the County comfort that the numbers are reasonable.
Contsmloner Shanahan moved, seconded by Contssloner Saunders
and carried unanimously, to appoint Coopers & Lybrand to perfor~ a
revenue audit along with a revte~ of the allocation methodology In an
a~unt not to exceed $25,000.

GEORGE FEGA P~QUESTINa APPEAL FOR EXEMPTION APPLICATION RE: WIGGINS
PASS LANDINGS, UNIT I - NO ACTION
County Attorney Cuyler advised this item is listed as a Public
Petition because there ts no appeal provision in the Ordinance. He
said Mr. Vega's original question asked if he must go to the Board to
exhaust his administrative remedies in order to go to Court. He
reported Mr. Vega was advised that under the Ordinance he is able to
go directly to Court. On the other hand, he said, the question arises
whether the Board of County Commissioners has the authority to grant
relief when there is no appeal provision. He communicated his concern
if the Board grants relief on a public petition with no appeal provi-
sion or criteria set out in the Ordinance, that may be subject to
challenge by a third party.
Commissioner Volpe questioned why an appeal process was not
created for exemptions while one exists for compatibility exceptions?
Bob Blanchard, Growth Planning Director, explained that during the
Board's discussion of the Zoning Reevaluation Ordinance (ZRO), it was
Page 8
January 7, 1992
recognized that exemptions were considered up-front exemptions to the
Ordinance. He said technically speaking, that provided an exemption
from the appli.ation of the ZRO, therefore, the Growth Planning
Director's findings and decision were felt to be adequate, because
there was still the opportunity to apply for compatibility exceptions
and/or vested rights applications.
Attorney George Vega commented this public petition may serve as
the appeal, because the Board is granting him due process by allowing
this hearing in a public petition form.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney Cuyler indi-
cated he would not feel comfortable advising the Board to take any
action.
Commissioner Volpe mentioned an alternative is that the Board con-
sider amending the Ordinance to allow for an appeal to the Board when
it relates to an exemption as has been done for a compatibility excep-
tion.
Frank Brutt, Community Development Services Administrator,
reported Staff has received approximately 300 requests relative to
similar situations. Of that number, he said there are only 13
requests that have not been decided upon by Staff, which indicates the
system is working.
Attorney Vega commented this is not a clear cut situation because
there is a question whether or not dedication was made many years ago.
Commissioner Volpe suggested that Staff give consideration to
looking at whether it may be appropriate to amend the Ordinance to
address these requests.
Commissioner Saunders agreed to that suggestion. He said that may
or may not in the long run assist Mr. Vega and his client, however,
there Is nothing else the Board can do at this point.
There was no action taken on this item.

Attorney George Vega stated although there is an appeal mechanism
to deal with compatibility exceptions, the process may be very

ii.;:,, lengthy, lie said his client has a very substantial mortgage due on
the subject property, however, the actions of the ZR0 have been so
. '
-~'~-.'',~. dramatic that it would not be worth his client even making a partial
payment to the bank. He remarked they are desperate to receive a
decision from the County on the question of compatibility exception.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Attorney Vega indicated he
is asking that a hearing date be scheduled.
Mr. Brutt indicated based on advertising and other requirements,
Staff recommends February llth be scheduled for this public hearing.
Co~tesloner Smunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahmn and
carried unanimously, that February 11, 1991, be set as the public
hemrtng date.
Mr. Brutt advised Staff has approximately 40 of these types of
appeals to present to the Board. lie asked for guidance regarding the
scheduling of those hearings, whether to have a few placed on each
Tuesday's agenda or set up a special day to hear as many as can be
accomplished, lie said Staff is recommending a separate day be sche-
duled to go through these petitions.
A discussion ensued regarding alternatives for hearing the
appeals. It was the consensus that Staff return with a recommendation
for a day other than a Regular Board of County Conunisstoners Meeting
to hear the compatibility exception appeals.

REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR RENOVATIONS AND ALTERATIONS OF THE FORMER
A(~RIG~;LTU~AL EXTENSION SERVICE BUILDINQ IN IMMOKALEE FOR DEVELOPM~NT
SERVICES DEPARTMENT - STAFF TO ~R0VIDE ASSESSMENT OF NEEDED SPACE
WITHIN SO-SO DAYS
Commissioner Goodnight pointed out that Page 4 of the Executive
Summary states: "Assuming existing septic tank is O.K. (New septic
tank system would run $4,000)" She stated that she believes that the
facility is serviced by water/sewer.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt explained that
the $4,000 is not included in the figures for the renovations, but was
referenced as an "if it needed to be dealt with situation".
Commissioner Saunders remarked that Development Services is paying
rent in the amount of $8,400 per year, and the cost of renovations is
$65,000. He indicated that there would probably be ten years of rent
before there would be any economic savings by renovating the space and
therefore, this may not be the most economic alternative in this
situation.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Brutt explained that the
building was reviewed by Facilities Management and comments were made
that when a building of this age and part of the County inventory
becomes vacant it is looked at to determine what needs to be done to
bring it to a condition to be utilized by anyone. He noted staff
believes that this facility could be brought up to modern day stan-
dards since very little interior remodeling would be required.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Brutt related that the
building that is currently being utilized is adequate with respect to
location, space, etc., however, this is a month to month lease. He
stated that he believes the landlord would be amenable to a longer
lease.
County Manager Dorrill reported that the former Agriculture
building is empty, noting that generally it makes more sense to own an
asset than pay rent. He indicated that a new roof would be required
if the building is to be serviceable. He explained that in addition
Page 12
.~,~-' ' January ?, 1992
:il. to the possible use of the building by Development Services, the
Sheriff needs additional space in Immokalee and the rationale, exclu-
sive of the roof repair is that the payback would be less than ? years
in terms of recouping the County's investment.
Commissioner Saunders suggested that this issue be delayed in'
order for staff to evaluate the Sheriff's needs in addition to what
should be done with the 30 year old building.
Commissioner Goodnight remarked that more than lO0 building per-
mits were issued in Immokalee last year and there were sufficient
impact fees collected to build two roads. She stated that she feels
that the building should be renovated to house the employees working
in Immokalee.
Co~ssioner S&nnders moved, seconded by Conissioner Hesse and
carried nnmni~ousl¥, that staff be directed to evaluate the overall
·pace needs of Collier County employees in the I~mokalee area --nd come
back with reco~umendatione in 30-60 days.
Item
INTERLO~AL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF NAPLES TO PERFORM CONTRACTOR
LICENSING ISSUANCE AND LICENSED/UNLICENSED CONTRACTOR COMPLAINT AND
CASE MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION AS ITS AGENT - APPROVED
SUBJECT TO CHANSES
Code Enforcement Supervisor Clark advised that on July 31, 1991, a
Joint meeting was held between the County and the City of Naples. He
related that at meeting it was conceptually concurred that it would be
advisable to consolidate and coordinate the contractor licensing needs
of the city with the county. He indicated that the City presented an
interlocal agreement but because of the licensing necessity, the
licensing occurs simultaneously during the same time frame in
September as that of the County.
Mr. Clark reported that the County has done the licensing for the
city, however, the interlocal agreement provides for participation
from the County with respect to investigations of unlicensed contrac-
tors and unscrupulous contractors who do not respect the city limit
boundaries. He explained that prior to the agreement, the County was
Page 13
January 7, 1992
prohibited from pursuing people who were fraudulently taking advantage
of the residents within the city. He noted that the city has agreed
to fund the manpower and efforts of the county from the $59,000 in
revenues collected from the licensing of city contractors. He stated
that the County's cost to furnish a full time investigator would be
approximately $50,000.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Clark explained that the
rationale of the $50,000 as referenced in Section III of the Agreement
is that that amount of cost can be documented, however, there is
language which allows for flexibility and that figure is negotiable.
Mr. Clark stated that 95% of the problems relate to out-of-county
contractors. He noted if the State would increase their efforts the
County could become more effective.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the County could fulfil/ its
obligation under the agreement without any additional staff. Mr.
Clark reported that this would be impossible since his department is
stretched very thin.
Commissioner Volpe remarked that the County is subject to a hiring
freeze and questioned how to deal with these exceptions.
County Manager Dorrill advised that the Commission could approve
the agreement, since each Monday morning he reviews the status of the
hiring freeze, and as long as vacancies do not dip below 60 at any
time, he has the ability to fill positions. He indicated that he
feels this position could be filled since the source of revenue to pay
for same is coming from the city.
Commissioner Volpe cited that the arrangement is a real benefit to
the city not to have any responsibility and if there is a shortfall,
the County would need to go back and renegottate with them to cover
the County's expenses; however, if there is a profit, the city keeps
the profit.
Mr. Clark explained that the city has retained clerical staff,
noting they are required to keep their records for the issuing of per-
000 24
Page 14
January 7, 1992
mits, etc. and they need to interface with the County.
Commissioner Saunders pointed out that the Agreement states: "The
County shall retain to a maximum of eighty-five (85) percent of the
up
funds from these revenues, not to exceed $50,000..."
Mr. Clark replied that the protection is the County already has
the $50,000 this year and the negotiations would apply to next year.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that additional personnel will be
needed to perform these services but it appears that there are no
safeguards in the agreement that in the event of a shortfall that the
County would not have to absorb same. He stated that the City should
cover the County's expenses whether or not there is a shortfall.
County Attorney Cuyler revealed that the Commission may sign the
agreement, as presented, or make changes as appropriate, and then for-
ward back to the city to be re-approved.
Commissioner Volpe remarked that an exception could be made for
this fiscal year but the language should be amended to provide that
~or future years there would be a minimum fee of 8§% or $50,000 paid
to the County.

