Agenda 06/25/2013 Item #16A15^` EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
6/25/2013 16.A.15.
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairwoman to sign a Cost Share Agreement
between Collier County and Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Homeowners Association in order to
rovide an interim access improvement into Forest Glen.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board approves the attached Cost Share Agreement which will provide
Forest Glen an interim access improvement and reduce the need for U -turns on Collier
Boulevard.
CONSIDERATIONS: Forest Glen has continuously petitioned the County for direct access off
of Collier Boulevard before, during and after the expansion of Collier Boulevard to six lanes. On
January 13, 2009, Item IOB, the County denied Forest Glen's request for direct access from
Collier Boulevard. County staff represented that direct access would require a reduction in the
storage capacity of the dual north bound lefts into Business Circle. This reduction would impede
the functional ability of the dual northbound lefts to properly manage traffic on Collier
Boulevard. Staff was also concerned that the anticipated construction impact of the pending
Davis Boulevard and Collier Boulevard project would further exaggerate that need. The existing
construction project is coming to a close and traffic on Business Circle has not significantly
increased.
At the request of Forest Glen, the County conducted a follow up study on February 12, 2013
(attached). Forest Glen's engineer and the County's engineer have agreed that an interim left turn
directly into Forest Glen can be accommodated as a provisional improvement. The County
routinely makes these adjustments as traffic patterns adjust and as traffic volumes increase or
decrease. Forest Glen had requested that the County should bare the entire cost of this
modification. Since this modification is an interim solution, the parties have agreed that Forest
Glen should be responsible for a portion of the cost.
The County estimates the cost to be less than $100,000. Forest Glen has agreed to participate in
the improvement project as follows:
1. Forest Glen will be fully responsible to provide the approved design plans.
2. The plans will be developed consistent with Exhibit A (attached) and will be reviewed
and approved by the County.
3. The County will act as the construction manager of the project.
4. Forest Glen will pay 50% of the construction cost.
5. Should the Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) exceed $110,000, either party may
unilaterally terminate the agreement.
6. Forest Glen shall have the ability to review the OPC and payment to the County will be
based on the OPC.
7. The County reserves the right at its sole discretion to eliminate the direct access in the
future but will allow Forest Glen at its sole cost to rebuild the access farther south
consistent with Exhibit B (attached).

Staff believes this is a fair and reasonable compromise that does not jeopardize health, safety,
welfare and the functional operation of Collier Boulevard.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County will be responsible for up to $55,000 of construction related cost
for this project.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with
this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved
as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves and authorizes the Chairwoman to sign the
attached Cost Share Agreement with the Forest Glen Golf & Country Club HOA and directs the
County Manger or his designee to execute the project as described.

