0RDINAN~E 91-74 AMENDING COLLIER COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 80-47, THK
00LLI~I~ COUNTX PARKING ORDINANCE, BY REVISING SECTION SIX ENTITLED
PUBLIC PARKING SPACES FOR CERTAIN HANDICAPPED PERSONS AND R~VISING
SECTION SEVEN ENTITLED PENALTIES - ADOPTED AS AMKNDKD
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 25, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider'an ordinance amending
Collier County Ordinance No. 80-47, the Collier County Parking
Ordinance by revising Sections Six and Seven.
Assistant County Attorney Richard Yovanovich presented an amend-
ment to the current parking ordinance which will increase the fine for
illegally parking in handicapped parking spaces from the current $25
to $250. He said all other parking violations will be increased from
$5 to $10. He noted incorporated in the ordinance is a provision that
one-third of the fines collected for parking illegally in a han-
dicapped space will go toward defraying costs of administration of the
handicapped provisions, and the remaining two-thirds will go towards
improving accessibility, equal opportunity and public awareness
related to the handicapped community.
Mr. Yovanovich called attention to a sentence on page 3 of the
Ordinance, paragraph (1), which begins, "The fines collected pursuant
to this provision..." He asked that it be amended to state, "The
fines collected for violating Section Six of this Ordinance..." He
further requested that subparagraph (a) be changed to read, "One-third
to be used to defray expenses for administration."
Commissioner Hasse commented standing signs should be used rather
than painting the pavement, which wears out and becomes illegible. He
added the amount of the fine should be included on the sign as a
further deterrent from illegally using handicapped spaces.
County Manager Dotrill mentioned in order to be in compliance with
the ordinance, a metal, free-standing sign is required in addition to
the regular pavement markings or curb stop. He said the current ordi-
Page 3
August 13, 1991
rimrice does not require the cost of the fine be affixed on the face of
the st~n, adding it will be a burden on property owners if they are
required to replace them.
Commissioner Shanahen supported the position of Commissioner Hesse
and suggested that any new signs be required to state the amount of
the fine.
Patrick Stern with the Wheel Chair Commission, displayed an
example of a handicapped sign which includes notice of the $250 fine.
He agreed that showing the amount of the fine is much more of a
deterrent than simply stating a handicapped sticker is required. He
said most of the spaces in the City of Naples have these signs now.
He also addressed the allocation of funds derived from fines to the
awareness program. He said today's technology allows handicapped per-
sons to drive their own vehicles from wheelchairs, however, the
parking spaces do not allow enough room to accommodate those vehicles.
He said a car may be legally parked in the next space while at the
same time d/sallowing a handicapped person from entering or exiting
his specially equipped vehicle. He said many spaces currently provide
12 feet while 15 feet is needed. He also communicated other cities
and counties in the country have established programs that educate
volunteers to take pictures of vehicles parked illegally, which are
then forwarded to the proper authorities to issue tickets.
C~tseioner Saunders moved, seconded by Oouiseloner Shanahen and
c~rried unanimou~l¥, to close the public hearing.
C~tssioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahen and
c~'Tied un&nimousl¥, to approve the ordinance mmending Ordinance 90-4?
with the ch&nges requested by Staff and with the requirement for
fnture signs to include notice of the $250 fine, thereby adopting the
Ordin~nce u nu~hered and titled below and entered into Ordinance Book

!~OLUTIO~ 91-517 PROVIDIN~ DIT~MINATIO~ THAT P~TITIOI~ FUD-84-30(4)
AND DOA-01-4, ~ TO THH VIN~YARD~ OF NAPLES PUD AND DRI, DO
NOT CONNTITUT~ A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 28, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to determine if Petitions
PUD-84-30(4) and DOA-91-4, amendment to the Vineyards of Naples PUD
and DRI, constitute a substantial deviation.
Planner Milk communicated Staff is requesting the Board of County
Commissioners to determine if PUD-84-30(4) and DOA-91-4 amendment to
the Vineyards of Naples PUD and DRI constitute a substantial
d~vtation. He reported the Vineyards of Naples is a 1,925 acre PUD,
approved in May, 1985, which allows 460,000 square feet of commercial,
3,071 residential single-family units and 3,907 multi-family units.
He noted the petitioner is proposing an amendment to the PUD document
and the Master Plan as well as the Development Order. He explained
the principle change is the addition of 140,000 square feet of commer-
cial area to the commercial land use designation, increasing the maxi-
milm square footage from 460,000 to 600,000 square feet and adding a
12C-room hotel/motel.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Planner Milk concurred that the
residential area will be reduced. He said with regard to traffic
impacts, a traffic analysis was done which compared existing develop-
ment with what was originally proposed and what is being currently
planned. He mentioned several analyses were done not only to identify
the reduction in traffic, but the reduction in essential services for
water, sewer and schools. He concluded Staff, the Regional Planning
Council and the Department of Gommunity Affairs have reviewed all
documents and recommend there is no substantial deviation. In fact,
he said, there is a reduction in impacts to the overall development
based on the addition of 140,000 square feet and a 120-room hotel with
the reduction of 1,300 dwelling units.
Planner Milk indicated the petitioner is also asking to eliminate
Page 5
August 13, 1991
two existing access points, §th Avenue NW and 4th Avenue SW, from
Arbor Boulevard onto Logan Boulevard. He explained the Vineyards com-
mitted to redesigning their two mile roadway from Pine Ridge Road
north to Vanderbilt Beach Road, however, they now want to make Arbor
Boulevard a private roadway. He said Staff is in agreement with the
request.
Commissioner Volpe communicated his concern with eliminating
the roadways which would have provided an additional north/south
corridor between Pine Ridge Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road in the ori-
Ginal proposal. He related the commitment was made to accommodate
residents in the adjacent Estates area so they would have access to
Pine Ridge Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road.
Planner Milk explained Vineyards Boulevard and Logan Boulevard are
approximately one mile apart and in Staff's opinion, there is no need
for a third north/south corridor in that area. In addition, he said,
Logan Boulevard is proposed to be four-laned in the future.
Commissioner Hasse asked if emergency vehicles will have adequate
access to the Vineyards7 Planner Milk replied emergency services will
ultimately have access to the entire site from Napa Boulevard and
Vineyards Boulevard.
