January 25, 1994
.Finance Director Yonkosky reported that this Item is a
~Anterta financial report for the first three months of the year. Re
.~:':stated that included in this report is a 3 Month Actual Budget Report
for the General Fund, a 3 Month Actual Budget Report for the
Unincorporated Area General Fund, a 3 Month Budget Actual Revenue
Report for Impact Fees, a 3 Month Budget Actual Revenue Report for
r. ocal Gas Taxes and Major Intergovernmental Revenues and a schedule of
cash by fund as of 12/31/93.
~i"'- Mr. Yonkosky explained that the overdraft for the Operating
Account depicted on page 12 is due to the fact that December 31or fell
on a Friday and the State Board of Administration was closed, there-
'.'![.fore, "the float" was taken advantage of and a number of debt service
~: .payments were due on January let, but the money was not transferred
-down from Tailshesse until the following Monday.
'3 ~', .~ Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the expenditures for the
.Administrative Services and Public Services Division this year are
An excess of what the expenditures were at the same time last
year. He asked for an explanation.
Budget Director McNees explained that Atems issued under the term
contract, such as purchase orders, may be opened for a full years'
worth of purchases, if An the first month a great deal of purchases
are made, they would appear to be a large expenditure but would be a
one time expense.
~y ~ Finance Director Yonkosky declared that under the governmental
,g structure, if a commitment is made to spend a certain
~u~ount of money, that money must be restricted.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Yonkosky replied that the
difference in the amount of Other Transfers was due to fact that the
Board collapsed a 1 mill Capital Fund Into the General Fund for tax
purposes, therefore, large transfers out were necessary to
the Capital Program.
F/hence Director Yonkosky explained that the significant increase
~' An the Cable TV Franchise Fees budget and the modest increase An reve-
Page 5
January 25, 199,1,
has come about because most Cable TV Franchise contracts must
their payments before March. He said ~ha~ ~i~hAm the ne~ ~ew
a large increase will become apparent.
Xn response to Mr. Volpe's question, Mr. ¥onkosk¥ confirmed that
the $12.50 surcharge that has been established for our 800 MHz system
will be reflected in a Trust Fund which is not shown on this report.
"~He indicated the the Trust Fund is shown on the Annual Financial

Constantine commented that there is no cost to the
to own the land and to charge rent to the District taxpayer
'would be unnecessary.
Commissioner Saunders stated that it seems that the majority of
the Board is opposed to charging rent.

The following people spoke on the subject:

Ns. Taylor revealed that if the Board chooses to charge · nominal
fee,' Staff is recoeuaending that a provision be added to the Lease
stating that the District complete the construction of its facility
~.. within · stipulated period of time to ensure that the property does
~ not ~remain .vacant.
Com~issioner Norris st·ted that this is the first instance where
County o~ns property that has not been donated to a Fire District
with no fee. He reported that all the others have had some financial
.:Involvement. He concluded that in the interest of consistency, some
,rent should be charged for this property.

Jeff Walker, Risk Management Director, recalled that the Board
'. directed Staff to consider retiree health Insurance premium payment
alternatives. He reported that according to Florida Statute, the
~.-Board is required to offer group health insurance coverage to its
~['.retIrees at a cost not greater than the group rate, however the Board
~.i!:ls not required to contribute to this coverage. He confirmed that
~[there are currently 22 employees covered under the plan, 19 of those
~employees carry single coverage.
Mr. Walker recommended the following options; continue the current
policy of not contributing toward the cost of coverage, contribute
[..toward single coverage, or Implement a single and spouse rate. He
explained the fiscal impact of these options.
Commissioner Matthews asked If a Medt-Gap policy could be provi-
ded?
,(; , Mr. Walker contended that a true Medi-Gap policy only picks up the
,difference between allowable Medt-Care charges and what Medt-Care
He said that the County policy coordinates with what Medi-Care
He acknowledged that the State offers a Medl-Gap program and
reported that retirees are directed to the State to get that policy if
choose it.
~<'?iCo~AsaIoner Yelps ~oved, that the Board continue Its policy of
not contributing toward the cost of coverage of health insurance for
~(,. retirees. Seconded b~ ComaIesioner Norris.
Commissioner Constantine commented that he has no interest in
changing the policy for those who have already retired.
..~. , Commissioner Matthews pointed out that the poss~bility of offering
:'a single and spouse rate would save the retirees approximately $120.00
: per month. She encouraged the other members of the Board to make this

