3. County Manager Jim Mudd introduced Stan Litsinger,
Comprehensive Planning Manger, who gave an overview of the
Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public
Facilities.(Attached) Page changes have been provided. There are
no facility deficiencies that cannot be dealt with.
A. Transportation Facilities
-Traffic volume is up.
-Projected deficiencies are based on what was done for
DCA, looking at all the vested development and adding that to the
system.
-Cleaning out backlog of development that will never occur
would change the projection of when the roadways would fail.
-Past growth is not being used to predict future.
-Populations play large part in calculation and planning;
deficiencies are planned for even though they may not come about.
-Calculations are done based on peak populations; only thing
DCA will need to approve is whether we use two years or five
years.
-Concurrency is the goal.
-Santa Barbara Blvd., questionable as to what improvements
will be made, looking at unconventional solutions that may be
possible.
-Davis Blvd., from Santa Barbara to Collier, projected
reconstruction is 2010.

-Immokalee Road, Oil Well to SR29 is emphasis item, PD&E
money was proposed to be moved over to US 41.
-Commissioner Henning made a recommendation that the
Board instruct staff to include County Work Project as it appears in
the Proposed Transportation 5 Year Work Program and as detailed
in the Collier County Transportation Plan Data Base, Attachment
E, in the next annual CIE update as amended with the application
of reserves outlined in the proposed transportation five year work
plan funding scenario Attachment B to establish a statutorial
requirement financially feasible to the CIE and the Board agreed
with the recommendation.
B. Drainage Canals and Structures
-Tertiary and swails in front of homes have been reduced in
effectiveness due to driveways.
-New culverts should not create or continue problem.
Mr. Ochs stated that drainage issues have not been met. Drainage is
needed in all districts. Should consider setting up independent
authority on drainage. Could use something already in place.
-There is a power dispute between water management utilities.
-Big Cypress Basin answers to Southwest Florida Water
Management.
-Dispute should be resolved in order to better serve taxpayers.
-Voters should approve all taxes.
-Not concurrency issue, but is long-standing issue.

issues.

blocks storm water from draining in to Gordon River. Need
indication on where the project is, what its benefit is to the City of
Naples.

of Commissioners direct staff to include the proposed CIE for 2004
through 2008 projects and studies within the existing
recommendation of revenue resources in the next CIE and
amendments.
(Workshop recessed from 10:07 a.m., to 10:15 a.m.)
C. Park Facilities

will change and facilities will fail to meet new needs.
-Changes can be made according to the needs of the community.
-An area is needed to facilitate use of remote controlled cars,
airplanes and boats.
-There is interest in acquiring cultural center at fairgrounds at
Orange Tree Waterways, would be used by people for many types of
events; could be used for evacuation in event of hurricane. Six lane
highway would allow everyone in County to reach fairgrounds in a
very short period of time.

Fleishmann property.

in.
