ROSS R~(L~LRDING RIVIERA GOLF ESTATES DRAINAGE DITCH - STAFF
DIR~'~ED TO PI]tFORM F~ASIBILITY STUDY, R~TURN WITHIN 60 DAYS AND
INV~TIGAT~ SHORT-TERM SOLUTION IN THE INTERIM
Mr. Frank Ross Indicated he has been appointed spokesperson for
the homeowners noted in the petition. He explained the canal
constructed in the rear portions of their lots is 20 feet wide at
minimum and widens up to 26 feet due to cave-the. He stated there are
several encroachments on their properties of fence post footings and a
large concrete abutment of approximately 16 feet in length by 9 feet
wide, which was constructed in the easement abutting property to the
east of Lot 704. He noted the homeowner of said lot has replaced his
sod twice stnce January, 1991, and his property continues to cave in
to the canal, leaving the bank precariously close to his lanai. He
cited Lots 700-707 are getting very heavy run-off from abutting pro-
parties on Cynthia Way, although none of the drainage was delineated
tn the dedication of the plat. He stated heavy drainage is also being
experienced from County Barn Road to the start of the drainage ease-
ment at Lot 707. He alleged that many cave-ins are being experienced
due to the poor design of the canal and the heavy drainage from pro-
parties to the east and north of the easement. He reported the plat
Page
April 9 199!
firmly states that all rear lot lines are to have an adjoining lO foot
drainage easement and a five foot adjoining utility easement, yet less
than two years later the County caused the developerrs agent to enter
on their properties, with no discussion or consent on the part of the
owners, and remove thousands of cubic yards from their rear yards and
construct the poorly designed canal. He asserted this is no longer a
drainage easement In accordance with the plat, rather, it is a reten-
tion canal. He requested the Board of County Commissioners direct
those responsible for the design and construction of the canal to
redesign and construct the drainage easement in accordance with the
plat. He stated that before the final design is approved, all
abutting. drainage should be reconsidered so the new design will pro-
vide for the drainage of those properties only, with none from
abutting properties. He noted that not one lot in this subdivision
has been sold since the canal was put in place, nor would any of the
petitioners have purchased lots had they known the canal would be
built through their rear yards.
Commissioner Hasse communicated he has visited the site and cannot
understand how County Staff could have permitted the concrete abutment
to encroach into the middle of a drainage canal. He urged the Board
to direct Staff to rectify the problems.
John Boldt, Water Management Director, provided the Board with
Informat~on which he stated summarized the situation. (Copy not pro-
vided to the Clerk to the Board.) He noted a large portion of the
problem relates to the way buildings were allowed to be set on the
properties. He indicated from his perspective, the zoning require-
ments are flawed, because the setback from the home is from the pro-
perty line, irrsgardless of the drainage easement. He said in this
case, a 25 foot drainage easement exists, resulting in buildings
situated within three feet of the drainage easement, which is within
three feet of the drainage canal. He remarked a person can literally
step off a back patio into the canal. He referred to Mr. Ross' com-
ments regarding misinformation having been presented to prospective
Page 6
April 9, 1991
home buyers by sales staff, who allegedly said there would only be a
grassy swale in the area of the drainage ditch. He Informed the ditch
has existed for years, there have been plans to Improve it for years,
and there has never been any ~ntent on the County's part to fill in
the ditch to create a grassy swale.
Commissioner Volpe questioned if the drainage ditch ts currently
functioning as It was designed, to which Mr. Boldt Indicated in the
affirmative.
Con~ssionsr Saunders asked what area is the drainage ditch
des~ned to drain?
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald responded it is
designed to handle three conditions: 1) it provides an outfall for
part of the Riviera development, i.e., water drains from part of
Riviera and flows into the ditch; 2) it also provides for a certain
amount of water retention to meet the South Florida Water Management
District criteria; and 3) it can function as a conveyor of water bet-
ween the two drainage systems on County Barn Road and the Lely canal.
He ~ndicated a probable solution to the problem would be to replace
some of the ditch with the installation of a stormwater drainage pipe.
He said In order to accomplish that, a short feasibility study would
need to be undertaken to determine the cost and determine how the cost
wo~ld be assessed to either the property owners or between benefiting
owners.
Commissioner Saunders commented if an assessment district is
established, he presumes it would encompass the entire Riviera deve-
lopment plus surrounding properties because of the benefits to be
g&lnsd.
Mr. Ross rebutted several comments made by Mr. Boldt. He etated
~f the information euppl~ed by Mr. Boldt was in existence before the
plat was created, it should have been entailed in the plat so that
prospective property owners could have been fully knowledgeable about
the requirements of the area. He asserted he studied all the cove-
nanta, easements and restrictions from 1974 and found no discussion of
:].5
Page 7
,, , this sub~sct.
Mr. Archibald said the most important issue from the County's
perspective is to ensure there is a drainage system In the area. He
noted the ditch was in existence in accordance with the plans and the
plat prior to any purchases occurring. He suggested constructing a
storm drainage system will create a fairly large assessment district,
· bscause there are benefits to residents to the north and east in addi-
tion to those within the platted area itself. He also suggested there
are indirect benefits that accrue to others.
Commissioner Volpe questioned how long would the feasibility study
take and who would be responsible for conducting It? Mr. Archibald
stated his Department can very briefly develop a rough coot for an
assessment district and meet with the homeowners' association to
determine how the costs may be s/located. He said that undertaking
should be possible within 30-60 days.
¢osealemioner Volpe moved, seconded by Conmisstoner Saunders, to
direct Staff to prepare a feasibility study for a drainage assessment
district within Riviera Golf Estates, return within 60-90 days, and
Staff directed to inspect the area and develop a short-term solution
to the unmightlineas of the canal.
Mr. Ross pointed out that many of the part-time residents will be
leaving the area within the next few weeks, therefore, any agreement
must allow enough time for everyone to be involved in the outcome.
The following people spoke regarding the situation, stating the
health and safety hazards of the road abutting the canal, the
..congestion of weeds, mosquitoes, etc., the aesthetic concerns within a
beautiful neighborhood, the standing water In the ditch, and opposi-
tion to the hameaters paying an assessment for a drainage system
which is the responsibility of the County:

O~DINANC~ 91-31 ~ PETITION R-90-27, BEAU KEENE OF EVERS, NKAL &
PUR~, ~NC., FJ~R~$~NTING DAN PEPPERS AND DUGAN PORTER, REQU~STXNG A
FROM A-2 TO PUD TO BE KNOWN AS "WATERFORD ESTATES" PUD,
COB~Z~T~B~ OF TS RESIDENTIAL Dt~ELLING UNITS LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH OF
MliITAEER, ROAD - ADOPTED AS AMENDED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 21, 1991, am evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition R-90-27,
filed by Beau Keens of Evers, Neal & Purse, Inc., representing Dan
Peppers and Dugan Porter, requesting a fezone from A-2 to PUD to be
known as "Waterford Estatest' PUD, consisting of 78 residential
dwelling units on property located north and south of Whitaker Road,
approximately one mile north of Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR 864) and
approximately two miles west of CR 951, in Sections 9 and 16, T§0S,
R26B~ conelat~ng of 19.4± acres.
Planner Schell requested that discuss~on of Companion Item #6C20
SMP-90-31, be heard in conjunction with this item. He noted these
petit~one consist of the fezone and SubdlvAston Master Plan for
Waterford Estates PUD, proposed to consist of 78 residential units.
He explained the property le presently zoned A-2, with surrounding
properties to the north zoned A-2 and Estates and significantly unde-
vs~oped~ properties to the east are zoned A-2 with a mixture oF
single-family homes and mobile homes; to the south, the zoning is A-2
with undeveloped woodlands and scattered single-family homes; and to
the west, the zoning is A-2 with undeveloped woodlands, Youth Haven
and the PUD for Royal Woods Golf and Country Club which 1s approved
for single and multi-family residences.
Commissioner Hesse questioned what ~he access is to the subject
property? Transportat/on Services Administrator Archibald replied
that current access is either through the Whitaker Road or Polly Road
aligmaent. He agreed w/th Co~uaissloner Hesse that Whitaker Road is
not developed up to this property, however, one of the stipulations
requires the developer to extend Whitaker Road to Sunset Boulevard.
Planner Schell continued, advising that Staff has found the peti-
tion in compliance with the Growth Management Plan. He noted ~hat,
although the proposed project is eligible for 78 residential u~its or
:].?
Page 9
flour units per acre, the developer's SMP asks only for 63 units which
will result in approximately 3.2 units per acre. He remarked that, if
approved, Staff is recommending approval of 78 units, since it is in
compliance with the Growth Management Plan, however, the Board has the
right to limit the number of units to that which is shown on the SMP.
Commiss~oner Volpe stated for clarification, that the developer is
requesting 78 residential units in the PUD document and the Board
needs to decide whether to limit development at this fezone stage to
~:, 63 unite or approve the request for 78 units, to which Planner Schell
· /:: concurred.
Planner Schell communicated that all agencies have reviewed the
petitions and found them to be in compliance subject to the recom-
mended st~pulations. He noted the CCPC on 3/7/91 recommended den/a/
of both petitions by a vote of 4/3, because they felt the proposed
project ie incompatible with neighboring rural residential properties.
He commented, however, the CCPC members who voted in favor recognized
the compatibil~t¥ of the petitions with Collier Count¥'s Growth
... Management Plan, and added that the urbanization line designates areas
for more intensive land uses as being west of CR 9§1. He noted three
people spoke in opposition to the proposal, citing their desire to
maintain the rural residential character of the area, compatibility
with neighboring rural residential properties, concern with the
possibility of increased property taxes ~nd concerns with the affects
upon groundwater levels on potable wells and ponds. He commented
three communications ~n favor of the petition have been received,
indicating the desire to have increased urban services be provided to
the area. He advised a petition has recently been received containing
'5? nloaee ~n favor of the proposal, and a separate petition with 34
names in opposition has also been received. He concluded that Staff
recommends denial of Petitions R-90-27 and SMP 90-31, subject to the
CCPCtI recommendations. He added, however, if the Board chooses to
approve the petitions, Staff is requesting approval be subject to all
$taff~a stipulations, including an additional stipulation to the aMP
April 9, 1991
that, "the minimum lot sizes shall be as shown on the typical lot
details of the Subdivision Master Plan".
Jeff Purse, with Evers, Neal & Purse, Inc., representing the peti-
tioner, stated that the petitions are in compliance with the Growth
Management Plan, which has designated that the area west of CR 951 is
destined to be urban. He Indicated this area, being surrounded by a
major roadway system, will become urban. He said the development will
connect to the Countyts sewer system, therefore, septic tanks are not
contemplated. He added they will also connect to the County water
system, so will not be utilizing groundwater. He noted the developer
~ plans to pave Whitaker Road past Sunset Boulevard, pave Sunset
Boulevard for the full extent of the proJect's boundaries and pave
Polly Avenue to connect it to where It is presently paved. He indi-
cated that, In Itself, will help alleviate a major problem In the
area. In summary, he said although the petitions were denied by the
CCPC, he feels this particular area ta presently urban. He asserted
by looking beyond the boundaries of this project, it is noticeable
that development is surrounding the area. He requested that the Board
of County Commissioners consider the area urban, as deemed in ~he
Growth Management Plan, and approve the project.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Purse indicated that the
.petitioner would agree to modify the rezontng application to limit the
project to 3.2 units per acre.
Dan Peppers, petitioner, asserted that the proposal will improve
the appearance of the area. He reported money has been put aside for
landscaping which will Improve the entire neighborhood. He noted the
front entrance will bs landscaped with large trees and shrubbery, the
streets will contain canopy trees similar to the Vineyards and the
:;:: lake sides will be landscaped as well as the boundary areas around the
isntirs property.
~K'' The following people spoke in favor of the project, stating the
!:.~: upgrades of the roads In the area and the water and sewer tie-ins will

be of great value to the neighborhood, the proposal will help eltmt-
nate the use of land In the area as dumps for garbage and the ellmina-
tlon of the dust when the roads are paved:
Joseph Markovic
Maria Blanco
Paula Barnes
The following people spoke against the project, stating the detri-
mental effect it will have on their wells, the probable increase of
property taxes, current residents cannot afford County water and sewer
systems, the environment of the area is being destroyed by develop-
merits already approved and the proposal is not compatible with
/Osurrounding properties:

Co~,aimai~ner Shanahen ~cxved, seconded by Co--~tsstoner Hesse and

Comet#loner Rases ~oved, seconded by Co-~tsstoner Sh~l~han, to

'L)i,:,devel~t b~ limited to
Co~lsstoner Shanahen Indicated that a decision is difficult In
this situation, however, tn his opinion, the benefits offset the
~ssible problems.
Commissioner Saunders mentioned that a key Issue Is the approval
of projects that are well designed for the future and the reduction of
densities to a point where nice neighborhoods are maintained.
Commissioner Volpe commented that, unfortunately, residents In
this area seem to be in the path of progress. He said the forthcoming
:':report from the MPO on the build-out study for Collier County may be
the most important issue this community will have to address over the
next three or four years. He remarked that he will support this pro-
Ject with the condition that the County address the concerns raised
regarding densities In certain rural areas which are In the path of
progress.

