Hearing Examiner Meeting · 2026-04-23 · agenda_item

Several local projects are currently under review by the Collier County Hearing Examiner. These include a proposed expansion for Dental Design Naples at 5048 Tamiami Trail N, involving approximately 1.24 acres. Additionally, The National Audubon Society, Inc. is seeking approval for campus improvements at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located at 375 and 475 Sanctuary Road, covering about 30 acres. Other items include a request for a boat lift canopy at 185 Topanga Drive, a boat dock extension at 140 Wilderness Cay, a comparable use determination for a pool store at 3545 Pine Ridge Rd., a conditional use for an arcade at 10823 Tamiami Trail North, and an insubstantial change for the Naples Motorcoach Resort at Tamiami Trail East and Henderson Dr. These items are in the early stages of the public review process. The work could involve site preparation, grading, utility installation, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about these potential opportunities before final plans and permits are established.
