Planner Mulhere informed that the subject petit/on is to allow for
the development of a welcome center for sales, marketing, and project
administrative functions as well as further clarify the required set-
hacks for a side or rear yard when adjacent to a lake. He noted that
' ~' the location of the welcome center would be restricted to a residen-
tLal golf course tract and limited to only one within the PUD. He

that these stipulations would be better addressed in the major,
com~reheneive Lely PUD amendment forthcoming in approximately 90 to
120 days. He reported that staff, .the EAC and WMAB concurred. He
advised that the CCPC recommended approval.
In response to Commissioner Hasse~ Mr. ~ulhere stated that the

OI~D~ 91-30, RE PETITION R-90-25, MICHAEL H. MARCUS OF MORRIS
DEP~NA~$OCIATI~S, INC., REPRESENTING DESHA N. SANDERS, JR., TRUSTEE,
RE(~NQ A REZONE FROM RSF-4 TO PUD FOR RETAIL SHOPPING
C~NTEI~/B~IN~S$ OFFICES FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF PINE
RIDGE ROAD - ADOPTEDt SUBJECT TO CCPC'S RECOMMENDATION
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 7, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition R-90-25, filed
by Michael H. Marcus of Morris Depew Associates, Inc., representing
Desha N. Sanders, Jr., Trustee, requesting a fezone from RSF-4 to PUD
for retatl shopping center/business offices for property located on
the south side of Pine Ridge Road, approximately 740 feet east of U.S.
41, consisting of 4.2 acres.
Planner Lord reported that the intended use of the subject site is
for the construction of one, two-story building to primarily be used
for retail shopping and business office space. He advised that the
!!.primary access to the property will be from Pine Ridge Road and
Page 7
March 26, 1991
aligned with an existing center median cut, with a secondary access to
the south on Gastello Drive· He informed that the subject 4.2 acres
is within the southeast quadrant of the Pine Ridge Road and U.S. 41
Activity Genter. He noted that the subject site is currently deve-
loped with several single-family homes with an RSF-4 zoning designa-
tion. He added that the surrounding land is all developed and zoned
either RSF-1, RSF-4, or C-4. He pointed out that there are currently
commercial uses within this activity center which is allowed by the
Growth Management Plan, making this petition consistent. He advised
that all necessary reviewing agencies have reviewed the subject peti-
tion and have provided their stipulations in the agreement sheet. He
explained that as a result of discussions at the CCPC meeting, incor-
porated into the revised PUD document are added language to 3C,
nonpermitted uses, allowing for no petroleum type services and no
drive through services permitted; and added language to 4C, PUD Master
Plan, providing for an interconnect at the west property line. He
noted that the interconnect at the west property llne was from the
Moose Lodge. He remarked that the Planning Services Staff and the
CCPC recommend approval, subject to all stipulations as contained in
the PUD document.
Gommtssioner Volpe commented that the intersection of Pine Ridge
Road and U.S. 41 is one of the busiest intersections in Collier County
and has been designated as a fly-over intersection. He expressed his
concern regarding the transportation issue and stated that he falls to
see the Justification for a fezone of the subject property for commer-
cial use. He disclosed that there is 650,000 square feet of commer-
cial property in the southwest quadrant of the County.
Gommissioner Saunders pointed out that because this is a commer-
cial area it would be appropriate to fezone this commercial, and added
that an office building is low intensity commercial. He related that
the property owner has a right to develop his property, and a two-
story office building would have th~ least.impact on the area.
Commissioner Shanaban agreed that the subject property would be
Page 8
March 26, 1991
appropriate as commercial within the activity center, but also agreed
that this is a bad intersection which needs to be taken into con-
sideration when making a decision on the subject petition.
Mr, Lord commented that the staff report which addresses the Level
of Service (LOS) at level D was done before the Plummet Study. He
reported that the Plummet Study revised that to a level of service A.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald clarified that the
LOS A is assuming the funding will be provided for the additional two
lanes of road at this location which is in the five-year plan. He
explained that the funding is expected to come from an assessment
district which the County needs to address in the near future. He
pointed out that the petitioner will be required to provide an access
which will be sufficient to meet the traffic needs for this develop-
ment. He noted that there will be a need for a traffic signal at U.S.
41 and Castello Drive once the connection of this road is made to the
project site; and the petitioner should be made to pay their fair
share of the cost for this signal, if this petition is approved. He
informed that as to the widening of Pine Ridge Road, the petitioner
will only contribute to this cost with the expense of their required
impact fees. He advised that the access from Pine Ridge Road will be
limited to right turn in and right turn out.
Com~tssioner Saunders suggested that incorporated into this PUD
and future PUDs should be a statement indicating that all impact fees
be paid at the time of building permit issuance.
Michael Marcus of Morris Depew Associates, Inc., representing the
petitioner, affirmed that the intent is to construct a two-story
retail and office building. He noted that the the petitioner agrees
with staff's stipulations except for item #2. He explained that their
understanding is that the traffic signal stipulated in item #2 would
be placed at the access on Pine Ridge Road; and, therefore, the peti-
tioner feels that the stipulation should indicate that he will pay his
pro rate share since the proposed access on Pine Ridge Road will be
aligned with Caribbean Drive which will allow benefit to the residence
Page 9
March 26, 1991
from that area.