Commissioner Volpe explained that the issue regarding beach access
ta of prime Importance and identified as the number one priority
during the strategic planning sessions. He Indicated that this is
really a County-wide issue and noted that as an outgrowth of the work
on the Task Force Committee. he is proposing that the Commission con-
sider the creation of a County-wide Beach Task Force to address many
of the issues resulting from the discussions of the Barefoot Beach
Task Force. He thanked Murdo Smith and staff for their assistance.
Commissioner Volpe reported that more and more people are moving
~. into the community and are becoming aware of the Lely Barefoot Beach
reso~lrce.
Commissioner Volpe advised that the local newspaper raised an
· ?'' issue relating to a potential conflict of Interest on his part and he
has discussed same with County Attorney Cuyler who has determined that
there is no conflict of interest. He reported that the recommen-
dations to come forth are a result of Input from the public, staff,
the Barefoot Beach community, and the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board,
Commissioner Volpe expressed that in his opinion, the critical
issue is the lack of on-site supervision. He suggested that on-site
supervision be provided in order to solve this situation. He indi-
cated that the Parks and Recreation Department is currently
understar fed.
.'(~. WIth respect to the collection of a fee at the Barefoo~ Beach
Preside, Co~leeioner Volpe cited that ~he recommendation at kh~s
t~me ~e to defer sa~d fee unt~l such ~me that a dete=m~nat~on Is made
~aS tO what the County-w~de pol~c~ w~ll be regarding the collection of
fees. He related that the County Attorney's office Is look~n~ ~nto
Page 14
April 9, 199!
the issue of whether there is the possibility of using some of the bed
tax dollars for that purpose and if there is the ability to differen-
t!ate between out-of-county res!dents and out-of-state residents. He
cited that approximately 70~-80~ of the folks using Lely, Clam Pass
and Tigertail are out of County residents.
Commissioner Volpe announced the Task Force's recommendation of
the utilization of a gate at the entrance to the Preserve. He noted
that the gate has been Invoiced and is soon to be installed at that
location.
Commissioner Volpe addressed the issue with regard to par-
ticipatton from the Lely Development Corporation. He reported that
the Task Force Identified that there is a budget shortfall situation
and questioned whether the developer would be willing to donate monies
to underwrite the costs in the Initial years until such time that a
determination is reached as to whether fees would be charged. He
indicated that the Task Force voted on that issue and recommends that
a one time donation be accepted from the developer to help defray the
costs. He noted that concerns have been voiced from the public that
accepting the donation may have some stigma attached. He advised that
based upon what he has heard from the public, he urges the Commission
not to accept the donation from the developer.
Commissioner Saunders stated that there are three Issues and he
sees no compromise. He expressed that parking needs to be maximized
for the public with environmental Impacts kept in mind; access maximi-
zed to ease entry to the park; and'total control by the County of the
facility. With reference to the donation, he indicated that he
believes it was very generous for Mr. Agnelll to offer same and maybe
sometime in the future the County may be in a position to accept it,
but at this point in time until all other issues are resolved, he
feels this should be deferred. He expressed that the collection of
fees has n6thing to do with the three major issues.
Commissioner Saunders remarked that the Executive Summery reflects
67 existing paid parking spaces and an additional 44 spaces with the

will be indicating that these are the parking spaces that will be

Acting Public Services Administrator Skinner reported that the
· Task Force Com~ittee has held three meetings and their reconunendattons
" 1. Provide park staffing and equipment for supervision at the
Preserve.
2. Accept a one time unrestricted cash donation from Lely
Development Corporation in the amount of $40,000.
3. Do not charge a fee at the Preserve until other related
issues have been resolved.
4. Do not construct a gate house at the entrance to the
Preserve.
Nrs. Skinner requested that the Commission approve the reco~men-
datione as submitted by the Barefoot Beach Task Force Committee.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Acting Parks and Recreation
Director Smith advised that currently there are four park rangers for
the beaches and one additional ranger will be requested in the
[~;~.:~.:.:upcoalng budget.
County Manager Derrill explained that the activities of the park
rangers include five community parks and four related beach parks with
adjacent beach parking. He noted that two boat ramp ~actltttes are
presently secured and by the end of the year, a third boat ramp fact-
' . 1tt¥ will be on line in addition to a boat ramp facility In Immokalee
that Is patrolled and locked In the evening.

County taxpayers' tax dollars support all the parks; no reason to

to be used; the County already has legal rights of access as given by
the State in 1978; desire for full time County supervision of the

tion; suggest utilizing senior volunteers for the supervision of the

agreement with Lely and staff should make an effort to provide the
missing legal /ink between the State Authority's Trustees for the
Internal Improvement Fund who are the owners of the easement granted
in 1978 since there is no documentation that that ownership has ever
been given away.
Mr. Paul Smith, Lely Barefoot Beach resident, stated that upon
completion of this development, there will be 720 taxpaying people.
He indicated that the public should have a right to the beach, but the
folks who purchased their homes in this area knew there was 24 hour
security and this is still in tact. He reported that Lely Beach
Boulevard is owned and maintained by the residents of Lely Beach at
the cost of $23.33 per month to provide maintenance, lights, clean up
and guard service. He noted that the residents do not want to
restrict anyone from the beach but they do not want to give up their
security. He explained that when the park was proposed, he was
~nformed that there would be 74 parking spaces since this is an extre-
mely sensitive area and the mangroves and wildlife would be preserved.
He expressed that he ~s displeased when he hears that the bulldozers
will be coming in to make this one huge parking lot. He suggested
that the County residents d~splay a decal and when they approach the

no reason why the park rangers and Lely Barefoot Beach security guard
cannot work hand in hand.

the donation of funds from the GAC Land Trust for the construction of
the facility as well as the purchase of the necessary acreage needed
to accededate such a facility. She added that Avatar Properties,

