SUMMARY:Village Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Among the items to be discussed \n\nAn agreement with River Creek community builder GL Homes to build a sidewalk in that area of Corkscrew Road. The Village would pay GL Homes $104\,994 to complete the project as part of building up the River Creek area.\nAn ordinance to bring the Village’s written code enforcement policy into line with existing policies being implemented.\nA workshop on the Bonita-Estero Rail Trail (BERT) project. The Trust for Public Lands\, a nonprofit organization that works to support community park and green space projects\, has secured a $82 million purchase-and-sale agreement for a 14.9-mile segment of the Seminole Rail line (from Alico Road to the end of the line located in Collier County). While still an early step in the process of developing the BERT\, the summary sheet for the workshop calls this an “exciting opportunity” to potentially move the project forward.\n\nThe full agenda and supporting documents can be viewed here by clicking on “Village Council Meeting.”

He worked closely and tirelessly with Don Eslick over the years with the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) (now Engage Estero) on other community projects\, too numerous to mention. \nEngage Estero thanks Jim for decades of service to the community and we are so grateful that over 120 of our community were able to join us in honoring him. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thanks to Lee Health for their support of this event. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Engage Estero “Don Eslick Estero Person of the Year Award” is an annual event memorializing Don Eslick for his clarity\, vision\, persistence\, and significant contributions to the Estero community\, and to honor those that make exceptional contributions to improving the quality of life in Estero. \nIf you would like to learn more about the history of Estero and the positive impact that a dedicated team of committed\, unpaid volunteers who helped create such a sought-after destination in Southwest Florida had on our quality of life\, please click here to purchase a copy of “Forging a Better Path” that provides an insight into what helped shape the past and influence the future of Estero.

In contrast\, according to the CDC\, the average life expectancy in the U.S. is 77 years: Dan Buettner\, a National Geographic explorer\, identified five such Blue Zones. \n“And it’s not just about longer lives; it’s about healthier ones\, too\,” says Caitlin McAfee\, a wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. “People living in Blue Zones are also much less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses.” But what can we do here in greater Estero that would work to enhance our longevity? Come and find out! \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jodi Walborn\n					Blue Zones Project Policy and Worksite Lead \n					Jodi graduated from FGCU with a Bachelor of Health Science and a background in childhood injury prevention\, teaching pedestrian and bike safety. Jodi found her purpose in keeping the roads safer for everyone and igniting a passion to help create Complete Streets and educate all road users on how to use and share these roads. Jodi was recruited to the Blue Zones in 2020\, where she wears many hats\, including Organization\, Worksite\, School\, and Policy Lead\, as she works with community leaders to implement healthy choices that help support those who want to live longer and better. She still gets to advocate for safer streets and teaches pedestrian and bicycle safety! \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Read a Summary of His Talk \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Our second speaker is Antonio Carangelo\, Engage Estero’s Chief Research Officer and Safety and Transportation Council Co-Chair. \nTony will talk about the Sense of Place where the community and business can share their ideas of the Future Estero using technology to express their viewpoints. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Antonio Carangelo\n					Chief Research Officer / Transportation Council Co-Chair \n					Antonio Carangelo Jr. is an Information Technology entrepreneur\, innovator\, and consultant in the Financial\, Educational\, Banking\, and Insurance industries.

SUMMARY:Special Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Village of Estero Council will hold a special meeting for an appeal hearing about the proposed Brooks Town Center apartment development project on Wednesday\, December 13. \nThe project\, proposed for Brooks Town Center (the Winn-Dixie development on Coconut Road) as well as adjacent acreage\, would include demolishing the Winn-Dixie and constructing an apartment building at the site. \nFor several years\, project applicants\, Village officials and administrators\, and Brooks residents have engaged in extensive discussion\, project revisions\, and public comment. The project was ultimately approved with conditions in October by the Village Planning and Zoning Board\, but this was followed on November 7 with an appeal against the project filed by numerous Brooks community residents. \nView a full chronology of the project here. \nWhile 37 residents filed an appeal\, the Village is recommending that the 5 who live within 500 feet of the proposed development are considered “aggrieved parties” whose appeal can move forward for discussion. In the appeal\, these residents outline their concerns that the proposed development is inconsistent with the area’s comprehensive plan and DRI development order\, as well as other concerns. \nVillage staff\, on the other hand\, recommends that the Zoning and Planning Board’s approval decision is affirmed\, rather than reversing the decision as the appeal requests. \nAgenda is available at https://estero-fl.gov/meetings.
