City of Marco Island Florida Page 3 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 2, 2022 10. Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing ID 22-2232 Resolution - Off-Site Parking Agreement for Approved SDP-21-000089 for Property Located at 1202 Bald Eagle Drive with Additional Parking at 1121 Bald Eagle Drive (Previously Marek’s Restaurant) Marco Island, Fl 34145 City Clerk Mike Sheffield read Resolution 22-17 into the record by title only. At Chair Brechnitz's request, each Council member provided a verbal ex parte disclosure relative to the Applicant's Appeal, and City Attorney Alan Gabriel swore in all parties who indicated an intention to speak or provide testimony. Community Affairs Director Dan Smith provided an overview of the issue, the background leading up to this item coming before Council, and a summary of the April 7 -10, 2022 Old MarcoTraffic Study that was requested by the Council at its previous review of this Appeal. He introduced Ms. Meaghan Capuano, Transportation Engineer with T.Y. Lin International Group, to provide greater detail into the study's methodology and results, and Ms, Capuano addressed a number of questions from the Council. The Applicant was represented by Attorney Sarah E. Spector, Roetzel & Andress Law Firm, Ft. Myers, who presented an item-by-item review of the twelve City of Marco Island criteria for Planning Board and City Council consideration in assessing the Applicant's Appeal. She was joined and supported by Mr. Norman Trebilcock, AICP, P.E. of Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, P.A., Mr. Andrew Rath, Project Manager, Davidson Engineering, and Mr. Mark McLean, Studio Director, MHK Architecture who also spoke on behalf of the Applicant and addressed questions and concerns as raised by members of the Council. Public Comment Mr. Hayden Dublois (Collier Ct.) raised concern with the Applicant's assertion that the current state of the Old Marco area should not be factored into the Council's consideration of the proposed off-site parking agreement. Noting that the walk from the off-site parking area to the soon-to-be-built restaurant is inadequate, and his belief that the projected future traffic growth rate estimate is too conservative, he urged the Council to be mindful of these realities in its deliberations in this matter. Ms. Barbara Findlay (Old Marco Ln.) noted that, as a resident in the area of the proposed restaurant and off-site parking location, the situation is already overcrowded and unsafe. She expressed no doubt that a added negative impact to the residents and visitors in the surrounding community would result from approving the Applicant's Appeal. Mr. Ed Issler (S. Joy Cir.) pointed out that the Applicant's Site Development Plan cannot be considered approved until the parking plan is properly approved and recorded. He further called into question the validity of the April 7 - 10 traffic study given that the peak of the visitor and vacation season had already passed by that time. He sees the proposed valet parking arrangement to be "a joke". Ms. Rhonda Gloodt (Vernon Pl.) noted that other recent restaurant additions to the area already results in many patrons parking on residential owner properties when coming to dine or enjoy the entertainment. She sees the proposed valet arrangement as no solution, and she questioned the adequacy of parking for the 50 or more employees that are planned for the new facility. She urged the Council to deny the Applicant's Appeal. Mr. Michael Cahill (Bald Eagle Dr.) pointed out that the daily hours of operation at the restaurant at 1121 Bald Eagle Drive (Marek's) is not nearly as long as for the proposed restaurant at 1202 Bald Eagle Drive. Given this, and the likelihood that not all patrons to the proposed restaurant will make advanced City of Marco Island Florida Page 4 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 2, 2022 reservations, he believes that the recently-conducted traffic study is flawed in its assigned traffic rating for the area during the peak tourist season. Ms. Cindy Sheppelman (Treasure Ct.) communicated her disappointment with the Applicant's attempts to ignore the reality of the situation and to apply flawed logic in proposing a 'solution'. She asked the Council to not favor certain business interests over the interests of local residents. Ms. Michelle Pyle (Palm St.) spoke of her past experience as a restaurant owner and the inevitable abandonment of well-intentioned plans when the rush of patrons begins. She questioned why boat slips would qualify as 'parking spaces', and she observed that bar patrons (unlike restaurant patrons) typically linger for much longer once they are onsite. She asked that the Council reject the Applicant's Appeal. Mr. Howard Reed (Bald Eagle Dr.) expressed his belief that the spirit of the City's parking requirement for commercial establishments is being violated with this Appeal. The situation in the area is bad already, and the Council should be considering ways to improve the quality of life for the residents there. Noting that a number of eating establishments have come and gone over the years on Marco Island, he believes that there are already an adequate number of restaurants to service the residents and visitors to the Island. Mr. Guy Riordan (Bald Eagle Dr.) acknowledged the philanthropic endeavors of the Applicant over the years, but he asked that they "take a step back" to evaluate the effect that their proposal on the existing community in the Old Marco area. Mr. Darrin Palumbo (Shadowridge Ct.) expressed disappointment that the traffic study was not conducted in February or March when the Island was more highly populated. He expressed his concern that too many questions remain unanswered, and that the Palm Street and Bald Eagle Drive area is ill-suited for safe and convenient traffic and pedestrian flow. Mr. Harry Scott (Bald Eagle Dr., via telephone) indicated that he, like his neighbors, are very troubled by the existing situation in his area and the lack of adequate parking today. The area needs lighting, shared use paths and, perhaps, a roundabout to improve the safety of the area for visitors and residents alike. He encouraged the Council to reject the Applicant's Appeal if these important considerations are not addressed. Mr. Kent Kadell (Palm St., via telephone) referenced the observations offered by the owner of the Snook Inn regarding parking and traffic flow in the area as offered during the March 7, 2022 Council Meeting on this subject, and he questioned the validity of the estimated net vehicle count impact of the off-site parking arrangement on the traffic in the area. In his opinion, the quality of life for Island residents will not be enhanced by this proposal, and he urged the Council to consider this in arriving at its decision. Mr. Jason Bailey (Dogwood Dr., via telephone), as Chair of the Planning Board, reminded the Council of its power to apply subjective criteria (e.g. maintenance of the City's 'small-town feel') that the Planning Board cannot similarly apply. He questioned whether the existing restaurants in the area are remaining in compliance with their conditions of operation, and he advised the Council that the Applicant never spoke to an intention to operate the 1121 Bald Eagle Drive as a 'catering' operation when presenting its proposal to the Planning Board. Following the Public Comment, Attorney Sarah E. Spector presented the Applicant's rebuttal and clarification to statements offered by members of the public. She concluded by expressing the Applicant's belief that there exists no basis for a denial of the Applicant's Appeal. MOTION by Vice-Chair Grifoni, seconded by Councilor Babrowski, that Resolution 22-17 - Off-Site Parking Agreement for Approved SDP-21-000089 for Property Located at 1202 Bald Eagle Drive with Addtional Parking at 1121 Bald Eagle Drive (previously Marek's Restaurant) Marco Island, FL 34145 be Approved on the City of Marco Island Florida Page 5 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 2, 2022 Condition that No Catering Business be Operated out of the 1121 Bald Eagle Drive Location.