Mr. Archibald remarked that the access on Pine Ridge Road may
warrant a traffic signal which would be necessitated by the traffic
from the commercial property; therefore, the commercial property
should be responsible for the larger share, if not all, the capital
cost. He recommends that the language be left as proposed in stipula-
tion #2.
In response to Commissioner Shanahah, Mr. Marcus advised that if
approval of the subject pro~ect is granted today, the SPD review pro-
cess would be completed in eighteen months, and within the next 36
months the building would be in place.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Marcus specified that the
building will be setback from Pine Ridge Road approximately 20 feet
with the majority of the buffering being provided for the residential
area.
Mr. Lord clarified that the interconnect would be between the
Moose Lodge and the proposed project which will allow the traffic from
both sites to access from either the subject slte's access from Pine
Ridge Road or from Castello Drive. He added that the capital cost for
the signal could be shared with the Moose Lodge.
Christopher Smith, representing the Moose Lodge, stated that with
the interconnect that this petition will provide there will be access
to the activity center which will eliminate traffic from Pine Ridge
Road. He pointed out that a traffic signal at Pine Ridge Road in
front of the subject property would greatly benefit Pine Ridge Estates
residents to the north. He commented that the Moose Lodge strongly
supports this petition.
George Vega, speaking on behalf of the petitioner, advised that
originally the petitioner requested C-4 zoning which he would be
entitled to; however, the County staff requested that, in order to
provide more control on the pro~ect, the petitioner apply for a PUD
which he did. He related that. slnqe C-4 zoning is appropriate and the
petitioner has done all staff has asked and met the standards set, he
Page 10
March 26, 1991
does not understand why a commercial PUD is in question.
Commissioner Volpe reiterated that he does not see the justifica-
tion for additional commercial use at the subject location.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 10, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition CCSL-90-16,
filed by Vladimir Ryziw, Collier County Transportation Services,
representing the Board of County Commissioners, requesting a variance
from the Coastal Construction Setback Line (CCSL), as required by
Collier County Ordinance 75-19, as amended to allow 1) dune restora-
tion and re-vegetation, and 2} construction of two elevated connector
boardwalks and portions of two proposed bathhouse facilities at the
Lely Beach Preserve Park facility located in Sections 6 and 7,
Township 48 South, Range 25 East.
Page 11
March 26, 1991
Environmental Specialist Prynoski stated that the petitioner is
requesting a variance of one foot to plus or minus eight feet from an
established line in order to construct two elevated boardwalks which
will connect to the three existing dune walkovers at the park. She
advised that also requested is a variance for portions of two elevated
boardwalks which will connect from the proposed boardwalks to the pro-
posed bathhouse facilities. She noted that the proposed project is in
compliance with the Growth Management Plan and the Coastal Zone
Protection Act. She related that the boardwalk will follow an
existing path which ls already void of vegetation. She pointed out
that stipulation #1 addresses the concern of structural integrity of
the boardwalk and dune system. She explained that the benefits of the
proposed project will eliminate foot traffic across the back and front
dune systems, will maintain the integrity of the dune system for
coastal protection of the Lely Beach area, and provide handicap access
to the bathhouse facility and the boardwalk system. In referring to
stipulations #4, #5 and #6, she addressed the wildlife concern. She
pointed out on the display map the location of the proposed project
and its layout. She cited that stipulation #3 addresses the concern
of the bald eagle specifically. She reported that there is concern
regarding the bald eagle because they have been utilizing the
Australian pines for' feeding and perching purposes, and what is pro-
posed is to provide an artificial perch. She referred to the letter
from the Fish and Wildlife Service, dated February 13, 1991, which
stated that since the trees in question are not located in the primary
or secondary zone of an eagle nest, they endorse the proposed project.
In response to Commissioner Volpe's question on funding sources
for the project, Mr. Archibald stated the Parks and Recreation
Department has allocated funds from their impact fees to address the
construction costs. Mr. Archibald noted that the cost estimates pro-
vided in the staff report reflect the expense of the boardwalk and the
bathhouse but not the parking areas which in some areas already exist.
County Attorney Cuyler confirmed Commissioner Volpe's statement
Page 12
March 26, 1991
that if it is found that there is sufficient public service, a need
for the bald eagle, and the agreement for the eventual removal of the
trees, the Australian pines would not need to be removed at this time.
Alice Say/or provided handouts for the Commissioners and read a
letter which is in opposition to the removal of the Australian Pines.
In reference to the letter, Ms. Saylot noted that she has a list of
names of the people who have witnessed the bald eagle utilizing these
trees for their hunting and perching needs which has become very
limited due to the development in the subject area. Other reasons to
preserve the trees, she identified were that they would not interfere
with the sea turtle nesting, and they provide shade for the public as
well as animals. She requested that some of the Australian pines be
preserved. She identified on the display map the trees where the bald
eagles have been sited. She added that she does not see the purpose
or need for the interconnect.
Gommtssioner Saunders questioned if Ms. Saylot would go with staff
and identify these trees on the property which would then be pre-
served. Ms. Say/or agreed.
