(670) Item #6 CLERE'S REPORT - NO ACTION TAKEN (493) Item #8A1 ONE TIME TRANSFER OF $2,200,500 FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FUND TO THE COUNTY-WIDE GENERAL FUND TO ABSOLVE THE COLLIER DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING INDUSTRY FROM FUTURE DEBT SERVICE AND RENTAL OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING - APPROVED; STAFF TO EVALUATE A POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN FEE SCHEDULES Stan Litsinger, Growth Management Chief, stated that this budget amendment represents a one time transfer of $2,127,100 from the Community Development Fund to the General Fund to eliminate the deve- lopment communtty's responsibility of future debt service for the construction cost of the Community Development Services Building. He explained that the monies were raised by the downsizing of the Development Services DIvision and related budget savings, and by uti- lizing available reserves. Mr. Litsinger stated that sufficient reserves will remain in the Community Development fund after this Page 5 September 27, 1994 transfer to support revenue flow should there be a slowing of same. Commissioner Matthews questioned if the fees being charged for permits, inspections, etc. generated the reserves and, if so, when will a reduction in fees be effected? Mr. Litsinger indicated that fees charged did generate reserves and discussions have been held with the Manager and Development Services Advisory Committee regarding fee reductions wherein an agreement was reached to take a 12 month period to review revenue flow into the Community Development Services Fund and Reserves. He pointed out that this Enterprise Fund is most susceptible to the business cycle but if within the next budget year the Division continues to cover operating costs plus accumulate reserves, a fee structure review will be initiated. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Litsinger replied that the monies are being transferred to the General Fund Reserves because the debt service payments are made out of that fund by appropriation each year. Commissioner Matthews stated that she has a problem with such a large amount of money being moved into the General Fund where it could get lost somewhere with the other hundred million dollars. She indi- cated that the funds could better serve enhancement of services to the taxpayers and the development community. Mr. Litsinger explained that a decision was made by the Advisory Committee that sufficient funds remained after the transfer to address other needs such as service enhancement. Commissioner Constantine questioned if the ad valorem tax rate would be reduced if an extra $2 million were found in Reserves? County Manager Dotrill answered negatively and indicated that the issue was discussed as part of budget approval. Commissioner Matthews stated that when the downsizing of Development Services occurred, it was estimated that the layoffs would generate savings of approximately $1 million per year yet the budge- tary affect was not felt until March 1994, only one half year, and $2 Page 6 September 27, 1994 million in savings has been realized. Mr. Litsinger explained that part of the savings being identified is $800,000 in carry forward from the appropriated budget due to the restructuring and consolidation of the Division. Mr. Dotrill indicated that the tentative budget has been prepared with the transfer to the General Fund to dissolve that portion of the mortgage contributable to Community Development, i.e. no on-going rent or associated debt. Commissioner Saunders pointed out that within the next 12 months, a decision will be made as to whether fees should be reduced. Mr. Litsinger stated that the Advisory Committee was guaranteed that the fee structure will be scrutinized closely for a possible reduction based on the $200,000 saving from rental payment obligations effected by this action and reduced operating costs. Commissioner Saunders indicated that the 12 month period will be necessary because some operating expenses will probably rise. Commissioner Matthews stated that she is concerned for an equitable fee structure for permits. Commissioner Saunders moved to approve payment to the General Fund of 82,200,500 from the Comity Development Services Fund to absolve the future debt service and rental obligations for 22,000 square feet of the building associated with the construction of the Community Development Services facility and that during the next 12 month period an evaluation for an equitable fee schedule be pursued. Seconded by Commissioner Norris. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Litsinger explained that should the building be sold, 22,000 square feet of the new location will be reserved for Community Development Services; however, Community Development Services will still be obligated to pay their share of utilities and other associated costs of the building Just the rental of the square footage is relieved. Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the amount being paid translates into capitalized rent over a period of years but he is con- Page 7 September 27, 1994 cerned about doing that in a building the County does not own. Mr. Litsinger stated that the issue was discussed with the Advisory Committee as well as the possibility of capital appreciation so the guarantee of office space at another location was seen as an acceptable alternative. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Litsinger informed that the budget refers to debt service but technically it has never been debt service but a transfer to the General Fund equivalent to that was needed to make the debt service as in the case of the other 45 percent which is transferred from the other occupants of the building to the General Fund. Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Litsinger clarified that the correct figure is $2,200,500 and not the $2,127,100 which appeared on the agenda. (1040) Item #8B1 STATUS AND ALTERNATIVES OF WALL INSTALLATION ALONG PINE RIDGE ROAD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THH FOREST LAKES/TURTLE LAKES FRONTAGE - STAFF TO WORK WITH PROPERTY OWNERS ON LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH DONATED MATERIALS AND WITH NAPLESCAPE ON DESIGN; PROVIDE COST ESTIMATE TO PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING WALL Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that this item is a report on the Pine Ridge wall issue proposed between the entrance to Forest Lakes at Forest Lakes Boulevard and Woodshire Lane. He explained that per Board direction, Staff addressed three (3) issues, i.e. background, wall design and wall financing. Mr. Archibald stated that Staff investigated the background rela- tive to whether the Ordinance 91-101 allowing for the development of the adjacent shopping center, the Falls of Naples, required commit- ments beyond buffers within their property and Staff has concluded that off-site improvements were confined to access, utility and traf- fic signal improvements. He pointed out that the Ordinance required only one (1) off-site improvement which was to provide a fair share for a traffic signal to be located south of the Shopping Center. Page 8 September 27, 1994 Mr. Archibald indicated that the second issue, wall design, was addressed relative to design, location and cost. He mentioned that Staff designed the wall to be located on the south side and within the right-of-way of Pine Ridge Road, north of the existing Australian Pines abutting fairways at Forest Lakes. Mr. Archibald explained that the wall is proposed to be eight feet (8') in height with a unit price of $35 per running foot which represents a total cost of approximately $86,000 and will run a distance of 2,450 feet. Mr. Archibald stated that wall financing was analyzed and three (3) methods of funding are proposed: taxing district; assessment district; or contributions made by the owners. He pointed out that Staff does not recommend an assessment district because the cost of establishing same would exceed the cost of improvements; a taxing district is possible but this would require a high millage rate over a number of years to produce the dollars necessary. Mr. Archibald indi- cated that the owners are considering paying monies as part of their Association dues based on benefit derived to finance the wall. Commissioner Volpe questioned if a landscape buffer on the north side of the proposed wall has been addressed? Mr. Archibald answered negative but informed that the wall will be textured and the limited space between the wall and curb line could prohibit placement of landscaping. Commissioner Volpe voiced objection to seeing a concrete wall running along Pine Ridge and questioned whether a landscape buffer could address the question of noise as well as aesthetics? Mr. Archibald indicated that Staff felt the proposed wall is pri- marily an aesthetic improvement and the existing Australian Pines do not function as a buffer from the standpoint of aesthetic, sound and air quality. He pointed out that the residents are in the process of discussing whether they want the wall and are willing to incur the cost. John Brown spoke on this item. Mr. Archibald stated that the Crossings PUD and the Carillon PUD Page 9 September 27, 1994 have a provision for the developer to pay 25 percent each for the cost of slgnalizatton located south of the projects to be utilized by Naples Bath & Tennis Club and was necessitated by the need to Inter- connect a series of signal systems to work effectively. He explained that the County is seeking the remaining 50 percent of the cost for stgnaltzatton from Naples Bath & Tennis Club. Mr. Brown requested an interpretation of the motion relative to this item at the August 2, 1994 meeting; a reassessment of the decreasing in valuation of properties at Buildings 499 and 501; con- sideration be given to installing a landscape buffer for visual blockage of traffic on Pine Ridge Road; and a breakdown of associated County charges per year for the Property Appraiser, Tax Collector Services, Clerk of Courts, etc. to present to the property owners as to the cost associated with construction of the wall. Mr. Archibald indicated that Staff is willing to continue to work with the property owners relative to the landscape buffer to determine what the cost will be, if sufficient land exists to support same and subsidizing the improvements and future maintenance. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Archibald stated that Staff can prepare the information for presentation to the Board in four to six (4-6) weeks. Commissioner Matthews concurred with Commissioner Volpe's concern relative to the placement of a concrete wall along Pine Ridge Road. Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the item has been under discussion for at least four (4) years and the issue appears to be who will absorb the cost for construction of the wall. He explained that nothing was embodied in the motion on August 2, 1994 that required either the owners or the developers of the Crossing or Carillon Shopping Centers to construct the wall. Commissioner Volpe suggested that focus be directed to the landscape buffer and seek donation of m~ertals working with Collier Nap/escape and/or unit owners. Commissioner Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews, that Staff explore · mechanism for the establishment of a landscape buffer Page 10 September 27, 1994 in the County right-of-way through the use of donated materials, workin~ with the property owners as well as Collier Naplescape rela- tive to design. Commissioner Matthews questioned how much opaqueness to the landscape buffer will be required to eliminate noise? Mr. Archibald explained that developers are required to meet a 80 percent requirement for visual landscape buffers which would pro- vide some noise buffering. He pointed out that a golf course exists between the roadway and the impacted units which creates some buf- fering and is why aesthetics is Staff's concern. Commissioner Volpe pointed out that road noise is not the only audio concern due to the industrial park located directly across Pine Ridge Road from Forest Lakes. Commissioner Volpe amended his motion to include direction for Staff to provide Mr. Brown figures relative to the cost of constructing the wall, including financing and associated County costs. Commissioner Matthews amended her second. Mr. Dotrill pointed out that the amount of County right-of-way on the south side of Pine Ridge Road is very limited, probably less than five feet (5'), and already contains street light poles and a utility easement; immediately abutting is the Forest Lakes' chain link fence lined with Australian Pine trees. He indicated that conveyance of additional right-of-way may be required in order to effect a legiti- mate landscape buffer. Commissioner Volpe stated that the property owners should cooperate if additional land is necessary to install the landscape buffer. Mr. Dotrill stated that realistically speaking, a proposal was received three (3) years ago for improving the streets within this community which were never built to County standards or conveyed to the Board of County Commissioners, but consensus within the community to tax themselves through an improvement district to bring the streets, water management and drainage to County standards has never Page 11 September 27, 1994 been forthcoming. He explained that the mechanism is In place for the property owners to complete this project with their own money or through the taxing dtstrlct but they have not been willing to do so. Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. (2110) Item #8B2 ~AL TRAFFIC CONTROL HEASURES FOR REDUCTION OF CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC WITHIN TH~ PI1T~ RIDGE SUBDIVISION - CURB AND ~EDIAN CONSTRUCTION TO BE EXPEDITED AND "NO U-TURN" SIGNS TO BE INSTALLED Transportation Services Admfntstrator Archibald stated that thts Item addresses both internal and external traffic control measures relative to cut-through traffic within the Pine Ridge Subdivision. He explained that at the September 6, 1994 meeting, discussions were held regarding provisions within the Growth Management Plan for intercon- nections between arterial road systems and local road systems. Mr. Archibald indicated that one (1) external control option is a wall within the right-of-way of Goodlette-Frank Road to restrict the intersection at North Carlca Road by establishing right turns in and out only. He explained that Staff recommends external controls to keep traffic out of the residential area. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald informed that the road directly across from North Cartca Road Is a private service entrance for a Florida Power & Light substation and the access point for the storage tank. In response to Commfssioner Matthews, Mr. Archibald explained that a series of different control at different locations in the form of divefrets, blocking of certain movements, and berms but these efforts have not been successful. Commissioner Matthews questions how far north of North Carlca Road will the proposed curb and back-filled median run because according to the drawing included in the Executive Summary, the median appears not to extend far enough north to eliminate motorists from completing u-turns? Mr. Archibald stated that the proposed curb and median has been Page 12 September 27, 1994 designed to consume the turn lane currently in place which will establish some degree of safety between the travel lanes and the buffer wall wherever the island is terminated. He explained that no matter how far north the median extends, motorists will attempt to execute u-turns if desired. Commissioner Matthews stated that the Board may wish to have the curb and median extend far enough north to limit the turning radius to making u-turns difficult or impossible to execute. The following persons spoke on this item: John McGutre Sally Barker Eric Baker Commissioner Matthews questioned what the plans are for Hickory Road once Vanderbtlt Beach Road is extended from U.S. 41 to Airport Road? Mr. Archibald informed that the current plan is to terminate Hickory Road at the intersection with Cassena Road so that no connec- tion will exist to the new Vanderbilt Beach Road to Pine Ridge Road. He explained that Staff felt that the intersection is best suited for a right turn only and not extend Hickory Road west of Caseena Road. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Archibald replied that the only access being considered for Summerplace is the existing alleyway referred to as Pelican Ridge Drive and Pelican Ridge Drive is being considered for either dtrectional control, building of a cul-de- sac or leave as a connection to Vanderbtlt Beach Road near U.S. 41. Commissioner Volpe stated that he thought direction had been given to County engineers to begin design of the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Hickory Road east of U.S. 41. Mr. Archibald stated that the alignment design has been finalized for the intersection of Vanderbi/t Beach Road and Hickory Road but the connections between Summerplace or Hickory Road have not been finalized. Commissioner Volpe indicated that the Hickory Road issue may be addressed within the next year. 22.1 Page 13 September 27, 1994 Mr. Archibald explained that the Hickory Road issue may take longer than a year to address but for safety reasons, Staff does not believe traffic should be controlled on Hickory Road in the vicinity of Cassena Road but rather traffic eliminated; alternatives have been too costly to implement or are unsafe. Commissioner Volpe questioned whether Tupelo Road extends to Trail Boulevard? Mr. Archibald answered negatively. Commissioner Constantine stated that 4,000 to 5,000 cars per day travel Hickory Road and probably the trips per day will be halved by installing the curb and median but once the Vanderbtlt Beach Road extension is completed, in approximately two (2} years, the traffic problem should be alleviated. Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the potential exists for expediting construction of the Vanderbtlt Beach Road extension from U.S. 41 to the Goodlette Road extension? Mr. Archibald explained that the permitting agencies are requiring the County to show what is going to occur to Vanderbilt Beach Road at build-out as well as the affects of Goodlette-Frank Road at build-out which requires numerous environmental studies and has hindered progress on the project. He indicated that plans are to construct the section from U.S. 41 to Goodlette Road first, Just as soon as permits are obtained. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Archibald mentioned that at both the State and Federal levels, the permitting agencies would accept a phasing permit but not a phasing approval; they will allow the County to phase permit mitigation with what is constructed but will not issue a permit for Just one segment. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald stated that whatever is erected must be semi-permanent and in l~eu of concrete walls, Staff is recommending a stand-on curb back-filled with earth and berm to make the median identifiable and to discourage misuse. He acknowledged that whatever efforts have been made in Pine Ridge to Page September 27, 1994 deter traffic has been abused and the same will probably occur to the proposed curb and median. Commissioner Volpe questioned the affect of traffic on Center Street if the proposed traffic control measures are approved? Mr. Archibald explained that a certain degree of cut-through traffic has always existed at between 500 and 1,000 trips a day and those numbers will most likely increase because a number of people will use Center Street to bypass the controls. Tape ,2 Commissioner Norris questioned how long a timeframe can be expected before the curb and median is functional? Mr. Archibald indicated that the curb and median will probably be functional in early 1995 as the paperwork for the financing will take approximately 60 days to complete. Commissioner Norris stated that he was in hope that something could be done before the winter season arrived. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Archibald explained that the process will take that amount of time because a new fiscal year is Just beginning, funds must be identified, project accounts must be established and budget amendments will be necessitated. He indicated that a number of agenda items will be presented to the Board Just on the financing alone. Commissioner Matthews stated that with $6 million in reserves, the $11,000 appears to be available to address the financing issue. Mr. Dotrill stated that the Board can authorize Staff to expedite the project and approach the subcontractor installing the slip form curb on the Airport Road stx-laning project to ascertain If they are available to perform the additional work in conjunction with the Airport Road project which could save the County money and at the same time accelerate the Pine Ridge project. Mr. Dotrill mentioned that residents of the Villages of Monterey will probably protest this action but the project can probably be completed within 60 days as long as there are no other diversions; Page 15 September 27, 1994 however, approval of a budget amendment and a supplemental agreement for the concrete curb work will be necessary. Commissioner Constantine explained that the median can positively impact the neighborhood by bringing down the number of vehicles even though the proposal is not a perfect solution. He requested that Staff place a priority on the project. In response to Mr. Dotrill, Mr. Archibald replied that the amount of curbing to be installed is approximately S00 feet north and 300 feet south of North Carica Road. Commissioner Matthews questioned if the placement of the median is in compliance with the Growth Management Plan and will this action negatively affect the level of service on Good]errs-Frank Road? Commissioner Volpe pointed out that Staff was recently given direction to effect a change in the Growth Management Plan to address this type issue. Mr. Archibald stated that the level of service on Goodlette-Frank Road will not be negatively affected by the placement of the median. Commissioner Saunders questioned what will prohibit motorists from making u-turns in order to utilize North Car/ca Road? He explained that motorists attempting a u-turn can create a traffic blockage on Goodlette-Frank Road. Mr. Archibald stated that the curb and median will force a u-turn further north at a location where a u-turn cannot be executed and still remain on the pavement. He acknowledged that there will be motorists who will attempt a u-turn no matter what. Commissioner Constantine stated that by placing a bump on the curb at the end will make a u-turn more difficult but short of curbing all the way to Immokalee Road, someone is going to attempt a u-turn. Commissioner Matthews reiterated that she is in favor of extending the median further north eo that the turning radius makes it impossible to execute a u-turn and remain on the road. Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and carried &/2 (Commissioner Saunders opposed), that Staff expedite the Pa~e 26 September 27, 1994 curb and back-filled median and no u-turn signs to be posted within the median to notify motorists that they are subject to ticketing and will be violating the law by such a maneuver. ass Recessed: 10:45 A.N. - Reconvened 11:10 A.M. at which time Delft~ Clerk Hoffman replaced Deputy Clerk Fernley me, (328) ltem#GC1 AUTHORIZATION THAT THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT PURSUE A DESIGN COIFIq~CT TO CONSTRUCT ATHLETIC FACILITIES AT CERTAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL SITES IN COLLIER COUNTY - APPROVED Commissioner Constantine stated that he is pleased to see staff working with Collier County schools to take advantage of using their facilities. He questioned whether there is an agreement or an understanding with regard to after school programs which may prohibit the County from utilizing these facilities. Public Services Administrator Olliff advised that there is an agreement which staff is in the process of reviewing for possible amendments as the result of the Big Cypress School issue. He noted that the existing agreement allows the County to use the facilities after hours at no cost and the School Board can use the parks facili- ties at no cost. Mr. Olliff explained that the school has first priority use for after hours. He noted that review of the agreement will ensure that the County is not making an investment for facilities it may be precluded from using sufficiently. Commissioner Constantine moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and carried unanimously, that the Parks and Recreation Department develop a professional services contract for the improvements to the athletic facilities at the middle school sites as listed An the Executive Summary. (395) Item #8D1 STIPULATION FOR SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE WITH COMMONWEALTH REAL ESTATE GROUP RE THE LIFT STATION AT THE BERMUDA GREENS DMVELOFMMNT LOCATED WITHIN THE IMPERIAL GOLF ESTATES PUD - APPROVMD Commissioner Volpe announced that the attorney of record for this item is the law firm he will be Joining after October 1, 1994. He Page 17 September ~7, 1994 noted that he will abstain from voting on this matter. Utilities Wastewater Director Clemons advised that this item is a Stipulation for Settlement and Release with the Commonwealth Real Estate Group. Mr. Clemons stated that in 1990 the developer for Bermuda Greens Development located within the Imperial Golf Estates PUD had an analy- sis done on the existing lift station which revealed that the capacity was not sufficient to continue adding new growth. He reported that as a condition of receiving Certificates of Occupancy, the Commonwealth Group was required to replace that lift station with a larger faci- lity. Mr. Clemons explained that the cost of the new lift station was $47,249. He indicated that in actuality, the Bermuda Greens Development generates approximately 12% of the flow passing through that station. Mr. Clemons cited that the Commonwealth Real Estate Group has filed a complaint in the Circuit Court, seeking reimbursement for 88~ of the cost of the lift station. He noted that it is the opinion of the County Attorney's Office that it would be in the County's best interest to enter into the stipulation and reimburse Commonwealth the sum of $41,579.12. County Manager Dotrill pointed out that the original Imperial Golf Estates Units 1 and 2 were approved prior to the 1970's and there are currently Units 3, 4 and 5 and extends approximately one mile to the east of where the original PUD was contemplated. He noted that the lift stations were based on a density and design of 1978 or 1979. He reported that the final approved size of Imperial is probably twice as large as originally perceived. Commissioner Matthews questioned whether staff can be directed to assess any new developments that may be comin~ on line in this PUD to pay their proportionate percentage as well. County Attorney Cuyler replied that his office is presently reviewing this issue and will advise the Board in this regard in the Page September 27, 1994 very near future. Commissioner Matthews stated that the original lift station was installed for use by "x" number of people and because of the new construction on line there is now the need for an upgrade. Commissioner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Constantine to approve the "Stipulation for Settlement and Release" and authorize the necessary budget amendments. Commissioner Matthews remarked that she does not believe it is fair for the rate payere to absorb the costs of the original 15~ or 17~, and noted that proper planning should have projected growth. Upon call for the question, the motion carried S/1 (Commissioner ~atthew~ opposed and Commissioner Volpe abstained). Pa~e 19 September 2?, 1994 Item ~A CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, AND COLLIER COUNTY, RE CONVEYANCE OF THE MARCO ISLAND AIRPORT TO THE COUNTY IN EXCHANGE FOR CONVEYANCE OF 1,920 ACRES OF L/LND IN THE FAKARATCHEE STRAND STATE PRESERVE - CONCEPT OF AGREEMIKNT APPROVED WITH CHANGES; STAFF TO PREPARE ADVERTISEMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING RE VACATION OF JANES SCENIC DRIVE Assistant County Attorney Weigel advised that staff has been working with the Department of Environmental Protection concerning the negotiation of an agreement to provide for the exchange of real pro- perty owned by the State, the Marco Island Airport, and the conveyance of 1,920 acres of County property to the State. Mr. Weigel called attention to the agreement, as included in the Executive Summary. He indicated that the County owns its right-of-way interests in Janes Scenic Drive, pursuant to a 1960 deed received from the J. C. Turner Company. He noted that a 1961 Special Act addresses the Janes Scenic Drive property as a County park, giving the County full legislative powers to regulate, restrict and police the park. Mr. Weigel pointed out that two County Ordinances specific to Janes Scenic Park Drive prohibit camping in the park and the transpor- tation and possession of guns. He remarked that the size of the park is the same as the deed of right-of-way conveyed to the County, which is 50' on each side of a specific line. Mr. Weigel stated that the agreement is the result of discussions between the County Attorney's staff, the Department of Environmental Protection, Commissioner Constantine and Secretary Wetherell. He indicated that an agreement has been reached between the parties, with the exception of a few issues. He revealed that the conveyance of the County's 1,920 acres and the conveyance to the County of the Marco Island Airport would occur concurrently upon the vacation of the County's interests in the Janes Scenic Drive right-of-way. He noted that upon vacation, the Drive would no longer be a County Road, and noted this would be a park road. He affirmed that there would be a requirement for the County to provide signage posting the road as Page 20 September 27, 1994 closed from dusk to dawn. He remarked that this signage would be for placement on those parts of 3anes Scenic Drive that are not vacated because there is a tall on both sides of the park area that would be vacated that is still a County road. Nr. Wetgel announced that there is a requirement, based on the agreement, for DEP and the County to provide separate criteria con- cerning the permit for motorists that are required to use Janes Scenic Drive during the night. Assistant County Attorney Wetgel advised for a period of 24 months after the vacation, the PEP will provide the County with periodic reports every six months regarding its thoughts, ideas and con- siderations of the County~s obligations of record keeping, parrcling and posting. He revealed after two years of the agreement, the DEP and the County would endeavor to enter into such further long term agreement which would look toward both Interests as determined at that time. He Indicated if there is disagreement between the parties, the Governor and Cabinet would have the ultimate decision making capabi- lity of any future restrictions or changes concerning the utilization of the road that would be vacated within the park property. Mr. Wetgel stated that one outstanding Issue is the indem- nification regarding the Marco AIrport property. He noted that the Countyts draft Includes an indemnification provision for environmental contamination which may or may not exist on the site. He pointed out that this is keyed to the time frame prior to the County ~omtng Into possession and administration of the Marco Island Airport property Itself. He reported that discussions are ongotng in this regard. Assistant County Attorney Wetgel suggested if the Board desires to pursue the agreement that staff be directed to move forward with the advertisement for a vacation hearing on the road right-of-way of 3anes Scenic Drive. He Indicated that the Sheflirts Office may need to be Involved to the extent of record keeping regarding patrol and incident reports on Janes Scenic Drive. Mr. Albert Gregory, representing the Department of Environmental Page 21 September 27, 1994 Protection, (DEP) stated that the proposed agreement is the product of more than two years of hard work and negotiations between the DEP and the County. Mr. Gregory advised that a copy of a letter has been faxed to each Commissioner suggesting modifications to the draft agreement. He explained that he believes the title to the airport should be conveyed at the same time the vacation occurs. He noted that this will avoid placlng unwanted restrictions on the title to the airport. He urged the Board's favorable consideration in this regard. Mr. Gregory stated that he does not disagree with the indem- nification issue. He pointed out that the County and DEP concur that the State should be responsible for its actions at the airport and the County should be responsible for its actions at the airport. Mr. Gregory cited the only difference with the draft is the fact that DEP's attorneys have language they desire to be used, but noted there is no difference of opinion. County Attorney Cuyler announced that the agreement contains a provision requiring a public hearing with regard to the closing of the road. Mr. George Barton, Collier County Aviation Authority Chairman, urged the Commission to vote in favor of the agreement. He explained that grant monies could be lost if the decision is delayed for another week or two. Commissioner Matthews stated that she will not support the vaca- tion of Janes Scenic Drive. She remarked that everything within the agreement is tied to that vacation and not the conveyance of property. She remarked that she believed the purpose was to trade three sections of land with a value of approximately $2.2 million for an airport with a value of approximately 82.5 million. She indicated that the value of the vacation would be approximately 8250,000 - $300,000. Commissioner Matthews noted that 6A of the Agreement addresses the maintenance and repair of Janee Scenic Drive, subject to budgetary appropriations from the Florida Legislature. She explained if for Page 22 September 27, 1994 some reason the DEP falls to Include maintenance and repair of this road in its budget, this work will not be done. Commissioner Matthews called attention to 6B and 7A of the Agreement relating to a permit to use the road from dusk to dawn, and refers to residents who reside "near" Janes Scenic Drive. She questioned whether there is a determination as to what this means. Commissioner Matthews pointed out that the same section of the agreement talks about those who "are required" to travel through the Strand, noting there is nothing in the agreement that dictates the meaning of that term. Commissioner Matthews questioned what authorizes the private land owners, who must use this road to access their own private roads, to obtain a dusk-to-dawn permit which the DEP has the sole authority to revoke. She cited that she sees no protection for the private pro- perty owners. Mr. Gregory acknowledged that the DEP has no right to limit access of the people owning private property within the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve. He concurred that Janes Scenic Drive Is the only legal access and there is a workable arrangement. He noted that there needs to be a differentiation between the people parked on Janee Scenic Drive illegally and people who are parked on Janes Scenic Drive as access into their property. He Indicated that he believes this can be worked out as one of the details of the permit system. In answer to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Gregory explained that the extensions, as referenced in the agreement would be by mutual agreement of the County and the Department. Commissioner Matthews suggested that the following language be added to the agreement: "If such an extension is requested it would not be unreasonably withheld". Mr. Gregory replied that he does not object to adding the language to the agreement. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Assistant County Attorney Weigel advised that "restriction" is a rather indefinite word, and noted "restriction" can be full encompassing Including "closure". Page 23 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Saunders referred to the Agreement, Page 7, noting that it appears there is only one category of Janes Scenic Drive userst who are guaranteed perpetual access and that is the property owners in that area. He remarked that the agreement provides if there are to be further restrictions proposed by DEP, a public hearing needs to be held with regard to the proposed restrictions and if the County Commission and DEP agree with same, they become effective. He cited if the County Commission and DEP do not agree, DEP has the power to take the proposed restrictions to the Governor and Cabinet sitting as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund for action which is final. He noted there can be no assurance from the Board of County Commissioners that that access will be available. Commissioner Saunders stated that the Board needs to understand if action is taken to move forward and make the trade of property, DEP may come back in the future and say they have evidence that there are endangered species that are being impacted by the people driving through the area, and therefore, the road will be closed permanently to everyone except the owners. Commissioner Constantine remarked that action cannot legally be taken on the vacation for several weeks, noting that the grant cycle date will not be met. He remarked that there are other options and if concurrence cannot be reached, other avenues should be pursued. Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the Board could continue to negotiate with DEP to work out a scenario in which a transfer could occur without having to wait for the legislative session, to which Mr. Gregory replied in the affirmative. Commissioner Volpe affirmed that the primary concern is for the residents along Janes Scenic Drive. He reported that some type of direction needs to be given to staff and DEP should be advised as to the desires of the Commission. Commissioner Constantine stated that there is no guarantee that In the future the Governor and Cabinet will not close the road. Mr. Gregory replied that any future decision to further restrict the Page 24 September 27, 1994 public use of Janes Scenic Drive should be a public hearing with full disclosure and full information. He indicated thai he believes the Board of Trustees can be relied upon as a very objective decision maker. Commissioner Volpe questioned whether consideration could be given to the grant of an easement and the County vacating its interest in the road right-of-way and the Department giving the County back a public easement. Mr. Gregory replied if this becomes a condition of the County's willingness to move forward, it could be considered. Commissioner Norris questioned whether the Department would accept cash in lieu of Janes Scenic Drive. Mr. Gregory indicated that he does not believe this has ever been discussed. Mr. Gtl Erlichman spoke with regard to this item. Commissioner Constantine noted that it appears the Board is uncom- fortable with this agreement. He remarked that a determination needs to be made as to a preferred route and some direction should be given. Commissioner Constantine recalled previous discussions relating to the posted road closure at night and indications to increase patrol. Mr. Gregory divulged if nightly patrols are conducted and the per- mitting system is in place, Janes Scenic Drive will be very unattrac- tive to people who are out there to conduct illegal activity. In answer to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Gregory replied that since July l, 1994, the Department's law enforcement staff has state wide police powers. Commissioner Constantine remarked that there could be an intera- gency agreement between the Sheriff's Office and the County for an officer to provide additional patrol in this area. Commissioner Matthews suggested that the ultimate responsibility and record keeping would be at the Department's discretion if the road is not vacated. Tape#3 Commissioner Saunders remarked that the Board could provide the funding for that position with a penalty provision in the agreement Page 25 September 27, 1994 indicating If that funding Is terminated, the road reverts to the State. Commissioner Volpe stated that the County has been operating on the DEP's property without a written agreement for four years in addi- tion to collecting all receipts from the operation of the airport. He recalled that the last lease required the County to pay DEP 10~ of the receipts collected. Commissioner Matthews remarked that there are now more acceptable issues on the table. She pointed out if there Is ever a solution to the Miller Boulevard Extension problem and the Everglades Boulevard access to 1-75, many of the concerns related to Janes Scenic Drive may dtsslpate. Commissioner Constantine cited that he Is not certain he favors funding $40,000 per year to have a person drive back and forth all night on a ten mile stretch of road, and suggested that perhaps there could be a shared cost. Mr. Gregory explained that the Department's law enforcement staff is only authorized to do law enforcement work, noting they are basi- cally police officers. He cited if the County is willing to fund the position, that person would provide an on-site presence on the road- way during the night. Cos~testoner Volpe moved, to approve the concept of the agreement that has been presented and staff directed to address the concerns as identified during the public debate with regard to the final arbiter of the decision as to further restrictions being placed upon Janee Scenic Drive being reserved to the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County or that they have to have concurrence prior to any further restrictions being imposed. Commissioner Volpe called attention to the last paragraph of Page 6 of the new draft agreement Indicating that DEP would forward their recommendation to the Board of Trustee of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund and they would have the ultimate say of what further restrictions would be imposed. He suggested that there be a mechanism Page 26 September 27, 1994 requiring concurrence of the Board of County Commissioners of Collier Co~tnty. Commissioner Saunders suggested that the motion include the following amendments: a proviso stating that it is not the intent of DEP to close Janes Scenic Drive during the day; additional language reflecting the most compelling reasons for going to the Governor and the Cabinet. Colliestoner Volpe amended the motion to include a provision as part of the k'nereas clause as it relates to the intention of the par- ties that this facility will not be closed to public access during daylight hcurs and that the provision of the a~reement that sets forth the circumstances under which the DEP would bring the matter of further restrictions to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Iapx~v, nat Trust Fund would be only in the most compelling of reasons; ?C of the a~reement include a second tiered permit relative to irrevocable access for the property owners~ and staff to bring back the aOTeement in one week. Commissioner Matthews stated that she cannot support the vacation of the road, noting there are other options. Commissioner Saunders seconded the motion which carried 4/1 (Commissioner Matthews opposed). Co.mtssioner Volpe moved, seconded by Cos~aissioner Constantine and carried 4/1 (Commissioner Matthews opposed), that staff be directed to prepare the necessary advertising for the public hearing regarding the vacatAon of Janes Scenic Drive. eee Recessed: l:O0 P.M. - Reconvened: 2:00 P.M. at which time Deputy Clerk Barbiretti replaced Deputy Clerk Hoffman eaa (808) Itam#lOA RESOLIrrXON 94-699 REAPPOINTING JANE POLKOWSKI, APPOINTING RICHARD KLAAS, JOHN J.