Oommissioner Volpe recalled that a portion of Arbor Boulevard was
vacated in the past year, not the entire length. He said the issue
then was whether vacation of the entire roadway would be a substantial
deviation.
Michael Saadeh, representing the petitioner, explained the portion
of Arbor Boulevard that has been vacated to date was the portion that
was constructed at the time. He said the balance could not be vacated
because it was not constructed and the petitioner had a commitment to
construct the two connectors. He agreed with Staff that the ideal
solution is to vacate the two connectors, remove the obligation from
the PUD Document and construct the remainder of Arbor Boulevard as a
private roadway.
Barbara Gawle¥ with Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc., repre-
Page 6
August 13, 199~
senting the petitioner, communicated the issue of substantial
deviation deals w~th traffic. She said the analysis included the two
deletions of those access points, and the traffic impacts associated
with those two deletions were factored into the entire substantial
deviation analysis to determine that the traffic impacts were less.
Planner Milk continued, stating the petitioner would also like to
add 4.76 acres to the total proJect's commercial land use acreage. He
said those acres reverted to the Vineyards project by way of Collier
Gounty Resolution 90-338 when they were not needed for the 1-75
interchang~ right-of-way. He said the PUD Master Plan is currently
1,925.4 acres in size and the addition of the 4.76 acres would
increase the project to 1,930.16 acres. In conclusion, he said, based
on the criteria set forth in Florida Statute, it is Staff's recommen-
dation that these amendments do not constitute a substantial
deviation.
Jim Zilltgen, resident of the V~neyards, communicated his support
for the proposed amendments.
Commissioner Volpe indicated as part of the previous commitment,
the developer agreed to improve 4th Avenue SW and 5th Avenue NW. He
asked if the developer now feels any obligation to improve those road-
ways?
Mr. Saadeh noted 5th Avenue NW has been paved by the developer and
in his opinion, the developer would have no objection to paving 4th
Avenue SW.

Glerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition No.
PUD-84-30(4), (Gompanton to Petition DOA-91-4), filed by Barbara
Henderson Cawle¥, of Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc., representing
the Vineyards Development Corporation, requesting a Planned Unit
Development amendment to the Vineyards of Naples PUD.
Planner Milk presente~ Petition PUD-84-30(4), companion to
Petition DOA-91-4. He said both petitions have exactly the same
language incorporated into the PUD Document. He noted as presented in
the insubstantial deviation determination, the Vineyards ls asking for
an additional 140,000 square feet of commercial and a hotel/motel use
while reducing the number of residential dwelling units from 6,978 by
1,370 for a total of 5,608 units. He mentioned this will result in
a reduction of 954 units from the currently approved 3,071 single
family units, of which 103 are built at this time. He said multi-
family units will be reduced from 3,907 to 3,491 units, adding that
264 units are in existence this date. He stated the PUD Document is
being amended to incorporate the R-1 and R-2 land use classifications
Into the Residential category, to establish a Village Square Center
adjacent to the Vineyards Middle School, to provide minimum rights-of-
way for public and private roads and to reflect the necessary regula-
tory standards applicable to today's governing ordinance. Also, he
said, the PUD Document is being amended to eliminate the CIC
Interchange Commercial District and replace it with the Commercial
District. Me explained this is now an approved activity center by
virtue of the Growth Management Plan, therefore, the developer will
Page 8
August 13, 1991
be allowed to have the flexibility to encourage numerous commercial
uses to satisfy both the Vineyards and the traveling public.
Planner Milk provided the Board with additional language changes
dealing with polling places. (Copy on file with the Clerk to the
Board.) He requested the language be added as Section 207 in the PUD
Document.
Planner Milk also requested Section 2.05 B) be changed to read,
"Site Development Plan approval may be used to identify the specific
development standards from the Collier County Zoning Ordinance in
effect at the time building permits are sought for any uses that do
not clearly fall within the general standards of this document." He
then referred to Section 4.02 B)3), to be amended to state, "All deve-
lopment standards shall be in accordance with the Collier County
Zoning Regulations in effect at the time which building permits are
requested unless otherwise specified herein."
Planner Milk continued with proposed language changes to Sections
8.02 D)2), General Development Commitments; 6.02 A)3), Golf Course;
3.03 A)4), Residential; and 5.02 A(3), Commercial/Retail. (Copy on
file with the Clerk to the Board.)
Mary Morgan, Supervisor of Elections, communicated her concern
with regard to the proposed language dealing with polling places. She
indicated her understanding that the developer was to ensure, when
property was sold to churches, that the churches would agree to be
utilized as polling places. She stated that language has not been
mentioned in the proposed amendments.
Pam Mac'Kie with Cummings and Lockwood, representing the peti-
tioner, commented that a PUD is a public record and as such, the com-
mitment of common areas to be used as polling places ensures that Ms.
Morgan's rights are protected in that regard. She also mentioned the
proposed language is derived from the County's model PUD.
Ms. Morgan reiterated her concern that churches be required to
provide space for polling areas in the future should the need arise
from within the Vineyards development, but not limited to that pro-
Page 9
August 13, 1991
Commissioner Volpe agreed with Ms. Morgan's concern and asked if
additional language may be Inserted to make sure adequate polling
areas are available?
Ms. Mac'Kle reported the Village Square section of the PUD Is
designed for those kind of community center activities.
Commissioner Shanahen questioned if the language being considered
in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) includes further protec-
tion for future polling places7
Planner Nino stated the PUD section of the proposed ULDC includes
a requirement for polling places. He said the Board can direct Staff
to improve the language to address the specific concerns of Ms.
Morgan.

Ms. Mac'Kte stated that can be accomplished by amending the PUD to
add the lan~age as proposed by Staff.