Commissioner Norris announced that he could not support the motion

Property Department was not~fted by the o~er that a portion of the
facility encroached on Lo~ 1 and requested lease payments because they
concluded that this resulted in a misunderstanding between the two
.agencies.
' Crystal Klnzel, Finance Director for the Sherlff's Office,
revealed that the Sherlff's Office did everything possible to see that
the facility be constructed with proper approval and required permits.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Ms. Kinzel replied that
the Sherlff's Office did not seek approval for using both lots at no
additional charge because they were unaware that there were two addi-
tional lots.
Mr. Ochs confirmed that written communication confirms the per-
mission from the owner. He reiterated that this Is an honest mtsun-
g by the Sheriff's Office because both lots are depicted as
i:~;,.r one parcel, therefore, the contractor had no reason to suspect that he
could not construct the facility.
Commissioner Constantine disagreed with the assumption that
because one parcel is owned by one person that it is all applicable on
/ease.
· Ms. Kinzel announced that equal responsibility Ja shared between
-'.~ths $herIff's Office and the Real Property Department.
In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Ochs replied that the
lease does not define the dimensions of Lots 1 and 2. He stated that
it refers to Lot 2 but does not define the property lines.

.'a Commissioner Saunders interjected that aside from the fact of who
:.:is, responsible, the problem must be resolved.
.Commissioner Volpe expressed concern regarding the fact that the
[:.Shertff's Office has been using both lots for the past 10 years and
the owner granted permission to construct a permanent facility on a
'part of the lot knowing that it will cost $36,000.00 to remove It.
Ms. Kinzel clarified that the cost of removing and reconstructing
;"the facility would be $9,000.00. She confirmed that the Shertff'a
?/Office also feels that the property owner was aware that the facility
encroaching on the other lot.

REQUEST TO EVALUATE A NEW ARTIFICIAL REEF RESULTING FROM THE
'RENOVATIONOF ~ULF VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL - STAFF TO PERFORM ECONOMIC
ANALYSIS AND R~PORT FINDINGS TO THE BCC
Commissioner Constantine stated that work will commence at Gulf
View Middle School soon in conjunction with Collier County's imple-
menting an artificial reef program. Commissioner Constantine informed
that he asked Staff to complete a brief cost analysis and it appears
that a more detailed study is required.
Commissioner Constantine disclosed that the initial analysis indi-
cates it will be more cost effective to clear the materials removed
from Gulf View Middle School and barge them to create an artificial
reef than to haul and dump them at the landfill. Commissioner
Constantine stated that it will be to the benefit of everyone as well
as saving money and eliminating more landfill.
Commissioner Constantine requested that the Board authorize Staff
to complete a more in-depth study/cost analysis and to work with the
School Board to complete the project.
Bill Lorenz, Environmental Services Administrator, stated that the
economic analysis hinges on the use of the Grant which was received
from the State. Mr. Lorenz informed that recently Collier County has
been successful in securing a $25,000 grant which does not require
matching funds. Mr. Lorenz explained that the current 1994 grant must
be expended before June 30, 1994 which may not fit the time frame for
demolition at Gulf View Middle School. Mr. Lorenz stated that Collier
County could recommend to the State that the 1995 grant monies be uti-
lized for the reef project if the school board is able to hold the
materials.
Commissioner Constantine stated that the construction and demoli-
tion is scheduled as a stepped up process at the school so it may work
into their calendar.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the concept is excellent as the
renovations are a Joint effort by the City of Naples and the Collier
Page 17
January 25, 1994
County School Board. Commissioner Volpe explained that the cost of
hauling and fees for landfill has most likely been factored into the
cost of the work which could mean a reduction tn cost to the School
Board or the City of Naples and Collier County will receive materials
for the artificial reef. Commissioner Volpe questioned the level of
participation by the County because the County will lose revenues at
the landfill and it will cost taxpayers money for barging the
materials to the reef site.
Commissioner Constantine explained that a transfer could be made
from the funds that come into the landfill into the artificial reef
programs by budget amendment or morley could be requested directly
from the school board but this needs to be discussed and decided by
the Board in the future. Commissioner Constantine stated that he is
requesting that the Board direct Staff to work with the school board
to determine economic factors.
County Manager Dotrill stated that Collier County may assume the
responsibility for barging the materials but would be compensated
through a combination of funds that would otherwise have been tipping
· fees or through a State grant.
Comuiesioner Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and
carried 4/0, (Commissioner Saunders out) to have Staff perform an eco-
nomic analysis and report the findings to the Board of Cottnty
Co~alee~onera.