Compliance Services Manager Boyce stated that this item relates to
the Nuisance Abatement Ordinance dealing with the removal of exotics.
He indicated that this program is running very well.
Mr. Boyce affirmed that $85,000 was budgeted for lot clearing,
debris removal and the removal of exotics, however, this figure was
reduced to $50,000 during the budgeting process.
Mr. Boyce requested approval of a budget amendment in the amount
of $100,000 with the understanding that for every dollar that is
spent, more than one dollar in revenue will be spent.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Boyce explained that
approximately 100 liens per year are placed on properties.

Assistant Utilities Administrator Bloetscher stated that this item
is a request to set up the selection of consultants for the 1992 capi-
tal projects.
Mr. Bloetscher advised that according to the purchasing policy, if
the fees exceed $100,000, authorization must be obtained by the
Commission for staff to approve the selection of the consultants. In
addition, there is the issue with respect to the Board selecting and
ranking the consultants, however, in the past, Section 8B3 of the
purchasing policy has been waived in this regard.
Coulestoner Shanahan moved, seconded by Co~mlesloner Hesse and
carried unanimously, that staff be authorized to Institute the RFP
process, evalnate the responses and bring the top ranked firm back to
the Board.
ADDITION OF ON~ UTILITY BILLING CLERK I/II POSITION IN UTILITIES
FINAN~ DKPARTME~T - AFFROVED
Assistant Utilities Administrator Bloetscher requested approval
for one additional billing clerk in the Utilities Finance Department.
He reported that attempts are being made to set up 7,000 new accounts
that exist in the East and South Naples project in addition to the
sent to these customers.
Mr. Bloetscher stated that the Utilities Department ts currently
undergoing the transition from its current computer system to the
Clerk's system. He Indicated that this computer prepares the impact
fee statements for the new deve.~oyment comtn~ on line and the billing
for the customers of the Pelican B~y system will be undertaken.
Mr. Bloetscher reported that a temporary person, from Community
Development, has been utilized and there ts a temporary person from an
outside agency, however a lot of overtime has taken place. He

requested approval of a new permanent position in lieu of the two tem-
poraries.
County Manager Dorrill explained that this will not be a net addi-
tion to the payroll. He affirmed that there are currently 18 utility
positions that are part of the hiring freeze and a number of those are
clerical positions. He stated that he would like to see one of these
positions moved from another area into this department since it As
unable to accomplish its mission due to number of tasks they have been
assigned because of the East and South County project.

ACCEPTED WIT~IOUT COMMITMENTS; MANAGER TO EVALUATE PROPOSAL BY CITY
Office of Capital Projects Management Director Conrecode stated
that the Renourishment/Maintenance Committee wtll be d~scussing sche-
duling and funding alternatives as proposed for beach renourishment
activities.
Mr. Ron Pennington, Chairman, Beach Renourishment Committee, pre-
sented a slide presentation, depicting the status Collier County's
beaches and why renourishment is required.
Concluding the presentation, Mr. Penntngton remarked that the
program is at the point of gathering the data required for design
plans and permit applications, noting that a delay in getting started
in the near term may negate some of the work that has been completed.
Mr. Pennington revealed that the total project cost is $15 million
and the upfront costs of approximately $1.5 million are those things
required by the state for permitting.
Mr. Pennington advised that consideration has been given to
various funding sources. He indicated that federal funding would take
Page
January 7, 1992
a minimum of seven years to get through the process.
He stated that
there are pros and cons with respect to ad valorem taxes. He reported
that special taxing districts have been considered and that tax would
be based on proximity to the beach. He divulged that user fees have
some advantage since they would be imposed on those who benefit. He
noted that a tourist development tax would result in a minimal cost to
the local residents and high probability of voter approval, however, a
disadvantage would be the competition for funds with other beach and
pass related items. He remarked that a sales surtax of 1/2% or 1~
would be paid by everyone making sales taxable purchases in Collier
County and this would be limited to a specified amount, duration and
precise purpose.
Mr. Pennington stated that the Committee's recommended actions
result from consideration of the maximum return to the taxpayers at
least cost. He noted that this is achieved by a combination of
tourist development tax f%lnds and a short term, minimum amount sales
tax. He remarked that a 1/2¢ sales surtax for one year would yield
$11 million and only 47% of that amount would come from local indivi-
duals.
Mr. Pennington suggested that a revised tourist development tax
· proposal be submitted to referendum by mail ballot in May, 1992. He
stated that the sales surtax should go before the electorate in
November.
Mr. Penntngton pointed out that the Naples City Council endorses
the Committee's recommendation for adoption of: the Collier County
Beach Restoration project as the City of Naples and Collier County
Comprehensive Beach Renourlshment Plan; project schedule; and the
funding recommendations as presented.
Mr. Pennington requested that the Commission endorse the
Committee's recommendation and adopt same as Collier County's plan of
action to accomplish the restoration of the beaches.
Mr. Frank Blanchard stated that it has been amply proven that the
existence of the beaches in Collier County positively influence the
Page 19
January ?, 1992
businesses and property values throughout the County. He cited that
the principal problem is where the money would come from to satisfy
the current needs. He announced that the Commission must take action
to have the City of Naples help to get their beaches renourished. Re
recommended that the plan be accomplished by funding via a sales tax
for a limited period of time.
Ta~ ,S
Mr. George Keller remarked that he does not believe that placing
the additional sales tax on the ballot would be approved by the
voters. He related that the only way to obtain money for beach
renourishment is through a tourist tax.
Mr. John Cremer suggested that the funds for beach renourtshment
be obtained from those who will directly benefit. In addition, he
suggested that the tourist development tax be voted on again to
restore the $5 million back to the County.
Commissioner Shanahan remarked that the tourist development
dilemma may be settled in January or February and there is very strong
' thought that this issue will be resolved in the County's favor.
Commissioner Hasse stated that he is not prepared to additionally
tax the people of Collier County for any additional programs.
Commissioner Goodntght related that at this time she does not feel
the Commission should say that beach renourishment would be
accomplished by the 1¢ sales tax, however, this may be possible later
in the year. She stated that the outcome of the tourist development
tax must be determined before making any recommendations.