Gary Beardaley, a Collier County resident, suggested an alter-
native to the removal of all the Australian pines would be to identify
a selected few and kill them, leaving the dead tree for perching. He
noted that this has been done successfully in other areas. He stated
that he does not understand the need for the interconnect.
Mr. Archibald pointed out that the interconnec~ will connect the
parking and beach walkovers to the future bathhouse facilities and
will eliminate the public from walking through the dunes and
disrupting the natural animal habitat and vegetation.

County Manager Dorrtll suggested that the Board review Mr.
Beardsley proposal regarding Injecting and killing the Australian
pines. Ms. Prynoskl noted that the Department of Natural Resources
may object to allowing the trees to live because they do cause dune
erosion.

APPROVED 0F CASE NOS. 90-8101GN AND 90-4545GN AND
I~fENDI~NTS TO THE ZONING R~-[t~ALUATION ORDINANCE
Commissioner Saunders thanked all those involved for their
cooperation and hard work in getting to this point where a settlement
is possible. He stated the settlement before the Board of County
Com~issioners this date is a win-win situation for the citizens of
Collier County. He noted The Citizens Political Action Committee and
James Kessler &re interested in trying to help the Board develop a
better Comprehensive Plan which will provide more public input. He
said the settlement provides an opportunity for citizens of Collier
County to intervene in the zoning re-evaluation process, which he
believes will help the Board make better zoning decisions and more
effectively implement the zoning re-evaluation program. He mentioned
the settlement will also save the County from expending approximately
$15,000 to $30,000 in litigation and other costs associated with this
case. Unfortunately, he said, the settlement leaves two cases pending
which are scheduled for hearing on July 22, 1991. He stated it may be
appropriate for the Board to consider whether or not to continue
having a Commissioner meet with The Citizens Political Action
Committee and other parties in the two remaining administrative
hearings, to explore the possibility of other grounds of settlement.
He concluded by recommendlng that the Board approve the proposed
settlement.
County Attorney Guylet noted page ! of the Agreement contains
reference to two possible Intervenors, Antaramlan Development
Corporation and McAlplne (Briarwood). He asked the Board to strfke
those because they are withdrawing their petition to intervene. He
reviewed the consequences of the Settlement Agreement and the pro-
posed amendments to the Zoning.Re-evaluation Ordinance (ZRO). He
concluded with a recommendation that the Board execute the Settlement
Agreement and proceed with the amendment to the ZRO as contemplated
,27
Page 15
March 26, 1991
by the Agreement.
Commissioner Volpe asked if there has been any discussion
regarding "sanctions", i.e., costs or attorneys fees with respect to
prevailing party? Commissioner Saunders indicated in the negative,
adding that the theory is, if a property owner wants to appeal, he
will pay his application fee, which will not exceed $100. He stated
if a property owner's compatibility exception prevails, the applicant
will not be charged any costs associated with that.
Comumissioner Shanahan communicated that he is not totally comfor-
table with the broad approach contained in the settlement, however,
since it such an important element of the agreement, he will not take
exception.
Dudley Goodlette with Gummings & Lockwood, stated he is repre-
senting several clients who have had compatibility exception applica-
tions pending for four or more months, which would have been processed
by this date were it not for the intervention of this Settlement
Agreement. He said his clients own parcels which are not currently
usable by them. He explained most of the properties are currently
zoned C-4 with applications pending requesting C-4 zoning be
retained. He added most of the parcels have been redesignated as
residential at three units per acre. He noted the dilemma his clients
find themselves in is, the property is not usable for commercial
because their compatibility exceptions have not been granted and is
not usable as residential without going through the rezoning process.
He indicated his believe that a strong argument can be made on behalf
of those owners that a temporary taking of their properties has
been affected by further delays in implementing the exceptions con-
templated by the ZRO. He also communicated his concern on the
substantive issue of the broad standing contained in the Settlement
Agreement, as alluded to by Commissioner Shanahah.
County Attorney Cuyler pointed out that those properties would
have been subject to zoning re-evaluation but for their application
for exceptions, therefore, they have chosen to go that route. He
Page 16
March 26, 1991
disagreed with Mr. Goodlette's assertion of a temporary taking of pro-
perty. He added those owners do have an option to come in and get the
fezone. He said the Growth Management Department continues to work on
the applications for compatibility exception, and the intervention of
this agreement will only delay the process an additional month or so.
In his opinion, he said, the owners in question would not be able to
establish damages because building permits cannot be issued until
after the Comprehensive Plan is amended for those compatibility excep-
tions.
Commissioner Saunders mentioned he is also concerned about the
breadth of standing, but feels that on balance, this is a good
Settlement AGreement.
Mr.-Goodlette asserted he has some technical language problems
with Exhibit "A" and suggested he meet with County Attorney Cuyler to
discuss them, to which County Attorney Guylet agreed.

Co~tsstoner Goodnight thanked Commissioner Saunders for his
efforts in making the Settlement Agreement possible. She asked County
Attorney Cuyler to continue to work out the problems still pending.