~ CAMIN~ EXFAI~ION AND 8T~ A~0RZZED TO PR~EED ~ZTH
~, ~~I~ ~ CO~U~ION OF ~SE I ~R P~ZNG LOT
Tom Conrecode, Office of Capital Projects Management Director,
presented options for the Board to consider regarding a conceptual
master plan for the 9.58 acre campus expansion. He recalled the Board
reviewed a proposal in May, 1991, which included initial parking lot
construction in anticipation of additional administration buildings
and water management, and which suggested the sale of two out-parcels
along U.S. 41 as a potential source of construction funding in the
future. He said at that tlme, the Friends of the Museum presented the
Board with another alternative which included expansion of the Museum
property. He indicated as a result, Staff was directed to work with
the Friends of the Museum in an attempt to develop a workable option
for both parties. He reported a Joint proposal was subsequently deve-
loped which accommodates the proposed expansion of the Museum site,
allows for centrally located parking expansion, provides entrance
along U.S. 41 and future administrative building sites. He said the
County will dedicate 2.005 acres of property to the Museum expansion
under this plan, which also requires an additional 0.9 acre along U.S.
41 to be set aside for stormwater retention. He advised Staff is
recommending a fast-tracked program for design, permitting and
construction of the parking Improvements. He noted the fiscal impact
is approximately $565,000, and will cover the basics for parking,
lighting and landscaping. He added the site plan which accompanies
this proposal includes dedication of property with approximate value
of $802,000 to the Museum expansion. He said another cost of $360,000
is associated with the relocation of water management. He concluded
Staff is requesting direction from the Board regarding the conceptual
plan and development of the campus expansion property, as well as
directing Staff to proceed with the design, permitting and construc-
tion associated with the Phase I improvements.
Page 13
August ~3, 1991
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Conrecode stated Phase I
includes on-grade parking rather than a parking garage.
Gommissioner Volpe noted his reservations because it is not cost
effective to build an on-grade parking lot with landscaping, etc.,
which will then be torn up in a few years in order to start building
vertically. He recalled discussing the possibility of construction of
the first phase as the bottom level with fill material rather than
actually pavinG the area.
Mr. Conrecode commented a number of alternatives have been
investigated including the completion of the parking facility design
and placing the foundation at the time of placing the on-grade impro-
vements. In every case, he said, the cost has been prohibitive to
doing anything other than a simple, low grade quality asphalt.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Conrecode indicated Staff
anticipates the next level of parking will be requested in the next
four to six years. He said all stormwater drainage, road alignments
and paving improvements are part of the long range plan. He said the
portion of this expenditure that will not be usable for the next phase
is part of the parkinG area that will be cut through to put in a foun-
dation, which encompasses approximately 20% of this proposal.
Commissioner Volpe commented on whether it may be more appropriate
to consider an off-site location for the Museum rather than dedication
of close to $1-millton of property.
Commissioner Saunders inquired how far into the future will the
Gounty be served with the land available if the Museum project is
approved?
County Manager Dorrill stated at the rate of current pro3ected
growth and anticipating construction of an additional tower building
in the next lO years, there is further space adjacent to the Jail
expansion for some type of facility. He estimated with approval of
this plan, the remaining land is adequate for 20 years.
Commissioner Hasse asserted the Museum needs additional space
immediately. He said enhancinG the Museum is one of the finest things
Page 14
August 13, 1991
the Board can do for the community which will also improve the
atmosphere of the County Government complex.
Commissioner Shanahan stated Le is in favor of expanding the
Museum, however, agreed with the practical approach of Commissioner
Volpe in terms of planninG for the future.
Chris Lombardo with the Friends of the Museum, stated if the
opportunity ever arises to move the Museum to an even better location,
the Friends of the Museum will consider an alternative, however, at
the current time they are unaware of any such opportunities. He asked
the Board to look at the immediate future of the Museum. He provided
the Board with a summary of the proposed site development plan and
listed various minor and major elements of the expansion, which will
include an amphitheater to accommodate close to 2,000 people,
IncludinG seating for 500. He indicated he is sensitive to the con-
cern with regard to location, however, the Museum provides a vital
benefit to Collier County. He suggested there will be no better place
to tell the history of Collier County than at the County seat.
Don Cahtll, architect, commented on the plan being presented by
the Friends of the Museum. He said the green areas the Museum now
provides on the Government campus will be even more important when
more buildings are constructed. He said in the lonG term, the Museum
will have branch campuses of its own in strategic areas of the County,
however, it is appropriate that these elements be situated in the
Government Complex.
Commissioner Volpe remarked the area identified as the proposed
.65 acre lake is at the proposed intersection of U.S. 41, which is a
commercial piece of property. He mentioned previous discussion of the
Board with regard to the economic value of that parcel of land which
could be used to defray some of the costs associated with these impro-
vements. He pointed out that any opportunity to utilize that valuable
piece of property will be lost by agreeing to the Museum's water
retention plan.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Conrecode stated the propo-
Page 15
August 13, 1991
sal is to have the current signalized exit of Walmart become a signa-
lized intersection.
With regard to the value of property being yielded to the M;useum
for expansion, Mr. Cahtll calculated the cost at $260,000 rather than
$1-mtllton.
Tina 0sceola presented a letter from the Chairman of the Seminole
Tribe of Florida in support of the Collier County Museum. (Copy on
file with the Clerk to the Board.) She stated the commitment of her
family and the Seminole Tribe to the expansion of the Collier County
Museum.
Lodge McKee, Director of the Friends of the Museum and the Collier
County Historical Society, supported a commitment on the part of the
County to the Museum site. He stated having the Museum within the
County Complex is a very appropriate mix of land uses and will provide
transitional areas between the most intense portion of the complex and
the abutting residential area.
Tom Olliff, Assistant to the County Manager, noted an issue for
the Board's consideration is the possibility of the County Complex
becoming a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). He said one of the
advantages of this proposal is the green space factor when going
through the DRI process. Secondly, he said, the costs associated with
this project are lost opportunity type costs rs. out-of-pocket expen-
ses. He said the decision to approve this proposal will not affect
the budget, rather it will affect the opportunity costs that are lost
that may force the County to look at other expansion possibilities,
i.e., building on to existing one-story buildings.
Commissioner Saunders indicated Commissioner Volpe's concerns
regarding the best use of property are well taken, however, it is evi-
dent that the land available will be sufficient for the next 20 years,
even with the Museum expansion.

Commissioner Volpe indicated he has been pursuaded by the
discussion that has taken place. He questioned if the available
$56§,000 will be sufficient for all costs of the water management
system, road improvements and the on-grade parking facility?