Traffic Evaluation of Collier Boulevard - Forest Glen Boulevard
Intersection
Prepared by: Eugene Calvert, PE, PTOE
February 12, 2013
This report summarizes a traffic access and impact evaluation of the intersection of Collier Boulevard
(CR -951) and Forest Glen Boulevard located in Section 2, T50S, R26E, Collier County, Florida as shown in
Figure 1 below. Forest Glen Boulevard provides the primary access into the Forest Glen Golf and
Country Club. A secondary access is provided into Forest Glen Golf and Country Club on the north by
Periwinkle Way via Beck Boulevard.
Figure l
Vicinity Map
Collier Boulevard is six lane divided highway functionally classified as a Major Rural Collector Highway
with an average daily traffic (ADT) of 32,529 vehicles per day during the peak season from December
thru March. It is a major north -south corridor connecting Davis Boulevard (SR -84) / 1 -75 on the north
and East Tamiami Trail (US- 41/SR -90) on the south. A major, 100+ acre retail /professional business
center that includes a Wal -Mart Super store, is located west of Collier Boulevard, approximately 660 feet
Packet Page -578-
6/25/2013 16.A.15.
north of the Collier Boulevard / Forest Glen Boulevard intersection. The center is approximately 50%
built -out and access is provided by the street of Business Circle North and South from Collier Blvd and
Market Street from Davis Boulevard. Beck Boulevard is a two lane roadway functionally classified as a
local street.
Forest Glen Boulevard and Periwinkle Way are two -lane private roadways maintained by the community
of Forest Glen Golf and Country Club. The in- season traffic volume on Forest Glen Boulevard entering
the community via Collier Boulevard was measured to be 768 vehicles per day and the in- season traffic
volume via a southbound U -Turn on Collier Boulevard was measured to be 548 vehicles per day. The
number of vehicles entering Forest Glen via Periwinkle Way was measured to be 429 vehicles per day.
When Collier Boulevard was reconstructed approximately 4 years ago from a four -lane divided highway
to a six -lane divided highway, the intersection of Collier Boulevard and Forest Glen Boulevard was
closed. Access from Collier Boulevard onto Forest Glen Boulevard is currently restricted to northbound
right -in only. Southbound traffic desiring to turn into Forest Glen Boulevard must travel approximately
1,100 feet south of the intersection, make a u -turn, and then proceed north on Collier Boulevard to the
intersection. Approximately 70% of the vehicles turning into Forest Glen Boulevard are southbound
vehicles that make a u -turn. Figure 2 below is a tabulation of vehicular traffic entering into Forest Glen
Golf and Country Club.

A dual northbound left -turn lane into Business Circle is approximately 565 feet long with an 85 foot long
taper. It has been reported that the purpose of the relatively long left -turn lane is to accommodate
future build -out of the retail /business center. Previous studies have found a maximum of 7 northbound .�
vehicles in queue at any one time. Typically the maximum queue is 4 — 6 vehicles due to the protective
2
Packet Page -579-

traffic signal phase at Business Circle. The existing traffic condition does not warrant the dual left -turn
lanes at this time.
Traffic Operations staff recommends allowing a southbound single left -turn lane into Forest Glen
Boulevard until such time as the traffic into retail /business center to the north at Business Circle South
warrants the 565 foot long dual left turn lane. When the County determines that the northbound left
turn volume warrants the need for an expanded northbound left turn lanes, the County should be able
to close the southbound left turn lane into Forest Glen.
To construct a southbound left turn lane into .Forest Glen Boulevard, it will be necessary to modify the
existing dual northbound left turn lanes. In addition, it appears that a public utilities air relief valve
located in the closed median at Collier Blvd / Forest Glen Blvd may have to be modified and /or
relocated.

WHEREAS, the Community seeks to temporarily improve their access into their
development off of Collier Boulevard (CR -951); and
WHEREAS, Forest Glen and the County have reanalyzed the traffic conditions along
CR -951 and have collectively agreed that a modification to the northbound dual left turn lanes on ^

into the main entrance of the Community will temporarily improve access and enhance safety;
and
WHEREAS, Forest Glen and the County anticipate that these improvements should not
exceed $100,000 and have agreed to equally share in the construction cost; and also share in the
design and construction management with Forest Glen taking on the design and the County
taking on the construction management; and
WHEREAS, the County and Forest Glen agree that this modification to the CR -951
access may or may not be permanent but should last a reasonable amount of time to justify the
time and expense; and
WHEREAS, after reasoned consideration by the Board of Commissioners, the Board

welfare of their citizens; and that these temporary improvements provide an overall public
benefit.
WITNESSETH:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties agree as follows:

such excess. Any dispute will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for
adjudication. The decision of the Board shall be final.
4. In the future, should the County believe that the Project is adversely impacting the
functional operation of CR -951 at Business Circle, the County at its sole discretion and cost may
eliminate the southbound turn lane and return the dual northbound left turn lanes to its present
configuration. Prior to doing so, the County will provide Forest Glen with a 180 day notice of
n such intent before commencing construction. Within this 180 day notice period, Forest Glen at
2

noticing the County to commence construction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by
their appropriate representatives, as of the date first above written.