She mentioned, however, if The Citizens Political Committee had taken
part in the public hearings on the Growth Hanagement Plan, some of
these Items could have been worked out at that time. She urged them
in the future to co~untcate .with the Board of County Commissioners
and the public by participating in the process instead of sending
their concerns through the appeals procedure.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 10, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition AW-91-1,
filed by Philip and Dolores Constantine of Constantino's Pasta House,
599 South Collier Boulevard, requesting waiver of separation require-
ment between places of business serving alcoholic beverages and an
established church, for property located on Tract B, Marco Beach, Unit
7.
Planner Mulhere stated that the petitioners are seeking a 75 foot
waiver from the required 500 separation between establishments serving
alcoholic beverages and a House of Worship (Marco Island Jewish
Center). He indicated that the representatives from the Jewish Center
have been notified and do not object to the requested waiver. He
related that Staff reviewed the factors in the Zoning Ordinance and
recommends approval of said petition, and the CCPC subsequently recom-
mended approval of same.
Commissioner Volpe recalled a similar petition from last week and
questioned how Mr. Mulhere distinguishes the two. Mr. Mulhere
explained that the subject restaurant is within a shopping center and
is a sit down facility, and the church is not objecting. He indicated
that Winterberry Drive is a two laned, very well traveled roadway on
the Island.
Commissioner Shanahah advised that a restaurant with full liquor
availability is located next door, and on the same side of the street
as the subject restaurant.
Commissioner Volpe cited that statutory criteria states that there
is to be a natural man-made boundary structure feature lying between
Page 18
March 26, 1991
the establishment and an existing church, etc. Mr. Mulhere stated
that a pedestrian would still be required to walk a greater distance
than 500'.
Commissioner Volpe noted that he is having difficulty in
distinguishing this petition from others that have been presented.
It was the consensus of the Commission to hold off taking action
on this item until Commissioner Saunders returns to the meeting.
Upon the return of Commissioner Saunders, Mrs. Dolores Constantinc
advised that there is another restaurant that already has its beer and
wine license and is located within the same shopping center. She
noted that she chose an end unit location for her restaurant since
parking would be better accommodated but unfortunately, was unaware
that this corner location would prevent her from obtaining the desired
license, or she would have chosen another location around the corner.
She indicated that the Jewish Center has provided a letter of no
ob3~ction to the beer and wine license.
Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
replied that he concurs with Commissioner Volpe in a sense that the
Commission should be very strict in granting these types of waivers.
He noted that the fact that the church does not disagree with the
petition should not be taken into consideration since this is an ordi-
nance which Is County-wide and is not regulated by any religious
group. He indicated that this petition is one which is very close and
if the portal-to-portal is considered, it is 900' He recommended that
the Board approve the waiver.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
February 24, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition SMP-90-33,
filed by W. Terry Cole, of Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc., repre-
senting Associates of Livingston Road, Ltd., requesting Subdivision
Master ~lan approval for Livingston Road Country Club, located at the
proposed intersection of the proposed north/south and proposed
east/west extensions of Livingston Road, consisting of 482 acres.
Planner Bellows reported that this item is a request for sub-
division master plan approval for the Livingston Road County Club
Subdivision. He noted that the objective of this petition is to sub-
divide a 482 acre site into 407 single-family lots built around a golf
course facility. He indicated that the property is located within the
urban residential area and is designated on the Future Land Use Map as
a base density of 4 dwelling units per acre, however, the petitioner
proposes a base density of .84 dwelling units per acre. He advised
that all pertinent agencies have reviewed the petition and is deter-
mined to be consistent with the Growth Management Plan. He explained
that no correspondence has been received with regard to this petition,
noting that the Collier County Planning Commission reviewed and
recommend approval of same, subject to staff's stipulations.
Commissioner Volpe noted that the stipulations provide that no
development may occur until such time that the petitioner can
demonstrate legitimate legal access to the property. He questioned
whether there is a commitment from the petitioner that he will
construct Livingston Road, east and west from U.S. 41 to the site.
Mr. Bellows replied that the petitioner may do some of the work but
desires that the MSTU provide most of the construction.
Page 20
March 26, 1991
Gouissioner Volpe stated that there have been concerns in the
past with regard to the traffic in that segment of the County.
Mr. Terry Cole of Hole, Montes & Associates, representing the
petitioner, explained that the first alternative is to construct a
portion of the east/west Livingston Road from U.S. 4! to the project
entrance, as addressed in the stipulations. He noted that if delays
should be experienced, stipulations provide for access to the project
from other areas, i.e. Imperial Street from the north coming from Lee
County. He reported that the petitioner will have to prove that he
has the right-of-way to construct the utility facilities to serve the
project, but a portion of the development may begin prior to the
completion of Livingston Road.
Com~issioner Hasse asked if the petitioner would be completing
Livingston Road from the entrance of the project to Old U.S. 41, to
which Mr. Cole replied that a development agreement relative to same
is currently being reviewed by the Transportation Department.
Mr. Rick Miller, representing the owners of the subject property,
stated that the number one game plan is for this project to be served
by Livingston Road which is to be built by the taxing district. He
noted that if for some reason the Livingston Road MSTU is abolished,
the developer will construct a two laned road from the entrance of the
project to U.S. 41. He noted that during the time of construction of
Livingston Road, construction traffic will access the project via
.Imperial Street in Lee County. He indicated that development of the
project will be held off until such time that the permitting process
and construction plans for Livingston Road are moving along smoothly.