County Manager Dotrill responded those monies will cover the costs
for the realigned entrance road, 500 additional surface level parkin9
spaces and the associated landscapin9 and retention required for those
spaces.

Item ~liC
Real Property Director Taylor advised that the Golden Gate Estates
Citizens Advisory Committee has been meeting monthly since July, 1990
to consider the YMCA project and provide for a recreational facility
in Golden Gate Estates. She added that the YMCA Development Committee
has been meeting since January, 1991, on a monthly basis to discuss
the specific site selection of which several sites were reviewed. She
noted that on April 9, 1991 staff was authorized by the Board of
County Commissioners to research available sites and proceed with an
amendment process for the Golden Gate area Master Plan. She informed
that a letter of no objection from Avatar Properties, Inc. dated March
1, 1991, was submitted for the record. She commented that several
newspaper accounts have been written regarding the different site
locations for the YMCA. She reported that members of the YMCA pre-
sented information on the proposed YMCA in April, 1991, to the Golden
Gate Civic Association; in May, 1991, to the Golden Gate Chamber of
Commerce; and in June, 1991, to the Golden Gate Rotary Club; however,
the exact site location was not disclosed due to the difficulties
foreseen in negotiating with several property owners to accumulate a
20 acre site given the GAC Land Trust limited funds. She related that
on July 2S, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
99
Page 17
August 13, 1991
agreement of sale and purchase for the Combs parcel.
Commissioner Hasse expressed his concern regarding the purchase of
the Combs property for the YMCA slte. He explained that a map
depicting the property locations considered for the YMCA site should
have been made available ~o the Commission before actual selection was
made.
Commissioner Volpe concurred with Commissioner Hasse and added
that he thought that the agreement for purchase of the Combs property
was contingent on a provisional use request to be brought back before
the Board for the actual YMCA site.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Assistant County Attorney
Cronin advised that the agreement as approved with the added language
regarding the environmental evaluation on July 23, 1991 by the Board
of County Commissioners has been executed. He noted that the environ-
mental evaluation is currently being processed. He related that the
agreement states that closing will be within 60 days of execution and
there is a liquidated damages provision in the contract which states
that 5% of the purchase price will be paid by the County.
Commissioner Shanahah commented that there is question whether the
Combs property fronts on C.R. 951 providing for access from C.R. 951.
Mr. Cronin indicated on a display map where the property is located
which shows that it does front C.R. 951; however, the map reveals that
a substantial portion of the land fronts other streets in the area.
Commissioner Hasse asserted that this location was not related
clearly to the Board or the people of area at the July 23, 1991,
hearing.
Ms. Taylor clarified that the subject site is four, five acre
tracts with 10 acres abutting C.R. 951, 5 acres abutting First Avenue,
North, and § acres abutting First Avenue, South. She described the
parcel as in a "T" shape. County Manager Dotrill added that the map
depicting the subject parcel was included in the July 23, 1991, agenda
packet.
Commissioner Volpe reiterated the comments made that the exact
Page 18
August 13, 1991
site location for the YMCA was not revealed due to difficulties in
negotiating a purchase price for 20 acres which makes it apparent that
the people directly effected were not made aware of the decision to
Identify this site for the YMCA facility.
Commissioner Hasse expressed his desire to have this issue reheard
and continued that he questions whether the County can commit to use
the GAC funds for this purchase.
County Attorney Cuyler responded that as stated at a previous
hearinG on this subject the YMCA will need to work with the County
to meet the requirements for the use of funds from the GAC Trust.
Commissioner GoodniGht conveyed that a 1990 survey conducted in
the Golden Gate Estates area indicated that the money from the GAC
Trust Fund should be used for recreational facilities which was
related to the Golden Gate Advisory Land Trust Committee. After
discussions with the schools and Parks and Recreation Department, she
remarked, the decision was made to approach the YMCA to operate a
recreational facility in the Golden Gate Estates area. She emphasized
that the proposal has always been that the property would be owned by
the County with the buildings built to County specifications and
leased to the YMCA. She pointed out that this project has been care-
fully planned, and a reheating of this issue should be addressed at
the time of the Golden Gate Master Plan Amendment hearing.
After much discussion regarding the appropriate time to reheat
this Issue, it was the consensus of the Board to hear the views of the
citizens present regardinG this issue.
$$* ltlcllled: 12:20 P.N. - Rmconvsnsd: 12:25 P.N.
Mr. Louis Erickson stated that as an attorney he has been asked by
the citizens of Golden Gate to research the legal issues in regards to
the Avatar funds. He admitted that language contained in the
Agreement relating to the Avatar funds which identifies the use of
these funds is vague. However, he pointed out that a letter from the
Executive Vice President, General Council of Avatar Properties, dated
Page 19
August 13, 1991
January 28, 1991 to the County's Real Property Director states the
YMCA organization is a non-profit organization, therefore, does not
meet the intent and/or strict interpretation of the requirements of
the Agreement. He acknowledged that Avatar followed with another
letter of no objection per the request of the County.
Mr. Jim Colletta stated that as Chairman of the Golden Gate Master
Plan Steering Committee it has been emphasized that the major concern
of the citizens of Golden Gate was provisional use which they
understand their Master Plan is to control. He added that the GAC
Trust money was intended for the citizens with no charge associated
with the purpose for which it is used such as a park that is open to
the general public and has no restriction as to the income of a
family.
In response to Commissioner Hasse regarding what the land could be
used for that is located directly adjacent to the property proposed
for the YMCA facility, Mr. Colletta alleged that residential use is
not suitable.
Commissioner Volpe questioned if the Golden Gate Master Plan
amendment as proposed regarding this issue is to seek provisional use
for the subject parcel7 Ms. Cacchlone explained that the amendment is
to include certain language in the Master Plan to allow a community
recreational facility which could be either public or non-profit to be
located within Golden Gate based on specific criteria, and if the
facility met the criteria then the process of a conditional use or
rezoning to PUD would need to be completed. She Identified that the
specific criteria to be met include that the property would have to
be a minimum of 10 acres and a maximum of 35 acres, located on a
arterial or collector roadway, be compatible with the surrounding
area, and have the appropriate landscaping consistent with the area.