YMCA for the utilization of funds for the purpose of constructing a
YMCA facility; and 5. the Preparation of any and all applications
necessary to amend the current Golden Gate Area Master Plan to allow
for the YMCA facility.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Taylor explained that there
As currently $325,000 of unrestricted funds In the GAC Land Trust.
She added that they have approximately 800 acres which wall be
released for sale by the Golden Gate Estates Citizens Advisory
ColAtree, confirming that GAC is the sole source for funding the YMCA
County Attorney Cu¥1er affirmed that Avatar Properties, Inc. has
provided a letter of no objection. He commented that the YMCA has
agreed to work with the County to provide legal continuity to the
Avatar Properties, Inc. agreement.
Me. Taylor answered Commissioner Hasse's question by explaining
that the sale of these lands in the past have been used to pay for
fare trucks, the construction of a garage bay for the Golden Gate Fire
DistrAct, etc. County Attorney Cuyler clarified that the proceeds
~rom the sale of the subject property can be used, according to the
agreement, for fire protect/on facilities, police facilities, public
schools, libraries, and recreational facilities.
Me. Taylor explained that the property and YMCA facility will
be owned by the County, and then leased back to the YMCA. She con-
farmed the statement made by Commissioner Saunders that this is a
request to proceed with the required arrangements necessary.
Mr. Thomas A. Brtngardner, Chairman of the Golden Gate Development
Committee, emphasized that this is a project that will utilize money
not derived from the taxpayers and will benefit the Golden Gate com-
Mr. Hank Caballero, resident of Collier County, pointed out that

the YMCA Is a much needed facility In Golden Gate and requested that

Mr. Gila E. Slavers, General Director of the YMCA, noted that he
has received a great deal of support from the cttizer~s of the Golden

Transportation Services Admlntstrator Archibald stated that this
1tam 10 a follow-up to the Board*s direction on February 19, 1991,
proceed with a settlement. He advised tha~ the proposed resolution
wtll dec/are a portion of the remainder of the 7-11 ~arce1 which
referred to as Parce~ 125.R Remainder a8 surplus for a sealed bid. He
e~1alned the reason for declarln~ this ~arcel surplus Is to allow
Mrs. Fayard, the o~er of Del~s Convenient Store, the og~or~unlt
purchase the sub~ect proper~y and relocate her business on the corner
of M~atee Road and S.R. 95~. Also as part of this 1tam, Mr. Archibald
tnfo~d, is the Stipulated Final Jud~ent which staff has agreed
upon, but the defendants have not.
Xn response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Archibald commented that
Mrs. Fa~ard has been paid $290,000 for the building in which her busi-
ness was located. He advised that the proposed resolution Is offering
Page 20
the possible opportunity to relocate their business to the south of
its original location. He added that the subject resolution and
Stipulated Final Judgment set forth the conditions for consideration
by the Board when the sealed bids are received and brought back to the
Board. He specified that some of the conditions include a minimum bid
amount of $§0,000, the relocatton of the building on-site, and other
stipulations addressing the properties.
Coullty Attorney Cuyler answered Commissioner Volpe's question by
lnforaing that the subject land Is Improved property which allows its
owner to build any use under Its specified zoning.
Gary lluckhuhn, representing Mr. Ackerman, one of the defendants,
pointed out that originally the agreement did not Include the con-
dition of moving the building; however, the proposed agreement does
include this additional cost of $50,000 to move the building,
incurring other expenses, which does not leave a fair and equitable
settlement for the defendants. He agreed that the public sale Is a
~saeonable solution, but the minimum bid would need to be conditioned
upon'moving or not moving the building and the expenses adjusted
accordingly in order for the defendants to be compensated Justly. He
suggested that the County proceed with a process to put the subject
property in Mr. Ackerman~s name and let him bare the cost of moving
the building and doing the site work.
County Attorney Cuyler Informed that the property cannot be given
to the defendant because the County has taken title to the land the
defendant is moving from as well as the land to be moved to, but
rather it must go through the declaration of surplus property with
a public bidding process. He added that it is staff's opinion that
the subject site Is a valuable piece of property and the County should
~ecslve at least $50,000 from Its sale, and then it would be at the
discretion of the property owner whether they would want to develop
the property in accordance to the stipulations listed. He recommended
' that the Board accept staff's proposed Stipulated Final Judgment.
i: Mr. Archibald clarified that the proposed resolution requests that
Page 21

and location.
the initial responsibility is to clear the right-of-way which will
require some remodeling of the existing ?-1! store, and also requests
that within a five year period further removal or relocatton will be
necessar~ to abide by the setback requirements.
Hr. Archibald explained that the County could proceed with the
resolution; and at the time the sealed bids are brought before the
Board, a revised Stipulated Final Judgment could also be discussed.
He pointed out that the bare land is valued at $65,000; but the
included conditions set forth in the proposed resolution will require
the purchaser to burden other costs; therefore, the minimum bid price
· of $50,000 is felt Justifiable.
Hr. Kluckhuhn pointed out that Nrs. Fayard was paid $185,000 less
than the o~nera of the neighboring property which was comprised of
less square footage; and even though the neighboring property had more
valuable fixtures included, they are Insignificant to the value of the
He noted that the location of the land for Nrs.
Fayard's parcel provides greater benefit to the County because it
a11o~ the Manares Road extension.
County Attorney Cuyler cited that the matter regarding the
appraisal of the two properties was before the courts. In answer to
~] CouAsatonsr Volpe, Mr. Cuyler noted that the fixtures will be
' included as part of the structure.
Mr. Archibald clarified that the question before the Board is
whether the defendant can submit a bid below the required low bid of
· $50,000. He noted that this decision may need to be made at the time
the sealed bids are opened. He explained that if the Fayard's or the
Acker~an's are not the successful bidders of the surplus property, the
$ttptllatsd Final Judgment will need to be revised. He recommended
that the Board approve the proposed resolution and recognize that
there ~ay be sealed bids below $50,000.

