Agenda 06/09/2015 Item #16A17 6/9/2015 16.A.17.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a waiver in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the
Advance Street Name Sign Guidelines policy and Resolution No. 2012-114 for the
placement of advance street name guide signs along Immokalee Road (CR 846) at the
approaches to Pebblebrooke Drive.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) considers approving a waiver
in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Advance Street Name Guidelines policy and
Resolution 2012-114 for the placement of advance street name signs along Immokalee Road (CR
846) ) at the approaches to Pebblebrooke Drive.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Pebblebrooke Lakes Master Association (PLMA) Board is
requesting to have Advanced Street Name Signs installed along Immokalee Road at
Pebblebrooke Drive. Pebblebrooke Drive is a minor roadway to a private residential
development. On June 26, 2012 under item 16A.16, the Board approved the Advance Street
Name Guidelines policy. Elements of the Guidelines that pertain to a private development are the
following:
1. The minor roadway has an Average Daily Traffic of 2,000 vehicles per day
2. The requests to install, advance street names signs must be approved by the Collier
County Traffic Operations section.
3. Advance street name signs shall only be used to identify critical or significant cross
streets. They are not intended to identify destinations such as cities, facilities, or
residential neighborhoods.
4. Collier County shall maintain all approved advance street name signs. A right-of- way
permit, the cost of installation, replacement and maintenance of advance street name
signs for private streets or those not open to the public shall be the responsibility of the
private development. Signs shall be removed when the signs no longer meet current
standards.
5. Typically signs in both directions are required on the major roadway. Signs shall be
installed in advance of the intersection in accordance with the most current edition of the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
6. A waiver from the requirements herein may be requested by written application to Collier
County Traffic Operations. Traffic Operations will present the request to the Board for
approval.
Staff has evaluated the conditions under which such a request can be granted and has determined
that a waiver of the Guidelines will be necessary to approve the request. On April 20, 2015, the
PLMA submitted an application for a waiver in writing to the Traffic Operations Chief Engineer.
There is no cost to the County associated with waiving the requirements as the costs for material,
installation and maintenance of the signs will be borne by the private homeowners association
(HOA).

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost associated with waiving the requirements of the policy for
the advance street name guide signs. Further, there shall be no cost to the County for installation
of advance street name guide signs for private roadways. For intersections with private
roadways, the right-of-way permit cost, material cost, installation cost and replacement cost of
Advance Street name guide signs shall be the responsibility of the Pebblebrooke Master
Association HOA and/or developers desiring to install signs on county highways for private
roadways.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval.—SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the BCC approves the waiver authorizing Pebblebrooke Lakes
Master Association HOA to install advance street name signs along Immokalee Road (CR 846)
at Pebblebrooke Drive in accordance with Resolution 2012-114, Item 2d.

Dear Mr. Khawaja,
The Board of Directors of Pebblebrooke Lakes Master Association would like to request a waiver for a
County Advance Street Sign.The entrance to Pebblebrooke Lakes on Immokalee Road is very difficult to
see if you are driving East on Immokalee. The monument is only visible to drivers from the West, as it
faces West.
Additionally,there is a large preserve on the opposite side of the Immokalee entrance that prevents
Pebblebrooke Lakes from having a monument placed where it would have a better chance of being seen
from the street. The Board had also considered installing a monument on the first island at the
Immokalee entrance; however,the island would have to be placed too far back by county standards to i!
make any real impact on visibility.The easiest and most cost effective solution is an Advance sign as you
are approaching the entrance.
Our request is for a sign approaching our Immokalee entrance only.There is no need for an Advance
Sign at the Collier Blvd(951) entrance to Pebblebrooke Lakes because this entrance is for residents only.
Our problem area is only at the Immokalee entrance where residents,visitors,and vendors have access
to the community. j!
It is understood that Pebblebrooke Lakes has the responsibility to apply for a right of way permit and to
pay for the sign and the installment of the same. It is also understood that Pebblebrooke Lakes would be
responsible for the care and maintenance of this sign.
Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Xs--c,_
Cynthia A. Lee
Community Coordinator