Mr. Mark Strain, Vice Chairman of the Golden Gate Estates Citizen
Advisory Board, commented that there are three choices that can be
made regarding the proposed property which include selling the pro-
perty, trying to obtain the provisional use required for the YMCA
000 102 Page 20
August 13, 1991
facility, or relinquishing the property to its current owner and pay
the penalty cost. He acknowledged that the YMCA facility is something
that has been discussed and planned for Golden Gate for some time;
however, this particular location was not communicated to the public
as the designated site for the YMCA. He continued with a prepared
statement which indicated that the GAC Trust money is to be used for
governmental facilities only within the geographical boundary of
Golden Gate Estates, and pointed out that the YMOA is not a governmen-
tal facility. He also noted that the proposed location of the YMCA is
in opposition to the Golden Gate Master Plan, and if the funds can be
Justified for this use, then the facility should be located in a
designated activity center where it will be allowed.
Ms. Lee Mast, speaking as a resident of Golden Gate Estates and
for her neighbors, stated that she does not feel that the residents
surrounding the proposed site location should be submitted to having a
facility of this type located next to them, and added that this faci-
lity should be limited to those permitted areas.
Commissioner Goodnight requested that the citizens from Golden
Gate Estmtes present that are in opposition to the proposed location
for the YMCA facility raise their hands to which they complied.
Mr. Ray Miller, President of the Operating Board of the YMCA,
informed that the site selection for the YMCA has been in progress for
some time, and added that one difficulty the Committee has had is
finding properties that are contiguous. He cited that the proposed
site has the required 20 acres, was offered for sale below the
appraised value, has an existing traffic signal at C.R. 951 and
Golden Gate Boulevard, and the bike paths are already in place along
this property. He emphasized that the YMCA will be an operating
entity only, not the land owner. He noted that the YMCA ts embarking
on a new fundraising campaign, and it presently does not know whether
to include this site in it. He affirmed that the "Y" is receptive to
working with the County in negotiating an acceptable agreement with
the GAC Trust.
Page 21
August 13, 19gl
In response to Commissioner Volpe, County Attorney Cuyler stated
that if the YMCA enters into an agreement with the County and the "Y"
basically provides a facility similar to a governmental recreation
function, there should be no legal problems; however, he pointed out
that at this time this agreement has not been established. He added
that the County can also go to Court and obtain a declaratory Judgment
if that is needed.
Commissioner Goodnight interjected that she has just been informed
that Mr. Combs is willing to allow the County to forfeit the contract
with no penalty imposed.
Commissioner Saunders suggested that staff be advised to proceed
with the process of acquiring the sub]ect site for the location of the
YMCA, and bring it back before the Board for a public hearing
addressing the issues raised. County Attorney Guylet concurred, and
added that if no action is taken today the County will have two weeks
to talk to Mr. Combs regarding the contract.
Ms. Taylor affirmed that she will negotiate with Mr. Combs during
the next two weeks.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 25, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Ordinance 91-76 providing
for increased and new filing fees to support County Mediation and
Arbitration Services and repealing Collier County Ordinance Nos. 87-91
and 90-34.
Assistant County Attorney Manalich informed that the proposed
Page 22
August ~3, ~991
ordinance would set forth new and increased filing fees to support the
County mediation program which is used extensively by the County.
Mr. Manaltch commented that the Executive Summary provides a brief
history of this issue. He noted that the previous two County ordinan-
ces set forth a $2.00 charge for County Court Civil filing and a $2.00
charge for Circuit Court Civil filing to support family mediation as
well as Court order mediation and arbitration services. He informed
that the new law by State Statutes enables the local governing body to
enact a $45.00 filing fee on petitions to modify Final 3udgment of
Dissolution with the fee charge being used to support the family
mediation program. He added that additionally the $2.00 charge for
County Court and Circuit Court can be increased to $§.00 per the State
Statutes. He concluded that the proposed ordinance incorporates the
changes of including a $45.00 filing fee for petitions to modify
Final Judgment of Dissolution and the increase to $5.00 for filing
fees.
Mr. Manalich pointed out that there are two changes in the pro-
posed ordinance from what was advertised which are that the term
accounts be used in place of funds or trust funds for the charges
collected; and that if the new legislation is enacted, $1.00 of the
$5.00 fee will be applied toward the Office of the State Courts
Administrator. He advised that this funding source for the mediation
and arbitration services can be retroactive to October, 1990,,because
this is when the new law was made available.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mediator Gardino stated that no
direct proposals were submitted for discussion during the budget
workshops in regards to this funding resource. Mr. Manalich declared
that according to the Finance Director fees have in the past been put
into a general revenue account.
Finance Director Yonkosky interjected that presently the revenue
resource for this funding is budgeted at $10,000 and with the new
ordinance it will increase to $25,000.
Page 23
August 13, 1991
Attorney Van Arsdale, of Asbell, Hains, Doyle, and Pickworth who
is also a member of and speaking for the Family Law section of the
Collier County Bar Association, stated that they are very much in
favor of the proposed ordinance. She advised that the proposed ordi-
nance will enable the program to continue to the benefit of the people
of the community. She explained that before a case goes to Court it
is referred to a mediator who many times resolves the issue without
having to bring it before a Judge and also saves the individuals
involved a considerable amount of money.
In response to a concern expressed by Commissioner Hasse, Mr.
Yonkosky stated that the proposed ordinance will not increase any
expenditures for the County, but rather it provides new revenues to
offset the existing expenses for this program.
Attorney Thompson of the firm Boardman, Thompson and Smith
expressed his support for the proposed ordinance.