Coeualsslonsr Saunders noted that It is the Commtsston's Intention
to resolve the final agreement between the County and Mr. Ackerman in
order for Mr. Ackerman to continue to operate a store at the subject
location, and added that it appears to be in the best interest of the
public to support Mr. Ackerman's bid for the surplus property.
County Attorney Cuyler responded to Mr. Kluckhuhn's questions by
stating that the Board of County Commissioners in its declaration of
surplus reserves the right to reject all bids and reserves the right
to choose the bid it ftnds to be tn the best Interest of the County.
Commissioner Volpe expressed that he does not support removing the
$50,000 minimum bid requirement from the resolution. He commented
that the value of the fixture and the land should require a minimum
bid of at least $50,000.

that the objective is to adopt a resolution whereby ~he Board de~er-
mlnes and resolves to proceed with the proJec~ and effects adoption of
~ updated ~d revlsed tentative assessment roll which reflects

watermalne, sanitary sewer facilities, road and drainage Improvements
~d adopted a tentative assessment roll for the cost of said ~mprove-
ments to be paid by a special assessment against the benefited proper-
tles. He reported that the total assessable cost for this project
~rrently estimated at $10,630,000 which ls significantly more than
reflected ~n the orl~tnal tentatlve assessment ro11; ~herefore,
re~lrtn~ ~ updated and revised tentative assessment roll reflecttn~
the ~rren~ condltlons adopted. He stated that staff reco~ends adop-
tion of the ~b~ect resolutlon. He pointed out that Exhlblt "C" which
~lzee the costs tha~ make-up the $10,630,0OO ls a worst case sce-
narlo, ~d added that there ls the potential that the amount wlll come
in lo~r th~ thls. He noted that there will be a contrtbutlon from
Page 25
April 9, 1991
Utilities which will aid in the reduction of costs.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Conrecode informed that at
the completion of construction a reassessment wil! be made on the
costs to date on the pro~ect which will include financing costs,
construction costs, design costs, and costs incurred to secure final
land acquisition; therefore, this is a preliminary assessment cost.
County Manager Dotrill commented that there is an MSTU currently
in place for this District which has borne all the costs to date for
the pro~ect.
Pam McKte, representing Bob Taylor° Trustee and Sam V Investments,
~parce~s 3.1~ 365, and 3?8 on the tentative assessment roll, stated
there is no problem w~th parcel 3.~; however, she requested that staff
investigate parcels 365 and 3?8 because they are assessed separately
for $50,000 and $36,000 respectively, but are one parcel which is the
existing Bob Taylor chevrolet dealership. She also questioned why
when this item was on the agenda on ~arch ~2, ]991, the total
assessable cost was approximately $?.~5 million and within the last
three weeks it has gone up 47~ to $~0.5 million?
Mr. Conrecode replied that the reason for the increase is because
of the increased contingencies and the included finance charges for
the ~ife of the pro~ect which had originally been left out of the
coe~. He pointed out that the finance charge could be e~iminated if
the property owners were to finance this and pay the assessment in one
Me. McKte questioned why there are three interdepartmental
ch&rgea, one for $~65,000 for the Real Property Department, $100,000
for ~egal fees, and $100,000 for the Capital ~mprovement Management?
Mr. Conrecode explained that these charges are to cover staff time
spent on this pro~ect which is conslatent with current County Policy.
Assistant County Attorney Neigel noted that the legal fees would be to
pay for outside counse! for condemnation costs.
Ms. McKte stated that she understands that an MSTU is designed to
Page 26
April 9, 1991
charge the people who directly benefit from the service It will provi-
de; therefore, the Bob Taylor Chevrolet property, which is parcels
378 and 365, should not be assessed for the sewer system because the
property has already paid to connect to the City sewer system and is
receiving Its service. Mr. Conrecode affirmed that this will be
investigated.
Oary Butler stated that he owns Lot 30 on Trade Center Lane at the
north end of the MSTU. He advised that he too has already paid for
and is receiving sewer services approved by the County and does not
feel that Trade Center Lane should be charged again for sewers.
Mr. Conrecode responded that the entire Trade Center area is being
assessed at a lower rate because they are currently being serviced by
'' their own package plant which will be tied Into the County service at
the completion of the project.
Mr. Butler commented that the lots along Trade Center Lane should
not be made to pay the assessment until the sewer line is within 200
feet of the properties.
Mr. Conrecode pointed out that the final determination of charges
will take into account who has already paid impact fees and who will
be charged Impact fees as a result of tying Into the County's system
which will offset the cost of the assessment to all the property
owners Involved. He added that this will also have a direct rela-
tionshlp on the contribution from the Utilities for the projects.
John Burr informed that he is the owner of parcel 25 on Pine Ridge
Road which has a total of a 245 foot frontage but 30 feet of this
frontage Is part of a drainage easement. He questioned why he would
be assessed for this 30 foot frontage which is under water, and he
cannot use. Mr. Conrecode affirmed that he will review this.
Bruce Weber noted that he owns two pieces of property on Leanne
Lane and has received a letter informing him that he will be assessed
$31,000. He argued whether it was worth spending $10 million for two
or three weeks out of the year to remove standing water. He pointed
out that originally there were swales on this street which took care
Page 27
of the standing water; however, they are no IonHer there. As far as
the roads are concerned for this area, he noted, they only need to be
:. resurfaced but not rebuilt. He added that the area of his property is
an industrlal area and the septic systems do not pose any environmen-
tal hazard, and the water is acceptable for industrial use. He cited
that as to the concern for water for fires, there are several fire
wells in th~s area. He su~marized that the need does not Justify the
: cost.of the project.
:~" Na~a McCollum commented that he owns three parcels of property in
the ~11bJect area and feels that the assessment should be based on the
square footage of each parcel not the lineal front footage of each.
Assistant County Manager McLemore explained that the front footage
method was chosen because it directly relates the cost of installing
'the system in front of the individual properties. He noted that this
ts the preferred method of charging for this type of project.
Mr. Conracode advised that he will provide an explanation as to
how Mr. McCollum~s properties are being assessed once he receives the
. ·'.~:: parcel numbers.
Mr. K.O. Vaughn stated that he does not see the need for a central
sewer system for this D/strict. He pointed out that by tying an
industrial park area and a residential area together there ts the
~.:.potentlal to pollute an entire system such as this with a hazardous
waste rather than being able to isolate it and determine where it came
from as would be the case with individual systems. He questioned the
charglng methodology used for this system because it seems unfair and
noted that there is a considerable amount of undeveloped property
wlthln the aub~ect MSTU? He also questioned when the property owners
would kl~ow exactly how much this project will cost them and if at the
oom~letlon of the project they will have the option as to whether they
want the system or not?
Mr. Conracode advlsed that the vacant land owners will be assessed
at the s~me rate as everyone else, and added that the Utillties
Dtvlalon wlll pay for a portton of the Improvements whlch will be used
'46
Page 28
April 9,
by other people. He commented that the exact amount of the individual
assessments will be final at the completion of the project, and at
that time the individual property owners will have to connect to the
In ~nswer to further comments by Mr, Vaughn, Assistant Utilities
.~:'AghaSnistrator Bloetscher clarified that the Impact fees pay for
transmission and treatment to the regional system, and everyone is
charged an Impact fee when they connect to the system. He continued
that the monthly charge pays for the treatment operating costs of the
~etem and the assessment addresses the piping Installed adjacent to
..:..~:. the property.
In direct response to Commissioner Volpe's follow-up question as
to the assessment of undeveloped land, an unidentified staff member
(i:.:-/ stated that these property owners are being assessed on an Increasable
'~:'[;- benefit method which takes into account the potential for development
of the presently undeveloped land, and when connection is made to the
~stem to develop, an impact fee will be charged.
Commissioner Volpe asked for clarification as to whether the indi-
viduals within the subject MSTU are paying for a system that will
benefit others outside the MSTU. Mr. Huber replied that the Utilities
'Division Is paying for the force main from the pump station on
Edgewood Drive to the MSTU, and property owners outside the MSTU will
be charged an impact fee to connect to it.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that under the Growth Management
' Plan which is mandated by the State, the County is required to remove
and deny additional septic systems. County Manager Derrill added that
/.[.~i ~f property is located within the Count¥'s Water/Sewer District, the
owner would be denied the right to install their own water/sewer
treatment plant and would be required to connect to the County system.
Real Property Director Taylor responded to Mr. Vaughn's comment
regarding the easements by stating that of the 374 easements on the
pro~ect, 254 have been donated, 48 have been purchased, and 72 remain
to be closed or acquired by order of taking.