Commissioner Constantine stated that there were two (2) specific
points covered when the County renegotiated the County Administrator's
contract which were important: 1) a specific timeframe and 2) the
severance package was lowered over a period of time. Commissioner
Constantine explained that the County Attorney's contract should
include similar provisions.

Commissioner Matthews stated that County Attorney Cuyler has the
only open end contract existing. In response to Commissioner Volpe,
Commissioner Matthews responded that Mr. Dorrill's contract addresses
cost of living increases and salary caps which will also be addressed
in negotiations with Mr. Cuyler.
Commissioner Matthews stated that she will enter into negotiations
with Mr. Ouyler regarding his contract and informed the Board that two
(2) w~ek~ will be ~ufficient to complete negotiations.
DISCUSSION ~GARDINS FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM - CONTINUED TO FEBRUARY 1,
1994
Commissioner Constantine stated that he received a letter from
Louis Rusttzky dated January 16, 1994 concerning current policies or
lack thereof with the Friends of the Museum.
Louis Rusitzky, resident, stated that he wrote the Board of County
Commissioners in July, 1993 because he was distressed with the
contract for use of the Museum grounds. Mr. Rusttzky stated that his
extensive experience with museums indicates that most museums control
the operations of the grounds and financial aspects.
Mr. Rusitzky indicated that he has never received any com-
munications from the Friends of the Museum even though he has been a
member for a number of years.
Mr. Rusitzky pointed out that recently he asked for a copy of the
by-laws and found that notices of meetings, notices of elections in
May, etc. were to be sent to all members. Mr. Rusitzky stated that
further research indicated there are only 19 paid up members in an
organization that is eight (8) years old. Mr. Rusitzky informed the
Board that none of the officers or directors elected in May 1993 are
members in good standing. Mr. Rusitzky stated that it is his conten-
tion that everything that has been done since approximately 1989 is
invalid.
Mr. Rusitzky stated that at the January 13, 1994 meeting, the
Treasurer did not provide a treasurer's report, he could not provide
3'59
Page 19
January 25, 1994
anything more than an estimate of the checking account balance nor an
amount of funds that were unobligated. Mr. Rusitzky explained that
the only information received since the last Indian Heritage Days is
an estimate that 20,000 people attended; there was a fee of $3.00 for
admittance of which $1.00 was to go to the Museum and $2.00 to the
promoters of the Indian Days. Mr. Rusitzky stated that as of this
date there ts still no official report as to the number who attended,
how much was collected and no funds have been turned over to the
Museum.
Mr. Rusttzky Informed the Board that an auction was held for the
benefit of the Museum but there ts no report of how much was raised or
where the money is located.
Mr. Rusltzky maintained that 1) there is no official relationship
between the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and the
Friends of the Collier County Museum but if this is a taxpayer
financed County budgeted operation, there should be some direct rela-
tionship, and 2) there is a total staff of four (4) at the Museum but
the County has accepted properties from Immokalee to Everglades City.
Mr. Rusitzky proposed that the Board of County Commissioners
appoint an advisory board with people who have had some experience
with museums.
Mr. Rusitzky complimented Collier County on the Museum and stated
it has fantastic possibilities.
Mr. Rusitzky stated that the Museum grounds were to be brought
back to their previous state after the Indian Days event according to
the Agreement, but the grounds are in miserable shape. Mr. Rusttzky
stated that there is an estimate of $7,000 to repair the grounds and
the Museum received a bill for $2,800 for electrical work performed by
County Staff which the Museum Director did not authorize.
Mr. Rusttzk¥ stated that he ts not looking for accusations but for
a better relationship between a group of people (i.e. advisory board)
and the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Rusttzky indicated that if
the Friends of the Museum wish to continue and raise funds for the
Page 20
January 25, 1994
museum, that is fine, but their past activities indicate they should
not have the controls they have.
Commissioner Constantine commented that the Friends of the Museum
are independent and the Board has no authority over them but because
of the issues relative to the responsibilities that have been bestowed
upon them, in particular the Indians Days (bringing the Grounds to
their original shape and money to be shared with the Museum), some
kind of formal answer is warranted.
County Manager Dotrill stated that there has been no agreements
for accounting between Collier County and the Osceola Family; this was
designated a responsibility of the Friends of the Museum. Mr. Dotrill
expressed his surprise regardinG trouble with the directors and offi-
cers of the Friends of the Museum not beinG in Good standinG. Mr.
Dotrill stated that a proper accounting of fund distribution is
needed.
In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Dotrill stated that
someone is posted at the entrance to Indian Days requestinG donations,
explaining that it supports the event and performers, but he is not
aware if ticket stubs are issued.
Commissioner Saunders explained that ticket stubs were not issued
but someone from the Friends of the Museum manned the Gate.
Mr. Dotrill stated that ticket stubs should be required in order
to account for the cash on hand.
Mr. Dotrill stated that the County has a written contractual
agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and the Osceola
Family in which there are obligations on the part of the Friends of
the Museum. Mr. Dotrill explained that the County is responsible for
placing exterior outside security lightinG.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dotrill explained that
there was a master plan presented by the Friends of the Museum which
was approved, but the County does not have a written agreement with
the Friends of the Museum.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the accounting for the Indian Days
Page 21
January 25, 1994
event should come from the Osceola Family since the County has a
contractual agreement with them.
Mr. Dorrtll explained that the Friends of the Museum provided the
'operating manpower for the most recent event and will for the upcoming
event.
The following people spoke on this item.
Charles Abbott
Addison Miller
Don Cahill
Commissioner Saunders stated that the Agreement between the County
and the 0sceola Family can be cancelled by either party upon 90 days
written notice. Commissioner Saunders explained that the Agreement
reads that the 0sceola Family shall return the property to its pre-
festivities condition.
Commissioner Constantine stated that the contract requires payment
of $1,000 to the Board within seven (?) days of the Indian Days
Festival.
Ron Jamro, Museum Director, stated that the $1,000 payment was
received. Mr. Jamro explained that the County's landscape service
provider estimated that it will cost $7,548.00 to repair the area
immediately behind the Museum and that does not include the area where
the Indian village is located. Mr. Jamro stated that David Southall,
volunteer biologist, and Naples Fertilizer looked at the property and
collaberated the estimate for repairs to the grounds. Mr. Jamro
stated that this does not include damage to trees and native Florida
plants. Mr. Jamro informed the Board that he approached the Osceola
Family at the last Friends of the Museum meeting regarding repair of
the damages prior to the April event and both the Osceola's and the
Friends indicated that it was the County's responsibility.
Commissioner Constantine stated that Staff should pursue the issue
because the County needs to reconsider the Agreement if the Osceola
Family is not meeting their responsibility. Commissioner Constantine
explained the Agreement is not for the good of the community if the
County is losing in excess of $9,300.
Page 22
January 25, 1994
Mr. Jamro stated that recently the Indian Days are the only fund
raising events the Friends of the Museum participate in; membership
has dwindled and the rodeo was cancelled. Mr. Jamro explained that
these events are costing the Museum money.
Mr. Jamro stated that there is no official agreement with the
Friends but their Charter states that they are pledged to assist the
Museum. Mr. Jamro informed that the Friends of the Museum are sche-
duled to have elections in Early March and hopefully a new Board will
participate more and work harmoniously with the Museum.
Commissioner Volpe stated that it ts evident that the Indian Days
events have outgrown the Museum grounds which results in damage, and
the County needs to consider if the grounds should be utilized in this
manner for any event.
In response to County Attorney Cuy]er, Commissioner Volpe
responded that no lawsuit should be instigated but the termination
provisions of the contract need to be considered although there is not
sufficient time to terminate the Agreement before the April event.
Mr. 3amro stated that the Museum is ready to administer the
Agreement to the letter during the April event and provide an estimate
as to additional damage which may occur.
Commissioner Saunders explained that there are two sides to every
story and because the Friends of the Museum nor the Osceola's are
represented at this meeting, no action should be taken at this time.
Commissioner Saunders stated that both parties should be notified that
termination of the contract is under consideration and will be
addressed at the Board of County Commissioners meeting of February 1,
1994.
Commissioner Constantine stated that there may not be a need next
week to discuss termination of the contract if an agreement can be
reached regarding the $7,500 due for damages to the grounds but the
issue as to whether the Museum is an appropriate site for holding the
events needs to be addressed.
Mr. Jamro stated that he will notify all affected parties that
this item will be discussed at the February 1 meeting.

