Item 6 (b) Chamber of Commerce. Motion was made
Item 6 (c) Traffic Safety and Parking Committee. City
Manager V. P. Wood, Jr., read report, copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part of the minutes. Mayor Turner
stated that he was of the opinion item 1. is a Police and
Traffic problem. Police Chief Bass observed that in anticipation of the installation of traffic signal at 3rd Avenue
South and the trail, in order to decrease congestion by
eliminating traffic on 3rd Avenue South, it was his opinion
that both of the north-south alleys adjacent to the Post
Office be made one way south with egress into Fourth Avenue
South. He stated that the Post Office has no objection to
this change. Councilman Kuperberg pointed out that in his
opinion, neither the Council nor the Traffic Safety and Parking
Committee are qualified to make traffic decisions. He further
stated that a Traffic Planner, such as Mr. Woody Hiller,
is available to the City on an hourly basis, and he was again
recommending that any and all recommendations be reviewed by
an expert before coming before the Council; Mr. Goodloe
McDowell, Chr. of the Traffic Safety Committee, observed that
he hopes Mr. Kuperberg feels this way about the E. A. Barton
and Associates survey. Second item, Mr. Wood noted that this
item has been completed. Third itemCity Manager Rood pointed
out that in order to meet obligations imposed by parking meters,
revenue has to be derived either from $10,000 held in reserve,
submitted as a budget item in 1967-63 budget or, from the
parking meters themselves, and a recent survey has shown
that after 6:00 P.M. the area is widely used. Mr. Kuperberg
took exception to this recommendation stating that in his
t9inion it is discriminatory....if you do it in one area you
do it in all areas. Motion was made by Mr. Downing, seconded
by Mr. Easterling, that ordinance be drafted to lengthen
parking hours at Pier area from 9;00 a.m. to 900 p.m.;
motion carried with two negative votes, those of Mrs. Miller
and Mr. Kupeberg. City Attorney Trettis was instructed to
draft ordinance for
next regular
Council meeting. Item Four,
S
C4
c-T-4
Mr. Strong stated that he was not in favor of having these
surveys made unless the Council is either prepared to appoint
a parking authority or the Council is prepared to sit as a
parking authority and go ahead and do something. Mr.
Kuperborg agaiti urged that Council use the services al
Mr. Hiller or Mr. Barton especially if they are contemplating
getting into the parking business on a self-supporting basis.
The City Manager was instructed to get somebne to mdet with
the Council for the purpose of being 'educated on the
subject of parkinj authority. Item Five, Mr. olood was
instructed to write letters to all property owners on
both sides of affected potential alley (from Park Street
to Third Street South) requesting that they dedicate
property to the City.
Item 6 (d) Recreation Department. Motion was made by Mr.
Strong, seconded by Mr. Morse, that Recreation Department
report for month of May, 1967, be acknowledged. Motion so
carried. Mayor Turner declared a four minute recess.
Agenda Item 4. BID OPENING: 1000 A.M. All bids called
for, Mayor Turner announced the bidding closed. Ahile bids
were being opened by Mr. Savidge and Mr. Parke, motion was
made by Mr. Downing, seconded by Mr. Strong, that because of
the number of interested people present, the agenda be
interrupted to take up item 8 New Business (f) Review of
Airport regulations regarding use of gliders. Motion so
carried. Mr. Wood noted receipt of letters from Naples
Airlines and people interested in glider operations, copies
of which, he •noted, were mailed to members of Council. Mr.
John E. Zate, Manager, Naples Airlines, stated that he was
present objecting only to the safety aspect because of the
increasing traffic on a daily basis, that there is nothing
personal involved. He pointed out that Page Field in Fort
Myers had discontinued the operation and from his own
investigations, it seems to be the general consensus of all
operators. As attorney representing a group of people interested in gliders, as well as pilots, Mr. David C. Spingler
presented to Council three petitions signed by 35 persons
who are certified and licensed pilots and who are familiar
with the City's airport and use its facilities. Mr. Spingler
also had in his possession, which he turned over to the
secretary, letters from people who know a great deal about
the subject matter at hand and who pointed out that glider
operations help increase knowledge of piloting planes; he
also pointed out that the National Geographic Magazine
6
recently devoted 3 40 page spread to glider operations. Mr.