NOE AND COLLIER COUNTY TO CONTINUE THE OPERATION OF A MAINTENANCE GARAGE AND FUELING FACILITY UTILIZED BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE OR DIRECT STAFF TO AMEND THE CURRENT LEASE AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE FOR AN OPTION FOR EARLY TERMINATION - STAFF RECOMMENDATION APPROVMD Commissioner Constantine recalled that previous discussion had been held on the lease of the maintenance and fueling facility used by the Sheriff's Office. Crystal Kinzell, Finance Director of the Sheriff's Office, con- fimed that other facilities have been considered. She said that three potential sites had been identified ranging from $400,000.00 to $750,000.00 in purchase price. She said that she believes that a facility will be located but some of the facilities are occupied by current tenants therefore, they are unable to negotiate a move from the current facility in time for the expiration of the current lease. She said that the Sheriff's Office is requesting that the Trustee of the existing property agree to a month to month lease. She reported that if the Trustee does not agree to a month to month lease the Sheriff's Office would be obligated for a year. County Manager Dotrill remarked that he thought that the Sheriff had agreed to explore the possibility of a Joint site that the BCC might develop in the event that the County Barn facility is relocated. Ms. Kinzell confirmed that the Sheriff's Office will work with the Board on any future plans. Commissioner Constantine moved to approve Staff's recommendation of a month-to-month lease. Seconded by Commissioner Matthews. Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. (1081} PUBLIC C~ - PHIL MANHARDT RE SUBDIVISION PLAT - CONCEPT APPROV1D, STAFF DIRECTED TO PREPARE FORMAL AOENDA ITEM Phil Manhardt explained that he is about to begin construction on a single family residence. He requested that the Board allow him to begin construction before a subdivision plat is approved. He said Page 34 September 27, 1994 that the property that was divided belongs to his father and he was unsure of the procedure that should be taken. He said that he had heard that the Board has made exceptions before. He stated that he is willing to agree to a stipulation that a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) will not be issued until the plat is recorded. In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler advised that this item is being heard under Public Comment. Wayne Arnold, Acting Site Plan Review Director, explained that Mr. Manhardt acquired, through his family, a portion of three lots in Golden Gate Estates. He stated that there is a recorded access ease- ment, however at the time of the sale of the property and today it is legally considered a subdivison. He said it is a timing issue for Mr. Manhardt and his family. He stated that Mr. Manhardt has submitted the necessary plat information but it has not been reviewed by Staff. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Arnold replied that he does not foresee any difficulties in plat approval. He remarked that if Staff were to approve construction prior to the plat because ownership is in the family there does not seem to be a problem gaining access to the parcel. He said that should ownership change between this plat approval, the next owner might have a problem with access to the property. Commissioner Saunders stated that in that event a CO would not be issued. Commissioner Saunders stated that in the past the Board has tried to assist citizens if they have specific problems and it appears that approval is a formality. He commented that Mr. Manhardt is willing to bear the risk of not obtaining a CO. Co~aisstoner Saunders moved to direct Staff to Issue the Buildtng Permit with the provision that no Certificate of Occupancy wtll be issued unless the building goes through the formal platting procedure; if for moss reason the plat is not approved a Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued. Seconded by Commissioner Volpe. In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler Page 35 September 27, 1994 stated that he cannot tell the Board that there is a Code provision that provides for the intent of the motion. Commissioner Matthews suggested that this issue be discussed as a formal agenda item. County Manager Dorrill suggested that the issue be added on the Consent Agenda with a Resolution that Mr. Manhardt wishes to proceed. Commissioner maunders stated that he will amend the motion, seconded by Cmissioner Volpe. Commissioner Saunders moved to approve the item in concept for it to be brcn/~ht back before the Board at the meeting of October 4, 1994. Seconded by Ccauaissioner Volpe. Upon call for the question, the motion carried 5/0. (1315) Item #12C1 RESOLUTION 94-705 RE PETITION CCSL-94-13, DOROTHEA P. ZYSKO OF WILSON, MILLER, BARTON AND PEEK, INC. REPRESENTING NB HOTEL LIMITED REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE COASTAL CONSTRUCTION SETBACK LINE (CCSL) TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A SWIMMING POOL, ASSOCIATED TERRACE AND CABANA AND TO ADD PARKING AT THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE AT LA PLAYA BEACH AND RACQUET INN - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Barbara Burgeson, Environmental Specialist II, stated that the petitioner wishes to do some remodeling construction, reconstruction and new construction in order to open a new facility. She said that the petition is in compliance with County codes. She stated that Staff recommends approval with the stipulations stated in the Executive Summary. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner maunders moved, seconded by Commiseloner Matthews and carriedunantsoualy, that Petition CCSL-9&-13 be approved, thereby adopting Resolution 94-705. Page 36 September 27, 1994 Ztne12C2 RESOLUTION 94-706 RE PETITION HD-94-1, LILLIAN R. WOOTEN AND GENE WOOTEN REQUESTING THE BCC TO OFFICIALLY DESIGNATE THE OCHOPEE POST OFFICE AS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT SITE WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF U.S. 41, APPROXINATELY 1,000 FEET EAST OF CALIYIeXLL ROAD - ADOPTED: STAFF DIRECTED TO HELP IN PROCURING FUNDS FOR CERENONIES Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Planner Bellows stated that the objective of this petition is to officially designate the Ochopee Post Office as a locally historic structure by virtue of its' unique size and the important role it played in the establishment of Ochopee. He explained that the struc- ture first served as a storage shed for one of the tomato farming operations. He reported that the shed was pressed into service as a post office in 1953 when fire destroyed the first post office. He said that as a result the shed became the smallest official post office in the United States. He stated that the Historic/Archaeological Preservation Board voted to approve the Ochopee Post Office as a historic structure because it meets the cri- teria listed in Section 2.2.25.5.1 of the Land Development Code for historic sites. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Bellows replied that a positive aspect, if approved, is that it will protect the structure from future development and allow possible Federal grant funds. Commissioner Norris asked if the desi~nation could be removed in the future? Mr. Bellows replied that this is Just a local destination. Arthur Lee, Historic/Archaeological Preservation Board, stated that another positive aspect ]s recognizing the importance of the com- munity. He said that the Historic/Archaeological Preservation Board wishes to have a ceremony celebrating the designation, if approved, and also Rosemary Cemetery. He requested that the Board help in acquiring funding for these events. Page 37 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and carried unanimously, that the Ochopee Post Office be designated as a local historically significant site, thereby adopting Resolution 94-706. Commissioner Matthews moved to direct Staff to see if funds are available for invitations and postage. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Lee replied that the invitations and postage would total approximately $200.00. County Manager Dotrill stated that if necessary a budget resolu- tion could be prepared to comply with the Clerk of Courts arrangement for similar events. Commissioner maunders asked if this is typically done? County Manager Dotrill replied that in ribbon cutting ceremonies the contractor is usually responsible. He suggested the possibility of help from the Friends of the Museum. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dotrill confirmed that the Ochopee Post Office is a privately owned facility. Commissioner Vo]pe remarked that Mr. Wooten may be able to assist in funding the ceremony. Commissioner Norris commented that the point is attempting to use public funds to support a private organization. Commissioner Matthews explained that the intent of the motion is to direct Staff to pursue the procuring of funds. Mr. Lee apologized for the consternation. He offered to pay for the costs. Commissioner Constantine directed Staff to investigate the possibility of procuring private funds. Page 38 September 27, 1995 Item #12C3 RESOLUTION 94-707 RE RATE RESOLUTION TO MODIFY THE RESIDENTIAL SOLID WAST~ SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND COMMERCIAL WASTE COLLECTION FEES - Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. William Lorenz, Environmental Services Administrator, explained that this is the annual solid waste rate resolution which has two changes; residential and commercial rates. He stated that there are three items in the residential rates that are driving the change. He said one is the annual increase for the collection, another is monies that the Property Appraiser has requested in association with costs for preparing assessment role. He said that the third component is that the amount of material that a residential unit is generating has decreased. He reported that when the $25.00 per ton tipping fee is applied it decreases the disposal costs for the residential unit. Mr. Lorenz explained that the Commercial Rate increase is on the Consumer Price Increase (CPI) for the collection side of the rate. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Lorenz replied that if Staff were directed to enter into negotiations with Waste Management, Inc., the tipping fee would decrease. He said that based upon that information Staff feels comfortable that this is a realistic rate. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Saunders moved to approve the rate resolution, seconded by Commissioner Matthews. Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously, thereb.f adopting Resolution 94-707. Page 39 September 27, 1994 (1918) Item #12C& RESOLUTION 94-708 RE PETITION AV-94-017, JOHN GENEVRINO AS AGENT FOR OWNER, U. S. CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT, INC., REQUESTING VACATION OF A PORTION OF A SEVEN AND ORE HALF FOOT DRAINAGE EAS~NT LOCATED ON A PORTION OF LOT 46 - ADOPTED WITH CHANGE Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994 and September 18, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Russ Mullet, Transportation Engineer, stated that this petition is a request for a vacation to allow for the existing building encroaching into the easement. He said that a model home was built prior to the recording of the plat. He stated that the plat dedicated a 7.5 foot drainage easement. He said that ProJect Review Services has looked at the construction plan and is confident that the remaining 6 feet, in addition to the 7.5 feet would be sufficient to maintain it. He stated that he received no letters of objection. He pointed out that the owner listed on the resolution needs to be changed to St. James Homes of Maplewood, Inc. Mr. Mullet stated that Staff recommends approval with the change to the resolution. In response to Commissioner Norris, John Genevrino with Action Surveys, replied that the home was constructed in April, 1994. In answer to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Genevrino confirmed that it was the responsibility of his firm to accurately survey the site. He explained that due to circumstances that prevailed prior to construc- tion based on the boundary description that was provided by his client no mention was made of an easement. He said that the building was placed on the center of the parcel. Commissioner Matthews asked if a ~pot survey was done? Mr. Mullet replied that the house was constructed prior to the plat being recorded. He explained that the home was sold by Means and Bounds rather than a legal description. He said that drainage was dedicated by the plat. Page 40 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Matthews asked what the result would be if the vaca- tion is not granted? Commissioner Volpe replied that if the vacation is not granted the property will not be able to be sold due to the encroachment. Mr. Mullet reported that if the vacation is not granted the peti- tioner would have to remove a foot and a half of the building in order to sell the property. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Cos~sisstoner Volpe moved to approve Petition AV-94-017 with direc- tion to Staff to insure that this situation does not occur in the future. Seconded by Commissioner Norris. Upon call for the question, the motion carried 4/1 (Commissioner ~4atth~ws opposed). Page 41 September 27, 1994 (2236) Ztem #12C5 ORDI1TANCE ESTABLISHING THE COLLIER COUNI"f WATER-SEWER DISTRICT AUTHORITY - NO ACTION Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on August 31, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. County Attorney Cuyler suggested that Item #12C6 can be heard together with this item since they are related. Mr. Cuyler noted that this item has been before the Board for discussion purposes. He confirmed that Staff has worked with the Economic Development Counsel (EDC) to draft a document, included in the Executive Summary, which creates the Collier County Water-Sewer District Authority which is referred to in the Ordinance as "The Authority creates an Executive Director position which reports to the Authority as opposed to the County Administrator". He said that the Board will make the initial appointment of the Executive Director. He stated that thereafter the Executive Director is appointed by the Authority and confirmed, including compensation, by the District Board which is the Board of County Commissioners. He said that this Board retains control of the rate, bonded indebtedness and location of new, major facilities along with expansion to existing facilities. He reported that the remainder of the Board's authority under the Special Act are given to this operational administrative board that is being created by this Ordinance. He noted that the members are appointed by the District Board within 60 days after adoption of the Ordinance. He said that the authority will prepare a budget and present it to the District Board. He said that the District Board has the authority to approve the budget or modify it. He stated that the Executive Director can be terminated with or without cause by a majority vote of the membership of the Authority. He stated that page 9 of the Executive Summary provides the Executive Dlrector's responsibilities. In response to Commissioner Matthews, County Attorney Cuyler Page 42 September 27, 1994 replied that the Board of County Commissioners would sit in two separate capacities for two separate legal entities; Collie~ County general government and the Collier County Water-Sewer District. County Manager Dotrill said that no one denies the current operating effectiveness of the Utilities Division. He stressed that this is an important decision. He said that he will establish what the Utility Division is and where they stand at the close of 1994. He stated that he hoped to clarify who will protect the public's interest and where accountability will be. He said that he will try to establish if the County is operating in the context of current State Statutes. Mr. Dotrill reported that the Utility Division has become the most powerful unit of County government under the Board of County Commissioners. He said over the last five years the Utility Division is showing net profit of almost $5.5 million each year. He said that profit is currently being returned to a variety of reserves to pri- marily fund capital improvements and to use cash from available pro- fits as opposed to increasing the County's bonded indebtedness. He stated that in order to protect the public's interest the Board of County Commissioners and its' administration need to continue to be directly involved in this system. He said that Water Management DIstricts have become very controversial because of the lack of direct accountability. He said that the current legal opinion does not seem to resolve the concerns that he has. He said that Chapter 125 in its purpose says "that it is the legislative intent of this Chapter that it is necessary to authorize a form of County administration that best assures an adequate and efficient provision of services to the citi- zens in this State and that provides for coordinated administration of all County Departments." He said that it also provides "each County to which this part applies shall appoint a County administrator who shall be the administrative head of County and shall be respon- sible for the administration of all departments of County government, whether those departments of County government under the Board of Page 43 September 27, 1994 George Keller Harold Hall Dorothy Fitch Bob Sommer Keyin Coleman County Commissioners has the authority to control pursuant to the general laws pursuant to this act or other applicable legislation". He said that in this case it would be the latter of those three "other applicable legislations" He indicated that though we have a Special Act which created the Water Sewer District it is ultimately the Board of County Commissioners who control the Special Act, this particular Act or other general laws of Florida. He reported that Columbia County has neither a County Manager nor County Administrator. He said they have not adopted a local Ordinance or complied with State Statute. He said that they have a County Coordinator which still allows the Board members to contact heads for the purpose of giving direction. He stated that this poses a great deal of problems. The following people spoke on the subject: Dr. Fay Btles Bill Barton Gilbert Erlichman Brad Estes Commissioner Matthews referred to the amended copy of the Ordinance that was presented by Mr. Barton of the EDC. (Copy not pro- vided to Clerk). She commented that the last sentence of page 5 does not provide what to do in the first year regarding the five year Master Plan and update. County Attorney Cuyler stated that he anticipates it to work is the County has a Utility Master Plan which within one year of the effective date of the Ordinance, the Authority shall prepare for con- sideration and approval by the District Board a five-year master plan. Mr. Barton explained that if this Authority is created within one year the existing five year Master Plan will be updated and presented to the Board. He said that whether or not there was a full or partial year, the second Plan the Board would receive would be in April of 1996. Commissioner Saunders remarked, in reference to comments made by Mr. Estes, that the Board has received past criticism for having too many advisory boards. He explained that the Board of County Page 44 September 27, 1994 Commissioners does not have the time to investigate each issue that it must address. He said it is better to have the input from a group of citizens. He said that he suggested this advisory board but did not intend to create an Executive Director and a new layer of government. He explained that his intent was to create a board of experts that could focus on Utility issues which would give the Board of County Commissioners more time to focus on long range planning and other major issues. He said that there was no intention of eliminating the County Manager or Division Administrator. He said his intention was to create a mechanism to focus on the day to day operational aspects of Utilities in a more efficient manner, free up the Board of County Commissioners for long range planning and possibly save the County from some of the operational problems. He said he wanted the Board of County Commissioners to retain all Jurisdiction over rates, plant siting and things of that nature. He said that this Ordinance has gotten completely out of proportion to what was originally proposed. He said that he is opposed to the creation of an Executive Director. Commissioner Volpe shared Commissioner Saunders' concerns. Commissioner Norris stated that on one hand it appears that the Utility Division is financially operating well, on the other hand it is hard to dispute that there are problems involved in that aspect. He said that there have been larger problems in the past such as the North Naples Water Plant contract dispute, the information system problems, the Glades lease which went unnoticed and unrenewed and siting of the Lely Sewer Plant. He said that the problems need to be identified so that appropriate solutions may be proposed. He said that he believes that the County Manager could begin a nationwide search, if necessary, for an experienced Director for the Utilities Division and direct that person to see that the Utilities Division operates the way the Board of County Commissioners wants it to. He said that he shares the concern regarding the isolation between the citizens and the Board of County Commissioners through the Utility Authority as proposed. He said that he cannot support this Ordinance. Page 45 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Constantine stated that the Board has encountered many problems with the Utilities Division. He said that he does not want to see any additional layers of government. He stated that the proposed Ordinance is unacceptable. He indicated that the County Manager should be given the opportunity to correct the present problems. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Saunders stated that because there is no support for the Ordinance there is no point in taking a vote on this item or Item #12C6. Item #12C6 ORDINANCE AMENDING COLLIER COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 93-72, THE COLLIER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR ORDINANCE - NO ACTION Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on August 31, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. This item was heard in conjunction with Item #12C5. see Recess: 3:55 PM - Reconvened: 4:05 PM At this time, DepUty Clerk Fernle~ replaced ~l:ruty Clerk Barbtrettt ~ee (1443) Item #13A1 CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION 94-533 RE PETITION CU-94-1 FOR A SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT CONDITIONAL USE IN THE RSF-3 ZONING DISTRICT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN GOLDEN GATE, TO CORRECT A SCRIVENER'S ERROR IN STIPULATION NUMBER 5 REGARDING THE UTILIZATION OF SCRUBBERS FOR ODOR CONTROL - TABLED TO MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1994 Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Commissioner Constantine stated that the proposed resolution substantially changes the original resolution because the deleted por- tion of Stipulation Number 5 reads "...or other odor control mechanism which functions as well as or better than a scrubber..." which was an attempt to assure that the odor problem is corrected, i.e. if the scrubber did not eliminate the odor, then another mechanism would be Page 46 September 27, 1994 required. He explained that by changing that phrase, the scrubber becomes the only mechanism to correct the problem and if the odors are not eliminated, there is no recourse. Commissioner Constantine pointed out that the added last sentence reads "For purposes of this paragraph, best available technology is defined as the utilization of a scrubber..." which may not be true in a few years. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Commissioner Constantine replied that he feels the proposed change to the original resolution Is not a scrtvener's error. Ron Ntno, Planner, stated that Stipulation Number 5, as worded, does not represent what the minutes reflect which precipitated the County Attorney's Office review of the original resolution and the conclusion that a scrtvener's error occurred and needs correcting. County Attorney Cuyler explained that a scrtvener's error is not intended to change text but to change the intent and the Board of County Commissioners needs to determine what was intended and what was said. He indicated that the minutes can be provided for Board review should they be required to make a determination. Mr. Cuyler Indicated that Assistant County Attorney Student reviewed and made a deter- mination in this matter because an objection was raised by the peti- tioner. Commissioner Norris stated that the original resolution correctly indicates the intent of the Board. Mr. Cuyler explained that the options before the Board are: 1) do nothing and Resolution 94-533 will remain in place; 2) adopt the pro- posed resolution; or 3) continue the item for further research. Cheryl Lister, Florida Cities Water Company, distributed excerpts from the transcript taking during the public hearing. She pointed out that the amendment to the resolution does accurately reflect the ruling made by the Board on July 26, 1994. Commissioner Constantine explained that he is uncomfortable accepting Just an excerpt from the minutes and prefers seeing the Page September 27, 1994 entire transcript. Ms. Lister indicated that the entire transcript Is available but she did not bring copies. Commissioner Constantine questioned the reasons why Florida Cities Water Company would want to restrict the method of odor control to Just scrubbers? Ms. Llster replied that the scrubber is the best available tech- nology presently but expensive so Florida Cities Water Company does not want to install scrubbers now and then have to constantly make changes to keep up with latest technology. Commissioner Norris stated that the original resolution does not require Florida Cities Water Company to effect changes each time a more efficient technology is available if that Is their concern. Mr. Cuyler explained that Resolution 94-533 addresses Installa- tion but is not as restrictive as Ms. Ltster Implied. Commissioner Constantine indicated that when he voted in favor of Resolution 94-533 the understanding was to hold the private utility to the same rules for odor control under which the County utilities operate, i.e. correct the odor problems affecting the neighborhood. Ms. Ltster stated she certainly did not mean to imply that Florida Cities Water Company would only attempt to control the odor by Installing the scrubbers and then do nothing thereafter if the problem is not solved. She explained that an odor problem is not anticipated after installing the scrubbers but the Board will be back tracking if the change is not effected in the resolution because it does not accurately reflect the ruling and an appeal may be pursued if the scrtvener's error is not corrected. Commissioner Constantine stated that to pursue an appeal is cer'- tatnly Florida Cities Water Company's prerogative. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Cos~isstoner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, that the wording of Resolution 94-533 accurately addresses the intent of the Board at the public hearing and that the scrtvener's error Pmg~, 48 September 27, 1994 resolution not be adopted. Commissioner Saunders indicated that he cannot support the motion due to the excerpt from the transcript on Page 65 which quotes me as saying "I think the language that the attorney for the petitioner had suggested is probably more appropriate. Best available technology could mean almost anything. I think he's indicated that we use the scrubber technology and install it pursuant to the manufacturer's requirements." Commissioner Constantine stated he cannot determine anything today with only ten percent (10%) of the transcript available. Commissioner Volpe explained that Page 70 of the transcript quotes Mr. Nino as saying "One last issue if I may, Mr. Chairman. The best available technology will be worked into condition number 5, and the wording will be left to Florida Power and -- "with Mr. Buhr correcting Mr. Nino by stating "Cities" and Mr. Cuyler responded He's already defined on the record, and I believe the board acknowledged that the --." He indicated that he has difficulty voting on the motion without seeing the entire transcript first. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Ms. Student explained that the finding that a scrivener's error existed by the County Attorney's Office is based on her listening to the audio tape. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Student informed that the original resolution was prepared by Mr. Nino and she prepared the pro- posed scrivener's error resolution. Commiselomer Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and carried unanimausly, that this item be tabled for one week. Commissioner Volpe requested that the original Stipulation Number 5 be included in the agenda package next week. (2028) Item #leA2 RESOLUTION 94-709 RE PETITION V-94-13, RICHARD P. HENDERLONG, REFRJSEMTING REINHOLD AND ERIKA SCHMIEDING REQUESTING A TWENTY FOOT (20') VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED SIDE YARD SETBACK OF THIRTY FEET (30') AND MNTY FOOT (20') VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK OF FIFTY MET (50'} FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 183 EUGENA DRIVE, FURTHER DESCRIBED AS LOT 4, BLOCK L, PINE RIDGE EXTENSION - ADOPTED WITH ELIMINATION OF LIGHT STIPULATION Page 49 September 27, 1994 Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Ron Nino, Planner, stated that this variance is being requested to facilitate the placement of a tennis court. He indicated that two (2) letters of objection were received but one has been withdrawn which leave only one objector whose property is not contiguous to the subject property. Mr. Nlno explained that the Planning Commission recommends appro- val of the variance by a 5/3 vote with the conditions that the landscape plan delineating a buffer around the tennis court be imple- mented, a six foot (6') wooden fence be constructed along the east property line, and no artificial lighting be allowed. Commissioner Saunders pointed out that two (2) letters of objec- tion exist from Mr. Miner and Mr. and Mrs. Larson. Mr. Ntno indicated that neither of the two (2) letters of objec- tions are from contiguous property owners. Richard Henderlong, representing Reinhold and Ertka Schmieding, stated that this request for a variance will provide safe passage between the principal residence which is under construction and the tennis court and to preserve two (2) mature pine trees. He pointed out that this variance is similar to tennis courts in the subdivision and is compatible with the neighborhood. Mr. Henderlong mentioned that 16 tennis courts exist in the neighborhood of which 14 courts do not conform to the setback require- ments and ll have minimum setbacks of ten feet (lO') or less. Mr. Henderlong distributed information confirming his fi~tres. Mr. Henderlong explained that the County does not issue tennis court permits but regulate them in terms of setbacks and some tennis courts are not included in the house plans when submitted for permits. He indicated that tennis courts are discovered sometimes upon inspec- tion by the Property Appraiser and then they are included in the records. Mr. Henderlong stated that Mr. and Mrs. Schmieding are Page 50 September 27, 1994 attempting to be straight forward and complete the process properly. Mr. Henderlong mentioned that the tennis court at 63 Eugena Drive is lighted and requested that the Board allow his clients to Install lighting for their tennis court. He distributed Information on the lighting proposed to be installed which demonstrates that no light spillage will occur on the adjacent property. Mr. Henderlong pointed out that the same proposed lighting is installed at Quail West, Kensington and Pelican Landing and due to the unique optical design, glare and side lights have been eliminated as well as annoying spill light which can be objectionable to nearby residents. He explained that the design has passed city ordinances with respect to light pollution as light spt/lage is eliminated. Mr. Henderlong indicated that meetings were held with the adJa- cent property owners and no objections were received to the proposed tennis court. He explained that the Larson property is not adjacent and Mr. Miner does not appear on the list of property owners within the 300 foot radius requiring notification of this request; he was not aware that Mr. Miner had voiced an objection until now. Mr. Henderlong pointed out that a property owner can mount a flood lamp on the back of their residence which will spill over onto adjacent property more than the proposed lighting for the tennis court. Mr. Henderlong explained that Mr. and Mrs. Schmiedtng will comply with the landscape and fence stipulations to this variance but request that they be allowed to light the tennis court. Commissioner Matthews closed the public hearing. Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and carried 4/1 (CommissIoner Norris opposed), that Petition V-94-1S be approved with the elimination of the light stllmlatton, thereby adopting Resolution 94-709. Page September 27, 1994 (2740) Item#lSa3 RESOLUTION 94-710 RE PETITION CU-94-7, DAVID S. WILEISON, REPRESENTING JAMES P. LENNAITE, REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE 5 OF THE RSF-5 ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR CjustER HOUSING FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THOMASSON DRIVE AND BAYSHORE DRIVE - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Ray Bellows, Planner, stated that Petition CU-94-7 is a request to allow 101 single family cjustered dwelling units. He explained that in 1992, the Planning Commission approved a preliminary sub- division plat (PSP-91-18) to develop the property into 79 single family lots conforming with the RSF-5 development standards; however, due to changing market conditions, the cjuster housing is more appropriate for this area. Mr. Bellows Indicated that the subject property is located within the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict which has a cap of three (3) units per acre. He mentioned that this requested is at a density of 2.9 units per acres which is compatible with the Growth Management Plan. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Commissioner Volpe replied that the conditional use is where the homes appear on the lot and no fezone was involved. Mr. Bellows explained that the lot sizes are being reduced which is why the conditional use is being requested. Dave Wilklson, representing James P. Lennane, stated that the Land Development Code allows for shrinking lots sizes and cjustering of units but the conditional use process must be utilized. In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Wtlktson explained that the Justification for the requested increase in units is to make the project economically feasible. He indicated that the same amount of preserve area has been maintained and have not altered the site plan that was approved with the 79 lots. 8C0, -,- 89 Page 52 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Constantine stated that the increase in the number of units is small and still below the three (S) units per acre allowed. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and carried unanimously, that Petition CU-94-7 be approved, thereby adopting Resolution 94-710.

