March 25,2003 1813 Lee Street, Fort Myers, FL 33901 Dear Friend and Neighbor, .......... On behalf of the employees of Florida Power & Light Company, 1 would like to thank you for participating in the route selection process for the new electric power transmission line proposed for your area. We received over 1,500 surveys back from our mailing, talked to more than 200 people at our public open house events, shared information about the project with over 150 people who called our toll free telephone line, and responded to about 30 email messages. From these contacts, we have developed a project mailing list of over 1,700 people who indicated they wanted to be kept informed about the project. If you are receiving this letter, you are on that mailing list and can expect to receive occasional updates on the Collier-Orange River transmission line project. This letter is to let you know that we have made a decision on the route for the proposed line. A map showing the route is enclosed, and a color version is available on our web site at www.FPL.com, "About Us," "Power Line Projects." Beginning at the Orange River substation east of Fort Myers, the route we have chosen generally follows: · Homestead Lane/Tice Street west for about I mile to an existing FPL transmission line right-of-way · FPL' s transmission line right-of-way south for about 3 miles to SR 82 · , SR 82 southeast for about I ½ miles to an existing FPL transmission line right-of-way - From this same FPL transmission line right-of-way at Buckingham Rd, east about V2 mile and south about I mile, along a section line, to SR 82 o SR 82 southeast for about 6 miles to Green Meadows Road · Green Meadows Road south for about 2 miles to an FPL transmission line right-of-way · FPL's transmission line right-of-way southeast for about 13 Y2 miles to Lee County Co- op transmission line right-of-way · Adjacent to Lee County Co-op's transmission line right-of-way south for about 8 miles to Immokalee Road · Immokalee Road west and south for about 14 V2 miles to the Orangetree substation · From the Orangetree substation to FPL's existing transmission line at Livingston Road, the Collier-Orange River line will utilize the Orangetree transmission line planned for completion at the end of this year. The Orangetree line follows Immokalee Road west for about 5 miles, CR 951 (Collier Boulevard) south for about 5 miles to an FPL transmission line right-of-way just north of Green Boulevard, and the FPL transmission line right-of-way west for about 4 miles to the existing FPL transmission line right-of- way at Livingston Road. · From the FPL transmission line right-of-way at Livingston Road, the route for the Collier-Orange River line continues along Pine Ridge Road west for about 1 mile to Airport-Pulling Road · Airport-Pulling Road south for about 2 1/2 miles to the FPL transmission line right-of-way just north of Golden Gate Parkway · FPL's transmission line right-of-way east for about 1 mile to the Collier substation. an FPL Group company This route was chosen after evaluating almost 4,000 alternatives using objective data as well as taking into consideration a wealth of information provided by all of you. The selected route's chief advantages compared to other routes are: It provides an appropriate balance of the many factors considered important in locating a transmission line (community, environmental, and engineering/cost factors) It has relatively few homes in close proximity. The route generally avoids schools. In the Naples area, where there are a number of schools, and it was difficult to find a route that avoided schools altogether, the preferred route follows roads where the schools are set back a considerable distance from the road. · The line will be collocated with utility and road rights-of-way for almost the entire distance. In the Naples area, the roads being followed are either not scheduled to be widened or, if they are, there is one right-of-way edge that the line may follow that is "fixed". This factor turned out to be important in the route selection because o~' the large number of road widening projects proposed in the area and their long timetable for completion. · The selected route provides a new right-of-way, widely separated from the existing lines connecting the Orange River and Collier substations for mo~t of the way, thereby enhancing the reliability of service to our customers in Southwest Florida. · The route avoids large areas of environmentally sensitive lands in the area, including Corkscrew Swamp and lands purchased by the CREW Trust. · It takes maximum advantage of another FPL project in Collier County, scheduled for completion at the end of this year (the Orangetree transmission line project), so that FPL can meet the need with less new line overall. · Generally, in urban areas, the route offers the opportunity to consolidate the new transmission line with existing distribution lines on a single set of poles. · The line can be built along this route for a reasonable cost. Through our contacts with property owners, residents, and representatives of local groups and organizations, we learned many things that were of great value in choosing a route that would meet the need and, at the same time, minimize the impact of the project on the community and the environment. We would especially like to thank residents of Collier County for their patience and assistance as we extended our study of multiple options in the vicinity of the Collier sub~talion. As we begin the permitting process, we look forward to continuing our close working relationship with the communities we serve. Thank you again for participating and for assisting our project team in the route selection. If you have questions, or would like to discuss the project further, please feel free to contact me or Daniel Hronec, our project engineer. I can be reached at (239) 332-9291. Mr. Hronec's telephone number is (561) 694-4769. Also, we will continue to post new information to the project web site as it becomes available. Again, our web site is located at www. FPL.com, "About Us" and "Power Line Projects." Sincerely, Grover M.

REV. 3124/03 I=PL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT SR 84(DAVIS BOULEVARD) AND CR 951 (COLLIER BOULEVARD) OBJECTIVE: To provide a briefing on the status of the proposed intersection imprOvements at SR 84 and CR 951. CONSIDERATIONS: This project includes widening and improvements to the intersection of Davis Boulevard (S.R. 84) and Collier Boulevard (C,R. 951) (Attachment No. 1). The improvements include the following major items of work: · Addition of a dual northbound to westbound left turn lane from CR 951 to SR 84 and an increase in length of the existing and new lanes. · Addition of a dual southbound to westbound right turn lane from CR 951 to SR 84. · Addition of a dedicated eastbound to southbound right turn lane from SR 84 to CR 951. · Lengthening of the existing dual eastbound to northbound left turn lanes from SR 84 to CR 951. · Median modifications along Davis Boulevard, including a raised traffic separator, to facilitate traffic flow and to minimize vehicle conflicts in the vicinity of the intersection. · Drainage improvements consistent with the added pavement. · Traffic signal modifications to provide adjustments for the new lanes. We must wait until the FDOT FY 2003/2004 begins before awarding the construction contract. This is because of the use of FDOT funds not programmed until FY 2003/2004. We plan to start construction in early July of this year. The construction is estimated to be complete on or before November 1, 2003. FISCAL IMPACT: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will fund most of this project. A Local Agency Agreement (LAP) is being created to use Urban Attributable Dollars in the FDOT FY 2003/2004 Work Program in the amount of $890,000.00. The County will also enter into an Advanced Reimbursement Agreement with the FDOT to use funds from the Davis Boulevard Resurfacing project in the amount of $190,000.00. The County will be responsible for approximately $240,000.00 of the total cost of about $1.32 million. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This area was a portion of one of the three areas placed under moratorium by the Board of County Commissioners earlier this year. The proposed intersection improvements will aid in restoring the roadway segment to an acceptable level of service and permit the Board to rescind the moratorium for this segment. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board accejT{ this sta/t~ report. SUBMITTED BY: /...,:::~;..~Z(i;V,~. ~/~ Date: -/://~/d- :: · "..? ..' .:, .... ...,/ . Edward J Kant>~E/~n-Operatmns D~rec~r / . ?'