Strong stressed that he was not in favor or going ahead until
three things are accomplished; 1) Agreements must be prepared holding the City harmless so that the City is protected;
2) City must be furnished with proper insurance to the
satisfaction of the City, and 3) Understanding that Commercial
planes have the right-of-way. He concluded by stating that
in talking with many places, especially the FAA. FAA stated
they would be most happy to work with the City in setting up
procedures for this operation, therefore, stated Mr. Strong,
I suggest that representatives-of the various groups, Airport,
FAA and Sailing or Glider Group get together; and after
talking with the Manager of Elmira, New York, Mr. Strong
was of the opinion he shouldalso be invited to Naples with
copies of what they are doing. Mr. Spingler interjected that
he had a copy of Chemung County Airport which encompasses
Elmira, and the secretary was requested to make copies of
it for members of Council. Mr. Strong suggested that Mr.
Wood be appointed to sit in with the group representing
City Council; Council members concurred. Dr. Louis Moore,
Robert J. Pearman, Paul Frank, Bob Hill, speaking in behalf
of glider operations, were in agreement with Mr. Strong
that the roprc3scntativos-shQtAd have a meeting of the minds,
but felt it could be worked out on a local level. Mayor
Turner concurred stating that each airport has its own
local set-up with its own general rules. Motion was made
by Mr. Strong, seconded by Mr. Kuperberg, that the Manager
of the Elmira, New York (Chemung County Adrport) be invited
to come to Naples and review the schedule of operation with
this group, and to bring with him the agreements that various
groups have with his airport. Mr. Zate was asked if he
would be willing to 'listen'. Mr. Zate replied he would
be most happy to work with the Council and the soaring
group, and added that be had never been approached by the
group. Mr. Pearman took exception to this stating that when
he approached Mr. Zate on the day of the arrival of the first
glider, the contact was made and when he left Mr. Zate, his
impression was that they could have a working agreement. After
due discussion, Mr. Strong amended his motion to read, that
the Manager of the Elmira, New York Airport be requested to
send a written report and copy of agreements to the City
Manager for review with the groups. Mr. Kuperberg accepted
amendment, adding, that the City Manager contact the FAA
in Washington and the Manager of the Elmira Airport as
quickly as possible, so that these groups may meet. .n the
very near future. Motion carried unanimously. Motion was
7
made b Mr. Stron , seconded b Mr. Morse, that the local
group, after reviewing and discussing all facets, submit a
written report to Council at least a week before scheduled
Council meeting,ibr Council to review; motion so carried.
In reply to questions posed by Bob Arick and Bob Pearman,
re ordering of glider, they were told by Council that the
understanding would have to be that if acceptable rules
are set-up, i.e. protective insurance plus agreements,
that glider operations would be permissable.
Returning to Agenda Item 4. BID OPENING: 10:00 A.M. Bids,
Cqas opened, were read by Mr. Savidge, Public Works Director.
Copy of tabulation is attached hereto and made a part of the
LT-4
minutes. Motion was made by Mrs. Miller, seconded by Mr.
Downing, that the bids be referred to City Manager Wood and
Mr. Savidge for tabulation and recommrndation for awarding
at the next regular meeting on July 5, 1967; motion so
carried.
At 11:00 L.M., Mayor Turner proceeded to Item 5 PUBLIC
HEARING; 11;00 A.M. Pursuant to noticed purpose of meeting
and in accordanc with Legal Notice re joint public hearing,
City Attorney Trettis read Legal Notice for Agenda Item 5,
which is attached hereto and made a part of the minutes.
Mayor Turner recessed meeting until such time as the Zoning
and Plannin4 Board was seated. Mr. Kuperberg requested that
while waiting he be permitted to road letter from Waste
Control, Jacksonville, Florida, a firm that specializes
in service re trash and garbage collection. He urgently
requested City Council to consider the possibilities of contractiug this service before considering the purchase of
new trucks. Motion was made by Mr. Kuperberg, seconded
by Mr. Downing, that the Council call upon Mr. Fletcher
to give them a propoGal for trash and garbage collection in
the City; motion so carried. Mr. Wood was directed to contact
Mr. Fletcher immediately.