Gommissioner Volpe questioned whether Mr. Miller is prepared to
commit that construction traffic will access the project from Imperial
Street in Lee County, to which Mr. Miller replied affirmatively.
In answer to Gommisstoner Hasse, Mr. Miller reported that the
County has submitted permits to the Corps of Engineers and DER, to
include a north/south segment as well as the east/w~st segment to
Livingston Road. He indicated that those agencies have specifically
Page 21
March 26, 1991
prohibited the developer from submitting a permit for only the
east/west section of the road. He explained that they want to act on
a permit for the entire system, but if there are delays, the agencies
would allow the developer to come back and submit a permit for only
the east/west portion.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the applicant is willing to
work with the County to obtain a permit to build the east/west corri-
dor, regardless of whether the MSTU is in place or not. Mr. Miller
stated that if the MSTU does not proceed, he is willing to commit to
build the east/west section.

Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that her report includes
the consideration of the hearinG officer procedure in addition to an
Independent Board of Zoning Appeals. She noted that she has already
presented the Commission with a large packet, including her memorandum
and recommendation.
Assistant County Attorney W/lson advised that a portion of her
packet includes a report from the Lee County Attorney's office,
reveal/nG their recommendat/on to use a Hearing officer; sample ordi-
nances that other counties are operating under at this time for the
Independent Board of Zoning Appeals process and the Hearing Officer
procedure. She noted that there was not sufficient time to include a
cost analysis in her report.
Mrs. Wilson adv/sed that the eight page report contained in the
Executive Summary reflects what the Planning Commission is doing, what
the Commission as the Board of Zoning Appeals ks doing, and what the
Planning Commission is forwardinG to be heard by the Board of County
Commissioners. She noted that the next portion of her report outlines
what other count/es are doing.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson explained that Lee County is the
only county in Florida that ut/ltzes a HearinG Officer extensively.
Mrs. Wilson reported that she has reviewed statistics that she
received from the County Manager's Office wh/ch itemizes the various
issues that are heard by the Planning Commission and the Board of
Zoning Appeals. She noted that the analysis reveals that there are
not a lot of ~tems on the agenda that are heard with the Commission
sitting as the Board of Zoning Appeals. She indicated that Generally,
there is an average of § such items per month being heard. She
remarked that the beauty of the Hearing Officer process is that many
add/t/onal items could be removed from the weekly agenda and this is
Page 23
March 26, 1991
an advantage over the Independent Board.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that if there is an
Independent Board, staff time may actually be increased, since they
would be ~equired to be at two Board meetings for whatever time it
takes to get to the particular item that they are involved with. She
indicated that there is the possibility of a conflict of interest with
a lay board, but the advantage is that these people volunteer their
time and there is no cost as far as having to pay another staff per-
son. She noted that if there is a cost analysis, she does not believe
that there would be a significant savings since there would be staff
time ~nvolved with assistinG that Board as opposed to having an
employee who would not need that staff assistance.
,Mrs. Wilson remarked that a Hearing Officer is not permitted to
discuss cases before they are heard and therefore, there would be no
problem relative to special interest lobbying. She indicated that the
HearinG Officer's decision is supposed to be based on interpreting
whatever he is called upon to review. She cited that the disadvantage
to this p~ocess, is that there is only a one shot deal.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson detailed that the Board of County
Comm~ssioners has the ability to delegate hearings on all matters that
currently come before the Board, with the ex~eption of Legislative
D~ties, i.e. rezonings, zoning amendments, amendments to the Comp
Plan, and final decisions on DRI's or PUD's. She explained that the
remainder of the items that are heard by the CCPC and the Board of
Zoning Appeals could be delegated to the Hearing Officer and there are
two ways to do this: 1. Delegate these issues to the Hearing Officer
with decisions being appealed to the Board and the Circuit Court;
Appeal of the Hearing Officer's decision directly to the Circuit
Court; 3. Or, a combination of the two.
Mrs. Wilson advised that Lee County has a hybrid process since
they had concerns about giving up their connection to a lot of these
things. She related that the Hearing Officer hears the various items
but ~f someone desires to appeal the decision, two Commissioners may
Page 24
March 26, 1991
request that the item be added to their regular agenda, She noted
that this process defeats the purpose of taking some of the things off
the agenda. She explained that a time savings would be experienced by
delegating these things to a Hearing Officer. She reported that Lee
County experienced a full 15 days of savings in 1989; and the flip
side of the coin, if the present system remains, is that a minimum of
2-1/2 to 3 days per year would be added to the agenda.
Commissioner Hasse replied that he is not anxious in delegating
his responsibility to any individual or any other group, and noted
that he does not see the savings in any shape or form.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson stated that the intent is not to
alleviate the Board's responsibilities. She pointed out that Lee
Cotznt¥ sets a time certain for the particular hearings and this is
very efficient from the staff's point of view since they only wait for
the particular item that they are involved with and may return to
their offices to process additional applications.
Commissioner Saunders voiced concurrence with Commissioner Hasse's
remark relative to delegating the responsibilities that the Commission
was elected to do, but noted that the issue at hand is to find a way
for the responsibilities to be performed more efficiently, and to
handle the real issues in a more effective manner. He indicated that,
i.e. the determination of whether a 1" variance from a side setback
lot should be allowed could be made by a Hearing Officer.