April 9, 1991
Xn conclusion Mr. Vaughn stated that he does not understand why
the Coun~ is spending this excess amount of money for a sewer and
drainage system and resurfaclng of the roads in this District which is
not needed. He added that the need for fire lines is questionable
since four fires in this area burned themselves out because no one
called the fire department; therefore, fire wells are Just as effec-
tive and less costly.
Attorney Richard Vogel, representing the Trade Center of Naples,
Lots 1-81, stated his clients do not believe they are benefiting tax-
payers to the proposed assessment district and should not be included.
He referred to a letter he filed stating the concerns of his clients.
(Copy posted with the Clerk to the Board.)
Attorney Bruce Anderson, representing the owners of Parcels 2 and
12, indicated he previously filed a letter with the Board outlining
his one objection, however, requested that he receive a response on
record to his assertion that the transmission main beginning midway
on Edgewood Drive, which runs down Pine Ridge Road and continues down
Goodletta Road to the North Naples Sewage Treatment Plant is not pro-
perly Included as an assessable improvement. He cited that is what
Impact fees are for.
Fred Bloatschar, testatant Utilities Administrator, advised that
the Utilities Department is paying for the force main from the pump
station on Edgewood Drive to Orange Blossom Drive.
Nr. Anderson formally withdrew his objection.
William Truptano objected to the way fees will be charged,
suggesting that a fair formula would be to charge on a square foot
b~sls of the parcels, not on the amount of road frontage.
~&rr~ Bill questioned how the assessment was originally appor-
tioned on the properties?
Bill Barton, substituting for Tom Peek of Wilson, ~tller, Barton &
Peek, Inc., responded ~hat the types of improvements within the
assessment district, i.e., sanitary sewer, potable water, drainage and
Page 30
April 9, 1991
road construction, are for the most part improvements that go along
road corridors. He reported the cost of putting those improvements in
is a direct function of the length of the road. Consequent/y, he
said, front footage is the assessment basis and unless there are a
large number of very deep parcels, that is typically the most fair
assessment.
Commissioner Volpe commented that may be true when speaking of
single-family residential lots, however, this situation concerns com-
mercial and tn~ustrial properties whose value are normally based on
square footage.
Mr. Barton agreed that commercial and industrial land often lends
Itself to an appraisal on a per square foot basis, however, those
values are not always equal. He explained when dealing with a smaller
parcel compared to a larger parcel in the same area, it is not uncom-
mon for the prices per square foot to vary.
Commissioner Saunders Indicated his understanding of the
assessment for the road frontage, however when dealing with drainage,
water and sewer, the square footage approach would make sense. He
questioned if there was any particular reason why a mixture of metho-
dologies was not used since there is a mixture of d~sttnct types of
services? He also asked if the resolution is approved with the
assessment methodology as outlined in Section 4, can it be changed to
include a square foot assessment methodolo~ at a later time?
Mr. Barton replied that the real cost of providing water and sewer
are the pipelines which are a direct function of the lineal feet of
roads. He indicated of the four types of improvements, the one that
~ay appropriately be looked at in a different fashion would be
drainage.
Assistant County Attorney Wetgel communicated he would be uncom-
fortable adopting a resolution, then making a subsequent material
change for one of the elements. He suggested the Board of County
Commissioners has the option to continue this item and consider the
alternative. ~ 000PAq~ ~9
Page 31
April 9, 1991
Mr. Barton pointed out should the drainage element be converted to
a square footage assessment, it will be meaningless In the overall
picture.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Messrs. Conrecode and Huber
'with the Office of Capital Projects Management, concurred with Mr.
Barton's conclusion.
Lyrm Htxon-Holley stated property owners should have the oppor-
tunity to review with Staff what it is they are being asked to pay
for. She asserted an unfair and unjust burden has been placed upon
her because she is being assessed for 100% of her property, yet County
easements have diminished her acreage by 20~. She also questioned why
she Is not being given the increasable benefit formula as others with
undeveloped land have.
Mr. Conracode Indicated he will look Into the above situation.
Albert Dorta remarked that the project should be developed by
square footage. He stated In three weeks' time, his assessment went
from $6,000 to almost $10,000 per lot, adding someone should look more
closely Into this project.
Bob Moates stated when the project was first considered in 1981,
the assessment was estimated at $43 per foot. He said that figure has
Increased several times to the present $194 per foot. He Indicated
the project will not get any cheaper by waiting yet another period of
time and urged property owners to accept the present proposal. On the
other hand, he indicated his hope that the Board will consider
spreading the assessment over 20 years and the Impact fees over a five
year period of time.
Commissioner Hasse questioned what length of time will be given
property owners to pay the assessments and impact fees?
Assistant County Attorney Lawson responded when the Board adopted
the impact fee ordinance, Staff was asked to examine expanding as far
as possible the period to extend payments. He noted In the past,
impact fees were payable over a three year period of time, the ordl-
ml 50
Page 32
April 9, 1991
nance passed in November, 1990, extended that period to five years and
the Finance Committee will be bringing in the near future a recommen-
dation to expand that period further to seven years. He noted an
additional forthcoming recommendation of the Finance Committee will be
to internally finance Impact fees, allowing anyone with an existing
building to finance water and sewer impact fees over a maximum of
seven years at an interest rate of S~ on their water bills.
Edward McOarthey agreed with Mr. Moates and urged the Board to
approve the project as soon as possible.
Mike Cart Indicated he is speaking for a Mr. Fitzgerald who had to
leave the meeting. He questioned if property owners within this MSTBU
will be assessed again for a County road assessment district? County
Manager Dotrill explained a County-wide road assessment wall be for
secondar~ and arterial roadways and this MSTBU is for what is con-
sidered local roads, therefore, there would be an additional
assessment ·
Mr. Cart Inquired when the County stormwater management drainage
district to established, will this MSTBU be assessed again for that?
County Manager Dotrill answered only to the extent that the owners
will be contributing to primary or secondary drainage systems that are
Identified in drainage basin master plans that have yet to be
completed. He said they will not be re-assessed for those projects
being paid for that are subdivision-type drainage improvements.
Thomas Grosso, owner of Parcel 75, questioned if he will be cre-
dited for the potable water system for which he was assessed last
year? Mr. Conrecode stated that Mr. Grosso's property is not being
charged for potable water on the assessment role.
~eorge Hermanson with Hole, Montes & Associates explained that his
firm along with Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. are the project
engineers for this pro~ect. He clarified that the vast majority of
roadways within the MSTBU will not be rebuilt, they will be resur-
faced. He also remarked that the bids received for the project were,
in his opinion, very competitive. He noted the lowest bid received