January ?, 1992
Emergency Services Administrator Reardon explained the report
before the Board of County Com~issioners represents an overview. He
stated that when the issue was raised, Finance Director Yonkosky con-
ducted his own individual audit and found nothing of concern, and in
FY 1990-91, the 1990 records were reviewed 100~ by the State Auditor's
Office with no discrepancies being found. He distributed a one page
sheet providing a basis of information, and summarized that a 40 hour
employee basically has about thirty 8 hour days off per year sche-
duled, while a 54 hour employee has twelve 24 hour shifts or, if
equated to 8 hour shifts, thirty-slx 8 hour shifts off. Regarding the
annual scheduled hours for the two, he indicated it equates to: The
40 hour employee works 2,080 hours, while a 54 hour employee works
2,808 hours per year; deducting the scheduled time off afforded to
those employees, the productive time for a 40 hour employee is 1,840
hours a year, while the 24, 48 or 64 hour employee works 2,539 hours
per year, or, basically 37~ more than a 40 hour employee; and that the
time off is about 11.5% of the 40 hour employee's time, while the 54
hour employee equates to about 9.6~; that, based on 8 hour increments,
the 40 hour employee provides productive services of 230 days per
year, while a 54 hour employee provides 317 days per year. He pro-
vided a brief history of this item and how the issue was originally
raised. He concluded that the unaccountable time for the three 24/48
hour supervisors was about 2.8% of the total hours taken off. He
explained the relevance of Kelly Days as well as compensatory time,
and reported that the policy from the Board of County Commissioners
regarding compensatory time and the documentation thereof as well as
internal policy was not completely followed because the employees were
unaware of the policy. He verified having since briefed appropriate
employees of the policy. He reiterated that records had been kept,
but not tn accordance with Board policy. He related that, due to poor
record keeping, two of the supervisors ran into a negative balance
but, when grouped together, the Board of County Commissioners is ahead
by about 40 hours. He explained that management initiatives have been
Page 21
January 7, ~992
implemented which have resulted in a savings of approximately $24§,000
from this year's budget.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Reardon related the EMS
budget line item for overtime cost is $52,300 this year, but was
$268,000 three years ago.
Commissioner Shanahan commented the results of the report are
beneficial and identified there was sloppy bookkeeping involved with
lax controls, but that corrective measures have been taken.
Co~m/meloner ~o~)dntght returned to the meeting at 1:30 P.M.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Tom Olliff, Assistant to the
County Manager, summarized that the initial report was a draft to Mr.
Reardon which somehow got circulated as a final report and, unfor-
tunately, had been poorly prepared. He confirmed the final report
produced by Mr. Reardon is a well documented piece of work and indica-
tes that of al/ the EMS employees there was a bookkeeping problem with
only three supervisory employees. He verified that the County
Manager's Office is satisfied the deficiencies have been identified
and corrected, adding that Mr. Reardon's own internal division poli-
cies for compensatory time and time records are stricter than for the
rest of the County.
Co~iemioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Co~-issioner Hasee and
carried ux~animously, to accept the report recognizing that corrective
actton~ ~ been put in place to prohibit this situation from being
repeated in the ~uture.

Reginald Boucher, Senior Engineer with the Solid Waste Management
Department, expounded that his department seeks to enter into a five
year contract to reclaim and recycle at least 60~ of the
construction/demolition debris received at the County's landfills in
order to comply with Florida Statutes and Administrative Codes
Page 22
January 7, 1992
'.'i,. requiring the disposal of this material in segregated areas other than
!ii: the line cell after August 1, 1990, to comply with the State's man-
'~; dated 30% recycling goal by the end of 1994, and to preserve line
landfill space and expand the life of the line cell areas. He related
::t that the prebtd conference held on October 24th was attended by repre-
" sentattves of eleven companies, and resulted in an addenda being
.~!. issued addressing sixteen issues identified at the meeting. He
related that a total of three protest letters have been received. He
stated a total of three bids were received, one of which did not pro-
vide a bid security and another declared unresponsive, resulting in
Waste Magic Recyclers, Inc. being the only completely responsive
i bidder. He explained the fiscal impact will amount to a $2.00 per ton
increase at the gate, and that the constant bid for the five year
period will be $27.00 per ton. He relayed staff's recommendation that
Waste Magic Recyclers, Inc. be awarded this contract.
Commissioner Goodnight commented she has a problem with the manner
in which the RFP (request for proposal) was done and with the fact
that five years is being requested. She stated this should only be a
!' one year contract.
In response to Assistant County Attorney Wetgel, Mr. Boucher
verified that the proposed contract may be terminated for default but
for no other reason.
ii<' Commissioner Shanahan expressed concern about the five year time
.. frame, the increased tipping fees, the fact that so few bids were
received, and the possibility of eliminating a considerable number of
Jobs for Collier County.
Purchasing Director Carnell explained the five year time frame was
established partly due to the fact the County could not ~uarantee ton-
nages. He proceeded ~o discuss some of the parameters of the
· i~ contract.
"' In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr Boucher confirmed the
/,.-, current contractor is recycling 50% of the construction/demolition
':: material for which the County is paying $22 per ton.
Page 23
January ?, 1992
In reply to Commissioner Saunders, Solid Waste Management Director
Fahey acknowledged there have been problems with the present service
provider, but nothing which has not been overcome; that they have been
cooperative; and that there is sufficient Justification for going from
the present rate of $22 per ton to $27 per ton. He explained that the
County is presently charging $25 per ton and paying the contractor $22
per ton with an additional $3 per ton paid for moving unrecyclable
material to the fill. He concluded, however, that a contract for a
five year period will solve more problems than it will create.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Fahey verified no con-
sideration has been given to the possibility of the County purchasing
its own equipment
John W. Maxwell with Waste Magic Recyclers, Inc. reasoned that the
lack of response to the bid invitation is probably due to the fact
there are not many in the State of Florida presently recycling. He
expounded that his company has been involved in a waste stream for
five years and with recycling for three years. He summarized the
system proposed by his company and upon which their bid was based.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether Mr. Maxwell would be
agreeable to the addition of language regarding termination for con-
venience, and he related that he could not agree to such language
without consulting his partner.
Bruce Anderson, representing Naples Recycling Resources, Inc.,
summarized the actions of his client in proffering a bid and filing
written objections to the specifications prior to the bid opening. He
agreed that the five year period is too long, and reported the inabi-
lity of his client to get a bond was due to the five year time frame
at a fixed price with no guarantee of tonnage and no explicit provi-
sion for changes in the contract based on changes in regulatory
requirements. He pointed out that on October 29, 1991, Mr. Fahey
reported to the Board of County Commissioners that the present
contract, his client, has been very successful and is recycling
January ?, 1992
~!.. approximately 6096 of the required material. He distributed a handout
~'ii'.' reporting tonnages by Naples Recycling Resources, Inc. for the months
?:~' of September, October and November. He %:erlfted that his client is
wi/ling to guarantee a recycling rate of 7596 and continue for another
... year under the present contract as it exists today.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Assistant County Attorney
~'.' Weigel related that typically the service contract entered into by the
~'i County provides for an extension within it which can be administrati-
'~: rely effectuated.
.i' Assistant County Attorney Manalich interjected that he has been
?' . informed there has been a previous extension under the policy. He
:: suggested the safest course for the Board of County Commissioners
~ would be to reject all bids and rebid the entire matter for a new
' contract, without precluding anything in the interim to insure con-
tinuity of service.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Carnell explained the put-
/. pose of the performance bond. He pointed out that Waste Magic
~- - Recyclers, Inc. has given the certainty the county has asked for.
Commissioner Shanahan concurred there are some benefits to renego-
., tiating or maintaining the current contract while reevaluating the
~" specifications for the bid.
':.. Mr. Boucher interjected that should staff solicit a rebtd they may
not get the same price as currently tendered by Waste Magic
Recyclers, Inc.; that, unless otherwise specifically directed by the
Board of County Commissioners, staff will continue to have the bond
requirement in the rebtd: and that there is nothing to be gained by a
rebid.
Commissioner Saunders questioned whether Mr. Maxwell would con-
eider a provision whereby Waste Magic Recyclers, Inc. would bear the
risk of a regulatory change, to which Mr. Maxwell requested time to
consider such a proposal.
Mr. Maxwell requested the Board of County Commissioners reduce to
writing the conditions they are proposing for his consideration.