DRIVE, LYING IN SECTION 17, TOWNSHIP 48 SOUTH, RANGE 25 EAST - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
January 9, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Commissioner Volpe questioned why this parcel of land could not be
used for additional parking for patrons of the Cocohatchee River Park?
Commissioner Volpe stated that Collier County is always looking for
additional parking space for boat trailers, boats, etc.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the petitioner owns Wiggins Pass
Marina and will be utilizing what is now Collier County owned land for
parking for his paying customers.
Russ Muller, Transportation Engineer I, stated that the owner of
record was Lester M. Nogue and the petitioners obtained a Quitclaim
Deed for the parcel. Mr. Muller explained that the 30'x130' parcel
was originally left out of the legal description in January, 1956 and
acceptance of the dedicated easement by Collier County is
questionable.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the property is adjacent to a
County park and if the County retained some rights, the area could be
utilized for ingress and/or egress to the park at some future date.
Commissioner Volpe explained that Westinghouse was also interested in
possibly a Joint entrance to their yacht facility utilizing this land.
Derek Hodgin, agent for Wiggins Pass Marina, stated that the
intended use of the right-of-way is for reconfiguration of the
existing parking area and to accommodate future additional parking.
Mr. Hodgin explained that the area will also include storm water
management retention and landscaping. Mr. Hodgin stated that this
petition was originally submitted in 1991 when the County engineering
364
Page 24
January 25, 1994
firm was in the design phases of the Conklin Point ramp facility and
they have determined that this parcel will not be needed for that
site.
Tom Olliff, Public Service Administrator, stated that there is
actually 60 feet of easement between where the County's Cocohatchee
River Park ends and the Wiggins Pass Marina property begins. Mr.
· / Olliff explained that the property that the County has
been pursuing is the parcel 30 feet by approximately 600 feet directly
north of the park which is planned for 25 to 30 boat parking spaces.
Mr. Olliff informed the Board that the property Involved in this
vacation would not meet Collier County's need now or in the future.
Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing.