C. M. Bauchspics
Clayton E. Bigg
Goodloe McDowell
Nicholas L. Wallingford
Absent: R. Goodiette
Mr. Bauchspies disqualified himself as having a personal
interest. Mayor Turner asked if there was anyone present
who wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to this
petition. David C. Spingler, attorney present representing
the Naples Company, Inc., after exhibiting a land use plan
for benefit of Council and Board, explained as follows
1.
There is no definitive
zoning pattern in this area; property
is surrounded by G-a on the west, F to the north, C to the
east and G to the south;
Property is directly across from three lots in "C" zoning
upon which Council permitted parking lots be constructed for
2.
use by the Del Mar Club;
3. Contemplated are two two-story apartment buildings, 30
feet in height, with 20 foot buffer strip;
4. It is considered good zoning to go from higher density
(G and G-a) down to medium density ( g ) and then into a
residential zone (C);
5. In reply to question by Mr. Downing that at present
the alley is being used for zoning boundary, Mr. Spingler
took umbrage pointing out that the alley running adjacent
to Lots 19, 20 and 21, has been vacated and abandoned, and
Lot 32 has been dedicated for purpose of road or alleyway,
all of which does not show on present 'zoning map. The Mayor
requested secretary of Zoning and Planning Board read all
correspondence received on this petition. The secretary
stated 24 letters were mailed to property owners within
500 feet. She read letters as follows from: Naomi McCul4,
1170 Oleander Dr., Paul M. Beich and Ruth Beich, 266 Yucca
9
Road, Franklin H. Bush, 1161 Crayton Road, C. H. Phillips,
306 Yucca Road, Harold R. Kernell, 376 Yucca Road, George
T. Dunlap, Jr., 430 Yucca Road, Jean Easterly, 1320 Crayton
Road; telegram was received from L. 4. ad G. B. Cadwallader,
and letters received from interested persons without the
500 foot were Mrs. Henry Hoffman and Naples Civic Assn.,
Benjamin G. Parks, President; returned letter from Paul
Dayton, at ux, 300 Central Park West, New York, LIE N.4 York.
These letters have been made a part of this record and are
filed. Speaking in opposition of petition were Charles
McCully and Gudrun Hoffman who spoke in behalf of Paul Beich.
CqIn rebuttal, Mr. Spingler again pointed out that the property
in question, are two isolated lots surrounded on three sides
cz.-4
by Multiple Family zoning which permits a height of 60 and 75
feet, and possibly an additional 12 feet, while F permits
30 feet, and the lots immediately across Yucca Road are
zoned "C" Residence but are parking areas for Del Mar Club,
and in conclusion he reminded all, that zoni:ag'is not static
and changes occur. Mr. Bigg stated that the map has been
drawn and all facets of desirability and equities should be
considered, and it is his personal opinion once rezoning
begins it gains speed, and he therefore moved that this
Board recommend to Council that petition for rezoning as
filed, be denied; motion was seconded by Mr. McDowell
;7-
and unanimously carried. Motion was made by Councilman
Kuperberg, seconded by Councilman Strong, that the recommen-
dation of the Zoning and Planning Board be accepted. Motion
carried with no dissenting vote. In view. of up-coming public
hearings and vacations of members, Mr. Watkins requested
that the vacancy created by Mr. Easterling's resignation
be filled as soon as possible. Mr. Wood requested the Mayor
set day and time of Council Conference with Zoning and
Planning Board re subdivision regulations... .Wednesday,
June 28th, 900 A.M. in Council Chambers, was set for

Report on deepening of upper Gordon River.
Item 8 (h)
Mr. Rood refreshed Council's memory stating that this
matter came up back in November of last year. The problem
was that Gulf American Land Corp. had a permit with the
Army Engineers to deepen the river to carry the Golden
Gate run-off, and they deepened it down to the hard rock.
At this point the City expressed concern as to what effect
blasting of the rock would have not only on the city water
system but also on the newly constructed sewerage treatment plant. He wrote a letter to'the Army Engineers
requesting them to hold off on the blasting until the city
looked into the matter further. The city subsequently
did gut into it with their engineers, county engineers and
with the engineer for Gulf American Land; they proceeded as
far as they could without blasting. The latest on it is
a letter, he stated from the Army Engineers to Gulf American
Land Corp.'s engineers stating that it was agreeable with
them to terminate the work. That, Mr. 'Rood stated, is the
status at the present time and my recommendation to you is
to leave it rest there at this point. Mr. Strong questioned
if the debris barriers were ever constructed and if so, could
the City find out whether they are satisfactory or not; Mr.