WITHIN THK COUNTY APPROVE AN AD VALOREM TAX LEVY NOT TO EXCEED
ONE-i~IART~R (1/4) MILL BY THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES COUNCIL TO FUND
SERVICE~ FOR CHILDREN OF COLLIER COUNTY - ADOPTED
Assistant County Attorney Wilson explained this item again brings
back the Resolution to place the Children's Services Council referen-
dum question on the March 10th ballot. She reminded the Board of
County Commissioners of their December 17th vote to include this
referendum on that ballot. She advised that the proposed Resolution
includes the ballot language approved by the Children's Services
Council and which, at their suggestion, has changed slightly.
In response to Commissioner Hesse, Assistant County Attorney
Wilson confirmed staff feels it important for the Children's Services
Council, since they are an independent body, to review the actual
Resolution and voice their opinion of same. She confirmed Paul
Ptnson, Executive Director of the Children's Services Council, has had
an attorney review the language of the Resolution on behalf of his
organization, and that they are satisfied with the language as it
stands to go to referendum. She s~ated she pointed out to Mr. Plnson
that, as an independent body, it is ultimately their responsibility
should there be any challenges to the particular language Included on
the ballot at the March lOth election.
Commissioner Volpe interjected he has taken the liberty of
drafting an alternative ballot question which capsultzes what is being
attempted.
County Attorney Cuyler stated his office also could have drafted
alternative language but did not do so, and instead made the
Children's Services Council Chairman, who in turn notified his attor-
ney. aware that they are responsible for the language appearing on the
Page 26
January 7, ~992
ballot.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson read both the language voted on
by the Children's Services Council and contained in the proposed
Resolution as well as that proposed by Commissioner Volpe.
Commissioner Shanahan recommended accepting the language as pro-
posed by the Children's Services Council. Me stated there is already
enough controversy about it appearing on the ballot, and he prefers
the entire fate be in the hands of the Children's Services Council.
Commissioner Saunders concurred with Commissioner Shanahan, adding
that the language prepared by Commissioner Volpe is devoid of any
description of what the funds will be used for.
George F. Keller, President of Collier County Civic Fed'station,
suggested using the wording proposed by the Children's Services
Council.
Commissioner Volpe announced ob3ection to the idea that the
Children's Services CDuncil should have the ultimate say as to the
manner in which this question is presented to the electorate.
Commiss~oner Saunders reported receipt of telephone calls from Mr.
Pinson requesting that the ballot language be kept as proposed by the
Children's Services Council.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether Assistant County Attorney
Wilson has any problem with the proposed language being different from
the language contained in the Ordinance itself, to which she answered
she does not.
Commissioner Volpe suggested the language of the notice of the
referendum election should be changed as that is the notice which will
be presented to the electorate, and Assistant County Attorney Wilson
replied staff would be happy to make that ad3ustment in the
Resolution.
Assistant County Attorney Wi/son stated that the language con-
rained in the Executive Summary presented by staff today is the same
language that has been approved by the Children's Services Council.
Commissioner Shanahan interjected that it will be advertised as
January ?, 1992
such prior to the referendum, to which Assistant County Attorney
Wilson answered in the affirmative.

Edward Morton, representing Naples Community Hospital, suggested
changing paragraph (B) of the Resolution to read, "the purchase of
land and an existing three (3) story office building located at 851
5th Avenue North, Naples, Florida", and inserting a new paragraph
which reads, "for the construction of approximately 27,000 sq,/are foot
of office building to be located in the unincorporated area of Collier
County at 3737 Domestic Avenue, Naples, Florida", and change the
existing paragraph (C) to paragraph (D).
County Attorney Cuyler pointed out that page 2 should include a
new paragraph identified as paragraph 6 which should read, "This
Resolution shall ~n no manner obligate the County to provide any
public services or facilities for the project except as otherwise
required by law."
Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Co-liSstoner Shmnahan and

chan~, thereby adopting Resolution 92-5.

Commissioners Saunders and Shanahan requested changing Paragraph 2
of the Resolution to read, "It is Collier County's position that such
"sunsettlng" would be the wrong approach and would eliminate or reduce
the ability of local governments to work collectively on areawide

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
December 17, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition PUD-91-13,
filed by Rick Hedlund of Team Plan, Inc., representing Naples
Associates Limited Partnership, requesting an amendment to the Pine
Air Lakes PUD to confirm and otherwise rezone 1.14 acres of land from
A-2 and A-2ST to PUD as part of the said Pine Air Lakes PUD for pro-
perty located in Section 11, Township 49 South, Range 25 East.
Planner Nlno explained Petttlon PUD-91-13 is a proposition to
clarify and officially acknowledge the inclusion of 1.14 acres of
land in the middle of the Pine Air Lakes PUD as part and parcel of
said PUD. He advised the CCPC, at their December 7th meeting, unani-
mously recommended approval. If approved, he said, the Pfne Air Lakes
original PUD Document and Development Order will become part of the
regulations that apply to this 1.14 acres. He added one-half of the
1.14 acre~3 is under a preserve area on the Pine Air Lakes Master Plan
while the other half will merely facilitate vehicular access movement
space.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Planner Nino stated when the Pine
Air Lakes PUD was first rezoned in 1984, the 1.14 acre parcel was
Included, however, did not belong to the petitioners of Pine
Lakes. He said the question becomes, was due notice part and parcel
of that action and was it really necessary to make that action legal?
He noted the current owners of the land want to eliminate that ambi-
guity, therefore, Intend to purchase the land and are requesting the
Board officially declare it as part of the Pine Air Lakes PUD.
Attorney George Varnadoe, representing the petitioner, said the
owners of the 1.14 acre tract are under contract to sell the land to
Page 35
January 7, 1992
the Pine Air Lakes owners contingent upon this rezoning. He com-
municated they have also filed their consent and ratification of the
previous rezoning. He indicated he is simply asking the Board to con-
firm the zoning as PUD and part of the Pine Air Lakes DRI. He men-
tioned the Department of Community Affairs has notified the petitioner
that acquisition of the subject parcel corrects any inconsistencies in
the Development Order.
Oo~ieelonar aaaee moved, seconded by Comiss~oner Shan~hmn and
carried ~antmousl¥, to close the public hearing.

of this Ordinance is in fact amending Ordinance 91-102 and not

Planner Milk presented Petition CU-91-7, requesting a Conditional
Use pursuant to Subsection 2 of Section 2.6.9 (Essential Services) of
the "A" Zoning District for a communication tower. He said the peti-
tioner proposes to build a 185-foot self-supportlng telecommunications
tower, a 26-foot by 12-foot electronic equipment room, an outside slab
mounted generator and a driveway access from Wiggins Pass Road. Me
reported the subject site is 4.5 acres in size, zoned Agricultural and
basically surrounded by undeveloped land. He said the land to the
south is zoned industrial and is owned by Krehltng Industrial
Properties. He commented further south is the Imperial Golf Estates
golf course and an enclave of residential villas, while ad3acent tO
the east is the 78-acre Imperial Lakes PUD approved for 430 multi-
family dwelling units. He said the property to the north is agri-
cultural and is divided into five-acre tracts. He stated a 120-foot
railroad easement exists to the west of the subject property with rail
access to the Krehling plant, which is used on a daily basis. He
indicated the adjacent property to the west of the right-of-way is
currently undeveloped and zoned agricultural. Further to the west, he
said, are developed mobile home subdivisions, mobile home rental parks
and a travel trailer recreational vehicle park is located to the
southwest.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Planner Milk said the distance
from the southern edge of the subject site to the mobile home subdi-
vision is approximately 600 feet. He advised the Ordinance states
that any tower over 185 feet in height must maintain a 1,O00-foot
separation or buffer from RMF-1 through RMF-6 or a PUD with six or
less units.