Ron Nlno, Current Planning Staff, stated that that the property is
located adjacent to the Brentwood Activity Center PUD and ~eets cri-
teria of the Golden Gate Master Plan which allows conditional uses in
the transitional area. Mr. Nino stated that the Petition is con-
sistent with the Growth Management Plan. Mr. Ntno explained the peti-
t/on has been reviewed by the appropriate agencies and there are no
objections.
Mr. Nino explained that the Planning Commission unanimously
approved the Petit/on subject to the stipulations as listed in the

cerns have been addressed. Mr. N/no explained that the Petitioner has

Nino explained that the master plan represented in the Petition does
not create a problem.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Nino informed the Board
that the 2.7 acre tract immediately east of the subject property is
owned by the church but is not included in this Petition because the
criteria in the Golden Gate Master Plan limits that area to five (5)
acres.
Commissioner Volpe stated that having a PUD for this type of

GUILFORD ACRES - CONTINUED TO FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Legal notice having been published In the Naples Daily News on
December 26, 1993, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Wayne Arnold, Current Planning Staff, stated that this Petition
was continued from January 11, 1994. Mr. Arnold explained this
request is to construct a church on an existing single family home
Mr. Arnold stated that the development will be done in two phases
to convert the single family residence into a house of worship with a
maximum of 120 parishioners.
William McDantel, representing the Independent Church of God,
stated that the church has met with Carl Nelson, Architect/Engineer,
to develop a site plan for one way access for entry and exit. Mr.
McDantel explained that all County Code requirements for parking and
buffering have been met. Mr. McDaniel explained that the parking and
landscape buffering will be phased as well as construction of the
church.
Mr. McDaniel stated that on the corner of U.S. 41 is a strip
shopping center with The Independent Bible Church located south on
Guilford Road and then the subject property.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. McDantel explained that
approximately 50 percent of the required landscape buffering 1s in
place but requires some thinning.
Mr. Arnold explained that the church will be required to show that
adequate parking exists for Phase I which is accomplished without
developing the balance of the site.
John Rossetti spoke on this item.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Arnold stated that
there has been no complaint re~-w~ere~'~4jainst the existing church