Commissioner Shanahan Indicated that he feels that eight years is
a major co.mmttment for anyone to serve and all the advisory boards
need ~turnover and new ideas. He reported that he believes the

concerns to him regarding attendance of the various board members and
a~lggested that if they miss three consecutive meetings in a row, that
they be asked to resign from serving on that board.
Commissioner Goodnight read into the record, a letter from Mrs.
Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Women Voters of Collier
County, which questions why the Planning Commission should be dif-
ferent than the other advisory boards and suggested that there be no
amendment to Ordinance 85-§! since the CCPC should be consistent and
remain as As.
'Commissioner Hasse indicated that some of the members of CCPC are
absent time and time again, noting that there should be some rationale
for their absences.
Co~unity Development Services Administrator Brutt advised that he
will provide the Commission with information relating to the atten-
dance records of the members of the CCPC.

Plier Arnold stated that this item is a revest by staff to
~aft a resolution for a street name change for the platted and
recorded street n~es of Imperial Court and Imperial Drive to
Aristocrat Court for a road located with the Iapertal West PUD. He
noted that when staff was workin9 with the 911 Coordinator, it was
deterztned that confusion may arise with the subject street names. He
advised that the developer of the project was notified and has no
objection to the street name change.

Coordinator Perry explained that In 1990, the Transportation
Disadvantaged (TD) Commission adopted Rule 41-2 of the Florida
'. Administration Code which established the framework for the planning
and Implementation of transportation for the disadvantaged. He
advised that Florida Statutes defines Transportation Disadvantaged as
'those persons who because of physical or mental disability, Income
statute, age, or for other reasons are unable to transport themselves
or lrurchase transportation, are therefore dependent upon others to
obtain health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities
or other life sustaining activities or children who are handicapped or
at high risk.'
Mr. Perr~ Indicated that the TD estimates that there are 4.5
m~lllon citizen residents of the State of Florida that are transpor-
tation disadvantaged. He remarked that approximately 50,000 people in
Collier County could be considered transportation disadvantaged.
Mr. Perr~ reported that in 1980, there were 2,500 families in
Collier County who had no vehicles; and in 1990 in excess of 4,400
families living in the County had no vehicles available.
Mr. Perry advised that the TD program is divided Into facets:
those programs that are for sponsored clients that are provided
transportation by many of the federal or state social services program
and those for the non-sponsored person who has no one to provide them
with transportation and they cannot provide this for themselves. He
~nd~oated that the new funding of the TD program is for the non-
· ponsored client. He expressed that a trust fund has been created
through a surcharge on license fees and is allocated down to the local
level. He noted that the State's current program for funding is to
provide a 75~ ~Tant with local governments con~rtbuting 25~. He
related that presently, fare box fees can be used as part of the local
' Co~m~aetonar Volpe remarked that he requested that Item 16F3 be
heard ~n conjunction with this Item.
Mr. Perry reported that $200,000 is being provided by The federal
ooo ,, 17i
Page 40
Apri! 9, 199!
and state agencies for the sponsored clients and the non-sponsored
grant is $172,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year which the TD
.,.~ .i' trust fund will provide $129,000 of same, if the County can match this
~: · with $43,000.
· .' Mr. Perr~ explained that the TD Commission ~as appointed the
Training and Educational Center for the Handicapped (TECH) as the
Local Coordinator, and they have gone through the RFP process and are
negotiating with operators to drive the vehicles and provide the ser-
vice and anticipate May 1st as the start up date for the program.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Perry advised that the Local
Coordinating Board voiced concerns with regard to the TECH clients
having prlortty for the service since their money would be provided in
conjunction with the TD trust fund dollars. He indicated that their
clients pay a share or portion of the ridership fees which are a part
of the.fare box revenues which will be used against the local match.
-He remarked that the Local Coordinating Board did not want to rely on
private donations as the way to ~uarantee that trust fund dollars
wonld be available.
Mr. Perry stated that up until the present time, TECH has provided
the local match required to get the system up and running from
December until today. He noted that the reason for going to a 100~
government pro,ram without local private money involved is to ensure
that there would be no prlortttzation of anyone's client.
Commissioner Volpe advised that in discussions with Councilman
Herms, he understands that the County would be able to take credit for
the monies expended to provide transportation from Immokalee to the
North Naples Clinic. He pointed out that agenda item 16F3 which is a
recom~endation to authorize payments for taxi shuttle services for
patients of the I~mokalee Health Clinic could be applied to the
$43,000. Mr. Perry replied in the affirmative.
Commissioner Volpe mentioned that the County has already paid
$12,S00 for this purpose and would like to apply the same theory for
credit to be given. He suggested that Mr. Perry pursue credit for
Page 41
April 9, 1991
"that original $12,300. ]n addition, he explained that if TECH will
not be ustng montes to subsidize this program, they have that much
· L. more money to be used for some of their other programs and when they
· ub·tt their budget requests later in the summer, this should be taken
into consideration.
Co~u~tssioner Shanahas stated that he believes that a
Transportation Disadvantaged Program is needed in Collier County.
.{W~mm~io~ew Shah·has moved, seconded by Com-lsetoner Volpe, to
~ ~ ee~i~e~dtture in an a~unt not to exceed 843.000, taking into
c~r~tt~a th~ pr~vt~ ~ontH that have been expended for
,.~,- ~tim#rvlce~ fm the I~okal# Cltntc to Waple~ Co~unit~/
N~s~,it"'~l{ ~ that the source of funds be Identified at · later date.
Commissioner Volpe questioned how the availability of this program
is being communicated to the general public, to which Mr. Perry
replied that Mr. Bob Wallace of TECH, is spreading the word through
agency seetings, the hospital, School Board, local radio and newspaper
publicity.
gmergency SeNIces Administrator Reardon explained that some of
the money that has been used to date can be placed against the
County'e share of the dollar commitment. He noted that when his staff
serves the clients they are being transferred from a walk in on demand
clinic to a full service hospital. He noted that on February 5, 1991,
bids were received from two taxi companies but the decision was made
not to award the bid, instead tt was decided to provide the transpot-
tation service in-house in order to reduce the costs from $56,000 per
Fear to $23,000 per year.
~ MI~.' Ruse Batsley stated that Yellow Cab was the low bidder and
provided transportation service for the people in Immokalee. He noted
that When that agreement expired, a new bid was sent out and Naples
.:Taxi was the low bidder and they provided the service until the
agreement ended. He Indicated that In January, 1991, a new proposal
· was sent out but he was unable to find out the results of same. He
remarked that an article tn the newspaper stated that EMS was going to
ooo !73
April 9, 1991
provide that service. He requested access to the bills and proof of
insurance that he previously asked for. Mr. Reardon suggested that
Mr. Baisley contact him tomorrow and he would provide him with access
to any information he has.