Wood stated he did not know. Mr. Strong moved that this item
be put over until the next meeting until Council gets a
report from the engineer to determine whether or not the work
that was requested by the Water Board and also by others, has
been completed and if so, if it is satisfactory to our
engineer. Motion was seconded by Mr. Downing and so carried.
Item 8 (i) Appoint Deputy City Judge. City Attorney
Trettis offered that he would like permission to contact
two attorneys in town for submission of their names to Council
for selection of an alternate City Judge. It was established
that Mr. Kenneth Hadcock would remain Deputy City Judge, but
because of conflict of interest, i.e. member of same law firm,
there have been a few times in the past when Defendant has
been a client of the law firm and neither Judge Brown or
Mr. Hadcock would sit as Judge. Motion was made by Mr.
Easterling, that the City Attorney be instructed to present
two names to the Council for consideration for appointment
as alternate Deputy City Judge; motion was seconded by Mrs.
Miller and so carried.

Report on deepening of upper Gordon River. Gulf American

hard rock.
Our engineers feel that it is not necessary to
deepen the channel further by blasting. This will be satisfactory to the Army Corps of Engineers if it is satisfactory
to the City Council.
Appoint Deputy City Judge. We have a need for a Deputy
Judge not associated with Judge Brown's law firm so that the
court can hear cases pleaded by Judge Brown's associates.
The case of the City of Naples vs. Nelson Faarber for paving
at the Port au Villa without a permit and contrary to City
specifications is being held open because Judge Brown refuses to hear a case defended by Clarke Nichols of his own
office.
At the Council Conference on Thursday, the full week of August 21
through August 26 was set for Council study of the 1967-68 budget.
We hope that you will all set aside that week.
All other items on the Agenda are either self-explanatory or have already been discussed.

Petition No. 8 - Special Exception
Mr. H. B. Watkins read first item on agenda from First Presbyterian Church of Naples, for parking lot, Block 17, Tier 7, Lots 14, 15
and 16 (3rd Avenue South); Zone: "F" Multiple Family District. Mr. Charles P. Holton was
present representing the First Presbyterian Church. After looking over parking plan as
presented, it was the consensus of the Board that inasmuch as property measures 66 X 150,
that diagonal parking would be more adaptable than parallel parking, with egress through
alley, pointing out to Mr. Holton, that cars are not permitted to back out onto 3rd Avenue
Motion was made by Mr. Bigg, seconded by Mr. McDowell, that a joint public hearing
South.
be held by the City Council and the Zoning and Planning Board for the purpose of granting
Special Exception and, that it be advertised for July 5, 1967 at 11:00 A.M. Motion
carried with no dissenting vote. Mr. Holton was advised to revise the parking plan
submitted today, so that it shows traffic flow, plantings, at cetera, for submission
at public hearing.
Although not an agenda item, Mr. Bert L. Pinkston, Zoning Administrator, requested that
the Board consider an application to permit erection of a fence at 130 - 9th Street,
North; he stated that this is being requested so that Mr. Russell Stahlman may proceed
with the work at quiddy as possible. Mr. Russell Stahlman was recognized and he explained
he is in the process of getting ready to move to the property now occupied by Ingram
Chevrolet, and he wishes to enclose entire area with 6' chain link Fence. Motion was
made by Mr. Bigg, seconded by Mr. McDowell, that this item be placed on the agenda; motion
so carried. A discussion ensued during which it was established that 1) Mr. Stahlman
would turn the barbed wire flange to the inside; 2) that fence would be p1aced on 10 foot
setback on 2nd Avenue North; and 3) Mr. Stahlman will have ingress and egress off of
2nd Avenue North. Motion was made by Mr. Bauchspies, seconded by Mr. Bigg, that this
Board recommend to Council that approval be granted Mr. Stahlman to erect 6' chain link
fence at 130 - 9th Street North. Motion unanimously carried.