Also Revising and Adding Definitions to Section 54-101 City Clerk Mike Sheffield read Ordinance 22-05 into the record by title only. Community Affairs Director Dan Smith briefly reviewed the previous discussion of this Ordinance at its First Reading, and Chair Brechnitz proposed an amendment disallowing a rigid material (e.g. like aluminum) from being approved for use as a canopy cover. Public Comment Mr. Bill Palladino (Sea Ct.), as the initiator of the citizen-led request to modify the Ordinance, briefly reviewed the considerations addressed at the Planning Board and at City Council on this topic, and he reiterated the benefits to residential boat owners in having this Ordinance approved. Mr. Jim Boylan (Martinique Ct.) supported the revised Ordinance and noted that he has initiated a service business to assist off-Island residents needing removal of their canopy covers in anticipation of high winds. Mr. Ralf Unruh (Martinique Ct.) reiterated his support for the revised Ordinance, pointing out that the impact of boat canopies on the appearance of the canal system is negligible.

ID 22-2231 Recruitment and Retention Strategies Assistant City Manager Casey Lucius explained the rationale for the proposed employee retention actions, and she addressed several questions from members of the Council. Public Comment Ms. Teri Sommerfeld (San Marco Rd.) expressed her opinion that the proposed employee retention actions should actually be seen as 'recognition' efforts, and that the best time to implement true 'retention' efforts is at the time of initial employee hire with appropriate on-boarding, orientation, mentoring and employee engagement programs. MOTION by Councilor Irwin, seconded by Vice-Chair Grifoni, that - Recruitment and Retention Strategies - implementing a temporary $50/week gas stipend for six-months for employees who live off-island, do not have a take-home vehicle, and earn less than $70,000 per year, and a one-time longevity bonus to be paid out on June 1, 2022 for employees who have achieved 5, 10, 15 and 20 (or more) years of continuous service with the City as of that date, be Approved.

Following significant Council discussion, Chair Brechnitz called for members of the public to come forward to offer comment. Public Comment Mr. Darrin Palumbo (Shadowridge Ct.), as a coach at Marco Island Academy, asked the Council to take a 'big picture approach' to supporting the youth of the Island. He strongly urged the Council to renegotiate a favorable continuation to the interlocal agreement. Ms. Ryan Marie Roberts (Sorrento Lane, Naples), as Director of Athletics for Marco Island Academy, similarly underscored how important sports programming and baseball field access is to the students who participate in that program, and she asked the Council to renew the agreement. Ms. Melissa Scott (N. Bahama Ave.), as Principal of Marco Island Academy, thanked the Council, on behalf of the students, for all that it does to encourage and support education and youth development. She noted the significant amount that the students give back through their community service activities, and she asked the Council to ensure that the children's interests are maintained. Ms. Jane Watt (Red Bay Ln.), as Chair of Marco Island Academy, expressed her appreciation for the comments and support offered by members of the Council in seeking a solution that continues to benefit the young people of Marco Island. City of Marco Island Florida Page 8 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 2, 2022 Ms. Makayla Hendrick (Spinnaker Dr.), as a sophomore at Marco Island Academy and an officer of the school's Key Club, provided a rich perspective on the community service projects undertaken by its 84 student members, and the benefits that accrue to the Marco Island community. She requested that the City Council continue to support City investment in the youth of the Island.

ID 22-2237 Approval of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Provide School Resource Officers for Marco Island Schools Chair Brechnitz pointed out that this approval was an 'after-the-fact' approval request, and that the City's budget is impacted by the lack of reimbursement for the two School Resource Officers assigned to the Island's two charter schools. He requested that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda earlier in the meeting so that the Council would be made aware of these facts. Public Comment Ms. Jane Watt (Red Bay Ln., via telephone) called to provide insight, but withdrew her request to do so when she heard the Council's comments in support of maintaining School Resource Officers at Marco Island Academy.