Office of Capital Projects Management Director Conrecode informed
that this item is a recommendation relative to access improvements on
ml 000 , 108 Page
August 13, 1991
the $abal Palm Road extension MSTU. He noted that on January 26,
1988, the Board of County Commissioners entered into an Agreement for
Professional Services with Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. to per-
form a feasibility study for roadway and drainage improvements within
the Sabal Palm Road Extension, MSTU. He continued that on August 21,
1990, the Board of County Commissioners directed that the feasibility
study be suspended and that an investigation be conducted to establish
a reasonable access program for current residents. He commented that
the Executive Summary provides the number of residences within the
MSTU boundary. He pointed out on the display map the area being con-
sidered for access improvements which is the first 3-1/4 miles. He
advised that staff developed three options for improvements in this
MSTU. He related that the first option is to do nothing with the
exception of routine base course maintenance; however, this will not
provide any necessary drainage across the roadway. He reported that
option two involves improving the road consistent with the plans pre-
pared by Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. which is estimated to
cost approximately $1,8000000 per mile. He disclosed that in working
with the South Florida Water Management District the third option was
developed which considers building several "fords" to provide for the
historical runoff and will not require any additional right-of-way.
He specified that this third option will also provide for additional
stabilized subgrade and an eighteen foot wide paved surface. He added
that mitigation is not anticipated with the third option as it is
required by the second option. He pointed out that although it will
be required to obtain a permit from the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD), staff has received positive indications that the
conceptual plan will be approved. He advised that it is not certain
at this time whether the Florida Department of Environmental
Regulations or the Army Corps of Engineers would claim 3urisdlction;
but if they do claim Jurisdiction, he added, their requirements would
be similar to SFWMD. He informed that staff recommends implementing
option three. He related that all costs associated with the design
Page 25
August 13, 1991
and construction of the proposed improvements shall be paid by special
assessment against the benefited property owners. He noted that these
improvements are consistent with the comprehensive plan. He recom-
mended that if option three is approved, staff proceed with the first
mile only within the MSTU.
In response to Commissioner Hasss, Assistant to the County Manager
Olliff explained that after analyzing the number of housing units
within the first three miles it was found that the majority of them
exist within the first mile, therefore, staff recommended to proceed
with one mile instead of the 3-1/4 miles as noted in the Executive
Summary.
Commissioner Shanahan conveyed that he feels that a 3-1/4 mile
improvement should be considered to which Commissioner Goodnight con-
curred.
Responding to Commissioner Volpe's question, Mr. Conrecode
informed that the total cost of the 3-1/4 miles will be approximately
$872,586.00.
The following people spoke in favor of completing 3-1/4 miles of
improvements on Sabal Palm Road:
$oe Townsend
Andy Campbell
Don Myers
~enneth J. Sleeth
Elton E. Townsend
Rick Jaeger
Jim McTague
ThE following reasons were cited for proceeding with 3-1/4 miles
of improvements on Sabal Palm Road: The landowners of the subject
area compromised with staff agreed to the 3-1/4 miles of improvements
and do not feel it is right to have the number of miles changed at the
last minute; it is not possible to obtain a loan from a bank to build
a house on property along an unimproved road; the road is used by and
is beneficial to County agencies; the landowners within the Sabal Palm
Road Extension MSTU should be allowed to improve the road since they
are paying for It; the road is in desperate need of repair and the
Page 26
August 13, 1991
people of this area are willing to pay to have it repaired in order to
have sufficient access to their property; It Is an Injustice to the
other landowners in this area to l'epatr the road for only one mile;
better access is needed In the case of fires; it Is not cost efficient
to build one mile and then later do the rest; with a more acceptable
drainage system, less environmental problems may occur; and the pro-
petty owners cannot develop the land agriculturally without an accep-
table road.
In response to Commissioner $hanahan0 Mr. Conrecode reiterated
that the reason staff suggested only paving the one mile is because
after an analysis of the area it was found that within the first mile,
six property owners benefit from the improvement, however, for the
next two miles there are no residential units and the next 1/4 mile
provides for three additional residences. He explained that staff
concluded it was not cost effective to pave beyond the one mile. He
added that this analysis and recommendation was made based on direc-
tion staff received from the Board of County Commissioners in August,
1990.
County Manager Dotrill responded to Commissioner Volpe's question
by advising that $abal Palm Road is not in the County's long range
plan because it is outside the current urban development line.
Mr. Joe Townsend volunteered that the property owners along Sabal
Palm Road are willing to pay for the County's staff time and main-
tensrice for the road.
Commissioner Volpe asserted that it appears that the MSTU should
be re-analyzed to ensure that the people who are contributing to the
MSTU are actually benefiting from it. He added that with the obvious
difficulties presented in obtaining permits to build the road, it does
not seem feasible 'to proceed with the project.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 23, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication flied with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an ordinance amending
Collier County Ordinance No. 87-100, as amended, which created the
Lely Golf Estates Beauttftcation Municipal Service Taxing Unit.
Office of Capital Projects Management Director Conrecode requested
that this Item and Item #6C3 be presented together since they are an
either/or option with regard to the Lely Golf Estates Beautlftcatton
Municipal Service Taxing Unit.
Mr. Conrecode remarked that this is a public hearing to consider
the adoption of an ordinance providing for a temporary millage
increase through a referendum or Board action relating to the Lely
Golf Estates Beautiftcatton MSTU.
Mr. Conrecode stated that on June 11, 1991, authorization was
requested from the Commission to advertise a public hearing to con-
sider an Increase in the maximum allowable tax levy for the Lely MSTU,
noting that the Board directed staff to come back with the two
Page 29
August 13, 1991
options.
Mr. Conrecode advised that revenue in the amount of $54,600 is
generated by the current one mill rate and the proposed millage
increase would provide additional revenue in the amount of $109,200
on an annual basis for three years which would result in a total addi-
tional revenue of $327,600 based upon the stipulated duration of the
millage increase. He announced that staff is recommending that the
Board adopt the ordinance, amending Collier County Ordinance 87-100,
as amended, providing for a temporary millage increase and referendum
election in the Lely Golf Estates Beautification MSTU.
Com~issioner Shanaban remarked that everyone in the Lely Golf
Estates area is not in support of this issue, however, indicating
that a number of people involved with the Beauttfication Committee do
support same. He reported that he has received three calls this date,
within an hour, from persons protesting this approach and desiring the
referendum approach.
Mr. Arthur Pearson stated that the average home in Lely is
approximately $1§0,000 and the cost per each property owner would be
$300 per year for a three year period which would complete the project
in 2.33 years, otherwise, it would take 46 years staying with the pre-
sent term.
