The Conservation Easement, which was recorded on October 29, 2024, limits in perpetuity the property comprising the resort’s golf course to recreation and open space uses. The Naples Beach Club is being developed by The Athens Group in partnership with BDT & MSD Partners (“BDT & MSD”). In addition to preserving more than 84% of this valuable property as recreation and open space, the Conservation Easement area will include a new stormwater system that will significantly exceed the standards and requirements of the City of Naples and the State of Florida. “The City of Naples is pleased to accept this historic grant of a Conservation Easement in the heart of two of our beloved neighborhoods, Old Naples and Coquina Sands, that will preserve much of the Naples Beach Club golf-course property as recreation and open space forever,” said Jay Boodheshwar, City Manager. “This incredibly generous action which will preserve precious greenspace should serve as a model for other redevelopment projects in Naples, Southwest Florida, and the country for that matter. The City of Naples is pleased to continue to be at the forefront of environmentally responsible and resilient development that preserves the character and integrity of our community.” “This Conservation Easement represents a milestone achievement for the City of Naples and the North American Land Trust as we continue to focus on environmentally sensitive and responsible development,” said Jay Newman, COO of The Athens Group. “This collaborative process, which began with representatives of six Naples community homeowner associations, culminated with the grant of this landmark Conservation Easement. BDT & MSD and Athens are proud of this accomplishment, which affirms our ongoing commitment to the City of Naples and its residents. We hope that other responsible development projects will follow our lead to preserve natural resources for recreation and open space in perpetuity.” Naples Beach Club is located along 1,000 feet of white-sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The 125-acre, luxury, beachfront resort and residential destination will feature a 215-room Four Seasons Resort with unparalleled amenities, dining experiences, and recreational offerings, including Old Naples’ only beachfront dining at HB’s on the Gulf and the Sunset Beach Bar.

Hurricane Preparedness kerry.h@civicp… Tue, 07/23/2024 - 3:36 PM Microsite Hurricane Preparedness Every home should have the following elements in place before a major storm develops: Have an Evacuation Plan: Establish a "safety destination" (like a friend's or relative's house some distance away and out of the path of the storm) and plan several different routes to get there, so you can drive around roadblocks or hazards. Practice your plan and become familiar with each route, so you will be better prepared. In case you are instructed to evacuate, know that our Hurricane Evacuation Zones are no longer referenced by storm category but are now named by Hurricane Surge Evacuation Zones A/B/C/D/E. *Please note that Hurricane Surge Evacuation Zones are different than Flood Zones. Click here to enter your address and view your Evacuation Zone. Remember, in case of evacuation, you may need to turn off your gas, water, and electricity before evacuating. Each member of the household should learn when and how to do this before an emergency occurs. Prepare an Emergency Kit: During an emergency, it can take three (3) days or longer for government groups like FEMA or first responders to arrive. Remember, hope for 3 days, plan for 5! Assemble your Emergency Supply Kit; put everything in a special box and keep heat-sensitive items inside your house. Check your emergency equipment like flashlights, generators, and storm shutters as well. Click the link below for a full checklist of supplies.
