Board of Directors
Meeting
Minutes from October 6, 2009 |
Directors Present: Tim
Witherite, Ron Joeckel, Hiram Garcia, Terry Iamurri, John
Nicola, Sean Libby, Mike Vitte, Bob Walker and Jim Rice. The
meeting was called to order at 7:05 with a quorum present.
Approval of minutes: Jim Rice made a motion to approve
the September minutes; Bob Walker seconded the motion and motion
passed.
Treasurer's report: John Nicola reported our current
balance is $4,937.38. Current paid members is 52. Bob Walker
made a motion to approve the treasurer's report, Jim Rice
seconded and motion passed.
Neighborhood signs: Peter Goodin reported the county
"right of way" permitting is a $1,000.00 which was expected. The
county building department wants $128.00 for each sign. Which
was not approved to fall within our budget guidelines for the
sign installation. Bob Walker made a motion, after much
discussion, to make an appropriation of an additional $500.00
for a total budget of $4,000.00 for the signs and installation.
Ron Joeckel seconded the motion and motion carried.
Bus stops and grant funding: Noah Standridge was absent
to report on this. Jim Rice made a motion to table this item, it
was seconded by Mike Vitte and the motion carried.
New Business:
Rezoning of Cullen Walker
Property: This property is located on the south east corner
of Logan and Immokalee Roads. Peter Goodin let us know that
Cullen Walker's property is trying to rezone his 41 acres to
Commercial/Residential which will be a C-1, C-4 category. This
will impact Saturnia Lakes and possibly the end houses of Hidden
Oaks Lane depending on the outcome and type of building(s)
projected.
Shops at Tarpon Bay: Bob Walker made an observation and a
suggestion, these stores are in our backyards and many seem to
be struggling. He suggested we should try to patronize as many
as possible. It will hurt the neighborhood and our convenience
if this becomes a ghost or abandoned shopping plaza. It is much
easier than going through the construction area around the
interstate on Immokalee Road.
Landscaping on Vanderbilt Beach Road: Peter Goodin stated
that landscaping is in its final stages and to the median east
of Oakes Blvd. has not been planted. Tim Witherite made a
suggestion to have Peter check on this. It would be an
enhancement to the installation of our Oakes Estates signs if
this were done.
Children at Play: Peter Goodin made a suggestion that we
may consider purchasing signs for residence who live on Oakes
Blvd. and would like to have a "children at play" sign available
to them. This could be done inexpensively by purchasing online.
This will be considered at a future meeting. This will help
deter people from speeding down Oakes Blvd.
North Naples Baptist Church: Gayle Hahe wanted to invite
our Oakes Estates Community families to movie madness. The free
movie for parents to drop off their kindergarten- 6th graders is
Monsters and Aliens is Friday, Oct. 23rd from 6:30-9:00 p.m. A
free trunk or treat community block party is also being
sponsored by the church on Saturday, October 31st from 4-7p.m.
There will be a bounce house, dunk tank, face painting, games
and prizes, along with free BBQ and potluck items. Come dressed
in your favorite "non scary" costume. All of Oakes Estates
residences are welcome to theses events. Safe family fun. More

Neighborhood
Signs:
We are waiting
to here from Peter Goodin as to when the permits for the signs
have been approved. When that happens we will be looking for
some volunteers to help install the signs, most likely on a
Saturday morning. Bob Walker reminded the board that the
placement of the Oakes Estates sign on the north end of Oakes
Blvd. will be on Ken & Carol Carter's property easement and he
would like to be present when it is being installed.

Terry Iamurri seconded the motion and the motion carried.
First
Congregational Church:
Their was some
concern that the parking lot was in the way of the new

Lane. The site plans were brought by Bob Walker and it clearly
shows there is a jog for the easement that will make up that
intersection for connection.

have Swamp Buggies on display. These are events the church is
sponsoring and is graciously extending invitations to all within
our neighborhood.
Jim Rice made a motion for the Oakes Estates Advisory to
donate $100.00 toward hotdogs for this event while reminding us
the church has never charged us for meeting in their facility.
Denny Baker amended the motion to just give them a donation of
$100.00 to buy what they need.
Bob Walker
seconded the motion and the motion carried. If you would like
more information about these or future events please visit the