Mr. Conrecode explained that the first three medians are completed
and it is proposed that medians 4 through 22 be completed over the
next 2.33 years.
Attorney John Hooley, member of the Lely Civic Association Board,
spoke in favor of the assessment, with mixed feelings. He indicated
that he will be paying approximately $600 over the three period. He
noted that he believes that he has an obligation to the people in Lely
and those who have been paying assessments up until this time, and
requested that the Commission approve the additional assessment for
the three year period.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Attorney Hooley replied that he
feels that the residents have a right to a referendum but the cost of
Page 30
August 13, 1991
sa~e ~ay be counter productive.
Mr. Conrecode explained that it is estimated that the cost for a
mail ballot would be $5,000.
Attorney Hooley indicated that there has been an assessment that
portions of Lely have received benefit from same, but other portions
of Lely are not covered by the beautification.
Mr. Robert Jehring remarked that in 1987, the residents of Lely
voted in 1/4 mill, in 1988 the Commission raised this to I mill and
now a request is being made to increase the assessment to 3 mills. He
indicated that the residents should be allowed to vote on this issue.
Mr. Pearson advised that newsletters and briefings have been sent
to every resident in Lely Golf Estates. He indicated that 2 mills is
being reqn/ested but insisted that a grandfather clause of a three year
maximum be included and at the end of that time, the millage be
reduced to ! mill. He stated that it is anticipated that there will
be an 85~ water consumption reduction when the project is completed.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned the length of time involved to
go with a mail ballot, to which Mr. Conrecode replied that he antici-
pates it would take about two months but would need to be discussed
with Supervisor of Elections Morgan.
Commissioner Hasse advised that he is not comfortable with
assessing the residents of Lely Golf Estates, without providing them
the opportttnity to express their desires in this regard.
Commissioner Volpe indicated that he is in favor of submitting the
guestion to the electorate to determine the will of the majority.
Technical Services Supervisor Huber explained that Supervisor of
Elections Morgan needs a 120 day minimum prior to the actual mailing
out of the ballot and the $5,000 needs to be received upfront. He
offered another option of placing this issue on the primary election
next spring and the cost would be much less than $§,000.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated that he is reluctant, without some
form of a straw vote or ballot to take action on this issue. He
explained that if there could be a mail ballot with S1~ in support of
Page 31
August 13, 1991
increasing the millage, it would be easy to vote in favor of same.
Commissioner Volpe cited that he is in favor of the mall ballot.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 28, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed by the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition V-91-8, filed by
Santos N. Osornio, requesting a 25 foot variance from the required 25
foot front yard setback to 0 feet, in a C-4 Zone, for property located
at 311 Boston Avenue, Immokalee Florida.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt advised that
this item is a request for a 25 foot variance of a non-conforming
structure which has been in existence for approximately 45 years. He
indicated that the petitioner proposes to improve the building as a
boarding house for m/grant labor activities and noted that he has
changed his request from a 25 foot variance to a 12.5 foot variance.
Mr. Brutt provided a copy of a plot plan of the sub3ect site. He
related that during the hearing before the Planning Commission, the
petitioner reduced his variance request to 12.5 feet. He reported
that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the reduced
variance request and staff concurs with same.
Mr. Brutt stated that this particular building is located in the
Central Business of Immokalee where there has been a change in the
parking requirements. He explained that even with the addition of the
building, the parking requirements would be met.
Attorney Ken Thompson, representing the Petitioner, advised that
the bar will be removed and the building will be utilized as a migrant
labor camp to be regulated under County Codes and Federal rules and
regulations. He indicated that there is a fenced in area and the
building will be concrete block with one main entryway. He reported
that an office will be constructed to control the inflow of people
coming into the building. He noted that his client provides addi-
tional overflow capacity for the local churches by providing beds for
migrant workers.

Coutsstoner Goodnight announced that this is an area located in
the southern portion of Immokalee and mtgran~ farm labor housing is
something that has to be a part of an agricultural community. She
related that it is far better for these people to spend $5 or $6 per
night for a bed rather than sleeping in the palmettos. She noted that
only men will be housed in th~s facility and it will provide an
opport~ity for them to have a place to sleep at night while they are
working in Immokalee during the season.
Oo~tss~oner Shanahan remarked that he feels that this building

Community Development Services Administrator Brutt explained that
this item is a recommendation to adopt a Resolution amending the
established Growth Management Plan Amendment process. He revealed
that previously, the Plan amendments were transmitted to the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) at one time of the year and the
Capital Improvement Program was transmitted at another time of the
year. He reported that DCA has advised that when the Capital
Improvement is updated, that it be submitted along with the Plan
amendments at the same time. He noted that this will move the process
up by a two month period and a savings of $1,400 would be realized.

an annual cycle to amend the amendments to the Plan. He reported that
the Planning Commission has set a public hearing for September 5, 1991

Engineering Project Manager Ryztw, requested approval to enter
Into a contract with Agnolt, Barber & Brundage, Inc. for design and
permitting of four-laning improvements to Illth Avenue (Vanderbilt
Drive to U.S. 41), relative to CIE Project No. 001. He explained that
staff has negotiated a lump sum price of $229,997 with the subject
firm.
Mr. Ryziw advised that the contract is based on 432 calendar days,
and relates to roadway, drainage and pavement marking design,
reimbursable expenses, permitting, highway lighting system, 30~ preli-
minary phase of the project, and the cost for subconsultants.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Ryztw indicated that this
roadway is currently operating at Level of Service (LOS) "C" which
equates to a little less than 7,500 vehlcles per day travelinG on this
roadway. He noted that the targeted construction date is 1995 but the
AUIR references a date of 1998.
Gommieeloner Volpe remarked that the County is hard pressed for
Page 37
August 13, 1991
dollars and ultimately, $3 million is required for this project. He
suggested that staff look at prioritizing these dollars which possibly
should be spent someplace else.