Responding to Commissioner Shanahan, Planner Milk reported the
proposed tower will be approximately 100 to 150 feet away from the
closest approved multi-family unit to the east.
Commissioner Hasse remarked the CCPC did not recommend approval of
this petition.
Planner Milk concurred, but noted there may have been misconcep-
tions on what Cellular One was going to do at that time. He said
along with that recommendation for denial, the petition has brought
forth many concerns from the community in the area. He mentioned,
however, Staff has found this tower is not only consistent with the
development regulations of the Communications Tower Ordinance, it is
compatible with surrounding land uses and therefore, recommends appro-
val.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney Cuyler advised
approval of this item requires a super majority vote of the Board.
Attorney Jim Siesky, representing the petitioner, asked for clari-
fication of the procedure concerning a Conditional Use hearing.
A discussion ensued with regard to the presentation and cross exa-
mination of witnesses by both proponents and opponents in Conditional
Use hearings. Commissioner Volpe suggested the County Attorney pre-
pare a procedure for all petitioners to become familiar with.
Attorney Stesky communicated the subject site was selected by the
petitioner because of its unique value to serving the public. He said
it is necessary for Florida Cellular to serve the northwest corridor
of Collier County, and to do that, they must have a tower in this area
to provide the necessary relays. He stated the site meets the
requirements of Ordinance 91-84. He advised Attorney Pires has
objected through a letter submitted to the Board of County
Commissioners in the past, principally complaining that the
Conditional Use will have an affect on the value of surrounding par-
cels. He reported Ernie Carroll, a real estate appraiser hired by the
petit~oner, has prepared a study in which he has concluded the pro-
posed tower will not have an affect on the value of' surrounding pro-
97
Page 38
January 7, 1992
perties. He said Florida Cellular believes that communication towers
of this nature are necessary and important to the genera/ welfare of
the people of Collier County. He commented the Board has in fact
recognized that similar towers are an essential service as part of the
Ordinance. He remarked if the site were 20 acres in size, the peti-
tioner would not have to request this Conditional Use. He concluded
by requesting approval of Petition CU-91-?, because it is in the
general interest of the public and will provide the necessary public
conveniences that are required and suggested by the County's Tower
Ordinance.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Attorney Siesky stated the
tower would be allowed on the adjacent industrially zoned land up to
200 feet in height. He said he has explored that possibility with
Mr. Krehling, however, he has no space available on that site.
Mark Lamoureux with Cellular One, referred to remarks made
regarding the nature of the denial before the CCPC. He advised at
that time, the Tower Ordinance was in the adoption stage. He said the
CCPC had the opinion that in order to approve a tower on an agri-
cultural piece of land, a 20-acre site was required. He said he
believes that was the major reason for their denial of this petition.
Mr. Lamoureux continued, advising the Board on the importance and
reliability of cellular telephone technology in situations of natural
disaster. Specifically, he said, during Hurricane HuGo in 1989 and
the San Francisco earthquake of 1990, cellular technology was the only
reliable means of communication available to rescue personnel. He
related not only is this tower site consistent with the requirements
of the Ordinance, the petitioner in working with Staff, has reduced
the proposed height and is wi/ling to locate the tower on any portion
of the property that ks acceptable to the Board. He referred to an
iljustration which he said indicated the visual impact of the tower on
the closest residential units in the surrounding area. He stated the
intention of Staff and the Board of County Commissioners in adopting
the Tower Ordinance was to limit towers to areas which are more stra-
Page 39
January 7, 1992
tegic and ].ess offensive to people. He remarked no matter where
towers are located, not everyone will be pleased. He communicated
this site ]s very strategic and is offensive to as few people as
possible.
Attorney Siesky asked the Board to accept Mr. Ernie Carroll as an
expert witness.
Commissioner Volpe noted the Board of County Commissioners has
recognized Mr. Carroll as being an expert in the area of.real estate
appraisals.
Ernie Carroll stated he has been a real estate appraiser in
Collier County since 1974 and has worked both for the Board and for
property owners in the past. He said he was approached by Cellular
One to prepare a study to determine whether or not proximity to towers
has a detrimental or any effect on the value of residential property.
He reported factors necessary to conduct such a study included finding
a similar tower to what is being proposed which is in close proxim~ty
to a residential neighborhood, uniformity of the residential property
and the sales that occurred at the same time. He said those factors
provide uniformity of information to discover if there were properties
that sold in close proximity to a tower that should have been
affected, and other like properties that sold at the same time that
were far enough away from the tower that they should not be affected.
He advised if the tower has an effect, there should be a difference in
the price of the sales that happened at the same time. He said he was
able to fin~ three situations th.It were reasonably similar to the pro-
posed site, one each on Marco Island, Radio Road and Davis Boulevard.
Mr. Carroll provided the Board with a detailed explanation of
property sales in the three referenced areas, concluding with his opi-
nion that merely being close to towers has no measurable effect on the
value of residential property.
Commissioner Volpe commented Mr. Carroll's remarks assume the
tower is built, and people buying residential property know the tower
Page 40
January 7, 1992
is there. He asked if the opinion is different when the residential
property is purchased with the tower built at a later point in time?
Mr. Carroll said his discussion relates to what those residential
properties can be sold for, and that transaction would be with someone
buying the property with the tower already in place.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Carroll stated he suspects
those people who wish to remain in their homes after a tower is built
will continue to be angry for a long time. He said whether they are
right or wrong does not matter.
Commissioner Saunders referred to a letter contained in the agenda
package from Armalavage & LaCroix, Inc., Real Estate Appraisers,
Market Analysts & Consultants. He said the letter indicates the Trade
Center tower in North Naples at the south end of The Crossings single-
family subdivision, has influenced property sales with a decline in
value anywhere from 15% to 30% of the original value since the tower
was erected.
Mr. Carroll pointed out the Trade Center tower is SOO feet in
height and dominates the landscape in that area. He said it is also
in an industrial park containing a sewage disposal area. He stated
the point he is trying to make is there are many other factors
involved than Just the tower.
Attorney Anthony Pires with Woodward, Pires & Anderson, P.A.,
representing N.A. Realty Trust, Inc., the owner of Imperial Lakes,
provided the Board with a packet of information for the record.
Commissioner Saunders asked the County Attorney if the Board of
County Commissioners, as a matter of policy in this type of hearing,
should accept documents that they do not have the opportunity to read
and which will be subject to review by an Appellate Court?
County Attorney Cuyler advised that as a matter of course the
Board has in the past accepted documents into the record when
requested. He suggested the Board accept the documents.
Commissioner Saunders suggested for the future that the Board, as
as a rule of procedure, consider not accepting documents during a
Page
January 7, 1992
hearing unless it is an absolute emergency. He said documents should
be submitted to the County at least one day in advance.
Commissioner Volpe concurred, adding any written materials should
be included as part of the agenda package.
County Attorney Cuyler indicated he will look into incorporating
that suggestion as a rule of procedure into the ordinance, so that it
is a matter of public record.
Attorney Pires referred to the CCPO's unanimous findings that the
proposed tower is incompatible with adjacent properties and would have
an adverse economic effect. He said he also has concerns as to the
sufficiency of the petition itself which does not include information
specifying the tower's physical location with respect to public parks,
designated historic buildings or districts, areas of critical concern
and conservation areas, all of which is required by the Tower
Ordinance.
Planner Milk explained that for every application submitted, Staff
requests certain information that will be applicable to the petition.
He said Mr. Plres is correct in that there are deficiencies, however,
Staff eliminated certain requirements based on the location of this
particular petition.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that legally, the Board cannot hold
the petitioner to things that Staff has indicated did not need to be
part of the petition.
Attorney Pires pointed out two County Ordinances are applicable to
this petition, the Tower Ordinance and the Conditional Use Ordinance
which is part of the Unified Land Development Code (ULDG). He said
the ULDC requires material necessary to show that granting a
Conditional Use will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of the Code and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or to
adjoining properties. Furthermore, he said, any finding in granting a
Conditional Use must take into account the effect the Conditional Use
will have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, Glare, eco-
nomic or odor effects, compatibility with adjacent properties and
Page 42
January ?, 2992
other property in the district. He indicated testimony will be pre-
sented a~ to the negative economic impact and the incompatibility of
this proposal with surrounding properties.
Richard Armalavage stated he is a certified general appraiser in
the State of Florida and has been appraising in Naples for the past 13
years. He explained he was retained by the owners of the Imperial
Lakes PUD to analyze the impact of a tower in near proximity to their
site. He said in order to analyze the potential impact, he made a
survey of existing towers within various locations in both Lee and
Collier Counties, the most notable being the tower adjoining The
Crossings subdivision in North Naples. He stated he conducted
numerous interviews with developers, sales agents, property owners and
the Property Appraiser's Office in Collier County. He indicated he
compared the sale of a property prior to the construction of a tower
and the sale of the same property after that construction. He said as
a result of his analysis, he concluded the most similar project for
comparative purposes is The Crossings, because it has the most recent
tower construction, the most similar type of residential product and
is in the North Naples area. He advised there is a definite loss in
value for residential properties in near proximity or with view expo-
sure of the tower, and in many cases, they are three or four blocks
from the tower. He said in addition to loss of value, the more criti-
cal item is the restricted marketability of the property. He reported
there have.been no developer sales in The Crossings since the tower
was erected. He said all transactions have been resales and in each
case within near proximity of the tower, there has been a decline in
value. He concluded there is no question that there is a negative
impact from The tower on residential values and the marketability of
the property.
John Hayes, Development Manager of N.A. Realty Trust, Inc., stated
to get to the point of receiving a final Site Development Plan and
vested rights on Imperial Lakes PUD, they have expended a con-
siderable amount of funds in engineering, architectural, legal fees
Page
January 7, 1992
and permits. He referred to plans on the bulletin board, pointing out
wherever the tower is located on the proposed site, it will be within
a few hundred feet of their residential units. He concluded as a
developer of an adjoining property, N.A. Realty Trust is strenuously
objecting to the tower, because the marketability and subsequent
values of their property will be drastically affected.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Frank Heaton with Cellular One,
stated they propose to use a back up generator on the tower site,
which they will be amenable to enclosing in a structure. He said the
generator itself will be very well muffled and will also be situated
nearly 400 feet away from Imperial Lakes with a wooded area in bet-
ween. He added the generator will only be in operation for a maximum
of one-half hour per week or in the event of a power failure.
Attorney Pires pointed out the petitioner has indicated a
willingness to move the tower to the center of the site. He said
according to the County's environmental Staff, the request for an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) waiver was granted provided the
construction occurred in the northeast portion of the property.
Attorney PAres asked that Robert Duane with Hole, Montes &
Associates, be accepted as an expert in the field of Planning.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Attorney Siesky stated he has
no objection to Mr. Duane's qualifications, however, objects to his
testimony because Collier County Staff has already said the petition
is consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
Robert Duane, Planning Director with Hole, Montes & Associates,
stated he is Certified, has a Master's Degree in Planning, 20 years
relevant public and private sector experience and has q~alifted as an
expert witness in Collier County and a number of adJoAning CountAes.
He said it is his conclusion, based on a review of the criteria An the
ULDC, that the sub3ect site is not compatible. Furthermore, he said,
it does not meet Section 5.4 of the Growth Management Plan which
requires a similar, general test of compatibility. He sa~d in his
opinion the size and configuration of the property is not sufficient
Page 44
January 7, 1992
to create an adequate separation between adjoining residential proper-
ties, and towers proposed to be 185 feet in residential areas should
approach the 20 acre minimum site size.
Rip Perry, resident of Landmark Estates, stated his community has
approximately 800 residents who are extremely upset about the location
of this tower. He said no proof has been offered that there will be
no emissions from the tower under certain atmospheric conditions. He
remarked it is a direct insult to the property owners in that vicinity
for the petitioner to erect a tower on the subject site. He noted
since first ]earning of this petition in November, he has made a
thorough investigation with realtors, appraisers and developers who
al/ agree that the tower will have an adverse effect on future sales
of their homes. He added he has been approached by the President of
the Caribbean Park Association, who represents 359 homes, to convey
to the Board his concerns with'this proposal. He urged the Board not
to put their residential neighborhood in the same position as that of
The Crossings.
Mr. Lamoureux stated he will be glad to provide Mr. Perry with
what he has previously given the Board of County Commissioners
regarding the safety of the emissions of these towers. He said there
are no damaging effects, no radiation and there will be no inter-
ference under any atmospheric conditions.
Commissioner Volpe asked Mr. Lamoureux to comment on the EIS
waiver that was granted provided the tower is erected in the northeast
section of the property.
Mr. Lamoureux stated the petitioner was looking for locations on
the site that were the least environmentally sensitive. In addition
to the chosen site in the northeast corner, he said, the southern
boundary where they now choose to relocate the tower has already been
disturbed and is Just as environmentally acceptable. He concluded
that the proposed tower is not analogous to the tower at The Crossings
which is directly in the backyard of several people and is much larger
in height. He said this tower will be at least 500 feet from the
Page 45
January 7, 1992
nearest residential property.
Mr. Carroll reiterated his previous point that the proposed tower
and the tower at The Crossings are not comparable. In addition, he
said, many other factors impact property values at The Crossings. He
indicated he spoke with the Property Appraiser who, in his opinion,
correctly lowered property assessments in that area at the request of
concerned residents until there is time for a study to determine if
the reduction is appropriate.
Co~i~etoner Hmese moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodni~ht and