Commissioner Volpe cited that it appears that the motivating fac-
tor is to achieve greater efficiency, but noted that the Hearing
Officer's budget this year in Lee County is $250,000 and is proposed
to be $500,000 for next year. He suggested that before the existing
system is changed, perhaps staff could address some of the issues
administratively. He questioned the number of hours that are spent
relative to the Board of Zoning Appeals and public petitions that have
not been reviewed by staff. He noted that he is concerned about
moving full tilt ahead, until some of the other opportunities are
explored to become more efficient.
Page 25
March 26, 1991
Mrs. Wilson advised that the approximate start up costs in Lee
County to establish their Hearing Officer was $180,000, but when
people are asking to be heard, these costs can be taken out of the
fees.
Commissioner Shanahan stated that at this particular time with the
economy, he hesitates adding any additional personnel unless it can be
cost Justified. He noted that he does not believe that the community
is adding any type of bureaucracy without that benefit.
Commissioner Hasse reported that he just received a message from
Lee County that the vast percentage of the people are dissatisfied
with the Hearing Officer process.
Commissioner Goodnight reminded the Commission that this item is
something that the Productivity Committee asked the Commission to look
into. She stated that she believes that a Hearing Officer, who would
be paid through application fees, could review the following:
Variances; Provisional Uses; Appeals of the Zoning Director's
Interpretations of the Zoning Code; Non-Conforming uses changed to
another non-conforming use; Non-conforming single family; mobile home
or duplex which is altered, expanded or replaced; and shared parking
agreements and off-site parking agreements if the currently proposed
amendments to the parking section of the Zoning Ordinance are adopted.
She explained that she would like to see the Planning Commission and
the Board of County Commissioners continue to review: Zoning
requests; amendments to the Zoning Ordinance; Moratorta Ordinances;
Impact Fees; Growth Management Plan and Amendments thereto; Land
Development Ordinances; DRI process; and Provisional Uses.

Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that he concurs with Commissioner Hasse's remarks that the
Commission should not delegate its authority to anyone else. He indi-
cated that a Hearing Officer would need to be tremendously
knowledgeable, and paid well for that expertise. He suggested that a
policy be established for staff to review carnival permits and various
petitions and submit written reports with their recommendations to the
COmmiSsion. He reported that the services of a Hearing Officer would
also require 2 or 3 secretaries to assist with the clerical work.
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, representing herself and the League of
Women Voters of Collier County, remarked that Collier County is a
growing community. She expressed that it does not appeal to the
League to have all the responsibilities of same borne by the five
Commissioners as an example of the most efficient way to go. She
indicated that she believes that Mrs. Wilson's report is a good one
and one that should be pursued further with regard to costs, etc., but
there are areas that the Commission should not be actively subjected
to. She stated that the League supports the initial report and
suggested that the Commission use some foresight in the growth that
the Co~-~ty is experiencing.

had a target area which included a portion of the Collier Village PUD.
He noted that there was a $650,000 grant to install the roads, street
improvements, water, sanitary sewer, drainage, and retention ponds.
He requested that the target area be extended to Include all of
Collier Village, and noted that the Block Grant will be used as the
primar~ source of funding and the $110,000 from the Pocket of Poverty
will be used as a supplemental grant to complete the project.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
March 10, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition V-91-2,
filed by Attorney Darla Romic, representing Casa Grande on Vanderbilt
Beach Condominium, requesting variances from the required front and
side yard setbacks, and a variance to use barbed wire in conjunction
with chain link fencing along the boundaries of the condomtntum's off-
site parking, in a RT zone for the ~esterly 131.6 feet of the
Southerly 68.0 feet of Lot l?, Block B, Unit 1, Connors Vanderbilt
Estates.
Planner Arnold stated that the Casa Grande Condominium is
requesting a 4 foot variance from the required 20 foot front yard set-
back to 16 feet, a 7'4" variance from the 20 foot rear yard setback
and a 13 foot variance from the required sideyard vartance in order to
construct covered parking. In addition, he advised that the peti-
tioner is requesting the ability to use barbed wire for security pur-
poses at the parking facility. He noted that the subject condominium
is located north of Vanderbilt Beach Road on Gulf Shore Drive.
Mr. Arnold advised that if granted, this variance request would
allow 16 of the 18 off-site parking spaces to be covered. He indi-
cated that the Collier County Planning Commission heard this petition
on March ?, 1991, modified the petitioner's request, and recommended
that only the side yard variance be granted s~nce the petitioner would
still be able to cover some of the parking without violating the front
and rear yard setback requirements. He stated that Staff is of the
opinion that there is no hardship on the land and therefore, recom-
mends denial.
Page 29
March 26, ~99!