· for creating traffic problems on the residential street. Mr. Arnold
explained that the intersection at Guilford Road and U.S. 4! does
experience traffic problems but the church operates at off peak times
and should not create any additional traffic problems.
Mr. Arnold stated that one stipulation added to the Agreement is
that should a future traffic signal be warranted at the U.S. 41 and
Guilford Road intersection prior to State installation, the church
shall be subject to a fair share payment of the cost based on a pro-
rata determination of traffic generation.
Mr. Arnold explained that the single family residence presently on
the site is vacant but occasionally it is utilized for church
meetings.
Commissioner Saunders stated that his concern is this property is
relatively small, in a residential community, and as we reduce the
size of lots required for a church, thls parcel being Just one (1)
acre, the Board sets a standard by which they will have to judge
future petitions. Commissioner Saunders explained that the ability to
evaluate the impact of such actions on a neighborhood must not be
lost.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that the burden of the applicant is
to show their request meets the criteria of the Ordinance and then the
burden shifts to the Board to show by competent, substantial evidence
that the application does not meet standards and is adverse to public
interest in order to Justify denial.
Commissioner Saunders questioned ~f other churches exist ~n resi-
dential areas on lots this small?
Mr. Arnold explained that one acre could be considered as a small
site but the applicant can accommodate his requirements and meet
County Codes. Mr. Arnold stated that the parcel could be considered
too small to reduce the ~mpacts on the adjacent property owners.
Mr. Arnold informed the Board that inttlally Staff recommended
denial of this petition to the Planning Commission based on land use
compatibility.

January 25, 1994
Mr. McDanfel stated that the Planning Commission overturned
Staff'a recommendation based on the proximity of the strip shopping
center on U.S. 41 and the ad3olntng existing church which has been
there for 20 years.
Mr. McDaniel explained that the church ts not opposed to hiring a
Sheriff to assist in directing traffic at the intersection should it
become necessary.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. McDantel stated that the
church is ready to make application for approval of the site develop-
ment plan and is financially prepared to commence renovations upon
receipt of the approval. Mr. McDaniel explained that the site will
not serve as a parsonage for the pastor of the church.
Commissioner Volpe stated that his concern is that this church
will not be on a main thoroughfare but encroaches on a residential
neighborhood.
Mr. Cuyler explained that the County does not have a Code which
prohibits encroachments Into residential neighborhoods.
Commissioner Norris stated that we have the technical basis of
compliance with the Land Development Code and the less technical basis
of protection of public welfare.
Mr. Cuyler informed the Board that the Courts would probably look
to compliance with the Land Development Code.
In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. McDantel replied that
church operating hours will be Sunday morning with occasional meetings
after hours for the Board of Directors.
Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Arnold replied that the
Land Development Code amendment cycle will begin in July 1994. Mr.
Arnold etated that the in-house modifications are presently being

Commissioner Volpe stated that traditionally churches have served

part of the m~end~ent cycle of the Land Development Code, to evaluate
the miterim for placement of conditional uses within residential
naigh~rhood~. Seconded by Com~iseioner Matthews.
Mr. McDanlel explained that to affect the livelihood of this
church which has met the conditional use criteria established in the
Code in order to amend the existing Code is unfair.
Mr. Cuyler stated that there is nothing contained in the Code that
indicates that a motion to table is a denial but a petitioner could
win a case in court depending on the length of time because we have a
due procedural process.
Commissioner Matthews stated that she is looking for information
on what churches within Collier County are located on one (1) acre
sites and are not located on primary or secondary roads.
C~teeioner Volpe amended his motion to table this item for a
pert~ of 30 days for Staff to gather Information concerning existing
criteria relating to conditional uses in general.
Commissioner Saunders stated that he would support a motion to
continue this Petition for the further evaluation by Staff concerning
the impacts on this neighborhood.
C~iesioner Volpe withdrew his motion.
Mr. Arnold stated that the original Staff recommendation to the
Collier County Planning Commission read "Given the site proximity to
residentially utilized property, it is our opinion that a house of
worship would be inappropriate and out of character with the
surrounding development."

In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. McDanlel stated that he

tinued again that they would rescind the Agreement.
Commissioner Saunders stated that Staff should not need three (3)
weeks to complete their resvaluation and the Petition should only be
continued until February 1, 1994 due to the contractual agreement of
the church.
Mr. McDaniel questioned what Staff is going to discover that they
did not find during the past four (4) month process?
Co~iaaloner Saunders ~manded his motion to have Staff report
their f~ndings to the Board on February 1, 1994. Conisa~oner Volpe
m~ended h~s second. U~on call for the vote, the Lotion carried 3/2
(Con~aeionera Norris and Constantine opposed).
Commissioner Volpe stated that consideration should be given for
Staff to evaluate conditional uses in general and churches in par-
ticular as they encroach upon residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Dorrtll stated that he was contacted recently by the Naples
Ministerial Association due to difficulty in locating zoned property
for churches. Mr. Dotrill informed the Board that they have created a
committee who may wish to work with Staff on this subject.
It was the consensus of the Board to d~rect Staff to evaluate the
Land Development Code to assure that provisions for conditional uses
are adequate to protect res~dentia! conusunlttes.