Supplementary District Regulation, Land Development Innovations, which had been discussed
previously, was again brought up for discussion. After due discussion, the Chairman asked
the pleasure of the Board eliminate this item from the Zoning Ordinance in view of the
fact that it should not be handled by special exception but rather by the establishment
of a new zone, i.e. spe lled out in subdivision regulations. Mr. Bauchspies questioned
Mr. Vines as to why he inserted it in the zoning ordinance. Mr. Vines explained that
land development innovations are on the rise in the country, new things are happening all
of the time and if the language is in the subdivision regulations, it should be echoed in
the zoning ordinance because, probably, if you have a unique land development, very
logically some adjustment would have to be made in the zoning regulations; it also seems
logical, he pointed out, that the plans for the subdivision and compliance to zoning
ordinance, would have to be considered simultaneously For joint approval; whey, he said,
should a new zone be created for a so-called 'one of a kind'. If the City, he added,
wishes to invite new methods and/or techniques in developments, it has all the protection
it needs, for special exceptions are contingent upon maximum standards while a new zone
is contingent upon minimum standards.
.r
Motion was made by Mr. Bauchspies, seconded by Mr. Bigg, that item 13. Land
Development Innovations, be eliminated from the zoning ordinance. Motion so
carried.
Mr. Watkins noted receipt or two letters, both addressed to City Council and turned
I) From Moorings of
over to the Zoning and Planning Board for consideration Naples Property Owners Association. Mr. Watkins observed that in memorandum
presented to members today, dated June 13, 1967, Mr. Vines has attempted to amend
Ordinance re fences and walls; 2) letter from Aqualane Shore Association, Inc.
After reading of same, it was established by the Board that the items so mentioned
in letter, be discussed re insertion into the Building Code; Mr. Pinkston stated
he would take these under advisement.
Agenda Item 3 - Returning to Mr. Vines memorandnm dated June 1, 1967, Section 6
under Supplementary District Regulations, 8. Fences and Walls, after a lengthy
discussion and upon finding out that there was unanimous approval that 1) there
should be a restriction on fences and walls in front yards of dwelling districts;
2) there were no objections to five foot fences in side and rear yards, and 3)
to add prohibition of barbed wire unless approved by the Board, 8. was amended
to read as follows:
8. FENCES AND WALLS: Structural fences and walls not exceeding 5 feet
in height, other than barbed wire fences, are permitted in required
side and rear yards of all districts.
Higher fences and walls in
required side and rear yards, all barbed wire Fences, and fences and
walls in all required front yards, may be authorized by the Planning
Board, who shall first determine that they will be visually compatible
in the area where they are to be located.
After looking at proposed zoning map, legend, and synopsis of district regulations,
motion was made by Mr. Bigg, seconded by Mr. McDowell, that this Board recommend to
Council that a joint public hearing be held by the City Council and the Zoning and
Planning Board for the purpose of acquainting all Naples residents with the entire
proposed revision of City of Naples zoning ordinance, and, that it be advertised
for July 5, 1967 at 10:00 A.M.
Motion carried with no dissenting vote.
Returning again to Mr. Vines memorandum of June 1, 1967, after due discussion, item
23. Sidewalks Required, was accepted as written.
Another matter brought before the Board by Mr. Pinkston, not on the agenda, for
interpretation, was a request from 1st Church of Christ Scientist for addition
to church, Sunday School rooms. Under the new ordinance, explained Mr. Pinkston,
would this addition come under special exception. It was the consensus of the
Board that this would have to be considered under special exception. Motion
was made by Mr. Bigg, seconded by Mr. McDowell, that this item be placed on the
agenda; motion so carried.
It was established that the church would have to file
a petition for special exception for addition to church on Lots 20, 21 and 22,
less E 10 of Lot 22, Block 21, Tier 7; Zone: "E" Single Family Residence District
(Corner lots on the north side of Central Avenue and 7th Street South. Motion was
made by Mr. Bauchspies, seconded by Mr. Wallingford, that this Board recommend
that a joint public hearing be held by the City Council and the Zoning and Planning
Board for the purpose of granting a special exception and, that it be advertised for
July 5, 1967 at 11:00 A.M.
Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 12:30 P.M.