Mr. Arnold pointed out that two letters of objection have been
received, citing concerns with regard to landscaping and the barbed
wire.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Planner Arnold reported that
the Planning Commission felt that the last two parking spaces in the
rear would allow 20' to meet the rear yard setbacks and the same would
apply to the front parking area which would result in 14 covered spa-
Attorney Leonard Rena representing the petitioner, stated that the
barbed wire issue is probably an overkill with regard to security and
he has no objection to eliminating same from the request. He indi-
cated that he believes that the covered parking area would make the
area more aesthetically appealing. He pointed out that there are
other condominiums in the ar~a that have exactly what is being pro-
posed but staff's memo of February 15, 1991, states that "the intent
of the zoning ordinance is to regulate property development in the
interest of protecting and promoting the public health, safety, com-
fort, order, appearance, convenience, morals, and general welfare",
noting that it is staff's opinion that the granting of this variance
will not be detrimental to the public welfare. He requested that the
Board follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Rena advised that he feels
that a hardship results from the fact that when these condos were con-
ceived ten years ago, covered parking was not an amenity that was
demanded by the cost of the real estate that currently exists.
Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that he does not see how the Commission can approve the subject
request since it is very similar to the same type of request that was
denied on Marco Island a few weeks ago.

Planner Milk stated that the purpose of this item is to seek
direction from the Commission to amend the Zoning Ordinance to provide
development regulations for communication towers.
Mr. Milk explained that presently, communication towers are being
erected throughout Collier County at an increasing rate and the County
represents a new service area/market area being inundated with these
requests. He noted that the number of new towers that may be needed
in a particular area is directly related to the demands of broad-
casters and other users. He reported that based on information from
the Federal Communications Commission, the demand for new towers is
expected to increase by 80% - 1§0~ by the end of this decade.
Planner Milk divulged that Cellular One, Ameritech and Mobilnet
are presently competing for geographic transmission sites in Collier
County. He affirmed that these companies have approximately 50-75
transmission sites proposed.
Mr. Milk remarked that as the demand for transmission towers
increases with the growth in the number and types of communications
systems, Collier County should be aware of the problems associated
with siting, construction and operating these facilities. He pointed
out that effective regulation can facilitate the development and use
of these communication systems without imposing an unreasonable burden
on Collier County.
Mr. Milk stated that presently, communication towers are a per-
mitred principal use in the Industrial Zoning District, and are
conditionally allowed in every other Zoning District, subject to cri-
teria set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, but noted that Section 13
fails to provide specific criteria and development regulations for the
following: yard requirements; electromagnetic transmission/radiation;
Page 33
March 26, 1991
height limitations; type (monopole versus tower); screening; buf-
fering; coloration; number of towers per site and shared use of
towers. He reported that staff has found reviewing these petitions
without specific development regulations, forces inconsistent recom-
mendations and stipulations during the review and public hearing pro-
ces~.
Planner Milk advised that other communities throughout the country
regulate tower sites by enforcing very strict development criteria.
He noted that staff proposes the following outline in which to
generate an ordinance regulating communication towers in Collier
County: minimize adverse visual effects of towers through careful
design, siting and vegetation screening; avoid potential damage to
ad3acent properties from tower failure through engineering and careful
siting of tower structures; maximize use of any new transmission
tower, i.e. shared use of the tower by a number of antennas to reduce
the number of towers needed; allow every district within the Zoning
Ordinance to be a Provisional Use; and analyze the height of towers in
the various districts.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the Commission could declare
an emergency temporary moratorium with respect to the construction of
these communication towers in the Industrial District and as alter-
native, allow a petitioner to use the Provisional Use method.
Cotznty Attorney Cuyler replied that there is a way to do this, but
he would need to coordinate with Staff to determine the timetables on
some of the site development plans that are in process. Commissioner
Volpe suggested that County Attorney Cuyler look into this mechanism
and advise the Commission within the next two weeks.
Mr. Bill Kenary, resident of the Crossings, stated that there is
currently a tower 280' in height approximately 70' from his backyard.
He indicated that if the Commission does not give GTE the right to
relocate this tower, his neighborhood will be impacted greatly. He
suggested that a closer look should be taken at an industrial use
abutting a residential area, and noted that there should be atran-
Page 34
sition zone.

Mr. Carmine Dapice stated that he owns a home with § acres on
Trinity Place. He voiced concerns with regard to the recent installa-
tion of a 330' tower in his backyard which could cause lightning, pro-
perty devaluation, and harmful cancer.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Planner Milk advised that notifi-
cation is provided to those property owners within 300' of these
sites.
Mr. Paul Rodinsky, representing the homeowners of Trinity Place,
stated that he has spoken with representatives from GTE who have
informed him that they will not be placing their tower on Mr. Bastk's
property but instead, will purchase the Gulf Rolling Tower and utilize
same. He stated that the New York Times reported that the EPA was
outraged that the Federal Government would not allow them to release a
report regarding the electromagnetic fields and the cancer caused from
same. He suggested that these towers be placed at least I/2 mile to 1
mile from any residential area and they should have a fence with
barbed wired around them.
Mr. Frank Heaton, Director of Operations, Cellular One, stated
that nine months ago he inquired about the regulations for building a
tower, and nine months later, he still does not know what the regula-
tions are. He indicated that he has submitted one application to
build a tower to replace an existing tower on Shirley Street. He
noted that he proposes to construct a tower that bends, but will not
fall down. With regard to lightning damage, he advised that towers
are natural conductors and draw lightning strikes away, and if pro-
perly grounded, they will be a source of improved protection. He
noted that he understands the concerns of aesthetics and the
surrounding neighborhood and offered to work with staff to develop
fair and reasonable standards that exercise a proper degree of com-
munity sens~tivity, but urged the Commission to support a resolution
for the development of towers since there is a strong demand for this
service.