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
November 28, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication f~led with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
CU-91-14/George Varnadoe, Esq., representing Highway Pavers, Inc.,
regarding establishment of an earth mining and related processing con-
ditional use in the "A" zoning district for property located in
Section 9, Township 48 South, Range 27 East, Collier County, Florida.
Planner Lord explained the subject petition is a request for con-
ditional use (1) of the "A" zoning distr~ct for earth mining and
related processing. He reported that the proposed site is currently
vacant with Agricultural Zoning. He indicated that properties to the
ffi 000. .: 105
Page 46
January 7, 1992
north, east and west are vacant with Agricultural Zoning. He stated
that property to the south ts vacant with Estates Zoning.
Mr. Lord related that this request for an earth mining operation
as a conditional use ts considered to be consistent with the Future
Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan. He advised that the
total area of this site is 71.3 acres and the proposed excavation will
create a 31 acre lake with a depth of 20' and a maximum of 839 cubic
yards will be removed from the site. He indicated that no dewaterlng
or blastinG is required to facilitate this activity.
Mr. Lord stated that this petition has been distributed to all
necessary reviewing agencies and their concerns and stipulations
relating to this requested land use are listed and addressed In the
Petitioner's Agreement Sheet. He affirmed that this conditional use
will have no detrimental effect on neighboring properties that cannot
be mitigated through appropriate site design measures. He noted that
staff has no objection to approval of this petition.
Mr. Lord announced that the Collier County Planning Commission
(CCPC) held their public hearing November 7, 1991, and by unanimous
vote recommend approval subject to staff's stipulations. He reported
that at the CCPC hearing, no residents spoke for or against this peti-
tion and no correspondence has been received. He requested approval
of subject petitions, subject to the CCPC's recommendation.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Lord explained that the
closest earth mining operation to the subject site is the Mule Pen
Quarry.
Attorney George Varnadoe referred to a wall map, depicting the
subject site of the proposed excavation area. He Indicated that this
item was previously scheduled for a hearing as a companion item to an
excavation permit with a time frame of one year which was the same as
the conditional use. He explained that tn November, the excavation
permit was approved and this item was readvertised and now there are
two time periods running. He asked that the excavation permit run
from today's date along with the conditional use.
Page 47
January 7, 1992
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he has no problem with Mr.
Varnadoe'$ request.
There were no other speakers.
~i~sioner Goodnight moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse ~nd
cm~ried un~ni~u~l¥, to close the public hearing.
In response to Commiss~oner Shanahan, Attorney Varnadoe reported
that Transportation Services has included a series of Stipulations
requir~ng that any damage to the road be corrected, in addit~on to an
~ncreased impact fee based on the number of loads. He affirmed that
he concurs with all stipulations.
Commissioner Goodnight moved, seconded by Coaissioner Hasse and
cm~Tted un~mimou~ly, that the Ordinance as numbered and t~tled below
be mdo1~ted ~ubJect to the Petitioner's Agreement and entered into
O~dinmnc~ Book No. 50:

ORDINANCE 92-3, RE PETITION CU-91-1?, CHIEF CHARLES MCDONALD OF MARCO
ISLAND FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT, REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW
CONS"TRUCTION OF A FIRE STATION TO BE LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF BALD
EAGLE DRIVE AND SAN MARCO DRIVE ON MARCO ISLAND, CONSISTING OF 1.53
ACRES - ADOPTED, SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT SHEET
Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
December 17, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
CU-91-17/Chief Charles McDonald, of the Marco Island Fire Control
District, requesting establishment of a Fire Station Conditional Use
in the C-1/T Zoning District for property located at the northwest
corner of the Intersection of Bald Eagle Drive & San Marco Drive,
Marco Island, consisting of 1.53 acres.
Planner Badamtchian announced that the subject conditional use ts
being requested to allow construction of a fire station at the corner
of Bald Eagle Drive and San Marco Drive on Marco Island.
Mr. Badamtchian stated that the Marco Island Fire Commission voted
to build a new 13,000 SF station. He indicated that the Fire
Commission has elected to allocate space for the Collier County
Emergency Management Services within the new building.
Mr. Badamtchlan advised that the Collier County Planning
Commission reviewed this petition on December 19, 1991 and by a vote
of 4/3 recommended approval of same. He revealed that staff has
received six letters opposing this petition.
Mr. Badamtchian remarked that Transportation Services has indi-
cated that other uses would generate more traffic than the proposed
facility. He reported that San Marco Drive ts currently Level of
Service (LOS) "A" and Bald Eagle is operating at LOS "B".
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Badamtchian advised that
the conditional use of the subject property is consistent with the
Growth Management Plan and the Future Land Use Element.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that the Issues to be considered
with respect to approval of the conditional use are: noise, glare,
Page 49
January ?, 1992
odor, economic impact, compatibility, and Growth Management Plan
compliance. He reminded the Commission that things such as fire
safety, or is this an extra fire station that is not needed, etc. are
not to be considered. He remarked that the only exception to be
reviewed with regard to the number of facilities is whether there is a
proliferation of certain types of things.
At this time, all parties desiring to offer testimony relative to
this petition were sworn in by Commissioner Volpe.
Chief Charles McDonald announced that he stands before the
Commission today after three years in the legislative process, and
requested a vote in the affirmative for conditional use zoning to
allow construction of an emergency services complex on Marco Island.
Chief McDonald stated that the complex needs to be built in the
location as specified in the zoning request due to new demands as a
result of growth. He remarked by the year 2000, there will be close
to 24,000 housing units on Marco Island and approximately 36,000
people. He indicated that this figure does not take into con-
sideration the seasonal influx, which according to studies could be as
much as a 30% increase during the season.
Chief McDonald advised that studies of the present site have been
performed in-house and then at the request of the Marco Island Civic
Association, by two outside consulting firms. He indicated that the
results of all three studies, which were conducted independent of each
other, were very conclusive. He reported that each study indicated
that once all factors were considered, i.e. zoning district regula-
tions, stormwater management, parking, sewage management, right-of-way
construction, safety and emergency vehicle access, the present
building and site were declared to be functionally obsolescent. Me
remarked that aided by the studies, a search for a better location,
utilizing national recognized standards, commenced. He revealed that
the Bald Eagle/San Marco site stood out from the other sites, noting
that accident risks would be minimized at this location.
In answer to Commissioner Masse, Chief McDonald explained that
118
Page §0
January ?, 1992
there is a critical staffing shortage on Marco Island and second alarm
companies responding to an emergency are required to travel on SR-951.
Tape ~
Commissioner Shanahan remarked that it has been suggested to reno-
vats the South Barfield property to accommodate the future needs
without expanding into a 13,000 SF facility. Chief McDonald replied
that additional land would need to be acquired on either side of the
present site and the result would be a 500' elongated building which
would not meet setback requirements.
Attorney Craig Woodward advised that the Fire Commissioners voted
3/0 to approve the new station. He divulged that 18 public hearings
were held and discussions ensued with regard to the new station,
financing and architectural work. In addition to the studies, he
reported that a citizens committee was appointed that looked into
various issues.
Attorney Woodward stated that the Fire Commission considered the
following: size and location of the facility; statistics relative to
road access to provide fire equipment to a scene as quickly as
possible; and location of areas where the percentage of the calls are
coming from on the Island. He noted that the Fire Commission does not
have the power of eminent domain, and therefore, they are required to
purchase property. He announced that the Commission was able to buy a
good piece of property with good interest rates for a suitable loca-
tion. He revealed that the option for purchase of the property
expires on January 31, 1992.
Mr. Woodward stated that the plan is to build a station that will
':":~,' . be adequate for Marco's butldout, noting that the last station which
was built was constructed in 1974 and this facility is for volunteers
and houses four people.
Commissioner Hasse questioned the consensus of opinion from the
public with regard to the new facility. He 'reported that he has
received a number of letters in opposition to same.
Mr. Woodward remarked that in these types of situations, folks in
Page 51
January 7, 1992
opposition are generally more vocal than those persons in favor. He
affirmed that members of the condo association on the beach indicated
that the present number of condos subjected to fire as compared to
1974 is astronomical and therefore, they endorse the proposed faci-
lity. He noted in general, the people realize there cannot be a sta-
tion that sleeps four people to fight a high rise fire on Marco.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Attorney Woodward advised
that there was good representatign at the town meeting and the
majority of people attending were curious as to the aesthetics of the
fire station.
Mr. Daniel Johnson of Gee & Jenson Architectural Engineers, spoke
to the issue of compatibility of surrounding land uses. He called
attention to the proposed site, noting that a bank building is located
on property to the north. He pointed out the nearby medical office
facility and the residential, multi-family and Marco Tennis/Racquet
Club. He revealed there would be one way in and one way out from the
apparatus bay, and the low volume of traffic generated by this station
would have no significant impact on any of the operating conditions.
He remarked that recognizing this facility will be a focal point, an
over abundance of work has been done in the architectural sense in
order to be compatible with the surrounding commercial and residential
neighborhood.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Chief McDonald divulged that
there are plans for a 47' tower to be moved from the Barfield site to
the proposed facility.
Responding to concerns of the Collier County Planning Commiss~on,
Mr. Johnson reported that the lights can be candled in a way to pre-
vent glare on ad3acent properties.
W~th regard to noise, Chief McDonald reported that sirens would be
utilized at select times to clear traffic, however, this would not
present a problem.
Mr. Charles Burnett, member of the Citizens Committee, reported
that one thing the committee arrived at, was that a central f~re sta-
Page 52
January 7, 1992
tion is needed on Marco to build out for the future. He indicated
.that four alternate sites were considered, noting that three sites
were geographically acceptable, however, they were not acceptable with
respect to surrounding properties. Re remarked that the proposed
facility will be a beautiful structure and will be located directly
across the street from the helicopter pad. He affirmed that the com-
mittee recommends the proposed site.
Mr. Kenneth Alford, Marco F~ref~ghter, revealed that the present
station has four beds with five persons on duty, resulting in one per-
son sleeping on a couch. He stated that the new location will provide
the ability for the fire trucks to be driven straight through and
minimize traffic disturbance.
Emergency Services Adm~nistrator Reardon recalled that there have
been discussions in the past relating to working with the Marco Island
Fire Control District and moving the Medic 4 Unit, currently housed at
the Urgent Care Center. He indicated that the Paramedics stay in two
10' x lO' rooms at the facility, noting that the Urgent Care Center
does not charge rent to the County. He remarked that there is no long
term written agreement and the County could be asked at any t~me to
leave since that facility will be expanding. He indicated that con-
sideration has been given to taking the Paramedic unit and locating
same to the new facility as a way of capturing costs today to save
over expenditures ~n the future.
Mr. Robert Duklauer, speaking on behalf the Marco Island
Taxpayers' Association, cited that the Commission has letters from his
group, indicating the public ts clearly against the central station.
He pointed out that the studies were not conducted by fire departments
or fire suppression experts, but rather, from architects. He related
that he does not believe that architects are qualified to assess the
needs of the Fire District since they merely assessed the feasibility
of a lS,000 SF building to determine whether it could be placed on
Barfield. He advised that there have been no studies which sup-
ports the need for a 13,000 SF bu~lding. He noted the associat~on
Page 53
January 7, 1992
studied 12 other fire districts within the State of Florida with
respect to manpower and they average one firefighter per !,000 rest-
dents. He remarked that the design of the proposed building would
accommodate a staff of 350 persons, or three times the amount of 12
other fire districts. If the project moves forward, he reported that
an immediate commitment of $2,700,000 would be required for start up
costs and there should be some type of comprehensive study to support
the need for a central station in addition to all aspects of the fire
district. He stated that there should be something in writing from
qualified professionals. He revealed that it has not been
demonstrated that the proposed facility would promote the welfare of
the residents of Marco Island and this is a condition for granting a
conditional use. He respectfully requested that the conditional use
be denied.
Mr. Ray Parer, Vice President Marco Island Taxpayers' Association,
submitted three letters for the record, voicing opposition to the pro-
posed facility. He indicated that this conditional use does not pro-
mote the public prosperity which is required for granting same. In
addition, he reported that there must be the promotion of public
health, safety and welfare and there has been no professional examina-
tion in this regard. He asked that the conditional use not be granted
until an outside, in-depth expert be obtained, and possibly a referen-
dum by an educated electorate prior to such a financial undertaking.
Mr. Foster Harris, Vice President, Marco Island Civic Association,
reported when his organization became involved with this situation,
the Fire Department was advised that they stood behind them 100~ pro-
riding a competent opinion would be obtained, however, this has not
been done. He indicated that Tttsch & Associates and Anchor
Engineering haVe no strong suits as to how to run a fire department
and they are not fire consultants. He revealed that the Marco Island
Planning Commissioners voted against this proposal. He suggested that
an in-depth study be' conducted by an outside fire consultant.
Attorney Woodward remarked that mention was made with respect to
Page 54
January 7, 1992
the standard and general welfare of Marco's public prosperity, health
and welfare, but noted these are not conditions for the subject land
use. He stated that there will always be people who feel sufficient
information has not been obtained, i.e. additional studies. He indi-
cated that the Fire Commissioners are convinced that the proposed
facility is needed on Marco. He requested that the Commlssion support
the petition.
Commissioner Saunders advised that he met with Messrs. Foster,
Parer, Duklauer and Carsillo this morning, noting that a request was
made to delay this item until an appropriate study is conducted to
make sure the location is appropriate and this type facility is
needed. He indicated that he was not unsupportive of the request as
long as it made sense, however, County Attorney Cuyler affirmed that
the Board of County Commissioners cannot consider the ~ssue of whether
th~s is the best location from a response time issue or public
necessity standpoint since that is a determination to be made by the
Marco Fire Commission. He stated that the Board's discretion is
whether this is a compatible land use with the surrounding areas.
Commissioner Shanahan remarked that this is a very difficult
situation and regardless of what action is taken, the Fire Commission
will move to another site. He revealed that he would have liked to
see more consistency in the attitudes and opinions of the total
Island. He affirmed that he has great concerns with regard to the
feelings of the Marco Island Taxpayers' Association and the Marco
Island Civic Association, but noted he hoped that there could have
been a professional study.
Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the Fire Commission would
reconsider and solicit a professional study in order to satisfy the
concerns of the Marco Island Taxpayers' Association and the Marco
Island Civic Association.
Attorney Woodward explained that this is a matter of timing since
the option on the subject land expires at the end of this month and
there is a non-refundable deposit. In addition, he reported that one
Page

