Agenda 09/22/2020 Item #16A13 (CAO to Advertise Ordinance)09/22/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to direct the County Attorney to advertise, and bring back for a public hearing, an ordinance amending Ordinance 2006-57 expanding the use of golf carts to all County roads and streets throughout Goodland, Florida. OBJECTIVE: To amend Ordinance 2006-57, allowing for the use of golf carts on all public roads in Goodland. CONSIDERATIONS: Florida Statute §316.212 prohibits the operation of golf carts on county roads or streets unless the county has designated the street for use by golf carts. On November 28, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Ordinance 2006-57, allowing for the use of golf carts upon designated public roads and streets, including those county roads and streets in Goodland "located at least 125 feet west of Sunset Drive". Since that time, development has increased along Angler Drive in Goodland, and residents along that street have requested to be allowed to use golf carts to drive into Goodland. Based on this study, it is staff's recommendation to allow the use of golf carts on all public roads in Goodland. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action will result in no growth management impact. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. This matter is governed by Florida Statute Sec. 316.212, which provides in part as follows: 316.212 Operation of golf carts on certain roadways. -The operation of a golf cart upon the public roads or streets of this state is prohibited except as provided herein: (1) A golf cart may be operated only upon a county road that has been designated by a county ... for use by golf carts. Prior to making such a designation, the responsible local governmental entity must first determine that golf carts may safely travel on or cross the public road or street, considering factors including the speed, volume, and character of motor vehicle traffic using the road or street. Upon a determination that golf carts may be safely operated on a designated road or street, the responsible governmental entity shall post appropriate signs to indicate that such operation is allowed. This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority voted for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: To direct the County Attorney to advertise, and bring back for a public hearing, an ordinance amending Ordinance 2006-57 to allow the use of golf carts on all public roads in Goodland.

Based on a recent community request, the Traffic Operations Section of the Collier County Growth Management Department reviewed the addition of Angler Drive to become a portion of the area allowing golf carts on the island of Goodland. This evaluation performed a review of Ordinance No. 2006-57 which determined that golf carts may be operated on all county roads and streets in Goodland that are located to the east of Sunset Drive. Goodland is a community located east of Marco Island in unincorporated Collier County, Florida. The general study area is illustrated in Fig.1.

It is located off of CR 92 (San Marco Rd). Goodland Cn Drive has 11-foot lanes and a posted speed limit of 30 mph from San Marco Road to just east of Angler Drive rn where the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph. The speed limit on the rest of the island is 25 mph. Goodland Drive E is appropriately marked for "NO PASSING" by a double yellow centerline. A pathway adequate for bicyclists and pedestrians runs parellel with but unattached to,Goodland Drive for most a of its length, providing an area out of the roadway for the bike/pedestrian traffic. Packet Pg. 1036 16.A.13. b Recommendations and Conclusions A review of the existing ordinance and the field characteristics of Goodland Dr W near the intersections of Angler Dr and Sunset Dr suggests that the original intent of the golf cart ordinance was to include Angler Dr as part of the limits allowing golf cart use. It is believed that Angler Dr had only the commercial marina business and not the numerous adjacent condo's when the original golf cart study was performed. The extents of the existing golf cart ordinance includes a driveway that may connect to the condos at some point in the future. Currently Angler Dr. is the only paved accessway to Goodland for golf cart owners that live in the condos. It is therefore recommended to extend the golf cart use on Goodland to include Angler Drive. This can be easily accomplished by reloating and changing a few signs.