Page 35
":" March 26, 199!
Mr. Heaton affirmed that since September, 1990, he has proposed 12
towers, 9 of which have been approved for construction by the FCC and
the other 3 are for fill in locations to respond to the capacity
requirements for the system to handle the future need. He indicated
that he desires to build all the towers within a 24 month time frame
and there should be no need to require any additional towers within
the next 10 years after that build-out.
Mr. Fred Tarrant voiced concerns with respect to the low level of
radiation that is not fictitious. He noted that this is something
that cannot be seen or felt and may not be detected without pro-
fessional testing. He indicated that there are a number of law suits
pending in the United States today, relative to brain tumors and can-
cers which are believed to have been developed through exposures to
towers through low level magnetic radiation. He urged the Commission
to take these health matters extremely seriously. He pointed out that
~f these towers are going to pick up the lightning strikes, there
should be an ordinance which re~lres a high and secure fence.

In an~er to Co~issioner Volpe, Planner Milk advised that
Plying Services is currently reviewing two towers for site develop-
ment pl~ approval within the Industrial D~strict. He reported that
staff would be in favor of holding ~n abeyance any new towers, but
noted that he ~s unsure how to handle the present in-house appleca-
t ions.
Oo~ty Attorney Cuyler stated that he w~11 meet with Mr. Bag~nski
~d he will advise the Commission as to what is in the process and
whether any problems are anticipated.
Mr. Bob Kersteen, GTE Mobilnet offered to work with staff and the
'~ comity. He affirmed that he has met with the residents of ~he
':'' "Crossings" noting that plans are being formulated to move the site
Page 36
March 26, 1991
with the cooperation of National Development. He advised that an
agreement has been forwarded to purchase the 330' tower in the East
Trail area rather than build another structure. He reported that his
company intends to purchase another site in the J & C Industrial Park
and move the site from the Crossings. He noted that he understands
the concerns of the neighborhood.

Assistant County Manager McLemore explained that on January 21st,
the Board approved the concept for a five-year financing plan for the
County road system. He said a $13-millton interim issue was discussed
in that plan. He noted in February, the Board approved the County's
membership in the Florida Association of Counties Commercial Paper
Loan Pool. He said the $13-million loan facility brought forth in
this agenda item is through that pool. He indicated the
Transportation Department has $27-million in critical project needs
over the next two years with $14-million in cumulative revenues over
that same period. He stated the intent is to make up that gap with
this $13-mllllon Interim loan.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Tom Glblin, Bond Counsel, replied
the draw is currently scheduled to occur during the first week of
April, 1991.
Commissioner Volpe communicated his continued concern with not
knowing how much will ultimately be borrowed or how the construction
projects will be permanently financed.
Assistant County Manager McLemore advised that the only projects
being addressed are those critical to concurrency, and the gap of
revenues to expenses will be affected with the potential of increasing
impact fees, therefore, the situatio~ can only get better than it
BOOPal2§

currently is.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald, in answer to
Commissioner Saunders, stated if the interim financing plan is not
approved, a number of major construction projects will not proceed.
Oo%lnty Attorney Cuyler added that there is the potential of
imposing a moratorium if this is not approved, which will cause a set-
back by one year of Mr. Archibald's five year plan.
Commissioner Saunders stated that realistic decisions need to be
made on whether or not to build the roads. He said if they are not
going to be built, then the Board needs to start the moratorium pro-
cess. He asked what suggestions Commissioner Volpe might have to
solve the problem without the interim financing plan?
Commissioner Volpe reiterated that he is interested in knowing
the actual amount, if any, of the shortfall and how the Board intends
to finance that shortfall.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated his belief that, to delay this
opportu/~tty will be disastrous to the community. He called attention
to the fact that impact fees, and possibly a County-wide road
assessment district as well as gasoline taxes have been Identified as
vehicles to support an interim financing program.
Co~issioner Hasse asked Mr. McLemore to identify how the funds
will be repaid, to which he replied there are a number of choices
available to the Board. Included, he said, is the possibility of an
assessment district, gas or sales taxes, or two installments from
the one ~ill fund.
County Manager Dotrill interjected that the Board, by unanimous
vote in January, directed Staff to bring back an interim construction
loan that will not exceed the County's current revenue availability to
repay that debt service, which is what they have done.
Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Women Voters of
Collier County, agreed with previous comments made by Commissioner
Volpe.
Page 38
March 26, 1991
George Keller, President of the Collier County Civic Federation,
suggested the Board use available funds and pay for them as they are
built, rather than borrow the money.
Fred Tarrant, speaking for the Taxpayers Action Group, com-
municated his belief that it will be a gross injustice to the tax-
payers of Collier County if this plan is approved without knowing
clearly where the money will come from for repayment.
Linda Lawson, representing the Collier County Builders and
Contractors Association, informed the Board that her organization has
formed a task force that is monitoring all the County activities in
regard to the impact fee study and the implementation of a special
district. She said they are looking forward to working with Staff in
that regard. She concluded her group feels the interim financing plan
is a riscally responsible avenue to take, and one which they fully
support.