Mr. Ryztw stated that the dally traffic counts on this roadway
will increase due to the land growth and in order to Justify construc-
tion of the project based on the current LOS standards, 4,000 addi-
tional vehicles per day will be added during the next five years which
would warrant construction of this highway from a Growth Management
standpoint. He explained that the adequate lead time that is needed
to acquire the rights-of-way is a matter that is very critical. He
reported that the current dollars for right-of-way could be expended
based on current market values. In addition, he related that environ-
mental permitting associated with transportation projects many times
exceeds the design period by two or three times.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald explalnWd that
?.6~ of the total project is allocated for design. He divulged that
not only is there a lot to be gained dollar wise in being able to
acquire right-of-way in advance, but there is not sufficient money in
a project like this to assemble enough dollars to undertake a
construction project. He remarked that if the $230,000 is taken from
this project it would not be a sufficient amount of money to push
ahead another prioritized project. He indicated that the monies
collected from impact fees must be used within a certain District. He
noted that the projects that are funded for construction in this par-
ticular District include Immokalee Road and Goodlefts-Frank Road. He
affirmed that those two projects are funded from Fund 399 which is the
loan that is being drawn down. He stated that these two projects will
not be affected by allocating money to design the subject project.
0o~misetoner Shanahah noted that Initially, $320,000 had been
allocated for the design of this project. He stated that he recogni-
zes the need to complete the design work early enough to complete a
project.
Co~miasioner Volpe indicated that in many instances there are con-
Page 38
August 13, 1991
currency problems but there is no currency problem with respect to
this project.
County Manager Dotrill stated that the "Shanahah Report" which is
the status of the assessment and impact fee analysis will be presented
to the Comalesion on September 3rd. He explained that the Board may
wish to continue this item for three or four weeks until the
Commission has had the opportunity to review the recommendations with
respect to increased impact fees and assessment proposals.
Commissioner Volpe remarked that he would be more comfortable if
all the funding has been committed by the Commission. He suggested
continuing this Item until after presentation of the status of the
assessment and impact fee analysis.

County Manager Dotrill explained that for the first time in a
number of years, there has been a decrease within the General Fund as
it relates to the 1/2 cent of the 5th cent of the State Sales Tax. He
indicated that overall retail spendinG in Collier County was down. He
reported that the recession has had an affect on County revenues and
it is estimated that those revenues will be down $2.13 million. He
announced that if this is going to be an established trend, he may
need to come back to the Commission in September and suggest that
further reductions be made within the General Fund for next ¥ear's
budget.
County Manager Dotrill advised that the situation in the
Transportation and Community Development Departments appear to be
essentially the same. He revealed that through the close of business
the past week, the hiring freeze has saved $1,280,?74, noting that 62
positions have been held in a frozen state.
County Manager Dotrill requested authorization to take that money,
by budget amendment, and place it back in restrictive reserve accounts
to increase the carry forward when the new fiscal year begins on
October let.
In summary, Mr. Dotrill reported that the Budget Office continues
to track the Capital side of the impact fee funds but aside from the
Library Construction Program, there are no impact fee funds that
appear to be problematic relating to the budgets that were previously
s~bmitted. He suggested that a closer review of the 1 Mill Capital
~nd be made since there may be an opportunity to defer various pro-
~ects as a means of producing ad valorem taxes for next year.
County Manager Dotrill suggested that the hiring freeze remain in
effect through the end of this fiscal year and reevaluate same at that
time.
Commissioner Shanaban noted that Finance Director Yonkosky has
000 , 173,age ,0
August 13, 1991
taken the position that the Manager is under estimating the shortfall
by several million dollars.
County Manager Dartill replied that Mr. Yankssky is questioning
the shortfalls within the impact fee categories. He indicated that he
would be happy to discuss this issue with Mr. Yankssky.
Commissioner Volpe voiced support of the hiring freeze. He
remarked that the Manager mentioned that the property tax burden may
be able to be reduced by deferring certain projects under the 1 Mill
Capital Improvement Levy. He recalled that during discussions of the
AUIR, 90~ of the i Mill Capital Improvement Levy was allocated for Non
CIE projects. He questioned whether the projects to be deferred fall
under the Non CIE category and if the savings from same could be used
for Operating Expenses within the General Fund. County Manager
Dartill replied that this could be done, but an advertised public
hearing would need to held but suggested that an alternative would be
to use this as a tax relief going into the next year. He noted that
this would be a last ditch proposal if there were to be a real slide
in sales tax receipts.
County Manager Dartill announced that cutting back on the street
lighting activities have not been positive. He indicated that 3/4 of
everything that is done from an operating budget standpoint is "people
oriented" and the main way to save money is through salaries and the
associated benefits.
Finance Director Yankssky stated that he believes that his projec-
tion of the 10 month revenue is approximately $200,000-$300,000 higher
titan the Budget africa's projections.

Court Costs due to unusual expenditures this year. He explained the
State will no lonper reimburse the County ~or witness costs and there
have been ~han~es in Statutes ~hlch require the Board to pay for
expenditures It has not paid for in the past. He reco~ended approval
of the transfer of funds.
Co~tsstoner Volpe questioned if there may be an opportunity to
recapture the costs by increasing filth9 fees? Finance Director
Yo~o8~ responded filth9 fees are ~enerally determined by State
Statute, however, as chanpes are made in those requirements, Staff
will brtn~ then before the Board as appropriate.
In response to Co~tsstoner Volpe, Finance Director Yonkosky
orated 100~ of the fines collected are used to defray these expenses.
He indicated the Clerk's Office, in ~onJun~tton ~tth the County
Attorney's O~ftce, is takin9 a very a~presstve approach tn the
tlon of imposed fines. He mentioned ~here is a current bid out for

Page 42
August 13, 1991
Marco Island Beach Renourishment District, with the intent that they
could use those monies to start the engineering services on beach
renourishment. He said this was approved with the understanding that
ad valorem taxes would be levied and Fund 301 would be repaid with
interest. He noted at the same time the Board decided, in order to
avoid the implication of dual taxation, to reimburse Marco Island for
a pro rata share of all the money that was spent in Fund 301 that
dealt with renourtshment outside Marco Island. He stated the intent
was for the Board to approve a portion of the funds to go to that
District on an annual basis. He said due to an oversight in this pro-
cess0 the Marco Island Beach Renourishment District was reimbursed
twice for $27,200. He concluded this request is for Board approval to
take $27,200 out of Fund 159 and return it to Fund 30! with accrued
interest.
