List and to next month's Agenda.
Elaine Reed inquired if the developer had requested any part of the project to be
"grandfathered in".

came in with additional permitting, which they were now doing in order to add the
adjacent property for parking purposes; thus, requiring the Cultural Assessment
submittal.

month's Agenda.

6. New Business
A. Otter Mound Artifacts discovered post Hurricane Irma
Alexandra Sulecki, Environmental Specialist for Conservation Collier, gave
a brief presentation and displayed a large poster board depicting parts of Otter
Mound Preserve on Marco Island,before and after Hurricane Irma had
uprooted trees, revealing traces of oyster shells. She distributed a copy of the
Otter Mound Preserve Interpretive Trail Project Summary. She stated
the goal was to present the Executive Summary to the BCC at their October
meeting. The focus was on the collection,protection, donation and curation
of the artifacts found. She explained the 2.64 acre site was part of an
archaeological complex called the Caxambas Site, circa 750-1200 AD. It is in
the ownership of Conservation Collier. The photos of Otter Mound after
Hurricane Irma had exposed potting shards embedded in the root-balls of
uprooted trees. She noted several Royal Poinciana trees and 64 Gumbo
Limbo trees were on the site.
Elaine Reed asked about resources for funding to curate and manage what is
gleaned from the site.
Alexandra Sulecki responded both State and BCC approval, along with HAPB's
recommendation would start the process. The LDC through the County and the
State would oversee the salvage and recovery. The Marco Island Museum would
house the artifacts and Austin Bell would be the curator for the Marco Island
Historical Society. The Southwest Florida Archeological Society and the Collier
County Museum Department will work with them to obtain accurate historical
information for posted signs.
Eugene Erjavec noted that some of the artifacts were collected and some were left
when 2,000 year old artifacts were discovered back when the road and sewer
construction was conducted.
He stated that since some of the area had been disturbed, only museum quality
artifacts should be displayed.

Arsenault and Stuart Miller to the HAPB.

Eileen Arsenault and Stuart Miller for an additional term on the HAPB.
Second by Eugene Erjavec. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
The issue of attendance at meetings will be placed on next month's Agenda.
7. Review of Project and Activity Log
New item#8 - Otter Mound was added to the Project and Activity Log.
1. Rural Lands West SRA -Application is still under review by Staff
2. Interlocal Agreement with City of Marco—Several areas of discussion
ensued. Turnover in staff in the City of Marco Island had put this issue on hold.
Some suggestions were:
• Eugene Erjavec to work with Craig Woodward to contact the latest
Project Manager and archaeologist to attend a HAPB meeting
• Use HAPB in dealing with sites on Marco Island until interlocal
agreement is in place
• Education and working with the Marco Island Historical Society
• Defining what the interlocal agreement will consist of. and the benefit to
the community
• Role of the City of Marco to promote the concept
• HAPB's role in encouraging the project to move forward
3. Old Marco Inn COA—Ray Bellows explained the process of the Hearing
Examiner in the Inn remodeling project.
4. Pepper Ranch Historic Designation—Executive Summary will be presented
to the BCC.
5. Indian Hill Site on Marco Island—A good example why an interlocal agreement
is needed with Marco Island. Gene Erj avec noted the State's new examiner
on the project has to review the reports and will decide if and where the home
can be built on that site. Also, the State should have updated Probability Maps
for this issue.
6. Update the Probability Maps—Ray Bellows stated there was no new information
on this yet. He will follow up. Eugene Erjavec suggested putting it out for bid and
break it up into various sections to space it out over time.
7. Horse Creek Estates Historic Marker and Designation—A marker has been
placed on the site. However, no plans were anticipated for Historic Designation.