extension has been granted with respect to financing and the interest
rate ts fixed at a certain percentage at this point and an extension
would be detrimental to the Fire Commission.
Commissioner Hasse moved, seconded by Comntaatonar GoodnAght and

Couissioner Goodnight advised that she has been contacted by the
City of Naples with regard to ho]ding a Jotnt meeting on January 13,
1992 at 2:00 P.M.
After a brief discussion the Commission concurred to hold a Joint
meeting with the City on January 13th at 2:00 P.M., at which time
attempts will be made to reach a compromise with respect to the beach
parking issue.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that the Collier Building Industry
Aasoctatton desires to have the Road Impact Fee public hearing con-
ducted after 6:00 P.M. on January 21, 1992.
The Commission concurred to set a time specific for the Road
Impact Fee Public hearing rather than ho/ding same after 5:00 P.M.
Commissioner Saunders remarked that there has been recent publi-
city with regard to the reorganization of upper level staff. He
suggested that because of the serious nature of that evaluation, that
the Co~tsston receive the plan well tn advance of the meeting when
this Issue will be discussed; and that basic information relative to
the number of positions, Job descriptions, etc. be forwarded as soon
as possible.
Commtaaioner Volpe pointed out that recent changes to the agenda
have been working out very well. He suggested that an additional
Item, "Public Comment", be added to the end of the agenda and if a
member of the public wishes to address the Board of County
Commissioners as a body, they would have the opportunity to do so.
The Commission concurred.
Co--Isotoner Volpe questioned whether the Board would be amenable
'~ to beginning the weekly Comatsslon meetings at 8:30 A.M. to take care
of housekeeping items, te. approval of minutes, proclamations, service
awards, etc. Commissioner Goodnight replied that she would be Incon-
venienced since she would have to leave home at 6:30 A.M.
Page 57
January 7, 1992
Commissioner Volps indicated that he will discuss this at a later date
with the Manager.
The Commiss/on discussed setting the time and location for the
Strategic Planning Workshop. Commissioner Volpe suggested that
perhaps the workshop could be held at a location, away from the work
environment, ~d at no cost to the taxpayers. Commissioner Shanahan
advised that he w~l be out of to~ on the 24th, which was tentatively
scheduled for the workshop. County Manager Dottel1 s~ated that he
will bring back another date for ~he Co~tss/on~s approval.