MPO Coordinator Perry stated that this item is a request to defer
action on the funding and preparation of an Interchange Justification
Report for a proposed interchange at I-~5 and Golden Gate Par~ay. He
advised that the funds that are available are earmarked for construc-
tion projects ~d staff believes it Is prudent to delay a $50,000 -
$~0,000 repoFt that will lead to the expenditure of other funds. He
advised that ~he State has programmed the necessary funds for desi~
Co~188toner Shanahah ~esttoned whether deferring this project
~ld lead to loslag the $3.8 million from the state for this
tnterc~ge. Mr. Perry reported that the money would not be lost, but
'a r~est could b~ made to move it within the work program but this
would delay every phase of the project.
Ooatssloner Saunders ~es~loned the amount of time tha~ would be
r~tred to ~o the study, to which Mr. Perry reported that a private
mm 000
Page 43
consulting firm could probably complete the study within six months.
Commissioner Volpe advised that $900°000 has been received as a
result of the Leon County law suit settlement and asked whether those
monies could be made available for this purpose. Mr. Perry replied
that he was not aware of the settlement amount bat was aware of the
anttcip&tion of a windfall in excess gas taxes, but noted that in lieu
of the funding constraints In the construction program, his request
i. -. ';'Commissioner Saunders stated that he does not feel that this study
should be deferred.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald advised that the
bulk of the surplus gas tax was received last year and the majority of
same has been programmed. He Indicated that staff is In the process
of preparing budgets for the upcoming year and he believes that the
dollars for the construction and design should be reviewed. He noted
that currently, funds would have to be taken from contingency and then
reimburse that fund once the gas taxes become available. He Indicated
that if future dollars do become available in the upcoming year,
another account could be reimbursed.

Mr. Herb Luntz, Communications Manager, stated that this item
affects the telephone service to Building L. He noted that when the
design and original ordering of the equipment for the §th and 6th
· floors of Building L was composed, there was a communications break-
down which omitted the agencies who were going to move to the §th
floor. He stated that he moved forward in obtaining the necessary
additional equipment for these agencies from AT&T and quoted a price
of $33,967.00, noting that this quote is part of an existing system.
Mr. Luntz stated that he negotiated a "Not to Exceed" figure with AT&T
for an additional $7,500.00, which was agreed upon, therefore making
the expenditure $41,466.95.
-Mr. Luntz advised that the operation will provide full service to
the Clerk as well as all other department agencies.
Mr. Luntz remarked that this operation must be completed by April
15, 1991 in order to prevent a 10% price increase in the amount of
$4,000.00. He asked the Board for approval of $41,466.95 to proceed
with the ordering of the equipment so that the move onto the 5th and
6th floors of Building L can take place on schedule by June 3, 1991.

Count~ and to present a settlement proposal on behalf of the insurance
couxlsel.
-Miss Wi]son advised that there was an order from the Federal
~udge, directing the parties to mediation which resulted in a
settlement option. She remarked that the settlement involves Mr,
Tari having his property used only for a wholesale tree/plant nursery.
She stated that there will be no expansion of Mr. Tari's 12-1/2 acre
parcel and retail use of the land will not be permitted. In order to
safe ~uard thts, Miss Wilson stated that the settlement will be
recorded in the Public Records of Collier County.
Miss Wilson observed that retail sales on the property will be
permitted until June 30, 199~ based upon the recommendation of the
med~ato~ that Mr. Tar~ needed this t~me to conclude h~s retail bus~-
': She reported that there w~11 be a d~smlssal without prejudice of

of enforcement.
Miss Wilson remarked that the sale of fruit from the plants and
trees is not to be Included in the sales that are permitted from the
property. These sales must be made off site.
Miss Wilson related that the Federal Court entered an order to
show cause why this case should not be dismissed as of April 5, 1991.
Due to rules allowing for a 5 day window extension, she Indicated that
is there ts no sufficient cause shown why the case should be dismissed
as of April 10, 1991, then the settlement agreement will be accepted
by the court. She noted that Mr. Hootman, outside counsel, recommends
that the county submit to the court their response to the order. This
will approve the memo of understanding subject to the appointment of