MONICA'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE "1" OF THE ESTATES (E) ZONING DISTRICT FOR CHURCHES AND OTHER PLACES OF WORSHIP, FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF IMMOKALEE ROAD, APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF MILE EAST OF OAKS BOULEVARD, CONSISTING OF FIVE (5) ACRES - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Sam Saadeh, Planner, stated that the proposed conditional use is to allow for an expansion of 200 seats to the already approved 300 seat church with the first phase almost completely built out. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Volpe questioned whether sufficient parking is available to accommodate the additional 200 seats? Mr. Saadeh informed the Board that part of the expansion is to add additional parking to accommodate 500 parishioners. He explained that this conditional use is adding the 200 seats to the existing con- ditional use, a maintenance building, cookout facility and caretakers residence. He indicated that accessory facilities were allowed in the first conditional use granted in 1991. Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and carried unanimously, that Petition CU-9&-12 be approved, thereby adopting Resolution 94-711. Page 54 September 27, 1994 (3~94) Item#13A5 RESOLUTION 94-712 RE PETITION V-94-12, TIMOTHY L. CLEMONS OF THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER-SEWER DISTRICT, REQUESTING A 5.4 FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED 30 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK TO 24.6 FEET AND A 12.1 FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED 50 FOOT REAR SETBACK TO 37.9 FEET FOR PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF ST. ANDREWS BOULEVARD ON WARREN STREET, FUROR DESCRIBED AS LOT 25 - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Ray Bellows, Planner, stated that the petitioner is requesting the side and rear yard variances for an existing effluent irrigation tank. Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Commissioner Norris stated that concern has been voiced by the neighbors by the Lely plant that this piece of property will allow expansion of the site and any motion should include a prohibition of expansion of this sewer plant into the area. Tim Clemons, Wastewater Director, stated that there is no room on the subject site for expansion and any proposed work at the site will require approval by the Board prior to commencement. County Attorney Cuyler informed that this variance request is due to a storage tank encroachment. County Manager Dotrill explained that that storage tank was moved at the request of the Board in order to effectuate a larger landscape berm between the plant and the residences. Mr. Clemons indicated that the County moved the tank as far away from the homes as possible but got five feet (5') too close to the golf course maintenance shed which now needs correcting. Commissioner Constantine explained that this action makes place- ment of the storage tank legal and In no way acquires more land or has anything to do with expansion of the plant. Cosmissioner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews and carrie~ ~raa~l~l~,, tO accept Staff's findings as outlined in the Page 55 September 27, 1994 ~xecuttve S~aaary, prohibit use of the land for future expansion and that Petition V-94-12 be approved, thereby adopting Resolution 94-712.

QUINNELLo REPRESKNTING PETE ANDERSON, REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE "4m OF THE "C-4" ZONING DISTRICT FOR BOAT DEALERS (NEW AND USED) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TAHIANI TRAIL (U.S. 41) CONSISTING OF 1.04+ ACRES - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on September 11, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened. Sam Saadeh, Planner, stated this conditional use will allow the petitioner to operate a boat sales yard for new and used boats. He informed that the subject property is currently vacant and is the former Bob Taylor's used car lot site. Mr. Saadeh indicated that the existing 28'x40' structure will be renovated and a parking lot will be restrtped; no additional structures will be built. Mr. Saadeh informed the Board that the Collier County Planning Commission reviewed and approved this petition subject to the stipula- tions incorporated into the resolution of adoption. Commissioner Volpe questioned if there is a limit on the number of used and new boats that can be displayed in the parking area? Mr. Saadeh indicated that a limitation has not been placed on the number of boats displayed. County Manager Dotrill stated that the number of parking spaces required relative to the square footage of the building will limit the number of boats displayed. Mr. Saadeh explained that the petitioner will have to comply with the parking ratio of the Land Development Code. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Saadeh informed that whether there will be repair activities on-site is not part of the petit/on but traditionally some repairs are performed on-site. He indicated that the resolution contains a stipulation restricting any repair work performed at the location to the back of the lot. Commissioner Volpe questioned what this type activity may have on ingress and egress to that corridor of U.S. 417 Page 57 September 27, 1994 Mr. Saadeh indicated that the petitioner must obtain approval for access from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) which is included as a stipulation in the resolution and must donate right- of-way. He stated that Staff was concerned with this access issue because presently there are three (3) access points. Art Quinnell, representing Peter Anderson, stated that he met with FDOT on September 26, 1994 and only two (2) approaches will be allowed, one way in and one way out, thereby eliminating left turns by east bound traffic on U.S. 41. Mr. Quinnell explained that there will not be many boats on display and repairs are only performed on boats incidental to sales. Commissioner Norris stated that a noise problem is usually asso- ciated with running of motors. Mr. Quinnell explained that there is running of motors but is minor because they must be run with fresh water in that area which limits the length of time the motors can run. In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Saadeh replied that this request is similar to the operation of boat sales facility near Enterprise Avenue and Airport Road. Mr. Quinnell informed that Suncoast Marine, who is the owner of this tract, exists on Enterprise Avenue approximately 200 to 300 feet off Airport Road. Commissioner Volpe voiced concern with aesthetics in that area. Mr. Saadeh stated that aesthetics is addressed in that the existing building is an eyesore which will be eliminated and landscaping is being added per Code. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Quinnell replied that a chain link fence will be installed but back from the road approxima- tely in line with the face of the building. He indicated that with the in and out approach system which was designed per FDOT standards, an island of trees and shrubbery can be placed between the building Page 58 September 27, 1994 Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing. Comstsstcmer Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and carried unanimously, that Petition CU-94-8 be approved, thereby adopttn~ Resolution 94-713. Page 59 September 27, 1994 Item #14A FISHERNEN'S ASSOCIATION REGARDING A RESOLUTION PASSED BY PASCO COUNTY - RESOLUTION TO BE CONSIDERED AT OCTOBER 25, X99& MEETING Commissioner Constantine informed the Board that he has scheduled a resolution for consideration by the Board for the October 25, 1994 meeting regarding commercial fishing in Collier County. Commissioner Norris stated that the Board should not get involved in the commercial fishing issue. Commissioner Constantine stated that some action for or against should be taken. Commissioner Volpe indicated that he is not opposed to discussing a resolution on commercial fishing but the issues of casino gambling, tax cap amendment and other constitutional amendments to appear on the ballot in November should also be addressed if the intent is to express the will of the Board and give citizens direction. He questioned why net fishing should take priority over other crucial legislation? Commissioner Constantine explained that this constitutional amendment impacts 13 counties, including Collier County, which repre- sents a significant economic impact to the community. Commissioner Matthews pointed out that this legislation will affect the significant fishing industry of East Nap]es, Goodland, and Everglades City. (286) Item #14B UPDATE ON THE GLADES UTILITIES ISSUE - COUNTY TO FILE APPEAL AFTER ORDER IS SIGNED BY COURT; STAFF PURSUING ALTERNATE SITES Commissioner Matthews requested an update on the Glades utilities issue. County Attorney Cuyler stated that the complaint includes a Count For InJectment and Inverse Condemnation. He indicated that the County requested a jury trial who found in favor of Mr. Hubschman but the Court has not issued an Order and the County is prepared to file a Page 60 September 27, 1994 Notice of Appeal upon signing of same. Mr. Cuyler explained that if the County is not successful upon Appeal then the Inverse Condemnation claim dates back to last summer when the property owners first requested that the County vacate the property due to failure to appropriately renew the agreement. Commissioner Constantine Indicated that Mr. Hubschman and he have discussed a number of different options such as the County purchasing land at Santa Barbara Boulevard but some initial cost up front is involved and would not be a permanent home because the property is an activity center. He stated that talks are continuing. Tim Clemons, Wastewater Director, stated that Staff contacted the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding the County vacating the Glades site, what the requirements would be and if the ponds at the sewer plant itself could be utilized in lieu of the Glades site. He informed that the ponds at the plant are permitted as reject storage and that the Davis Boulevard ponds could be utilized but like size ponds will be required as replacement somewhere without infringing on the reject storage at the plant. Mr. Cuyler stated that an Appeal could take six (6) months so the County has at least that long to look for alternate sites should the Appeal not be in the County's favor. Commissioner Volpe stated that Staff needs to effect a plan of act/on for alternatives in case the County should lose the Appeal. see Commissioner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and carried unanimously that the followtn~ Items under the consent agenda be a~Fxov~d and/or adopted.
